NEWS OF THE THEATERS CHANGE OF ENTERTAINMENT AT THE PARK AND EMPIRE. Pnsey and St. John in "A Run on the Dank" and Pat Hellly'a Shovr Clyde Fitch's Condition. At the Theater To-Dny. GRAND. Vaudeville, 2:13 and 8:15 p. m. PARK. "A Run on the Bank," 2 and 8 p. m. EMPIRE. Rellly and Woods's show, 2 and 8 p. m. "A Ran on the- Ilnnk" nt the Park. The second musical farce of the week at the Park is "A Run on the Bank," pre sented by Charles Pusey and Bert St. John and their company. The piece was used several years ago by Ward and Vokes, and Pusey and St. John retain the names Percy and Harold, by which the first-named comedians have been tagged for years. Pusey and St. John use nondescript make-ups Instead of the regu lation tramp costumes. They are clever at foolery, and their show is full of dis connected nonsense. The first scene is the yard of the home of General Noteshaver; the second, the Interior of Percy and Harold's bank (bar attached), and, third, the ballroom of the Palace Hotel, San Francisco. Besides the principals, C. J. Burkhart and Robert Blasco are the most prominent members of the company. Uurkhart has a studied Jew caricature, and Blasco Imper sonates a "buttons" that Is continually turning somersaults or diving through windows and over fences. All the members of the company are specialists and they alternate with a chorus of lively gJrls. The entertainment goes quickly. In the third act there is a pretentious burlesque of grand opera. The show is above the average of the porular-prlced musical farces. It will stay at the Park until to morrow night. Pnt IU Illy at the Empire. Much as Pat Iteilly is admired at the Empire Theater, he never Is heavily ap plauded. Possibly his audiences look on him as too Intimate a friend to need noisy approval. His present visit shows him not to have changed. He has the same short cigar.' which lfe brushes with his stubby umbrella, and he continues to spit on the st-age. His caricature of the ignor ant Irishman is very near the truth and is one of the best hits in "the variety." He Is too rough for vaudeville. He can carry on a dialogue that has little point and make It comic because it Is natural. For Instance, he has this polloquy with the leader of the orchestra: "There are two kinds of German. Hoch" spits and wipe his mouth "or the pure native German, and Platt Deutsch. The Hoch was invented by a man from Cincin nati nnmpil 1 Inrhhelmer. C;in vein nuL- Hoch:" i Leader Yes. i "All right, now we'll try you. S'pose I a.sk you if you'd like to have your leg cut off. what do you say?" Leader Nein. "That's right, that's right! Now. a lot of you people out there don't understand German, but 'nein' means 'no.' " (Ruts the ashes off his cigar, spits and blows his nof .) The lit lily characterization is not a dainty thing, but for the ordinary, rough male it passes for good art. During the last summer lay-off. Ketlly went to a san atorium and was cured of the habit of making lightning chalk pictures of a ship burning at sea. He had been troubled with this for many years. Reiliy's show Is still called "IMIy and Woods's Big. Show." The vaudeville olio is long and of fair quality and th enter tainment closes with "A Merry Whirl." a farce, in the company are the Molasso Salvaggi troupe of dancers, the Josrary acrobat?. Frank D.

