Secretary Seward a
Man of Iron Nerve
By Holland

William II. Seward, Secretary of
State in the administrations Of Lin
coin and Johnson, was esteemed
when a member of the Federal Senate
as the most patient, considerate, long
suffering, and forbearing of any Of
the members of that body. But the
self-control of which he showed him
self to be a master when he was a
United States Senator was trifing-

erick w. Seward be accurate-in
comparison with all that he endured
when serving as Secretary of State in
both the Lincoln and Johnson ad-
ministrations.
Secretary Seward was not only be-
set and overwhelmed almost with the
opportunities of ofiiceseekers, but was
even more notably embarrassed by
some of the diplomatic matters which
he was compelled, often in secret, TO
direct. especially some which had
relation to the attempt of the Con-
tederacy to establish and maintain
successful diplomatic relations in
Europe

l sometimes think that the most re-
nsarkable power of endurance which
he possessed was his ability TO con-
ceal the fact that he was suffering
physical pain.
Shortly before the assassination OF
President Lincoln my father was
thrown from a carriage in which he
was riding to the street. Fortunately.
his life was spared. although by a
narrow change. but his jawbone was
broken and ne must have suffered al
most indeseribable pain. Yet he was
able to conceal the fact that he was
suffering greatly, although we knew
that he was How serious the frac-
ture was was manifested by a con-
trivance of the surgeons. who put his
jaw into sort of iron cage, so as "a
hold it in place, thereby making il
the more practicable for the fractured
parts to knit together. This inn
movable position of the jaw made il
impossible for him to talk, and for a
time he was nourished exclusively by
liquid food"
Frederick w. Seward was not able
from personal knowledge TO describe
the additional pain which the at.
tempted assassination of his father
by Powell on the night of the as
sassination of President Lincoln oc-

Nevertheless. not by any expression
Of countenance or any movement OF

matters that were at hand in the
State Department. At last he insist

by which his subordinates in the State
Department could be guided. Al
though the gentlest movement must
have caused him pain. nevertheless
he was lifted a little and then a pad

NOT A SQUARE DEAL.
Louis King Wins Sympathy of Court When Spotter's Method Is Explain ed.

Another of the liquor cases growing out of the activities here since the first of the year of Lewis Simoncini,
 an agent of the state police. was ad- justed before Deputy Judge James N.
 Tucker in the town court Monday
 morning, when Louis King, a young
 man, was presented on a charge of having made a sale of whisley to Si- moncini. By telling his story of the
 affair King won the sympathy of the of $10 and costs of $1S.69, but re- | mitted all excepting the officers fees
 of $2.59, which amount King paid According to Kings version of the affair." Simoncini approached him and solicited him to buy him some whis- in his possession for his own use,
 King offered it to Simoncini as gift and only accepted Simoncini's money in payment after it was repeatedly proffered and urged upon him. Sj-
 moncini was not present in court. Judge Tucker considered this method of fixing illegal sales upon person, as related by King and accepted by the court, as hardly within the bounds of what is ordinarily considered a square deal, so made the cost to the young man as light as possible; but by so doing disclaims all sympathy | with illegal trafhcing in liquor, de- string only that justice be done in each and every case as the circum- stances surrounding them may deter mine.
 Lively Caucus This Evening. Indications are that there will be 1 a live caucus this evening and that the nomination of borough officers will
 not be the merely perfunctory pro- ceeding of recent years. There will be | some contests for places on the c@t- | izens' ticket, as the non-partisan list | has been termed and Drohab1v some | spirited balloting for at least two of | the important places on the ticket. The caucus promises to be interest ing.
