THE PRESIDE A Rattled Woman in the White House —The President's Response. From the Chicago Chronicle. A lady who !s now visiting friends here lis a very amusing experience which happened when she was in Washington sc eral years ago and Mr. Cleveland was serv- ; ing his first term in the White House. She, with a large number of others, was at one of the tri-weekly presidential receptions, and, like some others, when she came to shake hands with the President got a trifle rattled and forgot the pretty speech she in- tended to deliver. Instead she grasped the President's hand, and, looking earnestly in his face, said: “How do you do, Grover?” She is a pretty woman, and the President is not averse to looking at a pretty woman and even squeezing her hand. He held on to her hand and looked in her face, which finally became scarlet, although rot refrain from laughing, especially as the President was laughing rather heartily himself. After waiting a few seconds, which seemed an hour to the lady, he re- plied: “I am very wel, indeed, and very happy to have met you.” With a courtly bow he released her hand and she passed on. “What on earth was the President saying to you, and what did you say to him?” inquired a lady who was just behind, but she never told—not for a long time. CALLS IT TREE MURDER. A Vigorous Protest Against the De- struction of Stately Pines. From the Magazine. Life in the pine forests of the great north- west is always full of interest. The big lumber camps comprise hundreds of men, and every year these hewers of wood and sawyers of logs cut down the timber .on thousands of acres of land in order to sup- ply the markets with lumber. The editor Northwest this work as “tree murder,” and describes the “murderous operation” as follows: “The stately trunks rise like a pillared cclonnade, ‘each fit to be the mast of some high admiral.’ The pine needles make an e.astic carpet underfoot, and the bright sun- light streams down through the ovenings of the forest, flecking the ground with patches of gold. The stalwart axmen select each his antagonist in this life-and-death duel The scanty brushwood is cleared. The axc gleam brightly in the air. The measure | strokes fall thick and fast, awaking strange | echoes in the dim and distant forest aisles. hite chips fly through the air, and wounds gape in the trunks of the | arcient pines. Now a venerable forest chiet shivers through his branches, sw; a moment in incertitude, like blind Ajax fi ht ing with his unseen foe, then, with a shud- dering groan, totters and reels crashing down, shaking the earth and air in his fall. As he lies there, a prostrate giant that wrestled with the storms of a hundred winters, felled by the hand of man in a sin- our, the act seems a sort of tree mur- America. oe Map of Nort! From Notes and Queries. I have lately, to my great surprise, met with a very interesting map of North and Central America, published in Paris in 1694, hanging on the bed room wall of an invalid cottager, formerly a farm laborer, to whom I go to read from time to time. It is in won- derfully good preservation, and the names are as legible as if they had been printed yesterday instead of 200 y ars: ago. Its title is in both Latin and Frenc merica Sep- tentrionalis in suas praecipuas partes di d usum Serenissimi Burgundiae Duci “Amerique Septentrionale divisee S principales parties. Presente a Monseigneur le Duc de Bourgogne Par son Tres-humb; et tres obeissa: Scruiteur, H.

It seems to be very accurate, considering its date, although !t looks strange enough cn comparing it with a moderf map of North America. I was much interested in finding myself almost at once on the track of Mil- ton—in * ‘totilande, ou Terre de Labora- dor" (see ‘Paradise Lost,” bk. x, 686). What is the derivation of otilande?” I do not see “Norumbega” marked, mentioned by Milton a few lines further on. Professor Masson says that ‘‘jorumbega, in old maps, is the part of the coast of the present United States nearest to Canada. In a note, how- ever, quoted in an earlier edition of Milton's | “Poems” «Sir Egerton Bry very different locality is as: bega; there it is stated to be a “province of the northern Armenia.” The map, with its margin, is nearly twenty-five inches long by twenty-one broad. ———--+e+- Restored to Duty.

