I10\V \ THE PRESIDENT TRAVELS Comforts Provided and Precautions Taken for the Safety of the Executive , PRESIDENT M'KINLEY ' AS A TRAVELER Itccnril of Some of IIn ! I'rcimrnMnitn AlntiK MIR llond- Knlliirc of the Projrct to llullil a Suculnl Trnln. George Washington was the orlglnM trav eling president and In his day It was no small undertaking to got about the country. Ho sot an example for his successors by tryIng - Ing to become acquainted with the country nnd Its people between the sessions of con gress. Two summers ho spent In his prl- vnto carriage , going Into Now Kngland nnd through the south to achieve this object. It Is only In recent years that presidential Journeying has been made spectacular. The earllur presidents could travel about with- DUt 'being ' mobbed. Jackson nnd Taylor walked the streets of Wanhlngton nnd EcnRcr agent , though on n different line. Ho declined the Invitation of another roatl to take the president's train east , through loyalty to his own people. And then the gen eral passenger agent made him pay the full first-class rate for hauling the president's special. H was repaid to him later and that Is about as near as a president of the United States has come to paying fare In a long time. When President Cleveland made his first trip west ho paid faro for himself and all the members of his party. The Interstate commerce law had Just gene Into effect and ho was afraid of being criticised for violat ing It. Hut the nvo or six first-class tick ets which his secretary bought did not pay for the fine special train that no used. Hauling the president's special Is nn ex pensive undertaking. On most roads It moans side-tracking all other business for the time. One of the big coal railroads once put every freight car on side tracks because the president was going over the lino. Another road sido-traeked hundreds of cars of grain and live stock nnd left the track clear between the beginning and end of the president's Journey. As an addi tional precaution a pilot engine Is sent n'hcad ' of the president's train to sec that the track Is safo. To arrange the schedules for a prealdcn- \ AS WASHINGTON TRAVELED WHILE PRESIDENT stopped to chat with a friend llko any other citizen and when they traveled no one thought of standing gazing at them or of forcing himself upon them for a handshake. Then the president of the United States could travel as simply and as unostenta tiously as ho pleased. Now ho goes In a special train and the band at every cross roads ntatlon plays "Hall to the Chief" her ribly. There was only one president who had a private car. That was Lincoln , the man above all others who was simple in his tastes. It was not a very fine affair. Today It would not lie used for second-class traffic. All the other presidents have traveled in private cars offered for their use by railroad companies or sleeping car companies. Just after the election of President Mc- Klnley some railroad men got together and planned n special car for the president which was to bo finer than that of Queen Victoria's. It was to be built throughout of natlvo products and the blending of native woods In Its decoration was to suggest every section of the country. All the material waste to bo contributed and the labor was to tie done In. the railroad shops. This scheme was BO attractive that presently It expanded Into a. plan for an entire train for the pres ident's UEO , to he an appanage of the ex ecutive olHce , not 'Mr. McKlnley's prl- vato property. The olnborated plan pro vided for a ba&ptago car to contain a dynamo for heating and lighting the other cars , a sleeping conch for the president's secre tary and clerks nnd a special car for the president and his guests.As planned the president's car was to he sixty-nine feet six Inches long , or fifteen and one-half feet longer than Queen Victoria's , while Its width 'was to bo nlno feet eight Inches. Atone ono end was to bo the Icltchen and quarters for cook nnd porter. 