Is 90 years younger than he and n second
wife. Second wives, especially those who
are 90 years younger than their husbands,
usually WELD n pretty potent influence.
But Mrs. Waite feels aggrieved ut the Inn
putations cast upon her as n meddlcr in
state affairs and declares such aspcrsions
arise from political hostility. She is n lit
tie bit of a woman, n fragile bundle OF
nerves and energy, with gray eyes and
brown hair. She Is quite rs unassuming
as her husband. The child of this couple,
Master Frank Waite, Is n fcrocious Popu
list Of 4. He talks politics like a member
of the Legislature and gravely informed me
that the day before he had converted lit
tic girl he knew TO Populist theories.
Opinion of Mrs. Lease.
Governor Waite has just returned from
"a trip through Kansas, where he has made
speeches with Mistress Mary Ann Lease. a
lady of whose attachments and political
knowledge he thinks highly. She is n
remarkable woman in many ways" no
said to me Her memory's amazing.
She has facts and statistics Mt her tongues
tip, and she will quote ut great length
from famous speeches word for word. She
has made up her differences with Governor
Lcwelling, and everything is running
smoothly now in Kansas. Tho Populist
party will carry that state and possibly

will You coalesce with the Prohibition

No; there is no intention of combining
with any party We shall keep in the mid
die of the road. 1t would be n bad policy
to fuse with another party. There are

example, who would BIO Populists, but
never Prohibitionlsts."
What is the fundamental principle of
the Populist partyt"
Equal rights for oil and special privi-
leges for nono-in other words the funda-
mental principle of the golden rule"

NEW YORK, July 3i.-Mr. George w.
Smalley, who has won distinction As the
London correspondents Of tho New York
Tribune, contributes 90 tbc current num-
Der Of Hnrpcr's Monthly tho first Of n So
rics of papers which he calls Chapters
In Journalism, /" nnd In which he expects
to tell In q reminiscent way some Of the
exciting nnd romantic exploit. Of journal
istic enterprises with which he hs- been
Associated. Aside from Hudson's ''Hie-
tory OF Journalism" Plrton's life Of
Horace Grceley' and some brief magazine
articles that have appeared ut different
times, almost nothing has been written
which could let the public into the mys-
teries Of journalistic service. of the get
ting Of great pieces of exclusive news and
of the personality of some Of the ablesf
men who have made modern newspapers
what they are. Therefore Mr.. Smalley's
chapters ought TO DO Rad with interest,
especially In view of the fact that he has
had personal part in many Of the exciting
events of the world since the days OF the
beginning Of the antislaycry agitation
Mr.. Smallcy's career, as well as that Of
q good many other journalists who began
with him, Is of itself n suf.icien. proof
that the rewards of journalism are high,

encc and high pecuniAry emolGments-
Smalley was u Boston man and was grad
uated from Yale college In n class which
contained many youths who Afterward
were destined to become famous Two
of its members were ut one time embassa-
doris from the United States to European
courts-Andrew ID. White and Wayne
Macveagh. Others have served in the
United States senate OF as governors or
have obtained very high professional dis
tinction.
After Smnlley's graduation he returned
to Boston, and he was one OF that group
of young men who acted rs a bCdygunrd
lips life was threatened by n mob. Small
ley's services at that time undoubtedly
prevented the assassination Of Mr.. Phil
lips. In order the moro surely TO protect
the orator Smalley dwelt for a time In
Mr.. Phillips house, and IL Is very likely
that then he became acquainted with Mr..
Phillips adopted daughter, whom he aft
erward married In 1861 Smalley became
one of that group OF war correspondents
nearly all of whom were TO win great dis
tincti6.n. and many of whom have since
then had very successful careers. He con-
tinued, as most of them did, not in service
as n war correspondents, although nc got
to Europe too late to describe the AustrO-
Prussian war, but was there in full time
to make arrangements for the reporting
of the Franco-Gcrman war, which was
done in such manner as to give his news

Mr. Whitclaw Reid. He made his first
fame in his descriptions Of some Of the
battles that took plaC, in the west. and
his account Of the hattie OF Pittshurg
Landing was then and has ever since been
regarded as n model OF accurate, graphic
reporting Of n gigantic struggle. Mr.. Reid
was promoted steadily from the Washing
ton correspondent Of The Tribune until he
became the editor. and IL now the chief
owner, and has served the country as min
lister to France, and was the candidate Of

quite as much as have. But he was
man and stronger to bear. His life work lay
before him, and in doing his duty he found
q solace. In the busy world, he found
thousand things to divert him from his
belief in my perady. But what can the
woman do to find rest? II she is blessed by
being poor, she may find relief In work, and
forget the suffering heart In providing for the
needs OF herself OF others; but where there Is
no such necessity, the mind broods on its
own anguish till it becomes morbid, and the
grave loses Its horrors In contemplation of
the relief 1t will bring. But I am ungrateful,
and selfish, fear. Heaven gave you to me,
my darling. You have held me to life, and to
you Its every thought should be devoted"
Mrs. Morton kissed Dora, and was about
to continue her sad monologue, when she
was changed from her purpose by hearing
loud breathing and the fall Of quick, ap-
preaching step. The next instant, Mile Ber-
trand burst into the room, without any pre-
liminary knock, and throwing herself on her
knees between the mother and daughter, she
cried out In French. for she was too much
excited to trust her English:
ooh, thank God, madame! Thank the
angels, ma ohere Dora! He will live! He
will liyeP
Dora sat quickly up. threw her arms about
the woman's neck and cried:
"Tell me again M'llel Do not deceive me?"
at is true! His reason has returned, and
his first words were: where is Dora-Miss
Morton; is she safep"
These magic words had the effect OF the
prophets hand on the desert rock. What
anguish could not affect, Joy had accomp-
lshed. Up from her heart rolled the fountain
OF tears, and they fell with her kisses on the
face Of the messenger who had brought her
the glad hdings.

wife, Pelham remained for four days. But
during that time he was kept busy writing
letters and reading papers that came from
all over the country.
Lord Pelham was still in bed, on the fourth
morning, when Mike came into his room in
great haste, and with his index finger fixed
on column Of the paper held in the other
hand, he cried out with an oath, that did not
sound like profanity:
"He's har, Capt.
"Who2" demanded Pelham, and he leaped
out of bed and seized the paper.
"Why; Commodore West; the man we've
been waiting for! Now maybe, by the gods,
we won't have fun" shouted Mike, as he per-
formed a war dance about the room.
