Mr. Storey was about sixty four years of age.
He was a native of Vermont, and was born at

tered the Office off the Middlebury Free Press
when twelve years old. Five years afterward he
was working as a compositor on the New York
journal of Commerce. By 1888 he had saved
SOU, and was employed at South Bend, Ind He
founded the first Democratic newspaper printed
at Ilaporte Subsequently he lived in Jackson,
Michigan, where he filed political position

presidency. From 1916 to 1S49 he acted as post
master at Jackson, where he afterward owned a
business as dealer in drugs and general merchan-
disc. Again he tried journalism and gave the
Detroit Free Press more than local habitaton
and a name. He sold his interest in that great
property in the year 1861, for $40, 900, and for
$al, GOO bought the Chicago Times. The Times

but through his ability and force of character he
made one of the greatest newspapers of the
country.

A RIGHTEOUS ACT.
Forcing Government Clerks to Pay Their
GrOcer'S Bills.

WAsHINGroN, Oct 27.--Aoting Secretary
Coon has recently taken p step that promises to
improve the morals of the civil service and to
clerks in the Treasury Department who seldom
pay their just obligations. For years the Off
Gals of the department have been constantly
annoyed by the appeals of vietimized grocers,
butchers bakers and other business men who
were unable to collect their bills from clerks to
whom they had extended credit. During Mr.
Coons term as acting Secretrry he has received
hundreds of applications for assistance in forcing
settlements of such debts. Some of the writers
charged clerks with 'shabitual dead-beatism, "
and presented very strong indictments in in
dividua! cases OF course no attention could be
paid to many of them, as the remedy was in q
civil action. But where the complaints are con-
slant and the clerk seemingly determined not
to pay his debts. Mr. Coon has ordered the chief
of the division in which such clerk is employed
to mako a thorough investigation, and if the
charges are found true, to recommend the de-
linquent for dismissal.
In explanation of this course Mr.. Coon says
that tho man who persistenty defrauds his
creditors, squAndeps mis- salary, and allows the
grocer to support his family, is dishonest, and
therefore not fit for the government service.
The result of the order is already manifest.
Several clerks have been dismissed and many
others have hastened to make long neglected
settlements. 1t may be remarked IN this con-
nection, however, that the old stories of utter
impro violence and reckless extravaganza among
government clerks as class are not true of the
average clerk of to-day Thousands of them
own their residences. and have snug sums in
vested in the savings banks and building associa
tions, which latter have been the means of Great
ing moderate competence for hundreds of dc
partment people who few years ago carried
their fortunes on their backs and unpaid bills in
their pockets.

ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND oPERA-HoUSE-''T THE SILVER KING"
1.-The Silver King is easily the best Of the re-
cent English melodramas that have been seen in
this country, and, unlike the remainder, its
popularity does not seem to materially decrease.
1t is the best because it's story is more natural
and less strained; its action is more rapid and
coherent and the interest is continually sus-
tanned One does not tire of it, for monotony is
prevented by the introduction Of succession of
characters, covering a wide range, but all well
defined and picturesque and by incidents, all Of
which are dramatic, and some intensely so. The
play was seen and admired here last season, and
If the Grand 0pera-house was not crowded at its
presentation last evening, it was because politics
and other exterior attractions at this time of the
year. keep people away from the theaters. Th9
play was put on the stage with fine effect, and
the performance was an excellent one Mr..
Frederick De Belville, an actor of fine reputa-
ton, played Wilfred Denver, the Silver King,
with much force and discrimination, being espe-
ciaily good in the heavier scenes Miss Eleanor
Careys Nellie Denver was admirably DONE and
Mr.. John Jenningss Jakes is about the most
careful and natural piece of character acting
seen here for many months All the lesser parts
were carefully assumed and the performance as
whole was even and interesting. There was
much applause during the evening" and the stage
effects came in for due share Of admiration.
The play will be seen again tonight and to-lnor-
row night

indicated that the company was stranded at the
