GORMAN THE BALL PLAYER.
Early threatened to enter Washington
the employees of the Capitol organized
military company for the defense Of
that edifice. German was made captain
and in this role had the pleasure Of go
ing up to the top of the old dome of the
Capitol, spyglass in hand, to reconnoiter.
The committee on conduct of the war
wanted shrewd, active, trustworthy
young man to hunt up information for
them, and German filled the bill. On
one occasion he was sent to General
Grants headquarters near Petersburg
and witnessed the great mine explosion
which occurred before that city.
About 1868 baseball craze ran over
the country. In Washington was or
ganized the National club, which soon
became famous It used to play in the
lot in the rear of the White House, near
the then half finished Washington
monument. There was no grand stand,
but chairs were brought out from the
treasury, the war and state departments
and the executive mansion, and placed
on the sward. The president, cabinet
senators and congressman witnessed the
games, and enthusiasm ran high.
Among the best of the players, one
who was "all round" though he gener-
ally played right field, was Arthur Cor
man. He became captain of the club,
and when the Nationals started off on a
triumphant tour of the country Cor
man was their general manager. They
whipped every club that opposed them,
and their progress through the country
was the occasion Of an ovation. Not
until they reached Chicago were they
compelled to lower their banner in de-
feat. There they were beaten by an I'M
known club of country boys from Rock
ford, Ills, whose pitcher was A. G..
Spalding, soon afterward a great pro-
fessional player, and now one of the
biggest baseball men in the country.
Young German was finally ousted
from the postmastership of the senate,
thoughsagainst the protest of Ben Wade
and other Republicans. He was then
active in the organization of the Con-
sentative party ip Maryland-an out
growth of Douglas Democracy-an Re-
publican senators secured his appoint

ly watching his companions frisk and
jump about while waiting for the word.
You have noticed also how often this
quiet, steady, unassuming animal gets a
good start in the race when the race is
really on, and how frequently he comes
at the head of the bunch to the wire.
German is just that sort of racer.
AS presidential candidate he makes no
noise, writes no letters, INDUCES in no
speech making. But that he is careful
~ watching every possible competitor,
that he sees and understands every
movement of the great game, is obvious
to all who know and observe the senator
from Maryland. In all America there
is no more shrewd, adroit public man.
The life story of this man who has
come up to party leadership in the ma
tional capital and to promising presi-
Dental possibilities, is an interesting,
though somewhat uneventful, one. He
is of Scotch Irish stock, from that sturdy
race of Presbyterians of the north of
Ireland A little more than a century
ago his grandfather, John German,
CStluO w Ulllo COAhtl c1iitt cSVtiOO epo
Harrisburg. John rman was cattle
trader, and eventually took up his resi-
dence in Baltimore.
There was born Peter German, the
father of the senator, a self reliant,
hard headed man, with all the vigorous
characteristics Of his race. He helped
build the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and was one Of the contractors who I'M
dertook the construction of the first sec
ton of that pioneer line. Arthur Pue
was one of three sons born to Peter and
his wife, the latter being Of the well
known Brown family Of Anne Arundel
county. Peter German was active in
politics and public affairs, attended
national and other conventions as dele
gate, but never became candidate for
Office. He was warm admirer of
Stephen A. Douglas, and douglas
Democrat"
When Arthur was thirteen years old
his father secured his appointment as a
page in the house of representatives.
The Portland daily press., 1892-03-28
GoRMAN THE PAGE.

He did not remain there long, for in the
Capitol he soon won the esteem of his
fathers friend, ssThe Little Giant" who
had the boy transferred to the senate.
That was in 1862, and thus, forty years
ago, he who is now the leader of the
Democratic Side Of the senate entered
that chamber as a waiting Lad. He
made his way there, of course. Old
Captain Bassett, who has governed the
pages for about half a century, says Ar
thur German was model boy. The
only fault he could find with him was
that he quickly made himself the leader
of the pages and had more influence
over them than Captain Bassett himself.
From page, Arthur was promoted to
be messenger, and then assistant door
keeper and finally postmaster of the
senate. His intimacy with Douglas con-
tinued. It was at the feet of ''The Lit
tie Giant" that he learned his first les
sons in craftsmanship. He acted for
some time as Douglas private secretary,
and lived in the senator's family. When
Douglas went out to Illinois to have his
RTCdG u6Ddt0 Will yOull5 NtOl
man accompanied him. He naturally
became imbued with the spirit of his
chief, and on his return to his duties in
the senate engaged in his first Legislative
battle. It was the fight over the Kan
SASH Nebraska bill, and the Douglas
Democrats depended upon German as
their "whip" to manage the voting
strength Of the friends of the bill, and
by alertness, physical endurance, tact
and caution to defeat the flibustering
tactics of the opposition.
In this school of politics and states
manship the young man proved himself
an apt pupil. 1t is not surprising, since
he was educated in the senate, that he
became an adept in the practical side of
public life. He was early taught to sit
in the chamber not as dreamer but as
one who was expected to work and
bring results. That lesson he has never
forgotten. The page who acted as

ment as internal revenue collector in
Baltimore. For fourteen years he was
active in state politics. He served in
the legislature, both branches, was
speaker of the house, became president
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and
in 1880 was elected to the United States
senate. He has since been twice re-
elected, and is now in the very comfort
able position of having a seat in the
senate assured him till the close of this
century. A year hence, if he be not
elected president, he will enter his third
term in the senate, which does not ex-
pire till March 8, 1899.

