She Will Recognize Mrs. Hendricks.

D6nVtT hBpuDIlCaH.
The Indianapolis Sentinel-a Democratic paper
which ought to know thing or two-startles
the world with the announcement that warm
friendship has sprung up between Mrs. Hendricks
and Miss Cleveland. The fact that the Sentinel

age Hoosier mind that Mrs Hendricks wos1a de-
cline to recognize the Presidents sister as her
social equal.

PUBLIC disgust at the conduct of drunken Joe
Emmett is general He has held place in popu-
larity on very narrow grounds, and it will not
take much to topple him off it. The New York
Tribune says of him:
~. X. Emmett, who never showed any genuine
ability either as actor singer, but who has in
tested the American stage for years with the
foolish songs and the idiotic drivel of his char
acter of Fritz, has fallen into such habits of
drunkenness as to make himself a common
nuisance. The press has given too much atten-
ton to the doings of this worthless fellow His
friends-if he has any left-should put him in
retreat, or the police should lock him up and
keep him from public view. Decent people want
to hear no more about him."

There is a day of reckoning ahead for BrotheE
Hendricks for his ungenerous treatment OF

of his health and live long enough to enable
them to amputate his scalp while he is still in
state of consciousness.

CINCINNATI poetry, like Cincinnati sausage, is
not linked sweetness long drawn out, but fear
fully and wonderfully made. In the Sunday
papers it now runs to obituary verse, of the most
eccentric kind and in charming defiance of
every rule as to meter and rhyme. Here is one
in memory of Benny" who passed from this
life last week:
"Dear little Benny to heaven is gone
TO dwell with bright angels of love;
He left ere he knew of sorrow care,
And is now bright little angel.
''Then weep not for him. dear parents
Though precious little flower you I'VE lost;
Remember, he is far better off angel,
And that he loves you the same though he's gone"
The beauty of this Cincinnati verse is the
adaptability of the meter. For the name Benny,
that of Alexander Michael Angelo Murphy can
be substituted without destroying its SYM
metry, and 1t is just as good as new,
ready for use in the same or the next edition of
the paper Indeed practical illustration of this
is given in the same column of yesterdays En-
quirer. One year ago father died. and in com
memoration Of the sad event his children caused
the following to be published as indicative that
their profound grief has not yet been assuaged
"Twelvelong months have passed and gone
Since we laid you in your grave,
And our hearts sad and lonely
Since you left our happy home"
There is every evidence of reckless grief in
these simple lines, the subscribers being obliv-
ious of any flaw in their rhythm Immediately
below there is another, in memory of mother
who went to the better land in 1874:
Eleven long years have passed and gone
Since laid you in your grave
And my heart is sad and lonely
Since you left your happy home"
This stanza will he only the more picturesque
in event of anybody wishing to use it at time
when the years not even. For example,
when it is made to read:
Thirteen long years. seven months and twenty nine
days have passed and gone
Since laid you in your grave, etc.
Two things are evident from this: Cincinnati
people pool their issues obituary poetry and
the Enquirer is determined to become the Phila-
dephia Ledger of the West
