PROFESSOR MARSH AND 10.

Forest and Stream: To his intimates
the late Professor Marsh was known
not only as a scientific man of great
ability and worldwide reputation, but
also as a delightful companion, quick and
witty, with a keen appreciation of humor,
and a narrator of capital stories. One of
these, which he used to tell of himself
with great effect, dealt with a small adj
venture he had man. years g in the
Rocky mountains.
The first month or two of the trip had
been spent on the plains of Nebraska and
Wyoming, at that time the hunting
ground of the Sioux and CheyeEnes, who
were bitterly hostile, and signs OF whose
presence near the command were often
seen. The whole party realized that they
were in a dangerous country, and all
hands were constantly on the watch for
enemies and We're careful not to wander
far from the command or if two or three
fossil-gatherers did go off from the main
body they took with them a number of
worked. After leaving this dangerous
region the expedition moved on to the
bad lands near Fort Bridger, where there
We're but few Indians, and those friendly
ones, and the work of gathering fossils
went IN.
One day Professor Marsh was hard at
! work ON his knees in the bottom of the
narrow faNlne ulSSlHS away lne SOll
from a bone which stuck out of the bank.
He was entirely absorbed in his task,
: and noticed nothing of what was going
on about him until the brillian sunlight,
which poured down on him, was cut off
by a dark shadow, and he looked up to
see standing above him a great, grim
warrior, holding his rifle at ready.
The professors heart leaped into his
throat. He forgot where he was. He
strove to utter a p~ropitiatory How but
his dry lips refused to form the word.
and he could only swallow, trying to get
rid of the lump in his throat. Suddenly
the savage bent toward him and spoke.
"Have I the honor of addressing Pro-
fessor Othneil Charles Marsh, the emf
ncnt paleontologist of Yale college," he
inquired.
The revulsion of feeling was almos too
much for the professor, who was now
even less able to speak han he had been
before.

family. One of the Johns was always
called John Adams, and the other John
Quincy. One James was called by his
name, the other was Jimmy.
After the birth and baptism of Martin
Van Buren, Dolan, the father is said to
have sighed. He was a Wing and it was
a bitter pill to name one of his boys An
drew Jackson, but he hated Van Buren,.
However, he said he couldn't break the
chain. Two years after Martin Van
Buren's advent the household was bright
ened by a girl baby. For more than a
year this child was known as Sissy, be-
cause ting father and mother failed to
agree on a name. At last, however, the
mother gave way, n the ambition of
the father was, to some extent gratitied.
He called the girl Henry Clay Dolan, and
long after her fathers death, while her
brothers were in the Confederate army
and her mother was an invalid, Henry
Clay Dolan held the homestead against
raiders until under a military order she
and her brother were banished. Every
member of the family, except the heads,
are still living.

A CAMPAIGN KEY NOTE.

The address delivered by Senator Frye
in New York last night may be regarded
as indicating the position which the re-
publican party will take on the expan-
| sion issue in 1900. In it's entirety the
| speech was a strong argument in favor
of the course being pursued by the ad-
ministration in subduing the Filipinos,
and in outlining a policy for the control
Spain. In concluding his mastery ad-
dress, Mr.. Frye said:
What shall we do with the Philippines?
In my judgment there will be no uncer-
tain sound in the answer of our people.
They have. been acquired honestly, and in
their requirement we have dealt gener-
ously with Spain. We will hold them as,
our w for the good OF the people who.
inhabit them n for the immense advan-
tage, commercially, they promise. We
Will give them a good government, relief.
from burdensome taxation, ample Sc
curity in all their civil and religious
rights. We will build highways, con-
Struct railroads., erect school houses and
churches. We will allow them to par
ticipate in government so far and so fast
as we may find them capable. We will
arouse in them an ambition to become
good citizens, competent to manage their
own local affairs and interests. We will
make it possible for them, some time in
the future, to form a stable republican
government, capable of making treaties,
enforcing their rights under them and OBJ
serve their obligations. Then, we alone
being the judge of their competency, will
surrender to them the sovereignty, re-
serving to ourselves the naval and COAL
ing stations necessary for our commerce
and its protection. In the meantime we
will not restore a rod to Spain or sell a
rod to any nation on earth, nor will we
permit our supreme authority to be
diminished or questioned by any power
within or without the stands. Such
u~tterances as these may subject me to
the charge of being an eXpansionist. 1
plead guilty to the indictment and find
myself in most exalted company.
Senator Frye's position cannot be sue
cessfully assailed. 1t implies the hold
ing of the Philippines for the advantages
will compensate for the expenditures of
the wal and give to the American nation
q commercial and military prestige of
transcendent value in the settlement of
the pTODlenlS OF the east, ana tnen giving
to the natives a stable form of s%elf-gov-
ernment when they shall nave been edu-
Gated up to its responsibilities.
| In opposition to this is the theory Of
Mr.. Bryan and his democratic friends,
that the American troops should be with
drawn from the islands, and Aguinaldo
and his savage hordes be permitted to
regulate affairs to suit themselves, re-
CARELESS of the anarchy that would pre-
| vail, the destruction of foreign vested
rights that would follow, and the likeli-
hood that an International scramble
session that would inperil the peace of
the world.

