PERSONALS 
ftti.srcUHnfou.s! ^dmtijsing, 
Ex-Governor St. John, according to Neal 
Dow, received $50 per night for his campaign 
work in Maine, 
Excepting only the sprained leg, which he 
is still unable to use, Senator Evarts has al¬ 
most entirely recovered from his recent acci¬ 
dent while driving. 
Lewis Apple, editor of a weekly paper at 
Panora, Iowa, bought flowers at the State 
Fail - to decorate his grave, and on reaching 
home killed himself with a revolver. 
"Extra Billy” Smith, twice Governor of 
Virginia, reached his 00th birthday last week. 
He is still quite active, physically and men¬ 
tally, and daily walks to Warrenton, Va., a 
distance of nearly a mile. 
WBITELaw Reid and his fatber-in-law, D. 
O. Mills, have been surveying the Owens 
River Valley, in California, near Reno, with 
a view to taking up 20,000 acres of land for a 
wine and grape-growing colony. 
Charles Monelcey. inventor of the Monckey 
wrench (ignorantly called the monkey- 
wrench). is living in poverty in Brooklyn. 
He sold the patent for $2,000, and now mil¬ 
lions are made annually out of the invention. 
Senator Edmunds’ check for $50, accom¬ 
panied by a very sympathetic letter, has been 
received by the Charleston relief committee. 
He Mill have a "walk over” in Vermont in 
his canvass for the United States Senator- 
ship. 
Guerdon S. Hubbard, the oldest resident 
of Chicago, and one of the first of the white 
pioneers to visit the present site of the city, 
died there last Tuesday. He landed there in 
1818, and resided there almost continuously 
ever since. 
Patsky Collins, while shovelling grain in 
the top of a big Niagara Falls flour mill, fell 
into the hopper, slid for 80 feet through a 
spout eight by ten inches in size, and shot out 
unhurt, with six tons of grain, into a car 
standing on the track below. 
Ex-Postmaster Thomas L. James applied 
for membership in a young men’s Prohibition 
Club, of New York, Tuesday evening, and 
was rejected. He had signed the call for the 
Republican Anti-saloon Convention at Bing¬ 
hamton, and that was futal to bis reputation 
as a Prohibitionist. 
Gen. W. T. Shermau, wife, daughter and a 
young son have come to New York to live 
permanently. The General’s health is good, 
but he dosen’t seem as lively as formerly, and 
some attribute his failing to disappointment 
because his eldest son, Thomas Ewing Sher¬ 
man, has become a priest. A high political 
career was expected for the brilliant young 
man, who lias just been appointed Professor 
of Rhetoric in the Jesuit College at Detroit. 
James G. Bjaine, Jr., aged {JO, youngest 
son of the Ex-Senator, married without pater¬ 
nal consent, the other day; but was readily 
forgiven and assigned, on dit , $1,800 a year 
to live upon. He will probably go into busi¬ 
ness and thus add to his income. His wife 
was a Miss Nevins, and is a grandchild of 
Samuel Medary, who was Territorial Govern¬ 
or of Minnesota and of Kansas. She was 
educated at u convent in Cincinnati, has rare 
musical and dramatic talents, and is repre¬ 
sented as exceptionally beautiful. 
The other day Geo. Gould. 24, eldest son and 
business representative of Jay, married Miss 
Edith Kingdon, an actress just returned from 
Europe, at his father’s fine place at Irvington- 
on-the-Hudson. She has been on the stage 
about four years, and her real name is Adams. 
Has always borne an excellent reputation, 
anil is a very handsome woman of about 22. 
George has continued steadily at work in his 
father’s office here, right along. He is quite 
wealthy himself, and the “old man" is said to 
have settled ujHm him “enough to live quite 
comfortably,” 
M. Che vbaul, President of the National 
Agricultural Society of France for many 
years, celebrated bis hundredth birthday the 
other day, and is still hale and hearty. Few 
have done so much for French agriculture 
and for various brunches of science. He says 
longevity is hereditary in his family for gen¬ 
erations past, His father lived to the age of 
81 anil his mother to that Of OH. He has long 
adjured alcohol and tobacco, preferred 
chicken to any other meat, bathed much in 
cold water, used tea and coffee with modera¬ 
tion, gone to bed early, and walked out-doors 
daily in ull weathers. He attended the theat¬ 
rical performance given in Paris in honor of 
his 100th birthday—the first play he had seen 
for 20 years.
