Hole In Sky Saved Jfohnson

George Boutwell’s Unhappy Metaphor * Turned the Tide In the Senate •nd Prevented the Impeachment of the President. In the late winter of 1877 I met General Benjamin F. Butler of Massachusetts. at the rooms he retained permanently, year in and year out, at the old Fifth Avenue hotel, in New York City. He was on his way to Washington to take his seat as a member of congress. He was going as an Independent. He was in a communicative mood that afternoon, and I made bold to bring up several famous incidents in his career. At last we came to the part he played in the impeachment proceedings brought against President Johnson. The general’s face took on • wry look. > "I am as certain as that lam sitting here that It was the hole in the sky which saved President Johnson from being ousted from office," he said. "A what?” I exclaimed. “The hole in the sky,” the general reaffirmed, solemnly— “the hole of George S. Boutwell’s own making—the same Boutwell who was secretary of the treasury under Grant, then senator from my own state, and now Is engaged in preparing a codification of the statutes-at-large. “Boutwell, John A. Bingham, a very polished orator, and myself, with four others, were named by the house of representatives as its managers of the Impeachment of President Johnson. I believe that all of us felt that the proceedings would take rank in historic Interest with the trial of Warren Hastings—at least Boutwell, Bingham and I felt that way about it; and Boutwell was so firmly convinced that this would be the case that he deliberately set out to make an argument which would be compared with the speeches of Fox, Burke, Sheridan, and others who supported the charges against Hastings. “Well, the time came for George Boutwell to deliver his effort, over which he had labored so assiduously, before the senate, sitting as judges, with the chief justice of the United States Supreme court, Salmon P. Chsfse, In the chair. The issue then was\in doubt. We house managers knew that a majority of the senate n would vote to sustain our charges, but we could not confidently count on a two-thirds vote in our favor. That was necessary if the charges were to be sustained and President Johnson thereby sent from his high office in disgrace. It was with this doubt clearly before him that Boutwell rose

Cornered Two Benefactors

How J. Pierpont Morgan Made Hie Gifts to New York Trade Schools and to Save the Hudson River Palisades. One of the largest benefactions that J. Pierpont Morgan (now being extensively exploited in the magazine field) has made in a lump sum was the $505,000 he gave to put the New York Trade schools on a permanent basis. I had the good fortune of first announcing that this gift had been made. How it came to be made is here told for the first time. A committee of philanthropic woman decided to see what they could do to secure a sufficient endowment for the trade schools, and they determined upon the plan of personally urging the cause of the schools to the city’s wealthiest men. To this end, they made their initial call upon Mr. Morgan. He received them courteously and listened patiently to what they had to say. Then he inquired: “How much do you think I ought to give?” “Wen," replied a member of the aommlttee, “We thought we would leave that to your own judgment, but," she added naively, "we had $25,000 in mind.” For a few moments Mr. Morgan looked thoughtfully before him, seemingly debating whether he should take the hint and give $25,000 or something less. Finally, he turned to the member of the committee who had replied to him, and addressed her in short, sharp, business-like tone: "How much would be needed to endow and equip the schools thorougIFF "Five hundred thousand dollars,’* »ald the committeewoman. "Well, I’ll give you the money," same the instant answer. “You needn’t go elsewhere." When George W. Perkins (not then as the Morgan firm and only slightly acquainted with his present chief) formed, with others, the association that eventually attained its object of saving the Palisades of the Hudson from destruction, he called upon the men who were blasting them away and got them to agree to sell their quarry rights to his association for the sum of $135,000. He obtained an option of three mpnths on the propertv and then set out to raise the money

to make his speech!, and it was with the hope that whalt he had to say would clear away tftiis doubt that we saw him gain permftlssion to address the judges. ft “It was an ambltlofcs effort —a great effort in the main —rilo doubt of that. But just when I was to feel that the tide vsas turning our way. under the Influence of logic and oratory, 1 was smWdenly startled to hear him dedare thalt it is given to some men to bok thrcbugh a hole in the sky, like aftronomejrs, as it were, and thus obtaii a of the great beyond.

