entered the services as midshipman at the
age Of Is and has cruised the wide world
over. General Walker and the Nicara-

his ship in 1857. He was at the siege Of
Vera Cruz and the capture Of Tuxpan
in Mexico. During the civil war he
commanded the gunboat Connecticut
and distinguished himself by running
down and capturing four notorious
blockade runners and destroying four
others.
The present recorder in chief, Colonel
John P. Nicholson of the Pennsylvania

has distinguished itself above all other
veteran societies in the preparation and
preservation of historical records of the
war. Papers are read at every meeting
of the communicates, and many Of these
of great value to the student and his

commandery has published a volume of
the papers read before it, and the Ohio
commandery some time ago began the
publication of series of volumes of war

founder of the city of Lawrence and pro-
moter Of its industries, and his mother
was daughter of the late William APP
pleton.
The new bishop was born near Boston
in 1850 and was graduated from Har-
ward in the class Of 1871. On leaving
college Mr.. Lawrence prosecuted his
theological studies at the Episcopal
schools at Andover and Philadelphia.
His last year was taken at the Cambridge
Theological school, from which he was
graduated in 1875. He was appointed to
the rectorship of Grace church in Law
renee, which post he retained for several
years. He then took the post of vice
dean and the professorship of homilet-
les and pastoral care in his alma mater,
the Cambridge school. In 1889, on the
death of Dean Gray, he became dean, re-
tanning the professorships also until
chosen bishop. His wife was Miss Julia
Cunningham of Boston, granddaughter
of Bishop Parker, and they have three
daughters and one son.
Dean Lawrence represents the ssbroad

of life and having had great success in
other work, Bishop Lawrence will, the
Episeopalians believe, prove fully equal
to all the requirements and most
worthy successor of Phillips Brooks.

Outside attractions in addition to the
lake excursion are the falls of Minneha-

from the falls. The falls are in the
beautiful park maintained by the state
for the soldiers home. The fort is on a
high bluff at the junction of the Minneso-
ia and Mississippi rivers. The fort is very
old, and its age and lofty site render it
exceedingly picturesque and well worth
visit. The government steamer Gen
eral Barnard, belonging to the United
States army engineering department, is
to be at the disposal of the entertaining
committee for excursions to Fort Smell

The congress of the Loyal Legion is
not connected with the national body of

body of delegates elected by the state
communicates, three from each. The
delegates alone have seats in the con-
gress, and they have the power to revise

The objects of the order, as expressed in
its constitution and bylaws, are ''to 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 Gull
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 membership is dividedlinto 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 the
third class, gentlemen who in civil life
were specially distinguished for loyalty.
This class is limited to to every 83 Of
the first class, and the period of eligible
ity closed April Is, 1890. Volunteer staff
officers who served without commission
are eligible as companions at large.

a crowd of companions, perhaps the
largest ever known in the history of the
order.
The sessions Of the congress and the
reunion festivities will go on during the
same days, but will not conflict. The
congress will assemble in the hall of the
St. Paul chamber Of commerce at 10
O'clock on Wednesday, the 7th. On
Wednesday evening the visiting guests
will be honored with a reunion or camp
fire meeting in the Metropolitan Opera
House. The military band of the Third
United Statesinfantry will furnish music,
and the members of the order will speak
or sing song or tell story, according
to their individual gifts or humor. On
Thursday, at the close of the morning
session of the congress, an excursion
party will leave st. Paul for Lake Min
netonka and enjoy sail of 80 miles on
the fairest, freshest and most picturesque
inland lake on the continent.
Thursday evening a reception will be
given to visiting members at Hotel Ryan
by Minnesota commandery. Hotel Ryan
will be the headquarters of the Mime
sofa commandery during the reunion.
1t is fine hostelry, accommodating 1000
guests. Special hotel rates have been
made by the leading hotels of st. Paul
and Minneapolis, ranging from $3.50 to
$3.50 day. Special railway rates have
also been granted.

The coming summer will be alive with
interest. The dreaded Asiatic Cholera
threatens US, and the Columbian Exhibit
tor diverts our thoughts to pleasanter
things. Everyone is awake to watchful-
ness in the former, and all are hoping the
scourge may be kept away.
Scientists state that Cholera is always
introduced into the system through the
stomach.
The food we eat and the water we
drink are our sources of danger:
Cholera" says one, will not develop
if the person exposed is perfectly healthy.
1t is the weak, debilitated and improper
lyinourished who are prey to epidemics."
Here is the danger to many.
The Worlds Fair will tempt them to
Chicago. A change of water,-at all
times more or less harmful, lis doubly
dangerous, from the fact that the city
water of Chicago has been pronounced
vile and unfit for drinking purposes.
Spring waters will be sold, of course, but
their origin will be unknown, and the
temptation to quench ones thirst at every
opportunity will often be yielded to, re-
gardless of consequences.
Careless eating and drinking, if the
system is run down, will be sure to pro-
duce, if not Cholera, at least an attack
of some sort.
Officials will be on the alert for cases

SOME coan AnxIcR.


