In this city, July 18th, Robt H. Hopkins +
Miss Laura B. Hicks
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1886-12-09

He was the most courteous and best
dressed gentleman in America AS presi-
dent he was approachable and kindly to all.
There was a grace and dignity in his pose
and bearing which might be commended to
all his countrymen. Whatever a president
could do to be both useful and ornamental to
the country, Arthur did, to the best Of his
ability. There is no doubt Of that. And
whatever he did was done in good taste. He
entertained SO generously and handsomely
that he spent nearly all his presidential sal
ary as he went. It is told that he had eighty
pairs of trousers at once.
The good will Of the larger portion Of the
Republican party slowly returned to him.
Even active hostility sank at least into In
difference.
So the boys dream of being a political
leader was fulfilled He had got his wish
and more than he expected. But it crushed
him at last The cloud of powder smoke
which settled down over him when the fatal
shot was fired at Garfield that July morning
never lifted. Great shocks and great worries
kill A thrilling scene was that in which, at
his home in New York, 1913 Lexington ave
nue., he took oath of Office as president of the
United States Garfield died between 10 and
IL o'clock p, M, Monday, Sept 10, 1881 A
few hours later, in the dead of night,
the presidential oath was administered to
Arthur by Judge John r, Brady, of the
supreme court OF New York, that The coun-
try might not be without president a
touching little incident at the time shows the
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1886-12-09

affection that existed between Arthur and
his children. Judge Brady has recalled it
since the death of the ex-president. He says;
''The scene which occurred after | had
finished my solemn duty was one of affection
which l will remember as long rs live, as 1t
is seldom that such marked devotion is seen
between father and child.
"District Attorney Rollins stepped forward
and offered his hand to congratulate the pres
ident, but before Gen. Arthur could raise his
hand his son Allan, who was as tall as his
father, sprang between them, saying, "Me
first, papaln and throwing his arms around
his father. kissed him The president folded
both arms around his son and fondly en-
braced him before he received The congratu-
lations of the rest of u.s. 1t was touching
scene, and one which left an impression on all
who were present"
He took his seat, and as time went on his
term became tranquil He lived down the
bitterness Of those who had been his enemies,
Then it was that the enemy whom no man
can stave off appeared. President Arthur
began to fail slightly at first, then more and
more. Liver and kidney arrangement, the
result of worry and intense suppressed feel
ing, appeared. His heart became seriously
enlarged. There was susceptibility to colds
which was troublesome, even dangerous.
Then his stomach began to fail. This man
of superb physique could no longer
digest his food. 1t could not be dis
guised; Brights disease-that grim fol-
lower of intense and long continued men
tai worry-had appeared. Then Arthur
and Arthurs physicians alike knew that it
was all up with him, though he was only Sc
when he died All the world began to speak
of him kindly and to recall his past good
deeds. So it is always with dying men. The
newspapers recalled among other things how
he alone had fought for and secured the right
of the colored race to ride in public convey
ances in New York city, the same as white
people.
For two years he had been an invalid,
knowing what the inevitable end would be.
Only a week before he died he said; "After
all, life is not worth living"
And yet he had had his wish.

EX-PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
FACTS, INCIDENTS AND REMINIS-
CENCES OF HIS CAREER.

His Royhood's Ambition Was to BE
Political Leader 80 He Had His Wish
and More, but Found That Life Was
Not Worth Living.
A few times after the spring Of 1885 a worn
looking, rather colorless man, with whitened
side whisllers, was to be seen walking about
Fifth avenue and Broadway, New York. 1t
was only a very few times, but those who
saw the worn looking man always turned to
look ut him the second time A thought
struck Them could that be ex-Presdent Ar
thur! 1t looked like his pictures, as they
had been seen hundreds of times, and yet
so changed.
1t was ex-President Arthur, and just so had
he changed, In the years from the summer
of 1881 to 1885 he turned from young man
to an old one 1t is not too much to say that
the shot which struck Garfield at last killed
Arthur.
The day that shot was fired Arthur was OH

come down by the night boat. 1t was in the

while President Cleveland was defeated by
nearly 1900 on the same ticket This year
Mr.. Adams was again put in nomination and
was successful Governor-elect Adams is but
SO years old and was born in Iowa county,
Wis His father was a country merchant
and gave his son common school education.
In 1871 young Adams started out to "hoe his
own row." He settled in Colorado and
worked for wages for awhile. Later he en-
gagged in the hardware business, which has
been his business since. In 1872 he married
and has boy II years old In 1876 Mr..

A notable building in many ways is the
structure erected in New York for the uses
of the Young Women's Christian association.
The Y. W. C. A. was planned in 1871 on the
principle of the young mems association Of
the same character. Its object is the spiritual
and temporal advancement of women For
the first there is Bible class with a mem
bership of 1000. A large hall is provided
in the center of the building for musical and
literary entertainments The applicant for
admission to the institution or for relief must
undergo a rigid examination in order to shut
out imposters. If she is found worthy Of
help her wants are provided for as follows:
If stranger in the city seeking a home the
association keeps list of several hundred
boarding houses known to be proper, either
by personal investigation or by reputation,
to which they recommend her If the appli-
can't is a servant they have regular "in-
telligence" office In needlework they have
three classes, so that girl may become pro-
ficient in this necessary adjunct to house
hold. For expert needleworkers they either
provide position or work. Ladies leave their
orders for needlework and have it executed
A speciality is made of children's garments
Last year there were 3,06S garments of this
kind made, the receipts for this department
amounting to $4,000 There are also classes
in writing, book keeping, arithmetic, phonog-
raphy and typewriting, while for those with
a genius for art, technical design and music
teachers of well known reputation are pro
vided. There is also library in the building
containing 10000 volumes,

