Among the conspicuous examples or
newspaper men being called by the
president to high Office might be cited
the following: Secretary of State John
Hay, who was q writer OF great
strength and virility on the New York
Tribune before he entered the diplo-
matte service and began career that
has made him the premier of the adj
ministration. Whitelaw Reid, now am
bassador to Great Britain, has been a
newspaper writer and editor all his
life, and served several years as q
Washington correspondent.
These two are both frequently spoken
of as newspaper men who have made
their mark in the public service, but
there is an extended list of men of that
profession in other departments. There
is Robert j. Wynne, now consul gen.
eral to London, who occupied seat in
Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet. for several
months. He was Washington CORE
spondent of more than Quarter5of q
century's experience The two civilian
commissioners of the District Of Col
umbia Henry L. West and H. B. F.
bers of the Washington corps of corre-
spondents and newspaper writer's be-
fore they were called upon to run the
district government. Francis E. LeuIp.
for 33 years writer on the New York
Evening Post, and for more than 20
years its Washington correspondent, is
Mr.. Roosevelt's commissioner of In
dian affairs.
Then there is the venteran Gen.
Henry V. Boynton, so long connected
with the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
cite, who is now at the head of the
Chickamauga park commission. Other
newspaper men who served as Wash
ington correspondents and are now in
the public service are Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Reynolds, Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics Austin,
Chief of the Dead Letter Office Young,
H. Conquest Clarke, connected with
the rural free delivery. George W..
Rouzer, in the employ of the senate.
and George E. Gilleland, also employed
in the senate.

was his trade, and he obtained posi-
ton at the Watertown arsenal, where
he is still employed. He and his wife
brought up the girls in a pretty little
cottage at No. 70 Dexter avenue, Wa
tertown, and there the couple still live
with their two younger children.
When the twins became Of an age
when they could work and thus add to
the family income, they obtained en-
ployment in that home of romance the
dry goods establishment of Jordan,
Marsh & Co.. where they were placed
at the glove counter. Over this estab-
lishment there should fly a flag bear
ing the coat-of-arms of Cupid. two
hearts stuck together with an arrow,
for it is from Jordans that so many
beautiful young shopgirls have
emerged the brides of Boston's bluest-
blooded young men.
The REESE sisters were among the
prettiest girls in Jordan's, and that is
saying great deal for them 1t is
like saying that a young woman is
the prettiest girl on Fifth avenue.
They were at the same counter. looked
very much alike, and this fact and
them beauty made them much talked
about.
One day a young man, Horatio
Bigelow-another good old Boston
name-and the son of Albert S. Bige-
low, the copper millionaire, saw the
girls. He was attracted by their
beauty but managed to choose be-
tween them, and selected Mary as
the object of his alteration at first
sight. +
The next thing was to get an
introduction, and this is not the
easiest matter when the girl is
a Jordan girl. Young Bigelow
knew, perhaps by experience, that
he could not win his way to
Mary Reise's heart by any filtration
over the counter. So he wisely went

belled, fearing the consequences when
his family should hear that the scion
had made such a mesalliance
Horatio Bigelow, though, was not
to be put off in this way, for he loved
Mary REESE. He told his family about
it, and his family was beautifully,
magnificently shocked, and when a
Boston family, backed up with $50 ,0OO.-
600, gets shocked, it is something
worth seeing.
1t should not be- said the family.
Never! 1t was a foolish idea on the
part of the boy. He must be sent
around the world to see other places,
other faces. and forget the pretty
daughter Of the humble arsenal ma
chinist. A shopgirl! Ugh!
Young Bigelow was no fool. He
loved Mary REESE, she loved him, and
he preferred her, only too wisely, to
any of the specialized, erudite, blue
blooded Back Bay young persons who.
in his family's estimation, would
make the sort of bride he should
have. He knew his family thorough
ly, and was aware of the fact that to
cross them would be disagreeable. So

he agreed to the trip around the
world, but he had a trick up his sleeve
all the time.
To Mary Reise alone he confided it.
They would be married on the sly
and go on the round-the-world trip
together. 1t would be a fine honey
moon!
At first the young woman objected, but
love finally conquered, and, on the Sd
of August, 1899, in a little Episcopal
mission church out in Ruxbury, they
were wed by Rev. Edward L. Atkinson.
You see, even to the name of the clergy
man this was a true Boston romance. for

