E, : Washington representatives of W.H.READ ZLDRUG AND CHEM. CO., Balto, Md. | It Ba as Sn a a a A Street Arab Becomes a Governor. From the New York Times. The limitless possibilities of American lfe are well illustrated by the career of John Green Brady, who was recently ap- pointed and, confirmed governor of Alaska. He was born in this city and in what is now called the Tenderloin district. He knew neither parents nor relatives, and was a veritable strect Arab. In 1860 a society was organized to care for homeless waits, and little “Jack” Brady, with a number of others, was put in a car and taken to In- diana, where they were given to anybody who would take them. When the car ar- rived at Tipton and a number had been passed off, a certain Judge John Green, then a prominent citizen of that city, went to the car and called for the “ugliest, rag- gedest, and most friendless” of the lot. ‘The manager of the boys presented “Jack.” The judge was at first inclined to refuse to receive him, but finally took him home and presented him to his wife. She was morti- fied and chagrived, but after washing up the boy she thought she might learn .to love him. Jack” appreciated his new home and spent his leisure in study. After a few years he was graduated from the Tipton schools. The judge then sent him to Wevelaha College, and afterward to Harvard. After his graduation he was sent to Great Britain, where he took a theolog- ical course and returned to Tipton in 1876. He was sent to Alaska in 1877 as a mis- slonary by the Presbytertan’ Church. He became interested in the new territory, and in 1881 returned to the states, bringing with him many specimens of gold and silver rock, and told of its wonderful re- sources. Prospectors and capitalists be- came interested, and a rapid growth in Kopulation is the result. He gave a great deal of information on Alaskan resources for the census reports of 1890, end was one of the territorial commissioners under the Harrison administration. ———-e+—____ Teaching Daughters to Shop. — From the Boston Herald, A practical mother has taught her daugh- ter how to shop. It takes costly experience often to show women the pitfalls of the shops. The staples of dry goods, house- keeping linens, blankets, regular grades of dress g00ds, as serges, flannels and the like, the long list of white goods—all such and many more have distinctive character- istics, useful knowledge of which should be. acquired before attempts to purchase are made. The rage among women for “bar- gains” tempts even the most reputable merchants to keep “seconds” in stock. It is valuable to know them at sight. and to reject or accept them, as may seem ex- Pedient. ’ City “first-class American by an expert,” ig, advertised cents a pound wholesale retail respectively. In Mexico butter. made at 50 and 56 and AT THE WHITE HOUSE The President Desires His Canton Visit to Bo a Quiet One. THE NEXTIMNMUGRATION COMDISIONER Colored Aspirants for Places in the Diplomatic Service. THE INTERNAL REVENUE For the sake of suffering and sweltering office-seekers, Secretary Porter today had two electric fans placed in the big hall- way, where White House callers congre- gate to wait for a word with the President or secretary. The act was not done too soon, as the office portion of the execu- tive mansion was crowded. For the first time in a long time the President saw and talked with the crowd which waits for ad- mission to him at noon. 5 The President had a busy day from the opening. He saw many congressmen ard talked for an hour with Secretary Alger, and then spent an hour with about cne hundred office-seekers who are not so for- tunate as to have congressional backing to accompany them. The visit of Secretary Alger was to com- municate to the President a telegram from Brigadier General Coppinger regardirg the attitude of the Bannock Indians. ‘The President today received a telegram from Canton that his friends and neigh- bors there are preparing a demonstration when he arrives there to spend his Fourth of July holiday. The President wired back his appreciation, but expressed the hope that he would be allowed to quietly spend his vacation. Civil Service Reorganization. It is officially stated today that the Pres- ident has the civil service and the civil service commission under consideration and is giving to both subjects a great deal of thought. That he will make changes in the commission is not denied. How soon the President wi!l act is a matter of specula- tion. The story in The Star yesterday that Capt. Tonner of Canton is to become chair- man of the commission is not denied and excites general interest. Commissioner of Immigration. The President dropped a hint today which does not indicate that either T. V. Powder- ly or ex-Representative Kiefer will be- come commissioner of immigration, but in- dicates that a new man will win. Wm. G. Edens of Galesburg, Ill, is said to be favorably considered. He was a promi- nent McKinley adherent in the nominating campaign last year, and was backed by National Committeeman Dawes, Judge Cal- houn and others. His name was some time ago withdrawn for a position for which he was applicant, and then he became an applicant for com- missioner of navigation. It was for this position that he called upon the President today in comiany) with Senator Cullom. His friends urge him as a good man for