DELAYS TAFT BUTTONS.
Chicago Firm Refuses to Put Union
 Label on Goods.

New York, Aug 27.-When Chair man Hitchcock of the republican na- tional committee arrived in town yes terday the first question fired at him by Chairman Parsons of the county committee was to ask why no cam paign buttons were out.
 "Geewhittaker," exclaimed Par sons, get those buttons or they'll drive me out of the city. The city is button mad. Buttons on the phone, buttons on the street, and, in fact, wherever go."
 ''The same with me, old chap grimly replied the national chair man.
 The trouble is in Chicago. The republican committee gave an order for million Taft and Sherman but tons. The concern making them is a union establishment, but it will not place the allied union labels on the goods. Hence the delay.
 Hitchcock will go to Chicago to strighten out the matter
 Delegate Coakley said last night:
 ''Mr Hitchcock promises to stand by the union, and I know he will. He has assured me that he will not issue one campaign button that does not bear the union label"

SAVED MAILLARD'S LIFE Edward Keefe Plunged Into Water at
 Bantam Lake.

Although it is not generally known Edward Keefe, the well known sing CT, did a very heroic act while at Bantam Lake last week with several members of the Algonquin club. AL though Keefe is only midget he is good swimmer and when he saw one of his friends fall from boat into the lake he jumped in clothes and all and kept him from going down until help reached him. Keefe was out in a. boat with Edward Mail
 lard another member of the club when Maillard stumbled and fell from the boat while changing his seat. Keefe Immediately jumped into the water and prevented Maillard, who was unable to swim. from going to the bottom. Some of the other members of the camp. who were on the water ct the time, rowed to their assistance and pulled them into the boat. Keefe and Maillard were drenched, but otherwise none the worse for the incident. The boys kept the matter quiet for a few days but finally came to the conclusion that 1t was time for Keefe to re- ceive some of the credit due him..

OLD TIME ZOOLOGY.
The Queer Insects Lawson Discovered

The Queer Insects Lawson Discovered
 ln North Carolina.
 Tn the Raleigh state library is an interesting old volume presented by President Madison in 1881. This quaint book is the first history of North Caro- lima. written fin 1Ii1 by John Lawson. Gent" surveyor general of the lords proprietors. The history is well worth reading. but perhaps the most enter taining portion of its many pages is that in which MT. Lawson describes the fora and fauna of the new coun- try. He is evidently the ancestor of the railway conductor who decided that. according to the rules of the road, ''dogs Is dogs and cats is dogs. but turtles is insects"
 "we will next treat of Beasts" says the historian. "The chief are the Bufte- 10. or Wild Beef; the Tyger: the Bever; and the Bearmouse.

WEEDS MORMON AGED 80.
Renounces Her Religion to Do So,
 and Says That She Loves Him.

and Says That She Loves him.
 St Louis, Aug 27.-Miss Emma Buetner. fairly good looking young woman of Mascoutah, III, near Belle vile, has renounced her religion 10 become a Mormon in order to marry Jesse Steele of Salt Lake City, Utah, who is B years her senior. The marriage will take place at the home of the young woman's father, Eber- hardt Buetner, coal miner, month hence.
 Steele is 80 years old. He left Mascoutah, where he was born, In 1840, and went west in search or riches. He settled in Utah, ems braced the Mormon faith and has been a follower of the teachings or Brigham Young ever since. He IS not polygamist.
 Three months ago Steele returned to Mascoutah to pay visit to rela- tives and old friends. It was his first trip back. Among those old aequaintances were MT and Mrs Buetner, and when he visited them he became acquainted with their daughter, Emma. 5-
 From the outset the aged maa showed his interest in Miss Buetner. He called at her home daily ana made her costly presents. In a month he had proposed marriage. She did not give her answer until she had first obtained the consent of her parents.
 Steele will remain in Mascoutah until the wedding. Then he and his bride will go to Salt Lake City. He owns a ranch near that place and is wealthy. His first wife died year ago, and he has three children.
 It may be necessary to call in q circuit judge or justice of the peace to perform the ceremony, as it 1. not believed any clergyman would officiate, and there are no Mormon elders in the vicinity.

TALKS WITH PRISONERS.
Captain Bannon Would Not Allow
 Summa Around To-day.

Paul Summa will begin to realize soon that 1t is useless to try to do much with prisoners while Captain Bannon Is in the vicinity. Summa has on several occasions been chased out of the city court room, that is. outside the rail, by the captain, act ing on instructions of the judge And Summa seldom gets near pris- oner if the captain sees him first.
 This morning he called at the sta tion with couple of friends to see Gerardi, who was bound over in the city court this morning, but Captain Bannon did not think there was any reason for Summa to talk with the prisoner in view of the fact that he had seen him after court only about an hour previous. Summa, much disappointed, left the station.
