STATESMEN AT REST.

LUXURIATING XT MOUNTAIN AND SEASIDE AFTER TARIFF LABORS.

Rome Warm Weather Stories About Public Men—An Interviewer's Experience In New England—Senator Jones of Arkansas on Circnmstantial Evidence.

[Special Correspondence.]

Portland, Me., Aug. 9.—I have been traveling through New England seeing a number of statesmen in the'undress of summer, and I can bear witness that no man relaxes so thoroughly as a congressman who bas just fiuisbed off a job of tariff making. Speaker Reed tells me he bas not practiced law in many years. Senator Lodge told me at bis home in Nahant that he fonnd time for only the most fragmentary literary work. Congressman Dingley looks after bis newspaper in Lewiston when be is at home, but it is in good hands and runs along as well without him. Senator Halt, if he does not go to Europe, spends his time at Poland Springs resting after his arduous labors at Washington. Senator Frve visits bis camp on the Rangeley lakes in the fifebing and bunting seasons and spends the warmer weather at Squirrel island on the coast. Senator Chandler is the most active of the New England statesmen. He spends thje .summer months writing ml hot political editorials for his paper at Concord. Senator Morrill spends the summer quietly at his old home in Strafford.

An Int«rvl«wpr'ii Troirtles. Two yearn ago I made a like trip through New England. I was 011 an interviewing tour then, and I had some experiences I shall not forget. Most of them wen agreeable, and none was pleasanter than an afternoon I spent with Speaker Reed driving about Portland. Mr. Reed was not interviewable, partly because he was a candidate for the presidency and partly because he finds it profitable to put his thoughts on paper and sell them at the rate of about 10 cents a word. Mr. Reed, by the way, may be financially sound in this, but politically I think he makes a mistake. His writings do not add much to his reputation, while in conversation or short, range debate no one displays a keener wit or a more ready tongue.

In the course of my journey through New Eugland'I called on a public man —I won't say what his titlo is—and interviewed him. He knew he was being interviewed because I told him so specifically and offered to submit the manuscript to him for revision. As he is notoriously inflammatory and incautious in conversation, I edited what he had said before using it. One phrase was left in unwisely, and it threatened the public man with trouble, so he wrote to me some time afterward, denying the accuracy of the interview. I replied, quoting unpublished things he had said to corroborate the accuracy of the published phrase, but he answered, again denying it, and there, so far as I knew, the matter rested. Eight or nine months later I met a man who knew the statesman. He referred to the story and said, "Blank tells me he never even saw you that the iuterview was made up from beginning to end." I replied that his friend must have been joking, as I spent an entire evening in his library talking with him. Very recently I met one of our foreign ministers, recently appointed from the public man's state. He, too, referred to the interview and said something about wicked newspaper men. "Why, Blank tells me." said he, "that he did not. have a word with you that you passed him in a boat somewhere, and he merely nodded to you." There was only one reply to be made to that. I said that Blank was a liar. Perhaj's Blank meant both these statements in pleasantry, but they were lies and calculated to damage the reputation of another man so they wen* open to criticism as well as correction.

Koaiilt of an Afterthought. I had an amusing experience of the same nature with the general of the army just before he started for Europe to view the war whic had ended before he sailed. General Miles is a very pleasant man to meet, and he is extremely obliging to newspaper correspondents when they want his views on military matters, lie is an agreeable man to interview, partly for this reason and partly because he always bas something to say which is worth publishing. One day not long before be went to Europe called by apj ointment and had an interview with him. It was so brief and there was so much packed into it that I asked him if he would like to see a proof of the matter and revise it before publication. He said he would, so when the matter was in type I sent a copy of it to him. and the bearer of tbe proof stood by the general's desk while be went over it. He made only some uniniportnnt verbal changes in it and handed it back with bis approval.

Now, in this interview, remembering

the reports of the failure of the dvinimite gun in Cuba, I asked him if he thought The matter had escaped my memory in the dynamite gun was to be a factor in the next great war. and he replied that it had been tested unsuccessfully by the war department, and that it had been a failure 111 Cuba, so that he did not consider it a serious possibility amoiij^ the factors of the next great conflict. When this statement t« published, it attracted the attention of the makers of the dynamite guu. and they called tbe general to account. 1 «uippos*\ for there appeared in a New York paper the day after the general sailed for Europe an "authorised statement" from bim which said not that he had made a mistake in speaking of tbe test of the dynamite gun. but that he had been misquoted by the interviewer.

