BRAVERT ON THE BATTLEFIELD Which Wen For Him Medal of Ecnor From a Grateful Government His Sue- ' cessf ul Efforts in the Senate in Behalf of Protection to American Industries in Gen eral and His Watchful Care of the Indus tries of Prooylania in Particular. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia. Kept- 26. The United" States senatorshio having become a leading issue in the present campaign. Senator Quay's re-election being in volved, our readers will doubtless be Interested in a recital of some of the noteworthy events in the unique career of Pennsylvania's senior sena tor, beside whom, up to the present time, no aspirant for the senalorship has yet en tered the contest. This is a plain sketch of a man a man of the people. For fulsome flat tery of the subject the reader must look elsewhere; for virulent vitupera tion he Is referred to the iwregrinating libeler so couspicuouusy abroad in the kind just now. alatthew Stanley Quay, the son of a resbyterian elergynian, was born ?ept. SO. 1831 He has. therefore, reach ed the ripe age of 65 years. 43 of which have been spent before the public. Like an open book is his life. He has held various offices he does not deny that. Not a few of them have been elective offices, where the people have had a chance to vote for or against him. He has never been defeated. Nearly every tiflice held by him he hast resigned, in almost every instance to step up higher, ljr a vote of the people or as the choice of tbeir representatives. If it is a Fin to be chosen to public office by the voters themselves, or those represent ing them, then ts Senator Quay a griev ous sinner. Those who denounce the holding of f!ie as a crime must le eainlM, for In almost every case they are men w ho have be-u beaten for -jfllee whenever they have presented themselves, which usually has been retty often. Many of the ieripatetic orators now at large in the stale, de nouncing ofiiceholding as a sin, and Senator Quay as a sinner for having held ollice, belong to the class Indicated above. A BRAVE SOLDIER. Before becoming conspicuous la civil life Senator Quay attained distinction in military circles. When less than 0 years of ace he commanded the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers. After the battle of Antietam he become prostrat ed and enfeebled by typhoid fever, the dread disease which, during our re ent war w ith Spain, has carried to the sjrave so many gallant American he roes. On account of physical disability he resigned, and bis resignation was accepted. This was immediately be fore the battle of Fredericksburg, Dec. 13. 1M2. When It became known that the battle was to take place he asked to be restared to command, in spite of the fact that he was yet weak from his severe illness. But it was too late: he was out of the service. Then he ap plied to General Tyler, who commanded his brigade, for a place as volunteer aid on his staff. The surgton objected most vociferously. "If Colonel Quay goes into battle." was the surgeon's decree, "he will die as a fool dies." "I would rather di? li!:e a fool than live like a coward," was the response cf Colonel Quay. He went upon the staff. That battle was among the bloodiest of the whole var. For his valor the l"nit"d States government awarded him a medal of honor, a tribute accorded to only a handful of the hundreds of thousands of gallant men who wore the blue. Gen eral Tyler, the brigade commander. In his report of the battle, said: "Colo nel 1L S. Quay, of the One- Hundred and Thirty-fourth, was upon my staff as volunteer aide-de-camp, and to him I am greatly indebted. Notwithstand ing his enfeebled health, he was in the saddle early and late, ever prompt and efficient, end especially so during the engagement." Surely tt was not a sin to have held that office! DID THET WEAR THE CLUE? By the way. how many of hu detrac tors, now traversing the stale, de nouncing Senator Quay. wer them selves wearers of the blue? Sure!y not one. In these days, w hiie we honor the heroes of Manila and Santiago, do not let us forget those other hirces w ho. In lo61-5, by' their Intrepidity and sacri fices, re-established the reat nation and made It possible to win the mag nificent battles of ISSg. Subsequently he held the Import am t office of secretary of the common wealth, serving under those other two heroes of the civil war. Governors Hartranft and Hoyt. Finally. In lsi. he concluded to run for state treasurer, an elective office. He passed through an exciting campaign, in which vll.'flca tion was the only weapon of his ene mies, end was triumphantly elected. Vrom this office he passed. n i,y resignation, to that still hi Id by him United States senator. AN INSULT TO THE PEOPLE. In electing him to the above, and ether offices held by him, have the peo ple always been wrong, as Senator Quay's malign ers would nave the pub lic believe? Such a theory Is an insult to the Intelligence of the people them wives. Shortly after Senator Quay entered the senate be was made chairman of the Republican national committee, and In that ca;aciiy he condiK'le4 tha STATESMAN My husband bought three boxes of the pills. wc began giving josae one-third of a pill three tiroes a day.

