ton satisfactorily was due largely to
his persistent efforts in that direction.
/" Mr. Wheelock was a warm friend,
if he was, as some have charged,
bitter enemy. He was misunderstood
by some, who regarded him as too aus
tore and exclusive; but he was not thus.
A more genial man never lived when
one really knew him. His reading was
omniverous. His private library is one
of the best in the state. It is stored
with what is best in literature, and his
art taste was impressively good.
"He could talk about books he had
read in most fascinating way. AS a
literary critic he had few equals. In
his conversation, while he would enter
upon discussion in hesitant way, he
warmed with his subject and became
eloquent. In after-dinner speeches he
commanded close attention by his apt
illusions. Mr.. Wheelock's life was pre-
eminently associated with the illustri-
Gus line of makers of our great state
"He wrote his state pride into the
columns of his paper as strongly AS he
wrote into it his strong national feel
ing and patriotism in the days of ma
tional peril. Thus his influence. was
dynamic, altho there are many, perhaps,
who have not realized the part he
played as an earnest and observant edi-
tor and often as an actor in the drama
of progress which we call the history of
Minnesota. -

CROMWELL'S BACK UP
He Tells Senator Morgan He Won't
Answer hypothetical Questions.

Washington, May 9.-"I will not re-
ply to hypothetical questions; if you
will be good enough to ask a question
that is pertinent, [ will answer it. -
Thus William Nelson Cromwell, coun-
sci for the Panama railroad and in that
capacity an official Of the United States,
defed Senator Morgan in his quest for
information as to the meaning of let
ter written by Cromwell to the late
Secretary Hay concerning the original
concession to the Panama Canal COM
pany.
After replying that the letter spoke
for itself and that questions relating to
the transaction were not germane to
the present inquiry of the senate COM
mittee on interoceanic affairs, Mr..
Cromwell met rapid fire Of questions
with prompt arefusals to, answer. d:
The inquiry promised to besa resump-
ton of the sparring match between Sem
ator Morgan and Mr.. Cromwelfs the re-
ports Of which attracted national at
tention several weeks ago.
Mr.. Morgan found it impracticable
to pursue an examination which con-
cerned the relations of Mr.. Cromwell to
the old Panama Canal company and
ices Of Cromwell to the, Panama Rail
road company. The witness said he
was first invited to become a director
of the road by Mr.. Bayard, formerly
commercial agent Of the old canal com
| pany III the United States, to represent
him, but that in order to become bona
fide director he had purchased fourteen
shares Of stock. The examination for
some time then continued on the sub
iect of bond issues and sales, Mr.. Crom
vel answering these questions freely
but his recollection on the subject was
limited. He said that in the books of
the executive committee, which Mr.
Morgan had before him, were recorded
all of the transactions.
Mr.. Cromwell testified that there
1 were no laws by which the board of di
rectors of the railroad could be removed
by the president, Secretary Taft, the
canal commission or congress, but that
! if his services were not desired he
would be glad to resign.

of commissioner of statistics for Min

He prepared a report at athe end OF
his two years of service which was re-
markable for it's grasp of the resources
and possibilities of Minnesota and valu-
able as a careful outline of its physical
characteristics and comparative geogra-
ply. In 1861 in company with William
Marshall, Mr. Wheelock founded the ST..
Paul Press, and thus begun his notable
editorial career. In 1875 the Pioneer
was merged with the Press and became
the Pioneer Press, with which Mr..
Wheelock has been identified as editor
for more than thirty years. From 1871
to- 1875 he held the office Of postmaster
at st. Paul, altho this did not sever his
connection with his newspaper. This is
the only public office he ever held OK

His Home Life.
Mr.. Wheelock married Miss Kate
French, daughter of Theodore French
of Concord, n. H., in 1861. His wife

1.-THE work of preparation is at once
the more important and the more diff
cult Of these two tasks. If it be not
done thoroly, intelligently and well in
every part, the second task-that of
actual construction-will be handi-
capped from the start. The launching
of every great enterprise, the creating
of an organization with which to carry

accomplished successfully, the subse
quent task of execution is comparative

tion during this last visit showed that
the many intricate problems connected
with the engineering branch of this
task have been worked out, that in
many other departments the prelimina-
ry work has been completed, and each
week is witnessing it's completion in
others. Other necessary work will oc-
cupy the organization to advantage for

"Finally, the most important and
pressing question before the commission

"For a number of years requests

Donnelly-Ramsey Contest.

1.-The contest between Donnelly, and
the Ramsey factions, already alluded
to, was probably the most bitter the
state has ever witnessed, and still, in
later years, as time softened the as
perities, Nh. Wheelock surprised the
whole state by an able and earnest
plea for the nomination of Mr.. Don
nelly as governor Of the state. His ad-
vice was not followed, but it was wise,
nevertheless, and if followed, would
have absolutely changed the political
history of the state for the last thirty
years. 1t was an act of magnanimity
on his part which showed that he had
heart which could rise above petty
political jealousies.
"The only federal office Mr.. Whee-
lock ever held was that Of postmaster
at st. Paul, and his characteristics were
well illustrated when he held that Of
fee. An endeavor was made to use it
as club to regulate his editorial move
ments, but he repudiated that effort
with indignation and at once rendered
his resignation. He could be argued
with and swayed by impulse, but he
could not be driven or controlled by
force.
$tTime will not permit the tribute
which I would be glad to pay to Mr.
Wheelock; but in later years, when the
history of this state is calmly written

JUvENILE BEAR HUNTER.

Albert Cameron broke the juvenile record for bear killing last week by potting two. He had left his home near Comptache to hunt for small game, and on his return espied an old bear and cub His dog treed the cub and young Cameron brought it down with a well-directed shot. The old bear, hearing the cries of her offspring. made a charge on young Cameron, but with true instinct of sportsman he waited until she got within easy range and aimed between her eyes. The bullet went true to the mark, and as she turn ed he shot her through the heart.
 After satisfying himselm that both were dead he went to the house, and as none of the men we're there he took his saddle-horse, and accompanied by his mother and sister, succeeded in get tig both bears home, although 1t was as much as all of them could do to handle them. Young Cameron, although only fourteen, is a good hunter, and has a long string of deer and other game to his credit. While proud of his adventure he takes it as a matter of course and does not seem to consider the danger that he ran n tackling the bear-something that an old hunter would probably have hesitated in do- ing.

 "A chef at one hundred and twenty pounds year is cheaper than wo- man cook at seventy pounds, for he is master in economy and methods for utilizing fragments of cold meat, and the waste will be less and not more as implied in your article.
 "The chef is patient and thorough, has a reputation which he is jealous of and will carefully guard. He begins as a boy and roughs it for long period, for in no other way can the necessary grounding be got, He seeks employ ment in many countries, so as to be- come master of all methods, content with small wages in view of the future he can reach in no other way. What ever his salary ultimately, he is worth it, and woman cook will never be substituted for him, except where it is a question of reducing expenses. "The woman cook goes through a course of few months at a school of cooking, and then hurriedly seeks en- poyment as cook.

 Pioneers of schools of cooking for women may labor hard to endeavor to show why the woman cook is pre- ferred, in order to serve the purpose for which such schools exist.
 "Your article says: The first change made in modern London or country house when economy becomes the order of the day, is to substitute a woman cook for the highly paid ana extravagant chef So it Is not because the woman cook is preferred or IS as good as the chef, but because they can no longer afford him.
