He had been subjected to a hard day of it, and when the last caller had gone, shortly before 5 5 o’clock, he walked out of the frout door of the White House with Secretary Porter. Many peo- ple recognized the President before he reached the east gate of the grounds, and their salutations were responded to cor- dially. At the gate half a dozen people held up the President and shook hands with him. Then he struck across Pennsyl vania avenue and up Madison place to Vernion't avenue. They were back at the White House by 6 o’clock. Julius Palmer, the Boston gentleman hosa sort of majordomo to the former Queen of Hawaii during her residence iiere, was among the earlier callers at the White House after luncheon. He banded Mr. Porter a aote which was said to be a. sequest from “her gracious majesty” as He calls Lilinokalani, for an audience at an early date, Jiore than a thousand people shook hande with the President at a public_re- ception which began at 3 o’clock.

ST. PAUL, Mixx., March 8.—A dis- patch from Cbippewa Falls, Wjs., say: A snowstorm and a belated passenger train were two circumsiences that pro- bably prevented a bloody encounter be- iween a gang of bandits and a hunared or more armed deputies last night. A few days ago the Omaha officials re- | ceived information to the effect that an attempt would be made to hold up the Duluth Limited, waich leaves Superior | for Eau Claire at 5:30 in the afternoon. | The place selected isa lonely spot ina forest about three miles north of Haw- | thorne, and if the train is on timent ar- rives there about 7 o’clock in the evening. | Hud the Duluth train not been delayed | six hours in a snowdrift the bandits would | have received the warmest reception last night ever accorded a gang of desperadoes bent on mischief. | The bagzage ana mail cars were- filled | with armed deputies, who were ready to open fire at a moment’s notice. | The men were quietly taken aboard at | Superior Junction and were given careful instruciions by the officials of the road, | who were notified as to the plans of the robbers. It was their plan to flag the train, and just assoon as 1t siowed up sufficiently two men were to secure control of the engine, while the rest of the gang rifled the mail and baggage cars and went through the passengers in the coaches. The Omaha officials prepared to allow | the bandits to carry out their programme | as to the flagging ot the train, but an en- tire change of scenery had been arranged for the second act, in which it was pro- posed to drop the curtain on the gang of | desperadoes but for the heavy snowstorm which held the train at Superior Junetion until 2 o’clock this morning | When it arrived at the scene of the pro- posed robbery the bandits had taken their | departure, having evidently abandoned | the attempt for the night, The passen- gers knew nothing of what was in store for them uniil the danger point was | passed, when the story leaked out.

Declining Daysof the Talented Woman Shortened by a Painful Accident. STAMFORD, Coxx., L Henry Ward Beecher died at 10:42 this morning. Mrs. Beecher came here on Thanksgiving. A few days later she fell, cutting & gash 1n her forehead. She fell i have grown up or grown old with her, and there are the associations that give a golden glow 1o the sunset of her life.

This house is at the corner of Hicks and Orange streets, the parlor windows having a sunny ex- posure, Last April Elizabeth @.

The illustrations which appear on this page, and which'are made from photographs of her taken in her home last Monday, will interest thousands of percons who read her contributions to the Sunday Werld every week and who know her only through her published work. Mrs. Beecher deserves to be known even better than this. Thereis much in her daily life and character to sppeal to students of human nature. She has apparently discovered two great secrets which most Luman beings die without finding out—the secres of per- petual youth and the secret of contentment.

