Governorship Cost Him $8

That Was All Joel Parker Spent in His Successful Campaign to Be Chief Executive of New Jersey. Joel Parker, who died in 1888, at the age of seventy-two, gained national distinction at the time of the Civil war because, although elected governor of New Jersey as a Democrat, he was nevertheless one of the most efficient and zealous of all the war governors of the north. His unique distinction, in fact, was that he was the great Democratic war governor of the Union. He served | from 1862, to 1866 and in 1876 he was ' the favorite son of the New Jersey? Democrats for the presidential uomination. ; Fiye years before Governor Par-; kers party became very much dis-; turbQd by the understanding that the 1 Republicans were going to nominated for governor a very rich manufactur-i er —Cornelius Walsh, by name— who] it was understood, had expressed a willingness to contribute a very large sum of money in support of his cam didaey. In their pertubation the Democratic leaders sought out Gov, ernor Parker at his home in Freer hold “Well,” replied the war governor, j after- a few moments of thought, “I have just got into the, full swing of my law practise again, and for me to drop it all would mean a considerable monetary sacrifice. Still, if my party makes a sincere call for me I will listen to it, upon this one conditiop, that I shall not spend any money, that my party shall not spend any money, except for absolutely necessary expenses, in the campaign, arid that you will make the campaign dpon i this issue.” The condition was accepted by- the Democratic leaders, Governor Parser was duly nominated and in the exciting campaign that followed there was plenty of that his Opponent was spending a large amount of money. Nevertheless, when the votes were counted, it was found that the Democratic war governor had triumphed. The day following the election — and here comes in the new news— Governor Parker, in his capacity as a lawyer, was obliged to appear before

Stories of Garfield’s Death

7'Col. Ingersoll’s Army Experience Convinced Him President’s Wound Was- Mortal—Guiteau Didn’t Say “I’m a Stalwart.” Not without a little pride I look back on the fact that the newspaper Reports I sent from Washington from day to day following the shooting of President Garfield by Guiteau accurately foreshadowed the president’s death. And, curiously enough, one of the incidents that caused me right from the start to take a most serious view of the nature o{, the president’s wound occurred not more than an hour after Garfield had been shot down in the railroad station. Garfield had been carried to one of the executive offices on the second floor of the station, and while the physicians worked over him and we who "were representing the press of the 'country were gathered on the floor ■ below, I beheld Col. Robert G. Ingersoll coming down the stairs that led r to the upper tier of offices. I knew him well, and, hastening up to him, asked: “Have you seen the president?” For a moment he could; not control his emotions sufficiently to speak. Then he nodded, and in a voice that I shall never forget, for the awe that ,Was in it. said: ' “The wound is a mortal one. I know it; my army experience taught me many things about gunshot wounds. When I went into the room Garfield recognized me and tried to speak encouragingly, but his voice was almost in a whisper. He is lying on a sort of improvised couch and I stood beside him: and then, as I had been told that he had been shot in the back, it occurred to me that if the spinal column had been injured I could quickly discover it. Unobserved by any one, I reached over and very firmly pinched the flesh just above the ankle. There wjas not the slightest i&ovement of the muscles. Then I pinched thfe calf of the leg, and again there was no Response of any sort. A ■ third time I made a similar test, and

the supreme court of the state in Trenton. The first thing he did after arriving in the capital city was to hunt up a barber shop, in front of which, as the successful candidate was being shaved, a large crowd of the curious gathered. In due course the governor, smooth as to chin, started to pay the barber. He felt in one pocket—no money. In dismay he turned to the barber, when a friend rushed up and offered his purse, - while the crowd outside, quick to grasp the little comedy, cheered frantically. A moment later Governor Parker had taken his stand upon the threshJ old of the shop. “Fellow citizens,” he said, “I. began the campaign which ended yesterday with' the understanding that I was to spend no money to secure my election and that my party was to spend none, except for printing and other absolutely necessary incidentals. When I began my campaign I started out from my home in Freehold with a ten-dollar bill in my pocket. I spoke in every county in the state and every day for the past two weeks. When I arrived at my home the night before election I found that I had just two dollars left - of that ten-dollar bill. Eight dollars I

