looked up and said with as much enthu-
siasm as / ever knew him to betray,
"Hancock's a glorious soldier"
He never changed his opinion. Han
cock was always given the advantage
of exposed position. He bore the brunt
of the battle Of the Wilderness; he
made three terrible assaults at Sp0tt-
sylyania he led the march to the North

Adam Badeau gives the following
interesting account in the Chicago Tri-
bune of the relations of these two
great soldiers:
Hancock and Grant were at West
Point together. They were good
friends there and Hancock used to
call his future chieS by the familiar
nickname Of ''Sam Grant" Long after
ward during the Wilderness campaign
lit was the day after the great attack
at Spottsylyania, wnen Hancock re-
ported: II have finished up Johnson
and am now going into Early" Grant
nominated Hancock for brigadier gen.
eral in the regular army. Hancock re-
membered the old relationship Of ca
Diet times, and said to the brother-in-
law Of the general-in-chief, who told
him the news: II love Sam Grant"
The regard was mutual. At one mo-
ment in the battle of the Wilderness
things looked very dark; Warren was
driven back to the center, and rush
of stragglers came hurrying in toward
Grants headquarters with news that
Hancock was routed. Grant was seat

PASSING OF FAMOUS HEN.

Had Laid 4,75O Eggs Before She
Died mt Age of %.
Betsy" George Bradley's famous
hen, known to poultry raisers all
through Tennessee, is dead at the age
of % years, and has been buried with
honors BETTING her career of useful
ness.
Betsy was one of brood of chicks
Matched on the day that Bradley's eld-
est son was born. nearly twenty three
years ago. By the date CT the young
mans birth the family established her
age.
Betsy was occasionally permitted to
indulge her motherly instincts, upon
which occasions she invariably brought
into the world from a dozen to fifteen
of the finest chicks that ever scratch
ed gravel.
When not engaged In motherly duties
Betsy sometimes worked overtime and
laid two eggs a day.
AS year after year passed without
any appreciate difference In Betsy s
strenuousity, she became the wonder
of the country and the barnyard jewel
OF the Bradley family.
|. 1t is estimated that during that time
this Industrious hen has laid 4,750 eggs
and Matched $40 chickens.
Over her grave Mr.. Bradley will
erect a headstone inscribed as follows
"Here lies laying Betsy. Born in
1888; died IN 1905 She did many a
fowl deed for those she loved. Peace
to her bones-let them lay. May she
lay again some other day."
If the 4,750 eggs that Betsy laid dur
ing her nineteen years of faithful serv-
Ice were sold in the market at their
present price they would realize

an average price of 80 cents they would

POWER FROM COKE GASES.

German City Contracts for Electric
Current at a Low Rate.
One of the problems confronting the
city officials of Crefeld, Germany. in
providing necessary improvements in
the new harbor territory and the sub
urb Crefeld-Linn, adjoining. was the
problem Of furnishing these places
with cheap electric light and power.
The direct current generated at the
city power house could not be utilized
On account of the distance hence the
city would be compelled either to build
and equip new power house or to set
up an alternating current machine and
conduct thu current to the place Of
consumption, about five miles away.
The cost to the city would be great
to adopt either plan. The consump-
ton of current for the first few years
VIC aid be small. and In order to Sc
ere as little loss as possible from this
condition the city closed a contract with
the railway directors to furnish the
yards and depots of several stations
along the lines of the road with light
and power for ten years.

The city Of Crefeld has completed a
contract with this company to have an
electric current delivered supplying all
its needs at price much lower than
the city could supply it and the city
officials are rejoicing that the occasion
presented itself to them at such an op-

As to Free Hides.
Quite a little is being said about free
hides, especially by people from Massa-
chusetts. These people are urging that
the duty upon hides does the Western
cattle raiser no good and that to remove
the duty would materially reduce the
price of imported hides, and therefore
of leather
The duty may not do the Western
cattle raiser any good. but If it tends
to raise the price OF hides in our mar
kets it certainly adds to the value of the
farmers product. If 1t does not add to
the price of domestic hides 1t does not
increase the price of leather made from
these hides.
Ii we admit that the duty adds to the
cost of imported hides how much does
Ii affect the cost of shoes? We pre-
sumo it is safe to say that an average
pair of shoes is not affected by the duty
on hides to the extent of 10 cents per
pair To remove this expense Of 10
cents or less will not cheaper the price
of shoes to the consumer. A pair OF
shoes now selling for So would not
with free hides sell for $3.50. They
would still sell for So. The manufac-
turer might make the 10 cents and no
doubt would This is why he Is so
earnest about having free hides. His
interest Is not to help the consumer by
giving him cheaper shoes.
a
The difference would be too small to
accomplish anything there, but saw
ing Of 10 cents OH each pair Of shoes
would represent handsome profit to
the manufacturer who makes many
thousands of pairs. This Is what is
stimulating his enthusiasm for free
hides.-Trenton Gazette.

A press dispatch from Essen, Ger
many, mentions the expected demand
from San Francisco for structural steel,
and adds:
The Steel Syndicate has just voted
$1.25 increase in the price of half-rolled
and structural steel"
Our foreign friends have done just
this thing to us several times In the
past In 1880 they found us short of
steel rails. and held the price on us at
$3.50 for two months, averaging $67.5O
for the year. Then we were making
less than 100000 tons of pig iron per
year. This year. thanks to the Ding
ley law, we will probably make more
than 25.OOO.O0O tons, and the German
Steel Syndicate can put their price
where they please without hurting con-
sumers in the United States.
