A RICH MANS GRATITUDE.

Of all these tales. Somebody was recountlnR

story OF her fathers modest beginning in life
and the great wealth he has accumulated. But
long after his financial fame Is forgotten this
story OF his gratitude will be told. When
boy he had no home except that given him by
good woman who kept the then fashionable
boarding house on Pennsylvania avenue. She
gave the boy all the advantages she could out

some of her congressional bosrders got him a.

patron went home he took the Young
man with him, assisted him in every
way and through his efforts he laid the founda-
tions Of business career in q Pennsylvania
town, of which city he has been for many wears
one Of the wealthiest citizens. Fortune did not
smile for the good lady who first gave him the
helping hand. Perhaps she helped others too
generously. but one day absolute want stared
her in the face. She had heard at intervals Of
her protege's success and of his great wealth.

Case.
Commissioner Raum's Son Is

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The presi-
dent and party arrived in Washington
at $50 O'Clock this evening exactly OH
schedule time. When the train was
nearing the national capitol, and the
Journey was almost at an end, the pres
ldent summoned to the observation car
every person who had accompanied him
on the trip, including the ladies and all
the employees of the railroad and the
Pullman company, and made them a
short address. He SAID he found that
he had made just 139 speeches since they
left Washington on the 14th
of April last, and that he
thought this a good occasion to
make the number round 14O. He then
referred to the unprecedented excel
lence and perfection of the railroad
service throughout the entire trip, and
said that the fact that they had been
able to travel over 10000 miles of terri
tory in splendidly equipped train
without an accident or mishap of any
kind, and without one minutes varia-
ton from the prearranged schedule,
must always be regarded as most re-
markable achievement. He said that
George w. Boyd, of the Pennsylvania
road, was entitled to great credit
for his excellent management of
the trip and he added that it was su-
perb exhibition Of what training, ener-
gy and intelligence could do for a man.
lie then returned his thanks indiyid-
urliy to the conductors. the engineer
aud firemen, the chef and his assistants,
the brakemen, the walters and porters,
and. IN fact, every person who had rem
dered service to the party on the trip.
The president gave all the employees
a substantial token of his appre-
clatIon of their attentions. The
postmaster general, the secretary
OF agriculture and the other gentle
men OF the party also remembered the
employes in the same way. The arrival
IN Washington was unmarked by any
demonstration beyond the presence at
the station of small knot of officials
and several hundred travellers. The
Presidents grandchildren were at the
station, and his first greetingwas to them.
The company broke up in a few min
utes, and the president and his family
proceeded to the White house. The
president stood the trip better than any
one efSe, Notwithstanding the greater
labor performed by him, and there is
nothing whatever in his appearance to
Indicate that he has been subjected to
any unusual strain.

HIS FATHERS SON.
Green b. Raum, the Younsvr,
Must Get Out,

WASHINGTON, May Is. = Green B.
Raum Jr., son of the commissioner of
pensions, has rendered his resignation
as the assistant chief clerk of the pen
sion bureau, and the same has been ac-
cepted. For some time past rumors
affecting the official conduct of Mr..
Raum Jr. have found their way to Sec
retary Noble, but not until Just before
his departure for st. LOUIS, about one
week ago, did he come into possession
of facts that would warrant him in talk
ing official action in the matter. He
then learned upon what appeared to be
perfectly trustworthy testimony that
Mr.. Raum Jr. had been a party to GER
tain irregular and unlawful proceedings
in connection with three appointments
TO minor positions in the pension bu-
reau. The temporary appropriation to
his own uses of S72 belonging to the
government is also charged against him.
Mr.. Raum Jr., it is said, stoutly pro-
tested his innocence of the charges made
against him, but the secretary thought
that, in any event, his usefulness in the
pension bureau was at an end, and so
determined to request his resignation.

FoRGERIEs FOUND,
But the Highly Respected Forger
Has Passed From Life.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Rumors OF for
geries and defaleation have been cur
rent in the cotton market for some time,
but were too vague and indefinite
to notice. To-day, however. it leaked
out that the closing Of time
loan disclosed number of forged re-
ceipts drawn by Medad W. Stone, in
his own name, for cotton supposed to
be stored in the cotton warehouses of
the American Dock and Trust company,
of Staten Island. Stone was president
of the American Dock and Trust COM
pany, and is said to have forged
large numbers of certificates besides
those which were brought to light to-
day, and is said to have borrowed large
sums on them from banks in this aud
other Eastern cities. He died few
weeks ago, and was supposed to be very
wealthy. The loan in which tile forged
certificates discovered to-day were
pledged was for $4,000. At present the
total amount of certificates outstanding
can not be ascertained, but is believed
to be very large.

A WRIT OF ERROR
Will Issue in the Nebraska Gov
ernorshiD Case.


WASHINGTON, May Is. = Justice
Brewer, of the United States supreme
court, to-day granted the application of
counsel for Mr. Boyd. who was elected
governor of Nebraska, for a writ of
error to the supreme court to test the
questions involved in the decision of
the majority of the supreme court of
Nebraska, who decided that he was not
all American citizen. and therefore not
eligible to the office OF governor Of Ne
braska. The supreme court meets
again on the 25th inst, and
it is the intention of Mr.. Boyd's
counsel to move to advance
the case on the docket and secure as
speedy hearing as possible. The court
adjonrns for its summer recess on the
25th, and there is a possibility that an
effort will be made to have the case
argued on that day, or to have the time
fixed on that day for the hearing at the
next session of the court. Mr. BOYD is
represented by Messrs. Garland and
May, of Washington and Il. ID. Ester
brook, of Nebraska, 1t was Mr.. Boyd's
contention when the case was being
heard before the state supreme court
that he was citizen by virtue of the
action of his father in taking out natur-
aliZation papers and also from the fact
that he was an inhabitant of Nebraska
at the time the state was admitted into
the Union.
