Smokers in the White House.

so the White House is to have
another smoker" said an old attache
of that establishment, as he care
fully nursed fragrant Havana and
watched the rings of smoke ascend
toward the frescoed ceiling Il see
that Mr.. Cleveland is a smoker.
Well, there has been pretty constant
smoking here since Grant came in.
There was an interregnum. so to
speak, under Hayes, who did not
smoke, nor did any of his boys; but
with that exception the presidents
since Lincoln have all been smokers.
Mr.. Lincoln did not smoke nor chew.
johnson did, so did Grant, so did
Garfield, so does Arthur, and so will
Cleveland. There were great times
among the smokers when Grant came
in. 1t seemed as though everybody
here smoked then. 1 remember up
in the presidents room at the Capt.
tol, when he used to go up there to
sign bills ON the closing days of the
session, the smoke was so thick that
you could cut it with a knife, as the
saying is. No, Hayes did not smoke,
but not because of any objection on
the part of his own wife, for I think
she enjoyed the odor of a good cigar.
I remember that she turned the cot
tage at the Soldiers Home upside
down one day looking for cigar for
me after I had taken dinner with the
family there. She had seen me
smoking at my desk and set out to
find some cigars there, insisting that
1 should not be deprived of my after
dinner smoke, but failed, for some
body had captured all of them.

President II. II. Gable, of the Rock
Island Road, has issued the following
important notice:
~Mr. E. st. John is hereby appoint
ed assistant to the General Manager,
appointment to take effect July /. The
general ticket and passenger depart
ments will remain under the jurisdic-
ton of Mr.. st. John as formerly, and
all communications in connection with
those departments should be addressed
to him as General Ticket and Passen-
ger Agent"
The above announcement of Mr.. st.
Johns promotion will be read with
interest and pleasure by the many who
have haoonao iati.A~te -v;ti. him du'iH6
n very long career. He has been asso-
ciated with the road so long that he is
always considered part of the system,
good, reliable, and ever on time. Mr..
st. John entered the railway service in
1862; was clerk in the general ticket
Office and depot ticket agent of the
Quincy and Toledo Railroad at Quincy,
ILL, until its consolidation with the
Great Western Railroad, when he
assumed q clerkship with that COM
pany in its general ticket department
at Springfield, ILL.,, remaining in its SER
vice until July 3, 1868; on July 4,
1868, and until November, 1864, he was
employed as clerk in the general ticket
Office of the Chicago and Rock Island
Railway. Nov. l, 1864, to Sept. l,
1869, he was Chief Clerk in charge of
the general ticket department; Sept. l,
1869, he was appointed General Ticket
Agent, and Jan. /, 1879, he was APP
pointed General Ticket and Passenger
Agent, which position he continues to
fill. On Saturday, July A, Mr.. st.
John will ealahrafA- thA- tgAnty-aaeaa1
anniversary of his connection with the
Rock Island Road. Mr.. st. Johns
promotion is another illustration of the
well-known fact that the Rock Island
Road appreciates the merits of its Of
ficlals, and gives tangible evidence of
its appreciation.
