CHAPTER II.
The Devotion of Mr.. cormIy.

The Devotion of Mr.. Gormly.
The relationship Of Miss Haldane
and GOTmly was all very well so far
as it went. but it did not go far
enough for the mans purpose at least;
and Gormly was shreWd enough to see
that things might run on without any
definite results in this way forever.
Since the beginning Of the acQuaint-
ance GOrmly had kept track Of Miss
Haldane through a clipping bureau!-
instance of his practical common
sense which may amuse the romantic
reader. He had neither the time nor
the inclination to search the Journals
in which were chronicled the doings
Of social New York-in which the Hal
dane name was prominent; so he in
structed his private secretary, Cha
Toner, upon whose discretion he could
rely, to have sent to him at his private
address all clippings relating to Miss
Haldane. GOrmly, therefore, knew the
life of the object of his attention as
well as it could be known from it's out
ward and visible presentation before
the public. Indeed, there was little
that was concealable under such cir
cumstances-the higher you rise the
less privacy you have, obscurity being
the pTeTogative, or the penalty, of the
humble-sO that he was entirely
aware of Miss Haldane's goings and
comings, who her friends were, what
houses she visited, what diversions

Webster's Way Of Preparing

Il have heard that just prior to the
delivery of his great Bunker Hill ora
ton, on the f1ftieth anniversary of the
battle Of Bunker Hill, Webster went
fishing with friend in one of the
trout streams near MarshfieId. 1t was
in April, about two months before the
Bunker Hill grafton was delivered
Suddenly the friend observed that
Webster, while still casting fly, had
become completely absorbed with his
thoughts. His lips moved, he spoke
to himself, his whole manner changed,
so that his appearance was that of
the orator, and his companion knew
that Webster was composing an ora
grafton.
ga few weeks later, when Webster
delivered the Grafton at Bunker Hill
and reached the now famous apes
trophe addressed to the survivors of
the battle, beginning: Venerable men,
you have come down to us from a past
generation the friend instantly recog-
nized the words. He had heard that
much when Webster, while fishing.
spoke in a low tone to himself. And
then he knew that it was while Web
ster was wading brook and casting
a fly for trout that he had been in
spired with the composition of this,
the most memorable portion of his
great Bunker Hill address,

Didn't Ask Cabinets Advice

incident that occurred during my two
years cabinet service under Presi-
dent Cleveland is associated with that
Venezuelan message.
The entire cabinet was in session.
The president took some manuscript
from a drawer, saying that he desired
to read something which he had writ
ten, to the members of the cabinet
He then began reading what is now
known as his Venezuela message. A
majority of the members Of the cab
met had no intimation that the pres
ident purposed writing a message of
that kind. / sat near William l. VIII
son, the postmaster general, and occa-
sionally we looked up and exchanged
glances. Our glances told the same
story. We were surprised and we
were not little startled by the
emphatic manner in which the presi-
dent had sounded the note of warn
ing.
After the president had finished
reading the message | presume every
member Of the cabinet expected that
he would ask for the opinions of the
cabinet respecting the expediency of
sending such a message to congress.
But Mr.. Cleveland did nothing of the
kind. For some moments there was
perfect silence, and there was no dis
cussion of the message, for the presi-

Cleveland Read to 1t, Merely as Mat
ter OF Courtesy, His Famous Ven
ezueIa Message That Sharply
Warned Great Britain.

