WASHINGTON, D. c., March New
York cabinet stock had an upward ten
dency this evening, and after a lengthy
conference between the leaders of the
two factions. it was determined to throw
Miller and Platt overheard and en-
deavor to secure the naval portfolio for
an Empire state Republican. The man.
tie fell on the shoulders of Gen. B. F.
Tracey, of Brooklyn, who was one of the
counsel in the Beecher trial, and rep
resentatiVe Kings county Republican
politician. 1t was deemed utterly at
variance with the claims of New York
to consent to the bestowal of the agri-
cultural department upon one of
decided upon instead. Objection was
raised against Gen. Tracey that he had
been identified with the Platt wing of
the party, but this obstacle was quickly
brushed aside by the declaration that
he was conservative party man, and
he seemed TO be acceptable to both
sides. Consequently his name will be
submitted to Gen. Harrison tomorrow,
and the indications are that he will be
chosen to sit at the cabinet table as the
successor of Secretary Whitney. Sena-
IOf Palmer, or Michigan, is undoubtedly
backed for the agricultural department,
and the only difficulty in the way seems
to be whether he will take it or not
In conversation Oh the subject this
afternoon, the senator stated that when
he came to the senate chamber and
heard the appeals of his friends he was
inclined to forego his determination to
leave public life and remain in harness
for another term, but when he consulted
his family he invariably found himself
wavering between domesticity and duty.
He was very much like the chap who
was courting the girl, he was afraid to
ask her to have him because she might
refuse or accept him and in either
case he would be sorry he spoke.
AS secretary of agriculture, however,
Senator Palmer would have little to do
except sit around and make himself or
namental, and. as he is very popular in
this city, he is being urged on all sides
to accede to Gen. Harrison's request.
Hon. William Window was strOiling
leiSurely down the avenue this after
noon, when the GLOBE representative
met him. In reply to query he said
that he thought he could be addressed
as ''Mr. Secretary" with impunity, and
this is the prevalent opinion among
those fully informed.

ing. jealousy was the cause. Skeels
bought the Panther saloon a few
months ago. He came from the CGur
d'Alene mines, when he met and mar
ried his wife, with whom he had been
previously living, in accordance with
the custom of the country. Some time
ago she became jealous of his atten-
tions to other women, two actresses
being particularly conspicuous. He
was visiting them at their rooms in
what is known as the Actors Flat, a
lodging house on Howard street. Mrs.
SIX eels learned that he was there and
sent messenger boy after him, but he
Jailed to come. She then, accompanied
by the messenger boy, went to pawn
shop on Riverside avenue and purchased
"bulidog" revolver. She loaded her
pistOl, land, accompanied by the boy, went
to the place where her husband was.
She sent the boy to room No. 5 to en-
quire tOr him, but was told he was not
there, and she sent the boy to room No.
2, but he returned with word that the
parties in that room did not know any
such person as SkeelS. She sent the
boy DacK again, however, WlIn Inc
message that some friend, whose name
she mentioned, wanted to see Skeels.
As he came out of the room in answer
to this last call she began firing at him,
shooting four times and hitting him
three times. SkeelS had his coat IN his
hand, which he dropped. The messen-
ger boy, in terror, fled to neighboring
room the moment the shooting COM
menced. He returned after it was over,
however. and the woman gave him
Skeel's coat. and together they fed
down the back stairs. Mrs. Skeels was
SO excited that she had forgotten where
her rooms were, and could not find the
Pantheon until the boy showed her
where it was. Skeels made his escape
to the street where crowd soon gath
cred, and he was taken to his rooms.

hotel in Madrid to-day was Pigott. In
assuming an alias he evidently chose a
name whose initials would correspond
with those On his luggage. No papers
were found upon his person. but his
description is identical with that of a
man who called at the Hotel Deux
Mondes in Paris and left suddenly.
When Pigott was arrested he took
toretire to an ante-room to obtain his
cloak. A moment later the sound of the
pistol shot was heard, and on entering
the room the officers found Pigott dead.
He had shot himself in the mouth, dying
instantly.