"I have no doubt that Dr. williams Pink Pills lor Pale People saved him from an early grave." Mrs. "Williams made affidavit to the truth of her statement before David Crisp, a Notary Public - Dr. A.

Jones, who made aiiidavit before No tary George Rtrpp, that the child had been ia the condition described by "in. "Wil liams, as the result of catarrhal pnecinonia. The action of Dr. XTilliams' Pick Pills for Pale People on the blood and cervout system, in eliminating poisons and furnish ing materials for new fesues, makes them a sure remedy for wasting diseases and the lor.g train of evils arising from disordered blood and nerves. All druggists ten the pills j one box for 50 cents; six boxes for JjiSO. great campaign of 1SSS. which elected General Benjamin Harrison president of the United States. Who does not j recall that memorable political bat- tie? Surely the public do remember it. j though Senator Quay's detractors i would le mightily pleased if people 'i would only forget this period In Ameri can history. Grover Cleveland had served as president for four years, having been leclared elected in 1WS4 over that prince tf statesmen, James G. Blaine, by the rote of New Tork. though it was gen i rally believed, and now generally con ceded, that Mr. Blaine bad carried New Tork. but had been counted out in that state, and therefore cheated out of the presidency. Upon the day the great campaign of 18SS opened Chair man Quay registered a vow that there should -be no cheating that time, and that in the event of General Harrison's election he should be president. This is what he said: "This is a Republican slate. Blaine was elected. I do not propose that the Democrats shall steal New Tork from Harrison.- The false registration must be stopped. The recount and the change of votes from Harrison to Cleveland must be prevented at all hazards. This must and shall be an honest election." THE HISTORIC CAMPAIGN OF 18S8. And what a magnificent campaign it was, and how adroitly . managed! In spite of the fact that the whole United States government, with its hundreds of thousands of officeholders; was In the hands of the Democrats, and Tam many Hall was then in the xenith of its power, Harrison was electsd, hav ing carried Ne"v York, though bv a small majority. But the contest did not en4 with the close of the polls in New York. The Tammany machine, finding itself beaten, endeavored to re peat the work of 1S count out the Republican candid.- te. and throughout that memorable night and until even ing of the following day desperate tactics were resorted to in the effort to count Cleveland in. But Chairman Quay was ready for them, having pre pared for just such an emergency. The great conspiracy of the Tammanyites was foiled, and General Harrison was duly declared elected president of the United States. There was no man in America more lauded then than Sena tor Quay. By universal accord he was declared the most masterful leader known to American politics. His suc cessor as chairman. General J. S. Clarkson, said of him: "He is the greatest political general that the first century of partisan poli tics has developed. The Republican party will never knaw. and it could never repay It4f If did know, the ser vices rendered to U in such a time of doubt and peril by Senator Quay." A MAGNIFICENT TRIBUTE. . When he resigned the national chair, manship, a couple of years after the election, the committee paid him a glorious tribute, saying, among other things: "In submitting to it (his resignation, with so much of reluctance and per sonal regret, we desire to express from our own knowledge of the facts of bis pre-eminent service to the party, our sense of the deep obligation under which he has placed the Republican party and the cause of good govern ment and patriotism In the United States. He undertook the leadership of a doubtful contest at a time when the Republican party was disheartened and the Democratic party confident in the power of supreme control In the government of the nation, and when the odds of the contest were against our party, and by his matchless power, his unequalcd skill in resources, and his genius to command victory, won for his party an unprecedented victory In the face of expected defeat. In the great contest of ISMf. in the months of severe effort then, and In the years of personal association with him since, we ha ve learned to know the nobility of the man, and we desire in this con spicuous manner to place on