A fovv days ao the Knights of Pythias ot
the city were very much agitated over the
minounccmeiit.comliiK through Colonel Harry
Downs , that the uniform rank of the order
would not bo allowed to parado'on Memorial
Poy , Colonel Downs had communicated
with Major General James It. Carnahan and
Jind understood that his orders were to this
effect. Colonel Downs received a letter ycs-
tcrdny , however , which makes it evident
that ho was mistaken in his understanding of
the matter , What General Carnahan says
jn tits letter explaining his position in the
jrmtter will ba of interest to all Knights of
Pythias. In his letter to Colonel Downs hu
' * * * You have certainly inlsundcr-
ptood me as to the propriety of the uniformed
rank taking part In tlio Memorial Day exer
cises with the Grand Army. 1 hnvo heartily
opposed this from the first for two reasons.
"First The Knights of Pythias was in-
stllu cd , by comrades of the union army
( luring the war of the robulllon , and their
Jlrst object was the relief of union sokllnrs.
"Second "Die " men who , nftor Its organi
zation , took uctlvo part in the building of
tlio order of Knights of Pythias , were com
rades of the Gmnd Army , and it was through
them that the order eprcad through the
ftoutli nnd helped to cement the bond of
union which now exists between the several
states.
u * * i deem It proper that the
uniform rank should parade with the Grand
Army on that day nnd hnvo from tbo first
civcn my consent to this. * * * This
is not going into general parades. I mnko
these Decoration Day exercises nn exception
to tlio rule as u matter of duty nnd patriot
ism. 1 think you did right nnd proper to
parade on the day of the laying of the corner
stone of the armory and commend you
i for it,1'
' This letter settles nny doubts ns to Gen
eral Carnahan's Ideas upon the subject and
the uniform rank will bo out in full force on
Memorial Day.

I looks upon all the opposition to Missouri

Travels of a Cautti * Thorn In n Jinn's
Doily.
George W. Mitchell , the foreman of
the Pulatku ( Flu. ) Daily News was
thrown into n contemplative mood the
other day by n strange occurrence.
AbouUsevon years ago he was traveling
in Mexico , and while out walking one
daylio saw something on the ground
that excited his curiosity and ho
stooped down , to pick it up. While
thus stooping or sitting on ono knee ho
lost his balance and fell over against a
cactus , running one of the thorns into
the calf of his log. lie tried to pull it
out , but did not succeed , and when he
got up. as it had stuck into a muscle , it
had a firm hold and was drawn in
through the skin and disappeared. For
after that the only Inconvenience was a
little soreness in the wound , and two or
three years utter Mr. Mitchell said ho
felt as if ho Imd rheumatism in that
log.Last
Last Saturday n sere place was felt
on his chin something like a boil ,
though not quite so painful. Still it
was enough to annoy him , and ho kept
working at the place , as ono will , until
ho felt a sharp point protruding. lie
tried several ways of ascertaining what
it was , and 'finally resorted to the old-
fashioned way of squeezing the place
until the point came out and about
three-quarters of an inch of the oUl
cactus thorn. After seven years of
travel over his body , entering the calf
of his leg , it finally finishes its journey
on the end of his chin.
Wo would be pleased to know of a man
or woman who has never had headache
or been subject to constipation. As those
seem to bo universal troubles a littlr/ad-
vice may seem in order. Why should
persons cram their stomachs with nau
seating purgative pills , etc. , which sicken -
on and debilitate when such a pleasant
and sterling remedy as Prickly Ash
Bitters will act mildly und effectively
on the liver , kidney- stomach and bowels -
ols , and at the same time tone up and
strengthen the whole system ; causing
headache , constipation and all such dis
tressing evils to quiokly disappear.
How Americans Throw Awny Money.
It gives ono an idea of the stupendous
increase of the wealth in this country
that the Pence do Leon hotel at St.
