Aaawsred Thsir Last Boll Pall. Ja*t previous to election there about 465 ex-Union soldiers residing in McHenry county. There are now three lrss. Three of our comrades have" tn- swered their lastroll call on earth and are now camping on the other shore. Lyman Bacon, at Ringwood, Nov. 6, 1891, of paralysis. Comrade Bacon had been a long and patient sufferer and his death was due to disease contracted in the army and which troubled him from hie discharge till he received a strokt of paralysis some three years ago. He sei ved-over a year in Company D„ 95th Illinois Volunteers, and bore an honora­ ble record while thus serving and a« a citizen since. Comrades of the G. A. R attended and assisted at his funeral. He leaves a widow and grown op children. Andrew H. Henderson, at Barreville, Nov, 7, 181)2, of disease of the heart, aged 75 years. Comrade Henderson served almoet three years in Company D. 95th Illinois Volunteers, and bore an ex­ cellent reputation, both as a soldier and citizen. He had never enjoyed good health since leaving the army in June, 1865. William Love, near Woodstock, Nov. 10,1892. Comrade Love was one of the first to respond to his country's call and enlisted in Company A, 15th Illinois Vol unteers May 24,1861. He served three years and was ever on band and readj to perform any and all duties assigned him and was well thought of by hie com­ rades and officers over him. We know that he was a brave soldier from a per­ sonal knowledge of his service. Comrade- Love was buried Sunday, Nov. 13, in Oakland Cemetery, Woodstock. Service* were held at the Presbyterian Church, the 6. A. R. and Sons of Veterans, of Woodstock and vicinity being in attend­ ance and taking part in the services, ; .V* "A soldier as orave ns the bravest s Has gone on the last n arch of all Has fought t» e last terrible battle, 2 ^ ; > Has answered the last roll call," Along the Skirmish Una- Alabama has no home, but pays $25,- 000 annually in pensions. The death of Gen. Jamea W. Tuttlp, the hero of Fort Donelson, occurred at Casa Grande, A. T., of paralysis, aged 68 years. • Gen. Weaver is no coward. It took a man of courage to meet the Democrat* at Pulaski after they had mad« their threats. At the close of the six months' term, ending June 30,1892, the Department of Pennsylvania^. A. R. had amembershii in good stauding of 43,634, 2,360 hav­ ing been added by muster and reinstate­ ment during that period. The order of Confederate soldiers known ae the United Confederate Veter­ ans, Gen. John B. Gordon, commanding, with headquarters at New Orleans, is to extend its organization into the North. One division is to be formed east and one west of the Alleghanies, each to l* officered by a major general and divided into camps. The buried dead in North ern Confederate cemeteries are to be looked after, and needy survivors to be provided for, as the grand army cares for its own people. A complete roster of the Confederate dead ia the North ip also to be compiled. Comrade Rife gives an interesting inci­ dent that occurred in Virginia iit 1863. The army was drawn up in a line of bat­ tle, and the skirmishers were maneuver­ ing from both sides. One of the Confed­ erate boys was seen by Comrade Rife to take a position behind a stump and he at once aimed his rifle to shoot, when the fellow in gray threw up his gun and fired the ball striking squarely in the mnzzle of Comrade Rife's gun, and sent it flying some ten feet from him, and split the barrel some two inches. It was a close call, and for few minutes Comrade Rife did not know what happened or what had .become of bis gun. Perhaps the most important rots yet received is that from the Soldier's Home. The total vote was 1,380, of which Cleve­ land received only 138, a Republican majority of 1,242. The Republican ma­ jority there in 1888 waa 869.