'A salon In the ralddlo of the oar , two bed rooms , a bath room and an observation room were also In the plans. Nothing has been done toward building th ! train and the project seems to have fallen through. So the president In his outIngs - Ings will use other persons' cars as most ol his predecessors have dono. riiylnw for Hie Janrnry. Sleeping car companies put at the dis posal of the president their finest cars and railroad ofllcers tender the use of their private coaches , because as they go about the country they are a peripatetic advertise ment for railroad nnd sleeping car com panies , and either ono would ho very glad , If It were necessary , to pay something for the privilege of carrying the chief magis trate. Only ono railroad man disagrees with this proposition so far as Is known. Ho was the general passenger agent of a line run ning east from St. Louis when President Harrison visited that city. The railroad man 'Who was managing the trips was allied with the same Interests aa the general pas- riAKRIED HAPPINESS Is dependent upon the health of the wife more than on any other one thing. If a woman Is troubled in a distinctly feminine way the most delicate nerves of her body are in a state of chronic irritation. She has headache and back ache. She is listless and spiritless. She is crosi and blue. She feels that life is not worth living and her te in per reflects the condition of her nerves. Poor , suffering wife poor , dis tracted husband. If the husband is a cheerful , good - humored man he will sympathize If he is nervous , tired and irritable himself , he will probably go off to the club or seek elsewhere more con- Kenlal company. A sick woman is to be pitied because ehe is miserable and because she has not yet learned that Dr. Picrcc's Kavorite Pre scription will make her well The "Favorite Prescription" was de- velpped over thirty years ago in the reg ular practice of Dr. H. V. Pierce who is and was then , chief consult ing physician to the Inva lids' Hotel nnd Surgical Insti tute , at lltif. falo , N. Y. Since then it _ has been used by millions of women and has brought health , happiness and contentment to as many homes. " My wife was sick for over eight years , " writes Albert H. 1'ullc , Ksq. , of Altamout , Oruntly Co. , Tcuti. " She had uterine dUraic and was treated by two ptiy > ldau and got uo relief. At last I read about Dr , fierce' * 1'avoritc I'rcscriptlon , I tent to the drug ( tore , cot one bottle and the fii > v lo c cave ea > e and sleep. She had not slept Buy for three nlghU. Deiug ture that it would cure lier I neiit fur five more bottle * and when the had taken the sixth bottle die was * ound and well.Va now have a fine boy at our house. " The " Favorite Prescription " contains no alcohol and no opium or other narcotic , and is perfectly harmless iu any condition ef tlal Journey Is no small undertaking. George \V. Doyd has done more of this than ho could nr- any other railroad man and range to talto the president safely around the world on forty-eight hours' notice. When the president wants to make a long Journey he usually calls Mr. Boytl In for consultation as nn expert. CMr. Bo yd looks up the regular schedules of all the roads to bo covered and calculates the running tlmo of their trains. Ho has to balance every thing with great nicety so as not to bring the president to a big city nt 2 In the morning or land him at a terminal without provision for continuing the Journey on some other line. When he has mapped out the trips 'he ' telegraphs the officials of all the railroads to ask If they can pick the president's train up nt this point at that tlmo and take it through to the other sta tion at such an hour. This schedule In cludes all the Important stops , with an al lowance of flvo or ten minutes for each daylight station on the route. When the railroads agree to the schedule It U finally delivered to the president. You see , the president personally has very little voice In the matter. He must pass EXPATRIATED DUIdlOBORTSl' ' Hon.

