How Bob IngersoIl is Interviewed
 From the Chicago Herald

Bob 1ngersoll has a peculiar way of being interviewed" said a reporter yesterday.
 How IS thats I will tell you. An expert stenographer travels around with him all the time, and when newspaper man seeks an audience with the distinguished orator he is politely referred to the shorthand fellow, who makes minute of the questions which the reporter desires to fire at the bald-head- ed man. The stenographer then tells the re- porter to call around two or three hours later promising to have the interview transcribed by the time of his arrival While the repor- ter IS cooling his heels on the corner the stem ographer interviews his employer, transcribes mystic notes, and has the manuscript ready Tor the reporter at the appointed time. The novelty of the whole thing is that when the reporter comes for the matter he is politely told that the interview cannot be printed without the presentation to the stenographer ot certain sum of money. As a chat with 1ngersoll is sometimes worth few dollars, the money is usually paid, but am little un- certain as to whether the orator himself or the shorthand man profits by this peculiar style of pumping"

CORK TOP.
An Anglo maniac Furnishes Anuse-
 ment for a Strap Officer.

An Anglo M aniac Furnishes Anauee-
 ment for Strap Officer.
 From the New York Tribure.I
 One of the officers on board the schoolship St. Mary's has friend of the Anglo maniac species who affords him 8 world of amuse- ment Officers on board the sehool-ship do not have great opportunities for entertain ment. Monkeys and dogs are not allowed on board, and so about the best an officer can do is occasionally to have friend with him. Corktops company is frequently sought, therefore, by the officers of the St. Marv's But the fun Corktop furnishes for the officers is nothing to the hilarious merri- ment which the little ''middies" get out of him. To them he is thing of beauty and a joy fovever.
 Recently the St. Mary's put into Newport, and gentleman who was spending the sum- mer there went out to her in his launch to call on one of the officers. As he got over the taffrail, the first thing that met his eyes was Corktop, gazing earnestly up into the mast head. The gentleman followed Corktop's eyes and observed a poor little wretch of a middy, standing up there with his arms strengthened down at his side, 8 picture of forlornness.
 s.Hello, Corktop," said the visitor
 ssWhy, how-dy'e do, deah boy! Dye see that little fellah up there, noW?"
 '.Yes, I see him. He's being punished for something, isn't hea"
 ssI'm suah I cawn't say I wish knew Pve taken quite fahncy to the little fellah, y'know, and by Jove,I think it's deuced hard luck he's having. He's an awfully nice boy, with such beautiful mannahs, ye know. This morning was walking down the deck, and he came along. Beg pahdon, sir,' he said, touching his cap, y know, but will you be good enough to tell the officers down in the cabin that the guns are all 1ashed to the mainmast2' We'll he was so pahfectly polite about it, y'know, that I couldn't refuse. I said 'Sahtainlv.' and I went down into the cabin. The officers were all there y'know, and I said: Gentlemen, the guns are all lashed to the mainaast' They all cried out as if 1 had said that the world had come to an end. 'Whatl 'The guns are ali lashed to the mainmast.I I repeated. How the deuce did that happena one of them awsked. Well, I'm suah I cawnt say,' I answered, but as was walking on deck bit ago, 1 met very young gentleman, who touched his cap beau | tifully ,y'know, and awsked me if I wouldn't come down and tell you about the guns being | lashed to the mainmast"
 Well, old fellah, the officers began law. | fng like many awsse5, y'know, and one | of them jumped up and went out. At the cabin doah 1 heard him say: o, you're | there, you little scamp, are you; come heaf | s IT and in he brought the same chawming lit tie boy who had awakened me to speak about guns. ''Is this the very polite young | gentleman, ,Cawktop,' he awsked. whom yor met on decka' Well, was quite willing tt do the fellow good turn and I said, 'Th' very same.' That was only ten minutes agt and now, there he is!'

Gustav von Nao.er,s Boots.


 The mysteries of sympathy and ant1pathy and related subjects have peculiar charm for him, and often lead to most interesting apercus and discussions. These thoughts bring me straight down from the lofty mys- tic regions of speculation to the naked earth; namely, to Herr von Moser's boots! As everybody has his weak side, his skeleton in the cupboard, his worry that he cannot get rid of, so in the case of our playwright, and this in the form of his bootsl
 Who does not remember Thackeray's charming little tale, s'The Fatal Boots, which turn up on very imaginable occasion to mar and destroy the hero's chances? It is not quite so bad 8 case with Herr von Moser but he too can tell where the shoe pinches.
 In his bedroom stand whole columns of si, lent boots as if on parade, and among them hardly pair he cares to wear. And as he hardly ever returns from a trip from home without adding 8 few pairs to his stock, there is no knowing to what strength his standing army (of boots) may yet attain.

The action of the Labor politicians last evening complicates the situation. If it leads to good nominations by the other par ties it will be useful.
 The Windbam County Transcript is au- thorized to say that Milton A. Shumway of Killingly is not candidate against Col H. W. R. Hoyt for the speakership. This leaves the field clear for Colonel Hoyt, who will make good speaker.
 Sometime perhaps the people of this coun- try will wake up to the importance and value of trade with South America. As it is we pay more for Brazilian coffee than the value of all our exports to South America. European countries are profting largely by the pre- vailing condition of affairs.
 Dr. Edson of the New York Board of Health recently made discovery calculated to make wine drinkers thoughtful. He found g factory of bogus wine, in which salicylic acid has been habitually employed in quan- titles certain to produce deleterious effects upon all who drank the abominable decoc- ton. Salicylic acid acts upon the nervous system and finally upon the brain. Taken in small continuous doses it will impair the judgment and memory.
 The theory of Dr. Wilson of Meriden that the burning of kerosene oil has something to do with diphtheria is interesting. There were seventy-one deaths from diphtheria in the town of Meriden in one year, and by personal investigation Dr. Wilson found that in every case the family used kerosene lamps. There were many other cases in Meriden that year, the spread of the disease being from contagion. But not in single case where gas or candles were used was there death from that disease.
 The land bill which an English cabinet committee is constructing is intended to af- ford long needed relief and security to small farmers. It provides for the purchase of holdings by the national treasury and their allotment in tracts of sixty acres or less to tenants. Those who obtain farms under the provisions of this bill are granted a term of forty years in which to pay for their hold ings by annual installments. This measure is an extension of the Ashbourde act, which has been tested in practical operation, and conforms with the recommendations of the warden of Merton college and other unbiased economists.
 A very amusing scene recently occurred in London court room in a litigation concern ing the ownership of donkey.
