THREE OF THE BOYS"
The President Met Them I'm the Wflds
of Colorado.

Hartford Courant.
The last place at which the President
intended to speak Monday night was Pueb-
10, but a wild-eyed man. with half his
clothes pulled from his back, leaped through
the Gordon about the rear platform at the
last moment and informed the President:
There is three of the boys In the regiment
waiting up to see you at Trinidad Mr..
Roosevelt had been up since o'clock in the
morning. He had made twelve speeches. most
of them rather long ones. He was. frank
ly. tired. something that he acknowledges
but seldom. He had intended to go to bed
at o'clock, but instead he promptly an
nounced his intention of staying up until IL
to see the boys at Trinidad.
Weary as he was, he was glad that
he stayed awake. Governor Otero of New
train at FL Moro, just few miles east Of
Trinidad They brought with them those
three of the boys in the regiment" of
whose waiting the President had been APP
prised. The President greeted the Cover
nor and the major and at once set about
asking after the welfare of the three boys.
He always makes such inquiries with
ears ready TO hear the worst The adven-
lures of the New Mexico, Arizona and Col
orado members since the regiment was mus
tered out would fill book that might not
be allowed to circulate through the mails.
but certainly would not lack color and dra-
matte incident.
The first man to answer the President
inquiries last night was Judge Richey, of
Aguilar. The judge is a lean, stoop-shoul-
dered little man, who wears a red necktie
and black cotton shirt. and an expression
OF extraordinary humility The judge
frankly acknowledged that he had been in
a little trouble" but 1t was all over now.
The principal duty of Mr.. Richey to the
State is that of acting as justice of the
peace. There is very little peace I'm Aguilar,
and he puts in his spare time tending
bar, dealing faro or accommodatingly sit
ting into poker games.
AS he explained to his former command
er, a gentleman stranger came into the
place some time ago and was guilty of GER
tain irregularities in the poker game. The
judge withdrew quietly and retired to the
bar. When the judge withdraws from a
poker game Aguilar knows that there must
be something radically wrong with the
game. The stranger came over to the bar
and began describing the judges parentage
with a wealth OF detail almost unbelievable.
aud as he reached his peroration put his
hand back TO his hip pocket.
The judge snapped a revolver over the
bar and shot the stranger through the
heart reign of extreme self-righteous-
ness, unfortunately for the judge was
sweeping Aguilar at the time, and
there was trial. He managed to raise
money enough. however, to make good
defense and was acquitted on the ground
of self-defense
The Presidents face, while his guest was
explaining the nature of his trouble" was
wonderful to see. There was a long silence
at the end Then. with a show of polite
interest. the President asked: did the
stranger have his gun out?'
mo sir" answered Mr.. Richey, grave
w. mo, SIR he did not have time, sir"

BISHOP CHATARD's JUBILEE.

The celebration of the silver jubilee of
Bishop Chatard, of the diocese of Indian
apolis, is an event of interest outside of the
Catholic Church. to which it primarily per-
tains Twenty-Five years is a long time for
a priest or minister to serve continuously
in one ONCE, and when 1t Is accompanied
by abundant evidence of effective work it
deserves public recognition The Catholic
Church has never failed to extend generous
recognition to the services OF its prelates,
perhaps not In the way of worldly re-
wards, but In a manner more grateful to
the recipients Bishop Chatard's career in
Indiana as a citizen has been as admirable
as his administration of church affairs
and both as learned man and a pious
prelate he deserves the public honors he
will receive. The occasion will attract by
far the largest assemblage of high dig
nitaries OF the Catholic Church ever seen
In Indiana. and one of the largest ever
assembled in the West, and the ceremonies
will partake OF the traditional pomp and
dignity Of the church.
Bishop Chatard is a lneal successor of a
longer line OF church workers in Indiana
than that Of any other church. for the be-
ginnings OF the Catholic Church antedate
any other by nearly three-quarters of a
century. The first Catholic mission was
established at vincennes in l7S2. and from
that time a priest officia.ed there occa-
sionally until a church organization was
effected and a house OF worship erected
about the year 1749. with a resident priest
This was more than fifty years before the
erection of the first Protestant church In
the Territory. Bishop Chatard was the
fifth in the line OF bishops OF vincennes
He was consecrated in 1878. and In 1895 the
style OF the diocese was changed from Vim
cennes to Indianapolis. From the small
beginning more than 80 years ago the
church has grown to a membership, includ-
ing adults and children. of 10000 A large
part OF this growth has been during Bishop
Chatards administration of this diocese
and during the same period the number OF
churches and schools has greatly increased.

