1iE MOST FAMOUS ARTISTS MODEL
I'M THE WORLD

The June American Magazine con
tains an account of Antonio Corst,
/ the most famous artists model in
the world. photographs are repro
Iduced, showing Corsi in several
poses and in his rooms in New York
in the midst of hundreds of cos
TUNES. Numerous stories of his re-
markable experiences and talents
are told.
No public building Of this decade
is complete without at least a dozen
figures Of Corsi painted upon its
walls. The New Amsterdam Theatre,
New York, boasts fifteen such repe-
tition, the Boston Library presents
him seventy times to the public
gaze. The McKinly memorial win
dows for the Canton church show
the sun shining thru him four times.
The Metropolitan museum reyels in
his multiplicity. Corsi as an Indian.
Corsi as a FIorentine troubadour.
Corsi as the dying Christ, Corsi as
Mephistopheles, Corsi as a Greek
god, Corsi as praying monk, and
yet his versatility is notihalf stated.

A BABY MONKEY.
Don't Fail to see Mother and Her Bah,
Monkey.

One of the strange sights at Inger-
soil Park last winter was the baby
monkey, which came. to. gladden. the
monkey house one cold morning in
January. Mother "ol1nnie,'' as she
is called, is proud Of her offspring
and is continually looking after ba-
by's interest. The baby monkey is
one of the features Of the Yankee
Robinson show to be exhibited here
June 18th. Mamma will dance if
you give her a penny. She saved
up 81 cents once and some. bad keep
er stole it from her and bought
drink. Since that time she has hid
her money and no one around the
show knows how much she has in
her cage. She probably wanted
money to buy the baby some clothes
but that didn't seem possible, for
baby has fine coat Of fur and looks
as much like her mamma as possible,
altho of course smaller. Don't fail
to see this sight. circus day.

THE BIGGEST POSTAL. FRAUD.

THE biggest postal fraud in his
tory said postmaster, recently
cropped up in Philadelphia. This one
is big business. It employs forty
clerks. 1t has been going ON thirty
years. It yields an animal net pro-
fit of at, least SIS, 900. Yet at first
glance it seems to be themost fiimsy,
amateurish attempt at fraud of
some poverty-stricken lunatic.
Spain is the frauds home. From
a suite of offices now i'm Cartagena,
now in Barcelona, now i'm Madrid a
suite Of offices equipped with the
latest directories Of the worlds big
cities staff of clerks write in
English, in French in German,
Greek, Arabic and so, ON, letters to
the effect that the writer, now lying
in a Spanish prison, has $500, 900
hidden away and want help to dig
up the money. If the recipient will
help him half the treasure shall be
his and so on.
This silly letter, for more than
thirty years, has drawn vast sums
from gullible men in every part Of
the world. 1t is true that the Span
ish government sometimes tries half
heartedly to, stop the fraud, but the
swindlers. being rich, invariably
bride off their pursuers. Indeed, in
Barcelona, for seventeen years one
postmaster was paid $4,000 annu-
ally not to interfere with the hum
dreds of letters, heavy with cash,
that came to the swindlers daily
from the remotest regions.
And this historic fraud recently
cropped up in Philadelphia. Every
body laughed. deeming it the most
transparent and improbable swim
die.
Transparent it is. no doubt, to
people of our intelligence, but as for
improbable well, it has yielded
nearly three millions so far

