CHARACTERISTIC OF WHISTLER.
Wanted Nothing Published Concern
ing His Fatal Illness.

LONDON. July 1S.-The last instruction
given by James Mcneil Whistler, the emf
nent American artist. prior to his death
yesterday were quite Characteristic of the
man. When the correspondent called at the
house to-day he was informed that the art
ist had left stringent instructions that no
information whatever regarding his illness
or death should be given either To his
friends or the newspapers.
It has been nearly year since Mr.. Whist
Ter shut up his beautiful studio in the Rue
du Pal, Paris, and came TO live again in
London. During the interval he seldom re-
turned TO Paris. He lived in an old house
which he formerly occupied In Cheynewalk,
Chelsea 1t Is picturesque building facing
the Thames and Is overgrown with creep
ers. The studio is at the back of the house.
Whistlers friends could not imagine why
he returned to London, he disliked the
place. its climate, and despised English art.
Whistler has been in very bad health ever
since he returned to England. He suffered
from some internal complaint. He went oc-
casionally TO dinner parties with friends
but gradually led a more and more Sc
cluded life. The exact nature of his COM
plant is not known. He grew rapidly worse
. a few days ago and died quite suddenly yes
terday.

Most OF the. mental devices for wooing
ways tried to resort to local treatment"
in other words, they have made a homeo-
pathic attempt to stop thinking by thinking
about something else-a process which
might also be called elimination by sub
stitution." But all thinking, spontaneous
or forced, draws more or less blood to the
brain. prevents deep inhalation and bars
the gate to the kingdom of dreams. Any
device, on the other hand, which will make
one take long, deep breaths spontaneously

counted upon as a genuine remedy for in

forced is better than any purely mental at

writer decided to apply the principles
adopted by the masseurs,. who begin their
the seat OF difficulty which, in the case OF
insomnia would be the feet Lying on the
right side: with the knees together and
considerably fexed, the victim OF insomnia
should begin TO pedal both his feet slowly
up and down, with the movement entirely
in the ankles. The pedaling should keep
time with. the natural rythm of respiration.
and be continued until il is followed by
sleep and spontaneous breathing. Several
people who have tried this remedy report
that Involuntary deep breathing invariably
begins before they have pedaled up and
down a dozen times In obstinate cases of
insomnia the patient may need TO keep up
the pedaiing two or three minutes. even
more, with intermissions, IL necessary. The
treatment may also be varied by moving the
feet alternately. instead of simulta neously
though the latter method was proved the
more speedily efficacious In the cases known

A LINCOLN PARDON.
Commissioner Wares Interesting
Relic of the Civil War.

Kansas City Journal.
United States Pension Commissioner T..
F. Ware, who is in Topeka, brought with
him an interesting relic of Abraham LIN
of a pardon issued by President Lincoln to
one David Levy. deserter from the Fed
eral army, and the story of it goes as fol-
lows:
In the summer of 1864 David Levy, a
private soldier was sent to one of the
army hospitals while suffering from some
small ailment which, however, was suffi-
cient TO incapacitate him for duty. One
was found later that he had deserted and
gone home. his later explanation being that
he thought he could recover his health
In due time he was apprehended by the
military authorities and returned to the
front, going by way of Washington
While in Washington under guard and
awaiting trial for desertion he managed to
bring his case to the attention OF President
Lincoln. The President sent for him, heard
his story, and closed the incident by giving
him a pardon, and from here the story
skips some thirty-eight years.
In December last the pension department
received an application for pension from.
David Levy. In looking up the records in
the adjutant generals office it was dis
covered that David Levy was carried with
the word ''deserter" opposite his name.
He was informed by the pension officials
that pensions were not for deserters. He
replied that it was true that he had been
a deserter, but that he had been pardoned
by the President and had served faithfully
until the end of the war. The pension au-
thorities answered in turn that If he had a
pardon he must produce 1T, as the records
bore no evidence of the existence of such
a document And thereupon Levy sent the
pardon, just written by the President,
together with the statement that he had
kept it safe all these years.
The pardon is written on a bit of paste
board about the size of an ordinary visiting
card The writing. though dimmed by age,
is clearly legible, and would be recognized
at once by those familiar with the angular
hand of the martyred President. There is
no circumocutiOn legal verbiage about
it. 1t goes straight to the point, as fol-
lows:
.If David Levy shall enlist and serve
faithfully for one year. or until otherw1se
honorably discharged, 1 will pardon him
for the past. A. LINCOLN"
Jan. IL. 1865
1t will be observed that technically con-
sidered this Els not a pardon, but only the
was able to show that he had faithfully
carried out the conditions fixed by the
President and the pension department cor
rected the records and granted him pen
sion.
The matter was brought to the personal
attention of Mr.. Ware for decision. He
became much interested in the case, and
when the pension had been granted he
wrote to Levy asking him If he could be
induced to part with the Lincoln document
Levy answered that he would sell 1t fol

BUTLERS' WAY-UP WAGES.

New York Sun.

New 1OTk sun.
There are many, complaints nowadays
about the high and ever higher wages de-
manded by English and French buffers in
this country. The grumbiers, a rule
are women who have lived abroad, visited
much In the best private houses and kept
house in the English and French capitals
They are familiar with conditions in
Europe and are apt TO compare New York
prices with foreign standards
The colored butler in New York began
to be displaced by the English butler about
a quarter of a century ago. To-day there

buffers wages have been doubled almost
In a decade and why he is paid about twice

much abroad, when this question was up

friends who pay their butler $100 a month.
so far as my experience goes, IL is i'm
possible to get first-class man under the
sum I pay. The men I have tried who
asked $40 or $50 month were practically
useless when IL came TO a question Of elab-
crate entertainments. They were fit only
for the post of second man.
AT one time IL was not so. Ten years
ago I could get a splendid English or French

sent prices up. but all the same 1 think
the present scale of wages paid 10 them is
outrageous.

highest price paid for "A butler is $50 a

fifty American dollars. And to receive so

rule the English buffers duties are heavier
than those OF butler in America. In Scot

are lower IL anything than In England.
Yet were these very men to cross the

$50 a month. and the less accomplished oi