public record, for the present and for the fu ture, as an enduring answer to the par tisan assaults of the defeated enemy, our testimony In appreciation of his public services end his personal worth." How different this from ihe vilifica tion and abuse now heaped upon him by the Irresponsible band of guerillas now trampicg up and down the state, who, though claiming to ".e Republi cans, have made an alliance with that Iemocracy which Senator Quay drove out of power la 1SSS! MONEY IN POLITICS. In the campaign of 18SS a consider able rum cf money was spent by the Republican national committee, as there always is In presidential elec tions; something over 11.000.000 it was in that contest. The amount named, for purposes of organisation and educa tion, passed through the hands of Chairman Quay, of the Rational com mittee. This rum was raised by sub-committee, known as the advisory committee, of which John V ana maker was chairman. And now the Hon. John Wanamaker is traversing the state, denouncing Senator Quay for tha "use of money In politics." Is it a sin' ful act to "use" money la politics, and a saintly actio raise that self gam money? What a beautiful distinction this Is! Surely. "Consistency, thou art a jewel!" For his share In the memorable cam paign of IssS Mr. Quay was maligned by every Democratic newspaper In America, and In due time the jackals and coyotes of his own party, jealous of his position and influence, took up the cry, and they are still at his heels. HOW BASE IS INGRATITUDE! For his share h the 1SS8 cimpaign Mr. Wanamaker af.n made postmaster gen- ral. as a personal concession to Sen ator Quay and his colleagues of the rational committee, who presented only' this one request to the president-eiect, ' And Mr. Wanamaker had no sooner taken his seat at the cabinet table than he began to establish his own machine in Pennsylvania, antagonistic to the plana and purposes of him by whom he was called from the seclusion of mer chandizing to public life. j And still moralists write of gratitude and poets sing of It! What of Senator Quay's services In the senate? No Pennsylvanian who has occupied a seat In that distinguished tody has ever done so much for his native state as Senator Quay. j He Is not a handsome man. He would not take first prise at a beauty show. One of his eyes is a lltt'e too much out of plumb for that. Nor would he wake the echoes If called upon to address an julirr ia fu.i?3 -. Uum i Ketna, or tn Waa.aon Bsuar. Garden cf Nw T vk city. It Is p.xiabie h w ould not be a success as an itinerant stumper, striding up and down the state, heap ing abuse upon his enemies. No; ' ha hasn't the voice or the lung power for that. Like the ereatest Democratic Statesman of the Kst half of the Nine teenth century, Samuel J. Tilden. Sen ator Quay's voice is soft and reaches scarcely above a whisper: consequent ly he has rarely occupied the floor of the senate during the 11 year he has been there. MEN WHO TALK AND MEN WHO ACT. The fact is. the "gic at orator" period In American legislation has pawted away, never to return, it Is to be hoped. The talking men In the present senate are thow? who have the least influence. No one ever listens to them any more. The writer of this homely sketch was an officer of the United States senate for several years. During this period he listened to one speech only the brilitatit philippic delivered by Presl ant Pro Tem Ingalis when he left the preside nt 'a chair to excoriate Senator Voorhees, of Indiana. Upon every other occasion the writer of this sketch Im mediately left the senate chamber whenever a senator arose to make a set speech, and pretty much everyone lxe did the tame thing, including the speaker's colleagues. While the "orator" was talking to empty benches the silent, working sen ator was busy in the committee room or cloak room, planning, scheming and arguing with bis fellow members to secure legislation for the benefit of bis constituents. In this latter phase of legislation, the all Important one at the close of the Nineteenth century. Sen ator Quay was an adept. No one will ever know the full measure of his ex traordinary services in behi If of the In dustries of Pennsylvania. Surely these things have not so soon passed out of the minds of the people of Pennsylva nia. The roving band of verbose "ora tors" now at large in the common wealth, endeavoring to poison the mind of the people, would fcp leased to have them forget these things. A MEMORABLE