There is a very interesting anpcdOte
told Of Attorney General Brewster and
his son Andre. now a captain in th@
United States army. which Is probably
not known to this generation.
During Mr. Brewster's term as at
torney general notorious highway
man and criminal was caught in Lou
isiana and brought to trial. 1t was a
celebrated case and finally the trial
ended. and the prisoner. having been
proven guilty. was sentenced to be
: hanged. But his counsel put in a stay
of proceedings. and telegraphed the
attorney general. asking him to inter
cede with President Arthur and secure
a reprieye for the prisoner.
This telegram did not reach Wash
ington until the day before that set
for the execution. The attOrney-sener-
al had gone to Philadelphia for the
day. and the telegram was sent to his
house instead Of his Office. and placed
on his desk to await his return.
Andre Brewster, then little lad.
full Of life and mischief. was a priv
legged character-an only son-and
great favorite with all the prominent
government officials. He had the run
Of his fathers library, and from the
moment that telegram arrived he be-
came possessed with a desire to read
It. Finally, curiosity got the better OF
him. and when he had mastered its
contents he was deeply impressed
with il. During the afternoon he ask
ed his mother all manner of questions
in regard to the Presidents exercise
Of clemency. and she could not mag
inc why the boy was interested tn that
subject. Andre kept his cwn counsel
and reluctantly retired to bed before
his fathers return home.
Late that night the attorney general

The soul of William Carlyle winged
its flight this afternoon at about 2. Ia

sphere.
No sweeter being ever walked the
streets of this city than William Car
lyle; and we repeat now what We
have been fain to repeat many times
during the residence of William Car
lyle in this city, that, if his soul is
not now among the blessed, there be
little use in others ever trying 10
reach that bourn.
William Carlyle was a carpenter. as
was the lowly Nazarene. His wall.
was peaceful. giving offense to none
and ever ready to rescue the fallen
or give succor to the weak and at
flicted. He lived. so far as the rec
ord of his life is known, both in this
city and elsewhere, void of offense be
fore God and man. He was upright
much too honest in this striviD Z
world, and would at any time rather
give than take. in the conduct of has
business
1t was this disposition in business
life that brought considerable flnan-
cial worry and sorrow TO his life in
the last few years. He undertook
contracts in his line of business in
which ne performed the work so
faithfully and well that he lost con-
siderable portion of the little compe-
tency that he had gathered by life
of toll and work.
But no man ever heard complaint
come from the lips that are now si-
lent. He spoke i'll of no man. it
mattered not what the provocation
happened TO be- His creed was to do
unto others as he would that others
should do unto him.
