MIR. TAYLoR's RESIGNATION.
1t Was Not Asked for, But Willingly
rendered.

According to Recorder Taylor, there is
no truth in the rumor that his resignation
was asked for by the President He
asserts that it was sent To the White
House in pursuance with an urgent re-
quest made some time ago that when
1t was apparent his successor had been
selected he wished to be advised in order
thathe hit send dinhislettero rofresignation.
When seen at his office Saturday he said:
"A few days after the resignation to
President Mckinley / called at the White
Hosue 10 pay my respects. My chief
reason in going there was to express TO
Mr.. Mckinley my feelings regarding the
four year tenure that had been recognized
In the cases of my predecessors. 1 told
the President that as soon as he had
found a suitable man for the place /
should deem it favor If he would
intimate the same to me, as l did not
care to serve out the four-year term.
II impressed this desire not only on
the President, but Mr.. Porter as well, at
several interviews 1 had with these gen

ceived an intimation that the President
had found q man for the Recordershjp

soon as possible, for 1 am tired of all the
strife and worry I have undergone. AS
far as the court officials are concerned, my
relations have been most cordial, and they
have afforded me every courtesy and at
tention my place required, bat it's the dis
tribution of patronage that has been the
most harassing feature of the office.
"Those whom I have cared for and pro-
tected have turned against me, and those
who have been unsuccessful in obtaining
positions have assaiied me. If there is one
office that should he placed under the
civil service it is the Recorders office.
1t would be God-send to my successor il
the patronage he placed under the civil
service, for it is the bane Of the office"
With regard to his critics, the Recorder
said that he feared none of them My

work has been done with all necessary dis

There died in the District Almshousc, of
Old age, yesterday, j. seaton Donoho,
man once W ealthy, of eXcellentfamily and Of
varied talents.
Donoho, who was seventy-eight years old
at the time of his death, was the son Of
j. H. Donoho, one of the most prominent
citizens of Washington, about half a cen
tury ago.
He received an excellent college educa
ton and was thoroughly trained in the
arts. For number of years he occupied
prominent position in the Treasury De-
partinent.
Arout twenty-five years ago, when his
grandfather, Judge Seaton, died, he, 10
gether with his one brother, were left
among much other valuable property the
old Seaton Hall, on Ninth street.
The brothers lived for several years in
luxury upon the income from their property,
but. in an unfortunate day, they embarked
in a number of land speculation schemes
in which they became involved 10 such an
extent that nearly every penny of their
fortunes soon vanished.
The brother left town, but Seaton Donoho,
as he was Familiarity known, lost his spirt
entirely, and roaIned the streets of Wash
Ington a broken and disheartened man
In his better days lie had decided talentfor
both painting and writing, and in his all
versity he endeavored 10 turn this to
account. But, Try as he would, he could
not earn enough to support himself.
Charitable friends, of whom he had
host, cared for him until about four years
ago, when he went 20 the almshouse, where
he continued to live until his death. Mr..
Donoho had been ailing for several years
back, showing evidence of failing health
and impaired intellect
About two weeks ago he became I'M
usually weak and was sent to the adj
joining hospital. Here he fingered, his
condition fluctuating until Friday morn
ing, when he was seized with a sinking
spell which terminated in his death.
An advertisement was published, desiring
his family to come forward and claim
him, but as no one responded, number of
those who had known and loved him in
life decided 10 join together and prevent
his body from being Inferred in the potters
field.
Accordingly, his remains will be inferred
tomorrow W in Rock Greek Cemetery.
In life J. Seaton Donono was man OF
middle height with an intensely intel
lectual cast of countenance. The cDnc-
manding features of his face were mis-
eyes, which Were extremely large, and
liquid brown, and Enthusiastically caught
the attention of all who saw him.
He was one of the first of the old school
of Journalists in Washington, having done
O great deal of work for the long defunct
Weekly Intelligencer His poetic effusions,
for one who did not pursue the calling,
were remarkable, and more than once called
forth the commendation of the critics
When his reverses overlook him he took
to drink, and this considerably hastened
his progress on the downw ard path.
