MEETING AT CHATTANOOGA 8TIRRING SCENES RECALLED BY MENTION OF HISTORIC HOMES AND BUILDINGS OF 1863. Houses In Which Generals Grant, Thomas, Rosecrans, Commanders, Held Gonferences During the Days of Carnage. Chattanooga, Tenn.—There are & number of buildings yet standing in Chattanooga that did service for the Unlon Army In 1863, the mention of which will doubtless recall stirring times to several thousand old soldlers who expect to attend the 47th annual encampment in this city in September. ‘Among these are houses that served as headquarters for famous generals, hos- pitals for wounded soldiers and ‘morgues for hundreds who were killed In battle. In turn buildings are also standing in which social functions 'were held before and during the war. ‘Some of these buildings are in good Tepalr, but many of them show the ravages of time and the elements. One of the oldest buildings, if it does mot rank first In peoint of age, in the Chattanooga vieinity, 18 a mission house at Byrd’s mill, a few miles east of the crest of Missionary Ridge where the great battle was fought. This house was erected by Gideon Black- burn, of Pennsylvania, in 1808, who came west as a Missionary to the Cherokee Indians. Blackburn was the —— =SS JOHN A.

The building around which greater interest centered after the occupation of Chattanooga by the Union troops perhaps than all others, is the old Crutchfleld hotel, now the Read House, a modern brick hotel building sincg erected on the site of the Crutchfleld house. After the battle of Chickamauga the Crutchileld house was used as an army hospital. Hundreds of wounded soldiers were carried from the fleld of Chickamauga, a distance of ten miles from Chatatnooga, and cared for in this hetel. It was also headquarters a great deal of the time for Union com- manders. Many important conferences were held there, the state of the Union cause discussed and plan laid for mili: tary operations. In turn this house has sheltered all of the military offi clals of the Confederacy that were as: signed to this territory, including Pres: 1dent Jefferson Davis, of the Confed: erate States, members of his cabinet and other men high in the councils of the south. In war days there was a Crutchfield farm on the Tennessee river a few miles above Chattanooga that will be remembered by every survivor of the {Union army who was with Gen. W, T. Sherman at the battle of Missionary Ridge. Gen. Sherman first crossed the ‘Tennessee river at Brown’s forry be low the-city and marched up the north %ank until he was opposite the mouth of South Chickamauga creek. Here Re recrossed the Tennessee, landing on the Crutchfield farm. His object was to attack the position of Gen. Patrick Cleburne on Missionary Ridge at Tun- “‘nel Hill. Desperate fighting oucurred ~ &t this point, and the Or ntchflsld hm’. a commodious farm house, was cuv verted into a hospital where seveial hundred wounded soldiers were given surgical attention. The Crutchfield tarm contained 2,000 acres. Gen. James A. Garfield occupied the residence of the late Judge D. M. Key, postmaster general in President Haye's cabinet. This house is still s:anding and has been kept in good repai~. The Loveman residence is built ugon the site of the Brabson home that was headquarters of Gen. Bragg before he evacuated Chattanooga. The Brabscn home burned thirty-one years ago. The Nottingham residence, one of the b appointed in Chatianooga, .was occu- pied during the war by Generals Hill and Palmer. The remains of Gen. Mc- Pherson, who was killed before Atlun- ta, lay in state in .his residence, sur- rounded by a military guard of kenor MARTIN H. GLYNN. Sends Netice to Sulzer to Vacate Governor's Office. CHICAGO TO HEAR COLONEL Roosevelt Will Make Address on His Return From Arizona. Chicago, Aug. 16.—Theodore Roose- velt will stop over in Chicago on his return trip from the Arizona desert to make a speech here some time lale in August, according to information given out at Progressive headquarters. It had been Mr. Roosevelt's inten- tion to speak in Chicago either Aug. 15 or 23, but the prolongation of his trip through the Western desert dis- arranged the schedule and his local following does not know just when he will reach the city. Following his speech here it is prob- able that the colonel will go at once to New York, where he will deliver an address before his Eastern ad- herents. CHINESE DIPLOMATS CONFER Meeting Held by Oriental Ministers . at Geneva. Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 16.—Pro- longed secret conferences are being held at a hotel here by the Chinese ambassadors to France, Germany, Aus- tria-Hungary, Italy and The Nether- ‘|lands. The diplomats refuse to receive re- porters, declaring that the affair is a private one affecting their country alone.

