MOYMENT BY.THE 154tl OHIO 7.3. 0: AIT OLD-TIME MINSTEEL, We have received from J. S. Fallerton, chairman of the Chickamaugt and Chattanooga National Military Park Commission, a circular relative to furnishing barracks quarters for all ex-soldiers who may desire to attend the dedication exercises this fall, from which make the following extract, which will be of interest to all such: "Those send two dollars to Captain Charles F. Muller, Chattanooga, Tennessee, will receive in return a ticket which will entitle the holder to a comfortable barrack bunk for the entire time of his stay at Chattanooga, including storage for hand baggage and toilet accommodations.

It will not be possible to furnish ladies with quarters in these barracks, or to supply meals or lunches in connection with them. It will be necessary for each person to bring his own blanket and towels. The barracks will be constructed upon the plan adopted at the last Grand Army Encampment at Washington City, where a very large number of veterans were thus housed. Such structures will be erected in Chattanooga, where, within convenient distances, meals aiid lunches Their Annual Eeucion, Held a The Fair Grounds, Xenia, Aug. 13th, 1895.

The convention meets in Xeuia tomorrow, Saturday, Aug. 17th, atone o'clock, to nominate an additional judge residing in the third subdivision of the second Judicial district, consisting of Warren, Clinton, Greene and Montgomery counties, the term of such judge commencing on the first day of July, 1S9G.

The number of delegates to which each county is entitled is as follows: Montgomery 57, Greene 1C, Clinton 18, WarreiT 101. Thus it be seen that Montgomery county has 57 delegates, while all three of the other eouniies combined only of course, Montgomery conld always nominate the candidate if she choose. But the Judges, as we understand, must reside in the county complete history of the regiment while in the field. It was listened to very attentively, and brought up remembrances of the past very vividly, it was very interesting and instructive, and caught the boys about right. It has been suggested that the association have it printed in pamphlet form for future reference etc.

Wm. Brown, of Co. residing at Cincinnati, the architect of the new First M.

4th, 1SG4. Space will not permit as full a report as we would like to give of this pleasant occasion, but will simply Sam Sanford, Once a Stage Favorite, Now Eetired, Comfortably onsconcecl an armchair ou the porch of a hotel in Northampton, this state, with a cigar stuck between his teeth and reading a paper, sat a man vcith a generous paunch, gray mustache chin whiskers, hale, hearty and vigorous, de.sp.ite his 75 personality at onoe striking and impressive, a character knowledge of minstrels and the minstrelsy business is probably greater than thatofanyotherperscmliving. Such in brief is the description of the individual who, in response to the question of a representative of The "Ihroniole who called upon him, said; "Yos, sir, I am Samuel S. Sanford." For over an hour he entertained writer with stories of his career as a minstrel. He saw the rise and lecline of the'minstrel business.

In 1S4C, with a well lined pocket- iook, Sanford with his company ailed from New Orleans for After playing in nearly nil the rincipal cities in England he dis- overed that the English were rath- slow in catching on to American urnor, and he sailed for this coun- and landed in New York with 45 in cash. After varying fortunes i several years afterward leased a I uilding and turned it into what is o-w Carncross' theater in Philadelphia, Carncross and Dixie boing his successors. He also ran a theater in Pittsburg. While conducting his Philadelphia theater he got into a dispute with his landlord about the TEST OP A MIND EEADEE, He Went Into a Drugstore Blindfolded and Filled Prescription, Paul Alexander Johnstone, a mind reader, gave a performance recently at Alexander's drug store, on Olive street, which demonstrated the peculiar power he possesses. The test was the severe one of filling a prescription while he was blindfolded, the act baing done through reading the mind of the prescription clerk.

Dr. Heine Marks wrote a prescription which called for 40 grains of salol and 40 grains of ace- tanilid, to be divided into eight powders. The prescription was given to F. E. Whitcomb, the regular prescription clerk, Mr.

Johnstone was heavily blindfolded and did not know what articles were named in the prescription. Mr. Whitcomb was instructed to place tha ends of the fingers of his left hand on Mr. Johnstone's right wrist directly over the motor nerve, the theory being that this point of contact of the two individuals made a complete circuit of thoir two nervous systems, and thereby Mr. Johnstone could feel an electric shock when Mr.

Whitcomb's mind was concentrated on one object and could read the latter's mind. With Mr. Whitcomb's fingers touching hia shore. Cornelia where their duties mostly devolve, so that each county has its own Judge. The Judge to be nominated now is for Montgomery county and must be a Montgomery county man.

And thereby hangs a tale. For past there has been going on, mostly at Dayton, a very bitter light within the party, between what is known as the Lowes and anti-Lowes factions for the Judgeship. Dr. Lowes js the chairman of the County Republican Central Committee. The Lowes candidate is Attorney Al Kumler, while Attorney W.

Dustin is "his opponent. The election of delegates to the Xenia convention took place last evening (Thursday.) The delegates in the city of Dayton were elected under the Bailey law, Dustin securing twenty-nine of thirty-one delegates. The popular vote stood Dustin 2,493, Knmler 1,760. The townships of Harrison, Van Buren and Mad River, which adjoin the city, give Dustin three delegates. This gave the anti-Lowes faction a victory.

