Senator Benjamin Harvey Hill Predict
ed That His Attack on Mahone
Would Be His Last
Speech.
With the possible exception of Alex
ander H. Stephens, vice-president of
the confederacy, no other statesman of
the south who entered congress during
the reconstruction era so greatly in
terested both members of congress and
visitors to the capitol as did old Ben
lamin Harvey Hill of Georgia. First
as a representative and then as a sen
ator, he was especially conspicuous be
cause he was the member of the state
convention of Georgia in i861 who
earnestly opposed the proposed seces
sion of that state. After Georgia se
ceded, however, Mr. Hill gave his
earnest support to the cause and be
came a member of the confederate sen
ate, where he met George G. Vest of
Missouri, who served as a confederate
senator before he became a United
States senator from Missouri. Vete
ran members of congress of the seven
ties and early eighties who remember
ed John C. Calhoun thought they de
tected a strong physical resemblance
between Senator Hill and Calhoun, at
least in the contour of the features,
the heavy over-hanging eyebrows and
the stiffly brushed hair.
Undoubtedly the greatest speech
that Senator Hill delivered during his
congressional carrer, which began in
1S75, and ended seven years later, was
that in which he vigorously attacked
Senator William Mahone of Virginia
for his unexpected alliance with the
Republicans, a move that brought
about a tie, instead of the slliht Dem
ocratic majority which had been an
ticipated.
Senator Hill sat in the front row, on
the aisle, of the Democratic side. Sen
ator Mahone had been alloted a seat
at the end of the row upon the Repub
lican side. Therefore it was poessible
for Senator Hill to face Senator Ma
hone without changing his seat or
even stepping from his desk to the
aisle, and through the delivery of his
castigation of the befrilled man
from the Old Dominion, the Georgian
took advantage of this position to drive
home his sentences of damnation of
Mahone's course in the senate.
Senator Hill began with a voice
that never seemed more powerful to
the packed galleries and the body of
the senate. It was of vast volume, a

The only one of the Grant children
who did not accompany the general
and Mrs. Grant on any part of their
famous tour around the world, which
began when they set sail from Phila
delphia in 1877. following the close of
the general's second term as presi
dent, was their second son, U. 8.
Grant, Jr. Years later, when this son
had become a well-known resident of
San Diego, I called his attention to the
fact, and asked why he did not take
r the trip.
'" have always regretted that I was
not able to make the journey," was the
reply, "but there were one or two good
remons that operated to keep me at
home. I had been recently graduated
from Harvard and the Columbia Law
school and had just begun the practice
of law. It did not seem expedient that
I should break in upon my life's work
thus early by taking part in a world
tour that perhaps would occupy the
better part of three years. Further
more, it was necessary that some one
should be in the United States who
could look after father's busaness af
fairs, and because there was a very
good personal reason why I should re
main at home. I was gives the task
of managing father's business matters
for him while he was absent from
the country.
"Well, after father had started I de

relating to such of his business as I
might be called upon to transact As I
beheld these seonats grow from
month to mouath, I veeted with some
pride that upon father's return I
should be able to lay before him ao

a complete and full statement of all
collections and expenditures made by
me in his behalf. And, I must con

