A Story ofrreasurer Morgan.

United States Treasurer Morgan is one Of
the most careful of public officers in the
handling of details Nothing within his
official province escapes his personal atten-
ton. They tell story auolt him at the
treasury which Kate Fields Washington does
not vouch for as ABSOLUTELY true, but which is
good enough for illustrative purposes. At
the time of the great celebration at the CapI-
tol in commemoration OF the laying of the
cornerstone 100 years before, Mr.. Morgan
who was still comparatively new to his
duties was prey to conflicting desires he
wanted go downtown and hear the speeches.
but he was worried about his obligation to
take are Of Uncle Sam s money; so he de-
scended to the vaults and looked around

are you going to be this afternoon"
Il am on duty here, sir" answered the
man.
And you will be here the whole afternoon"
oh, yes. sir

with an air of great relief. Il saw the clerks

Tom Thumb Had Grown.

When Gen. Tom Thumb ana his wife were
on there return from their wedding tour in
Europe they stopped for a day or two at
Hartford, but did not place themselves on ex-
hlbitiOn. says the Youths Companion.
There happened to be in Hartford at the
time an old farmer from the neighb Orhood
of Litchheid Fill, who heard that Ion
Thumb was in the place, and resolved that
he would see him before he went home.
he farmer found his way to the hotel
where Tom Thumb was stopping, and was
told to go, if he wished to sec him TO a GER
tain room On the second floor and rap on the
door
The farmer went up and knocked as he
was Didden. But it happened the room was
occupied by certain Col. Jones, a promin-
ent politician who lived in an adjournlng
county, and who was a man of enormous
statue measuring almost seven feet in
hight
The Colonel had already been rallied little
on the fact that his next door neighoor down
the corridor was Tom Thumb and when the
visitor knocked at his door he was rather out
of humOr.

The farmer opened the door and peered in

Cranks in High Places.

The people Of Colorado are now salts
fed that crank in the gubernator ial
chair is a costly luxury Gov. Waite, of
that state, is about as fine a specimen
of a crank as there is to be found any
where in the west. When the bill to re-
peal the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man silver law was before congress he
made himselfparticularly notorious by his
spec hes. In one of his speeches he talked
about wading through blood, or some
thing of that sort, to defeat the enemies
of silver.
Soon after the purchasing clause of the
silver law was repealed, he called the
legislature of Colorado together with the
view of getting some sort of authority
from the state TO coin silver Tens of
thousands Of people in Colorado were out
of employment and the state treasury
was not in a condition to Justify the
expense of an extra session Of the legisla-
ture unless something could be done to
better the condition of the unemployed.
Protests were sent to the governor urg-
ing the folly of an extra ses-
sion, and members of the state Sen
ave OVEN " civ 81 lar DIS 10 say
that if the legislature met it would be at
once adjourned. The governor, however,
was determined to have his way. and
when the legislature met the members
found they could earn more as legislators
than by following their respective pro-
fessions and occupations. Therefore the
expressed determination to adjourn i'm
mediately after meeting was not carried
out
The legislature adjourned a day or two
ago, and it was found that it had cost the
state about SIS, 900. And what had been
accomplished Nothing, absolutely moth
ing of Importance. Twelve bills in all
were passed. Some of them are meri-
torious measures. Nothing whatever in
respect to silver was done. Not one of
the new laws helps the people in the
least. Not one of them affords employment
to the needy. The unemployed would
be just as we'll off if there had been no
legislation prior to the regular session of
the legislature. If, therefore, Colorado
did not have crank for a governor she
would be better off to the extent of $40
600, which the tax payers will have to
pay.
Gov. Waite is a sample of those men
who make great deal of noise and prom
Use much, but who never accomplish any
thing. Those who trust them invariably
find they are losers.
The people of Colorado have had all
they want of Gov Waite. They will
keep clear in future of the kind Of men
who have been forced into notoriety by
the populist movement.

Nailed the Bedolothes Down.

Ex-Congressman a. A. Ranney, OF Massa-
chuse Is. who is accredited with the leader
ship OF the Boston bar, gave evidence very
early IN life OF the strength OF purpose which
has charat tsrized his subsequent career. AS
a boy II was decreed by his stern old father
mat he and an elder brother should

the same bed. The future congressman dis

New \ ork Herald for the substantial reason
that his brother possessed a constitutional
tendency TO klcA the person with whom he
cnanced to be sleeping out Of bed. On cold

after twelve strokes had teen runR
from the deeptOned bell in the tower

to take the thief unawares The hammering
grew louder as he approached the room occu-

On the opposite side the future congressman

With the acquittal of Daniel Coughlin,
one of the suspected murderers of DIR. p.
H. Cronin, as detailed in our dispatches
yesterday, one of the most remarkable
murder trials of the age came to an end
on Thursday in Chicago. At the time the
murder was committed, some years AGO
Coughlin was a detective and a member
of a secret society which, it was shown
on former trials. had condemned DR.. Gro
min to death, and members of which were
convicted of having killed him. The
prosecution in the Coughlin case estab-
lished the fact that he had hired the
horse and buggy with which the physi-
clan was carried to his death. and en-
deavored to prove that he was party to
the conspiracy that led to the murder.
During the course of the trial the names
of many men prominent in politics in
this country and Great Britain were
dragged into court and unavailing efforts
made to involve them in the conspiracy.
The trial lasted four months. and
abounded in sensations and tragic after
claps. One witness a woman named
Eoy, who testified against Coughlin and
was deserted by her husband for so doing,
has since gone crazy from grief and fear;
several Of the attorneys, who went into
the case good friends, emerged from it
aYowed enemies, and a number of the
witnesses. bailiffs, etc, have been sent to
jail because of crookedness during the
trial. The cost to Cook county of this
case was very great, probably greater
THAN Of any other criminal case svey
tried IN the county. The curse Of the
Cronin murder has been widespread and
effective.

Moore Baker, the young farmer of New
Jersey who single-handed slew the two
murderers of his wife and child before
they could leave the scene of their crime.
as detailed in our dispatches the other
day, is no longer a hero in his town. as he
was for short while after the tragedy.
On the other hand, he has fallen in the
estimation of his neightors from the high
estate of hero to that of a groveling
mercenary, and his neighbors have made
the town of Franklin Park so unpleasant
for him that he has got to leave. For he
sold the furniture and other effects that
were in his bedroom at the time of the
tragedy to dime museum for exhibit; on
purposes 1t was at first reported that he
had received $500 from the museum peo-
pie, and Franklin Park was shocked
Then it became public that the price was
only $50, and Franklin Park notified
Moore Baker indirectly that he must
move.
