DANIEL X. PEARSON.
A Chicago Man Known Everywhere as
Famous PhilanthrOpist.

Distinguished as philanthrOpist,
far-sighted as a man of business and
the possessor OF great wealth is Daniel
K. Pearson, one of the men who have
made Chicago what it is. Genial in
temperament, mirthful in disposition,
with soft heart and an active brain,
he is loved and respected by all who
know him. D. X. Pearson has always
made money and has always been gen.
erous with it. He holds that to know
how to make money is one science; to
know what to do with it when acquired
is still another. He has mastered both.
He has made millions and he has given
away great sums. Many an educa-

In tho Navy.

The warrant officers Of the navy are
the bOatswains, gunners, carpenters,
sailmakers and mates, about one hun
dred and seventy-fve in all. The boat
SWANS are stationed mostly on the re-
ceiving ships and training ships and at
various shore stations; the gunners do
some service of the same sort, and are
sometimes assigned as inspectors of
ordnance; the carpenters are found at
the navy yards, public and private, on
the training ships, and at sea; the sail
makers are nearly all ashore, and the
mates are mostly on receiving ships or
on special duty on the smallest vessels.
There have been no appointments to
this corps for many years. The war
rant officers have a mess of their own,
and it used to be shared by the cadet
midshipmen.

ington Tutor of Foreigners.
In the national capital is a private
tutor of English to foreigners who
trains them in the idioms of pronuncia-
ton with this chain of similarly spelled
words: Though the tough cough and
hiccough plough me through" The re-
suit is humorous, says the Washington
Post, as these samples of the efforts of
the pupils will show:
Tho the to co and hicco plo me thro.
Thuf the tut cuff and hiccuf pluf me

when he began to study English and
learned that ague was pronounced as
two syllables and plague as one, should
have wished that half the English had
the one disease and the other half the
other.

Easier Than arithmetic.

1t is easier to remember things usu-
ally if you know what they mean. A
little boy could never remember even
about how long a cubit is till his father
told him the word was cubitus in Latin,
which means an elbow, and that the
measure called cubit was the distance
from a mans elbow to the end of his
middle finger. And how much is
fathom?" asked the little boy. oh,
fathom comes from the two words, fat,
which means, in the Aryan language,
to extend, and hon. man. A faith
ON is the length of man extended;
that is, when his arms are stretched
out on each side from the shoulders,
from tip to tip of his fingers. The foot
is an English word, and means just the
length of the foot of full-grown man."

REARDON'S REQ.
Hearing at the State House
This Morning.

At the State House this morning Gov.
Brown gave a hearing to the counsel OF
Michael Reardon who is wanted by the
Governor of Connecticut for burglary
and assault with attempt to
commit rape in North Stonington dur
ing last month. Lawyers Vincent OF
Providence and Dennison of Westerly,
represented Reardon; Lawyer Craft OF
Westerly represented the State OF Con-,
necticut, and Assistant Attorney General
Henry j. Dubois advised His Excelcncy.
Mr.. Vincent advanced several objections
to the granting of Governor Morris re-
quisition, the principal one being that the
afiidavits did not state in SO many words
that Reardon was fugitive from justice.
This was overruled by the Governor, who
had the certificate of Attorney General
Dubois that the papers were in good form,
and he decided TO grant the requisition.
Mr.. Vincent then appealed for stay OF
proceedings TO permit him to get writ OF
habeas corpus before Sheriff Greene Of
Connecticut carried Rearuon of. Rear
don's case is for trial in the Westerly
court at o'clock this afternoon, and in
order that the euds OF justice might not
be defeated by the escape OF the prisoner,
Governor Brown required MIR. Vincent
to agree to continuance Of the case for n
week. This agreement having been given,
the Governor will not sign the papers un-
Gil o'clock Monday, thus giving
the prisoners counsel ample opportunity
to take habeas corpus proceedings. BY a
continuance of the case he will bc held
under arrest until the requisition is
granted.
Reardon IL charged with stealing cer-
tain articles OF clothing from benjamin
Il. Tillinghast and attempting to rape the
wife of said Tillinghast.