ROLL CALL OF PRESIDENTS.

New York Sun: James Monroe Dolan
lived for more than SO years on the farm
he bought i. 1885. He was a Virginian.
and having oWned a flatboat on the
James river, was known as Captain. He
was a patriotic American, and his am
bition was to nave each of his children
named after a president. provided they
were boys. He lived to see eight presi-
dental namesakes grow up about him.
He used to say that his family was part
CT the history of his country.
Strangers and neighbors who STAYED
all night at Captain Dolan's farmhouse
could lear the roll call of the presidents
from Washington to Van Buren,, includ-
ing the latter. early every morning. The
old farmers acres were broad, and he
was one of the first cattle kings of that
part of the country. Hence it was neces-
sary for him to get his BOYS out early
for the work of the day. The house. like
most farmhouse of that time, was a
double log structure, with an entry be-
tween, which was used as the storeroom.
Into this entry old Captain Dolan went
every morning at 6 o'clock n called the
roll of the presidents, who were asleep
in one wing of the house. For many
years the following roll call was strictly
attended to. in the order here given:
Washington, Washington, Washing
toni" The youn man of that name was
expected to answer on the third call. and
when he had done so he heard the COM
mand, "Coine, sir; time to be out" And
then the call proceeded: 'John Adams,
John Adams, John Adams, Come. sir;
time to be out" John Adams had an
sWered to his name on the third call. The
roll continued, and the guest who heard
it learned after it was finished that there
were two Johns and two Jameses in the

THE REPRIMAND BUSINESS.

Diplomacy is an art in which mterna-
tional dudes attain proficiency. TO De d
hrst-class diplomat a man must have the
ability to. dissemble with ease, TO MAKE
black appear white, and to enjoy the raw
ages of perpetual deceit upon his moral
nature. Some men have SO much of the
Tallyrand in their nature as to fall INTO
diplomatic ruts with little friction. Thus
the play goes on. Other men, rugged fei-
lows of the Dewey type, utterly fall along
diplomatic lines. Like Grant, he is out
spoken when occasion requires. lie does
not preface an unpleasant duty with an
apology. When it became necessary Tor
the hero of Manila to ak severely to the
representatives of the German govern
ment. who were trying to aid the insur-
gents, he did not embellish his protests
with honeyed words, but aimed directly
at the point and hit the bulls-eye with
unerring precision.
The government will not c~riticise
Dewey for the firm stand taken. or the
language used. IF it did, the American
people would sit down with uncomfort-
able vigor upon the government. But
when Captain Coghlan, of the Raleigh,
friends in a public way what Dewey said
to the German navigator, when he pre-
emptorily ordered him to quit monkey
ing with the buzz-saw,' the amusing
farce of International diplomacy comes
in. The German government feels that
it has been outraged, not by What Dewey
said, but by what Coghlan said he said.
1t was not the incident but it's publicity
that rufIied the dignity of the epileptic
monarch of der Faderland. Coghlan not
only related III detail the incident that
led to the withdrawal Of an officious Ger
man steamboat captain from the port of
Manila, but is accused of having sung
a dialect song that placed God and King
William on an equality, instead of giving
the Dutchman the best of it.
Naturally, the official end of the Ger
man government was stirred to it's most
profound depths. A protest was filed with
the American government, and the war
department, with a courtesy that would
have paralyzed Lord Chesterfield him.
self, administers q reprimand to Captain
Coghlan for telling the truth, which, &C
! cording to St. Paul, is not to be used With
too much alacrity at all times. The text
of the reprinland is not given to the press,
but the German government is protested
ly satisfied with it, and King Billy again
breathes easier.
Scarcely has this incident closed before
a letter is published from Rear Admiral
Kautz, of the Philadelphia, stationed at
Samoa, in which he accuses himself of
being a king maker. The letter is of a
humorous character, but as it found it's
way into print, through the indiscretion
of a relative to whom it was addressed,
King Billy's spine again began to crawl
up toward his shoulder blades, II the
war department will probably resume the
reprimand business in this case.
