within few hours Bismarck appeared.
The object of his alteration and her
parents were prepared to give him a
formally polite welcome; but Bis

cordial, for he ignored utterly the ex-

arms around the daughter, and kissed
her heartily. Before many minutes
had elapsed the impetuous lover was

LITTLE BOY WON REPRIEvI.

Son of Attorney General Bre svstes
Pleaded for Criminal.
The coming wedding Of Miss Mary
Brewster and Donald Cassells Is Of
great interest to all old Washington
ians because it united two families
who have always been Identified with
Washington society.
The grandfather Of the bride-elec,
occupied the position of Attorney Cen
eral during President Arthur's admin
istration. When young man Mr..
Brewster risked his life in a heroic
effort to save his sister from death by
fire, and was himself terribly burned
and disfgured for life. He had most
fascinating manners and was noted for
his brilliant conversational powers.
There is a very interesting anecdote
told Of Attorney General Brewster
and his son Andre, now a captain In
the United States army, which is prob
ably not known to this generation.
During Mr.. Brewster's term az At
torney General notorious highway
man and criminal was caught in Louis
lana 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 stay
Of proceedings, and telegraphed the
Attorney General, asking him to in
tercede with President Arthur and Sc
cure reprieve for the prisoner.
This telegram did not reach WASH
ington until the day before that set
for the execution. The Attorney Cen
eral 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 a
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
1t. Finally, curiosity got the better of
him, and when he had mastered its
contents he was deeply impressed with
1t. During the afternoon he asked
his mother all manner Of questions in
regard to the Presidents exercise of
clemency, and she could not imagine
why the boy was interested in that
subject. Andre kept his own counsel
and reluctantly retirel to bed before
his fathers return home.
Late that night the Attorney Gen
eral returned, and, going to his desk,
found on top of the pile Of letters the
Louisiana telegram, with this indorse-
ment. in Andres round, boyish hand:
Dear Papa: Give the poor man a

1t was raining and sleeting, but At

the dispatch, he hurried off to the |

In the world is Miss Celeste ]. Miller.
OF chicago. For twenty-seven years
continuously she has been ION the
wing and here is partial record of
her most remarkable travel achieve
| ments:
Five times has she circled the globe
completely, in addition to almost in
Vulnerable briefer European and Ash
atic Journeys that would seem long to
less travelled person.
She has visited every known country
and capital in the world, with prac-
ucally every group Of islands. however
remote, and this, whenever possible,
before the ordinary tourist route" has
been worked out.
The first woman to traverse South
America alone, she crossed the Andes
twice ON this trip, covered the entire
region, and made original discoveries
and explorations.
The first woman to go over the Trans
Siberian Railway, she Travelled 500
miles In Manchuria in a mule palan-
Quin. sleeping in Chinese hotels, visit
Ing the great Chinese wall, etc.
Her first visit to Palestine and
Syria was distinguished by 5OO-mile
ride On an Arab horse. During this
journey she had no tent, passing her
nights in native huts, with sheep herd
ers and 10 on.
In Morocco she also traveled-5O0
miles-on muleback.
In Central America, Newfoundland,
etc, she lived with and studied all
manner Of queer people such as the
Cheli Indians, Nubia negroes and Es-
KINDS, it being one Of her unbreak-
able travel rules to hobnob with the
different races met, and to stay in
each country long enough really to
learn somthing of it's ways and inhabi-
tants.
She has made the Mediterranean
trip" four times, done" Egypt and the
Nile twice. visited Turkey twice, and
run across" to the European CONT
nent SO many times that she long
since ceased to keep track" Of such
comparatively insignificant jaunts.
She had been all over India, the East
and West Indian Islands, Cuba, the
Philippines, Corea and Hawaii long be-
fore it became usual to visit these
places.
She has visited 10000 mosques, tenn
pies and churches
In addition to all this she knows
intimately every portion Of America,
and even when mot travelling" accord
ing to her own understanding of the
term. thinks nothing Of flying of to
California, Alaska. the south, any
where that her active fancy takes her.
The further Is remarkable because:
She always travels alone.
With the exception Of slight smat-
tering Of French and German, she has,
literally. mo tongue but her own" to
help her about strange countries. i
She has realized her life ambition,
:hough it has cost her, on an average,
$40 per day for Fl years to do so.
She has never been sick a day, away
from home, with the exception Of occa-
sional slight attacks Of seasickness,
though she has been through fifteen |
epidemics Of the bubonic plague in In
dia and China, visited the Indian |
Fning CHATS in places from which |
che American minister had fed in dis
may.
Miss Miller enjoys travelling as much |
now as when she started and at pres
ent. having remained in America for |
some time. she Is planning "the long
est trip around the world" ever taken.

Make Gas Poisoning Impossible !!

The subject of gas poisoning Is now
formally before Congress. with the Presi-
dents recommendation that immediate
action should be taken to prohibit the
manufacture of gas containing more than
10 per cent of carbon monoxide. There
should be no delay in the enactment of
the necessary statute, whether It Is
pressed as a separate measure. or the
Senate utilzes the rate-reduction bill now
before it as the most convenient and ex-
peditious means of securing prompt re-
suits. The matter Is of the utmost
urgency. The water gas. with its

householders will look to the burners to
make sure that they are in proper con-

antics may say that they will not obey it
If it calls for the shelving of their leader
and all that he represents.
Mr.. Bryan played the best politics of
his career at St. Louis in 1904. He felt
absolutely certain that the nomination OF
Judge Parker would result in defeat. He
took all pains to make himself thoroughly
understood on that point. His party, he
was convinced. could not win under a
Wall street flag. But he did not threaten
bolt, and he did not bolt. He bowed
to the party's decision.
Had he threatened a bolt he would
have been without influence in the shap-
ing of the platform. He would have
been tainted in committee with his
threatened disloyalty. and all but ruled
out Of the discussions. And had he bolt
ed after the nomination was made. he
would have lost all influence with his
party from that day. Wisely, he took
his medicine. and bided his time The
Parker campaign looked as farcica1 to
him as the talk of a fourth Bryan cam
paign sounds farcical to the Landmark.
The argument against another nomina-
ton for Mr. Bryan is so strong it should
not be weakened by incorporation with
the threat of bolt. The Landmark
would do better to reason with its Bryan
lite brethren. For brethren they are, and
must remain, if there is to be the ghost
OF chance for any democrat, either
in 1912 or 1916. And is the Landmark
SD certain that it could not be dragged
into" another Bryan campaign? 1t doubt
less feels that way now: but times change,
and newspapers with them, and Virginia

tests

Now we are going to have a judge-like

reply is that in the other executive Of

His methods in listening and fully in
forming himself did not prevent prompt

was never behind. Everybody got an
audience, and every question was disposed
of.
Why should not this record be repeated
in the White House? The line OF duty
is strikingly similar. A much larger
volume of business will be encountered.
but Judge Taft will have a much larger
corps of assistants. Trained men will be
at his command in every department of
the government. Lawyers, diplomats.
financers. all-around men Of affairs will
be at hand ready to investigate and pre-
pare matters under his direction. Judge
Taft has already shown that the same
man may possess both the judicial and the
executive faculty