Evarts, Johnson’s If adtug counsel. That was enough. I perceived that he had taken quick, heed of the unfortunate and peculiar metaphor and would undoubtedly deal with It In his speech. “Hie did, all right. With the most

Brooks’ Theory for Preachers

He Believed They Should Take Active Interest In the Life About Them and Base Their Sermons Thereon. Phillips Brooks, who really was not ambitious for the honor, and cared very little for It, was appointed bishop Os Massachusetts in 1891, about two years before his death. A year or so before he became the head of a great diocese, I had the pleasure of a long chat with him, in the course of which he outlined at some length his theory of the proper sources for the sermons of the preacher of today. “The world of today,” said the great pulpit orator, “life as we see it around us, men’s activities, the aspirations of children, the conquests of nature for the benefit of mankind —all these things, and all others like unto them, furnish abundant inspiration and opportunity for the clergyman who wishes to reach right down Into the hearts of those who hear him. In another time, possibly, effective preach-

necessary to put an end to the destruction of the world-famous river ramparts. His first call was on Mr. Morgan. “Why don’t you call upon Mr. Rockefeller and a few others,” —naming them—“and see what they’ll give?” asked Mr. Morgan. “Then, when you have done that you can come to me again.” “Mr. Morgan,” replied Mr. Perkins, "while I would not tor an instant question your judgment in the matter, or be unwilling to follow your advice, still, It seems to me that if you were to lead the list of subscriptions I should have no difficulty In easily obtaining pledges from others, so that before the option expires I could pay over the amount agreed upon to the quarrymen and take title to the property In the name of our commission.” “What is the whole amount you need?” asked Mr. Morgan. "One hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars." “Well, you can put me down for the whole amount," said Mr. Morgan. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. AU Rights Reserved.) Disturbed Peace of Salmon. Borne queer charges are brought from time to time in the police courts in connection with game and fish preservation, but that brought against a collier at Cockermouth seems to be unique. The man was charged with disturbing salmon on their spawningbeds by walking up and down the river banks. It was stated in evidence that the fish were so numerous that some of them had been driven right into the side to spawn, and that they ceased if anybody sto?d on the bank and looked at them. This sounds rather like a scientific fairy tale, but the magistrates believed it, and fined the collier 15s. for prying Into the domestic affairs of the salmonldae. I take It that the magistrates Imagined that his interest was not purely scientific, for it seems difficult to construe walking on the river banks as an offense under the salmon fishery act. —Londpn Truth.

solemn of faces and funereal of voices he poked all manner of fun at that hole in ths sky; I doubt if I ever heard more wonderfully keen satire. Yes. that hole in the sky Evarts tore right open, so that it seemed as though we all could see through it. Why, erven Chief Justice Chase had to smile at some of Evarts’ satire, and ‘the hole in the sky’ became the byword, the humor of the day, under Evart’s direction. “Poor Boutwell! I felt sorry for him. He had made a very able speech, but there was that ‘hole’ in it—and somehow, daring the rest of the proceedings, I could not help feeling that that ‘hole’ would lose us our case. When the Vote was taken, we did lose by just one vote, as you know —and 1 have always felt convinced that one Republican senator whom we had classed as doubtful, but who voted not to sustain our charges, was persuaded to vote as he did by the brilliancy of the satire that Evarts brought to bear upon Boutwell’s ‘hole in the sky.*” General Butler refrained from naming the senator he had In mind. But later on, in the course of his conversation, I was led to gather the impression that he had in mind James W. Grimes, who became the Whig governor of lowa in 1854, and from 1858 until 1869, when he suffered a stroke of paralysis and resigned, served in the United States senate. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J.

