NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY I Speech That Cured a Great Orator's Severe Headache. * How Rufus Choate, Though Suffering Agonies, Delivered Eloquent Address and Speedily Rel covered from Attack. By E. J. EDWARDS. When Zachary Taylor was nomi I nated by the Whigs for president in I | 1848 one of the great orators of that Il day, who today is famous in history J as one of America’s greatest orators, was Rufus Choate, cousin of Joseph ) H. Choate, formerly ambassador to | Great Britain. Rufus Choate had also I long enjoyed the distinction of being I one of the country’s leading Whigs. I and because of this fact and his gieat I oratorical powers he was besought to I take part in the presidential camI I paign as a supporter of General Tay- | I i lor. Though his law practice was then J | almost overwhelming him. Mr. Choate , 1 promised to make a few speeches. Among the places where he was assigned to speak was one of the important suburban towns near Boston — Brookline. But when, on the day for the speech to be made there, the committee called upon Mr. Choate at his ball in Brookline, the great lawyer | was found to be suffering from a ragJ ing headache. The agony was so I great that he could hardly speak; and I in the hope of getting some relief " from the pain he had saturated his ) long curly hair with some sort of I counter irritant, the odor of which I was very palpable to the members of | the committee. I Notwithstanding this physical ' agony, Mr. Choate, saying nothing, ' went from his house to the carriage II that was awaiting him. and the jollr- | hey to the hall Was begun. All the J : way there he pressed his hands to his a | temples, supporting his elbows upon I bis knees; and he gave other signs of ! such <kp|» distress that the commit- ! tee was afi'fcfd that he would be unable to make Ills Speech. In fact, the member,? advised him hot to attempt it, saying that they would procure a substitute speaker. But to bis sug>gestlon Mr. Choate shook his head most decidedly, and that without res moving his hands from his bursting temples With great misgivings the commit tee escorted Mr. Choate to the plat form, and as he stepped Upon it it seemed to them as though the great lawyer was on the verge of collapse. The whole expression of his face was that of a man suffering almost unf bearable pain, and he was most un steady on his feet. At the moment of his introduction to the audience he stood leaning I heavily with one hand upon the speakI er's table. In that position he rei mained for the first minute or two of his speech, and his opening sentences were delivered in a voice so faint that even those nearest to him were scarcely able to catch what he had • said. The committee, who knew Mr. Choate’s condition, were sure that he would speedily be com pt lied to desist, when, suddenly, he was observed to stand erect, and the next moment, to their intense astonishment, he had t gained his voice, and soon was in the midst of one of the finest political orations which had ever been delivered in Boston or Ils vicinity. And until he had spoken his last word he I held the great audience enchanted Then, while the applause was still , filling the hall, he turned to the committee, saying that he was ready to go home. A member asked him if he did not feel like taking a little rest i before undertaking the trip. “No,” was the reply. “I am perfectly well. I was not standing before this grand audience two minutes before every throb of agony in my head vanished. I knew that if I had the i chance to speak my headache would be cured.” I tell this story on the authority of , the late Gregory D Robinson, who ’ was a member of congress for * de- ' cade from the Springfield. Mass., dis- 1 i trict. and then, from 1884 to 1887, was 1 , ■ governor of Massachusetts, defeating I Ben Butler in a whirlwind campaign ' (Copyright, 1911. by E. J. Edwards. All ' ' Rights Reserved.)

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY When William C. Whitney Would Not Trust Anybody. In Making His Generous Contributions to Political Campaign Funds He Never Took Chances, Even With His Friends. By E. J. EDWARDS. The late William C. Whitney, secretary of the navy during Cleveland’s first term as president, and before and after that period in his career one of the leading Democratic politicians rs the nation, was one of the most generous distributors of campaign funds the country has ever known, and he was as successful in collecting funds for campaign purposes as any man of his generation in either party, with the possible exception of Governor Marshall Jewell of Connect!- | cut, who was chairman of the Republican national committee during the presidential campaign of 1880. Yet, despite his lavishness of distribution, Mr. Whitney knew what he was about every time he distributed campaign funds. He was not one of those who disbursed campaign subscriptions lavishly and then was indifferent as to the uses to which they were put. He knew- of the temptation to which some politicians yielded of keeping for personal purposes a part of the campaign funds that passed through their hands —an easy thing to do in the old days, when no detailed record of disbursements was made. Mr. Whitney was a firm believer in the expediency campaign contributions by large corporations that might have favors to ask of the politicians or of the legislature. He warmly approved of the method pu ■ < ' ■/ the late Henry 0. Havemeyet, 1 es.deut of the socalled sugar trust, who testified before a congressional committee at Washington in 1814 ; the trust Was on the coais ot ptjL-licity, that hisj company was accustomed to sea apdlT a lump sum when political campaigns were pending, and then, dividing it i#to two equal parts, give one-half to the Republican nad one half to the Democratic party, simply for the purpose of obtaining “protection." When Mr. Whitney was the brains of the Old Metropolitan traction system of New York, Democrat as he was, he nevertheless recognized with perfect impartiality each of tile political parties. The Democratic party received pecisely the same contribution in the name of that company which the Republican party received, and in each case the contribution was made with the implied understanding that the company would be “protected” against | adverse legislation and against the approach of political blackmailers The late Senator Thomas C. Platt used "to tell his friends with much chuckling an incident which came under his own observation, illustrating both the generosity and the sublety of Mr. Whitney with respect to campaign contributions. “I received information one day that Mr. Whitney would be glad to see me at a certain office ami at a certain hour," said Mr Piatt. “I did not doubt what the purpose of the summons was, tor a campaign was under way. So I went to the office named at the hour appointed. Mr. Whitney received me cordially and then he asked: “But where is Chauncey? 1 sent for him.' “‘Chauncey who?’ I started to ask in reply, when suddenly it flashed over me that Mr. Whitney had also sent for Chauncey M. Depew, and did not propose to go on with the business hp had with me until Depew was present. So once more a message was sent to Depew that Mr. Whitney wanted to see him, and when he had arrived In the presence of both of us Mr. Whitney made in behalf of his traction company a campaign contribution to the Republican party. And he said to us very frankly, as he handed out the money, that he was treating both parties exactly alike —that the Republic ans were getting no more and no less t an the Democrats were. “But note how shrewd he was; he was so shrewd and careful that he didn’t purpose to pay over the contribution to just one member of the party —another member nad to be present also when the contribution was made. Ho didn’t distrust me any more than he did Chauncey; he trusted us both, but, nevertheless, he vasn’t going to pay over that money until we both were present and could verbally acknowledge receipt of the sum. And so far as I know, he was always that way; he never took any chances even with men whom he trusted. He was the shrewdest, as well as the most generous dispenser of campaign funds of any man I ever met.' ” (Copyright. 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.)