Actlive In the Cause of Humanity to the Very Close. Eunice White, wife of Henry Ward Beecher, was born in West Sutton, Worcester County, Mass., August 25, 1812. She waseducated at Hadley, Mass. When Mr. Beecher settled in his pastorate in Lawrenceburgh, Ind., he returned to the East to claim his bride, after an engage- ment extending over seven years, Mrs. Beecher has been a contribator, chiefly on domestic subjects, to various periodicals, and some of her articles have been pub- hishea in book form. During a long and tedious illness in her earlier married life she wrote a series of reminiscences of her first years as a minister’s wife, afterward published with the title “From Dawn to Daylight: A Simple Story of a Western Home’” (1839), under the pen name of “A Minister's Wife.”” She has also published **Motherly Talks With Young House- keepers'’ (New York, 1875). “Letters From Florida” (18 “All Around the House, or How to Make Homes Happy'’ (1878) and “Home" (1883). Of recent years she had contributed to Eastern periodicals, .one of ber latest articles being in the New York World and on the subject of “New Women.”’ Wuen Mr. Beecher died in 1887 he did not leave a large estate, the estimated amount of his wealth beinga sum ranging from $75,000 to $150,000. Mr. Beecher’s salary tor the filty years that he was in active work as a preacher averaged $10,000 avear, and during the last twelve years of his ministry of Plymouth Church his salary was $20,000 a year. His total in- come from lectures and addresses was $300,000, and from his books and other literary work $200,000, making in round numbers the sum earned by voice and pen fully $1,000,000. It is well known that Mr. Beecher did not place any vaine upon money, and he | ot rid of it as fast as it came in by giving it away in charity, buying precious stones and works of art, and in living expenses. Mrs. Beecher tried to run the business end of the househould, and 1t was mainly through her efforts that dr. Beecher left any estate of all. Mr. Beecher's life was insured for $25,000, and by his will he provided tratit be invested and the income paid to Mrs. Beecher during her lifetime. The rest of the estate, which included a $50,000 farm at Peekskill, was lei: to Mrs. Harriet E. Scoville, Henry B. Beecher, William C. Beecher and Herbert ¥. Beecher, with - struction to dispose of itin any way that the executors might see fit for the benefit of the children, who were all of age. Mrs. Beecher was one of the remarkable women of the century. Her prominence was not entirely due to the splendid posi- tion won by the great divine whose wife she “was, though that in itself woula have given eminence to a common place character. She had the force and strong personality that would have given her position in any society with which she might be associated. Indeed, it may be ssserted with truth that her being the wife of so greata man tended to dwarf her own strong individuality by its con- trast. She showed her fidelity at a tinie when the clouds hung blackest about her husband, and proved that no matter who might be skeptical, she, whose life and happiness were most concerned, never en- tertained a doubt, never wavered in ber loving loyalty and wifely devotion. Since 1847 Mrs. Beecher has been a resi- dent of Brooklyn; that city was the scene of her husband’s greatest irials and tri- umphs. Init nearly all her children were born; there are the many friends who | years, but alert of motion and exceeding care- cate woman, bent & little by the weight of ber fulas todress. The lace caps she wears are | adorned by delicate lavender ribbons, which | are renewed daily. She magesher plain black gowns herself, and tney would do eredit to any dressmaker. Their fit'and nish are periect, aind the Httle rafffes at the neck and waist are freshened and sewn in by Mrs. Beecher every | morning. She'is mot averse to ornaments. One unotices, among others, a large, old- | | fashioned cameo brooch, small cameoearrings, | a silver eyeglass guard and a watch with a long and glittering chain, which is very striking. She also wears on the first finger of her right hand & seal ring that belonged to | Mr. Beecher, and that she prizes above most | things. Her complexion is like old ivory. Time has traced innumerable wrinkles there, but ber features are still pericct aud her face 1s almost beautiful. It is set in & frame of white hair, against which the cobwebby cap | and the lavender ribbons rest effectively. There is no slavish following of fashion in Mrs. Beecher's case. Her sleeves are good plain sleeves, with no especial fullness at | shoulder or elbow, and her feet find comfort in the fine old congress gaiters, also worn by | Queen Victoria and other exceilent women of | advanced years. Mre. Beecher's blood does | not flow as freety through her veins as it did halfa century ago, so she usuallywears a little woolen shawl over her shoulders and has & warm fire in the grate when other citi- zens of Brooklyn are sitting before open win- dows in their shirt waists. As 10 Mrs. Beecher’s home life she describes itinafew words. “Idoas much,” she say +:as my front door beil will allow me to do. She lives alone with one servant, but as the littie maid is usually busy downstairs Mrs. Beecher answers the bell herself in the most | democratic fashion. The oceupation is quite | enough for one able-bodied woman. From carty morn till late at night that bell sends forth its summons. Old friends call ““to see how the dear woman is getting along.”” Young triends come because Mrs. Beecher loves young girls and they love her. She is a most sympathetic listener and her advice is asked in numerous delicate affairs. Children come for “storics,” and women reporters errive in battalions to know her views on every subject from the making of & Welsh rarebit to the Monroe Doc- trine. Book agents piesent themselves, and | this noble Christian woman receives and lis- tens to them. And the autograph fiend and the old college friend of ber husband, and former members of his church all join the pro- cession that wends its way daily to the little red house on the corner of Hicks and Orange