AngiOmania in Names of Hotels and
places.

['Caspar's" Letter in Detroit Free Press.1
BY the way, the Anglomania epidemic
keeps right on. notice that The Free Press
in late alusion to it mentions the names of
some New York hotels by way Of illustration.
Only four are named, though, while the list
could he made quite long. Besides the Wind
sor, the Westminster, etc, we have the st.
James, the Victoria, the Wellington, the
Buckingham, the Imperial and many more
with names which tell the same story. In.
deed if the names of the hotels were the guide,
New York might as readily be taken for an
English city as an American. And the NAM
ing of the French flats, too--heres the most
ridiculous incongruity Of all Builders put
up great barracks which they called French
fats, and then give them English names.
They are not doing quite SO much now, be-
cause the names are giving out, but the up
per part of the city is dotted all over with
flats bearing foreign names, as inappropriate
in New York as American Indian names
would be in England.
A wild sort of satire on the whole silly
business may be seen in the lower part of the
Bowery, where large number of dives
and other resorts of the baser elements dupi-
cate the mSh-toned English names given to
hotels and flats. The only New York theatre
with a distinctively English name, the Wind
sor, was in the Bowery, and the worst of the
Bowery, at that. 1t would be there still if
big fire had not swept it away few weeks
ago.
Another symptom Of the Auglomania dis.
ease is seen in the names given to places
Along the Hudson for instance we have
Hastings-on-Hu lson, IrvingIon-on- Hudson,
FShkill-on-Hudson, Bath-on-Hudson, New.
burg-on-Hudson, and so on all the way from
New York to Albany. "On-Hudson," you
see, suggests the English "On- Thames" and
gives a sort Of aristocratic flavor. 1t may
he some time before the disease runs its
course. 1t is not really dangerous to life,
but its effect in producing imbecility is so
serious that an increase in the number Of
idiot asyums may soon be necessary

"No; we are not hiring any tall brakemen
now. Might give you place in some other
department, but not at the brakes. Tall
brakemen are not bad things to have when
one goes in for style, but they are too ex
pensive for this road.'
That's the answer that will be given to the
next six-footer from the country who wants
to so braking on the great cannon-ball route.
The Wabash legal department is always
teaching the other departments of the road
some new kink in the way of handling cars,
and now the fiat has been issued, 'The tall
brakeman must CO."
The altitudinous man Of the wheel is the
victim of peculiar circumstances. 1t was in
the summer of 1882 that man named Brad
ley was loading logs in flat-car on a side
track at Kelly's station in Wabash county,
Ind. A freight came along with one car
about foot higher than freight-cars usually
are. On the centre roof-board of this car
stood gay and festive brakeman six feet
three inches high, being nine inches higher
than the average knight Of tue wheel.
Across the track were some telegraph wires,
the lowest of which hung about foot lower
than such wires usually do On this particu.
lar occasion the law of general average went
into temporary retirement.
The low telegraph wire caught the tall
brakeman under the chin. The brakeman
didn't give way, but the insulator ON the
cross-tree Of the first telegraph pole did, and
so did several other non-conductors. In
few seconds there was a large amount Of
loose telegraph wire following the train and
Mr. Bradley being then and there engaged in
the laudable labor of loading logs, was en-
tangled in the wiry mesh, which pulled him
under the wheels Of the train, so that he was
compelled to close the circuit of his days. He
didn't leave any widow, but he left seven
small children, mostly twins, and now the
Wabash legal department is studying to see
how far proof of wide variation from the
law of averages will help them to defend a
$4,000 suit

Keep the Mind in Discipline.

["Gath's" New York Letter.
George w. Cable last night declared it to
be mistake for any writer to wait for in
spiration. Some of the best books were written
without thought of publication. Writing is
the refiner of thought Therefore he encour-
aged writing in the form Of diaries, letters,
etc, always keeping in mind the true motive
discipline, and the best work that one can
do, remembering that to be the true artist
one must first be the true amateur, checking
the selfshness that will crop out by cultivat-
Ing the self-denial Of the true artist. Mr..
Gable explained the remarks that it is not
true that the profession Of literature requires
diploma Shakespeare was not university
bred. Of the thirty or thirty five conspicuous
imaginative writers only five or six were
men of thorough collegiate training. What
then9 Is learning inimical to lteraturei I'M
possible. Yet the facts show that this art
can not he taught, although it may bs
learned, and is really for the common human
heart.

Story OF u Fancy Head"
boston letter.


