MEN MWMO HAVE BEEN MADE PROS
PEROUS BY OFFJQEHQLDINfi.
What tl»» .Presidency Bid iFor .Harrison
and Cleveland—How polities Made Dan
Lamont---Salaries and Earn Inga <fl\Some
of Our '.Statesmen.
[Special Correspondence.’]
Indianapolis, Nov. B.—Ex-President
Harrison has returned from bis summer
vacation, accompanied by his w.ifej and
baby. Earimore than three months Mr.
Harrison ihas been in the Adirondacks
enjoying -life 'Without a tbouglrtbof his
profession. ;He has never been :ahle to
afford so lung, a vacation before because
he has never . been so well to tie. Air.
Harrison is.one of the men made ’pros
perous by officeholding. When heasatired
from the presidency, he was .supposed
to have saved <IOO,OOO of his salary.
He was never worth so much before.
Not only did die have larger capital at
the end of ibis term, but his eaw.uing
•capacity was (increased greatly. Ear a
’time he delivered addresses at college
.commencements, [receiving a handsome
ifee for each, and ’he delivered a course
•of lectures at Etanford university, for
which the Stamford estate paid him sev
eral thousand dcdlurs. Then he wrote a
■series of articles mi the president and
his.experiences, which has just appeared
in hook form.
After that he returned to the more ac
tive (practidte of his profession, and his
income has not been less than <25,000 a
year; probably it is nearer $50,000. If
he had .not been president of the United
'States,'.General Harrison could not have
made one-half as much .at his profes
ision.
Mr. Cleveland had the same experi
«nce. He left Albany for Washington
.comparatively poor. Now he is consid
ered a wealthy jnan. He saved a good
share of his salary, no doubt, but he
made more .during the four years of the
Harrison term practicing law, Mr.
(Cleveland had not practiced since he
was mayor of Buffalo, and it is doubt
ful if he ever made $3,000 a year at his
profession. His income during 'the four
years he was practicing in New York
was estimated at many different sums,
ranging up to SIOO, 00,0 a year. It is cer
tain that ex-President Cleveland com
manded a much larger income than
Grover Cleveland eould have done.
A great many public offices have
proved stepping stones to places of great
profit. Dan Lamont, as every one knows,
stepped from the private secretary’s
office at the White House into a highly
renumerative position at the head of a
street railroad syndicate. The treasury
officials can almost always go from the
department to places of great responsi
bility in the financial world. Director
of the Mint Leach became a New York
bank official. Comptroller Eckels can
have any one of a half dozen responsi
ble renumerative positions in New York
or Chicago. Secretary Carlisle received
several offers to go to New York when
his term as secretary of the treasury
ended.
On the other hand, some men give up
large incomes to enter public life, and
.some make other sacrifices. While Dan
Lamoni has continually bettered his
condition, Secretary John Addison Por
ter finds officcholding an expensive ex
perience. Mr. Porter told me recently
that he paid more than the amount of
his salary for the rent of his house in
Washington. When I was in New York
not long ago, Mayor Strong’s secretary
told me that the mayor gave up $28,-
000 in salaries when he took public
office, and the city pays him only $lO,-
000 a year, while as a public character
it costs him a great deal to keep up ap
pearances.
Chauncey M. Depew told me some
time ago that if he had been made em
bassador to England he would have had
to abandon salaries aggregating SIOO,-
000 a year. Whitelaw Reid, our special
envoy at the queen’s jubilee celebra
tion, is said to have spent $25,000 out
of his own pocket for private entertain
ing while he was in London.
Secretary Gage’s salary as president
of the Erst National bank of Chicago
was said to have been $25,000. Mr.
Gage draws. SB.OOO a year as a member

Attorney General McKenna did not
make a sacrifice -of saflary when he left
the federal bench in Oalifornia to accept
a place in thscabinet, (hut.he relinquish
ed a life office with a pension to accept a
place whose tenure was most uncertain.
It was with the .understanding, howev
er, that the president would appoint
him to the first vacancy on the supreme
bench, and the agreement .will be ful
filled in December.
Mr. McKenna’s predecessor, Judson
Harmon of Cincinnati, abandoned a
practice worth twice .as much as a cab
inet salary, but he was fortunate in his
partners. They told him they would
keep his place in the firm open until the
end of his term. So his sacrifice was
not permanent.
Secretary Olney gawe up a law prac
tice in Boston said to be worth $30,000
a year to take the place of attorney gen
eral and later of secretary of state. On
the other hand, Secretary Herbert,
whose chief source of income for many
years had been his congressional salary,
was boosted into an SB,OOO place, with
perquisites, such as a government yacht
in summer and the opportunity for sell
ing magazine articles, for one of which
he received as much as S3OO. 'Writing
(or signing) articles for the periodical
press has been a source of income to
public men for many years. It doubles
Speaker Reed’s income and helps to pay
.the rent of many of his colleagues.
It is safe to say that most of the mem
bers of congress have never earned as
■much as $5,000 a year before they went
to Washington. But the congressman's
$5,000 a year dwindles to very small
proportions when he gets to the capital
and tries to “keep his end up with the
boys.” Grant Hamilton.