I1ALDWIX, OF LOGANS PORT, REMINISCENT. j Tlinnehts Called Out hy the Lincoln i League "Meet Ing Visitor ! at the Hotel. Judge D. P. Baldwin, of Logansport, at the Denlsron yesterday, said: "The flood of young oratory at Terre Haute yesterday reminds me of the fact that so Ions as In diana was 'a pivotal State, and when its election in October determined who was to be President in November, it was the best place in the United States for an ambitious young politician. Look at the list of big men twenty years ago, remembering that then Morton and Colfax were just dead. Among the Democrats were Hendricks, McDonald, Turple, English and Voorhees. To match them the Republicans put up Col. Thompson, Harrison, Butler,' Gresham and Porter, all of whom, except Porter, at tained high office. Since Indiana has be come a reliable Republican State, and the necessity has ceased for these protracted and bitter contests for supremacy, 'Rome has lost the breed of noble bloods.' "The Democrats made their greatest mis take since the war when, in 1893, after Cleveland's triumphant election, they de liberately abandoned the always Interesting and always available tariff Issue for free silver. There is small hope of success for them except In local matters before 1906. unless their opponents make some huge blunder, which they are not likely to do. So long as Bryan and his followers refuse 'to go 'way back and sit down,' the Re publicans have a sure thing of it. "The Republicans are a great deal brighter, more up to date than the Democrats. Suppose Philadelphia and its Common Council were Democratic? The world would not hold the noise. Philadel phia might easily be made more than -an offset to Indiana. But the Democrats don't seem to know how. All the great comic newspapers, which exert so powerful an influence upon public opinion, are Repub lican. 'Nothing succeeds like success.' The dominant party will always draw to it the bright young men they who do the hard work and by and by make the suc cessful leaders." WABASH RIVER EXPERIENCE. A Sons That Han Significance for Clay C. Hunt, of New Caittle. "There is a song called 'On the Banks of the Wabash,' " remarked Clay C. Hunt, of New Castle, yesterday afternoon, "and occasionally when I hear it whistled or sung I am reminded of a time about seven teen years ago when I was not only on the banks of the Wabash, but was In mid stream for a while. I was rather a young fellow those days and was traveling for a school furniture supply house, selling goods to township trustees. One day I went to Terre Haute and found I would have to go across the Wabash river Into the country to see a trustee. I got a horse and buggy in Terre Haute and started to drive, Reaching the river I found it running pret ty high, and also found it would be neces sary to cross on an old-fashioned ferry, which was equivalent almost to pulling one's self across on a flatboat. The ferry was In charge of a boy. I drove on with the buggy and we got falriy started, when the rope attached to the rear of the boat that served to .keep it from swinging down stream broke with a snap and the boy be gan to cry. He seemed to be distressed over the fear that his father would scold or whip him. and in his excitement dropped the rope with which he was pulling us ashore, hand over hand, Into the stream. Of course, we then lost control of the boat, and it swung rapidly down stream. The boy commenced to howl with a vengeance. I was certainly in a fine plight floating down the Wabash on a flatboat with a horse that I feared would become unman ageable and a boy that was almost helpless with fright. I got desperate finally. 'Look here,' I declared, addressing the boy, 'you stop that crying and come and hold this horse or I'll kick you off this boat, and you can swim or drown. Now, you can take your choice, for I mean business.' This declaration settled the youngster somewhat, and he took charge of the horse. Then 1 got hold of a pole and sought to shove the boat toward the bank. I found that the water was too deep to accomplish much, and we had floated for a mile and a quarter perhaps before I managed to get near enough to a bank to get the horse off. We unhitched the animal and let it Jump from the boat and finally managed to pull the buggy off. I think that was about as thrilling an experience as I ever had with water." ROBINSON MADE A .MISTAKE. In n Genial .Mood He Called an Old Maid rand ma." Some Fort Wayne Republicans who were in town yesterday were talking of James M. Robinson, the Democratic representative in Congress from the Twelfth district. "Some time ago," remarked E. P. Dailey, "I was walking along the street In Fort Wayne when my attention was attracted to a part of a letter lying in the snow. I picked it up and was able to make out part of the con tents, although the letter had been torn to pieces and thrown away. I made out these words, however: "Since the Republicans have come into power they seem to have a strong determination to down the old sol dier. Therefore, at the present time I can do nothing for you." The letter was signed by James M. Robinson and the signature had been placed there with a rubber stamp." "Yes," remarked another of the party: "that's Robinson style making a play for the old soldier vote." Another of the Fort Wayne men told of Robinson's inclination to shake hands and say something pleasant to people an inclination that once got him into trouble. On this occasion ho ap proached an elderly woman with a smile and an extended hand. 'How do you do, grandma?' he said. 'Shake hands with your member of Congress.' The woman looked startled and then blushed profusely. Robinson saw that something was wrong and walked away. An acquaintance who saw the incident came up to him with the remark. 'You d d fool, that's an old maid.' " Inspecting Hot "Water Plant. . Several Elwood citizens were at the Ho tel English last bight, having come to the city to inspect a hot-water plant with a view to putting In a similar concern at Elwood. A franchise has been obtained in that city and some of those interested in the scheme are inspecting' plants in other cities. Among the visitors were W. A. Do Hority and S. B. -Harting.