ACHIEVEMENT. His first memorable achievement was in securing the passage, in 1890, of the McKinley tariff bill. It had been hung up In the senate all summer, the Dem ocratic opposition preventing Its com ing to a vote. Only a politician like Senator Quay could have effected the arrangement whereby action was ex pedited and an early vote taken, when, of course, the bill passed. This meas ure was of Inestimable advantage to the immense and diversified interests of Pennsylvania. - ; HIS SKILL AND ADROITNESS. This is what the Bulletin of th. Amer ican iron and Steel Association, one of the most conspicuous trades organs In the United States, said In reference to Senator Quay's connection with the McKlnle.y bill: "Both In the senate and In the com mittee of conference Senator Quay's assistance was Invaluable In securing the adoption of the rates of duty wbkl) were embraced in the McKinley bill as It passed the house. His effort to se cure the retention of the original Mc Kialey rates were In the main success ful. But this was not the only service Senator Quay rendered to the Indus tries of his state and the country In connection with the McKinley tariff, bill. The bill was Jeopardized in the senate by the federal elections bill of that year, the so-called "force bill,' which Republican senators were de termined to pass, and which Demo cratic senators, w ho were In the minor ity, were determined to defeat by ob structive tactics, or. In other words, by talking the bill to death. If this scheme of the Democrats had been carried out, they would not only have succeeded In defeating the 'force bill.' but they would also have prevented the passage of the McKinley tariff bill through the senate, as the time consumed in kill ing the 'force hi 1' would have pre vented the consideration of the Mc Kinley bill. Senator Quay had the skill and adroitness to rescue the Mc Kinley bill from this serious dilemma by securing the adoption of an order of business which gave it the right of way over the 'force bill.' Thencefor ward the McKinley till had plain sail ing in the senate." It was chiefly the passage of this measure that gave us our magnificent president, w hose name It bore, and who was the original author of it. Again, In 18S4. when the Democratic Wilson tariff bill was before congress. Senator Quay displayed his great gen eralship In legislation, and his devotion to the cause of protection as understood and practiced in Pennsylvania. Upon this occasion he found voice enough to talk. Indeed, he threatened to talk the Wilson bill to death unless the in terests of Pennsylvania received betr treatment In the measure: and In fur therance of this threat he delivered his famous obstructive speech, occupying 1? days in April. May and June, with the rromise of more .before the bill ehould come to a vote. He succeeded even beyond his expectations. This Is w hat The Manufacturer, another prom inent trades journal, had to say rela. tlve to Senator Quay's services at this time: DEFENDING PENNSYLVANIA'S IN TERESTS. "Whatever may be the faults or the' deficiencies of Senator Quay, the man ufacturers of Pennsylvania and the country will not soon forget beyond dispute that to his resolute and long continued exertions is due the fact that the Wilson tariff is not more unfriendly to domestic industry. Some of the most Important schedules, affecting freat Pennsylvania industries, were so modified under the compulsion of Sen ator Quay as to be deprived of their murderous qualities. The manufac turers and the workingmen in Pennsyl vania are better off to the extent of many millions of dollars because of his launruiness, ana cow, wnen he Is as sailed upon every side, it is but Just that an acknowledgment should be made of the value of his services and of the skill and fortitude shown by him In defending the principles of his partj and the welfare of his constituents. The contest for higher tariff protection is not yet ended. It will be renewed during Mr. Quay's term as senator, ar,4 his services will be again in demand for the defense of home industry from the assaults of foreign capital and European chean labor." Strange, isn't It. that the new allies of the Democracy, the so-called "It, "crmcrs," now roaming the state, make to mention of Mr. Quay's splendid ser vices In behalf of tariff legislation, so vitally important to every Pennsylva. nlan? How dlfferenj. their coarse words of malignant vilification and abuse from this splendid Mbute from