Old Hickory at Brown University.

"Reminiscences in the Providence Journal
Butthere occurs to me at this moment one
little episode in our college life which may
bear repeating to those OF the present genera
ton. l refer to visit which General An
drew Jackson, then President of the United
States, with several members of his Cabinet,
paid to the Brown University. II occurred
in the summer of 1892 or 1888.
There were no railroads then. He and his
retinue came by stage coach and steam.
They stopped at the City Hotel. All our
distin guished men called upon them, among
others the venerable Moses Brown. 1t used
TO be related what he said TO the President
on beirg introduced: 81 am glad to see
thee. / have voted for all thy predecessors"
DR.. Wsylan and the faculty called upon
him and invited him to visit the college.
He came, ana let me tell you how he came
There was quite a procession of carriages.
We hadn't many hackney coaches in Provi-
dence then, but General Jackson came on
horseback, upon a famous white horse
owned by that excellent man, Charles Il.
Childs, livery stable keeper on Grange stree.
Every body in Providence knew The horse by
s!eht and name. He was called General
Washington"
shall never forget the scene in that little
old chapel after General Jackson had dis
mounted ard assembled the stage with Mr..
Van Buren,, the faculty, and a few other
distinguished gentlemen. But General Cass,
who was TO address the students, was not
there. By some accident his arrival was de.
lay ed. and the audience was quite uneasy.
In few moments he came. and | can see
him now almost as plain as I saw him then,
ascending the eastern steps to the stage OF
that little chapel, with his white beaver hat
in hand Conscious that he was late, he ad.
vanced at once TO the front, and in a little
speech of five minutes, while he pointed to
President Jackson as the example of what
peIseveriDg effort and loyalty to duty might
accomplish in this relic, he stirred the hearts
OF all his hearers, and well remember what
Professor Goddard said to Henry Anthony
and myself of the speech as we were leaving
the building: Meat, very neat"

the heart OF a person struck by the mania
for old china, but here il excited no interest
Finally the great 6sy arrived. All the
forenoon the activity OF preparation grew in
intensity. There was the ice cream to be
frozen, and there were hosts OF other last
things to be done. When these had all re-
ceiVed attention there was only time for the
young ladies to scuIry to their rooms and
make their toilets. Scarcely had the las.
bow been tied and the last curl arranged
when the clatter of hoofs told OF the ap-
preach OF guest. From that moment there
was 8 continued succession OF arrivals. All
the black servants that could be obtained
were needed to insure the proper care OF the
horses and vehicles. These were Of all sorts
snd Kinds. Even csscEes and omniouses
were pressed into service. or course, dcess-
ing rooms for these who came from as far as
thiIty miles in carriages, and tor those who
had Travelled long distances by rail and six
or eight miles by carriage, were necessary,
and engaged much time, aud there was a
great deal Of costumlng done daring the few
hours before sunset.
Company that came from so great dis.
lance must, OF course, spend the night, and
there was nothing for the host to do bat to
keep up the feetiYity from dusk to daylight
There were promenades on the lawn under
the japanese lanterns, dancing, and the
usual doings of parties until IL o'clock, and
then there was a substantial supper, and at
q. M. an auxiliary repast, not quite 50
hearty, that was sufficient to insure life un-
til dawn. At dsybreak tired men and
maidens called up their horses aud had
their convt yances made ready, and
the exodus began. 1t was not un-
til after a late breakfast that the
ladies of the house were able to sit quietly
down with host and discuss the events of the
previous hours. Then every item was
brought to mind, and as probably the same
process was pursued by the Others, the party
of Smith valley was pretty thoroughly over
hauled before night again drew its curtains
over the Virginia mountains. There was no
caterer to take the dishes away, and the
amount OF dishwashing and other work done
in that line by the household staff can be
imagined better than it can be described.
The party has ever since been a theme for
conversation among those who were invited,
and will long be remembered.

Our UsuaI Illustrated Budget From the Ma
tfOnal Capital.

WAsHIxGToS, Nov. 14.-"Yes, I have been
a good while at it," said Mr.. d. f. Murphy,
the official stenegrapher Of the Senate, as be
sat In the handsomely finished ''stenograph-
ers room" at the Senate end of the Capitol,
for ii is one of the most eligible rooms in the
entire building, just by the massive doors,
and looking cut upon the marble portico of
the Senate end of the east front OF the Capt.

artistic frescoes, reminders of the dead Bcu.
midi, and stretching around the walls are
long cases filled with ''official documents"
bills, reports and other documents of this
sort that are most likely TO be needed at g
moments notice.
Yes, it is over thirty-fYe years." he said,
"sinoe began reporting the Senate proceed
ings. A long time, is it not? And yet it
has gone quickly, and with it good many
men of great abilities and reputation"
"Your recollections run back as far as
Webster, then, do they, Mr.. Murphy"
"Yes," he answered, musingly, 81 remem-
Der him very WELL A very slow, careful
speaker; easy to report, because of the ex-
treme moderation with which he spoke.

