WASHIXOTOK , April 8. [ Special Correspon
dence of TUB BEII.J This is the age of the
private secretary. Every public man Tiero in
Washington requires ono or more watchdogs
to protect him from the public and the richer
thu man is or tbo higher bis position , the
more careful nro the watches placed around
him. President Harrison is guarded by mes
sengers and secretaries ut every point nnd
every cabinet minister has a messenger sitting -
ting before the front door of his ofllco and a
secioiary or two through whoso hands tbo
visitors have to pass before ' , hey got to iho
Kicut "I am , " within. Ills the same wllh
ipgard to letters as It U with persons. Thcso
men receive thousands of letters n month nnd
tbcso all have to pass the nrgus oycs of the
private secretary. If they are Important
they reach him. If they are foolish , cran ky
or impudent they are consigned to the wnslo
basket. President Harrison'a mall contains
nt least HOO letters every day or more than
2,000 n week or over 100,003 a year. If ho
nufiworotl these loiters himself It would take
nit Ills tlmo merely to road thorn nnd to die-
Into replies , and the result Is the mail Is
wcodotl out again nnd acaln bcfoio it reaches
bun and only the really important matters
nro called to his attention. Tncso lotlors are
brought to the While House by a special
messenger. Tnoy are llrat given Into the
Imnds of the executive cleric , Mr. U. I"1. Tib-
bolt , who opens thorn with n stool paper cutter -
tor and rapidly roads their contents. As ho
BOOS ever a lotior ho passes upon i la impor
tance and decides its fntoas far as its probable
future Is concerned. If It is n request to
President liurrison to look up a piMiilon case
lie marlvs the \vord "ponslons" on it and It
BOQi to tbo pension ofllce. If it affects a
treasury claim it gees to the Treasury de
partment and If it Is a request for an auto
graph or money It Is droppad into the waste
basket. Trio important letters are laid aside
und are carried in lo Mr , Halford , the presi
dent's ' private secretary , wno uses his hoe on
tbo epistolary garden and cuts out all letters
but tnoso which the president must sea , By
iho tlmo the mall hrota lo tne proiidont it has
been cut down a half or two-thirds nnd ho
rapidly disposes of the balance by dictation.
Mr , Tlbbott U his confldonllal stonozr.iphor
and ha goes to the president' * room from
tjm < { to time during the rtay whenever Mr ,
Harrison U at loUnro nnd lauus his answers
to his mail. Ho loll a mo the nroildout dlo-
tales very rapidly , raraly changing n' word

Ity organisations. Some of these begging
letters are full of pathos and
too majority of thorn are from
poor tiud iphorunt people. The president -
dent Is addressed In nil sorts of ways. His
correspondents call him "His Hiehness , "
"Ills Excellency , " "Mr. Con Harrison , "
"Tho Hon. Bon Harrison , " "His Uoducad ,
the Piesldcnt , " and the letters nro full of
the rudest ot spelling and writing. About
half of the envelopes uro marked "inivato , "
"porboiml , " or "for tlio president only , " and
some of thorn are sent in care of Private Soc-
ictary Halford. A largo number aio sent In
care of Mrs. Harrison or ore enclosed In en
velopes addressed to Mrs. Harrison \vltn a
note that she pieient them to the president ,
and all sorts of pious dodges are resorted tote
to got the president's oyo. The worst of ull
are the autograph fiends. Hoys and girls ,
men and women all over the country whoa
they start a collection write tolling the presi
dent they want uli name llrst In their hoolc
and they send cards for him on which they
ask him to put his autojraph. They want
presents of bis photograph , locks of his hair ,
and samples of Mrs. Harrison's dresses for
crazy quilts. There is ono Ohio man who
has written regularly lor something of this
kind every week since the president was
nomlimtodl The day after tbo convention ho
wrote for two photographs pretending they
wore for a Harrison club In his town. They
were sent nnd a week or so later the man
wrote that they must have gotten lost in the
mulls und asking for tnoro. Other dodges
were altornptod as to ether things and the
man Is probably an autograph peddler as
well us nu autograph collector. Mono of
these autograph loiters are losponded to ,
though some hogging letters and letters on
business of various kinds rocolvo on answer
signed by ono of the president's secietarlos
slating what has been done with them ,
llio J'nlr riiuii'ou mill the I'lculdent's Necli-
Ilr.
Some of the letters received by the prosl
dent are very funny and some are so witty
that they command an answer In ttpUoof Iho
Demon of thu Waste basket. This was iho
case with a letter from a young-western girl
ast week who wrolo her screed In pooiry
and usked for something that the president
had worn for paioh in a crazy quilt to bo-
sold at a church fair. Her letter fell Into
the hands of ono of iho young ladles con
ncotod with thoWblto House and she was BO
much amused bv It that she got a necktie of
the presldcnt'sand sent It to'.ho girl. The
letter Is so clover that I give it verbatim. It
roads :
"My dear Mr. Harrison ,
I know it's a shumo
To bother you now ;
/But I'm ' not to bUrao ,
At least not so much ,

