Ought Alonzo B. Cornell, who died

Ought Alonzo B. Cornell, who died
the other day in his fathers home III
Ithaca, to be SO regarded? He was only
u. but seems already a character ol
years ago. 1t is "a years since he was
elected for one term governor OF New
York. BY an irony of fate, his candidacy
was opposed by practically the first in
dependent movement Of New York re-
publicans. though he was the son OF the
founder of Cornell university. 1t was
easy to sheer at the independents as
them litt'ry fellers,' and they were
badly beaten; but two years afterWard
Grover Clevland followed Cornell by the
largest majority ever cast for New
York governor And what lot has
happened since; and is happening!
Mr.. Cornells death was preceded q
few days by that of Willard f1ske,
former professor in Cornell, whose legal
suuabble with the university over the
millions of his wife. Jennie McGraW
Fiske. had agitated Cornell for gener-
alton. but did not prevent him from
leaving it his treasures of art and lit
erature and much money. Cornell IN
its brief existence has been the center
of more than it's share Of moving and
dramatic occurrences that make
news" Mr.. Cornell of late years had
figured but slightly in it's af1alrs or IN
any save his own fight with illness.

Under the table
1T which President Roosevelt and
Booker T. Washington sat no great
harm would have been done. Col.
Mosby called his fellow southerner to
account in the most emphatic manner,
protesting against such indecent refer
ence to the assassination of President
Mckinley and the melting Of anarchis-
tic passions.
Col. Mosby is now in the employ Of
the department Of justice, and is one
of the very interesting characters in
Washington. He is u years Of age,
but looks the part Of the character he
played in the terrible war Of the eos.
His sharp, high-bred features suggest
the eagle, and are those of an ideal
cavalry leader. He is about medium
height, with hair little scanty, but
bristling and pure white. His grim
mouth and set jaw reveal determine
ton seldom equalled. He lost one eye
during the war, but the other is as
bright and piercing as when he headed
his raiders in their forays along the
union line.
Recently he has received his old cav
airy hat, which he lost when shot
down and seriously wounded in the
last year Of the war. It was sent to
him by q lady in New York, who ex-
planned that it had been given her by
her father, Lieut.. Con. Cole, who COM
manded the Thirteenth New York
cavalry when it came SO near captur-
ing the famous guerrilla.

then, it is asked, should she
have confined her choice to girl
hood friends? Why not?-any Amerl-
can girl would be inclined to ask. This
is not the first evidence of independence
that the new Mrs Clay has given. There
are piquant possibilities Of unusual
character in the young lady.
The two Misses Paul, of Philadelphia,
who arrived from their steamer just III
time for the wedding, are Philadelphia
relatives Of the Astors. Miss Drayton,
another bridesmaid, is the daughter Oh
J. Coleman Drayton and of his now di-
vorced wife. born an Aston. Miss Clay
is the bridegrooms sister. Hon. MISS
Fellows is the niece OF the duke OF
Marlborough Miss Lawson represents
the Jewish element in finance and poll
ties, from which the Astors themselves
more remotely derive. Grandpa Law
son is proprietor of the London Iels-
graph and the butt of that old wittlclsm
about Sir Edwin Arnold, editor OF that
great paper. I've keeps poet on the
nremises,' Mr.. Lawson was repre-
sented as saying. Then there is MISS ,s
Muriel White; and her name must ca4se
William Waldorf Astor pangs. Tor she
is not only an American, like the Hauls
and Miss Coleman, but the daughter OF
the American secretary of legation A
French schoolgirl friend of the bride
Mile. Lejeune. and daughter OF the
British minister to Roumanla aod q
cosmopolitan touch. And the bride, to
carry on the note of wide lands and lar
interest. spent the last few days OF her
single blessedness in Bucharest, the
Roumanian capital.
It's indeed curiousirony OF fate that
w. w. Astor's daughter should make
love match with handsome young
man who is not even little bit OF
lord, or likely to be. She is one OF the
worlds great heiresses. The Astor for
tunes have grown steadily. They have
never been subdivided among many
children. as with the Could and Wander
bilt fortunes. In the present generator
of Astors of direct line there are bu'
three young people; one OF these, the
son of Col. John Jacob Astor, is not over
| strong.

