JOHN BROWN’S FORT.

It May Be Torn Down and Turned Into
:1 Stable.

The famous John Brown fort at Har-
per’s Ferry, in which the most celebrat-
ed abolitionist of slavery days fought
and died, and whose memory is still
Warm in the hearts of thousands of col-
ored people of this country, is soon to
meet a fate that is unworthy of such an
interesting relic and memento in the
history of the United States.

The building in which it now stands
has been leased as a stable for delivery
wagons and horses, and in carrying out
the terms of the lease the famous old
fort is about to be moved in such a
manner that it will become a part of
the stable. It, however, may yet be
saved from an ignoble fate.

It will be remembered that the fort
was taken to Chicago by a syndicate,
who believed that it could be made a
great World’s fair attraction; but, like
many another “castle in the air, ” it
was a flat failure.

Mr. Hutchinson, the present owner, is
naturally patriotic and does not want
to see the old relic go to decay. He has
no use for the old structure, but he
would like to see it preserved. Al-
though plans have been made to convert
it into a stable, Mr. Hutchinson will
alter those plans if any park in Chicago
will accept and care for the relic.

This offer has been called to the at-
tention of prominent Grand Army men,
who are talking about the advisability
of circulating a petition among the vet-
erans of Chicago asking one of the park
boards to accept the relic. —Chicago
Tribune.

SUBTREASURY RECEIPTS.

Some Queer Things That Are Received
From Various Postofllces.

Several odd things are received at the
subtreasury.

Two cents were received in a letter
from Postmaster James A. Hill of Paris,
Ind., it being the amount of his receipts
for three months. Another letter con-
tained 8 cents, which was the quarterly
remittance of Postmaster R. N. Trickler
Of Comstock, 0.

Another peculiar thing received was
a box 18 inches square by a foot deep
marked merchandise from a bank at
Granville, 0. When Coin Teller Phil
Turpin removed the lid, he beheld a lot
of sawdust and exclaimed to the other
clerks, “Boys, here’s a lot of eggs sent
to the office as a present.”

They all crowded around, and Mr.
Turpin thrust his hand into the sawdust
cautiously to get an egg. but he was not
a little surprised when he brought up a
handful of pennies. Everybody was dis-
appointed, but they could not restrain
their laughter at how they had been
fooled. The box contained 56,800 pen-
nies. A note at the bottom asked to
have them exchanged for currency.—
Cincinnati Enquirer.

' Our New Navy.
~ The great battleship Indiana, which
has cost the government over $3,250,-
000, is nearly in trim to leave the ways,
but in all our navy yards and splendid
harbors there is no drydock that can
float the new vessel.

If anything should happen to the bot-
tom of the Indiana, it would be neces-
sary to take her elsewhere or else drop
anchor and allow the ship’s sides to
gather barnacles while the half com-
pleted docks at the Brooklyn navy yard,
at Port Royal and at Port Orchard are
being finished. .

The last named will probably be ready
for use within a year, and each of those
now in process of construction will be
able to float the Indiana or any one of
the monsters in the new fleet. —New
York Post.

An Elusive Prize.

A real estate dealer at Marinette,
Wis, has oifered 40 acres of land as a
prize for the state bicycle meet to be
held in August. A similar prize was
offered at a New Jersey meet two years
ago, and although the winner was given
the deed he is still looking for the land.
It forms part of the bottom of a lake.—
Wheel.

A Lie Out of the Whole Cloth.
The story of the Grand Rapids man

who lives quite content with his brains
blown out has excited enough comment

, to Show that interest in current fiction

is general—San Francisco Examiner.

A Princess by Birth.
Announcement is made that one of
Manhattan’s fair daughters is to be a
“princess.” She is that by birth, but
her marriage will make her a “sub-

ject. ”—New York Recorder.

Seems Reasonable.

Dr. Laine says that rocking chair ex-
ercise is good for dyspeptics, as the “os-
cillations stimulate gastro-intestinal
peristilism.” It looks reasonable any-
how. —Chicago Tribune.

Little; but, on, My!

Japan is a little country compared
with her unwieldy foe, yet Japan has a
population equal to that of the United
States when Grant was president. —New
York Telegram.

Always With Us.
With spring comes the advent of the
servant girl'question. The servant girl
question is always with us. The servant

girl is not. —New York Mail and Ex-

press.
Evidence of Anna Dickinson’s Sanity.
Up to date the insanity experts have

not succeeded in connecting Anna Dick-

inson with either the Napoleon revival
or the Trilby craze. —Washington Post.

 

Old Maids Versus Cat Shows.

A Delaware man wants to build a
home for old maids, but Milwaukee did
better than that in giving a cat and par-
rot show. —Chicago Post.

 

' She Can Be Accommodated.

If Guatemala is really hungry for
trouble, she can be accommodated by
any of her northern neighbors—Chica-
go Record.

BACK FROM THE. DEEP.

A Letter That Was on the Ill Fated Elbe
Recovered and Delivered.

A sad reminder of the foundering of
the ill fated steamship Elbe was con-
tained in a budget of mail from Europe
which arrived recently on the steamship
Havel. It is a letter which was in the
mail aboard the German steamship
when she went to the bottom and is one
of the very few pieces of mail matter
recovered from the steamship.

