GRANT AND SHERMAN.
Mary Anderson de Navarro Pays Both o.
Them Pretty Tributes.

Mary Anderson de Navarro Pays Both Of
Them Pretty Tributes.
In all her Letters and writings Mary An
derson de Navarro's fondpess for the
friends of her early days is clearly shown.
In The Ladies' Home Journal she recalls
some of those who have passed away, no.
tably Booth, Manager Macauley, John T
Ford, and thus records her meeting with
and estimate of General Grant: "It was
during my delightful southern tour (the
frst) that DR.. Griffin presented me to Gen.
eral-then President-Grant, whom he
had known In old soldering days, when
the general had captured and imprisoned
him. 1t was pleasant to see these enemies
In war so friendly In times Of peace Kind
lness and simplicity were marked traits
of the president, while q certain rugged
ness of manner and speech that was sug-
gestive of his earlier life gave an addition
al interest to all he said and did. In show
ing US over the White House his pleasure
In pointing out various trophies was un-
disguised and boyish. While lunohing
with him, the natural way In which he
brought himself down to the level Of my
youth and small experience Of life without
touch of that visible condesoension so
annoying to the young was charming. +"
Meeting him some years after, and failing
to recognize him, Mrs. de Navarro records
that after his speaking to her and an
nouncing himself as General Grant, before
she recalled him, he said jokingly in re,
Spouse to her confused utteranoe that he
had $50 ehanged:" "Yes, I have grown
thinner and paler; I am no longer presi.
dent, you see, and am consequently less
banqueted." .... r,
"It was about this time that my friend
ship with General Sherman also began, "
writes Mrs. de Navarro. "He was one OF
the few eminent men I have met whose
interest in every subject Of conversation
was so great that his particular metier
could not have been guessed. He knew
much about the stage, Shakespeare and
the drama generally and was passionate
lover of the arts, thinking them all worthy
of equal regard. AS critic he was good,
though perhaps too enthusiastic over any
excellence, however small, II genuine en-.
thusiasm can be called fault. His man.
ner was brisk and hearty. His personality
gave the impression of rugged strength,
30 much 80 that his entrance into room
was like breath of fresh, invigorating
air. He soorned fear and Encouragement
Of every kind and refused to allow any
one to give way to either"

There can be no question that men Of
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do more than those who. obey
caprice and impulse. The adoption OF
hysienic habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount Of friction and waste.

"My first assignment" said an. old.r0-
porter, twas to find out whether some
body was in town, or something Of that
sort. I know there was nothing to ,be
written about It, got the Information
and reported to the city editor. That was
all had to do that day. For the restof
the day I sat around the Office and looked
on with an infatuation thht as;neveride-
creased. The next day got my second
assignment. In this there was something
TO write about.
"The city editor handed me narrow
little strip Of white tissue paper out from.a
sheet of ship news and containing, IN two
lines of writing, Information that twola-
borers had been washed overheard from
the barge So-and so, laden with ore, com.
ing up the bay IN tow of the ting So-and.

about the occurrence and write them.
"The city editor said that II / would
find the consignees Of the barge or the
owner of the tug I would get on 'theltracs
of the story. The names Of the: :opnaignaes
were in the two lines of ship news, and
simply by looking in the directory I found
their office without the slightest trouble.
There I learned where the cargo was tied
up. II was at wharf In Hoboken or
Weehawken, I don't remember which, and
I made for that. When I turned from the
street down the wharf, there she was, tied
up slongside, her name on the wheelhouse.
She was about half unloaded, and man

When one days sky is blue above

And peace at last-and that is death.

first place, Massachusetts need pay lit

light artillery. The New England coast
is no artillery country. In these man
euvers the artillery had hardly single
position where it could be of any prac-
ticable use. The country is a perfect
country for the invader IS purposes. He
has natural screen before him all the
time. This is in the timber and under

and for that reason defending army

A balloon in the maneuver would
have been of great value. The Blue

lack of proper equipment for speedy

ADJUSTMENTS
A Great Success

The audience at the Withers' con
cert last night was material evidence
that Honolulu is not to be reckoned
among the musical ceRters of the Unit
ed States. It might be considered, al
so, an arraignment of the entire COM
munity charged with showing a prefer
cree for song and dance artists, skat-
ing Kinks and moving picture shows,
likewise convincing arguments against
Mr. Adams bringing high-elass artists
here with the expectation of more than
paying for lights.
Artisticallv the concert was a superb
success. The program more than salts
fed the audience which, fortunately for
the artists, was appreeiative to the
point of enthusiasm. The interpreta-
ton of Richard Strauss sonata in F
major by Mr. Withers and Nine. Ely
reached the highest expectations of the
audience. Nine. Ely was in fine form
and her Accomplishments were in the
highest degree exhibitions of her i'm
macuIate skill. In her own number the
marvellous execution, splendid inter
probation and wonderful technique cleo
trifed her audience. "Humoresque'
by Tchaikowsky appealed to her hear
ers and won for her enthusiastic APP
plause to which she responded with an
garian Rhapsody (No. 13), by Liszt,
gave her ample opportunity to show
her powers.
Mr.. Bennett gave further evidence
of his possession of one of the sweet
est, softest baritone voices heard here
in years. To say that he is versatile
admits of no argument for his love
songs, with their low sweet melody
are exquisite and in strong contrast
with his rollieking, "Rolling Down to
Rio,' which he sung as an encore to
the applause accorded him after sing.

tains.' Excellence marked his rem.
dition in every number and particular.

core of the evening he sang "Loch

his Interpretation of Fischers Gear
