sonal tuition during three of the busiest
and proudest years of his life. From

more"
1t was in such training school that
Mr.. Winthrop developed his genius for
craftsmanship and oratory. While he
remained In active political life, he
was supporter Of the old whig party.
but as he himself says, he was by no
means in accord with tho views ex-
pressed by Mr.. Webster in his famous
7th Of March speech, and later In the
same year, 1850, Mr.. Winthrop was one
of twelve senators who voted against
the fugitive slave bill. He was too
conservative to suit the free-soilers of
the day, however, and being defeated
by narrow margins for senator and
governor of Massachusetts,, he retired
from political life, except as a speaker
in a few of the presidential campaigns
that followed. When the war came
on he advocated its prosecution with
spirit.
Among the more important orations
delivered by Mr.. Winthrop, that on
The Pilgrim Fathers" given at New
York in 1889. first attracted national
attention to him He spoke the orstion
at the laying of the corner stone of the
Washington monument N 1s4s, and
prepared the address on It's completioe
in 1885, as already stated, which was
read by Gov. Long in his absence on
account of illness. Moro especially
noted were his Boston centennial
Grafton in 1876 and his oration on the
hundrsth anniversary of the battle Of
Yorktown in 1851. In all of these sd-
dresses he has appealed In stirring
words to the patriotism OF his country
men It was at Yorktown that, in the
shadow of President Garfelds death,
he gave this eloquent peroration:

There are but few left Of the genera
tion of great Americans born in the first
decade of this century. The late
George Bancroft, the oldest of the
group, lived to see almost all his ia
nous contemporaries pass away.
Among men of somewhat lesser note,
the venerable but vigorous personality
of Dr.. William Henry Furness, of Phil
sdelphia, is still with US at the age Of
ninety-two, and Gen. George s.
Green, one Of the Gettysburg heroes,
and now the oldest living graduate of
West Point, equals DR.. Furness in prac-
teal interest II contemporary affairs
and exceeds him in age by year. Mr..
Robert c. Winthrop, OF Boston, although
he, like Mr.. Bancroft, retired many
years ago from active public life, yet
like the latter he continued to increase

among the Tigers ,sachems. The pres
ent plan is to select q well-known man
for leader, and when he has succeeded
in demonstrating the inability of any
one but Croker to manage the affairs
of the organization, the ex-boss is to
resume his former place with eclat.
Extraordinary as this plan may seem,
it would certainly prove very effec-
tive, and would give the municipal
magnate prestige in the conduct Of
the coming campaign that nothing else
could.
Another reason for this step is al
legged to be Croker's sensitiveness to an
impression which appears to have got
abroad that he was in reality dropped
or forced out. That may be true, but
Croker is Tammany power still.

ANARCHY.

Anarchist club in the metropolis,

thriving condition. Superintendent
Byrnes himself declares that many of
New York's anarchists are personally
the most humane and benevolent of
men. The wild element gives
trouble, of course, but the students
and professional men, who ''go in for"
anarchy, are imparting to the prop
aganda weird respecta bility. Never
theless, the anarchists have not nearly
as much to do with explosives rs many
people think-at least anarchists in
New York have not.

in prominence before the American
public through the exercise Of his
wide learning and great mental
abilities in works Of literary and his
torical character. 1t is as an orator
and commentator upon the times that
Mr.. Winthrop i best known to the
present generation, and now that he
has just reached the age Of eighty-ffve,
1t has seemed fitting time to refer to
his long and brilliant career Unques-
tionably at the present time MIR. Win
throp is the first citizen of the repub-
lie, a position he divided so1ong with
Mr.. Bancroft. With no disparagement
to the honorsbly won titles of the gem
tlemen just mentioned, it may be said
that there is more impressiveness in
the plain Mr.. Bancroft, or Mr.. Win
throp, or MIR. Gladstone, than in all the
prefxes bestowed by governments or
colleges. Prefxes do not stick TO the
names of such great men.
1t is hardly necessary to refer hero
to Mr.. Winthrop's ancestry. His de-
scent from Gov. John Winthrop, Of
Massachusetts,, is familiar to all per-
sons in or out of Boston. Yet by his
descent from this and other families OF
note and achievement, he doubtless in
herited many Of the qualities which
fitted him for his distinguished. career.
Nearly all his forefathers in q direct
line were graduates of Harvard and at
Harvard he graduated himself sixty.
six years ago. 1t was indeed an i'm
pressive experience to meet and con-
verse with one who completed his po-
litical career before the veteran Sena-
tor Hoar, of Massachusetts,, had en-
tered upon his own. While Mr.. Win
throp practically only finished his
work as public orator with the prep
aration of his address on the compile
ton of the Washington monument
in 1855, yet he retired from political
life, owing TO combination of
circumstances, more than forty years
before that time. ! met him at
the country place in Rrookline
where he has passed nearly thir-
ty summers, although since the
death Of Mrs. Winthrop, some two
years ago, be has spent most Of the
summer months with his son at Nahant.
He is not very strene, yet his manner
and conversation retained all the dis
tinction and courtly courtesy Of gem
tleman of the old school. He has re-
tired from his position as president of
the Massachusetts, Historical society,
which he held for thirty years, and
from other offices in which the duties
were too heavy for him to retain them,

Already, the summer girl.
She comes to US with the Jack roses
and the blue Of the June skies, as sweet
rs the one, Of serenity as unruffied as
the other. She is more ethereal than
the winter girl and not more, but diff
ferently, charming.
One realizes her presence first, with a
start and an odd sensation of discovery
that another year is tobogganing into
the dimly remembered past, at the first
lawn parties OF the season. The first
lawn parties are not held on lawns.
Living the life of NoInad it was my
fortune last night TO sit late at the
window and listen to the merry hum
Of voices and the throb of the waltz
from country house diagonaIly across
the road. The day had been fair but
the evening was chilly, yet little heed
of this had the revelers, for not only
house, but generous portion of the
lawn itself, had been walled in and
covered over with white cotton cloth,
so that Messer Romeo might say to Ju-
liet: Come walk with me beneath the
kindly canopy Oft Fruit of the
Loom,'" or Wamsutta, or Whatever it
is; and win the easy guerdon of a
laugh. But kindly such q canopy is
indeed. Some days earlier had been
guest, not onlooker, at lawn party
of more pretentious character, for
which wide dancing floor with walls
and roof had been built far out from
the piazza, at considerable cost,
shonld say. the house being old-fason-
ed enough not to contain ballroom as
big as barn.