Little Faith was possessed of a most frlendly disposition, but bad not yet reached the age where she could un- derstand the silence that may wrap itself around a wordless intimacy. In fact, she demanded speech, frequent and loving. One night her brother was studying most assiduously his arithmetic lesson, and after calling to him several times without receiving an answer, she ap- pealed to her failer. “George is hu said father. “I know," replied Faith,” “but he might at least bave said. ‘Shut up.’ "— ‘Woman's Home Companion.

A SKELETON IN THE CLOSET. Tragio Story of the Origin of the Fa- miliar Expression. “A skeleton.in the cupboard” is a familiar expression which has a tragic origin. The story is that a certain widow in England had a son in India, but owing to his failing health his mother became very anxious for. his return. One day she received a letter from him containing the strange re- quest that she should find some one who had no care or trouble and ask her to make six shirts for him. Anxious to accede to his wishes, the mother hunted Jong and finally. found a lady who apparently fulfilled the condition. The }n.dy listened in silence to the request.and then invited the widow into her bedroom, and there she opened a cupboard, which contained a human skeleton, “Madam,” she said, “I endeavor to keep my trouble to myself, but every night my husband compels me to kiss that skeleton, which was once his ri- val, whom he killed in a duel many years ago. Think you that I am hap- py?’ Then the mother wrote to her son of the fruitless errand, and his reply was: “I knew when I gave yon the com- mission that every one had his cares, and you, mother, must have yours. Know, then, that I am condemned to death and can never return to Eng- land. Mother, mother, there 18 a skele- ton in every house!” Yeaye's Lost “Btrad.” Of fiddles lost; stolen or strayed the most notable Instance within recent times is the disappearance of the vio- lin belonging to' the great player Ysaye. It was a Stradivarius, made in 1782, and.one of the violins showii’in the loan collection of musical instruments at South Kensington in 1885. It was the practice of ¥saye, as of every other great player, to carry with bim two violins, so that in case of accident he might have one to fall back upon. The stolen one was left unattended in the artist’s room below: the orchestra. It vanished, and in consequence of the hue and cry that resulted the instru- ment has never come to light again. Nor can the possessor of such a violin bring it to light while the present gen- eration of experts is alive, for infalli- bly it would be recognized.—8t. James’ Gazette. The Aged Hars. About 500 years ago there lved in Agshelin, a little town in Asia Minor, an imam, or village parson, the Khoja' Nasr-ed-Din Effendl. Harry Charles Lukach says that one day a camel passed along'the street in which the | Khoja lived, and one. of the Khoja's neighbors who had never soen a camel before ran. to ask - him what this strange beast might-be. “Don’t you know.what this is?”’ said the Khoja, who also had never seen a camel, but would: not betray his igno- rance. “That is a- hare a thousand years old.”—Pall Mall-Gazette.

