A REPUBLICAN VIEW

Ex-Postnas John Wan
am aker, made speech on the 23rd
OF October at Huntington, Pa, IN
which he denounced the party OF
which he WAS once leaiinyli hit, as
follows:
The time has gone by when he
machine which has disgraced the
name of the R publican party in
Pennsylvania can dictate to any self
respecting man what is or what is
not "regular' The machine claim
to the possession of the right to do
this is as loudly made now as it ever
was, but it is met with both ind.gna-
ton and ridicule where not SO long
ago it wa, listened to with fear.
The machine in Pennsylvania,
though it flies the Republican flag, is
no more Republican than Jeff Davi:
was.
IF it is Republican to send men Il
the United Stptes Senate to represen
the trusts and their own pockets
then the mach ne is Republican.
The reader should bear in mine
that this speech did not come from
the lips of William Bryan or Davi'
Hill or Bourke Cochran, but Johl
Wannamaker, leading Republican,
and he was administering a wei
merited castigation to his own party

wharf was fixed at the foot Of N Street
southwest. At that time there was no
corner of Seventh and NJ Streets in soutn
Washington anywhere except on the map
of the city. Seventh Street south practi-
cally terminated not far south of the
Mall, now the Smithsonian grounds. The
only street east of Eleventh Street open
20 the river was Sixth Street. Along
the river front of the city from Eleventh
Street to NJ Street a stretch of hill
top surmounted a sandy shore on which at
one point was yard for building boats.
NJ Street cut through this hill from Four
and Half Street to the river and at
this point large brick house, which still
stands. had been erected. South OF NJ or
east of Four and Hat Street were
many houses. some of them iGs ones; but
Notwithstanding t5is the Washington fish
wharf was located there. and was at one
time in charge of Capt. Benjamin Mayer,
the elder.
For years no revenue was paid TO the
corporation for the fish wharf right in
Washington, and not much in Georgetown;
but in 1855 ". A. Wimsatt & Co. leased the
fish wharf right from the District gov
eminent. They placed the fish wharf at
about the present location. near the foot
of Eleventh Street; and since that time
the fish wharf rights have been annually
rented in the month of February to some
good. citizen. In Alexandria the fish
wharf belongs TO the municipality. In
Washington the purchaser of fish wharf
rights may use any wharf which he can
rent on the river front. Washington is
now the great market for shad on the
Potomac. Many herrings are sold at the
Alexandria wharf.

THE DENs OF LITERARY MEN.
Ancient Days When Carrots Were
DomiciIes of Scholars.
(From the Chicago Tribune,

] ttrOn Inc tDic3sO lTlDuIt-D
One of the most striking features of the
modern literary world is the absence of the
garnet. which figured so largely not only
in Grub Street, but even on the Partisan
boulevards-the garnet which was as well
known TO DR.. Johnson as it was TO Beran-
ger The authors of today however could
hardly understand the formers lines:
Yet think what Ills the scholars life assail
Pride, envy, want, the garnet, and the jail.
The modern author may know what pride
and envy mean, but he is ignorant of want
and is ms much a stranger TO the garnet as
he is to the jail. His apartments are on
the ground floor and well furnished. The
ordinary author of the time of Pope thought
his garnet well furnished if it had chair
and half. a wooden writing desk, and
candle. The author of today has his apart
ments sumptuously equipped with easy
chairs rugs, bric-a- 5rac, and library, keeps
a bank account and dresses well.
If he had to write by sputtering candle
in garrett, like johnson, or in jail, mar
assed by creditors, like Steele and Leigh
Hunt, or il he had to secure the munih-
cence of q patron. like Dryden, there would
be fewer of his class, probably. Evolution
in the literary world has done much for the
writer, ard yet the garnet has done much
for the world Much OF the work that was
done in the garnet by the candle remains.
How much of the work done in the easy
chair by the electric light will last? The
plain living in Grub Street was conducive
of high thinking. and much of the best
work Of those days grew out of the necessi-
ty of dinner The making of a book in
those days was a great event. The pub
location of il was still greater. II II sue
ceeGed it was the greatest of all. But,
somehow, many of those garnet books are
still with us and bring prices which would
have made their authors believe them
selves Croesuses. Now every day wit
nesses an eruption of books and authors
find themselves famous in a day. and per-
haps only for Il day. None of them work
in garrets. None of them go TO jail. APP
parently none OF them feel the assaults of
want. They are living in clover. And yet
is the work of today, accomplished in the
midst of comparatively luxurious ease, up
to the standard of that which used to lie
done by candlelight in the cherries gar
ret? If not then il is apparent that the
garnet, wretched as it may have been. had
its good side.

AN ANCIENT GRAVEYARD.
A Prehistoric Cemetery ON n Ken
tncky Farm.

From the Burlington, Ky, Recorder)
For many years it has been known that
a prehistoric burying ground was located
on the Thomas Cartmill farm, now owned
by Samuel H Marshall, down on Gum
powder. Small bones. such as teeth. etc.
had been found there years ago. but not
until last week did the graves begin to
give up the skeletons they had sepulchred
for ages upon ages. This ancient burying
ground is in a piece of bottom land but
a few yards from the creek. and has been
cultivated for a time to which the mind
of man runneth not to the contrary. ana
often in the past has the creek oyeriowed
the entire field. each time carrying away
several inches of the soil. until ROW tne
plowshare tears up the skeletons anu
brings them to the surface. The graves
were excavated north and south. ana are
several in number. over the bones Is q
layer of burnt .ock-burnt nearly to lime.
and they are easily pulveriZed with the
naked hand The soil which covers the
burnt stones is very different from that
in which the graves We're dug, and was
evidently imported for burial purposes.
When Mr.. Marshall began plowing last
week in the field containing this ancient
city of the dead human bones were turned
ND with such frequency as TO cause sew
erai OF his neighbors TO assemble and make
close investigation. The skeletons were
fornd to be complete. but badly broken TO

would crumble Some think the skeletons

/ Former Cabinet officer Admits His
Wife's Good Judgment.


