After few silent and pathetic years
down there by the sea, the household
of Sprague was again disrupted. Willie
Sprague had again come under the in.
fluence Of his mother. He became a
reporter on a Washington paper, then
shifted to a similar position in New
York. A beautiful girl was born to his
wife-1nez Sprague-and the present
Mrs. Sprague became at once an aunt
and a grandmother.

when Lincoln had that able and am.
bilious man, Salmon P. Chase, in his
cabinet as secretary of the treasury;
a time when Kate Chase dominated
Washington society and Influenced her
fathers eminent associates by the
force of her beauty and the spirited
brilliance of her wit.
Then and there William Sprague, a
dashing young fellow from Rhode
Island-its civil war governor and
later it's United States senator-brave,
handsome, clever, entered upon a ca
reer which makes fiction seem tame
and tragedy commonplace.
Kate Chase is dead-she died in the
direst poverty. Her only son lies in a
suicides grave. Her daughters tried
the stage, but did nothing of conse-
quence. But the life of Gov" Sprague,
as they call him still in Rhode Island,
is as eventful to-day as it was in the
times Of war.
William Sprague's membership in
the A. & w. Sprague Manufacturing
company, doing business in all parts
of New England in the sixties, afford,
ed him in wealth the power which
made him at the age of % the gov
ernor of Rhode Island. This was in
1860.
The civil war was on.
Sprague was a mere youth, and one
of the heads of business enterprises
involving the employment of $4,000
workmen. His shops, mills and foun-
dries beclouded the sky with their in
dustry, until it was said, whenever
you see smoke in Rhody, it belongs to
the Spragues."
He was governor-the youngest war
governor. AS chief in command of the
states military forces he insisted on
taking the field In person.

While United States senator he mar
ried Katherine Chase, famed as Kate
Chase, the beautiful daughter Of Sal
mon P. Chase, Lincoln's secretary of
the treasury. With this brilliant mar
riage began the social career which
sent the name of Chase-Sprague to the
greater salons of Europe and America.
Kate Chase in that day was account

ciety Of her own country. She was
beautiful, she was a diplomat of mar

FOR LICENSE
IN METUCHEN.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Apr. 49,
The hearing on the application of
David Gross for a license in Metuch-
en-, at the old Metuchen Inn, Is being
continued before Judge Booraem to-
day. Judge Adrian Lyon is repre-
senting the remonstrants and Beck
man & Spencer appear for the appli-
cant.
Judge Lyon objected to the grant
ing of the license on several counts,
all of which were passed by Judge
Booraem and the case is being heard
on its merits this afternoon. There
are many witnesses for both sides
to be heard.
The first count brought against
the applicant was only tenant, as he
had no lease and therefore was not in
actual possession. Judge Booraem
passed that on the ground that the
mans intention must be taken, as
Gross had stated that he intends to
take lease If a license is granted.
The second count was that there
were not sufficient signers. There
were seventeen names on the appli-
cation, but four of these were strick-
en- off by the court.
Albert Whittier was stricken of
because he was not freeholder; c.
lC. Weber, because his name was on
another license; A. S. Holcomb, be-
cause his name had been signed by
his attorney, and Thomas A. Allen,
Jr., because he was not freeholder
This left but thirteen names. Judge
Lyon then objected to the names OF
Max Goldberger and John S. Hanson
of Perth Amboy, and Louis Klein and
Robert Horn, who, although being
| freeholders, were not residents of the
borough. He claimed that the Law
meant that only freeholders who
were residents could sign. The judge
said he would reserve his decision OIL
that point and in the meantime
would pass the count.
Another count brought by judge
Lyon against the applicant was tina
] Gross is not legal resident of thu
borough and the court passed that.
Lawyer Spencer opened for the ap
plicant. He argued that the Metuch
en- Inn had been licensed for twenty
five years and had always been KEEP
in a respectable manner.