Yes, reported Webster and Clay and Cass
and, later on, the great men who took their
places-Sumner and Seward and ell the
others"
do you Join in the often expressed opin-
ion, that greatness has departed from the
halls of Congress, and that the statesman of
to-day is pigmy as compared with that OF
a quarter of a century ago?"
mo, on the contrary, think that the
Congress of the United States, take the mem
hers as q class, averages up better now than it
did in earlier days. There are not, perhaps,
just now any very great minds which tower
up beyond all the rest, as seemed to be the
case with Webster and few others then aud
since, but take the average statesman then
and now and think that he OF to day bears
comparison very WE'LL"
"How long has Congress been stenograph-
ically reported?'
THE Senate was first so reported in 1918.
There was one or two attempts earlier. but
they were unsatisfactory and soon aban-
doned. The present system began in 1913
in the Senate and about 1850 in the House,
and has been continued since"
"Will the present much-critIcised system,
which permits members to revise their
speeches before publication, be remedied, do
you thiDk?"
Doubtful, l think. There has always
been talk about it, but only talk. There
were efforts twenty-five years ago. perhaps
more, to have that feature elimi-
mated and to have the debates printed ex-
actly as they occurred. I remember that
jeff Davis was one Of the most vigorous in
denouncing the system permitting revision
and in urging that the debates be printed
exactly as they occurred. And yet Davis
was on Of the fastest speakers OF the Senate
at that time, and it would seem thst ii any
body needed 10 revise his remarks or the

mo; rather the reverse. AS rule the
men who stand out most prominently in the
history Of the Senate were Of such habits of
speech that there was little occasion for
them to revise the reports Of their speeches.
Webster, as l said, was slow speaker and a
careful one. Seward usually wrote his
speeches beforehand and committed them
TO memory, 50 that often he did not REQUIRE
them to be reported at all, turning them
over in manuscript. This was not always
the case, however. remember on one oeca-

This hasty sketch of the official reporting
of Congress would not be complete without
something about the way the reports OF the
proceedings are furnished to the press of the
country. The chief agency in this work is
the Associated Press, under the management
of Mr.. ID. r. Mckee. 1t has large corps OF
reporters ana newsgatherers at the Capitol,
securing committee rooms aud lobb.es for
news, while on the floor of the House and
Senate it has tables for its reporters, who far
nish condensed reports of the proceedings.
These reports are rushed by waiting messen-
gers to the waiting operators at the Capitol
Office OF the Associated Press, in the
Senate end Of the Capitol, and IN
three minutes after the occurrence of
an event of importance in Congress the facts
are in cities hundreds Of miles away. The

AFTER the Count, Business.

Restoration OF confidence will come with
the prompt settlement OF the Presidential
question, and then it is to be hoped that
whatever antagonismS may have been

rapidly quieted down, aud that the current

disturbed in Presidential years, will again

country can receive serious check. Trade

These are TO be expected. The trade trou-
bies OF one country may even react upon an
other, and to a greater extent when their
commercial interests are interdepsndent. In
the older countries OF Europe it is more diff
hcult for them to recover from a period of
depression than it is for us, for they have
not, like us, q vast mass of undeveloped
mineral wealth to draw upon, nor virgin

Seward was pretty careful about his sem

Sumner was rather a slow speaker, and did
not make many changes in his speeches.
Mr.. Chase OF Ohio, was much given to max

Thomas A. Hendricks.
| Brooklyn Eagle.

Mr.. Hendricks was a preeminent figure in
the late canvass. While the discussion al
most everywhere grovelled along low per-
sonal level, the Vice President elect chose to
debate high issues. He rested the Demo
cratic case upon broad political principles
and policies, He asked for change not
merely of men but of methods, nor was he
at all unspeciic as to these. Reform with
him was something more than an empty
term. He showed precisely what things
needed to be reformed, and how the neces-
sary work should be done. Throughout his
active and laborious campaign his tone was
moderate and statesmanlike, and he ep-
pealed not to the passion and bitterness of
men, but to their intelligence and patriot.

course marked out for them. The admins