eswhip' for the Douglas Democrats in
the memorable Kansas-N ebraska strug-
gle became the senatorial leader who
directed the opposition to tne federal
election bill in the equally memorable
conflict which took place IN the last
congress.
Much of his prominence and popular
ity Senator German owes to his success
in that struggle. Whether or not the
SO called s'force bill' should have been
passed is no business of ours; but for
the tact, the skill, the untiring diplomacy
and masterful leadership displayed by
German in that battle, Republicans and
Democrats alike express the highest ad-
miration. His party was in minority
and yet it carried the day. Senators on
his own side became jealous and balky,
and gave the leader almost as much
trouble as the enemy.
Yet German never lost his temper;
that placid face was never r1ltfied with a
frown. "My dear SENATOR" he would
say to one Of his Democratic colleagues,
who was disposed to balk on him, Il
hear you have been looking up such and
such question. It is good point and
it ought to be elaborated. Don't let any
one else do it; do it yourself. You are
the only man who can show it up as it
deserves to be. Make one of your great
speeches and it will help the cause i'm
measurably"
Of course the senator who was thus
appealed to forgot his envy, left off his
baking and made the greatspeech. This
is how German kept his own men in
line, and up to. the high pitch of COM
bativeness required by the nature of the
struggle. How he managed the other
side, his friends, the Republicans, with
out whose help he could not win, is
secret history. But the upshot of it all
was success, an honorable success, and
throughout all Dixie there is not Dem
ocrat on whose tongue the name of Cor
man is not spoken with affection and
gratitude.
To go back to the early days, young
German held his postmastership of the
senate all through the war, though the
senate soon became Republican. His
natural gravitation toward leadership
showed itself in many ways. When

TWO AMERICAN LADIES TO WHOM
THE GODS HAVE BEEN VERY KIND.

Constance Fenimorc Woolson Inherited
Wealth, Genius and Beauty, but Is
Welded Only to Literature-Mrs. Julia
Caroline Ripley Dorr.
The poet is not without honor in his
own country. as the prophet is said to
be, and so Cleveland still prides herself
on a sort of claim to Constance Feni-
more Woolson. True, the poet-author-
ess was born in Claremont, N. H., lived
in Florida during the years when she
was best known to Americans, and hat
for some time lived in England, but
grew up, developed and first became
famous in Cleveland.
Cooking stoves and literary taste made
the Woolsons famous many years ago.
Charles Jarvis Woolson combines two
talents not often found in one person.
He taught school in Virginia and edited
paper in New Hampshire when but
youth, but in early manhood took up
the trade of manufacturing in iron
where his father left it and carried it to
far greater success. He married at
Cooperstown, N. Y, Miss Pomeroy, a
niece of Fenimore Cooper, and so their
daughter received his name along with
q large share of his talent.

Real White FOyskius.

1t has generally been considered that
white foxskins were Of the same myth
cal nature as chickens teeth, but Van
couver furrier was exhibiting a short
time ago what he claimed were the pelts
of five white foxes. The man is an ex-
pert naturalist and has been dealing in
furs in the northwest for forty years.
He says these are the first white foxes
he ever heard of, but he is absolutely
sure tho pelts are genuine foxskins.
The conformation has been carefully
preserved, and the big brush is of
course attached. The fur is snow white,
spotless and beautifully soft. The fur
rier bought them from seal hunter,
who caught the foxes at the last station
to the north of eastern Siberia, several
hundred miles north of Petropaulovsky.

slLyERPEe,s FARO GAME.
When His Copper Was Winning an Earth
quake Knocked 1t Of.


Silverpeg was an old prospector. He was
q taciturn man, and spent most of his time
prospecting in Sonora and Arizona. He
got his nickname from the fact that one OF
his legs was amputated at the knee, neces-
stating his wearing a wooden peg, and
the additional fact that he was always
prospecting for silver. Silverpeg had two
ambitions in lfe-,one was to strike rich
silver mine, in which event he swore he
would make himself silver leg to replace
the wooden one he hobbled around on; the
other was to beat faro by his system. His
system was for certain cards to win clear
through, and others to lose in the same
manner.
For years Silverpeg had spent his sum-
mers in prospecting without finding ''rich
silver mine" On the advent of winter he
would come to town and endeavor to break
the faro banks with his system. The day
the earthquake occurred he was at Bavispe,
Sonora, and was playing faro; he was play
ing his system and had been coppering the
jack. The jack had lost three times.
Silverpeg was in happy mood, as his sys-
TEN was proving winning one. He cop
pered the jack clear up to the limit, being
sure that his system was right, and that
the jack would lose out. But before the
dealer could make turn the earthquake
came, the walls of the house shook, and
chairs and tables began to slide over the
foor and the dealers and players, being
badly frightened, made a rush for the door.
When they got out on the street the shock
was over. The players, after recovering
from their fright, resumed their places at
the table. They had been so suddenly sur
prised by the shock that they had not
gathered up their checks, which, on their
return, were apparently just as they had
placed them. The dealer took his seat,
made turn, and the jack lost.
The shock had knocked the copper off of
Silverpegs bet, and be had not noticed it.
The dealer took the bet in, and Silverpeg
was dumfounded He saw what the earth.
quake had done. His disgust was intense.
Gathering up his remaining chips he cashed
them in, and turning to the players he
said: "Boys, played faro before learned
my prayers. have tackled brace games
before, but this is the first time l ever
struck bank where Providence stood in
with the house. My system was all right,
and if it had held back for that shock for a
few deals would have broke the bank. !
can beat the box but can't beat Provi-
dence. | will never play faro again. The
odds are too great"
Slverpeg kept his word and no induce
ment could ever persuade him to play faro