Secretary Hoke Smith is man of feel
ing. He showed it when he said that he
should be satisfied and proud If he could
only leave to his children record of faith
full service to his friend President Cleve-
land. And he has again sho wn it in his
kind thoughts toward his fellow Georgians,
who, inspired by his good fortune md the
idea that he ean and will help them, are
rushing to Wa shington in droves. The
secretary Is trying to stop this mad rush
and to convince those who have not yet
left Georgia that it would be better for
them to stay where they are. He has pre-
pared ciroular which he sends to those
who write to him. It reads: I would
suggest If it would not be better to remain
in Georgia, where the opportunities for q
good man are decidedly better than those
furnished through he-holding of public
Office Government officers get into a
groove which unfits them for civil life,
and 1t would be the part of wisdom to
steer clear of their entanglements, and to
find In private life those rewards which can
never come to the ofaieeholder.
This circular shows Secretary Smith in
good light He knows the dangers and
troubles o f offoeholding. To be sure, he
didn't shrink from them himself. but II
was necessary that somebody should sacri
fee himself, and he nobly did 1t. His devo-
tion to Democracy and to the new President
made him willing to get into groove
which would unfit him for civil life, and
to leave private life and the prospect Of
those rewards which can never come to the
offceholder. What he says to those who
are willing to make the same sacrifice ia
| sound, but we fear that most of those to
whom he says It will think it nothing buI
sound. They are 90 eager to help Denoc.
racy and the President that they have nc
fear of ssgroovesn and ''entanglements.
Indeed they would welcome them, and thu
salaries that go with them.
The kind-hearted Secretary's circular i
well meant, but 1t will have about as mucl
effect as would . lecture on abstemious
ness at newsboys' dinner.

TALLY ONE FOR THE WARDEN

TALLY ONE FOR THE WARDEN.
Warden Chamberlain and his friendf
haven't let the grass grow under theil
feet. They have seen that there wat
bound to be an investigation, and they
have decided to have 1t made so as to suit
themselves as far as possible. And they
have apparently made q good start in pre-.
venting the appointment of a special com
mittee to do the investigating. The argu-
ment used by them was a good one and a
sound one. Of course the Prison commit
tee ought to be able to do Its own investi-
eating. 1t will have a chance to do II
now and it will be very sharply watched.
The people of the State were not very
well satisfied with the last investigation,
and they will want this one to be thorough,
open and square.
1t is unfortunate that the investigation
has been pushed in. the way 1t has been,
but that should create no prejudice. If
the somewhat sensational newspaper has
told the truth it has done a public serv-
Ice. There have been mutterings about
the warden for long time. He was in
vestigated in Massachusetts,, and he has
been investigated in this State. He is now
to be investigated again, and the truth
ought to be made known. 1t will be un-
less the committee is regardless of its duty.
We do not believe it will be. 1t has no
right to be more friendly to the Warden
than to the State.

THE ANTI-POOL-RoOM BILL.


The anti-pool-room movement is in a
very curious situstion. 1t has apparently
been taken out of the hands of those who
first started 1t, and who were willing, In
their anxiety to root out an evil which was
unquestionable and conspicuous, not to
attack things which 1t was not So neoes-
sary to attack as 1t was to attack the pool
rooms. The bill reported yesterday by
the Judiciary committee WAS very COM
prehensive and stringent one. No fault
can be found with its uncompromising
morality, even if the expediency of some
of its provisions may fairly be questioned.
The idea seems to be general that the
bill will suit the friends of the pool rooms
better than the enemies of the pool rooms,
and some go SO far as to say that the
friends of the pool rooms did what they
could to have such q bill reported, hoping
that It's severity would defeat 1t In the
legislature or defeat its enforcement. It
may be that they have reasoned we'll, if
they have thus reasoned. They have, If
the legislature doesn't pass the bill. But
there is very strong feeling all over the
State against the pool rooms, and it may
be strong enough to make even this bill a
law. If 1t is the pool rooms can be thor
| oughly dealt with, even If some other
| things mentioned in the bill are not.
But if the bill should fail because it is
thought too severe, and If no substitute
for 1t or amendment to 1t should be &C.
cepted, what strange and significant per.
formance it would be. Those who have
tried to attack the pool rooms alone and
those who have been honestly opposed to
such a course would have a fine subject
for debate. And those who have been
horrided by the action Of the New Jersey
legislature would have chance to see how
similar results can be obtained by very diff
ferent processes.
