4 Very Broad D~istinction Between Real
and Conventions Good Breeding.
Mrs. John Sherwood, in her admirable
book on manners, draws very happily
the distinction between real and conven-
tional good breeding. That the distinc-
ton is a real one, u~nhappily, admits OF
controversy. The p~oliteness OF some
people consists entirely OF taking off and
putting on again their hats. In other
words they, are pleased to be courteous
simply as a formal matter, and would
instantly resent any claim on their at
tention that involved the slightest sacri-
flee OF bodily ease or meutal self-com-
placency. In a society like ours, that
owes its growth rather to accretions from
without han to its own natural dyelop-
ment, this curious anomaly OF coars>ness
and refinement is particularly apparent.
Why was 1t hat at certain houses last
winter the hostess felt compelled not to
furnish any wiues for the mems dressing
roomi Simply because many men were
30 utterly devoid OF the eommonest sense
Of decorum that they could not be trusted
to behave themselves like gentlemen, II
temptation was placed in their way. And
yet no one OF these same young men
would nave dreamed of committing the
objectionable crime of wearing n white
satin tie or OF emitting to even up their
social obligations by making their formal
calls a week after. They were all well
yersed In the rules OF conventional
etiquette, and as far as those rules could
guide them they were beyond reproach.
1t wa only on that higher ground, where
formal etiquette ends and where true
courtesy begins, that they could not be
trusted to stand alone
But II is lot necessary to cite such
gross violations of good taste TO establish
the point at issue. The man who accepts
an invitation out and then proceeds to
abuse the hospitality he is receiving, who
comments on the cider-like quality of the
champagne, calls the chicken-salad veal,
and unh~esitatingly identifies the terrapin
with its distant relation, the plebian
turtle, can any one call him a gentleman,
In spite OF the polish OF his outward APP
pearance and the correct cut OF his
clothess He is conventionally well bred,
but that is all, and, moreover, he can
never be anything more.
The well worn quotation, "Poeta
nascitur non fit" is as applicable to gen
tlemen in the generic sense as to poets.
There are few men who pride themselves
on their good breeding who would fail in
the ordinary civilities during an after
noon walk on the avenue, and yet they
would feel that they had been deprived of
a rightful privilege II they were mo al
lowed to obstruct the Hobbies Of public
places OF amusement or the vestibules of
churches for the purpose OF staring mod
est women out of countenance. 1t
reminds one of the Italian banditti who
never fail TO invoke the pious offices Of
the church before proceeding on their
cheerful errands OF robbery or murder

stormy Speech.
DUBLIN, Feb. 9.-When Messrs. Par
nell, O'Connor, and O'Brien arrived at
Galway they were met by men who jostled
the Irish leaders, and cried, ITO hi with
O'Shea and Parnell."
Mr.. Healy, who had arrived some time
previously, hurried to the scene, and
pushing his way through the crowd, said
he would break the head of any man who
dared to insult Mr.. Parnell. This restored
order for a time. During the general
meeting held to take action on the canvass,
Mr.. Lynch made speech in which he said
that Mr.. Parnell had acted like a
traitor to Galway in importing Capt.
OShea as a Parliamentary candidate
when he had plenty OF good native mate
rial. Mr.. Lynch added that although Mr..
Parnell was great man, Ireland had
made him. These remarks stirred the
factions present into wild excitement.
Mr.. Parnell then invited Mr.. Lynch to a
quiet talk, and the conversation was not
long over before Mr.. lynch announced
that ne had decided, at Mr.. Parnelps re-
quest, to withdraw from the Galway con-
test.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 0.-In the Senate
to-day considerable time was expended In
debating the bill called up by Mr.. Hoar
providing Tor the distribution OF public
documents among the repositories of pub.
lie documents, Dir. Riddeberger having
endeayored to secure consideration Of the
resolution already offered by him. calling
for Information from the Committee on
Public Buildings, and being informed by
the chair that the resolution mad gone
over under the rules. Mr.. Riddleberger
insisted that 1t had not gone over. He
read the Senate rules and construed them
to support his contention. He said he
had heard no objection to consideration
of his resolution. He wanted s'the gavel''
TO be exercised impartially. He thought
one rule was applied to one Senator and
another TO others.
Mr.. Frye, who had occupied the chair
when Mr.. Riddleberger's resolution was
offered, SAID be distinctly heard objection
to the resolution when offered, and had
been obliged to announce that it went
over under the rule.
Mr. RiddleberQef raised a number OF
points OF order, which were successfully
overruled by the president pro tempOre,
and business was then resumed.
In the course OF the debate on the
public document bill, Mr.. Hoar, arguing
for the wisdom of making complete con-
tributIOns 10 libraries, etc, said il was
very important that newspaper editors
should be able to have access to public
documents, and not be obliged to draw on
their inner consciousness for their facts.
After the debate the bill was referred To
the Committee on Printing for considera-
tion and report. On motion OF Mr. Morrill,
the Senate. at5:l0 o'clock, adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-On motion OF
Mr.. Malone the Senate to-day took up
bills fayorably reported, and on the Gals
endar, providing for the erection OF public

