the lnttcr's first
admlstration, In 18G9, Ellhu "Washburn

fore Washburn, however, Grant was
nd Interim secrotary of wnr under
Johnson. Grant was so closely Identi
fied with Chicago interests at that time
that ho was claimed by Chicago.
Robert Lincoln was Becretnry of war
in tlio Garfleld nnd Arthur administra
tions and nftcrwnrd ambassador at
St James in the administration of
Benjamin Harrison.
Lyman J. Gago, n Chicago banker,
was secretary of the treasury In Mc

tions nnd was continued for a Bhort
time in the Roosevelt cabinet In 1001.
Paul Morton, a Chicago railroad of
ficial, was nppolnted secretary of the
navy by Roosevelt in 1001.
Cleveland went to Chicago In 1803
for his second secretary of state. W.
Q. Gresham being the nppolntee. Gros

the treasury and postmaster general
In the administration of Arthur, but'
was credited In both enses to Indiana.

Fuller for chief Justice of the United

Chlcngo has furnished not only cabinet
timber, but hns supplied one ambassa

The latest cabinet appointee, Frank

convention of 1894 nominnted him ns
the popular caudldato for United
States benntor from Illinois. This was
tho first time, with tho exception of
the case of John M. Palmer, that a
state couveulou In Illinois had nomi
nated a senatorial candidate. In 1890
Mr. MacVcagh supported McKlnley ns

pened several times. On one occasion
tho police kept the dog to see how it
would affect him. He whined and
moped about tho station until the po
lice turned him out. It's n police yarn,
but they declare that the dog never
stopped until he reached tho city prison
whero his owner wns doing time.
Talking about dogs, here Is a cat
story, or, to put It ns tho purist would
have It. It Is a story of twenty-one
cats, their mistress and n dressmaker
nnd 11 husband on the side. The very
day that the owner of twenty-one
blooded felines admitted n dressmnker
into her home in Boid nvenuo tho
modiste fell sick with diphtheria.

before the card
was tacked the
mistress of the
house she who
owns the cats
succeeded in get
ting nine of the
pet felines out of
the house. They are quartered on the
neighbors, for there are neighbors who
will give quarter to n cat where they
won't ullow children to coioa Into the

you are. The husband nnd nine cats
nre not allowed to go in the house; the
mistress nnd twelve cats and the
dressmaker are not allowed to go out
Meanwhile the maid came down with
the disease. The husband applied to
tho board of health for permission to
go home to sec his wife. This wns
refused. Ho asked if ho might go to
see about the cats. Tho health officer
thought the cats were all right, as the
policeman on the beat had Informed
him that the cats were receiving ab
sent treatment. The husband said
nothing, but if thought burns like
words the wholo fire department of
tho city would have been called out as
he took his departure.
Now the federal statutes have butt

of tho city, dear to so many hearts.
Unless you have been a resident of
Chlcngo at some time lit your life you
won't understand how It ever came
about that Chlcagoans of the north
and west divisions got their first ride
for nothing on the bridges that
spanned tho Chicago river at certain
points. At ono time a passenger on
a surface car six blocks from the
river would leap off the car when he
henrd the bridge bell ring for open
draw. The bell was to stop traffic
while the span was a-swlng to let a
vessel pass through. The spans were
swung by hand In those good old days.
That took a little time Tho Chi
cngoan took to his heels when the bell
rang, provided he wns in the vicinity
of the bridge, and jumped upon the
bridge, thereby getting n ride on the
swing. Strangers thought the Chi
cagoans made the rush for the bridge
because they were in a hurry to get
across the river. Nay. It was In or
der to get a ride for nothing.
Well, all this will soon be over. The
government has suddenly discovered

Unusual Experience of Tennessee Ex
ecutive In Cooper Trial.
It was a trying situation in which
the governor of Tennessee, Malcolm
Rice Patterson, found himself In con
nection with the trlnl of Colonel Dun

Edward W. Carmack. It is an un
usual thing for the governor of a
state to take the stand In a criminal
trial. This Governor Patterson did,
and the statements that had been made
as to his conuectlou with the ense
caused it to be an especially severe
ordeal for him. The governor testt
fled thnt so far from encouraging Colo
nel Cooper In his enmity to Senator
Carmack he had douo his best to get
Cooper to drop the matters at Issue be
tween them nnd had sought to pre
vent any collision between the two
men. Governor Patterson Is well l.uown

service In the halls of national legis
