canonization Of Lincoln did not begin
until some time after his death. He
had some little idiosynerasies of pro-
nunciatiOn and action which hid to a
certain extent his real greatness. His
wonderful mOdesty and simplicity was
partially the cause of his nOn-appre-
citation. He was perfectly simple in
all of his ways. I can give you an
incident which illustrates what I
mean. Col FOrney owned, in addition
to the Philadelphia Press, the Wash
ingtOn Chronicle, and l was some
times left in charge. One night when
this was the case we received a Rich
mond paper. which in some way had
been smuggled through the lines,
which contained a dispatch stating
that Charleston had been taken. 1t
was very difficult to get such papers,
and they often gave US important ad-
vance news. This paper came in about
2 o'clock in the morning. AS | read it
it seemed to me that the president
ought to know Of the capture of
Charleston. I was only boy, but 1
decided to go to the White house and
tell him. So 1 took the foreman of
the office and together we walked to
the White house. We rang the bell,
and after a time a messenger opened
it. He told US in response to my re-
quest to see Mr.. Lincoln that he had
long since gone to bed and was now
asleep.
But said I, we have important
news for him. have received informa-
ton which he should have, and [ am
sure he ought to be walked up TO hear
It. After a while the messenger said
he would go to the presidents bed room
and awaken him. He went. A few
moments later the president came down
clad in nothing but his night shirt.
He asked us to step Into the east room

his legs and that as he sat on the sofa

DON'Ts TO SLENDER WOMEN.
What They Must Do to Look Pictur-
eSque Yet Not Too Thin.

Don't walk to excess; a short walk Will
be beneficial, but long walks are flesh re-
ducing.
Don't wear black; black has a tendency to
make any one look slender. Light clothes
are the most becoming.
Don't have your lingerie too close fit
ting; have your underskirts gathered around
the hips and full front in your underwaist
is good.
Don't strive for long-waisted effects or use
pointed girdes; the longer you make your
self look the thinner you will appear.
Don't stop UP too late at night; get at
least nine hours good sleep. A woman needs
more sleep than a man, and nothing keeps
her in good condition like lots Of sleep.
Don't wear stripes; checks, plaids and
horizontal effects are better for thin women.
They should strive for becoming, deceiving
effects if they study art in dressing at all.
Don't forget that a well-rounded figure
makes you look younger and is considered
mark Of beauty. The starchy foods, mas
sage, moderate exercise, rest and sleep will
produce this

advantages before being president. I
remember hearing him say several
times upon noticing certain things in
the far East: 1 wish 1 had known this
ten years ago.
Suppose Grant had been elected a.
third time, Mr.. Young, would his adj
ministratiOn have been of value to the
cOuntry?'
THE loss to the United States by the
failure to make Grant president a third
time cannot be estimated Mr. Young
emphatically replied. Roscoe Conk
ling, who, you know, delighted in strik-
ing expressions, said to me once in
talking about this matter
The battle of Waterloo put back
progress in France at least six centur-
les. The defeat of Grant has put back
the progress of this country just as
much
Had Grant been elected upon his
return from his trip around the world, >"
continued Mr.. Young, "he would have
not only kept the Monroe doctrine as
to this hemisphere. but he would have
applied it to the whole coast of East
Asia. 1t would have been upheld from
Picking to Singapore. The United
States would have insisted upon the
autonomy Of China, Japan and Corea,
and would have resisted every effort Of
Russia and England to make those
countries merely trade appendages of
themselves 1t would have enormous

by reciprocity treaties the western part
of our country would have had a large
share OF the trade of East Asia"

Grant around the world, Mr. Young?
You were the only newspaper man of

Gen Grant asked me to go as a

what the newspapers said. He was

faces Frenchman's bay, near Bar Har-

THAT Safe OLD PARROT.

demagogue who deliberately en-
deavors to pervert facts, who desires
to make himself appear ridiculous in
the eyes Of all we'll meaning. think
ing people, who has the utmost disre-
gard for truth, who desires to pose as
canting hypocrite, would indulge in
such stuff, and we are sorry to see our
contemporary placing itself in such
an attitude. Everybody knows that
although President Mckinley has
earnestly striven to undo the mischief
produced by the last administration,
and that his efortsh have been heartily
seconded by the House Of Representa-
tives, yet such condition of affairs
exists in the Senate as have so far and
may possibly for some time to come
neutralize all that the President can
do, aud still leave the country at the
mercy of the Free Traders and their
toto allies.
Despite all discouragements, not
withstanding the fact that obnoxious
laws still deface and deiile our statute
books, much has been accomplished.

Senator Germans Share.

The Civil Service Committee of the
Senate, which is investigating Cleve-
lands methods of civil service, held a
session last Saturday. Mr.. Harold
Benedict, late foreman of the Proof
Room, replying to Senator Pritchard,
said that all employees of the office,
when the classified service was ex-
tended to it, should have been made
to pass an examination. it was an
nounced by Senator Pritchard that
the Public Printer would be asked to
furnish statement of the politics OF
all employees of his Office. According
to the witness Public Printer Palmer
had begun making appointments inn
mediately after Mr.. Cleveland's cleo
ton in 1892, and during the eighteen
months thereafter in which he held
Office had made appointments at the
rate of so a month, until the office was
greatly overcrowded. Four-fifths of
the appointees were Democrats, APP
pointed by Mr. Palmer, although a
Republican, to secure the friendship
of Democratic Congressman. Many
of the appointments were made when
there was not sufficient work for two
thirds of those in office, so when Mr..
Benedict took charge he made whole
sale discharges, most of those dis
charged being Republicans,
Senator Elkins was DESTROYS of
knowing how many appointments
had been secured by any one member
of Congress, and the witness answered
that about rs were credited to Rep
.resentatiye Richardson, OF Tennessee,
chairman of the House Committee on
Printing, and about 200 to Senator
German, chairman of the Senate Com
mittee.
The witness asserted that Mr.. Pal
mer, at the close of his first term had
made desperate efforts to retain his
Office by getting the friendship OF
Democratic Congressman.
Senator Pritchard gave an opinion
that the classification as skilled labor
ers OF those who were not skilled la
borers had done more than anything
else to bring the office into disrepute.
The witness thought the selection
of chiefs of division and other high
officers should be left to the Public
Printer
Mr.. J. l.. Kennedy, formerly of the
printing office, explained that Mr..
Palmer had made many appointments
during the time specified by Mr. Bene-
dict because of 1.-THE hard times, and
it had been thought better TO give en-
ployment to many men part of the
time than few men constantly. The
civil service law, he said failed to
protect employees because it did not
prevent their discharge. In the fifteen
months before the printing Office was
put under the civil service law go Re
publicans had been discharged.

protect American ships which are

posing higher duty on imports in
foreign than in American vessels.
