list of famous old men. Former Unit
ed States Senator William A. Clark of
Montana is seventy-three, John Wanna
maker, the merchant, is seventy-four;
Henry Gassaway Davis, former vice
presidential candidate, who is also a
former senator, is eighty eight; ex-Sen-
ator Chauncey M. Depew of New York
was seyenty-eight in April, and James
]. Hill, the railroad builder of the
northwest, is seventy-four. Others men
toned later are also possessors of mil
lions.
Former Senators Still Active.
Some former United States senator's
who have reached the old mans age
are by no means inactive because they
no longer represent states in congress.
Chauncey M. Depew, who has already
been mentioned, has business interests
which receive his attention. Nelson
W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, seventy
two, who refused a denomination in
1910, has been devoting his time to the
work Of the national monetary com
mission, of which he is chairman, and
William A. Clark, whose copper inter
ests are extensive, has as yet not dele
gated the running of his affairs to 9TH
ers. His home in New York is one of
the handsomest In the city.
There are many statesmen to be
found who would have been "osler-
ized' over ten years ago If we had fol-
lowed the advice of the famous doctor.
Two former vice presidents are in
the list. Levi P. Morton, of Harrison's
administration, has reached the ripe
old age of eighty-eight, while Adlai E.
Stevenson, of Cleveland's second term,
will be seventy-seven next month.
Aged men who have had notable ca
reers in the government service are
numerous; but, besides those already
recorded, only an additional few will
be mentioned.
Richard Olney, who has a birthday
on Sept 10, when he will be seventy
seven years old, was secretary of state
during part of Clevelands second term
as president. The postmaster general
during Garfield's incumbency was
Thomas L. James, who is now eighty
one. Joseph G. Cannon, former speak
er Of the house of representatives is
seventy about year older than
Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to Eng
| land. James Wilson, secretary of ag-
riculture. who has held cabinet posi-
ton longer than any other person, was
seventy-seyen on the 10th of last
month
Army and Navy Officers.
There are famous aged American
army and navy officers whose names
are familiar to many of us. General
| Simon Boliver Buckner, the Confeder.
ate commander, who ran for vice pres
ident on the Gold Democrat ticket in
| 1896, has lived to the age Of eighty
nine. General Daniel Z. Sickels. who
received congressional recognition fol-
his services during the civil war, will
| be eighty-seven on his next birthday
/ which is next month
Although Admiral George Dewey is
| seventy-fve, he still performs official
duties as president of the general
board of the navy. General Horace
Porter. who has represented the
! United States in several countries and
who, in 1905, ct his own personal ex-
pense. recovered the body Of John Paul
Jones from France and had it buried
in America. is now in his seventy-fifth
J year. General Nelson A. Miles, who

Smiling AL Orth, formerly on the
pitching staff of the New York Amer
leans, has become an umpire. The fast
est dresser in the league, the man who
used to pitch the ball with nothing on
it." has at last decided to get behind
the plate and watch the fellows who
have the breaks and shoots that, if
truth were told, are perhaps not more
bewildering than the old straight ball
that AL used to pitch with nothing but
a smile behind it.
Ortiz should make a good umpire. A
man who has had to use his head all
the time in default of sweeping curves
or sharp breaks has been in the best
position to study the game 1t is not
difficult step from in front Of the bat
to the post behind it, and Ortiz should
be as much at home back of the catch
err as he always was on the mound

Ray Schalk, said by Hugh Duffy to
be "the best catcher in the country"
who has been playing sensational ball
for the Milwaukee club, is in much
demand by the major league teams
According to dispatch from Wiscon-
sin, every club in both the National
and American leagues has made a bid
for him. Comiskey Of the White Sox
is said to have the edge SO far, with
an offer Of $4,000 and two players for
the youngster. Schalk is only twenty
years old, and indications are that it
would not be surprising if the record
price paid. fer O'Toole would be du-
plicated. Schalk came to the Milwau-

ing paid for his release.

Helena. Aug. Io.-A telephone message
this noon from the ranch near Bozeman Of
w E. Harmon. state superintendent OF

Mr.. Harmon's conditions were critical. but
there is every reason to believe he will re-
cover from the attack of illness that struck
HIM down while rakine hay yesterday.
II is untrue that Mr.. Harmon was kicked
by horse. For years he has been a suffer
er from intestinal trouble. and it was a
sudden attack of this that overwhelmed
him. II was said today that peritonitis
has not set IN. although il is feared.
Mrs. Harmon was notified last evening
of her husbands illness and left on the