Charles F. Sayles was resting easier last night, and his physicians feel encouraged. Dr. Jameson said that Mr. Sayles had un dergone his most critical period yesterday morning, when a blood Vessel burst In his brain. The hemorrhage was stopped and it is thought no serious result will follow, although he is not out of danger. Dr. Jameson said the attack which Mr. Sayles suffered was not sufficiently acute to pro nounce it apoplexy. PRINCE HENRY'S- TOUR. It Will He Under the Personal Super vision of George W. Boyd. Brooklyn Eagle. Prince Henry's personally conducted tour of the United States will be made under the guidance of the greatest expert In such matters George W. Boyd, of Philadelphia. No other man in the United States or Europe has had so much experience in per sonally conducting the tours of distin guished men. Every trip of any distance taken by any President of the United States or any foreign visitor of importance to this country has been under the per sonal care and direction of Mr. Boyd. Probably no man in America has come Into such close touch with the notable celebrities who visit this country as he has. No one citizen has been so intimate with so many Presidents and makers of Ameri can history. When they traveled they did so under his care and with him. Beside being a well-known railroad official, he is a diplomat. He knows Just the proper balance of relation to hold between himself as the representative of a great system, as an American citizen and any potentate or President who is traveling under his care. His position is both executive and social. Everybody on the train that will take Prince Henry sight seeing through this wonderful country, of which the Kaiser is so anxious to know, will be responsible to Mr. Boyd. He will be socially the next man to the prince, for it is part of his work to remain with the celebrity and put Amer ica and its railroading, Its commercial Im portance, its development, its resources, its history, before him. What the Kaiser knows when the prince returns will be very largely what Mr. Boyd told. On this trip, as on others, he is the interpreter for the United States. Before this trip of Prince Henry's, which begins on Washington's birthday, Feb. 22, Mr. Boyd will have his hands full. The State Department consulted with him as the representative of the Pennsylvania Railroad as' soon as if was decided that the royal visitor would come. Everything was then put In, Mr. Boyd's hands. His task Involved the choosing of cities to visit, routes to take, hotels to stop at, the time to be made and the locomotives and their crews that are to bear the special train of seven cars. The making of the time schedule is a hard bit of work in itself. Every road over which the train passes has to be consulted with. Coaling, fresh food, switching are a few of the Incidental things that Mr. Boyd must arrange for. In short, he must carry a train of seven cars filled with peo ple of great Importance over thousands of miles so that they may live In luxury and not miss anything of interest or im portance and never receive a moment's an noyance. No other country has these tours for the pleasure and observation of the great. It Is not possible in any country except Amer ica. In no other spot in the world can one travel 6,000 to 8,000 miles without changing cars. This feat astounded President Harrison and President McKinley, American citizens used to the marvels of this land. It is almost Impossible for a foreigner to grasp it at first. Prince Henry will probably hand down the story of this feat to the third generation of Hohenzollern royalty, Just as the infanta of Spain is yet doing, though she didn't make a quarter of this trip, and as Earl LI Hung Chang did to his last day In China. It is safe to say that no American saw LI Hung Chang at such close range and knew so much of his opinion of America as did Mr. "Boyd. He personally conducted this grand old Celestial through the United States from the time he set foot in New York. , v LI Hung Chang had eighteen servants, thirty-rive sacred birds, his coffin, boxes of food, about 100 pieces of baggage and three or four guests, one of whom was a Chinese lord. The first day out the official and the vice roy had their first and only tilt as to who was in authority on that train. Frank Thomson put his own luxurious car for the earl's use when he started off from New York. Another car that had a double brass bed and bath and more