streets. In the intervalsof these visits Mrs. Beccher sews, writes. reads, dusts, arranges the furniture and holds loug conversational sessions with the fifteen birds that are the joy of her heart. These birds occupy one immense cage in the | window of tne little back parior. There are | five canaries, a love bird and a number of Javas and their incessant twittering and whistling would drive & nervous woman mad. Mrs. Beecher is not a nervous woman. She likes the noise aithough she confesses that she keeps all the birds in one cage because their singing, if they were caged separately, would be too much even for ier. She can distingu:sh cach bird’s note among the general uproar, and she encourages them to fresh efforts by chirruping in return. A great deal of her time is spent with these birds, for Mr. Beecher loved them. She feeds them, keeps them sup- plied with seed and water, cleans their oages and takes care of them when they are sick. There is plenty of time for all these duties, for Mrs. Beecher sleeps only five hours out of the twenty-four. She 18 alwaysup at5 in the | morning and never goes to bed before mid- night. It isno unusual thing for her to work all night and satisfy nature with a short nap in the afternoon. She does not feel the need of sleep and & heart trouble to which she is subject makes recumbent position very pain- ful. Several years ago Mrs. Becher was asked the secret of her youthfulness. “If there is one,” she replied, “it lies in the fact that1 have resolved never to bscome ‘an old woman.’* She has kept this resolution well, and her greatest aids have probably been her keen interest in human nature and her ex- traordinary sense of humor. She responds to a joke as if she were 20. Then, too, she lives very much outside of herself, The memory of | Mr. Beecher is always wilh her, and she be- lieves very firmly thatin a few years she will be with him again, In the meantime she lives as she feels that he would have her live—se- renely and contentedly, making the ‘most of the little pleasures that come to her, and throwing off the cares and worries with the reflection that in the nature of things they caunot matter, BOYS ESSAY 10 WRECK A TRAIN Disaster to the Monterey Express Narrowly Averted. Youths Place Dynamite on the Track Near Murphys Station. Only-a Portion of the Explosive Is Touched Off, but Cons d:rable Damags Results. SAN JOSE, TAL, March 8.—Two boys were arrested near Mountain View to-day and lodged in the County Jei! on a charge of having attempted to wreck a train. The prisoners are John Ciravegna, aged 16 years, and Peter Ciravegna, aged 14 years. It is alleged that the boys placed sticks of dynamiie on the railroad track a short distance north of Murphys station, oppo- site a vlace where they were engaged in chopping wood and clearing land. Some injury was done to the Monterey express train 13, on its way to San Fran- cisco, last Saturday afternoon. At the point indicated there was an explosion of sufficient force to shatier the headlight of the locomotive. The engineer supposed that a torpedo had been run over. The explosion did no damage to the track, but the occurrence was reported to the rail- road authorities in San Francisco. On in- vestigation the conclusion was arrived at that a small torpedo nad been placea on the rail for sport by some boys. On Sunday aiternoon, the day following this occurrence, three boys—Charles Bar- ney, John Barney and Conti Belloni— were walking along the track on the way to Mountain View when they saw an ob- jeet that proved to be a stick of giant powder tied to the rail. Their first thought was to remove it, but one of them ex- pressed the fear that somebody might be lying in ambush who would take a shot at them should they attempt to remove the explosive. The boys had an idea that the bomb had been placed there by train- robbers, the object being to stop the pas- senger train that was soon due past that point from Monterey going north. The boys were about to run for help and to warn some one at Murphys station when they heard the train coming. Quick action was then necessary, and they | hurriedly removed the bomb from the | track and took it to Mountain View and | reporteda the occurrence. In answer to a telegram, instructions | were sent from San Francisco that the track should be guarded over night. For | recommends that both Joines and Per! a distance of & mile on each side of the | place where the explosion occurred and the bomb was found, the track was patroled during Sunday night by section employes under the direction of Constable J. D. Martin and Deputy Sheriff Zach Martin. There were no developments during Sunday night. This morning Constable Martin arrested two drunken tramps on suspicion that they were the persons who had placed the bombs on the track. Shortly afterward Special Officer C. C. Crowley of the South- ern Pacific Company arrived on the scene. He immediately ordered the release of the tramps, as they were evidently not the men wanted. 1n the meantime the Martins had securea astrong clew implicating the two boys who were living in a cabin near the track, and were engaged in blasting stumps and chop- ping wood on land in the Murphy tract. Giant powder cartridges and caps similar to those that had been placed on the track were found in the cabin, and one of the boys explained how he placed the cap in the cartridge, the method being exactly the same as that used in the track bomb. The information was obtained by the officers while they where disguised as woodchoppers. At the same time one of the boys said @ bomb had been placed on the track by a Portuguesa boy. The evidence that had been obtained against them was reported to Special Offi- cer Crowley and he immediately ordered the arrest of the boys. They were brought to the county jail this evening. After their arrest they were very much fright- ened and denied that they knew anything about the explosion or how the bomb came to be on the track. The officers believe that it was a boyish prank, done without any realization of how serious the conse- quences might be. “ The stick of giant powder placed on the rail was about ten inches long. It had been cut in two and a percussion cap was placed in eachend. If the wheel of the engine had struck it there would have been an explosion of sufficient force, it is asserted, to break a wheel, and then there | would have been a pile-up of the heavily loaded passenger coaches, with possibly great loss of life. The sticks of giant pow- der that were found on the track and in the cabin were brought to the county jail with the prisoners. The boys will be arraigned upon the charge to-morrow. gk GRS ROMANCE GF ALVISO SLOUGH. Treasure Found in an Ark That Had Been the Home of a Hermit Fistierman. SAN JOSE, Car., March 8.