"Reminiscences Of a. LINCOLN
6. ~.
DEWEY

picked men were detailed for guard
duty at the government buildings on
the avenue and other places about
the city. Ten men, with lieuten-
ant, sergeant and corporal, were al
so told off for duty at the White
House, and to this squad the writer
was so fortunate as to belong. A
company of city volunteers had
been doing duty at the White House
for some weeks, and did not seem
willing to give up their places, but
they were compelled to obey orders
the same as we. During the day
our squad was posted about the
grounds and at the entrance only,
but at night men were stationed at
the doors and entrance of the Presi-
dents residence, and none were al
lowed to pass into the House un-
less they were from the Secretary of
War or Navy and had papers show
ing them to be such. 1t is perhaps
needless to say that the President
was very much opposed to this, as
the idea of boby guard was repul-
sive to him; but his objections were
overruled by the secretaries and the
Presidents friends, who realized far
better than he the danger he was IN
every moment of the time since his
election. And thus his objection to
a guard at the White House was re-
luctantly overcome by allowing ga
few men to be about the White
House grounds" But at night very
often these "few men" were not less
than a hundred picked and armed
men who would have died in their
tracks before harm could have come
to the president. And God knows
there was urgent need for these
guards. The city was full of rebels
and spies. A large force of rebels
was only couple of miles away at
the end of the bridge connecting
Washington with Virginia, and moth
ing could be more easy or natural
than a dash up to the White House
by a company of determined horse
men and the capture of the person
whom they hated even worse than
they did Satan. Yes, it is won
der of wonders that more attempts
to capture the President were not
made, but it is not strange that the
attempts that were made should fail,
carried out in such feeble, bung-
ling way.
The President was an early riser,
and the first morning our boys were
in charge they saw him coming out
soon after sun-up for his morning
walk about the grounds. | was
standing near where he was passing,
and he returned the military salute
courteously, and then in his nervous
manner said: sergeant, l would
be pleased to have you walk with
me-" He was the President and
Commander Chief of the army,
and the humble Sergeant again sa-
luted and stepped four PAGES in his
rear, expecting to follow in his foot
steps at the proper distance, but he
turned and reached out his hand,
while one of his rare smiles illumed
his sad but noble face, and said:
"No, | don't want guard, | want
company. Don't you know, Ser
geant, a young lady much prefers
"company" to a chaperone or guide?
Well, I'm like the young lady you

Another Pipe Dream.

Some reporter in the Kansas
City Journal of recent date has
figured out that Governor Stanley
and Congressman Curtis have en-
tered into an alliance in the sena-
torial fight and will pool issues and
fight the battle together. We fail
to see how they would divide the
spoiis in case of success. Wonder
how they would determine which
would get out of the way. 1t is
some time yet till tie senatorial
succession is to be settled, yet the
ropes are frequently laid quite early.
Several gentlemen have been men
toned for the place but the issues
are not yet made up. The state
senators hold over and will vote for
the next senator.
Governor Stanley has made every
effort to place the senators under
obligation to himself and it remains
to be seen how we'll he will succeed
in holding them on the senatorial
vote. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that a good many of the representa-
tives will be returned but there will
be many new ones and it is yet out
of the question to say what their
sentiment will be on the senatorial
question.
No man can yet figure out who
the strong man is going to be, but
the interests of Curtis and Stanley
are not running in the same chan
mel and there would seem to be but
little common ground on which they
can stand.
The President and Mrs. McKin-
ley reached Canton on Saturday
morning, July 9th. Mrs. McKin-
ley stood the trip well.

arrangements to have Mrs. Mabel
Conklin, lecturer and organizer for
the white cross work to give series
of lectures here in September. She is
attractive and forceful in her speak
ing and her work is always enjoyable.

mary meetings to which all women
over eighteen are very cordially invlt-
ed.
The first Of these will be held next
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
in the High School room and will be
addressed by Rev. G. O. Judkins Of
Montpelier. At that time Mr.. Jud-
kins will repeat the address on "Neg-
lect of the Home the Worst Intemp-
erance" which he gave here some

heard this address will be anxious to
hear it again and it is the best posi-
BILE beginning for the series.
1t is hoped that the ladies OF Barre
will feel this a good chance to get in
touch with the great movement that
seeks to make reform unnecessary by
training the children rightly in the
home.

