An Incident in the Career Of Mr.,
-. Jewell.

When Young man eX-GOv. Marshall
Jewell, of Connecticut, was for some
time resident of Rochester. - The ac-
count of the manner in which Mr. jew
ell came to live in Rochester is quite in
teresting. and. as related by one of the
olden residents; is as follows: 1t seems
that in 1916 or 1917 Mr.. Jewell became
dissatisfied with life IN Hartford, and
informed his father that he was going
West to make his fortune. Soon after
this he left Hartford. At that tine
Isaac Hall, formerly resident OF Hart
ford, and friend of MarshalPs father,
was associated with Mr.. Thompson in
the. proprietorship Of the old Eagle
Hotel, which was located on the site
now occupied by Powers Block, When
Marshall left home, his father, expect
ing that he would, stop in Rochester and
call on Mr. Hall, wrote Mr.. Hall to de-
tain him in some quiet way, if possible.
The letter reached this city be ore
young Jewell did, and on his arrival
Mr.. Hall % Tered him the position of
clerk in the hotel, and finally succeeded
in persuading him to accept it. During
his residence in Rochester he won many
friends, and, no matter where helmet
any of them in after life, he always en-
joyed speaking of his life in the Flower
City. He did not remain, here more
than a year or two, when he left for
Detroit. While he was clerk in the
Eagle, Hotel, 4" Nick Hadley was one
of the porters at. the house. In after;
years, when Marshall Jewell was Post
master-General, he one day met his ODD
friend "Nick''in the streets. of Roches-'
ter, and, conversing with him. found,
that he was employed as a porter at
Congress Hall. lie took him to Els
room at the Osburnt House. where he
was stopping, introduced him to Ills
wife, and they enioved very pleasant
visit '.Don't YOU want some better
place to work than that?'' asked the
Postmaster-Genera before they partel,

The election in New York this
year is one of Importance and gene
raj interest, second only to that in
Ohio. They are important Offices,
and if placed in harmony with the
State administration, great good
would result to the people, but the
canvass is likely to be quiet and un-
eventful, although the Republicans
will doubtless put forth extraordi
nary efforts to adjust their lines for
the more important election of next
year. In New York, both branches
of the Legislature are to be chosen.
The Senate, holding. for two years,
will take part in the election of a
Senator in Congress in place of Mr..
Lapham, who occupies the seat aban-
doned by Mr.. Conkling. The Sena-
torial election however will not take
place until, 1884, after the Presiden-
tial election: The other State officers
to be chosen in New York are Con
t%roller, Treasurer, Secretary of State,
Attorney General, and State Engi.
neer. These officers are members OF
several executive Boards, which con-
troll great interests, and they dis
pense a large amount of patronage.

The continuous cold weather of
the present spring has given rise to
the speculation that the year of 1888
may be similar to the year of 1876
the year without a summer. Up to
the present time the weather of 1888
has been strangely like the spring of
1916. In that remarkable year Jan
-uary and February were mild, April
vas warm and cold by turns, and
May was too cold for the usual plant
ing. In June snow fell to the depth
Of ten inches in Vermont, and to
lesser depths in Maine, New York
and Massachusetts. Farmers who
raised any crops at all built fires
around their fields to keep the vege-
tation from freezing. Ice formed in
July and August, and in September
there were only q few pleasant days.
No crops were raised in any of the
Northern States, and provisions were
scarce and costly.