Augustine , Fla. , which cost $12,500,000
and holds about 1,000 guests , has paid so
well that its owner is adding to it the
Alca/.ar , across the street , at a cost of
83,500,000 more , The Atlanta Constitu
tion describes this hotel as a world-
wonder of splendor and luxury , but the
paragraph that gives the best idea of
its elegance and wealth of its patrons is
this :
"Tho rates ? Five dollars a day and
upward. Eight out of ton visitors pay
$5 a day The other two , taking pri
vate parlors or extra rooms , pay from
88 to $100 a day. The suit of rooms'
engaged by Mr. Pulitzer were $650 a
week. The Duke of Nowcjistle paid
8580 a week for his rooms ordered
in an extra sideboard , and kept
them while away two weeKs ago in
southern Florida. A lady paid $1 , 000
for two weeks for her apartments. The
bridal chambers cost $40 n day not a
stccn figure for young folks. The price
for ( tinner is $ U simply because the
boats and trains bring scores of sight
seers every day who take dinner , hear
the concerts and oxplorothe house from
the picture gallery and gardens to the
sheltered roof below which and far
away the ocean unrolls its thunderous
mnjeuty. "

A Fifty I "ays' Vast.
A Lancaster ( Pa. ) special to the Pub-
lie Ledger of the lUlh says : Ono of the
most remarkable cases over known in
this community is that of Mary Juno
Woidlor , an flimato of the Lancaster
county'hospital , who has not tasted food
for llf'ty days in fact Dr. Tanner has
been far outdone. It IKIB boon almost
two years since this woman began to
fast. She first stopped eating meat of
any kind , ana soon afterwards refused
potatoes. Finally she began to llvo on
bread und butter. She abandoned tlicso
and took to crackers and milk , which
she ate for awhile. She quit both of
those finally and refused to take any
thing of any consequence.
On May 1U , last , she was taken to the
hosnital where she has since been. She
refused to eat , and at first it was sup
posed that her stomnuh would not re
tain anything. It was BOOH found that
this was not the case , und it was finally
determined that she should ho feu
by forco. This plan was followed
for five months , when it was dropped ,
the physician , thinking that the severe
pump treatment had cured her and she
would not bo so stubborn , but her
strange mania remained , and the physi
cian decided to allow her to oat nothing
until the cravings caused htir to de
mand food. She was placed in a room
and olodoly watched in order to sco if
sh trot any food by stealth.
The datosho was confined in this room
was the ± 2d of March , and since then
day nothing has passed her lips save u
few ounces of water daily. Last Sun
day sno was in better condition than
for some time , and walked a mile under
cure ol an attendant. To-day , the Hf-
tiolh of her fast , there is but little
change. However , Dr. Sensonig , the
resident physician , thinks ho sees ovl-
doncesof coming prostration , and will ,
perhaps , on Sunday or Monday , again
resort to the plan of forcing food into
her stomach by moans of u pump. It is
a. strange case , and attracts much atten
tion among medical mon.

A NIGHT IN A PRIVATE HOUSE.
An Omnlm Drummer's Strange Ex
perience "Wllli.n Crazy Landlord
Tlio Coming Convention Some
of Onmlm'a Men and Work.
In n Prlvnto House.
Only a short time ago ono of Omaha's Jolly
drummers had a very pleasant night which
ho docs not care to refer to among the boys.
In relating the matter wo will call him
Ocorgo. George is a great lover of society
and as n matter of fact has no love for cross
road towns. The night referred to ho got
loft In the town of , and as there is no
hotel in the place ho got a little nervous after
ho began to realize the situation and applied
to his customer , Mr. B. , for a place to sleep.
The latter assured him that ho could got him
n bed in a private house , and after going over
and making the necessary arrangements re
turned and reported that ho had secured a
splendid room and ho would accompany him
to the house and Introduce him , which ho
did. George found tbo family seated in the
sitting room. They offered him a scat and
proceeded to make him ono of < the family.
