An Old clergyman in Maine in a dry

follows: 30 Lord. l have been asked to
pray for rain, and do so but thou

when the forest fires were devastating

past 20. years.
The real father of the new navy was
William E. Chandler, who was secre-
tary of the navy under Arthur, who
was afterwards United States senator
for II years and who is now at the

a commission of experts who travelled
through Europe acquiring information
upon which to base report for COM

modern principles. He took their re-

securing from congress the necessary
appropriations and laying the keels for
modern men of war;

in the exhibition catalogues are consid-
erably higher than the market price as
fixed by the auction sales. It is assumed
that anyone who buys picture in an
artists studio or at an exhibition is in
his modest way patron of the arts. and
that he can afford to pay for arts sup
port. Hence an artist will avoid the
Studio SALE as long as he can, or at best
will intrust to the block no more ex-
amples of his work than are absolutely
necessary to buy bread and butter, for
fear of depressing his prices.

haps, had never grown much. The
third and perhaps the finest reminder Of
old days is the Phillipse mansion, where
Washington vainly courted Mary Phil
lpse. This is now the Yonkers City
hall, beautifully preserved; it is pro-
posed to make it a state charge to pre-
serve it.
The Jumel house was before the revo-
luton that of Col. Roger Morris, Wash
ingtons successful rival for Mary Phil
lipse's favor. To this mansion he in
tended to bring the lady, but when the
war broke out Morris sided with the
tories, and took his bride to England.
In the house he left Washington made

names of many men and women prom

Bede used to be democrat in the

he is a republican of equal intensity.
1t was lucky for him politically that
he changed parties, for he would proba-

no reason why he should not repre-

Bede is known as the .'birch bark"
statesman on account of the peculiar
way in which he entered federal poll

administration he applied for the posi-

wrote his petition on birch bark. The
president saw it in looking over the
papers, was struck by its oddly, wrote
out to Minnesota, discovered that Bede

ouPc1S4oAOA VI his private secretary ,
Elmer Dover.
One Office is at the capitol in his
committee room. There the strictly
legislative business is carried on. Sen
atOr Hanna has not been in this COM
mittee room since it was assigned to
him. 1t is too far from the senate
chamber to be convenient for him to
drop in, and such people as he sees at
the capitol he takes into the Marble
room back of the senate chamber,
where he can sit at his ease on one OF
the divans and talk to his hearts con-
tent.
Another office is at the Arlington ho-
tel, on the same floor with the Sena-
tors apartments. Here is where Do
YER reigns and here is where the most
important personal and political bust
ness is attended to.
In the Mclean building, just across
the way, is still another office, which
is devoted TO miscellaneous work and
where three or four clerks are en-
ployed.
Senator Hanna has more different
Kinds Of business to attend to than
almost any other man in public life.
He does not let go his grip on his af-
fairs in Cleveland while he is in Wash
ington, but keeps close watch on ev-
erything. His enterprises there are
complicated and extensive, including
ships and opera houses. His position
as chairman of the national commit
tee is sufficient to keep one man Of or
binary capacity busy and besides all
this he does as much work and as hard
work as any of his fellow senators in
purely legislative business.

cratic party to the
idea of modern navy, thus making it
a national instead of a party affair.
Had a narrower man become secretary
at that time the development of the
navy might have been set back for
years.
Those who remember Whitney as
secretary will recall his enthusiasm in
the new ships and the models which
used to fill every available space in
the Office at the department which he
occupied.
Whitney occupied the big reception
room at the department which is now
used for exhibition purposes and from
which lead the Offices of the present
secretary and assistant secretary. He
had high desk at which he used to
stand while at work and where he was
accustomed to receive ordinary callers
with whom he did not care to carry on
a long conversation. 1t was easier for
him to dismiss troublesome visitor
in this way than if be had received him
in room by himself.
Whitney was capable of accomplish
ing a great deal of work in the course
of day. He never seemed to be hur-
ried and he had capacity for turn
ing details over to subordinates, re-
serving for himself only the broader
questions of general policy. He was
extremely popular with everybody in
the department and he was one of the
most efficient secretaries the navy ever
had.
