Hoara Brown, Oldeat Soldier. Hoeea Brown, of Grant' I'aa, Ore ton, is one of the six urvivors of the r of 1812. When Mr. Brown mi lorn the French revolution was at Its leight anil the United; States was a uere baby of a republic. He la a na ive of Westmoreland, Cheshire Coun y, in New Hampshire, and is Just 105 ream old His father fought In the evolutionary war and w as wounded in ine of the early engagements near Bos on. Hoeea la one of thirteen children ,nA ha riimilv la noted for its lon- tevlty. One of hla brothers lived to be W and another to be 1 years old. A ..ntnrv neo the people of this country iad not the same facilities for ediica- .1on they are now blessed with, and rounff Brown had to be content with ht lnrninir he could get In an or llnnrv loir schoolbouae of the early HOSBA. BROWX. times. Three months of the winter he ittended school, and the other seasons f the year he 8ent on the farm. uen he reached the age of 20 hla father gave aim a little money and Hoaea went to New York and worked on a farm in that State for 1 12 a month. About tnla time the United States en tered upon Its second war with Eng land, and young Brown liecame a pri vate In the company of Captain Btir ria' New York Volunteers and march rd to the defense of Sackett's HarlKr, Lake Ontario. When the enemy' boats began to come Into view one of the American commanders, who had spok tn of eating the British at sight, talked U-m valiantly, and as be saw the ahlps coming at him in a swarm, he doubted She ability of the American force to withstand the red-coats. He said ho thought It would be advisable to re treat A the boats approached the shore this militiaman said to hla sol diers: "I know we shall have to re treat, and as I am a little lame I'll start now." And away be went. The United States commander (Brown, by name, too), waa ashamed of hla compatriot and tried to stop the cowards, but could not. The command to which Hosea Brown belonged refused to run with 1U friends and stood Its ground unflinchingly. The battle was against luch odd, however, that a retreat was necessary. The United States generals sent word to the flying militiamen that the enemy had been repulsed. This llt 11.. trick had 1 lift desired effect, and Hack came the boys, who redeemed their lost honor by converting almost certain dlaaater Into a glorloue victory. When his term of service expired rnnm? Rrown returned to his old home. At the age of 24 years he married Miss Hester Smith, who bore Win two boys and three girls. In 1825 he went to otnraiisna Countr. New York, and with no money made hi real start In life He built a cabin for himself wnrklnr unon It at night, and earning a few cents by thrashing grain for his neighbors during the day. In this place he lived forty years, and in that time lout liv death his entire family. In 1857 he went to Missouri; sold out his property In New lork, and for a time stopped In Worth County. Tiring of liviiiir alone, ho flnallr removed to the home of hi grandaou, Orr Brown, with whom he now resides. Notwithstanding hla great age, Mr Brown retalus all his faculties. His head Is clear, bis memory good, and his nerves steady, nut ne una not walked fur three veara. lie lives In a comfort able chair, and cordially receive the visitors who call to see the old soldier nf the war of 1812. Under the original pension law Mr. Rrown received a month. Till Pen lon was Increased ten yeans ago to $12, and in 1801 Mr. Brown was granted a pedal pension of MO a month. Last year, In consideration of bla extreme age, hla stipend was further Increased in f.V) a month. He la the olileat sol ilicr receiving a pension, and the clerks In the office take a special pleasure In nmmrlnr Ida voucher and remitting the money before any other old soldier I nain. During the past year a most remark- nlilo ilianin has come to him. For tlfty years hla hair, thick and soft, has been perfectly gray. Sir month ago It Itegan to turn black and now there Is not a gray hair In hi bead. Iatharv Plaa. ' . PrmMent Lincoln, who irreatlv enlov ed stort.w about the humorous prank of soldiers, once told Mr. Noah Brooks the following: At the cl nf aevere engagement A soldier, badly wounded, was being carried to the rear, when he espied Miner woman hawking some very Iniiirh. looking Die.

The visitors drew on the lovely oM ladv to talk of her anti-slavery experi ences, and anions other questions, Mrs. Phelps-Ward asked her how, in assist ing fugitive slaves, she was able to guard against fraud-to know just whom she might safely trust and help. " 'Oh,' she replied, 'there was a pass word! It carried any escaping slave through the underground railway to safety. Sometimes It was written on a slip of torn, soiled paper, Sometimes It waa only whtsiertl for clear ures ake.

He at once went out to Far lev's place to see the cham- ' pion and graciously conceded the exten ' sion, but added that he did so because 1 he did not want to give his opponent ) the chance to say after he was defeated ' that he was out of condition.

