SAD EOMANCE IN RUSKIN'S LIFE.
He Mistook Infatuation for Love, and
Found It Out Too Late.


Found 1t Out Too Late.
When Ruskin was 35 the romance of
his life began. 1t was then he was daz-
zled by young woman of 10. but it
would not have been like Ruskin to fall
in love. Touched by sense of pity and
fascinated by her beauty, he married
her. There was not a spark of affection.
She admired the great man and was
greatful for the wealth and comfort he
gave her. He worshipped her as he
would work of art. There was moth
ing hum IN about the life they led IS
husband and wife. One day Ruskin
brought an artist to paint his wife's pic
ture. The man was Millais. He be-
gan to paint the portrait of the woman,
and when he had finished he was in
love with his friends wife. She saw it
and recognized it as the first tribute of
real love that had ever been offered e..
And Ruskin's eyes saw the romance
that was weaving around those two
lives, and he realized how little atfec
tion he bad for the woman he had made
his wife 1t is difficult to obtain di
vorce in England, but John Ruskin Sc
cured it for her, and a month after the
divorce was granted Ruskin stood bes; de
the couple in one eff London's quiet
churches and saw them husband and
wife
Reason Fled and Returned.
After that the name and fame of
Millais grew And friends of Ruskin
noticed peculiarities of manner in him
that could only be accounted for by fail.
ing reason. These increased until there
could be no further doubt that the
famous critic was insane, and Ruskin
slipped out of the world as completely as
though he were actually dead. Millais
died, Ruskin had been forgotten. But
after the death of Millais came the be-
ginning of a remarkable change in Rus
kin. Gradually his reason came back tC
| him. until, for some time before his
death. he was in possession, to large
degree, of all those faculties which had
made him a notable figure in the field Of
letters and of art.-Chicago Inter

LITTLE, BUT OH, MYi
How n LOw-Sized Lawyer Impressed
a Timid Servant with His
Importance.

The following story is attributed to Sen
ator Vest, says the Chicago Tribune:
Before the war there was a lawyer in
independence, Mo-, who was the counterpart
in appearance of the pictures of Pickwick
He was as fussy in his manner as hen with
a brood of ducks. One day he nearly broke
in the door of residence by his vigorous
use of the knocker. The disturbance was
answered by darby, who was frightened
out of his boots as he opened the door.
Where's your master?' Numbered the law
yer, and before the darby could answer the
lawyer repeated his question. Then the
darby replied that he was not in.
suppose not, Numbered the lawyer
again. We'll, mind you, now, mind you,
when he comes you tell him ! want to see
him-want to see him at once. Understand?
Tell him j. Brown Hovey, attorney at law,
wants to see him at once, at once.
with that Mr.. Hovey turned and disap-
peared in futter. When the master came
he asked his servant if anyone had called.
The darky was still in his fright, and with
his teeth chattering he replied:
Yes, sab, dar was leetle, funny-look-
ing name come, an he said dat was to tell
you dat Brown J.. Hovey, de eternal Lord,
want ter see you right away"

GAGE GETTING SQUARE.

Philadelphia Times.
Secretary Gage has taken a leaf from his
tory and replied to his critics by tossing to
them a bundle of one thousand letters
from all classes and conditions of finan-
ciers and politicians. 1t wasn't necessary
for him to do this; but he evidently be-
lieved that the Republican party was about
to make a s~capegoat of him and decided
with reynard-like a~stuteness to compel
several leaders of the party to make his
quarrel their own. 1t is al old trick and
it's lesson is to enforce courage. Every
boy remembers how the great Douglas, in
the face of defeat, hurled the heart Of
Bruce into the ranks of the Moors as an
incentive to his followers to make another
rally for the recovery of the priceless relic.
Secretary Gage virtually said to the Re-
publican party managers: Here are the
evidences of obligations incurred by you
IN the campaign of 1896. The Rockefellers
and Hepburns and Stillmans didn't con-
tribute money to elect me to office, and
whatever i~nsinuating demands are made
upon me by them are based on promises or
contracts entered n t by you. Take care
of your own affairs and don't ask me to
settle any more of your campaign debts"
This is exactly what the publication of
that budget of correspondence meant. h
letters were not relevant to the informa-
ton asked by the resolutions.

GAGE ADMITS ENOUGH.

Secretary Gage in his attempt to JUS
tify his faworitism for the Standard Oil
bank and in the correspondence he has
submitted on this subject to Congress
without anything further has admitted
enough to call for the instant resigna-
tion not only of himself, but of Assist
ant Secretary Vanderlip and Treasurer
Roberts.
The damaging admissions made by
Secretary Gage in his statement and
the correspondence referred to are thus
briefly summarized by the New York
World, which has been foremost in
formulating and presenting the
charges:
First-There was a combine between
the Standard Oil Company, acting under
the guise of the Standard Oil (National
City Bank, and the United States Treas
ury, manipulated by Secretary Gage, AS
sistant Secretary Vanderlip and Treasurer
Ellis H. Roberts.
Second-That the bonds used in securing
free government deposits for speculations
and speculative loans were in large part
bonds OWNED BY AND HELD IN THE
NAME OF THE STANDARD OIL COM
PANY.
Third1That this Standard Oil-United
States Treasury combine began in June,
1897, three months after Gage, Vanderlip
and Roberts took charge of the United
States Treasury Department.; that it began
with the appeal of Hepburn, vice president
of the Standard Oil Bank, to Gage: 'If
you take the pains to look at our list of
directors YOU WILL ZEE THAT WE
ALSO HAVE VERY GREAT POLITICAL
CLAIMS IN VIEW OF WHAT WAS
DONE DURING THE CANVASS OF
LAST YEAR. that it continued with
steadily increasing kindness on the part
of Gage, Vanderlip and Roberts until it
eliminated in the grant by Gage and Rob-
erts to the Standard Oil Bank of the in
ternal revenue farming contract. Secretary
Gage says of that contract pages Il and
13 of the "Transactions') thai on Deem
Der 10 he held "a conference with the
Treasurer of the United States" on the
subject of concentrating the internal reve-
nues, and "as a result of this conference"
the Standard Oil Bank was made the re-
servoir.
Fourth-That the deals inaugurated by
the COMBINE ana managed to the profit
of the Standard Oil Company included the
Union Pacific funds, the Central Pacific
funds, the 500, 600, 900 Spanish war loan, the
$50, OoO,0 600 payment to Spain, the Custom
House sale, the bond purchase of last
November, the internal revenue pooling
contract-in fact, EVERY TREASURY
OPERATION OF ANY SIZE SINCE
MESSRS. GAGE. VANDERBILT AND
ROBERTS TOOK OFFICE.
These facts, it must be born in mind,
are admitted upon the very face Of the
correspondence sent to Congress. be-
cause they could neither be conceal
ed norf denied.
Are the American people willing that
such an admitted state of affairs, such
an open alliance should exist between
the United States Treasury and one of
the most gigantic and reprehensible
: unlawful m~onopolies of the country, a
concern that but recently was before
