Still in the Firm.

Norwich, Conn, special to the New York
World says: IN. o. Barker. Of Lebanon, has
Just received his commission as postmaster
for that place, vice Frank P. Fowler, removed"
Under this apparently unimportant bit of
news is concealed an interesting little story of
the past, present and future location of the
Lebanon post-ofice. Mr.. Fowler was appointed
postmaster by President Cleveland, nearly four
years ago to succeed Mr.. Barker, who had held
the Office for sixteen years. Now Mr.. Barker has
been reinstated. The point Of the story Is that
Messrs. Barker and Fowler are the members Of
grocery firm and the change in postmasters
has made no change in location of the Office or
the personnel Of the officials, except that in one
case Mr.. Barker has been assistant to Mr..
Fowler, and in the other case Mr.. Fowler
will now become assistant to Mr.. Barker.
The Lebanon post-ofRce has therefore occupied
the same location for the past twenty years,
and has been operated BY the same people in
spite Of partisrn changes Of postmasters BY 10

of establishing a camp Of instruction for
the National Guard at Fort Foote or

Maryland Jockey Club Election.

BALTIMORE, May 1S-The semi-annual meet
ing of the Maryland Jockey club was held this
afternoon. The old board of directors, with
ex-Gov. Bowie as president, was reelected.
Gov. Bowie's statement shows that the spring
meeting at Pimlico was financial fall
ure. 1t was DUE he said, to the fact that meets
we're held at the same time at several tracks in
the north and other sections. The re-
ceipts from bookmakers privileges last
week were 81, 200 against SO, 900 last spring.
and there were similar Deficiencies from other
sources. The lease on the Pimlico track ex-
pires at the close of the meeting next fall and
it is doubtful if it will be renewed. The whole
matter was referred to the executive commit
tee. who will decide whether the club will ex-
list as a social club merely, or maintain the rae
ing feature.

continued by her heirs. judg-
ment was expected more than two years ago,
but the decision of the court has been delayed

lower court as far as it related to the income
from the improved property, S576,777 and in
terest, but disallowed that part of the judg-
ment awarding S1,34S,OOO for revenue on the

How John Bright Changed.


All who have seen much of Mr.. Bright in re-
cent years must have been strongly conscious of
the remarkable softening and mellowing of his
character which accompanied the advance of
age. Always delightful companion with those
esteem, he was in his earlier years somewhat I'M
approachable. a little apt to look upon strangers
who sought to interview him with suspicion.
Doubtless this was in part due to his experience
in the days when he was SO holly abused
by a certain section of London society and
the London press, and when a Newcastle
journalist went SO far as to suggest, in an
to Alnwick, that it would be well if some
Northumbrian farmer were to horsewhip him
publicly. He was very apt to resent attempts
made by mere self-seekers to force themselves
upon his notice. and no Establishments of flat
terry which might be used on such occasions
had any effect upon him. Indeed, his plainness
of speech was sometimes disconcerting to those
whom he addressed. $50 away, sir; you are
drunk" were the words in which he once re-
sponded TO the maudlin attempts of a certain
politician Of dubious fame to express his admit
ration Of his character and achievements. But
all through his life, and more especially in re-
cent years, he was quick to sympathize with
the young, eager to respond to those who were
working for ends which he believed to be
worthy and noble and ever ready to draw from
the vast stores of his own knowledge and expe-
rience for the benefit of others. Since his
withdrawal from Mr.. Gladstone's government
in 1882 he has been enjoying a kind Of Indian
summer OF existence, a season made all the
more pleasant to him by the contrast it afforded
to the somewhat stormy heyday of his political
career. 1t has been delightful during this Pc
riod of calm and repose to come in contact
with him.
