Mot a "ftnrlrtj Woman" A Utile Woman, Mot lleantlfnl, With Klmpla Tastes anil Absentia of All Anetation -Something of Rer Life Story. Benjamin Harrison Blnrla liis presi dential boom with wedding bells. And now every woman in (he land is reading np the book of Dimniick. la she pretty 1 Does flie know liow to dress? Is she learned? Is she in Bcs-iety? Is it a love match? Wonld she prove a worthy snccessor of Mrs. Clevohind? Thpse and a thousand other questions lire agitating the bosoms of Columbia's daughters. Mrs. Dinimick has walked fn the blaze of While llonso social functions )u i the past and retniued )- r mental equi- I poise. She, impresses one ns able to do it ngniu successfully, even if called upon to be lending lady. ' Tlio axiom that little men Incline nntnrnlly to tnll women Is shattered in the prrscnt instance. Mr. Harrison has i been like the lovelorn swaiu who sang: I will nut dream of her tall and stately. Kho that 1 love may bo fairy light, Mrs. Dinimick Is petite. She confers npou lipr future husband the dignity of great stature when tbpy wnlk togellipr. She must look np to him, as every good : citizetipss should do to a former presi dent mid n possible future chief excun- , tivo of the nation. Mrs. Dinimick is not "in society." : She does not shako your hand with nil altitudinons twist in greeting. She has never been more accessible than since Iict engagement was announced, but she i will not bo interviewed. Kvery honest American most like lier ' from the first, because she possesses a qualification so dear to tlio averngo American heart a total freedom from alTcctutioii. She is not drenming nbont being "the first lady iu the land." That is n sub ject yun must not broach to lier, unless you desire to forfeit lier good opinion. Sho speaks calmly and frankly of bet I apptoacWuK marriage, bnt smilingly re fuses to tnko you into her confidence as to tho time nnd place of its celebration, i The dominant feeling iu approaching a fiancee of tho mccci-sor of Washing- i ton is one (if diffidence, not unmixed , with iiwo. You can hear your heart thump ns yon distinguish her footfall on ! the stair. I Mrs. Dinimick, however, puts yon immediately at ease. Hers is tho gra eionsiiess of tho woman who lias mas tered the art of hoiiieiniiking. She is very plainly dressed in a black silk gown that lias n service, nnd wears no jewelry sine a pin nt the throat mid & few rings, one of them a sulilaiio diamond. Slio has evidently been busy on some housewifely duty, for she has not even waited to smooth a rebellious luck or two of hair that have strayed from their fastening. Mrs. Dinimick is not a beautiful woman iu the ordinary sense. She has neither niifuthomable eyes, faultless features nor a ravishing complexion. It is not the senses she takes by storm, bat the heart. Her face is fairly yonfhfnl, with the ebullience of good feeling. The eyes dance with enjoyment ns she talks, and the lips smile frequently and almost girlishly. Yon can see she enjoys the situation. To become the wife of Ben jamin Hurrisou insures a past ns well as a future, bhe is woman enough to raise her hand to her hair once or twice, j so that you may see her engagement ring. And yon like, lier the better for it. Her eyes have prevailing tints of ba wl, and every schoolgirl knows that inch eyes mean steudfustuess and truth. The face is a littlo careworn, but yon remember that its owuor has been tried iu the battle of life. The forehead is low, broad and nuwriiiklcd, and crowned with nn ample coronet of soft brown hair; the nose straight and dolicate; the lips, a trifle too thin, perhaps, bnt firm and contented iu expression. As yon absorb these characteristics, yon begin to understand what Mr. Har rison meant when he said tliut Mary Dimniick was the only woman in the White House who knew enough to be sileut when he wanted to be qniet and think. Socrates wonld have given np his fumiliar spirit fur such a woman as this. Mrs. Dimniick was married to Walter E. Dinimick, ohlout sou of Samuel 11 Dimniick, who was Pennsylvania's at torney gcucral nudor Governor Hart ruuft 14 years ago. He died three mouths after their marriage. Mrs. Dimmick's father was Ruseoll F. Lord, who was general manager and chief engineer of the Delaware and Hudson Canal company. He married Elizabeth Scott, who was a sister of the wife of Benjamin Hurrisou. After the death of ber husband Mrs. Dimmick went to live in Auuapolis with her mother and her sister, who was the wife of Lionteuaut Parker. Mrs. Difi niick has always made her home with ber sister, Mrs. Parker, with the excep tion of one year, which she spent iu Washington with her aunt, Mrs. Harri son. Mrs. Dimmick received the finish ing touches to her educatiuu at the Kl niira college, where she remained for two years. She was married to Walter E. Dimmick at Albany. New York Heruld.