comfortable night equipment was to meet them at Washing ton for the long journey. The earl became attached to Mr. Thomson's car and didn't want to leave it. He said he liked the open fireplace, it Interested him as a novelty. He liked the chair by the window, In truth he said he wouldn't go out of it. The twenty attendants nearly stood on their heads In fear, because the baggagemaster calmly went on moving all the luggage out of the car. The Interpreter danced around like something mad on the platform and told everybody In stiff language that It couldn't be done; that the viceroy be headed everybody who disobej-ed him. The yellow Jacket had been donned and the peacock feathers, but the earl wouldn't move out of the car. Things were getting mixed up when Mr. Boyd said to him through the Interpreter: "It Is necessary for you to take the other car. It is better, you can't sleep in this on, and the other has everything arranged for you. You will dke it very much better than this one." "I will not go," said the viceroy. "I will keep this car." Then came the critical moment. The en tire suite stood trembling for the result. All the thirty-five sacred birds were squak lng on the platform, the royal coffin was resting on the shoulders of the attendants and the train had to go on. "You cannot have this car," answered Mr. Boyd, "and you must have the other car. I know more about it than you do and I am only thinking of your pleasure when I tell you you must come with me." The interpreter could hardly be made to repeat it. and the viceroy iooked at the of ficial with a stunned expression, then he shook his cane In Mr. Boyd's face and said "1 will hold you responsible for this." The next morning Mr. Boyd was sent for by the viceroy, who told him that he was an honorable gentleman, that he had per fect faith in him. and that he never spent such a comfortable night in his life. That now he wanted this car all the time. It was the finest he ever saw. The Word "Chauffeur The Great Round World. "Where podte usage gets Its authority nobody knows. Now. it is saving that 'valet,' the final syllable of which we have learned to give off-hand with a high-bred 'a.' shall be Anglicized just as 'parquet' was a few years ago. and shall appear In polite society in its plain English stubbi ness. It is likely that we shad all stumble and stutter and make mistakes at first. but eventually fall in a line of ets.' There are those who claim that a polite 'suburb' should have a long 'u.' that 'tapestry' should be 'a' long, and that the sun never 'shone' politely with a long 'o.' The same authorities are busy with the new automo bile importation 'chauffeur' (sho-feur). which has been called everything that is polite. It might be called something more, for it Is not a truthful term. It means, when Interpreted, fireman.' 'stoker,' and Is innocently a good joke on our million aires who speed their own 'autos. THE WOMAN IS STUBBORN 31RS. STEFANEK MAY BE SENT TO JAIL AND HUSBAND RELEASED. She Refuses Absolutely to Turn Over Jewels In Her Possession Oth er Court Cases. Mrs. Franz Stefanek continues to baffle Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, and the attorneys conected with the case, with her stubbornness in not turning over jewels In her possession to secure a debt and in cidentally to secure the release of her hus band, who is in jail by order of the court for falling to produce the security. Philip Rppaport, who was engaged by the Stef aneks after Seidensticker & Florea had tried their hand at the case and were un able to do anything because of the attitude of Mrs. Stefanek, has now dropped the case as relating to her and is doing what he can to get Stefanek out of jail. The attorneys for both sides were before Judge Carter j-esterday, asking that Mrl. Stefanek be sent to jail and her husband released. She was sent to prison with her husband, but on account of a family of small children Judge Carter released her. Judge Carter does - not know what to do in the matter, as she has been released, but It is understood that a petition of some sort will be presented to the court this morning providing a means of releasing Stefanek and committing his wife to jail instead. Mrs. Stefanek admits having the jewels, but says she will never turn them over. Judge Carter and the attorneys say they never before had such a difficult proposition confronting them. 9 A PECULIAR REQUEST. Woman Makes Allegations and De mands an Answer.

