ers who have been daily visitors at the
White House have received . reminder
from the President that they will not i'm
prove their chances of appointment by per-

cornueopis side whiskers, who has called at
the Executive Mansion every day since

room and when Mr.. Cleveland saw him, he
said
You are quite a repeater. Let NE tell
YOU right here that if you continue to take
up my time ii is quite doubtful if | take up
your case at all
The tall man stammered that he would
remain away and retired in confusion. He
gave the up to the fraternity in waiting and

were hundred people on the boat at the
time, but not a life was lost. Capt. Wat
son aroused the passengers, quieted them at
best he could, and dashing up into the
pilot house. he seized the wheel and turned
the boat ashore. The flames blistered his
face and hands, but he stood his ground.
When the boat ran her nose into the soft
mud the pilot house had gone
and Watsons hair, beard and eyebrows
had been burned away.
Every soul on board has been saved"
he remarked, when he leaped off the burn
ing boat into the river.

dent, who said he WAS glad to meet the old
pilot. He promised to give his appli cation
careful consideration. The old captain
