Yot the fact Is being kept from the public through regard for the aged poet. Whitman Is extremely sensitive on the point of his own physical welfare, and any allusion to hi condition brings fotth confidential expressions of his buoyancy of spirit, yet III concealed ad mission of weakness. The weather during the past few weeks has been particularly distressing to him, and lie has been unable to leave his house to breathe in the sunshine and the light he so loves. His rolling chair became a familiar object on the streets of Camden for a few weeks this spring. Every day or two the picturesque figure of the great shaggy beard blowing in the breeze, the huge white hat and the Units snugly incased in a heavy woolen shawl, was pushed along ou the suaay slik t. of the streets by the sturdy young iiiau who acts as the poet's body serv ant On every hand the wheeled chair and IU famous occupant was greeted wlih deeo respect, children whispering to each other as it passed: That's Walt Whitman." The chair baa not been see o ike streets for weeks, sad iauulry at his ictUtnce oh Mickle street Is met with I he- answer that Whitman Is suffering with a severe cold, and that be b not at all well. Whitman will be 71 years old oa Sat urday Best, but it U doubtful If be will be able to attend the quiet little dinner arranged to take place as a celebration in this city. A few of bis most Inti mate friends and admirers have ar ranged the affair, Lawyer Thomas B. Hamad, tke port's cluse friend and counselor, reluctantly admitted that Whitman la failing rap Idlv, that a marked physical change bas cuute over aim. and that his friends arc just beginning to realise U. Whit uiau was never of a robust pkyaioue, and of receatyears be has been feebler UitJi ever. Br.

PENNSYLVANIA AND TEXAS, Member or tlie fair CommlMlon Knmeil by Sir, WMtinmnker. The President's choice for World's Fair Commissioners has croated a flutter In certain political circles. Thus In Pennsylvania the selection of P. A. 11. Wldener as commissioner-ut-large was a complete surprise to the Keystone delegation, and an unpleasant one" to some oftlictu. Alonzo fehotwell had thu Indorsement of tho two Sen ators, Messrs. Cameron and Quay, and nil the Representatives, oxccptlu;: alone, Mr. DaUvll. Indorsing Mr. Wldener were Post-master-General Wanamukor nnd Mr. Stephen U. Klklns. They favored him. It Is said, because the leaders of the Fair wanted him on account of his great experience In transportation mat ters and his connection with Chicago's street railroads. The delegation Is hurt as well at as tonished at the weakness of their "pull" In the matter. Postmaster-General Wauamaker is also credited with having caused the selection of Mr. Henry Kxall.