WATER QUESTION
Is Discussed by Board Of
Aldermen
PAY DAMAGES
The Matter Of Settlement Left
With Water Committee

The City Council held an adjourned
meeting last night to make further
arrangements in reference to the sup.
ply Of water.
A letter was read from City Attor-
ney w. Wishart explaining that he
could not get copy of the presenta-
tion on the recent water cases as there
were some alterations to be made.
Alderman Robins reported that he
saw several OF the people who u wa.
ter for mechanical purposes and gave
the val ious amounts which they wou-
Id accept as payment for damages If
the water waS Shut off. Alderman
Mckay asked if Alderman Robins had
inquired from Judge Bcyce what
amount Of money he was willing to
pay for the East Barre water which
was flowing into their brook If the
4 wee sdl nicate asked s75 per month
for the use Of their water they should
be paying Barre City $3.50 per month
for-the East Barre water they are
getting.
Mr. Mari Of the firm Of Mari &
fTo'don gave his views t the situa-
tion and enlightened the aldermen a
good deal on what he S0ew Of the wa
ter system, calling up the matter Of
Martin Brook and other brooks.
Alderman Mackay moved the fol
lowing resolution which was passed
after considerable discussion. THAT
the water committee be empowered to
make settlements vita the mill own
els on the Villa own stream for
the dana ges that may be tione there
by the city pumping the water above
their privilege. "
Mayor1helps said in answer to Mr..
Marrs plea for damag. that those
people who owned the spling water
were luining the interests Of the city
by the stand they were taking in ref
ereucc to the water: that they were
doing it for their own pockets, and 50
did not take into consideration the in
terestS of The citizens whatever. He
further stated that he was in favor Of
paying those who were damaged by
the shutting off of the water their fun
amount. even il each were paid $500
per month, and then show the total
amount to the citizens, which would
thus show what the spring water rao,
pie were doing.

POSTPONED
The Great Yacht Race To-
Day at
LONG ISLAND
Did Not Start On The Time
Scheduled

Brentons Point, Il. l.. July 6. TO.
day is perfect for the yacht racing.
A good twelve knot breeze is blowing
from the southeast. The Constitu-
| tion, Columbia, and Independence
came out of the harbor at 1870 with
mainsails, clubtopsails and headsails
set.
A fleet Of steam yachts and sailing
craft followed them down the bay.
The Electra which is the judges boat,
at / | hoisted the signal for postpone
ment OF the. start until later.
1t YVES evident the start would be
made some distance off shore. While
the Judges boat stood off to make out
the course signal it was evident the
start would be male five miles south
east Of the light ship.
At 1870 the starting gun was fired.
AS the yachts crossed the line the Col
umbia was ahead. Constitution second
and Independence far in the rear.
They stood on the starboard hitch
in the souther!y direction. Capt. Half
evidently made poor start for Law
sons boat crossed at least minute
after the Constitution and Columbia.
Columbia was we'll berthed to wind
ward though the Constitution ap-
parently was footing faster. The In
dependence slightly improved her po.
sition.
At 1884 the Constitution and In.
dependence had improved their posi-
rscas slightly. 1888 Independence
was hanging on bravely, more than
holding her own with the leaders
though hano icapped by a bad start.
At 70 4" the Independence, whose
speed had been something remarkable
for the last ten minutes, passed tie
Constitution TO leeward, though not
pnting as high as the Herreshoh
boat. The Columbia still has the
weather position and probably the ad.
vantage If lead.
At Ito the Independence also
passed to leeward of the Columbia
Capt Han evidently taking the Bos-
ton boat to sea hoping for more wind
The boats will probably be in sight at
the turn.
