CI.EYELAN D'S SECRETARY SOMETHINO ABOUT COL. LAMONT AND THE WORK HE PERFORMS. Saving the Administration Many a Mis take—A Terror to Bores and a Good- Humored Diplomat -His Great Influ ence-Answering the President’s Let ters and Running the White House Machine Generally. EYom tlf .Veto York Sun. Washington, June 11. —There is no man living who exercises a greater power in the administration of the affairs of this govern ment, scarcely excepting the President him self, than Daniel Lamont, and I don't be lieve if you were to search the whole popu lation over you could not tiud one better qualified to fill the position he holds. If Presidents’ privave secretaries were to be made to order, Dan Lamont would make a good model. He is cool, wary and alert; he is judicious, diplomatic and deliberate; he is patient, yet he is prompt; he can put up with a smooth bore who must be toler ated as long as anybody could, and he can bounce out one who need not be listened to, with skilful alacrity. A gentleman who was about the execu tive mansion at Albany a good deal between the time when Cleveland was elected and inaugurated tells me that he set in the back part of that house, and in voluntarily overhead a conversation between the President elect and a gentleman who was very deaf very tedious and had the lrest of intentions. Thus adviser had been instructing the President-elect as to his duty for an hour or more while my friend was waiting without, hardly stopping to draw breath, when Daniel Lamont passed through the room. The President glanced up at him with a sigh of relief, and in an undertone which the deaf man could not hear, said: , “Dan, can’t you rescue me from this old rooster; he has almost talked me to death i” Lamont said: “Introduce me,’’ which ceremony being performed, he steered the bore over to the other corner of the apartment as skillfully os an angler would snare a trout, and in less than five minutes was shaking hands with him on the front steps and thanking him for the honor of the call. A man who can do that sort of thing without giving offense is very handy around the White House, where more bores go than visit any other place on the conti nent. The President appreciates the use fulness of his private secretary, and recog nizes it by paying Col. Lamoiit as much money out of his own pocket as he receives from the government, which is 83,500 a year, so that his compensation is very near ly as much as that of a Cabinet officer. Their coming together was an accident. Till Mr. Cleveland was elected Governor of New York Col. Lamont was a reporter of the Albany Argus. During the campaign he acted as Secretary of the State Commit tee, and when Mr. Cleveland was getting up his first message to the Legislature he asked for someone who was well informed on State affairs to assist him. Everybody agreed that Dan Lamont would be as able an assistant as could be found, and so he went to Buffalo and re mained there three weeks with the new Governor, hunting up statistics for him, looking after his correspondence, and doing all sorts of jobs of a confidential and offi cial nature. When Gov. Cleveland was inaugurated he complimented Lamont by appointing him to a position on his staff, which had no salary attached to it, but carried with it the honorary rank of Colonel, and that is the way he got his military title. The new Governor had never used a private secre tary, and said he Aid not want one, but he had not been in the executive mansion a week before he was totally swamped. Then, for the second time, Lament was sent for to help him clear awav the accumula tion of business: but it would not stay cleared away, and so Lamont found himself in stalled in a position he had not sought, which had not been offered him, but into which he had been hustled by circum stances. It was only to be temporary, the service he was performing, but since that day the Pi’esideiit has scarcely been out of sight of Dan for a day except once, and that was when off on his bridal trip. Even then he sent for Lamont before the week was over. No President ever gave more full and free confidence to hissecretarv than is intrusted to Lamont. Mr. Cleveland has not a secret from him. He even employed the genial Daniel to do his courting, and couldn't have had a better agent in this ca pacity. By the time Lamont reaches the White House from his home on H street, four or five blocks away, the President has finished liis breakfast, read the morning papers and is ready for his day’s work. Lamont goes to his side at once, and the two sit down to gether over the morning’s mail. There are usually a hundred lettered’ so requiring tho I’l-esident’s attention, and after reading them over he directs what the answers, if any, shall be. Then there are other official subjects of pressing importance to be looked after, and the work of the day to be laid out. By this time the President’s call ers have begim to arrive, and while he is disposing of them Col. Lamont has a room full of people to see. They come on almost every errand that can be