| The President and Senate Advance = West
Pointer Two Years Over His Classmates
advantages of Having Friends Who
Are Politicians.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-[Gpecial 1.-The
Senate late on Friday afternoon, and after
many Senators had gone home, held short
executive session and confirmed, among
others, the nomination of Robert Sewell, of
New Jersey, to be second lieutenant of
cavalry. Young Sewell is the son of ex-
Senator Sewell, the duck-hunting compan-
ion of the President, as well as colleague
of General Harrison on the Committee on
Military Affairs when they were both in
the Senate.
Two years ago young Sewell was nomi-
mated as a cadet to West Point, but failed
to qualify under the severe physical and
mental examinations, but his ambition to
be soldier did not wane with his failure
This desire was not lost sight of by the
fond father, but not a word on the subject
was uttered to the President until Just
before the Minneapolis Convention. Then
an appeal was made to the President on the
grounds of long and uninterrupted friend
ship, evidenced by frequent excursions and
coupled with an offer of ardent political
support.
The first condition was almost enough
for the President TO accede to the PROPOSE
tion of General Sswell, but the second
clinched the subject, and the nomination
was made. It stands out boldly as being a
nomination more closely based on personal
friendship than any the President has made.
Under the law the President is entitled to
appoint second lieutenants in the army
from civil life after the cadets at Wess
Point have been assigned. These civilians
are required to stand q rigid examination
at least, the rules and regulations OF the
War Department make the examination
condition precedent to the nomination.
When the nomination was made it was
learned that this examination of young
Sewell had been evaded.
Protests were made by his former class
mates, who would be outranked two years
by Sewell, and Senators were informed of
the irregularity of the nomination ana pro-
tests against its confirmation were made
But the President informed his friends in
the Senate that he very much desired the
nomination confirmed, and out of Difference
to this request and the Senatorial courtesy
extended to an old colleague. General
SewelPs son was confirmed He has now a
start of two years over his old classmates,
and is in the best branch of the service.
This advancement and preferment counts
more in the matter of promotion in the
long run than four years hard study at

A House That Will Float.
These are the eelers. They are the men
who furnish to the New York fish market
from 10 to 100 barrels of eels a day in the
season. In all there are nearly 200 men
who make living in the humble vocation
of eel and crab catching. When the eel
season closes the crab season begins. hap

or shanty on the bay side. Its foundations
consisted of four wooden rollers, each about
eight feet long. The object of this as 1
found LATER was to move this residence from
place to place by water. When the time
comes for move few men apply their
shoulders to the cabin and away it rolls
into the water, where the big rollers form a
raft; then, when the wind is fair, it can be
towed at the rate of three miles an hour
The little house had two small windows,
one in either side, through which 1 could

pots. On one side of the shanty we're

IRELAND AT HOME,

The Archbishop Full OF Praise for the
Republican Institutions-His Holmes.
Not in Fraii Health.
ST, PAUL, July 7.-Archbishopr ireland
presided in the Cathedral of st. Paul AGAIN
to-day, after an absence of six months, spent
principally in Rome. He was glad to
be home once more, and said so in his OPEN
ing remarks. His discourse had most to do
with the Pope, of whose interest even in
this remote region the Archbishop assured
the people, and told OF his health, his
labors and the details O. his everyday life,
He said:
Ii 1t is any pleasure to you to know that he
takes deep interest in the welfare of the
church in the United States in the welfare
generally, temporal as well as spiritual, of
our beloved Republic, 1 can assure you he
does take such a deep and abiding interest
in all that concerns it.
In regard to the health OF Pope Leo XIII.
the Archbishop said:
All you may hear and read about the Pope
being on the threshold of death has no foun-
dation in fact. Those who see him for the
first time are somewhat struck by his thin
ahd ascetic figure, and would believe
CDaC lie Is attacDeu TO the earth by
very fragile strings: but thinness of body
and asceticism of features indicate by no
means weakness or approa ching dissolu-
tion. During my entire stay in Rome he
was not indisposed for a single moment,
and. from all I heard, there was scarcely
even an interruption from his assiduous
labors, even for little while, because of
1ailing health.
Details were then given of his daily
work and of the various duties of the differ
ent DAYS of the week. High praise is given
the craftsmanship of the Pope, the Arch
bishop considering him ''the greatest states
man of the world He paid considerable
attention to the high abilities of the Pope's
advisers, and eulogized the Catholic Church
for its adaptibility to all forms of govern
ment, saying:
Leo XIII shows us how the Church not
only admits of these changes, but helps to
solve them. Whenever any movement pre-
sents itself to the world which leads to its
development, she takes hand.
