MEMORIES OF HORACE GREELEY
Some Accounts of the Great Editors
Various Eccentricities.
lFrom the Bookman.)


Horace Greeley usually reached the
Tribune office about 4 p m, and going
to his den" "a very cramped 6x9 apology
for a room had 10 pass through the
main editorial sanctum, where several
of the writers had their desks. The
chief coming in one afternoon, somebody
ventured to remark: Mr. Greeley that
was a rather bad slip in yC.ir editorial
on Temperance this morning. Mr.
Greeley stopped in his shambling prog
ress toward his room, pushed his specta-
cles over his forehead, and demanded the
cause of this sudden assault 1t was
then explained to him that he had written
a sentence something like this: we refer
TO sherry, Heidsick, port, Medeira cham
pagne. and other kinds of wine" as
though Heidsick were variety by itself
Mr.. Greeley thought a second, and then
with humorous twinkle in his eyes
drawled out: 4 guess I'm the only man
here that could have made that mis-
take!' Needless to add that the sub
ject was not pursued further by the
critics of the staff.
On one occasion Mr.. Greeley had vi it

York, Pa, of apoplexy. His nephew, DR.
Henry S. Yeatman. of this city, left for
York Immediately upon receipt of the
news and returned with the remains this
morning.
William s. Yeatman was born in Alex

education in the schools of Alexandria and
Washington. He entered the Government
service In the Quartermaster's Depart
ment in 1851 He remained in that divi-
sion for twenty-five years, and served in
various capacities. In 1886 he received his
appointment as chief disbursing officer of
the War Department and he retained that
office until the time of his death He was
Mason and Will probably be buried un-

two brothers living. One of them Robert

These peasants, he says in paper

only keep from starving by gnawing

make from the bark of trees. AS this
nourishment is insufficient to main

foF years to &c to sleep at the begin
ming of winter and not to rouse them
selves from 1t until the beginning OF
spring.
At the first sign of frost the mem
bers of each family gather in the pa
tefnal hut and prepare for five or
six months sleep. In order to keep
warm they lie down beside the huge
stove which is regularly supplied with
fuel by each of them in turn, and
thenceforth there is silence in the
large gloomy chamber until spring
comes once more with it's promise OF

DREAMS WHICH HAPPEN.
A Robbery That Was Witnessed by
Woman During Sleep.

A lady spending the summer in the
country, some 20 miles from her city
residence, dreamed that the latter was
robbed, she herself being a witness Of
the robbery. In her dream she saw two
men, one of whom limped, in the act
A candle stuck by means of it's own
wax on the newell post illuminated the
scene with a dim light.
After finishing their work with the
trunks the men went up stairs to a
closet, from which they removed cur
tains and hangings stored for the sum-
mer months. The dreamer observed
that they overlooked her most valuable
curtains, which had been placed we'll
back on upper shelves.
Suddenly she seemed to be transport
ed to her birthplace at Auburn, N. Y,
where she especially noted the bronze
figure of an Indian which surmounts
the prison edifice.
At breakfast the next morning she
related her vivid dream to those pres
ent, five of whom are now living and
vouch for the fact. Subsequently it
was found that the city house had been
entered and robbed. On the newell post
were the marks Of the candle. The
curtains had all been taken but the best
set, which were found where the dream
er had seen them.
Suspicion was directed to painter
who had been at work on the house,
who was lame and who disappeared
Immediately after the robbery. Inves-
tigation of this mans character showed
that he had served a term in the Au-
burn neutrality-suspicious. Culture.

and so silently taken in as that.
There was a breaking away a hot
chase, street full of excited pedes-
trians, the combined struggles of two
big officers, these and little inciden-
tails which made quite an exciting, as
we'll as important capture, for it was
found that he was no novice in look
ing through the CRATE from the inner
side.
The going to seed time, always ex-
perienced in the city during July and
August is nearly over. There has
been more of an exodus from the city
than ever. Many sections of the city
have streets where not home in
squares is open. The custom is to
board up the windows and doors
tightly, and the general effect is DESC
late indeed; there are but a few days
more of it, when from the shore and
mountain the people will come troop
ing in. Only few days more and
the summer parks in the suburban
districts will be closed. Several OF
the theatres have already opened and
the list will increase this week and
next. The political situation is in
creasing in interest as the autumn
approaches and it looks decidedly as
though the ringsters, the city hall
gang, and the Quayites in general
are to have a grand drubbing by the
new Union party which has in it the
best of Philadelphia citizenship, re-

take the leadership of his party in
this city, and a new and better future
is at hand. The machine Republi

all belief in their daring manipulation
of politics, as far removed from purity
as are the doings of New York's Dem
