GRESHAM NO MORE
SECRETARY OF STATE PASSES
AWAY
AT lis THIS MORNING
His Attack of PleuriSy Leads 10 the
Filling of His Left Lung With Fluid
and Hope Was Abandoned-Th
Story Of His Eventful and Dis
tinguished Career

Washington. May 2S.-Secretary of
State Gresham died at 1:15 this morn
ing Of pleurisy His left lung filled
with fluid Sunday and his physicians
gave him up Monday afternoon.
Walter Quinton Gresham was born
March II, 1882, on a farm near Lanes
vile, Harrison county, Ind. When ,
years of age his father, the sheriff Of
the county, was killed while attempt
ing an arrest. The widow with her
family Of six children struggled along.
The future cabinet minister did his
share of the work. in the summer
working on the farm, while in winter
he attended the district school. In
this way he passed eighteen years, his
mother managing to give him one year
at the seminary at Corydon. Then he
was employed by the county auditor at
COrydon with a salary of So a month
and board, and saving his money so
earned spent a year at the state uni
yersity at Bloomington. He returned
to Corydon and worked with the
county clerk at 81 a day, passing his
leisure hours studying law. After
three years of such work Gresham was
admitted to practice. The first repub
lican campaign found him in law of
flee. He Joined the party, took up the
anti-Slayery cause, and was one of five
men in the county who took the
stump. In 1860 he was elected to the
legisla ture. Gresham had organized a
company Of home guards and led them
into the service being first captain and
then lieutenant cOlCrel. He became
colonel of the Fifty-third Indiana in
December, 1861, and joined General
Grant at Savannah. He was made
brigadier general for good work before
Nicksburg. When before Atlanta, July
20, 1864, Gen. Gresham was disabled,
Il minie-baH breaking his leg below the
knee as he was leading a charge. This
was the last of his service. The next
year he resumed the practice of law at
New Albany with Gen. John NJ. Butler.
He was the republican candidate for
congress in 1866 and in 1855, but was
defeated. When Gen. Grant was
elected president Gresham was offered
the collectorship at New Orleans aid
the district attorneyship. but declined.
He recommended Judge Slaughter for
the United States judgesllip, but Grant
sent GreshamS name to the senate
without asking the judge, and the
nomination was confirmed. There .ras
trouble a. once, Gresham insisting he
would not accept, but Slaughter turned
in for him and insisted on it. For
twelve years he served, not one de
ciSi0n being reversed by the supreme
court. He was called to Arthur's cab
met as pOstmastei. general and then
as secretary of the treasury, leaving
the latter to succeed Judge DrummOnd
on the circuit bench. Judge Gresham
married in 1858 Miss Matilda Nc
Grain, daughter of farmer living near
COrydon. They had son and a
daughter.

THE GOOD POINTS OF MATING
1t is Cool and inexpensive, and Here's
a Way for Keeping it Clean

For the summer there is no better
floor covering than mating. 1t is
easily kept clean and is fresh and neat
in appearance. When the floor is Gov
ered with mating, of course rugs are
a necessity, but this does not neces-
sarily mean great expense, for the
Japanese rugs, which may be bought
from 50 up, are, many of them, as
rich in coloring as if they were Per-
sian.
In taking care of mating it is not
well to wash it often. When it does
need frightening up boil together for
one hour two quarts of bran and four
Of water. Strain this, pressing all
moisture out of the bran. Add two
quarts of cold water and two ia BILE
spoonfuls of salt to the mixture. Wash
the mating thoroughly with this
strained mixture and rub dry with a
clean cloth. The result is sure to be
gratifying.

A MATTER OF TASTE.
But 1t Caused Strained Relations il
the Blanque Household for a Time

Young Mrs. Blanque came running
down to meet her husband on his re-
turn from the office.
ooh, Algy, dear, did you succeed in
making that deal?" she cried.
Indeed l did," was the reply, land
very clever stroke it was. That man
said

LAST SALUTE AT APPOMATTOX.

There occurred Il curious incident Of
Of which 10 mention is made in the

and soon there was inceSSant popping.
The balls went up into the air almost
straight until the force Of the dis
charge was spent and then dropped
down. To this day the field of SUI

and so little has AppOma ttoX been Wis

HUNGRY JOE"
The Notorious Bunco Operator Reap
pears in His Old Time HauntS.

