Ex-Gov. LONG DEAD.
Former Chief Executive CT Nassac hU-
sets III Only Two Days.

BOSTON, August 30. - Ex-Gov.
John d. Long died in his home in
bingham Saturday night from uremia,
after an illness Of only two
days. MIR. Long was born III Buck
field, Maine, Oct. 81, 1898. lie grad
uatcd from Harvard in 1857, was prin-
cipal of Westford academy two years,

He served four terms as representa-
tive in the Massachusetts, legislature,
being spea ker three times. In 1879
he was elected lieutenant governor, and

from 1883 to 1889 and was secretary
Of the navy in the Mckinley cabinet
at the time of the Spanish-American
war iii 1898, resigning that position III
1907.
BY a queer combination Of circum
stances Mr.. Long just missed being
| President of the United States. At the
convention which nominated Mckinley
| for q second term there was no recog
ni2ed candidate for the yirc prcsiden
! cy. President Mckinley was anxious
! to have Mr.. Long as his running mate
Senator Mark Hanna, his manager, wa.
! likewise in favor of Mr.. Long. The
nomination of Long was as good as
settled until Senator Plat of New
York, anxious to get rid of Roosevelt
as governor, insisted upon the nomina
ton Of Colonel Roosevelt for secont
place. President Mckinley and Ham;
protested and declared for Long, bat
Plat was insistent Plat won hi:
point, Roosevelt agreed to run, an,
Long was left off the ticket. But fo-
Platt, Secretary Long would have beer
chief magistrate of the nation at Ne
Kinley's death.

WHY THEY CHAIN GUNNERS.
French Writer Says Germans Do So
Only to SteadY the Guns

PARIS, Aug. 30.-A writer in ILLUS
tration demolishes the legend that the
Germans chain the men serving their
machine guns to the pieces in order to
keep them from leaving their posts.
He says that chains are undoubtedly
used, but simply to enable the gun,
ners to steady the weapons, and that
the practice was common in the German
army before the war. Besides, it j,
easy for the soldiers to unfasten tbs
chains, which are attached merely b.
hooks on either side of the men ::
belts.

The mention of the name of Col. Saw
yer of Hyde Park (Nt.) as one of the
only two men now living who were mem
bers of the convention which nominated
Abraham Lincoln for the presidency,
brings to mind a pleasant little incident
which occurred in Hyde Park many years
ago, showing his kindly nature and his in
terest in the little folk The late Dr. Ed
ward Fisher of Toronto, Canada, whose
mother died at his birth, was taken into
the family of her grandfather, the late
George Fisher of Newfanc, where his
childhood days were spent. At the age
of nine or 10 he spent several weeks with
his uncle, Charles Dutton, in Hyde Park.
The legislature was then in session, at
which time the act to legalize his adop-
tion was passed. Col Sawyer was a mem
Der of the legislature Upon his return
to Hyde Park he planned party of Ed
wards young friends to be held at his
uncle's house, which was carried out.
Soon after the party convened Col. Saw

How to Make Money at "Art" Told By Young Lady Who Has Fashioned Gowns for Members of Winter

 Because it is July and the world is full of schoolgirls who want to "do something a phrase it is, "do something'-and the world Is equally full of people who lecture, and very properly, on technical training and the abolition of genial willingness and amateur enthusiasm as A substitute for professional preparedness. it's time to go back and tell a fairy tale.
 A fairy tale is never rational save as faith is rational. Who Is it--for I forget-who says that the uttermost romance is the only matter of fact affair?
 Never Studied "Art.''

 Well. she smiles. T went to the Cooper Union, thinking I would like to take the fashion class. found a lesson being given on the drawing of raincoats I thought this was rather slow, so I commenced doing costumes for a chorus of revue. The teacher came around and I quickly hid what had been doing, but she insisted on looking. Instead of giving me good scolding she told me my work was wonderful, and took me to one of the directors, who advised me to finish the sketch and try to sell it. took 1t to the Schuberts and MT. Ellis bought 1t from me, ordering two more. That was on New Years Day, and it seemed good omen, which 1t proved , to be, for in the spring I was again sent for to help with the Winter Garden show

 Wanted to Work for Wayburn.
 She tells of how from the com mencement of her success she had always had an idea that the one man she wanted to work for was MT. Ned Wayburn. So for three whole weeks from early morning until night with the greatest perseverance, did she try to see him. But in vain.< The people around him guarded him so closely that not a glimpse of him could she catch. MT. Wayburn's assistants ini- plored her to only let them peep at what she had to show, but nothing would induce her to do so.
 So, just to get rid of me- she laughingly tells. for by this time they had grown tired of the sight of mo. they let me in to MT. Wayburn. He asked me ho wlong would I keep him. ""ren minutes said I. But once he had seen my work he would not let me go and right away ordered from me all the designs of the Reisen- weber Restaurant Review.

 And her eyes gleamed at the thought of her own success, which is still a little strange to her.
 She tells of the business of her { days and of having so many orders that she lodges people in the street for fear they would want her . to work for thsm, hating to refuse.
