Washington, Sept. 10 -Ex-Attorney Gen¬
eral Garland is a.great hunter HU vaca¬
tions are usually taken iu the early summer,
and spsntat hi* country home, Hominy HiU,
Ark. In connection with his hunting pro-
pensities f lie former attorney general has just
; had a queer experience. Having performed
some legal service?for the state of Arkansas,
he put in a hill of $2,300 therefor, and this
bill came up in tho legislature, where a spe¬
cial appropriation unexpected was proposed for his bene¬
fit But opposition appeared. A
numt>or of the old granger members of the
legislature put their limits together and com¬
pared notes after this fashbm:
"I don’t know about this thing of paying
Garland $2,500 for ’tendin’ to a state lav
suit,” said one. ’Pears to me that’s a pretty
steep bill, evea if he is a great lawyer.”
“Seems so to me, too," chimed in another.
“ All that Garland is ho has been made by
the state of Arkausavv, an’ it isn’t just the
right tiling for him to charge us such a' big
hiU for legal services.”
“That’s so,” echoed a third member. "Gar¬
land has left the state, and only comes out
here to'hunt and have a good time. His homo
is in Washington, and I’m afraid he isn’t one
of us any more.”
Thus the discussion ran on, and as member
after member concurred in these views the
outlook for Mr. Garland’s bill became very
dal k, indeed. Finally some of the attorney
general’s friends came to the rescue. They
begged the objectors to remember that Gar¬
land had worked hard for the state, and was
entitled to his pay like any other laborer.
“Garland is a good fellow,” they declared,
“and you ought to be willing to do something
for him, eveirtf you can’t pay him the full
amount of his hill.”
Then the old grangers put their heads to¬
gether again. They still persisted in declar¬
ing the bill excessive, but admitted Garland,
was a good fellow and that something ought
to be done for bin).
“I’ll tell you What we’il be willing to do,”
said •e » leading granger, , finally. UUOl “We don’t
want to be lim’d on Garland, and are willing
to help him out HeTs very fond of coming
down here and hunting doer with dogs. Now,
we don’t believe in hunting deer with dogs.
When we go after deer we still hunt. Besides,
Garland wants to hunt in the middle of the
summer and in the fall. That is against our
game laws. So l think the host thing we can
do is to pass a law giving Garland the privi¬
lege of hunting tho y ea;- round, and let that
pay his bill against the state,”
This proposition was favorably received,
and a Ml giving the former senator and at¬
torney general extraordinary hunting privi¬
leges was introduced and passed. Mr. Gar¬
land is now at Hominy HiU, whence he forays
out every day with gun and dogs, doing his
best to get $2,500 worth of sport out of the
woods.
The richest real estate owners in Washing¬
ton are the Willard brothers. They own
Willard’s hotel, tho Ebbitfc house, all the
buildings along Newspaper row, and a great
number of residences and business blocks.
The Willards are queer men. They are a
strange combination of cupidity and good
principles, and are rich enough to be able to
afford a good many eccentricities. Willard’s
hall, in which the Peace convention of 186g
was held, is owned by them. It brings them
little or no revenue, and probably costs more
for maintenance and repairs than they get
Out of it The building has an admirable
site, and if torn down and replaced by a mod¬
ern office building the property would he
very lucrative But tho Willards like the
old hall, with its historic associations, and
whUe they live, or either of them survives,
not a brick or stone of it wiU be touched. If
the Willards do not like a man they won’t
rent it to him.
If they do like a man, they will be unto
him model landlords, promptly making all
repairs, even at an expenditure far greater
than landlords are usually willing to incur.
All they ask is that checks for the rent be
sent them on tho 1st day of the month. Tho
2d of the month will not do just as well. The
Willards will give no leases. They have bqt
qne price for their buildings, structures
Which they own have stood vacant for years,
simply because qobody will pay them their
price. A slight reduction of the rent would
secure good tenants. One of tho most desir¬
able buildings in Newspaper row has twp
floors. For some reason or other the Wil¬
lards want to font this house entire to one
tenant. They hqva had dozens of offer-* for
the two floors separately, than which would give
them a larger rental they ask for, but
they have permitted tho building to stand
vacant for ten years, and it will so stand as
long as the Willards live, unless somebody
comes along and takes both floors on the
terms asked.
At the corner of New York avenue and
Fourteenth street is a vacant iot about which
a good story is told. It is owned by one of
the Willards. Next door lives a doctor who
has been anxious to buy the vacant lot, which
runs alongside of his office and residence, to
permit time of an enlargement of his house. Spme
Willard. ago lie opened negotiations with Mr.
The latter’s price was a little too
high for the doctor, and no bargain was
made. After the lapse of a few weeks the
doctor tried is again, but wa3 met with the
fiat statement that the lot was not for sale
at any price. Thus discouraged, the doctor
offered Willard his former price," and fol¬
lowed this up with the offer of a figure nearly
a thousand dollars above the value originally
set by the owner. But the lot was not for
sale. As the sequel shows, Mr. Willard had
taken offense at something said during the
negotiations, and had resolved not to sell gt
any price. Probably a check f or a half mill¬
ion dollars would not have tempted him.
„ A few weeks afterward the doctor was
much surprised to see a number of teams
hauling stones upon the lot. In a day or
two more the lot was literally covered with
gravestones. Willard had rented the ground
to Manning, the monument dealer, for a
merely nominal sum, and, thus surrounded
by gloomy reminders of the futility of physic
and certain fate of all things human, the doo-
tor has concluded to move Ms office. He
fays it wa* not pleasant for his patismU to
sit and. look out upon a field of mortuary
monuments. ^’Swtaaster General Wanamaker i* attract¬
ing a great deal of attention jnst now with
his plan to give the people the advantages of