one of the best known men In Penn sylvania. Mr. James M. Svank. editor of the Bulletin of the American Iron and Steel association: THE PEOPLE SHOULD 1JE GRATE FUL. "Kelley and Randall are dead, but Senator Quay, who so valiantly took up the battle for the industries of h.s native state when the strcrgth of they giants failed them, is still living, and as senator for four mora years he w-lll still have thes industries In Ms keep In g. It would seem that common, everyday gratitude should now It-ad th manufacturers of Pennry'.vanla to manfully stand by the man who has so faithfully stood by them." Senator Quay's senatorial labors Iq behalf of Pennsylvania's Interests bavs been noteworthy In other directions than that of tariff legislation, partlcu. larly in the matter of internal improve ments. He secured a federal appro priation of several mil ions of dollars, which rescued the Monongahela river from private control, whereby the vast Industries of Pittsburg and western Pennsylvania were riven a free and adequate outlet to the sea, through that, the Ohio and Mississippi rivem. Even greater benefits have accrued to the commerce of Philadelphia and east ern Pennsylvania by the gigantic eheme, for which he has secured con gressional and governmental approval, whereby, by the appropriation and ex penditure of many millions of dollars, the Delaware river will become navi gable to the largest rhlps that sail the seas, and the port of Philadelphia made as accessible as that of New York, resulting In the revival of the practically defunct commerce of the former city and adjacent territory. Aside from his efforts In the national senate in behalf of the material Inter Mts of Pennsylvania whereby Inesti mable benefits have come alike to the worklngman and to the employer the tax d vers of the common wenijoerotion i. . rta - - in U W7 ft stats ierfclattofc. fcrtn th rcl2Sta tt lftoliabi advantages a th ruit ot his interposition. QUAY AND STATR LEGISLATION, It was Senator Quay who wrote the plank In the stnte platform, several yc.rs ago, committing the Republican party to Urge stata appropriations to the several counties for school pur poses: and. as the result thercf. the sum of over $5,000,000 ts now bing dis tributed annually from the state treas ury, relieving from local taxation to that exteiit the Individual taxpayers. The people of tha state are not ilke.y to forget this In the neat future, nor will they fall t" give proper credit to Senator Quay for' devlsir.s suh a scheme ft legislation. It was Senator Quay also who wrote the plank In the ttate platform some years since "committing th party to legislation for the equalization vf tax ation, as desired by the farmers of the state and owners of land generally. And. following his party declaration, revenue legislation waa enacted large ly Increasing the tax rate upon coipor atkn property, money at Interest, etc., v hich. together with the lauj revenue from licences, provides not lily the millions appropriated for school pur poses, but. as well, for the rharitable institutions of the state, "vithout the slightest Increase of the burdens upon the masses. THE PEOPLE NOT BLIND. The people of the stat now these things, though Senator Quay's vlimer would fain have them forgotten. In the midst of the harrassing cares at Washington, endeavoring to secure such legislation, through congress, as would beet aid and protect the material interests of his constituents. Senator Quay has turned aside from hla en grossing duties at the national capi tal sufficiently to enable him lo give some attention to Important phases of state legislation at Hariisburg, em bracing the measures indicated above, as well as many others for the public welfare. Yet his official duties at Wash ington, which he has sworn to dis charge to the best of his ability, have made it possible for him to closely fol low the details of state legislation at Harrlsburg. For Instance, throughout the entire session of last year, covering nearly seven months, Senater" Quay was In Harrlsburg only a few hours. Yet the grand cavalcade of guerillas and scandal mongers now perambulat ing the state would. If they could, make the people believe that Senator Quay Is personally responsible for all the shortcomings and the long goings, the doing and undoings, of the famous legislature of 1897. Fortunately, the peo ple of Pennsylvania do their own think ing and their own acting. They are not to be misled by appeals to their preju