when the President Was Angry.

Washington Special to Chicago Inter Ocean.
President Mckinley is one of the few
men l ever met who can be very emphatic
without using an unparlamentary express
Sion," said another friend. He is slow TO
wrath but when he administers rebuke
il comes with force, and is the more severe
because of its purity of language. l never
saw him angry but once, and that was out
in Illinois He had spoken at Danville, and
was hurried back to his special car, which
had been attached to the express to get him
to Terre Haute in time for night meeting.
'sThe reception committee from Terre
Haute had perfected all their plans for his
comfort and that OF Mrs. Mckinley, but
they had been Indifferent TO the loss of
Mrs. McKinleys maid, who had gone to the
drug store for medicine, and the car had
been shifted in her absence, so that she was
left. Major Mckinley did not discover her
absence until the train had started, and
then he told the committee that they could
not go without her Their reply was that
the colored maid would probably find her
way and come on by another train. Mr.
Mckinley said he could not think of such a
thing The girl was in a strange city with
out money to pay her transportation, and
color. She must be found before they left
Danville. But the train could not be
stopped; 1t was the limited express. The
major was angry and caught the bell rope.
He stopped the train, went back and found
the colored girl. then resumed his journey
and made a great speech at Terre Haute.
But that committed and the railroad men
saw that Mr.. Mckinley could be very de-
termined, and for about fifteen minutes they
were more subdued than If he had uttered
a string OF oaths to enforce his meaning.

THRIFTY BOSTON FLORIST.
Actors and Drnmattsts Say He Played
a Sharp Trick ON Them.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Famous actors and
dramatists the world over are now paying
for what they allege was a sharp trick
played upon them at the time Of the death
of Fanny Davenport. The morning after
her death they received prepaid telegraph
and cable messages from a Boston florist
asking whether they did not, want to send
a floral tribute to the funeral. The message
was SO worded that it was implied that
modest remembrance was all that would be
sent. Since then they have received bills
for flowers ranging from $50 to $780, accord
ing to their fame.
Miss Elizabeth Marbury, the dramatic
agent for Victorien Sardou, has received the
latest evidence of the florists thrift" Yes
terday she received q letter from the great
French dramatist inclosing bill he had re-
ceiVed for $40. 4 cannot understand this
the letter ran. Il did give the man an order,
but did not intend to buy out his business.
If he has not made 1t dollars instead of
francs dying is expensive in America
Miss Marbury said that morning: THAT
man sent the same kind of cables to Beer
bohm Tree, Henry Irving, Charles Wynd-
ham, Mr.. Hare, Mrs. Kendall and Olga Meth
ersole. Of course, they were delighted to
send a token of their love to the grave of
the dead actress. Mr.. Wyndham received a
bill for $75: Mr.. Tree for more than a hun
dred, while Sir Henry Irving was asked to
pay more than any of the others"

With Some Remarks on the Proper
Way Of Training a Horse.
The Philistine.

Some of Theodore Roosevelt's admirers a
short time ago presented him with a statu-
cite entitled The Bronco Buster" The work
was done by Frederick Remington, and
shows a lank, lean horse in a perfect agony
OF fear. So well has the talented artist done
MS task that the poor horse seems to DO
bursting from their sockets, the savage bitj
is tearing the delicate membranes of his
mouth While the long, sharp spur on the
right foot of the rider is ripping his hide
from ear to tail.

floor Of a city Office building. ] own horses,

dresses. have had the sole care of horses
on the plains, in pasture, on the track and
in the barn, and this ! know: The horse IS
not savage animal. Whenever a so-cailed
Vicious morse is found 1t is one thdt mas