besttosuch affairs, being a very poor politi¬
cian and a very good business man. A large

the time of making the last purchase, and
expecting to have all their goods delivered at
their homes before night The trouble was
that with thousands of packages pouring into
the delivery room from all of the hundreds
of departments, the clerks could not make
sure of getting together all the articles pur¬
chased by each Individual. Often a de-
livery wagon would be started out with
what was supposed to be all the
packages belonging to Mrs. Smith, of
U,444 Penn avenue, and after the depart¬
ure of the wagon a number of ottyer articles
purchased by that industrious shopper would
be discovered somewhere in the delivery
room. This mode necessary another trip Of
the wagon out to 14,444 Penu avenue, a lost
of time and money, besides causing good
Mrs. Smith no end of anxiety about the
safety and whereabouts of bar undelivered
purchases. ■ rtN . , -t -A
One day Mr. Wanamaker went dowh to
the basement of the big store, where the de¬
livery room is, determined to devise some
plan that would put an end to the annoyance*
and delays of that Important branch of the
business. In a few moment* ho sent" for hi*
boss carpenter and instructed Mm to Mild at
onoe twelve hundred large boxes in tiers, run¬
ning from floor to ceiling. For each of these
boxes a transfer card is printed and used hi
the store upstairs. If a customer desires to
purchase in different departments of the es¬
tablishment, and have all his purchases de¬
livered at his bouse, he is given one of these
cards. Say it is No. 999. Every article pur¬
chased by him is sent down stairs and put in
box 999. As soon as the customer has Com¬
pleted his purchases and paid for them the
card Is sent to the delivery room, where it
serves as notice that all the packages in box
999 may be dispatched iu tho wagon. This
simple system gives perfect handling of the
thousands of packages sent out each day
from the Wanamaker store. The magnitude
of the delivery department may be judged
by the fact that in the busy season of the
s year 850 men and boys and 120 wagons, fifty
of these owned by the firm, other are employed.
I saw on the street the day a young
man, now fast going to wreck, who once oc¬
cupied a place of the highest trust and re¬
sponsibility. He had charge of the door
leading to one of the vaults in the treasury
In which were stored hundreds of millions of
dollars. The outer door had a time lack, And
this young man carried in his mind the com¬
bination to tho inner door. It was his duty
to open tMs door at 9 o'clock each morning.
Passing the night in dissipation, he often ar¬
rived at the treasury with his head in such
an addled condition that it would take him
half an hour to think of the combination,
then being able to recall It only by toning
himself up with a few drinks of brandy from
a bottle kept conveniently near for just such
emergencies. It is hardly necessary to add
that a man who carried such an important
combination in such a poor head was unable
to retain Ms place iu thegovernment service.
A former social queen at the capital, a
woman whose beauty and wit made her Wash¬ fa¬
mous, was talking one recent day of
ington society of the present compared with
Washington society of her day. “Then,”
she said, “brains counted. The select circle
was composed of the ablest men, the wittiest,
the most brilliant To gain entrance to this
charmed circle, full membership, one had to
prove his mettle. Mental drones and lag¬
gards could find no entrance there. Wealth
had notMng to do with it The poorest man
has just as good Ohanoe as the richest, and,
what is more strange, the wife of the poor
man, so he was a man of ability, could hold
her head as high as the millionaire’s wife,
and a good deal Mgher if the millionaire
chanced to be sluggish and stupid, as million¬
aires often are. Financial ability to give
dinners and lunches was no mark of social
strength twenty-five years qgQ, We rarely
served refreshments, inexpensive or, if at ail, of the sim¬
plest and most sort.
“Nowadays,” added tho reigning belle of
years ago, “terrapin appears to have taken
tho place of brains”
A veteran member of tho house of repre¬
sentatives was recently asked which is the
great American game, baseball or draw poker.
His answer was: “Neither. The great Ameri¬
can game is politics. That is a game at which
millions play,, and but few win. The cards
are the white ballots which fall In the box,
the stakes fame and emoluments. Politics is
like poker in that It is partly a game of
chance, but one in which nerve, skill and
finesse are of more importance than luck.
Like poker, it is a game of human nature.
The man who doesn’t know human nature,
who cannot read faces and guess purposes,'
cannot be a successful poker player. Nor
pan he win at politics. At poker, as at poli¬
tics, the man with the longest purse has an
apparent advantage at the beginning of the
game, but in the end the poor though skillful
player Is likely to be at the head of tho pro¬
cession, while the rich man and his ffioney
haye Afipf beep which soon parted.” sounds like good philosophy,
poming, as it does, from one,who is a better
poker player than politician, congressional and a good
enough politician to hold a
seat away from a score of ambitious men
during the last ten years.