dices or their passions, which are only effective when addressed to Ignorant men. This Is the Matthew Stanley Quay who entered politics In lSi5 and whose life has been an open book to the public ever since: the Matthew Stanley Quay who fought valiently for the honor ami perpetuity of his country during the civil war: the Matthew Stanley Quay Who defeated the Tammany conspirac y f 18S8 and elected Harrison president; the Matthew Staniey Quay who. upon every occasion since he has been In the senate, has given his best energles-fn behalf of the industries of his native ttate. Is there anything displeasing In this picture, based upon facts known to all men, and without the garniture of rhetoric? A VICTIM OF VINDICTIVE ABUSE. Yet no man known to" American poli tics, save only Alexander Hamilton, has been the recipient of so much and such vindictive abuse. The vials cf calumny, heaping to overflowing, have been poured upon him time after time, yet he has never been defeated. The plain people, who are not vtlifiers and raluminators themselves, have not be tieved the miserable stories told by his jealous enemies, and they have stood by him. In 1SS5, when a candidate for state treasurer: in 1S92. when a candl date for re-election to the United States senate, and again in 1S9S. when a candl date for chairman of the Republican state committee, he was vilified as no other man has ever been in Pennsyl vania. Yet he was always successful, simply because the plain people, whose personal ambitions did not clash with his, believed In him, recognized hU military, public and party services, and stood by him. ANOTHER -tATTLE 13 ON. Another battle Is on; Senator Quay is a candidate for re-election to the senate not from choice, but from ne cessity. When a man has reached his mature years not quite three score and ten, yet three score and five the holding of public office signifies title. He has grown gray In the service of Jys party and his state, and a rest from it all a rest from the harrassments and anxieties of political strife would be more welcome to him than further honors. If left alone, he would prob ably have retired voluntarily, for he has resigned from every other office he has held. Tut what manly, self respecting man what man who reads these simple words would retreat un? der fire; would do anything else ex? cept fight to a finish and overthrow and crush the pack of conspirators who have assailed him, and have sought to tarnish his good name as he approach es the later milestones of life? And that Is what they are endeavor? Ing to do, as they have done repeatedly heretofore, but with renewed vigor and violence now. Up and down the ata'e, from county seat to county seat, from village to village, these men are trav; eling today men jealous of his influ ence and of his achievements seeking to poison the public mind by their mis representations and falsehoods. AN ALLIANCE WITH DEMOCRATS. They have entered Into an unholy al liance with Democrats. Prohibitionists, Populists. Liberty It es and Socialists all the nondescript parties, and alleged parties, forsooth with a view to the defeat of Republican candidates for the legislature on the 8th of November next. and. as the hoped for result thereof, the prevention of Senator Quay's re-eiection to the United States senate when the legislature shall meet In January. But the Republican voters of Penn sylvan la can be trusted. The plain peo? pie have in past campaigns seen through the selfish purposes of Senator Quay's viilfiers. in spite of the quanta ties cf sawdust thrown Into their eyea. and they are as alert and wideawake now as they have always been. Again the plausible, oily tongued conspirators will be overthrown, their selfish schemes wDl come to naught, and. as the result of the election of Republican legislators in all Republican districts. Senator Quay will be returned to the senate In January next. Thus hypoc. risy will be rebuked, fair play wi'.l be vindicated, and the will of the ptopU, unmoved by slander or sophistry, will be exhibited In all its omnipotence. THE DUNKERS' LOVE FEAST.

