touching little incident at the time shows the
affection that existed between Arthur and
his children. Judge Brady has recailed.it
since the death OF the ex-prestdent. He says:
THE scene which occurred after | had
finished my solemn duty was one of affection
which | will remember as long rs | live, as it
is seldom that such marked devotion is seen
between father and child.
''District Attorney Rollins stepped forward
and offered his hand 70 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, papalT 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 us. It was a 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
Gina E-u- Al '"o q SAaNSPbibiitpJ " Wills
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; Bright's d~isease-that grim fol-
lower of intense and long continued men
tai worry-had appeared. Then Arthur
and Arthur's 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: q AFTER
all, life is not worth living" a...g-
And yet he had had his wish.

NEW YORK HOME. PLY, however, the
misunderstanding with England was speedily
settled, and there was no occasion to try the
novel defence suggested.
Arthui's next important office was that of
collector of the port of New York. To this
dayFin that city his administration of the
office is spoken of as a model one. 1t would
have gladdened the hearts or the civil service
reforners if they had existed at that time.
He made no changes at all except for cause,
and removals during his term were only 81
per cent. of the force per year as against %
per cent in the time of his predecessor. Pro
motions were made by a 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 a warm partisan and a warm friend,
and this ledt to all the trouble which culmi-
mated in the assassination of Garfield. But
after that tragic event, whatever could have
been said of him before, his behavior was
unexceptionable.
Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1886-12-04

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 DE- to be both useful and 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
airy as he went. 1t 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 ii crushed
him at last. The cloud of powder smoke
which settled down over him when the fatal
shot WIS fired at Garfield that July morning
never lifted. Great shocks and great worries
kill. a thrilling scene was that in which, at
his bone in New York, 1913 Lexington ave,
nue.. he took oath of Office as president of the
United States Garfield died between 10 and

structure erected in New York for the uses
of the Young Women's Christian association.
The Y. w. {. 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 a Bible class with a mem
bership of 900 A large hall is provided
in the center of the h~uiihing 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:

cant is a servant they have a regular Gin

three classes, so that a girl may become pro-
ticlent in this necessary adjunct to q house

provide a position or work. Ladies leave their
orders for n~eedlework and have it executed.

Last year there were S,06S garments of this
kind made, the receipts for this department
amounting to $1,000. There are also classes
in writing, book keeping, arithmetic, nhonog-

a genius for art, technical design and music
teachers of well known reputation are pro-
yided. There is also a library in the building
containing 10000 volumes.
