Gen. Butler to Wed Mrs. C. S

Washington, Oct.2 G.-Gen. NJ. c..
Buffers friends in this city we're

society note in the Washington Post:
"The approaching marriage is an

Butler, former United States Senator
from South Carolina, to Mrs. Whit
man, widow of Charles S. Whitman,
of this city. MRS. Whitman is now
residing in New York. where her mar-
riaee is expected to take place very
shortly.
For some time past Gen. Butler has
been residing here with his daughter,
Mrs McNeeley, wife Of Lieut.. Nc
Neeley, of the navy, who is now on
duty at the Washington NAVY Yard.
To bis intimate friends, Gen. Butler is
said to have remarked on more than
one occasion recently that hewas think
ing of getting married. The remark
was made in facetious way and, there
fore, not taken seriously at the time.
The same remark he made to several
different persons, aud when one of
his friends volunteered to act as " best
man. Gen. Butler playfully remarked
that he was ready for the best man.

An Eighth avenue car was bowling
along uptown when gust Of wind un-
tremendously lifted straw hat from
the head of one of the male passengers
and sent. it whirling down a side
street, says the New York Press.
"Ob, look, auntie,' exclaimed a
small boy on tbe seat behind. as he
nudged the woman next to him and
pointed at the hatless and bald pated
passenger: "That mans lost his hat
Why don't he stop the car and go
after it9''
81 don't know, dear replied the
woman, "unless it is that the straw
hat season is over, and the gentleman
doesn't mind losing it,
"Weil, auntie, is your hat on good
and tight?''
"Yes, dear, why do you ask?''
Cause if it blcwed off it might
take your wig along with it, and
then you'd look just like the man
wouldn't you
But at this point the little boys
auntie whispered something in his ear
that made him srop suddenly, sit ap

SPOILED i DUEL.
The Scheme Senator Lamar Work
ed TO Prevent an Encounter.

During the co"rse of heated de-
bate ouce in the house Of represeute-
tiyes sharp words were exchanged he
tween congressman from New York
and one from Mississippi. A challenge
was delivered and accepted, and as
both we're courageous and determined
bloody meeting seemed imminent.
Friends interposed, hut III vain. Both
men were resolute, and neither would
Weld to the suggestion Of an an,icable
arraeement. AS last resort senator
Lamar was called in to save the situa-
tion. He realized that no ordinary
methods would serve his purpose,
and so reorted to strategy. The prin.
cipals in the proposed duel are still
living, so will call the New Yorker
Jones and the Mississippian Smith.
Senator Lamar called on the New
Yorker, and after the usual civilities
had been exchanged he said:
8. Jones, I've come here to do you a
friendly turn, I know that you and
Smith are determined to fight and
that nothing will stop you. have
not cone as mediator, but simply to
mitigate. if possible, the horrors of a
fatal end, so far as you are concerned.
AS to Smith, I have no fears. He is a
dead shot and can take care of hmself,
but he is not an unfseling man, and is
inclined to respect any partiality you
may have in favor of any particular
part of your anatomy. Some men
entertain a mortal dread of being dis
figured after death. and if the choice
were left thera would prefer not to be
wounded in the eye or mouth or cheek
bone. Now, if there is any particular
spot that you would like to have
Smiths bullet enter be has commits
stoned me to say that your wishes will
be respected. -
This extraordinary proposition stag
gered the New Yorker. Even his un-
doubted courage did not staonds Sc
we're test, and he paled yisibly.
After. he recovered his composur re ne
replied that he would confer with his
second. and Mr. Lamar. after an i'm
pressive farewell, took his leave.
The tip was given to friends OF the
principals and new negotiations enter
e9 upon. The duel did not come off.
Lamar's device had succeeded. New

BalDHIN's Dir SHIP FLIES.
Makes Successful Trip of Ten
Miles at st. Louis.