Transcript
The bride was on her vacation from
the store, and went to Newport to spend
it. So did young Bigelow. On Septem-
Der l it was time for him to start on his
trip around the world, and off to San
Francisco he went From there he and
his bride telegraphed the Bigelows in
Boston that the wedding had taken
place and also informed the brides
parents. Then they went aboard the
vessel to Japan and let the families do
all the worrying.
Of course there was something ter
rible in the way Of worrying around the
Back Bay. Also out in WATERFOWL But
by the time Mr.. and Mrs. Bigelow, Jr.,
got home the tempest had died down,
the Bigelows and tie Reises were so
glad to get the youngsters home that
they forgot all about being angry, and
the matter was settled.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bigelow went to Nor
witch, Conn, to live, happy and content
ed, and the brides twin sister, Ellen
Gertrude, was invited to pay them a
visit
This was the beginning of the second

All during the summer the courtshir
went on, and by the time young ClapI
was about to return to Boston with his
parents everything was ripe for another
romance. The young people said moth

and nobody but the Bigelows knew O,

dudes that of Officialdom, clearly GA
The side of the Japanese, the count has
been able by his own genial personali-
ty to retain the respect and affection of
all grades in official and diplomatic
circles. The blunders, the misfortunes
and the incompetency that have
marked the Russian conduct of the
war in the east on land and sea have
almost made the Muscovite name re-
proach in this city. Count Cassini has
had to meet all the disgust, disappoint-
ment and ridicule that his home gov
eminent have inspired.
AS the dean of the diplomatic corps,
his position has been doubly trying.
The embarrassment that his nations
misfortunes have brought are greater
than if he had occupied a less conspic-
uous place in the list of ambassadors
and ministers. AS dean he has had to
take a prominent part in official and
social functions. This he has done,
and that immobile countenance and
imperturable manner have hidden any
anxiety and shame he may have felt
over the disasters that followed the
Russian army and navy in the orient.
The counts many friends have out
done themselves to show him courtesy
and pay him honor before he leaves
for his new post at Madrid. Dinners
have been the order of the day and
nothing but compliments have been
showered upon the cool headed and
popular Russian.
After the fall of Port Arthur, Count
Cassini was prepared for any sort of a
blow. That was the sorest disappoint-
ment to him of any occurrence of the
war. He had a special interest in Port
Arthur, as the place was named after
him when Russia grabbed it at the
close of the Chinese-Japanese war. The
counts first name is Arthur, or Arturo,
and the Russian government named
Port Arthur after him in recognition
of his services when minister of Pc
king.

higher up" and asked the manager
of the store, whom he knew, to in
troduce him. Bigelow was then
junior at Harvard. and the reputation
of Harvard juniors is not so terribly
good that the managers of big Boston
stores are throwing their best and
prettiest salesgirls into their com
pany without knowing something
about them. However, the manager
had faith in this junior, and Bigelow

before the Birmingham university, in
which he claims that gymnastics are
Injurious. Prof. Muirhead of the same
university has enlarged on Prof.
Mosso's theory and has made a sweep
ing condemnation of gymnastics.
Prof Mosso by a series of expert
ments with an instrument called the
Ergograph contends that he has estab-
lished the fact that the brain is
brought into operation by every act OF
physical exertion, and there is a strain
imposed upon this organ by physical
exercise, mental study and the play of
the emotions Prof. Muirhead. taking
Mosso's experiments as a basis, de-
clares that gymnastics are the most ex-
haustive and demoralizing kind of ex-
ercise that could be engaged in. His
contention has aroused quite feeling
and his position has been severely as
sailed by the advocates OF gymnastic
training of scholars. In defense of his
theory, Prof. Muirhead says:
Il think that what we now know as
to the physiological effect of different
kinds Of exercise demands an over
hauling Of the older systems of gym-
nastic training. Gymnastic trainers
are often ignorant of the real princi-
pies on which physical exercise should
be based, and our existing system Ia .
compromise for open air exercise. In.
door gymnastics are very exhausting
and in my view one of the best forms
OF gymnastics is the outdoor games
such as the public schools have In their

Philadelphia Ledger, the dean of the

been engaged in Washington newspa-

made by the president himself.
Maj. Carson is known all the coun-
try over by his initials 81. M. c."
which have been appended to his dis
patches and letters in the Philadelphia
Ledger for nearly 80 years. He has
long been regarded as an authority on
tariff and finance, and he has done
notable newspaper work on all the
great questions and issues that have
arisen in the capital city since the
'70s. By popular consent he has been
reveted Major" although he has
strenuously endeavored to keep his
title to that which legitimately belongs
to him. He never was a major in the
army. but rose from the rank of sec
ond lieutenant to that Of senior cap

years service in the civil war He has
a splendid military record, and one

given him the title of major; so they
have supplied that rank, and he has

that he is not general" as no place
