"The Kembles covered five generations
of actors, the most gifted family in that
profession that the world has seen. But
the dramatic gifts do not come from the
Kemble side of the house, but from the
female line. Roger Kemble was not an
actor when he married the beautiful and
accomplished daughter of an actor named
Ward, but a hairdresser. Under his
wife's tuition and with her. companion
ship he develoed Into a fair actor, how
ever. Twelvo children were born, to tho

(HpcclM CnrrrMionitcnro.
Washington, Feb. U:). Wo nro within
10 days of the Inauguration, nnd of
course wo find littlo to talk about but
the men who are to comiioso tho new ad
ministration nnd what tho now adminis
tration may Ihj expected to do. Without
any question tho most sensational cabi
net nppotntmont mado by Mr. Cleveland
was that of Judgo Grusham to bo secre
tary of stato. Ah I said In my last letter,
Mr. Cleveland probably is tho only pres
ident wo havo had for many years, prob
nbly tho only ono since Jackson, who has
courage enough to do n thing like tllt
For two weeks the press of the country
has been full of discussion of the wisdom
of this appointment.
It would not 1m) tolling tho precise
truth to say that tho nomination of
Grcsliam was received with unalloyed
pleasure by tho old tlmo Democrats here.
Tho fact is they didn't llko it a bit. The
opinions thoy expressed in privato were
naturally much moro lurid and plctur
csquo than tho expressions thoy mndo fot
public use. Hero is what ono good old
sonator said to me nndapriucoof Dom
ocrats ho is too. "There is ono consola
tion about this selection of Grcslmm,"
ho muttered, "and that is that Gresham
is n cunsod sight bettor Democrat than
Cleveland himself." But tho next day
tho old sonator was feeling hotter over
It nnd wanted to forget that ho had been
so savngo tho night beforo. By this time
nearly all tho old Democrats who at first
woro inclined to bo very nngry alxmttho
nppointment and to "let go" in their opin
ions concerning it nro feeling much bet
ter, thank yon, nnd smiling at their own
anger.
What tho old tlmo Democrats llko less
than anything elso about tho Gresham
appointment is tho unmlstnknblo indica
tion it gives of the fact that Mr. Cleve
land proiMHCH to havo u lot of fun during
tho next four years doing just about aa ho
pleases. If you do mo tho honor to read
my letters every week and read ono
which I wrote just after election last
fall, you will remember I then said this
samo thing to wit, Mr. Cleveland was
going to bo president this timoiu his own
sweet way nnd mako up for tho tlmo ho
lost trying to please other peoplo in his
former administration. ou seo, I wns
right about that, even if I was wrong
about soino othor things.
Wo nro to havo some high old times in
Washington during tho next four years,
thatissuro. Mr. Cleveland-is going to
bo n picturesquo and interesting presi
dent, nnd wo jioor newspaper men will
bo kept busy running our legs off trying
to got nt the truth of all tho wars and ru
mors of wars and bickerings nnd con
apiracles which affect tho administration.
You renders, whothor Republicans or
Democrats, aro going to get the worth of
your money when you, buy newspjfiers
during tho next four years. But whether
Republicans or Democrats or Populists
my ndvico to you is not to get oxcited
about tho situation. Mr. Cleveland and
the senate will havo their quarrels, and
great Democrats will cry out against the
administration, ami you may ooimlucetl
to fear tho government is coming to an
cud and everything going to tho demni
tion bowwows. But they won't. Peaco
will reign again, returning as quickly as
it departed, ami tho government at
Washington will coutiuuo to live.
This Gresham outburst is quieting
down already. So is the storm of criti
cism that was raised by tho selection of
Hoko Smith for secretary of the inte
rior. In both cases tho critics aro dis
covering, in tho first place, that it doesn't
mnko much difference what they say
Mr. Cleveland goes right along aa if
nothing had happened. And they nro dis
covering, in tho second place, that both
Gresham and Smith aro good, strong
men. -It -ha s been ono of tho peculiar
ities of tho unpleasant talk about Judgo
Gresham-'a selection for secretary of
state 'that even tho "men who havo
most aavagcly denounced it on political
grounds have warmly commended Mr.
Gresham aa a man and public servant.
There is no lack of confidence anywhere
In his ability and high character.
Judge Gresham certainly is a remark
able man. He is llko a woman in some
ways. He fascinates men on first ac-
iiiatt,tnfirA TTn ilfvw it. inn. witlinui: I .
,.......... -. ."".: .7.' uiovelanu as
trying U iiu mi, wuuuui u mirnym. in mu i
world of being anything but what ho is
and of giving closo attention to tho busi
ness in hand. But he has a voice which
it is n delight to hear, eyes which many a
woman .might envy, aim a uouoerate,
cautious .way of speaking'without being
alow nt all that is very alluring. When
ho talks to a mau ho likes, he is fond of
sitting very near him and of looking him
straight in the eyo. Though as simple as
any old farmer, Judgo Gresham has an
instinct ivo courtesy, and a nover failing
courtesy; widen attracts men to him at
tho very outset. I hnvojieard Bcores of
inon say, lifter a Jurat meeting with" Judge
Gresham, that, ho had completely won
their hearts, and tho best of it Is that
when a man is.onco caught within tho
subtle mesh which this fino American
throws about all who come in contact
with him tho sjell Is rarely broken, for
be is a man who wears and who sticks
to his friends. ,
, Mr, Cleveland must have been, im
pressed in tho same munuer when he
first met Judgo. Gresham. ."That was
about a month ago. It was in Mr. Cleve
land's Now York houso. I have.it frpm
ono of Mr. Clo'vcland'a most confidential
