Edward S. Braqq

From Fon du Lac, Wisconsin, comes Bragg, the impetuous leader of the famous Iron Brigade in the civil war, has been fatally stricken at the age of S4 Veterans of both the north ern and southern armies will be sorry to hear of the death of this gallant old soldier
 It was General Bragg's fortune to gain distinction in both war and poli- tics. Having lived long in retirement after the war, he leaped anew into national fame at the democratic nat ional convention at Chicago, in 1884 He was making a speech seconding the nomination of Grover Clevelar l. It was an electrical moment. Tam many was openly opposed to Cleve- land. and John Kelly, the Tammany chieftan, had assured the convention that Cleveland could not carry New York The Hendricks forces were exultant; they believed that they had the Cleveland crowd on the run. Gen eral Bragg, although weighing scarce ly a hundred pounds, had a shrill voice that was easily heard in every part of the great hall, and this of itself pleased the crowd, for it is rare that a speaker can make himself heard in a national convention. He was excoriating Tammany hall. Give 'em a little more grape. Cap tain Bragg," yelled a voice from the gallery. The apt renewal of this fla miliar quotation of war times caught the crowd and it yelled itself hOarse. The demonstration acted as a tonic of inspiration for the little general. We love Grover Cleveland for the enemies he has made" he shrieked. ana pandemonium ensued. The nom ination of Cleveland was assured from that moment, and We love him for the enemies he has made became one of the biggest assets of the Cleveland campaign.
 Like many little men, General Bragg was irritable and quarrelsome, and he succeeded, to his great satisfac- tion, in making many enemies in politics He was a wholly fearless man, and was as honest as brave. If peace will yield him happiness in that better world to which he has surely gone, let us hope that he will have it bountifully given to him.

PLURAL SUBJECTS WITH SINGLE
 VERBS"

The principal difficulty with the rule that two singular nouns, united by the conjunction and must have the verb in the plural is that there is no such rule. It no more exists in English than it does, for instance. in German. or for that matter in Latin, from the grammars of which it has been foist- ed upon us. By this is meant that there is no rule which in such circum- stances imperatively requires the verb to be in the plural There would be lit tie objection to stating it as q general principle, were ample allowance made for the cases to which it does not ap- ply. In the majority of instances the construction with the plural is some thing more than the preferable one; 1t is really the only one. But there is respectable minority in which the use of the singular verb is. more idiomatic and therefore distinctly more desir- able.
 It is a consequence of this view that the number proper to be employed in any given phrase depends largely on the conception of unity or diversity which it is sought to convey. It there fore cannot be decided by any abstract ut-and- dried rule. Do the two or more words forming the subject blend into one idea in the mind of the speak CT or writer? Does he seek to make the fact of that blending prominent? In such a case the singular verb should be chosen in order to cause the concep- tion of oneness to be controlling. If, on the other hand. there is no such feeling of unity of impression-as in four cases out of five there is not-the plural number is the one to be em- ployed. But the point. here to be made emphatic. is that in the large domain lying between the extremes the use of the particular number rests in the dis erection of the writer and not at the dictation of the critic.-Thomas R. Lounsbury in Harper's Magazine for June.

THIS WOMAN HAS SOLVED THE
 FOOD PROBLEM.

Ada, Ohio-Mrs. Catherine Estill. widow over 50 years old, has been cooking meals for the young men and women students of the Ohio northern university here for over twenty years Without any help she has prepared and served meals for an average of forty a day, which means total of $40 meals a week.
 This work may be better understood when it is stated that she does all the work in the kitchen and dining room herself All the food is put on the ta- ble and the students help themselves" The rate of board is almost incon- ceivably low, averaging only $1,65 a week, or less than 10 cents a meal Even at this she makes money and serves wholesome meals.
 President Taft, who will deliver the graduating address to this years class, will be invited to eat one of Mrs. Estill's meals.

Taft Has Made Good

Praise for the administration" the dispatches tell us, was one of the "keynotes' at the republican state convention of Wisconsin. And why not? To be sure, the regulars" hay ing gained control of the convention. denunciation of the insurgents was to be expected; but it would have been strange. indeed, if either faction of the Wisconsin republicans had failed in expression of loyalty to the admin istration.
 The splendid record made by Pres ident Taft deserves the praise of every citizen who calls himself re- publican.

A NEW WEDDING CAKE SUPERSTITION.

The debutante of the season will have no difficulty in getting together the coveted six boxes of wedding cake, which means that the seventh will be her own, for the list of bridesto-be is long and wedding receptions are in plenty, accordingly.

Each one must be tied to its predeces- sors in order of date, and each one must be legitimately given to the own CT as an invited guest-nO cards trans ferable. so to speak.

Straw and Straw Hats Mixed With
Very Pretty Effect.


II dare you to-" Is fairly shouted
at menfolks from the display window
of Macken & Smith this week. The
dare is given by a select lot of dash
ing straw hats on a background of
their material makeup in its native
state. IL Is a really truly "straw
window" Looks like part of the
stack we used to slide down. And
then as a contrast, significant of the
perfection to which manufacture and
the utility of raw material has been
carried by man, are the finished hats
all sizes, shapes and styles, tempting
the well-dressed man to look cool and
summery. Brilliant streaks OF color
are added by the bands. neat silken
affairs rivaling the rainbows. There
is black for the conservative, dark
blue to match the new summer serge,
bright reds and greens for the board
walk" boys and the combined colors
of all the principal universities for the
''rah, rah" chaps. ax

and unique and is q triumph in VIM
