coolly returned to his seat in the Senate
chamber, resuming the legislative work
which had been interrupted, never in
dicating by look or tremor of the hand
that an intensely exciting scene had
been enacted. The fact is, however,
that the Senator had refused to lend his

it, and the caller had become SO enraged
by disappointment that he had lost his

BOLD TIMBER THIEVES.

Billions of Feet of Valuable Pine Stolen
from Northern Minnesota.
Canadian lumbermen are stealing
billions of feet of lumber from the
greatest pine timber belt in America

nesota. The Northwestern Representa-

that measures be taken to provide at
least one revenue-cutter and two we'll
manned American posts to watch the
district and stop the several thousand
Canadians who are cutting and hauling
away timber without fear of molesta-
tion. Ex-United States Senator Henry
M. Rice, who spent five months in the
northern portion of Minnesota treating
with the Indians as member of the
Red Lake Commission, said recently
that the timber cutting was going on
for forty miles up the Baudette, North
and South Fork rivers, and that the In
dians declared that it had been going
on for more than a dozen years.

no more regal apartment anywhere in
the world, but its magnificence and
grandeur are hidden from mortal eyes
year in and year out, for the President
seldom occupies the room til his term
of Office is drawing to a c4ose. On the
morning of the 4th of March, within an
hour of the time when his successor ID
to be sworn into Office, at the close OF
his four years incumbency Of the great
office, the President enters this room
and signs bills which are brought to him
as they have just passed both houses Of
Congress, and, as the Congress is about
to expire, these bills would be incom.
plete without his signature. There.
with all the glory of power passing
from him, and sitting within twenty
feet Of the spot where his successor will
be received within an hour as the Presi.
dent-elect, the Chief Executive scant
bills and signs them as they are placed
before him with the approval of his
Cabinet Ministers. In that roon
Chester A. Arthur signed bill placing
U. s. Grant upon the retired list Of the
army, thus making that law complete
from that room to the Senate message
nominating U. s. Grant to be General OF
the Army, retired-a nomination which
the Senate Immediately confirmed, just
in time to do that last act of kindness tc
the dying military hero of tho age.
Thus it happened that the first act OF
Grover Cleveland as President of the
United State, succeeding Chester A.
Arthur, was to sign commission for U.
s. Grant as General, retired.
These two rooms, the marble-room
and the Presidents room, are visited by
throngs of people when Congress is not
in session; but it frequently happens
that the Presidents room is kept Under
lock and key SO that many are disap-
pointed who wish to look in upon it.
You may have an idea of the furniture,
when informed that the carpet alone
cost $1,000. Every square inch of wall
and ceiling is touched by the artistic
brush OF the great painter, Brumidi:
and every touch of his brush expressed
an idea of historic value as we'll as Of
incompatible beauty in color. The
chandeliers in both of these rooms now
have electric-light attachments in addi-
ton to the innumerable gas jets. If you
or 1 were President we'd occupy this
room quite often, / warrant, and not
leave it there in solitary splendor un-
used and unvisited. SMITH D. Fry.

A NOVEL TRAIN.

Fifteen Car Loads of -Four Shipped to
Boston from Duluth.
The other day a train of fifteen car
loads of flour, decorated and inscribed
with appropriate notices, started over
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
railway for q through trip to Boston.
In many respects this train was the
most unique in the history of any
American city. The entire train of cars
is the product of the great iron car
works of Duluth, the iron for which was
taken from Duluth's mines, and the tim
Der from its forests. The -four is the
product of the Duluth Imperial mill,
and it was ground from the celebrated
Duluth, No. l, hard wheat, which COM
mands the highest price of any wheat
grown in the world in the great markets
of Europe and America.
