Senator Hoar says that the statement" in some of the papers within the last few days that General and Senator Sher-. man are descendants of Capt. John Sherman, of Waterton, Mass, is a mis- take. They are descended from the Hon. Samuel Sherman, who came to Watertown about 1630, and went away soon to Connecticut, where their branch of the family has always dwelt till Judge Sherman, father of the General and the Senator, emigrated to Ohio. Samuel Sherman was” the brother of the Rev. John Sherman, the minister in Watertown, and a cousin of John Sher: man, an] early steward of Harvard COL legs and an eminent. civil engineer. Capt. John accompanied Winthrop and Dudley on the expedition to fix the northern boundary of Massachusetts, when the well known inscription was made oil the rock at Weir’s Landing, on Lake Winnepiseogee. Capt. Sherman had a very large numé ber of well-known descendants, includ- ing Roger Sherman, and his grandchil- dren, Senator Roger S. Baldwin, of Connecticut, Senator Evarts, of New York, Judge and Senator Hoar, Chaun- cey M. Depew, Roger Minot Sherman. perhaps the ablest lawyer Connecticut ever contained; Chief Justice Roger M. Greene,of Washington. and his brother, the present postmaster of Worcester; ‘Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, of Connecti- cut, and a good many other well-known persons. Of the same stock came Earl Roseberry, the present Prime Minister of England, and the Marquis of Clan- ricarde. . Women as Political Delegates. Colorado Republicans elected three women as delegates to the Republican League Convention at Cleveland, Ohio. There were also women delegates from Wyoming and other Western States and one from New York. In the West the women have shown themselves good politicians, wise legislators and good debaters. It is something of a novelty to have them as delegates to a national political convention, but Mrs. J. Ellen Foster has been an influential adviser at every League convention that has been held, and the ladies who Went as dele- gates to Cleveland had an able and adroit politician of their own sex to advise them. ‘ All Weathers Suited Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson stoutly pooh-pobhed the notion of the effect of weather on the mind. . “To temperance,” he wrote, “every day is bright; and every hour is propio tions to diligence.” Johnson, however, was little given to analyze the influences of nature, or any other influences, upon himself. And it may well be that this disposition on his part was in the spirit of the Stoics and in defiance of his own feelings, to which he disdained to give way. It seemed to him a sorry thing that"‘a. being endowed with reason” should “resign his powers to the influences of the air and live in dependence on the weather and the wind.”—Temple Bar. The Cheapening of Magazines. When Scribner’s Magazine was start- ed, the price of 25 cents, at which it was oflered, was considered very cheap in comparison with that charged by the older monthlies. Then the proprietor of the Cosmopolitan reduced his periodical to 12 1-2 cents, subsequently raising it to 15, and Mr. Munsey, who had tried nearly everything in the way of daily, weekly and monthly publications, came down to 10 cents, and soon acquired a very large circulation. It is announced new that both the Cosmopolitan and McClure’s will be reduced to 10 cents and a sharp competition may be looked for. This wholesale cutting in prices is rendered possible by the fact that the price of paper is to-day less than one- half what it was fifteen years ago, while the old fashioned and expensive wood engravings have been replaced by the cheaper, if less artistic, photo-engrav- ing cuts which are now in universal use. Keeping Everlastingly at It. Genius is really the power of making continuous eiforts. The line between failure and success is'so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it—so fine that we are often on the‘line and do not know it. How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more efiort, a little more patience, would have achieved success. As the tide goes clear out, so it comes clear in. In business, sometimes, prospects may seem darkest when really they are on the turn. A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat ex- cept from within, no really insurmount- able barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose—Electrical Ro- view. . Destitude Settlers in Oklahoma. The news that there is great want and suffering among the Oklahoma settlers is not surprising in view of the condi- tions that prevailed last year and the year before. These people entered the newly opened territory at precisely the worst point in the late financial depres. sion. They were of an improvident class, and had gone there in the expec‘ tation of making big fortunes with small outlay or exertion. The result is quite what might have been expected. If reports , are true, they have paid a sharper penalty than usually falls to tho lot of folly, and are in a genuinely pitia- ble condition. — St. Paul Pioneer Press.

