resided, engaged in the active practice
Of his profession. He at once took AN
active part in Republican politics, serv-
ing as a member of the state central
committee in 1888 and for two years as
the president of the State League of Re-
publican Clubs. He is q good campaign
orator and is much in demand on the
stump. His appointment holds good un-
til the Michigan legislature meets in
January, when he will probably be a
candidate to succeed himself.
During the national convention of 1888
in Chicago Mr.. Patton was one of q
coterie of Yale men who discussed the
situation at the Chicago club. Wolcott
of Colorado was another and Higgins of
Delaware the third. Wolcott was then
q candidate for the senate, while Hig-
gins had received the complimentary
Republican vote for the senate in q solid
Democratic state. Wolcott had never
met Higgins, and so one night at the
dinner table MI. Patton introduced
them. They did not meet again until
they shook hands as senators at Wash
ington. Now Mr.. Patton, by q singular
political coincidence, has Joined them at
Washington as O senator.

Gray Gables and Its Surroundings Have
Been Greatly Improved.
Gray Gables, President Cleveland's
summer home at Buzzard's Bay, has
been considerably altered in appearance
since the presidents family left there
last September. An addition containing
practically six new roomsa and a hallway
has been made to the house, which looks
more imposing than it used to, and plate
glass windows have been substituted for
the old fashioned ones that formerly pre-
vailed. The piazzas have been enlarged
to twice their original depth, and the
number of new gables will make the
pretty name Gray Gables more appro-
pirate than ever when time and weather
shall have stained the new shingles to
match those on the older part of the
house.
On the westerly side of the house a
new entrance has been made, and a hall
runs through to the parlor, with rooms
on each side. AT the right, ON entering,
is the new private Office of the presi-
dent, whose windows afford a full view
of the approaches to the grounds. The

Gen. GOurkO's Career.

Gen. GOurkO's Career.
Gen. Gourko is not very old-he Is only
sixty-five having been born in 1928. He is
a thorough soldier. He was but thirty y-nine
years of age when he rose to the rank OF
major general. That was in 1867, and in
1873 followed his promotion to a brigadier-
ship in the imperial guard. Three years
later he was made commander Of a division
in the same elite corps.
At the outbreak of the Turkish war in
1877 he was sent to lead the advance guard
of the Russian army of the Danube. He
pushed on SO rapidly to Tfrnova July y and
over the Balkans to the Tundja valley.
within two days march Of Adrianople. as
to make him famous. The comparative slow
ness, however. of the army following in his
wake made his efforts and those Of his men
bootless. He had to retreat before a large
corps of Turks under Suleiman Pacha's
command. and took stand in the wild
until the news of his appointment as adju-
tant general and the order to return to St
Petersburg and mobilize his guard corps
division reached him.
After Plevna had surrendered Gourko was
made commander of large corps of in
fantry. and with them he crossed. under
the most trying circumstances and through
binding snow storms and avalanches, the
Balkans, arriving on January 4, 1878, al
Sofia. Then he hurried on to Philippopolis
and dispersed the army Of Suleiman Pacha
accomplishing the task on January 16 and
IL. In Adrianople he finally Joined the Rus.
sian main army, and with them he marched
on to within earshot Of Constantinople
After the war he was made a general ol
cavalry and adjutant general of the EN-.
peror's chief general STAFF
He loved war and wars alarms. He was
never happier than when the drum was
beating and the bugle sounding as the pre-
His enemies have asserted that he Is the
least popular OF the Russian generals, but
this Is not strictly correct. He insisted upon
a rigid discipline and nothing more. He Is
almost as reticent as our Gen. Grant
when Solovien was unsuccessful in his
attempt to assassinate Alexander IL the
car picked out Gourko for a post that
made him the guardian Of his masters life
The soldier at once declared the capital in
state or siege and took the utmost pre-
cautions against nihiistic conspirators. Blu,
unfortunately for the soldier the conspira.
tors were too clever for him, and during the
winter two attempts were made on the life
of the car. Quite incensed, the emperor
banished his guardian, banished him to 81.
IBERIA, but relented and kept him under
police surveillance on his (Gourko's) owu
estates. There ne stayed for years, morose
and sullen, and this exile had a remarkable
effect on the man. He was never seen to
smile again. When he came forth to active
life once more he was a changed man. A
stern disciplnarian before, he was ruthless
now. His ruthlessness was seen in his
treatment OF the Poles 1t was the presen,
emperor who recalled him, and he sent him
in 1885 as governor general to Warsaw. 1t
became saying in Warsaw that there had
never been representative Of the czar
there so inhumanly severe toward all those
who showed even the faintest tinge of lib
eraiism in their political aspirations.
