THE HARTMAN LETTER.
Alleged to Have Written that he Did
What he Did at the Presidents
Request.

New York, April "A sensation
was created here to-day by the pub
lication of a letter written in Decem-
Der, 1905, and addressed to Mr.. Sid
ney Webster, of New York, and sigh
ed "E. II. Hartmann
Sidney Webster is a lawyer and
writer on political subjects. His wife
is sister Of Stuyvesant Fish, who
lost the presidency of the Illinois
Central Railroad a few months ago,
after antagonizing Mr.. Hartman.
Following is the portion of the letter
referring to his relations with Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the campaign Of
1904:
"As to my political instincts to
which you refer in your letter of De-
ccmber 81, I am quite sure T have
none, and my being made at all pro-
minent in the political situation is
entirely due to President Roosevelt
and because Of my taking an active
part in the autumn Of 1904, at his rc-
quest, and his taking advantage of
conditions then created to further
his own interests. If it had been a
premcditated plot it could not have
been better started or carried out.

"About a week before the election
in the autumn Of 1901, when il looked
certain that. the state ticket would
go Democratic and was doubtful as
to Roosevelt himself, he, the Prcsi-
dent, sent me request to go TO
Washington to confer upon the poll

stood the campaign could not be sue

money, and asked if I would help
them in raising the necessary funds,
as the national committee, under con-
troll of Chairman Cortelyou, had ut
terly failed of obtaining them, and
there was large amount due from
them to the New York state commit

matters could be adjusted and the
different contcnding elements in the
party brought into alliance again.
We talked over what could be done
for Dcpcw, and finally he agreed if
found necessary he would appoint
him as ambassador to Paris.
How Money was Raised.
"With full belief that lie, the pres

to carry New York state that $780,
600 should be raised at once, and if
he would help I would subscribe $780,

Lincoln and the Lad.

OCCASION TO call upon President Lincoln
with the late Senator Henry Wilson,
upon an errand of a public nature in
which we were mutually interested,
writes Ex-Governor Rice in his memo
rial volume. We were Obliged 10 wait
some time in the anteroom before we
could be received, and when at length
the door was opened to us, small
lad, perhaps ten or twelve years old,
who had been waiting for admission
several days without success, slipped
in between us and approached the
President in advance. The latter gave
brief salution, and turning immediate
ly to the lad, said, "And who is the
little boy?" The boy soon told his
story, which was in substance that he
had come TO Washington seeking EN-
ployment as a page in the House of
Representatives, and he wished the
President to give him such an ap-
pointment.
To this the President replied that
such appointments were not at his
disposal, and that application must be
made to the door-keeper of the House
at the Capitol. But, SIR" said the
lad, still undaunted, Il am good boy,
and have a letter from my mother,
and one from the supervisors of my
town, and one from my Sunday school
teacher.an d they all told me that !

Opera:Singers Niggardly.

This is actually the golden age for
first-class singers, and not one seems
to pause in the mad rush for gain.
Some great artists" are very small
men, almost invisible TO the naked
eye so far as nobility of charater Is
concerned. Their illimitable and in
satible. greed nearly paralyzes us.
There are first-rate singers just now;
but there are also fashionable hum
bugs. One singer said the other day
that her repertoire consisted of fiji
ty-two grand operas, and she did not
know the night she might be called
upon to appear in any one OF them.
One writer has it: LAS a matter OF
plain fact, the average grand opera
singer is the canniest and most mig
gardly creature that ever put signatur
to contract. No dealer in old rags,
canned milk, or rubber boots is so
grasping, so captious in money matter
as these singers of great roles who
claim temperament as their BIRTH
right and genius as their special gifts
from heaven" One impresario has it;

REVIVAL OF The
ANCIENT SUNDIAL.
Timekeeper Reappears In
More Improved
Form.

In many old English gardens the
sundial of our forefathers may still
be seen in its primitive form, and be-
fore the civil war they were to be
found beside some of the most an
cient of the colonial mansions of Mary
land and Virginia. Almost all of the
American garden dials, however, were
wrought in the prolonged struggle be-
tween the Northern and South
ern States. These were all old-fash-
toned sundials, brought over by the
colonists during the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. They did not
differ essentially from those construct
ed in the earliest recorded ages OF
mankind. BY such instruments the
Egyptians, the Chaldeans and the He
brews had measured and divided the
hours of the day. The Greeks bor-
rowed this primitive sundial from thei
eastern neighbors, and it was introduce
ed into Rome during the first Punic
war.
The passing of the picturesque sun
dial has been lamented by many po-
cts. novelists and essayists, who while
admitting the superiority of the clock,
deplore the disappearance of its an
cient rival. IF it's business use" OBJ
serves one author of eminence, "be
superseded by more elaborate inven-
tions, it's moral use, its beauty, might
have pleased for it's continuance. II
spoke of moderate labor-of pleasure
not protracted after sunset-of tenn

primitive clock-the horologe OF the
