r SNOWED UNDER AT THE POLLS.
the Fir" Telegraph um».
Dr. Gatling, the gun man, is a. rela-
tive of Gen. Lew Wallace, and tells the
following story about the latter’s father:
“David Wallace was a member of
'to give him $40,000 for the purpose of
Baltimore to Washington. Wallace was
a. member of the committee to which
the bill providing for the appropria-
tion was referred, and it happened,
when the matter came up for consid—
eration, that he was absent. The. vbte
in committee was a tie, and so Wal-
lace was sent for. He voted to-give the
inventor the $40,000, and accordingly
the bill went through.
“This happened along toward the end
of Wallace’s term, and when he went
home to strive for re-election he found
that the news concerning his action on
the Morse telegraph appropriation bill
had preceded him. A man named Wm.
Brown, who afterward became promi—
nent in Congress, had been nominated
by the democrats and he was conduct—
ing a vigorous campaign.
“In those days joint stumping tours
were customary, and the two candi—
dates went from place to place through
the district, asking for the votes of the
people. Brown’s platform consisted of
only one plank: That was the crimi-
nal record of his apponent.
“He would get up before a. crowd of
voters and ask them if they had heard
how Wallace had voted to give $40,000
of the public’s money to a man who
proposed to transmit messages by
means of a. wire between Baltimore and
W'ashington. The ridiculousness of
such a thing was so apparent that Wal-
lace’s action could not be considered as
a mere mistake. It was clearly an
outrage upon the people—a deliberate
swindle.
“ ‘You may not believe,’ Brown was
in the habit of concluding, ‘that any
man with a. spark of common sense
would vote away the public funds for
the furtherance of such a. chimerical
scheme, but the gentleman is here be-
fore you. Ask him if I have told the
truth or not, and let him explain his
action if he can.’ ,
"Wallace, of course, admited that he
had voted away the money, and -he
tried to explain what Morse intended
to do, butit was all in vain. His con-
stituents made up their minds that he
was either a. fool or something worse,
and he was, therefore, snowed under
at the polls.
“It is gratifying to know that Wal-
lace lived to see the telegraph estab-
lished as an important factor in civ-
ilization, but I suppose there are peo-
pe in that district who still think he
was a fool and that he deserved de-
feat.”—Cleveland Leader.
Warned Gould of the Cost.
Paul Gore, now clerk at the Audi-
torium Annex, was room clerk at the
Grand Pacific for several years. He
tells a. story in, connection with Jay
Gouldfs' first visit to Chicago. Mr.
Gould had registered at the Grand Pa-
cific, and was standing in the lobby
with his hands in his coat pockets,
looking like a, countryman in town.
The little millionaire approached J.
P. Vidal, who was clerk at the house,
and modestly asked him what would
be the best way for him to go to Lin-
coln Park. Vidal, not knowing who
Gould was, gave him the necessary in-
struction as to street cars, etc. Gould
heard him through and then said: “But
could I not go in a carriage?”
“Yes, you can; but it is a little ex-
pensive,” said Vidal.
“Vv’ell, as this is my first visit, I
think I will try to stand the expense.”
“All right, but to whom shall I
charge the carriage?” asked the clerk.
“To Jay Gould,” came the quiet an—
swer. Vidal almost fell to the floor,
but Gould got the carriage—Chicago

NO Sin to Kill a Tax-Gatherer.
In the new volume called “Social
wlours With Celebrities,” by the late
Mrs. W. Pitt Byrne, republished in
England, is a stony told by Cardinal
VViseman, who had a great fund of
Irish anecdotes. A rough Irish lad en
tered the confessional of a priest an:
hinted at sanguineary revelations
“What, murder is it ye mane?” “In
dade, an’ it is, father, and a many 0
them. What, father, now, if it mighz
be a matter of six or eight?” He re
counted 3. grewsome list. “I don’
think there were any more,” he said
doubtfully as he closed. “Now, what
were all these people?" sternly demand
ed the confessor. “Vi/1e11, father, they
were jist tax-githerers.’ “Tax-gither-
ers is it, ye say?” exclaimed the priest;
“now why didn’t ye tell that at first?
There was no need taking up me time;
ye don’t Come here to gossip; y'e come
here to confess yer sins.”
How Australia Regards America.
The mode of sending the message of
condolence to the President of “the
United States regarding the Maine dis-
aster was discussed by the Australian
Premiers now in- Melbourne before it
was despatched. One or two of the
Prime Ministers held that it should be
sent through one of the Governors and
the Secretary for the Colonies, but Mr.
Reid brushed such arguments aside.
The people of the United States, he
contended, were not “foreigners” in the
sense that those of France or Russia
were, but our ki-th and kin; so he de-
cided to send the message direct to
President McKinley—Melbourne Her-

A new use has been found for the
sunflower. The sticky substance which
exudes from it has beén made into a
covering for bicycle tires. The homely
sunflower is rapidly coming to the
front as a. useful article. Its seeds

is equal to the best linseed oil, and its
stalks are a %etter heat-producing

The best way t3 clean painted walls
is to use a large soft sponge. Those
known as “coachmen’s sponges” can
be had at a very low price. They
should be wrung out of warm water in
which a little soda has been dissolved,
and the walls wiped downward, going
over a. small space at a time, before it
is wiped dry again with clean house-
cloths. Care should be taken to change
the water often, as wiping a wall with
dirty water leaves streaks.

with chopped celery. The mayflnnaise

made with cream rather than oil, al-
though a very little oil may be used to
start the egg in its creaming process.
A few salted nuts—almonds, peanuts,
or walnuts—sprinkled over the top add
an excellent flavor to the salad.

A woman who has taken an old-
fashioned farm-house for the summer
finds some of its wall decorations in-
tolerable. 'To relieve their hideous—
‘ness through her occupancy of the
place, and yet save the expense of per-
manent redecoration, she has provided
herself with large rolls of cheese
cloth, and has filled the first days oi
her stay in her summer home by cov-
ering the walls from ceiling to base-
board with this material laid on in
pleats.
There are seen again at the Sta-
tionery counters various vagaries of
the paper-makers’ art, which shop-
keepers at least are trying to make
fashionable. A brilliant red of the
conspicuous shade known as cerise and
the popular burnt orange are two col-
ors, a deep shadevof brown being
another manifestation in writing-pa-

these bizarre novelties, it is still the
