He Was Talking to the Officer OF the
Day.
From the Ne1O York tribune.

from the Ne1o YORK. tribune.
A few evenings ago the sergeant of the
guard at the York street gate of the Brook
Ign navy yard took one or two drinks of a
beverage prohibited by the regulations. The
effect WIS to make the usually sedate sergeant
fee in the humor for perpetrating practical
joke. He therefore rang the bell of the tele-
phone connecting the guardhonse with the
Marine Barracks. He knew that at that
hour no one would be there to answer the
telephone except another sergeant In fact
the man with whom he had just smiled" be-
fore coming on duty.
'Hello who is it2'' came back through the
''phone," and the sergeant recognized, or
thought he recognized, his friends voice.
"Sergt. s." he replied. II am awfully
drunk. Send me a relief" Then he laughed,
closed the telephone and sat down to do some
writing. After a little while there appeared
an officer and a sergeant.

"That will do" said the officer sternly. 81

Report yourself under arrest" And the I'M
fortunate sergeant went back to the barracks
under arrest to await the action of a general
court martial. Unfortunately for him the
officer of the day and not his friend was at the
other end of the wire when he perpetrated

was sober he will have to admit that as SER

The New York Doodle Aldermen

The New York Doodle Aldermen.
There is a great deal of speculation in
New York relative to the prob
ability of cOnvicting others of the
'boodle" Aldermen. The testimony
on which Alderman Jaehne was
convicted was that OF Chief Detec-
tive Byrnes and TWO of his men. The de-
tectives testified to a confession that
Jaehne had made TO Byrnes, in which he
admitted that be had received $40, 900 for
his vote in the Broadway Surface railway
charter business. OF course Jaehne, who
was a witness in his own behalf, denied
that be received a cent for his vote, or
that he ever confessed that he did. The
Jurors believed the detectives. On
their first ballot they stood ten for con-
viction and two for acquittal. Inside of
two hours, however, a unanimous verdict
was reached.
Jaehne was defended by two of the
ablest lawyers in the country, who say
that they will save their client from the
penitentiary. 1t is probable, however,
that they are simply trying to keep up
Jaehne's spirits while they are making
their last and rather hopeless efforts in
his behalf
There appears to be doubts about the
ability of the State to convict Others Of
those indicted. No one Of them has made
confession as Jaehne did and it is
stated that no one OF them is in posi-
tion TO become a witness against the
others. the "boodle," 1t is alleged, was
distributed so that no one of those Impli-
Gated saw what the others got, or that
they got anything.
Much reliance, it Is alleged, is placed
on the testimony OF Alderman Waite, but
he IS correctly reported he knows moth
ing OF a eliminating character. The Dis
trict Attorney and mis- assistants, how
ever, appear TO be very confident, and it
is not improbable that they have testi-
mony Of which the public knows nothing
whatever. If the entire number OF those
indicted should be convicted 1t would
clear the moral atmosphere in political
circles in New York, and insure honesty
in the management Of the city's affairs for
awhile at least.

president, General Arthur was nomn-
ated for president, receiving 46S
votes on the first ballot, against 2S3 for
all others. During the canvass he was
chairman of the New York republican
state committee, and the result was q
plurality of 81 900 for Garfield and Ar
thur against one of $4,000 for Tilden
and Hendricks in 1876. VicePresident
President Arthur presided over the ex-
citing session of the senate which be-
gan March A, 1881, and continued until
May 20. On September 20, 1881, the
day after the death of Garfield, he took
the oath as president before Judge
Brady in New York, and on the 22d the
oath was formally administered in the
capitol at Washington by Chief Justice
Waite. President Arthur filed the ex-
ecutive office with dignity, ability, and
good judgment, and left the presiden-
tial chair with the high esteem of the
people, without distinction of party.
His state papers were simple and direct
in style, and his administration was
conservative, and promoted the bust
ness interests of the country. Mr.. Ar
thurs name was presented to the re-
publican national convention in 1884,
and his highest vote was 27S against
$40 for all others. His administration
was strongly endorsed in the platform
of the convention, and the republican
conventions in all the states had previ-
ously adopted commendatory resolu-
tons. President Arthur's wife, who
was the daughter of Commander Hern-
don (who persisted in gale at sea in
1850 died in 1880, leaving a son and
daughter, who still survive.

Death of Ex.President Arthur.

EX-Presideut Chester A. Arthur died
in New York city, at five O'Clock,
Thursday morning, after long illness.
His death was unexpected at this time,
it not being known outside his house
that he was in any immediate danger.
He was born in Fairfield, VT, October
5, 1880, and was the son of Rev. Will
liam Arthur, Baptist clergyman. He
entered Union College when fifteen
years of age and graduated in 1913
with high honors. While studying law
he supported himself by teaching; and
when preceptor of an academy at North
Pownal, VT, he had as fellow in
structor for few months President
Garfield. In 1853 Mr.. Arthur became
member of law firm in New York.
Among the cases handled by him with
success were several in the interests of
the slaves and freedmen. He was a
Henry Clay whig, and cast his first
vote in 1862 for Winfield Scott for pres
lucut. liz tooh pdil III lhC Hiol lcpup-
lican state convention at Saratoga, and
actively participated in the Fremont
campaign of 1856. Governor Edwin
ID. Morgan, upon entering upon his
second term of Office in 1861 appointed
Mr.. Arthur on his staff as engineer in
chief, with the rank of brigadier-gen-
eral. During the civil war General
Arthur successfully filled the positions
of quartermaster-gener and inspector
general, and performed efficient service
in preparing and forwarding the states
troops.
From 1862 to 1872 General Arthur
was engaged in active and continuous
law practice, and continued to take an
active interest in politics. November
20, 1871, President Grant appointed
him collector of the port of New York,
and on December II, 1876, he was NOM
mated for a second term, and confirmed
by the senate on the same day, cour-
tesy never before extended to an APP
pointee who had not been senator.
He retained the office until July II,
1878, thus serving about six and two
thirds years. Upon retiring from the
office of collector General Arthur re.
sumed law practice. In 1880 he advo

EX-PREsIDENT ARTHUR was an able
and shrewd political manager, and his
career as politician was looked upon
by great many people as detracting
somewhat from his abilities as a states
man; but, as has been well said, when
he assumed the larger duties of the
chief executive he rose above the poll
tician into the field of practical states
manship with eminent success. Com
ing to the presidency under the most
trying circumstances he proved sat
isfactory president, and the verdict of
the country was one of high apprecia-
ton of his services.
