Ex-senator Kellogg, Of Louisiana,
who knows all about recent history of
public affairs, says that when John r.
French was sergeant at arms Of the
senate, during the closing hours of
Session Of congress he prepared an
elaborate lunch in his private office for
the convenience of the senators who
were much fatigued by the long night
session. Among those who came in
were Jack Chandler, Matt Carpenter,
"rare old McCreary," Roscoe Conl1ling
and dozen others, to whom glass of
wine was not at all disagrceable. After
the senators had been helping them
selves to this lunch for an hour or so,
Chandler suddenly remarked to French:
1.-THE president is in his room, and |
don't believe he has had anything to
eat tonight. How would it do to ask
him in hcre?" Mr.. French said he would
hardly dare to ask the president to be
his guest, although he would very
much like to send him lunch. ''Oh,
pshav:." said old Zach; ego ask him in;
he will come" SO the sergeant-at-
arms went to the presidents room and
invited him to step in and have little
lunch. Chandler met Grant at the door
and escorted him into the room. The
invitation to the president included
the members of the cabinet, all OF
whom came in. The last to come was
Marshall Jewell. Jewell was thirsty
and first wanted q glass of water, SO he
stepped up to the water tank which
stood near the marble wash basin, and
picking up a glass he found there, sud
denly exclaimed: "Therc's been whisky
In this glass; and proceeded to rinse II
again and again, and then, as he
Turned the ice-cold water into it, re
marked: Il hate whisky, and NIGH
also say that | hate any man wht
drinks it,
Grant had drunk from that glass, ant
this may be one of the incidents which
gradually formed in President Grant:
mind prejudice against Gen
Jewell, the outcome of which wa
bis peremptory dismissal from
the cabinet. The postmaster gen
eral had what most men would
regard as profound reason an,
right to say what he did in regard t,
the use of Intoxicating liquor; for, a,
though he never ,ed it himself in an,
form, it was the cause of great domes
tic sorrow and misfortune to him, a
those familiar with the history of tn
household we'll know.

AN EXPENSIVE EVIL.
That Is as Apt Name for Bad Roads as
Could Be Found.

Good roads, like charity, should be-
gin at home. People everywhere are
beginning to realize that good roads
have a cash value. Properly construct

bly, to the pleasure of the people but
to their profit as we'll
The farmers who have for many
years been organizing for the purpose
of securing better and cheaper railroad
TRANSPORTATION for their marke tai BILE
products, are now becoming awake to
the fact that great reform is needed
right at home. An unnecessary and
very expensive evil has been permitted
to exist at their very doors. They
have been wasting much valuable time
and horsetlesh in getting products to
market. They have learned that it
costs more to haul load to the sta
ton a few miles away than it does to
have it transported from the station to
the PARKWAY seaboards.
This along the line of profit In the
way Of pleasure they have suffered an
immeasura BILE loss. Because of poor
roads they have been more or less iso-
lated from the world and deprived OF
the priceless advantages that come
from association. The farmers sons,
unable to readily get to and from the
villages, have gone to the villages and
| cities to remain. So have many Of
| the daughters. The lack of society
has been blight upon rural
| life, robbing it of the flower OF its
youth. The same would be true Of
cities to great degree if there were
no good means of getting about.
The farmers are going to do better
and the merchants in all the country
towns will, if they are at all wise
| gladly do their share towards making
good roads.
The good roads town catches tn,

A good road is a thing of beauty ant

MAN OF MANY WORDS
President TrainOr of A. P. A.
Delivers His Address.
Denounces the Injustice of the
Suffrage Laws.
A JESUITICAL HOTBED.
NatiOnalCapitalR ROundlyAbused
for Its Catholicism.
He Recommends Making the
Order World Wide.

