Depew and the Young Reporter.

| wonder If it is generally known that
Chauncey NJ. Depew owes not a little Of his
prominence in the publiceye to an apparently
unimportant and trivial habit. Irefer to his
knack Of making himself agreeable to news
paper men, including the youngest and most
callow of reporters, as well as the important
managing editor. For years past newspaper
men have always known that when they saw
the smiling face Of Depew at q public gath
ering they were sure Of pleasant and hos
pitabe treatment Only the other day an ex-
perienced journalist was recalling his first
attempt at reporting public dinner. think
it was one of the st. Nicholas clubs annual
affairs He was shy and i'll at ease and did
Depew spied him standing irresolutely at the
door, jostled by the walters and looking the
picture of discomfort.
The railroad magnate rose from his seat
and after introducing himself with ready
tact to the youngster took him by the arm
and led HIM up the room to seat next
his own. Then for half an hour or so he do
voted himself to his protege so that by the
time the speaking began the latter was quite
at his ease and on good terms with himself
and the rest Of the world. Depew did not
stop there, however, but gave the lad valua-
BILE advice as to which speech he should take
in full and which condense, and, in fact,
helped him out like brother journalist. ~

THE MAID ON THE BEACH.

Ginning dream by the way
With oceans rapture and roar,
Imet q maiden today
Walking alone on the shore;
Walking In maiden wise,
Modest and kind and fair,
The freshness Of spring in her eyes
And the fullness of spring in her hair.
Cloud shadow and scudding sunburst
Were swift on the floor Of the sea,
And a mad wind was romping its worst,
But what was their magic to mef
What the charm Of the midsummer skies
only saw she was there,
4 dream of the sea insber eyes
IAnd a kiss Of the sea in her hair.
watched her vanish In space;
She came where walked, no more;
But something had passed of her grace
To the spell of the wave and the shore.
And now, as the glad stars rise,
She comes to me rosy and rare.
The delight Of the wind In her eyes
And the hand of the wind in her hair.

Crowds at Carnot's Funeral Shout
"Vive Boulanger."
PARIS, March 20.--Premier Tirard to-day
informed the Chamber of Deputies that the
military tribunal would inquire into the
case of Gen. Boulanger.
The order of the day was then demanded

The funeral of Senator Carnot, father of

Ferry, vive Boulanger" Order was finally

ger, protesting against his removal from

he quoted from an article in the Borser

M. Tirard declared that NJ. Cassagnacs
remarks were insulting and requested that
he would not continue to talk..in that strain.

CONVERSION OF CONsoLs.
The House of Commons Approves tn
Commits Sion's Pronositlnn

The House of Commons Approves the
Commissions Proposition.
LONDON, March 20.--The debate on the
conversion of the consol's bill was resumed
in the House of Commons this evening.
Mr.. Fowler Q4iberaD moved to omit the
provision for the payment to bankers of
commission of 8 pence on stock converted
through them.
Sir John Lubbereck defended the pro-
vision. He said bankers could not be ex-
pected to cooperate without such a pro-
vision.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said that
this was the first precedent Of an English
government paying commission for get
ting something done by a stock exchange
which ought to be done by itself
Mr.. Goschen said the government last
year converted G50,000, 600 from per cent.
TO 81 per cent through bankers, paying
them a commission Of ( per cent. The bust
ness Of the conversion cost much trouble.
He would therefore ask the House to adhere
TO the terms of the bill.
Mr. Gladstone said that Mr.. Goschen had
not made out case for the proposal. II
was an extravagant payment.
Mr. Goschen responded that If payment
was refused the whole scheme would be
aground.
The commission was approved by vote
of pa to IN. This division practically
carries the conversion scheme.
