war he volunteered on the Union side, and
began military life as private in the Eighth
Delaware infantry. He won distinction by
his bravery and enjoyed singular immunity
from wounds and casualties. In the second
term of Grants administration he was ap-
pointed United States district attorney, and
held that position for eight years, displaying
great ability as a jurist and orator.
He attained prominence in political circles
ut an early age by opposing tho Delaware
law which imposes property qualification
upon suffrage. From the closing Of the war
ho has been an active politician, and has
come to be the Republican leader Of the
state. He has been delegate to every ma
tional convention, and is warm friend of
Blaine and Harrison. The present year
marks the first break in the Democratic su-
premacy in Delaware since the time OF John

laboriously adjust them over his nose and

WAITING FOR THE SMALL BOAT.
The illustration here given presents scene
of frequent occurrence on the Hackensack
river, which is crossed by the Pennsylvania
and tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroads. Over this river is drawbridge
through which only the smaller vessels pass,
and for which long trains loaded with passen-
gers have to wait. The two approach the
draw together The train is signaled to stop.
The vessel, probably sloop loaded with oys-
ters, struggles along with its sails tapping,
and against the tide, to the draw, only to get
stuck there and keep the train waiting till it
has been put through. Sometimes trains
have been delayed several hours in this way,
and the railroad has been blocked by half O
dozen trains on either side Of the river.
OF course the proper right of way could
not always be given to railroads. On such
rivers as the Hudson and the Mississippi
there arc often as important interests float
ing as are hauled by the railroads that cross
the streams. But it would seem that such
laws could be framed as would give the right
to the more important vehicle and prevent
trains Of steam cars loaded with hundreds if
not thousands of passengers from being de-
layed by couple of men carrying load OF
oysters to market.
The difficulty on tho coast comes from the
fact that the United States has maritime
jurisdiction over tide waters. OF course the
state cannot interfere in such cases, and the
United States cannot surrender preroga-
tive which is vested by the constitution.
Americans usually distance Englishmen in
cutting such knots, and it is to be hoped be-
fore long somo way may be discovered to
rive the right to the moro important route.

MRS. HARRISON.

man Of rare culture. She has long been q
prominent and active member of the Ladies'
Literary society of Indianapolis; she is fond
of the fine arts, especially painting, and has
done some dainty work herself on china. But
the influence Of study is not only refining;
it stimulates the better feelings as well; and
Mrs. Harrison not only devotcs herself to her
literary society and her painting, but is an
earnest laborer in the field of the poor. A
great deal of her attention is given to the In
dianapolis orphans home.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison were married when
very young. Tho husband was only 20 and
the wife was younger. With only $500 on
which to begin the world, beside Harrison's
theoretic knowledge of the law, gained by
study of his profession, the youthful couple
went to Indianapolis They settled in one
story frame cottage, and commenced career
that has never since known q check.
While Mrs. Harrison has never known great
wealth she has never known poverty. Her
husband has been sufficiently prominent to
give her position socially to which she is i'll
every way fitted by nature. Her polish is,
however, rather intellectual than that Of the
woman Of fashion.
Beth Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison arc also prom
inent in church circles. For years they have
been in regular attendance at one of the
PRESBYTERIAN churches in indianapolis, and
active in the Bible classes and Sunday schools.
Doubtless this will have its effect in Wash
ington society. The influence Of the White
House is ell powerful there, and social circles
during tho winter Of 1SS9-90 may, perhaps,
wear moro subdued complexion than dur
ing the social administration of Mrs. Cleve-
land.
Mrs Morton, who is to be the second lady
in the land, partakes more of tho type of
New York's mere brilliant social circles
Mrs. Morton, as her maiden nane-Anne
Livingston Street-indicates, comes from
among the aristocratic families Of the Empire
state. She was born at foughkeepsie, on the
Hudson, a town as noted for its educational
tone in New York as Oxford is in Ohio. It
is there taat Vassar college dourishes, end as
Mrs. Morton is still young woman,
vassar was founded not too late to bring to
bear upon her through tho society of Pough-
kecpsio something Of the samo influence
brought to bear by the atmosphere OF learn
ing Of Oxford upon Mrs. Harrison.
But Mrs Morton has had other influences.
She passed some time in New York society,
where she met Mr.. Morton. Their marriage
followed. He is very rich, and his wife had
always been accustomed to wealth. She IS
described as woman Of medium height,
with large blush gray eyes, white COM
plcSion and gray hair. She is the mother OF
I've daughters, the Oldest Of whom is IA.

