burial place for an official. This occurred
after the death of Maj Gen. John A Raw
Inns, Secretary of War under his comrade
at arms and personal friend, President
Grant. The incident was related by Will
liam E. Hutchinson, who, prior to his re-
cent death, was custodian at the District
court house, but who was formerly dis
bursting agent for portion Of the expendi-
ture of government funds devoted to the
care and Improvement OF the cemetery.
Gen. Rawlins, who was one of the young
est men who ever occupied the position of
Secretary Of War, died in Washington In
September, 1862 1t will be remembered
that he was on the staff Of Gen. Grant
during the war, being first assistant adju
tant general, with the rank of captain. and
aftePward rising to the rank Of major
general He was but thirty years old when
hostilities began. His relations with Gen.
Grant were extremely intimate and con-
fdential The ceremonies attendant upon
his burial were most imposing. The entire
business Of the city was suspended, the
departments closed and all the military
honors were paid to the deceased The
headlines Of The Star Of September D.
1860, indicate the character of the occa-
sion. They read as follows:
Funeral of John A. Rawlins. An Impos-
ing Pageant. Respect to the Illustrious
Dead. The City in Mourning. Scenes at War
Department. Arrival Of Mrs. Rawlins. The
Religious Services. Ceremonies at the Con-
sressional Cemetery. Scenes and Incl
dents"
Arrangements had not been made for
final interment at the time of the funeral,
and the remains were placed in the family
vault Of Mr. Thomas Blagden. After some
time Mr.. Blagden wished that they be re-
moved, but was unable to find any govern
ment official who felt competent to give
an order for burial in the government
grounI The matter wa; delayed so long
that 1t was finally absolutely necessary
that the body of Grants cabinet member
and personal friend be cared for. The
difficulty finally reached the ears of the 4
President. He at once went to the ceme-
terry and asked the superintendent if his
personal request that the body be placed
in one of the government graves would be
recognized Upon receiving assurance that
1t would, he asked that 1t be done, and

was not long after 1868 that a sweeping
investigation was made of the expenditures
in the House, and some of the officials came
to grief because of 1t. No wonder A
funeral Is bound to be an unhappy thing,
but with such an expenditure in connection
with it, grief was inevitable for the official
who ordered it.
The late Senator Hoar made a character
lstic speech when he was a member OF
the House on the subject of the cenotaphs
IN the Congressional cemetery. 1t was upon
the occasion of the passage of the bill
which finally abolished by law the erecting
OF monuments in the Congressional Gene
terry unless they were above remains in
TERED there. The bill proposed that all
monuments thereafter to be erected be in
the form that had always been used.
Senator Hoar offered an amendment strik-
Ing out that provision. and in support of
his amendment he said:
Il wish the gentleman having charge of
this bill would allow an amendment
1t is certainly adding new terrors to death
ever may be the poverty or degradation Of
any member Of Congress, his body should
be put under structure similar to the
cenotaphs now there. which are only ex-
cusable on the ground that nobody is buried
under them. I cannot conceive OF an uglier
shape to be made out Of granite or marble
than those cenotaphs now there. To pro-
pose gravely to require by law that for all
time structures Of that fashion shall be
placed over deceased congressman seems to
me little too bad. / move to amend the
Dill by striking out the words in the form
Of the cenotaphs heretofore provided"
senator Hoar's amendment was agreed
TO- 1t was hardly necessary, however
Since that time but few monuments of any
sort have been erected for government Of
flclals In the Congressional cemetery Sem
timent seems to have changed. Perhaps
great men are scarcer Perhaps family
ties were more subordinated to pride in
the earlier days. and the relatives of
famous men preferred to think Of grave
In national ground, surrounded by evil
dences Of greatness with which the former
statesman had been identified. Perhaps
1t is less expensive now to bury them at
home. The fact remains that the Con-
gressional cemetery has long since ceased
to receive in an official way the mortal clay
OF that class which gave it it's name and
fame. And perhaps 1t Is just as well for
Its fame. dead statesman is more ia
nous than live politician, and the Con-
gessional cemetery may rest on the laurels
1t has earned. 1t will always have its
name. RAYMOND B. MORGAN.

A giant old cottonwood was felled and
the log measured feet 4 inches in diam

nine-foot logs. and one of them broke
down the wagon upon which 1t was loaded.
The tree grew near the banks OF the Kaw
