How Niagara Almost Ran Dry.

On March %, 1913, a remarkable
phenomenon occurred The preceding
winter had been intensely cold, and the
ice formed on Lake Erie was unusual
ly thick. In the warm days of early
spring this mass of ice was loosened
around the shores of the lake and de-
tached from them. During the fore
noon of the day mentioned a stiff east
erly wind moved it up the lake. A
little before sunset the wind chopped
suddenly around and blew a gale from
the west. This brought the vast field
of ice back again with such tremend-
uOus force that it filed in the neck of
the lake and its outlet so as TO form D
very effective dam, that caused a re-
markable diminutiOn in the overflow
of the water. OF course it needed but
little time for the Falls to drain off the
water below this dam. The cOnse-
quence was that ON the morning of the
following day the river was nearly all
gone. The American caannel had
dwindlcd to a deep and narrow creek
The British channel seemed to have
been smitten with a quick consump-
ton, and to be fast passing away. Far
up from the head of Goat Island and
out into the Canadian rapids, and from
the foot of Goat Island out beyond the
old Tower to the deep channel of the.
Horseshoe Fall, the water was guhe.
The rocks were bare. black and Forbid
ding. The roar of Niagara had SUBJ
dued to moan. This extraordinary
syEcoPo Of the waters lasted all the
day, uad night closed over the strange
scene. But during the night the dam
gave way, AM The next morning the riv-
err was restored in all liz strength, beau-

Sketch of the Life Of samuel Jones
Tilslen.
Governor Of the State of New York. aud
Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency of The United States.

The ancestry of Mr.. Tilden was Pu-
ritanic. Joseph Tilden, of Tenderdcn,
County Kent, England, was one of the
merchant adventurers" who fitted out
the May Flower, which brought the
Pilgrims to Plymouth. From the
same county, in 1854, Nathaniel Til
den, brother of Joseph, came over in
the good "shippe Anne" and settled in
in the town of Scituate. The family
was well connected in England, and
by marriage related to Oliver Crom-
well, the Protector. The name Of
Tilden is still an honorable one in the
old colony. His grandfather removed
to Columbia county, N. Y, when it
was a wilderness. His father, Elan
Tilden, was a Staunch democrat of the
old school,. Samuel Jones Tilden, the
youngest of the sons of Elan Tilden,-
was born in New Lebanon, Columbia
county, n. Y, February 8, 1911, con-
sequently he is in the sixty-third year
of his age. His father, firmly believ-
ing in the Democratic doctrines of Jet
ferSOn, jackson and Van Buren,, early
impressed them upon his son Samuel.
In 1882 a coalition was about to be
formed between the Anti-Masons and
Wings to defeat the Democrats. This
subject was talked over in the family,
and Samuel, then only eighteen years
of age, wrote an article showing the
absurdity of such an amalgamation,
couched in such strong and logical
terms that its authorship was ascri5ed
to Mr.. Van Buren,, and it was pub
lished Us campaign document.
When eighteen years of age, he en-
tered the sOphmore class in Yale Col
lege, but was soon compelled to leave
on account of the failure of his health.
lie afterwards completed his aducatiOn
under Chancellor Mathews, and gradu-
ated at the University of New York.
Soon after his graduation, Mr.. Tilden
commenced the study of the Law in the
Office of the late John Edmunds, in
the city of New York, where he had
peculiar facilities both for the study of
law and politics. Upon admission to
the bar, he opened law office on Pine
street, in the city of New York. Poll
ties ragged high in those days, and he
soon wrote a series of articles, which
were highly praised by the Democracy.
He then embarked with Il Mr.. O'Suli-
van in starting the New York News,
but he soon left the editorial fraternity
and was elected Il member of the As
sembly from the city Of New York.
Though young man, he took very
conspicuous part in the legislature, and
was considered one of the leaders of
that body. During the session Of the
Assembly he was elected Il member of
the convention which was chosen that
year to remodel the constitution of the
State of New York. In this body al
so, Mr.. TilIcn was very prominent,
and mauy Of The amendments and
improvements in tine new constitution
emauated from him.
Air. Ti!den, however, soon found
that neither politics nor editing paper
paid, and that 10 occupy a prominent
position in the community, money was
an essential article, and that the way
to accumulate this was To apply him

tel States Senator, and in 1868 Hen
bricks became his colleague in tine
Senate. At this time the democracy
was very weak minority in that body,
but Mr.. Hendricks succeeded in ma
king a great reputation in the Senate,
both as a statesman and a lawyer. He
was active and OutspOken in opposition
to the republican measures of the time,
among them the bill Oyerturning the
old State governments Of the South,
the Civil Rights bill and the Freed
mans Bureau bill. In the impeach-
ment trial of Andrew johnson he play
ed animPOrtant part, and added greatly
to his reputation as a lawyer. In a
single term in the Senate Mr.. Hen
bricks acquired a position OFF great
prominence before the country, and he
placed himself so far forward in his
party that since 1868 he has been re-
garded as among the available demo-
cratic candidates for the Presidency.
But for the Greeley movement he
might have been nominated in 1872.
After his retirement from the Sens
ate in 1869 Mr. Hendricks returned to-
the practice of his profession at Indian
aPOlis, but he was not long allowed to
remain out of public life. After Gree
ley's domination at Baltimore, Hen
bricks was induced to accept nOmi-
nation for Governor of Indiana, in
order to strengthen the Presidential
ticket, and, after bitter canvass, he
was elected by small majority, the
rest of the ticket, except the SuPerin-.
tendent of Public Instruction, being
lost to the democracy. The personal
popularity of Governor Hendricks
carried him through, but he had the
advantage Of having an opponent
against whom the temperance senti--
ment of his State was arrayed. He has
made an acceptable Governor, and has
offended only in one respect-by sign
ing local option liquor bill, which
was subsequently repealed.
Governor Hendricks IS a man of
strong and generous instincts. Social
ly he is one of the most agreeable men
in public life, and he carries the urban
ity for which he is noted into the court
room as well as the executive chamber.
He pOssesses..a fund of wit and anec-
dOte which makes HIM a charming
companion. His words are felicitOusly
chosen, his sentences always well con-
structed and his 'elOcutiOn fluent and
easy. His house is full of books and
paintings, and, although not a scholar
in the highest sense, he is well versed
in literature and has been an especially
close student of English and American
OratOry. In business affairs he is care
full, methOdieal and prOmpt-liberal
without being extravagant-and he
has the reputation of being an honest
man. His name on the ticket Is ex-
pected to add materially to Tildenis
strength in the West.

