Secretary FOIger and the Supreme
Court.

Secretary Folger, when asked yesterday
what foundation there was for the story
that he was to succeed Justice Hunt on the
Supreme Court bench, said None in the
least that know of. During Gen. Gar
fields incumbency as President an intimate
friend of his suggested to me that if 1 could
get the Endorsement of the New York Court
of Appeals for position as associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court 1 could be ap-
pointed as soon as vacancy occurred. But
since / have been in the Cabinet of his sue
cessor no such suggestion has been made to
me. Eesides, / am now nearly sixty-three
years of age and at the conclusion of my
services in the Treasury Department in
tend to retire from public life."
1T has also been stated, Mr.. Secretary,
that you declined to select an assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, in order to af
ford your successor, whoever he might be,
an opportunity to confer this Office upon
some trusted friend"
"That is as groundless as the other story
about my succeeding Judge Hunt AS a
matter of fact, there are two gentlemen
with whom am corresponding in relation
to their acceptance of the office; but have
not as yet heard from either of them.
am very anxious to fill the vacancy, but
want to be sure that am getting a capable
man before / select any one for such an
important trust. / had in my mind the
very person that / thought qualified to per-
form the necessary duties of the position,
but he is a Democrat, although that is all
that can be said against him. There is one
thing, however, that you can rest assured
of, and that is that 1 shall remain with
President Arthur, in his Cabinet, during
his term if desired and will not accept any
other position"

Your First sweetheart.

She seemed in your boyhood as pure and fair
As snowflake floating down the air,
And every time you passed her
Yon hung your head as you hurried by,
1t made you tremblo TO have her nigh;
In the tender gaze OF her azure eye;
Your glad young heart beat faster.
Her voice was musical to your ear,
Her Joyous laughter you loved TO hear;
And while you looked, ana listened,
You saw her beautiful golden curls,
The envy OF all the other girls;
her cheeks were red, and the teeth like pearls
That in her swoot mouth giistened.
In the district schoolroom you loved to look
AZ her fair young face, Ger your thumb-worn
When the teacher turned his back awhile,
It made you happy 70 see her smile
AS you shyly handed across the aisle.
The apple you had brought her.
She said she loved you; you fairly smiled
And even fancIed, though but child,
You could not live without her.
Timid and few were the words you said
As you hauled her home upon your sled;
You ate your supper and you went 70 bed,
And you dreamed all night about ber.
You, blushing, kissed her as she went by
When the boys and girls played "needie's eye"
At Parson Green's donation;
And when, soon after, upon the stairs,
You saw her fiirt with Isaac Ayres-
xou wished he'd tend 10 his own affairs
You felt a sad sensation.
4O4 8&IM W inuuhoou anu icft tnb tOWu;
She married a farmer and settled downi
Your liyes were never blended.
You toiled and struggled for wealth and fame,
And both OF these worldly blessings came,
And after many neeting flame
Your youthful dreams were ended.
You married, at last, worldly wife,
The changes came In your busy life
That left their sober traces.
Then children clanbered about your chair,
And weren't you happy 10 have them there?
No other children seemed half SO fair,
You smiled at their glad iaees.
Your form Is bent and your hair gray,
Your little sweetheart has passed away;
IT'S years since last you parted
For time has changed, the tears have nedi
Tho other day when you slowly read
In The evening paper she was "dead,
With sad surprise you started.
You dropped the paper upon the fioor
xou wandered again by the rivers shore
In tho midst OF memOfy's Wildwood
How few thore are In the world OF ours
Who marry the love Of their childhood 3 hours,
lof where IN this world bloom brighter hOwer3
Than blossoms that bloom IA childhoodf

Justice to the Government Printing
ONCE Employees.