conceived of. One wants a foreign mission; another thinks some official of the government has treated him unjustly; another has a claim pending before the "Commissioner of Pensions, ana thinks a note from the President would se cure immediate and favorable action; an other has been granted a. patent for some new labor-saving machine, and would like to show it to the President in order to get from him a certificate of its utility. There are usually a number of poor women who have been discharged from government em ployment. or whose husbands or sons have neon dismissed; women whose sons have enlisted in the army or navy, and who have come all the way to Washington to get the President to order their discharge, or the haves or mothers of convicts with pitiful appeals for pardon. Then there are delega tions who have come to invite the President to appear ns an advertisement for some sum mer resort, or some county fair, or to make an address at some celebration. The lat ter’s doorkeeper sends to Col. Laniont all tho callers he thinks the President will not want to see, and they comprise about two-thirds of all the people who enter tho White House. Politicians ami office seekers try to interest Lamont in the claims of them selves and their friends and to persuade him to use his influence in their behalf; but this in something lie will not do. Lament's rule is to Serve the President alone. Ho is interested in the welfare of no one else, and, unless he sees where the President .can make a point, ho offers no suggestion. Very queer requests are made of him. One day a gentleman called at the White House to ask Col. Laniont to persuade the President to take particular notice of an old lady who was intending to lie at his pun lie reception that day. lie said it would give him so much gratification if he would only notice her a little more conspicuously than he did the rest of Hi* guests. On an other occasion a gentleman wrote to say that he would attend tile reception with a bride whom ho hail told that the President would recognize as such as soon as ho saw her in tho crowd. Ho had tried to con vince her that the President, by some art of divination, was enabled to detect evorv bride who came to the White House, and if Air. Cleveland would only demonstrate that he had such a faculty in this caso it would lie very gratifying. He told how he could be identified, andny what sign the Presi dent might tell the party. When Col. la ment took the note to tlie President tho Tit ter luughod, and said, “All right, if I can re member I will try to gratify them." When the party reached him in the line of hand makers, and the gentleman who had made the rouuost gave the sign, th President “tumbled - ’ instantly, and, looking into the lady’s face, be said: “I’m delighted to see you, Mrs. Jones, par ttcuiorly to tu> brides are bCtro* to-day. X have watched for them as usual, for I can always detect them, you Know, and you are but the third I’ve seen. We usually have a dozen or so, but they make up in beauty’ to day what they- lack in numbers.” Now, who having ti e prevalent impres sion of the President would expect him to do a graceful little act like that ! The young woman nearly fainted from amazement, but she soon recovered from it, nnd will tell her children and her grandchildren how the President of the United States identified her a bride in a company of 150 women. Not long ago the President received a lot tery- ticket from a person down in Mississip pi. It evidently came from somo iguor ant colored man, who read on the back of the document that no prize would be paid unless the ticket was indorsed by the Presi dent. Of course the President of the lottery company was meant, but the poor darkey thought it was tho President of the United States who must sign the ticket to make it good. Other incidents quite as curious relieve tho monotony of official life nearly every day. Sometimes it is aman who has an invest ment in which he would like to have the President join, or some inventive genius with a patent suspender buckle which he wants the President to try and commend. Each day- brings its cranks and curiosities. At 1:30 o’clock, when the President goes down to his public reception, Col. Lamont slips out to get a bite of lunch and a breath of fresh air, and at 3:30 is back at his desk again. As soon as the President has dis missed his last caller he rings his bell for Lamont, and the two are closeted for the rest of the afternoon. “Here,” says the Presitoit, “is a letter from a woman who has lost three sons in the war and cunT get a pension. Send that down to Black and tell him to stretch a point in her favor if the facts are as she gives them; and, by tho way, I wish yqu would remind Commissioner Coleman the next time he conies here to send some garden seeds to that old fellow—what’s his name?