Hobby Cost Nation a Hero

General Terry, When a Young Court Clerk, Was an Enthusiastic Student of War and Its ' Strategy. In the history of the Civil war Gen. Alfred H. Terry is known as the hero of Fort Fisher, since he was the man who, in January of 1865, led the successful assault upon the last remaining important stronghold of the Confederacy upon the Atlantic seaboard. Eleven years later, as a brigadier general in the .regular army, he again came prominently beforb the country as the commander of the main column which drove Sitting Bull and his followers into Canada after the Custer massacre on the Little Big Horn. One of the leading New Haven, Conn., men of other days who never tired of talking of General Terry was the late Judge E. K. Foster, who was for many years prosecuting attorney

g. I saw that they were absolutely without sensation and that he was powerless to use them. I said to myself then, and I say it to you now, that the wound is a mortal one. The bullet has either torn the spinal cord or has broken the backbone, and he cannot recover?’ The post mortem following Garfield’s death justified in some measure though not completely, the diagnosis which Colonel Ingersoll had made to . me while the physicians were deciding that the president’s spinal cord had not been touched by the bullet. Some months after Guiteau had been executed Colonel Ingersoll told me of another interesting incident connected with Garfield’s assassination: “You will recall, of course,” said the great agnostic, “that following Gulteau’s arrest the report went all over the country that the poor fool had exclaimed, triumphantly, ‘l’m a Stalwart! I’m a Stalwart!’ when he was arrested. And you remember, of course, that that statement led to a suspicion that some of the members of the Stalwart wing of the Republican party had entered Into a conspiracy with Guiteau to ‘remove’ Garfield, so that Arthur could succeed him. “Now, Guiteau never said such a thing. I was hurrying to the railroad station as an officer of the law was leading Galteau away to the police station, and, naturally, I stopped an instant to get a glimpse of the assassin. He was talking to the policeman, who said nothing, and I heard Guiteau say as plainly as now I hear my own voice': ‘lt’s all right. It’s all right.’ That was just what he said and nothing else, and It was the similarity in the sound of the words of the two phrases that Jed to the report that Guiteau had excused and defended hls act by saying: Tm a Stalwart! I’m a Stalwart!’ Yet had I told what I knew to be the truth concerning hls exclamation at the time the country was excited over the false report, I believe I would have been laughed or hooted down.” (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards.)

was all I had spent to make my campaign. As counsel for the railroad company, I am privileged to ride upon a pass, and in that way I traveled from meeting place to meeting place. The hotel proprietors throughout the state insisted upon receiving me as » guest without pay, and I have also been entertained at private houses As for the two dollars I had left over when I got back home, I spent them for postage stamps in order to send letters in reply to those which had accumulated during my absence. “So, you see, my friends, we have shown that it is possible for a gubernatorial candidate to be victorious in New Jersey without the use of money. Still, because of this fact, I have just had an embarrassing moment. I gave so little thought to money during the campaign that it apparently has become a habit, for when I left home to come to Trenton I didn’t think to supply myself with money, and you have just seen that I was actua”y obliged to ask the barber to hang up the shave!” It was a little confession that tickled the crowd Immensely, and as the famous Democratic war governor went on his way to the court house a great throng followed him, cheering him to the echo when he entered the building i i (Copyright, 1910. by E.