deep, reverberant bass. Yet, not long
after he had started upon his strictly
parliamentary tongue lashing of the
man who was hated and despised of
the Democrats, he occasionally halted,
as though trying to catch his breath.
Then, at times, his voice became sud
denly husky. Again, what seemed to
me to be an expression of pain passed
over his features, and towards the end
of the speech he paused frequently,
often that he might swallow a drink
of water, which he took as though his
mouth were parched.
Perhaps half an hour after the sena
tor had finished speaking it fell to my
lot to meet him ta a horse car going
down Pennsylvania avenue. I ven
tured to say that I had had the pleas
ure of listening to every word of his
speech, and was sure that it would at
tract widespread attention. As I spoke
I noticed that he held his mouth open
in a peculiar way.
"I thank you for what you have
said," the senator replied. "But I am
fearful that it is my last speech in
the senate."
"I thought you were occasionally in
some physical distress," I said, as the
senator paused.
"You were correct," he said. "Some
portions of the speech were delivered
while I was in great pain, and nearly
all of it was delivered under much
Yankee's Secret Berlin Visitr
How Frederick W. Holls Brought
About the Adoption of an Amer
Ican Plan by The Hague
Conference.
The secretary and counsel of the
American delegation to the first peace
oonference at The Hague, called in
1899 at the instance of the czar, was
the late George Frederick William
Holls, who, for many years prior to
his death, enjoyed a large German
American law practice in New York
city. Mr. Holls was especially qualil
fed to act as the delegation's secre
tary and counsel, partly through his
ability as a lawyer and his familiarity
with international law, partly by rea
son of the very cordial relations he
had established at the Germian court
the year before, and partly because
near I began to look for a compliment
on 'the manner in which I had attend
ed to his business and on the accurate
and complete story of his business at
fairs that the account' would tell to
him.
"Of course, some time after fa
ther's return we were too much oc
cupied with greetings, with receiving
friends and congratulations- and with
listening to the various stories that
father had to tell of his experiences, to
get down to the business that lay be
tween ,hlm and me. But, finally, there
came a iL when I placed before
father my account books, vouchers and
other documents essential to perfect
accounting, and said to him:
"'Father, I have tried to keep very
careful and accurate accounts of your
business affairs since you have been
away, and I think I have done pretty
well. I have here a general statement
of receipts and disbursements, a de
tailed statement, and a complete set of
vouchers. I am sure that you will find
the accounts all right, and I would like
to have you look them over.'
" 'Well, my son, father asked, 'did
you receive enough money to pay all
my bills promptly?'
"'Oh, yes, the receipts were abund
ant.'
"'Well, you have paid all the bills?'
" Yes., every one.
"'Was there anything left over?
" 'Yes, quite a little sum.'
"'Then take your accounts away and
lock them up; I don't care to see them.
So long as all the bills were paid, and
so long as the balance remains in my
favor, what do I care about accounts?
That's all I want to know.'
"And do you know," concluded Mr.
Grant, "I could never get father to look
at those accounts I had kept so palas
takingly against the day of his return.
But I think he was not a little proud
of the way in which I was able to hand
a general report to him by word of
mouth."

the malignant growth reappeared, and
then it was that the senator knew he

he spoke German as though it were
his native tongue.
"When I first arrived at The Mague."
Mr. Hollis said to me shortly after he
returned therefrom, "I was a little
diffident about taking any active part
in the conference. Andrew D. White,
one of my associates, was universally
known abroad because he had served
as ambassador to Germany, and also
because of his identification with Cor
nell university. He was well acquaint
ed with the kaiser. My other associ
ate, Beth Low, was also a man of in
ternational reputation. So, you see,
my first inclination was to keep in
the background as much as possible.
"But in the course of the delibera
tions of the conference a matter that
I deemed most vital to American in
terests came up for discussion-I am
under pledge not to reveal its na
ture-and almost before I realized it
I had lost my shyness and was in the
thick of the deliberations. For sever
al days we Americans pressed for the
adoption of our point o! view, only to
discover eventually that the German
representatives, the French and at
least one of the British delegates were
opposed to it. And when we sought
for the real reason of the opposition
- we discovered that it was based upon
a statement made privately by one of
the German representatives that the
feature would not be favorably re
garded by the German emperor, or,
at least, by those who were high in
t his official family.
"I for one did not believe that to
- be true. I made up my mind that I
1 would verify or disprove the state
1 ment of the German delegate, and to
I that end I was able to secure a delay
t of a day or two in the final discussion
without saying anything to anyone of
my purpose. Then, quietly, I slipped
r out of The Hague by a night train,
and the following day was in close
touch with the emperor of Germany
t himself. A little inquiry satisfied me
that the kaiser and his official family
f had been misrepresented, as I had
i suspected. But it was going to be a
e delicate matter to make a report of
that kind at The Hague. The German
delegate who had either deliberately
I or innocently misrepresented his im
oerial master might feel offended, and
he certainly would not be disposed to
feel very kindly toward me.
"However, I was authorized tactful
)y t' report that the feature which we
Americans were especially desirous of
seeing adopted would not be regarded
with disapproval by the emperor or
d his oflcial family. That announcement
. I made in due course, and as tactfully
d and politely as i knew how. You can
y imagine the surprise that was caused
by what I had to say. I was asked
how I knew. 'I took the night train
, to Berlin and spent a few hours there
k since I last saw you,' I replied.
i- 'That reply was sufficient. We
i. Americans had our way; and what we
d regarded as one of the most important
d matters brought before The Hague
if peace conference was in that way
made certain of final adoption."