IT WAS WORSE THAN AN INFERNAL MACHINE Iff EFFECT. / A Devoted Brother Has an Interesting sad Exasperating Experience with • Qsser Going TlmepW><-«--fVtaMTWaa the wlCt the Clock. This is a story about a clock which made a great deal of trouble for two people and gave the same two people very poor opinions of each other. The brother says that no woman in the world save his sister co^li'i have had such amazing ijinoram-o about flocks in gen­ eral, and this one in particular, while his sister declares that onlj* her brother, of all men on earth, would have allowed a little bit of a clock to make a fool of him before a carload of strangers. The trouble with the clock was that it wouldn't keep time. There was no reason in the world why it wouldn't; It just wouldn't, and that was all there was to it. This was painful to the young woman for several reasons. It is only necessary to mention one; the timepiece had been given to her by her betrothed. He thought it was a little gem of a clock, and that it would please her. She agreed with him as to the beauty of the delicate little affair, and was pleased for a time; Then she began to got worried | th$!i sb$ got nervous, and lastly Utrmed. This was all of course because the thing would not go, and, because she feared lie might think she had broken it, or, worse still, as she herself confessed between time, that she hadn't sense enough to make a clock go, while her irreverent and impertinent brother suggested sweetly that he was more likely to think that it was her "face which had stopped a clock." The family were in the country When the clock was received, and when the time drew near for the arrival of the betrothed clock giver affairs began to be desperate. The young woman declared that that clock had to go. The clock simply wouldn't. She would wind it up--it would always wind without the slightest resistance--but it would not go. She shook it, she turned it upside down, she coaxed it, she laid it on its face and then on its back, and the hands were still froze to the face of the clock. "Albert," she said to her brother, "you must take this clock over to town and get it repaired. It must be repaired; it must go." Now town was ten miles away, and Albert did not see why any one should make so much fuss over a clock, and such a little clock, too, as that was. But when arguments and pleadings could not move him he yielded to tears, and, chucking the timepiece under his arm, he boarded the train and started for town. In the car he placed the clock on the seat beside him and rested his hand on it. Then more trouble began. That clock began to strike. It went into the striking business in a calm, determined way. It struck right along, up grade and down grade, around curves and on straight tracks. The brother felt a fainting around his heart. The people in the car who had first been amused began to be annoyed. The young man's face got red; it got warm; his hair be­ came bathed with dampness, but he clung to the clock like a Trojan. He had an idea that he might be able to hide it or smother it or close it, he didn't know which, and so he kept his hand tightly pressed on it. And all the time that infernal ma­ chine just "sawed wood." It had struck a gait which it liked, and it kept it'uji without a break. It showed no signs of getting tired or of running down. It was striking along at a 2:20 gait when the train reached the town. It con­ tinued to strike when the brother made his escape from the car. It went on striking up the street until the brother wanted to throw it over a fence and then commit suicide. No burglar alarm was ever more persevering than that clock. No clanging fire engine ever made more noise and caused more ex­ citement. The clock was striking away industriously and cheerfully when the brother ran into a jeweler's shop and threw the thing down on a counter. "For heaven's sake stop it!" he cried. But it had stopped. There it lay on the counter as dumb as an oyster and aa silent as a tomb. "Well, I'll be hanged,"said the broth­ er breathlessly. "What's the matter with it anyway?" he asked, looking at it as if it were a dynamite cartridge. The jeweler picked it up. "Look out!" cried the brother. "That thing will start up again if yon touch it." But it didn't. It never made a sound, only in a minute came a gentle and rhythmic ticking. 'There's nothing the trouble with it,'" said the jeweler, setting the hands and then examining the little iuferutJ ma­ chine. "You see," he added with a stym pathetic smile, "this is a repeating clock. You can make it restriko the lust hoar by touching this spring. Yon have bee? winding up the repeating sounder, but not the clock. And you must have lvelu your hand on the spring when yon kept it striking. It's all right now. All you want to do is to wind the clock more and the repeater less." 'Oh!" said the In-other with a gasp-- and that was all. Now the brother says that any woman who doesn't know enough to wind a clock doesn't know enough to live. And the sister says--well, every brother knows what filters can say.--N«w York T r i b u n e . ; WANTED.--Salesmen, Local aatlTraT- eling, to represent our well known bouse.

