PEOPLE OF NOTE.
Mr. ChandIer,s nirthday.

One day this week Hon. William Eaton
Chandler will celebrate his birthday. He
will not state just what day it is. for
reasons Of his own. though be declares
that when the day arrives be win be
seventy-one years old. While the distn-
guished New Hampshire statesmans word
is as good as his bond with everybody
who knows him. few viii believe that he
has reached his seventy-first mile post
in the merry journey he is making
through life 1t is true that his name
and fame are bound up in the country $
political record Of the past half century,
but in spite Of that Mr.. Chandler is still
looked upon and thought of as a young
man. His first visit 10 Washington was
made while Franklin Pierce was Presi-
dent Mr. Chandler has been conspicu-
ously identified since that time with
affairs that have centered at the Capital
His first Office responsibility here was as
an Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury.
He was secretary Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee in 1876, and knows more
about the details of that remarkable
Presidential campaign than any man
alive. He talks no more interestingly on
any subject than that of how Samuel J.
1ilden was kept out of the Presidency.
he is presumed TO have written the fun
details Of this affair, TO be published after
his death. He was Secretary of the Navy
in President Arthurs Cabinet, and Il the
new navy's paternity could be traced it
would lead very close TO the door Of Mr
Chandler. lie served two and a half
terms in the Senate from New Hampshire,
and was defeated for reelection by the
Boston and Maine Railroad President
Mckinley then appointed him chairman
OF the Spanish Treaty Claims Commits
sion. which position he now holds by ap-
pointment OF President Roosevelt.
The tenure of this commission, by the
terms Of the law creating II, is for only
six months. but the President can extend
its life at his pleasure When, last spring
Mr.. Chandler became involved In "A char
acteristicany sensational dispute with
President Roosevelt over certain negOtia-
lions the New Hampshire statesman had
carried on between the White House and
Senator Tillman on Tailroad-Tate legisla-
ton, II was generally predicted that he
would not be reappoiuted 10 the commission
at the next expiration Of his six months
term. But the President magnanimOusly
overlooked the slight difficulty he had
with Mr.. Chandler and gave him a new
appointment only a few months ago. No
body is missed from the Senate as much
as Mr.. Chandler. While he was a mem
Der Of that staid and august body he
could always be depended upon 10 stir
up the animals and provoke a jolly
rumpus just when the proceedings prom
sed TO be most undressing. AS "a
rumpus- maker he has no superior and
few equals And nobody enjoys the fun
of "A TUmrsUS as mitch as Mr. ChandIer
Il is probably this quality Of his character
that has preserved his youth. Peace is
oppressive TO him.

From the Boston Herald
1t Is cynieaIIy observed that Mr.. Bryce
doesn't play tennis. 1t is not TO be as
sumed. however, that his sixty-eight years
have exhausted his physical energies or
his fondness for exercise in the open His
favorite recreation is climbing,
and he is president of the English Alpine
Club. Tennis is a feeble game compared
with shining UP the Alps.

Newspapers Notices.

An enterprising manager Of a clipping
bureau makes an interesting comparison
regarding the number of articles printed
in American newspapers about the deaths
Of prominent men. His figures show that
no other man who has died in the past
fifteen years had so much printed about
him In the newspapers as President Nc
kinley. II is a curious fact that Carl
Schurz ranks next to Mckinley in this
regard. there already having been gath
cred rom the American newspaper. press
concerning his death and career some
thing over 12900 separate comments. John
Hay and Joseph jefferson, the actor. had
1000 each, and Mark Hanna 5000. The
compiler Of these figures also is response
ble for the interesting statement that CON
trary to general belief the city OF Wash
ington is not the best or heaviest patron
of the clipping bureaus. Il is natural to
infer that because so many Of the coun-
try's famous men are assembled here
every year the clipping bureaus would
secure a greater number of clients in
Washington than in any other city of the
country. But 1t appears that New York
Pittsburg. and Chicago head the list Of
patrons in the order named. Obviously
the nations statesmen are not as anxious
10 know what the newspapers are saying
about them as are the captains Of in
dustry, the kings Of finance, the railroad
magnates. &c. The falling off In patron
age here has been especially noticed since
the cOntumaciOus muck-raker got hold of
the public ear.
