Flag Lieutenant Brumby, who is now
with Admiral Dewey ait Trieste, is a
dapper little man, who is most puncti-
lious about his uniform and deport-

officer as ever sent ship into ac

has handsome gold-tilled sword ready
to present to him when he gets home
from the war On one OCCASION how
ever. Lieutenant Brumby made a most
lamentable slip in the matter of uniform.
Up to this time the story has never
been told in print. lit occurred while
the Olympia was still lying before Ma
Mia. One of the duties of Lieutenant
Brumby was to receive all persons who
came to call ON the Admiral On the
afternoon in question he had gone down
into his stateroom to take a nap. 1T was
terribly hot, and before lying down he
removed his Spotless white canN as
coat, trousers and cap. Half an hour
afterward an orderly hurried down to
announce that the launch of the cap
tain of the British ship Immortalite
was alongside the Olympia. Half
asleep, Lieutenant Brumby put on his
coat and hat and rushed on deck in
order to be in readiness to receive the
guests. During the hot weather no
work was done on the warships be-
tween 10 O'Clock in the morning and
4 o'clock in the afternoon. Consequent.
ly, most of the crew WAS on the up
per deck enjoying the breeze They
took one look at the dashing young
Lieutenant and then burst into a laugh
which not even naval discipline could
restrain. The Lieutenant hurried below
decks for his trousers, while another
officer temporarily took his place in
the reception of the guests.

some one has said that Kate Chase
Sprague was the Nine. de Stae of
America. but latter years will have to
furnish the perspective necessary to SET
a proper seal upon that likeness. Those
that have known her in her day VIII
always speak of her as a brilliant, ann
bitious. spirited and daring womany IN
tense in her purposes. interchangeable in
her efforts. She had great personal
beauty and ready wit, am ability that
enabled her to reign in the social world.
She inherited much of the genius of
her father Salmon +. Chase, Lincoln
Secretary of the Treasury, which, COM
bined with an intimate and practical
knowledge Of governmental workings in
the days OF the war, gave her political
power such as probably no other wo-
man in this country has ever possessed.
She was horn in Ohio in 1910, and was
barely more than 20 when sine Went to
Washington with her father, who was
TO take his place in the Cabinet. Young
as she was, she had seen service in

tial secretary, and by constant associa-
ton with him had taken ON many OF
his manners and habits of life and
thought He was impeTious and high

esteem was ONE of his greatest intirmi-
ties and the daughter was not n step

DOMESTIC INFELICITY.

1t WAS the dream of her young life
that she should some time see her father
President Of the country, and it is GER
tain she subordinated many of her life
pEliss to this one overpoweTing idea.
Her beauty and her fathers place in
the Cabinet placed her in the front rank
of society in Washington, and it was
not long before she was using her pow
or to attract the leading men Of the cap
ital to her. Those in public life We'd for
her favor. and she accorded it in propOr-
item TO their position and influence, inn

that came to her in a marrying mood
she Lad no thought in those early days,
and PASSED them away with freezing
imperiousness. They had no place In
the plan of her campaign.
The women OF the capital sine never
heetled. She considered them as useless
as the love-lorn men, and could not see
how they could ever help her to the
realization of her dream. But the enc

to her, and surely counted against her
in the days THAT came.

HER MARRIAGE A FAILUREH
This marriage proved to be the mis-
take of hen life, and it was not MANY
years before she realized it, Her hlls-
band, Governor then and Senator after

and helped her not at all in the cam

was not cast down to the POINT of for
saking her plan, and when, after pass
ing from the Cabinet her father went
into the Supreme Court of the nation,
there to become its Chief Justice. she
redoubled her efforts. She employed
every method known to the science OF
politics to advance his cause. An enor-

corruption of the newspaper correspon-

that the Democracy of other sections

A Successful Food Show.

