FrcHching In 'WuKliingtoii a Half Onfciry Ago— Interesting Ex peri euros—Kecol lections of Congressman W ilson as a Student—A Friend of I.inroln and Davis. [Special Correspondence.] New York, Oct. 19.—Few men, comparatively speaking, have l>*'cn ixmiitted to witness and take part in so many important events in the nation's history as the Rev. G. \V. Samson. Although now in his seventy-third year, he is still able to Viear an active hand in the affairs of the day as president of Rutgers Female college of this city, one of the oldest institutions of learning in the higher branches for women in the United States.

THE VENERA BI.E REV. G. W. SAMSON. It was a year more than a half century ago, in 1412, when Dr. Samson was only 22, that he went to Washington to serve as pastor of the E Street Baptist chnrch, a post he was to till to the satisfaction of all concerned for 13 years. It was as pastor of this church that he came into close personal contact with most of the neu who were prominent in national affairs during the decade and a half immediately preceding the civil war. Although he was himself from the north, men from both sides of Mason and Dixon's line were his intimates, and both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davps were his friends before and all through
the civil war.
In Turbulent Times.
It Is Hot surprising that Dr. Samson'e mind is stored with the most interesting of reminiscenses, but \t was a matter of wonder to me ns I sat with him today in his room at the college and listened to his talk that he could have known the leading spirits ot the turlmlenttimesbetweei 1842 and 1360-Tff-he did w ithout
t he same time senator from another state; Tom Corwin of Ohio, secretary of the treasury under Fillmore; James Guthrie of Kentucky, secretary of the treasury under Pierce, and many others. Jefferson Davis often attended Dr. Samson's church, although he was not a member, and when the war cloud’s lightening flashes were devastating the land Dr. Samson was on more than one occasion allowed to pass from Washington through the Confederate lines. Once after a long conference with Lincoln he took a message direct from the Federal to the Confederate chieftain. Ait Important Mission. It was also promised that a cargo of cotton should !«• placed in Dr. Samson's care, sent through the lines to the north, j disposed of in the northern or English market under his supervision and the proceeds sent by him to relieve the for- ; cigu missionaries. This was finally done, with the full approval and co-operation | of both Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Davis. Let1 ters to the missionaries from their south- ! ern friends were also forwarded throngh Dr. Samson, and he was several times allowed to pass through the lines on re-
ligious errands.
It was in 1858 that Dr. Samson accepted the presidency of the Columbian university in Washington. The discipline of the institution down to that time had ' not l)een of the best, and it was hoped that there would be great improvement in this respect under the new administration. One of the first things that the ; ingoing president did was to call the students together and address them something after this fashion: “Young men, I learn with sorrow that there has been some antagonism here between the students and the faculty. Now we have certain rules. They are for the government of the students. You want to improve. That is what you are here for. You cannot arrive at the best results unless every student does his best. I suggest, therefore, that each one of you shall strive not oiriy to keep the rules and to progress himself as fast as possible, but that those of you who understand the location of the line between innocent fun and mischief shall take care of those who do not. Point out the line to them and help them to keep it. Let us create here an esprit de corps that will soiiuuy ami uuiuiu....--
;U1 interests.”
Congt'e'ihmttii WUhoii ah a Stuilont. j While President Samson was talking he noticed thal one of the students—a boy not more than 1(5—was looking the speaker straight in the eye, and he felt that that lad would probably be great assistance. The boy was from Virginia, and his name was Wilson. He had en- . tered the university in 185(1, when but 14, two years before Dr. Samson took
tion of 1892 he placed In nomination the name of the successful candidate for president of the United States, and that he is now the chairman of the most important of committees in the house of representatives—the ways and means. Dr. Samson and Mr. Wilson are still in close touch with each other, and frequently long letters in which the affairs of the <Vy as well as personal matters are discussed pass between them.

New York, Oct. 19.—Rev. Adolph Stoecker, who sailed for Germany the other day on one of the Hamburg line steamers, is a unique personality. His activity in the political arena in Germany while he was court chaplain in Berlin warranted the assumption that he might indulge here in some fierce oratory against the Hebrew race. He did nothing of the kind. The roaring lion liehaved as gently as Mary’s littlo compan-

the religious field exclusively.
But this mild mannered, soft spoken, scholarly looking man, although yet ip the prime of life, has many a time been the central figure of stormy scenes and angry debates. His career is almost a

whom he denounced in unmeasured terms. Herr Stoecker's Christian socialism had hardly more than the name in common with the Christian socialism of such men as Cardinal Newman, Charles Kingsley or Professor Richard T. Ely. The Berlin socialists were not willing to see the workingmen lured away into the government camp. They attacked Herr Stoecker with great vehemence from the platform as well as in their press. During the winter of 1877-8 the struggle became wore and more intense. Herr John Most, in a series of stormy public meetings, met the court chaplain in joint debate. The largest halls were insufficient for the immense crowds that came to listen to the combatants. When the smoke of the hard fought battle had cleared away, it became apparent to every good observer that Stoecker’s scheme of winning over the wageworkers had signally failed. Then came 1878 and the two attempts at the old emperor’s life. The reichstag was dissolved, and in the new elections Herr Stoecker secured a seat in a prominent district. He worked and voted fo. the antisocialist law by virtue of which socialistic publications, meetings and organizations were handed over to the police, without a trial—without even a hearing often. That vote settled Stoecker's political status with the radical elements forever. The man who pretended to advocate social refonuo and helped to