When the letter was brought to the
surface, it was a pulpy mass. The action
of the salt water had rendered the writ-
ten address almost indecipherable. It
was only with the aid of a magnifying

glass that the address was made out. .

The postage stamp had disappeared, and
the canceling marks were almost wash-
ed off.

By the use of recovering salts some of
the marks were brought out sufficiently
strong to admit of being traced, and the
letter as it now appears presents the
tracings as they were developed by some
skillful artist in the employ of the Ger-
man postofi‘ice department.

The letter was written by a young
woman who was to have sailed for
America on the ill fated vessel. Her
letter announced that she had postpon-
ed the voyage. —New York World.

FEDERATION LOOKED . FOR.

Central American Countries Will Probably
Hold 1} Convention to Effect It.

A convention some time this year of
the several countries of Central America
with a view to forming a confederation
or union similar to the United States is
regarded as a probability by Central
American diplomats. These diplomats
state that the subject is under discus-
sion in their countries, and that a time
and place for the convention probably
will be fixed before long. Two such
conventions have been held, one in Gua-
temala and the other in Costa Rica, but
they failed to effect definite results, al-
though showing a favorable feeling
among the influential classes toward
such a union. Recent events, particular-
ly the threatened war beween Mexico
and Guatemala, have more forcibly di-
rected the attention of the Central
American states to the desirability of a
federal nation, and Great Britain’s de-
mands on Nicaragua have tended in the
same direction. -—Washington Star.‘

H ERR MOST, ACTOR.

.30 Is 'to Appear In a New Play Entitled

“The Sicilian Girl.”

Anarchist John Most is stagestruck.
He is soon to appear again in a drama
with whiskers and a patent thriller.
John and his audience differ somewhat
in the “acts” they prefer him to do.
He dotes on his entrances R. U. E., but
they most admire his exits P. D. Q.

He is going to take the chief part in
a new play called ”The Sicilian Girl,”
by George Biedeenkapp, an anarchist
poet well known at all gatherings of
Most’s followers. The play is in five
acts, although the poet was prepared to
make it eight, if necessary, and shows
the extremes of modern social life in a
startling and dramatic manner. It is
founded on incidents in the Sicilian
agrarian revolt of 1894 and is full of
excitement, daggers and bad liquor.—
Chicago Times-Herald.

Oscar Wilde’s Disgrace.

Will Mr. Stead or Mr. Burns or some
other self appointed and self lauded crit-
ic please inform an anxious public
whether they saw anything in America
to compare with the Wilde-Queensberry
case?—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

In one of his books Oscar Wilde says
that “a man can’t be too careful in the
choice of his enemies. ” Oscar didn’t
think of this when he selected the Mar-
quis of Queensberry for one of his ene-
mies—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Oscar Wilde .may well wish himself
with his “hero, ” Dorian Grey, safe be-
tween the covers of a book. —Chicago
Times-Herald.

The secret of Oscar Wilde’s fondness
for the sunflower is coming out. ' He is
very yellow himself.—St. Louis Repub-
110.

Women Gold Hunters.

Three young women of Ellensburg,
Wash, left there lately to seek their
fortunes in the goldfields of Alaska.
Their outfit included, among other
things, ‘a small sailboat, in which they
will make the trip up the Yukon river
to Forty Mile creek, a distance of over
1, 700 miles. —Philadelphia Ledger.

 

Bad For Road Agents.

The only safe way to discourage the
footpad industry is that adopted by
Judge Wallace, in San Francisco, who
sentences every convicted highwayman
to not less than 20 years in prison. —
San Jose News.

A Businesser Revolution.
There are a vim and energy about the

Cuban uprising that have not been seen

since the days of Toussaint L’Ouver-
ture, the Haitian rebel against France.
—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

A Boon to Some Ladies.

A new telephone invention is said to
carry 2,000. words a minute over the
wire. This will be a godsend to ladies
of uncertain temper. e—New York Mail

A Southern Boom.

Every branch of the southern indus-
try is looking up, including even the
presidential boomeries. —WaShington

An Awful Suspicion.
A Cincinnati woman was found dead
before a mirror. She probably discover-
ed a gray ham—Chicago Post. "

Ifiiular Germ ents.
Whether you like them matters not,
There’re here, and here to stay,
And very much' in evidence ,
Each warm and pleasant day.
There’ll soon be hundreds on the street.
If .we may credit rumors;
’Tis nwdless to explain that we
Refer just now to bloomers.

DB. SHEPABB’S SANITAHIOM

Ofi‘ers exceptional advantages to the invalid
as well as to those who would keep in health.
That the turkish bath is one of the most pow-
erful remedies known to modern science.is ad-
mitted by many of the highest authorities in
England, Eurdpe and America. .

It's success in Rheumatism. and kindred
diseases, has been phenomenal. Malaria. or
any blood poison, quickly yields to its potent
influence. Neuralgia, or nerve pain, is imme-
diately relieved under the influence of Hot
Air in the Turkish bath.

As a Luxury. it surpasses all others, and as
9. Sanitary measure, a ‘Turkish bath ever
week is invaluable.

By consulting the resident physician, in-
stmction will be given to patients or bathers
enabling them to secure the greatest amount
of advantage possible from each Bath.

A skilled Masseuse and Electrician is in daily
attendance in the ladies’ department. and .
competent operators' in Massage will be sent
to residence on application.
