H M M M A QUICK CHANGE, |t *atv*d th* Captain From th* F u r y .f “ Fuss and Feather*/’ General Wtailekl £vatt was- ono of the most rigid'martinets that eve;*held ix command in the United States ar- jay, I’arly ’in ids emcei* he won til# japroo « f "Fnaa and Feathera.* and it etaelc to him to the end. He had a terrific temper, and when in one of Ills tempestuous, moods every one shrank from before him, His 'suggestions were not strictly followed at the battle of Bull Bun. When news of the disaster reached Washington his rage was -fearful. He strode up and down his office, swing­ ing his arms and shrieking like a wild man. In the midst of the outbreak Captain 0„ 'an Irishman and. one of his aids, entered the room and saluted, •'The compliments of Prisident Lin­ coln, and he asks”— . The massive lunatic, his face aflame, wheeled about, "Out of my presence! You are a traitor like the rest of theiuj Leave at once!" The dazed captain retreated in con­ fusion, A few hours later the general •‘ what !’* th W dkbed the general . .sent for him. In fear and trembling, the Irishman presented, himself. "Captain &, I wish to apologize for my rudeness a short while- ago,*' said -the aged general in liis most pompous r manner- His words were so unex­ pected that the captain was rattled. "It -was a piece of domined rude­ ness’*— "What!” thundered the general, starting to rise from his chair. The ' captain’s Irish wit flashed to ills aid. "On my part to come ipto your pris- ence without your permission.” The cyclone was soothed, but when Captain C.' passed ontside lie scratched his red head and muttered: “ I'd rather the old- man would cuss me for two weeks than use tin sec­ onds In apologizing. It wouldn’t bo half so’ trying.’ ’—Los Angeles Times. : ‘ Asking Too Much. In Scotland once a drunken man met a clergyman chasing his runaway dog un Siihday. "Tammas,” said the breath­ less clergyman, "I am sorry to see you In this condition, but whistle for my dog. He Is running away,” Tnmnias regarded the speaker with gravity and Bald: "Whustle? I may drink wh'isky, but I'll no whus*’e for pay dog on the Lord's day.” 'Fooled the Butcher. The ijutcher smiled as the young womam trimly clad and /smiling, to herself, crossed the street and ap­ proached the shop. "A bride,”■he said, "I bet she'll make some fool break,” “Give mo a porterhouse steak, thick, as close as you can come to two pounds/’ she said. “No, not that one, nor that I think I’ll have to aslt you to bring out a new quarter., No, I don’t want, two pounds and' three- quarters. It' will be just right if you cut out that large bone. That will do, thank you. This dime is smooth. I gave you perfectly good money and ' you may give xne good money in change. That’s bettor,''-’ thank you. Will you open the door, please?” And when the butcher recovered he said to himself, “Well, I supposfe.lt does a man good to get what’s colfiftig to him once, la awhile.’’—Buffalo Ex- press. ’ A Change of Opinion, Some years ago a noted warrior of the Potawatarale tribe presented him­ self to the Indian ageni nt Chicago as one of the chief men of his village, ob­ serving with the customary simplicity of the Indian that he wrts it very good man and a good American and con­ cluding with a request for a dram of whisky, ' The agent replied that It was not bis practice to give whisky to good men, that good tnen never asked for whisky and never drank It when it was offered to them and. that it Was bad Indians only who demanded whisky. "Then,” said the Indian, "me — > rascal,”—"Modem Eloquence,” Eager to Please, One of the smaller hotels In Market street serves rileals very cheaply. They have a table d'hote there for 30 cents, and, as might bo imagined, tlm viands are not the host. The proprietor is a jolly good U 'b-w and is a noted humor­ ist. This Ueci s him from being an- ttSyed by the frequent kicks made to him by liis touchy patrons. The other day a most fastidious gentleman com­ plained, - “What do you gall thatS” ho asked of the hotel man/ "Butter, siri What else?” retorted the honlface, > "Why, I’d sooner eat axle grease than that butter,” snapped the patron, ‘"John,"-called the hotel r- an to oho o f the waiters, “ rut; out to the kitchen find get the gentleman some of that axle grease We u::e on the elevator.”-* t’liiliuleiphia Times, I SHARPPOLITICS | I ISATTEMPTED. | * - <* C'lhir'.tuiS. O. — (Special.) — The “ At’n-r.Kfwan • i’ rogte.-Mve'* move­ ment for the selection of delegates to the state constitutional convention started o'i well in this city. The-at­ tendance. of representative citizens was large, and the general spirit matt- it. sted was encouraging to those, sin* ‘i rjrly desirous'of men being chosen for delegates who are hroad-guago and not merely repositories of quo Hea alone. Developments and time will show whether this spirit will control the drafting of tlm platform and the selection of delegates. , It Jr, well known that there was ft wid- -.