Inc bill TO appropriate $3.50, 200 for tho
purchase of site fof public building at
San Francisco, Cal, gave rise TO some
discussion, started by Mr. Riddleberger,
VINO inquired whether there was not al-
ready public building at that place.
Mr.. Stanford replied that San Francisco
paid from 100000 to $500 900 per YEAR
into the public treasury, that its post
once building was an old tumbledOwn
affair, insufficient and insecure, and that
san Francisco was entitled TO a building
that would accommodate the business OF
the city and the Pacific coast.

measures had been secured
MIR. Morrill, defended the committee,
saying that It had carefully examined
each case, had found that the buildings
were necessary and that Virginia had not
been neglected.
The bill was displaced at 2 O'Clock by

gate amount OF money covered by the bills

Secretary Manning to Change the Pres
ent Arrangement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 0.-Secretary Man.
ming proposes to withdraw the local
special agents from the custom houses
and concentrate them at Washington, at
the same time reducing the number of
the force. His theory is that the special
agents will do better work II each is
under the immediate direction of the chief
of special agents, as it is the local special
agent that feels more or less Independent
and at the same time feels as though he
must always be terreting out a case.
Sometimes he strains point to make out
his case, to the great annoyance OF an
honest importer. Secretary Manning
thinks that it would be to the interest OF
the government to have all the special
agents stationed here, and only ordered
specially to different custom houses.

GEN. W. S. HANCOCKD DEAD
DIABETES sUPERINDUCED BY A
CARBUNCLE.

The Soldier Lacking Only Five Days of
Having Completed His 62d YeRr-He
Had Led His Troops 30 More Battles
Than Amy OF His Contemporaries.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.--In front OF No. 8,
Governors Island, an orderly this after
noon was pacing to and fro. It was the
late residence of Mai. Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock, who had died therein at 2:51
O'Clock. If the General mad lived until
Feb. Ia be would have completed his 81
year, having been born at Norristown,
Pa, ON Feb. IA, 1924. In second story
front room, furnished with sOldier-like
simplicity, lay the remains OF a General,
who, as the guards remarked, had led his
troops TO more battles than any of his mill
tary contemporaries. The death OF Gen.
Hancock was not a surprise to his family.
1t was shock to them as well as to his
friends. Twenty days ago he started on
BUSINESS connected with the Department
OF the Atlantic TO Philadelphia, where he
remained two days and then proceeded to
Washington. In Washington a boil de-
vel0ped on the back Of his neck.
FORCED TO RETURN HOME.
1t was lanced on Jan. 30, and, as the
0GutIdA WIS AHtOnfeulbuEtu DN It's
presence, he returned to New York sew
eral days sooner than he bad designed.
During the first week OF February the
boil developed into malignant car
buncle, which suppurated constantly
and prevented rest or sleep. DR.. Jane
way was called in attendance, and It was
not until marked weakness had resulted
from the presence of the car
buncle that the surgeon dis
covered that Gen. Hancock
was suffering from diabetes. DR.. Jane
way called in consultation DR.. Sutner-
land, medical director of the department,
and DR.. d. NJ. StevlsOn, Of New York.
The medical men concluded Monday that
the case was assuming a very serious
form. At 10 O'Clock Monday night, before
going away, DR.. Janeway found his
patient in good spirits, and able 10 assist
himself, and he lett him apparently i'm

CAMPBELLTON, N. B., Feb. 9.-Dr.
Wakeham, commissioned by the govern
ment to aid the Chairman of the Bona

distributing the relief given by the gov
ernment, has arrived at Paspebiac from
Graspe. He reports the distress great be-

greater at Newport, Grand River, Nou-
velle, Paspeiac and New Carlisle. The
people are doing all they can to help each
other, and so far have been orderly, but
some have threatened TO break into stores.
Many families have not tasted bread for
weeks, and many are now actually with

So far $4,000 has been given by each
gOvernment-Federal and lOcal-which
will be evenly divided between the two
counties, BOnaventure and Gaspe. At
least 5000 persons require relief from day
to-day and the government grants Will
barely tide affairs over for a couple of
weeks. Unless the suspended firms Of
Robin & Co. and BOutiieir Bros. resume
within few weeks general measures of
relief will have to be adopted. 1t is pro-
posed that the government should 20 on
with some public work. as this would
tend to prevent pauperism. In the mean
time subscription lists have been opened
at many places, and the government
grants are being materially increased by