ST. Louis, Oct. 25.-Propeled, part
of the way by its own power and the
remainder of the distance by the
wind, which was blowing at ten miles
an hour. the Arrow" an air ship
owned and perfected by Thomas S.
Baldwin. of San Francisco, in charge
of A. Roy Knabenshue, of Toledo, to
day made an unannounced fight Of
ten miles from the WORLDS Fair
grounds over ST Louis and across the
Mississippi River to Cahokia, I'll.
The aerial performance attracted
the attention of thousands Of persons
7bo cbeered almost continuously as
the big flying machine, passed over
the Exposition grounds aud scared
high above the high buildings OF the
business quarter of St. Louis.
CIinging to the frame work OF the
car. his precarious foothold an iron
tube that forms one side of the base
of the triangular network of supports
and ribs Of the Arrows body, Knab-
enshne directed the movements of the
flying machine ard manoeuvered in
circles and against the wind high over
the great buildings Of the Exposition,
before an accident to the motor rem
dered the big fan propeliers useless
and curtailed his command Of oirec-
tion. but not of suspension or descent.
Then the motor broke Knabenshue
manoenyered the flying machine into
the wind, and he vas enabled to steer
the Arrow Ia q course that varied
several points either way from the
trend of the wind and to land at a
point Of his own selecting. When
within ten feet of the earth Knaben-
shue threw out his grapple, and one
of the hooks caught in a large tree.
The large balloon settled slowly to tbs
ground, resting lightly on its frame
work.
Knabenshue alighted, secured the air
ship to prevent injury from the wind
and assured Mr.. Baldwin by telephone
that the Arrow was uninjured, except
for the minor breaksge Of the motor
After landing K1abenshue said that
in his opinion, the trial Of the air
ship was distinct success. He said
that be could have brought the flying
machine to the ground at any time,
but that as he could, to certain ex-
tent, control its movements and that
as he felt himself in no danger, he de-
cided to continue the flight, and de-
moustrate that, even though the
motor was broken, the Arrow could
be controlled.
The fight occupied exactly one
hour. The motor broke about fifteen
minutes after the air ship left the
aeronuntic concourse.

Campaign Books are Destroyed.

At the close of the campaign Of 1896
which was by long odds the greatest
political contest ever seen in this
country,-A1r. Hanna rest9d from MS
arduous labors 1T the last moment
there came al urgent appeal from
Nebraska fer another allotment Of
funds. "If we bad fifty thousand
more" tele2raphed the chairman of
the Republ blican committee ia that
state, we would carry Bryan's own
state for Mckinley Mr.. Hanna
wanted to help the men who had
made such a gallant struggle for the
electoral vote of Bryan's home, but ne
did not suppose there was dollar in
his treasury, and it was too late to
get out aud raise more. He was
about to wire his refusal, when Secre-
tary Heath remarked:
eff it is only lack Of funds that
troubles You you need not stop Mr..
Hanna. We have more than hun
dred thousand dollars on hand. -
"What.n' exclaimed Mr.. Hanna
"the campaign at an end and money
still in the treasury? never heard
of such thing. Are you sure?"
Mr.. Heath produced the books to
prove his statement and the Nebraska
committeeman got the fifty thousand
dollars they wanted though they were
not successful in carrying the state
with it.
During national campaigns, the
books of the gtreasurer and manager
are kept in a peculiar way. Instead OF
entering accounts by name, each ac-
count is given number, and is thus
carried throughout the campaign.
The key to this legendary system is
known only to two or three trusted
men, and the accountants who keep
the books have not the slightest know
ledge of what state committee or other
organization or individual stands be-
hind the number. After the cam
paign is over the books are burned
and all the records, except possibly
some private memorandum kept by
the manager, are wiped out of exls-
tence. Such thing as the auditing
of campaign expenditures was never
known, and probably never will be
known, so far as national campaigns
are concerned. Everything is trusted
to the honor of the responsible men,
aud I have never heard that any of
the managers of a national campaign
were suspected of betrayal of their
trust in any way.-Walter Wellman in
the September Success.
