to see him. and that he wanted him to
be his secretary of the treasury. Sena-
tor Allison told me that he could not
accept the position, and that he was
going out to refuse 1t. As We drew near
Indianapolis I noticed him becoming
more and more restless. He evidently
did not like the job OF having to re-
fuse Harrison. At last he said:

The most unique collection Of stamps
which any u ever heard of Is owned

Not so much does the oddness lie in
the stamps themselves as In the meth

In haste, either to catch a train or
boat, this woman made a bold effort
to cross the street, but before getting
far she was cut off by a car and a
piano wagon drawn by two mules. For
a moment everything was In confu-
sion. Women on the sidewalk nearly
dropped for fear that the woman would
be crushed to death before their eyes,
but the men laughed when they saw
this fiimsy m start to return to
the pavement; but alas, she was over
taken by the piano wagon. The wo-
man, seeing what a predicament she
was In, gave a little leap and landed
on the pole chains OF the wagon. the
driver, meanwhile, e~ndeavoring to stay
his team. Before he had succeeded
the woman was gracefully sitting on
the wagon pole. with an arm over the
neck Of each mule. The mules showed
no surprise, but simply stared at each
other as II to say: We'll, Dick, do you
want this new woman" The other
mule persisted in strolling along and

the woman was safely landed on the

to get rid of him. He succeeded in do
ing this through Leonard SWEET and
Thurlow Weed. Judge Grosscup, who
was a partner Of SWEET, told me the
story. He says that Weed made Cam
eron think that he was going to lose
both his reputation and his health by
continuing in the position. Weed came
from New York to see Cameron. AS he
met him he started back and ex-
claimed: my God, senator! Are you
sick? You don't look at all WE'LL
Old Senator Cameron, who had a
constitution Of iron. and who. you
know, was over 80 when he died, re-
piled that he was in his usual health,
but Weed went on:
well, you don't look 1t. You have
lost some weight since l saw you last,
and your color is not good. fear
you are working too hard, Cameron
Mrs. Cameron was present when this
last remark was made, and she said
she agreed with Mr.. Weed that her
husband was working too hard. After
dinner that night Mr.. Weed advised
Cameron to get out of the department.
He told him he thought the war was
going to be a failure. He said 1t would
end only In the loss of thousands OF
lives and millions of property, and that
Cameron as secretary of war would be
cursed from one end of the United
States to the other.
After some time Cameron became

I do it without seeming to be either a
coward or a failure?'
To this Weed replied that he did not
know. but that he would lake a walk
and think it over and see IL some ar
rangement could not be made. AS he
went out he spoke to Mrs. Cameron
again about her husbands health, ana
she told him that she wanted MI. cam
eron to leave the cabinet. In an hour
or so Mr.. Weed returned and told
Simon Cameron that he had hit upon
a rood plan and that was for MIN 10

Lincoln's cabinet ministers were not
surely known before he came in, and
they were changed very rapidly there
after. Some of the members of the
cabinet were arranged for at the time
OF the convention by the promises of
some OF Lincoln's friends. and I have

TO WILLS.
A Connecticut Judges Plan for Carrying
Out 10 Testator's Wishes.

Out 10 TcstatOr's Wishes
From the Hartford Times: The only
practical ana simple scheme for the
prevention OF attacks on wills Is that
proposed by Judge John II. White OF
Hartford, and defeated by the legisla-
ture of 1895. II provides that every
person on making n will may deposit
1t with a legal officer. who shall give
public notice that a will has been so
offered. and that all who wish to at
tack the capacity Of the testator shall
have a certain time In which to offer
evidence and bring the matter to a de-
cision. II no objection to the testator's
capacity Is made within the time specl-
fed, the will cannot be attacked on
that ground after his death. The con-
tents of the will are not disclosed, even
to Its custodian. No one has any
ground to attack 1t because he Is left
put or gets less than he thinks ne
should have. Evidently people will
think twice before attacking the tesla
mentary capacity OF a a who Is
there to defend himself, especially
Wucu tucy i uhSSi w HOW ne HAS
devised his property, and may be Bit
ting of their own noses. As Mr..
Swiveller remarked about the rooms
at Bevls Marks: THE contingent ad-
vantages are extraordinary" Under
this law there would be no premium
on Withdrawing. The proposed law
does not require any one to deposit his
will. It merely gives to every person
an opportunity 10 make sure that his
intentions regarding his property shall
be carried out and a growing scandal
diminished. Another idea Is that the
legislature pass an act directing the
Judge In his charge to the jury, in case
Of will contests. to instruct them as
to the weight OF evidence and the YER
dict that ia demanded by the law.
These will cases present questions OF
law about which the Judge knows more
than the jury; and we can conceive OF
no more infamous practice than that
Of breaking a will On technical points,
when the intent of the ~testator Is clear.
