Glimpse of ex- called upon James
D. Fish few days ago,
Banker Fish. who may be remem-
bered as the president
of the Marine bank in the collapse of
about 1882. He is past Seventy-some
years, think. There were two things
quite touching to me when l saw him,
though he strikes no attitudes and says
but little about himself. In the midst
of his financial troubles he married his
latest wife, who was singer, of a good
family in Ohio. He made her acquaint-
ance by attempting to get her position
On the stage in New York. She left him
a child and died soon after its birth.
That little child. very bright and smart,
is at the old gentleman's SIDE, and he re-
marked to friend: "a good many peo
pie thought that the most foolish thing [
ever did was to take a wife in the
midst or my perpleXltles. | thought so.
too, for while, but when | look at this
little child and see what comfort she
is to me don't know but it was the
wiseSt act [ ever did," Going up to a
bookcase Mr.. Fish opened it and took
out glass mug, engraved and carrying
the portrait of man. l forget the
name of the man, but he was all actor
away back in the forties OF thirties.
Said MIR. Fish: This is quite relic. l
went to that benefit and every sub
scriber to it got one of these mugs. Per-
haps mine is the only one left to suggest
that man, of whom [ thought great
deal. In this box" said he, Il have all
the play-bilIs of my early days in New
York, when l came here boy from
Connecticut, and my delight was to go
to the theater every night. | kept the
play-bills and often made the acquaint
ance of the actors and actresses. They
brushed away the cares OF the day as no
other people could do"

CALIFORNIA; PRIDE.

The despenSations connected with the
tours Of California delegations and per-
ipatetic exhibits of the products and
the impression that a prohibition wave
is making much effort to roll in that
state and suppress the vinous element.
The vineyards there rival those of any
part of the world, and California wine
has been one of the chief prescriptions
to develop enthusiasm for the aurifer-
GUS domain. Yet it is said that pro-
hibition movement is having a surpris-
ing run in the state, and would uproot
the vines. In fact, the prohibition can
didate for governor points to his devas-
tated vineyard as the sign of his devo
ton, and an object lesson of
the mission of the party. Some
of the towns in Southern Cali
fornia have been captured. Pom
ona is named as one of them, in which
there is one of the greatest wine estab-
ishments, that have prohibited the sale of
wine in less quantities than two gallons.
The inspiration of this movement is

purpose of the grip, which candid med,
ical people admit has defied their pene-
tration. 1t is more singular from the
fact that California is the only state in
the Union that has never had on its
statute book any of the common Sunday
or sumptuary enactments. Every indi-
vidual can establish his own regimen
for the best day. While the prohi BIZ
tionists have not seemed to do much.
and have lost position this side of the
Rockies, perhaps they have been doing

Still, they will hardly compel dealers to
raise their prices at present.

A BLOW AT CORNELL.
Such Is the Decision in the Nc.
GraW-Fiske Case,

ITHACA, N. Y, May 21.-A repre-
sentative of the Ithaca Journal called
upon President Adams yesterday to OBJ
tain from him an expression of opinion
upon the status of the adverse decision
in the McGraw Fiske case. In answer
to the general question as to how the
news of the decision has been received
by the university authorities, and as to
what its effect upon the prosperity of
the university would be, President
Adams said: "The decision, of course,
does not take us altogether by surprise.
courts below had prepared our minds
for the contingency of this result. But
it is great blow to the university.
1t does not cripple us, for the reason
that we have not been using any of the
money. More than million dollars OF
the bequeSt is in our treasury. but the
income of it has been regularly added
to the principal, so that no part OF the
fund has ever been used for university
purposes. The injury to the university
is in the fact that it will lot be impos-
sible to do very many desirable things
that, with the help of this bequeSt, could
have done. All the income of the uni
versity is annually used for current ex-
penses. 1t is impossible to add new
buildings without encroaching either
upon our principal or upon other appro-
priations greatly needed for the various
departments. Our income is mort
gagged $4,000 year to pay for
the chemical laboratory. We are in
great need of building for the college
of agriculture. of another for the school
of law and of another for an art mu-
scum. But unless some friend of the
university now comes to the rescue, l
do not see where these buildings so
greatly needed are to come from. If
we had won the cause just decided
against us the general fund would have
been relieved of the cost of carrying the
administration of the university library,
which is about $4,000. Fortunately the
new library building and fair sum for
the purchase of books are provided for
by the generous gift of Mr.. Sage. So
far from being rich, the university has
really many and great needs. We have
a magnificent opportunity, and it seems
an unspeakable pity that the means OF
working out our problem should not be
at hand.''

ALL TO HAVE WORK.

