one jeweler. one detective, and one re-

some of that oil and a little No Old Crow. !"
The bartender slowly placed five glasses on the
counter, and producing bottle filled with a
cream -colored mixture, poured out obout an
ounce of the fluid in each glass Then a gener-
erous quantity of Kentuckys product was placed
above, and each drinker swallowed the concoc-
ton. 1t was not unpleasant.
''What is it?" asked the reporter.
"Codliver oil and whisky" replied the gentle
man. proudly. II was the first to bring it be-
fore the public and now it's all the rage in

Why MIR. Burnham Wanted Miss Sanborn.


Correspondence Philadelphia Record.
The Burnham-S anborn affair was rather inter
esting not only for the difference in the ages of
the contracting parties but that they were both
such well-knOwn people. Miss Sanborn was at
one time teacher of English literature at Smith
College, in New Hampshire, and has been lee
turer on literary subjects and writer and com
piler Of books. She made quite a successful
calendar year or two ago, called the Sunshine
Calendar and she has invented chart system
Miss Sanborn is about thirty-seve or thirty
eight years OF age; is decided blonde.
and rather stout than slim. She would
be called good-looking woman by
most persons. but to me she is a little
too much on the voluptuous order Mr. Burn
ham was in his eghtythird year when he died;
but up to the time of his death he was hale and
hearty and really did not look his age He had
been married twice His second wife died only
ayear ago Mr.. Burnham, who leaves So. 900, 000
made his money In the manufacturing business
and had large interests in Waterbury, Conn.
where he was president of three different COM
panieS. He has been more or less pubicspirited
as citizen. and lived In handsome style on the
corner of Eighteenth street and Fifth-avenue
diagonaly opposite the Belmonts and directly
opposite the late Marshall 0. Roberts residence.
Mr. Burnham had a hobby, which he rode
with a good deal of enthusiasm, and that hobby
was Daniel Webster. He erected statue to
the memory Of that distinguished statesman in
Central Park some time ago, and he was a great
collector of everything associated with Webster
Miss Sanborn was grand-niece of Daniel Web
ster, and Mr. Burnham naturally wanted to have
her in his collection. They hardly met before
they became engaged and they were hardly
engaged before the wedding day was fixed 1t
would have been good thing for Miss
Sanborn from a financial point of view. for if
she had only her widows third she would
have been very wealthy woman. AS it is,
Mr. Burnham has left her $3.50, 900. Ordinarily
wellinvested. this will pay her $4,000 year,
which is much better than teaching school or
making calendars.

Arthur wept.
Artnt
Washincton Letter.

There is a great deal of gossip about the Clos
ing days of Arthurs term at the White House.
One of the most pathetic incidents of the closing
chapter of Arthurs social history was a meeting
held in the library two three nights before he
left the house. Ali the ladies who belonged to
the White House circle were present at this
meeting There were no gentlemen present
The ladies had come for the purpose of express
ing to the President the heartfelt sorrow for his
retirement. One of them made very pretty
speech After it was delivered, several of the
ladies burst into tears The President made g
short speech in reply. 1t is said that ne, too.
burst into tears 1t is great pity that the
sacred character of this pathetic incident has
prevented the correct reports of the speeches
upon this occasion getting out to the newspapers

Confined to q Chair for Twenty Nine Years
by Sickness.
Matthew Rankins who died at his home in
Lewiston, Me-, OH Thursday, aged forty seven
years, passed the last twenty nine years Of his
life in chair, in which he has stayed both night
and day. Thirty five years ago he was a bright
and active boy. An accident happened to him
at play at school, A boy tripped him. and the
two fell together he beneath. The fall Of the
other boy upon him crushed his spine. He was
twelve years old then He was taken home that
day helpless He subsequently able to
walk about little, but gradually little by little,
lost the useuof his limbs. Every day he stepped
less and less. Every day he was less able to use
his arms.
AT the end of few years his limbs became
rigid. He could no longer walk out of DOORS
and, finally, the outer world shut out forever
and henceforth for Matthew Rankins the world
was to be comprised within the four walls, tina
armchair and the glimpses from out of the win
dows The chair became his bed. He sat in 1t
during the day. and when night came it was
tilted back a little, and quilts thrown over him
when he slept Pains racked his body. His limbs
became disjointed. One thumb joint has been
of late years the only perfect one in his body.
He could at first whittle, but finally could not.
He could only move his hands up and down
little. His eyes were bright, however, and his
tongue ready. His sufferings brought the intel
lectual. patient look to his face He could read
by appliances by which he was enabled to use
the wrist motion to turn by means Of hook
the leaves Of his Bible or the newspaper.
He wrote also with penstock two feet in
length. He had clear, intelligent face, and
delighted to converse with those who cared to
call upon him. He was resigned and uncom-
planning. His marked characteristic was his
Christian spirit Nobody could find fault with
the Creator in his presence. My lot said ne

