Several Years, Became ; Friends Again Through the -Effort of Elkins. " I recently told in this column the .story of the manner in which General Grant and James G. Blaine met at the Long Branch railway station at the time of the funeral of President Gar field, rode in the same carriage to the house of national mourning, were seated almost side by side at the fu neral and yet absolutely ignored the presence each of the other. There was not the slightest sign of recognition or even the most formal or cold court esy exchanged between them. Only a few of the politicians of the eighties knew that General Grant and James G. Blaine had by tacit under standing agreed absolutely to ignore the presence of each other whenever they chanced to meet. To these know ing ones the presumption was' that the breaking of all relations between the two men was due to the fact that the friends of Blaine prevented the third presidential nomination of Grant at Chicago in 1880 and the friends of Grant prevented the nomi nation of Blaine at the time. The es trangement of the two men at the time of the Garfield funeral was so complete that no one thought of a reconciliation between them. Yet less than two years later these two distinguished Republicans were brought together and spent an hour or more in resuming the cordial relations which had existed between them when James G. Blaine was speaker of the house of representatives and Ulysses S. Grant was president of the United States. I am sure that the story of this reconciliation and the manner in which It was brought about have never been publicly told; in fact, very few of the Intimate friends of either Grant or Blaine knew, until after Grant's death, in 1885, that cordial relations had been re-established. Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia, who recently died while a member of the United States 'Senate, was one of the very few prominent Republicans who maintained a dose personal inti macy with both Grant and Blaine during the period of their personal es trangement. Mr. Elktns used some times to say to his friends that noth ing was a source of greater sorrow to him than the fact that these two warm friends of his had become absolutely alienated. Some time In the latter part of the year 1882, or it may have been early In 1883, Mr. Elkins became persuaded that both Grant and Blaine would be glad if a way could be found by which they could be brought into pleasant relations once more. Mr. Elkins said to a member of General Garfield's offl- cial family: Price He Paid for Vanity Ophlr Farm, Ben Holllday's Magnifi cent Country Estate, Got Its San guine Builder Into All Kinds of Legal Trouble. In the midwinter of 1881, I spent a part of an evening with Ben Holliday in the library of his home on K street, Washington. Though once he had been wealthy, Mr. Holliday was at that time in financial reverses, and it seemed to me that be was also something of an invalid. I could not realize, as I sat chatting with him, that he had been at one time the most famous of Ameri can expressmen, that he had organ ized, and in a sensational manner, the Holliday Pony express, by which mails and passengers were first carried over land from the Missouri valley to the Pacific slope before the building of the Pacific railroad; and that he had also racinc rauroaa; ana mat ne naa aisu organized ; and put In operation the . ....j ,o &iciicai 11 Ctrl cutis 1. w 10c ctcouici a that then sailed, or has sailed since probably,' along the Pacific coast from Alaska to southern California Mr. Holliday had taken up a tem porary residence in Washington for the Purpose, of securing a congression- al appropriation in payment of very large claims which he had established for service for the federal government to maintain a postal line between the Missouri valley and the Pacific coasts I asked Mr. Holliday If the delays he was meeting with in securing acknowl edgment of his claims had affected his health; or if he were recovering from a temporary illness. There came Into my host's eyes a momentary flash of the power and de termination which were characteris tic of Ben Holliday when he estab lished his overland mail and passenger stage service, the very line that had so many encounters , with the Indians and the buffalo herds! "No," he said, "you have to wait a j long time sometimes, if you are going f Piaim Daid by tho mvommonf The government of the United States is the worst debtor and the harshest creditor in the world. Of course, the government pays its fixed obligations, ke Interest upon bonds; but It is a caster hand at staving off just debts.' tnew that and was prepared for it, Hill By E. J. EDWARDS "1 am sure that General Grant would rejoice if he could make it up with Blaine, . and I am certain that Blaine has grieved greatly over the misunderstanding which has interrupt ed the friendship long maintained with Grant. I am going to bring those two men together, although I don't know exactly how to do it," v "Why don't you invite them to dine with you?" Elkins was asked. MNo, that wouldn't do,"' was the re ply. "Each man would suspect that the other had put me up to that. 1 think there is a little pride that stands in the way of their reconcilia tion." A few days later Mr. Elkins said that he had given the matter much thought and he was satisfied that the only way to bring about the reconcilia tion was to cause Blaine and Grant to meet as though by pure chance. It was evident to Elkins' confidant that Elkins was planning already what would appear to be an accidental, un expected meeting between Grant and Blaine. A day or two later Mr. El kins appeared before his confidant again, and he was as radiant as a child. Hamlet Traditions Violated Fechter Made His Blond, Tree Beard ed and Fat and Mansfield Dressed the Melancholy Dane in Red Velvet. How should tbe character of Ham let be portrayed upon the stage? That is a question that has been a more or less bothersome one ever since Shake speare's day. The traditional Hamlet te a dark haired, dark-skinned, black-robed fel low, lean of body and smooth of Jowl and chin. Yet there have been sev eral instances of striking stage varia tions from this presentation. Recently I told the story o bow Charles Fechter, who won a great reputation as an actor, first ra France, then in England and finally la this ccmntry, where he came in 1870, was led to portray Hamlet as a blond through the hearty support and ap proval of his good friend, Charles Dickens. Fechter's argument was that the Danes have always been a light hatred, fair-skinned people, therefore, Hamlet was of that type; and Dickens agreed thoroughly with Fechter, whose blond Hamlet created a great furor both in this country and la England!, where Fechter first played the part In the sixties. While Fechter's is the most note- worthy blond Hamlet in the history of the American stage, perhaps Beer- is one thing that I have done, bow ever, that has come nearer to break ing me down physically than any oth er thing I have done in my entire business career. I am paying now for a little vanity." Mr. Holliday stopped for a moment, looked at me with penetrating and inquiring glance, and then asked: "I suppose you have heard of the Ophir mine?" Of course, I had heard of that mine and the stories of its fabulous rich ness; it was a California mine which Mr. Holliday i had . owned, but which brought him '.'