—l’ve got a memorandum of it some where —why, that old fellow who keeps the hotel in the Adirondacks. I promised him last summer I’d have some seeds sent to him, but forgot all about it. By the way, Dan, what arrangements have you made about our trip up there the first of Juno?” and the failthful Daniel relates the story of the preparations for the fishing trip. The next topic of conversation may be an extra ses sion of Congress, or the funding of the pub lic debt, or tho appointment of a Governor of Utah. Perhaps a telegram may come which requires an immediate answer, or a member of the Cabinet may enter with some business to bo attended to at once, but if there is no interruption the conference goes on till the President’s desk is cleared or a messenger comes in to say that the care riage has come to take the President for the afternoon drive. Formerly Col. Lamont went with the President, but since there has been a mistress at the White House she has occupied the other seat. And it is better all around for her to do so, for the President always talked business when he was with Lamont, but when he has his wife along he lays it aside. Lamont, too, while he loses a ride in a comfortable carriage behind a fine pair of horses, gets a chance to visit his own family, and a respite from business, too. At 7 o’clock or 7:30 Col. La mont is at his desk again, signing the official letters that have been written by the sten ographers during the day—for he signs all the mail that goes out of the White House except what private letters the President and Mrs. Cleveland write. What little time he has left he spends going over the newspapers, which his editorial training en ables him to do with great rapidity. The articles he wants the President so see are marked with a blue pencil, and those that are to be cut. out and pasted in a scrap book are marked with a green pencil. Ilay’es and Arthur both had what was called a newspa per clerk —a man who did nothing else but clip from the newspapers what was said about them. Lamont does the reading him self, and the telegraph operator spends his spare tiibe in using the scissors and paste brush. No records are kept at the White House except of the appointments made, thff com missions signed, and the other documents of an official character issued by the President. The latter has his own private memoranda, but it is not preserved. All letters of im portance are filed away. Those relating to appointments to office are sent to the sev eral departments where they belong, but two-thirds of the stationery brought in the mails is sent to the paper mills. In addition to his clerical duties, Col. Lamont acts as Grand Chamberlain. Ho makes out the lists of persons to be invited to state dinners or receptions, issues the invitations, makes up the table, pairs off the guests two and two as he thinks will be most agreeable and congenial, so that a guest who gets a good partner may thank Col. Lamont. while one who does not must not blame him, for material is scarce some times. There are a good many private affairs of the President to be looked after, also, as well as confidential errands to New York to see politicians there, which can be in trusted to" no other member of the offiial family. The President’s marriage -was a great test of Lamont's ability as a manag er, but I understand that he does not wish to undertake such a job again. Nothing that has appeared in the papers since he entered the White House has amused the President as much as a two-line paragraph printed in the Sun a few days after the wedding. It read: “Advice to Presidents about to marry: Employ Daniel Lamont.” Advice for the Minister. From the Dakota Bell. A young man who recently graduated from an Eastern theological school went out to Murray, in the Coeur d’Alene country, to take charge of a church. The largest gambling hall in town was cleared for his ac commodation the .first Sunday, one table on which Spanish monte woe usually dealt be ing left for him to staud behind. A large stock register book was laid on this, which was supposed to represent a Bible. The whole town turned out and the young di vine preached a powerful sermon. In it he strongly denounced gambling, horse-racing, drinking and profanity. That afternoon he was called on by a committee of leading citizens, one of whom said: ‘Tai-dner, thar’s a little matter we’d like to talk over with ye. I reckon it's all O. K. that you an’ me should speak o’ some mat ters as we’re a good deal in the same line o’ work, as I might say—both o’ us toyin’ to better the community.” “Indeed, do I see a minister of the gospel before me?” “I reckon not, oapt n, ’less there s one ov ’em sneakin’ up behind me—which ain’t prob'ble as I may say.