The Indianapolis Times, commenting on
Judge Lawrence's decision in relation to
the pay of the Government Printing office
employees for holidays, says very justly:
There never should have been any oc-
casion for asking the decision of the Comp
troller Of the Treasury in this matter. In
fact, the question never should have been
raised. 1t was whether employees of the
Government Printing-office were entitled
to pay during the time that the office was
closed on account of President Garfield's
obsequies. The order for closing was general
and included every Department of the
Government. Why should not employees
of the Government Printing-office be paid
during the time it was closed as well as the
clerks in the Departments?
No person thought of raising the question
on the clerks; why should it be raised on
the printers? Clerks in the Departments
get months leave of absence every year,
with pay, and are permitted to 60 home at
elections and vote without any stoppage of
pay. They also get weeks holiday at
Christmas time, besides the Fourth of July,
Washington's birthday Thanksgiving day,
etc., and all without any stoppage or reduc-
tion of pay. 1t looks like an invidious dis
elimination, therefore, to say that the em-
ployes in the Government Printing-office
should be "docked" of their pay for the
time the Office and other Departments were
closed on account of the Presidents death.
1t looks like an attempt to recognize
class distinction between Government
employees who drive the pen with lily
white hands and those who set type with
soiled fingers. In respect of education
intelligence and moral worth, the employees
of the Government Printing. g.office are fully
equal to the Department clerks, and we see
no reason why the latter should be ac-
corded any greater privileges or considera-
tion. The Comptroller of the Treasury has
decided the question rightly, but it never
should have been raised at all.

Alluding to persecution of Israelites, the
report says: "The prosecutions, out
RACES and indignities heaped upon the
Israelites of Russia have scarcely parallel
in the history of the dark ages The
hydra-h headed monster-fanaticism and
bigotry-stalkS abroad in the so-called
! liberal German empire and seeks to devour
the Jew, for no other reason than that he
is becoming too powerful. We must not
lull ourselves to sleep with the fancied idea
that in this enlightened age and freest of
countries we will be safe from such attacks.
Only by concerted action-working hand
in hand-can we avert such a catastrophe"
A letter was received from S. Wolff, chair
man of the executive committee, who is
now in Cairo, Egypt, expressing his regret
at not being able to be present at the annual
meeting. He said he expected to return in
May next.

THE EVENING CRITIC.
GONE WRONG.
DefaIcaticn Of %. Chapman Nenie. of
Agexaudrin.
HE'D AUGUST, 1s1s.

Alexandria.
Mr.. s. Chapman Neale, of the law firm of
Kent & Neale, of Alexandria, having be-
come financially involved, has made some
transfers Of real estate, and attachments
have in three or four cases been issued
against his property. He has long been
leading local politician and candidate for
the conservative congressional nomination.
He married some ten years ago Miss Carson,
the daughter of wealthy Baltimorean.
He was member of the Maryland Club of
Baltimore.
The full amount of neither his liabili-
ties nor of his assets is known, although
the former is stated to be at least $50 900.
Among his creditors are said to be Mrs.
Philip Hooff, over $1,000; M. Slaughter,
$4,000; Hon. John s. Barbour, $500;
Sarah Stedolpb, formerly with the Cazenove
family, 5000; Michael Lynch, $1,000; j.
Ferguson, 81 900, and others.
On Saturday last he sold to Robert Kent,
Of Louisa County, Va, his property, at the
corner of King and Washington streets, and
shortly afterward executed deed of trust
on his estate to secure S6,350 for notes held
by the First National Bank. Attachments
have been gotten out by Neale & Sons,
stonecutters for $780, X. II. Rudd, paint
ing First National Bank, note, 81 $50, sc.
Mr.. Neale is also guardian of the estate of
Miss Edith Queensbury, valued at $4,000.
The denouement came about by a suit of
VIM. Grayden, of New York, who had been
concerned with Mr.. Neale in business trans
actions in the West Indies, and who, it is
said, threatened criminal prosecution.
Mr.. Neale held considerable amount of
trust funds besides those mentioned, among
others Virginia bonds of Madame Pig
natelli, of Spain, bat the bondsmen in this
case are considered good in any event. Ths
manner in whidA he became involved is
not known, except it is surmiesd that
speculation in stocks was the cause. He
had q good business income, and profits be-
eating about $4,000 year. To secure
some Alexandria creditors it is said he
made deed of trust in which his mother
(widow) joined him, leaving herself penni-
less, and that Immediately after this as.
signment he left the city for parts un-
known.

Mount. Araraf.

