Ex-Governor Lee has been the active
president since its organization, met here
this week to wind up the affairs OF that
corporation, in SO far as their official action
could.
General Lee was present. and rendered
his resignation as president Of the com
pany, and the same was accepted.
The General was led to take this action
for the reason that this was the final
meeting of the board, that his services
were no longer needed, because he had
concluded his labors with the company
and because there is pending before the
United States District Court. at Harris
onburg, Va, n motion for the appoint
ment Of a receiver for the company
which will be heard on next Saturday, and
when II IS expected Judge Paul will name
the receiver.
Ex-Governor Lee, q will be remember

PRESENTED AT COURT.

Something About the Honor Conferred
Upon MIR. Bayards Private Secretary.
The correspondent who went to the
trouble and expense of cabling the dis
patch from London to the American pa
pers about the extraordinary diplomacy
required to secure the presentation to
the queen of Lloyd Griscom of Philadel-
phia, Mr.. Bayard's private secretary, is
evidently not very well acquainted at
the American embassy. According to
the dispatch, Mr.. Griscom's position is
not of the official kind that entities him
to presentation as matter Of course,
and Mr.. Bayard was only able to arrange
it by introducing the young man to Lord
Rosebery and having him dine with his
lordship, who then benignantly arranged
for the private secretary's presentation
at some drawing room in the near fu-
ture.
Inquiry at the American embassy
would have informed the enterprising
correspondent that Mr.. Griscom was en-
titled to presentation as member of our
ambassadors official family, and that as
matter of fact he had been presented
last May without the necessity for re-
sorting to any official circumlocution.
His predecessors in the position of secre-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-05-19

tary have always been presented as q
matter of course, and it is quite possible
that some of them would have been glad
to escape the fuss and feathers attendant
upon that rather dismal ceremony.
But Mr.. Griscom would probably have
found presentation easy enough for him
if he had held no official position at all.
Most people do for whom an embassa-
dor is willing to vouch, and even with
out the advantage of personal acquaint-
ance Mr.. Bayard would probably have
been quite willing to indorse Mr.. Girls
com, who is descended from two famous
Philadelphia families and whose fathers
name is written at the very top of the
Quaker City's roll of enterprising citi-
zens.
Clement A. Griscom. president of the
International Navigation company and
founder of the American line of ocean
steamers, is the young secretary's IA
Their, and his mothers maiden name was
Frances Candy Biddle. No higher rec
ommendation than that furnished by
such family names as these could be
asked by an American ambassador even
at such an exclusive and funereal court
as that of st. James.

CODONEL LAWLER. 1888, ana prOml-
nent members of the order from all
parts Of the country were present to as
sist at the ceremonies and offer their
congratulations. He will have many
friends at the next national encamp-
ment, which meets in Pittsburg during
the week beginning Sept. 10 next, and
not a few Of them are confident of his
election to the highest dignity in the or
ganiZation.
Colonel Lawler served throughout the
war with the famous Nineteenth regi-
ment of Illinois volunteers and gained an
honorable record as soldier. He was in
all the battles in which his regiment took
part and was mustered out as first SER
geant with the brevet of captain. His
title of colonel came to him through his
connection with the national guard, in
which he served for dozen years or
more. After the war he went to work
for his father-in-law, who was miller,
and was driving one Of the mill teams
when he was elected and appointed post
master of Rockford
The secret of the unusual procedure of
electing a postmaster lay IN the fact that
there was such scramble for the office
that no one seemed able to decide who
should have it, and it was decided to
leave the matter to a popular vote. Colo
mel Lawler won by large majority and
held the Office for two terms prior to
Cleveland's first administration, when
he vacated it in favor of a Democrat,
only to be reappointed by President Har-
rison without the formality of petition
and without opposition. He took to poll
tics naturally and soon achieved promi-
nence in his party. He was a close friend
of General John A. Logan, whom he
greatly admired and closely resembles.
Colonel Lawler was born in England of
Irish parents so years ago and has lived
in Rockford since he was 10 years old.

acreage of 424, 422, including upward of
1900 acres cane land with very large
proportion of good grazing land, the
rental per acre averages less than two
cents, and for the cane land alone, a
fraction over one dollar per acre. These
comprise some of the choicest lands in
the country.

A General Purpose Cow.

A good many farmers are coming
to believe that there is a general pur-
pose farm cow, in spite Of al that
has been said to the contrary. BY a
general purpose cow is meant. OF
course one which is good Tor butter
and milk, and which is sufficiently
we'll bred TO impress all her good
characteristics on her progeny. She
may he Of any one Of several breeds,
but it is great mistake to suppose
that she raw be Of no breed at all,
for then she would not possess this
last and most desirable quality This
ideal farm cow should have a large
frame so that her male calves should
he valuable beeves She should be
well pedgreed, so that the hei er
calves would have a promise to be-
CO as good mixers and butter
makers as herself, She should be
handled for dairy purposes fro II the
time she drops her first calf, so as to
promote the tendency toward long
period Of milking There are many
farms upo1 which such a cow will
prove OF greater value than one
handled especially for milk or butter.

Poets who Publish Their Poems.

1-Octs VINO IuDlish Ahoh ooA"o'
The pathos or really tear-starting
part of the copyright records relates
TO poetry. There are more books OF
poems in the National Library than
the most careful and diligent student
of American literature can imagine,
and the sad thing about it is that by all
Odds the greatest number OF these
books are published by the authors
themselves. In every other class OF
literature the copyrighted publications
are mostly by large publishing houses,
and the writer's appear to have more
or less the support of the reading pub
lie; but the poor poet, who appears to
be the most persistent of all producers,
appears to have to feed upon his own
fancles and pay his own bills. Be the
publishers as discriminating as they
may, the copyright law has no favor
ties, and permits all who produce to
claim the right of exclusive publica-
ton, and in the Congressional Library
the volumes of the poetasters stand
proudly by the side of the works of
genius. Thousands of volumes of
Poems, published by the author,
stand upon the shelves, and it is rev.
citation how many men and women,
who would not attempt to write in
prose, think that their wild fancies in
regular rhyme and stilted meter are
worth preserving in print for posterity.
In this class is found the very poorest
example of literary effort The num-
Der of productions of truly good poetry
in this country is, however, increasing
with considerable rapidity.-Washing
