PRESIDENT MONROE.
His Dismissal Of Guest Who Came
With Due Bills In His Pocket.

Down at Charlottesville, Va, one
hears funny stories about President
James Monroe, who would seem
to have been an eccentric and IT.
ascible parsonage with great reluc-
lance to pay his debts. EIe had fine
house and fine farm called Montpe-
lier, which is in sight Of the trains on
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, and
plain granite shaft, which marks his
tomb, is visible from the highway. Mr..
Monroe was not a gentleman as
that term is applied in Virginia. His
ancestry did not belong to the aris-
tocracy, and although he was an edu-
Gated man, a lawyer Of recognized abii-
ity. a legislator and politician of repu-
tation, he never was admitted to the
chosen circle of the "F. F. ""
One of the stories relates to Il lawyer
who went over to Montpelier during
the latter years Of Mr.. Monroe's life
to arrange for the settlement of a num-
Der OF notes which had drifted into
the hands Of Charlottesville bank.
Most of them represented borrowed
money, but several had been given for

The lawyer was man of high social

The lawyer was a man of high social
and professional standing and Mr..
Monroe appeared to be greatly pleased
at his visit. They spent the morning
upon the piazza, smoking and chatting
over the affairs of the nation, and after
a hospitable dinner took walk about
the place. AS they returned to the
mansion the lawyer remarked in an
Iapologetical manner that he must
not forget his duty in the abundance
OF his enjoyment, and handed Mr.. Mon
roe a statement Of several notes, the
interest due, the dates Of maturity and
so forth. He made polite speech in
explanation and said that his client,
! the bank which held the paper, hoped
that Mr.. Monroe would be able to give
some satisfaction. ..~.s
"Tll give you satisfaction right here
and now" exclaimed the indignant ex-
president. you Internal scoundrel!

HARBOR MASTERS POWER.
Some thinE About Chief Crnndall's
Newly Acquired Authority.

Some thing About Chief Crnndall's
Newly Acquired Authority.
At the meeting of the council Mon
day evening Chief of Police Crandall
was appointed harbor master at a sal
airy Of $500 year. Duluth has not had
harbor master since 1892, in which
year the office was discontinued, not by
ordinance, but simply Wy failure of the
council to appoint. The police depart
ment has no supervision over the har-
bor
There was an objection by some gof
the aldermen that the salary for the
extra work necessary was too large,
and that the chief of police should per-
form the duties without compensation.
But according to the ordinance pre-
scribing the harbor masters duties, the
office is far from being the snecure
some people suppose.
The ordinance gives the harbor mas
ter general care and supervision of all
navigable waters within the city, in
Guiding all waters in the slips upon the
land side of the dock lines, but OPEN
ing into, public waters. He is instruct
ed to inspect frequently the wharves,
docks and piers, and keep an account
of all public docks, bridges and struc-
lures that may be damaged or improp-
erly used. He shall also make diligent
efforts to collect such information as
may lead to the conviction of all Of
tenders against the provisions of the
law, and slssll make complaint to the
municipal court. The harbor master
Is authorized to give such orders and
directions for the location and change
Of places of vessels In the harbor as
may be necessary to secure good order
and the equal safety and convenience
Of all vessels, and masters are Obliged
20 obey under penalty. He may also
order any sunken vessel orr cargo OF
any kind to be raised and removed, If
he believes It to be an impairment to
navigation. The penalt for infractlon
OF the harbor master orders II not to
exceed iine, Or 60 days "A

A..oSent Michael Ryan Of judgments
n.,,, Nation Says Idea Does Not
but Thatte National Organizations g
r RcquirementSHoc local Tugmen Know
Conditions Here. ~

The local branch of \ $50,
Tugmen's association met The License
but not in regard to the troWednesda
attempting to use two tugs to ttDle owe
Matanzas into port, as it was genelW tn
supposed. The tug men had some othaal
business before them. ., IL
Michael Ryan, president Of the ma
tional association, said last night that
the rule to use two tugs on certain
boats is not rule of the Licensed Tug
mems Association of the Great Lakes
and is not recognized by that organiza-
ton. 1t seems that this rule was os-
tablshed by members of the local
branch, but has now been abandoned.
Mr.. Ryan wished it understood tina:
he is not criticising the local branch of
the association when he says that such
rule is not recognized by the national
association, for, he says, the local tug
men know best what the local condi-
tions and requirements are. He wishes
it understood also that there is no con-
trOversy on between the association
and the managers of the tugs.
For the reason that it was not an as
before the grievance committee and the
incident, so far as the tugmen are con-
cerned, is closed, although they MAIN
tain that in many cases two tugs are
necessary to insure safety.
The Davidson fleet, to which the
barge Matanzas belongs, is to be tow
ed by the Maytham tugs at this pclt
hereafter. Maytham tugs have been
doing the towing for the Dav; ,lson fleet
at Buffalo for some time.
Yesterday the Matanzas was towed
from No. S coal dock in Superior to the
Mesaba ore dock by two Maytham tugs.