Delegates in the tow nships, Miamisburg and the National Military Home were selected in mass convention. Miamisburg gave Knm- ler three delegates, while there say that the proceedings were heartily enjoyed by all present. The following officers were elected to serve the ensuingyear: Major W. A.

E. F. Darst; 2nd Vice J. H. Matthews: 3rd Vice Wm.

Mary Smith' Case, question of rent, and his theater was shut down for him. He sued the owner of, the hnilding for $50,000 damages. Next day his landlord met him and said, "I see you intend to go to law about this affair of ours." "Yes. sir," replied Sanford. "Well, before you do I wish you would go to a certain saloon at such and such a street and read what is on a sign in front of that place." Snnford did so, and on the oral shaped sign ho saw picture of a finely dressed, prosperous looking man mounted on a magnificent horse and riding at full gallop.

Above the were the words, Going to law. The reverse side presented a somewhat different view. It was a picture of the same man, hut ragged as a tramp. His horse was a living skeleton, and the rider was not much better. The screed above the sign read, "Returning from the law." Sanford looked at the two pictures, pondered and went home.

Next day he went to his lawyer and requested him to withdraw tho suit, and tha case was compromised. As Sanford remarked, "I have helped to mate the fame and fortune of hundreds of minstrel performers, many of them no longer in that branch of the profession, but winning fame in other lines." He is encyclopedic in his knowledge of and acquaintance with actors and managers, and his fund of reminiscences concerning stars HkeEmmett and others contemporaneous with him proved intensely interesting. He has the minstrelsy business -at his fingers' ends, but the decadence of minstrelsy forced him off the stage, till now in his old age, though still of a vigorous physique, he sells electric "belts in country Allento-wn (Pa.) Chronicle. wrist Mr Johnstone, blindfolded, went behind the prescription case and first held up the prescription as if reading it. Mr.

Whitcomb had rend the prescription, and it was Mr. Johnstono's feat to follow the clerk's mind and find the bottles, the scales and other necessary articles and then weigh tho medicines and divide them in proper proportions. Mr. Johnstone first found the sal- ol bottle and set it down on the table. Then he picked out the other bottlo of powder from among hundreds of bottles on the shelves.

Next he found the scales, dusted them off, then placed thin tissue paper on them and adjusted them. Then he went to tt drawer and found the spatula and proceeded to weigh out the proper quantity of the two medicines, even adjusting tho delicate scales to a nicety. Now a little marble slab was wan t- ed on which the powder could be placed and divided into eight parts. For some reason Mr. Whitcomb happened to think of an old slab that had not been used for months, which ho knew was in a certain drawer.

Instantly Mr. Johnstone led the way to the drawer and found the old slab. Then he quickly poured the powder into a mortar -which ha found, and after stirring with the pestle placed the mixture on the slab and hy using the spatula divided it into eight powders, and the feat of mind reading was completed.

To them were born three sons and one daughter, the daughter having preceded her to the spirit world some eleven years.

S. II. BJXOAMOS, Chair. Com. Jamestown, 15, '95.

In a hotel not over 1,000 miles from Indianapolis there is a clerk who is very strict with the employees who come trader his orders and rules the bellboys and porters an iron hand. employees have come to understand his ways, and it is needless to remark that his orders are usually obeyed with alacrity. A large stovo heats the office during the -winter. The clerk had a habit of dispatching a boy after a bucket of coal and saying in a peremptory manner: "Jicarny, go out and gat a bucket of coal. Bring it in and sat it down." One cold day last winter he called one of the hoys up to his desk and said, gc and get aiucket of coal." In a few minutes the boy came lugging it in.

He walked up to the stove and stood there without placing the scuttle on the floor. The clerk looked nt him fiercely and exclaimed: "Well, what's the matter with yon?" The hoy hesitated; then looking at the clerk appealingly said, "Please, sir, shall set it down? Sentinel. sons vfho witnessed the performance were satisfied. Mr. Alexander, the druggist, said that no strange clerk could go behind the prescription case and find the articles needed and fill a prescription as quickly as did Mr.

Johnstone blindfolded. Every drug clerk has his own peculiarities and idiosyncrasies in filling a prescription. Mr. Johnstone so thoroughly read Clerk Whitcomb's mind that he followed tha latter's idiosyncrasies in handlirg the drugs and St. Louis with which to greet her friends on their arrival, when she said to her husband, I feel tired and will go in and lie down a bit and rest." After a short while he went into the room and asked how she felt.

She replied, I feel better now and somewhat rested." He sat down on a chair near by her when presently he noticed her clasp her hand to her heart and she was gone an instant, without a word or a move of a muscle. She was converted and united with the M. E. Church in-Jamestown, 0., under the partorate of Itev. Thomas Collett about the year 1835.

She always manifested a deep concern for the cause of Christianity and the success of the Church. She was seldom absent from the service in the sanctuary when health would permit. She was present Sabbath at her usual place of worship at Selma, and that evening and Monday evening attended service at the Disciples church, where she taught a class in the Sabbath school regularly. Her life bore the impress of a beautiful Christian character. In trial and bereavment she was calm and pathway brighter and brighter to the perfect day.

She was always ready with a kind word for all whom she met, ever found with an open baud toward the needy and distressed. She was loved and admired by all who knew her. But she has gone from us to the embrace of a host of loved ones on the other shore, leaving a husband and three sons to mourn her loss, but not without hope. J. N.