rule maintain voting residence In the
states they come from, and have the
right of franchise. The bona fide resi-
dents of the district, however, can
only show their political preferences
by little shouting, some red ire ana
stump speaking.
Political organizations are main.
tanned which get into quadreanial con-
tests over the election OF delegates to
rational conventions. and then do
their best to show their loyalty to
their respective parties by political
fireworks during the campaign. About
the only thing that inspires their en-
thusiasm is the hope that II theiH
party is victorious some cognizance
may be taken of the miles they
tramped in torchlight parades and tho
number of meetings they attended
during the campaign. They are always
ready for recognition in the way of
Office, and these political demonstra-
tons are supposed to give them some
title to it. Both democrats and re-
publ!cans have organized clubs this
year, and have strung their banners
across the wide streets of the capital
city. It is probable that they have
contributed their little mite to tho
campaign funds Of the two parties.
but their efforts in arousing interest
and enthusiasm in the District OF Col
umbia have not been highly success
full. The national managers Of both
parties quietly smile at these efforts,
and, while they do nothing to discour-
age them, it cannot be said that they
lend much encouragement.

preme bench for "a years, and Henry NJ.
Field, editor, author and preacher, still
living at 81 in the family home In Stock
bridge, Mass.
Greatest of all in the popular estima-
ton was Cyrus. who laid the cable. One
of his sons, Edwin NJ Field, after many
adventures as tramp and rounder, was
twice recently arrested in New YORK,
first as a drunk and next as the larcen-
GUS appropriation of another mans over
coat. Upon the latter occasion he re-
marked to an old-time friend: Try to
get bail, but don't worry if you don't.
because three meals will be a godsend
to me-"
On the same day Stephen Dudley
Field. Edwin's cousin, was demonstrate
ing in Stockbridge the "amplifier' that
he has invented to simplify Atlantic
cabling. Two days earlier the Andre
monument, erected by Cyrus Field upon
the exact spot where Andre, the unfos-
tunate British spy, was arrested in the
revolution, was sold by the Rockland
county officials because the taxes upon
the lunQreQ leeL square VI IOduSluc ldAu
on which it stands had not been paid.
Andre was hanged on October 2, 1880.
In 1882 his body was taken to England
and buried in Westminster abbey. Dean
Stanley, of Westminster, was friend Of
Cyrus Field. Visiting him in 1873 he
spoke of the interest surrounding the
fate of Andre, and of the many who
pause at his tomb; together the two
famous men traced the exact spot OF
Andres death, and Mr. Field undertook
to erect monument; this was done on
the one hundredth anniversary Of the
execution-as the inscription says, mot
to perpetuate the record Of strife, but
in token of those better feelings which
have since united two nations, etc.
Two years later the stone was dyna-
mited by some English hater. Mr.
Field put up better one. That was
also blown up, but replaced, since which
it has not been disturbed. This is the
second time it has been sold for taxes.

avenue hosts They had pleasing way
in saloons down there of mixing little
real whisky with coloring matter and
flavoring extracts and water, giving the
whole mixture "bite" with dash OF
fervent wood alcohol. One green bar
keep overdid the economy, and after a
dozen or more people had been killed by
the stuff the coroner and the police got
busy. They found wood alcohol In
samples of demon rum in several diher-
ent places, and the people came and
smashed the windows Of the worst Of

tunately give the out-of-town reader a
concrete proof of the sincerity OF the
reform. A red hot local campaign for
assembly had broken out in that region.
Under the new order Of things it has
undergone change into something new
and strange in New York.
The candidates are treating incor-
ruptible voters to lemonade from fresh
lemons, milk and soda water. The more
reckless indulge in beer. What do you

in the confederate service, who nveo
in the saddle, and who was one OF the
first to seek service in the Spanish
American war, takes more interest III
the science of war and the movements
of armies than in any other subject.
There was a time when the general
had taste for politics. He represented
an Alabama district in congress Tor
many years, and on his side OF the
house he was always in the forefront
when scrimmage was on.
The old congressman who were mere
in the tifty-frst congress. when the
celebrated "Reed rules" were adopted,
and the most turbulent scenes that
aave been witnessed since the war
were enacted, will never forget Gen.
Wheeler's part in that fight OF the mi
nority to prevent the majority from
adopting new set Of rules. His seat
was we'll down in the front on the dem
ocratic side, but he was seldom to De
found in it. His piping little voice
could be heard from any quarter OF
the chamber demanding recognition.
When his appeal was dlsresaroeu ne
was liable to mount on top OF the
desks, run to the row Immediately III
front of the speaker ana cry, MI.
Speakah, Mr.. Speakah!" in excited
tones. He was one of the characters
in the house up to- the time OF the
Spanish war, when his old friend
President Mckinley, appointed MIN a
| major general of volunteers. He was
so pleased that he never could thank
the president sufficiently and was one
of the very first to get into a blue uni
form, delighted to show his loyalty &c
the government and eager for tight
ing.
He was afterwards appointed In the
regular army, and two or three years
ago put on the retired list, but his
martial spirit is still dominant. He
declared the other day that 1t was
only q question Of expense that de
TERED him from going to the front II
Manchuria. He has discovered thai
| the railroad fare alone from Paris t.
Mukden is $500.
