With soras Notes About Her Famous
Brother charlss.
Through the kindness of the Rev. G.
8. Davies, Of the Charterhouse, Godal-
ming. says the London Bookman, we
are able to print the following very In
teresting notes on Charles Lamb:
My mother was born In 1900 and
died at o. and must have been either
the last, or last but one, Of the friends
Of Charles Lamb. Lamb was a neigh
Dor and constant visitor at the house
of her mother. Mrs. Hume, when she
was a girl. and to the day of her death
there was no name which ever seemed
to bring such light into her eyes.
1t was houssful OF girls, In which he
seems to have been delightful elder
brother. and Mary Lamb often fairy
godmother. Miss Lamb 30 often ap-
piled for half holiday for the girls
on the ground that 1t was her birthday
You know, Mrs. Hume, that to day
In my birthday"-that my grandmoth.
er had to say: "Oh, Mary, you seem
to have great many birthdays" but
I believe the appeal was irresistible.
I have heard my mother say that
when poor Mary Lamb used TO feel the
at coming on her she would say:
"Charles. you must take me away"
And they had seen the same sad sight
which some one else records OF Charles
Lamb taking his sister to safekeeping.
My neither said that Lamb was terri.
bly, depressed at these times.
The male members OF the family,
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1903-10-02

and believe my father also, used
sometimes 10 90 for walks with
Charles Lamb. On these occasions a
strict control was kept on Charles
Lambs thirst When he thought the
distance was unduly great he would
turn and say, Don't you think have
walked pintf'
Ny mother always told me that no
likeness OF Charles Lamb which she
had ever seen at all brought back the
man TO her. She said that this was
great deal due to the total failure to
catch the expression of his face, She
said that Lamb had very sweet and
unforgettable smile which 1t would
have been quite impossible TO catch.
[ remember that when she was very
old she made a pilgrimage to the por-
trait gallery, and came back much
disappointed. She would not allow
anything she had seen there or any
where else gave her Charles Lamb as
she knew him. She would have moth
ing to say to Hazlitt's picture Of him.
She always told me that Lamb WAS
as delightful and as full of irrepressi-
BILE fun aud humor, expressed IN the
same Incompatible but quite natural
style in his life as in his essays, but
subject to deep fits OF melancholy at
intervals.
He was man Of very strong dis
likes. and sincerely loathed anybody
that he thought a mean-minded man,
especially Goodwin, the publisher.
She told me, but l dare say this is
common property. that they found

PRESIDENT BACKS UP KNOX
IN ASKING LAWS FOR TRUSTS

WASHINGTON, January Follow
ing up Attorney General Knox's re-
quest of Congress that some legislation
be made to control the trusts, Presi-
dent Roosevelt today had a conference
with Speaker Henderson and Congress-
man Grosvenor of Ohio, talking over
his own plans for trust legislation and
trying to make them fit the action that
Congress is enabled to make under the
Constitution.
The President is said to have reit-
Grated most of his former statements
with regard to the trusts. He told the
Congressman that he was anxious to
secure trust legislation at this session
of Congress, but that whatever action
is taken should be on lines of caution.
He believed that the states could not,
by separate legislation, control the
trusts, but thought through publicity of
all the stock dealings of the big cor
poTations, or those that come under the
head of trusts, if such could be forced,
that many of the evils would be cleared
away. He stated that he did not con-
slider it advisable that the tariff on
goods dealt in by the trusts should be
removed, as it would be necessary to
take action looking for the protection
of the small men at the same time that
we are dealing with the octopus.
President Roosevelt has been care
to legislate simply against big corpor

full to point out that he does not wish
ations, because he considers that they
are a necessity in handling the larger
of our industries, but he draws the line
sharply when the big corporation be-
comes what can be termed a trust. At
present the United States has no eff
cient control over a big corporation
" hich does business in more than one
state, owing to the fact that each state
has it's own corporation laws. The
President believes that some method
can be devised, so that the Congress
OF the country will be enabled to make
one corporation law for all the states
and make this such that the govern
ment can control the corporations that
overstep the bounds and become trusts.

HAYS APPOINTMENT,

The appointment Of Z, G., Hay,
as one of the appraisers at the
Port of New York, will undoubt,
edly be received with general satv
isfation by his many fri en- d S
throughout this State.
Mr.. Hay is a first class lawyer,
a refined gentleman, and we have
no doubt that he will fulfill the
duties of the high office to which
he has just been appointed with
credit to himself and the complete
satisfaction Of the government.
Mr.. Hay was, during President
Harrison's administration. United
States district attorney for Min
nesota, and during that time be-
came well acquainted with the In
dians of this state. and very often
advanced some very practical ideas
regarding the policy which should
be adopted by the government to-
wards them, On this account we
had hope, that he would be APP
pointed to u jusIgeship on the
bench Of the United States Court
of Claims, for his knowledge of
the characteristics of the Indians
would haye enabled him to deal
intelligently with the many COM
plicated questions which usually
come before the court. Besides
this his integrity is irreproachable,
and being admirably equipped as a
lawyer, he would haye made a
first class Judge.
From a financial point of view
the position of appraiser is better
than that of a Judge OF the Court
of Claims, besides, like Judge
ship, it is strictly nom partisan and
q life position.
