CHARACTERISTICS,

4 story IL told OF Mr.. Hesing's youth
which better than anything else illus.
tr,tes the character Of the man.
In 1865 his father sent him east to
take the entrance examination for Har-
ward. The young man was full of con-
iidcnce ana had no doubt but that he
would pass the examination easily. II
turned out differently, however. and
when he went up for examination his
memory became traitor ana lied entire
~. He admits that he failed ignOmini-
Ously ana returned to the hotel not dar-
ing to telegraph his father what had
happened. lie had a few dollars In his
pocket, ana thinking over the situation,
he reflected that 1t was net because he
had not the requisite information that
he failed. So he determined to go at
once to New Haven ana take the en-
trance examination for Yale. He had
barely enough money to reach New IIa-
ven. but he bravely started on the way.
He took the examination, kept his wits
about him ana passed almost at the
head of the class. lie at once telegraph
ed his father what had happened and
by wire received congratulations on his
pluck and energy.
Mr.. Hesing's physical appearance IL
clcan-cut and decided. or more than
average height, strongly built, square
jawed, slightly bald. the edltor-postmns-
ter looks every inch the fighter that he
Is. Yet, despite these outward evidences
OF pugnaclty, he Is the soul of good tenn
per ana cheerfulness. His subordlnates
understand that while they perform
their duties properly they will be treat
ed with all possible courtesy and con-
slderat!On. Any failure. however, on
their part 10 so perform their duties Is
punished with swiftness and de-
termination which evidence the fact
that the postmaster believes in good or
der, system, discipline ana thorough
ness
While dignhed In his general de-
mcanor, Mr.. Heslng Is extremely demo.

CHAPTER VI,
General.

Mr.. Hesing, In the course of his ca.
rcer. has had abundant opportunity to
observe the workings Of municipal gov.
ernment In the larger cities of tho
world. During ninety days sojourn
In Europe he gathered great fund Of
Information on municipal and other
subjects which he gave to the public
In u book entitled "Ninety Days In Eu-
rope" While his mental activity does
not point In the direction Of purely lit
erary achievements, yet for all that
there Ia a directness and swing to his
productions that IL peculiarly attract.
i've. The pOstmaster's appetite for sta
tistlcs Is marvellous, ana the statistical !
habit distinguishes most Of his public
utterances. He IL IN exceedingly fOrci-
ble platform speaker, ana carries con-
vlctiOn to his hearers by sheer force Of
mind and energy Of character. Some
Of his principal addresses are on the
subjects Of Municipal Government"
Civil Service" "Wage-Earning Prob
lems," "Citlzenship ana True Amerl-
canlsm' ana "The Postal Service He
Is not n theOrist, and treats all his sub
jects from the standpoint of common
sense.
In respect to the labor question, he IL
q warm advocate of shorter hours of
labor, ana has demonstrated this fact
by securing shorter hours for the clerks
ana laboreis In the postal service.
In the printing office of the Stats Eel
tung union hours prevail, ana the union
scale Of wages IL paid.
His political convictions tend strongly
to the principle of individualism. ana
he believes In as little government in
terference as possible. When 1t does
interfere. however, he Is of the opinion
that Its Interference should be prompt
ana effective.
Mr. Heslng Is a member of the princi-
pal Chicago clubs, such as the Chicago
Athletic, Germnnla, Columbus, Ir0-
qnOls, Press Club, ana the Washington
Park Driving Club. He was recently
elected president of the Press Club for
1897. He Is also president of the Yale
Alumni Association. He is Il. A. and
NJ. \. of Yale ana an LII. ID. OF Notre
Dame.

monses have been free lances. No one
has the right to discipline them or repri-

Offense that brings them within the
reach OF the States Attorney. Mr..
ROwe's bill is given appreciation by jus.
tices and by reputable cOnstables who
derive discredit from the actions of
wildcat writ peddlers. Under this kind
of law alleged consta bles. like George
Gabriel, would be under Indictment In
short order.
Notwithstanding the fact that Hon. j.
