Moses Hicks Grinne!l Found He Had
Left Two Lights Burning in His
Town Residence During
Years Absence.

In all the history of polar explora-
ton the two Americans who probably
hold the record for most generous
giving in connection with equipping
arctic expeditions are the brothers,
Henry and Moses Hicks Grinnell,
whose family name is perpetuated in
Grinnell Land, discovered in the early
fifties by the first American Franklin
relief expedition, entirely financed by
Henry Grinneu, who was founder
and the first president of the Amer
lean Geographical society. The famous
Kane polar expedition was also
financed in large part by Grinnell
money, and from then on until they
died-Henry in 1874, at the age of
seventy-five, and Moses H. three
years later at seventy-four-both
brothers were exceedingly liberal con-
tributors to arctic projects of all sorts,
thereby contributing greatly to the
mapping of the frozen north.
Moses Grinnell, who was a big
power in American shipping in the
middle of the last century, when the
Yankee clipper ships were supreme
on the seven seas, and who also was
a member of congress for one term,
was one of the most generous men
ever knew" once said to me his old
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1910-08-25
Witticisn1 that Blaine Stole

DO you think SOL? asked Mr. Blaine
very courteously. L can hardly agree
with you, for | think our member of
congress is not to be compared with
the great prophet of the Mormon
church.
Why, it seems to me that he can
be so compared, protested Mrs Gran
Miss. Isn't it enough to say that he
has married four wives?
'Ah,' said Mr. Blaine, but there is
this difference. Our friend, the mem
Der of congress, has married his wives
tandem, one after another, while the
Mormon apostle took his wives abreast,
in row.
For several minutes the whole table
was upset with laughter at the witt
cism. AS for myself l was still laugh
ing over it when l met Mr. Blaine the
next day Then I complimented him
upon it.
oh was the smiling response, that
was not mine, | simply appropriated
it. 1t was, in fact, a breakfast table
witticism made by a member of my
family-Gail Hamilton-and it was just
like her to say it. She should have the
credit for it.
And that was Jane G. Blaine all
through as l knew him." concluded Mr.
Ely. He was ever willing to give
credit where credit was due"

mike" Walsh, Rough, Strong, Sin
cere Political Leader of New York
City, Caught the Fancy of the
Great Italian.

The late Parke God editor, au-
thor, and son-in-law Of William Cullen
Bryant, should be numbered among
the prominent Americans of yesterday
VINO enjoyed the personal friendship
OF Garibaldi, Italy's liberator.
| never think OF Garibaldi and his
life In America without recalling the
incidents connected with my introduc-
ton to him of my friend Mike"
walsh, remarked Mr. Goodwin sew
eral years before his death, which
occurred in 1904
Nike Walsh, whose name is for
gotten now by all except a few of US
old timers who will soon have to fol
low him among the great majority,
was rough man of strong, original
mind, natural born leader, especially
with that element of our population
which came to this country in the
days of the great emigration from
Ireland. He landed a penniless peas
ant In the new world, but by the time
Garlbaldi fed to the United States
Walsh had become an influential polit-
zeal leader, very powerful opponent
of Tammany Hall, and a member of
congress from New York city. By
that time, too, he had won recognition
as an extremely picturesque and force
ful speaker, having natural gifts of or
atory that appealed to the masses.
When l told Walsh that I had ar
ranged for him to spend an afternoon
with Garibaldi at the latter's little
home on Staten island, where the
great Italian made his candles, Mike
was as pleased as a child But that
strong, fearless mani think a man
iof the most dauntless personal cour-
iage that | have ever known-became
Jas t1mid as a child once we had
started on our way to Garibaldi's.
Mr.. Goodwin he asked, in most pa
;thettc and yet laughable manner, how
shall l behave? Garibaldi has enter
!tained many of the big men. Mr.. Will
liam M. Evarts has been to see him,
and many others as noted. Why,
have been told that he has even met
the governor of the state. l shall not
not know how to act when l am with
him. l am not used to meeting such
las he.
Walsh | said, don't try to act
Just be yourself, and everything will
he all right

upon the piazza of his home, greeted

Credit for the Bright Remark to
His Relative, Gail Hamilton,
Well Known Writer.

