——— 2 w5 iy - e M. ... o THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER NGER SIDE OF PUBLIC LIFE Reminiscences of Notables Related by Adlai Stevenson, SELECTIONS FROM LARGE STOCK Pablic Men of Other Days Reeslled by Characteristio Incldents, from Flashing Wit to Scorche ing Irony, Almost fifty of the seventy-four years Spanning the life of Hon. Adlal Ewing Stevenson of Illinols have been spent in public activities, and manw of them In public office. He was a master in chan- cery at 25, later a dlstrict attorney, then a member of congress, chlef headsman In the Postoffice department during Cleveland's first term, vice president of the United States during Cleveland's see- ond term, and Bryan's running mate in the 1900 campaign. Necessarily he rubbed elbows with all classes of public men and acquired a store of intimate anecdotes and Incidents which are entertainingly told in “Something of Men I Have Known," a work written by Mr. Stevenson and pub- lished by A. C. McClurg & Co. of Chicago. Mhny of the reminiscences bear an orig- inal label, some exhale the atmosphere of the newspaper morgue, but all are in- ested with the personal relation and a of friendliness throughout. A few peciments follow Blaine’'s Surprise. As a member of the Forty-fourth con- gress Mr. Stevenson thus first met G. Blaiper vy seat was that of Mr. Blaine. W} handed him letters of two of his college classmates, the Hon. Robert E. Williams and the Rev John Y. Calhoun. After reading the letters and Pgaking most kindly of his old Washing- an colle classmates he brusquely in- ghired, “What are John Y.

When we were in college together ‘alhoun was the strongest kind of a Presbyterian.” 1 intmated that his sometime clagsmato was still of that eminently respectable persuasion. The reply was, in a manner Indicating apparent surprise: “Is It pos- gible that out in your country a man can be a Presbyterian and a democrat at the same time? Traits of W. R.

Well, if Springer and Cox and Knott and Stevenson want to talk let them go ahead, but If old Spears tries to speak just cough him down." And this: Never in any political gathering has ere been a more effective speech, of a sentence, than that in which Morrison presented to the demo- icus of the house members the me of the blind preacher for chaplain. Three or four candidates were already in womination when Morrison arose and sald Mr. Chairman, I present for the office of chaplain of the house the name of Dr. Milburn, @ man who loves God, pays his debts, and votes the demoeratic ticket Before the pplause that followed tirely died away the names petitors w » withdrawn, vreacher w nominated by acclamation. © About Blackburn, n glves these two anecdotes Blackburn, the honey-tongued of Kentucky Upon the occasion of the retirement of the Rev. Dr. Butler from the chaplaincy of the senate—a position he had filled most acceptably for many years—many of he senators spoke regretfully of his retire ment The speech of Mr. Blackburn, for beauty of expression and pathetic elo- ivalled. He spoke most venerable man of God; how for long years he had gone in and out before us; of hi daily walk and con- versation; how, like the Blessed Master, §* onlx thought was of doing good; of how h* had often Invoked the Divine blessing upon us and our-loved ones, and lifted us, an it were, In His arms up to the very throne of grace. The orator seemed in- gpired, though his lips were fouched with a live coal from the altar. The counterpart of the scene that fol- lowed his closing words had never been witnessed In legislative assembly. All were in tears. It was even sald that venerable senators, who had never shed a tear since the ratification of the treaty of Ghent, actually sobbed aloud and refused to be comforted. At length, amid sllence that h could be felt, an adjournment wes effected and the senators passed sadly oht to thelr homes. As he passed the chair, Senator Vest, in an undertone remarked to the vice president, “Jo never saw him!" he next day, in the absence of his sue- essor, “the blind chaplain, Dr. Butler \gain and for the last time officiated, sim- ply repeating In a manner most solemn ind Impressive, the Lord's Prayer. At its conclusion, Senator Blackburn, been a most attentive listened, came for- ward to the desk and remarked to Vice President Stevenson: [ tell you, sir, I like that new chaplain of owrs.