Washington Star. Appropriate. . “What do you. think would be a nice preunnogls & lawyer friend?’ to Her Contract. The following true tale 18 a most cu- rious instance of living well on noth- ing a year without breaking the laws of the land. Many years ago a steam packet company of Liverpool wished owned by a *stay at home spinster,” as her neighbors described her. She sold her land at a very low price, but insisted ‘upon a clause being inserted in the agreement giving her the right at any time during her life to travel with a companion in any of the com- pany’s vessels. ‘When the agreement was closed she sold her furnituie and went on board the first outgoing ship belonging to the packet company. For years this wise spinster. lived nearly all the time upon one ship or another, frequently accom- panied by a companion, accordng to the agreement. This was always a per- son who otherwise would have been a ‘regular passenger, but who purchased her tickeét at. reduced rates by paying the spinster instead of the packet com- pany. The company offered her more than twice the value of the land if she would give up her privilege, but this she would not do.” Her reply was, “You got the land cheap, and I like sailing, 8o we both should be satisfied.” TENNYSON AND “SCOTT. ‘Why the One Did and the Other Didn't Accept the Laureates! When Sir Walter Scott was offered the laureateship in 1813 he declined the post because, as he wrote to Lady Abercorn, “the necessity of writing odes twice a year is a difficulty which no one ought to encounter who has any poetical character to lose; at least I am sure 1 should find it insurmount- able. The thing might be easily done in a decent sort of way as old White- head himself describes it: ““Whose muse obliged by sack or pension, ‘Without a subject or invention, Must certain words in order set As innocent as a Gazette, Must some half meaning half disguise And utter neither truth nor les.” Tennyson received the letter offering bim the laureateship one morning be- fore he was out of bed. On rising he immediately wrote two replies, one ac- cepting, the other declining the offer, and determined to consult with his friends at dinner which to tend. Ever afterward he would jokingly declare that he accepted the honor because Venables assured him that if he be- came laureate he “would always, when dining out, be offered the liver wing of a fowl.”—London Chronicle. FRISKY SENATE PAGES. They Are Great Mimics and Discuss Burlesque Legislation. They are the greatest mimics in the world. 'They can take off the idiosyn- crasles and humorous pecuHarities of the senators to a “T." Sometimes when the senate is not sitting and too many visitors and page bosses are not around to observe the proceedings the pages themselves go Into a solemn senatorial session. One will impersonate the vice president, another the chief clerk, and so on Various other boys will pretend to-be elther their favorite sepators or the senators of home states. Each boy oc cuples the seat to which the real sen- ator Is entitled. Bang! goes the vice president’s gavel, and the extraordinary session of pages bas convened. There Is always an argument as to which senator shall be recognized when the regulal order of business is reaclied. Every concelv- able current subject is discussed, with a goodly sprinkiing of “‘baseball legls- lation,” which always carries with it a rider by which each page senator shall be entltled to an annual self renewing pass for all the season’s games. A bill which is almost sure to be introduced is one which proposes to Increase the salaries of the pages and shorten their hours of duty.—Robert D. Heine in Leslie's Weekly. HEAT AND THE BODY. We Are Able to Drink Liquids That Would Scald Our Hands, The human body can stand far greater heat if it be dry than if it be wet, and, strangely enough, it can stand far hotter liquids inside than out. For example, the average tea drinker sips tea at a temperature of about 140 degrees F.—sometimes as high as 145 degrees. But he cannot bear his bands in water at 120 degrees or hls feet in water higher than 112 degrees. Few people can stand a bath In water at 105 degrees. In parts of central Australia men live in an average temperature of 115 degrees F. in the shade and 140 de- gress in the sun, while 151 degrees has been registered. In the Persian gulf the thermometers on ships vary between 122 degrees and 140. A re- cent explorer -in the Himalayas re- ports that he found at 9 a. m. in De- cember and at more than 10,000 feet altitude a temperature of 131 degrees F. Drs, Bleyden and Chantrey, two Eng- lish scientists, desiring to ascertain bow high a temperature the human body could stand. shut themselves in an oven, of which the heat was gradu- ally raised and they were able to bear :|it unti] the thermometer registered 212 degrees F., the boiling poiut of water. —S8t.

History tells us how primitive man lived. - History tells us how man changed his ways of dress, his ways of living, and his every day desires and ambitions. History also tells us how an article was yesterday looked upon as the product of an unbal- anced mind, today loked upon as a luxury, and to- morrow Iooked upon as a necessity. It but illus- trates the ever changing mind, the ever changing human desire. Why is it there is that constant revolution go- ing on in the'human heart between everything new and everything old? It is that intense desire to - have those things that will nge us greater comfort and happiness. B Now here is where advertising comes in. It is a great educator—a great civilizing or developing force. Its purpose is to keep people informed on ‘the use and value of a commodity and overcome any prejudice that may exist against it. Look at the automobile. At first the thought of a locomotive running wild in our streets was looked upon as a curse and a thing people would not toler- ate. Then shortly the prejudice began to wane and it became looked upon as a necessity. Advertising brought about this onderful change, and every au- tomobile manufacturer in the country will verify this assertion. The purpose of all advertising, general and lo-' cal, is to intensify general and local desires, create general and local markets. A manufacturer, or general advertiser, advertises to create’a general market, so as to sell his goods to the local merchant. .. It is up to the local merchant to create the local market for his goods. The people are in a receptive attitude ail“the tinre, and the local merchant should grasp the op- portunity of educating them through the local pa- per to appreciate the value of his goods and want the goods.