Mrs. Graves upstairs heard nc
sound, but when she went down Mil.
ly lay OH the sofa white and rigid, the
newspaper still clasped in her cold fin,
gers. 1t was long before her senses
came back. Her mother famed with
anger, but the girl hushed her with Il
weary sob:
1--WE were never really engaged,
you know"
Not engaged! Oh, Milly!"
But Nlilly turned her face to the
wall and said no more.
Baymouth was stirred to its depths
next day by the news that Capt Hal,
lett was married to Southern lady
and that Alilly Graves was down with
typhoid fever. Every one wanted to
nurse; above all, know the particulars.
Such masses of blanc-mange and jelly
were sent in that poor Mrs Graves was
at her wits end to know how to dis
pose Of them. But no one could real
ly aid, not even poor Stephen, who
scarcely left the house day or night,
or ate or slept, till the crisis passed,
and Milly was pronounced out of dan
ger.
Out of danger, but it was weeks be-
fore she could sit up, and weeks Ion
ger ere she came downstairs, thin,
white, shrunken-mere shadow and
wreck of the blooming little beauty
who walked so gayly up Love Lane
Ned Hallett's side not quite a year
ago. She was patient always and I'M
complaining, but she did not often
smile. Perhaps Stephen won these
infrequent smiles oftener than anyone
else, and he counted them as precious
payment for all time and all trouble
spent in her service.
Only once did he see her shed tears.
This was when, hoping to give her
pleasure, he brought in the first wild
roses of the season and held them be-
fore her. Suddenly a spasm passed
over her face; she gave gasp, turned
aside, and struggled for composure.
Stephen dropped the flowers as if they
burned his fingers and hurried out Of the
room. y hot anger shot thorugh him.
He has ruined everything for her, y
he thought. Gwen a rose remind her

1t is in their depths that wounds begin

the renovating principle worked in
Milly. She resumed her placeat home,
her little duties and pleasures, and took

pale still, but the paleness infolded a
sweet serenity which was no less love,
ly than her girlish bloom, "Milly
Graves was real improved since her
disappointment" certain severe old
ladies asserted, and they were not far
from right. Stephen adored her more
than ever. Two years later he told
her so.
To his surprise, she was neither as
tOnished nor shocked, but looked in his
eyes with smile which was sad and
tender and sweet all at once.

lie was retained as counsel in many of
the most important cases that came
before the courts, and was generally
successful in obtaining a verdict for his
clients.
But the great work in which he pre-
eminently shOne as a reformer was in
encOuntering and Overthrowing the So
called Ring" of New York. This
was one of the most gigantic frauds
everfoisted upon any community. The
schemers and shrewd politicians were
composed of both Democrats and Re
publicans, and it was a combination
between theOfficials of the city and the
members of the Assembly at Albany.
Their object was by this combination to
defraud the city, and they did defraud
it of several millions of dollars. Mr..
Tilden with Mr.. O'COnnOr, a promi-
nent attorney of the city, and others
set themselves at work to ferret out
the scOundrels who had entered into
this wicked conspiracy, and so efFectu-
ally did they accomplish the work that
they drove this banditti from their
strOnghOlds, caused them to disgorge the
enormous sums of which they had plum
dered the city and take their flight
from civilized society, no man knoweth
whittier unto this day. Though the
Times newspaper, of the city of New
York, attempted to fitch from Mr..
Tilden the honor and credit which he
justly deserved for the conspicuous
part which he took in this great reform,
yet the community generally, and even
many of the republican newspapers
believed that but for his gallant grasp
upon the leaders, the backbone of that
infamous conspiracy would scarcely
hav, Jeen broken.
Mr.. Tilden. therefore, stands pre-em-
inently as the Reformer of his day.
As Governor of the Empire State,
Mr.. Tilden has thus far filed the office
to the entire satisfaction of the party
by whom he was elected. Indeed, ev-
erybOdy must acknowledge that the
man who could defeat the old hero,
General DIX, in a popular election,
must be possessed of qualities well
calculated to make him the favorite of
the people.
Standing thus before the nation as a
political leader from his youth up,
and as prominent lawyer of the New
York bar, and as the great reformer of
the age, the Democrats are fully pur-
suaded that in putting forth as their
standard bearer for the Presidency, in
the selection of Samuel j. Tilden, they
have placed the right man in the right
place. Especially do they express
their confidence in this act since the
Republicans have repudiated Mr.. Bris-
tow, the only practical reformer in
their ranks, by President Grants ex-
polling him from the Cabinet, and by
his being thrown overheard by the con-
ventiOn at Cincinnati.
