Delta, for a number ol years tbs faitbfnl Beorelary of the State for tbe Odd Fellows, died suddenly in Ma eon on Thursday. InFraooe tbestate has a monopoly for tbe sale of matches and tobacco. Nearly 35,000.000 matches were man* ufaetored in France daring 1897, and about 50,000,000 were brought from other countries. About 900 matebee per bead is the estimated annual cun* sumption of matches in France. The profit upon these was nearly 84,000,* 000. Tbe disbanding of tbe Union army began on June 1, 1865, and in 150 days from that date 786,000 men were mustered out of tbe service. The reason—one of tbe reasons, anyway— why mustering out is now conducted so slowly Is that tbe war with Spain Is not yet • recorded and recognised funeral.

George Eecoll Sellers ol Chatta nooga, Tenn , is the mac who inspired * Mark Twain with tbe idea of Col. Mul berry Sellere in “The Gilded Age.” He is nearly 90 years old and a day or two ago, with characteristic eccentricity* adopted as his daughter Mrs. Louisa Stodson Grimmer, aged 75 He is wealthy sod childless and doer not want distant relatives to get posses sion of bis property. Years ego bis wife died and be has since been living at tbe bouse of Mrs. Grimmer. Emperor William’s journey has called out the usual who find bis trip to Jerusalem forecast in tbe Bible, naturally in Revelation, which has been the favorite book of the seers and mystics ol all times. Tbe particular verae that i< supposed to fit Emperor William’s venture is the second of Chapter xi of Revelation, and reads: “But tbe court which is without tbe temple leave out and measure it not, for it is given unto tbe Qentle; and the Holy City shall they tread under foot forty and two mouths” Dr. P. W. Alexander of Tifton has pa lien ted a device for lighting railroad trains with electricity generated by tbe movement of the car wheels. It is so constructed that, while the wheels are in motion, a quantity ot electricity is stored for lighting the train when the wheels cease to turn. Dr. Alexander is confident that his invention will prove a success, and has bad many assurances from rail* road men that they believe it will suc cessfully light trains. Tbe doctor has secured patents on bis invention in this country, England and France. **le Naw York going to prove Isles, to tbe administration, false to the flag, false to what it did last summer, false to what tbe navy and the army won for the countryT” thus spake Col. Roosevelt yesterday. It is an appeal that is keyed upon a falsehood, and it can hardly prove a winner when the votes are counted. Tbe war was not a Republican war, nor ao administration war; it was supported by all citisens, irrespective of party, and its achieve ments belong to the whole people. A A man can vote Republican, Democrat, Populist, or Prohibitionist in the com« log eltoiion without proving himself “false to tbe flsg.”—Springfield Re publican. Tbe amount of coal consumed by a vessel daring a voyage depends very largely upon the speed, for tbe cop* sumption ol coal increases almost in a geometrical ratio to the speed. There are many ships which born from 100 to 300 tone ot coal per day, ths lowest consumption being when the wesel is going at a moderate rats. Our men of war do not consume so much io pro portion as swWt passenger steamships which ply between Europe and Amer ica, for, unless io an emergency, they are not driven at tbe highest attainable speed. The ocean passenger steam ships oftenburu from 2,500 to 3,000 tons during a passage lasting six to seven days. The Good Old Jokes.
