ACTION OF THOMAS POST
HONEY VOTED FOR AN EX-CONFED-
ERATE INSTITUTION.
Appeal Of Commander-in-Chie Tor
renee Receives Hearty support by
Former Union Men.

Last evening the circular OF Commander
in-chief Terrence. of the Grand Army Of
the Republic calling attention to a deserv-
ing charity for Confederate soldiers, was
read IN Thomas Post. In Alabama,
citizen has given forty acres Of land, upon
which will be built cottages in which the
brokendown Confederate soldiers can end
their days. Two cottages that will shelter
twenty-five have been built. but the organi-
zation can not raise funds to build more cot
tages- Commander-in-chief Terrence has
made an eloquent and urgent appeal to all
the posts In the country to forward what
\ ever amounts OF money they can to the
SConfederate colonel who has the matter
Nm charge.
The talk which followed the reading of
the appeal could not be called discussion
because il was all on one side. For three
Quarters of an hour words of kindness and
appreciation OF the manliness and the good
will of the ex-Confederate of to-day were
spoken by the comrades. Comrade William
II. Armstrong told OF most pathetic in
tident. A few months ago he was sudden
Nv called to Texas to care for a son who
was dead before he had started. AS he
tourneyed in the South, considerable
number OF Confederates, who had been at
tending a reunion, came into his car. One
OF them was a customer of Captain Arm
strong. who recognized him and came for
ward 10 speak 10 him. When the ex-Con-
federate was Informed of the very sad
cause OF the captains journey. he went to
his associates. who came about him taxi
ing him by the hand and expressing the
senderest sympathy and desire to be OF
assistance to him.
George H Thomas Post voted SIS for
cottages for ex-Confederates by unani-
NOUS vote. One thought was to try to
collect from the various posts in the State
q sufficient sum TO build an Indiana cot
fage. but the majority thought IL better
10 send the money forward at once. In
dIviduals who desire 10 aid this charity can

QUICK EYE FOR BUSINESS
CONSTABLE NEWHOUSE SMELLS OUT
PROBABLE DEsERTER.
Irwin Laverfng Arrested for Stealing
a Raxor-Turnkey Lowe Refused
to Surrender Him.

Irwin Lavering, a young man in sailors
dress, and william Howard were arrested
yesterday afternoon by Patrolman Condell
on the charge of petit larceny. 1t Is said
Lavering stole a razor belonging to James
Campbell a barber at the Kiley House
on Massachusetts, avenue. The razor was
found on Howard, who said 1t had been
given him by Lavering.
The latter had just arrived in town and
was so grimy and dirty from travel that an
extra look was necessary to distinguish him
from a colored man. He wore a sailor
cap, on which was printed ~. s. Hart
ford" He said he had left the Hartford
on furlough and had gone TO his home in
Milton, Ind, on a visit to his parents. He
showed papers which bore out his state
ment While he was resting in his cell at
the police station John Newhouse, who
has an eye out for possible deserters. came
into the tirnkey's office and began looking
over the list of names on the slate He
noticed the name of Lavering and, seeing
that the latter had given his occupation
a sailor. asked 10 see the prisoner. Turn
key John Long opened the small grating
and Newhouse called Lavering to the door
As he walked up Newhouse asked him
from what ship he had deserted. The boy
stoutly denied being a deserter Newhouse
arrest on the charge of desertion. and Law
ering laughed at him. The latter asked
Lavering for his furlough papers. The pa
pers were produced and showed that Law
ering had left the Hartford Aug. IA for
ten days He was TO have returned Aug.
a. to the cruiser Columbia, at New York
city.
After Newhouse placed Lavering under
arrest an argument came up between New
house and Patrolman Condell. The latter,
in coming TO roll call, went TO the turn
keys Office to see the slate. AS he was
looking at it Newhouse told John Lowe to
change the charge against Lavering to that
of desertion. Lowe refused, as he said
the city had got hold of Lavering first. and
If Newhouse wanted him he would have to
wait until the city had tried its case on the
petit larceny charge.
II was said last night that Newhouse
probably exceeded his authority in placing
Lavering under arrest until he knew that
the man was wanted. He had received no
notification of Laverings desertion.

Why We Sit on Tables.

About ten thousand women are ex-
sperated every day by men sitting on
tables So far as l am aware says
writer in Criterion, women do not pay
for the furniture, and it is none of
their business how it is used. The
habit of men sitting on tables has led
to the invention of cushioned billiard
tables and will no doubt ultimately re-
suit in other clever notions. At one
time it was supposed that men chose
to sit on tables because they could get
exercise without exertion by swinging
their own legs and by kicking the legs
of the table. The scientific fact is that
tables are more magnetic than chairs
IL three men walk into room where
there is no women, two of them will
make for the table naturally. The
third one will try two or three chairs
and finally give up in despair and join
the others. The source of this mag
netism is the friction that women Gre
ate by polishing tables SO frequently.
OF course, women say that they only
polish tables because men sit on them
and spoil them, but this is illogical and
feminine. No really clever men sit on
chairs. They use their chairs for
keeping their papers and things on, al
so their feet.
Chairs are notoriously immoral You
he finds himself losing his temper, in
variably gets up from his chair and
makes a direct line for the nearest
table. This enables him to keep his
temper and to argue reasonably.

To Fly to New York.

Gustave Whitehead, the inventor Of
the flying machine, of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, who recently flew half mile
successfully, is now engaged in con-
structing a new machine, in which he
proposes to fly to New York He said
the other day: my success in flying
with the first model, which is rough
and cumbersome, has induced me to
build another machine, which will be
larger and strong enough to carry two
men. l shall fly to New York on my
next trial. / am confident that can
fly that distance with my new machine.
will then have my new acetylene-
chemical pressure generator ready. /
can carry enough calcium carbide,
which is the fuel used, to fly for 20
hours. That is more than enough to
fly to New York with. My present ma
chine / am going to take to Atlantic
City to exhibit and shall demonstrate
its practicability there as being able to
carry a man."
Inventor Whitehead has received
scores of letters since the articles on
his successful flight were published
from scientific men in all parts of the
country asking all sorts of questions
and for descriptions of the machine.
He has two expert machinists now
working on the new machine and mon
ey will not be spared in making 1t
the acme of lightness and strength.
