The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1894-02-15
Barry O'Brien's Canard.

The Speaker, a weekly literary organ
of liberalism, endeavors to create a po-
litical sensation by announcing the dis
covery of a grand new Tory scheme. The
design is to dish the Home Rulers by the
establishments five great national coun-
ellis, two for England and n each for
Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with the
endowment Of an Irish Catholic univer-
sity. The Speaker further declares that
the scheme has been submitted to the
leaders of the Irish Nationalist parties.
Probably this pretty story has been Ca
bled to America with ashow of authority.
There are signs that it set politicians here
talking freely. Therefore it is neces-
sary to say that the whole thing is a fan
tastic fake. The proud author is Barry
O'Brien, barrister, journalist and writer
| of several books on Irish politics which
Gladstone has praised.-London Letter.

Or. Eckenro"r'h 49,. ria Almost Unpaw-
alleled In ia" A:nAIs of Fishing.
A remarkable haul of cells was made
the other day by Cosmos Eckenrode, who
was fishing along the Tulpehocken.
There is a variety of cells known a the
tandem eel, which is very seldom found
in this state, though common in the west.
A popularity Of this variety is that they
travel, when migrating, single file. about
six inches apart, and maintain that dis
lance exactly during the time of their
progress. If n Of the lot shoots ahead
too rapidly, the one following immedi-
ately grasps him by the tail in order to
drag him back to his proper place in the
line. They appear to have q remarkable
instinct for distance, and the variation
Of an inch will cause the rear eel to az
ercise his authority to put the brakes on
the one ahead.
While Mr.. Eckenrode was fishing he
hooked one Of the travellers, a very re-
markable circumstance. as they seldom
bite while migrating. AS soon as he had
hooked 1t he of course gave q haul on the
line, which caused this particular eel to
shoot ahead. He was immediately
grasped by the one following, and as
that one likewise shot ahead the next one
did the same, 90 that when Mr.. Ecken'
rode began to haul out he found a solid
rope of cells. Dropping his rod and line,
he grasped the living rope and began tc
haul in hand over hand. He kept haul
ing in and piling up the cells until he
was utterly exhausted, when he was
obliged to stop and cut the connection
He quickly ran for assistance. and 6
number of the neighbors came to helI
him take care of his rare catch. Wher
they were all gathered up and loaded or
O it was found that he had 81
pounds. About $50 worth were sent t.
the Reading market, and the rest wer'
distributed among his neighbors.
The news Of his remarkable catch ha
spread all over the upper part of tn
county, and q great many fishermen hav'
been endeavoring to repeat it. but with
out success, since, according to natural
lists, an occurrence Of this sort is one o
the rarest in shing.-Reading Herald.

meals were taken to his room by Mrs.
Davis. 1t appeared in the evidence that
Mr.. Whitman had spent $4,000 for n
nausoleum in Harleigh cemetery, where
he was buried.
Mrs. Davis denied the allegation of
the defense that when she received the
81 900 bequeathed to her by the poet she
relinquished her claim for her services.
Horace S. Trauble, one of Whitman's
literary executors and the poets private
secretary, testified hat he knew Whit
mar when he first moved to Camden in
1873, but visited him very little until
1888. After that time he saw much of
the poet, who was regularly engaged III
writing poems and prose, with the eN-
ception of a short time when i'll with
paralysis. Whitman wrote two poems
a week for the New York Herald up to
within a short time of his death.
From 1885 to 1888 the poet did not need
any particular care or attention, but in
June, 1883, he had three partial paralytic
strokes and was compelled to take TO his
bed. He recovered sufficiently in a few
months to resume his work and go about
town accompanied by a nurse provided
by his friends. In s~peakingof Whitman
| appetite it was said that he was a hearty
eater. but always accommodated himsel
to circumstances.
Mrs. Davis sued for S. 900. The jur,
awarded her $500.