The members especially interested in its pas- | sage, to make assurances doubly sure, had | quietly inserted a provision for the erec- | tion of a government bulldigg in one of the cities of Holman's district. When the bill was read, Judge Holman as he sat busily writing at his desk, was, | without solicitation on his part, the closely | observed of every member. Apparently ob- livious, however, to all that was occurring. he continued to write. No objection being made, fhe bill was in the very act of passing, when an exceedingly bright mem- ber from Wisconsin, *'being moved and in- stigated by the devil,” no doubt, rushed | to the front and exclaimed: “Mr. Speaker, 1 desire to call the atten- tion of the gentleman from the Fourth dis- trict of Indiana to the fact that the treas- ury is being robbed!” Unmoved by the appeal the judgs continued to write, and one of his colleagues afterward | marked, “was chewing tobacco very fine. After a moment of suspense and amid ap- plause, In "\II(C)I even the galleries took part, the member from Wisconsin in tragic tones exclaimed: “Ah! Mr. Speaker, our watchdog of the treasury, like all other good watchdogs, never barks when his friends are around! A Convention Inclden “Has there ever?' asked Mr. Stevenson, speaking of former Representative Jame: A. McKenzie of Kentucky, “been a more telling two-minute speech than that of | | McKenzie In the national convention of | 1892, when he arose to sgeond the nomina- tion of Cleveland?" After a night of intense excitement, the convention was still in ses- sion at 3 o'clock i the morning. A storm | was raging without, while within thous- ands in the great hall were Impatiently and loudly demanding an immediate vote. More than one of the chief orators of the party—men well known to the country— had in vain attempted to be heard. Chaos seemed to have come again at the crucial moment that McKenzie, gtanding upon his chair in the center enclosure, began: “If 1 speak longer than two minutes I 1 hope that some honest, half drowned democrat will suspend my carcass from one of the crossbeams of this highly ar- tistic, but terribly leaky auditorium. Cleveland needs no nomination from this convention. He has already been nominated by the people all along the lne—all the | way from Hell Gate to Yuba Dam!" Dounelly Hushed. Mr. Stevenson relates how Ingatius Don- of Minnesota, a member of congress at the time of the Shakespeare-Bacon con- troversy, met the famous Colonel Winter- smith on Pennsylvania avenue, After a cordial greeting the colonel re- marked, "I have been reading your book, Donnelly, and I don't belleve a word of it." What?" inquired Donnelly, with great surprise. “Oh, that book of yours,” said the colonel, “In which you tried to prove that Shake- speare never wrote ‘Hamlet' and ‘Macbeth’ and ‘Lear' and all those other plays.” “My dear sir.”" replied Donnelly with Breat varnestness, ‘I can prove beyond all peradventure that Shakespeare never wrote those plays," ‘He did,” replied Wintersmith, “he aid | write them, Donnelly. 1 suw him write three or four of them myself! “Impossible!” exclaimed Donnelly, who was as guiltless of anything that savored of humor as the monument recently erected to the memory of the Hon. John Sherman. “Impossible, colonel, that you could have seen Shakespeare write those plays; they were written 300 years ago." | “Three hundred years, three hundred | vears,” slowly murmured the colonel in a | pathetic tone, “is it possible that it has | been 0 long? Lord, how time does fly!" | “Sweet AlL Ben Bolt.” A touching scene accurred in the house | of representatives a number of years ago |when an aged member from New Jersey arose and for the first time addressed the speaker. All eyes were turned In the speaker. Al eyes were turned in his | direction as he stood calmly awaiting recognition. He was tall, spare and erect. His venerable appearance and kindly ex- pression coupled with most courteous man- ners at once commanded attention. As in husky tones he again said, “Mr. Speaker!" | there came from the furthest end of the great hall In a whisper, but distinctly hea by all, the words, “Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt." A moment later and from the floor |and gallery many voices blended in the | familtar refrain. “Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?" | The ovation which immediatiey followed was such as s rarely witnessed in the great hall. Business was suspended for the moment and the hand of the new member warmly grasped by the chosen representa- tves of all parties and sections. It was an Inspiring tribute, one worthily bestowed. | The member was Thomas Dunn Engiish, author of the little poem, sung in palace |ana cottage, which has found its way into | all languages and touchea all hearts. | | PRATTLE OF THE YOUNGSTERS. | —— | ‘Teacher—What is the shortest tween two given points? } Bright Pupll-A rallway line on its own | maps. | | tirst and let line be- Mamma—Edgar, you bad boy, you have | made & grease spot on the new sofa with | your bread and butter!

HAVE LITERATURE Is Holland Genuine or Me of an Industrious Tourist Agent? —Search for Quaint at Mar- ken and Volendam. Holland tourist The question whether or not is “framed up” for the American is one as to which there is really no middie ground. One must elther stand firmly by that Holland 1s absolutely lMef that the Holland the traveler sees ia & product of the Industrious tourist agent, who, seeing the success of his business jeoparded by the steady disappearance of the “quaint old Holland” dear to the traveler, has made systematic and it must be admitted skilful offorts to preserve such parts of it as most conveniently serve his purpose of personal character. Two American girls undertook & Bu- ropean trip Jast summer with the intention of settling the vexed question once and forever. They had spent soul wearing evenings while their more traveled friends waxed bitter over the discussion and they had been bored to polite tears while the adherents of the two schools poured their arguments Into the indifferent ears. They found their tople of conversation so seri- ously curtalled that the cost of & trip to Europe to decide the matter seemed a cheap price to pay for the restoration of their socal prestige. Their approach to Holland was from the south. The landscape interested them, but did not divert them from their purpose Although they had never seen a flat green country guarded by dykes and dotted with windmills, they at least knew that they were gcing to see one. Dog Carts Old Story. At Dordrecht and at Delft the canals interested them because they were Dutch canals, though for beauty and charm they ald not compare with those left behind at Bruges, where the trees on the banks often met overhead and vines and flowers reached to