commissioner gf immigration. Mr. Edens is a prominent, official of the Brotherhood of Ra‘lroad Trainmen, and is well known and popular in labor circles. The President, itis said, desires to ap- peint a represeatative of the laboring men to this place, and was anxious to befriend T. V. Powderly, byt the protests against Powderly from’ lahor organizations have Leen sc great ‘as td be detrimental to his chances. Coléred’ Aspirants. Cyrus F. Adams,,the prominent colored Chicago politician, who wants to be min- ister to Bolivia, spoke.to the President today about his case, but received no as- strances. Adams speaks four languages, and is one of the most accomplished rep- resentativeg Of: his race. M. W. Lawson,’ a colored republican of Texas, was pushed by his friends today for minister to Liberia. PD. R. Stokes, colored, is in charge: of his case. Representatives Payne and Dalzell, Hou leaders, had a conference with the Pres! dent this afternoon, and later Chairman Cannon of the House appropriations com- mittee, talked wich the President. President McKinley has granted a par- don to Charles R. Fleischman of Illinois, sentenced in December of last year to five years in the Milwaukee house of correc: tion for embezzling funds of the National Bank of Illinois. Internal Revenue Commissioner. N. B. Scott of West Virginia, who has been selected for commissioner of internal revenue when the appointment is made, has told the President that he will go abroad with his family in a few days, to be absent during the summer, and has re- quested that the appointment shall not be made until the Agt of December. This course is to be taken and Mr. Foreman of Hilnois will remain in offize until that time. The Key West Collectorship. Some of the Florida politicians, who are in the city are aroused over statements about the Key West collectorship. One thing which excites thelr ire more than anything else is the charge that National Committecman Long. has formed a combi- nation with his old-time opponents for the disposition of the Key West office. H. 8. Chubb, one of the Florida leaders who has come ‘on here, emphatically denies that he and others of his faction are supporting John F. Horr for collector, as against George W. Allen. Mr. Allen is said to have the indorsement of a majority of the Gunby faction, to which Mr. Chubb belongs, while Mr. Horr has the indorse- ment of cnly one of the Gunby men. Mr. Chubb dinies that Naticnal Commit- teeman Leng has formed a combination with the Gunby people in this matter or any other. He says that Judge Long has taken the position that both factions in Florida shall be recognized, that the party may be united and harmonious. Judge Long's position is approved by all except a few republicans, who desire to dictate the distribution of offices, he said. ‘The supporters of Mr. Horr say that he was the original McKinley man of Florida, while Mr. Allen was strong for Morton. They also say that National Committeeman Long was the true and tried friend of Mc- Kinley. n ‘The Horr people aiso attack J. N. Strip- ling, who is one of the leading sup- porters of Mr. Allen. Mr. — Strip- Iing’s own congressional district, they say, has passed resolutions indorsing the hot orable position of Judge Long. ‘They de- clare that Judge Long will be upheld by the President and py his party in Florida. t= > THE DREM.ON SHIPBOARD. au = Important Part in the Plays sa Da Routine of Duty. “The Last of the"Drums,” is the title of an article written .py Licut.

There is the cafe of the Black Cat in Paris,there is Monsieur Begue’s in New Or- leans! Not to have breakfasted in either of these haunts is not to have been one of the inner circle, the choice spirits of Bo- hemia. . It is in the very heart of the French quarter, this shrine of the gourmets. The door is always open. There is a clatter of knives and forks, for the 11 o'clock breakfast has already be- gun, and you hear the accompaniment of nasal French like the pizzicato of many violins. The first course is salad, a cool and slip- Pery mess immersed in a ravishing sauce; then there is red fish with—surely it is garlic! But the cook denies it! The guests fight it out among themselves. Then there is omelette a la Burbank; the waiter giri bears it in triumphantly on a huge platter and places it before our host. Parsley, sweetbreads, what is there not in this huge creature, light as a feather, yellow as gold? Every one must praise the omelette. That is one of the sacred duties of the oc- casion. Liver, thick as steak, dish fit for the gods! With this is served red peppers, which Monsieur Begue hands around him- self, with great gusto and delight. He seems to be specially proud of being able to swallow a large, two-inch chunk of it himself. He has no rivals in the feat. It reminds one of the story of, was it Stock- ton? more like Field, who, as each course grew hotter than the one that had preceded it, remarked gaspingly as he gulped down the last, that he left as if he had swal- lowed a whole torchlight procession. At which Monsieur Begue chuckled audibly ee delight. hen there is bifstek, tender as an in- fant’s smile, with radishes and olives, and, of course, throughout the meal, wine ga- lore. It is claret mixed with apollinaris, twenty-one quart bottles on the table at the end, but what proportion of apollinaris and what proportion of wine deponent telleth