SUGGESTIONS IN ORDER.

There are none, in the lower valley

Of opinion among these gentlemen is
that the jam at Warrior Rock is

the commercial activities of live sea-
port such as Portland, Any rational
scheme of remedy should be accept
able at a juncture of this sort, -
pecially as it is likely to happen a.
any time during the winter; and It
occurs to us that expediency demands
that the Port Of Portland should put
itself in instant touch with the situa
ton and make provision against the
losses incident to such visitations. The
very state itself should contribute to
the release from such embarrassing
conditions since the extraordinary de-
lays iii every channel OF business r.
act heavily and with inestimable loss
for every single hour of the tie-up. \
practical solution of the grave trouble
might be found in the immediate con-
struction Of powerful breaking
steamer, such as are used on the s..
Lawrence river, and all the navigab!e
waters of the north. on the Great
Lakes and their tributaries, and with
marked success in keeping the cur
rent commerce of the frigid districts
wide open. The vessel would be cost
ly, both in construction and in op-
Grafton, but that element would soon
merge itself in the infinite gains that
would follow its ready service at such
periods of lavish loss as now prevails.
And, again, the item Of first cost III
such venture might be materially ii
minished by building the steamer upon
such plans and lines as would make
her a valuable fire boat for harbor
duty at the metropolis; and as a new
fire-steamer is among the early pub
lie needs Of the port up there, such
a combination would be very effective.
The combinations might, in reason, be
made detachable, when a change Of
service became necessary, so that one
equipment would not interfere with
the other and could be slowed ashore
during the pressing claims of either
particular line of duty, and, to be as
saving as possible in the investment,

New Orleans Cities of the Dead.


New Orleans has several miniature
cities within it's boundaries, and they
are the cities of the dead,' said
Louis w. LIE Branc of the Crescent
City
Il mean," he explained, that every
cemetery in New Orleans is a minia-
ture city. They are built above the
ground and laid out in streets, just
cs the larger city. Every house is of
marble and some of the tombs are
miniature. In them are buried many
men who won fame under the domin-
ion of Spain and France In them, too,
are to be found inscriptions that tell
of sweet Creole romances, such as
that of Jeanne Laclede, the popular
singer of nearly century ago, who
died of q broken heart.
Certain days are set apart, accord
ing to the old French Catholic Gus
tom for visiting these miniature cit
les, and on these days they are crowd
ed all day long. AS they were built
SO long ago they are now in the CEN
ter of the city and at night low weird

sary to build the cemeteries above the
ground, because of the fact that the

Who Have

OF All tbe Charming aDd Stately NfstresseS Of
the White House, Mrs. Grover Cleveland
Is the Only One Now Afvf7ge

The passing of Mrs. William Nc
Kinley appreciably depleted the list of
surviving White House ladies', to the
point that they have become almost
as few as living ex-presidents-and of
this latter there is only one. While
Mrs. Mckinley, by reason of the con-
tinuing illness which had for many
years beset her, could scarcely be
looked upon as an active figure in
social life at the executive mansion,
her influence on the American nation,
through the thoroughly sympathetic
relations she enjoyed with her hus-
band, was not slight.
There have, in the course of our
comparatively very brief history, been
gay White Houses and quiet White
Houses. To the latter class belong
tIge administrations of William Nc
Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt and of

to stoutness, but, withal, fine looking
and self-possessed."
1t was the proudest day of Mrs.
Lincolns life. Laura C. Holloway, in
speaking of the influence of Mrs. Lin
coin of official America, is inclined to
the belief that much of unfortunate
effect was due to Mrs Lincoln's lack
of tact.
Plucky Dolly Madison.
OF a happier tone was the White
House experience of Dorothy Payne
Madison, wife of the president of
that name. Her family came from
Virginia. and she, herself, despite the
fact of her North Carolina birth, al
ways took pride in referring to her.
self as a daughter of the Old Do
minion. When her family removed to
Philadelphia and joined the Quaker
sect, Mistress Dorothy was brought
up in that severe doctrine. She mar
ried, very young, John Todd, a Phila-
delphia lawyer, and was widow at
%. Her second marriage-to the
then Congressman Madison-took
place less than a year after the death
of Mr.. Todd.
Mrs. Madison's disposition was OF
the sunniest. She proved an inval.