OUI-CT Letters of Cabinet 'Ministers.
The great departments get bushels upon
bushels nf mall ovary day. It Keeps ono
girl working constantly to merely cut open
the envelopes of the letters received by tbo
Ponblon ofllco and the average number open
ed a day is 10,000 and these all have to bo
disposed of by the various clerks. The
whole Interior department has a queer cor
respondence nnd Secretary Noble's mail is
full of curious loiters about lands nnd titles
pension Baud patents and the parpotual mo
tion crank and the man with a hobby send In
their letters by the score. There is a man In
Philadelphia who writes the president from
six to olL-ht fat loiters every week and signs
himself "His Godhead. " Heevldontly thinks
bo is a god and ho Is a cra/.y Washington
lawyer who was once an able praclllloner ,
but whoso mind became unbalanced and
whoso chief business now seems lo bo in try-
It.g lo instruct the president.
Secretary Foster's .Mull.
The queer lotlors lhat come to the Treasury
department uro numbered by the lens of
thousands every year. Tbo letters contain
ing conscience money enclose sums amount
ing from ten cents to thousands of dollars
und there are thousands of loiters referring
to war claims and those all go to iho second
auditor. Secretary Foster's personal mall
amounts to about IfiO toilers n day. These
are handled by hU private secretary , Mr. H.
\Vynnoand only iho really important ones
moot the secretary's eye. Mr , Foster Is very
charltabla but the begging lotlors novcr got
to him. They are torn up as n matter of
principle nnd thrown in the waste-basket.
Tbo other dny the wlfo of n state senator
from Ohio who know Secretary Foster qulto
well came in and took him to task for not
answering her letter asking for nid for the
Ohio church wllh which si o was connected ,
Secretary Foster looked up astonished and
said : "Why. my dear madam. I never got
your letter. You must bo mistaken , I did
not see It. "
"Well , I wrote it , " was the lady's answer ,
"and I stamped It , and I know it must have
coma hero , "
"It must have gone to my private secra-
tary If It nid , " said Secretary Fosler , "How
about U , Mr. Wynne ! " speaking to the man
.across the table. "Do you remember tbo
madame's letter I"
"Yes , I do. " said Wynne , "I remember it
very well. I toro it up and throw it In the
wusto basket. I do that with all such loiters
ters , and if I didn't you would bo as poor us
a church mouse before this administration is
over , They como hero on all sorts of pretenses -
tenses asking for thousands of dollars , and
if they wfcro answered or considered , all
your tlmo would bo taken upjvllh them. "
Mr , Wynne thou explained to the lady how
tboio letters came In and she loft the ofllco ,
seeing that U was impossible for Secretary
Foster to attend to them , but asking Mr.
Wynne to hereafter make an exception In
her case. This bo promised to do. A vast
number of letters are received by Secretary
Foster In regard to green goods circulars ,
and the men who writer " them always say
they are willing to help" thQsecretary ferret
out the offender * for consideration. There Is
a little toy now told wnlch through a trick
enables one to apparently make good green
back * out of white paper. It U done with
genuine bllU , however , and is only a clever
sleight-of-hand arrangement. The other day
the lecretary received a loiter telling of this
trick and saying that the little clothes ,