.-.financial, disaster, after promising for a time to be a producer of wonderful riches, hence its name. "Well," said he, "I thought the mine was going to make me rich as Croes us; and I determined to spend some of my wealth in building a great cas tle in the center of the greatest pri vate park owned by any American citizen up to that time. I bought a great tract of land, several thousand acres, lying between White Plains, Westchester county, New York, and the Connecticut' state line. Upon it I built the finest castle that had up to that time been erected in the United States. I entertained people just as the owners of great estates in England do. I called the place Ophir Farm, and there was a great deal of talk about it in the papers. It stood me in about a million and a half; and it and the Ophir mine got me into all kinds of trouble. There were lawsuits and foreclosure proceedings, and that was about all I got out of an attempt to gratify a little personal vanity. If I get my claims paid by the government, I may be able to hold on to it." A year or two later, announcement was made in the- newspapers that Whitelaw Reid, the editor of the New York Tribune, who in 1881 had mar ried a daughter of D. O. Mills, had bought Ophir Farm, and that It was to be his country home. It is Mr. Reid's country home to, this day; and since his purchase of Ophir Farm there have been entertainments in it which sur passed In ; splendor and In the illus trious . character of the guests any of the great entertainments given there by Ben Holliday, who died In the late eighties, when he had. owned It. T1 tV "T sm thA hannifisttnan in Wash ington," he cried. "I ' left Grant and Blaine yesterday afternoon sitting, side by side, 5 engaged in - the most kindly and familiar conversation. You know,. Grant came' to Washington a few days ago." You may; know - that Blaine . for, some . time now has .been occupied with getting together ma terial for the book which he intends to write, a sort of reminiscence of his life as a member of congress. Those two incidents-grant's ; arrival and Blaine's book gave me the hint for the meeting." : 'v'.;; . Elkins was asked how he accom plished the meeting so that neither Blaine nor Grant would be suspicious of his intervention. "No, no, I shall never tell that; those two men must never suspect that they met except by accident," El kins declared with great positiveness. "If I should tell -It to one person how, they "met I should be likely to tell it to another, and that would spoil the incident." ' , " . And so far as I know Elkins never told to anyone bow he brought about the meeting between Blaine and Grant a meeting that resulted In per fect reconciliation, so that from that day forth, until the death of General Grant, the two remained fast friends. (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) bohm Tree's takes second place In that respect. Tree, when he came to study the part, accepted Fechter's conception of the physical appearance of Hamlet as the correct one, and ac corded Fechter high praise for ven turing to portray Hamlet as a blond, against all stage traditions. Bot," said Mri Tree, at the tmo of hfs visit to this country, about twenty years ago, T went somewhat further in my presentation of Hamlet than Fecbter did. While carefully studying the play, I discovered that Shakespeare depicts Hamlet as having worn a beard, and a beard I therefore added to nty make-up." "But, Mi. Tree, where does Shake speare give Hamlet a beard?" one of his auditors asked. "I refer you to these lines in tbe second scene of the second act of the play, where Hamlet is speakurg; said Mr. Tree: "'Am I a coward? Who1 calls me a villain? Breaks my pate across? Plucks off my beard And blows It In my face?' "I also felt that I was Justified In following Shakespeare's delineation by making- up Hamlet as a fat man," continued Mr. Tree. "Fechter dtcf not have to do that, for he was very r pulent at the time he began to play Hamlet. Pterhaps you recall the lfne spoken by the queen of Hamlet ta the second scene of act five: "'He's fat and scant o? breath." Beerbohm Tree, however, .-in. play ing Hamlet wore the conventional black costume. But not so Richard Mansfield1, who thereby made one of the most striking departures from the conventional Hamlet in tlie history of the English-speaking stage. Mr. Wil liam T. Tait, who is a high authority on dramatic presentations to this country, in speaking to mo- of Mans field's Hamlet said: "I think, after all, that the most daring and absolutely unique portrayal of the personal characteristics of Ham let was that which the late Richard Mansfield ventured to make. Mansfield was familiar with . tbe his tory of Denmark and wfth the cus toms of the Danish people. He was born within sight of the peninsula of Denmark. He was a very high au thority upon Danish history. And it was in accordance with the historical fact that he dressed his Hamlet in red velvet. "Of course, it caused a great deal of criticism, to which Mansfield simply replied that he had been faithful to history, since red velvet was the color and material with which , the royal family of Denmark up. to the sixteenth century garbed themselves when In mourning. . However, a Hamlet dressed in red velvety true though it may have been historically, did not seem to American audiencesN so appropriate for Hamlet as the dark velvet cos tume usually worn; and I am sure that Mansfield, who was a stickler for historical accuracy, was greatly disap pointed thereby, though outwardly he may have shown characteristic disdain for the public's opinion."

