ALoNzo EATON IS DEAD.


 Confidant of Grant and Well Known Civil War Veteran Dies in Hospital
 Capt. Alonzo Eaton, a former per Grant in the Civil War, and later one sonal friend and confidant of Gen. of the first mayors of Mattoon, H., died in Wesson Memorial hospital, New London, Tuesday morning, after lingering illness of several weeks. He was "A years old. Previous to the illness that resulted in his death, he was hale and hearty, and had died an active life.
 He was born in Townsend, of parents who gave him a common school educa- tion, but moved later to Iowa, where he pursued various occupations, until the outbreak of the Civil war. After his retirement from active life he had lived in this city at 251 Main street, Capt. Eaton's life was an eventful one, both in the service of his country in the Civil war, and his activity in business and political circles after the close of the war. As young man he raised company for service at the front and declined it's captaincy, in order that 1t might go to a personal friend. Being one of the first organi- cations to respond to Lincolns call for troops in the state of Iowa, it was des- ignated the Ed Iowa Regt, and was 1 brought to the notice of Gen. Grant himself by it's meritorious service.
 Soon after Eaton's company had been placed in active service, the regiment was in need of a quartermaster and it was then that Gen. Grant showed that he had not forgotten Lieut.. Eaton, for he sent for him and asked him if he wanted the appointment. Upon re- lieeiving an affirmative reply, Grant communicated with authorities at washington, and soon after Eaton was given the commission as regimental quartermaster with rank of captain. In this position Capt. Eaton had charge of all the horses, mules, clothing and leverything that did not come through the commissary department He also had payroll of $4O,OOO week to han dle
 In Chicago he was also well known as a business man and was secretary of the open board of trade for many years
 Capt Eaton was married twice, his first wife being Miss Willard of Fitch i burg, by whom he had three children. Two are living, one being w. w. Ea- ton, of this city, an expert accountant, and the other is Mrs. Benjamin Hollo- way of Albany. The third child was Mrs Charles Anderson of this city, who died some years ago. MT Eaton's second wife was Miss Emma Cooper, whose home was in Rockford, 1ll., but who met and was married to MT. Eaton in Chicago. Capt Eaton is a Mason, an Odd Fellow and Granger, being at present chaplain of the Po- mona grange.
 Capt. Eaton served four and a half years and at the close of the war, was honorably discharged and it is said that he left the quartermaster's de- partment very little better off finan- clally than when he went in. After the war, he continued to be a close friend of Grant and while he was In the White House, he was frequent visitor and had occasion to be closely identified with the Presidents family affairs.

A suit against the Cattaneos was insti- tuted by the government after the dis appearance of the Van Dycks. He also informed MT. Morgan that the sale of the pictures had taken place without the authorization of the courts, which was necessary because several of the owners were under age. and he pointed out that the export tax of 10 per cent. on the values of the pictures had not been paid.

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
INTERESTING NOTES REGARDING
 THE GREAT SHOW.
The Uncommon Excellence of the Ex- position and Other Interesting Fea- tures--By George F. yett.

The Uncommon Excellence of the Ex-
 position and Other Interesting Fea-
 tures--By George F. Vett.
 No exposition has ever had so large, varied and able exploitation as the Jamestown Exposition. The matter that has been sent out by the Press and Publicity Bureau of this enterprise has not alone served the purpose of exploitation,c but has been made the subject of editorial notice In some of our best newspapers. A few of these have criticised 1t adversely, claiming exaggeration, but regardless of atti- tude, the fact that this exposition lite- rature has attracted attention of this kind from the best newspapers is something unprecedented. If some of those who claimed exaggeration could visit the site of the Jamestown expo sition at this time,-even in its still in- complete condltion,- they would read fly agree that a degree of enthusiasm is permissible in the premises, and that so far from being exaggerated in the matter of exploitation, the half has not really been told.
 The claim has been made that this will be the greatest exposition yet heli; not the greatest industrially financial ly, commercially or artistically, but simply as a whole the greatest exposi- ton. Whether it be Paris, Chicago, St. T rn1 ( ,a Fn In e. town may have in mind, he will find here features of surpassing and alto- gether novel interest He will find mo- velty, originality and striking con- trast 10 all his exposition experience.
 He knows that the inspiration of the enterprise is the most romantic and eventful chapter of the nations histo- ry.
 He will find a location unsurpassed and certainly never equalled in exposi- tion history.
 He will find an environment the most historical of any section of the United States, one wherein the patriot may find inspiration and the poet theme.
 He will find a score of nearby points of natural beauty and historic interest, sufficient of themselves to make the trip worth while. In the great inter- national naval and military displays he will be offered a splendid pageant ney- CT before equalled in this country.
 If genuine amusement and health giving recreation be an item desirable in the sum of his expectations he could find no better spot than the shores and waters of the nations finest harbor.
 Last, but not least, he will find a city beautiful, full to overflowing with the wonders of industry of handlcraft, of art, of science; a city of fairy pal aces, glittering under the light of a Virginian summer sky, and rearing aloft the symbols and the tokens of the founding of the nation, and over all the sentiment of the patriotism and the brotherhood of people first In peace, first in war and first In every good thing under the sun.

DEMAND MORE PAY.

Conductors and Trainmen Present
 Their Demand to Railroad officials.
 After being in session in this city nearly five weeks, the executive com- mittee of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railroad Conductors have presented to the off, cers of the New Haven road their de- maflds for an increase in wages, changes in working hours and revi- sion of certain rules governing their work in other branches of the service.
 It was stated yesterday that the two committees had adjourned for at least one week, during which time the off, cers of the road will be given opportu- nifty to go over the new schedule and when the latter have reached con- elusion or are ready to file their an swer, the committee of employees will return to this city for direct confer ence with General Manager s. Higgins, and possibly other officials. The ut most secrecy is maintained by mem bers of the committees and the compa- ny in regard to the extent of the wage increase asked for, but a reliable au- thority stated that not all of the men in these branches of the service come in for an advance in pay under the new schedule. However, that most of the conductors and trainmen will be benefited there is little doubt.
 The grievance committee of the ma chinists, employed in the various shops of the railroad company have also filed their claims with the road and the tel egraphers are still negotiating with the general superintendent for an increase in pay