In the biography Of Grover Cleve-
land which was written by his inti-
mate personal friend, George F. Park
er, there appears a brief account Of
the manner in which President CIeve-
land wrote his now historic Vep.szue-
Ia message. Great Britain and Ven
ezuela had becsme involved in a very
serious difference respecting the
boundary line between Venezuela and
BRITISH Guiana. At one time it looked
as though Great Britain would settle
tnat question by force of arms. Presi-
dent Cleveland, when the situation
was acute, went to the south of North
carolina for a brief hunting trip, as
was presumed, but really for the
purpose of deciding what part he
should take in the controversy, and
and when and how. Upon his return
from that trip he asked the secretary
OF the treasury, John G. Carlisle, to
come to the White House, for he had
an important matter to discuss with
him.
AS soon as Mr.. Carlisle responded
to this summons, Mr.. Cleveland took
from drawer in his desk some manu-
script. He started to read from it to
Mr.. Carlisle, but was interrupted;
J. Sterling Morton, who was a member
OF the cabinet, came into the presi-
dents office. When the president saw
who it was that had thus unexpected
~ appeared, he hastily put the man.
uscrtpt in the drawer, but after Mr..
Morton had departed the president fin
tshed reading the document to Mr..
Carlisle.
The next day congress, the. country,
Great Britain, the entire civilized
world, were startled by the presidents
Venezuela message. It practically pro-
claimed to Great Britain that the
United States would not permit Great
Britain to settle her boundary dispute
with Venezuela by violence or force
OF arms. Many persons believed at
that time, and have since believed,
that this message was really written
by the secretary of state, Richard
Olney.
Some time ago the attention OF Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio, attorney gen
eral during the latter half of the sec
ond Cleveland administration. was
called to this brief statement, made
by Mr.. Parker in his biography.
1.-THE statement IS correct as far as
it goes, said Governor Harmon. But
1t does not go quite far enough. The
most dramatic and the entirely unique

says the New York Sun. The court
attendants are constantly on the look
out for the man with crossed legs.
They pounce upon the man, touch him
on the knees and tell him to uncross
his legs or leave the courtroom.
When some man demonstrates and
asks what is wrong the excited attend
ant says: "Them's the courts or
ders," and that usually ends the mat
ter. A lawyer who was directed to
uncross his legs left the court and
said: IF it were not for the publicity
it would occasion I would refuse to
uncross my legs and wait to see what
action the court would take. I do
not see how l could be punished for

ed to promote the health of its mem
bers. Therefore when Gormly ap-
piled to the authorities for permits
sion to construct a switch from his
pier on the one hand and his ware
house near the river front on the other
to connect both with this subway, the
permission was instantly granted, but
coupled with an expense demand upon
him for something like million dol
lars
Gormly could give Miss HaIdane
million dollars to play with; he would
not spend ten cents for bribery. He
saw instantly that the demand upon
him was a mere attempt to hold him
up. To build the switch would cost
perhaps forty or fifty thousand dol
lars; the privilege might be worth as
much more; but inasmuch as no
streets were crossed, no overhead traf-
fic Lindered. he was doubtful even as
TO that. The road had been built by
private capital-subscribed by the peo-
pIe-cn a public franchise. The in
terests Of the public were supposed to
be paramount. = reasonable return
upon their investment was all that the
promoters had a right to expect.
GoTmly had consulted his attorneys,
had a1peaIed to The city council, and
had done everything that he could to
settle the matter short of publishing
the whole affair. He had failed alb
solutely everywhere. The members Of
the transportation committee of the
board of aldermen were very sorry,
but they did not see what could be
done. A gentle hint that GormIy
might prefer to indemnify the alder
men for their trouble in case they
should give him permission was met
with panied siIehce or explosive wrath
1t was furthermore pointed out to him
that the board had no power. the
rights of the people having been vest

innocent aldermen had allowed them
selves to be placed in such an unfor-

The Most Danqerous occupatfo,

Insurance agents in the United
States have figured out the most dan
gerous occupation for the year just
passed. 1t isn't working IN a powder
mill or dynamite factory, as many
suppose, or railroading. It is shown
that the highest percentage of fatality
is found among the fishermen along
the New England coast, where II per
cent. of the total number employed go
to their death every year. The NOR
tality among railway workers is about
eight per cent. The number of deaths
due to accidents of occupation among
all wage earners is between 10000
and $4,000; the non-fataI accidents ex-
coed 100000.
