diana gentleman but recently returned
from Washington, whittier he went on
political and private business, and who
is a warm personal friend Of President
Harrison, spent brief time at the
White house in private conversation
with him.
Naturally the talk was about pol

pressed no personal dissatisfaction with
the result of the election, said the Wis
itor in relating his experience. Ills
only feeling seemed that of regret at
the failure Of his party. As the conver-
sation progressed we referred TO private
affairs, and / was not surprised to have
the president say TO me, as indicating
his feelings:
"'Were you to ask me how long I
had been in this position ! would an

time it appears there has not been

up in a great column toward the
sky About this time Mr.. Childs
arrived. He posted himself in
the doorway of the court house
across the street from the burning
building and watched his building 90
up in flames lie said he liked 10 watch
the fire. While the firemen were at
work they were stirred 10 greater ef-
forts by the promise of Mr., Childs to
distribute $500 among them for their
gallant work. Neither was Mr.. Childs
unmindful of the firemen's comforts,
for he provided them with what they
wished at neigh hboring restaurant
The Public Ledger was established in

mons In 1856 the paper was purchased !
10y Mr. George W. Childs, who has since
