The death of Leonard SWEET takes
from Chicago one of its ablest and best
known citizens; from the bar one
of its great leaders. 1t lessons by one
the diminishing number ofthat small
band of men who were among the inti-
mate and trusted friends of Abraham
Lincoln. 1t is not strange that the two
men should have been so closely allied
as they were. They had many physi-
cal and mental points and traits in COM
mon. For those who did not know Mr..
Linceln well, Mr.. SWEET bore strong
personal resemblance to him. Although
Mr.. SWEET had not had perfect health
for'some years. and his death came un-
expectediy. That was, not unwelcome
to him however. The supplicatiOn Of
the Litapy from sudden death, good
Lord, deliver u.s. was not on his' lips.
What he dreaded was q slow and lin
gering death, and especially one that
should killthe mind before it did the
body. He had his wish, and his life.

happy one, had no me lancholy or dis.

The Hero ofthe Disaster.

The body of Daniel Peyton, the Paul Re-
we're of the Conemaugh Valley and the first
man to 60 down at the call of the demon of
death on Black Friday, was found beneath a
mass of broken trees at the base of the hill
west of Johnstown. It was horribly dis
figured, and the features of the man who
SACRIFICED his life that thousands of his fell
low beings might live were almost beyond
recognition. Daniel Peyton's name will go
down to history as among the greatest of
modern heroes. He it was to whom the mes
sage sent from South Fork by John G. Park.
to the effect that the dam was about to burst,
was conveyed. Needless of his own safety
young Peyton jumped upon horse and
started on his journey of warning through
Johnstown. Up one street and down another
he rode like mad, yelling at the top of his
voice for the people to flee to the hills. Some
took his advice, but others thought him a
maniac and paid no attention to his wild
note of alarm.
Finally the dam gave way, and the waters
came rushing down the ravine and into the
city. Like an assassin in pursuit of his vic
tim, the angry waters kept gaining on Pey-
ton at every turn. On and on he rode, and
nearer and nearer came the deluge of death.
At last it was within one hundred feet of him,
and coming like the wind. Finally the bank
hove in sight-a hayen of security was at
hand. Before the brave Lad reached it, how
ever, the message of death had called him
from his steed, and horse and rider, over
taken by the wate', were swept away into the
great beyond. l.

The Isle Gibraltar.

Many of onr readers have seen snd
admired this summer residence of the
famous financier Jay Cooke, who failed
for more money than any other and
has again grown rich, remarks the Fre-
mont Messenger.
An exchange says: When the war
broke out he lived out along Lake Erie
at Sanduskey, and Salmon p. Chase,
while Secretary of the treasury, first
gave him big start in life, which he
followed to disaster, and then built
anew from nothing. Mr.. Cooke never
forgot or neglected his home in Ohio,
and one of his charities is beautiful
home or an island in Lake Erie. a few
miles from Sanduskey, which he bought
and named "Gibraltar." He had it
laid out in wild, romantic walks, and
built commodious stone castle upon
it. He provided the house with every
imaginable comfort and put into it a
competent housekeeper. To this re-
treat he would invite each summer
ministers of the gospel of the different
denominations who could lily afford to
take summer vacation. l was called
there once on business and half a
dozen or more preachers were enjoying
his hospitality. Mr.. Cooke lives with
his son-in-law now, Mr.. Barney, who
does business near the famous old bank
ing house on Third street, in Philadel-
phia, over which Mr.. Cooke once pre-
sided, and where the Northern Pacific
railroad was projected. In many res
poets Jay Cooke will go down to history
as one of the remarkable men of our
time. In little church out at Frank :
ford, near Philadelphia, he has son
preaching to congregation who can
hardly afford to pay him salary enough
to liquidate his horse hire. So the cur
ious turns of life are again illustrated
in Mr. Cookies career and in that of the
family he has raised.

