Wherever Gen. Gordon has delivered his

Metzerott Hall Monday night. it has met
with an enthusiastic reception. scarcely
less pronounced than that accorded il by
the immense audience which heard 1t at
Cor yer ton Hall in this city. The following
extract from the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat shows the impression made by Cen
Gordon in that city: The power to move a

and laughter. to thrill it with emotion, to
make il hang reathlessly upon the lips of
the speaker. and then, one man. to rise
In wild acclaim, is given TO but few men.

heart was exhibited last night by Gen. j.

for $1.5O.

Samuel H. Smith, a man who says ne has
White House yesterday and wanted to
see President Cleveland, as he thought the
President knew of some job he could get.
When he reached the White House he met
one of the ushers, and to him he related
the story of his coming here. He left his
day morning, and cane here. Most of
the way he walked and then he met a
farmer who was kind enough to let him
ride. That night he slept in a stable. so he
said, and IS morning, without having any
breakfast, he went to the White House.
He had been told by some one that the
President would not get him a situation,
but still he believed he could get some as
sistance from him, and SO he presented a
note, as follows:
Hon. Mr.. President
Dear Sir: Your kindness will please to
let your humble servant have 81 80 to get
something to eat and go home. Yours, very
respectfully, and most humble servant.
SAMUEL II. SMITH"
The Maryland guest was informed that
the President could not see him then, and
he was directed to police headquarters,
where he saw Sanitary officer Frank.
To this official he related sad story of
want and poverty, and said he had made an
effort to get work at several places, but
without success.
Sanitary Officer Frank gave him a good
dinner and sent him part the way home on
an afternoon train. Laurel being the nearest
station to his home. He said he could
walk the ten or twelve miles across the
country to his home.

JUDGE MILLER'S TERM.
1t Will Expire on the 10th of Next
May.


The term Of Judge Miller of the Police
Court VIII expire on the 10th day of May,
and while the judge has not made any for
mai application for reappointment his
friends confidently believe the President
will choose him as his own successor.
Before the expiration of his term it is
thought several representatives of the
District democracy will make an effort to
capture the prize, but thus far it is not
known that any formal application has
been made for the place The name of
Justice Samuel c. Mills has been men,
TONED in connection with the position and
1t is said that his friends will make an
earnest fight for him. Judge Miller's name
has been mentioned in connection with the
District attorneys office, a number OF
democrats having spoken of him as the
successor of Mr.. Birney In event Of the
judges appointment to this position the
place he now fills would be open to the
held and number of applicants would,
no doubt, enter the contest. But at pres
ent there is feeling among the legal
lights that the reappointment of Judge
Miller will be made and they base their
assertion upon the judges record during
the six years he has served the District
as judge. ...1
Judge Miller was appointed by Presi-