this city, was burned to death at his
home on Pine street.
There was no one else in the house at
the time the fire broke ont. Just how
he met his death is unknown. There
are two theories, one that he knocked
the lamp over, setting fire to the bed on
which he was lying, the other that he
lay down with a lighted cigar in his
mouth and fell asleep.
Hie father, who is quite old, entered
the house a few minutes after the flames
burst out. He was burned about the

NEWBOLD A FUGITIVE NOW.
Stat* Constable Kills a Former Baptist
Freaober Near Spartanburg.
Columbia, 8. 0., Nov. 11.—J. H. Tur
ner, for many years a Baptist preacher,
and recently one of the most prominent
business men in the county, lies dead
with a bullet through his jugular vein.
The shooting was done by State Con
stable W. H. Newbold, a Texan, who
has done government service iu that
state and Mexico, and was employed
here by Governor Tillman.
Turner was a delegate to the good
roads convention here anti was driving
to Spartanburg to take the train. When
at Cedar Grove church two men called
to him to halt. Before he could rein iu
his horse, tyjp shots were fired, aud he
fell mortally wounded.
Newbold went to Spartanburg, and
his lawyer, fearing violence, got him a
private conveyance and started him out
of town. He has not been heard from
since.
Hundreds of Spartanburg people here
attending the state fair are incensed.
It is supposed Turner was mistaken
for a blockade runner.
Newbold’s lawyer telegraphed that
the detective held a pistol in eaeh hand
aud they were accidentally discharged
"It is a great pity,” said Governor
Ellerbe. "I would not have given New
bold for the rest of the constable gang.”

dibdil digestion,
Dr, Jeunwoti. who has made a life:
study of -stomach troubles, says: All,
forms <of indigestion really amount, toi
the same thing, .that is, failure to com- !
pletely digest the;food eaten; no matter
whether the trouble is acid dyspepsia
or sour stomach, belching of wind,ner
vous Dyspepsia or loss of .flesh and ap
petite; a person will,not have any of
them if'tne stomach can be induced by
any natural, harmless way to thorough
-1 digest what is eaten; and this can be
done by a simple remedy which I have
tested iu hundreds of aggravated cases :
with complete success The remedy is a.
combination of fruit and vegetable es
sences, pure aseptic pepsin aud golden
seal put up in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets and sold by druggists un
der the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets One or two of these tablets
should be taken after meals and allowed
to dissolve in the mouth and mingling
with the food in the stomach digests it
completely before it has time to ferment
decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat, eggs
and similar wholesome foods.
It is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known, by people
generally, it would be a national bles
sing as we are a nation of dyspeptics
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their
origin to imperfect digestion and nu
trition.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine, but a fifty cent
package will do more real good for a
weak stomach than fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines and a person has
the satisfaction of knowing just what
he is putting in*bis stomach, which he
does, not know, when widely advertised
patent medicines are used.

Raleigh, Nov. 11. —Before Referee
William R. Allen ac Newbern, there
was argument in an important case
against the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
association of New York. The plaintiffs
contend that the company unlawfully
changed the character of the contract in
its policies, and the question involved is
whether it can make such change at any
time it pleases by raising the age, in
creasing premiums or reducing the
amount of the policy. The company
claims that it is mutual, and has full
power to make changes. Each policy
holder gives it his proxy upon receiving
his policy. A great sum is involved in
the contention.

Demorest, Ga., Nov. 11. —The Bank
of Demorest has been placed in the
hands of R. T. Kenimer of Cleveland aS
temporary receiver. The receivership
was asked for by Cashier Arthur Hamp
ton. Ugly rumors have been afloat for
a week or two in regard to the bank’s
condition, and threats have been made
by a stockholder to have a.receiver ap
pointed. A notice on the bank’s door
tells depositors they will lose nothing.
J. C. Berry, one of the best known
citizens of Spencer, Mo., testifies that
he cured himself of the worst kind of
piles by using a few boxes of DeWitt’s
Witch Hazel Salve. He had been troubled
with piles for over thirty years and had
used many different kinds of so called
cures; but DeWitt’s was the one that did
the work and he will verify this state