V THE JACK POT TEST, HOW A MEAN GAMBLER SPRUNG ON SISTER ABIGAIL, IT Re Wanted another Proof of a Tweory Coaori-Biog a Womanly Wcmk-uas aad Got It at tbo CxpeoM of laola frtaa'a OppseeoU at Poker. Bent, lint tall, with sparse whiskers seldom trimmed, nearly 70 year old. Uuele Uriah , nied to sit in the poker game in Omaha, his long, thin fingers tremblingly placing his chips and his old eyes glittering as he timorously tkinncd his hand. Pathetically like Lit tle Nell s grandfather he looked mine. times, but be was at no desperate fcbift to obtain a stake, for be was the pos eesbor of a competence, and be brought into the game the raving grace of the parsimony to which be had been babit nated iu bis earlier days in a New Hampshire borne. He never bought more than $5 worth of chips at a time. These he would for the moi-t part ante away waiting for aces or ner'er, and when he finally did get a good laud a bare call represented the climax of hia enterprise. In those dayi there was always a game on Sunday afternoons, and Uncle Uriah, although a devout Methodist, could becouuted upon to arrive directly after service and to sit in nntil the time for afternoon Sunday school. Ths boys need to joke him at first aud ask him if be had sueaked his stake out of the con tribution box, bat to this question and to all others of similar levity be op posed a scared serioauess which showed that his passion for the game was more a weakness than a vice. Uncle Uriah lived with hta two sis ters Abigail; aged 63, and Ann, aged 55. Ia New Hampshire they bad been called "the girls," but in Omaha the irreverent, with rnde directness, referred to them as "Uncle Uriah's old maidd." It did not take the boys in the game long to discover that Uncle Uriah was in much fear of Abigail ia general and in mortal dread that she would discover hia besetting weakness. He would ai ways shy at a new player, and bo fre queutly held forth to the boys on the impropriety of talking, on the outside about the features of the game. "I sh'd hate to bev the parson know, " he nsod to say "1 wouldn't kecr so much 'bout Ann, 'cause she's easy skeered, but I wouldn't bev Sister Abi gail know fer the biggest jack pot t'was ever plaved on this here table! There was never any solution to the mystery of bow Sister Abigail discover ed the obliquity in Uncle Uriah's life. Some officious neighbor may have told ber, or in an excess of caution Uncle Uriah himself niuy hare aroused her definite suspicions. . At any rate, on a particular Sunday afternoon be arrived at the room at the regular time, but without the key with which be, in common with other participants in the game, had been provided. The negro at tendon t admitted him, and he was eoon engrossed in the play. There was a good jack pot on the ta Lie. Uncle Uriah was in and was deal ing. It was bis last say, aud the two men ahead of him had bet $10 each. He bed draw u rne card, and the play was up to him.

THREE QUHER CITIES. Each ! Is ruilt on Islands Connected by Many Brtdges, The city of Ghent in Lelgiom, is built ou 26 islands. These islands are connected with - each ether by 80 bridges. The city has 300 streets aud 30 public squares. It is noted fcr bt'ug the tirtbplace of Charles V and of JdIsu of Gaunt, whom Shakespeare called "time honored LaCcasttr," and as the scene cl the paciftcatiou of Ghent Nov. 8, 157C. end of several insurrections, sieges mid executions cf wc 11 known personages. It is associated with American history by the treaty made there Dec. 24, 1814, terminating the second war bctwei England and the United States, kuown as the war of 1 S 12. Amsterdam, in Holland, is Inilt on piles driven far below the water into the earth. Tho city is iutersected by many canals, which are tinned li nearly 300 Lridgcs, and resembles Ven ice in the n.ingling of land and water, though it is considerably larger than that city. Tho canals divide the city, which is about ten miles in circumfer ence, into U0 ulauds. The city of Venice is bnilt on 60 islets, whi'.h are connected by nearly 400 bridges. Canals serve f'r streets iu Venice, and bouts, called gondolas, for carriages. The bridges are, as rule, very steep, rising considerably in the middle, but have easy steps. The cir cumference of the city is about eight miles. Tho Venetians joined tho Lom bard League ugninst the German em peror, and, iu 1177, gained a great vic tory iu defeuw of Pope Alexander III, over the fleet of war vessels headed by Otto, son of Frederic Burbarossa. Iu gratitude for this victory tho pope gave the Doge Ziani a ring, and instituted the world famous ceremony of "Venice Marry iua tho Adriatic Sea." Iu this ceremony the doge, as the chief ruler of Venice nsed to be termed, with appro priate ceremonies dropped a ring iuto the Be every year in recognition of the wealth aud trade carried to Venice by the Adriatic.