advisers tliat.witldu'half an hour after
Gresham ad gpno away Mr. Cleveland
.said, "Thero Isn man I'd llko to havo in
my "cabinet." And now I'm going to
tell yjra another tjilng that, Mr. Clpye-
iana. kuu innwiay. a was a vuige
I don't ate that you can. aako into your
ofllulnl family n man who haa so recently
joined your party." Though not intend
ed, this remark cut .close to tho very
thing that Cleveland, at that very mo
ment had in mind, for ho had asked
Gresham to coma to HeotUlin so ho might
judgo what sort' of cabinet timber ho
wns. Gresham, not knowing this, mado
tho remark quoted nboro in t.l inno
cence. Mr. Clovoland looked down at
tho floor for fully a mlnuto for so long
a tlmo that tho situation becamo some
what embarrassing to his caller and
then ho looked up nnd replied:
"I'm not so darned certain nliout thnt."
And that wns tho first intimation, nhd
tho only ono for two weeks, that Judgo
Gresham had that Mr. Clovoland might
tender him n seat in tho cabinet.
UroHliam s opinion or uioveinnu nt a
man wns expressed to mo somo months
ago. If thero is anything in tho wot Id
tho judgo admires, it is courago, nnd ho
has Ills own quaint way of expressing
his thoughts. Of Mr. Clovoland ho said,
"What I llko about Grover is that ho U
not afraid to too tho dead lino." This is
a remark which tho friends of tho now
secretary of stato often hear from his
lips this man is not afraid to too tho
dead lino, or somo other man is afraid
to too it. Woo to tho individual who
falls within tho latter classification! Ho
nocd expect no confidence, no mercy at
tho hands of this coward hater. I sup
poso this supremo lovo of courago comei
from his fathor, who was ono of tho
most fearless men in southorn Indiana,
ami who lost his lifo trying as sheriff of
the county to arrest a gang of outlaws
who had committed ninny crimes, in
tlioso early and somewhat turbulont
days aud defied tho authorities. Not
knowing what fear was, tho older Grosh
am walked into their deu nnd endeavored
to plnco them under arrest, and thoy
shot him dead.
Judgo Gresham is not as poor a man
as somo writers havo said ho was. He is
far from being rich, but ho is worth
probably' $50,000. This is counted a
moderato fortuno In tho section of coun
try whonco ho comes tho southern part
of Indiana but of course it is a mere
bagatello in Chicago or Washington. Ho
mndo most of this money in tho last fow
years by Uvo lucky investments. Ono
wns tho purchnso of several hundred
acres of land in the rich corn belt in tho
western part of Indiana. Ho got it nt a
bargain, improved it a littlo nnd then sold
it for about three times what it cost him.
Not long ago a friend induced him to buy
n section of wild land 040 acres out
in isenraska. llo paid, l tlniiK, f'J or
$2.G0 an aero for it. Not many months
ago ho sold tho wholo tract for $30 an
ncro, which was n luqkystrlko. Thonow
secretary of stnto lives within his income
and hns always dono so.
Ho has a wife, nlso a nntivo of south
ern Indiana, who is "a born mnnnger."
Sho is n woman who not only knows how
to manage a house to make it sweet nnd
homelike, sufficiently stylish nnd yet in
oxensive, but who has plenty of social
tact nnd womanly grace. In Washing
ton society a fow years, ago, whilo her
husband was a member of tho Arthur
cabinet, she proved herself one of tho
most charming and .popular women of
tho official circle. Tho Groshnms havo
two children a young man unmarried
and in the railroad business in Indiana,
and adaughter- married and tho mother
of two fino children. ' Ono is a cherub of
a boy who bears the proud namo.Wul
ter Gresham Andrews."
I was thinking a day or .two n'go of
one of tho striking tragedies of our
everyday American lifo. This Qrosham
family, through tho vicissitudes of iol
Itics, has again como to tho front as ono
of tho most distinguished families in the
country. This is duo partly to tho abil
ity nnd character of tho husband, partly
to the tact of the wife, who has always
proved horself ablo to grow as fast as
her husband. Tho tragedy I speak of
was in a caso wnere tlio who did not
grow with tho husband. You will ro
momber rending last week of tho death
of Chief Justice Scholfield of tho Illinois
supremo- court. Ho was a groat man.
Our bar and bench havo produced few
greater men.
When Chief Justice Waito died and
Mr. Cleveland had to find a man to fill
tho vacancy on the bench of the supremo
court of tho United States, his attention
was called to Justice Scholfield. He
mado inquiries aa to this man, found
him worthy of that high post and through
a friend sent word to Scholfield that if
he would take the chief justiceship he
would recelvo the appointment. Judgo
Scholfield doclined it, greatly to tho
amazement of his friends and of Mr.
well. There woro many
surmises as to tho cause of this declina
tion. Congressman Owen Scott of Illinois a
few days ago told mo tho true story pf
the declination.' Justice Scholfield had
been his.intimato friend for many years,
and meeting tho judgo on tho cars ono
day ho asked him about the reports of
his having refused the chief justiceship.
"It is truo," replied $cholfiold, "thai
Mr. Clovoland did send word to trio that
if I would nc6opt tho chief justiceship ho
would appoint mo."'
"And why did you refnso it?" asked
Mr. Scott. "Is it nbt an 'offlcO that at-

To thoso who participated in tho dedi

Altogether it will cost in tlio neighbor

"Yea'' said tho judgo, "I consider it
tho greatest office' in tho world. 'I would
rather have it than tho' presidency Itself,
It la a post so far above mo that I never
dared even to dream' of it, much less to
aspire 'to it. But I liavo always looked
upon It aa tho summit of earthly great
ness." 'Then why did you decline?" persisted
Mr. Bcott.

who can do tho samo with that of tho

times proved a most importaut oflico.