Soma Interesting Inrldenta In tha t.lfa of Colonel IHtn EJimont. This is a story that may possibly in terest the boys of the country. All American boys aie wide awake and qnick to learn. It is a a atnry concern ing a little incident iu the life of the Hon. Daniel Scol t Lamoiit, now secre tary of war. Mr. Lamoiit wns a psir boy iu Cortland county. He subsequent ly became a clerk in a sti department at Albany. When (4rover Cleveland of Buffalo was elected governor of the state, in 18H3, he was nntried in all matters pertaining to stale legislation, and when he arrived at Albany he had not selected his private secretary. Mr. Lamoiit was at that time a newspaper correspondent on the Albany Argus, of which the chief owner then wns the late Daniel Manning. Mr. Manning said to Govcruor Cleveland : "You haven't any private secretary?" "No," replied Cleveland, "and I want ona " "Well," replied Mr. Manning, "I have n young mau here who will help yon until yon can select a private secre tary. " It was at flint timo flint the secretary of war was first brought into close coin ninnlciition with Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Lamoiit did not think that he was to re main ns the private secretary of the gov ernor, bnt he remnined three or fonr weeks, and then Mr. Cleveland said he could not get along without him. Mr, Lamoiit from hiscradle had bepu taught that he must do everything well. His parents taught him that he must not slur tho smallest task iu life. He must, they said, pay as mnch attention to the little things as to Hie big things, rnil Mr. Lnuiont never forgot this training. Tho time ran along, and Mr. Cleve land was elected president. Just before his inauguration he made that famous remark that Colonel Dun must go with him to Washington. This governor of tlio state and this first Democratic pres idcut since President Buchanan's time relied on the painstaking, careful, stu dions wayH of Colonel Dnu. For four years Mr. Lamoiit wns the president's private secretary, nnd then he retutuod with bun to New York and was Hull rect ly connected with him for four years nioie. When Mr. Clevohind went to Washington again iu 18112, he took Dun iel Luuiout with him us secretary of war, If the American boys will visit the war department, they will find Mr. La moiit there from early until late. He is blue eyed, with an auburn bristling mustache. His ways are just as kindly as when he wus a newspaper writer. A correspondent had a pleasant talk with Secretary Lumout a few days ago iu Washington, uud he studied the sec retary of war in tho interest of the Aimricau boy. The secretury was told by the correspondent that his own little sop hud a telegraph wire leading into a neighbor's house, und this mere state' ment aroused an interest in the secte ' tnry of war. "That is a good thing," said the sec rotary. "I remeniLr iu my early life that I wns a telegraph operator. If you once thoroughly learn telegraphy, you I will never forgot. It remains with you as long as you live. I have not had oc casiou to use telegraphy for a number of years, but all the boys of this country, if they have time, ought to learn it. Several yours ago, after my father's death, I wanted to bring my mother to Washington. I was iu MuUrawville, my home town iu Curtluud county, and it was necessary for me to take a number of railroads in order to reach the main line by which I could take my mother to Washington. It was nooessury to change curs a number of times ou these local roads, uud in one or two instances the traius were lute, and I feared that I conld not got to the muin line iu time to reach Washington. "At lust it becunie positively known to me that mi less I conld muke a cer tuiu connection my mother would he compelled to remain over Sunday in a small and cheerless town. I knew president of a railroad who, if he wore informed of my predicament, I believed would help me out. Ho I telegraphed to him, telling bim thut my trains were lute, and asked him if lie would not wire to the superintendent of the place wbete I was apparently destined to be kept overnight und direct that the train ou the main road be held for me until my local train arrived. Before I got to tho local station where the main line train was to be met I bad to change cars. It was a dreary little station, and I remember well the anxiety that I had when sitting in the waiting room with my mother, not knowing whether my dispatch had been received, when beard clicking over the wire in that lit tie station uu inquiry from the superin teudent of the road, 'Is Colonul Lumout there?' The telegraph operator looked around the room to see only two per' sous, my mother and myself, there be fore he began to reply 'Na' "Just as be sent that word I stepped np, aud I suid : 'My frit nd, I have nnin tentionally overheard the inquiry going over your line uu to whether Colonel La mout was here. That is my name. ' The telegraph operator quickly corrected his 'No,' informed the superintendent that I wus there, and the word came back that the maiu line train wonld be held for me. This is only a little incident in my life, but it demonstrates the val ne of telegraphy. My knowledge of teleg raphy gave me the opportunity to bene fit my mother. So that I say that all boys in our country, if they have the time, should learu telegraphy. Secretary Lumout now has fine horses and oarT.ages. As secretary of war be is a high government officer and is the guest at all of the state dinners at Wash ington. It may not be uninteresting to add that Secretury Lumout never drank a drop of intoxicating liquor in his life, aud be does not know how to smoke. He has succeeded because he has been painstaking and shrewd. New York bun. This Would Pleaaa ItunkUv.

