Lincoln. On one side of the room is a
bookcase filed to overtiowing with old
books, and on the other side is small
desk at which the poet did all his work
when he worked at Oak Knoll.
The interior of the more modern
home at Amesbury is quite as severe az
that at Danvers. The house stands
few rods down street leading from the
main thoroughtare Of this carriage man
ufacturing metropolis, and was moss too
accessible to suit the old man, who
rather dreaded visitors. The room
he used as a study is again at the back OF
the house at the end of the hallway. 1t
is heated from a CRATE, and contains
few books, a desk and host of small
portraits upon the walls.
The school committee of Danvers, in
recognition Of Whittier's greatness, es-
tablished school holiday to be known
as Whittier Day. and several ether
towns and cities have followed the ex-
ample. On the 18th of every Deem
Der the school children Of Danvers send
the poet basket of white roses, con-
tanning as many blossoms as there are
years in his life. On his S0th anniver-
sary there was reception, and the gov
ernor Of Massachusetts cut the noun
tain-large birthday cake, and the callers
carried it off as mementoes Of the event.
Since then there has been no cele bra
ton proper.
In stature the poet was tall and spare,
and as straight, seemingly, as an arrow.
His hair was as white as snow, and thin.
His tace had naturally lost much of it's
fullness, still there were very few
wrinkles to be seen, and the entire
countenance was as expressive and
sweet as it was long generation ago.
But, after all, perhaps the most strik-
ing feature of the poets face was his
eyes. They were dark, rather small
and set we'll back under heavy brows,
and at times they glowed with a bright
ness such as one remembers long after
he has ceased to look upon them. It is
hardly necessary to give description
Of the poets dress, since, in keeping
with the Quaker faith, it was simple
enough. He wore dark, high but
toned vest, coat Of the black cutaway
style, with merely a suggestion, so to
speak. of velvet pertaining to the col
Ter, his trousers being OF precisely the
same color as his other garments.
HAvERHILL, Mass, Sept. THE news
of the death of John @. Whittier was
received here with universal feelings of
sadness and regret. The city hall bell
was struck eightyfour times at s O'Clock
as indicating the age of the deceased,
and flags on the public buildings and
school houses are displayed at hal!-mast
as tokens Prospect for the dead poet.

HE Chicago Inter-Ocean tells the
people Of that city that the way to hit
the coal combine between the eyes is to
reduce their consumption OF anthracite
one-half and substitute bituminous and
camel. The anthracite supply is APP
preaching exhaustion, and sooner or
later the people must take tbs bitumi-
nous, the stock of which is almost as
exhaustless as the foundations of the
earth itself. The narrowing OF the an
thraclte supply accounts for its increase
IN value, and it is not likely to ever be-
come cheap again unless advice like
that of the Inter-Ocean is acted upon
Why should not prudent economy be
exercised in this matter as we'll as in
others under similar circumstances :?
There has been waste of anthracite as
reckless and inexcusable as of our mag
n!ficent forests of half century ago.

THE BEHRlNG SEA DISPUTE.
Progress in the Preparation of Evidence
by Secretary Foster.

Progress in the Preparation of Evidence
by Secretary Foster.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. S.-The
second phase of the Behring Sea arbi-
tration Las been passed in safety, and
closed yesterday with the exchange of
cases between the agents Of the prin
clpals. The preparing of the orig
inal case for the United States has
largely engaged the attention of Secre-
tary j. W. Foster. 1t embodies most
minute historical collation. of the acts
connected with the Russian ownership
of Alaska SO far as they bear upon the
question Of maritime jurisdiction in
Behring Sea and control Of the seal
fisheries. There is also an exhaustive
analysis of the correspondence early
in the present controversy between
the governments of Great Britain
and Russia touching the question of
jurisdiction; recital of the Russian
ukase, reserving the waters of Behr-
ing Sea for the exclusive use Of Russian
fishermen and sealers and a strong argu
ment to show that the entire right of
jurisdiction asserted by Russia was ac-
quired by the United States under the
treaty of cessation negotiated by Secre-
tary Seward in 1867. All the ammuni-
ton is not exhausted. Yet it may be
safely assumed that the representatives
of the United States have reserved
sufficient material to enable them
to make q strong counter case.
This will be the next or third
phase of the arbitration. Senator Nor
gan, the only one of the United States
arbitrators now in this country. has
been supplied with copy of the Brit
ish case, and the representatives of the
United States government have already
begun to scrutinize the documents with
view to preparing the counter case or
the reply, as it may be termed, and
this latter work is likely to occupy their
attention for MANY weeks.

Conclusion of the Argument in One of
the Treasury Suits.

"a tHo fATSuH IN On0 OF
the Treasury Suits.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. S.-The argu-
ment in the Harshaw case was COM
pleted to-day. Joshua Stark ended his
able plea for the defense, Attorney
General O'Connor making the closing
argument for the state.
Mr.. O'Connor began by reciting the
complaint and giving synopsis of the
answer in the main case, and that Of J.
A. McFetridge, brother of the defend
ant, +. {. McF etridge, after which he
took up and discussed the case as made
by the state in the lower court. He
took up the term of office, the bond,
the amount received by McFetridge
from his predecessor, showed the aver
age monthly balance for the years 1882,
1888 and 1884. and showing that the de-
tendant must have had knowledge Of
the contents of the reports show
ing these balances. He went
into the details of the deposit
OF state money with banks,
gave extracts from the testimony of the
bankers to show that Mcretridge nego-
terest on the funds. He recited at great
length from the evidence taken at the
previous trial to sustain this point. Mr..
OConnor then went into the question Of
''public convenience" as relating to the
depositing Of state moneys in various
banks, to show that out-oftown banks
were at times selected for such
deposits, and that the con-
venience of the public was not
consulted. He quoted witnesses 10 show
that great secrecy was observed in the
dra wing of interest by McFetridge.

kept and the duty of the treasurer I'M
