John E. Owens, the veteran comedian, 
died at his Baltimore home Tuesday, aged (53. 
BLATCIIFORD’S 
The late Congressman Price—or “Bill” 
Price, as a great many familiar friends called 
him—“ rafted ” logs and drove oxen in North¬ 
ern Wisconsin thirty years ago. 
The little daughter of Senator and Mrs. Van 
Wyek, now three or four years old, has an 
odd name—Happy-New-Year Van Wyck. 
She was born on the first day of the year. 
Mrs. Cleveland is a daily visitor at Oak 
View, near Washington, where her mother 
now resides, and between which and the 
White House there is telephonic communica¬ 
tion. 
Mrs. Cleveland expresses her entire ap¬ 
proval of the movement for the abolition of 
the feminine hat in the theatre, and says that 
she will be among the first to observe “a usage 
that unites good sense and good ton." 
“Cousin Ben" Folsom, the new Consul at 
Sheffield (when he gets there), is spoken of as 
a nice young man with a soft, brown beard 
and mustache, and a dove-like, hazel eye. 
His dress shows a tendency towards dudish- 
ness. 
Mrs. Eliza Wilcox, the child of an adopt¬ 
ed son of President Jackson, is now a clerk in 
the Treasury Department. She was born in 
the White House, ami was a baby when the 
Treasury Department building was dedicated. 
A lock of her hail' was placed in the corner¬ 
stone. 
Ubeziah Slayton, of Fayette County, Ga., 
is the father of so many children that he can- 
uot remember their names. He has been mar¬ 
ried twice and bad eighteen children by one 
wife and twelve by the other. He had five 
sons in one company of a Georgia regiment 
during the war. 
Congressman McKinley, of Ohio, quotes 
Congressman Hewitt as saying that “there 
never was a President who had such a double- 
riveted title ns Hayes—not merely the title of 
an election, but the title of having had that 
election examined judicially aud then award¬ 
ed to him." McKinley was an officer in 
Hayes's regiment during the war. 
(rovEUNOR Seay, of Alabama, is getting 
much sharp criticism from the Southern press 
for saying, in his inaugural address, that he 
“questioned the wisdom of erecting monu¬ 
ment-, in commemoration of civil strife,” and 
“emphatically opposed any expenditure by 
the State for a monument to the dead until 
the wants of the needy survivors should be 
cured for.” 
Chief-Justice Watte of the United States 
Supreme Court reached his Tilth birthday last 
Monday,aud is now eligible for retirement nit¬ 
on a pension of $10,(XX) u year. He is still vig¬ 
orous, however, with no api a rent intention of 
retiring. Justices Field. Miller and Bradley 
are also eligible for retirement upon full pay, 
but uoue has expressed a desire to leave the 
bench. 
COL. John S. Mosby has in his possession 
the last letter of Gen. Grant. It was dictated 
t he day before he died, and was addressed to 
(lov. Stanford, asking his influence to secure 
Col. Mostly a position in California which 
would help him to enter on the practice of 
law. This letter was the means of obtaining 
an appointment as counsel for the Southern 
Pacific Railroad, which Mosby still holds. 
The late John E. Owens, the actor, sympa¬ 
thized with the South during the war, but 
was one of the first men in Baltimore to be 
drafted for service in the Union army He 
was appearing in Washington, when a tele¬ 
graph notified him of this fact. His part that 
night was an old man’s. Turning to the audi¬ 
ence on the opening of the act following when 
he received the notice, he drew his coat tight¬ 
ly around him and got off the pun: “There’s 
a draft around here,but it ain’t from the right 
side.” 
The West once furnished two Senators in 
Congress who were father and son—Senator 
Dodge of Wisconsin and his sou. Senator 
Dodge of Iowa, serving at the same time. Si¬ 
mon Cameron stepped out of his scat in the 
Senate to permit his son Don to step in, aud 
three generations of Bayards have served con¬ 
secutively in the Seuate. To-day Senator 
Voorhees is in the Senate chamber, and his son 
in the House as a delegate from Washington 
Territory.