About the tlmo the genial commercial man
began to bo comfortable and feel nt homo ho
noticed that his landlord was acting strange
ly and was looking rather wild nt him. Ho
concluded tnat it was about tlmo for him to
retire and at once asked to bo shown to his
room. He had hardly gotten Into it before
he heard the old man begin to rave. It
dawned upon him then that the head of the
house was crazy and a maniac. Bo bethought
himself to lock Ills door and thus guard his
sanctum. Ho proceeded to accomplish the
net but found , to his great discomfiture , that
there was no lock on the door
and no way of getting out of the house
only by passing through the sitting room. As
the night were slowly on , the old man's rav
ings became louder and moro audible to the
tcrrlilcd drummer , who occupied the bridal
chamber of the mansion. He heard from the
conversation oC the raving host that ho had a
knife and was eager for the scalp and gore of
some person. The genial housewife and
daughter , to whom the guest had paid so
much attention during the evcnine , wcro pcr-
sudiiiK him to give up the knlfo and thought
of bloodshed and retire for the night.
While these things were going on below ,
Gcorgo was busy in fortifying his room and
making entrance to it impossible by barri
cading the door witli a trunk , some chairs , a
table and last , but not least , the bed. There
was uo lire In the room and as the night
were on , very slowly , it being
very cold , ho realized that ho could not stay
up In the cold room and must not go to sleep
for the old man evidently intended to carve
him , so the only thing for him to do was to
go to bed with his clothes on and lay awake
all night and watch the door and try to de
fend himself in case the old man got in. But
as night moved on the old man got quiet and
Gcorgo was not killed. In the morning when
he returned to Mr. B's store the latter asked
him if ho rested well. After getting no
answer ho looked at George and with a tone
of anxious inquiry says : "My God man ,
what is the matter with youl Are you sick ?
You look as if you had lost all your friends. "
Then with n child-liko innocence George
asked , "is the old man crazy 1" the merchant
then realized the cause of the haggard looks
and begun to explain by saying that the old
man was perfectly harmless and would not
disturb any one. But to this day that drum
mer will not believe that his life would have
been safe that night without his bed against
the door , and bo positively declares ho will
never stop another night in n cross-roads
town or private house until after ho is mar
ried. I cannot help think that. Judging from
his gray hairs that have made their prema
ture appearance , ho will iiover forget his so-
called elegant room in that private house.

The SUite ol'Tradc.
The traveling men of the Omaha trade are
now experiencing the best sales-in almost all
lines of-goods that they tiavo had during this
season. The fall trade Is usually about
.closed up by this tiuio but this year It is
thruo weeks or A month late. This
tate ot affairs is very Rratlf.vlng to the mer
chants nnd the boys wnon they oomo In off
the road are oqunlly happy. Tlio trade wilt
carry the men through , in tholr work until
about the first of July nud make the summer
rest much shorter thamisual.
Never Hcnril of Scrnpplo.
A commercial traveler , who has been
temporarily abiding' ' : ln Philadelphia , while
preparing to go out again "on the road , "
says the Merchant , Traveler , remarked :
"I1 vo eaten all kinds pfllshes in nearly nil
countries under the sun. I hnvo relished
baked rattlesnakes In. the south , snails In
France , shark's-fln and bird's nest soup In
China , pol In the Sandw'itch Islands , baked
dog among the Indians , cavlaro in Russia ,
but I never heard toll of scrapple until I
came to Philadelphia. Up where I am stop.
ping wo have scrapple In ovor.v shnpo. Wo
have it frlod for breakfast , boiled for dinner
nnd scrapple hash for supper. I believe the
landlady will try scrapple omelets and scrap.
plo ragouts on us next I llko scrapple , but
I don't hanker after it , " This scrap'll servo
to Illustrate what a varlgatod prevaricator
the commercial traveler can become when ho
wants to , nnd ho often wants to.
The Coming Convention.
The Juno convention at Minneapolis , says
the Merchant Traveler editorially , gives
promise of being a very stormy gathering.