quehanna river. On this tract, in 1788, he
laid out the site of Cooperstown, on the shore
of Otsego lake.
This spot, so beautiful today, mist have
possessed a singular fascination when the
surrounding hills and mountains looked not
even on a village. In sunlight, in moonlight
and in storm they kept the same impassive
silence. Now the summer tourist may ram¬
ble through the valleys or skim over the
lake unmindful of danger. Then at any 1 mo¬
ment the frontiersman might be startled by
a painted savage face staring at Mm from
behind the bushes. But around .him were
beautiful undulations, sloping gradually; blue
outlines of mountains against the sky; the
bosom of the lake; and all was wild and
silent and uncultivated.
In 1793 the family removed from New Jer¬
sey to this wilderness, and for six years lived
in a log house, but when Cooper was 7 years
of age his father built Hall, a marmr house which
he called Otsego for mdny years the
most imposing in Central New York. Yet
when it was built It stood on the frontiers.
Pioneers bad only began to push out through
the Mohawk valley, then the only available
route to the further west. In Cooper’s boy¬
hood ho was used to looking upon Indians
when they came in for barter. Their prox¬
imity doubtless caused occasional anxiety,
and the child's mind must have been excited
by stories of their depredations, or warfare
among their different tribes, or even reports
of intended hostilities against the white set¬
tlers. His miud naturally was charged with
their traditions, and be became familiar with
n, the Indian from personal contact. The chiefs
of tho Six Nations, who were still powerful,
were more fortunate m having their portraits
go down to posterity than they suspected.
The urchin they saw playing-about, or staring
at them when they came to Otsego Hall, was
to make their pictures buried live long after their
pomes were to be in oblivion.
But Cooper left this natural state early.

