CABINET TRAGEDIES.
Those Under President Harrison Matche I'd
by Those Under President Tyler.

The tragedies in the official family
of President Harrison. great though
they are, are matched by those in the
cabinet of President Tyler, fifty years
ago SAYS the n. Y. Sun. That adj
ministration began with tragedy.
for the death of the aged Gen.
natural causes, can not be counted. in
view of the circumstances, as aught
but tragic. In December of the next
year, 1912, occurred the tragedy of the
United states ship SomcrS-the mutiny,
the trial by c0urt-martial, and the
execution of three sailors. one of whom
was the son of the actual secretary of
war. In June, 1913. the president,
with some of his cabinet journeyed to
Boston TO attend the ceremonies of the
dedication of Bunker Hill monument;
and there Hugh Legare, secretary of
state, was stricken with mortal
disease and died. But the tragedies of
the administration had not reached
their climax. On Feb. %, 1S44. at the
invitation of Commodore Stockton,
the president with his fiancee. Miss
Gardner her father, and with the
members of the cabinet and nearly 100
other persons of high official rank,
embarked on Capt. Ericsson's screw
steamer Princeton. belonging to the
navy TO inspect the new machinery
aud to watch the firing of the two
great guns which the vessel mounted.
On the trip two of the guns were fired
twice. On the homeward trip, above
Mount Vernon, preparations were
made 10 fire third shot Around the
gun stood nearly all the principal men
who carried on the government of the
United States The gun was fired, and
burst, killing eight persons and wound
ing nearly a score. The president had
been called aside the instant the gun
was fired, but Secretary of State Up
shur and Thomas Giimer. secretary of
the navy. were killed, as well as Mr..
Gardner, Commodore Kennon, Virgil
MaXey. two sailors, and the presidents
servant Mr.. Gimcr had been secre-
tary of the navy for only ten days, and
mad taken the post much against his
own inclinations. Thomas Ii. Benton
was one OF the party whose gayety
was so terribly stillcd; but though the
presidents servant, who stood ut his
left, was killed, he himself was un-
hurt, except the breaking OF his left
ear drum.

Patent medicines differ

Patent medicines differ
One has reasonableness, an
other has not. One has repu-

And there isn't a state or
territory, no-nor hardly a
country in the world, whether
its people realize it or not,
but have men and women
in them that're happier be-
cause of their discovery and

Think of this in health.
Think of it in sickness. And

How the Average Novel Sells.

If a novel by tolerably well-known
author sells 5000 copies nowadays it is
doing remarkably well, and oftener
the publisher is satisfied if the sale
reaches 1000 copies. There are a
score of novels on the lists of leading
publishers to-day which | could name
of which there have not been more
than 100 or 1000 copies sold, yet a
person not conversant with the facts
would easily place their sales at three
times that number. In the literary
world there is nothing so cruelty true
as the fact that all that glitters is not
gold. | have in mind as | write two
authors who are in every respect in
the public estimate successful writers.
whose positions in the literary world
are envied by hundreds of young
writers. Yet | know in both of these
cases that their incomes from their
writings are not equal 10 that of the
most ordinary clerk in any prosperous
business house. Fortunately neither
one of my friends depends upon liter
ature for his living. In literature rev.
enue is far below fame. Many an
author who gets plenty of the latter

