MAI. DowD'S LIFE OF VANCE.
lCharlotte Ohserver.l

The public will be gratifed to know
that Maj G. Dowd now has his work on
the life of Senator Vance almost com
pleted and ready for the press. He has
yet two links to join together and the book
will be given to the printer. The peo-
pie of the State, knowing that the book
has been compiled and edited by Maj
Dowd, expect nothing else than a work Of
historic and literary merit. and from its
subject necessarily a work Of deep in
terest. They viii not be disappointed in
this. and from what the Observer knows
Of the work they viii find it a little supe-
rior in all points, to their anticipatiOns.
1t is indeed a history Of Vance, full Of
interesting "reminiscences, as we'll as of
historical facts; it tells of struggles and
trials, and difficulties overcome; while
the sunny side of Nance's nature illu-
inmates it's pages. Major DOwd has
spent many months in the preparation Of
this book. He made long patient,
careful and successful search for bio
graphical data, and has expended much
patience in connecting the whole into a
readable history Of his illustriouS sub
ject Major Dowd's accomplishments as
a scholar well fitted him for this task,
while his long association and intimacy
with Vance qualified him for the work
better than any other man.
The book will contain over 500 pages,
and will be well Illustrated. 1t will be
issued shortly from the Observer press.

VICE-PRESIDENT HENDRICKS
FUNERAL.
A Scrap of History Explaining Why the
President Did Not Attend.
(Cor. of the Globe-Democrat.)

Washington. Feb. 20-Behlnd the law
Of Presidential succession is a curious
chapter Of mwritten history. 1t was
told to-day by a AIissOurian., who has
been for many years a trusted official Of
the United States Senate. 1t explains
fully an incident, almost forgotten now,
hut once the cause of much criticism of
President Cleveland. Until ten years ago
the law was that the President pro tenn
nore Of the Senate succeeded to the
Presidential office in the event of the
death or incapacity of both President and
Vice-President In the absence OF
President pro tempore the succession
devolved upon the Speaker. But either
Of these officers only acted as President
until Congress could be convened ON TWEEN
ty days notice, and a special election
could be held. Early in the first term OF
Mr.. Cleveland, Vice President Hendricks
died at his home in Indianapolis. A sit
uatfon which was without precedent ex-
listed. Up to the time OF his sickness
Mr.. Hendricks had prevented the Sen
ate from eleeting President pro tempore.
He had been able to do his duty by de-
clining to vacate the chair and to recOg-
nize that privilege. The Senate was Re
publican by narrow majority. The Vice
President having some political advan-
tage in mind by so doing, steadily refused
TO let the Republicans organize. When
he died there was no President pro tenn
pore. The death occurred between the
dissolution of on Congress and the regu-
lar session Of the next Congress. There
was no Speaker. At the White House
President Cleveland was completing his
preparations to go to Indianapolis to at
