ornaments of solid gold, including a ;

the rank of major-general. The figure
of a mounted cavalryman is on the
guard and at the end of the same is i

Miss Annie Wheeler, daughter of
Gen. Wheeler, will go to”Manila as a
volunteer nurse under the patronage
of the most prominent women philan-
thropists of the country, and will also
have the support of women’s patriotic
organizations. Individual members
and state chapters of the Daughters
of the American Revolution are pre-i
.paring to gather supplies for American'
soldiers in Philippine hospitals to’ be
distributed under Miss Wheeler's di-
rection. Miss Wheeler is making prep-
arations for her voyage to Manila. Dur-
ing her stay at the capital a beautiful
jewel casket was presented to her in
the name of the women of Montgom-
ery. Ala., in testimony of their love and
admiration and in recognition of. the
services rendered by her to Alabama
soldiers during the war with Spain.
The gift was purchased with money
contributed through a’* committee of
which Mrs. F. H. Elmore was chair-
man. It was originally* intended that
the presentation should take place in
Montgomery, but this plan was aban-
doned on account of. Miss Wheeler’s
pressing engagements in the north.

about for a new barber. He remember-

ways sought in the Ebbitt House shop
when he was a member of Congress.
This barber was in his mind when Mr.
McKinley first came to Washington,
but not desiring to disturb ahy of the
established institutions at the white
house, he continued Lemas as his pre-
decessors had done.
The new man is Henry Wilson, a
colored man. 4S years of age, tvho was
employed at the Ebbitt Hous* barber
shop for twenty years, and who for the
l^st six years has been the proprietor
of his own shop. He has already cut
the president’s hair and removed the
presidential whiskers, and is elated at
the honor of serving the pres dent of
