The extra day given to the month of

of Julius Caesar, VINO first noticed that
twelve lunar months were not quite enough
to constitute u solar year. while thirteen
were too many. Julius also noted the fact
that 365 days were not enough for the year
and that 3GG exceeded what the calendar
called for. Caesar corrected this error by
constituting every fourth year to consist
of 366 days and the others of 365 each. The
long or leap year was always known TO be
an exact multiple Of four This calendar
was called the Julian and the mode of
reckoning 'old style
This was quite an improvement on the
old year, as it got within eleven minutes

GEN. BELKNAP'S DEATH.
The weII-Known Veteran Dies Alone and

The weII-Known Veteran Dies Alone and
of ApopleIy.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct l4-Much sur
prise and regret was occasioned yester-
day morning by the announcement Of the
death of Gen. W. W. Belknap. He was
found dead in bed in his room by his law
partner Gen Belknap had not been seen
by any one since Saturday about mid
night, when he retired The chamber
maid called to him yesterday morning
and got no reply, 50 she went to the office,
where his partner had just arrived, and
it was discovered that he was dead. He
had died some time in the thirty hours
since he was last seen.
sketch of His Life.
William Worth Belknap had been one
of the most noted men in the country.
He was born in Newburg, n. Y, Sept. %,
1929 and was the son of Gen William G.
Belknap, a distinguished soldier of the
war of 1872 and the Mexican war. At
the outbreak of the civil war he was prac-
ticing law at keokuk, Ia, where he went
in 1851. He had served as n Democrat in
the Iowa legislature in 1857. He took a
regiment to the front, of which he was
commander. In his military career he
was at Shiloh and Nicksburg and was
with Sherman on his march to the sea-
He was promoted to the rank of brigader
general and major general.
Political Services.
After the war he was made collector of
internal revenue at keokuk In Grants
second term he was made secretary of
war, and while be was serving in this of
fee the blow fell upon him that nearly
wrecked his life Hester Clymer, of
Pennsylvania, who was chairman of the
military committee of congress, created
great sensation by bringing in articles
of impeachment against Belknap, whom
he accused of having given away post
leadership for 4 money consideration. He
was impeached but the impeachment
failed in the senate He had resigned his
Office as soon as the charge was made.
Was He a Guilty Man?
That is a question, that is answered va
riously, but the general opinion is thae
Belknap sacrificed himself to save a
woman, and that woman was his wife.
He made no defense He idolized his
wife. and it was she who got all the
money, and used her influence over her
husband to obtain for those who gave the
money the privileges that were wanted.
The couple have not lived together for
some years, although there was no legal

which the American people are harder
, upon their public servants than in the
Unsuitable demand they make for public
speech, and considering the number Of
speeches he had made since breakfast he
had a right to say so. He spoke for a
few minutes on the growth of manufac-
turing in this country, and when he had
concluded began to shake hands with the
people near the car, and the struggle to
get within reaching distance of his hand
was fearful 1t is surprising that there
were no serious injuries inflicted upon
the crowd. At Salem, the last station on
the programme for the day, the crowd de-
manded a speech, but the president asked
to be excused. His voice was indistinct
and showed the wear and tear of the days
efforts.
A Record Breaking Tour.
The president yesterday broke all his
previous records for speechmaking. On
the day that he spoke at Peoria, Gales
burg and Burlington he made seven
speeches, transcending all previous eff
forts. His speech at Alliance yesterday
was the thirteenth he made since his de-
parture from indianapolis at @ O'Clock in
the morning. The run from Salem to
Pittsburg was without noteworthy Incl
dent. The train arrived in the Pittsburg
station at Sis o'clock.
The End of the Trip at Last.
There was no public demonstration
here. The time of the arrival of the
party was not known and there were few
people on the platform. The representa-
tives of the city papers were accorded a
brief interview The president looked
somewhat wearied The train left the
city at s:+5 p m.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. l4-President
Harrison arrived in the city at about a.
m. to-day. He was driven at once To the
White House. Since his departure a
week ago he has travelled 1900 miles and
slept i'll his car every night except one.