There seems to be 4 division of sem
timent in Harlem, says the n. Y.
Herald.
Andrew Luckhardt, a barber at No.
1873 East One Hundred and Eighth
street. represented the minority side.
The residents in his neighborhood
are the prepondering majority. 1t is
not question of metaphysical. inter-
national or any other of the adding
questions common TO the citizens of
that section of the city that has dis
turbed the entente cordiale between
Harlem and the barber. He has COM
mitted an offense; he has pampered a
taste for parrot robin, a mocking
bird and monkey. He should have
borne in mind that Harlem prefers
that eupeptic animal which eschews
the lowlands and affects discarded silk
hats, bill posters tomato cans and
clam shells as a steady diet.
Harlem. according to Mr.. Luck
hardt, is very narrow minded: at least
that is the opinion if one IT. j." rep
rcsents the general community.
#. j." has perpetrated 4 very un
civil deed in writing thus anonymously
to the board of health.
He asked, for Gods sake, that a
copper" as he terms the policeman,
be sent to suppress the BARRIERS pets.
Their singing. barking and fighting
are so annoying that sheol (hell is his
eXpression) will not be a circumstance
to the tortures he suffers, seemingly
taking it for granted that the lower
regions are his inevitable destination,
which ought to be compensating
source of congratulation to Mr.. Luck
hardt.
A copper" doubtless highly pol
ished one, will call upon the barber to-
day and politely ask permission to in
vestigate the alleged nuisance.
Mr.. Luckhardt will then explain
that the complaint is the result of NAL
ice and another illustration of the in
fallible adage that if you lend money
you lose friend.
He says that certain Harlemite
owes him So. and that his complaint is
interest on the loan.

tries to make out that Harlem objects

The Cabby Was Careful.

Gen. Porter has the "intinite jest, !"
backed by Il capacious fund of anec-

the generals ready hits in his own

with whom they came in contact. |
noticed recently an item in the public
press, an evident reference TO this dis
position of the pilgrim wherever he
ran up against anybody to attempt to
show him Just how near lie WAS 10 the
borders of the hereafter. The item re-
ferrcd to announced that the Puritan
had collidcd with He'll Gate. When
ever the modern New Englander gets
a man Just on that border edge and it
is seen that some one is going over the
precipice, he always takes care that he
is not the person. He is rs cOnscrva-
tive IN this respect as was the night
cab-driver standing in front of n house
in which there was a dinner party. A
man came out of the house, staggered
across the sidewalk. laying out more
zigzags than did our patriotic sires ut

Of the cab and threw himself on the
seat. The driver inquired: Where

After cabby had driven along for
some time, not being yet intimately
acquainted with the topography of the
torl-d country mentioned, he inquired
again:

Coachy scratched his head. pondered
over the situation. and finally said:

A Demand for ReparatiOn.

SANTIAGO DE CHILL, Oct. 26.-The
United States government today, through
Minister Egan, formally demanded repa-
ration from the government of Chill for
the attack recently made in Valparaiso
upon a number of seamen of the United
States cruiser Baltimore. The demand
as made by the United States minister
is no informal suggestion that the gov
eminent at Washington expects some
kind of satisfaction for the killing and
wounding of the Baltimore's sailors. 1t
is friendly put, the notification being
given according to direct orders received
from the state department at Washing
ton that the United States demands i'm
mediate explanation of the whole affair
and reparation for injuries inflicted.
Acting upon the instructions sent to him
from Washington Minister Egan pre-
sented the Chllian junto with detailed
statements of the results of the investi-
cation made by Capt. Schley
OF the Baltimore and by Egan himself.
After giving a full list Of the Battimor's
crew who were injured by the mob
Egan's statement called attention to the
fact that thirty.five Of the cruisers crew
we're on the day of the riot arrested, un-
necessary violence being used by the po-
lice and that they were detained in u.s.
tody without discourse. After making
q brief but pointed summary Of the
facts to which he had been instructed
to call attention Minister Egan informed
representatives of the junta that in the
name Of the United States he demanded
reparation for the insults and injuries
complained Of now.
The question is what will be she action

of the Gillian government. 1t appears
now there seems to be no doubt that the
junta will soon make the reparation de-
handed. Naturally the action taken to-
day by Minister Egan is attracting the
attention of foreign ministers and of
foreigners generally who are resident in
this republic. The sympathy of the
American colony is entirely with Capt.
Schley and his blue jackets and they are
one and all glad to receive the news pub
lished today that another United States
war vessel, the "Boston," had actually
sailed for these waters. The Chilians
try to smooth over the assault upon and
Imprisonment of American sailors by
chasing it as a simple street row. Up to
the present time the junta has expressed
no regret for the attack made on Ameri-
can sailors,
