MEXICAN WAR SURVIVOR.
Aged Veteran Who Saw Service Un
der Gen. Winfield Scott.

Que of the few survivors of that lit
tie army which, under the command
of Gen. Winfield Scott, administered
crushing defeats to the Mexicans and
finally ended the war with the capture
of the City of Mexico, is Orson Nick
erson of Oconto, Wis. Although 80
years old, he bears his age with all the
vigor and activity Of many man
in the prime of life.
Mr.. Nickerson was born in the city
of Canton, n. Y, in 1924. He enlisted
for service in the Mexican war in
May, 1916, and was assigned to Scott's
command, with which he participated
in all the battles of that brilliant cam
paign. A fact which lends additional
interest to this aged veteran is that
he was a member of the company of
which Robert e. Lee, later COM
mander-in-chief of the confederate
forces, was captain, and Ulysses S.
Grant lieutenant. Not many years

They condoled with each other-a

two previous trains had been already

misery" she reminded him. And ul-
timately an inn gave them harborage.
Miss Muir established herself in a
rocking-chair. The best will in the
world to keep awake was not strong
enough to come off successful in the
conflict with warmth; for her chair,
become its ally, swinging to rhythmic
time, and the combination conquered
her.
Sir John took up his position on the
opposite side of the fire, whence his
romantic vision thrust itself forward
as the lens to be used.
His self-complacent, enviable bach
elordom, which he had thought as long
ago brought to perfection's point, now
shivered under the featherweight of
Rosa's presence-a little more slim,
1t might be, little more attractive,
certainly, yet not one whose impress
he would have reckoned as likely to
influence, for either good or i'll, the
well-considered structure of his life.
Desire of acquisition gripped his
heart. 1t would be Grass stupidity not
to make the most of this unlooked-for
opportunity, for she might, tomorrow,
so out of his life as she had gone once
before. The fear became intolerable,
and his face took on it an expression
'of resolution. He turned to her on
passions nerves.

"Ah!" The woman awoke, moved,
wondering, shy, but completely hap
py. Her eyes were soft with sleep.
"John," she murmured. His face,
from the altitude of his 73 inches,
smiled down at her.

Negro Preacher Suicides.

Rev. C. P. Nelson, colored, pastor Of the
African Methodist church at Orangeburg,
committed suicide at his home in that city
last Thursday by cutting his throat from
ear to ear with a razor, having previously
attempted suicide by taking lauoanum.
The cause was evidently financial trou6-
les. During the summer he got his church
officers to borrow $500, they thinking
they were borrowing only $4,000. The
preacher had the handling of the money
and had spent it and could not replace it:
Exposure coming on, with threats OF
prosecution, he killed himself to avoid
the disgrace.

II. g. Frick was said to have been a
large buyer Of United States Steel, but
a good deal of the stock was sold for

that the improbabiiity OF an increase in
the dividend rate at the meeting this
month furnished a sufficiently good rea-
son for short sales, although the best
opinion for some time has been against
any increase before 1897. One of the I'M
considered possibilities so far as purely
speculative in this are concerned is that
next spring the rate may be put as
high as per cent although in some
