THE BALD EAGLE OF wEsTCHEs-
TERI

TER"
James w. Hustled, ''the bald eagle of
Westchester," who for score of years
has been in New York State as promi-
nent politician as any outside of New
York city, and far better known to the
people than many of greater influence,
has died at his home in Peekskill. He
was not SO years old, having been born
October 31st, 1888. Graduated at Yale
College in 1854, he began for himself as
school teacher in Bedford, Westchester
county, his native place. In 1857, having
studied with good lawyers, he was adj
mitted to the bar and began the practice
of law. He was a bright fellow and his
capacity was at once recognized. From
1858 to 1860 he was county school COM
missioner; i'll the latter year he was ap-
pointed deputy superintendent of insur-
ance; from 1862 to 1870 he was harbor-
master of the port of New York. In 1870
he was made State commissioner of emf
grafton and retained the Office for two
years. In 1873 he was made major-gen-
eral of the National Guard of the State
of New York, and held that position at
the time of his death. Thus his title of
general had nothing to do with the
war. Mr. Husted's prominence was
earned as politician in the interest of
the Republican party. He had once been
defeated as a candidate for the State Sen
ate, when in 1869 he was elected to the
Assembly from the third district of
WestcheSter county. His record in this
place can hardly have been rivaled or
even equaled, for he held his seat con-
tinuously ever since, being reelected
every year save one; when he made his
residence in Rockland county, in order,
as he said, ito give the boys chance"
Several times he was chosen speaker of
the Assembly, and deserved the honor,
for he was a master of parliamentary
law, and of himself as well, so that he
was never confused by the most turbu-
lent proceedings-of which he always
saw enough in that turbulent body.
Hustled was great manager of men,
whether in his personal electiOneering,i in
primaries, in caucuses of the legislative
body, or at his post as speaker His in
tluence was so prevailing, his talents so
extraordinary, his decision so absolute,
that it always seemed as if he should
have had higher place to those who did
not perceive that he lacked breadth of
vision and power of thought. He must
have appreciated the limitations of his
nature, for he not only never essayed to
push hihSOh lhOo BIodOSI COnCosGo, lOI
candidacy as Governor or United States
Senator, but he definitely refused the Of
fers of such promotion more than once.
He filled the place he was made for, as
politics go, and received all the hOnors
for which he was truly competent.
Mr.. Hustled was taken i'll on his way to
the Republican National Convention in
Minneapolis in June. Some one on the
train gave him some medicine. 1t is
said that he got an overdose and that to
this his last illness was due. After the
convention he was brought home in
special car, and remained lowering be-
grew worse, and Sept. 25th, about
o'clock he began to sink, dying few
hours afterward. He passed away peace
fully and was conscious to the last.

AND THE CAR RATTLED ON.

The car stopped with the usual lurch,
and the conductor assisted to the plat
form tall lady, evidently young, but
whose face was hidden by the heavy
folds of long crepe veil. Her gown
and gloves were of the same somber hue
as the veil. She was followed by little
girl, also dressed in black. As the car
started on its way down town the lady
and little girl took seats in the corner.
Neither spoke for some time. Then the
little girl looked up, and in a voice that
was heard aboYe the rattle of the car ex-
claimed:
mamma !"
Eyes, my dear"
II want to see papa"
Hush, dearest" and a black. gloved
hand reached over and took one of the
tiny hands of the child. Then there was
silence for minute. Suddenly the child
ish voice was heard again.
But do want to see papa. Why dom t
you let me see him ?"
Don't, darling, please DON'T" came
the answer, as the head of the little girl
was tenderly drawn over until it rested
against the folds of the crepe veil.
But why don't you let see papa ? Z"
persisted the child.
There was no answer, but the shroud-
ed head of the black figure in the corner
was bent low and the black-gloved hand
was reaching for something evidently
hidden in the folds of the black gown.
Mammal
eyes, dear" answered tremulous
voice.
Can l see papa tonight"
Almost fiercely the little figure was
drawn to that of the larger one, and a
whisper-more a sob-was heard to say
"Oh, Elsie, dear, hush. Don't you
know that papa lies away off there on
Litchfield Hills? You can't see him to-
night, darling, and may God help you
and help me-"
And the car ratified on, but the big,
portly man in the opposite corner
TUNED about in his seat and looked out
of the window for several minutes

COLUMBUS DAY.