-pread suspicion that the movo­ ir,e was started by the Hev, Herbert S. Bigf. Ic;w of Clucldnati, as a shrewd device of the “ Progressive Constitu­ tion League,'’ to secure tha election of three inch from Franklin county, whoso quo overwhelming object would he to secure the insertion in the con­ stitution of a radical and practically unrestricted and indiscriminate initia­ tive and rel'erendtim provision, It can not he denied Uut there was a strong, ami growing feeling in Franklin coun­ ty that a piece of "sharp” politics had been played, and that an attempt was being made to commit different or- gauiz itiona — particularly religious and commercial—to propositions .as to the state constitution which (to say the least) they did not fully compre­ hend. Many representatives of organ­ izations- attended the .conference on the general understanding that it was a “town meeting’’ .of citizens to start a movement on a non-partisan basis to secure the election of three thor­ oughly qualified men as ,delegates to the constitutional convention, but-sev- eral speakers bluntly declared that the real object was to see that only avowed and out-and-out advocates of the initiative and referendum' were elected'to,’ the convention, and It was declared -that nobody who differed ■from this- program had a right to be present at the conference, It is but fair to say, however, ‘ that this exclu­ sive and narrpw-minderl view was not the prevailing one. It is equally prop- ,er to say; also,.that it is yet to be seen how far the extreme view will control 'the outcome of the .movement. It appeal's that within 48 hours the plans of the originators of the move­ ment were considerably modified. If: there had been any intention of se­ lecting three ounchdates “right away/' on a. straight-out platform of the wid­ est and most unrestricted initiative j and referendum,principles for eugraft- ment in. the' constitution—and there was some fear that this whs the orig­ inal plan—-it was abandoned. Mr. Big-How's speech was able, adroit , and conciliatory, and .was doubtless intended to remove tile sus­ picions which he frankly confessed existed; and yet >ho undoubtedly in­ tended to leave the impression that the chief object-—if not the only ob­ ject—of the movement was to secure the election of delegates committed—* above everything'o’sc—-to the initia­ tive and referendum, Against “Group” Scheme. Taken ns a whole, tlm speeches -were most excellent in tope; but un- misi.tkable- evidence was -manifested of serious diireronces on fundament­ als. For instance: Jn Halting the chair, the Hev. Dr. Gladden emphatic­ ally - and , unequivocally 'declared against selecting three men as sim­ ply representatives of three special mimesis or classes; and yet the ten­ tative plan of organization which wnS presented provided, that the . body should be divided-into-.three “groups" for the selection of candidates—a la­ bor “ group,” a granger -'‘group/’ and ft' third “group” composed of those Elements of onr citizenship not in­ cluded in the first two “groups,” The differences of opinion as to this proposal -was. very marked, on the’ ope hand it was urged—find this was the attitude of Dr. Gladden in his opening speech—that the three candi­ dates -should be selected independent of -their calling or their class interest, the.one controlling consideration be­ ing as to their qualifications. On the other hand it was claimed that unless the workingmen find the' farmers in­ sisted on representatives of- their class being included among the dele­ gation- to the constitutional conven­ tion, there was danger Of their Inter­ ests being overlooked. This sharp difference of point of view* took ex­ pression In the discussion of a clause in the tentative plan of organization in wlrich it was provided that each of the three “ groups” proposed should select its own candidate for delegate to the constitutional convention., It was pointed out that under such an arrangement any one, and. indeed, each of, the three "groups” might se­ lect .a candidate who would not be ' satisfactory to the two other t "groups,” and it was argued that no i man should be selected who was not ' tlm choice of the organization as a whole: and it was suggested in amendment that each "group” should present a name or names for delegate, put that the final choice should be left , to the entire representatives as a body. So radical were the differ­ ences Upon this point that a settle­ ment was postponed for a week. "I. & R.” D iscussed. * As might have been expected, there were giave disagreements indicated as to the initiative and referendum, and it is impossible to say with im- partiality which particular view pro- vailed, it is certain, however, that practically all of the originators of the movement are out-and-out sun* pnteist of a radical initiative and ref­ erendum provisions in the constitu- Hon; and it. is altogether likely that had they been able to have done *o they would have at onro declared tint an iron clad endorsement of the wid­ est application of these principles on the part of candidates' would be an absolute condition of support.