ANEcDorE OF OAKLEY HALL.-Apropos of the
mysterious disappearance of ex-Mayor Hall, the
New York Times tells this anecdote: ain almost
every sense Mr.. Hall was remarkable man.
He was versatile to the last degree, and had
special taste for mimicry. Few individuals
whether in out of Office, had greater stock
of anecdote narrated them more fppantly.
While Mayor, he used to tell ludicrous story
of how he treated q chronic office seeker Said
he: went to the funeral of a city official in q
Filth avenue church short time ago, and while
the religious ceremonies in progress, q fellow
who used to haunt me to get place kept me I'M
der surveillance. The lanented departed's place
was in my gift. When rerched the avenue, af-
ter the services were over, the fellow, who be-
then being removed to the hearse, and said sMr.
Mayor, should like to get his place. looked
at him smilingly, and replied: MY dear boy,
have no power over his place, you must ask the
sexton for it,"

Selling Liquor to Minors.
lSentence of Three Chicago Dealers by Ju,
Readin0l

ISentence of Three Chicago Dealers by Judge
Reading.l
By the law you may sell to men and
women, if they will buy. You have
given your bond, and paid your license
to sell to them, and no one has a right
to modest you in your legal business.
No matter what the consequences NAV
be, no matter what poverty and desti-
tuition are produced by your selling ac-
cording to law, you have paid your
money for this privilege, and you are
licensed to pursue your calling. No
matter what families are distracted and
rendered miserable; no matter what
wives are treated with violence what
children starve or mourn over the
degradation of parent, your business
is legallzed, and no one may interfere
with you In it. No matter what moth
Ell may agoniZe over the loss of son,
or sister blush at the shame of broth
er, you have Il right to disregard them
all and pursue your legal calling-you
are licensed You may fit up your
lawful place of business in the most en-
ticing and captivating form you may
furnish 1t with the most costly and ele-
CANT equipments for YOUR lawful trade :
you may fill it with the allurements of
amusement; you may use all your arts
to induce visitors; you may skillfully
arrange and expose to view your chOic-
est wines and most captivating bevera-
ges you may then induce thirst by all
contrivances to produce raging appe-
tite for drink, and then you may supply
that appetite to the full, because it is
lawful you have paid for it-you have
license.
You may allow boys, almost children,
to frequent your saloon they may wit
ness the apparent satisfaction with
which their seniors quaff the spark ling
glass you may be schooling and train
ing them for the period of 81, when
they, too, can participate, for all this is
lawful. YOu may hold the cup to THEN
very lips, but You must not let them
drink-that is unlawful. But while you
have all these privileges for money you
pay, this poor privilege of selling to
children is denied you. Here parents
have the right to say, Leave nay son
to me until the law gives You right
to destroy him" Do not anticipate
that terrible moment when | can assert
for him no further rights of protection
That will be soon enough for me, fol

and for the community to see him take
his road to death. Give him to us in
his childhood at least. Let US. have 4
few years of his youth, in which we ear
enjoy his innocence, to repay us in some
small degree for the care and love we
have lavished upon him. This is some
thing you who now stand prisoners al

embraced in your license.
For this offense, the court sentence.

deed have become, even professedly,
Christians.
Mr.. Rosenberg told us that if a Jew
became Christian, he lost not only
the sympathy and recognition of his
people, but also all employment and
every means of support. That even
the nominal Christians of the country
were so associated with the Jews in
business relations that they would with
draw their support from one who be-
came a Christian. SO it happens that
if a Jew is baptised he is thrown on
the hands of the missionary for sup
port, which he is not often in condi-
tion to do, even if it were wise.
Mr.. r. assured us however, that there
were many more Jewish Christians
than most people were aware of, and
the leason he gave for their remaining
in Obscurity seemed very obvious
one: While all Jews are one distinct
nationality, since the dispersion from
Jerusalem they have adopted another
and are today either Spanish or Ger
man or English Jews. Now if a Jew
becomes a Christian, as there is no
church organization among his own
people he naturally becomes absorbed
in his adopted nationality and is lost
to the world as Il Jew. Mr.. Rosenberg
said that he had baptized three
or four but they had all gone He
spends his time, with his helper, in
convelsing with the people and dis
tributing books and tracts. They find

respectful hearing, but get little more
encouragement.
Adrianople was once IA station of the
American Board, but there are now no
American Missionaries there.
We were there over Sunday and af-
tel some search found the Protestant
chapel where Pastor Muggerditch, an
Armenian, breaches in Turkish to a
mixed congregation of about 100, COM
posed of Armenians, Bulgarians and
| Greeks. He seemed an earnest man
and appeared to be doing good work
among his people. His sermon the
morning we were there was from Ex.
32:l. The audience seemed interested,
or at least they paid good attention,
and were apparently quite respectable.
The church consists of some forty
members and is partially self-support-
ing, being under the direction of the

Writing for the Press.

