THE NEM PosrnFFIcE
After life's fitful fever,
He sleeps well.

Washington can congratulate herself
this morning. The postoffice site ques-
tion is practically settled. The Senate
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds on Saturday agreed to report
favorably the bill passed by the House
locating the postoilice at Ninth street,
the Avenue and c street. This practi-
caliy ends the long struggle among rival
interests and locations.
While the location selected may not
be an ideal one, it is good one. The
building TO be erected will be an i'm
posing edifice, with ample floor space
and lighted on three sides. The site Is
central and as convenient as any pro
posed. II will tend to build up the
south side of Pennsylvania avenue,
which has long suffered in business
way from the great width of that ia
meus thoroughfare.
The basement Of the building can be
protected from floods, and the very fact
that Government building is on low
ground will hasten the day when floods
which invade the city will be a thing
OF the past. A minor reform which it
may, and it is hoped will, work, is to
give us at least one clean crossing on
the Avenue.
The Senate should pass the bill
promptly, 50 that work may be be gun
without loss of time.

WASHINGTON, MARcH9l, 1890
TWO NOTABLE MEN.

by enc of those condolences which,
though not perhaps rare, always seem
strange, General Robert G. Schenck and
General George Crook died within few
hours of each other. Their careers are
linked together by the fact that Gen.
eral Schenck, then a Whig member of
Congress, appointed General Crook a
cadet in the Military Academy at West
Point and thus set his feet in the path
which led to lasting fame.
Twenty one years separated these
two men. The elder was a notable
figure in three fields of action--poltics
war and diplomacy. He failed to
reach the very highest rank in either,
but as a Representative in Congress he
stood among the foremost men of his
day. lie succeeded to the leadership
Of the majority in the House upon the
death of Thaddeus Stevens, but retired
from Congress to accept the English
mission. His last public service was as
member of the Alabama Claims Com
mission. Since his retirement from the
Diplomatic service in 1876 he has lived
quiet Hfe in this city.
General Crook, his early protege, cx.
pended all his ability and energies in
one direction. He was soldier. His
life was spent in camps. He was sue
cessful commander during the war, and
as an Indian fighter during the twenty
years following the war he gained q
great and enduring reputation. What
Wayne was to the Northwest Territory
that Crook was to the greater West OF
his day. Like him, and like Jackson,
Taylor and Harvey, Crook was an In
dian conqueror, feared by the Iodians
because Of his prowess, and respected
by them because of the straightfor-
wardness of his methods and the rugged
honesty of his dealings with them.
Crook dead at GO. For forty-two
years he wore the honored uniform of
the military service of his Government
first the modest cadet gray, lastly the
glittering stars of a major general
Schenck's death removes almost the
last of those who once fought their po-
litieal battles under the long disused
and almos; forgotten Wing banner
For half century he had been nota-

Courier ISleezeweki Has n Jolly Time
with Philadelphia ..Bloods."

Win tnliHueiphlh 'tbloouSs
PHILADELPHIA, March 24.-Count
Max Pappenheim of the German army,
who is soon to marry Miss Wheeler Of
Philadelphia, with his courier Alex
ander KlcczewsGi, is stopping at the
Hotel Bellevue in this city. Alexander
KleczewsN is of Russian birth and is
ordinarily employed as o courier at the
Continental Hotel, Paris. He accom-
panied Count Max Pappenheim and
his brother, Count Ludwick Pappen-
helm, on their tour to this country.
Upon the arrival of the party at the
Bellevue the courier instantly caught
the eye of number of fashionable
young men, who sized him up as Ger
man nobleman of high standing. The
formaity of an Introduction was cast
aside, and Mr.. Kleczewski was soon the
recipient Of an invitation to break
bottle of wine, which he did with the
utmost sang frOid Several bottles fol-
lowed, and witty words and sparkling
wine were in profusiou, when the little
informal fete was interrupted by the
arrival of Count Pappenheim aud his
brother, which necessitated theprescnce
of the supposed German nobleman, and
the party broke up.
The next morning Mr.. Klcczewski
made his appearance attired in u
double. breasted sackscoat suit of rich
material and Joined his new-found
friends in sumptuous breakfast, after
which the party strolled down Chest
nut street. At dinner the courier ap-
peared in an entirely different dress and
sAI Il tash1 n,
with coronet and his initials engraved
upon it. He was driven about the
fashionable parts of the city and re-
ceiyed invitations galore to dine at
noted clubs. He had high old time
generally with the boys and enjoyed
himself to his hearts content.
On Thursday evening last, while his
master was enjoying the wit and wis
dom of the Glover Club, Courier
Kleczewsld strolled about the hotel,
where his identity was again mistaken
for that of his master, He was treated
with the utmost respect and to an un-
limited amount of champagne much to
the amusement of the attaches of the
hotel, who enjoyed the delusion i'm
menscly. The final ovation paid the
supposed count was at farewell dinner
given him last Saturday night by his
American admirers
While thus pleasantly engaged his
master received an unexpected message
through the Foreign Office to report al
| Washington on important business
He called for his courier to get his
trunks ready, but .Klecswski could moi
be found, and the angry Count was
compelled to wait until 8 o'clock the
next morning, and, his servant not turn
ing up at that hour, Count Pappenheim
was compelled to pack his own trunk
borrow a servant from the hotel tc
accompany him and leave for Wash
ington. The courier returned to the
hotel at 8 o'clock in the morning and
was knocked silly when he ascer
tanned that his master had left withou
him. The Philadelphia "bloods" wer,

A lint TO REEORMERs.

Our radical reformers can easily learn
a valuable lesson from the German
Kaiser. Finding that dueling had be-
come too common in his army he de-
termined upon reform. He did not
attempt to prohibit it, as our reformers
always set out to do when they find
something of which they do not ap.
prove. The Kaiser is too wise to
essay the morally impossible. He may
some time be rash enough to undertake
the physically impossible, but never
that which is morally absurd or i'm
practicable
So, instead of issuing his ukase for
bidding dueling in his army, he pro
mulgated orders that in the future no
duel shall take place until the circum-
stances have been inquired into by two
colonies, who are to authorize the com