ing depended upon explaining the doctrines, but that is not for this age. .“After all, Christ furnished us the best example of the manner in which a preacher or teacher should ag ; proach his hearers and those whom he wishes to influence. With the single exception of the Sermon on the Mount, which contains the fundamental Christian philosophy—the precepts upon which the Christian religion was founded —Christ always took his examples, his illustrations, his metaphors, from the daily life with which his hearers were familiar. “He could take the most trivial fact of nature and with it emphasize His truths. His allegories, or parables, as I now remember them, were all based upon familiar things. The only occasional references to the classics of that day which He made were to the prophets and to the Jewish scriptures, and with these all who heard Him were perfectly familiar. Ah, what an exquisitely beautiful Illustration He made from the lilies of the field, very likely pointing to those He saw olossoming about Him as He spoke. . ‘And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.’ “Now,” continued Mr. Brooks, "It seems to me that the most effective way of reaching hearers for a preacher of this time is to bring them into touch with familiar things. That means, of course, that the clergyman should not hold himself aloof, but should take an active interest in every affair of life. He should go about among the people and learn what they are thinking about and what they are doing. He should have an eye for nature; he should be affected by the flowers, the foliage and tike birds of the air, just as so many of the poor people are. I have tried to follow this course, and it has not been an effort of the will for me to do so, since it has always been a most gratifying experience with me.” Dr. Brooks certainly practiced what he preached in this respect He went about among the lowly, but without superior mannerism, and gained their confidence. He was seen once in a humble Boston tenement, with an infant upon his knee, playing- with another child upon the floor, at his feet and chatting merrily with the patents® who must have looked upon that visit as a pastoral call of the best kind. He was as fond as Thoreau was of visiting the wharves of Boston; he was many times seen. watching the coming in and sailing of ships and listening to the none too discreet conversation of the stevedores and longshoremen. Within less than a quarter of an hour after he had delivered a wonderfully powerful Advent sermon to 8,000 business men gathered in Trinity church, in New York, he went arm in arm with a friend across the street to one of the famous downtown restaurants, and sat at a table for the better part of an hour keenly observing the coming and going of the great throng which rushed into that place for its noontime lunch. He was a constant student of life and of nature; he applied this study In his sermons; and it was because of this, undoubtedly, that he, perhaps more effectively than any other preacher pt his time, touched the hearts and Inspired the consciences of his hearers.

ECZEMA GONE, BOILS CURED “My son was about three weeks old when I noticed a breaking-out on his cheek% from which a watery substance oozed. A short time after, his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and in a few days became a solid scab. I became alarmed, and called our family physician, who at once pronounced the disease eczema. The little fellow was under his treatment for about three months. By the end of that time, he seemed no better. I became discouraged, and as I had read the advertisements of Cuticura Remedies and testimonials of a great many people who had used them with wonderful success, I dropped the doctor’s treatment, and commenced the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and in a few days noticed a marked change. The eruption on his cheeks was almost healed, and his shoulders, arm* and breast were decidedly better. When he was about seven months old all trace of the eczema was gone. "During his teething period, his head and face were broken out in boils which I cured with Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Surely he must have been a great sufferer. During the time of teething and from the time I dropped the doctor’s treatment, I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, nothing else, and when two years old he was the picture of health. His complexion was soft and beautiful, and his head a mass of silky curls. I had been afraid that he would never be well, and I feel that I owe a great deal to the Cuticura Remedies.” (Signed) Mrs. Mary W. Ramsey, 224 E. Jackson St., Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept 24, 1910.

The stamp vending machine* installed in many stores and shops about the city are not favored by a woman who hurried into a drug store in Massachusetts avenue several days ago where there is a branch postoffice. “How do you sell your two-cent stamps?” she inquired indignantly. “Two cents apiece,” replied Bassett "Well, that’s all right," she replied, while she fished in her purse for a coin. “This is the fifth place I have visited after stamps. At all the other places they had those slot machines where you have to spend a nickel for two two-cent stamps. I made up my mind not to be held up if I had to walk all over the city.

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not Patent Medicines the Cause. New York.—Blame for the prevalence and growth of the morphine habit was placed on the shoulders of physicians, who prescribed the drug, at a meeting of druggists here tonight to protest against the recently enacted city ordinance prohibiting the sale at retail of any preparation containing morphine or its salts except upon a doctor’s prescription. The ordinance is aimed primarily at paregoric and at stomach remedies, according to members of the board of health who were instrumental in obtaining its passage. Caswell Mayo, one of the druggists, said he had made a canvass by mail of several sanitariums and the replies convinces him 90 per cent, of the victims of drugs formed the habit as a result of using prescriptions given by physicians and only 8 per cent, from using proprietary medicines.