Ararat is divided into two peaks, Great
Ararat on the northwest and Little Ara
rat on the southwest, whose bases blend
while their SUBMITS are seven miles
apart. The summit of Great Ararat Is
1923 feet above the level of the sea,
and IA, 800 above its base; and for more
than 5000 feet below the summit it is
always covered with ice and snow. Little
Ararat is 10, 600 above the sea level. The
apex of Great Ararat was visited by Par
rot October 9, 1929. DIR. Schatf, in com
mon with Smith. says that Ararat In
Scripture refers to the lofty plateau or
Observation-Disclosures which overlook the
plain of the Araxes. The same author
ity states that the mountains of Ararat
Gen. viii, ~ more properly refer to the
entire range of elevated tableland In
that portion of Armenia, and upon some
lower part of this range, rather than
upon the high peaks, the ark more prob
ABLY rested and the following reasons
are given in support of this view; This
plateau or range is about 5000 or Z, 200
feet high it is equally distant from the
Euxine and the Caspian Seas, and be-
tween the Persian Gulf and the Medi
terranean, and hence a central point for

Contempt of hanger.

If dynamite balls Were planted under
n Washington street crossing. at first no
one knowing the fact would 60 over the
Ground: but should they remain there
for week, the old way would be re-
sumed by the people. Familiarity not
only breeds contempt IN the social world,
but people living constantly ON the verge
of danger, In time, come to regard 1t
with carelessness. The human race has
always fought shy of the destructive
forces of nature and art at first. but
familiarity with them has reduced the
fears. The New York sun says When
kerosene was introduced, there were
many fears IN regard to its use, on ac-
count of its liability to explode under
certain conditions, and particularly when
a considerable quantity of it ignited
through the medium of its vapor brought
into contact with fire. Yet in a few
wears thousands of people were using
this feared agent even for kindhng fires,
and every day there Is a fresh story of a
house or a woman or a child burned up
from this careless practice. Precisely so
it has been with dynamite, which at first
was regarded with terror from its destruc-
tive power. Yet the other day, in New
York, a house was blown to pieces by
dynamite cartridges hung on stovepipe
to warm, and IN Pennsylvania miner
put can of dynamite on his cook stove
to dry, and only fragments Of himself,
his wife, and four children, and splinters
of his house remained to hold an inquest
over. 1t is the old case of contempt of
danger bred by familiarity with it; but
since the lives and possessions If a great
many people are imperiled by the habit
which a near neighbor may haveof keep
ing dynamite cartridges IN his house
and warming them on his stove, the laws
relating to this and similar explosives
seem to need revision.

q ,Acquisitiyeness.

In the introduction to his pamphlet on
How to Grow Rich," DIR. Bland gives
the following definition and analysis of
this organ The faculty of acquisi-
tiveness is common to brute and man. 1t
is not an intellectual faculty, but sell
fish instinct. Its Office is to desire.
covet, long for, grasp, appropriate any
thing, everything that can in any way
minister to the physical nature. 1t is a
legitimate organ, whose functions are
necessary to the continued existence
alike of the insect, the animal and the
human being. 1t is devoid of moral
sense, as well as intellectual perception,
hence it has no recognition of the rights
of property, nor any knowledge of how
to get what it desires, nor yet any idea
of the relative value of things. 1t is
simply the instinct of acquisitiveness.
1t is the controlling faculty in each. The
insect and the brute having no other
than a sensuous existence, their wants
are limited to food and shelter. Man,
while allied to the animal kingdom, on
the sensuous plane, is lifted infinitely
above 1t by the fact of his being endowed
with reason, and crowned with moral
sense and spiritual aspirations. BY
means OF his superior intellect, man is
able to subjugate the earth and all its
forces, compelling it to yield its fruits
and treasures in rich and varied abund-
ance to supply his needs and crafty his
desires. Through the guiding wisdom
of his moral faculties he recognizes the
brotherhood of man and the equality CT
the race, the foundation of the prfnci-
pies of Justice" Accepting these propo-
sitions as correct, it is clear that the man
whose life is spent in the service of ac-
quisitiveness is simply an intellectual
brute. chronological journal.

As the express train to San Jose was
slamming along past San AIateo, with
both valves wide open, the figure of a
man was seen waving a red shirt about
half a mile up the track. The engine
was reversed, brakes we're whistIed
down, and with tremendous effort the
train was stopped Just as It reached the
man.
whats the matter?" shouted the
conductor, running forward.
" Is this the lightning express to San
Jose ?" asked the stranger, earnestly.
g Yes, yes; of course it is" said the
ticket puncher, whib the passengers
crowded up with whit faces.
"That's right said the man, pocket
ing his flannel and brcing up for grand
break. Always tel the truth, and
people will respect y0u."
