Good Redlnsote Model.

An exceedingly odd and picturesque
redingote model finished for a New
port belle is in natural colored pom
gee of coarse weave. The noticeable
feature of this garment is the unusual
back, which hangs loose from the
shoulders and falls in at the waist
line, where 1t is held by huge but
terfy bow made of black silk. The
long ends fall well below the hips.
Bands of silk ending in butterfly bows
at the left side decorate the box
plated skirt. With this striking cos
tune mademoiselle wears big mush:
room Panama hat trimmed with a
black silk bow, whose loops are wired
on both edges.
Apropos of hats, cloche shapes of
shirred net in delicate tints trimmed
with marabout or huge bows OF lace
are one of the last season fancies at
the seashore.

SENT SHERMAN TO THE SEA.
Messenger of Grants Historic Order
Is Now Living in Michigan.

Glengarry, Mich.-'Twas not a mes
sage to Garcia, but message fraught
with greater import that Charles May
of this village carried while serving
during the civil war 1t was the mes.
sage from Grant to Sherman ordering
him to start on the march from At.
lanta TO the sea.
The name of Mr.. May does not ap-
pear in the historical account of the
sending of that message, but he pos
sesses a Barnes school history of the
war, in which is a picture to which
he proudly points. 1t is a picture OF
Gen. Grant sitting upon a log and
writing the memorable message. BY
his side stands a young orderly hold
ing his horse and waiting for the mes
sage.
That's. me-" says Mr. May as he
points to the picture.
Mr.. May was born in Waverly, N
Y, in 1S43. He lived in Pennsylvania
from 1853 until the breaking out of
the war, then he enlisted in the First
Pennsylvania cavalry for three years,
and at the end of his term of service
he reenlisted for three years. 1t was
after his reenlistment that he was
detailed as an orderly to Grant and
carried the famous message.
Mr.. Mays regiment and another
regiment were so badly cut up by
the hard fighting through which they
went that the remnants of the two
were consolidated and called the First
Pennsylvania provisional. and it was
from this regiment that he received
his honorable discharge.
Mr. May came to Michigan in 1866.
He served on the police force at
Muskegon for three years. He was
deputy sheriff at Newaygo for two
years. For a year he was marshal
of Manton. In the village of Sherman
he was marshal two years, and he is
still in the ring He is now engaged
in the saloon business in this village.

BILLIONS FOR GOSPEL
VAST CORPORATION PLANNED TO
EvANoELlzE THE WORLD.
J. Campbell White, Head Of Layman's
Missionary Movement, Proposes a
Combination Beside Which All
Others Appear Feeble.

Chicago.--A $4,000 100000 corpora
don TO evangelze the worldEthat is a
project beside which the capitalization
of the United States Steel corporation
and the wealth of John ID. Rockefeller
pale in comparison, while the paltry
81 ,OOO,O 600 asked by President Small
for the support of the striking teleg-
raphers is but a bagatelle.
The fruits of high financiering no
longer will be confined to the creation
of swollen fortunes, If the plan, advo-
Gated by J. Campbell White, head of
the Layman's Missionary Movement,
is successfully carried out. Big cor
porations will no longer be regarded
as solely vicious, pandering to private
interests and strangling the publics
inherent rights.
Instead the mightiest corporation,
with stockholders in every state and
province in the countries of the civil
lied world, will be benevolent trust,
the vast resources of which VIII be
turned to the work of sending mission
aries to convert the heather. So tre-
mendous, il is declared, the power of
this movement would be that the pa
ganism of the dark continents OF the
globe would be wiped out within a
single generation.
When j. PiCrpont Morgan learns OF
this latest combination the wizard of
finance is expected to sit up and take
notice. His Napoleonic brain never
conceived a merger of common inter-
ests on such gigantic scale. But
Morgan was handicapped. lie had
only the backing Of Wall street. The
present movement will be backed, 1t
is argued, by millions of investors,
and the capitalization will represent
no watered stock.
The plan, which Mr.. White made
public at the Winona assembly, is to
issue 10000,000 shares at 500 each,
payable in installments of So a year
for 20 years and 100000 shares at
81 900 each, payable $50 year. With
+, this sum realized Mr.. White asserted
missionaries could be supported in
blackest Africa and in the farthest do
mains of the uncad islanders >oi
: Oceanica.
1t is estimated that there are at the
present time 675,0OO,O0O heather who
have never heard the gospel, requiring
a force of 10000 missionaries to ac,
I complish their evangeliZatioD. If every
church member would give one car
fare a week, It was said, this force
could be maintained. The LaymaRs
Missionary Movement organization is
nine months old, and already has
branches in England and Scotland and
has so men investigating missionary
| conditions.

Army Men to &c. More Pay.

inston.--Increase in the pay
OF the army, but no increase in its
size, is the compromise which has
been reached between the president
and the leaders in congress who con
troll legislation. The president has
given hearty approval to the plans
of the general star OF the army, which
included both increases, but after con-
situations and conferences it has been
decided that IL will be impossible to
do more at the next session of con
gress than secure an increase in the
pay Of the army. Immediately upon
convening bills will be introduced in
the senate by Senator Dick of Ohio
and in the house by Representative
Capron of Rhode Island, carrying out
the agreement which has been
reached.

Last Monday evening at , o'clock the first of series of three games of ball was pulled off at Monticello between the Dan Shea team from Memphis Tennessee, and Monticello. The two teams were pretty evenly matched, aud up to the 7th in- ming Monticello led by one score, but by little extra good play ing on the part of the visitors and few errors on the part of some of the Monticello players several runs were gained by the visitors. No further runs w4fe made on either side and the game closed ' to 4 in favor of Memphis. The game was um- pired by Davis. Batteries: for Memphis, Lawless and Parrott,' Monticello, Baum and Gotham.

The able-bodied young men of this country are plodding along iu way that will eventually terminate greatly to their dis advantage. They are spending the best part of their young manhood at work about saw mills, on railroad construction,
 timber cutting, etc, and are sav- ing not a penny for a rainy day, sickness or old age. While they
 are at this work the land-shark
 syndica tes from the North and
 East are buying tip all the Va can't lands that they can get, for a song. and holding it for high prices, or for renting. One of si,ese days the mill business will aii of, the timber business will be at aUend and railroad con- structior will not be so great, and then these young men,. ofto- day. will be old, broken down Mhealth and in purse. and their means of livelihood being at an end. land will be high and their chances of ever owning a home will be cut of. It would be ad. visable for them to purchase land enough, now, while they can, to spend their old days on. A man with a home of his own can manage to pull through, somehow, and maintain his in