The Man Who First Put the "Star Span
gled Banner in Type.
At the recent celebration in Ralti-
more of the seventy anniversary
of the bombardment of Fort McHenry
and the composition by Key of THE
Star-Spangled Banner" was present
Samuel Sands, who is probably the
oldest printer living, and who, while
a printer in the Office of the Baltimore
American, in 1914, first put that song
in type from the authors original
manuscript and distributed it through
the streets of that city. This fact and
the other one that in 1885, in the first
campaign of William Henry Harrison,
he had published Whig campaign
paper, the Freeman's Banner, led him
to ask permission during break in
the industrial parade to pay his re-
spects to President Harrison, but the
chairman of tho occasion refused to
allow him to ascend the platform, not
recognizing that he was probably the
only person in that vast throng pres
ent with any personal connection with
the events being honored. Mr.. Sands
went to his trade at the age of eleven
years. and, escaping the customary
devils" duties, was put at once to
learn 1.-The case" standing on a
pile of empty cases to reach his
work. At sixteen he was fore
man of the Office. During his career
he has published a number of papers,
including several political sheets. He
was always an ardent Whig, and for
many years secretary of the State CEN
trail committee of that party in Mary
land. During the rebellion he was an
enthusiastic Unionist, and through
most of it the editorial writer of the
Baltimore Clipper. For nearly fifty
years he published the American
Farmer, one of the earliest of agricult-
ural papers in this country, and with
which he maintains still nominal
connection, it being now conducted by
his son. He is the only printer in his
city who has been president of the
Journeymen's and later president of
the Employing Printers associations.
Mr. Sands is now in his ninetieth year,
enjoying excellent health, his mental
faculties little dimmed, though his
sight is failing. In a recent letter to
the Baltimore American he states that
he remembers hearing distinctly the
bombardment, though he didn't see
"the bombs bursting in air." He alone
of the compositOrs remained in the
! Office, being too young to go with the
others into the trenches, and this cir
cumstance led to his name being linked

TWO NOBLE EXAMPLES.
Men Whose Lives illustrated the Ptihet-
pie of Common Brotherhood.

pie OF COmm mon
Two illustrious examples OF self-sac-
rifiee, or rather, self-forgetfulness, in
devotion to benevolent work, have
given the world cause of late to reflect
upon the higher virtues of human char
acter. Father Damien dying among
the Sandwich Island lepers, and Mr..
Crossett dying among the Chinese
seem to us as nearly perfect types OF
unselfishness as modern civilization has
produced.
Mr.. Darwin has been reported as
saying that for one example of pure
unselfishness in human conduct he
would surrender his theory OF
the descent of man. Would not
the careers of such men as
these respond to his requisition? Pos
sibly, however. the disciple of the
eminent naturalist would plead that
these men were moved by moral or
religious motive, high and excellent, to
be sure, in its nature. yet related to a
potent expectation of a future or
Heavenly reward; and, therefore, that
they could not be said to be altogether
free from a kind of selfishness. Ii
such conduct must be rated in the
category of self-seeking, then let us
have more of it for the sake of the
ignorant and suffering millions in the
world. Surely his must be soul
despicably mean who would disparage
the man who gives himself up to
philanthropic work, at nobody's cost
but his own.
A few years ago plain man of quiet
demeanor conferred with us on the
subject of Chinese and Hindo char
acter. He gave the name of Crossett
and intimated that he was preparing
to go to the East in the character of
a missionary This man impressed us
by his spirit of determination and
earnestness, yet there was nothing ef-
fusive in language or manner. He was
the same man whose death has just
been reported, and of whose unremit-
ting devotion to the unfortunate and
sick of the common Chinese popula-
tion the press has taken account very
properly.
We rejoice in noting such men.
Their lives fill us with respect and ad-
miration for the nobility of human nat
ure. We care not whence they or we
have comedy whatsoever lines of
descent" or evolution-the glory of a
high conservation to deeds of charity
amid circumstances that are repelant
to the great majority can not be dim
med by any criticism. They illustrate
the grand principle of common broth
erhood in man, and bring out into
vivid light those exalted elements that
are the property of human nature only.
