SOLICITING BUSINESS.

Drummers, or solicitors for business.
are familiar in nearly all the lines of
activity, but it is not so well known
that they are coming into what are
called the learned professions. The
drumming for churches and moral in
stitutions is of different species than
that which has mere mercenary i'm
pulse, and is not considered. The medl-
cal fraternity bushes and pulls down
its veil when brought in this connec-
ton, and it has not been regarded as
quite professional for lawyers to use
soliciting agencies, but it is said that
the competition in the crowded cities is
dispelling this sort of etiquette. 1t is
alleged that in New York and Brooklyn
there are scores of men who make a
trade of drumming up legal business.
They are not lawyers, but effective as
sistantS. The most lucrative branch of
their business is in damage suits. They
read the papers and examine the police
reports. When an accident is found
they run down all the facts attendant
upon the occurrence. and ii they will
warrant damage suit the witnesses
are hunted up and the points grouped
for the attorney. The latter takes the
case as made up for him. and agrees to
pay the client one-half the verdict, and
the drummer one-third of his half.
The attorney assumes all the costs and
gives his client entire immunity. This
looks to the poor fellow who has no
means to prosecute the suit himself like
pretty soft snap, and does often prove
so, as the drummer and attorney would
not take very great risks unless business
were very dull. Recently a prominent
Brooklyn attorney obtained three such
verdicts in one week, amounting to
$4,000. He gave the drummer one
third of his half, and it was a pretty
fat week for all the parties. A few
lines in paper narrating an injury to
young lady on street car brought five
drummers to her house in few hours.
Some phases of the business are less

are formed into quarrels and the law is
involved, OF divorces are promoted by

Our destiny is before us. 1t can only
be reached by union and harmony. We
are not called upon to surrender or
IeopardiSe any results In favor of our
Union we may have gained in its armed
defense. but rather to foster and secure
those results through the patriotism of

duty God has laid upon us as a
nation it should never be forgotten
IhaC failure waits on disSenSion

WHO Is CHARLEY WHEELER.
A Gilded Youth in Minneapolis,
Who Wants to Marry a "Crystal
Simmer BeautY2

Slipper" Beauty?
MILWAUKEE, March 16.-A decidedly
racy story is told by Josie Gautier, a
dashing brunette of the Crystal Slip
per" company now playing in this
city. Josie is plump, piquant
miss of seventeen, and her admir-
ers were many and ardent dur
ing the two weeks engagement
of the company in Minneapolis. There
was one of her adorers whose passion
was not of the ephemeral, evanescent
sort usual in such cases. On the con-
lowed her to this city. His name is
Charley Wheeler, and he is said to be
one OF the gilded youth of the siFlour
City" Miss Gautier's story is as
follows: "On Monday night we opened
here, and Charley came Tuesday.
He called on me, and during our inter
view | took his ring and placing it on
my finger remarked: Charlie, this will
be our engagement ring OF course, it
was all joke on my part. and Charlie
said that was delightful, and asked when
our wedding should occur. ANY time,'
[ said, and l thought nothing more of it.
After the matinee, Wednesday, Charlie
with gentleman friend called for us in a
friend, and myself went out for drive.
Charlie said we were going to be mar
ried, and Harry asked me if / was all
ready. l said yes, but, of course, was
only Joking, and thought they were.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front
of residence"
By way of explanation it may be said
here that the residence Miss Gautier re-
fers to was that of Rev. Charles Stanley
Lester, of st. Paul's church.
I'VE got out of the carriage and all
the time l thought we were going to
call On some of Charles friends. When
we got inside the house Charlie spoke
privately to the gentleman, who took
some paper and asked me my full name.
| at once gave it to him. Then he
you, all the time [ thought it was a
joke. Then answered other questions
and Charlie did too. But when he
asked me mammals maiden name | be-
came afraid. l asked Charlie what this
all meant, because | never thought that
he was serious, and he looked surprised
when [ realized that we were to be mar
ried."
The minister then began to under
stand that the girl was in ignorance of
what was about to take place, and re-
fused to proceed with the ceremony.
By the advice of the minister the young
people have written to Miss Gautier's
mother in New York for her consent to
the marriage. Wheeler is about twenty
two or twenty-three years old. He is
tall and slender, dark-compleXioned,
nose prominent, eyes bright and
smiling. He dresses handsomely,
wears considerable jeweiry, and
frequently strokes his small
black moustache. He stops at the
Plankinton and hauntS the stage of the
the theater where the company is play
ing. He represents himself to be the
son of wealthy business man of Min
neapolis, and claims to travel great
deal for pleasure. He has an abundance
of money and spends it freely. Wheeler
went to Detroit last night, where he will
remain till the company arrives, and
will probably marry the girl if the
mothers answer is favorable.

Mr.. New Denies 1t.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 16.-The
alleged interview with John G. New.
published by the New York Sun and
other newspapers this morning, in which
he is made to criticise President Harri-
sons administration and to state that
he would not accept any office at the
presidents hands, should one be ten
dered, is authorltatively repudiated by
Mr.. New. In telegram to his paper,
the indianapolis Journal, Mr.. New
fatty denies having made any such
statements to any correspondent or any
one else as are attributed to him, and
intimates that his relations with the
president are as they always have been,
perfectly satisfactory to him. The in
teryiew is characterized as the widest
fiction and is repudiated totally.

decreasing for long period. 1t is very
rare that any of the native families
have more than two children, and a
large family excites surprise. 1t is prob

and becoming less every year. The new
comers are mainly Irish and Canadian
French, notably prolific. Yet, including
their contributions, the figures show a
strange contrast in the birth rate with
that Of the South and West. Texas and
Arkansas, with half the population of
New England, contribute 10 per cent
more babies to the population. The
birth rate in New England, by the last
census, was 22.1 per 1000, while in the
Southern states it was 3S.7, and about
the same in the West. 1t would be of
interest to note, if the facts were to be
had, whether the New England stock is
playing out in other sections.

New YORK, March 16.-Ex-President
Grover Cleveland made his first public
appearance as private citizen in New

Friendly Sons of St.Patrick at Delmoni-
cos tonight. He appeared to be iii ex-

ovation which could not be excelled in
point of warmth and sociability. He
was attired in dress suit and entered
the banquet hall on the arm of Joseph
j. O'Donoghue. He took the seat on
the right of the presiding officer, while
Mayor Grant was given the correspond

tables, knew the eX-president was next
on the list and that to him had been
assigned the duty of responding to the
sentiment 1.-The United States" When
the presidents brief introduction
was concluded with Mr.. Cleve-
lanu'S name, the diners leaped
from their chairs and cheered
Justify; and while the din was at its
height, Mr.. Cleveland, his face trifle
pale with interest in the scene, slowly
arose and stood motionless, save for
bows of acknowledgment at the earn
estness of the reception given him. The
cheering having finally subsidized, Mr..
Cleveland pushed back his chair, and
speaking clearly and easily, began his
remarks. AnalyZing in well-rounded
periods the significance of the "United
States''-a free country whose gates are
open to the people of all nations, and
whose people always SympathiZe with
the oppressed in their struggles for lib

life is inseparable from this union of

portant that we do not miss the refec-
ton that The United States alone
stands for the one government always
free and founded upon human rights
and equality before the law" Outlin-
ing the history of the struggles of the
