LEXINGTON. KY, Sept l1.-Ex.Gov. Thomas
T.. Crittenden of Missouri. who Is visiting reia-
tives here. was asked if the story was true that
he had employed in his Office Jesse James. Jr..

Mr.. Crittenden's fundamentally. The ex-Gov-
ernor replied:
IF I were to build a monument Of denials as

the case are that several years ago my son,
Thomas T.. Crittenden. Jr.. then a real estate
dealer in Kansas City and now County Clerk of
Jackson county, in which Kansas City is located,
advertised for a boy to work in his office. On
the morning following the ad vertisement a num-
Der Of boys were on hand and my son resorted to
a kind OF civil service examination to test their
merits. The boy whose papers were best was
called forward and asked his name.
My name is Jesse Jam 8. Jr..' he replied.
My son was more than amazed, and said:
do you know who l am =
".1es; sir; you are Gov. Crittenden's son.
"'Well, then. you go homo and tell your

scraped bright and hor masthoLGs were painted
white. She carried u boat on davits across the
stern. and this boat WAS painted white and
green. too. Take IL altogether. she looked us
trim and handsome as q biz schooner could look.
But admiration for the schooner could not
lessen the pleasure tho loungers felt In the way

her Just off the slip, and slowed her round, and
then took her into the slip. She WAS u good big
schooner, 400 tons or so, but tho Captain OF the
tug laid her alongside the wharf 30 gently and
easily that you couldn't toll when she touched 1t;
there was nothing TO do but hand her lines over

The tug lay just beyond her in the slip, her

THE PRESIDENCY.

Regarding the Union Pacific presi,
dency it is understood that the railroad,
ers Of Chicago have agreed amone
themselves that the new presidents
name will be Winter. That opinion still
prevails among a number Of Union Pa
cifc officers here. Those who have pre-
dicted Burt's election are still of that
opinion and their belief was rattle,
strengthened this morning when they
learned that he had made application
for his residence at 1872 South Thirty,

Reports from the east are to the effect
that there has been no election of a
president of the reorganized Union Pa
ciac. nor even a decision as TO the iden-
tity Of the man to head the executive
department. 1t Is Understood" that
there will be no election of a president

that the e%ast-bound mail might not be
