next twenty-five years on several diff
ferent occasions I was brought in
close contact with him. For two
years during his second administra-
tton served under him as civil SER
vice commissioner. Like all others
who were thrown closely with him I
was much inspired by his high stand
ard OF official conduct and his rugged
strength Of character. Not only did
| become intimately acquainted with
the manner in which he upheld and en-
forced the civil service law, but l also
saw at close quarters his successful
fight against free silver, and the cour-
age with which he. aided by men like
the late Senator Cushman X. Davis of
Minnesota, supported the judiciary at
the time of the Chicago riot; and,
finally. I happened to be in position
In which l knew intimately how he
acted and the reasons why he acted in
the Venezuelan matter. Ttss knowl-
edge gained at first hand enables me
to bear testimony; which l am more
than glad to bear, to the late presi-
dents earnest purpose to serve the
whole country, and the high courage
with which he encountered every
species of opposition and attack.
Owing to pecurliar combination of
circumstances he went out of Office
assafled even more bitterly by his own
party than by the opposing party, and
shortsighted people thought that the
great mass Of American citizens had
repudiated him and disbelievei in
him.
six years later 1t happened that I
was at st. Louis as president when
Mr.. Cleveland, then a plain private
citizen, arose to make an address in
the great hall of the exposition; and
no one who was there will ever for
get the extraordinary reception given
him by the scores of thousands pres
ent. 1t was an extraordinary testi-
mony to the esteem and regard in
which he was held. an extraordinary
testimony to the fact that the Ameri-
can people had not forgotten him
and, looking back, recognized in him
man who with straightforward di-
rectness had sought to do all in his
power to serve their interests.
Moreover. all Americans should
pay honor to the memory of Mr..
Cleveland because of the simplicity
and dignity with which. as ex-presi-
dent he led his life in the beautiful
college town wherein he elected. to
live. He had been true to the honor
able tradition which has kept our
presidents from making money while
in Office. His life was therefore of
necessity very simple; but it was the
kind Of life which 1T is good thing
to see led by any man who has held a
position such as he held

ROOSEVELT FOR
THE ]. 5. SENATE
Indications Point to His Can
didacy to Succeed Depew
From New York

Washington, March 19.-That Roose-
velt's dead bones will rise again and
that Washington will see more of him
in an official capacity, is believed
more and more by close observers of
the recent frame-up in New York.
Mr.. Roosevelt cannot get the presi-
but that he plans another career, the
first steps Of which is an election to
the senate. is borne out by many
things
He displaced the Odell and Platt
men in New York state with
Rooselevt men. He dictated the
election of Root as senator to succeed
Platt, and his latest move was to ar
range for the appointment Of Loeb,
his private secretary, to the collector
ship of the port of New York, the most
powerful political post in that state.
Governor Hughes is understood to
aspire to succeed Depew in the senate
two years from now. But, coupled
with the rumors comes the announce
ment that Herbert Parsons, the Roose-
velt county chairman, also wants to
be senator. The Parsons candidacy
is significant. It is believed to be q
blind.
1t is thought in Washington that
Governor Hughes real rival for De-
pew's seat in the senate is Theodore
Roosevelt.
More than year ago 1t was inti-
mated that Mr. Roosevelt would ac-
cept election to the senate as Mr..
Platt's successor. But the situation
was changed when the African hunt
was planned, and the mantle of Plat
fell upon Root. Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
pedition to the dark continent will
take him out of the United States for
a little more than year. When he
returns the active contest for the sue
cession of Senator Depew will be in
progress.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. March 49,
While the whole countryside is aflame
with indignation at the outrage, Miss
Elizabeth. Brennan, the 19-year-old
girl found gagged and bound to a tree
last night, remains unconscious, and,
consequently, no clue can be obtain
ed to the identity to her assailants.
No motive can be assigned, for
physicians declare the girl was not
harmed, and the possible motive of
revenge is put aside by her family
for the reason that she was not known
to have had any differences with any

Evidence Of STRUGGLE.

Evidence OF Struggle.
All that any one can tell just now is
that the girl left her home last night
at about o'clock. to be gone for a
few moments. When she failed to
put in an appearance nearly two
hours later her father and brothers
discovered her bound to a tree some
distance from the house, gagged and
unconscious.
Her face was badly scratched and
her body has several severe bruises,
indicating sharp struggle before she
was overpowered. 1t does not seem
possible that one man could have
done the job, for the girl evidently
put up lively fight.
Remains Unconscious.
Carried back to her home, physl-
clans tried to resuscitate her, but
failed, and this morning she was still
unconscious. Whatever the reason
for the outrage, it has had terrific
effect upon her mind, for nothing has
yet availed to arouse her from the
almost deathlike swoon that held her
when she was found.
There seems no doubt that Miss
Brennan was tied to the tree at least
an hour before she was discovered,
and as she continues unconscious her
assailants apparently have had the
best kind OF chance to get away, even
II she recognized them.
Case Battles Police.
Chief of Police Killeen has had his
entire force at work making inquir-
les all over the city, in an effort to
learn something that will betray the
nature Of the attack. and the reason
for 1t.
Until Miss Brennan RECEIVERS con-
sciousness the chief hestitates to
speak his mind regarding the identity
of the perpetrators of the outrage,
but in the absence of the expected
motives, revenge or personal attack
the opinion is growing that some
members Of the large foreign popula-
ton can explain the matter.
The spot where Miss Brennan was
found is not exactly remote. but the
vicinity lonely. 1t Is believed that
she was seized at this point because
Of the small likelihood of Interrupt
ton, and that something unexpected
stampeded her assailants before they
had time to accomplish the real OBJ
ject Of the attack.
