people interested and have paid up f1oJ, 900. The
cable, however. will be practically private en-
terprise. We can lay the cable complete for
fSI0 900, and it will be odd if we cannot pay
big dividend and give the public an immense
advantage besides. Further than this prefer

From ano ther source it was learned thGt the
real object OF the enterprise is reduction of the
cable rates between America and England to
about three pence a word. The scheme is well
organized and thoroughly under way Mr.

Suddenly from the other side of the

The spell was broken. Juliet recov-

POLITICS.
The city is buzzing about candidates.
Even religious circles, hitherto free of
secular politics, are worked up over the
situation. Some time ago, when the
municipal league was first organized, 1

had just held one of their meetings and
had come to no conclusion. Fish is not a

he remarked: HWell the olergymen

HUGH PENTECosT.
Speaking of Ministries reminds me OF q
little story 1 heard recently. Hugh ..
Pentecost, who started out as Baptist
preacher, broke away from his church,
now editor of that socialistio organ, the
Twentieth Century. He married n very
prominent society girl of Hartford,
Conn. about ten years ago. Their we'd
dug was very 'swell" affair. After
wards Pentecost accepted q pulpit in
Brooklyn at salary of $40 900 year.
Everything seemed bright for the young
couple. The wife was handsome and
popular, the preacher was eloquent,
earnest and successful. A few nights
ago some old friends of Mrs. Pentecost,
who had known her in the days when she
shone as society belle, went to hear her
husband address crowd Of workingmen
on the East Side. Imagine their aston
ishmsut when Mrs. Pentecost came out
On the stage, and, attired IN most
striking garo, sang 10 the assemblage q
revolutionary song. She has been a
most loyal wife. She has supported her
husband in every step he has taken and
has been of great service to him in his
rather peculiar career. Cons dering her
former life as a society woman, her
present career as a singer of socialstio
songs is picturesque.
AFTER DINNER COCKTAILS.
A great effort is made by bar rooms in
the lower part of the city to catch the
thirsty business man on his way home
from dinner. The arts employed in this
regard are varied and peculiar. There
are two saloons that claim recognition
on the ground that their picture galleries
are worthy OF note. Other caravansa-
ries tempt the thirsty way farer by their
low prices. Still others serve q hand
some luncheon as bait for the home
going gudgeon. There is one saloon
where fried oysters and soallops are spe-
cialties; another that prides itself on its
ham. and another gives you u fine salad
with your tipple. Is it strange that so
many New Workers reach home at night
with strong breaths and weak appatites?