The following signed statement was issued from re publican national headquarters last night: Considering the wild rumors which are being circulated inrougnout me country we deem it proper and advisable to state the result of the election, as in dicated by the returns and confirmed by telegrams to this office from the chair men of the several state committees and the members of the national committee in the several states. McKinley has carried beyond a doubt a sufficient num ber of states so that his vote in tbe elec toral college will not be less than 204. These states are th6 following, with the electoral vote of each state. California 9, Connecticut 6, Delaware 3, Illinois 24, Indiana 15, Iowa 13. Maine 6, Maryland 8, Massachusetts 15, Michi gan 14, Minnesota 4, New Hampshire 4, New Jersey 10, New York 36, Jort)i Da kota 3, Ohio 23, Oregon 4, Pennsylvania 32. Rhode Island 4, South Dakota 4, Vermont 4, West Virginia 6, Wisconsin 12. Total 204. In addition to these the states of Ken tucky, North Carolina and W yoming are in doubt, with the chances about even in the three states, although the republicans in Kentucky claim the state will give its electoral vote to McKinley by a majority of not less than 3,000. It is proper to give the hasis of tlie claims in the disputed states. Advices late last evening from California plxci the majority in that state at 8,000. Tin is confirmed by press reports. Tele grama from Indiana, from the dmmuai of the state republican central com mittee and the member of the national committee show that the state hag given not less than 2o.UUU and prooauiy over 10.000 for McKinley and that tlie re publicans have elected all the membeiH of congress and carried the legislature bv a maioritv of foitv on joint ballot. Telegrams from North and South Da kota, which have been confirmed by the Dress reports received, place the ma inritv in these ftates at a little morr than 5.000 in North Dakota and aboui 1,500 in South Dakota. In North Da kota we have elected the entire slate ticket and carried the legislature. In South Dakota the legwlature is in loubt.

The election of Ma jor McKinley to the presidency of the United States had a marked effect upon American securities here Wednesday. Business on the Stock exchange opened with a rush to buy. Milwaukee and Louisville led the advance, quickly fol lowed by the entire list, with advaneee of 2 to 6 per cent, which sent the brok ers flying hatless in every direction to join in the wild hubbub Inside, while in the streets customers were coming up by dozens. According to the general mpression tbe result will be a rapid liminution of the gald withdrawals for the United Sates, and ttieie is no doubt that Major McKinley's election favor ably affected the Stock exchange throughout. Consolf opened per ent higher than yesterday. The Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Frank fort Stock exchanges were in excellent tone and active yesterday in conse quences of the result of the election in the United States and the dealings in American securities showed advances. A leading English broker in an inter view with a representative of the Asso ciated press said: ''McKinley's election has helped the whole market. Large buying orders from New York were sent after the result of the electiou was known in the United States and started the market." The Star remarks: "We in England have great right to rejoice at the over whelming defeat of the at'ack on the gold standard. The sound common sense of the American people has saved the republic from worse than civil or foreign war." The Sun says: "Th great republic as risen magnificently to a great oc- - , , , i .1 i. casion. f utting out oi signi tne remits to thin country which must follow a fresh access of McKinleyism no one who is friendly to the United States can view the prospect without alarm." The Pall Mall Gazette says: "The decision is accepted with universal con sent in this country as being emphati-' cally to Ihe credit of the American elec torate." United States Ambassador Bayard received Wednesday evening from the London office of the Associated press dispatches regarding the election. A representative of the Associated press had an interview with Mr. Bayard yes-, terday, who said : "The keynote that rises above the confusion and excite ment and rejoices my ear is that the people of the United States, guided by the instincts of patriotism and self-pres ervation, regardless of past party affilia tions, have unmistakably repudiated repudiation in any form, and instructed those who seek official power that they must at least 'assume a virtue if they , have it not.' and that public and pri vate obligations must be placed beyond the reach of the pDlitical Jack Cades of this century. It will strongly tend to re-establish international confidence n the stability and security of property entrusted to democratic govrnments, and to harmonize the national interests and assist good relations. I, in common with all London, have received the news of McKinley's election i'h delight and eitisfact on. Beyond this I cannot comment either upon the campaign, the use made of our name, or discuss the monetary future." , Harry Marks, proprietor of the Finan cial News, says the news gave unbound ed satisfaction in English financial circles. He said: "But I still think there will be a reaction in a few days, The Industrial element fears a return of high protection. Although for the pres ent the financial question is settled, 1 think the advance in prices is somewhat frothv. While the English capitalist regard gilt-edged railway stocks favor ably, they know they are in the hands of cliques of speculators rather than in the hands of investors, and there may be rate wars. Therefore, I see nothing to cause big dealing in these stocks." The Evening Standard makes this statement: "Although McKinley is the champion of the fiscal policy designed to close the ports of the United States to British goods, there can be no doubt that his defeat of the free silver can didate Is a matter of satisfaction in this country." A Renult of Klectlon. Omaha, Nov. 6 One of the best evi dences of the business view of the result of the election is shown in this telegram from Mr. J. Edward Simmons, presi dent of the New York Clearing House association: New York, N. Y., Nov. 6. Henry W. Yates, Nebraska National Bank, Omaha : The overwhelming success of McKinley and Hobart relieves the busi ness community of a tension that has been most severe, and gives assurance to all the world of the maintenance of our government upon the basis of law and order and of the payment of all it obligations in the best money of the world. This is a triumph not of partr, but of principle, and all good citizen! hould congratulate themselves Upon a victory which can only be most benefi cial in its far reaching results.
