PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
Man Who Must Be Counted In When the
Slate Is Made Up.

"A man VINO must BE counted In When the
Slate Is Made Up.
Washing ton Special to Chicago Tribune.
The politicians in considering presidential
candidates will be wise not to overlook Presi-
dent Arthur Congressman who have re-
Gently been here have observed that Arthur
is gaining i'll the confidence of the party, and
that his administration is becoming stronger
with the people. Senator Platt of Connect-
cut said that in New England there was a
very kindly feeling toward the President
General Hawley, of the same State, who is
in the habit of carefully noting the tendency
of public feeling, expressed the same opin-
ion. Two of the most prominent Republi-
can representatives from New York have
within fortnight expressed like views so
have three Ohio Republicans The Repub-
licans of Iowa, Minnesota and Ohio have
formally Endorsed the administration
New York representative remarked
that he did not believe it possible for
the President to gain the confidence of the
half-breed faction, and that, while the sum-
nit of Arthur's ambition might be to have
his name supported by the New York dele
cation. that ambition would never be real
lied. Within ten days the same representa-
tive has SAID that his views have changed.
A private letter received to-day from an
acute political observer in New York says it
is the general feeling among Republicans
that Arthur is a candidate. There is reason
to think that the appointment of General
Gresham was made with the purpose of
showing the old soldiers that their interests
were not forgotten. The personal influence
of the President has been strongly exerted in
behalf of an harmonious reorganization of
the Republican party in New York Some
of the Presidents old political associates who
might embarrass him i'll efforts to secure Re-
publican harmony have been given the cold
shoulder. The administration has said that
the Mikes, and Jakes, and Barneys of New
York city politics must go. A few days ago
when a self-consttuted delegation of those
gentlemen came here on political mission,
they did not even get a personal interview
with the President

without any trace of the boy being discov-

somehow or other, that we will hear of or

Dressed for the tricycle.,

New York Evening Post.
The girl on tricycle. has already made her
appearance at the summer resorts. As OBJ
served at Newport, she sat between two
wheels, which were connected by a short
axle-tree, on a kind of saddle-astrde of it,
but not so circumstanced as to make divided
garments necessary, as in riding horseback,
man-fashion. Her feet reached down to the
treadles and her hands were employed in
steering by means of device connected
with low front wheel. Her posture was
not that OF sitting, however, but her
figure was suspended nearly perpendicular,
and her legs were moved great deal like
those of horse afflicted with
springhalt or a swimmer treading water. Her
knees came up high. with an action more
productive of good exercise than of grace.
And yet she was Symmetrical and pleasing
traveller" The prescribed costume is soft,
thin flannel with blouse waist and skirt
reaching just to the gaiter tops. II is obvious
that the latter level could not be maintained
in view of the high treading required to work
the tricycle. without some special modifca-
ton of the garment This want has been
supplied by taking an idea from the eques
TRAN habit "Lengthwise of the skirt in
front two gussets are set in points where the
knees will protrude into them in rising"

A Very Interesting Widow,

New York Letter.
The most interesting widow in America
is Mrs. Hemersly. She is tall, erect, and
singularly impressive in bearing. Her car
riage can be no better described than to say
it was that of a West Point military man,
softened by reproduction in the other
sex. That is to say, she was happy medium
between stiff dignity and plant grace. She
had very pretty if not beautiful face, but
twas her high breeding that distinguished
her above others OF equal comeliness She
might have been the aristocratic lady stepped
out from conventional society novel. She is
the daughter of Commodore Price, of the
United States navy. She is in rearing and
character all that her demeanor promises,
and widow at thirty with $4,000 600 There
will be fight by her husbands relatives,
probably, but with no prospects of depriv-
ing her of any considerable part of her
wealth. Doesn't that make her the most
loyable widow in America?

The Only White House Bride.
New York Truth.

