with the English and the people here at

of his years to politics and craftsmanship.
He held many official positions, and yet he
never made a cent out of politics. All Of
his fortune was accumulated at the law be-

How Buchanan Really Looked.
There are number of fine portraits of
President Buchanan in Mrs. Johnston 5
home. Among others she showed me a
beautiful miniature painted by a famous
artist when MIR. Buchanan was in his
prime. 1t represents a face much hand
somer ard more human than the stiff and
stately figures shown in the ordinary en-
cravings. In it the complexion of the Pres
ident is rosy. his eyes are as blue as the
summer skies and his face is full of kindii-
ness and soul.

The death OF Miss Ellen Beach Yaw at
Binghamton. n. l., occurred precisely
as the best vocal masters who had taught
her said it would. She was singing be-
fore an audience, and, in reaching the
high notes for which her voice was
famous, the jugular vein in her throat
burst, and she bled to death on the
stage before her hearers. Miss Yaw
was able to reach the highest note Of
any cantatrice in the world. which was
due to a peculiar formation OF her
throat. In straining to reach this note
muscles in her throat were pressed
against the jugular vein and injured
this by abrasion until the membrane
was worn through, causing hemorrhage.
Miss Yaw was born in Boston. Erie
county. N. Y, and was about SO years
Of age. She has sung in Lincoln, l

derful range OF her voice it lacked
sweetness.

COST OF ARMoR PLATE.
Mr.. Chandler Thinks the Price should
Not Exceed $500 n Ton.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Senator Chand-
Ter, of New Hampshire, has prepared re-
port on the cost of armor plate which will
be submitted to the naval committee of the
Senate at its first meeting. In fact, printed
copies of the draft of the report have
been furnished each member of the COM
mittee and for a week past these members
have been considering il. Mr.. Chandler
estimates the cost of armor plate at $500
per ton. reduction of 500 from that made
by Secretary Herbert in the recent report
sent TO Congress- in which he made an
estimate of 500 a ton.
The report, as prepared, severely criti-
cises Commander Folger who was chief of
the Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy De-
partment when large amounts of armor
were contracted for. Mr.. Chandler, in
reaching a price which he thinks should
be paid for armor, takes figures from the
recent report OF the secretary of the navy,
but i'm pairing down several estimates,
makes a saving OF 500. In the first place
the secretary's estimate for the cost OF
labor and material is $lS6 per ton, and Sem
ator Chambers s16s: the senator taking
the average estimate of the committee ap-
pointed by the secretary. included two
higher estimates. For double forging both
estimates give $12 per ton. For main
tanning the plant Mr.. Chandler allows $50
per ton and the secretary $50. The secre-
tarys estimate thus reaches S2i6, which
he calls $3.50 in round numbers. while Mr..
Chambers is s210 The secretary added 90
per cent. profit, bringing the cost TO 1915,
SO 1-3 per cent, making cost OF $3.50 per
ton. The cost of nickel, $40 per ton. Is
added making Mr.. Chambers total esti-
mate $500 and Secretary Herberts $395,
which he makes in round numbers $i00.
Mr. Chandler strongly urges that $500 is an
ample sum to pay for armor plate and
quotes from the report of Secretary Her
bert relative to the cost of the armor for
proof of his assertion. He also says that
is $50 more than the price paid by Russia.
The report may not be adopted by the
committee, as no meeting has yet been
held. Individual members of the committee
refuse TO express any opinion as to what
the committee will do. but ii is believed
that i'm case a majority of the committee
do not concur Senator Chandler will bring
the matter before the Senate in a minority
report. 1t is also understood that when the
naval appropriation bill comes before the
Senate an effort will be made to have the
price of armor plate fixed at $500 per ton
instead of S400 as recommended by the