—The story of an old hermit's death and the squander- ing of his gold proved a highly interesting tovic ia Judge Hyland's department of the Superior Court this afternoon. Charles F. Rodman, an old fisherman who had made his home in an ark on the bank of Aiviso Slough for upward of thirty years, was found dead in his cabin on September 16 last. When the remains were found they were merely a lot of bones, and Rodman had evidently been dead for several months. He seldom went anywhere and his disappearance had not been: noticed. Coroner Secord was notified and an in- quest was held. Although Rodman was supposed to have had a hoard of money, the Coroner found only 50 cents and an old cnain in the ark. He sold the chain for §2 50 and the ark for $5and the pro- ceeds helped to pay the county for Rod- man’s burial. The ark was purchased by George Em- ory of Alviso. Eoon afterward Emory ap- peared with a lot of fine clothes—some- thing vnusual for him. He then took a trip East. Before starting he purchased considerable jewelrv and exnibited gold coins of all denominations. Where Em- ory obtained his money was a mystery, but he mentioned it as merely a windfail from a deceased Eastern relative. This was not believed, and stories of all kinds about Emory finding the old hermit's hoard of gold were current. Emory returned from the East a couple of weeks ago, and Coroner Secord determ- | ined to find out whether bis suddenly a quired weaith was treasure found in Rod- man's ark. A trap was set, and last night Emory was made drunk at Alviso. Un- der a pumping process he said he hap found “loads of wealth'’ in the ark. He | also exhibited what purported to be a $1000 United States hond, which he said was found amons the effects. To-day Public Administrator Secord got special letters of administration on the estate, and Emory, who was in San Jose, was cited to appear in court and tell | about his find. An officer found him in a saloon and brought him inio court. On the witness-stand he admitted that heand a man named Beard had found $1600 in a buckskin belt under the roof of the ark. He said they divided the money equally He finally admitted he had found an as- signed bond of 1861 for $1000. He produced the latter when District Attorney Har- rington asked for it.. Emory said he was not the only lucky one. There were others who found money. He haa heard of three persons who had discovered $500. It is believed that Emory and others found guite a sum of money in the hut. Coroner Secord hopes to recover some of the treasure, if there isany left. It is understood that Emory presented some treasury notes at the United States Sub-Treasury in San_Francisco for pay- ment, but they deciined to cash them. The officers sugzested that shey could send them on to Washington for collec- tion, but Emory would not trust them, und‘ so went East to cash the bonds him- self. —_——— SHOT IN SELF-DEFENSE, | Mystery Surrounding the Wounding of Frank Foster Is Cloared. SAN JOSE, Car,, March 8.—Frank Fos- | ter, who claimed to have been shot in the 1 neck by an unknown man on South | Fourth street last night, was put through the “‘sweating” process vy Chief Kidward this morning. He admitted that he and and his companion, Teddy Powers, had been following a stranger with whom Powers had some trouble in a shooting- gallery a few days ago. They intended giving him a beating. They had foilowed him from First and St. John streets, and as he turned south on | Fourth from Santa Clara Foster tried to | close in on him. The man turned and | shot, the bullet entering Foster’s neck, but not causing a serious wound. Powers corroborated the story told by Foster. The police have been unable to find the | man who did the shooting. IDAHO’S LEGISLATIVE SCANDAL. Failure of the Attempt to Expel Members Implicated by the Bribery Expose. BOISE. Inamo, March 8.—The report of the committee investigating the bribery | charges in the matter of the election of United States Senator Heitfeld came up for consideration in the Legislature to-cay and a decidedly warm discussion ensued. The report declares that H. S. Joines did on several cccasions try to procure money surreptitiously from aifferent per- sons; that, while the evidence aganst Perkins is not so strong as that against Joines, the former is highly culpable. The report says that the evidence discloses that money had been freely offered for | corrupt purposes by other persons, and ns be expelled from the house. A motion in the Legislature to adopt the resolution in regard to Perkins resulted for and 22 against, and the Speaker cast he deciding vote against, thus saving Perkins. The motion to adopt the report in re- gard to Joines was carried unanimously, but the resolution to expel bim from the Honse failed to carry by a vote of 26 to 16. The action of the House in refusing to | | make an example of both Joines and Perkins is severely criticized, and it is asserted that the reason tor the action of the members in the matter is that many of them are no less culpable than the two who have been bublicly accused.

SANTA ROSA, Can, March & —Several months ago a smooth-faced, good-looking young man, going by the name of *Billy'* Johuson, arrived in this city looking for work. He was not fastidious as to his employment, as long as it yielded him a living, and often earned an honest penny by splitting and cording stove wood. He atlast secured a steady place in a restau- rant on Main sweet, where he became a great favorite with the customers because of his polite and affable ways.