MILWAUKEE,, May 9.-President Trainor
of the supreme body of the American
Protective association today delivered an
address of between $4,000 and 10000
words, in which he made suggestions and
recommendations, covering, practically,
every leading question of the day.
He denounced the laws which accept
the vote of the ignorant foreigner who is
unable to read or write the Eng
lish language and reject the votes
of the intelligent women who are
directly interested in the welfare of the
nation and who have proven their ability
to manage public affairs
He declared that the city of Washing
ton ''is perennial hotbed of Jesuitical
| lobbyists wlo carry their points by bull
doing and boycotting senators and
representatives." He strongly urged the
establishment of a national headquarters
of the A. p a. and a national
organ at the national capital with earn
est officials chosen from the active and
prominent reK resentatives of the order
! from the various states of the union.
| President Trainor then declared him
self to be in hearty accord with the
movement to extend the A P. A. to every
| civilized country on the globe.
| In regard to political action, he recon-
meuded the effort to raise the standard
! of politics by educating the masses on
the lines of patriotism laid down by the
| constitution and declaration Of principles
of the A. P. A. and advised the support
| of a new political party which will en-
dorse the leading principles of the order,
or the support of any national party
which will endorse the leading princ-
! pies of the order and accept the doctrines
| of the A. P. A.
President Trainor said the order had
been extended to every state of
the Union except Mississippi, in
which state there is as yet no
organization. The southerners at first
regarded the A. P. A. as 4 great carpet
bag institution, but after they had stud
led its principles they embraced the or
| der with the utmost confidence.
He believes that the A. P. A will as
sist materially in uniting the north and
south. The increase in membership dur
! ing his past two terms as
president has been five or
six times greater than the
increase in the north. The increase in
! the east and New England during the
past year has been greater than the in
crease in mem mbership in any other sec
| tion of the country.
The order has decreased in member
| ship in one or two states, but its influ-
ence is just as strong He pronounced
the city of New Orleans a hotbed of
Romanism, similar to Washington. He
declared that the national political par
ties had violated their pledges to the peo-
pie in many cases, and intimated that
they cannot be trusted unless they en-
dorse the fundamental principles of the
A. P. A.
He favored the suspension of immi
grafton until the country had assimilated
the foreigners which are now in it, and
also favored the taxation of church prop

superior. and have always wanted to
fight him, but he, would fight nowhere
else than London.

must come off, however, in September,
as my time is valuable. do not think
the Fltzslmmons fight can be pulled of,
and don't propose to be chased over
the country without show of meeting
him.

AN OLD STORY CLOSED.
The Estate of Robert Ray Hamilton Has
Last Been Settled.


New YORK, May 9.-The report of
George P Webster, who was appointed
appraiser of the estate of the late Robert
Ray Hamilton for the purpose of fixing
the value of the estate with view to
having the tax fixed in accordance with
the law, has been made to the surrogate.
He finds the gross value of the estate
$272, ,4I2.
Under the will of Mr. Hamilton, he
provided for the payment of an annuity
of $1,000 to the child of Beatrice Ray,
which had been foisted on him by Eva
Mann Hamilton. The child is put down
as a stranger in the documents, and
the cash value of her annuity is placed
at $16,893.
Mr. Hamiltnn died on August %, 1890,
but the reason his estate has not been
settled up before is Nn account of the
claims made by Prangeline l. Mann,
who claimed to bR his widow, and the
litigations which she instituted to re-
cover dover in his property.
These have all been settled and dI
posed of and the estate will be settled l..
the near future.

The Fans VIII Have an Abundance of
Games to Attend.
The base ball game at Athletic park
Saturday between Manager Notes team
and the Topeka Athletic club will be
worth seeing. 1t will be the first ap
pearance of Manager Notes men and
Topeka people are anxious to
see what kind of game they
will play. The Athletic club
is fortunate in having such amateur
players as Charley McCabe and Jake
Mohler, the former being captain of the
team. The T. A. A. is especially favored
with strength in its battery.
On the following Monday Manager
Notes professionals will play against
the "Topeka Locals" the colored team
that has heretofore had much its own
way in local contests. Some of the
swiftest amateur ball players in town
are of this complexion, and the Locals
include them all.
Tomorrow the Topeka Y. NJ. G.. A. is
booked to play at Athletic park against
the league team.

Cultivate the habit of breathing
through the nose and taking deep
breaths. If this habit was universal,
there is little doubt that pulmonary af-
fections would be decreased one-half.
An English physician calls attention to
this fact, that deep and forced respira-
tions will keep the entire body in a glow
in the coldest weather, no matter how
thinly one may be clad. He was him
self half frozen to death one night and
began taking deep breaths and keep
ing the air in his lungs as long as pos
sible. The result was that he was
thoroughly comfortable III few min
utes. The deep respirations, he says,
stimulate the blood currents by direct
muscular exertion, and cause the en-
tire system to become pervaded with
the rapidly generated heat.
