trained diplomatists of Europe in conducting
the intricate negotiations which resulted in
forcing a satisfactory settlement of the Ala
bama claims, be put forth abilities which
showed from the start that the matter was in
the hands of a master. When conducting the
business of his store in Gaena his financiering
was hardly equal to that of the average country
merchant; but when a message was to be sent
to Congress thaz would puncture the fallacies
of the inflationisss and throttle by a veto the
attempts OF unwise men to cripple the finances
OF the nation, State paper was produced
which commanded the admiration of every
believer in a sound currency. He could collect
for the nation fifteen millions from Great
Britain; he could not protect his own personal
savings from the miscreants who robbed HIM
in New York.
During the later years of his life the effects
of hard service were visibly telling upon him.
The serious responsibilities thrust upon him
had continued through longer period than had
fallen to the lot of any of Americas public
important commands His trials increased
as the struggle advanced. When relieved
from his cares in the field, he found renewed
anxiety in the fact that President Johnson was
engaged in a bitter contest with Congress, the
reconstruction of the States of the South was
tagging, politicians were quarreling, and the
land seemed on the borders of revolution.
Then he was made candidate for the presi-
dency, and served eight years as chief magls-
trate at a time when the cares of the executive
office were peculiarly perpleXing. He had
spent many years of his life subjected to severe
physical exposure in malarious sections of the
country, and the effect began to show itself as
he advanced in years.

Beginning of the End

IN December, 1884, at the age of siXty-two, he
L slipped upon the ice and met with a severe
fall, striking his hip upon his doorstep. The
injury proved to be OF so severe a nature that
he never recovered from the lameness it pro-
duced. This deprived him of the exercise
from walking, of which he had always been
fond and his system soon began to break
down. A few months later the financial bubble
blown by Ward and Fish burst. 1t was
severe shock to an enfeebled constitution, and
crushing blow to the proud spirit of a man
The American people, by their tribute of
affection, furnished the only balm which could
assuage his sufferings Congress placed him
on the retired list as a General, restoring to
him the rank which he had vacated when called
to higher field of duty as President legis-
latures passed resolutions of sympathy
crowned heads of other lands telegraphed kind
inquiries; church organizations sent messages
of coincidence civil societies, Grand Army
posts and veteran associations rendered words
of friendship and all over the land prayers
were offered in public and private invoking
Gods blessing upon the illustrlOus sufferer
1t was these demonstrations OF the peoples
affection more than the work of the physicians
great as We're their devotion and their skill,
that buOyed up his spirits, so often rallied his
waning powers, triumphed for time over the
disease itself, and cheered the remnant of his
DAYS. But the seeds OF the fatal maady had
been Sown, and Death stood ready TO reap the
harvest With his family gathered about him,
with no fears to trouble him, with the blessings
and prayers OF the nation following him at
rest with God and at peace with his fellow-man,
his spirit passed away The flag which no
enemy had ever been permitted to lower in his
presence now dropped at haf-mast as if it felt
that his strong arm was no longer there to
uphold it At last he was permitted to enjoy
what he had pleaded for in behalf of others
for the Lord had let him have peace.

WILL NOT ADOPT NEGRO
Colorado Woman Declares That She
Merely Wanted to Employa
Colored Boy

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 80 editor
Los Angeles HeraldD-A dispatch from
Denver recently published in your
good paper stated that Mrs l.. V. B.
Ferguson, a grandniece of Oliver
Wendell Holmes and a Christian Sci
enlist, wished to adopt a colored boy
as her son, and that this decision was
much discussed by her friends.
L have made inquiry in regard TO
this matter and find that the facts are
as follows: Mrs. Ferguson lives on a
large ranch in an isolated place and
greatly needs help about the house.
She wrote to a friend in Denver say
ing she would like to get little col
ored boy to help in the house pre-
ferred that he be friendless and home
less, and that in return for the boy $
help she would care for him, give him
proper instruction and fit him to earn
his own way when he became of age.
Mrs Ferguson declares emphatically
that the statement that she intended
to adopt a child, either white or col
ored, is not true. as she had no in
tention of doing anything of the kind.
Trusting that you will kindly pub
lish this correction, L remain, Sincere
ly yours, FRANK w. GALE.

THERE ARE OTHERS

j. Ralph Burton, senat r from Kan
sas, convicted of fraud but out on APP
peal, showed his face in the senate the
other day, just long enough to draw his
pay and mileage. That is the extent of
his service TO the government this year.
And many papers are raising a great
noise at the iniquity of his performance
With no idea of defending Senator
Burton-in many ways he is past de-
fense-The Herald merely wants to sug-
gest to its contemporaries that an in
vidious distinction is made against
the Kansan. True, his only labor for
the government that hires him is tC
draw pay and mileage, but iii that re-
spect wherein is he worse than that
eX-eminent and eX-reSpectabe senator
from New York. Chauncey DePhew
The latter only showed his SNUG coun-
tenance in the senate last week, for
the self-same purpose.
Indeed, wherein is Burton worse
when it comes to that, than his col
league in the lower house, and his viru-
lent critic, the unspeakable Hearst
The latter has already made sure OF
his pay and mileage, and is now run
ming through Mexico, trying to win a
cheap reputation a la Roosevelt by
plugging mountain cats and fishing for
tuna instead of his usual suckers, the
while his hired men lambast Burton
and DePhew and the rest, and prate
about the poor pee-pul."
Again, we have no apology for Bur-
ton. But, beside DePhew and Hearst
and some Others who might be named,
even Burton is enabled 20 shine with
something akin to brightness