NEW 1Ork ITuIh.
The only lady of the White House who en-
tered it as a bride was Mrs Tyler Her
maiden name was Gardner, and she first met
the President at Washington in the third
year OF his term She was at the time
beautiful young lady amiabe and accom-
plished, and became great favorite in soci-
ETY.. President Tyler paid her marked at
tention that winter, and when the family re-
turned to Washington the next season the
attachment ripened into an engagement. 1t
was fastened somewhat by the sudden death
of her father, who was one of those killed by
the explosion of the gun on board the Prince
ton. The marriage was performed in New
York few months before the Presidents
term expired, and attracted increased atten-
ton from the fact that the lady was the first
who had ever entered the White House as
bride

AN UNFADING GRIEF.
The Parents of Charlie Ross Still Mourning
for the Lost Boy.
Philadelphia Record.


Philadelphia Record
On porch overlooking beautiful lawn
in front of quiet-looking residence on Wal
nut lane, Germantown, yesterday, sat three
persons. An elderly-ooking gentleman,
dressed in a plain business suit nice-look-
ing lady of nearly fifty years. clad in black,
whose nely-molded features bore traces of
an inward sorrow, and a 1.-THE, supple lad of
some sixteen years comprised a trio who
have occupied more or less public attention
for the past nine years. They were the pa
rents and brother of Charlie Ross, who nine
years ago yesterday was abducted.
The grief of Mrs. Ross has not been as
snaged by the lapse of all these years and,
like her husband, she suffers untold anguish
from the feelings of suspense in which they
are at all times kept by the fact that they do
not know whether the boy is alive or dead.
"Were We only assured of Charles DEATH"
said Mr. Ross, lit would be a relief for we
are tortured with thoughts of him being
reared among thieves and outcasts. If he is
alive he is surely living among vagabonds,
because those who stole him-Mosher and
Douglass-could not have entrusted him to

Democracy Afraid of the Tariff

LoganspOrt Journal.
The change of tone in the rabid "tarff-for-

party is marked and significant, There are
no more peremptory demands of what the
party must do" next year and "let Penn
sylvan!a go to the devil" The cause is not
far to seek. The fact has been made plain
that the majority of the Democracy is in no
disposition to indorse free-trade doctrines
Only one platform made this year has that
ground, and that was in Iowa, where the
Democracy can say what it chooses without
committing the party at large. Even the

protection bull has had cause to conclude
that it is better to approach free trade gradu-
ally, instead of walking over a precipice,

The decision of Judge Freedman in the
Gilman case is not only based upon clear and
well-known principles of law, but is also in
harmony with common sense Trusts Gre
ated for the purpose of providing payment
for masses to be said for the souls of the dead
are held by English courts to be void be-
cause the money is set aside for superstitious
uses. That ground could not be taken in
this country, where all religions are equal
before the law, but more solid and satisfac-
tory ground has been found in the funda-
mental law relating to trusts. A trust can
not be valid, Judge Freedman holds, unless
the beneficiary is living person subject TO
the jurisdiction of a mundane court. This
soul OF a dead person is not such a benef-
ciary, and therefore the Gilman trust is void,
and the money must be given to the heir,
This is an important decision. for 1t may be
used to prevent the expenditure of other
large trust funds in behalf of entities that
can no longer be affected by worldly gold
and silver

When the Cobdenites cheered Horace

trade would open up to Americans the mark

give Great Britain additional commercial ad-

chaff They have too much intelligence not

The Mission of the Church.


The church must be a leveler, but it must
level up and not down. 1t must reach down
to lift to higher moral plane all those be-
low it. 1t need not trouble itself so much
about rites as about the means used to gather
within its saving folds those who need saliva
ton. When the church foregoes all its side
issues and proceeds to the work that the
Master has directed it to do, viz: preach the
gospel to all the world, then will it be crowd
ed with all classes of poor humanity.

The Real Interest of the Liquor Men.


Liquor dealers, by their unreasoning and
fanatical opposition to and evasion of every
measure designed to lessen the evils of their
traffic, and to require them TO bear fair
share of the burdens of other tax-payers
are only tightening the coil of public senti-
ment that is steadily manipulating the
remedy of total prohibition. If they could
only realize it, liquor dealers had much bet
ter submit to high license and the restrictions
that accompany it, than to risk the alterna-
tive that threatens the traffic.
