men and Chicagoan's love for himself,
and 1t is doubtful If SO much Of a mans
biography was ever written in so few
words. His love of horses is we'll known
in the Windy City, and during the labor
troubles Of his previous term in the city s
executive office, when he rode about con
tinually from place to place on beauti-
full thorough bred, "the mayor and the
mare" were household words.
His respect for women has more than
once appeared in evidence in the patience
with which he has listened to the irritat-
ing details Of petty domestic squabbles
brought to him for settlement as mag
istrate, and which should never have
left the privacy of the family hearth.
His love Of self is not idiosyncratic, nor
does it ever become offensive, but it or
some other controlling influence in his
nature has preserved his personal honor
during a long connection with politics
and politicians that have become ma
tional byword.

glance to the United States of America.
The objects of the order, as expressed in
it's constitution and bylaws, are 'sto cher
ish the memories and associations Of the
war;" to strengthen the ties of fraternal
fellowship, to extend relief to the wild
ows and children of companions, the cul-
tivation Of military and naval science,
and to protect the rights and liberties of
American citizenship and maintain ma
tional honor, union and independence.
The mem bership is divided into three
classes. In the first class are included
officers who bore commissions during
the war, enlisted men Of the Union army
or navy since commissioned in the regu-
lar service, or who have become or may
become eligible by inheritance;- also the
eldest direct male lineal descendants Of
deceased members Of the first class and
OF officers not members, but who were
eligible and died prior to Dec. 81, 1892.
If there are no direct male descend
ants, collateral branches may inherit
The second class comprises the eldest
sons of members of the first class who
have attained their majority, and tho
third class, gentlemen who in civil life
were specially distinguished for loyalty.
This class is limited to to every 33 Of
of ocers sisf Who " * served ;d Without commission
are eligible as companions at large.
The first commander in chief Of the
order was General w. S. Hancock. He
was elected in 1885 and was succeeded

The fervor of economy which recently
agitated congress recalls an incident of
the government printing Office which oc
Cured during the Rounds administra-
ton. A chief Of division in that big
workshop had had a good deal Of diff
Guilty in getting acquisitions for supplies
filed. The amount of lead pencils he
had called for had been criticised as ex-
cessive, and he put his wits to work to
devise ways and means to avoid clerks
carrying away those useful articles. He
made rule that clerk should be issued
but one pencil at time and that he
should return the stump of his old pen
Gil upon receiving new one This pro-
cess was continued during couple Of
years.
It never seemed to occur to the chief
that clerk could gather in stumps Of
pencils from his friends, if he were in
clined to cheat the Office, and the method
was regarded by its promoter as an evi-
dence of the massiveness Of his brain.
Finally, when his successor was ap-
pointed, among the effects of the Office
turned over to him were two good sized
boxes of stumps Of pencils, each stump
averaging less than an inch in length.
The curious collection took up good
deal Of room, and the new chief lost but
little time in sending it out of the Office
and in taking away the economical safe

ties against great odds before the episode
at Fayal, and her S'Long Tom was al
ready the nlainstay Of her armament
Shortly before the Armstrong sailed for
the Azores she received a new command
er from the regular navy, Captain Sam
uel Chester Reid. He was 80 years of
II years old. He fought several battles
in his teens and was a prisoner Of war
to the French in 1859. --s
The British squadron entered the har-
Yankee privateer, which the pilots told
them was lying there to take on water
and provisions. The harbor was neutral,
and the Armstrong could not withdraw
owing to calm. The British officers
declared that they would have the privar
teer and her crew if they had to knock
down the town to get them. Under
cover Of night they sent four launches
filled with men to board the Yankee.
The attack was repulsed with muslzets
and the ''Long Tom" Two volleys set
tied it, and the boats hauled off. A
second attack was made with IA launches
loaded with Britishers. That time the
"Long Tom" made fearful havoc firing
into the solid lines Of boats. The attack
was repulsed, and there was lull until
morning.
Then the whole British fleet closed in
on the privateer. Tho leading ship was
wounded several times by the "Long
Tom" and dropped out of the fight.
Reid saw that the British fire was en-
dangering the town in front of which
his vessel lay, SO he scuttled the schooner
and prepared to fight it out on land.
The British lost 300 sailors from the
boats, 100 of them killed or drowned.
Reid was showered with honors fol-
his exploit with the Armstrong and was
appointed to position in the regular
navy. He was stationed in New Y Yorh
| harbor for number of years and died
there in 1861. The arrangement Of oul
national flag with a star for every state
and a stripe for each of the original Il
was designed by Captain Reid. The re
turn of the ''Long Tom" to America was
brought about by Colonel Samuel G.
Reid of Washington, who visited Faya
recently to gather materials for memoirs