People who would make everybody
upright, happy or prosperous by legis-
latiOn may be regarded as exceedingly
mellow and tender about the heart, and
perhaps the head may not be excepted.
They are undoubtedly honest, and be-
lieve their theories are practicable.
Those who advocate their measures in
the lawmaking bodies may be conceded
TO be meaSurably sincere. They may
not perhaps be really nearer conviction
than the old-time FEsTUs was on
notable occasion, but they are inclined
to be modest in the presence of those
who have very earnest votes. One of
the most advanced and effioreScent Of
the schemes IS indicated in a bill intro
duced in the senate by Senator PLUMB,
of Kansas. His state has good many
people who do not do any very cohe-
rent mental work, and their representa-
tives are at times peculiar. 1t is not
meant, however, to intimate that this is
unlike the name of the senator as re-
CARDS sound principles. Still it is
curiosity. There is some absence of
preliminary work, perhaps to be sup
piled later, but grand and compre-
hensive labor is provided before the Or
ganiZation of department of labor. 1t
may be that Uncle JERRY RUsK and his
agricultural bureau are in mind. The
project is not exactly for the United
States government to give every man
farm equipped and furnished. 1t is
better than that. The government is to
buy big tract of land for a farm in
every county in the United States. This
is to be under charge of the secretary of
the department. of labor. The OBJ
ject of this enterprise is not to
teach scientific agriculture, or to
supply the markets with the products of
the soil to obviate any dearth. 1t is to
furnish Temunerative employment. All
those who want to work are to be hired
at the rate of 81 a day and allowed to
work four hours. 1t does not quite ap-
pear whether this meaus 81 an hour
or but fourth of it. The former is the
captivating feature. Few men are so
hoggish as not to be satisfied with four
hours work in the day if the pay is 81
The object is to supply lucrative and
probably easy employment to all who
want it and advance the standard of
wages. This is an improvement on the
BELLAMY notion as regards the work
ing period, at least. Perhaps some re-
cent local statesmen, who would raise
wages to Sc or IS per day, are apropos
to this benefcent movement. The
quibblers find trouble over the
high price of land in some counties, as,
for instance, New York county in the
Eastern states and Ramsey in this state.
OF course it would cost something to
secure big farm in such districts, but
the government can work in the fat
scheme, and is bothered with surplus
anyway. In fact, the bill provides that
the secretary shall issue notes in case
he does not happen to have quite the
amount lying around. This will make
money as plenty as dirt-that is, good.
rich dirt-and everybody will have all
he wants and be happy. The bill has
not yet been passed by the senate, al
though presented by one of the most
portly and benign members. There is
no intimation that it is the Kansas form
of tariff legislation, but it may be.

NIorton's
Prompters.

Morton's Vice President Morton
is a fine old gentleman
Prompters. and gifted in many re-
spects. He is dlplo-
mat of rare qualities, and | never saw
another who could wear wig with
more grace. But there is one thing he
cannot do. He cannot learn the rules
of the senate. He presides with dig
nity-in fact, lends as much dignity to
the position as any man who has ever
occupied the chair, but he has to be
prompted at nearly every stage of the
proceedings. Edmunds is chief
prompter, ingalls, assistant prompter,
and Frye sometimes acts as Sub-assiSt-
ant. Edmunds occupies the front seat,
almost under the eyebrows of the pre-
siding officer, and constantly keeps on
the watch to see that Mr.. Morton makes
no blunders.
When some motion is made, or & par
liamentary qestion asked, the vice pres
ident. in hesitating sort of way, be-.
gins to state the case as nearly as he
can get at it, all the time watching the
face of the distinguished senator from
Vermont for sign of approval or correc-
ton. If the Vermont sage mods his
head the vice president, with firmer
confidence, proceeds to state the QueS-
ton. A look OF disapproval will at once
bring the vice president to standStill,
and then Mr.. Edmunds, with the least
suspicion of twinkle under his eye
brows, will at Cnce rise and state, as if
in argument or suggestion to the chair,
what will be the proper statement of
the case. The vice president will I'M
mediately reproduce his language with
graphophonic accuracy.
sometimes Mr.. Morton gets the i'm
preston that he knows enough about
the rules to take care of this business
for himself. Then he almost invariably
falls into error. When he puts himself
in this position Mr.. Edmunds and Mr..
ingalls, appear in quiet sort OF a way
to enjoy the situation. Sometimes the
one and sometimes the other will get
up, and in parliamentary language and
manner of extreme suauity give the pre-
siding officer a lecture or parliamentary
usage. Some of these disc0urseS are eX-
tremely amusing, from their assumption
of dignity and seriousness while dealing
with the most trivial point of parlia-
mentary order, which to the vice presi-
dent is as perpleXing as the old fifteen
puzzle 1t is understood to be very
sore point with Mr. Morton that he has
to be constantly coached by these two
gentlemen, but he cannot help himself,
for every time he makes declaration
of independence he gets into trouble.
and has to stand the delicate irony OF
the senator from Vermont.

SMILE THAT AWAITS ME.

Something / own that wealth cannot buy,
And not offered for sale on the mart:
Something for which the great often sigh
With all unhidden void in the heart:
Something possessed by one little spot
In a corner l know on earth loan,
Waiting for me in neat. cosy cot:
IT'S sweet. loving smile in my home.
When all the world is dreary and cold.
And the clouds darkly hang DER the way;
Friendship and honor purchased with gold,
And a world seems to win to betray,
Still one fond thought thro shadows will
shine,
AS back to that humble cot roam,
Feeling as rich as Wealth-laden mine.
With sweet, loving smile in my home.
When that bright scene shall vanish and fade
= Into visions of heaven beyond
The earth grow dim in death S misty shade,
With the form so loving and fond
Yet will remain forever in mind,
Though afar Ill the heavens broad dome,
The sweet, happy face loving and kind,
With the smile that awaits me at home.
