(which class Of cabs do you believe more
popular the hanson or the herdics?''
That is according to the weather. In
pleasant weather the hanson cab is more
popular In wet weather the herdic does the
best business. The entrance to the herdic is,
you know, at the rear, and the driver backs
his cab to the sidewalk, opens his door, and
YOU step from your door into it with only
the width of the sidewalk. TO get into the
hanson, however, you have to walk around
to the side. So on "A rainy day the herdic
cab is more popular. Its seats, however. run
lengthw1Se, while those of the hansOme are
crosswise: so that you ride in the hanson
facing toward the front, while in the herdic
you face toward the side of the vehicle.
The consequence is that in ordinary
weather the hanson cab is more popular"

will see perhaps dozen different sorts of We
hicles OF this class for hire. They may be
divided however, into two classes, the han
som" cab and the "herdic" cab. These two
classes refer to the twO-wheeled vehicles.
OF course there are large number of vehi-
cles on four wheels. but the designation
"cab" seems to apply altogether to those on
two wheels.
"There has been great effort in the past
few years said the manager of one OF these
cab systems here, talking to your CORE
spondent, Ito make vehicles on two
wheels which should meet all the re-
Quirements of ordinary vehicles and
yet be cheap and easily handled The re-
suit has been great variety OF these two
wheeled affairs We have half dozen mod
ifications of the 'heTdic' cab and nearly as
many styles of the hanson, which, as you
know, is the old London street cab"
"Are these cabs used AZ much in other
cities as in Washington
'NO, not nearly so much. The streets Of
Washington are especially fitted for them.
These two-wheeled vehicles are very bad on
the horses, except on very smooth streets.
The vehicle which has two wheels OF course
is more affected by rough roads, and when
one OF the wheels strikes an obstacle the eff
feet is felt by the horse. The result is that
cabs are horse killers. Take the first lot OF
hanson cabs that came to this town. The
OwnerS put good horses into them-horses
that cost $500 or $500, but it was not six
months until the horses were wern out and
broken down. Experience has taught us
that with the best cab we can get horse

TALMAGE AND SAM JONES.
The Brooklyn Man Goes "a Hundred Miles to
Hear the ReEivalist.
TChicago Tribune /


If the laborer is worthy OF his hire, why
should there be any suppression of the
amount in case he is minister of the Cos
pei? Rev. Sam Jones began the conspicuous
part of his career as an evangelist by re-
vival in Brooklyn. His discoverer was the
famous Talmage, in whose Tabernacle, the
largest church in America. Sam enlivened a
series OF meetings III his OwR peculiar man
ner. sit was during tour in the West,"
said Talmage to me, that friend spoke to
me about Sam Jones, who was then unknown

derfully effective work. L went a hundred
miles to witness his methods and their re-
suits fol l was anxious to secure first-rate
evangelist for the ensuing winter. 1t was a
tabernacle custom, you know, to try to have
an arousal annually. We believe in revivals
and we endeavor to lose as little as possible
OF what we gain by them. Well, was cap
tivated at once by Sam, and we managed to
engage him.
son what terms?" asked.
'That is not an essential particular" was
the reply. 'Sam labored earnestly. sincere
ly, very effectively, and that is all the public
need know"
Talmage is a polite, genial gentleman, and
he was not angry at my persistence but he
positively would not tell me how much Sam
Jones was paid. Several of the Tabernacle
trustees were just as reticent as their pastor
on that point, and it was only by whole
day of inquiry that / learned, with fair GER
tainty, that the revivalist came to Brooklyn
under no definite agreement as to remunera-
ton. He was lodged and fed at the homes of
wealthy members of the church, of course,
and during his stay Talmage frequently
handed to him small sums to defray his in
significant personal expenditures. At the
close of his visit trustee gave to him 81 ,000,
which he at first said was too much, but
took it on being urged. 1t is understood
that he used some of it in buying books for
a religious library, which be had long de

Only "a Girl.

In her old age. Mime. Jerome Bonaparte,
OF Baltimore, the American beauty who
married brother of the great Napoleon,
and was repudiated by him, demanded a
great deal more admiration than she got. At
an entertainment she considered herself neg
lected by the gentlemen, who paid the most
of their attention to a couple of newly mar
ried young ladies. She endured it for some
time, and then remarked to the first one who
found little time to spare with her:
do you know, Mr.. ", that 1 consider it
the most foolish thing in the world for a
gentleman to pay attentions to ayoung mar
ried LADY,"
Indeed, madam responded the gallant,
