The Oldest White House Attendant

Thomas +. Pendil is the oldest attendant
at the White House. He has been on duty
there since 1864, and has a faculty of relat-
ing his experience in way that is most
interesting, if not always In the best of
English. He saw part of the two TRACE
dies that belong to the history of the man
sion.
He opened the door of the red parlor
to let Mr.. Lincoln out the fatal night he
left for the theater with Schuyler Colfax
and friend from New York. He helped
bring Garfield into the blue parlor by the
south window to avoid the crowd that had
assembled at the north entrance, and cells
how he chafed the numbed feet Of the
wounded man.
One of the most interesting stories Of Mr..
Pendil is about the bust Of John Bright,
which stands upon pedestal near the
door of the red parlor This was to have
been sent as a gift to the man, of all
Americans, for whom John Bright had the
greatest admiration, Abraham Lincoln
but the day 1t was to have been shipped
for the United States the news of the as
sassination was received in London, and
Mr.. Bright then said
"Send 1t as a present to the American
nation, and have 1t placed in the home
Of their chief executive. From a Wash
ington dispatch.

Soldiers Travelling Then and Now

when soldiers in the service of the
United States are travelling their comfort
Is pretty well looked after" says F. F.
Horner, general passenger agent of the
Nickel Plate.
THE government requires the railroad
companies to provide sleeping cars for
the officers and also for the privates if
1t is possible to procure the cars. The
Thirteenth regiment, which left Buffalo
few days ago, was carried in tourist cars
three men to section, two occupying the
lower berth and one the upper. OF course
If men are to be carried in very large num-
bers on short notice such arrangements
would be impossible, but even then we
would have to provide them with ordinary
day coaches. The volunteers who answer
the present call will be carried in tourist
cars IL their journey lasts through the
night. Otherwise they will go in day
coaches. L don't think any other country
on earth looks after it's soldiers so well
When l was soldering we considered
freight car perfectly satisfactory. We gen.
orally had to walk. Being packed into a
freight car on a hot summer day was
rather uncomfortable, and the men usu-
ally secured ventilation by knocking holes
in the sides of the car with the butts of
their rifles. When the officers remon-
strated the boys would say that they were
just making loopholes to shoot the John
Mes "-Buffalo Commercial.

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade IN
Cereals

CHICAGO, May 31.-Today's session saw
the close of perhaps the greatest wheat
deal in the annals of the grain business:
The May option which left Off SATURDAY a at
81. rs ranged today between $1.40 and $l2o,
closing at the lower figure, a loss OF ooc
a bushel. The slump in May, coupled with
bearish statistics, enormous world SNIP
ments and bright prospects, caused Sc
wheat At she close July showed a loss
of G@l61bc, and September 2@21ac. The de-
mand in the wheat pit today was for shorts,
who took advantage of the break to BUY
tional decline, during which some Of the
longs sold out. 1t started at from $l0l to
s1O2. and was offered down from $l.O2, Zee
on each retail trade until 1t had dropped
cline later, with a little help from Letter.
May, which closed Saturday at $1.75, opened
today at 81. 40, and July dropped to 81. 20
in the first few minutes. The evident in
tention was to make a price for the heavy
receipts that were offered in the sample
market. The trade was confined to Letter
brokers, who were both buyers and sellers,
and made what prices they chose. The crop
news at home and abroad could hardly nave
been more bearsh. The visible supply in
creased nearly 600 900 bushels where d small
decrease had been expected. July closed at
971b6I9Sc, q loss of ga 6lAc. September closed
at S11sqS1Ac. May closed at $l.25, loss of
Soc.
There was a quick drop in corn at the
start, on large receipts and the wheat
break 1t rallied very soon, however. on
good buying and wet weather reports. July
closed 5sc higher
In oats a moderately large business was
DONE July closed Ac higher.
The firmness in provisions was largely
ascrlbed to the signing of the reciprocity
treaty, with FRANCE: The treaty cuts the
tax on lard third. Pork is up 2Mc, lard
10c and ribs 71ac.

Assessment Insurance Problem


Few contributions to the literature as
sessment insurance have been more sug-
gestive than the report considered by the
supreme council of the Royal Arcanum at
Cleveland the other day, respecting the
adoption of "step rates. in place of those
now charged. The full recommendations
b, are not known, but the collected expe-
rience of the order indicates that the aver
age cost to each member per $1,000 of in
surance increased nearly so per cent. in
sixteen years. In 1881, with average insur-
ance in force of more than $S7 600 600, a
death loss of but $685. 600 was experienced,
necessitating an average assessment on
each member for the year of but $6.47 for
1 each $1,000 of insurance. Ten years later
the average insurance in force was s347-
900, and the death loss 5000, 1885,
0OO, bringing the average cost to each MEM
Der UP to 1913 for each $1,000 an increase
of about 40 per cent. on the average cost
decade before.
Last year the average cost was (esti-
mated s944 per $1,000 for each member.
1t is also said that the committee found
that the cost of insuring certain old men,

and became three times as great after
sixteen years, although they only paid
about half as much as formerly. From
the calculations already made 1t is said
that the committee estimates that the NOR

Oleomargarine Victorious

The New York Evening Post of the Path
instant says, editorially: 1.-THE supreme
court yesterday declared unconstitutional
the oleomargerlne laws of New Hampshire
and Pennsylvania. upon the ground that
such legislation is an interference with
Interstate commerce. Under this decision
oleomargarine made in one state can be
sold in another, and this will render states
restrictions upon it's sale OF no effect
There has been an immense amount of
humbug about all this legislation against
oleomargarine. The claim that this substi-
tute for butter is not healthful Is disputed,
and consequently the sanitary argument
Tor prohibiting its sale is weak In fact,
II there had not been a powerful class of
voters who considered their interests as
butter-makers Injured by the growing
popularity of the new product, nobody
would have thought of interfering with
the traffic. The laws which have been
passed represent class legislation, pure
and simple. and It is gratifying that the
supreme court finds ground for overthrow
Ing them"
