ranks of the service to high post. He is one
o: the most afTable. gentlemanly and accom-
plished men under the government and, dur
ing his long term of Office. has made more
friends than are usually the fortune OF depart
ment officers. He was born in Philadelphia in
1871 and. after thorough course in the pub
lie schools of that city. including graduation
from the high school. he entered the service
of the Cambria Iron Company of Philadelphia
in clerical capacity. He was trudging
along in this line when the war broke out
and young Tweedale. then but twenty-one
years old enlisted as a private in the fifteenth
Pennsylvania cavalry in August, 1862. After
about six months work at the front he was de-
tailed for clerical duty at the headquarters Of
the Department of the Cumberland, March,
1863. and from July, 1863. to April, 1864. was
chief clerk at the headquarters. In April he
was sent to the Office of the adjutant general
in this city and when he received his discharge
from the army. in February, 1865. was APP
pointed clerk in the adjutant generals office
of class one. A year brought promotion to
class 2. and six more years to class 3. In Octo-

upon the government. Maj. lockwood was
born in New York, but removed to Wisconsin
III 1S4l He enlisted in the army when the war
broke out and served until the close of nostili-
ties retiring with the rank OF major. He then
made his home in Chicago where he engaged
in business. Subsequently he returned to Wis
consin. where he filed for many years the chair
of mathematics in the State Normal School at
Whitewater. He was also assistant
superintendent of public schools of
the state Of Wisconsin. He then
went into the newspaper business and became
the editor of the Weekly Register. in which
paper he still retains an interest. For two
years before coming to this city he was con-
nected with the state land Office at Madison,
and in that office his relations with Governor
now Secretary. Rusk were quite intimate.
When Gov. Rusk was called to place in the
cabinet OF President Harrison and placed a.
the head OF the Agricultural Department he
rendered Maj lockwood the position of chief
clerk. The executive ability displayed by
Maj: lockwood il this position confirms the
wisdom OF this selection. The Agricultural
Department comes in contact with an i'm
portant element of the people of this country,
ana the chief clerk, as executive officer of the
department., has an important and wide range
OF duties. the proper performance OF which

This department is now the most extensive of
the institutions known as the executive depart
ments OF the government. Several of its bu-
reaus do a larger volume OF business and en-
ploy larger force of clerks than an entire
department did few years ago. 1t is only neces-
sary 20 mention that the Pension Office, the
Patent Office and the Census Ofice are bureaus
of this department and that there are five
other bureaus TO give very fair idea of the
Vastness OF the Held occupied by this depart
ment. Its employees number about 5000. and
they are scattered all through the country with

at the head of the department the executive
ability manifested by Mr.. Dawson and his
thorough knowledge of the public business led
the Secretary to offer him the position of chief

The next year he began the study of law in his
fathers Office. but his work was interrupted by
the outbreak of the war. In September 1861.
ne received an appointment as lieutenant in
the flfty-elghth Pennsylvania volunteers. and
five years later he was mustered out of the SER
vice with an arm missing and with the straps
of a colonel on his shoulders and a commission
IN his pocket as a brevet brigader general.
His war record Is a most honorable one. being
full OF rewards for faithful services, and his
crippled condition testifies even now of hard
work done in the line of battle. At the battle
of Fort Harrison down in Virginia in 1864
he was shot several times. two balls
going into his right arm and one
| through his left hand. The arm was ampu-
tated and In six weeks he was serving as a
member OF court-martial. After the loss of
his arm Col. Clay served actively at the head of
his regiment. doing very efficient service which
won for him the praise of al his superiors.
After the surrender he was placed i'll command
OF the military district of Staunton. Va. COM
prlslng five of the most populous counties of
the shenandoah Valley, and under his surveil-
lance were some of the most famous fighters of
the rebellion, including Gen. Lee. After the
war Col. Clay went to Virginia and engaged in
the lumber business until 1870. when he re-
moved to West Virginia and after an unsuc-
cessful business career there ne came to Wash
ln2ton to accept clerksLip in the surgeon
generals office III 1850 In 1882 Attorney Gen
eral Brewster appointed him a clerk in the
Department of Justice, and the next wear he
was made chief clerk
His duties as chief clerk are very similar to
those of like officers i'll other departments in
Guiding supervision over the building and at
| tentlcn to the official correspondence of the
department. Col. Clay is an active member of
the National Guard Of the District being at
present colonel OF the second regiment. in
which he Is very popular.

RIBBoN EFFECTS on CHINA.

On china again these arrangements appear
and show to great advantage. On some amateur
work IN china l saw lately small puff bog
was painted with band of forget me -nots
around the box. tied with bow on one side
The top was closely covered with the flowers
and the knob gilded. as well as a fine pattern
finishing all the edges. On some little china
slippers intended for matches or flowers a
bow was tied high Oh the instep, which was
painted yellow quite strong in tone. The rest
OF the slipper was sprigged with small
yellow flowers. while gold was effectively
introduced as a border. Some printed fabrics
for dress goods or III furniture covering
have scharming designs. showing ribbons
and bows. These make excellent sugges-
tons sometimes for other affects The
painter on china l just referred TO- however,
uses no model. but paints in the bow first,
rubbing out and changing if necessary until
1t Is right, then painting in whatever her fancy
suggests as Accomplishments. Sofa pillows
with bow knot effects are very pretty Centers
for dinner tables with bunch of flowers in each
corner tied with ribbons, these latter worked
sometimes N outline. with line also through
the middle following the same curves, are
always attractive. The gracefulness of bow
Knot seems TO ensure this same quality to the
whole design when it is employed.