Mr.. McNeill is an official in the Knights Of
Labor organization and is besides connected
with the statistical department Of the Massa-
chusetts labor bureau. 1t is odd how per-
sistently that word "labor" keeps popping up,
so that there is no avoiding it. The word
necesstates a repetition in writing that
would not be tolerated a moment in elegant
composition Just so, before the subject is
done with, the cause it represents will force
itself upon the notice Of circles that have
deemed themselves quite too elegant to listen
lit
George E. Mcneil is well qualified to write
book on the question Of the day. He was
born in Andover, Mass. His father was the
neighbor of and co-worker for freedom to the
slave with John G. Whittier in the old days
of rotten eggng and dead eating AboE-
tionists.
AS a boy George Mcneil worked in the
wooden factories of Andover. Then he
learned the shoemailer's trade Questions of
worliingmen's rights and duties were familiar
to him from an early age. The great factory
strike of 1851 took place while he worked in
the wooden mill He afterward became
high officer in the Sons Of Temperance, and
member of the Eight Hour league. He
was president Of the Eight Hour league for
eight years. He has worked as faithfully as
the original founders of the knights of Labor
for the education and enlightenment of work
ingmen, establishing numerous schools and
evening classes for them. 1t would take too
much space to name all the labor organiza-
tions which he has founded or been con-
nected with. He is man of electric energy
and iron strength, both of which have been
spent ceaselessly. He has been mechanic,
speaker, writer and editor, showing that
when man is harmoniously developed he
can do almost everything, and do it well.
But one Of the best of Mr. McNeill's achieve
ments is the writing Of his book on the his
tory of the labor movement.
The book is a work of over 600 pages, illus
trated with portraits of founders and leaders
of the lal.nr rlovemeMt. The first picture Of

In 1882 the United States exported
68,OO0 cattle; In 1883 the number rose to
rs 600, and In 1884 1t more than doubled
itself at a bound-reaching the grand
total Of 10000. In 1882 the total export
of dressed meat was 65,000000 pounds,
In 1888 1t rose to 100000 pounds, and
in 1884 1t jumped to 115, 100000 pounds,
an increase Of 80 per cent. in twelve
mnntha.

misunderstanding with England was speedily
settled, and there was no occasion to try the
novel defence suggested
Arthurs next important office was that of
collector of the port Of New York. To this
day in that city his administration of the
office is spoken of as a model one. 1t would
have gladdened the hearts of the civil service
reformers if they had existed at that time.
He made no changes at all except for cause,
and removals during his term were only 316
per cent of the force per year as against 2S
per cent in the time of his predecessor. Pro
motions were made by regular system of
advancement from lower to higher grades.
When nominated for the vice-presidency
he held no office except chairman of the state
republican committee of New York He
was q warm partisan and warm friend,
and this led to all the trouble which culmi-
mated in the assassination of Garfield. But

been said of him before, his behavior was

dent. EX-PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
The boat on which Arthur came to New
York was delayed by fog, and did not get in
till IL o'clock As it touched the dock a
messenger leaped on board. Senator Conk
ling stood on deck.
Clarified was shot at Washington this
morning." said the messenger to him.
Conkling turned without a word and went
into the vice-president's state room with news
of the tragedy. Arthur was never the same
man from that day on. He knew too well
what the opposition faction in the Republican
party would say and believe to the end of
time. 1t wore on his soul. He carried it
with him as burden by day and itlay beside
him close upon his heart by night, He was
over 6 feet tall, man of splendid physique,
but he was sensitive as a child. One Of his
intimate friends says since his death; "Ihe
assassination of Garfield nearly killed him" "
1t did so in fact From boyhood he had
wished to play great role in politics. More
than thirty years ago he said to school
friend:
''It is my ambition to be a politician. l
want to be a leader of men, and one who
helps to shape the policy of great political
party. 1 don't think there is any nobler
work for man than that"
He had his wish to the letter. From one
office of political preferment to another he
went till he reached the very top Every
place that he occupied, too, he filed with
distinguished ability. During the war he
was first Judge advocate of the Second brig
ade of New York, and afterwards engineer
in chief on the staff of Governor Morgan of
that state. In both these capacities he did
more than any other man in New York to
equip soldiers and forward them rapidly to
the seat of war, On the governors staff it
was part of his duties to look after the de-
fences of New York harbor
Matters looked rather serious at the time of

Gated tailor He was of an old American
Quaker family on his mothers side, on the
fathers his ancestors fought in the Revolu-
ton He studied for the Baptist ministry,
but compromised the matter and became a
tailor He taught school awhile, too. I'm
doubtedly it was his superior education which
gave him some advantages over his fellow
workmen. 1t was an educational organiZar
ton that he intended the Knights Of Labor to
be. But the order has so developed and en-
larged the original idea that it has become
not only a great industrial power but also
political one The six original "knights"
who with Mr.. Stevens, founded the organiza-
ton. were James S. Wright, Robert c. Ma
cauley, James NJ. Hilsee, William Cook,
Robert w Keen and Joseph S. Kennedy.
The meeting at which they signed their
names was held Dec. %, 1869.
