In the following year as the date Of the
Presidential nominating convention Of the
Republicans approached many letters were
received by MIR. Fessenden expressing a
preference for him AZ the nominee Of the
party. He refused 90 be a candidate. how
ever. and wrote TO the Maine delegates not
to present his name. Two letters from Mr..
Blaine bear witness that Mr.. Fessenden's
name would ave been placed before the
Chicago convention had he not forbidden
such a move. His health was too delicate
to permit his taking a conspicuous part In
the earlier weeks Of the campaign Of 1850.
but toward the end Of August he began
making speeches and continued until cleo
ton day. speaking in different parts OF
Maine. The September election in that
State was a tremendous victory for the
Republicans. During the following winter
he. showed himself one Of the most deter
mined adversaries Of compromise in the
Republican party. In a letter written at
this period mo said; "If at this crisis we
who have fought this great battle allow
ourselves either to be frightened or cajoled,
all lie lost. We shall lose the confidence OF
the people, who will justly despair Of future
redemption. For one. l mean. while doing
and saying nothing to aggravate the evil.

Senator Ross OF Kansas. who was one OF
the seven that voted for acquittal. wrote a
quarter of a century later a description OF
/, the closing scenes Of the impeachment
trial in the Senate. He pointed out that
Senator Fessenden Of Maine was the first
OF the Republican Senators to vote mot
guilty" Mr.. Ross recalled in his descrip-
ton that Mr.. Fessenden had long been a
trusted leader in the Senate. while his long
experience in public life and his great
ability as a legislator. and more especially
his exalted personal character. had won
for him the admiration OF all OF his asso-
ciates. regardless OF political affiliations.
Being The first OF the dissenting Repub-
leans to vote. the influence OF his action
was feared by the impeacheTs. and most
efforts had been made TO induce
him to recede from his determination

resolved on this occasion. as ne had been
on every other. to act upon his own judg-
ment. though foreseeing that his vote would
probably end a long career Of conspicuous
public usefulness. there wRs no sign oi

with complacency upon the facts that

SHOE SIZES.
The system sT Numbering tho work OF o
Forgotten Frenchman.

ct is the hardest thing in the world for
me-" said a busy man the other day. -to
remember the sizes OF my different articles
Of wearing apparel. Collars, shirts and
gloves are easy enough because there it's
a matter OF actual inches. but where they
get the hat and shoe numbers 10 what beats
me, and why l have an eleven stocking
under an eight shoe is another mystery
The last puz2be Is easily explained. Stock
ings have always been measured by the
inch from heel to toe, but the numbering Of
shoes was fixed a long time ago by a French
man-and it's so long g that only one
New York dealer could be found who knew
anything about il. Even he didn't know
the inventors name.
The Frenchman permanently fixed the
numbers OF shoes for all Europe and America.
He arbitrarily decided that no human foot
could possibly be smaller than three and
seven-eighths inches, so calling this point
zero he allowed one-third OF an inch To a
size and so built up his scale. Consequently
a mar cannot find out the number OF his
own shoe unless he IL an expert at exact
arithmetic. And even then he is likely
to go wrong. because all shoe experts allow
for the weight Of the individual and the
build OF his foot before they try TO deter
mine what size shoe he ought 70 wear.
As far as women's shoes are concerned
the problem is still more difficult because
many OF the manufacturers instead OF keep
ing TO the regular scale have mark ed down
their numbers one or two sizes in order to
capture easily fattered customers. For
this reason most dealers ask out OF town
customers to send an old shoe with their
orders. 4

to keep up merrily with the procession, so far as amusements have been con- cerned, and a long line of dinners. luncheons. teas and card parties have marked the progress of the summer season. which renders the suddenne ss of the present awful pause all the more conspicuous by comparison. For the next two weeks the socially inclin- ed will find their members too depleted for eXertion; they will probably pass the time in seeking rest rather than recreation.
 The past season has been one of the most successful in the history of Iron Springs. It is indeed to be regretted that many Of the young gentlemen of Phoenix became SD conspicuous by their absence. Much credit is. however due to the young men. and the older ones. as well, at the Springs. for the prominent parts they assumed at the Tuesday and Saturday night social functions.
