GENERAL JAcKS0N'S MANNER.
A Reminiscence Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston
Was Fond Of Relating.

ton" said New York woman
who was an intimate friend of
the former mistress of the White
House, "having lived so long with
her statesman uncle, James Bu-
chanan, had many interesting
"reminiscences of him and his
times. One of them which she
was fond of relating" says the
New York Sun, "was an incident
told to her by Mr.. Buchanan Of
the social career of General Jack
son while he was President. MIR.
Buchanan was in the United
States Senate at the time.
Gas Mrs. Johnston related the
incident, a famous Baltimore Ia
dy, one of the leaders in society
OF that day, and related to an
English family of title and dis
tinction, had spent long time in
England during Jackson ad-
ministration, her family connec-
tions admitting her to the inner
circles of aristocratic and royal
society. George ~ was then
KING, and a short time before
this lady left England TO return
to America she was presented to
him. He contided to her mes
sage to President Jackson, which
he requested her to deliver in
person.
"The reputation his political
enemies had made for Jackson
was such that the lady was most
unfavorably impressed, never
having met the rugged old sol
dier.. In fact, the idea of Jack
sonian vulgarity' was quite the
popular one, and there were ma
ny stories of the Generals often
sive application of il in his social
as well as business contact with
visitors.
Consequently, this high bred
message bearer from the King Of
England was very much disin'
clined to a personal interview
with this President of boorish
reputation, but having underta-
ken to carry out the wishes Of
the King, she determined to un.
dergo the trial, prepared to be
greatly shocked at what she
might see and hear. Being well
acquainted with James Buchan-
an, she begged him to accompa-
ny her on her mission and intro
duce her to the President.
my uncle escorted the lady
to the White House, Mrs. Johns
ton related merrily, and leaving
her IN the reception room, he
went to the Presidents room to
arrange for the interview.
"'He found the President
alone. His face was covered with
bristling beard of several days
growth. He was wearing dress
ing gown which was very much
soiled and greatly the worse for
past service. He was smoking an
old clay pipe.
"'It was a disheartening mo-
ment for Mr.. Buchanan, for to
present the refined and elegant
lady TO the President Of the Uni
ted States in such attire and per
sonal uncouthness seemed to him
but little better than national
disgrace. He told the President
about the distinguished woman
who had come to seek an intro
duction to hlm, on an errand
from the King of England, and
made bold TO say:
""Bnt, General, you ought
not to see her without making an
appropriate toilet"

His Insurance Is All COL

Buffalo, NJ Y, April 10.-Justice MUIR
ply and District Attorney Coatsworth
held a conference yesterday afternoon
on the Pennell inquest which will be-
gin at h morgue at 3 o'clock Friday
afternoon.
The course Of the public inquiry SO
lar as 1t could be discussed beforehand
was settled. The inquests of PennelL
and Mrs. Pencil are to be held Jointly.
The last known statement of Pennell,
In his own defense, in which he says a,
woman killed Burdick at midnight, is
to come out.
The question Of suicide or accident is
not to be tried out, SO far as the dis
trict attorney is concerned. That part
Of the case will be directed by Justice
Murphy. The alleged d~efalcations an
ounce as %equaling the total Of Pen
nelIs life insurance have. nothing to
do with the death Of Burdick, and the
inquest will not be a trial Of a dead
mar for swindling, but tina which In,
way may enc to throw light on
the murder of Burdick Is to come out.
Attorney Thayer says he has not yet
opened the sealed instructions left him
by Penne1l. q
Pennel left written riders that they
should not be opened until the 1nsur-
ance money was paid in" said Mr..
Thayer. Il therefore do no know what
my secret Instructions are. In the
sealed package are a number Of papers.

don't know whether the bond drawn by
Pennell to secure the payment Of $751;

OIL AND COAL Are
FOUND NEAR FAIRFAX
Indications That Much Mineral
Wealth Exists in Greg
DRY County.
NO RETURNS FROM ORE
Samples Sent to Washington Have No,
Been Heard From, but Work at
Shaft Uncovers Mora
Quartz.

Fairfax, S. d., April 9.-Ne returns
have as yet been received from the
samples of gold ore sent to Washington
for assay by August Kiphn, who found
an eight-inch vein of quartz while dig
ging a well on his farm.
However, since that time, as a result
of prospecting, other discoveries have
been made which seem to show that a
rich mineral bed underlies Gregory
county.
Kiphn has continued work on his
prospecting and has uncovered some
more really fine specimens of ore. Hun
dreds of people are visiting the farm
daily and these are convinced that there
is something ahead. for this locality.
The rock that comes from the hole or
shaft is covered with oil. and this leads
people to believe hat there is petroleum
below. 4
Other parties prospecting along the
Missouri north of here Saturday en-
oountered a vein OF first quality coal
among the bluffs.
Gregory county people have investi-
gated fully, and are convinced that
these strikes are more than mere stray
nutcroppings Of mineral wealth.

COMES HIGH TOgaE.
Coffin Makers Alleged to Make 1000.
Per Cent of Profit.

Chicago, April n-Striking casket max
ers and trimmers will retaliate on the en-
ployers by starting a cooperative shop,
and selling collins at actual cost. I'he
workmen say they will have collins on
The market within a few days.
The strikers claim that there Is so much
profit in tho business that they can open
a shop on a small scale and sell caskets
at less than half the prices now charged,
even after allowing for the greater cost
OF production because OF lack OF the fa-s
silities which the large manufacturers
nave.
According to the figures furnished by
the strikers, a coffin which costs $40 to
make Is retailed by the undertakers at
$3o, and the same proportion of profit
exists In all grades of Baskets.