The wife of man who served with dis
tinction as IA Cabinet officer during re-
cent Administration entered a tailor shop
near Fifth Avenue week ago and said TO
the proprietor:
Il am Mrs. So-and-so and don't sup

often
"A good many women help their hus-
bands 10 select their clothes. said the
proprietor.

women. Il have bought my husbands

samples for three suits and | viii tell you
just how TO make them. When my hus-
band comes TO get measured don't pay any
attention to his orders about the clothes

clothes he would not be suited anyway.
The proprietor found that this woman
knew as much as the average man ABOUT
mems clothes and he accepted her direc-
lions. On the following day when her hus-
band came in. the proprietor recognized
him from his pictures and said;
Mr. Scramble. your wife selected goods
for three suits OF clothes for you yester-
dav and II you viii step back | will show
you the patterns"
Young man. said the former Cabinet
officer. II would not dare to interfere with
my wifes selections. Just take my meas
ure as quickly as you cen make the clothes

After the measurements had been made

without asking what style CT suits ha9
been ordered for him.

Who splits all that wood?' asked Mr..
Tiffany.
''oh. the hoys do it. There was roor
little fellow along here a month ago who
split nearly a cord in one day. We gave
him suit of clothes for it.
Mr.. Tiffany glanced at his soft hands
and hesitated. Il am not much on spit

Nay, nay; thou art too tired sEd hove

room and rest, and then go thy way
Sister Aurelia led. Passing the kitchen
door she whispered to one Of the sisters.
When Mr.. Tiffany finally set out on his
journey over the hills. Sister Aurelia
quietly pushed paper box INTO his hands.
He took ii wonderingly.
Il hope that theell find work soon, -
she said cheerily.
Il hope SO, said he, lifting his hat.
Some of these poor stragglers are real
gentlemen. Ada said Aurelia. as she
closed the door OF the trustees building
and went back to her duties.
Mr. Tiffany went down the road briskly,
hugging the pasteboard box and wonder
ing what was in it, Up on side hill a
Shaker farmer was shouting TO his oxen.
Over the fence in the graveyard. where
generations Of Shaker sisters and brothers
sleep side by side. lot of girls in drab
dresses and broad brimmed hats were
playing at keeping house. He hurried by
them. hugging his box AT last, out of
sight of the houses, he sat down on a
stone and opened the box.
Then he lay back on the grass and
laughed-but tied the box carefully up
again.
Three ham sandwiches, two doughuuts,
two pieces of apple pie and a glass of
grape jelly.

of the Spring House was filed with bril-
liantly dressed people. Mr.. Tiffany and an
other rich New Yoker walked down to
the shore OF the lake and spread Aunt
Aurelia's lunch on fat rock and ate
every crumb of it. while Mr. Tiffany told
the story of his adventure.
A few days afterward coach stopped

This souvenir is priced very highly by

MIND" CURE WAS INVOKED
I0RElIEvE A SICK HORSE

Detroit. April 1S.--At the last week.
ly meeting of the local Christian Sci
ence Experience circle, one of the ex-
petts confessed that she had tried the
'.absent treatment" on sick nag
whom veterinarian had given UP.
The horse was favorite OF Lincoln
avenue family. A veterinarian was
called in, but his remedies were vain.
The horse groaned in pain. and the
owner then bethought him of a neigh-
Dor who had tried to convert him to
Christian Science. If she could scare
burglars by 'thought' she could fright
EN- the malady that afflicted his, pet
horse. He implored her to declare the
law 10 cure the animal.
She would not visit the stable, but
she consented TO give absent treat
meU." So she gave the suffering horse
.he- best Thought" The horse died.
Explaining her action TO her brethren
and sisters she said IF / could re-
lieve the horse and failed 20 do IL 1

Afterward she declared that although
the first attempt was a failure she
nevertheless believed that human
Thought" would relieve the distress of
dumb beasts.

Crushed by Cars. M

Harry Cavalry. % years old. unmar-
ried. and resident of Stonngton.
Conn. is at the Emergency Hospital,
and VIII probably die from the effects
of an accident. which occurred at
Stonington this morning.
Mr. Cavalry, who is freight brake
man OF the Stonington division of the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
road, WAS between two cars. that We're
equipped with the Miller brake and ac-
cording 10 the information learned, he
had just pulled a pin. and was about
10 step from between the cars when the
forward portion OF the train pushed
against the rear portion, and Cavalry
was crushed between the buffers.
His fellow brakemen heard him
shout, and they ran TO his assistance
and pulled him out from under the cars
in an unconscious condition.
Cavalry was placed on one of the fast
trains from New York and brought TO
this city. Upon examination IL was
found that he had sustained a COM
pound fracture OF the left leg and was
badly lacerated about the hips and low
er part OF the body.
DIR. Eccleston. the surgeon in charge,
said that the condition of the unfortu-
nate young man was such that

operation upon him. The limb will have
to be ampwated, should he gain suffi-
cient strength TO undergo the operation,