tory, Washington was little less than
wilderness. Steamboats, were just
coming in, railroads were unknown
| Five hundred mile trips on horse
back were frequently taken, even by
women. The times were rough. Mrs
Madison, however, with the softenine
| influences which were hers from
birth, made of the presidents home
| a court of politeness, fashion and
charm. She made for her husband
friends by the hundred and was never
happier than when presiding at the
parlor cabinet. That was her history
for awhile-the handspring in the
scheme of happiness. Then came the
darker side of things, wars an6
rumors of wars, the bayonets of the
British cleaning in the Washington
sunshine-and American officials ir
danger of sudden death. Just how
the volatile lady bore herself under
these changed conditions is wei
shown in a letter she wrote to hel

CALLED JUDGMENT OF GOD.
Thief's Death at Hands Of Child
Whose Parents He Had Robbed.

The New York Sunday Worlds
correspondent in Budapest sends it
the following account of a recent
tragedy in the village of Kaposvar,
Hungary:
Janos Verga, a stock farmer, sold
some oxen for 900 crowns and con-
cealed the money in his house.
Ference Gal, ne'er-do-well of the
village, knew of this transaction and
determined to get the money. He
watched the house until he saw
Varga and his wife leave it. Then
he entered and had no difficulty in
finding the money, which he peck
eted.
As he was about to leave he no.
ticed sitting in a corner, staring 81
lently and intently at him, the Vargas
six-year-old daughter Realizing that
she had watched his theft, he deter
mined to get rid of this witness
against him. He threw a rope over a
beam in the ceiling and tied moose
in one end of it. Picking up the little
girl, he tried to persuade her to put
her head into the moose, saying it was
nice game
How" she asked.
I'll show YOU said the robber,
laughing.
Gal put down the little girl. drew up
chair, stood upon it and put his
head through the moose.
Like this he said, again laugh
ing, is if it was all a game he was
playing with the girl.
The child pulled the chair away
suddenly; the robber fell, his neck
in the moose and was strangled to
death.
The child watched her victim S
death struggles until they ceased,
then went outside to await for her
parents. When they returned she
took them to the room where the
dead thief still dangled and told
them in great glee what had taken
place. The 900 crowns were found
in the pockets of the robber and the
six-year-old child is now the heroine
of the village, where the event is
called Judgment of Cod"

ton which had given her much
trouble.
The fact that second ceremony
positively united Jackson and the
daughter of Col John Donelson, was
ignored in, the gossip attendant upon
the lives of the parties, and in the
campaign for the presidency made by
Jackson, his enemies made much
capital of the situation. Just as she
was preparing to leave for Washing
ton to rule as mistress of the execu-
tive mansion, Mrs. Jackson overheard
a gathering of women in a room adj
joining hers in hotel discussing her
with a freedom and malice that re-
suited in her complete prostration
and subsequent death.
Other Ladies of the White House.
Other women who have graced the
White House have, each, their places
in history. Martha Washington, Lucy
Webb Hayes, Julia Dent Grant, Mar
tina Patterson, who aided her father,
President Johnson; Mrs. Andrew
Johnson, Harriet Lane, the beloved
niece of President Buchanan, Abigail
Fillmore, Mrs. James X. Polk, Letitia
Christian Tyler, Angelica Van Buren,,
Mrs. Martin Van Buren,, Louisa Cath
crime Adams and Martha Jefferson.
Their impression on their country's
future has been scarcely less defined
than was the mark made by the dis
tinguished men whose names they
bore For the social influence is every
bit as important as the political infiu-
ence, and it's victories, though unoffi-
cial just as pronounced.

happen they would reach the city.

private property must be sacrificed,

On the following day, she wrote:

house; whether it will reach it's
destination, the Bank of Maryland, or
fall into the hands of British soldiery,
events must determine. Our kind
friend, Mr. Carroll, has come to
hasten my departure, and is in very
bad humor with me because I insist