It is natural that at this time the nation
should be thinking about the woman who is
to be the next mistress of the White House.
From the young Mrs. Cleveland, who has
made so many friends, and who won the ad-
niration OF both Democrats and Republf-
cans, the nations eyes are to turn to Mr..
Harrison, q matron more than quarter Of
a century older.
Both are marked women, however, though

When Benjamin Harrison was student ct
Oxford, O., he met Miss Scott, the daughter
OF the professor of chemistry at the uni
versity. Professor Scott, who is now very
old mamie is over 6O-has a position in
the pension Office at Washington. There was
love affair, with the inevitable result in
those days in the west, when wealth was not

after married.
In her youth Mrs Harrison lived in an ut

perienced affected her whole life. She is wo-

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 12-There is an old
unwritten English law-eo old that it was
given to the British by the Romans-that tho
right of way shall always be with vessels on
navigable streams. The law was we'll enough
when the more important vehicles for trans
portation Of people or goods were on the
water. It was proper that an English ship
or barge should not be stopped by bridge
for crossing, q coach loaded with half
dozen passengers, or huckster's cart filed
with cabbages. But in these days the condi-
tions are changed. Tho moro important We
hicles are mostly on tho land, and many Of
the smaller streams have become obstacles on
great routes of travel.

There is no danger Of that, however. The

Mrs. Morton's influence will be felt in

Harrison.
Whatever be the coming influence of these
two women, there is doubtless as much
speculation about it among the women OF
Washington society as there is about the
future cabinet among the men. Time will

in America.
Boston is one of the most cluba ne cities in
the United States, but all of the clubs-and
there are many of them-havo certain
fixed purpose and represent certain class or
sect. There is certain spirit Of gravity
pervading the clubs of Boston that cannot be
found in eny other city OF the United States.
The clubs are all eminently intellectual.

They all represent classes. Such q club as

where you can put your feet on the window

very ultra) was, until a few years ago, al
most unknown in Boston.
There years ago, however, the Algonquin
club was organized. The Algonquin differs
from other Boston clubs in this, that its pur
poses are very liberal indeed, and that its
membership is confined to no class or classes
in the community, as any man who is respon-
sible and honorable and acceptable in the
best sense is welcome as q member, provid-
ing, of course, there is a vacancy. Descent
from colonial times. wealth or occupation
have no bearin. upon candidacy in this Or
ganization.
The club recently built q new club house
It is the largest and finest club building in
the United States. The style is that of the
Italian renaissance. The building is six
stories high, with frontage Of 81 feet and O
depth of about l25 feet The interior decora-
tion is of an elegant order, although, while
tho effect is rich, the treatment is simple.
The main entrance is direct from the side
walk and in the center of the building Ono
first passes a splendid pair of ornamental
iron gates and then massive doors of English
oak, and enters upon a long hall iloored with
marble and c.nalnented with dados and pill
lars of alabaster. The rooms are magniti-
Gently finished and furnished. Some of the
walls are covered with painted French sills
in different colors, and others are covered by
colors.
The most splendid apartment in the club
house is the dining room, the largest room in
the building. It is finished i'll mahogony OF
rich tone and high polish. 1t is lighted by
colossal chandelier, :ln antique Dutch candle
labra dating from 1912, and ingcniously ar
ranged for gas. 1t weighs nearly half ton.
There are apartments for ladies also-lead-
