NEW YORK, Oct 23.-The man who en-
iovs in fullest measure the confidence of
President Harrison is Elijah w. Halford,
his Private Secretary. The two men have
been warm friends for many years, and the
relations between them resemble closely
those which formerly existed between
Grover Cleveland and Daniel s Lamont
Like Lamont, Halford was a newspaper
man, aud very good one, too, and came to
his present Office direct from the managing
EDITORS desk. He is now about Is years of
age and methodical and tireless worker.
Perhaps the chief regret of Halford's life
is that he was born in England. But he

was Lincoln who first called Cullom's at

a large figure in the history of the country,
and CuIlom, keeping Lincoln's words in
mind, was one of the original members Of
Congress. who brought Blaine out for
Speaker.

federates we're confined. Following the
war General Tracy was appointed United
States District Attorney by President John
son. When his term expired he success-
fully engaged in private law practice in this
city and held no public Office until he en-
tered the Cabinet of President Harrison.
Physically, Secretary Tracy is large man,
with face that denotes both intellect and
resolution. To no mans opinions does
President Harrison attach greater weight
than to those of his Secretary of the Navy.
Another Of Harrison's standbys.
The friendly relations existing between
President Harrison and Senator Shelby M.
Cullom began when they were in the Sen
ate together. During the past few years
they have been especially close and cordial,
and the Illinois Senator had much to do
with securing the Presidents renomina-
tion. Senator Cullom 10 one of the very few
men in official life who 10 poorer now than
he was when his public career began. In
this particular he is . striking example Of
the integrity Of American statesmen. He
is now 81 years of age and has been leader
in politics for more than 30 years and save
once has never known defeat Twice he was
Speaker of the Lower House of the Illinois
Legislature and three times during the war
he was chosen . member of Congress-
Later he was twice elected Governor of
Illinois, and he 10 now serving his third
term in the United States Senate.
Once when some one observed in the
presence of the late James Robinson, in his
time one of the shrewdest leaders of the
Illinois Democracy. that 'Senator Cullom
had been q lucky man" Robinson replied:
my friend, when q man rules in politics
for 15 years it's something more than luck.
It's common, hard, every day, seven-day
hoss sense" This compliment: came with
exceptional grace from Robinson, as he was
the only man who ever beat Senator Cullom
in political fight
Cu1lom's Resemblance to Lincoln.

man got rather the worst of the argument
showed that he had the courage of his con-
victions and gave him a national reputa-
tion. After leaving Congress he was
elected Governor of Ohio, and in the ma
tional campaign of 1880 played an infuen-
tial part in the election of General Garfield.
His Chances in Garheld's Cabinet.
It vas fully expected by Foster and his
friends that be would be made Postmaster
General In Garfeld's Cabinet, but in the
end that position was, given to General
James, of this city. Secretary Foster, ever
since he entered public life, has been a de-
voted supporter of the political fortunes of
John Sherman, and In the Republican
National Conventions of 1880 and 1884
tried to secure Sherman's nomination for
the Presidency. In the convention of 1888
he supported Sherman until his nomination
was seen to be impossible and then Joined
the followers of General Harrison. There
is no nonsense about Secretary Foster. de
is always practical, makes decision quickly
and is never afraid to call spade a spade.
In private life he is charming and has q
rich fund of political "reminiscences that
make him an instructive and delightful
companion. No one has contributed more
than he to the success of the Harrison ad-
ministration. President Harrison and Sec
their public careers began.
President Harrison's appointment of
General Benjamin +. Tracy as Secretary of
the Navy was also something of surprise,
but events have fully ratified Its wisdom, as
Secretary Tracy in addition to proving one
of the strong men of the administration has
been from the first one of the Presidents
most discriminating and loyal friends. Sec
retary Tracy is now about 62 years of age
and was born in Owego, this State, town
remarkable for the number of famous men
it has produced.
Tracy Politician When a Boy.
His father was farmer and lumberman,
and a portion of the sons earlier years
was devoted to the same callings. He
went to school in the academy at Owego,
and before he was voter had begun to
take hand in politics His county was
Democratic, but when he was % years of
age be carried it for the Whigs and was
elected District Attorney. He was one of
the founders OF the Republican party in
this State, and In 1860 was among those who
tried to secure the nomination of William
Fl. Seward for the Presidency. He served
two terms az, District Attorney, and then
went to the Legislature. He was q member
of that body when the war broke out, but
left it to enter the service, and went to the
front as colonel of a regiment of infantry
which he had raised. He performed active
and gallant service until after the Wilderness

more popular than he. Senator Cullom
now occupies the seat so long held bv

Republican side. He holds the President

experience and sterling wisdom of the Sena-

standing and has been strengthened and
cemented by time. Senator Sherman's
public career covers q period of 81 years,
and is still uncompleted. Thirty-three
years ago Is the leader in the House of the
then youthful Republican party, he was
one of the great personalities of the coun-
try and his subsequent record has teen in
many respects an extraordinary one. He
is a positive character, and wherever you
find one of his friends and followers you
generally discover man of decision and
force. His idea Of political friendship is
that it should be deserved as well as earned,
and this has sometimes caused him to be
called cold man, which he is not.
When Sherman entered Congress Chase
was the chief figure in Ohio. Sherman sue
ceeded Chase as leader Of his party, and his
leadership, though sometimes disputed,
has never since been taken from him. A
careful observer, chatting about Senator
Sherman, once said to me: "John Sher-

private affairs as we'll He has the most
complete blending of the dual qualities
that enable man to become truly great OF

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest Of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome

Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
Of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime sui

Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining accept any substitute for the

SUMMER is OVER.

summer Is over: the winds blowing Chill
Wake in my bosom an answering thrill
Music and fragrance and beauty were here,
Warm with the breath Of the perfected year.
Bright with the radiant midsummer glow,
When did they vanish and where did they gol
Sad means the wind in the tops Of the trees,
Chickets of goldenrod flame on the hill,
Loud chirp the cricsets, and piercingly shrill
Summer is over-life's summer-for me.
Season of hopefulness, romance and glee.
Brilliant with phantoms Of future delight,
Fair as the summer Clouds changefully bright
Entereth autumn, the harbinger sage,
Chilly precursor of wintery age.
When the last floweret shall fade on the hill
When the shrill chirp Of the cricket is still
Then the cold snow in it's whiten ess will fail,
Silently folding the earth in its pail
Only little! Ospirit, be bravel
Why must thou shudder at age and the grave
Summer is over but change is not death,
Nor is life ended when faileth the breath.
Beautiful seasons are yet to unfold;
Life is eternal, though forms may grow old.
Look o my soul, from this autumnal plainl
After the winter comes springtime again.
