PEOPLE OF THE DAY. The commander of the torpedo boat Porter is Lieutenant John C. Fremont and early in the war with Spain be placed to bis credit an achievement which proved him a worthy son of a brilliant father. Lieutenant Fremont is a son of General John C. Fremont, the brave ami gallant soldier who will always live in history as “The Pathfinder.” The Porter, under command of Lieutenant Fremont, landed a compatr of marines on Cuban soil, the undcr- . wow i I 'yl Ip"’-'*’ LIEUTENANT JOHN C. IT.HMONT. taking being particularly hazardous because of the fact that the landing bad to be made almost under the guns of Matanzas, the fortresses at which point have been so successfully bombarded by Rear Admiral Sampson’s fleet. Lieutenant Fremont's work has elicited praise from the war department in Washington as well as from his superior officers in the fleet. The New Assistant Secretary. John Bassett Moore, the new assistant secretary of state, was born in Delaware and is 38 years of age. He finished bis education at the University of Virginia when he was 19. He surreuJOHN B MOODE. dered a professorship in Columbia university to accept the appointment in the state department. Mr. Moore is not a stranger to the work he has accepted, as he was connected with the department from 1885 until 1892. It Influenced Stockton’s Life. At a recent dinner the postprandial subject was “ What Incident or Thing Has Had a Marked Influence Upon Your Life?” Among those who responded was Frank R. Stockton, the well known author. Mr. Stockton, in his quiet, droll way, went on to tell the story of a little girl who lived upon a farm and was very fond of all animals and outdoor life and was especially fond of horseback riding. Whenever opportunity offered she was sure to climb upon a horse, with or without saddle, and take a gallop about the farm or in the roads. He told how one day this little girl, being out in the fields, saw a horse running loose. She coaxed him up near the fence and jumped on his back. He grazed around and ran about the fields, to her great delight, but finally he saw that the stable door was being opened and he made a sudden break for the stable at the height of bis speed. The young girl enjoyed this very much until she came near the stable, when she saw the door for which he was making was too low to permit him to pass through with her on his back. She was somewhat frightened, not knowing how to get off before the door was reached, but finally she slipped quietly from his back and landed on a heap of dirt without being especially injured. “Now, this little incident, simple as it may seem,” said Mr. Stockton, had a wonderful influence upon my life, for that little girl grew up to be a woman, and 20 years later she became my mother. ” General Clay’s Pension. The bouse committee on invalid pensions has voted to pension Cassius M. Clay, Sr., of Whitehall, Ky.. whose adventures with a girl wife have been heralded the country over, at the rate of SSO a month. The bill passed the senate Dec. 17 last, giving a pension of SIOO a month. He was commissioned major general of volunteers April 15, 1H62, and was assigned to duty in the department of the gulf. He resigned March 11, 1863, to accept a position as minister to Russia on appointment from ; President Lincoln. General Clay also served in the Mexican war. in which he was a captain. He was also captain and major of the Cassius M. Clay battalion, or Washington Clay guards, at the outbreak of the civil war. The pension committee finds that General Clay is over 80 years old, in mfim ; health ami unable to attend to bnsmess. | He has a comfortable home for life, but is without available means to meet his cuxrzitt-nd necessary exnemias.

An American lady, residing in Guantanamo, Cuba, has written a letter to the Oneida Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, speaking of some of the misdirected charities, and stating that among the starving people three things seems to lie essential condensed milk, quinine pills and Scott’s -Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. The request for Scott’s Emulsion was emphasized by the following statement: “A boy to whom I gave some, when actually on his last legs, had just come in looking so bright and happy that it has done me good. Oh! if I had some money! It is terrible not to be able to help the suffering.’' This attracted the attention of the manufacturers, who entered into correspondence with the Cuban Relief Committee, and found that Scott’s Emulsion was being used in the cases of extreme starvation where solid food could not be properly assimilated; whereupon they made arrangements for sending 500 bottles: to be distributed free, in each relief ship that the committee should send forward, and i it is now being used in Cuba with wonderful efficacy. The estimable ladies of Oneida Chapter have been very much gratified at the prompt response with which their appeal was met. The example set will probably be used effectively upon the larger manufacturers of quinine pills and the con- ' densed milk people.