B, MoOlellan Oomes to Take His Seat. His Political Apprenticeship in New York—His Tribute to Croker’s Leadership. Representative-elect George B. McClellan of New York has taken a house for his resi- dence during the sessions of Congress, being located at 1445 Rhode Island avenue. Mr. McClellan will represent a district of New York city, where he has been prominently identified with the Tammany organization. He will be one of the youngest men in the Fifty-fourth Congress, only one other mem- ber being his junior. He-is but twenty-nine years of age, but his election to Congress Was won by years of persistent and hard work for his party. A Tammany Apprenticeship. Mr. McClellan is a son of the famous gen- eral of the civil war whose name he bears. A graduate of Princeton College, he weut abroad for a year upon the close of his col- lege career, and, returning to New York city, at once became identified with Tam- many. He was then twenty-two years old, and he began his career as a democratic pol- George B. McClellan. iticlan as he would have started In any other profession. He started in by being a watch- er at the polls and by slow degrees worked his way up the ladder of Tammany prefer- ment, filling about every place in which members of that organization are called upon to serve, finally occupying some of the most important committee places within the gift of the organizatte: For a while he was acting mayor of New York city, aad his thorough training in the workings of the organization has made him familiar with every detail of such work. In appearance Mr. McCletlan might be taken for a member of a foot ball team who had discarded the business, cut and brushed his hair and left in the enjoyment of the vigorous health that comes from athletic training. As a matter of fact, his weight was not sufficient to admit him to the foot ball teams when he was at college, and he occupied himself with the lighter sports, making a reputation as a sprinter. Since his college days, however, he has added fifty pounds to his weight, and now tu the scales at 175 pounds. He is said to bear a striking resemblance to his father, Gen. George B. McClelian, though the latter was slighty taller than the young Congressman. Will Sujfport the Democratic Nominee To a Star reporter, who asked him what part the democrats of New York will play in the next presidential election, Mr. Me- Clellan said: “Tammany Hall will earnestly and vigor- ously support the candidate of the national democratic convention. If hard work and enthusiasm on the part of Tammany Hail can elect that nominee, he will be elected. In 1884 Tammany Hail elected President Cleveland. In 1888 Tammany Hall carried the city of New York for President Cleve- land by a large majority. President Cleve- land's election in 1892 was due to Tam- many Hall. Tammany went to Chicago pledged to Seuator Hill, and came back to New York, forgot its personal preferen: and made the greatest campaign in its his- tory for the democratic nominee. Mr. | Croker's action in at once giving his ener- getic support to Mr. Cleveland gave confi- dence to the party throughout the country and strengthened the waverers in all the doubtful states. Mr. Croker’s wise, bril- liant and masterly leadership in that cam- paign, more than anything else, resulted in the election of a democratic President.” “And who will be the choice of Tammany Hall for the presidency?” “This is the year of grace 1895, and the month of November. The election does not come off until the year of grace 1896. You #*. sée, it is not yet time to choose a demo- cratic candidate for the presidency. os = FUNERAL OF DR. SMITH. Eulogy Over the Remains of the Au- thor of “America.” The funeral services over the body of Rev. 8. F. Smith, D. D., the author of the hymn “America,” were held at the First Baptist Church at Newton Center, Mass., ‘Tuesday afternoon. Among those in at- tendance were representative Baptist min- isters, officials of the state and many prom- inent citizens. Throngs were unable to gain admittance. The eulogy was pronounced by Rev. A. H. Hovey, president of the Baptist Theological Institute. The floral tributes were many and very beautiful, the pulpit being completely buried beneath fully one hundred standing pieces. On the casket was a card inscribed with a poem entitled “Sum- mons and Responses,” written by S. F. Smith, jr. The pallbearers were S. F. Smith of Minneapolis, E. W. Smith of Chicago, F. W. White of Brooklyn, Evan Marsdon of Brooklyn and Jas. F. Norton of Boston. The following story of how “America” me to be written {s worthy of note. One dismal day in February, 1532, he was looking over some German music books when his attention drawn to a tune which was attractive by reason of its simple and natur- al movement. “Glancing at the words,” the doctor recently wrote, “I saw that’ they were patriotic, and I was instantly inspired to write a patriotic hymn of my own. Seiz- ing a scrap of waste paper, I began to write, and in half an hour, I think, the words stood upon it substantially as they are sung to- day. I did not know at the time that tho tune was the British ‘God Save the King.’ I do not share the regret of those who deem it an evil that the national tune of Britain and America !s the same. On the contrary, I deem it a new and beautiful tie of union between the mother and the daughter, one furnishing the ntusic (if, indeed, it is really English) and the other the words. “I did not propose to write a national hymn. I did not think that I had done so. I laid the song aside, and nearly forgot that I had made it. Some weeks later I sent it to Mr. Mason, and on the following Fourth of July, much to my surprise, he brought It out at a children’s celebration in Park Street Church, in Boston, where ft was first sung In public.” Might Have a National Convention. Judge John G. Long of Florida, a republi- can leader and member of the republican national committee, who hes large interests and spends much of his time in this city, is staying at the Hamiltcn. When questioned as to the probable location of the xational convention in 1896 he said that it is to be determined by the committee at Its meet- ing at the Arlington Hotel here the 10th ultimo. He added that if Washington pos- sessed a suitable hall for the purpose, and ber citizens stirred themselves, she could ur questionably have one or both of the na- tional ccnyentions next year. In his op’ ion, there was strong reason why the na- ticnal conventions of the two great parties should be held at the national capital, where they would be free from the local in- fluences and promoters of booms for par- ticular candidates in their respective locali- ties. + e+ ____ A Meteor Seen in Texas.