of New Haven county, and who presided over the New Haven mass meeting which Lincoln addressed a few days after he had delivered his Cooper Union speech. * I knew ‘Alt’ Terry as a boy here in New Haven and as a student at 1 ale,’ said the judge to me when I called upon him in the summer of 1872, “and I was one of the men who helped to get him appointed clerk of the superior court of the state back in 1854, while he was still two or three years under thirty. You see, he had graduated from the Yale law school some years before, but, somehow, he didn’t seem to be able to make the law go, and so we got him the clerkship. “That was the year the Crimean war broke out, and it hadn’t been going on long before those of us who knew him well discovered that ‘Alf Terry was taking a sudden and intense Interest in the progress of the campaign being conducted against Russia by the allies. Why, he became so deeply immersed in the subject that he actually neglected his duties as clerk of the court a bit, and not being content to get the latest news of the war at the breakfast table, like the rest of us, he got Into the habi€ of going to a newspaper office and sitting there by the hour in the evenings, awaiting such news as might come in about the siege of Sebastopol and other events. He became especially excited about the war. on the days that he knew a European mall was due—we had no cables then—and not infrequently on mail days he remained at the newspaper - office awaiting war news until the paper went to press. “He carried his war enthusiasm still further. He got together as good a collection of maps of the war zone as he could possibly lay his hands on. As news from the front drifted across the Atlantic he traced upon his maps, so far as he was able, the movements of the troops. “The Crimean war ended, I daresay that *Alf’ Terry had a better knowledge of the strategy employed by both sides than any other man in the state, or In several states, for that matter. He wrote and talked incessantly about it, yet for the diplomacy connected with the war, or the politics that caused It, he knew practically nothing and cared less. And when the brief campaign of the French against the Austrians was on In 1859, he spent all his spare time studying the reports reaching this country of the battles of Solferino and Magenta. “Two years later, President Lincoln Issued his first call for volunteers, and ‘Alf Terry, who in the meantime had gained the rank of colonel in the state militia through deVotlon to his hobby, went to Bull Run at the head of the Seventh Connecticut Infantry, and his was one of the few regiments that retired from that field In good order and helped to check the stampede. “The rest of his career the world knows,” concluded Judge Foster. “But I sometimes think that, if ‘Alf’ Terry had not suddenly been seized with the idea to study the Crimean war seven years before our great war broke, he probably would have remained unknown to fame and would have rusted out behind the desk of the clerk of our superior court.” (Copyright, 1910, by BL J.

GOWNS FOR STREET MOST SENSIBLE SIDE OF FASHION HERE SHOWN. Autumn Styles Are Considerably Varied This Year—Selection to Sult Different Tastes Is Therefore Made Easy. Tailored suits and evening wraps are among the first reliable things that appear with autumn, and as usual the useful street frocks display only the most sensible side of fashion. The short, tight skirt gets a reasonable touch with these practical garments, and though sometimes one encounters the Hobble band It is so modified and tricked out between plaitings as scarcely to be discernible. Favorite models for these walking skirts are plain gored affairs, with a deep band at the bottom, with which a limp, narrow coat, single or double breasted, with shawl or coat collar and tight sleeves, goes to perfection. Other skirts will show a little lengthwise plaiting, this in panels at the sides, or starting in below a tight hip portion, or the skirt may have a close upper part and a kilted flounce 12 inches or more deep, put on under a hobble band. But it is not possible to describe all the models, they are so numerous, so varied. The two things necessary seem to be shortness and a fair amount of closeness, and when these are obtained shops and tailors may run riot with individual touches. The coats that accompany these skirts manifest the new vogue In a number of ways, but all things said and done, the sack coat is pretty much the same as is also the Russian blouse, for this jacket model is seen again, and is, indeed, much exploited by French makers. Upon the practical suits for both women and misses little trimming will be used, a contrasting color on the collar and handsome buttons being considered enough. But if the suit is a fine one rich trimmings may appear in panels on the loose coat, or a Rusian blouse will turn back over a gay embroidered vest, while a very dressy suit here and there may be trimmed on th© skirt as well as on the jacket.