PERSECUTED IN THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY I'rimilflcfl nf n Ilnnir , I'rro from Mo- Ivntiitlmi , mill the Illicit ! to lie * lluvc ill They IMonmo , IlrliiK 7,000 to Cnnniln. Hon. Peter Janscn of Jan. en , Neb. , re turned to his homo yesterday from a trip to Manitoba , whcro ho has spent the last two weeks In visiting the settlement of Uukho- bortel at Yorkton , about 300 miles west of Winnipeg. Mr. Jansen went there for the purpose of Inducing some of these new settlers to como to Nebraska to work In the beet fields or to engage in raising 'beets on their own account. In this , however , ho was unsuccessful , because they are so com fortably situated and the Canadian govern ment lias made them such Haltering prom ises , which have been In a measure fulfilled , that ho could offer no Inducement for them to transfer their allegiance to this country. Mr. Janecn found a village of tents , con taining 7,000 men , women and children , who had left their homes In Uurclu that they might find a place where they can worship their Creator In any manner they please , and without having the tcrriblo possibility of being deported to Siberia constantly hanging over their heads. Of these 7,000 souls there are a number who have sons In the bleak Siberian steppes , 150 In all being exiles in that bleak region. The Uukhobortsl correspond to the Quak ers or Friends of this country. They exist as a separate community , making their otfn clothing and living In a simple , provident manner that wins the admiration of all who lecome acquainted with them. They are non-combntants In belief , do not make oath , contenting themselves with a nltnplo alllrma- tlon , and they do not drink or smoke. They are neat In their dress , exceptionally cleanly In every -way , nnd lead an exemplary life. While unsuccessful In his attempt to bring some of these new settlers here , ( Mr. Jansen says ho hopes that others may be brought over from their native land , which has persecuted them so long. Concerning his trip and these people Mr. Jensen said : "Ever slnco the Immigration of those per secuted Christians , the Dukhobortsl of Hus- sla , commenced It had been my desire to visit these , my former countrymen , and en couraged to do so by a recent letter from my dear friend , William Harvey of Leeds , Eng land , I left my homo In Nebraska Juno 6 , reaching Winnipeg , the capital of Manitoba , on the. Sth. I was very kindly received there by Mr. William iHespcler , who had visited my father's homo In South Russia In 1S72 , and through whoso Instrumentality the set tlement of our people , the Mennonltos , took place In southern Manitoba. "Mr. Hespeler Introduced me to Mr. Wil liam Baker , general manager of the Mani toba & Northwest railway , and Mr. Mc- Creary , the commissioner of Immigration , and through the courtesy or these gentlemen my trip was greatly facilitated. "Tho nearest place of settlement of the Dukhobortsi was Yorkton , which I reached late Saturday evening , June 10 , where I was met by Mme. Carousa , a Russian lady of nobre birth , who had accompanied the last contingent of these people from the Isle of Cyprus , and also by several of the leaders of the Dukhobortsl. "I spoke to them In their own language and they seemed very glad to learn that I came from their own country. "Although so far north , Sunday morning dawned 'bright ' and warm and the city of tents.

Public sentiment demands thnt ho stop for flvo minutes here nnd for half nn hour there. net ween these stops the speed capacity of. the railroad must bo con sidered nnd the president seldom travels at the highest fate for fear of accident. At the end of the route the president has to go through a program of speechmaklng nnd dining nnd sight-seeing arranged for him by the local committee. I'rcsldont Harrison and President Cleveland - land ulways'took newspaper correspondents with them on their Journeys. President McKlnley so far has refused to do so and his secretaries have made up a report of tlio Incidents of the trip to be given to the press , with copies of the president's speeches at the largo cltlos where the president's tniln stops. The speeches are not pre pared , except for Important occasions. The president has his own stenographer take note of what he says In his Im promptu speeches and then carefully re vises the manuscript. All this business Is handled for him by Ills private secretary , Gcorgo n. Cortclyou , who always accom panies him. The president chooses the members of his party. With the exception of the train crew every man or woman aboard la his guost. Ono feature of the expense of the Journey the president usually pays for. It Is the provisioning of Ills car. It Is no small part of the cost of n trip , for In much of the sparsely settled western country through v > lilch President McKlnley must necessarily pass on his next trip he will breakfast and ill no on the train. It Is a matter of prldo with the car cook to put nn elaborate meal before the president three times a day , so when tlio car Is stocked the best of everything Is taken aboard. Hut even that Is not a very serious expense to a man who lives rent-frco on a salary of 150,000 a year. The I'roillKnl Son In Afrlcn.