HOW THE VALUABLE PIECES OF PA PER ARE MADE. Tha New lasna Will fie a tlopllrate of ttia Issna of I.at TearA Real Artist aa la signer Varlnna fttepa la tho Proeeuea of Turning Them lint. The way In which United States bonds are designed, engraved nnd mndn ready to bn tnrned over to (ho investor in retnrn for his gold coin or its equiva lent Is one of the most interesting parts of the workings of the treasury depart ment branch of thonational government. The coming bond issnewill not be what is technically known as a now issne, bnt will be a duplication of the issue of Fobrnnry, 181)5. The designer of the plntea is a well known New York artist who enjoys high reputation as a magazine and book illus trator. This is Mr. Will II. Low, and for the past year he lias been the star man of the corps of artists attached to the treasi'ry department. In nddition to the wr,rk of drafting tho design for the bonds lie has designed several schemes for currency. After the aunnnupement of a bond is- sno the secretary calls in thochief of the depart ment of engraving and printing and tells him the denominations to lie issued. These may be in coupon bonds of fSO, lino, inoo and 1,000. The same denominations may be issned iu registered bonds, with tho addition of others of a higher face value. The ad diti il ones are for to, 000, tlO.OOO, a0,000 and $.-.0,000. The issnes of the two latter denominations have been very small. After the chiof bns received his In structions he turns the matter over to the artist, who at once designs tho plate. It is an erroneous impression that for every issne a new series of plates is en graved. The artist may use nny one of a number of vignette likenesses of his toric Americans, and he mortises it into the drawing. When completed, it, is submitted to the chief for his approval nnd then to tho teeretnry of tlio treasury. If the de sign is all right, it is tamed over to the engravers. This usually requires from a month to six weeks. Tlio engraving is done on a thin sheet of soft steel of a thickness of an eighth of an inch. By n secret process the metal is hardened when finished, aud a proof is taken, which is submit ted to the chief of the bureau. This proof then must be approved. Theplitte thou goes to the printer and the work of turning off the bonds be gins. The bonds nre printed on the sumo kind of paper ns that nsed for currency nnd each impression is carefully watch ed. If any imperfection renders a copy worthless, it is destroyed by the officials, after being returned from the press rooms. Bnt for each sheet of bond paper takeu out there ninst be returned n simi lar number of copies, cither perfect or otherwise. After the work of printing is done the securities nro counted and checked off and are then madn ready for delivery to the purchaser. When their final destination is determined npon, au employee of the department, accompa nied by nn escort, takes charge of the bonds and delivers them to the pur chasers. In the lust issue Mr. Logan Carlisle, son of the secretary, had charge of the deliverance of the securities. The difference between the two classes of bonds coupon and registered is great. The former are like currency, payable to the bearer, and no record of their transfer iseverninde. Tho interest coupons may be collected by any one who presents them at a national bank or subtreasnry. The registered bonds are safer in case of a burglury, as they are absolutely nonuegotinble except by the signature of the holder as evidenced by the books of tho treasury department at Washing ton. When registered bonds are sold, the name of the purchaser is placed in a book kept for the purpose. There are no interest coupons attached, bnt each quar ter a check is mailed from Washington for the accumulated interest, which is payable at any subtreasnry. Should the holder desire to sell his registered bonds, the transfer must take place before some official of the treasury dopartnient or an officer of a national bank. The fuct of the sale is then for warded to Washington and the necessary alterations made in tho registered bond book. Although the face design of a govern ment bond is less intricate and puzzling than the designs nsed on currency, ef forts to counterfeit them have been rare. The noted forger, Brockway, was the author of the last bogus government bond issne that was detected. It was a dnplication of a coupon bond of the is sue of 1861, the first of the war loans, which matured in 1881. Thedeuomiua tiou was $1 ,000. The work was poorly executed, and its worthlessuess was coon detected. It was for this that Brockway served bis longest term in the peniten tiary. New York World. Thoroughly rarUlan.