A tall, austere, clerical appearing
gentleman dressed in black garments
Of ministerial cut walked UP Broad
way yesterday afternoon, says the
New York Herald, and to several old
timers in the 'TenderIoin" sporting
world his appearance created some
thing Of a sensation.
He was identified before he had
walked a dozen blocks as Joseph C.
Howard, the Hungry Joe" of the
palmy days of the ''Tenderloin." He
wore a long frOck coat, dark trousers.
a silk hat with the gloss Of newneSs,
a high standing collar and black
cravat, and Oh his hands We're a pair
of tight fitting black kid gloves.
1t is many years since the Tender
loin' district has been hOnOred by the
spectacle of Hungry joe taking a
constitutional along Broadway. He
disappeared from the world Of country
men and bunco games seven years
ago, when in Baltimore he pleaded
guilty Of swindling William G. Ban
semer out of $1,000 He did not cover
his tracks with his old time experiences
Oh that occasion, and was arrested,
identified, and, seeing no way of get
ting out of the Scrape, he surrendered,
and was sentenced to nine years in the
penitentiary. Taking into considera-
tion the good time" he would earn,
he has evidently just been liberated.
Hungry Joe" first came into promi-
nence when Inspector Williams was in
command of the ''Tenderloin'' district.
One of his most successful games was
that played on Oscar Wilde, when that
aesthetic person first visited this cOun-
try. He sWindled the disciple of the
sunfoWer and the lily out of $1,000,
but Inspector Williams, to whom
Wilde appealed, took a hand in the
game, and, concerning Hungry Joe"
made him return the money.
Shortly after he made an unSuccess-
full attempt TO bUnco a brother Of In
spector Williams, who was visiting
him, and but for the intervention of
that police official would have sue
ceeded He next gained nOtoriety by
SWindling Emory StorrS, the lawyer,
of Chicago, and shortly after depleted
the bank roll of Jacob Becker, of
Syracuse, of $500. He was arrested
both times, but managed to get out of
the trouble through pull or friends
at court, or in some way.
Joseph Ramsden, an EnglShman,
fell a victim on May %, 1885, to the
Wiles Of the bunco steerer for $3.50,
but he always protested that when
joe found that he could not SWIndle
him out Of the money he attacked him
physically, and, knocking him down,
stole ii. joe always denied this &C
cusation and persisted that it would
be benea tn his dignity to steal money
in such a way.
His next act was the Baltimore swim
die, for which he received his just
dues.
Several persons who knew Joe in
the old days saw him in Broadway
yesterday, and, despite his clerical dis
guiSe, readily recognized him from a
scar on his under lip, which he re-
ceived in Tow in Philadelphia. The
police will be surprised to learn Of his
return to this city and will keep a
watchful eye on the notorious bunco
man.

NARROW ESCAPES IN BATTLE.
"reminiscences of Close Calls Related
by New Hampshire Veterans.

Most Of the New Hampshire men
here had an honorable record of SER
vice IN the civil war, and when they
meet their "reminiscences are often
highly interesting. A group of them
were telling recently of close call"
One said:
L was talking With a c0mrade dur

returned, holding the battered rem
nants of a silver watch on the stump
of his second finger, bewailing its
dilapidated condition and the fact that
the day before he had paid S25 for the
watch. The man had been standing
with his finger over the watch pocket
in his trousers, when along came the
bullet and cut off the finger and spent
its force in the works of the watch.

narrator, Il lay down during some

minutes. And yet, while these escapes
were constantly occurring, other men
seemed to be followed by a fatality to

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCES

Memorial day seems to have lost
many Of it's features of sorrow. Not
funeral dirges only do the bands play,
but lively marches, ringing martial
tunes and patriotic airs as well. Many
of the thousand flags which float III
the soft May breeze wave proudly
from the highest points of their STATS
and not at half mast. A simple knot
of Grape ON the unfurled banners is
the only emblem Of sorrow. There is
more Of triumph, and joyful hope, and
holy peace than of sorrow in the
speeches.
Time, which has effaced from the
bIoodieSt battIetields of the awful
fratricidal contest all traces Of the
dreadful wave of war, with its fiOtsam
OF sorrow and jetSam of cODpSes, has
soothed the troubled souls of the be-
reaved. The sun of glory which shines
above the dead dries the tears shed
for them.-Chicago Mail.
