in his head, which he claimed to have
received at the hands of stranger
who accosted him on the Rock Island

in the scalp, and the wonder is that
the skull was not fractured. Drs.

wounds, taking 10 stitches in his
scalp.

 Secretary Tracy never remarried, but with the remainder of his family went to live in Brooklyn at the close of the admin istration.
 There are few men who have lived lives devoted so sngularly to politics who have so escaped the unpleasantnesS of the call ing; but General Tracy seems to have been free from the criticism that has overtaken so many in a very unpleasant way. Just as prominent as Conkling for his party he has been more polite, more diplomatic and moe pacific. Just as aggressive as Blaine he has managed to gain his point in moro soothing way. Tracy may not be as great in history as these two men, but if he is not as renowned, it will be because of his easy diplomacy, not because he has served his party less faithfully or in less impor- tant posts.

figure. Thin, looking longer than he is handsome with the beauty of late years, gentlemanly with manners born of a long line of wealthy and distinguished ancestors, he lives the life of a private citizen now the life of man of business who goes daily forth toA1is work in Brooklyn and comes at night to be gathered to his family.
 It is likely that the political arena is clos ed to General Tracy, for he celebrated his sixty-ninth birthday on the 26th of April and is now on the seventy stretch with more than seventys love of quiet and re- tirement. But that does not prevent the public from looking at a living statesman and studying his ways.

was appointed recruiting officer for the One Hundred and Ninth and One Hundred and Thirty-seventh regiments, with the col- onelcy of the former.
 He went to the war and served bravely here gaining honors again. And at the close of the war be went to Brooklyn 10 practice law.
 It is doubtful if MT. Tracy was known generally before the famous Beecher-Tilton trial but, being given a chance to show his legal ability, he conducted himself in the case with, such eloquence' and ease that his fame was, from that time, made.
 It was as a cabinet officer that Mir. Tracy changed from a lawyer and a politician to a statesman In 1889 Benjamin Harrison, who had known Mir. Tracy in the war. and had formed a strong friendship for him af- terward, appointed him secretary of the navy; and in the four following years the name of Tracy was familiarly before the public