I'm all my experience when in Wash
ington and in other public life l never
met so cordial and companionable
man as James G. Blaine" said the ven
terable Smith Ely, who was mayor Of
New York city in 1878 Mr.. Ely was
a member of congress in the seventies,
and at that time made the acquaint-
ance Of Mr.. Blaine, then also of the
house of representatives They were
of opposing political parties, but their
difference of political view seemed all
the more strongly to maintain the per-
fsonal friendship which came to be es-
itablished between them.
Mr.. Blaine was one of the most
Fascinating of men at an informal or
quiet dinner party" Mr.. Ely went on
to tell me. And yet he was so con-
siderate of others, and so completely
lacking In dominating self-assertion
that this gift of charming all who were
with him was greatly intensified.
Il remember that one summer,
when Mr.. Blaine was speaker of tie
house, he spent few weeks at Sara
Cox, better known as Sunset Cox,
member of congress and a close per-
sonal friend Of Mr.. Blaine's, was stop
ping, and he invited Mr.. Blaine to be
his guest of honor at a dinner party at
a hotel at Saratoga Lake. Mr.. Blaine
accepted; l was fortunate enough to
be numbered among the guests, and l
must say that l never saw Mr. Blaine
more fascinating that he was at that
small gathering. Every guest felt the
magnetic charm Of his graciousness,
personality and intellect
1T was towards the end of the din
ner that Mr.. Blaine made his hit of the
evening. For some time he had been
engaged in an animated dialogue with
a Mrs Granniss, very brilliant lady,
whose husband was also present, and
in the course of their talk Mr.. Blaine
happened to refer to member of con-
gress, considerably past the scriptural
three score years and ten, who had re-
Gently married his fourth wife. This
fact Mr.. Blaine told after revealing
something about the mans public
career.
"Thereupon, Mrs. Granniss, half in
earnest and half in jest, with a conf
cally feminine protest in the tone of
ler voice, exclaimed: Why, Mr.. Blaine

Where Millions Are Entombed

The catacombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians.
They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 100000
bodies. During the prosecutions of the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tian the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
In the face of the day. The art of the
catacombs is unique and most inter
esting. Simple designs are etched in
The slabs which seal the tombs. Now
and then are small chapels whose
paintings are to be found. All are
Bible illustrations, so that the cata-
combs may be said to be a pictorial
Bible in effect-The Christian Herald,

KEEP BkBY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but a little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfguring rashes, itchings,
irritations and chafings dispelled.
To this end, nothing Is SO pure, so
sweet, SO speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cutfcura Ointment.

Gas Company Honest Once

friend, the late Commodore Van SAINT
voord, who died in 1901, and who, for
many years, was probably the most
intimate friend that William H. Van
derbilt ever had. Mr. Grinnell was
always willing to subscribe literally
to philanthropic and educational pur-
poses, as we'll as to arctic expeditions.
In fact, the last twenty years of his
life were devoted in large part to dis
pensing money for the good of his
fellow men and the furtherance of
knowledge.
But liberal though he was in most
ways, there was one thing in connec-
ton with the money in which he
showed he was human-he hated the
worst way imaginable to be imposed
upon by tradesman. He had an idea
that because he was a rich man the
tradesmen always tried to add some
thing which was not justified to every
bill they handed him. So, with most
diligent care, Mr. Grinnell would scru-
tinize every bill, perhaps knock off
what he considered an overcharge of
twenty-five cents. and, half an hour
later, give 100000 towards aiding
some polar expedition or educational
work
We'll, a year or two after Doctor
Kane had set out for the north, which
was in 1858, Mr. Grinnell determined
to take a trip to Europe, and prepare
tory to doing so he shut up his town

during the entire twelve months that

company to extort money from him
improperly, and he wrote to it re-
fusing to pay the bill.
"Thereupon, the company prepared
to sue Mr.. Grinnell, who remarked
most vigorously to his wife that he
would fight the claim through the last
court

American Garibaldi Admired

Us most cordially, but for some min
utes thereafter Walsh could only an
swer Garibaldis questions in mono
syllables. He was acting for all the
world just as timid child would in
the presence Of some strange person
OF whom it stood in awe
Garibaldi, noting Mikes timidity,
very gently and tactfully led him to
talk about American politics. That
was Walsh's stamping ground and
after a little while he forgot himself
and IN his rough but convincing way
proceeded to describe the peculiar fea-
lures Of the politics of that day. I re-
member one thing that he said which
impressed Garibaldi forcibly 1t was
that the rough and tumble methods of
politics which then prevailed were
caused by people realizing that they
were no longer under kings, but had
before them life of political freedom
in country whose opportunities were
boundless

That, Of course, was not the exact
phraseology that fell from Nike
Walsh's lips; it was of the rough and

replies to Garibaldfs many questions
Yet SO Impressed was Garibaldi in
Walsh that he seemed almost uncon-
scious of my own presence. In fact,
right up to the hour of our departure
Garibaldi gave practically all of his at
tention to Walsh and as he babe him
