The Gen sral in o PrecariOus Condition
at His Home in Lowell.


at His Home In Lowell.
Boston, Dec. 1.-Gen. Butler is ser.
iously ill at his home in Lowell. Every
effort has been made by his family and
his physician to keep the knowledge of
his condition from the newspapers, and
indeed, SO far as possible, from the
General himself. But it can safely be
said that the gravest doubts of his re-
covery are entertained by those who are
in position to know most about his
condition, and some of them assert that
he will never again be able to leave his
home.
Gen. Butler was 70 years old the 9th
of November. He has aged rapidly of
late, and those who have seen him in
court during the last few months could
hardly fail to remark the change
There was the same witty remark and
sarcastic rejoinder which everyone. had
come to expect from Gen. Butleg but
there was more feebleness of step and
a greater trembling of hand and vo O.
than formerly.
When the case against Mrs. Johnson,
who was convicted of perjury in pen
sion case, had been fought through and
the woman finally discharged, General
Butler declared that he would never

The Dog Used to BE on the Stage and d
HADN'T FORGOTTEN His Part.

The Dog Used to Be on the Stage and He
Hadn't Forgotten His Part.
A very tall and very slim young man
leaned against closed gate in front of
house in the suburbs and brushed the
dust from a pair of well-worn patent
leather shoes as he watched a dog on
the other side.
Around his shoulders swung an
empty portfolio, and in one hand he
carried, in bound volume, the autobi-
ography of a great and recently de-
ceased war general The fact that the
autobiography was written for COM
mercial purposes during the week OF
the war generals funeral does not
enter into our story.
1t was the plain am bition of the dog to
reach the slim mans checked trousers
through the piclzets of the fence, and
while his efforts in that direction failed
to interrupt the thorough polish of the
patent feathers, they attracted the at
tention and interest of third party.
A short man. whose costume of rags
and dirt showed evidences of veteran
vagrancy, was imping toward the gate
from across the street.
"For quarter, pardner," he said,
swinging himself easily to a seat on the
| fence, 'I'll call off tn dog"
The slim young man looked hard at
the stranger, who endured the scrutiny
with cheerfulness. and then reached
two fingers into his vest pocket Be
fore withdrawing thep, however, he
glanced at the dog, whose blazing eyes
were turned on the ragged man with
| unmistakable desire.
go ahead" he said. "I'll leave a
quarter on the fence and you can have
it when you come back-alive."
The stranger waited until the coin
was deposited on top Of a picket, and
then slid to the ground inside the
fence.
Thrusting one foot in front of him,
he raised his right hand and pointed
with dramatic effect toward the rear
of the yard Then, as the dog came
rapidly in his direction with every from
tooth visible and the slim young mans
hair arose on his head, he whispered
hoarsely:
"B'gone, Tirego! see'st thou the
bloody trail Of thy unhappy mis-
tress-s-s-and dostest thou waitI Big
gone, say!"
A look of surprise stole over the face
of the dog as he brought himself to q
reluctant halt Then, at the last word
his nose dropped to the ground and he
skunk across the lawn.
The ragged man came and opened
the gate, while his companion wiped
the perspiration from his forehead anc
stopped to pick up the autobiography

Messengers.

Big Responsibility and Small Pay of the
Messengers.
Some facts were recently cleaned
about the business of expressing money
in the United States. The amount SO
conveyed is estimated to be two hun
bred and fifty million dollars a year, of
which four-ffths are carried for the
government The Adams express COM
pany formerly acted as its agent, charg-
ing twenty five cents for each one thou
sand dollars, but recently the contract
was awarded to the United States ex-
press company, which offered to do the
work for fifteen cents per thousand dol
lars.
The packages of money are intrusted
to 5000 messengers, who are for the
NEST part middle-aged men selected
from the working force in the main Of
fees. The messenger has not the slight
est idea of what his packages contain,
so that he understands his respon-
sibility is always the same. Before &C
ceptinr Z package for shipment he sees
that i securely fastened with wax
and s, / with the seal Of the
sender. government moneys he is
provided with a safe. Packages for
corporations and individuals are put
into canvas bags.
| As soon as his run of twelve hours
be gins, the messenger stations himself
ne ar his charge, and he must not allow
his eyes to close, at the risk of dismis-
sa1 from the service. So dangerous,
indeed, are a messengers duties con
sic cred, that insurance companies will
not issue policies to him except at a
cost that is almost prohibitive. But
thu express companies treat their en-
ployes so generously that if the latter
ara injured while on duty they may
confidently count on financial assist
ance. Recently, as large sum as S12,
900, 900 was sent out by express from
the treasury at Washington and five
messengers were assigned to take care
of it in transit At the end of his rur

Athlete Ford's Father Cuts Him OF
Without a Cent "#
NGw YORK, Dec. 1.-The will Of tbs
late Gordon Lester Ford, of Brooklyn,
filed yesterday, bequeaths an estate val
ued at 81, 500, 900 to the widow, and two
sons, Worthington Ford and Paul Ford,
with some minor legacies to moro dis
tant relatives. The name of the testa-
tors son, Malcolm w. Ford, the famous
athlete, is not men toned in the will.
Malcolm had incurred his fathers
displeasure by devoting himself to
sports, and was not regarded as mem
Der of the family. His father refused
for years even to speak to him, but a
reconciliation was effected at the time
of Malcolm's recent illness, which was
thought likely to prove fatal.
1t seems, however, that the old gen.
tleman:: did not,,relent sufficiently to m AXE
his athletic son one of his heirs. 1t il
believed that the disinherited son will
contest the will.

far as receiving $28 of the proceeds were

crime was Fred Mcguire, who is now