The Test of Prohibition.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
It is the French woman who seems to Sidney
Smith almost always to have wanted the flavor
of prohibition as necessary continent of hui
man life. 1t is the French woman who said ice
cream would be delicious if only it were wicked
to eat it, We are all French women. We all
like liquor "unexcised by kings" The well-be-
haved Milwaukee man, who is Indifferent to the
temptations of the refreshing lager when he can
get it unchallenged for five cents glass; when
in Iowa will resort to every expedient to obtain
glass of stale beer for fifteen cents. He will
deploy through dark alleys, skirmsh about
disreputable back doors, exchange winks with
degraded characters, and become sociable with
inebriates, in order to obtain drink that is
prohibited, solely because it is prohibited. This
perverse and apparently weak characteristic has
whoever commands and prohibits must show
some other authority than mere force; must con-
vince the reason of the justice of the prohibit
ton. This trait springs from a principle that
hasdo more than any other to break the tyran-
ny of physical force and to give the soul of man
freedom to expand.

JOAQUIN MILLER's MOTHER.
Qoiet Talk with the Mother of the Poet of
the SierraS.

Eugene, Ore, Special to New York Sun.
On farm among gently undulating hills, four
miles from Eugene. on the east side Of the Will
lamette river, resides Mrs. Allison Miller,
Sierras" Over year ago, despite the protests
of her sons, she married Joe Allison, farm
hand, some nineteen years of age. AS Mrs.
Miller was upward of sixty-fve, the marriage
proved anything but happy one. The boy de-
serted her. and during the recent dreadfully
cold weather she lived all alone, struggling
through the snow two or three times day to
feed her horses and cattle. 1t is on this
farm that the poet grew towards mans
estate, save when he was living
joying camp life and tbs pursuits of the chase.
The house is plain and unpretentious. The
fences are in poor repair, although the owner is
reputed to DE rich among her neighbors having
many hundred acres.

Bret Harte spent many of his days." said cor
respondent of the Sun to Mrs. Miller.

much of a poet myself as Joaquin" she said,
producing from the depths of an aged trunk a

in sixteen cantos that wrote myself. Oh, yes,
we all dabble little in poetry"

since. 1 used to try to make him OUTFIT, think

several letters lately received from him." said
she, reaching toward convenient shelf. "I'm
glad on the WHOLE that Joaquin didn't take my
advice, and that he continued to do as he pleased
and write poetry. The first poem he wrote that
attracted attention was one on the planting of
the class tree at the old Lane County
Academy, where the State University now
stands. 1t was copied in all the papers. He
ran weekly in Eugene during the war 1t was

roughs from Long Tom creek over here swooped
down and demolished the Office. Then he prac-
ticed law while at Baker City, and afterward
he wrote his Songs Of the Sierras, which
brought him into prominence.
Mrs. Miller is tall and somewhat angular. Her
hair is well silvered over with gray, and her
eyes, once dark, are now dimmed True to the
habits of the pioneer. she braves her difficulties
resolutely dries her tears over her recent mat

Senator Edmunds is the peculiar character in

in the Senate The object of respect and terror
among his colleagues, in his actions perfect
enigma so that those who have served longest
with him in the Senate years ago gave up trying
to fathom his motives or to understand the vari
Gus workings of his mind. The others regard
him as an indispensable adjunct of the Senate,
but not one knows whether he is friend or an
enemy, or pretends to predict what he will do
tomorrow. But he is. so far as one person can
be, the autocrat of the Senate, and whether he
takes I'D Central America or the newspaper re-

On the other hand, roller skating would be-
come as insipid as Copenhagen with the kisses
left out, if it should receive the sanction of all
good people. If the preachers and the Sunday
school superintendent would go to the Kinks with

exceed excess, and the amusement would be val