Amateur writers for the press will
find these hints from the Burlington
Hawkeye simply invaluable:
"Never write with pen or ink. 1t is
altogether too plain, and doesn't hold
the mind of the editorand printers close
ly enough to their work.
'lf you are compelled to use ink,
never use that vulgarity known as the
blotting pad. If you drop blot Of ink
on the paper, lick it off. The intelli-
gent compOsitOr loves nothing so dearly
us to read through the smear this will
make across twenty or thirty words.
We have seen him hang over such a
piece of copy half an hour, swearing
like pirate all the time, he felt that
good.
"Don't try to write too plainly. 1t is
sign of plebeian origin and public
school breeding Poor writing is an in
dicatiOn of genius. It's about the only
Indication of genius that great many
men possess. Sprawl your article with
your eyes shut and make every word as
lllegible as you can. We get the same
price for it from the rag man as though
it were covered with copper plate SEN
tences. Avoid all painstaking with
proper names. We know the full name
of every man, woman and child in the
United States, and the merest hint of
the name is sufficient. 1t is a great
mistake that proper names should be
written plainly.
"Always write on both sides of the
paper, and when you have filled both
sides of every page trail line up and
down every margin and back to the
top of the first page, closing your arti-
Gle by writing the signature just above
the date. How we do love to get hold
of articles written in this style And
how we would like to get hold of the
man who sends them. Just for ten
minutes. Alone. In the woods, with a
cannon in our hip pocket"

He Paid It.

The keeper of boarding house when
Andrew jackson was President, waited
on him one day and implanted that Il
Tennesseean, who had been appointed
by him TO clerkship in one of the de-
partments, would not pay board bill.
Get his note" said old Hickory, ''fOr
the full amount, interest included, pay
able in sixty days, and bring it to me-
THAT will he of no use" replied the
clearinghouse keeper, "for he never
pays his notes." "Do as tell You sir. '
said jackson, as he turned away.
The next day the boarding house
keeper reappeared at the White House
and handed the note to the President
He took it, read it, wrote "Andrew
jackson" across the back in his we'll
known autograph, and handed it back,
saying: "Take that TO the Bank of the
Metropolis and tell them from me that
at its maturity it will be paid by either
the drawer or the endorser. They will
discount it for you"
A few days afterward the man who
had given the note, met his creditor and
tauntingly said ''Well, don't suppose
you have been able to negotiate my pa
per? ?" Eyes" replied the boarding
house keeper, 81 had no trouble in GET
ting it discounted at legal rates of in

essean. ''The Bank of the Metropolis
discounted the one you gave me, upon
the assurance that if you did not pay it,.
the endorser weuld." 'EBut who would
endorse my note ?" "Gen. jackson,
and he sent word TO the bank, that if
you did not pay the note, he would

Another Mathematical Prodigy.

"Talk about your lightning calcula-
tors !" said Mr.. Wilson 'here is I3-
year-Old boy who is simply the mathe-
matical wonder of the age" Peering
over the top of the low desk was the
head of a little hunchback, in whose
Large brown eyes was look of intelli-
gence far beyond his years. He said
that his name was Solomon Stone that
he was born in Austria in 1864, and that
he was brought to this country when a
baby by his father and mother, who
settled in Texas. They lived in various
towns of that state, his father at one
time keeping store i'll Houston. About
four years ago his father died, and his
mother brought him to this city. He
received two years schooling on Wards
island, where he developed his extra
ordinary aptitude for mathematics. He
solved the most difficult problems in
mental arithmetic with an ease seldom,
if ever, attained by old professional ac-
countants. About two years ago his
mother went to London, leaving the
boy here. Thrown upon his own re-
sources, he has since then earned his
living by selling matches. He now

his bills with praiseworthy punctuality
''How many columns of figures can You
multiply together, mentally 2" "Seven,
but prefer not to- go beyond six; more
than that hurts my head" Two rows
of six figures each were given him. His
little lips began moving, and before a
rapid accountant with pencil and paper
could work out the product he correctly
answered it. Another and another prob
lem were given to him and solved with
like readiness. He then made his men
tai calculation aloud. He reverses the
