however, and doesn't much care whetE-
q he 10 discussing the subject before a
body of Wall street financiers or ex-
planning the money system of the gov
eminent to crowd of western farmers
at harvest home.
Mr.. Shaw is the unlikliest man
in the cabinet. He is about the last Of
that distinguished body of men who
would be picked out as the best political
speaker. AS he likes to express it in his
homely phrase: "You cannot always
tell from the looks of toad how far it
can jump" So the stoop-shouldered,
is deceptive as to his abilities. The Sec
rotary is in close touch with the soil
and draws many of its similitudes from
the simple life and occupation of the
farmer. He is natural-born story
teller, and his knowledge of common
people their lives and tastes enables
him to point his tales in the most eff
fective way. He has the faculty of
thinking quickly on his feet, and is sharp
at repartee Although his speech is at
times quaint there is no flaw in his
grammar, and his English will pass mus
ter with the most exacting.
Like many of the western statesmen,
Secretary Shaw has the Lincoln habit
of clinching point in an argument with
a story. He has new story every cab
met day, and when it comes his turn
to discuss matters of his department the
rest of the cabinet members lean back
in their chairs, knowing that they will
hear matters of finance calculated by
witty and humorous tales

Colorado is of wide extent, and what

but the old-timers do object to the oc-
cupancy of this particular square by the
government. One of it's most interest
ing mansions is the old Blair house,
which was owned and occupied by Fran
els P. Blair, who edited the Globe, the
official organ of Jackson's administra-
ton. When Blair lived there the house
was the rendezvous of such famous men
as Thomas H. Benton, Martin Van
Buren,, Levi Woodbury., Silas Wright
and others. The historian, George Ban
croft, when he was secretary of the
navy during the Polk administration,
occupied this house.
Montgomery Blair had this as his city
residence from 1854 to the time of his
death, and it is said that Col Robert E.
Lee had, at dinner given him by Mr..
Blair in the spacious old dining-room,
told OF President Lincoln's desire that
he should accept the command of the
union army at the outbreak of the civil
war.
Right near the Blair mansion is tho
home of the late Gen. Beall, of Mexican
war fame, and not far away is the house
in which the late Admiral Porter died.

Scott.

SUGGESTED REPEAL OF CLAUSE

Attorney Barry Mohun of this city has

amendments to the corporation laws of the

crease in the fee for Incorporation be made

but In no case less than SO, and he advises
the repeal of the provision which prohibits
corporations organized in the District from
dealing in real estate. He thinks but one
local resident director or trustee should
be required. Mr.. Mohun also advises tho
repeal Of the clause prohibiting corpora
tons organized here from using any Of
their funds to purchase stock of other cor-
porations. Among other things, he saws:
believe the adoption Of these sugges-
IONS would tend to promote the formation
OIL legitimate corporations here and at the
same time discourage those who wish to
organize companies for the sole purpose of
stock speculation. The fact that the pres
ent law Is in bad repute is solely due TO
It's loose provisions. That the District
should receive a fair remuneration for the
formation Of corporations here seems incon-
trovertible.''
