To-day she was as well as usual, her mind

possible that Mrs. Grant. in order TO spare
herself the fatigue of the throngs along the

in New York before the mterment of the
general, may deem il wise 10 defer her de-
parture from here until Friday. Aug. Z.

Talks About General Grant.

Miss Phoebe COuzinS, talking about Gen.
Grant, said: Il first met Gen. Grant in
Washington in 1873, shortly after his second
Inauguration. 1 saw considerable of him
during my stay. He was always a silent
man, you know, and the cares of Office
tended to emphasize this trait. But i'm pri-
vate he often talked quite freely, and dis
played righteousness with which, L be-
lieve, he is not commonly credited. To
show that am not mistaken i will relate
an incident that occurred at the time of
which L speak. Susan B. Anthony and
myself were walking one Saturday after
noon on Pennsylvania avenue when l saw
Gen. Grant approaching. 1t happened that
the two had never met. / said TO Miss An
thony, How would you Ike to see tine
preSident% She replied, Very much. in
deed / pointed him out. and a moment
after he saw me and stepped in front
of MS and bowed. l presented Miss
Anthony, and we ehatted pleasantly
for few moments At that
time Gen. Grant had just sent to the senate
the name OF Morrison Waite TO be chief
justice of the United States. after third
rejection of Caleb Gushing for the same
place. The president, adopting facetiOus
tone which sat well upon him, addressed
Miss Anthony. and referring to the nOmi-
nation said: L have made up my mind if
the senate refuses TO confirm Waite TO
nominate a woman. What do YOU say to
thatT We both laughingly approved the
plan. and after some further talk in the
same vein we parted.

the following Tuesday, in company with
Governor and Mrs. Stanard. When we
came TO where grant stood receiving ne ex-
tended his hand, smiling, and turning to
Vice President Wilson. repeated what he
had said ON Saturday, with the addition
that he had decided TO send in my name, IL
the senate didn't agree on Waite. Mr..
Wilson appreciated the fun and said: DO,
and well confirm her on the first ballot :"
Have YOU seen Gen Grant since his
retirement from the White hOuse?@
Yes; saw him in lSS9 at his house on
Sixty-sixth street, New York. He was
warm friend of my father, and the object
az my visit was to secure his Endorsement
of Maj. COuzins for the United States
maTshalship of this district"
''HOw were you receiyed?"
''He was very cordial and gave me a
strong letter"
Did yOu observe any change in his man
neT as private citizen from what it had
been as chief magistrate?''
Yes. he talked with greater freedom,
and seemed glad of the relief from cares of
state. We conyersediat some length on his
trip around the world, and before left lie

bric-a-brac and works of art which he had
picked up on the journey
Miss CouZins continued: ''He knew my
mother. She was connected with the West

her on several occasions to the front in

Lee closed up the gap TO one length, but
Hanlan kept in advance easily, winning by
four lengths in 1928. After the races