Thi\«e are characteristic experiences, Newspaper interviewers am not infallible, neither are military men nor lawE.akers. and it happens frequently, probably iu the experience or knowledge 1 of every pul lie man. that tbe inter* I

views which are denied by public men are accurate and that tbe public men are lying about tbem. I know of one case where man gave a prepared interview to (be correspondent of a western newspaper at Washington with tbe request that it be published. This man was a member of the boose. Some one called bim to account on the floor of tbe house for something be had said in the interview, and the man flatly repudiated the remarks. In doing so he branded the correspondent who had sent out the interview as a liar. As soon as the house had adjourned this man went to the office of tbe newspaper correspondent and pleaded guilty to this bit of trickery. He said that be bad not realized the possible effect of the interview until he saw it in print, and that he was obliged to repudiate it. He begged the correspondent to let the statement he bad made that day in tbe house go unchallenged. Tbe correspondent did so.

A Question of Veracity.

Here is another authentic case which occurred in the last administration, related to me by a member of tbe senate a few days ago. A fellow senator, now in New England, came to bim and quoted something outrageous which President Cleveland was reported to have said. "He could not have said anything of tbe kind,"said the first senator. "I shall ask him about it." Before the first senator could get to the White House there appeared in a New York paper an interview with tbe second senator, in which he accused tbe president of making the offensive remark. When the two senators met again, the first said to the second, "I have seen the president, and he denies that he ever said anything of the kind." The next morning there appeared in a local paper an indignant denial of tbe .interview published in New York. Senator No. 2 said the correspondent of the paper had misquoted and misrepresented him. There the matter rests. Tbe public record makes the correspondent appear a liar, but tbe senator who told me the story knows that the liar is bis friend, tbe senator from somewhere.

I had a conversation with Benton McMillin of Tennessee recently and wrote it out that afternoon. When he had read it, he said to me: "That is one of the most remarkable feats I have ever known. You have written down everything I said 'and in my own lan guage, and yet you did not take a note of any kind." Senator Morrill, making some changes in an interview with him at Strafford, said, "I have no doubt I said all these things in just this way, but I would rather have them appear differently." Chauncey Depew, revising a report of a conversation which was not intended originally for publication, said it repeated what he had said accurately, but he thought it was too "dynamitic" for public use, and so he modified it.

A short time ago I had a long talk with Senator Jones of Arkansas, the chairman of the Democratic national committee.

Our conversation turned to newspaper interviewing and the injustice which the senator thought some newspaper correspondent had done him. I told him how easy it was for a man with the most honest intentions to misuuder stand and so misquote the man he was interviewing. An interview reproduced from memory is usually the thought of the interviewed expressed in the words of the interviewer, but always the thought as the interviewer interpreted it. "I appreciate the value of accuracy," said the senator. "I had that impressed on me during the war. At one period when we were living on very short rations—a few ears of corn each day for each man—some one made an accusation against one of our comrades in connection with the supplies. I denied the charge rather indignantly and said that I would tell the man about it that he might defend himself. Later in the day I saw the man and told him what had been said, and he \vi*it back and abused bis accuser. Not long afterward I said to the man next me, 'When I repeated what X. said, it did not seem such a dreadful thing after all.' 'I should say not,' said the other man. 'You left out tbe most important part of it.' And he repeated to me what had been said in the language the accuser had used. 'I thought yon modified it on purpose,' he said. At first I thought that I would write 011 and correct my report of the charge, but on second thought I concluded that the accused would probably kill the accuser If I gave him the story literally, and I restrained myself, but I learned in that little experience how easy it is for man \o forget tbe most important part of what he has heard some one else say.

Odd Instances.

In the course of my conversation with him Senator Jones told me of an odd operation of the mind coming within bis professional experience. "I11 my early career as a lawyer," he said, "I was employed as counsel in a case, and I prepared a brief, ready to go into court The case did not come to tTial, and my brief was put away. Some years later the same case came up again.

ease before when I had bad so little experience, I coold uever bave prepared a brief like Ibis then.' I \?-ent to my safe to look for some other papers tbe next day, and among tbem I fonnd tbe old brief which I had prepared rears be-

Wasting Electricity.

Carelessness on the part of the motorman is, according to recent investigations, the cause of a great waste of electrical force. This occurs at the starting and stopping. Sometimes the power is left on until after the brakes are set, at other times there are merely partial currents, but quite enough to foot up a considerable aggregate. In fact, it is estimated that as much as 20 per cent of power may be lost in this way. So noticeable has this become that it has been found advisable to adopt a very simple devioe by means of which tbe lost current is, at least approximately, measured, and tbe amount thereof can be charged up against the nnskillful or careless motorman.

