NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Man Who Would Not
Sit Beside Thuriow Weed
By Holland.
When Thuriow Weed became a
member of the lower House of the
State Legislature at Albany, having
been choeen by the Anlt-Masanlu
party as a représentative from Roch
ester, N. Y., he was fortunate enough
to secure one of the beat seats In the
House, assigned by lot. His neighbor
upon the right was Charles L. Llv
Ingstou, of New York, a member of
the distinguished Livingston family,
another man*!.«., nt ..... .....

adralnlB ration another relative being;
Chancellor Livingston, of New York,
whose mysterious disappearance was
an exciting national topic. The mys
tery of that disappearance has never
been cleared up
On the second day of the session
Weed discovered that his neighbor,
Mr. Livingston, had given up his seat
and had in fact paid the représenta
Hve from one of the remote rural
dlstrlcle of the state twenty-five dol
lers as an Inducement to the farmer
to swap seats with him.
Mr. Weed was deeply wounded bv
this action, for he had reason to sus
pect that the aristocratic Livingston
did not want to he seated beside the
young member from Rochester, whlrh
at that time was just beginning lo
give the hint of the growth and in
fluence which the village was to at
tain within a few yeara.
Homo weeks after the session
opened Mr. Weed introduced a bill
containing proposed measures m
which the citizens of Rochester and
the Genesee Valley were deeply In
terested. Upon (ho passage of thlt
hill and Its enactment Into law Mr.
Weed based his hope of success as
a member of the Legislature.
The measure was referred to a>
special committee named by the
speaker of the Assembly, who ap
pointed as chairman of thal commit
tee Charles S. Livingston, of New
York. Many years lalor Mr. Weed
recalled the circumstance while dial
ling with friends at his home in New
York (Tty one evening.
"I was desperately disappointed
when the speaker announced that he
had appointed Mr- Livingston chair
man of tho committee." said Mr.
W'eed. "I had not spoken to or in
any way recognihed Mr. Livingston,
because I so keenly resented the in
sult, as I thought it, to me when ho
(laid tweni'y-fivc dollars so as to se
cure a seat remote from mine.
"1 was notified that there would
he a meeting of this special commit
tee at Mr. Livingston's bouse. He
was one oi the wealthy members who
was able to hire a bouse for tho en
tire session.
"I was completely beside myself
when I received this notification. My
duty to my constittuents and my hope
of gaining success through the passage
of this measure caused