the water itself and spread a mat of blossoms over its sluggish surface. They refused to be excited by dogs draw ing low carts with shining brass milk cans —they had too many post card plctures of such things to be stirred by the actuality— and they refused to be excited by the gen- eral shininess of windows, door knobs and door steps. They admitted, however, that only in Holland would one be apt to see the sidewalk in front of each house care- fully railed in to prevent it being soiled by the feet of passersby. But these thin canals and c| nliness, were not what they had come to Holland for. They were admitted by every traveler The field of controversy still lay before them. They did their duty by Rotterdam, by the pictures and the funny little palaces of The Hague, and by the galleries of Amsterdam. Once in Amsterdam the real bone of con- tention was 80 near at hand that not even the galleries could hold them long. For Volendam and the island of Marken were but a few hours distant, and the answer to the question that had bothered them for veary only awalted the departure of the boat next morning. Porters, Publicity Agents. ven before they left the hotel thay began taking evidence. They noted with what zeal the porter urged the tickets on them and how well supplied he was with literature, printed in every known language apparently, setting forth the points of the trip. On the drive to the boat they observad the large number of places that offered the tickets for sale, and as they neared the water they saw no less than a dozen ex- cursion steamers of various sizes starting at various hours, managed by varfous com- panies, but each announcing with a large English sign that it supplied the very best and most comfortable way to reach the “quaint and characteristic” Volendam and Marken. “It certainly seems as though It were a profitable business,” remarked the older sister judicially as they jolned the crowd pushing on to thelr particular boat and looked about for seats. “There, 1 knew you would be prejudiced at the first,” replied the younger sister, whose enthusiasms were rarely tempered by circumstances. “You must keep an open mind and not reach a declsion until all the evidence s in." The boat was crowed chiefly with Americans, with just enough Germans, French and English to add gayety to the occasion. As the boat made several stops before it reached Marken, and as the American girls felt no stern sense of duty until they arrived there, they were able to enjoy their fellow travellers. The Girl From Missouri. Thelr first acquaintance was an American girl who added to her statement that she was from Missouri & joke, “You may think that's but it ain't.” She told them in ¥ Produet |10 e breath that her family didn't want to g0 o Kurope, but she thought | made a person seem so refined to have {travelled. Then she asked them if they wore black because thoy were in mourn- ing or becau it was cheap, and what they thought of Europe, and ended by assuring | them that she was sure they a dif- | terent age from the looks | The retining etfect of E iropean travel became further apparent when shortly after o'clock a large German family com- plaining to one another that they had had no food since an § o'clock breakfast |opened a huge hamper and began to eat all over end of the boat and also over such excursionists as happened to be in their vicinity 8o occupled this family that they were unable to tear them- selves away from thg hamper to walk | through the village where the boat stopped {to permit its passengers to visit a cheese | tactory. | The arrival at Marken was enlivéned [ by the efforts of a middle aged French- man and his callow son to introduce the mother and the daughter of the party to leave the boat and walk about there. The | women wore long trailing velvet dresses, |enormously high heeled plumed | hats and exactly three vells aplece. They had read novels steadily pm the moment they got on the boat, and the discussion as to their leaving it Involved many detalls, A High Heeled French Girl. The girl finally permitted herselt to be taken ashore on the condition that she be allowed to finish her novel without interruption upon her return. The mother removed all her vells, powdered her face, replaced her veils, assured her family that no one but fools would be in such a place when they might have been at Trouville, and refused to budge from the chair she had taken earller in the day. | And so the American girls reached Marken. The wind swept the little island | enclosed with dykes, the low crowded up houses, the huddle of dark sailed fishing boats around the wet, slipper landing were genuine enough and different enough to convince the most doubtful A crowd of children awaited the trav- ers and flocked in front and behind them as they started on their walk around | the island. Those who hadn't something to mell extended a ready palm. A shake of the head from the travelers brought forth a wide grin and the good American idlom Nothing doing.” Tt was the sum total of Marken's knowledge of the Eng- lish language and every child in Marken knew it. “They certalnly are used to Americans said the elder sister thoughtfully. “Why shouldn't they be? I admit that ‘bout 1,000,000 or =0 Americans come here every summer,” replied the other girl, turning a splcious glance on her sister, “but you must remember that these people are singularly impervious to outside in- | fluences. Because a lot of people wearing hats and ecarrying Baedekers walk past | thelr door every day is no reason to them | why they should give up their caps and | open & book store on the main stree “I seem to have heard that before,” interpolated the older one, which brought forth only the reply: ‘“Please remember that we are not to | decide this thing until the evidence Is all in. They made their way slowly up the little street peering into doors that stood cordi- | ally open, delighting in the shining brasses, the polished dishes and the general spick and spanness of everything in sight. “Funny that everything is In such per- fect order,” mused the older sister. “You would think it would be cleaning day for at least one of them. ““They are probably willing to get up be- fore 9 o'clock in the morning,” was the crushing reply that silenced her. The costumes of the women, with thelr thick cloth skirte worn over huge stuffed rolls around the hips; the stralght tight brightly flowered bodicos and the tight oaps with the long blond curl escaping | on elther side, aroused the admiration of | the younger sister, while the older one grew enthusiastic over the men with thelr full loose trouse hgld at the waist with two huge silver buttons, their tight jackets and tiny caps “And yet, ehe sald, qualifying her en- | thusiastic admiration, “it is queer that none of them is working.