This device consists of a strip of alloy placed in a box prepared to receive it The alloy is held against tbe wire by a weight attached to tbe lower end of tbe strip. It is supported by a short piece of German silver wire of such cross section as to be heated by tbe current which flows through it to oper ate tbe car. At a certain temperature tbe wire melts its way through the strip of alloy, thus allowing the strip and weight to descend. There is an automatic device to prevent injury to tbe recorder or tbe stoppage of the car in case tbe wire should melt under an ab normal current. Tbe recorder is pushed into place, at tbe same moment closing the car circuit. To insure its use the ar rangement is such that unless the re corder is in place the circuit is open and the car will not start, A record is kept of tbe number of miles each man runs and tbe number of inches of alloy melted during the run. This is returned at tbe end of a month and is posted up over against the man's name. It bas been estimated that a considerable sav ing is effected by this means.—New York Ledger.

Singular Signs.

Of unwittingly ludicrous or humor ous signs there are plenty. A tinsmith near Exeter, England, bas a sign which reads, "Quart measures of all shape and sizes so'i here." At a market town in Rutlandshire the following placard was affixed to the shutters of a watchmaker who had decamped, leaving his creditors mourning, "Wound up and the mainspring broke. Equally apposite was one in Thomaston, Ga. On one of tbe principal streets the same room was occupied by a physician and a shoemaker, the disciple of Galen in front while he of St. Crispin's trace worked in the rear. Over the door bung the sign, "We repair both sole and body." On the windows of a London coffee room there appeared the notice, "This coffee room removed upstairs till repaired." The proprietor of the place was not an Irishman, though theframer of tbe notice over the entrance to a French burying ground, "Only the dead who live in this parish are buried here, must have been.—Demorest's Magazine.

Light.

It is now the general conclusion of scientists that light is simply the result of vibrations or waves which occur iu a hypothetical substance known as tbe ether, a substance supposed to permeate all space and all objects and to be Co-, extensive with the universe. According to this theory, when the ether is caused to vibrate at a certain rate it gives rise to the sensation of light in proportion to the rate of vibration, or, in other words, the wave length. In this way, chemists assert, the various colors are produced, red having tbe longest wave length and violet the shortest wave length of any of the colors—that is, there are more waves or vibrations in a given time in the case of violet than in the case of red light. Brit fly, in relation to this peculiar phenomenon, the theory is that colored bodies owe their color to the fact that they exert a selective action 011 the waves or rays of light which fall upon them, allowing some to pass on, and so give the effect of color, while others are absorbed or destroyed.

Banking In Melbourne.

The banks and banking business here are a marvel to Americans. There are 1? banks in this city. The three largest have deposits of nearly £18,000,000 ($90,000,000). They carry large cash reserves and make advances to customers on quite a different system from our banks—on open accounts or overdrafts, as we call it. They all is sue notes, one colony cashing tbe notes of another at a discount of so much. Tbey charge you a little something for everything they do, but then you know that's after the English system of trading. They use the check system, and everybody bas an account and nearly everybody overdraws. A fellow told me the other day that therrian who couldn't overdraw his account didn't amount to much. There is not more loss to the banks here than in America from overdraft Tbe banking business seems thrifty.—Melbourne Letter.

Th« Dread of Death.

*What most concerns us," 'writes Evangelist Moody in The Ladies' Home Journal, "is the relation which Christ's resurrection has to our death and future life. So many people live in a fearful dread of death and the graye, I believe, just because tbey do not study this doctrine. Tbey speak of death and the judgment with a shudder, and their vision seems to be unable to pierce beyond. "I well remember how in my native village in New England it used to be customary, as a funeral procession left the church, for the bell in the burying ground to toll as many times as the deceased was years old. How anxiously I would count those strokes of the bell to see bow long I might reckon on living. Sometimes there would be 70 or 80 tolls, and I would give a sigh of relief to think I had so many years to live. But at other times there would be only a few years tolled, and then a horror would seize me as I thought that I, coo, might soon be claimed as a victim by that dread monster, death. Death and judgment were a constant source of fear to me till I realized the fact that neither shall ever have any bold on a child of God. "In bis letter to tbe Romans the Apostle Paul bas shown, in most direct language, that there is no condemnation for a child of God, but he is passed from under the power of law, and in the epistle to the Corinthians he tells us 'there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body,' 'and as we have borne the frnage of the earthy we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.'