ished, the windows and doors there being
all in place and the heating apparatus
completed.
1t is All immense structure that is slow
ly assuming shape east of the capitol,
and when finished it will be one of the
handsomest buildings in Washington, as
it should be to house what is destined to
be one of the largest and most important
libraries in the world The dome, which
will be finished this summer, will be a
prominent feature. The iron skeleton,
both for the dome itself and the lantern
which is to srrmor11lt it, is now nearly
all in position The outside surface will
be of copper and is to be gilded. There
will be a balustrade about the base of
the dome and also about the lantern,
making safe and convenient outloolzs for
visitors. The height of the lantern will
be on q level with the base of the dome
on the capitol, SO that the view in that
direction will be shut off, butin all other
directions it will be unimpeded.
Beneath the dome is to be the great
reading room of the library. It will be
rotunda with a dianete- ,f 100 feet, or
14O feet including the alcoves outside
the columns. The arrangements for
lighting this vast room are calculated
with such nicety that it is said there will
not be shadow cast anywhere within
it's limits. The whole building indeed is
to be exceptionally well lighted if the
number Of windows is any Indication.
Of these there are to be / 800 when the
structure is completed, and there will
be no necessity for any one spelling his
eyes while studying the $1,000 or more
books at present contained in the library
or the future millions that are expected
to be placed there. On tie basis Of the
ibrary's growth i'll the past calculations
have been made which s.; " that the
new building ought to MT, s the require
ments of the next century, and if the
shelves are not overcrowed before that
time VIC may safely leave the question OF
future extensions to some coming gen

storied achievements which adorn Uncle

exposition is a piece Of old fashioned long

record.
It is the "Long TOM of the privateer
General Armstrong. The Armstrong
alone fought a British squadron mount
ing 1876 guns in the harbor of Fayal in
the Azores, Sept. 26, 1914. The Arm
strong carried seven guns, six of them

24-pounder, such as were mounted on
swivel at the bow Of the fleet sailers for
use in chasing the enemy. They were

which made the General Armstrong a

sumably, therefore, brave, for no other
kind OF q man will accept the Persian
mission. It is an odd fact, and yet quite
natural one, that the ten years or SO of
this mission have given us series OF
most interesting sketches of wild life and
adventure, and a very entertaining book
of comedy, pathos and drama might be
compiled out Of the reports of Ministers
Benjamin and Winston and the latters
secretary, Count Wolf Won Schierbrand.
When during President Cleveland's 8
first administration the Hon. Bayliss W.
Hanna of Indiana was offered the Per-
sian mission, he replied with somewhat
profane emphasis. they say, that it was
not fit for an Indiana man and went to
Argentina instead. To journey for many
days together over rugged mountains
and then across q desert SO horrible that
only the Jornada del Muerto in New
Mexico and Death valley in the Yuma
desert can be compared with it, only to
find that his chief duties at Teheran are
to make presents to officials and listen
to the complaints of missionaries, is GER
tainly trying. Our commercial relations
with Persia are not more important than
with Kamchatka, and while two or three
Americans per year may call on the min
lister they are usually of a kind who do
not care to talk about their past.
Samuel Greene Wheeler Benjamin,
who established the United States lega~
ton at Teheran in 1888, was remarlzably
well qualified, for he was born at Argos
in Greece. His father was missionary
in the orient-died, in fact, in CONSTANT
nople- and there was family sympathy
uneless, Mr. Benjamin resigned III 1856.
Colonel Frederic S. Winston in a mo-
ment of recklessness, according to his
statement accepted the honor and suf-
fered accordingly" He grew tired Of
it very soon, got away by a worse trip
from Teheran than he made in getting
to it and is now a prominent and wealthy
citizen of Chicago. President Cleveland
next appointed DR.. Spencer Pratt Of Al
ALBANIA, also a new man, young and
brave, and he got hard hit by one Of

invoking capital at home.
To him succeeded Hon. Truxton Beale
of California, son of the brave General
E. F. Beale, who was such favorite
with General Grant. Mr.. Beale came
home as soon as he could get leave and
was transferred to Athens.
Hon. Watson E. Sperry Of Delaware
was the latest minister and is now sue
ceeded by Mr.. Mcdonald. The salary
attached to the place is $4,000 year.
Mr.. Sperry had made record as an en-.
terprising and successful journalist and
fully sustained the reputation Of our
ministers to Persia for talent and brav-
cry.
