IN QUIET CONCORD.
A Visit to tho Graves of Emerson, Hny-
thornc, Thorcau and AIcott.
81 ,.l.,,,..


CONCORD, Mass, Jan. 1T.-The death of
Mrs. Lidian Emerson and her burial by tho
side of her husband, Ralph Waldo Elmer
son. the poet philosopher, in Sleepy Hollow
cemetery. takes one again to that beautiful
ridge where some of natures nearest and
dearest children have found last resting
place. 1t is eminently appropriate that,
after their quiet, self forgctful lives, their
graves should be marked so CONSIDERATIONS
ly that stranger cannot easily find them.
The bowlder of beautiful pink quartz
which marks the grave of Emerson stands
as it came from the quarry. 1t is perfect
emblem of the rugged character of the phi
losopher, while the warm color which per-
vadcs it seems to show the loving, sun
shiny nature of the man and poet Not
word or sign mars its beauty, and they are
unnecessary, for from its perfect fitness the
stone speaks for itself
The grave of Hawthorne is near in an in
closure made by Il hedge of arbor vit;e. A
wire fence has been added more recently
with padlockcd gate and Il sign upon one
of the trees on the inside requests visitors
to refrain from picking the evergreen. The
admonition is wise one, for the I'M

In Brooklyn church short time ago n
young woman of the congregation did a
neat collapse not far from the door of the
sacred edifice after calculating that she
would be carried into neighboring drug
store in the arms of n certain stalwart youth
who was short distance behind her. With
closed eyes she was gathered up from the
pavement, but the stimulation was almost
turned to something real, when she just
opened her eyes far enough to peep and dis

the rescue, while the other was occupied in

servatism. Every marriage, Mrs. Hen
rotin declared. should be co-partner-

ladies in attendance and the bank
ers. in the railroad congress George K.

AT the eighth annual commencement
of st. Thomas seminary the presence
of the papal delegate, Archbishop
Satolii, and his remarkably pleasant ad-
dress inspired every prelate and
scholar in the large and notable audi
ence. The kindly faces of other v;si-
tors from afar added to the pleasure Of
the occasion. Among these were
Bishop O'Gorman, the confidential
companion of the delegate; Rev.
Fathers Pace, Shahan and Grammar, of
the Catholic university at Washington;
Bishops Shaley, of North Dakota; Cot
ter, of Winona; McGalrick, OF Duluth,
and Marty, of Sioux Falls. Arch
bishop Ireland. speaking eloquently for
the Northwestern representatives.,
designated the occasion as marking
"thrice happy day." 1t was the eighth
anniversary of the seminary founded
through the plans and efforts of Bishop
Cretin and Archbishop Grace, the latter
present. beloved and venerated.
The school was opened in 1885 and
has been emiuentty successful. Its
courses of study are classical and eccle-
siastical. and the thoroughness of the
work done fits the student for the best
attainments of life. The sppils number
130 this season, eighty or whom are in
the classical and fifty In the ecclesiasti-
cal courses. The students come from
all sections of our own country and
some from foreign lands.
The faculty is as follows:

and for my part l can't see how these
F, students can use short division and
| make twelve go into the amount given
each and make it come out even at the
end of the year without adding large
amount to the original amount given to
divide. If that is done there is no re-
mainder. | don't see how the problem
is to be solved by long division at all.
| We willhave 70 use subtraction and adj
ditiOn to work out the problem.
/ Preceptor-It is easy enough If you
go at it the right way. There is the
amount in dollars given to each of you.
The time is one year. That is what
this rule says Cunning to the Bell char
! ter. Now you have twelve months in
| the year. Divide the number OF dollars
| by twelve and you will get for quo
tient the number of dollars and cents
you are to spend each month.
| Comptroller-But the trouble is that
some of the boys have expended more
in one month than Is shown in the quo
| tient. They have divided by six and
| have no more dollars to divide. That is
where the trouble begins.
| Preceptor-That won't do (goinG to
the board). Now this is the way to
solve this question:: You have so many
, dollars to spend. You divide by twelve
and the answer will come out right. 1t
must be done that way.

This scene represents the mayor and

conference. The object of the meeting
is to outline the policy of the city as
provided for by the Bell charter. and to
give an accounting Of how the funds of
the city have been distributed and how
they shall be diSbursed in the future.
Mayor Wright is the preceptor and the
heads of the departments are the pu-

make our problems come out even.
Several Pupils-No, sir! We won't
do that 1t won't be fair! We want
our own amounts, and haven't enough
for ourselves.
Pupil-Some of the boys have not
used all of their money. Now If we
will give the mayor contingent fund,
taken from those who have not used all
of their money, he can help us out with
our problems.
Comptroller-It might be that all the
boys could solve their problems if the
city fathers will set aside contingent
fund to meet the deficiency In some of
the departments. 1t may take a num-
ber of meetings of the city fathors, but
II they will meet often and keep adding
to the mayors contingent fund. he may
be able to help the boys out who cannot
work out their problems.
Preceptor Let us see what the rule
says. (Turning to the Bell charter.)
This does not seem to say anything
about it. Well. you all try to work out
your problems, and we will see what can
be doue at the next class meeting. We
will try and devise some way of getting
out of this hole. The first problem is the
fire department fund. You see divide
by twelve the amount available, and
the result should be the amount eX-
pended. 1t does not come out right, so
| cross it out and give the answer be-
low. By next class meeting | must have
the solution. You are dismissed.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The appoint
ment CT Hon. Charles ii. Benedict as
consul to Cape Town, Africa, by the
president today was not unexpected, as
when Chairman Cutcheon left the city
last week he took with him the assur-
ance that Mr.. Benedict would be ap-
pointed in short time. The salary of
the position will be not far from $4,000
per year. But this is not the attractive
part of it to Mr.. Benedict. For several
years lie has been in bad health, and a
change of climate few months ago
was decided to be absolutely neceS
sary by his physicians. Cape Town
is a most desirable post The climate
is almost as delightful as Nassau, the
society good. and those who are ac-
quanted with the new consul will feel
certain that this country will be well
and ably represented as long as Mr..
Benedict remains in the service. There
is, however, an especial reason for con-
graduation over this appointment by
Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Benedict was one
of the pioneers in the low tariff move
ment in Minnesota. and was the first
president of the state organization
formed about ten years ago, of which
the late Gordon E. Cole and many other
leading men were members. Then, as
now, Mr.. Benedict was an earnest and
faithful worker in the cause of Democ-
racy.
The president also appointed Benia-
min D. Williams, of Alabama, to be
commissioner to negotiate with the
Chippewa Indians in Minnesota, act ap-
proved Jan, IA, 1880, and Darius f. Ing
ham, Of Maine, to be consul general of

WAsHINGToN, June 12.-The presi-
dent and Secretary Morton are having
difficulty in selecting successor to As
sistant Secretary Willets, of the agri-
cultural department, whose resignation
has been accepted to take effect June
80. There are twenty or more appli-
cants, but the president, when the mat
ter was brought to his attention last
week, did not seriously consider more
than three names. There are not many
"eligibles" from the Southern states,
and consequently it seems probable that
Assistant Secretary Willets may be re-
quested to retain his position until a
suitable successor can be determined