Teak.

In an article in Timber (London) on the value of teak for structural and mechanical purposes the claim is put forth that such wood is really the most durable timber known and of special importance to shipbuilders, beiug very bard, yet light, rasily worked, and, though porous, strong and lasting. It is soon seasoned, shrinks but little, and on account of its oily nature dots not injure iron. In southeastern Asia it is not only considered the best material for ship construction, but for house carpentry and other work where strength and other lasting qualities are required. It is rarely attacked by ants of the white species, and its rare durability renders it specially valuable in a climate like that of India, where the elements causing decay are so numerous and powerful, where dampness brings on rapid decomposition, and where tbe white ant devours without scruple. In the operation of cutting this wood is frequently girdied one or two years before it is felled, and, thus exposed to tbe wind, the action of the sun and to the pumping capacity of tbe leaves, it seasons rapidly and is drier and lighter than timber felled green.

The Bedouin's House.

The Bedouin's bouse is round and surrounded by a round wall in which tbe flocks are penned at night. It is flat roofed and covered with soil, and inside it is as destitute of interest as it is possible to conceive—a few mats on which tbe family sleep, a few jars in which they store their butter, and a skin churn In which tbey make th6 same. In one house into which I penetrated a bundle was hanging from the ceiling, which I found to be a baby by tbe exposure of one of its little feet.

Everything is poor and pastoral. He has hardly any clothes to cover himself with, nothing to keep him warm when tbe weather is damp save his homespun sheet, and be has not a soul above his flocks. The closest intimacy exists between tbo Bedouin and bis goats and his cows. The animals understand and obey certain calls with absolute accuracy, and you generally see a Socotran shepherdess walking before her flock, and not after it, and tbey stioke and caress their little cows until they are as tame as dogs.—Nineteenth Century.

His Flowers.

'I heard in my youth," says Sir Charles Murray, "one of many curious stories of this Sir John Shaw. "He was most eccentric in his appearance and dress and cared nothing for tidiness iu the grounds immediately surrounding his house. One day he invited two gentlemen from Edinburgh to dine with him at Carnock. As was the custom of the time, tbey appeared before dinner in knee breeches, silk stockings and thin shoes. The weather beiug line, Sir John invited them to take a turn in the garden. Civilly and thoughtlessly they followed their host and soon foetid themselves skipping among nettles and thistles, to the great discomfort of tbeii unfortunate calves. Sir John, who was clad, as usual, iu corduroy breeches and top boats, said to them, with polite gravity, 'Step oot. step oot, gentlemen, ye'll no hurt my flowers.' "—Cornbill Magazine.

"The enemy is

coming: To the fort for your lives!" When a wise man receives a plain warning r* of danger, he does not wait to let it overtake yhira he seeks every reasonable means to fight it off. Disease would almost never get the best of the average man if he was prepared to resist it, and took the natu-

I precautions dictated by common sense. When a man's stomach and liver get upset and fail to do their regular work, he can be certain that something worse is bound to follow, if he doesn't look ont for himself. Headaches, indigestion, biliousness and constipation ar*! simply Nature's warnings that the enemy of serious disease is coming to attack him.

The sensible thing'to do is to immediately fortify the system with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It vitalizes and invigorates the entire constitution. It helps the liver to filter out all bilious impurities.

It gives the digestive and nutritive organs power to extract nourishment from the food and turn it into rich, red, healthy blood. It creates appetite, good digestion, and solid, aiuscular strength.

It is far superior to the mere temporary stimulus of malt-extracts. It is better than cod liver oil emulsions because it is assimilated ly the weakest stomach.

About fifteen vears ago writes Mr. John McMichaet, editor of the Plattsburg, (Mo.) Leader, I was in vcrv poor health, had no appetite, was Rluifgisli, anl"so lifeless it seemed impossible for me to do anything that required effort. Even- fall and spring this ill-health seemed to affect me particularly. A friend advised me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden'Medical Discovery asserting that it would restore me to perfect health, and make a new nian of me. Finally he induced me to try the medicine. 1 weighed at the time about 125 lbs. I ustfd several bottles, and upon quitting it weighed 175 lbs. Since that time my weight has varied from' this to 195 pounds.

A sure and permanent cure for constipation is Dr. Pierce's Pellets. One "Pellet" is a geutle laxative, two a mild cathartic.
