Central terminal in New York, at
ter a vacation with pay in the Berk-
shires. MI. Depew prophecies the de-
feat of Mr.. Wilson for reelection to
the Presidency.

anecdote in the career of Senator De-
pew. He was a guest at banquet IN
New York given in honor Of the re-
election of Grover Cleveland as Presi-
dent in 1892, and. as was his wont,
told a story when he was called to
his feet. He said minister in the
Cattskills was called upon to OH
ciate at the funeral of man who had
been a spiritualist. Before the SER
vices began the man Of the cloth
was told to exercise care in talking,
as the supposed corpse was not really
dead, but had merely become inani-
mate and would hear everything that
was said. During his remark on death
the minister. unfortunately, said
something contrary to the creed of
spiritualists, and had his attention
called to the fact; also that the dead
man had resented his filings. The
in reply said: "i've Off
ciated at many funerals in my time,
but this is the first time | was sassed
by the corpse" Depew turned his
head towards Mr.. Cleveland and said:

feated, but here | see the corpse

at me.

long enough, will see another "corse"

peaches shipped to the principal cities