Upon the basis of vie residents TO, each
voter, the total population at the timeo the
food should have been close TO 80, 900. .''-"''
The Philadelphia Ledger, which is apt to to
unusually careful in its news gathering, has
had two special correspondents investigating
the same question, and thus editorially sums
up the results of their inquiries:
According to these estimates there was a
population Of between $1,000 and "a 900 in the
desolated section. As nearly as can be de-
termined from the census returns of 1880, the
population of that part of the country swept
by the waters was, nine years ago, about co.
600. sAtthenormal rate Of increase for Cam
bria c0unty.it should be In 1889 about q 900,
and itjisnot improbable that the estimate Of
3O,OOOaissA fair one, because of the special
activities leading to increase of population in
and about Johnstown. The inhabitants Of
some parts Of Johnstown were not exposed to
danger from the food. being on ground above
the Highest range of the water, but 1t seems 70
be not improbable that rs many as 15,OOOpeo-
pie may have been forced TO fee from or bat
tie with the water. How many fell even time
may not disclose.

g-The following fable told by an eastern
exchange contains a suggestive moral:
"Down in Indiana man went out hunting.
While he was out there came up big rain
and he sought shelter in hollow log. The
log soon became soaked with water and
swelled until the aparature was too small for
the man to get out again. There hs was in a
dilemma. He quickly reviewed his past life,
and when he came to remember that he was
not subscriber to his county paper he felt so
small that he crawled out of the log without
any trouble"

INNOCENCE ABROAD.
A Denouncer OF Democratic Frauds
Skips Or $40, 900 Short.

CHICAGO, June 8.-A special to the
Herald from San Francisco says: IA
sensation was caused here yesterday by
the disclosure that Morris G. Baum, a
prominent Republican politician and
secretary of the Republican county
committee, was fugitive in Europe;
having left here $40, 600 in notes bearing
forged Endorsements. Baum was
chief among those who charged frauds
at the ballot-box against the local
Democratic leaders. He was o sharp
young lawyer and had large business,
but gambling and women ruined him.

1t is said that the cause of q person
becoming cross-eyed is the using of one
eye more than the other. Where child
Is borne with one eye stronger than the
other, the muscles of the strong eye be-
come stronger by use and the weak one
weaker by disuse. The muscles get lax
and soft, and lose their controle over
the eye-ball, so that it falls into position
that produces cross-eyed sight, for the
rays of light coming to it intersect those
that come to the other eye. After it is
fully developed cutting the muscles is
the only remedy. If taken in time, and
the proper eyeglasses are adjusted by
a competent oculist. it may be pre-
vented. Childle EMS eyes should be ex-
amined early in life by an expert, to
see if the visual power of each eye is
equal.

tN Under this Republican rule trusts have
taken new impetus and the people in gen
eral are compelled to pay additional tribute
to monopolists. The latest is the express
trust, and all receiving or sending goods by
express will note that they pay higher rate
than formerly. This is not on account of
the express companies not paying dividends
large ones, too, for they made fortunes every
year, but it is done to grind more money

The Leland Stanford, Jr.. Universit,

The Leland Stanford, Jr.. University.
Mr.. G. II. Shepley, the architect of
the Leland Stanford, Jr., University,
states in the San Francisco Building
Advertiser that the work on the large
dormitory in connection with the uni
versity has been commenced. The
buildings completed, or nearly so, num-
Der fourteen, and consists of lecture
rooms, reception rooms, laboratories,
and all the requisite departments for a
complete educational course. The
dormitory will be situated about a
thousand feet from the other buildings.
1t will be 275 by 145, four stories high,
presenting very imposing structure.
The material used Is San Jose stone.
The building will accommodate two hun
dred students. Single rooms will be
18 by 26, and double rooms "a by 26s
Altogethe there will be from one hun
dred and twenty-five to one hundred
and fifty rooms. There will only be
one dining room for the two hunded
students, and this will occupy the GEN.
tral portion of the lower floor. The
kitchen, laundries, etc., are in the base
ment; but, as the dining room is raised
considerably above the floor on which
it is situated, there will be plenty of
light and air afforded for the basement.
All the fifteen buildings will be heated
by steam and lighted by electricity
from one central station placed in the
rear of the quadrangle. The univer-
sity will not resemble any of the east
ern universities to any great extent.
All the old colleges are built around
quadrangles, and in this one point the
Leland Stanford, Jr., University will
resemble them, butin no other. There
will be magnificent views froml all the
sleebing rooms of the dormitories.