The Attorney General has given
to the Secretary of the Treasury an
opinion that, under the provisions of
the act of March 3rd last, "no tax
can be collected on the capital and
deposits of National banks since the
first day of last January, and no tax
on the capital and deposits of State
banks or private bankers since the
first day of last December" He
says he is of the opinion that "du-
ties are not assessable and collecta-
Bile on the deposits and capital stock
of National banking associations for
the period between the date of the
act of March Sd, 1883, nor on the de-
posts and capital o fother banks and

SO apparent as on this national
mourning day.
Visitors who came to New York
for the purpose of seeing Colonel
Roebling's engineering skill should
not neglect at the anne time to have
a look at High Bridge, across the
Harlem River at two Hundredth
Street. They will there be treated
to as fine q view and a perfect q
landscape as could be found in the
East. Beneath you the Harlem glides
smoothly along, dotted with rowboats
Of all descriptions, but chiefly racing
shells, as the Harlem is the head
quarters for all the boat clubs in the
city. On either side rocky declivi-
ties rise whose gray outlines are hid
den beneath masses of juicy green.
In the distance you see the broad
meadows and the green mountains
of Connecticut, while if the sun just
strikes it right, the mouth of Long
Island Sound sways like a a OF
molten silver. To the East is the
Hudson, f1anked on one side by the
Palisades with their time SCARED
steep ascents, and on the other by q
charming variation of hill and dale,
which can scarcely be rivalled by
even the far famed attractions of the
Rhine. True, you get nc ruins in
your landscape here, but is it neces.
sary for a scene of absolute beauty
that the finger of death or decay
should have left its traces? Refresh.
ments are easily obtained for there
are plenty of ms and hotels, where
you can have anything from a glass
of beer and a sandwich to an elabor
ate dinner with the choicest wine:
and at prices no higher than those
charged anywhere in the city.

The tax on matches will be taken
off after the first of July. A cent a
hundred is now levied on them, or
$1.44 on a gross. The Profits on a
gross, assuming the price on match
es is not reduced, will not be less
than $1.95, instead of sixty five cents
as at present. The match manufac-
turers are not disposed to reduce
prices to consumers. If they do not
do so, however, an effort will be made
to induce Congress to restore the
stamp tax. 1t is not fitting that
what was intended as a relief to the
consumer should be turned into a
huge profit for the monopoly.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says
the United Presbyterian General
Assembly is still wrestling over the
question as to whether an organ in
the church is something essentially
sinful. The row over this trivial
matter threatens to disrupt the
church. It seems that a majority,
made up of the progressive liberal
element of the church have voted to
have organs, but the old fogys who
think that the devil ought'to have
all the good music, and that a fiddle
is an abomintion to the Lord, threat
en- to break up the church, if they
are disturbed in their narrow mind
ed views of the subject. The ques-
ton is vet unsettled.

The Prohibition County Conven-
ton held in Eaton on Wednesday of
last week, to appoint delegates to
their State Convention, was larger
than the Republicans. The Repub-

Prohibitionists were increasing in
Preble county. The proceedings OF
their Convention will be found in

The efforts at harmony which the

rest of the bosses, particularly Dor

of the Fourth of July that will take

monument erected at the cost OF the

the day which he perhaps more than

make memorable. AS Mr.. Jefferson
died on the 4th of July, 1926, the
ceremony at his grave will also COM

The New York San says the local
elections in Virginia show clearly
that Boss Malone has lost his grip.
A reaction has begun which will rem
der him powerless as a political fac
tor. The Administration made a
bad bargain when it dickered with
this adventurer and his following of
Regulators. Temporary success
blinded the Republican lenders to
the certain consequences of cor
rupt coalition. They must realize
how costly was an experiment that
has alienated the confidence of thou
sands of conservative men who stood
by the party in all its perils, and Of
ten with straining of conscience
Another effect of this election will
be to close the doors Of the National
Republican Convention against Ma
hone. He expected to go there with
a delegation, and to make his own
terms for admission. The negroes
whom he misled will now desert him,
and the original Republicans, who
were prescribed by the bargain and
sale, will be reinforced by these de-
serters, and become stronger than
they were at first. The imitators OF
Malone in other States, who were
led to follow his example by the ex-
pectation of office and by the prom
Use of reward, will find their business
sadly fallen off, for if nothing sue,
ceeds like success, so nothing fails
like failure. Malone has four years
in the Senate as his remaining CAPT.
tai, and he will make the most of it.

him, and, like Number One" he