he Civil War
At a Glance.
BY WALTON WILLIAMS.
g q

HE American civil war was thf
/ greatest conflict at arms in the
| history of the human race. The
American Revolutionary war
which lasted nearly twice as long. was
a series of mere skirmishes comnared
with the struggle Of the early sixties
Battles were fought during the civil
war, now known only to the mustiest
of historians or to local tradition OF
recollection. which exceeded in the
forces engaged and surpassed in the
carnage resulting some of the most i'm
portant actions during the struggle for
independence. The number of battles
fought greatly exceeded the number
incident to any single European war
The firing line was thousand miles
long. Nearly 100000 men were en-
gagged. More than 100000 men were
killed in action or died from wounds
or disease. In practically every re-
spect the war Of 1876 was the big
gest and bloodiest Of all time.
This stupendous struggle embraced
50 many ramifcations of incident that
complete history Of the whole is ut
terly impossible. Historians have been
able only to hit the high spots for
want of space and lack Of time and
endurance to sift and chronicle all the
interesting facts.
We do not know even how many bat
ties were fought. This can be only ap-
proximated. In the governments
chronological List of Battles the
number exceeds 1900. But the bureau
Of pensions has an alphabetical list OF
engagements, including skirr ishes and
such other minor actions as were deem
ed sufficiently important to note. This
Fist contains more than $500 engage
ments.
About 100000 Union soldiers were
enlisted during the war; The Confed-
crate records are very incomplete.
many of them having been lost or de-
stroyed. 1t is estimated that the num-
bers engaged on that side of the con-
fiict were not far short Of 100000 mem
These figures do not include the con-
siderable numbers Of irregular COM
batants on each side, many Of whonl
were not officially enrolled.
War department records show 359;-
528 deaths from all causes in the I'm
ion armies during the war. In proper
ton to strength of forces engag ed the.
Confederate losses were equally se-
we're. In the absence Of definite records,
any estimate, however, must be mere
guess. In the Union armies 67O5S
men were killed in battle, 43,012 died
of wounds received in action, aud 224,4
$50 died Of disease incident to service.
OF those. killed in battle AIS were
commissioned officers The number of
Union men who died while prisoners
of war YVES 29,498. United States mil
itary authorities executed 267 mem and
would have executed many more Ibnf
for the humane Intervention Of sAbra-
ham Lincoln. The ConfederateS~exe-.
cuted four officers and sixty, mem of
the Union forces.
1t is a most remarkable fact that in
the four years of this mighty conflict
only one man was executed for ''polit-
icaP' reasons by Union general. In
New Orleans man named Mumford
pulled down flag of the United States
after the. city had been captured, bur
before it was occupied by the Federal
forces. General Benjamin f. Butler.
who was in command of the occupying
force, caused Mumford to be hanged.

NEW TEMPERANCE MOVE

Little Rock, May 14.-One of
the latest and most significant
plans among the friends of temper
ance in Arkansas is movement
among some business and profess
sional men to organize themselve
into a company of one or more
hundreds, for tie purpose of fur
nishing funds with which to carry
forward temperance work in the
state. The new organization is to
be known as The Patriotic Hun
dred,o and will be auxiliary to the
Interchurch Temperance Fedora
ton, which is the Arkansas
department of the American Anti
Saloon League.
Each member Of The Hundred
pledges to contribute $50 annually
for one or more years. The
board of trustees of the Inter-
Church Temperance Federation
will be intrusted with the funds
contributed by The Hundred.
This board, of which Hon. George
Thornburgh of Little Rock is
president, is elected annually by
the various UNCONVENTIONAL church
bodies in the state, cooperating
in the federation, and will hold in
trust and expend the funds for the
publication of temperance litera-
ture, the campaigning of wet ter
ritory, the enforcement of the
temperance laws and otherwise
promoting the temperance work
in the state. Already a large per
cent of the first hundred has been
secured. Among them are some
of the strongest business men in
the state. Bankers, lumbermen,
manufactures, wholesale and re-
tail merchants, railroad officials
and capitalists are already en-
rolled among The Hundred. The
friends of temperance are greatly
encouraged by the help which they
will get in their work from this
source.

The Childrens Day services at
the Methodist church last Sunday
was pronounced by many the best
ever held in Newark. An i'm
mense congregation was present
and many were unable to get seats
or even get in the house. The
programme as previously publish
ed was rendered in a most pleas
ing manner, and the ladies who
had the affair in charge and all
those who participated are to be
congratulated upon their good
work. The decorations were
especially pleasing, and, in fact,
it seems that nothing was left I'M
done that would add to the success
of the occasion, the only cause for

church to seat the eager, expec-

gathered to witness the services.

NEW PORTLAND.

A very interesting service was held
in the Cong'l., church at North New
Portland, Sunday, July IA, when
abont 300 people witnessed the recep-
ton OF Is new members into the fell
lowship of the church. Rev. Charles
Harbutt of Portland, secretary of the
Maine Missionary society was present
and delivered very appropriate and
forceful address. Rev. T. B. HIATT,
the pastor of the church, baptised the
candidates, and gave to each the
right hand of fellowship. Mr.. HIATT
the past two years in connection with
his charge at No. Arson during which
time there has been added to the
church roll 81 members, more than
doubling the original membership.
A Y. P. S. G. E., has been organized
with an active membership of about
80. This is proving to be great
factor in the spiritual life of the
church. Mr.. HIATT having to return
to No. Arson for evening service, the
Society holds its meetings on Sunday
evening.
Truly God has not been unmindful
of the prayers of the faithful ones
who have so long struggled to build
up the church in the community.
They are reaping their reward, not
only by seeing new members added to
the church, but also by the express
sions of public sentiment which
speaks highly in favor of the work
that's being done. The business men
of the community, one of whom was
received into the church, have each
