There is no hint that John deserved

been consigned, and we should be very
sorry to believe 1t"
Of quite another character are some
of the following epitaphs. In Mount
Auburn cemetery Is this simple verse:
"shed not for her the bitter tear,
Nor give the heart to vain regret.
'Tis but the casket that lies here,
The gem that filled 1t sparkles yet. y
There is in the same cemetery an
epitaph to a Spanish girl. who died
Of a broken heart:
"She who lies beneath this stone
Died Of constancy alone. .
Fear not to approach, oh, passer-by
OF naught contagious did she die.
Over the grave Of a minister, in the
old graveyard at Barnstable, Mass, Is
this couplet:
Think what the Christian minister
should be;
You've then his character, for such
was he
OF much the same tenor Is this:
"She was-but words are wanting to
say what.
Think what a woman should be-she
was that"
We may conclude these selections
from the latest volume Of tombstone
literature, with one that has some
bearing on the present time, and which
we hope that many will prove upon
election day that they merit to nave
inscribed upon their tomb:

WHITE HOUSE FAMILIES.
William Henry Harrison Had the
Iaroest. CONSISTING of Ten.

William Henry Harrison Had the
Largest, Consisting of Ten.
There have been times in American
history when an advocate Of large fam
lilies could not have cited the household
Of the White House as an example,
says the Boston Globe, for small fami-
| lies have been the rule in the White
House, and the census taker in more
than one administration would have
been obliged to report, mo family"
Yet only two bachelors have been
elected to the presidency, and one OF
these, Grover Cleveland, changed his
condition by marrying before complet-
ing his first term. James Buchanan IN
his youth was a party to a romantic
love affair, and after the death Of the
young lady he appears never to have
thought Of marrying.
1t has been said that few presidents
had what President Roosevelt would
call large families. William Henry
Harrison had the largest; he was the
father of six sons and four daughters.
He was the oldest man ever elected to
the presidency. Hayes and Garfield
had the next largest families; in the
Hayes family were born eight children,
and in the Garfield family seven, a
large number in each case growing to
maturity.
President Grant had four children,
Of these sons, Frederick D. Grant, is a
major general in the army. Abraham
Lincoln, had four sons, Robert Todd
Lincoln, who became secretary Of war
under Presidents Garfield and Arthur,
alone surviving to maturity. President
Johnson had two daughters, Martha
and Mary, Martha presiding over the
White House during the frequent Ill
nesses of her invalid mother.
President Arthur was a widower,
and his sister presided over the White
House. He had two children living, but
his first child, son, died in infancy.
President Van Buren also was wild
over He had five sons, two Of whom
were Abraham, whose wife presided
over the White House, and John, who
was known as Prince John" Presi-
dent Taylor had a son and two daugh-
ters, of whom one married Jefferson
Davis.
President Pierce had three sons two
Of whom died in infancy, and the
third, boy of 13, was killed in the
presence of his parents in a railroad
accident two months before his faith
ers Inauguration as president. Pres
ident John Adams had a daughter and
three sons, President Monroe had two
daughters and John Quincy Adams had
several children. President Jefferson
had five children, two Of whom died in
infancy. President McKinley's two
daughters died while very young.

Authoritative Statement that They
Have Had No Trouble of
Recent Date.

NEW YORK, March AIN an authorita-
tive statement today Franklin Bartlett,
counsel for Harry X. Thaw and his mother,
Mrs. William Thaw. emphatically denied
that there had been any disagreement be-
tween the members of the Thaw family.
'The stories emanating. from Pittsburg
in the last few days to the effect that there
had been a disagreement or controversy
between the members Of the Harry X.
Thaw family over the suit OF Evelyn Thaw
for the annulment OF her marriage TO
Harry X. Thaw are absolutely without
foundation" said MIR. Bartlett. There
has been no disagreement OF any kind in
Mr. Thaw's family"
This statement was made at the request

Speaking of the opinion expressed recently
by the alienst, DR.. Allan McLane Hamil-

occasions recently he had seen Mr.. Thaw
in the Matteawan state hospital and had

occasions. he said, Harry Thaw seemed TO
him to be perfectly sane. Although l am
not physician or an aiienist," said Colonel

SUIT FOR TWO MILLION ACRES
Congress Alleges that Lands Are
Un1awfulIy Held by
Hartman.

WASHINGTON, March 2L-Two million
acres of land in California and Oregon,
vested in the California & Oregon Railroad
company owned by the Central Pacific
and controlled by e. H. Hartman. will be
subjected to suit for recovery of title by
the United States. II action taken today
by the committee on public lands is sus-
tained by the house. The committee agreed
to report favorably without amendment a
resolution, which has already passed the
senate, empowering and directing the at
torney general to bring suits for the re-
covery by the United States of title to
public lands granted to certain western
railroad companies In cases where the con-
ditions stipulated in the grants have not
been complied with-such conditions for
example. as governed the grant Of lands to
the Oregon g. California Railroad company
in the Sixties"
It is said that under the grant the lands
were to be thrown open by the company
to sale to bonafide settlers Of the United
States at not more than $3.50 an acre and
parcels not exceeding 16O acres each.
1T is charged that immense areas of
these lands were sold by the Oregon &
California in violation OF the conditions
named. The refusal of M. Hartman, an
nounced by him at the irrigation congress
at Sacramento today. to sell any portion
of the remaining 100000 acres. led to the
introduction by Senator Tillman Of the
resolution, which the public lands com
mittee acted on favorably today
Chairman Mondell was authorized 10
draw the report Of the committee, which
he will do next week.
