The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1889-06-01
Concerning Mr.. SingerIy.

The people of Cecil county are in ter
ested in Mr.. VIM. M. Singerly aud will
read with interest some recent gossip
concerning the great newspaper proprie
tor.
President Harrison spent last Sunday
in Mr.. Singerly's yacht aud the Philadel.
phia Press of Wednesday contained the
following:
''The Restless is attracting so much
attention at present that little gossip
about her will not be out of place." said
one of Mr.. Singerly's friends yesterday.
You know it's marvel of comfort and
luxury. The staterooms have folding
berths and bath-tub arrangement,
which make sea-bath possible In your
own stateroom. All the wood work, even
the skylights and deck houses, is of ma
hogany, except the quarters of the officers
and men, which are finished in ash. The
| ceilings of cabins, saloon, dining room,
| etc., are of lincrusta walton, and the up-
holstery work in purple velvet. Mr.. Sim
| gerly's private signal is red, white and
blue flag, with large r of white on this
ground. Cleveland made several trips on
the Restless during his presidency with
Editor Singerly and few friends. But
this is the first time on known record Ono
joke intended, assure you) when Dem
ocratlc Free trader of such pronounced
beliefs has taken Republican Tariff
President a. yachting"
The Philadelphia correspondent of the
Wilmington Morning NeUs on Tuesday
wrote the following to that journal.
William M. Singerly habitually lunches
at boomers tidy and well-kept restaurant,
and the manner in which the walters vie
with one another to serve the dis.
tinguished gentleman is frequently highly
amusing. A few evenings since the
sprightly editor came into the dining
room in his customary haste, and upon
his arrival there every disengaged SER
want instantly proffered his services. The
coffee-hued son of Ham, who succeeded
- "ooioSoihS 4it' dbUCuGlOU,
grinned happy smile when he found
that he had the field to himself and,
making respectful obeisance, he was
instantly the humblest servant magma
BILE. Mr.. Singerly gave his order in his
quick, nervous way, and in an incredibly |
short time savory dinner was spread |
before him.
The owner of the Record eats pretty |
much as he does everything else-in a
hurry-and phlegmatic individual at |
the same table would doubtless get no |
further than soup before Mr.. Singerly |
would be folding his napkin and search
ing his pockets for silver piece to fee |
his ebony colored attendant. The free
trade advocate invariably rushes through |
his menu as if he were afraid the tariff |
would gain a supporter or two while he
wastes his time at dinner. Nevertheless
he is somewhat fastidious and demands
and always obtains prompt attention He
knows what he wants when he sits down
at the table, and rattles off his order
without turning to the bill of fare. All
the walters at Dooner's have a supersti-
tious idea that fees obtained from Mr..
Singerly are lucky ones, and in order to
retain the talismanic qualities of the coin
it is transferred to their mouths as soon
as it leaves the giver's hand. That is one
of the reasons why the Africans strive to
wait upon him. Another cause is that
he seldom gives them unnecessary trou-
BILE and generally has pleasant word
for them.
