PEEP AT NYM CRINXLE.
Just passing the hotel where we are stand
ing is a man who would attract no special
attention except in crowd of anti-cig arctic
smokers. Nym Crinkle dips his pen in
satire when he writes of modern esthetcism
and namby -pambyism generally. There
fore, we express some surprise at seeing
him at work on a half-smoked cigarette
He furnishes in his own case a contradiction
of the statement that if you scratch a
cigarette smoker you'll find an imbecie.
and he may nod at times, but
Wheeler seldom drops into the
commonplace, aud is, l believe, a conscien-
tlous writer. If the highest form of genius
is the power to feel the truth, and the
highest literary talent tho power to express
it accurately and clearly, Wheeler is a
literary genius. A thousand people will
read Wneeler where one will turn to re 20 ,
nize him on Broadway. He passes out OF
sight, and upon the scene is a we'll fed and
contented looking man, who has just come
out of the Fifth Avenue hotel. He is as
happy looking as Bob Ingersoll whose
friend and former client he is.
Ex-senator Stephen w. Dorsey is liv
ing contradiction of the saying that men
never get of politics before death. Dorsey
has been head and heels in politics. But he
acquitted OF completely in the star route
clseS, took to cattle-raising, and is now a
prosperous and happy man. Unlike the
majority of politicians. ex-senator Dorsey
is fperma entity out. A few months ago
young new Paper man Of one of the city pa
pers was sent to interview Mr. Dorsey The
reporter found the ex-s -nator smoking
cigar of peace in the hotel, and began Mt

Mr.. Dorsey,l but Il tell you what will Go,
How loag can you get Off TO 60 down aud
look at my cattle ranchesl Two weeks.
Well, I'll be ready. You meet me here"
The reporter spent one Of the pleasantest
trips of his life down with Steve Dorsey
and his steers. This is related to show that
there is such a thing as a man permanently
abjuring politics. Mr.. Dorsey has railroad
interests here, but he is seen ut his best
when talking of his immense ranches in the
southwest 1t is not likely that Mr.. Dorsey
will ever again run for Office, although he
reached position second only in impor-
tauce TO that of the President of the United
States.
Across the street, in Madison square, sits
a strange combination Of the sane and in
saue-a strange blending of the learned and
the erratic. He is man who in his time
played many star parts He was n great
after-dinner speaker man Of extensive
wealth and travel He was listened 10 a s a
great orator, and pointed out rs a great
thinker. Now he is termed the great crank
of cranks and the public vote him an in
nccent sort of old hum0ug, who knows
nothing except how to please CHI ldren.
George Francis Train, once a gr, at notable,
towering above his fellows, is nov an OBJ
ject at which cheap wit is hurled. Hour
after hour he sits in his favorite seat in the
square, his associates being children and a
few select friends with whom he viii talk
at times.
In tho early morning, when tho occupants
OF heated tenement, unable to find sleep
in their homes, seek 1t on the benches in the
square, the passing crowd miss the gray
haired. brown-com nlexioned old man. Later
in the morning the children run to the
square TO play.
That's Mr.. Trains seat" says one of the
little girls. The sleepy occupant draws his
body to another scat, and the vacant end
Of the bench shows that the children love
Mr. Train. Soon the old man comes into
the square to hold bis daily reception, aud
TO ponder over the wrongs Of which anarchy
complains, while tho younger men who
only know Mr.. Train as a great
crank, laugh at his actions
The older generation who now halt to stare
a. poor Old Train, can recall tine dav
when he was power in the world. First

mental soundness by the advocacy of I'M
orthodox and striking schemes. He was an
extremist in everything, ending up as a
champion Of the anarchists and spirit mo
dums just now no one takes him seri-
ously. His only Office in life being 10 amuse
children, he will associate with no one else,
believing IN the sounduess OF his old hobby
that older persons derived immeasurable
benefits by contact with younger bodies II