"They are n most cleanly , God-fearing people and by the help of God will not only make homes for themselves , but will form a most desirable contingent of this vast northwcfit territory. "I had always entertained fears that they had gene beyond the limits of successful agriculture , but after thorough Investiga tion and talks with settlers who have lived In that vicinity from ten to sixteen years I am glad to say that I believe they will be able , beyond a doubt , to grow necessities of life , and more. They have plenty of timber for fuel and buildings. In fact , I am convinced that , although wo should be glad to have them In the otates , wo never could have offered them the opportunities and in ducements which the open lands of the Canadian northwest and the government of that country have- given them. Mr , Mc- Creary , the Immigration commissioner , Is a man of rare judgment and great executive ability , and Is taking special Interest In these people , and the lands reserved for them are Bald to bo the very best In the territory. They will not bo able to raise much of n crop this year , as the land has to bo broken first , but they have planted tnmo grain , potatoes and other vegetables. How ever , they will have to bo taken care of tea a largo extent during next winter , und wo must all unite In doing so , lies Ides pro viding food , their chief needs are animals for work , milch cows and sheep for wool. "Uased upon my own experiences gained In the days of our own early settlement. I have strongly advised to provide them with oxen for draught animals , Instead of horses , the former not requiring any grain for food , but doing the work of breaking the prairie upon the abundant nutritious grasses , be sides being much cheaper than horses. "In the meantime they are willing to work whenever they can and ono party has taken a contract of constructing some of tbo roadbed for a railroad extension and has In that way earned some money. "In my conversation with them I tried to Impress upon them the necessity of con forming with the ways of the country as far as the mode of work and agriculture U concerned. I'lltllPllO IlK'llIl-lltH , "Some most pathetic Incidents occurred ; during my visit amongst them. I aiked an old pleasant-featured man , adresslng him , as Is the custom In IliiFola , as 'Mttlo Father. ' 'Do you think you will be able to get along In your new home ? ' I asked. Ho looked up , and tbo faith which was In him was depicted upon his face nnd IIP answered : "The God who has selected this land for ui , where we can worship Him ac-corJlng to the dictates of our consciences , will cer tainly not let us starve. ' "Tho tears were- hard to keep back when an old mother came nnd said , 'I hftvo two sons who wcro deported to Siberia because they would not s rvo In the army nnd I am hero alone , and I will ask the blessings of Cod ! upon thco day and night If thee will bring ttiem over to me. ' "Others have fathers , husbands or near relatives there , In nil some hundred and fifty , and I think wo must make It our earnest duty to bring about a release of thcso poor unfortunates. I believe If the governments of England and the United States will take this up In a friendly man ner with the government of Russia this can bo brought about , as there Is no sense In keeping these few In exllo when the others have been permitted to depart. Ail ApH'nl | to tinPreMlileitt "Knowing President McKlnley personally and believing his kindly heart will prompt htm to act , wo shall lay this matter before him , nnd I trust his English friends will use their Influence with their own gov ernment. "As I said before , these people make a most pleasing Impression upon even the casual observer nnd were commented upon favorably by everybody who has seen them. Mr. Crearcr , the local Immigration agent at Yorktown , who , by the way , Is the right man In the right place , told mo that they had even scrubbed out the cars which brought them before sending tliom back. "They have built n bath house of logs , after the Russian fashion , whcro they take their regular steam baths after their custom. "Having been robbed by the Russian offi cials for years , they are still naturally suspi cious and can hardly believe that anybody Is willing to servo them without a selfish motive. "I was sorry not to bo able to meet Cap tain St. John , who , I understand , Is devoting himself to them. "Upon my return to Winnipeg I had the pleasure of meeting friends , William Evans nnd Joseph S. Elklnton of Philadelphia , who had como out on a similar mission as my own. With them was Prlnco Holkoffwho has also devoted his life to his persecuted countrymen. Wo spent some pleasant'and , I hope , profitable hours together consulting upon the best ways and means to help this cause , nnd also agreeing upon a course of action In regard to the unfortunate ones In Siberia , These dear friends left the next morning for Yorkton , while I went to south ern 'Manitoba ' , where a largo and prosperous settlement of our people , the Russian Men- nonltes , Is located. They have prospects of a very bountiful harvest , and In case this materializes they have promised to give a number of Dukhobortsl work , which will not only enable them to earn some money , but will also give them an opportunity to learn something about Canadian farming. "I believe the Lord will take care of these , 'His ' children , but we who believe In the Prlnco of Peace should bo willing to act as His servants. " A PLEA FOR THE POET , \Vhy Me Chafes Under the Regulations of j Educational Institutions. LINCOLN , Neb. , Juno 0. To the Editor of The Dee : Yesterday morning I heard the commencement address , and It has set me a thinking. Cyrus Northrop , president of the Minnesota university , was the speaker ; so of course the production was scholarly. He took for his subject : "Tho Education Which Our Country Needs , " and ho touched upon one phase of the great theme In such a way as to make mo want to hear that particular part of It treated more elaborately. I refer to a movement which has been evolving for years and which may -termed as the many elbowing the few. The man of Imagination meets with disparagement on every hand. Institutions of Instruction that should feel an honor in promoting his well- being have turned against him. Rubbed perpetually with bare and acrid facts , the mind of the dreamer Is no longer sensitive to an that is dainty and most delicate. His brain has taken on the thick veneer of book callous and scientific corns. The drowsy dew odor of the morning Is now lost to him , for his nose has scraped so much against the Latin syntax and Hebrew roots that In his nostrils lingers the stale smell of printer's ink and mouldy paper. Even through the graded schools the In oculation of damnation has taken effect. Forced to memorize useless definitions and vicious formulas , a child soon forgets Ills fairyland of the heavens and learns readily enough to distinguish a cloud only as be longing to a certain category. And some times when he Is roused from sleep by the moist freshness .of the wakening day , and the oat-stacks of n distant field are lllae- hued , half-veiled In the dim mist vagaries of the dawn ; when the violet darkness has been frightened away by the soft luminary of morning , and a rose-orange glow comes quiv ering Into pink across the cloud-ocean of the sky , then the little one turns to behold , and falls Immediately to classifying as with a definite convocation of diagrams and dotted lines. And this blossoming marvel ol nature's Infinite love brooms not for him. And the tragedy of si life has begun. A soul has ceased to see. Yes , this Is certainly the commencement of that training which his college educa tion will complete. If ho gains any sort of standing at the university it is because his attention will bo devoted exclusively to the work proscribed. With his ambition set upon winning a mode ] , or upon an elec tion to the Phi Heta Kappa , he can have little space for gratuitous meditation or for the relaxation of his faculties. Ho is urged on by every possible means to extreme dlll- gcnco and Is constantly upon a. tension. To work , to apply one's self , to labor in many fields with dogged determination , that Is the grand idoa. Hcnre , specialization Is against the law and originality Is unknown. What with doing well all that one Is supposed to do. when Is a man to find tlmo for individual reflection ? His studies being perpetually hurried , continually a strain , exhaust an Infinite deal of energy which might bo con tributed to the particular branch of learn ing for which ho has most aptitude. If ho have imagination , that most precious of gifts , It Is permitted no greater develop ment than any other faculty. And so this dlvinest of powers Is not taken Into account , this creative essence of the mind , this master architect of thought without which logic Is folly and science a farce. Nay , more : It frequently Is killed outright ; for fancy Is the warm and dell- cato ( lower which withers under the cold breath of more learning as some sweet blossom under the Icy blast of winter. Look how the botanist hurries through the luminous fields , stopping hero and there to root up some strange plant. On every hand Is the nodding of the pop ples In the sheen and shimmer of midsum mer tlmo. The lilies drowse under a great fall of quivering light. And amid this slumbering - boring silence of noonday , now laden with the langor and suny fragrance of earth and flowers , sounds faintly the hushed hum of some persistent bee in a rosebud by the pathway. Hut the botanist hurries through the luml- nous fields , stopping hero and there to grub up a strange plant. Oh , the shame , the pity of it ! For might not this man , at some time , have been able to see and comprehend such loveliness ? Might he not , at some time , have been able to feel this Sabbath Indolence of Nature ? Perhaps not ; perhaps ho might never have understood. All the more reason , then , that the few who can understand such things should understand them to tbo fuflest do- Breo.