The Fisher Automobile Company yester day filed suit against the American Bicycle Company for $125 damages. The plaintiff alleges that a forty-volt rhoestat was or dered of the defendant company and, in stead, an eighty-volt rhoestat was deliv ered. When it was used to charge an auto mobile the batteries were burned out and the plaintiff was put to an expense of 1125 in making repairs. It is charged that the American Bicycle Company knew what kind of rhoestat was wanted and what kind of machines it would be required to charge. It is also set out that the plaintiff did not learn that an elghty-volt rhoestat had been delivered Instead of one of forty volts until the batteries in the automobile were burned out.

The father of plaintiffs, who was killed in a railroad accident, was a man of large property and had contributed about $2,5u0 a year towards their support. The rail road company urged the unique defense that the plaintiffs had suffered no pecuni ary loss, but were In fact benefited by their father's death, in inheriting his estate. This testimony was excluded, the court stating that the law does not open the door to anything so shocking as a discus sion of the xoint whether the death of a parent was an actual loss or gain. It was said: "A son who Is receiving nothing from his father living, may be said to be benefited pecuniarily by the parent's death, but we have yet to learn that a railroad companv, by negligently causing death can in this way become the gratituitous or un solicited benefactor of children who prsfer their father living."

A telegraph company has the right to establish reasonable hours during which its office shall be kept open for the trans mission and delivery of messages, and a rule not to deliver messages received after 7 p. m. until the next morning was not unreasonable in a town where the bustnets of the company was not large enough to justify the employment of a special mes senger to deliver messages after 7 p. m.

The Court of King's Bench, of England, has Just decided that damages which re sult from a nervous shock eccasiöned by fright, unaccompanied by any actual Im pact, may be recoverable in an action for negligence if physical Injury has been caused to the plaintiff. In this case the plaintiff was behind the bar of her hus band's public house, she being then preg nant, when the defendants, by their serv ant, so negligently drove a team of horses into the house as to frighten her. The de fendants were also negligent in intrusting the driving of the horses to their servant, who had no knowledge or skill In driving. The plaintiff in consequence sustained a severe nervous shock, became seriously ill. and gave premature birth to a t child. 2 K. B., 609 Pawnbrokers Internal Revenue. By a decision of the commissioner of In ternal revenue, It is said that the business of loaning money and holding policies of insurance as collateral security for the loan Is not that which is ordinarily and usually known as the business of a pawn broker, and a special tax of a pawnbroker is not required to be paid- therefor. 5 Treas. Dec. No. .459. AN HEIR TO MILLIONS YOUNG NEW YORKER'S WEALTH CAUSES HIM MUCH ANNOYANCE. Reset by Men frith Axes to Grind, He Had to Leare College and Barricade Ills Home. New York Letter Ir hlngton Star. There is a quiet. ,th-faced lad of twenty in this town, i student at Colum bia, who has been learning during the past week or so what it means to be real busy. This boy's grandfather died about a month ago. The old man was known to be pretty rich. He was a millionaire who kept his name and his personality obscure because he despised the notoriety of riches. Even his most intimate friends hul no Idea as to the amount of money he had accumu lated during his long life, although when Senator Depew heard of his old friend's death he remarked that folks would be surprised when the will went to probate. The twenty-year-old grandson had never been looked upon as the heir to the old man's wealth. He lived with his grand father, but there were others, nearer of kin, who lived with him, too, and It was figured by those who like to speculate upon matters of this sort that the lad would be provided with a mere bagatelle of half a million or so In his grandfather's will. The boy didn't travel with the bloods of his age at any period of his upgrowlr.g to young manhood, for his family had never been in the social swim of New York, nor had it ever pined to get into that swim. The young fellow stood on a level plane with his mates at Columbia, even with the ambitious young chaps working their way through the college. Nobody, in fact, paid much attention to him, and he occupied himself during all of his waking hours in attending strictly and exclusively to his own business. CHIEF HEIR TO BIG ESTATE. Last week the terms of his deceased grandfather's will came out. Under the terms of the will