Many of the solid men of the association are
to bo present and they will all wear the
regalia of warfare on Iho present system.
The Insurance cxoresenco will bo removed
from the body of the association and the
latter will either submit to a thorough and
complete disinfection of the malodors which
pervade its carcass or it will bo dumped into
the slouuh of dcsiKmd , The only thing that
is worthy o f admiration In the whole outfit is
the tenacity with which the Ins cling to and
support each other. Their nerve and porso-
vcrauco Is worthy n bolter cause.
' Advices to Voting SI on ,
A commercial travelers tract consisting of
seven pages has been published recently en
titled "Successful Salesmen. " Tlio subject
matter of the paper is taken from the Lou-
don Tobacco nnd the following nro a few of
the suggestions it contains to the young men
on the road nnd the young men who nro
thinking of going on'tho road :
A man in order to make n success as a
salesman must have a good appear.uico , bo
pleasant , persevering and not imagine ho
knows too much. Good address , quick per
ceptive qualities , plenty of pcrsevernneo and
caution , with a calm , even temper , nro some
of the qualitloa that go to make a successful
salesman. Good traveling men nro born and
the man who can got into the confidence of his
customer the quickest Is the cleverest ono.
"Tho different modes travelers have of ad
dressing their customers the tone of voice
and general bearing is important , and
shonlcl differ greatly according to tlio man
addressed. Hero comes in the preceptive
power , for different men require different
handling , and sometimes by a little flattcri
and throwing in a "sir" or two you can got
round a conceited buyer. " The pamphlet de
scribes at length the various kinds of cus
tomers a man must meet , the "know all , "
the argumentative man , thn stupid and slow
ones and all the varieties of business men
are discussed nt length.
"In showing sauiplds,1' the writer 'says ,
"especially if you have to sell each Journey
such things as fancy goods great skill is re
quired , and therein liesione of the secrets of
success. You must measure your customer
as to how much ho can buy nnd pay for , and
keep the most salable goods and latest novel
ties until last , pushing those goods first that
you know your house wishes to dispose of
quickly. At the same time I recommend
no ono to sell goods , ' ho knows the shop
keeper will kcop in stock and find difficult to
dispose of. for u traveler that knows his
business knows pretty well what will sell in
particular neighborhoods , and what will not ,
and it is a mistake to rush a lot of goods
into a man that bo will never sell at a profit. "
The writer farther recommends that tiio
men adhere strictly to the truth about their
coeds , bo absolutely temperate , cleanly in
dress and strictly honest with every one.
The suggcrtions given m the little volume
would be read with interest and profit bv
the older men on the road as well as new
beginners. _

Samples.
J. M. Jarrell , representing the Barter
Medicine company , of St : Louis , has Just
completed his tour of tlio state and is now
putting the final touch on his trip in the city
of Omaha by distributing in every residence
a sample of his medicines. No better adver
tiser over carried a card than Mr. .larrcll.
Ho is popular among all classes , ladies and
all. Ho carries n letter from a customer nt
Fullerton which ho delights in reading to the
boys which is of cspccltll interest to the fra
ternity. Ask him to read it to you ; it is very
amusing.
S. It. Graham , representing Brittnm Rich
ardson & Co. , of St. Joseph , has spent four
days in David City the pjst wcok and in his
own language , "has been knocking 'cm cold"
on orders , The customers from surrounding
country towns have been floe-king in to look
at his samples and the result has been an Im
mense trade. Certain other attractions in n
social way. make it very pleasant for Mr ,
Graham in David City.
That was a great surprise to Al Dean , of
Burdctt , Smith & Co. , mentioned u week ago
in a Sunday morning contemporary , re
garding the issuing of "cards , " etc. Mr.
Dean authorizes these samples to deny the
accusation , und says , when such an event
takes place it will bo when the ' -mulus take
wings and lly. " Wo nro awfully sorry , for
wo expected to bo included in his list.