* and indeed, that this would have been the main, if not practically the sole test of course honesty and respectability and average ability being conceded Tills Is tha position of the great ina-' jority of the labor representatives. The farmers are much divided ou this proposition; and there cah be little question that among the third "group” —representing all outside the other two “groups”—there is a majority sentiment either in actual opposition .to an inclusion of the Initiative find referendum in the constitution, or'in­ sistent upon very great caution in the matter, and holding fast to the neces­ sity of safeguarding the application of the initiative Wlnl referendum so that the danger of mob-rule and hastv and urtconsidercd legislation should be minimized. - 'Ihe entire proceedings were a most creditable manifestation of active, in. telUgcnt interest in the stupendous problem of giving to Oldo a new con- stitufh n, which will be truly nrogres- t:ive and at the same time will 'not bo burdened with Impracticable "isms/’ W e confederate soldier . An Incident That Markad H i* Spirit and Independent*. In his "Glimpses of the Confederate: Army” in the American Review of Re­ views Randolph H. McKlrn writes; "It seems to mo as I look back that one o f the things winch stood out Btrungiy Su the Confederate army was the independence nnd the initiative of tho individual soldier. It would have been a better nniiy in the field if it had been welded together- by a stricter flis- Utrilinp, but this defect was largely atoned for by the strong individuality of the units in the column. It was not easy to demoralize n body composed of men who thought and acted In a spirit of independence in battle, "As an illustration of the spirit of the private soldier I recall an incident to this effect; Major General Gordon had organized a strong column to make a night attack on Grant’s lines at Pe­ tersburg. When he was ready to move nnd the order to advance was given a Big Texan stepped out of tho ranks and said: ” ‘General Gordon, this column can't move" before 1 a. m. The men have a truce with the Yanks, and it ain’t up till 1 o’clock/ “The column did npt move till that hour. The private in tho rftnks had taken command, and the major general recognized Ills authority.” PONGEES HARD TO MATCH,. S. ‘.'V.i , ,. . < ■ Because Each Piece Is Made From One Lot of Raw Silk, Pongee silk is the undyed silk of silkworms fed ofi the leaves of scrub oak chiefly, -though other trees are used in some portions of the pongee district. The silk is produces! .almost exclusively In Plumlung province aud portions "of. north China immediately adjacent," The veal pongee cloth, made of this’ nneoloral specially produced silk, is distinct from the pongees of com­ merce made in all colors from other silk. Each piece of cloth is made from n particular lot .of silk, and'' therefore each piece varies from all olhcr nieces in exact quality, weight and fineness and .in n slight degree In color and other qualities. There are certain general (grades of clothe-certain varieties of weave, cer­ tain popular weights.'etc., but women .shopping in Chinese pongees find it very dlflicu.lt to match pieces, and on the face of things it is practically im­ possible to furnish any great .number of pieces of n certain weight, .grade and qualify- such us n modern clothing manufacturing establishment would require to starfiTardizo a certain-line of garments from that particular cloth.— New.York Sun,' Located Mis Station. There was an absentminded bishop in western Ontario, who wqs constant­ ly finding himself in awkward, situa­ tions, on account of ‘lifs extreme nb-. straction. On a certain occasion ho Was traveling from London In » north­ erly direction and. found When the conductor approached him that be had forgotten where he was to' go. The conductor suggested that he telegraph from the next station and find out bis destination. It was before the days of long distance telephones, and the bishop telegraphed to his wife from the first station, “Where was I go­ ing?" to be answered at the following station. The answer came, “Bxetct; be aureate get off there.” The bishop then beamed nt the anxious conductor nnd remarked' placidly: “These little .difficulties always turn out,satisfac­ torily/'—Argonaut. • - German Pedigre* Book. There is in Germany what is known as the “German Pedigree Book," or "Deutsches , Gcschlechterbtlch.” The purpose of the pedigree book, accord­ ing to a Berlin correspondent, is to record tho ancestry not of nobles, but of bourgeois persons who can prove that they are o f genuine middle class or-working clnss ancestry and have no noble blood in their veins. The editor explains in his preface that, while many German nobles "out of court nnd material considerations have not kept their blood pure, there are many good business class families which have managed to do so.” By thus encouraging the proper pride Of such families the pedigree book is do­ ing much to eradicate the traditional envy of the nobles. It Depend* on the Dog. Two Broadway business men met before a bar. They were good friends.