it was discovered that the grandson was set down, in an admira bly drawn document, to receive the bulk of the estate. The yellow papers announced that the boy's share would be many mill ions. It was on the very day that the an nouncement of heirship was made that this young man was forced to become actually busy, perhaps, for the first time in his life. They got after him like bloodhounds after an escaped convict In a swamp. There were Just forty-eight persons waiting for him when he emerged from Columbia at noon the day the papers announced his ac cession to great richness. They wanted to make clothes for him. They implored him to permit them to take his foot measure, right there on the street, if he would be so good, that they might make shoes for him. They begged him to permit them to pend him a few dozen hats on probation. They eloquently pictured how meritorious and fashionable they were as manufacturers of shirts. They entreated him to mention his underwear sizes, that, they might in stantly send him a few specimens of their latest Importations In that line. They told him how necessary it would hence forth be for him to Join the brigade of arbiters in the matter of neckwear. They desired him to name his preferences, to gether with his size of gloves. They pre sented the advantages of the establish ment with which they were connected in the matter of exclusive designs in stick pins, watches and other Jewelry. Would he not name an afternoon upon which he could come down and look over the finest stock of automobiles in the Western hemi sphere? Could he undertake to give his solemn promise that he would patronize no other New York florist than the one named on this business card? Could he dream (deprecatingly inquired several of the forty-eight) of extending his distinguished custom to any other caterer than So-and-So, he that is so cherished of the wealthj' elect? Surely he would not demean him self by permitting any other brand of champagne than Such-and-Such a one to appear on his table? Of course he would now need many horses hunters, hacks, all the varieties ard of course he knew the one horse purchasing agent in New York capable of immediately fixing him out In that respect? As for interior deco rators, well, here was the business card of the one solitary firm In New York In that line. HIS HOME INVADED, TOO. And so they swarmed around the flushed youth, pushing and shoving and almost fighting for his ear. They represent every thing but manufactories of glass eyes, wooden les and speaking trumpets. After fifteen minutes the young- man contrived to push his way through the mob and climbed into his trap. He drove to his late grandfather's home his own home all his life and when he alighted he was pulled VYttfZ KS S4 A.

Lest You Forget We Say It Yet-- Uneeda Biscuit and hauled for twenty minutes by another mob, comprising perhaps fifty or sixty of the same sort of individuals who had way laid him at the college. He kept his head and his patience, gave them each a non compromising word or so, and eventually was permitted to walk up the steps and let himself into his home. He had no soon er passed the threshold, however, than he was held up again by persons, who. In the guise of howling swells, had awed the servant into admitting them to the. house. These wanted to insure the young man's life for a million or so, right then and there, or they wanted to sell him outright, at a stiff and stipulated figure, & gentle man's library of Eo".000 volumes, or they wanted half an hour or so of hi? time in order to paint for him the desirability of purchasing an annuity, or they felt It in cumbent upon them, having his interest at heart, to illustrate to him how quickly and easily he could quadrupl his inheritance by investing most or all of it In Texas oil fields; and so on. until the lad sped up the stairs for his life, and from that coign of vantage ordered the male servant to waft them all Instantly out of the house on pain of Immediate dismissal. The boy hasn't been to his lectures since that dajr. He is virtually barricaded in. his own home. The cop on the block says that he sneaks out after dark for exercise afoot, and then sneaks in again like a guilty per son. All of the male servants of the estab lishment, including the coachman and other stable employes, are, said to be stationed in the hall of the house, with orders to macerate the howling swells with axes to grind who attempt to force themselves past the portal. In the meantime a United States mall wajon drives up to the man sion four times a day. and each time a large sack of circulars, most of thm beau tifully got op and with full letter post age, is dumped in the basement. The young man has to spend most of his waking hours In extracting his bona fide letters from this mass of chaff. One of the executors of the will states that the young man is