The following little story. says the
New York Tribune, is told of Secretary
Rusk and young imam of society.os
The young man, in the course of con-
yersation OH certain table dishes, ex-
pressed great preference for beef
steak and onions.
But don't you know, Mr.. Secretary"
he said, 81 seldom enjoy my favorite
dish. A fellow can't eat onions and go
into society. His breath, You know :
well. it's not quite what he wants for
the drawing room. The girls, you
see
my young friend" interrupted Sec
rotary Rusk, 'siet me tell you how you
can have your beefsteak and onions, and
go to Ste the girls, too. You go up to
CHARACTERISTICS and order your beefsteak
and onions. They know how to cook
them there. When you get your
bill, it will just take your breath away
President Cakes. of the Northern
Pacific, says that a different rate should
be allowed the Wisconsin Central COM
pany Oh passenger rates, to Offset the
disadvantage under which it iaborS,
says the New York Star. This theory
is advanced because the fast trains upon
the lines between Chicago and st. Paul
bear the same relation to the slow trains
of the Wisconsin Central as the limited
trains of the Pennsylvania and New
York Central roads bear to their slower
trains.
The late Junius S. Morgan, the Lon
don banker who left fortune of S10,-
100000 in personal property and large
amount of real estate, had three chill.
dren, one son and two girls. The son,
j. Pierpont Morgan, is. as everybody
knows, New Yorker. The girls mar
ried Morgans. One married DR.. John
Morgan, the popular Episcopal minister
who has been stationed at Paris for
some years. Her sister married George
Morgan, one of Coy. Morgan's family,
who is now connected with the London
banking house. DR.. Morgan, the
clergyman. is one of the most fascinat
ing Americans on the continent. In
TACT, all the men of his branch of the
Morgan family have possessed great
personal magnetism. 1t is rumOred
that the authorities of Trinity college,
Hartford. Conn.,, are surprised that
Junius Morgan left none of his vast
wealth to that institution.

George NJ. Pullman is one of the most
genial of American mllliOuaireS. | met
HIM Oh an elevated train few morn
ings since, says New York writer. He
wore a silk hat, handsome Prince
Albert coat, light trousers and patent
leather CATERS. His cuff buttons were
otstriking. and his hands were devoid
of rings. Mt, Pullman-he never likes
to be called Sir George-has white hair
and white goatee. He does not wear
mustache. There is about him an air
OF neatness altogether removed from
foppery. | recalled to his mind the old
days in Western New York when he

Julian Hawthorne lunches at a down.
town restaurant now and then. He is
delightful man to meet. If your grip is
not powerful do not shake hands with
him, for ne is a giant in strength. He
has lost none of his muscular vigor
since he knocked down German Off
Ger and snapped his sword in two in a
university city on the continent. Mr..
Hawthorne seems to pay more attention.
TO his attire than he did some years ago.
Has he been influenced by the some
what dudiSh tendencies of Edgar Saltus
and Edgar Faweett?
Senator Beck. says the New York
World, was one OF those orators who
speak all over, and he spouted ont facts
and figures at the rate of 200 words a
minute. He wilted his shirt collar and
got into profnse perspiratioB every
time he made a speech. and while his
wife was living it is said she often made
him carry valse containing fresh
shirt with him to the senate, and once
called him out in the midst of one of
his famous speeches aud made him
change before he continued. Senator
Beck spoke well, too. He was not a
foWery orator, but his words were full
of common sense and practical wisdom,
and he always commanded the attention
of the galleries by his earnestness. His
figure was such as to attract attention,
and his big, round Scotch head, his
strong voice of deep chest tones. ut
tered with slight Scotch brogue, made
him by no means an unpleasant speaker
to listen to.
A few evenings since / happened into
the windsor and f0unQ AQdlS0n cam
mack the center of attraction to crowd
of brokers and spectators. Mr.. Cam
mack used to be one of the most regular
attendants at these extra sessions of the
market at the Windsor. Since his mar
rage a few years ago he comes there
less frequently. But when he does,
every one present endeayors to talk
with him on his fayorite sofa for half an
hour and listened attentiyely while ne
accorded audiences to a succession
of the foremost people in the "street.'
The impression | took away was
that to be successful operator on
large scale in the stock market is not so
much matter of luck OF chance as peo-
pie imagine. Mr.. Cammaek, for in
Stance. is a perfect cyclopedia of in
formation about railroads, the crops,
business interests, finances, and, in
fact. everything that has any bearing
on the movement of the market.
Coupled with this, hepossesses sound,
practical Judgment that arrives at cor
rect conclusions through labyriDths of
complicated and conflicting causes.
After listening to him as | did, one
learns that guesswork plays small
part in guiding the actions of the lead
