DEATH OF NELLIE GRANTS HUSBAND.


Algernon Charles Frederick Sartoris
who married Nellie Grant, daughter of
Gen. Grant, is dead.
His death is q small loss to society,to
Nellie Grant Sartoris or the world.
And well do we remember the day,
May 21st 1874, when Nellie Grant, then
the most popular aud conspicuous girl
in the United States, gave herself away,
in that wonderful wedding at the
White House. She was the idol of
Washington society when Gen. Grant
was President. Her father was then
the foremost of all living men, on either
side of the Atlantic.
Nellie Grant, lovely girl, in person,
manners and accomplishments, could
have married the best young man in
America. But along came Algernon
Charles Sartoris from England. You
know the result. While her father and
mother both protested, she would not
listen to the sensible paternal advice,
and she threw herself away on this
rennlless, worthless and dissolute
EogIishman.
Every hour of her life since she cross
ed the Atlantic, as the bride of Sartoris,
has been as sad and desolate as life in
prison.
Aud yet we remember what a
gala day was Nellie Grants wedding at
the White House, May 2l, 1874. All
that art could do to decorate the White
House was done. Even the great East
Room was robbed of its stateliness and
converted into bower of roses, palms
and ferns. Nellie Grant wore Worth
gown, made in Paris, that cost six
thousand American dollars. The wed.
ding banquet was the richest ever
spread in the White House. And yet
that wedding day was the burial of all
Nellie Grants hopes. With the fading
of the roses on the great East Room
mantels all her dreams of happiness
went out for life.
Tom Hood says:
There Is even a happiness
That makes the heart afraid:
But Nellie Grant did not even enjoy
that poor happiness, with the cold blood
ed and worthless Sartoris. For nine
teen years of her best womanhood her
life has been worse than exile, and now
she is a widow, who has not even the
consolation of a tear over a worse than
wasted life, that had worse than wasted
her own.
SartOris dies, without a tear, "un-
wept, unhonored and unknown" and
the beloved daughter of our greatest
military character is forever linked
with his name and career.

No wonder that HOgg is weary
and wants the help of a pardOning
board. He has already pardoned
moro murderers than have paid
the penalty of their crimes, and
those he has pardOned are fewer in
number than those whose senten-
ces he has committed, stayed or
suspended. Give him a rest and
let the pardOning board take up
the work of turning loose on the
state the criminals that the much
maligned juries have found guilty.
If, as the Fort Worth Gazette in
Inmates, the Texas delegation in
Congress votes for free silver, then
those gentlemen who misrepresent

that reckoning is fOreshadOwed in

also in Kilgore's district. There is

WANTS UNDERGROUND WIRES.
Col. Wilson Thinks Government Line,
Should He Put Out Of Strbt

III -
should be Put Out Of Sight.
Col John NJ. Wilson. commissioner of pub
nc buildings and grounds, is a stanch and
consistent advocate Of an underground sys-
tenn OF telegraph wires and is doing all he
can TO nave that system applied to the gov
ernment telegraph connecting the Capitol
with the executive departments and the gov
eminent printing office. In his last annual
report ne called attention to the fact that 1t
Is becoming more and more difficult to oper-
ATE the overhead telegraph system, owing
to the trees along the line gradually grow
ing up into the wires and interrupting the
currents. particularly during wet and windy
weather. He says that the necessity for re-
placing the present poles. either with taller
ones or OF replacing the overhead wires
with the modern system Of underground
cable, is so apparent that 1t is unnecessary
to argue the point He strongly favors the
underground system in preference to taller
poles and only mentions the latter because
OF its apparent cheapness compared with
the proper system. He asks for an appro-
priatioE of 81, 900 to enable him to replace
the present system of wires with dupli-
cate 6-conductor underground cable to in
clude in all about 6,625 linear feet of wire
In the fear that Congress may not be will
ing to authorize such a radical change of
system, Col Wilson also submits an alter
nate estimate of 81, 500 for the erection of
taller poles. He is known to be opposed
to the Disagreement of streets and parks
with unsightly poles and would not counten-
ance their erection under any circumstances
If he had the power to avoid il. The matter
has been brought to the attention of Con-
gresS and determined effort will be made
to induce that body to authorize the intro.
duction of the underground system into the
government telegraphic service in Washing
ton.

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
What Gen. Wheeler Says About It's
Probable Action.

The caucus to consider the tariff bill will
probably be held on Tuesday evening next.
II Chairman Wilson's report is finished by
that time-and the chairman thinks 1t will
be-the bill will be reported to the House
on that date Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama,
who has been the moving spirit in the call,
believes that several nights will be spent in
caucus.
"Forty-three gentlemen" said he this
morning, signed the call 1 only spoke
with fifty members regarding the matter,
and all but seven indorsed the movement.
There seemed to be but one sentiment
among them. 1t is better to settle our diff
terences in private than in the open seS-
sions of the House.
ITO what schedules will the caucus prin-
cipally devote Its attention." Gen. Wheeler
was asked.
THE whole bill will be carefully gone
over. The members from my section will
urge the manifest unfairness of putting coal
and iron ore on the free list when the men
VINO own the mines are paying a duty of 40
per cent on the machinery with which they
we would like to e equalized The sugar
men will ask the bounty be abolished
and that a duty of say 3-4 of a cent be
placed on raw sugars. They will be satis-
sugar manufacturers. Then there is the
chemical schedule. A number of changes
can be made in chemicals that will increase
the revenues, benefit the consumers and not
injure the trade. Other members will also
suggest changes in other schedules, but
these / speak of are the ones that occur
to me now as being desirable to have modi-
fed"
DO you think the bill will be materially
changed in caucus?"
MANY of the changes will probably be
slight. In other cases 1 have no doubt that
radical changes win be made"