The process of busting broncos' is to
lasso all animal that has never had man S
hand on it, choke it into submission, clap a
saddle on its back cinch this saddle Win
two girths until the horse can scarcely
breathe, then leap on to its back and by whip,
curb and spur, followed up with wild hall
looing, force the poor beast into paroXysm
of revolt. Then the rider simply sticks un-

its strength. To break the spirit Of the
proud animal is the result desired.
The other way to break horses IS TO work
with them slowly fuss" around them, get
acquainted with them. and when the ami
nal finds no harm is intended put the har-
most cheerful and willing servant man has,
excepting the dog. And If we treated horses
with the same familiarity in cOithoOd that
We do dogs in puppyhood in a few genera
tons your horse would be just as responsive
and affectiorate as your dog. The morse
really wants to serve you; he knows you
feed him and care for him and he will be
grateful if you give him a chance.
In the village of East Aurora there Is a
farm where are kept over six hundred Tot-
ting-bred horses. Many men are constantly
engaged in training colts. and for one ot
these men to get into struggle or nght
with an animal is regarded as sufficient
grounds for that mans dismissal. The super
intendent of this farm tells me that me
entireS scheme of training must be toward
securing the confidence of the animal; keep
him cheerful and conserve and develop his
courage. To subdue a horse and break MS
spirit Is as vilainous thing to do as 10
break the spirit of man or the heart OF a
woman. There are now various morse
ranches in the West where no bronco
buster is allowed to set foot. The horses are
trained by gentle means IT takes a little
more time, but gives you a better morse.
And then it eases up your conscience-if you
have such thing.

BARCELONA, jan 28.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Diario says he has dis
covered that the relations between Major
General Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey are
most strained, owing to the profound riv-
airy which exists between the land and sea
forces of the United States in the islands
The administrative morality of the Amer
leans" says the correspondent, lis below
par. The gambling hells of Manila are
taxed $1,000 each, and the police are high
waymen who make arbitrary arrests and
then demand from $40 to $40 for the release
of their prisoners" The correspondent fur
ther declares that the Americans have mo-
nopolized trade and swamped the market
with their products, rendering European
competition impossible. AS an instance of
this, he alleges that California wines are
SOld in Manila as genuine BOrdeauX.

CLAIMS OF FILIPINos.
The COrtez Brothers Want Their
Property RESTORED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The cortez
Brothers. two Philippine citizens now in
Washington, through Attorney Ralston, to-
day made an argument before Assistant
Judge Advocate General Morrison, at the
War Department, to show why a large
quantity OF valuable property in Manila,
now in the possession Of the United States
military authorities, should be restored to
them Their interests reach nearly a mill
lion dollars. and about forty other claim
ants are in a similar position. This prop
erty was seized by the Spanish government
at Manila during the insurrection preced-
ing our own war, under the claim that the
Cortez Brothers were rebels. The Spaniards
collected several thousand dollars monthly
in rentals from the property. Later on
they issued a proclamation stating that the
property would be restored to the rightful
owners upon their return to Manila But
the city being then blockaded by Dewey
the brothers could not have reached Mania
even had they chosen to do so. So when
the American forces captured the town they
possessed themselves of this property as
part of the Spanish government property
General Otis has confirmed this statement
OF the facts and has referred the claim to

1t will be appropriate if, at
Col. Ingersoll's funeral, there
shall be read above his bier, the
words that he spoke above his
dead brother Ebon
He had not passed on life's
highway the stone that marks
the highest point; but, being
weary for a moment, he lay down
by the wayside, and using his
burden for a pillow, fell into that
dreamless sleep that kisses down
his eyelids still. While yet in
love with life and raptured with
the world, he passed into silence
and pathetic dust. A wreck
at last must mark the end of
each and all. And every life,
no matter if its every hour is
rich with love and every moment
jeweled with a joy, will, at its
close, become tragedy as sad
and deep and dark as can be
woven of the warp and woof of
mystery and death. y He add
ed to the sum of human Joy; and
were every one to whom he did
some loving service to bring a
blossom to his grave, he would
sleep tonight beneath a wilder
ness of flowers. Life is a
narrow veil between the cold and
barren peaks of two eternities.
We strive in vain to look beyond
the heights. We cry aloud and
the only answer is the echo OF
our wailing cry. From the
voiceless lips of the unreplving
deae there comes no word; but
in the night of death hope sees {
star and listening love can heal
the rustic of a wing. He who
sleeps here, when dying, mis-
taking the approach of death fol
returning health, whispered
with his latest breath, II an
better now." Let us believe, il
spite of doubts and dogmas, o.
fears and tears, that these dea
words are true of all the count
less dead. = The record of ;
generous dead runs like a vim
around the memory of our dead
and every sweet, unselfish act i
now a perfumed flower.
Speech cannot contain our love
There was, there is, no gentler
stronger, manlier man."
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1899-08-01
