Married Wrong Twin.

If any one can tell Henry Wilkin-
son, of Alton, ILL.,, travelling sales
man for st. Louis firm, that he
married the girl he intended to take
as his wife they can do no more than
he can. Wilkinson is in a dilemma.
de does not know whether he mar
ried- one girl to whom he was engaged
or her sister. In Birmingham, N. Y,
recently there was double wedding,
in which Misses Rose and Florence
Eska, twin sisters, figured as the
brides. Mr.. Wilkinson and another
gentleman we're the grooms. Wilk-
inson went there for the purpose of
becoming married to Miss Rosa Eska.
One of the guests in jocular man
ner remarked: "Be careful, girls,
that you do not change places"
Then, in spirit Of fun, the girls ex-
changed, and it seems that the
grooms did not notice it. After the
ceremony Florence made the state
ment that she had been married to
Wilkinson, but Rose said that, it was
only in fun, it could not be legal
wedding. Florence does not con-
slider it as joke, and says she is
Wilkinson's legal welded wife.

New Postal Card.

A new one-cent postal card is now
being printed at the bureau Of en-
craving and printing and when the
first issue of 100000 has been coun-
ted and bundeled the new card will
be placed on sale. Its distinctive fea-
ture is that the new card contains a
vignette of President Mckinley in
lieu of President Jefferson's portrait.
The issue of the Jefferson card will
be discontinued when the present
stock on hand is exhausted. When
desired by purchasers the new postal
card will be furnished in sheets of 40
cards each. IT is expected this
arrangement will effect large saw
ing to purchasers who have their mes
sages or addresses printed on postal
cards. In order to avoid the heavy
device at the top of the Jefferson card
and leave clear space for the post
mark the new postal card has three
lines of small type printed abont AN
inch below the top of the card. The
card is thus divided laternally into
two sections--one for the postmark
and one for the address. Yorkville

A Washington telegram says that Glenn
son College will be materially interested
in the fate Of Representative Grosyenor's
bill to establish schools of mines and

sentative Grosvenor's bill provides that a
portion of the sale of proceeds of public

mining schools in the various States and
Territories. Ten thousand dollars is to
be appropriated to each State for the

annually ten years, one thousand dollars
in excess of that appropriated the year
preceding. A similar measure has been
introduced in the Senate, and, ae each

An up-to-now young man walked
into one of the leading hotels in a
Missouri city, took seat at the table
and ordered an elaborate dinner.
There was no milk brought him,
SO he thus asked for it: Landlord,
please pass the COW this way" To
whom the landlord thus reported {:
"Walter, take the COW down there

THE DEATH OF GEN. POLK.
An Interesting Account Of the Sad Event
from Northern Newspaper.

The death of Gen. Leonidas X.
Polk was one of the saddest tragedies
of the war. There have been many
versions of how the death of the
noted bishop and general occurred,
but the following from The New Y York
Times of 1864 is the true story of the
killing of Gen. Polk, which occurred
on Kennesaw mountain, the body
being brought to Atlanta:
cit seems that Gems. Joe Johntson,
Polk and Hardee, accom- mpaied by
Gen. Jackson of the cavalry, and an
escort of staff officers had ridden out
in front of Bates line to examine a
position, thought to be suitable for
the Washington artillery. The
horses were made fast at the foot of
the hill, and the party ascended to
the crown. Here they were the ini-
tials to an abattis, with several en-
brasures, rendering the place very
much exposed. Our own guns were
less than 800 yards in front. There
had been little desultory firing during
the early hours of the day, but this
had ceased some time before the
group of officers began their recon-
noissance. This was prolonged to a
much greater extent than usual, and
glided into general and animated
conversation, all of the officers being
gathered into knot and using their
hands and glasses with a freedom be-
speaking rank and interest. The
gunners upon our side could not fail
to see them plainly, and while they
were being observed, deliberately re-
turned the observation, with full
time for calculation and adjustment.
The party seemed to forget their ex-
posed situation, although some of the
cannoneers who had been at work up
on the little tier of breastworks,
pointed out to them the accuracy of
our shots. Presently spherical case
shell was discharged from our battery,
and exploded directly above the
heads of Gems. Johnston, Polk, Har-
dee and Jackson, all of whom fell to
the ground to avoid the concussion of
fragments. 1t was then proposed to
divide, and the different officers sep
arated to such courses as were at
hand. Gen. Polk selected very se-
cure shelter; but, becoming impatient
and anxious to see the range of fire
more accurately, he stepped out upon
the brow and was intently gazing out
across the country-his arms folded
and his left side presented-when
a 3-inch round shot from steel rifled
cannon struck the elbow, crushing
both arms and passing through the
heart, portion of the chest and
stomach, and out and on its MUIR
derous course. Leonadis Polk fell
lifeless and mangled to the ground.
Joe Johnston was bending over him
in an instant, with the rest of the
party. They lifted him in their
arms to an ambulance and his corpse
was carried to his quarters where
his bewildered military family re-
ceived it-with the mourning of men
meeting the corpse of father. This
was on the 14th. The body of the
deceased reached Atlanta at 3 o'clock
next morning-services by Rev. DR..
Quintard were said at noon, and the
remains proceeded on the afternoon
train to Augusta, and from thence to
Asheville, N. c., where his family
was residing.

Miss Roosevelt Unbends to Laundry Maids.

A Groton, Mass, special to the
Philadelphia Record has this to say
about Miss Alice Roosevelt's visit to
that city during tie illness of her
brother:
"Miss Roosevelt's popularity was
given a great boom by the laundry
girls employed at the school. There
are about dozen young women from
the surrounding country whose duties
are to see that the linen Of the young
aristocrats of the academy is at all
times in proper condition. These
girls are the daughters of farmers
and the majority of them go to their
homes every night. To Miss Roose-
welt, radiant with the strength of
her young womanhood and joyous
with the JOY that comes with perfect
health, every person about her is of
interest.
"About 8 o'clock one night Miss
Roosevelt was walking briskly across
the scEooi lawn, having just come
from the infirmiary, after visiting her
brother, when she met a party of
five or six girls from the laundry.
One of them, more courageous than
the rest, approached the daughter of
the White House and said:
Miss Roosevelt would you mind
shaking hands with me, have heard
so much about your

said, Il am very glad to see you,
girls, and so you are Miss Edith Ed
wards? l have dear friend by the
name of Edith, so you can see that
[ shall not easily forget YOU
cat Miss Roosevelt's request the
other girls came forward and the
Presidents daughter chatted with
them for more than twenty minutes,
making the six Groton young women
extremely happy.
''In leaving her new acquaintances
Miss Roosevelt told them to be sure
if they were ever in Washington to
come and see her at the White
House. One asked if the visitor
would be willing to write her name
in her album, and Miss Roosevelt
not only promised to do SO, but said
she would be glad to do the same
for all of the six. Later that night
in six different farm houses six
,breatbless, delighted girls were relat-
ing with glowing eyes their remarka-
BILE experiences with the daughter of
the President.
"News of Miss Roosevelt's conde-
scension spread from farm house to
farm house, and when the tale was
told the usual sequence was the hitch
ing up of the best horse and buggy
and the riding over to Groton school
of the whole family to get glimpse
of this extraordinary young woman"

viii have to be more watchful than

Southern States will turn numerous

is figured that the Republican ma
iority in next House will be only
%. The Democrats think they
see "A chance to wipe this out by
extra efforts. In this State the
Democrats have appointed special
agents to work in each Congress