A Chicago high school principal has
swept Shakespeare off the board. He says
the author of Hamlet was a cheap puns-
ter, whose jokes were often shady, whose
wit is weak, whose language is behind the
times, whose spelling, morals and grammar
are all bad, and whose standards are not
high enough for present-day students to
follow. He knows modern writer's whose
books make far better reading for youth
full minds than the works of the old writ
ers. He would, for instance, like to see
that beautiful story, '.Alice of Old Vim
cennes," introduced in the schools. Being
school principal, no doubt he will see
that the book is introduced into the schools
under his authority, and the demoralizing
Shakespeare cast out. Thus it is that In
diana literature is gradually coming to its
own.

A city contemporary publishes a story
from its Washington correspondent to the
effect that Hon. James n. Tyner prevented
the nomination of James G. Blaine as the
Republican candidate for President, at Gin
cinnati. in 1876. The story is that Tyner
had personal grudge against Blaine. 1t
goes on:
Indiana had thirty delegates In that con-
vention and General Tyner was the dele
gate at large. The delegation was held in
line by General Tyner for Governor Morton
long after IL became apparent that Morton
could not be nominated once the late
Richard w. Thompson arose 10 withdraw
Mortons name, but Tyner persuaded him
not to do so. A deal was finally arranged,
chiefly through General Tyner's influence.
whereby twenty-five of the Indiana dele
gates withdrew from Morton and voted
for Hayes, which broke the deadlock.
This is largely fanciful. and it attributes
great deal too much political influence to
Mr.. Tyner. He was one of four delegates
at large to the Cincinnati convention, the
other three being Hon. Richard w. Thomp-
son, Hon. Will Cumback and Hon. Thomas
NJ. Browne. These were not men to be
swayed by Mr.. Tyner. The district dele
like William Heilman. Simon Stansifer,
Asbury Steele, Judge James A Frazier
and others not easily led or swayed.
The Indiana delegation at Cincinnati was
not the cause of Blaines oefeat in the con-
vention. There were other more potent in
fiuences. Simon Cameron, chairman of the
Pennsylvania delegation, was unalterably
opposed to Blaine and held the Pennsyl-
vania delegation in line for Hartranft. The
New York delegation was opposed to Blaine
and solid for Roscoe Conkling. On the first
ballot Blaine had 2S5 votes, Morton 125
Conkling 80. Hartranft IS. On the sixth
ballot Blaine had increased to 30S votes,
Morton fell off 70 IS. Conkling to 81 and
Hartranft to so. Hayes had increased from
81 on the first ballot to 113 on the sixth.
not begin with Indiana. which was some
distance down the alphabetical list. On the
seventh ballot Arkansas transferred it's
vote from Morton to Blaine, and Florida
did the same. When Indiana was reached
Mr.. Cumback, chairman of the delegation,
of Morton and cast % votes for Hayes and
five for Bristow. When Kentucky was
called on this ballot the name Of Bristow
was withdrawn and her vote was cast for
Hayes. That settled it, and Hayes was
nominated. Colonel Thompson was not
chairman of the Indiana delegation, and
would have had no authority to withdraw
the name of Morton. There were stronger
men in the Indiana delegation than Mr.
Tyner, and there were ADLER political man
ayers in the convention opposed to Blaine
than any in the Indiana delegation, Of
whom Senator Cameron was chief. 1t is
not a matter of much Importance, but the
truth Of history might as we'll be preserved
Mr.. Tyner was not a potent factor in the
defeat Of Blaine for the nomination.