'Cooper and those about redoubled him, and Ms old

Cooper wrote a story called “Home as

neighbors. It was not a success In literature
and was an unfortunate evidence to be left
behind him of the author’s state of mind,
though fortunately for his fame few now
ever read it. Two of its characters were
ascribed to Cooper himself, and when
denied that they represented Mm he was not
believed. He was never forgiven by Ms con¬
temporaries* for writing the book, and the
newspaper attacks ware so violent that the
pugnacious author began libel suite against
a number of editors. Thurlow Weed, James
Watson Webb and Horace Greeley were
among the number. The editors laughed at
the suits, but Cooper won them, mid the
damages soon became quite a respectable
amount. One by one they gave in and ceased
theso attacks. Thurlovy Weed was tha most
pertinacious, but after repeated verdicts and
costs even he weakened, and in 1842 pub¬
lished a retraction of all he had ever pub¬
lished derogatory to Cooper’s character.
Cooper died in 1851, and Otsego am wa*
burned a few years inter. After that the
estate was broken up and passed out of the
hands of the family. The novelist was buried
in the ~ Episcopal churchyard, near Otsego
hall, where he died. There a monument has
been erected, which is surmounted by a
statue of old “Leather-stocking,’’ so dear to
the Imagination of the American youth. Six
months after Cooper’s death a meeting was
held in New York in honor of his memory.

It was presided over by Daniel WUliam Webster, and

embittered have gradually died out of the re¬

only remain.
Suggestions to Jelly Makers,
The most tart fruits will make the firmest
jelly, although fruits of all kinds can be
used. But in the case of peaches, quinces,
apples and crab apples, a little water must
be added to them for the first cooking. They
are not sufficiently juicy, and Would burn
before any juice could be oatain&l. A more
laborious method, however, which will
avoid adding the water, i# to improvise a
double boiler by setting the kettle of fruit
into a large large pan pan of of water, water, and and cook cook the the fruit fruit
in this way. way. It will need stirring frequently,
and to be cooked longer than by the first
method.
Quinces require a quarter than of a pound less
sugar to a pint of juice other fruits,
while green grapes, which make a most de¬
licious, spicy jelly to eat with poultry and
game, need one and one-half pounds of sugar
for the same quantity of juice. Barberries
require that their juice and the sugar be

From the bland, refined and gentle)
Brieriy toe reader is asked to turn to a
ual whose manner natural and appearance that so clearly only
indicate his vileness one can
wonder bow any one could be deceived to
him. Ho Is the “bad Mann” of the combina¬
tion lately formed to plunder, perhaps tc
murder, too Hon. Ray Hamilton, but Mi
exact relation to the other parties is not felly
known. If he had not been on abandoned
drunkard, unable to keep sober when whisky
was within his reach, the plot might have
been a success despite the woman's folly. It
would seem that they planned to have Ham¬
ilton make a will in favor of his -supposed
wife and child nnd then murder him.
“Black Bart,” whose true name is Relmund

As often happens in such cases there is a
dispute of aa to but the the inciting popular cause* verdict to bis career
crime; puts them
in two words, “dime novels.” About a hun¬
dred of theso extraordinary productions

crank may amuse himself with the reflection
to at it needed but *10 worth of romance to
turn an innocent lad into a villain. The
man of any literary taste, however, will
*bt that such a dose of such stuff would dis¬
gust rather than attract, and the philosopher
will maintain that unless one is a criminal at
heart ail toe “penny dreadfuls” In the world
would not wake Mm a criminal in fact
More than one expert iu crime, from In¬
spector Byrnes, of New York, to a rural jus¬
tice of the peace, will tell you that men do
not become criminals by reading of crimi¬
nals; they seek and enjoy such reading
they are already criminal in feeling. If,
therefore, yon find a boy or a
ployo unduly fond of “pirate stories” and

One encouraging fact must be noted The
“tone highwayman” and the “during rob¬
bers” of the far west are rapidly disappear¬
ing. Joaquin Marietta ami “Dad Smith,”
the “James gang” and the Younger brother*
have no surcessort that will at all compare
with them. The western robber is now a
very prosaic being, and Ms criminal career if
generally short.