IProfessional ethics are a quality much wanted among the members of the medical profession. It is con- sidered unprofessional to advertise —that is, to pay for an advertisement. It is also bad form to recognize any of the many proprietary medicines that are daily used as beneficial. In view of these two well authenticated pro- positions, the fact that Dr. Cyrus Ed- son, late of the Metropolitan health department, and a physician of na- tional repute, should sue his partners for a share of the profits in a. patent medicine, is highly amusing'to ordi- nary ailing mortals. As stated by Edson’s lawyers, Dr. Ullo, Dr. Edson, through motives of “professional delicacy,” did not care, to hold or figure openly in the scheme, so he agreed to surrender his 20 per cent. of stock for a one-tenth interest in the dividends of the company. He now contends that it is this interest out of which he has been defrauded by the conspiracy of the defendants. .Stil and Stemmler, who, he says, to further their conspiracy, have voted to themselves salaries of $3,000 and $2,000 a year respectively, and have tampered with the books and papers of‘i‘he corporation. _ The allegations in the complaint are made for the most part on information and belief, and it was shown that Dr. Still made an aflidavit on which the charges of Dr. Edson are based. This would place Still in the position of charging himself with being one of the persons to whom he furnishes the information, and utrtually accusing himself of a fraud. When Dr. Ullo was asked about this peculiar state of affairs he stated that there were other cases on record of persons “turning State’s evidence.” Dr. Pincoffs, representing the do fendant Stemmler, referred sarcasti- cally to Dr. Edson’s “profesional de- iicacy.”‘Justice, Pryor was plainei'. He said: ' “The whole amount of the matter is that Dr. Edson was willing to take his- profits from a quack medicine.” "Oh. no, your Honor,” cut in Dr. Piucoffs; “it is not a patent medi- cine; it is a very good thing.” “Well, at any rate,” said the Court, “he was willing to appear indifferent to the sale of the preparation, while he was really talking it up to the pro fession for his tenth interest?” A CLEVER SWIN DLE. An American Sharp Captures the English Word Guessers. For some time past the foiowing ad- vertisement has appeared in several London papers, chiefly in those of a religious character: “Desiring to better advertise the ‘Overland’ cycles, we will give away ten of our best 20 lb cycles free, one to each of ten persons sending in the most words made from the letters in the word ‘Overland.’ It costs you nothing to try. Send your list at once, enclosing stamp, to —— & 00., South John street, Liverpool.” The local police had their atten- tion drawn to the matter, and the de- tectives, suspecting that something was wrong, arrested the receiver of the communications, who proved to be Montgomery. The prisoner’s office in Liverpool was found to be merely a receptacle for letters. Five thous- and five hundred letters, most of which contained stamps, that had been received from all parts of the country, were seized. Many of the letters came from clergymen. Mont- gomery, after getting thousands of postage stamps, sent to each corres- pondent the following: Liverpool. Being employed in the of- (giving the name in the Dear Sir: fice of advertisement), I have succeeded in. making a copy of their own complete list of all the words to be made from “Overlanc.” You lacked many of the words. As I am unable to use it my- self on account of my employment here, I will mail you the list on re- ceipt of thirty shillings. You can thereby make certain of one of. the prize cycles. Yours in confidence. The English police say that had they not arrested Montgomery so soon he would, by means of this circula1‘,’have 'obtaincd hundreds of pounds within a few days. The prisoner said that he came from the United States and that he lived in Indianapolis. In his possession was found a circular of- fering pianos free, one to each of twenty person's sending in the largest lists of words made from the letters forming the- two words, “Carleton piano.” The circular purported to be issued by the Carleton Piano Company of. 77 Fifth avenue, New York city. “AS LONG AS Ai-FLOUR BARREL.” A Test of thel'Old’Sayin'g Concerning the Length. of a}: Horse’s Head. It is probable thatatfirst thought most persons would be inclined to doubt the accuracy of the old saying that a horse’s head is ‘as long as a flour barrel. Flour barrels vary somewhat in length. Some are made stouter and stronger, some" slender and a little higher. An average flour barrel is about twenty-nine inches in height. ’ A man to whom the old saying was familiar made up his mind the other day to see for himself just how near right it was, and be measured the heads of three horses. One 9f these horses was said to have rather a large head for its size; it wasn’t a very big horse. The horse’s head, exclusive of the ears, measured 28 inches. in length. The heads of the two other horses, which were horses of fair aver- age size, with average heads; meas- used, one, 27 inches, the other 871/2 inches. So that this investigator £187 covered that the old saying was sub- stantially true. , - ,.r.—.

CHICAGO,_Oct. 6.—_On and after Nov. 1 the Chicago Trade and Labor assembly will cease to exist. A resolution to that effect was,adopted without opposition. The resolution providing for the surrender . of the charter was introduced by Delegate Pomeroy, who presented a letter from President Samuel Gompers of the Ameri- . I: can Federation of Labor recommending that such action be taken. This letter is addressed to the individual labor unions “No one can view the present situation in the labor movemeutof Chicago without a feeling akin to humiliation. Perhaps in few places in the United, States are the workers better organized in their respec- tive trades unions. Yet in consequence of the divisions in the general movement the interests of all labor suffer. Every effort has been made to unite the central bodies" .1) upon a basis fair to each, but without sue? OBSS. “Recognizing how important is unity. in the labor movement, we now appeal to the labor unions direct for the purpose of securing from you an expression of opin- ion whether you are in favor of the forma- tion of one central body to take the place of the two new existing in the city of Chicago. Recognizing how futile any at- tempt would be to bring about unity at once, we desire to say that if the responses to this circular are favorable a meeting will be called for Nov. 9. 1896, announce ing the time and place of meeting." Delegate Pomeroy’s resolution was to the effect, that the recommendations in President Gompers’ letter be complied with and Nov. 1 be set as the day on which the assembly would turn over its charter, records, etc, to a representative of the American Federation, and thereby end its existence as a corporate body. The resolution also contained a clause pledging the delegates to the assembly to use their best' efi‘orts as individuals to further the plan for a new organization, as proposed in the letter of Mr. Gompers, irrespective of the attitude of the labor congress. Pomeroy’s resolution after some discus- sion was adopted. ' To Pace In Two Minutes.