Some Plain Facts. Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of greater or less degree, arise from lack of knowledge of the truth, and more frequently from deception. The most infamous case on record of deception and injustice is the attempt to demonetize silver as a money of final redemption in the United States. There is no learned judge, skilled lawyer, or court of justice that is capable of reconciling the effort with die constitutional laws tiiat govern the issue of money in this country. The people have been deceived, officials in power, chosen to administer justice under the laws, have ignored their sworn duty, and given aid to the scheme that has paralyzed industry, reduced property value; one-half, and beggared millions. There is no authority of law, either specific or by inference, by which gold alone is made the only money with which to discharge debts, either public or private. The effort to make it so is unconstitutional and a : national calamity. Plain and ample information, facts, and truth, concerning this almost successful scheme to corner the wealth [ of the people, is new being printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a news-. paper which the combined power of I money has failed to muzzle or buy. The Weekly Enquirer is only 75c. i a year. The address is Enquirer Company, Cincinnati, O. I

WASHINGTON LETTER. The Gift of the Colonial Dames-The Marine Band Saws Wood—The Baltimore Poem. [Special Correspondence.] The action of the National Society of Colonial Dames in sending a check for SSOO to Surgeon General Van Reypeu has created considerable comment in Washington, especially among the women folk. The letter which accompanied the check said the money was to be used in any way that might most aid the sick and wounded on board the hospital ship Solace. It was the first contribution in response to the surgeon general’s notice that volunteer women nurses could not be utilized on the ship, and pointing out that patriotic women of the country could be of the greatest service to the sick and wounded aboard our warships. While at Norfolk outfitting the Solace for service Dr. Van Reypeu was able, through the generosity of the Colonial Dames, to purchase SSOO worth of luxuries for the sick and disabled of Captain Sampson’s squadron before Havana. The doctor says that the refrigerators of the Solace will hold several thousand dollars’ worth of fruit, chickens and various articles, which would be gratefully received, but which cannot be purchased under the regulations with government funds. The Marine Band Sawing- Wood. For the first time since 1861 the members of the United States Marine band are doing regular duty as enlisted men at the Marine barracks. They are doing guard duty, sawing wood for the fires and doing the chores that fall to the lot usually of enlisted men in the ranks. In 1861 the band was compelled to do the same duty, and its members also manned a field gun which was stationed at the barracks gate. Weber, the orchestra leader, can tell an amusing story about the way the musicians handled this gun. One of them, a clarinetist from vine clad Germany, who knew all about fugues and demisemiquavers, but nothing about artillery, was assigned to tbe duty of loading the gun. He did not like to I show bis ignorance, so he asked a fellow bandsman to tell him what to do. “Yon take the ball, ” said the instructor, “and ram it home good. Then you take tbe powder and ram that home good too. Then fill her up chock to the muzzle with wadding.” “Wasistder muzzle?” inquired the other. "Why, the end of the cannon with | the bole in it,” replied tbe instructor. The embryo gunner faithfully carried out the instructions, and it required a squad of bluejackets from tbe navy yard to unspike the piece. A Poem to the Baltimore. There is in the file clerk’s office at the capitol the copy of a poem which recalls the first visit of the cruiser Baltimore to tbe Maryland city from which she got her name and an elegant silver service. The poem was written by Hon. Walker Y. Page of Baltimore, now 82 years of age. It is all the more interesting because of its connection with Commodore Schley, then commanding the Baltimore. Commodore Schley was born up in Frederick, Md., and is related to the family of Francis Scott Key. Tho poem was dedicated to the Baltimore and was presented to Commodore Schley, who wrote a courteous note of acknowledgment. The first stanza of it runs as follows: Beautiful Baltimore, luide of the sea, Our hearts with our homage we now bring to | thee. Thou come'st to thy “mother’’ her blessing to crave On the nuptials of beauty with wind, tide and wave. He Prefers Young Men. The old Confederate general, Thomas L. Rosser, believes that young men should do the fighting with Spain. “I don’t think,” he says, "Spain would take alarm at tho sight of the few remaining officers of the armies which disbanded 30 years ago if they should march or sail against her, and, not looking for a bombproof position conferring a big name, tinsel and salary, 11 have not dropped into tho line to be counted. Young men for officers, soldiers and seamen are what we need, and not rheumatic, deaf and blind major generals, who know nothing of modern tactics or modern weapons. ’ ’ An Authority on Gunpowder. If Sergeant-at-arms Russell had detected Representative Hilborn with a box of smokeless powder at the capitol the other day, he might have had reason to call his attention to the recent rule forbidding one to take cameras, bundles or other suspicious packages within the building. Judge Hilborn is probably better informed about tho properties of powder than any other member of congress, and the other day be received at the capitol quite a large box of the smokeless variety. He took it up into . the press gallery and distributed the long strips to the correspondents there. To illustrate tbe harmless properties of the powder under certain circumstances he burned several pieces before the grate. The thin slabs, of a color resembling brown sugar, are quicky consumed by fire, giving out a bright flame like the burning of pitch. When set off by concussion, however, the solid substance is decomposed with lightninglike rapidity. Southern Patriotism. C. B. Orcutt, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding company, which has furnished five vessels to the navy and is now fitting out several auxiliaries, showed Secretary Long a telegram recently from the editor of The Manufacturers’ Record, congratulating the > country and the shipyard as well that, tho first capture of the war was by tbe i Nashville, named for a southern city and commanded by a southern officer, I , and assuring him that this typifies the I fact that, whenever and wherever the stars and stripes shall go, southern men ! and southern influences will lead the i way in upholding the nation’s honor. Carl Schofield.