The Bishop of Burlington has issued
the following letter to the Roman Catho-
lie clergy of this diocese:
In compliance with the desire of our
Holy Father, Pope Leo XIII, recon-
mending religious celebration on the
occurrence of the 400th anniversary of the
discovery of America by Christopher
Columbus, we order that a Solemn Mass
of Thanksgiving be celebrated in our
churches either on the 18th, the 10th or
the 21st day of October. During this
Mass lecture or sermon should be de-
livered, pointing out to the spirit of
faith which prompted Columbus to I'M
dertake the discovery of a new world. A
desire to propagate the gospel in I'M
known countries, was the motive of his
persevering efforts in his numerous
trials, and also that of Isabella and the
pious Monk of Larabida. The speaker
might recall to the mind of his hearers
the touching sight of the great mariner
and of the crews of the three small cara
walls going in procession to the Church of
Larabida and there receiving Communion
on the day that they started on their per-
ilous journey. The Santa Maria was the
flag ship of Columbus; on board of this
ship the SdlUe Regina was chanted every
night, and the name Conception" (of
the Blessed Virgin, was given to the first
land that they discovered.
Immediately after the discovery of
America many expeditions started from
the Old World with view to discover
new countries and obtain possession of
vast territories. The great mariner who
gave his name to our lake, Mr.. Samuel
de Champlain, was also sent by his gov
eminent to make new discoveries in
America; but he, like Columbus, desired
above all to extend the kingdom of God,
and declared that the salvation of one
soul was far more important than the
discovery of a world, and that Christian
Kings should desire TO extend their pos
sessions for the sole purpose of extend
ing the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Let our children of Vermont remember
the examples of their fathers in the
faith. Let them, like Columbus and
Champlain, go forward to the conquest
of the kingdom of God, animated by zeal
for His glory under the standard of the
Cross and the banner of the Immaculate
Conception, faithful to receive often the
bread of life during their journey to
eternity.
Sentiments of gratitude to God for the
blessings we have received through Col
umbus in this our country which we love,
and earnest prayers for all our fellow
citizens should be those of Catholics on
this solemn occasion.
We shall be thankful to our pastors
for anything they will do, either in their
churches or in union with civil celebra-
tious in honor of the day.
Our Holy Father has kindly conde-
scended to dispense from the law of alb
stinence on Friday, the 21st day of Octo-
ber
May Almighty God bless you.

TUE WITTY FRESHMAN,

when told by doctor that his liver was
almost gone, said, Faith, it's glad am,
it's glad l am, it's alters bothered mel"
The liver, more than any other organ, is
the index of the body. With morbid
liver the whole system is out of gear!
Most powerful for the restoration of this
''citidel of health" is DR.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery. Its action is di-
rect, prompt, effectual! Recommended
by emminent physicians, it has gained a
universal reputation as the "Great Liver

are increasing, the comforts and necessi-
ties of life are cheapening, and in the
millions of workingmen's homes will be
found evidences of luxury where a few
years ago could be seen only the scantiest
furniture and the coarsest fare. 1t is a
fact that the savings of the poor men of
this country are to-day sufficient to buy
out the money kings and have a surplus
with which to capture nearly every out
standing United States bond. The rich
are growing richer withouta doubt, but
in the growth of their wealth they are
not keeping pace with the men who work
for wages and put their little surpluses
in the savings banks,

GEMS FROM GROVER.
Some Extracts from President Cleveland'l
lat

Some Extracts from President Cleveland's
Pension yetoes.
1t is sad but true that in procuring
pensions there exists widespread dis
regard of truth and good faith: the race
after these pensions would stimulate
weakness and pretended incapacity and
put premium on dishonesty and men
dacity.-Veto of Dependent Pension
Bill.
The number Of instances in which
those of our soldiers who rode horses
during the war were injured by being
thrown forward upon their saddles
would indicate that those saddles were
very dangerous contrivances.-Veto of
Alfred Denny Pension Bill.
Her pension is asked for entirely
because of her needs and the faithful SER
vice of her husband and her sons. This
presents the question whether gift in
such a case is a proper disposition of
money appropriated for pensions.-Veto
of Sally Ann Bradley Bill.
The soldiers of our civil war, in their
pay and bounty, received such compen-
sation for military service as has never
been received by soldiers before since
mankind went to war. The really needy
have been provided for at soldiers
homes.-Veto of Dependent Pension Bill.
Though twelve neighbors of the pen
sioner testified that he was free from
neuralgia and disease of the eyes before
enlistment am of the opinion that the
evidence against the pension was quite
satisfactory.-Veto of Bill Pensioning
II. L. Kyler.
Every relaxation Of principle in the
granting of pensions invites applications
of pensions without merit and encour-
ages those who for gain urge honest men
to become dishonest.-Veto of Elizabeth
S. De Kraft Bill.
This officer was undoubtedly brave
and efficient, rendering his country val
liable service, but it does not appear to
have been of so distinguished a char
acter, nor are the circumstances of his
widow such as to render a gratuity JUS
tifable.-Veto of Bill Pensioning Widow
of Commodore Marchand
| believe that if the veterans of the
war knew all that is going on in the way
of granting pensions by private bills they
would be more disguised than any class
of citizens.-Veto of June 90, 1888.
l cannot spell out any principle upon
which the bounty of the government
should be bestowed through the instru-
mentality of the food of pension bills
that reach me. The theory seems to
have been adopted that no man who
served in the army can be the subject of
death or impaired health except they
are chargeable to his service.-Veto of
NJ. A. Daugherty Bill.
Whatever else may be said of this
claimants achievements during his short
military career, it must be conceded that
he accumulated a great deal of disabil-
ity.-Veto of Wilson Pension Bill.