There is a science in doing little
things just right" said adown town bust
ness man a few days ago. land notice
it in my Office. l had two Office boys
there whose main duty it was to bring
me notes or cards that were sent in to
me or to fetch things that I wanted to
use. One Of those boys. whenever / sent
him for a book or anything heavy, would
walk rapidly by my desk and toss it in
definitely toward me. If it happened to
miss me and land on the desk, it was all
right. If it fell on the floor. the boy al
ways managed to fall over it in his eager
ness to pick it up. Then if he had a
letter or a card to deliver he would come
close up to the desk and stand there scan
ming it over with minute care. This
being concluded, he would f1aunt it airlly
in my direction and depart.
THE other boy always came and went
so that | could hardly hear him. If it
was a book. inkstand or box of letters,
he would set it quietly down at one side
of the desk. Letters and cards were al
ways laid-not tossed-right where my
eye would fall on them directly. II
there was any doubt in his mind about
whether he ought to lay a letter on my
desk or deliver it to some other person
in the Office, he always did his thinking
before he came near me and did not
stand annoyingly at my elbow studying
the letter. That boy understood the sci
ence of little things. When New Years
came, he got $40. The other boy got

LIGHTING THE CAPITOL.

A Large Electric Light Plant to BE Put In
by the Government.
It is probable that the electric lighting
plant to be put in the nations capitol
will not only be required to light that
building. but also to illuminate the con-
gressional library, which is to be the
largest building of its kind in he world,
and which, by reason of it's uses, will re-
auire the best class of illumination.
To accommodate such a plant it will
be necessary to locate the engine and
dynamos in a structure erected for this
special purpose. The location of the
power house is now being carefully con-
sidered, and the decision will probably be
reached very soon. The house will be
ornamental in appearance, and will be OF
sufficient size to contain not only the
eight dynamos necessary for the present,
but also for other buildings that may be
added to the group clustering around the
capitol. notably the home for the su-
preme court.
A careful estimate has placed the orig
inal cost Of the building, the machinery,
| the wiring and general installation of the
! plant at $500, 900. This will insure the
! work to be of the best character and the
plant to be of sufficient size to furnish all
, the light that can be used in the build
! ings and the grounCS. This latter is q
most important item in the calculations
for at present there is an utterly made
auate Illumination of the great park. II
is not certain whether the grounds viii
be lighted by arc lamps or groups OF In
candescent globes. But this is a matter
of detail to be settled afterward.
A rough estimate that has already beer
made of the cost of maintaining the new
plant, which will do not only the worl
now done by the gas and electric plant!
in the capitol building, but also the entir'
work of lighting the new library build
ing and the Maltby House, shows that i
will cost in the neighborhood of $500

Sketches of the Insurgent Leader and OF

Sketches OF the Insurgent Leader and OF
the American Admiral.
1t is perhaps fortunate for the fame of
Admiral Benham that he was placed III
command of our fleet at Rio and given
an opportunity to distinguish himself
before his retirement from the navy for
age in April next, for although Admiral
Benham has been ~honorably identified
with the navy for nearly halt a century
it is Il long time since he has figured
prominently in the public eye.
Admiral A. E. K. Benhaln was born i'll
New York April 10, 1882. and appointed
m%ldshipman in the navy Nov. "a, 1S47.
He was graduated from the Naval acade'
my in 1853 and until the civil war broke
out served in the Pacific. He made
creditable record in the war, became
lieutenant in 1850 and lieutenant com
mander in 1862. In 1857 he was promot
ed to the rank of commander, became
captain in 1875, and in 1885 was made
commodore and put in command of Mare
Island navy yard. In 1890 he was pro
noted to the rank of rear admiral.

Pictures With Paper and Paste.

Marian is a little girl who likes to
make pictures. Sometimes she makes
them with a pencil, and sometimes she
makes them by sewing with bright col
ored zephyrs on dainty white cards.
Mamma gave her a package Of these
pretty colored circles on her birthday,
and ever since then she has been very
happy in working with them.
Mamma often makes stories for the
pictures, and here is one Of them:

He Was Cared For by Mrs.. Davis. Who Re-
Gently Sued His Executors.
The suit of Mrs. Mary Q. Davis against
the executors Of the e,tate Of the late
Walt Whitman. which was recently tried
OF Camden, N. j., revealed some inter-
esting particulars concerning the last
days Of the Good Gray Poet" Mrs.
Davis sued for alleged services and the
maintenance OF the poet for several years
preceding his death.
The testimony in her behalf showed
that Whitman, suffering from paralysis.
went from Washington to Camden i'll
1885 and was living alone in his modest
little cottage, 1923 Mickle street, Cam
den, when Mrs. Davis became his house
keeper. She attended him from 1885 till
he died, and by her testimony proved
that she spent thousands Of dollars run
ming the house and providing for all hns
wants. Many months, particularly in
1883. he was confined to his bed. and his
