LIFE STORY OF CONGRESSMAN
HIT IS INTERESTING.
Took Down the Celebrated Debate Be-
tween Lincoln and Douglas"
Recognized Authority on
Foreign Affairs.
Chicago Special.

Older men remember what younger
men should learn, that the latest Illinois
candidate for the vice presidency was a
shorthand reporter, who took down the
celebrated debate between Lincoln and
Douglas. 1t was incoln himself who
called Mr. Hit by his endearing name,
Bob" and to old and young he has been
Bob" Hit ever since. He began his
connection with the general assembly OF
! Illinois in 1858, 1853 and 1860, being the
official reporter of debates. In the early
years of the war he occupied confiden-
tial position under Secretary Stanton.
In 1863 he was secretarRof a senate
committee, and in 1865 he accompanied
a board of treaty commissioners to the
northwest, ascending the Missouri river
for a distance of 800 miles and reliev-
ing the monotony of official labor by
sending letters to the Chicago Tribune
describing a lonely desert, scourged by
ferocious savages, where to-day are
thousands of smiling homesteads. In
1867 and the following year he made a
visit to Europe, which was extended to
Jerusalem, and on which trip he had the
extraordinary experience OF being cap
tured and released by Greek bandits on
the famous plains OF Marathon.
By 1871 the modest man from Illinois,
for so he always had been called even
aften years of most distinguished serv-
ice, began his really public career. He
went to Santo Domingo with a commits
sion sent there by President Grant to
| consider the question of the annexation
| of the island, and it was Mr.. Hit who
prepared and presented the report of the
commission, thus early in his career get
ting a taste of the expansion policy of
the United States, with which he has
been associated intimately ever since.
year later one finds this extraordinary
reporter taking down stirring testimony
of the kuklux committee, and here again
it was Hit who wrote large section
of the youminous report. He was for a

1T WAS NOT APPRECIATED.
Minister'S Wife Had q Flower Hat
and Put 1t IN the Wrong
Place.

story is told by the Chicago Inter
Ocean of woman in that town. the wife
OF a young minister, who has always had
d liking for hats OF the tlower-bed variety
although she condemned others for vast
ing money that should go to the heather.
At present she owns a dream of a
SKY piece" that is covered with violets.
The young wife wore this hat to funeral
recently, at which her husband ofticiated.
Going INTO the room which contained the
coffin she removed the hat and placed it
on a stand.
The sadfaced, sleell-haired undertaken
came i'll few minutes later to arrange
the floral tokens" on the coffin. After
putting the bouquets, wreaths, pillows,
broken wheels, anchors and fine usual run
of flowers in place, he picked up the vio-
let-coyered hat and tenderly placed it on
top OF all the rest.
Several OF. the ''mourners" giggled, and
the minister's wife wanted to grab her hat
and run. She had to let it alone however,
until the close of the ceremony.
When, she, marched past the bier she
lunged for the hat and successfully made
her escape.

DEATH IN A TUNNEL
Ten Men Killed at Will
Transport, Pa.
The Accident. Which was One Of the
Most Peculiar on Record, was
Caused by Gases from
Locomotive.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, May ga tele-
gram received at the Susquehanna
Coal Co.'S office in this city last even
ing stated that ten miners were suffo-
Gated by gas and sulphur fumes from
q small locomotive yesterday after
noon in the workings of the Summit
Branch Coal Co. at Williamstown,
Dauphin county.
The accident was one of the most
peculiar in the history of the anthra-
cite mines, and no reason for it can
be assigned by the officials. The vic
Tins include Michael Golden, general
inside foreman of the company, and
nine miners and laborers.
The tunnel in which the disaster
occurred is one mile in length and is
used by the coal company to convey
the coal mined in the workings in the
Bear valley to the breaker in the Will
liams valley. The men employed in
the mines in the Bear valley who re-
side in Williamstown have made a
practice for years to ride to and from
their work on the cars that are hauled
between the two valleys by small To-
comotives.
About o'clock Wednesday after
noon General Inside Foreman Golden
and about 80 miners boarded a loaded
train which was about to be hauled
from Bear valley to WiliamstOwn.
Everything went all right until about
half of the journey was made, when
some of the men attracted the atten-
tion of the engineer, who at once
stopped and it was found that nearly
every man in the party on the cars
had been overcome by the gas and
sulphur which emanated from the
stack of the locomotive and floated
back over them.
The engineer at once crowded on
all steam possible and the unconsci-
| Gus men were hurried to the Will
Jamestown end of the tunnel. Here
| help was at once summoned and the
men were taken to the surface, where
corps of physicians made every pos
sible effort to resuscitate them, but
aid came too late for Foreman Golden
and the other victims.
The tunnel has been in constant
operation for more than 40 years and
this is the first accident of any kind
that has happened in it. 1t is per
fectly free from mine gases and the
ventilation is so perfect and the air
current so strong and steady that be
sides being used for hauling cars, the
tunnel has formed one of the intakes
that furnish air to the mines. No
trouble has ever been experienced
before from gas from the small loco
motives and the officials are at sea as
to the cause of the tragedy.

