AND THE PRESIDENT Disclosures of the Causes of Lamont's Pepe-'1 larity as Private Secretary. ’ Secretary of War Lamont was with Mr. Cleveland When he Was Governor of New - ‘ " 3 York, and he was a legislative corres-' pondent before he became private Secre- tary. When Mr. Cleveland came dov‘vn- from Buffalo to Albany to be installed as Governor he had not selected 'his private secretary and he asked Daniel Manning to suggest some young man'who knew all about the Legislature and the State departments. Lamont worked upon Mr. Manning’s newspaper and was one of his favorites. He recommended the young reporter and Mr. Cleveland told Manning to send Lamont to the Executive Mansion. That was way back in 1882, and no man since then has been closer to Mr. Cleve< land than Lamont. Lamont went all through the State with Mr. Cleveland in 1884, and the information he picked up on this trip made him invaluable to the President when he came to Washington. The politicians who visited the White House marveled at Lamont’s memory for names and incidents, but no one suspected how the shrewd private secretary kept, himself posted and prepared for surprises. Lamont kept a scrap-book at Albany and picked up newspaper clippings describing the Governor’s reception at the various cities included in the campaign itiner‘ ary. All this came in handy when the New Yorkers hurried to Washington to hunt for patronage. Lamont’s method of receiving the call- ers was decidedly unique. He sat in the same room now occupied by Thurber. Suppose Mr. Smith, of Watertowu,’ was the caller admitted. Mr. Lamont didn’t know Mr. Smith from a. side ' of solo It began in about this way: “So you are Mr. Smith, of Watertown. I thought your face was familiar. Just take a seat until I can tell the President that you are here." 01f would go Lamont to the President’s room, down would come the scrap book, and the Clippings describing the Gov- ernor’s reception at \Vatertown would be hastily scanned. Mr. Smith may have been on the platform, and, of course, the local paper hadn’t overlooked this fact. Possibly Mr. Smith had pinned a badge of the Democratic Roarers on the Gover- nor’s lapel or had handed the Governor a glass of water while‘ he was speaking. Lamont would get all these facts and de- tail them to the President. Lamont would then go to’the outer room and usher in Mr. Smith. Then the second step in the Lamont method would be taken by the President, who would greet Mr. Smith in about this style: “Why, my old friend Smith, of VVater- town, as I live. Sit down and make your- self at home. Do you know that I have the badge of the Democratic Roarers you pinned on me at the big meeting. Smith, do you know I would have choked that night if you hadn’t been thoughtful enough to hand me that glass of water?” Lamont had given the President the names of other men at that great \Vater— town meeting, and, of course, Mr. Cleve- land would inquire ull about Bill Brown ’ and the rest. Then Smith would venture to suggest what he was after, and Lamont would duly note it. Smith would go home with a long story, and in many cases that was all Smith realized from his \Vashing. ton trip. But the beautiful effect of the Lamont method was just this: Smith, if unsuccessful, was convinced that the President would have given him the office if some unforeseen circumstance hadn’t prevented it. Lamont’s scrap book contained the names of about every politician in the State of New York, and some information about the prominence of each one in his home district. That scrap book was the basis of Lamont’s great reputation as a private secretary. IN A SARATOGA TRUNK. A Pennsylvania \Voman Escapes Justice in the Depths of One. Mrs. Ada Hamlin, alias Burt, may not be a model for her sex in the more im- portant details of character, but she has won renown by exhibiting a certain shrewdness and agility which in them- selves were admirable. Mrs. Hamlin, while she lived iu Alle- gheny, was engaged in the occupation of selling whiskey. This seems scarcely a womanly profession, and in her case it was not ‘a lawful one, for she sold with- out alicense and to minors. For these offences she was arrested, but having a good neighbor, a lady who perhaps had enjoyed her potations, she was bailed out. Thereupon she promptly disappeared, greatly to the regret of, her friend. She went to Pittsburg, where she was traced. Being of a. cautious disposition, however, she escaped arrest forsome time. Finally an alderman and two constables came over from Allegheny and discovered ' her: hiding place. They demanded an en»- trance in the name of the law, but when' they got in Miss Hamlim had disap“ peared. They searched thoroughly, but the dealer in spirituous liquors was not to be found. They were disgusted, but they went back by and by and repeated their fruitless search. Mrs. Hamlin, in the security of a. SaratOga trunk, laughed softly at their unavailing efforts. Under the very eyes of the Constables and detectives an expressman carried the trunk downstairs, dumped it roughly into his wagon and drove off. In a remote corner of the city where he had been ordered to deliver it, he set it on the pavement, a friend unlocked it, and the adventurous Mrs. Hamlin stepped forth. She has successfully eluded the officers ever since and has left the place Where she once flourished, going to more congenial regions further West. Sqelched.