THE PRINCE AT THE PLAY. m m •:sM i'sm • • V3I How His Royal Blglmesa Attends English Theaters. fhe royal box is booked in the way of business and charged to Marlborough house account. The <i not increased from the ordinary Hi tariff, and the stories told about a nal price or a larger one being paid royalty only exist in the im the papers who invent such ta' Sometimes it happens thatboat can­ not be got at the particular cided upon. When this is the case it ̂ tV put nicely to the party who ha« booked the royal box if they could see their way to obliging his royal highness, and tins result is of course invariably in the af­ firmative. The prince, howeve1*. is very reluctant to have this done, always^! wishes that the party obliging shall hi as little inconvenieced as possible--so much sg that when told that the boot has been conceded he generally remarks: "Why did you disturb anybody on my account? I could have come here an­ other evening. Please see they asf!> thanked in my name." In the rare case of a refusal representation is made to his royal highness, and they try for a at another theater. ; - When he goes to a theater it is his es* pressed desire to be treated exactly ths same as one of the ordinary audience. Little displays of flowers, bouquets, satin programmes, etc., are all very nice, but tne prince does not care tor them, and would much rather do with­ out them. Another thing which annoya him is that he should be drawn attend tion to by the performance on his arrival of the national anthem or "God Bleaa the Prince of Wales." « As he said on one occasion, should the amusement of every membeff of this audience be disturbed for my sake?" This was at the Olympia theater during the run of "Fun on the Brtrtifc* As soon as the royal box became OOcn~ pied everybody was astonished to aee the orchestra suddenly stand up in the mid­ dle of the performance and begin pay­ ing "God Bless the Prince of Wales.* Of course the whole house rose ea masse, every eye was directed to ths royal box and the applause was deafen*/ ing. The prince immediately left ths box and demanded an explanation. 4fr. Jarritt arrived and explained tWt it was only the overzealousness of a too patriotic band conductor. This con* eluded the incident, but it was accepted as a precedent, and the same intimated to the managers generally. This ia whjf you often hear people say in a theater toward the close of the performances "Why, there is the Prince of Wales over there in a box, and they never playeft • 'Gcd Save the Queen.' What a shamef* The prince always waits until the final curtain has descended trefore riroig to leave. This is his invariable rafe 8o much so that he has sat out the entire harlequinade of a Drury lane panto­ mime. There are three or four thwafay* i only where he ever breaks this role. They are those houses which have no royal entrance, and here the prince an* ticipates the final curtain by two or " three minutes, so that his departure wiB not disturb the carriage traffic of the mainder of the audience.

In many f:'" other ways the prince is always think- 4 ~ ing of the drama. When he sees a 1 fit announced for some well artist who has often ministered to bw amusement, or some poor player who has fallen on bad times, he immediately puts his name down for stalls or boxes to a substantial amount.--London Morn­ ing. Ths Fogy Not Without Bis tfeea. Isn't it about time that some one ai> tempted a defense of the "old fogy?" In these days there is no one more decried. * He is popularly supposed to block tits • - wheels of enterprise, to stand in tils way \ of progress, and nearly every associatkat has two or three of these people whom the members would gladly throw ovens board if they could. The odd thing abodk all this is the fact that the "old foffy* has usually been one of the creators of the very body which seeks to be rid of him. In the beginning he was indefati­ gable; he labored long and earnestly to procure funds, and waa st considerable personal sacrifice to pot this or that in* stitution on its feet. Now that things are finally settled and paid for and everything is in goodr running order he is disposed to let well enough alone for a little time. But this will not do at all for the young blood which is constantly pouring in. Ths new element ia full of progressive ideas and suggestions of innovations, and when it meets resistance on the part of , the "old fogy" there is a elmtiirj of1 '^4^ opinions.--Buffalo Courier. • •£*? j- •'*# How to Light a Solid Body. . ' Oadogan Morgan was the firal el&v'" trician to experiment with electric light in solid bodies. This was in 1783. He : first inserted two wires into a stick of : wood and caused the spark to pass be. tween them. This had the effect of il-. hxminating the stick a beautiful bloocl red. An ivory ball, an orange or an apple may be lighted in the same man, ner. Some experimenters prefer ** lemon for this purpose, it being vecysqs* ceptible to the electric discharge, Sett­ ing forth at every spark as a spheroid ̂ 4 brilliant golden light. The wires asa&-M for this purpose should be brought wttti« )s about half an inch of each other to# aide the lemon.--St. Louis Republic.