MUSSELLMAN. i of Philadelphia TEXT How often shall my, brother sin against me and I forgive him? Matt XVIII, 21. What is it to be a Christian? It Is to possess the spirit of Jesus. Jesus was ; greater than the things he . did. Every Christian must be greater than the things he does. I am a Christian in so far "as I possess the spirit of Christ. I do not possess it complete ly. ; If I did, I would be a second Christ. I cannot possess the spirit of Christ completaly. But I am a Chris tian in so far as I possess this spirit of Christ. ." . What was the spirit of Christ? I must seek to have the mind of Jesus. In the first piace, Jesus Christ pos sessed the spirit-of trust. He never was afraid. Then the first thing In Christian spirit is trust. There were nights when l;e wtnt out. under the eastern stars and gazed up at the cerulean blue and talked , to God in prayer. Yet even in the garden of Gethsemane as he prayed, "Father; fi it be possible let this cup pass from my lips' he was not afraid. It was his heavenly Father's world. A man is a Christian insofar as he possesses the spirit of trust. Why should we be afraid in this world, when "the heavens declare the glory of God?" It is : God's world. When calamities come they should not dismay. I am not sure that even God could develop us into the kind of characters he wants us to be without ; the aid of trouble. Jesus Christ also possessed the spirit of trust in men. He felt that people are worth while. "Let him who has not sinned 'cast the first stone." Tbfs petty jealousy, this crooking the finger of scorn, this lack of trust and faith in men, is almost as bad as tie lack of trust in God. Christ possessed the spirit of ii finite pity, and I, too. If I am to be ai Christian, must possess the spirit of pity. He came to? save the lost and' his gmtt heart went out In yearning pity for all humanity. Even as he sat and looked at Jerusalem, the city which was to crucify him, he said, "O, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gatheretir her brood!, but you would not," even then lovercame with com passion. Without pity Christianity is defective You may get to heaven. I am not bothering7 so much about heaven. It is the now I am concerned about. God will take care of heaven. I am a Christian and you are a Christian insofar as we possess the spirit of forgiveness. EVery man who is worth anything makes some ene mies. We have ample opportunity to display the spirit of forgiveness. Look how injustice came to Jesus. They said he performed hfs works because he was a devil, and! see how he met it. With the great spirit of forgiveness,-and when, he had "tost out," as the world said, but had succeeded in a greater manner, he offered up the prayer of forgiveness on the cross, saying, "Father, forgive them; they know not what thejr do" His great heart broke with compassion and for giveness. I dotft care Jberw much you have been sinned against, you cannot afford to have any other hurt. the spirit of forgiveness. If I am a Christian "i possess the spirit of love;. The very climax of the acts that make up human life is the touch of affection. Only as I love men can I have the power over men. If a man finds that my heart beats atune with him he opens his heart to me. As we possess the spirit of love we are Christians. "Though I speak with the tongues of pen and of angels, and have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." In my humble Judgment, much of the talk that eemes from pulpits and plat forms fails to inspire the hearers with the determination to live nobler be cause there is not that current of love. . A .Christfan is one who renders the humble service of Christ and possesses the spirit of Jesus. Are there per fect Christians? No. If there 'were there would be so many Christs. There are no perfect Christians. We are all simply partial Christians, and for this reason we ought to be kindly disposed to the shortcomings of others. ChHst the Light and Life. It is said that the sweetest side of any fruit is the side which grows toward the sun. There is no doubt that the sun has a great deal to do with the beauty and flav6r of the fruits which are the delight of man. In this casual observation, as in ; so many facts from nature, rests a beau tiful spiritual lesson for us all. .What the sun is to the natural world, that, and much more, is Christ to the world of spiritual things. As the sun influ ences the fruits of the earth, giving them beauty and lusclousness; so Christ sheds an influence ? over the lives of-many and gives them beauty of character and purity of heart. And as the sweetest side of a fruit is the side toward the sun, so the best side of man Is the side toward Christ - An Active Nothing. The origin of sin is hid in mys tery. Its home is in the darkness. Nobody knows from whence it comes. Tesus . never mentioned the subject Some affirm that there is no such rhing as sin. If so, sin is a very r Ivg r.othing. Rev. II, "E.