Since the day. ten years ago, when
Senator Paddock. of Nebraska, intro
duced a pure food BILL and managed
to make it hold the attention of the
senate for nearly two years, pure food
shows and exhibitions have multiplied
in various cities of the country. par
ticularly in the West. Senator Pad
docks measure was never enacted into
law. but the interest thus created in
the subject has never subsidized, but in
creased yearly. That such interest has
redOunded to the benefit of the national
cuisine Is undoubted. 1t has brought
prominently to the front the question
of food adulteration. 1t has thus found
its way into state legislation, and many
laws. some of unQueStioned merit,
against adulteratiOn OF creamery goods
and other articles have been enacted.
Not all of these various laws were ju-
diciously framed or successfully ex-
ecuted. But in the main the object
sought has been worthy of those who
have devoted time and attention to the
subject.
The exhibition which opened Mon
day In Market hall is not the first one
to be held in ST. Paul. But it Is the
first joint enterprise In which the
Northwestern Manufacturers associa-
ton has been assisted by the ladies'
auxiliary. 1t is an Indication of pub
lie spirit that is commendable. and en-
phasizes the fact that st. Paul is fully
abreast other Western cities. such as
st. Louis. Omaha and Kansas City, in
which pure food displays receive an
nual attention.

MIGHT Have BEEN MARRIED
NEGOTIATIONS TO THAT END
WE'RE PENDING BETWEEN MRS.
BERNSTEIN AND GOLDMAN
Prisoner, Although In Jail Accused
of Having Stolen the Widows
Hoard, Says He Entertains the

An atmosphere of romance was
thrown about the theft of 81, 900 from
Mrs. Fanny Bernstein Sunday by the
arrest yesterday of Samuel Goldman
on suspicion of having purloined the
widows hoard. The prisoner denies
having taken the money and declares
that, though cast into a felon's cell by
the accusation of Widow Bernstein, he
still cherishes for her the kindliest
of feelings.
If the robbery had not occurred, the
widow might soon have laid aside her
weeds to become Mrs Samuel Goldman
Negotiations looking toward marriage
between the couple had been pending
week before the robbery. Goldman,
an itlnerant jeWelry repairer, wanted
wife, and Mrs. Bernstein wanted a
husband. Mutual friends of the couple
did all they could to help the match
along.
Goldman and Mrs. Bernstein. accord
ing to the formers statement, had not
known each other previous to last Fri
day. Goldman lives in st. Louis He
came here a week ago last Monday
Where he stopped in West ST. Paul
several friends chided him for remain
ing a widower. His wife died several
years ago. The woman of the house,
Goldman says, told him she knew of an
Mrs. Bernstein. Another mutual friend.
Goldman says, the next day opened
up negotiations with Mrs. Bernstein.
This courtship by proxy progressed so
favorably that last Friday Goldman
and the matrimonial agent visited Mrs.
Bernstein at her home. Here Goldman
says he and the widow talked of mar
riage, he explaining that he wanted
good wife, and she, Goldman says. de-
manding of whomsoever she would con-
sent to we'd that he be fairly we'll sup
piled with this worlds goods. Goldman
told Mrs Bernstein he had no money
but could provide her with a comfort
able living, but this did not satisfy
the widow, who wanted Goldman to
show up some money, he says.
During the discussion Goldman saws
Mrs. Bernstein sat nervously on
trunk which she tried to cover up with
bed clothes. He says his friend told

English Fear ami Dislike.

The G o b e gives prominence this
morning to a cablegram from London
foreshadowing diplomatic pickering and
possibly trouble in the near future be-
tween England and the United States.
Our London correspondent is an Amer
lean and a keen observer, and he is po-
sitioned to acquire esrly and accurate
information concerning the moods and
fears of English governmental circles
In a series of letters to The G o e
printed last fall he pointed out the hol-
lcwness Of the Briton's affection for
Americans, and predicted that it would
come to an end with the suddenness of
a drop of the mercury In a Minnesota
night.
The change has occurred. There will,
of course, be no bloody outbreak, even
if the noble war lords are looking to
the printing of their guns on the Ca
madam frontier. There WILL however
undoubtedly be business ahead for the
diplomats, for the disposition of the
Anglo-SaXon when rolled is to feel for
the solar pleXus of the other fellow
If these days of destructive arma-
ments, sane modern governments nat

possible effacement by the too liberal
use of twelve-inch guns
