COMMITTEE MEMBERS
IN CITY THIS WEEK.

1t is probable that the Governor has
gone over the situation carefully with at
! least some Of the members Of the board
! The purchasing committee was In Indian
apolis this week for the purpose Of CON
sidering proposals for the purchase Of
supplies and a number Of them visited
the Governor
The possibility that the Governor may
have some difficulty in making removals
at the Statehouse recalls the trials ex-
perienced by Former Governor Goodrich
when he undertook to remove Edwin Lee
as a member Of the public service COM
mission on the ground that his political
affiliations were not right. The removal
was accomplished only after a bitter
fight
The resignation Of Mr. Shelton is the
third asked for by the Governor so far
as is known. The irst was that Of Paul
P. Haynes as a member of the public
service commission and the second that
of Miles Scheaffer as insurance commits
sioner.
The indication that Mr.. Robinson is to
be appointed to succeed Mr.. Shelton re-
lieves the minds of large number Of
persons about the Statehouse, who are
circulating various stories to the effect
that he is to be rewarded by appoint
HleuL " dlLuOoI every pOSlltUu III the
State.
The finding of a berth for Mr. Robin
son settles the future activities of one Of
Governor McCray's campaign managers.
There still remains TO be found a place
for Lawrence Lyons of Brook, the other
manager. 1t is generally reported that
he will be made director of the State
highway commission.
Mr.. Shelton's home is in Rochester and
Mr.. Robinson's in Charlottesville.
GOVERNORS LETTER

The Governor wrote Mr.. Scheaffer the
following letter:

person to fill the position now held by

ton, the same to become effective April

man, especially when actuated by
noble sentiments. He used to speak
of his height to every tall man he
met, and to propose measurlng-an-
other guileless habit of self-gratifica-
ton. The only refusal he is known
to have received was from Charles
Sumner, who was also tall and proud
Of his height. Sumner was worrying
the President as he often did, about
some perplexing matter, when Lincoln
abruptly challenged him to measure.
"Sumner declined" said Lincoln, max

Cut Lincoln OF His List.

General Huidekoper in 1862 detailed
two companies of his regiment to
guard President Lincoln'S summer resi-
dence. He saw the President constant
ly and they became real friends.
The first time the general met the
President, Lincoln, who had heard that
the Huidekopers came from Holland,
inquired: what is the difference be-
tween an Amsterdam Dutchman and
any other damn Dutchman?"
And the general, who admired Lin
coin above all other Americans, adds
"If l had had any awe of the Presi-
dent 1t was then and there forever
gone."-Girard, In Philadelphia Ledger.

The work he did, the sum Of his
deeds and their great fruitage, may
inspire the chronicler of our national
life and the recorder of Gods hand
writing in the annals Of His world !;
but to the rank and file, who know
but vaguely the details Of his heroic
achievements, the memory Of Lincoln

saddening personal presence, latter

Of Sorrows.