A dispatch from Niagara Falls to the New York World says: Carlisle D. Graham, the hardy cooper, made his third voyage through the Whirlpool Rapids today. The trip was attended with great peril, and only the navigator’s nerve and presence of mind saved his life. At 4 o’clock this afternoon there was a tremendous crowd along the river hanks and on the bridges. The Grand Legion of the Select Knights and the Ancient Order United Workmen’s reunion here to-day brought a score of excursion trains and thousands of strangera into the village, and Graham’s voyage was the event of the day. Down at the old Maid of the Mist landing the barrel was launched, and was anxiously watched by the cooper and his friends. Nothing more moist than the atmosphere of dime museums and saloons had touched it for many months, and the cask leaked badly. Because of this and for lack of perfect ar rangements with the proprietors of Whirl pool parks and bridges Graham and his manager, K. R. C. Nolan, decided to aban don the plan of riding, Mazeppa fashion, on the outside of the barrel. The announce ment was quietly made, but such a howl of disgust was raised that Graham declared he would go through anyway, mid soon stowed himself in the bottom of his long cylinder. There was no hammock to support him, and only two straps to bang on by, but at 5:30 he shouted pluckily, “Let her go,” and the cask was towed out into the stream. The man-hole cover was not hinged, and the last words of Manager Nolan were: “Don’traise the cover till you are sure your are all right.” Three minutes later the yawl boat cast off its tow, and the cask, standing straight up in the water, started slowly down stream. At 5:36 it struck the main current, and three-quarters of a minute later danced under the cantilever bridge. As the barrel passed beneath the suspension bridge a shout was raised and a dozen enthusiastic ladies dropped their corsage bouquets in the wake of the craft, which by this time had reached the great hollow wave where the Whirlpool Rapids begin. Up on the long swell it traveled, and then down with a plunge, and then on again, spinning like a cork, and again hidden from view under the green waves and the cloud of spray. Only once did the barrel up-end, ami then it quickly righted and sped on. At 5:44, just fourteen minutes from the start, the cask entered the great whirlpool, and the entire circuit of the pool was made in seven minutes. The watchers at the Canadian point neglooted an opportunity to capture the cask, and it began its second circuit. For some minutes it floated slowly about, and then a sudden current carried it nearly to the centre of the pool. Constable Andrew Horne, Manager Nolan and others who were close to the water’s edge, tried to notify Graham of his danger. A dozen shots from a revolver were fired, and at last the man-hole cover was pushed up and Graham’s head protruded. There was no possibility of replacing the cover, and should he be carried down the lower rapids the great waves would fill the cask ana drowm him. Graham realized his danger, and could hear the shouts of warning. Await ing a favorable turn, which brought the barrel a little nearer the shore, he climbed out and dived toward the shore. The barrel half turned over and shipped considerable water. Ed Flanders, Freddy Quinn and another than had been hired by Manager Nolan to assist Graham in the,whirlpool, but none of them volunteered now. The cooper was battling for life fully 100 yards from shore and the chances were desperate, %'olan was frantic. “Swim! you dog, you!” he shouted to Flanders, but the latter refused to risk his life. Nolan threatened him with his revolver, but Flanders was too badly frightened. Constable Horne muttered “coward” under his breath and quickly threw off his clothes. Clad in his under clothes he dived off a huge rock, and with long, powerful strokes swam towards the now almost exhausted cooper. Graham was pulled under the surface once, but bobbed up again a few yards away and swarn bravely. .... . - IV hen Horne reached him both men were in bad shape, but they persevered, and at last the variable currents which had opposed their effort turned and swung both the swimmers in close to the shore. Horne suc ceeded in dragging Graham to land, and the latter fainted. The brave constable was not in much better shape, but aopious draughts of brandy revived them. The cooper was a mass of bruises from his rough handling in the barrel, and his story of the trip was a thrilling one. “I could hear a hissing noise when I passed under the bridges,” said he, “and I knew where I was then. That big plunge in front of Man ning’s elevator is a terror. It made the barrel spin like a top, and I crouched down in the bottom till my knees touched my chin. Then the cask began to leak, and I was first knee deep and afterward nearly chin deep in water. When I was going around the whirlpool the second time 1 thought I was iu tho lower rapids. I didn’t hear the shouts at first, and when I lifted off the cover I tell you I was scared. I was drifting off toward'the rapids again, and I know I would be drowned in the cask sure. There was no way for me to get that cover on again. It looked pretty ticklish there in the middle of the whirlpool, but it was life or death, so I took chances on swim ming.” The barrel drifted for some hours in the maelstrom and it was recovered this even ing. Graham says he ls through with the rapids and will do nothing more in the aquatic line until Juiv 15, when be proposes to go over the Horseshoe Falls. Seek Fortune’s Embrace Ere it is Too Late.