of bills from ( I up to f20 , that the machine

The private secretaries nro expected to
keep beggars and cranks away from their
chiols , and it will bo surprising to many to
know that bosrjrnrs "como right up to the
ofllcos of the cabinet ministers and try to got
at them while they are at work. These men
wear all sorts of clothes and It is hard to de
tect the crank or mendicant from a business
man. Ono called at the Treasury-department
the other day and said ho wanled to see Sec
retary Foster , whom he knewvory well. Mr.
Wynne received him in the anto-room. The
man were clothes of ; a preacher's cut aud ho
had a whlto cross on the laool of his coat. Ho
said bo was n minister and that ho had known
Mr. Foster in Ubio'aiid lhat ho merely
wanled lo pay his ijWpects to him. Ho pro
tested that he did not want any ofllco or any
monov but merely 'to ' shako hands with bis
old friend the secretary. Mr. Wynne con
cluded to risk him.ji.Ho'was admitted. Secretary -
rotary Foster did. n6t remember him but ho
talked In a moit familiar way and llnully
struck the sect Diary ; for $10. As Mr. Foster
took this out ot his -pocket and gave it to the
man ho looked \yynno as If to ask bow tbo
man got In there , and Wynne stopped up to
him and said :
„
"Didn't you sayithat you did not want
cither money or an ofllce and you would ( not
nslc Secretary .Foster for anything If I lot
you in I" '
The man said : ' 'You , I did , but I changed
my mind about the money utter 1 got in and
I forgot what I told you. "
"That seems ratbor thin , " said Wynne as
ho lot the man out , "and 1 can assure you
you won't got in again. "

Some of the letters stale that the writers
will vote for Wanamaker us president if ho
comes out. Hcroisono :
"Sir : I am on the warpath again , beggin'
is bettor than steeling. I think where there
Is so much wolth and prandurc among the
citbens of Washington the president and con
gressmen they might help a poor republican
from being sold out by tbo shonft for J.VJ in-
torest. I work hard every uav ns my nurvost
hands show it drink no strong drink and
make the boit of nverlhing 1 can't keep the
wolf from tbo door. Could vou sooiik a word
among the welthy and help mo u little this
spring. It may bo like broad cast upon tbo
waters when you como out for president , if
not i bopo to meat you in the kingdom. "
Itcqui'st * Tor Loans ,
Requests for loam como from everywhere
nnd they range in size from $10 up to thou
sands of dollurj. A Wisconsin man wants
&JOO to take the mortgage off bis farm , an
Ohio woman wants $ \on \ which sbo will pay
as soon as she can. A Kcntunky mother has
a bov who is In some sort of trouble with a
girl and needs money to got out of it , nnd
there are preachers and business men from
everywhere. Hero Is n letter from Oregon
from a woman who wants $500 wbich uho
will pay in three years , and hero is another
from ono of the northwestern htates asking
tor $ . ' 1,000 to lift a mortgigo from a rarm.
Many of these loiters stole that "Tho Lord
loveth a cheerful giver. " they are full of
" ( jed bless youi" und of pious cant , nnd a
grout number of them arc from professionals
who nro evidently working the world for all
it is worth and this is ono of thsir molhods ,
I would say to them , however , that it is
purely n wnsto of postazo and that such let
ters never meet the eyes of the men they nro
intended for. FIUMC CAUI-KXTCU.
The refrain of a story to which ft frlond
called the Chicago Inter-Ocean Uystandor's
attention has been rinzing In his oars for
many a day , A little girl's pious father was
wont lo comment bitterly upon the civil
things ho saw nnd hoard , alwavs ending his
denunciation with the consolatory reflection ,
"Woll.it's nonoot tnbusiness. . " Ono cold winter -
tor day tha liu'o lady was out riding In tbo
city , wrapped In fui-b and closely niuflled In
warm robes , when she saw a child of about
tier own ago scrambling along on tbo icy
pavement crying hltlcrlv Iho tears almost
freezing on her cheeks. She was very poorly
clad , having only some rugs about her foot ,
leaving Iho lees baio to snow ana frost. The
sight made a deep Improsblon on the little
one's mint ] . All any long she could talk of
nothing but the poor ragged little girl , nnd
-in her prayer before retiring she was moved
lo lay the maltor before the Lord in the fol
lowing addditlon to her accustomed nightly
petition : ,
"And , ob , Lord I saw a little girl today. It
was awful cold and there was snow in the
street , too ; but she only had on a thin ,
ragged dress and "no shoos at all. Oh , dear ,
she did look bo cold , and I dm feel so sorry
for her , but it Isn't any of our business , it it ,
GodJ Amen , "