An Ohio Notary,

Salineville, o., May 23.-Mr. John w.
Manning, Notary Public for Columbiana
County and one of the most respected men
OF the state, has caused to be published
the following letter:

Mr.. Manning's letter is a strong recon-
mendation for Dodds Kidney Pills and is
worth the attention of all who suffer with
Kidney troubles.

The only rationalway to cure dyspep-
sia is to remove the catarrh. PeIuna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in Il natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than rcsorting to artificial
methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pcpsia than all other remedies com
bined simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh islocated
in the head, Pcruna cures it. II ciltarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Pcruna curesit. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this loca tion
as in any other.

NEARLY A s2,ooo,ooo LOSS.
Yazoo City, Miss, Is Swept by Con-
fIagration.

Jackson, Miss, May &c. - With
every business house of any impor-
tanc in ashes, together with a large
number of private residences, the
principal hotel and the passenger
depot, Yazoo City, town of G,OO0
people, As miles from Jackson, is
resting after one of the most exciting
days in its history. The fire started
Wednesday morning and burned until
5 o'clock in the afternoon, destroying
a total of 200 houses. The burned
district is three blocks wide and 12
blocks long. The estimates of the
loss are between $1,600,000 and ST.
000,0 900.
The city is putting in a new system
of waterworks and the old system,
which had wooden mains, was wholly
inadequate to meet the demand.
Pipes burst all over the city and it
was impossible to get the water
even to the first floors of the build
ings.
A man named Chambliss, a citizen
of Yazoo City, was killed by falling
walls and Mayor Holmes was badly
hurt He had been in office but three
or four weeks.
In the afternoon the fire jumped a
bayou and spread to Latonia, a resi-
dence suburb, where it destroyed
some of the finest homes. About GO
families are homeless.

MORE SCHOOLING NEEDED.
Chicago Superintendent Says Child
Labor Age Limit Should be Raised.


Extension of the age limit before
which children legally cannot go to
work was advocated by Superintend-
ent of Chicago Public Schools Cooley
in an address before the Iroquois club
of that city recently
81 would like to see the legal limit
so arranged that children could get
their elementary education before 60
ing out into the world to work." said
Mr.. Cooley. cat present IA is the linn
it, irrespective of whether they have
gone through an elementary school or
not AS showing how many children
are forced to go to work at tender
ages, our statistics prove that 901a
per cent, of the pupils are under IA.
''Fifty-two per cent. of Chicago
school children leave school before
finishing the sixth grade. There are
at present 5000 children in the city
who go to school only half of each
day, because of lack of accommodation,
and the need is great for the new
schools we have arranged for. These
will accommodate $4,000 pupils.
LAS to the high schools, there seems
to be an idea that these are for the
wealthy. This is erroneous, and stat
istics show that IS per cent. of the
children have parents who are poor
or who live on salaries. / am in fa-
vor of having commercial subjects
and practical matters taught in every
high school. To be the colleges of the
eople the high schools must be more
practical"
