Americans More HospItable.

Between the American and English
systems of club management" said
Crawford NJ. Kendrick, a prominent
member of the University club, to a
Republic reporter, there is a vast diff
ference, which is especially noticeable
to an American visiting London for the
first time. The leading American clubs,
while exclusive enough for all sensible
purposes, are conducted with a view to
their members being enabled to extend
the privileges of club life to visitors
from other cities or countries, and there
isn't a club in the United States where a
stranger, properly introduced by a
member, would not be at once hospita-
bly, received and made to feel at home.
That's one Of the beauties of our club
life. But how different with the large,
first class London clubs. They have an
enormous membership, running up
sometimes to 5000 or 1000, and all own
large and magnificent club houses. But
they are the sacred and inviolable re-
treats of members, and no stranger
passes beyond the reception parlors.
You may go that far and send in your
card, but your London friend, no matter
to which one Of the swell clubs he
may belong, cannot get you an entree
to the inner social life of his club, and Is
unable to extend any hospitality that
way. Londoners who have visited New
York and other American cities, and en-
loved the benefits of our more friendly
system, are beginning to complain OF
this, and to protest against the rigid ex.
clusiveness and selfishness OF their OWL
clubs.7St. Louis Republic.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-An evening
paper says: Notwithstanding the care
fully studied efforts to keep the fact
from public knowledge, it has leaked
out that DR.. Alexander e. Mcdonald,
general superintendent of the insane
asylum on Wards Island, has become
insane. DIR. Mcdonald has for many
years been one of the formally recog-
niZed authorities in this country on the
subject OF insanity. He was one OF the
experts whose testimony convicted
Guiteau, the assassin of President Gar
field, and it is noteworthy that he is
another of those who participated in
that trial, AMI who has apparently
fallen under the ban Of the assassin's
curse.

NEW YORK, Jan. AT precisely II
O'Clock to-day, the new mayor, Hugh
J. Grant, was led to his desk in the
city hall by-non. A. s. Hewitt. For
more than an hour previous the city

people gave themselves UP to social
festivities and amenities today to an
extent not practiced for many years.
They were favored with pleasant,
agreeable weather and the morning
was full of sunshine, but in the after
noon it clowded up little. the tenn
poIaJure, however, lowered between
forty and forty five nearly the entire
day. Business was almost entirely
suspended and the streets were filed
with pleasure seekers.
The preSident-elect had no political
visitors to-day. Senator Henry w.
Blair, of New Hampshire. arrived at
noon and called on the General this
evening. He Is here, however, on a
lecturing tor, having engaged to de-
live five lectures in the state.
He talked freely with cor
respondents about his several
bills in congress and on political mat
tiers, stating among other things that
in his opinion large majority of the
republicans of New England were de-
sirous of seeing Mr.. Blaine at the head
of President Harrison's cabinet. He
was not going TO specially advocate
Mr.. Blaine to the president-elect I'M
less the latter requested his views, etc.
An unusually large number of prom
ineDt ladies of the city threw their
doors open this afternoon, but the
most notable receptions however were
those held in the afternoon at the resi-
denees of General Harrison, Hon. J.
G. New and at the New

notice of the Harrison reception
appeared in the local morning papers

LoNGvIEw, Tex, Jan. 1.-The latest
sensation in sporting circles was caused
by bull fight, which occurred on the
public square, between Samson,
weighing LOO pounds, and a 1900
weight Brush bull. When Samson was
let out to the ring he seemed reluctant
to enter, while the Brush bull paved
the mud and seemed anxious for the
fray. According to their peculiar tao
tics, they greeted one another with low :,
cultural bellows, and. when only few
yards apart, they suddenly leaped to
the attack with great noise and began
to gore each other with a frightful
energy. Above the fierce and noisy
trumpeting could be heard the grinding
of their interlocked horns and the vio-
lent snorting of brutal rage. The sight
was cruel, it was grand. The magnili-
cent animals swayed to and fro, they
were covered with mud and foam, while
their distended nostrils emitted reddish
foam. With fearful lunge Samson
struck the Brush bull in the flank,
downed him and gored him frightfully.
Samson was the victor, and the Brush
bull will either die or remain cripple
for life and never be seen in the ring
again. Samson's hackers are jubilant.
and will place all their money on him
against any bull of equal fame.

The interstate commerce law forbids

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tatiOn of passengers or property than 1t
charges for a like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the interior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patronized. The Missouri

ducements as mentioned above and great
