A Youthful Einancier.

Foreigners have formed an impress
sion that American children are pre-
cocAous. Perhaps that is so. At all
events. there is no better instance of
early development that could be cited
than in the case of Dave Morris, seven
teen years old and Youngest son of
John A. Morris, the protector of the
New York Jockey Club. Master Dave
is an expert with the violin, and was ut
one time devoted to amateur photogra-
ply. but when n Y. Star reporter
met him the other morning on his way
to his lawyers Office he assumed all
the dignity of man of affairs. 1t was
not long ago that he asked his father
for check for 500, 600, and, on eX-
planning that he wished to study in
yestments, he received it.
Now he diligently scans the money
articles of the great dailies. consults at
the breakfast table with his father
about Rock Island extension As and
New York Central debentures. while
his lawyer is instructed to keep him in
formed of gilt-edged applications for
loans on bond and mortgage. Young
Mr.. Morris tells me that be has made
but few mistakes. and his father be-
lieves that his indulgence will teach
his son the value of money better than
a long apprenticeship in bankers
office.

The Great Cathedral of Nicaragua.

The great Cathedral of San Pedro of
Leon is probably the finest religious
edifice south of the City of Mexico. 1t
was finished in 1743 at cost of $5,-
600, 600. occupying thirty-seven years
in construction. 1t is of cut stone and
is one firm mass of masonry, covers an
entire square. and its front extends
across one side of the Grand Plaza.
Like similar buildings whose ruined
arches and walls may be seen in An
tigua de Guatemala this church has
walls at least fifteen feet in thickness,
and has the solidity of a rock. Numer-
Gus earthquakes have produced no i'm
pressionS, and the storms of century
and half have in no way injured its
fine quality of stone. While inspect
ing its interior / met the cure, an old
gentleman of perhaps 65 years of age,
who, though a well-traveled European,
had never visited the United States.
He told me that in the numerous dis
putes, between Leon and Grenada the
church had often been converted into
fortress, and sustained few bonn
bardments from besieging forces.
Thirty pieces of artillery are said to
have been planted on its roof at one
time, and on its eastern side there are
many indentations made by shot. This
cathedral was once possessed of great
wealth, the chancel WAS surrounded
with railing of solid silver, while all
the altar ornaments were of gold. With
the exception of the cup and plate used
at mass the church has no ornaments of
precious metals now. Much was ship
ped to Spain and what remained did
not escape the rapacity of the soldiers,
who have many times advanced and
retreated through Leon.-Nicaragua

Two WoInanIy Women.

One was perhaps 25, the other lit
tie younger. They were pretty, and
were stylishly dressed. A carriage
stood at the Fourteenth street entrance
of Wizards Hotel, awaiting their pleas
ure. 1t could not be supposed that
they were in very distressful financial
straits.
They sat at table in the reception
room of Wizards devising, concocting
and instituting Il telegraphic message
to send to some friend. The elder one
did the writing, and scratching, and
rewriting, which used up six or seven
Western Union blanks. The younger
one leaned closely over the scrivener
right time to make the scrivener tear
up blanks.
I'VE will be there tomorrow"
That was what they wanted to say.
That was what they did say in the very
first writing.
But" said the younger. ''if we say
we are coming home we shall both have
to sign it.
Carrie and | will be there to-mor-
row."
That was the result of much mental
effort spent in composing and much
physical eXertion spent in erasing.
II guess that will do" said the
younger, and the two seemed to breathe
with that freedom which tells of great
responsibilities unshouldered.
Hold on said the elder, at the
door,
'What?" asked the other.
Carrie and | will be there to-mor-
row. One, two, three, four, five, six.
seven-only seven words"
''We1l?n
why, we have to pay as much for
seven words as we do for ten"
Here was more difficulty. 1t would
never do to pay for ten words and send
only seven. That would be Il reckless
and a wicked waste. They proposed
many ways to lengthen it, but each
time they talked off a new message on
their fingers they found they had either
too few or too many words.
''Pshaw'' said the younger one;
"why didn't | think of it before. | have
it
Have YOU? Have you?"
Why, of course. Leave it Just as it
is and add, Yours, very truly
If the young lady had had an inspir-
alton she could not have looked prouder
of it; and for the older one, she simply
looked on the sweet face before her as
that Of Il wonderful being.
Carrie and | will be there to-mor-
row. Yours, very truly" was the mes
sage that went through some opera
tors hands yesterday afternoon

My Fiddle.

Ny fiddle? Well. kind o keep her handy,
don't you know:
Though ] amt SO much inclined to tromp the
strings and switch the bow
AS ] was before the timber of my elbows got
so dry
And my fingers was more limber-like and
caperish and spry.
Yet can plonk and piunk and pink
And tune her up and play.
And jest lean back and laugh and wink
AT every rainy day.
My playin's only middlin-tunes / picked up
when a oy-
The kind o sort o. tiddlin' the folks call cordu-
roy:
1.-The Old Fat Gal i" and "Ryestraw," and My
Sailors on the Sea.
Is the cOwtillons that / saw when the ch'ice is
left to me.
And so PUNK and plonk and pink,
And rosum up my bow.
And play tine tunes that makes you think
The devils in your toe.
That's how this ar old fddles won my heart S
endurin' love.
From the strings across the middle to the
screechin' up above
From her apern over bridge and to the rib
bon round the throat.
She's wooin. cooin' pigeon, singin', Love
me- in every note,
And so pat her neck and pink
Her strings with loyin hands,
And list min cost ! sometimes think
She kin o understands.
