Andrew johnson.

"A memorial DAY feature was the
decoration of the grave of Andrew
Johnson In the cemetery of Greene
willie, Tenn. Perhaps 5000 people
witnessed the ceremony. In con-
nection with the other events on the
program the ANDREW Johnson Mem
orial Association" was organized.
There were some present who pro-
claimed with pride that they had
known the man of the hour in the
stormy days of the civil war. A son
of Tennessee came from New York
to set forth in glowing eloQuence the
'homely virtues of one who has been
little esteemed by his countrymen.
The loyalty Of johnson in stand
ing by the union when other southern
senators left the capitol to join the
confederacy has been overlooked.
Long after his native state had with
drawn to cast her lot with the other
seeding commonwealth, Tennessee,
out of the union, was represented lby
this uncompromising man in the up
per house at Washington. AS Lin
coins first appointed military COVER
nor he labored faithfully to restore
the state to it's former proper practi-
cal place in the union. His fidelity
won for him the vice presidency and
led to his exaltation to the higher
position when Lincoln died.
What followed as the difficulties of
reconstruction thickened everybody
knows. The widening of the breach
between the president and congress
was inevitable, perhaps. The temper
of the former southern democrat was
distinctly different from that of the
gentle hero from Illinois whose sue
cessor fate made him. 1t is mot hard
to point out the stages of conflict
that left him outside the ranks of
the party. The trend of events left
him in an unfortunate position SO
far as the opinion of his contempor-
aries was concerned.
But there are good many signs
of better feeling toward Johnson.
1t is reflected in many recent publ
cations concerning the reconstruc-
tom period. The theories of the rad
ical republicans have not stood the
test of the years as their advocates
thought they would. And as things
have developed the opinions of the
president have gained greater favor
in connection with the softening eff
fects of time. The organization of
an association to perpetuate the
memory of Andrew Johnson will
not bring him popularity. It may,
however, help to secure a fairer ap-
probation of his merits, abundant
allowance for his defects being made
always. Chicago Tribune.

The Greek. Eratosthenes, $50 B.

dity of the earth, and the ideas of
the sphere, its poles, axis. the equa-
tor, arctic and antarctic circles, equi-
noxial points and the solstices were
quite generally entertained by the
wise men of that time. There were
plenty of men in Rome, therefore.

Slayer Of Stanford White, Fighting for His Release
From MatteaWan Insane Asylum, Holds His
Own at All Times During the Hearing.

White Plains, N. Y. July 29.-Wil-
liam Travers Jerome, district attorney
of New York prosecutor at both Thaw
murder trials. finished his inquiston
of Harry *. T'haw in the supreme court
at 5.25 o'clock this evening. This ends
perhaps the most surprising chapter
of the long court procedure in which
the young Pittsburger has figured-cer-
tfinly the most surprising in this latest
phase of the case, Thaw's fight to prove
himself sane and obtain his release
from the Matteawan Asylum for the
Criminal Insane.
All told, yesterday and today Harry
Thaw faced Mr. Jerome's lightning
thruSts for 10 hours, yet he held his
own at all times and tomorrow he will
be in the hands of friends. His attor-
ney, Charles Morschauser, expects to
call him in the morning. This exami-
nation may be as long as Jerome's, and
after it. the district attorney may have
few more questions to ask.
notwithstanding the mental strain
he was under yesterday and today
Thaw labOred far into tonight with his
attorney in Justice Mills ANTERIOR 60
ing over the multitude of records used
today by Mr. Jerome in his rapid fire
of crosse questions The district attnr-
ney consented to this, but left one of
his deputies to guard the evidence

OF his Office
Thaw and his attorney returned to
the court house at P. NJ and with a
deputy sheriff at the door, began their
task which extended well into the
night. They asked this privilege. chiefly
on account of certain exhibits intro
duccd by the district attorney.

ONE will make of them will develop lat :
er. But their appearance seemed to
bother Thaw somewhat and after court
adjourned, Mrs. William G.. Thaw, the
prisoners mother, gave out an inter-
view in which she said that the produc-
ton Of these papers by the state proved
the charges she made in printed pam
phlet recently that her son had been
hurried away to the asylum without
being allowed to get his clothes or 9TH

On the whole. however Thaw and his
attorney are well satisfied with the days

derce than he exhibited during the first
encounter; in fact, his self satisfaction
at enc time almost cost him dear when
he ventured into a heated passage at

checked himself when he realized that

bers of the conference committee to be
present at 10 O'Clock today to approve
or diSapprove of the conference report.
The president had other ideas of what
the rates should be and he expressed
them very forcibly in a letter. He said
that lumber should not be more than
81 .25 per thousand feet for rought. with
the dilferentials fixed by the Senate on
finished lumber. He declared also that
the Senate rates on gloves, which are
the Same as the Dirgley rates, and
much less than the House rates. would

his endorsement.
Not content with issuing an injunc.
ton against high rates on these arti-
cles. tie President specified that hides
must go on the free list and the House
rates on boots and shoes and other
manufactures of leather reduced. Hos
iery, too, he thought should be reduced
below the House rates, which were ad-
vances over the DingIey duties.

members had assembled that the White
House communication WAS received at
