Lament's flrat Masting WUh Orsrsr Clays land. N««Ym% 8m. "The late Colonel Daniel S. La moot Died tq relate most amusingly to his intimate friends.” said Colonel J. E. Jones, "how it came about that he first met Grover Cleveland after Cleveland had been elected governor of New York. "Lamont was then s reporter on Albany Argos, which was controlled by Daniel Manning, and he bad little idea of being anything else for a long time to come. Grover Cleveland had only a limited acquaintance with tbc leaders of bis party throughout the State at that time, and though be had not yet been inaugurated, he was being deluged with letters from all over the State, filled with all sorts of suggestions, making all sorts of demands and calculated to make the days and nights un pleasant for one with the little experience in politics that Cleve land then bad. "Bat those letters bed to be answered, and as they piled up before him day by day, Cleve land saw the necessity of hav ing some one who knew. State politics and politicians to help him oat of the muddle. He wrote to Dan Manning and told I.:_1 iL. Urn —mm • 'For heaven’s take.' he wrote, ‘tend, tome one to help me?" ’ "Dan Lamont entered the Argna office aa Manning waa reading Cleveland's letter, and . when be had finished reading he looked np and saw' Lamont. He pondered a moment and then aaid: " 'Dan, 1 shouldn't wonder if yon might be able to help Cleveland ont in this. Suppose , yon ran np to Buffalo and try it.' "Manning handed Lamont the letter. Lamont read ft and said: M ‘All right. When shall I . go?" ‘ “Better go right along,' aaid Manning. “So Lamont packed hia grip .—'and it didn't take mnen of a grip to carry all I bad in those < days.’ Lamont yaed to say, in telling about it—and took the fitst train for Buffalo. It, waa late in the evening when he arrived there, but he thought he bad better report to the gov ernor before going to a hotel, ao he had biraadt guided to where Cleveland waa keeping bachelor duarters, over a store or some thing. Lamont knocked at the door. “'Come ini' aside vigorous voice. “Colonel Lamont and bis handbag went in. The gover nor-elect was sitting at a table. Letter* opened and unopened were piled and scattered about tbs floor and littered the table, while their recipient was plainly working" hard to get them in shape for anaweriag, bin coat off «uu hiv i uncu up. "Ha glanced itxjuinngly up u Lamont entered the room. “Mr. Manning teat me Irom Albany, in raaponea to your let* ter, to aee whether I could be of any service toyem,1 said Lamont, by way ol introduction. 'VColoue! Lamont uaad to any that Cleveland'■ (ace brightened, and he rooa and ehook bands heartily with hi. vUltor. “ 'Sit down,' aald he, I m v mighty glad you’re come.' "Laoont eat down, aod they chatted awhile. Then Lamont . • ‘Wall, governor, 1 gneaa I'll h* foiaff now to hunt up • . place to atey. What time aball |.eSS."SS^ . ~"‘M • In the morning)’ exclaimed Cleveland, looking aurprUed • You’re not going to bogie '< ■{ •' • • . v 0 work at all in the morning. You're going to begin right now.' "Now, Larnont was tired and hungry and sleepy. He kept the tired and sleepy part to him self, however, but admitted to to the governor that he was hungry, and said he would go out and get a bite of something before starting in with the busi ness io hand. " 'Entirely unnecessary, re plied Cleveland. ‘I can feed you right here.' "And Dan said the governor bustled around and soon had a good enough spread of cold victuals and a nice enp of hot coffee, the latter made on the stove in the room, ready for Dan to pitch in and eat and driok, Cleveland taking a snack him self, to keep company, The meal finished, the governor hastily cleared the table. * ‘Now,’ said he, let's get to work.' . "They went to Aork, and from Larnont's knowledge and ex perience and training in the matters to be attended to he was able by half-past one in the morning to get anch a good nf ne^ae t aka mass and bad outlined such practical plana for facilitating the work that the governor said he guested they could spire the rest of the night for sleeping. He had a bed for Lamont, and when Lamont turned in he asked what time be should get np in the morning. “ ‘Ob, never mind that,' said Cleveland, 'I will call you.1 “As the late secretary used to say, he went to bed so tired that his head had hardly touched the pillow before he was asleep. He knew nothing further nntil he was awakened by a noise in the adjoining room. He rose in bed ana listened. **He heard the stove being shaken down vigorously and the rattle of coal being put on, and recognised the voice of the gov ernor, who waa doing the shak ing down sad coaling up, hum ™nh the then new and popnlai son*, When fhe Robins Nest Ann. ‘Lamont looked at his watch. It waa just 4 o’clock I The gov ernor was up getting breakfast ready, preparatory to the begin ning of work for the day. ‘‘Lamont didn’t wait to be called, hot got right up then and dressed himself and reported U the governor, who was plainly pleased with the staying and re cuperatlng qualities of bis young lieutenant. “The system that Lamont pul into the work of straightening out that tangled maaa of coma poodence and ia a remarkably abort time getting it moving ii easy and proper channels favor ably Impressed Grover Cleve land. At any rate, that ia tin way, so Lamont used to say that be apd Grover Cleveland first met.

Health sod Hospital Service, la charge oi government relief maasares la Louisiana, which answers the question if yellow fever Is trans mitted in other ways than by tbs deadly mosquito. The letter is an interesting one, sod we prim it in full: ' "Dear Sir:—Referring to yom letter of the 2Mb, requesting an reasons for not considering it necessary to disinfect freight oi any character, I have to say that these reasons fall under several beads. “I assume that everybody knows the fact that yellow fever is transmitted solely by the mos quito. from one man to another men. We must, therefore, consider whether os not, our infected mosquito is likely to become aa inhabitant or passenger in freight parcels. The particular moaqnito tnms> mittiog this disease is one of the moat easily destructible of these iaaects. being killed by a very slight pressure, ia freight parcels of aay sort, a mosquito ia a boa would aa questionably be cangbt and crashed during the jostfinghi transit. Again, remember that freight packages originate ie warehouses sod factories, which places are aot the habitats at sick people, and the infected mosqaito will therefore aot b« found in each places. * It ia a conceivable fact, that a moaqnito from a sick room might drift into the street, bul the habit of tbit moaqnito, in ac doing, ia to seek the first clems water to lay its eggs apd the* die. It ia extreasely improbable that she will take up her abodi ; in a place of business (ware bouse or factory) rather than to : seek a congenial pool of clear water to deposit her eggs ia ac cordance with nature's proviaka in her case. Referring to more spccia cases, namely commodities and ' as coffee, sugar, rice ia bagging I have to aay, not aa a matter o 1 opinion, bat of real knowledge 1 that such articles as these abova will ia the very handling ahso lately annihilate any mosquito which may have sought refugi in the crevices of the bagging ; The weight and shifting charac . ter of a bag of coffee or saga . la au absolute guarantee of tb< - destruction of this little insect ' the first time such a beg i j thrown to the Boor of a car o roughly bandied on a track.