Not a egal Case
By DONALD ALLEN
Copyrtght, IMQ, by A modted Ulterary Prm
They said of Jack Montagu in his )
club that he had been hit hard. He I
hadn't been hit with a sand club or t
a policeman's club. After having been
a cynic on the woman question for 1
many years he had at last been hit a
by the club of romance. I
He was a bachelor of eight-and- t
twenty, athletic, good-looking, andt
had money. No one called him sporty, i
but everyone agreed that he was a
gentleman and a good fellow. t
Mr. Jack Montagu had been hit a
while promenading the avenue. He
had promenaded a thousand times
before, taking his bulldog out for an 1
airing. A bachelor gentleman must I
own a bulldog. If he dosen't he is a
sure to be called eccentric. Some of
his fellow-members will go as far an
to say that he has got a grouch
against the world.
The woman in the case was tall and
willowy. She had the eyes and hair
he had dreamed of in his callow days.
She had the walk of a goddess. And
Montagu saw the goddess leave her
carriage at the curb and sail into a
mercantile gstablishlent.
Flirtation? Nothing of the sort. A
goddess on her way into a store to
purchase an oriental rug doesn't stop
to flirt with a gentleman leading a
bulldog. It would be scandalous.
This particular goddess sailed along
totally indifferent to bachelors and
canines, and Mr. Montagu hadn't
traveled a hundred feet when he met
some one who could and did give the
name of the goddess away.
At first sight it looked as if the
romance was to stop right there. The
young lady was a way-up goddess.
Her father owned about half a dosen
railroads, and she was a shining
light in society. Mr. Montagu owned
nary a railroad, and his means didn't
permit of over fifteen different kinds
of winter overcoats. Besides, the
Four Hundred hadn't opened the
doors to him. Montage feared his
romance must stop with an occa

came shopping. But no-it shouldh't!
Mr. Montagu had fallen in love and

fice of his friend Davison. Davison's
wife was a society woman. She and
Davison might work the problem out
some way.
It was at noon the call was made.
Davison was a lawyer, and he had a
stenographer. She was eating her
lunch off the typewriter, while the
boss was taking his at some swell
place outside.
"I'll wait for him," replied Mr.
Montagu when told that the lawyer
was out

you'll have to wait for Mr. Davison.
I remember now that he said he
might be in court this afternoon."
Mr. Montagu hIsd been observing the
young lady before him, not brasenly
and impudently, but in a shy and
modest way. He put her age at
twenty, and he saw that she was fair
to look upon-daughter of a widow,
perhaps, and had sees better days.
After he had seen her walk across
the room he made up his mind that
she was almost another goddeas.
They were beginning to cross his
path, and he might meet a third one
in a day or two. All at once a bright
Idea seized him, and after turning it
over for a couple of minutes he said:
"It's not a legal ease, after all, and
perhaps you can help me."
"Very well."
'I-I think I've discovered the most
beautiful girl in the world."
"Um!" replied the stenographer.
"I-I think I'm in love with her."
"Yes?"
"Yes, I think I am, but yea see I
don't know her."
"That's not such a bad feature of
the case. There are hundreds of ways
of bringing it about"
"By George, but I'm glad to hear
that! Since Mr. Davison is out, and
since this is not a legal case, let me
ask you to advise me In a friendly
way. It's rather queer, of course, but
then-then--"
"Just what Is It you wish to
know ?"
"Why, how to get to know the
goddess."
"I should call at the house with a
subscriptidn book."
"Lord, no! It's got to have a so
clety twist to It, you see."
"Why, don't you claim to be a
count or lord?"
"Played out. They've got ways of
spotting the bogus ones inside of a
week."
"You might call to interest her In
some charity," was suggested.
"But you can't talk over eye and
ear hospitals with a goddess, can
you? She'd probably give me a check
for $50 and then forget my name in
ten minutes."
"And there's no way you can save
her life?"'
"I can't think of any, and I've been
trying to for two days. If she was
going to be blown up how would I
know in advance and be on the spot?"
"But see here," said the girl as the
look of perplexity left her face, "you
haven't told me the name of the god
dess yet. If I'm to advise you I must
have your confidence."
"That's so-that's so. Well, she is

"Never."

Three evenings later Mr. Montage

came on he said:
