ANDREW JoHNsoNs HABIT

Andrew Johnson was one of the
neatest men in his dress and person
have ever known. During his three
years in Nashville, in particular, he
dressed in black broadcloth, frock
coat and waistcoat and black doeskin
trousers, and wore a silk hat. This
had been his attire for thirty years,
and for most of that time, whether
as governor of Tennessee, member Of
congress or United States senator, he
had made all his own clothes. He
was so scrupulous about his linen
that he invariably changed all of it
daily, and sometimes oftener.
He was matchlessly perfect in fig
ure, about feet 10, had handsome
broad shoulders, fine forehead, SUI
perb face, dark bushy hair, and small
hands and feet. The most marked
feature about him was his eyes, which
were small, and, although such eyes
are not usually attractive his were
black, sparkling and absolutely beau
tiful.
He was not a gamester at anything,
and could play only indifferently at
checkers. In 1862 he explained TO
me that he had never visited thea
ter because in his youth he lacked
the opportunity, and always after
wards would rather study and work
or go to bed than spend his time at
a playhouse. He looked on all kinds
of gambling as wrong. He never
knew one card or one domino from
another, and was never at horse
race. He had been to a few circuses
and minstrel shows, and liked them.
Andrew Johnson has been called a
drunkard as we'll as a traitor; but the
''whirligig of time" has set him right
in the latter, and today there is no
man of the civil war who is receiving
so much honest attention at the
hands of historians. But that Andrew
| Johnson was a drunkard is more diff
| ficult to disprove. This is partly be-
cause the only time he was ever I'M
der the influence of liquor in his life
the whole nation saw him, either with
their eyes or read of it. and upon an
occasion when he should have been
| absolutely sober-I mean when he
was inaugurated as vice president on
the 4th of March, 1865.
But had not Johnson been a drink
ing man through life?" I have often
been asked. Not to the extent the
one incident implied. Indeed, John
son had always been considered 4
temperate man in all things. I SAT
with him at the same table in Nash
vile at least once a day for eighteen
months, and never saw him take any
wine or liquor with any meal. He
never drank a cocktail in his life,
never was in a barroom and did not
care for champagne. He did take
| two or three or four glasses of Rob
ertson county whiskey some days
| some days less, and some days an
weeks no liquor at ALL So, as drink
ing went in Tennessee, Johnson
would have been termed a strictly
temperate man.-The Century.

DENIES TRANs0CEANIC PHONE.
Goldsc hmidt's Chief Engineer Says
No Message Was Received.

TUcKERToN. y. j.. Nov 22-Emile
Mayer. chief engineer Of the Goldschinidt
wireless system In this country, denied
to-day that the station here had received
wireless telephone message from over
the Atlantic.
Mr.. Mayer was surprised to read in the
newspapers this morning that a cable
despatch from Berlin said there was
communication by wireless telephone be-
tween Neustadt. Hanover. and TuckertOn
on October 81 This statement was
credited to Rear Admiral Emsmann. di
rector Of the LOrenz Engineering Com
pany. who said that a coherent message
was transmitted from the company's sta
tiOn at Neustadt to the Goldschmidt sta
tlOn here on the coast OF New Jersey. I
distance OF nearly 1000 miles.
1T In a mistake" said Mr. Mayer to-
day. Our station here has had no wire-
less telephone message from Hanover
We have never had one. but wireless tele-
graph messages we are getting all the
time now The last one was two days
ago. They come three or four times q
week and are perfectly transmitted
The wireless station here OF the system
founded by DR.. GOldschm,dt. a German
electrician who formerly was designing
electrician In America for the Westing-
house company. has q tower 500 feet
high. The station at Neustadt has \
similar tower
There seems to he mystery in the
wirelss telephone rumors. II has now
been reported on two occasions that wire
less telephone messages came across the
Atlantic. Each time It has later been