not. The bread, too, is in glorious proportions, each cut half a yard long. Lastly are brought on the funny little A. B. C. plates for fruit, which have caused more than one guest of formerly unim- peachable repute to break a command- ment in the decalogue. With the fruit is Passed two varieties of cheese, each louder than the ether, botn clarion toned. To cap all the cafe brulant, hottest, most flaming torch in the procession. Monsieur Begue has a big bowl to himself and presides over the central incantation and the white rib- bon lady from Hartford remarks ruefully as she partakes of the fiery beverage that she’s afraid the coffee alone is strong enough liquor to make her forfeit her mem- bership in the W. C. T. U. ——___++_____ Chirography of the Presidents. From the St. Louls Republic. The chircgraphy of the Presidents from Washington down to McKinley is as’ dif- ferent as the chirography of the same number of any other men chosen at ran- dom from the various walks of life. Stu- dents of character contend that there are Many points of similarity in the mental make-up and equipment of our Presidents, but If there are they are certainly not shown in the handwriting of these men. Of the entire lot I suppose old Zachary Taylor wrote the worst kand. I have seen rumerous letters of his which I am con- fident no human being could read. It w: cramped and awkward, like that of a boy just learning to write. Jefferson wrote a plain, flowing hand, and Morroe’s writing was decidedly feminine, though not nearly sc much so as Grover Cleveland's, whose chirography is small and delicate. Jack- son's scrawl tespcke a nervousness and timidity of which nobody dared to accuse him while he was on the earth, and Lin- coln’s a smooth polish, which ‘his crude, simple mind did not hespeak. Of all our chief magistrates McKirley writes the best hand, and his chirography shows a pains- taking ease and caution which are evident- ly the domirant factcrs of the man’s char- acter. ——__+e- Ivy Spoiled the Honeymoon. From the New York Sun. Jasper Hewitt Conkling, a young school principal, and his bride, formerly Miss Ellen Jarvis, arrived at Fluteville, Conn., last week on their wedding tour from Philadelphia. They took quarters at a summer hotel on the Farmington river, Kept by Charles Maspeth, and intended to spend the season there. A few days ago Lendlord Maspeth spread a half dozcn new hammocks under the trees on nis lawn for the use of his guests, and the bride and groom appropriated two of them to their own use. On Wednesday they de- termined to decorate their hammocks with the shining leaves of a beautiful pea-green vine which they found in the woods. The couple spent the best part of half a day in tearing up qvantities of the vine and weaving it into the meshes of their ham- hocks. Then they reclined amid the pol- ished leaves. They were thoroughly hap- py, when some country-wise person no- {iced the vine they had twined in their hammocks was poison ivy. A hurry call from the two hammocks was sounded and the couple were treated to liberal quantities of cooling lotions, but apparently to no purpose, for within a few hours both Mr. Corkling and his wife ex- hibited symptoms of severe poisoning. The eyes of the bridegroom were almost closed by inflammation, which also involved his heed and neck, and the hands of the bride are covered with the poison blotches. Everything porstble was done for the re- Nef of the young couple, but their euffer- ings became so intense that they found it necessary to abandon the honeymoon and go home for mecical treatmen: ———-2-____ She Saved the Declaration of Inde- pendence. From the Ladies’ Home Journal. It was then, just as she was in the act of hurrying away, that Dolly Madison was seized with an inspiration that will ever cause her name to live in the heart of every true American. She stopped to think. What if the White House should be burned? Did it contain anything of value to the govern- ment that she had neglected? The Dec- laration of Independence? In a flash-she called to’ mind this most precious of all documents. Carefully treasured in a oase apart from the other papers it had been overlooked in. the worriment and confuston. It must be saved at all hazards! Without @ moment's hesitation she turned and rusa- ed back into the house. “Stop! for heaven's sake, stop!” cried her friends, vainly en- deavoring to intercept her. Regardless of their commands, regardless of her danger, the brave woman sped to the room contain- ing the treasure for which she was willing to sacrifice her life. Without attempting to open the glazed door of the case she shat- tered the glass with her clenched hand, snatched the priceless parchment, and waving it exultantly above her head, hur- ried to the door, where she entered her car- riage and was rapidly driven away in the direction of Georgetown. ——— or —_____ Identical Motives, From ths Chleago Times-Herald- Last winter, when the Indian foot bail team from Carlisle, Pa., came to. Chicago to wipe up the gridiron with their paleface brethren from Wisconsin- University, the copper-colored visitors received a great deal of attention at the hands of the young women students of Dr. Harper's school.

The organization and development of in- tercollegiate athletics now absorb much of the energy that used to be given to the furious internecine warfare of classes.