And if ho exert not his intellect as diligently as others , If he Is not a good student , if , In a. word , ho should bo unable to pass examinations , Is that cause enough why ho should not bo tolerated In the class room ? Because a man refuses to follow In the path of the orthodox , does It argue that ho may not dip Into books and skim them over to excellent purpose ? And so If the dreamer takes It Into his head to write a bit of verso that may have to do with philosophy , why should not the doors of the Fecturo room be open to him ? Why , Indeed , should not the college , like the world without , bo ever his resource ? When the novelist chooses to utilize the snake- charmer of the circus as a character for his romance , ho studies her In his own peculiar way without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth. Ho selects only such details as will meet his own re quirements. It therefore would seem as Ira- pertinent to demand that the poet take a complete course in philosophy as to require that the novelist take a complete course in the charming of wakes. If the regulators of reaming could only remain idle long enough to consider things , even they might como to the conclusion that perhaps , after all , the verse-maker might In Eomo way or other get along very well in his verse-mak ing without writing a thesis upon sensations. I cnce heard of a college that granted ono student a fellowship In English , although that student had never memorized Spenccr'u definition of life. I have never fathomed how this could have como about ; maybe It was because the student admitted that llfo was precisely what Spencer said It was a definite combination of heterogeneous changes , both simultaneous and successive , In correspondence with external co-cxlstenco and sequence. Also , poor Spencer ! If dead now , God rest his Intellect. Ho must have Buffered atrociously If ho lived that kind of a life. Yes , indeed , the poet must keep his mind reserved for impressions of the picturesque and the beautiful , of things vital , tlilugs that are holy. Ho therefore should bo careful to make his memory neither a junk shop for a lumber of long words nor a second-hand Btoi-o for dusty Ideas. Hut If he go to college - certain necessary flavor of lego to gain a books how , under llio present regime , Is ho to do It ? The bcnlficent authorities of the university , the most gracious , the high and the mighty , with wondrous wisdom in their looks , decide , after duo deliberation , that If such a student como properly pro vided with a lilgh school diploma he may of course bo permitted to work ! They do not ascertain If ho have Imagination ; they seek In no way to find out the natural bent of his mind. If ho bo more fitted for one thing than for another , why that 1 no fault of theirs ! And they assume that all are allko and will not consider the Indi vidual. So at times a college becomes the green house that would propagate a violet until It becomes a rose. The musician groans under a burden of mathematics. The aes thete of sensitive nostril labors In the lab oratory , stilled , suffocated , surrounded by the steTicli of nauseous chemicals. Enough , then , of Implacable , require ments ! Let there bo exceptions. And since much learning , In frequent cases , becomes n barrier between the Intellect and the soul , let us not urge too great a diligence In this matter of books. Let not the mirror of the mind bo so abused with knowledge that It cease to reilrct the beauties of a llvo and palpitating world. When this has como to pass , then will the Idler bo respected as the student of nightly vigils ; then will It bo understood that duty Is not of more benefit than pleas ure , and then will people comprehend that In opening the eye to all which Is most sweet and most lovable In life is a de light upon earth and a Joy up In heaven. And until then the dreamer will go his way , despised by the dogmatic , sneered at by the scholars , nut his fancy will retouch with tender tones the rudeness of his fel lows. And ho will seek out the picturesque and bo moved by the dainty nnd the grace ful. ful.And And at times ho will wander to some fa- \ored spot to remain under the night-magic of'moonlight , lost under a Hood of poetry ; .oured from heaven upon the earlli.
