DEATH OF AN OLD PIONEER.

Barney Mckinley, one of the old
mail drivers of this section, died
Saturday morning after an illness
of long duration.
Barney, as he was familiarly
known, came to this section about
eighteen years ago, settling near
F'alconer where he had a farm, at
which place he resided for over a
year, where he embarked in the
mail carrying business, and up to
the time of his death, held the con-
tract for carrying the mail between
here and Fl. Berthold.
He was a faithful employee of
the government, and no storms too
severe, but what he was ready to
make an attempt to get through.
His familiar figure will be missed
by those who SO long have watched
his coming and going on the old
stage roads. For a number of years
he carried mails between here and
Bismarck, and on the advent of the
railroad, he still remained in the
service, being moved to this place.
The funeral services were held
Saturday afternoon from his late
here in Washburn. The
remains were followed to their last
resting place in Farview cemetery
by a number of old friends and &C.
quaintances.

bert A. Callahan, of this place, to
Miss Inez Ipdseth, at the residence
Of the brides parents, Canton, S. D.

The bride and groom on Tuesday
arrived home, and were met at the
depot blythe band and many friends.
Burt was rather surprised when he
saw the crowd, as he expected to
arrive in town unheralded and un.
announced. Wednesday evening
at the Casey Marshall building, the
young couple was rendered a recep-
ton by the people of Washburn,
and here was another surprise for
the groom, as he was not aware of
the reception until he was pre-
scented at the door. The reception
was an enjoyable one, the time be-
ing occupied in dancing. Themu-
sic was furnished by the Washburn
Orchestra. At IL o'clock. ice cream
and cake vas served in the dining
room of the Merchants Hotel.
The young couple will commence
housekeeping as soon as possible,
and we are glad to welcome them
to our midst, and extend to them
the best wishes for future happi-
ness and prosperity.

oUS SIiIEST DRINK ON RECORD,
one That Queen Victoria Took when
She Conferred the Title of Duke
ON the Earl of Fife.

What is probably the costIiest drink
on record, cost its recipient 81 ,750, saws
the Philadelphia Press
When the earl of Fife--as he was
then--became the husband of Princess
Louise of Wales. Queen Victoria. at the
wedding breakfast which followed the
happy ceremony, drank to the health
of the duke of Fife
The drink cost the semi-royal bride
groom the amount of his letters patent
confirming the dukedom
Letters patent accompany the con-
ferring of a title on an individual.
They take the form of a royal man
damus and the issuing of the docu-
ments is a costly matter, which has to
be borne by the ennobled; $500 is prac-
tically the amount of the fee a new
knight has to pay for the letters pat
ent conveying the royal authority. A
baronet's liabilities are about the
same.
When a "Mr." or "Sir'' is advised
of the royal intention to elevate either
to the dignity of baron. the letters
patent conveying the royal authority
carries with it a fee of $3.50; of a Wis

WALKS AND TALKS.
By julius Chambers, in Brooklyn
Eagle.

Can it be possible that we are to
have a revival of the Booker T. Wash
ingtOn controversy? The distinguish
ed head of Tuskegee College dined yes
terday with an assorted lot of bishops,
barOns, and savants, at Stockbridge.
The odds are that Mr. Washington was
the most interesting man at the gath
ering. The LOtOs Club, of New York,
which doesn't take advice from any
body about its guests, has entertained
Booker Washington several times, and
on every occasion he has made a hit
l remember that he was present at the
last Irving dinner and made the best
speech of the night. l have seen him
follow speakers like Depew and Por-
ter. like Tom Reed and Wayne Mac
Veagh, but never did he finish their
inferior.
Washington has a fine presence. As
was said of dear old Benjamin Brews-
ter, whose face was a mass of scars,
the listener doesn't care whether Book
er T., has a white or black face. He
is an intensely interesting man. social
ly. He has Travelled, knows what he
has seen and why he saw it.

Mr.. Frederick Douglass, in the au-

Mr.. Lincoln, wishing to converse with
him upon some points on which he de-
sired the opinion and advice of that
very remarkable man, sent his carriage
and an invitation to Mr.. Douglass to
come up and take tea with him. The
invitation was accepted. Probably new