Noleu, who is an old timer in the electrical construction bn.-inss, tells a story on "Val" Blatz. the railiouair; brewer cf Mil wankoe, "Our comiwuy bad had some corrw spoudcucc with Mr. Blatt regarding the putting iu of a telephone plant in bis big brewery establishment,, aud I was sent np to try to close a deal. "I took a couple of phones with me in order to make a practical demonstra tion should one be required, and I went with tho intention cf making a sale, "I got to talking with ilr. Blatz and showed him the advantage of potting in our intercommunicative system through out his establishment Ho listened at tentively, and finally said: " 'Yes, that is all so; very trne. But,' and he spoke with the conviction of one who was putting a poser, 'but my men down ia the maltjsouse and the warehouses and cold storage are all Dutchmen. " 'I, myself, though a German and a graduate cf Leipsic and Heidelberg, can speak English, but what would your telephones bo to my Dutch workmen, who cannot speak English at all?' "Weil, 1 saw how the land lay. Old Val could not get it through bis head that tbe telephone would transmit auy thiug but the language of America. I was bound to make the deal, as 1 said before. So I remarked to Mr. Blatz: " 'I can put on some German receiv ers if yoa so desire. I have some with me.' "I connected up the phones, made a show of changing the receivers, and iu half an hour Mr. Blatz was talking to one of bis Dutchmen down in the malt house. He was delighted. "'You may put them in, be said, 'and I shall want one "German one in the nialthousc. one German cue in each warehouse, English ones in my office and the busiuess office and a German one in the cold storage bouse. "We closed the deal and Mr. Elatz was glad to pay 3 extra for each Ger man eunnciator we put in. W hen the phones were shipped from the factory, I had them labeled German aud Euglish respectively, and the big brewer was perfectly satisfied. "It was five years before I saw Elatz again," concluded Mr. Nolen. "He rec ognized me at once and said with a hearty Germ.iu laugh: 'You are the ac commodating gentleman who put iu the German and English telephones fjrine. Well, yoa are a good one.' " Milwau kee Telephone, A -ro Turning White. A curiosity rarely witnessed iu thia country was seen at the olSeo of the pension examiners in this city today. It was a negro man turning white. Tbe man's uamo is Sam Smith. He is 67 years old aud came hern today from Georgetown to stand an examination for a pension, he having served in the Union army. More tliau three-fonrtbs of the man's entire body is white, tho skin fairer by far than that of the or dinary white man. The dark skin re maining ou tbe body is only in small spots Smith says that bis skin began tnrnibg white in 1867, and tbo dark skin has been disappearing from tbe body ever since. The physiciuus who examined him today think that should the old man live a few years longer be will be entirely white save perhaps the face. A peculiar feature of the case is that the face has uot been turning white along with the rest of the body, the white only showing at a few places be neath the hair on the forehead, and uf.t on the fare at all. Lexington (Ky.) Letter iu Cincinnati Enquirer. To Examine the Eye. If any thing gets into your eye, don't rub it. Good advice, but a little diffi cult to follow, for one instinctively rubs the eye under these circumstauces. Nevertheless, don't do so. Get some one to turn the r.ppcr eyelid gently over a thiu penholder, so that be may see the ball of tbe eye thoroughly. If lime gets into the eye and if yon see the substance at ence, wash out tho eye with vinegar to two parts of water. If, however, you don't see the particle immediately, sim ply puc sweet oil or olive oil into tho eye and send for the doctor. New York I uger. Dene) and Dyed.

A little while ago the principal of the school which Elsie and Lillian McCor mik attend had all the scholars assem ble in the biz room. "What for?" was the question on all "the scholars' lips, for it was quite un usual to assemble lu the big room. When they were all there, the prin cipal began: "How many -of you," she said. "would like to do something for tbe soldiers?" Up went every little band. "Very well," said the principal, smil ing. "I will tell yon how yon can do it. "A gentleman m Key West wrote note asking ns to bring something to put in a comfort bag. He also sent list of things which, if you wanted to, yon could bring. Here it is: One spool of coarse white or black cotton, one paper pins, one paper needles, one quire writing paper, one package stamped en velopes, one pencil with point protector and all tbe old linen yoa can get Woold you like to do this?' For a moment there w.as a confused clamor of little voices saying "Yes!" seeming as if each child was trying to speak louder than ber neighbor. How ever, there was instant silence when the principal opened her mouth to speak. "Very well, " she said. " nave your things here next Monday. Put them in a box and write on tbe lid, 'Contents ol comfort bag. That is all for today.' It need not be told that when Monday arrived there was a pile of boxes on the teacher's desk " iu which reposed tbe contents of a comfort bag. Each little girl had brought one. Baltimore Amer ican.

With tears and hearty hugs she bade every one of them adieu and locked them into a garret closet. At. first tho separation from ber adored playfellows was almost more than she could bear, and every day she would sit for an hour or two, sad and tearful, out side the closed door, sometimes whisper ing wurds of comfort through the key bole to the poor exiles, but she never broke ber vow to have done with dolls, and by and by they were forgotten. - A Little Patriot.
