who had won distinction in nationa,
affairs. He had gone with Garfield to
the Chicago convention as an inti-
mate personal friend, and they who
assumed to know the inside history
of those days believed that Corpin was
active in the councils of those who
conspired from the beginning to make
Garfield the nominee of that conven-
ton. For Corbin was u politician by
instinct. and he is as much a politician
today as he was twenty years ago.
What would have been his fortune IL
Garfield had not been laid low by the
assassin's bullet it is idle to guess. 1t
could hardly have been more glitter
ing than that which has come to him
now after score of years under an
other Ohio president. through his ma
tive genius as an administrator and
his political intuition. He advanced
steadily In his profession till just at
the outbreak of the war with Spain,
only ten DAYS after the blowing up of
the Maine, he arrived through the re-
tirement of General Ruggles at the
highest military position to which he
could aspire-that of adjutant general
of the United States army. Fortune
had followed him and clung to him.
He could hardly have escaped II If he
would Opportunities showered them
selves upon him. and he caught them
all.
What Corbin did during the trying,
hurried months of the war with Spain
was marvel TO those who knew the
conditions with which he had to Crap
pie and the obstacles II" had to over
come. Day after day and week after
week. almost hour by hour and minute
by minute, he was under a strain
which few men would have had the
physical or mental strength to endure.
He had the confidence of the president.
He was relied upon by the secretary
of war. He carried the multitudinous
and infinitesimal details Of mastering
great army and putting II at work.
For three solid months-days, nights
and Sundays-he was at his desk. and
through it all ne was buoyant, con-
siderate. taetfui, apparently never
hurried and never at a loss.

ADJUTANT- GENERAL coRBIN.
His Work That Of an Administrator
Not Soldiers.

L. A. Coolidge, IN Ainslees.
A word as to Adjutant General Cor
bin. He is a veteran of the Civil war,
but he never won national distinction
in the field. Such fame as he has gain
ed has come to him generation after
he saw service at the front. 1t is the
fame of an administrators, not of a
soldier. And yet calling as 1t must
seem to an officer with a record like
that of Miles, he reaps soldiers re-
ward. At the beginning of the war
with Spain Corbin was scarcely
known outside army and political cir
cles in Washington. Such reputation
as he had was political rather than
military, although he had been in the
military service in one capacity or
other ever since the outbreak of the
Civil war He went into the Union
army in 1862 as q second lieutenant of
Ohio volunteers; for Corbin Is one of
the omnipresent Ohio men endowed at
birth with an instinct for political
affairs. When he was honorahly mus
tered out of the service at the close
of the war he had won the rank of
colonel and had been breveted a brig
adler general of volunteers. He enter
ed the regular army immediately
thereafter as a second lieutenant ~
infantry and plodded along in routine
service for fourteen years, until Presi-
dent Hayes, in the last year of his
administration, brought him to WASH
ington as an assistant adjutant gen.
| eral with the rank of major
Corbin's first great good fortune
came with the Inauguration of Car
/ field. He was a member of the famous
| "Kitchcn Cabinet" which often in
those few crowded months Of Garfeld's
administration. usurped the functions
of the nominal cabinet, and whose ad-
vice, some thought, weighed more with
! Garfield than that of any OF the men

A COMPROMISE VERDICT.
It Bade Fair to Be Quite Severe on
the Accused Person.

THE aueerest verdict | ever heard" 4"
said a lawyer from Denver who was
one of a storytelling group in the
Grunewald lobby, "was rendered at a
boom mining town in Southern Colo
rado. back in 'SS. The judiciary of the
district had just been organized. and
one of the first cases called in court
was that of a fellow who was accused
of robbing some sluice boxes. The evil
dence had seemed conclusive at the
time of his arrest, but 1t developed
later on that the whole thing was the
put-up job of personal enemy. and
the night before the trial the chief
witness got scared and skipped out.
The weakness of the case was un-
known to the district attorney, how
ever. and he proceeded to impanel a
jury, which was composed entirely of
tough and iliterate miners. none of
whom had ever served in that capac-
ity before. After hearing one or two
minor witnesses, the attorney saw how
the land lay and abandoned the prose-
cution, but as a mere formality the
Judge told the jury to retire to their
room and render a verdict He sup
posed, of course, that they would be
gone only long enough to reduce 1t to
writing, and when an hour elapsed
without hearing from them he sent a
bailiff to investigate. They want to
know what the extreme penalty Is for
grand larceny reported the bailiff,
after a conference at the door. Tell
them twenty years said the judge.

by such "A question. Presently the
panel filed in and announced they had
arrived at a verdict. We find the
prisoner guilty, said big raw boned
prospector, who was acting as fore
man. Guilty. exclaimed the judge, in
amazement why, there's nothing AT
all against him. Nary a - thing,
replied the foreman, calmly. Then
what do you mean by such an out
rageous verdict?' demanded the judge
! We'll, yer honor. we couldn't do nothin