Pardon the telling of an incident from
private life, which is certainlysdroll enough
to be worth repeating A certain gentleman,
whose fortune has been made in railroad
stocks, whose name is familiar all over the
country, and who has a snowy establishment
not ten miles from Boston, took unto himself
to console the loneliness of brief widow
erhood a second wife, one of Chicago's fair
daughters Mrs. A., a lady of the neighbour
hood went to call upon the bride, and in
lapse of the rather dragging conversation
made some casual remark upon an oil paint
ing of female head hanging upon the par
lor wall as it a portrait Of one of your
husbands familyl' she asked. 81 seem to see
faint likeness" swell, not exactly one of
his family" the hostess replied. at was
picture of his first wife once, but it wasn't
very good likeness, SO we had the eyes
changed and feather put in the hair, and

SUNDAY IN CHIHUAHUA.
The Mexican sabbath Time OF Rec
reatiOn and Amusement--.Once to
Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.l

Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.l
Sunday in Chihuahua Is holiday, time
OF rest and amusement The shops are open
only for a few hours, the plaza is con-
stantly filled with strolling or Longing peo-
pie, and in the suburbs, or on the Alameda
leading there, one sees crowds OF gayly
dressed and happy citizens out for days en-
joymont. Early in the morning mass is held
at the cathedral, which faces the plaza, and
during the day the bells of that time-stained,
but still beautiful building, are ringing clam
orously for the people to come into its dim re-
ce5seS and worship. But once Mexican has
been - a mass or service, he seems to feel
that his peacs is made and that the rest OF
the day is his to enjoy. If there is bull
fight, he goes to it, or if an entertainment Is
offered he is ready for it.
About the only ones who seemed to take no
rest are the small traders who have stands in
the market place. | never went into that
walled Enclosure, where piles of every imag-
Unable complexion are presided over by
Shouting dealers, without finding good deal
Of trading going on. There is never any
large amount of anything bought and few
tlacos suffice to buy the meat and vegetables
OF q whole family But the smaller the pur-
chase the greater, apparently, the work Of
buying, and from early morning until late at
night there is a perfect pandemonium OF
noises and much hustle and confusion.
1t is on Sunday that the military band
from the barracks comes into the public
square and gives sweet music, and just at
slnlown, while the music is being given, the
people who have been out Of the city for a
ride or drive come back to town and range
their carriages and horses near the fountain
ami listen to the music or have little gossip
with their friends At such an hour Chihua-
hua looks her best, and the little plaza, with
its trees and green grass, its flowers and
fountain, and with the tall facale Of the
cathedral rising near by, is full OF life and
movement. With Spanish salutatons heard
on all sides and in the soft and balmy air, one
can easily imagine himself in Spain, and the
black-eyad senoras and senoritas and the
Notwithstanding men all help to increase
the illusion.

Tic Arah and His Horse.

can almost see them now as have seen
them many day in Africa, standing on the
desert where their master had dismounted,
with their heads thrown down, their beauti-
full eyes half C osed, their large nostrils SO
wide that you could run your hand up them,
thin and p4lpitating their forms so atten-
uated that you could see the action Of their
lungs, their legs wide spread-rather ugly
looking animals, In a moment their rider
leaps on their back and the whole horse
changes He raises his heal proudly, tossing
his long name to the wind, his eyes CLEAN
with LIE ana pride, and every motion indi-
Gates the keenest joy.
Everybody Knows that they are the best
horses in the world, and the reason of that is
the marvellous care and love which the Arab
beStows on them. He never uses bit or brace.
A slender silken cord tied round their head is
bride sufficient. He never bitches his horse
i have seen 500 of them in one OF their grand
bazars, ali standing together with their heads
down waiting for their riders. When one of
those riders wanted his horse he would only
whistle for him, and the horse would proudly
prance out from among the rest The ARAB
continually talks to his horse in the low, soft,
musical mOnosyllables of their tongue. They
are silent race, but they make their horses
their confidants They eat and sleep AMI
fight on horseback The affection between
the horse and the rider is something We cam
not understand. l never knew one of them
to sell bis horse. They would starve to death
first.
1t is marvellous how these men learn shoot
on horseback You will see horsecome sweep
ing down on the camp with terrific speed,
without rider apparently. Presently you will
see long rifle CLEAN over the horses ears, and
inamoment you hear the sharpreport of gun,
and the man at your side has been shot. Then
an Arab will straighten up on the horse and
dash away like a whirlwind. Pursuit would
be verse than useless This is the way they
fight. They never have pitched battles, They
always come tearing down like mountain
torrent, but if they find an attack hazardous
they discharge volley and retreat, Most of
their lighting is done at night.

last of an orchard set out by the first settlers
IN that neighborhood and which is reckoned
to be 1S6 years old. Mr.. Hotchkiss, who is in
his SD year, has known and owned it for
nearly half a century, and when he was
boy he told the writer that he heard his
grandmother say that while in her early girl
hood she used to play under its then broad
and sheltering branches The body Of tho
tree is four feet in diameter up to point
where the limbs branch, of which there are
five main branches, each of which is nearly
two feet in diameter. It's height Is sixty
feet, and from its outermost branches apples
falling perpendicularly lilo upon the ground
six rods apart. Mr. Hotchkiss informed mo
that he had picked up and measured 12S
