and confidentially that as looked at
these entertainments we're throwing
up, said to myself that while they
might temporarily prevent the fall of
Charleston, nevertheless their ulti-
mate purpose, I'm afraid, will be as
relics, to be visited here by many
persons, who will be told that these
are all that are left near Charleston of
the visible efforts to establish a con-
federate government. And the Wis
itors will say, Mr.. Trenholm, that
these are reminders of the unsuccess-
full attempt of the men of the south
to establish by revolution new gov

Gen. Grant displayed that evening.
Then, for the first time. | understood
his campaign secrets when he was the
commanding general of the Union
armies.
Some months later congress passed
the so-called imitation bill, bowling to
what seemed to be an overwhelming
demand from all parts of the country
for irredeemable paper money Pres
ident Grant took his bill, studied 1t,
and then sent to congress his now ira
ditional veto, which stands as one OF
the two great measures identified with
his administration, the other being the
Geneva arbitration. That veto is a
model of reasoning. 1t struck the
first blow in favor of sound currency
system; 1t was the beginning Of the
end of Greenbackism.
"One day, years later, in the course
of a chat with Gen. Grant, said to
him:
General, it has always interested
me, where you, who never protested
to know much about financial matters,
got the data on which you based your
veto of the imitation bill"

ages and trips of discovery in Harlem

There is one little fellow, however,

found better than the old. He has
settled down among the old maple
trees and the old-fashioned front gar

Sickness of Two congressman Was
All That Kept "HorizontaI Bill"
Morrison's Estimate from Be-
ing Absolutely Accurate.

The late William R. Morrison of I'LL
nois, who died not long ago and who
gained national distinction as the au-
thor of the so-called horizontal or
Morrison, tariff bill, was one of the
most astute, skillful and successful
political strategists that ever sat i'll
the lower house of congress. 1t was
he, more than any other man, who
brought about the election Of John G.
Carlisle as speaker in 1888, when the
then comparatively unknown law
maker from the coal regions Of Ken
lucky had as his opponent for the
great honor Samuel ]. Randall, whose
prestige as a Democratic leader was
national, and who was little short of
an idol to large section of his party.
Mr.. Morrison managed Mr. Car
isles canvass for the speakership.
During the exciting days that the Car
Isle and Randall forces were lining
up, | was in almost daily communica-
ton with Mr.. Morrison and came to
get fairly good knowledge of his po-
litical adroitness. But nothing that
he did during the course of the can
vass impressed me so forcibly as what
| believe to be hitherto unpublished
incident that occurred on the night OF
the caucus for the speakership.
That night, Mr. Carlisle with few
friends, was seated in one of the COM
mittee rooms on the main floor of the
house of representatives, a little
back of the speakers entrance to
that house He was silent, not ap-
pearing to heed the chatter of his
friends, nor to pay the slightest at
tention to the messages which were
brought to the room telling of the
progress of the caucus.

the 157 largest cities of the United

between Washburn and a point near
Cornucopia, Bayfield, county. The
line along the south shore of Lake Su-

collector of animals, gives some in.

great pieces out of their own bodies.
So quickly and so Unexpectedly did
this happen that there was no time
to do anything to save them, and in
each case the wounds inflicted were
so shocking that the animals soon ex.

they could reach, and as result SO
much blood was lost that they both

TO GROW HAIR ON
A BALD HEAD
By a Specialist.

Thousands of people suffer from
badness and falling hair, who hav-
ing tried nearly every advertised
hair tonic and hair grower without
results, have resigned themselves to
badness and it's attendant discom-
forts. Yet their case is not hopeless;
the following simple home prescrip-
tion has made their hair grow after
years of badness, ana is also un-
ecualled for restoring gray hair to
its original color, stopping hair from
falling out, and for destroying the
dandruff germ. 1t will not make the
hair greasy, and can be put up by
any chemist: Bay Rum o ounces,
Lavona de Composee' ounces, Men
thol CRYSTALS 1-2 drachm If you wish
It perfumed add half TO one tea
spoonful of To-Kalon Perfume, which
unites perfectly with the other in
gradients. This preparation is highly
recommended by physicians and spe-
cialsts, and Is absolutely harmless,
as il contains none of the poisonous
wood alcohol so frequently found
in hair tonics. Do not apply to face
or where hair is not desired.

Every one conversant with the
happening of the amusement world
is aware of the wonderful success
which has crowned the triumphal
tour of the Sells-Floto circus this
season. While the circus proper
has been enlarged and comes back
to us more magnificent than ever
before, thep rice of admission has
been cut in half. 4 great circus
war is raging beween certain com
bined circuses on one side and
the Independent Sells-Floto people
on the other. The latter are carry
ing the battle to their opponents
and the people are benefiting there
by. That the move has been a pop
ular one is attested to by the fact
that in every big city visited this
season the management were unable
to provide room for their patrons.