The Centnry Magazine, in a forth coming editorial article entitled "The Anachronism of War," will say of the present sitnat ion that reliance must be liud npon the two great lawmaking and law loving peoples of the world to pluck the flower safely ont of this nettle dan ger. It says : "The immediate rtnly before the con servative forces of England and America is to organize for the establishment of a high class continuous board of inter national arbitration. In this matter the lend may well be taken by the repre sentatives of that religion which is 'first pure, then peaceable. 1 With tho aid of the great edncatiotial iustilnlions and of the vast commercial interosHnf tho two lands, and in Hie present r.ivivcd atten tion to the pnbjpct, it nnght to be an easy matter to get parliament's consent to the opinion already formally express ed by (he emigres of the United States in fuvor of the principle of arbitration. What is needed is a permanent system, in place of the piecemeal and haphazard examples to which we nre acenstomed, admirable ns their results have already proved. Once established between Eng land and America, such a system wonld gradually spread among the nations of Europe, i, nd more rapidly because of the gentrul conviction that another con iiiienl.il war should show a climax of horrors. Sooner or later arbitration would be followed by disarmament, which is the logical sequence of no olhcr premise, ami yet will be the turn ing point of the continent toward trne democracy and progress. "However ueur or far the ultimate acceptance of tho iden, it would, as be tween us and our English cousins, tnko t besting out of the viper of war, to which, ike the husbandman in Hie fable, nations too carelessly give warmth and nourish' ment on the hearthstone. In the knowl edge that disputes would be automat ically settled by an impartial tribunal it would no longer bn possible to play a boisterous tune upon a people by pulling out tho slop of 'patriotism.' Aud it is not too much to hope that in the spread of this idea the whole earth wonld at lenst realize the great laureate's noble vision of, 'The parliament of man, tho federation of the world. ' Herein lies great opportunity for the English speaking race. It is a mission to kindle be imagination a id tho heart. IS INGERSOLL CONVERTED? Kalatnasoo Christiana Helluva That He 1 Turning. Colonel Robert (1. Ingersoll, in his lecture on "Lincoln" at Kalamazoo, Mich., the other night, stopped right in the middle of his discourse and told his undience that he desired to relate some incidents of the afternoon. Then he spoke of his visit to the People's church uud said : 'It is tho grandest thing in yonr state, if not in the whole United Statee. If there were a similar church near my home, I wonld join it if its members wonld permit me. " Nothing iu the lecture caused such a stir as this, and wheu some of Colonel Ingersoll 's friends escorted bim to the hotel they asked him if he was in ear nest about the statement, and he is said to have replied thut he was very mnch in earnest, aud if opportunity ever was given him of joining such a church he would seize, it qnick ly. It now seems that when the colonel arrived iu Kalamazoo he was taken to visit the People's church, of which Miss Caroline J. Bartlett is the pastor. This church was built through the lib erality of Hi las Hubbard, who be queathed it a large sum of money. It is institutional in its plan and is built more like a homo than an ordinary church. It lias reception rooms for so cial gatherings, libraries, rooms for Rtudy, a dining room and a kitchen. It is undenominational aud bus no creed whatever. Colonel Ingersoll was con ducted through the various depiirtments aud wus more than pleased while at the church, but nobody supposed that he would mention it in his lecture. The mombers of the church are en thnsiustic aud say they believe that hrough the People's church of Kalama zoo the great agnostic will be led to joining thechnrcb. They see in his words an answer to the thousands of prayers sent np by the Christian Endeavorers all over the country. Tbey say that while no organized effort has been made to get Colonel Ingersoll to join the church such effort will be made in the near future. They profess to believe that the great disciple of agnosticism will deliver no more agnoslio lectures. New York Una. A VALUABLE GOOSE. Bought For ai.BO aod Contained BlOO IMamond.