contemplating an Immediate trip to Africa to shoot okapl. and dwarfs, and other recently discovered animals over there. He Is going to stay close to the Congo until It all dies away. He is a long-headed boy. In the meanwhile the number of persons over here who would be willing to endure the annoyances here described and make themselves martyrs to the mob under the same conditions is astonishingly large. A FREAK OF FATE. Deseent in Life of Former Chief- of the Weather Ilnrean. Ann Arbor Special in Detroit Journal. Once a professor of astronomy in th University of Michigan at 52,2o0 a year, & writer of text-books that are authoritative; later president of the University of Uash Ington at $4,000 a year; still later chief of the weather bureau of the United States; to-day a common "lumber Jack," earning $1.50 per day at Port Blakely, Wash., euch In brief is the sorrowful story of Mark W. Harrington's life, once the proud editor of the American Meterologlcal Journal, now the handler of a peavy. A freak of fats swept him from the tcp shif J7t!vins!gnlfi- cance. It was not dissipation nor any romantla episode that brought Harrington to his present lowly station in the world. It was insomnia. It is said that while a professor at Ann Arbor he could rarely find rest in sleep more than one or two hours of the twenty four. This strain on his system gradually broke him down as a pound thinker. Mark Harrington came to Ann Arbor from Sycamore, 111., in 1S64 as a student and was graduated in 16S. He took his master's degree three years later, in the meantime acting as curator for the mu seum. Then he became instructor in mathe matics, and from there he was transferred to an assistant professorship in geology, zoology and botany. In lb?9 he was, made professor of astronomy and director of the observatory. While instructing the undergraduates of Ann Arbor in astronomy he pursued his In vestigations along the line of higher mathe matics and wrote several works which ar now used as text-books throughout the United States. Here he remained until 1ML when he was made chief of the weather bureau of the United States. During this year he was vice president of the interna tional meteorological e-ongress at Munich, whose members came from all parts of the world. He held this position until 1594. In somnia commenced to tell on him. and it is said that his charts commenced to be un reliable. Then he went to the State of Wash ington as president of the university there. A change came during -the year 1S. in which the former administration was re moved and a new one replaced In the State offices. The president of the university was never a politician, and on that account lost the presidency. Harrington then came East and remained for some months at Ann Arbor. Thence he Journeyed to the Orient. Misfortune still pursued him. In Hong-Kong he had a severe attack of scar.et fever. He arose from his bed penniless. He finally secured money by tutoring to buy a passage to this country. Gradually he drifted to the South, so poor in purse and so tollworn in appear ance that he was too proud to hunt up his former friends. Thus he went to work on a sugar plantation in Ixmisiana. Side by side with negroes and poor whites, he la bored in the cane fields and at the great presses. Finally he drifted back to Washington and took up a homestead claim and began the life of a hermit in the mldet of a heavy fir forest near Sumas. Later he went to Port Blakely and secured the position of nicht watchman at the lumber mills. The former university president now lives in a cabin built from slabs sawed from the outer faces of great fir logs. It contains but one room, and that a small one. It Is furnished with a couple of chairs, a table, a stove and a bedstead. A shelf made from rough lumber which is nailed to the wall over the rude table is piled high wlth. books. They are scientific treatises on mathematics, astronomy and botany. Each morning Mark Harrington rises, bathes and cooks his breakfast. It Is coarse food the fcod all millmen eat. Then h packs his lunch bucket, dons his canvas Jumper and heavy spiked bocts and starta for the yard. At present he works among tjie floating logs. Peavy in hand, along with a gang of rouh giants whose speech, is marked by profanity and coarse Jest, he does his share In cartlnir the fallen for est giants Into their places. At night he digs Into his books away from the uncouth and illiterate mill hands. It m said that his outdoor lire is making rum strong, hardy, ambitious, and that he now gets his regular sleep. He has hopes of onee mere taklnr hhi conspicuous place in the solentlfic and In tellectual world. Mrs. Harrington its living with one of her sisters in New York city. Ex-Scretary Gagf'i Strength, Brooklyn Eagle. Former Secretary Lyman J. Gige it noted for the possession of physical strength remarkable in a man of his years.
