GaRFIELO'S SECRETARY.
Career Of the Man who Was at One Time
Very Well Known.

Career of the Man Who Was at One Time
Very Well Known.
Washington Letter in Boston Trans
rript: A nan has just resigned an 81, 800
clerkship here for n place in the Seal
company on the Pacific coast, and it
would seem as IL he never would have
wanted an insignificant clcrkship here.
This is Mr.. Stanley Brown, private sec
rotary to President Garfield, and who
married his only daughter. This man,
who once had q position that in Secre-
tary Lamont's case led straight to n
cabinet Office, was glad to get n small
government job. His wife, who seemed
destined TO have a position as
brilliant as that Of a princess
royal, lived the quietest sort of
a life in n little house, very like
those occupied by the wives ,of
clerks on small salaries. Her tastes are
probably quiet. and her modest means
may have ~disinclined her to society, for
here, where she has lived TOR years, peo-
pie generally do not know her by sight,
or know any particulars abou: her-not
even know how many children she has.
1t is rare, II not unprecedented, for the
daughter of n president to he SO utterly
lost to sight in Washington. There is
n superb old lady who is quite we'll
known, a daughter OF President Tyler,
living here at the Louise Home, the
noble charity founded by the late Mr..
Corcoran expressly for reduced gentle
women. She is quite well known to
people at large, although the lady dates
back half a century to her period Of im-
portance. while President Garfield's
daughter only a few years ago had her
day.

A reporter who talked with her on

her bedside and caught the faint re-
plies and interpreted them. The first
reply when Tynan's story was read TO

II will say nothing in answer TO the
man who has betrayed us"
She was asked TO say q word In de-
Tense of Parnell.
"Parnell was innocent" she gaspcd.
