"Do you want to see old Sam. Tilden?'
The question came from friend OF mine
who was just on the point of driving down
to Gramercy Park to show q span OF horses
to Mr.. Tilden. 1t is very hard thing to get
sight of tho old man nowadays. He is now
in the hands of his friends, who are groom"
ing him for q presidential candidate The
scheme is TO keep the old man out of sight
deceive the country about his condition, dis
claim all presidential aspirations or inten-
tons, and finally spring him upon the Demo-
cratic convention.
"If YOU want to see the old man." said my
friend, Jump in and ride down there. l
have an appointment with him ats O'Clock"
In ten minutes we were at Mr. Tilden's
house. or rather at his two houses Mr.. Til
den has built two red stone houses exactly
alike and side by side. Each house has a
separate street entrance, but they are con-
nected by door cut through the center wall.
These houses are worth about $50, 600 apiece
They could be built i'll Chicago or ST. Louis
for $50, 900 apiece.
At O'Clock my friend rang Mr. Tlden's
door-bell. The servantcame to the door and
said:
eyes, O'Clock is the time, but the old man
has just fallen asleep"
Cant you wake him up?" asked my
friend.
mo; we have orders not to wake him when
he falls asleep" said the servant.
Just then Mr.. Watterson came in. With
the utmost Difference Mr. Watterson sat down
to wait for Uncle Sam to wake mp. In about
ten minutes, during which time Mr.. Waiter
son sat with his hat defereutiGlly in hand,
the old man tottered into the room, rubbing
his eyes with his right hand. After whisper
ing on Mr.. Watterson's ear-pan for five min
utes, in the most secret manner the latter
got up and left while Mr.. Tilden shuffied
along to the front door to look at the horses.

man simply scraped one foot after the other.

BISHOP PINcKNEY, who died on Wednesday,
was born at Annapolis, Md, and graduated at
ST. Johns College, in that city. In early life he
studied law but finally turned his thoughts to
the ministry, and in 1886 became rector of St.
Andrews parish, Somerset county, Maryland.
Two years later he took charge of st. Matthews
parish, at Bladensburg, where he remained
seventeen years and until he was called to AS
cension Church, in Washington. In 1870 he
was elected assistant bishop Of Maryland while
Bishop Nottingham held the seat. In 1879, on
the death OF Bishop Nottingham, he succeeded
to the position. His administration of the
affairs of the diocese was marked by decision
and determination, though he ruled
in kindly spirit He was a decided
low church man, and in this was the opposite
OF Bishop Nottingham, but was in harmony

THE Louisville Courier-Journal has come
to the conclusion that the next Presidential
contest will be decided by New York and
Ohio. 1t says the Democracy can win with
either State without Indiana. This is tanta-
mount to notice to Mr. Mcdonald that his
boom is shelved. This article takes on special
significance from the fact that Mr.. Watterson
has been eating and sleeping with Mr.. Tilden
for some time. The eyes of the Democratic
party will be turned toward the State of Ohio

Der election, and then, possibly and probably,