' SUITABLE FOR YOUNG GIRL Two Costumes That Would Make Up Well in Many Kinds o* Popular Material. The first costume would look well in navy serge. The skirt Is a fivegored shape, trimmed down center of front and round foot by Russia braid, which is sewn on in a Greek key design. The coat is seml-fitting, and has ■■ - *1 ■ ■;■■■■ ' ".'L'l w wrapped seams down sides of front and back. It is trimmed with braid to match skirt. The plain coat sleeves are the same. An embroidered lawn collar finishes the neck. Navy blue Tagal hat, trimmed with a wreath of deep pink roses. Materials required: 5% yards serge 46 inches wide, about 4 dozen yards braid, 4 yards silk for lining coat. The second is a smart style, made up in auricula face cloth. THE LATEST IN HANDBAGS Novel and Varied Are the Designs That Are Now Being Shown In the Shops. Here are some of the very newest things in the handbag line. A fitted bag for week-ends is of seal leather, with an overhanging box frame ten inches wide. It is equipped with a leather pocketbook and seven toilet and manicure articles. The lining is of red leather and the frame is in rose or green gold, with burtfished metal pieces. A very exclusive and luxurious little bag is of blue cross-grain saffian leather with a frame of imitation ivory and a lining of blue moire. It has duplicate strap handles and an equipment of change purse, cardcase and conibined powder-puff pocket and bevel mirror. There is a novelty unbreakable clasp. Still smaller, for afternoon use, is a green cross-grain saffian leather bag, five and one-half by six inches. It has a gold-plated frame concealed between two flaps and flanked on each side by pockets. Duplicate strap handles are again used here, and there come with the bag, in pockets beneath the outer front flap, a mirror. A kid-lined powder-puff pocket and a slate with a gold pencil. Another bag of dark green morocco, nine inches wide, has a motherof pearl frame, held on by green bands. ' The lining is gray calfskin, with a change purse, a powder-puff pocket and a mirror. The handle is so made as to fall flat against the bag when folded down. A bag with an overlapping box frame of German silver, one-half entering into the other like a box and its lid,, is of black walrus with black bag lining, and there are a vanity accessory and a coin purse. Red and blue cross-grain saffian leather, suede, walrus and mottled or beaver calf are all in all the best choice for handbags this season. Toilet Economy. The particular hostess now uses in dividual pieces of soap, in her guest room and gives to each new guest a fresh piece. Where much entertaining is done this means numerous odds and ends of fine soap. One woman has hit upon the plan ol using this for the children in a wire soap shaker such as are found for dishwashing. The tiniest pieces can he thus utilized. A basin is filled with warm water and the shaker agitated until a thick lather is formed. Another way to use up small pieces ot fine soap is to put them into small cheesecloth bags and use as one would a bran or almond meal bag. Novelty Vanity Box. So wedded is the modern girl to her powder puff that it is concealed everywhere. Hatpin tops, lockets, ornaments for the chatelaine, compartments in the opera bag and chain purse, cardcases, all reveal the useful toilet adjunct at the touch of a spring. One of the latest places of concealment for a vanity box is as a plaque on top of a bracelet. The bracelet itself is of thinly plaited gold wires, and the plaque is the size of a small, open-face watch. It is enameled in vivid Chantecjer coloring around an oval central space for the owner’s monogram. At a touch the lid lifts, , snowing a tiny puff and nowder.

HIS LIVELIHOOD AT STAKE Certainly Candidate for Governor Could Not Expect to Get That Vote. An incident in which former Governor Odell of New York figured as the victim was told by Col. James Hamilton Lewis at a recent banquet. “When Governor Odell was last running for office," said Colonel Lewis, “there had been a great deal of talk about Niagara Falls and the electrical power that could be conferred on all parts of New York. One day an old negro baited Mr. Odell and said: “ ‘Mr. Odell, is yo’ runnin’ for gov’ner, sah?’ " “ T am,’ answered the candidate. “'I guess yo’ war my vote, den,’ said the colored man. z “ ‘Well, I would like to have your vote, Zeb. I have known you for so many years.’ “ “Well, I jist want to ask you a question, Mr. Odell, befo’ I give mah yote to you. Are yo’ for electric lights In dis town?’ “Well, Zeb, I am for all modern Improvements,’ said Odell, with a slight flourish. “ ‘Well, sah, I can’t vote for you,’ said Zeb with firmness. ‘Yo’ done forget dat I is a lamp lighter.’ ” Procrastination. "I heard a tale the other day of a postponing chap, who thought he'd buy a wheel so gay, but—‘They will be cheaper, perhaps.’ And so he dallied year by year, the cheapest wheel to buy; but long before the cheapest gear, that yap he had to die! And so, by putting off the day, we miss the wine of life; and some there are In just that way who thus will miss a wife!