There are several of the latter on exhibition at the Field Colum- bia Museum in that very complete trans- portation exhibit which is Director Skiff's particular fancy. Like those that took part in the race, they bear a strong family like- ness to one another. Like them, their dif- ferences are rather in detail than in scheme, but are none the less marked. Any one of them could be made without infring- ing the others’ patents. It is safe to say that none of them have been patented in this country. The motive power is the same in all. It is not electricity, or even Steam. It is man. The first one the’ visitor notices as he turns into thé hall marked “Human Bur- then Bearers” is the horseless carriage as it exists in South America. It is a chair of the simplest possible construction, with the addition of a foot rest. The frame, though no one would guess it, is probably made of mahogany, for it comes from a country where the native, to the indignation of visi- tors, makes his snake fences—or whatever corresponds to them—of mahogany rails. The seat and back are of rawhide. This is stretched over them while still soft and damp and flexible with the life of its orig- inal owner. As it dries it shrinks until it is as taut as a drum head. A band of rawhide fs fastened to both sides of the back about six inches above the seat. This passes over the carrier’s forehead. Two more bands start at the seat itself and fas- ten about at the rung. Through these the buman motor slips his arms, 20 that the we-ght of the burden falls on the shoulders. A little further along is the palanquin in which Mrs. May French-Sheldon made her trip into the heart of Africa. It is a woven wicker affair, hardly of African construc- tion. We can well imagine that she made in it a sort of royal progress, leaving the unsophisticated blacks vastly impressed with her magnificence. In shape it is a short section of a cylinder, resting on its edge. The lower half is of basket work, supported by four strong wicker feet. It has a little door and seats like a carriage. Ach- ing over it to complete the circle is a cano- py of pale blue duck, with curtains to mateh, made glorious with gold fringes. It is the loveliest shade of robin’s-egg biue, and must have been vastly becoming te Mrs. French-Shekion’s copper-colored hair. Equally becoming, doubtless, was the pa! yellow silk with which canopy and curtains are I'ned. The big down cushions piled on the seats inside are covered with the same silk, and furnished with cord and tassels of a darker color. Lying among these, as if the owner had but just for a moment quitted her luxurious nest, is a white duck cap. Outside are strong iron supports and scekets intc which the poles fitted. Outside, swinging along under thee poles, were the savage black carriers, inside in her nest of yellow cushions the lady explorer. On the opposite aide of the hall, hanging high above the cases, are two samples of what Mrs. French-Shelion would have had to put up with had she relied on African home product in the line of palanquins. ‘The “maxilla” or carrying chair of Angola has a calico-covered canopy, edged with a valance about a foot deep. Under this can- opy passes a single heavy pole, its ends covered with buffalo hide, to which the fur still clings, probably for the comfort of the cerriers. | From it, suspended by ropes, swings a frame perhaps four feet long by two wide. Boards are nailed or rawhide stretched across this. At one end a back and arms add a little to the comfort of the unfortunate occupant, who apparently sways and jolts along, seated flat as on the floor, his feet stretched straight in front of him—a position which must, in a short time, become intolerab‘e. In Madagascar they do things a little bet- ter. Their horseless carriage is a rough sort of hammock chair, covered with thi Madagascar grass curtain with which the dry goods stores have of late years made us familiar. Below it swings a foot rest. Over- head, protecting the occupant from the trepic sun, is an arrangement not unillil the hood of a buggy, covefed with dirty white canv The whole is set between two poles, after the fashion of a Turkish sedan chair, And so, after all, in the horseless car- riage we are returning to first principles, with a difference, of course, even with a great many and very great difference: But the fact remains that, though the motocycle may be a new thing under the sun, the horseless carriage is not. ——+e+—_____ USING HOGS TO DIG GOLD. The Ingenuity of a Western Man,Who Had Those Animals Do His Work. From the San Francisco Pust. “I was riding through the mountains in Trinity county a few days ago,” sald a prominent mining man yesterday, “when I happened to take a trail that leads by old ‘Burlap’ Johnson's cabin. You know, he has always been called ‘Burlap’ Johnson be- cause he was never known to wear a pair of boots, but always kept his feet sewed up in burlaps like canvas-packed hams. I took dinner—cold corn bread and bacon—with him, and then sat down for a smoke. “‘Wouldn’t you jest as soon do your smoking outside, podner?” he asked. “ ‘Certainly,’ said I, ‘but you don’t object to the smoke of a cigar, do you?” I was nat- urally surprised, for he was always puffing away at an old corncob pipe. “‘No, of course not, seein’ as I've smoked nigh onto fifty years, but I keep my hogs at work.” “My curiosity was aroused, but I sald nothing. He took down a double-barreled muzzle-loading shotgun and his powder horn. Then he went to a shed and got a pan of shelled corn. He sat down on a bench at the cabin door, ramed down a couple of charges of powder, and poured a handful of corn into each barrel. He put on a percus- sion cap, pressed it down with the hammer, cocked both barrels and blazed away at the side hill across the lttle gulch. The roar bad not died away until a drove of hogs came running, grunting and squealing and commenced to root the side hill for the corn. Whenever they slacked up in their work the old man fired another charge of trick,’ said I. ‘Why them in a trough? “Feed it to "em? he repeated in amaze- ment. “Then they wouldn’t work. Be- sides, they don’t need it.’ “What do you want to make them work for, and w do you waste corn on them if they don’t need it?” “Why, man alive, they do as much work as four men would. They root up the dirt, and when the rain comes I sluice it.” “Then I understood that he was using the hogs to help him mine.” soe No Action Likely at Present. It is not likely that the Navy Depart- ment will take any action regarding the charges against Commander Folger, grow- ing out of his connection with the Harvey Steel Company, until Commander Folger, don’t you feed it to who is in Japan, returns to the United His present leave of absence does xpire until December 7 next, after which he will, under present orders, “pros ceed home.”
