GEMS. SHERMAN AND SHERIDAN.
One Objects to Reporters and the
Other Doesn't.

Other Doesn't.
NEW YORK, April 1.-TWO famous men
strolled through the corridors of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel one evening this week. One
was tall and spare in form. His gray beard
was short and thin. His eye was as clear as
a hawks. His companion was short ana
pudgy. His hair and moustache were gray !;
but he had a military air about him that
proclaimed him q soldier. The first was
Gen. William T. Sherman, and his compan-
ion was Gen. Phil Sheridan. As they paced
the floor together they attracted a good
deal of attention. A reporter for one of
the morning newspapers espied them, and
concluded he would interview them. He
walked up to them bravely, touched his hat
very properly, and began:
Gentlemen, I'm reporter, and"
"a whats" shrieked Sherman, who
doesn't like reporters and hates to be inter
rupted.
"A reporter, gentlemen" was the scrib-
bler's reply, as he gathered himself to-
gether after the first shock; land I'd like to
interview"
"How darc you, sir!" thundered Sher-
man, as he stepped in front of the inter
viewer. Such impertinence l never saw.
| Begonen
"But, General, only want word with
you on the Presidential"
"WhaJ do know about Presidential af-
| fairs9 Go away. You're fool, and SO is
your editor. Let me passl"
And, grabbing Sheridan by the arm, he
turned off. Little Phil was almost CON
vulsed with laughter, and the reporter re-
| tired to convenient chair to nurse his
wrath.
Sherman greatly dislikes reporters. He
will never permit himself to be interviewed,
| and he
public matter unless over his own sigma
ture. Whenever he sees a reporter he re-
tires to his room in the hotel 1t was SO in
the case mentioned above. He left Gen.
| Sheridan to continue his walk alone AS
the latter hove into sight on his return down
the corridor, he saw the reporter seated in
his chair in the sulks. He went over to
| him, boldly shook him by the hand, pulled
another chair up to him, and began con-
versation.
1T was rough on you, my boy" he said,
but public men do not like to be inter
viewed. You must excuse Gen. Sherman's
brusqueness."

"But. General, do"

calm; smoke your cigar. Tell me a story.

YOU" and the General was true to his

for half an hour the couple were on the
most affectionate of terms. Then they re-

This is one of Mary Hallock Foote's best
stories. For some years past, Mrs Foote
has dwet in the Territoryof Idaho, and
her two stories (of which this is one) writ
ten during that period have been peculiarly
rich in the local color of the Rocky Noun
tains, and their picturesque forms of life,
dialect and customs. The author views the
vast aud magnificent mountain crown of
the continent with the quick and appre-
ciative eyes of an accomplished artist and
alternates wonderful bits of word-painting
with vigorous and impressive and dramatic
incidents.

DIED APRIL s. 1855.


Jacob Sharp was born in Montgomery
county, New York, July 6, 1917 His
fathers family was poor and he had 10
shift for himself early in life, with hardly
any education. He passed his boyhool AID
early manhood in Troy, Schenectady and
other places in that region, engaging in al
most any kind of work to which he could
turn his hand. When he was 20 years old
his father died. 1t was when young Sharp
was q years old that he made his entrance
into New York. He came in a mosC simple
manner his vehicle being a Hudson river
log raft, he himself only "hand" in the
employ of others. After making trips on
the Hudson river for some time young
Sharp went in on his own account to de-
liver logs and timber on contract. Later
he added the purchase md sale # logs and
timber for his own benefit to his transactions.
In the further development Of his business
advancement, Sharp identified himself
with the growth OF the city, by using his
timber and lumber to build piers and bulk
heads along the East and North rivers. 1t
was in this business that he laid the foun-
dation Of his fortune.
His first successful venture in street rail-
reading was the construction of the East
River and Dry Dock railroad This was
followed with the Christopher and Tenth
Street, the Blocker Street. the Twenty
third Street, tue Broadway and Seventh
Avenue, and finally his pet scheme Of 30
years and the source of his misfortunes, the
Broadway Surface railroad.
1t was in the fifties tn { Jacob Sharp first
contemplated making Broadway a
thoroughfare for horse cars. Again and
again he secured his franchise from the Leg.
islature and Aldermen, which invariably
was vetoed by the Mayors then in office
The Broadway franchise Of 1858 hung in
the courts for years Its validity was never
affirmed. In 1863 the Court Of Appeals
made the injunction against the franchise
OF 1852 perpetual. An effort to procure a
new charter in 1886 was defeated Other
attempts in the same direction were vetoed
