Trying q Confidence Game.
New York Letter


Secretary Of the Navy Whitney IL an old
New Yorker, and therefore familiar with
the city's characteristics He stood In the
corridor Of the Fifth Avenue hotsl in social
talk with the Secretary OF tho Interior
Lamar, and the topic Of conversation was a
cunfldence robbery that had been perpe-
tratsd upon guest OF the house that day.
W hitney maintained that while some men
we're astonishingly gullible, the majority
wsrs unreasonably cautious
"To illustrate my point" be said, "let my
young friend, Joe Barnard, here, offer to
give a Si0 bal for 81, and not man in this
corridor Wi acoeps tbs offer
Tho experiment was at once made. Joe
was a good-looking, weh-dressed fellow
with nothing in his aspect to suggest
roguery Whitney handed a crisp, new $40
note TO him, AMI he set out on his round
II beg your pardon, sir" remarked Joe,
politely, to the veteran Gen. Dan SickleS
who was stUmpng round on leg and a
crutch. "but will you please give me 81 for
this Sl0iT and he held the note 50 close TO
Sickles' eyes that its genuineness ought to
have been visible. A half-sarcastic, half
angry grin came over the generals face,
but he deigRsd no reply, and contemptuously
turned away The proffer was soberly
made to nine men none being witness Of
the others refusal, aud every time with the
same result Nobody would buy $40 with
81. All decided on the spur Of the moment
that they were the objects OF a swindlsr's
attention. The endangered note came
safely back 10 Whitney, aud the group
laughed over the adventure Sickles
who was called In to be tsased for letting so
good a bargain slip

Cyrus W. FIELD. PecuIlaritle.

lBrooklyn Union
There is an oil story about Mr.. Field that
he shakes hands with perscn according 20
his wealth or position. II the person occu-
pies high rank he will give him hss whole
hand, and II he is person in tho middle
station he will give him three fingers, per-
haps, and IL poor and humhe citizsn, one
finger is enough. 1t is q fact that Mr.. Field
has great habit OF shaking hands with one
6ugor, and he seems to regret allowing that
to be used for shaking purposes A thing
that has given him as much reputation as
anything else in Wall street Is his door bang
ing propensity. When he enters an Office he
bangs the door with might and main, and
while In gathers his strength to slam itagain
when he goes out The door OF one office
which he frequents, as am told, required re-
pairing from his banging four times within
ayear.
Most people have AN idea tina. Mr. Field is
a Crn,u. He is not an extremely wealthy
man for Wall street figure On paper Jay
Gould is worth from So 900, 900 10 S75, 900,
900. and Russell Sage from SIS, 700, 900 TO
$50, DOC, 600 The best estimates put Mr..
Fields wealth at about 81, 000, 100, and that
is in all probability the extent Of it. The
average person. no doubt, thinks Mr. Field
as wealthy as Mr.. Sage, and some think be
Is almost as wealthy as Mr.. Gould. The
truth is, Mr. Field is rather pretentious
man, and his airs perhaps, have created an
idea OF great wealth. He is not an operator
ON Wall street in tho sense that Gould is at
all Gould is scalper Of the market-that
Is, he will push stocks up or down, as the
case may be, 70 get two or three points
profit. Field always goes in for long deals
like tho Manhattan. He may go short of
stock and work months and months to ham,
mer il down with the intention of buy ing at
the bottom for Q long reaction.

OF late the people Of Kentucky have not
heard much in regard to the operations Of
the State r iilroad Commission. This lie be-
cause the Commission has been doing next
to nothing, except to promptly draw the
salary. 1t would seem that the commission
has been mainly engaged during the sum-
mer in assessing the railroads in the State
and the work is not yet completed. We
may be mistaken, but we have an idea that
a commission Of competent, clear headed
business men, with former assessments be-
fore them and all needed facts at command,
could make . just assessment Of the rail-
roads in Kentucky within six dsys; or what
would be s,ill better, the Auditor Of State
could dispose Of the business, more salts
fsctorily, within the same time. What
other legitimate businers is there for the
Commission? A member OF the board
