particular manufacturing and business
interests that have played the leading
part in the prosperity Oft the city MIR.
Sherman, although his legal residence
and summer home is at Mansfield,
Ohio,-belongs in fact to the beautiful
city of Washington, where in the pur-
suit of his official duties he has had his
principal residence for the past forty
two years. The only member of the
Cabinet therefore who is not of the
city rather than the country, is the
Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Wilson.
who is at once farmer, student, scien,
fist, administrator and teacher, and
who. in all around capacity. has no
superior IL the Cabinet, while in fitness
for a specific portfolio he has probably
no equal. This Cabinet made up OF
city men is in rather striking contrast
on that score with Mr.. Cleveland's of
1898. which had Mr. Olney of Boston as
its only member who might be consid-
cred as identified in any representative
sense with the life of IL great city No
other Cabinet in the history of our
country has. to any such extent as the
one now at work, been drawn from the
heart of the larger business life center,
ing in our great towns. The change in
this resrect suggests certain radical
changes that are coming about in our
social and industrial conditions.
If the new Cabinet may be called q
group of men of city manners and ex,
cepuonal social qualifications, it is noe
body of university bred or strikingly
learned men. Mr.. Long. with his Har-
ward education and his literary apti-
lrGn fe. h..
Baltimore attended in his early youth
the college at Meadville, Pa, where Mr..
Mckinley went for time; but the other
members of the Cabinet are not of col
iege training. All of them, however,
have been studious men, and we may
leave it for our educational friends to
say whether or not they would have
been wiser or better trained group il
they had graduated from the colleges OF
their day. Mr. Gage has been a wide
reader, and is an economic student and
thinker of high repute-as Mr. Handy
made plain in the character sketch pub
lished in this magazine last month. Mr..
Sherman has always been a man of es-
pecially studious tastes, and the quali-
ties of his mind are well shown. not
only in two interesting volumes of his
'Recollections of Forty Years in the
House. Senate and Cabinet" but also
and even more agreeably in the re-
markable volume entitled THE Sher-
man Letters" published three years
ago, and made up of selections from tho
correspondence between John Sherman
and his brother, William r. Sherman,
from the year 1887 to the year 1891
period of tiftyfour years. Besides
these volumes we have Mr.. Sherman's
financial speeches and reports, particu-
larry those pertaining TO the resumption
period, when he was Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr. Long is classical
scholar, and has given us among other
things translation of Virgil. Mr. Will
son is remarkably verSed in the mod
ern sciences which bear upon agricult-
ure, stock raising, dairyng and food
products in general, and has written
much upon these subjects particularly
for the Western papers that circulate
among farmers.-Albert Shaw in Re-

No novelist has ever conceived plot
more romantic and exciting than the
true story of Wagner's life. A few of
the details are still in doubt, but light
is being gradually thrown on them. 1t
is well known that shortly before King
Ludwig II. assembled the throne of Ba-
varia, Wagner, unable to make any
money out of his operas, and pursued by
creditors, was on the point of commit
ting suicide. A recent article by w.
Weissheimer, an intimate friend OF
Wagner's, especially in the "Meister-
singer" period, describes the situation in
1864 wildly. Weissheimer had received
from Wagner a telegram dated at Stuff
CART and saying: Am here for a few
days, Hotel Marquard, and beg you
to call" Weissheimer relates:
Il Immediately went to Stuttgart and
From Penzing (Vienna) he had gone to
Switzerland, where Frau Willie received

suggested the Rauhe Alb as a lonely re-
gion; there l was to make for him
quickly an arrangement of the first act
of the MeiStersinger' score for voice
and piano, to enable him to claim con-
siderable sum from his publisher Schott
We were to leave in day or two, the
plan being to go in a wagon as far as
Unterturken and there take the train
1 had already ordered the wagon for the
following morning. Returning to the
hotel found a stranger with Wagner. 1t
was Adjutant Pfstermeister, the mes
senger of King Ludwig H., who freed
him from his terrible situation. Had he
arrived but day later, he would have
failed to find Wagner and would have
had to return to Munich without having
accomplished his mission. Soon there
after Wagner's fairylike unexpected
good luck was confirmed

The Founding belongs to that large

CABINET CHARACTERISTICS.
MCKinley's Advisers Business Men Rather

An Interesting Character Study of the
Group of New Secretaries at
Washington.

A study of the Cabinet in ensemble,
so to speak, would reveal some inter-
esting facts. One of the first things
| to be noted is the fact that in point
of years the Cabinet is so literally we'll
| seasoned. Every man in the group is
past sixty years of age except Mr..
| Long, who is fifty-nine, and Mr.. Nc
| Kenna, who is fifty-f four. 1t seems to
us decidedly to Mr.. McKinleys credit
that he selected men older than him.
self to be his counselors. Mr.. McKin-
| ley is just fifty-four, and is therefore of
the same age as the youngest member
of his Cabinet. The average age of
the whole group is somewhere between
sixty-two and siXty-three years. Mr..
| Cleveland's Cabinet was very much
younger. The men who laid down the
portfolios on March 9th had averaged
only fifty-one years of age when their
! Cabinet was formed.
| Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet, therefore,
averages from eleven to twelve years
older than Mr.. Cleveland's. Mr.. Cleve-
| land himself, who completed his sixtieth
year on the 18th Of March. was about
five years older than the average of his
Cabinet. President Harrison had a
Cabinet of rather uniform age, the
average at the beginning being about
| fifty-five years. Some further COM
! parsons with earlier Cabinets are not
uninstructive. For example, President
! Washington's first Cabinet averaged
3SS years, Mr. Jefferson's forty-six
years, making him much the oldest
member of that group, while Hamilton,
| being only thirty two, was the young
! est. President Jackson's first Cabi-
net averaged less than forty-six years.
and the very oldest member of it was
| only fifty. President Loncoln's first
| Cabinet-as befitted a crisis so grave
and fateful-was made up of much old
er men, their ACREAGE age being more
