When Jay Gould Changed Coats.

While Jay Gould was stopping last week at
the Auditorium hotel Manager Brislin suggested
trip to the top OF the tower, says the Chicago
Euening Post. The wizard" thought the idea
goodone and, requesting Brisn to send for his
coat, acquiesced. Brislin,went for the coat him
self, slipping his check to the courtroom boy
with Jay Gould's. He helped Mr.. Gould on
with his coat and then donned his own. II was
little tight, but Brislin wasn't looking after
his own comfort that day. But Could coat
didn't seem to fit well. 1t was too large. He
said nothing, however, until thrusting his hands
into the outside pockets he drew forth a PACK
of cards.
WELL now, know that have been accused
OF many things, but surely no one can believe
me so low as that" calculated Mr. Gould, show.
Ing the pack, ace up, to Brisin.
"Of coursa not, replied the manager, pulling
IN turn from his overcoat pocket something
which proved to be copy of Zolas latest work.
L too. said he, have been accused of charR.
ing rather stin prices for board and lodging,
but not even my most bitter denunciator would
even suggest my haviag sunk to so low depth
as to carry one of Zolas books around with
me-"
1--WE can't have the right coats said Mr.
Gould
'Of course not,' said Mr. Brislin.
Let's get the right ones" said both, and
back they went to the coat room.
You got the right coats declared the boy
in charge 1.-THE trouble is, Mr.. Brisin, wher
you took them they got mixed up somehow, SO
that you have got on MIR. Gould's and Mr.
Gould has on yours."
The two gentlemen saw the correctness of the
boys assertion, and without looking eacn other
in the eyes made the change and assembled the
tower. While Mr.. Gould was gazing toward
tha north Mr.. Brislin excused himself mo
ment, and, going TO the south side of the tower,
flung the pack TO the ground. At the same
over the wall something which bystander
declared looked very much like book

engaged him to give lessons in boxing, and af

McCalla,s Santanca.

The sentence of Commander McCalla is
pended from rank and duty for three years,
and to retain his present number on the list
of commanders while 50 suspended.
According to this sentence Commander
McCalla does not lose his chance of promo
tion, and, according to our dispatches yes
terday, the amount of pay he will receive
will be only $500 less than if he were on
duty. 1t is said that the Secretary of the
Navy thought the punishment remarkably
light. That he thought so is not surprising,
particularly as there was also a recon-
mendation TO clemency which was signed
by ten of the twelve members of the court.
Tie court might as well have acquitted
the commander. They ought certainly to
have done SO if they did not think him suffl-
GENTLY guilty to be punished. 1t is said
that the president of the court-martial voted
for acquittal. There is no fault to be found
with him for doing that, though it is diffi-
cult to see how any one could think the
charges we're not proven.
The evidence disclosed very loose sta te
of affairs on the ship which McCalla con-
manded. There is no doubt that he
had bad lot of men in his crew. His
troubles with his crew, however, seem to
have been due to lack of discipline-that
is, failure to strictly observe the regula-
tions. He does not appear to have had the
respect of either his officers or his crew to
the extent he ought to have had
Doubtless there is some little disgrace at
tached to the sentence, and, being sensi-

A sparkline Bit of Comedv.

sparkling bit of comedy was enacted on
Broadway yesterday afternoon, says the New
York star One of Col. Lamont's yellow bodied
cars passed by Thirty third street, having as its
sole occupant a young girl OF 20. She a
very pretty brunette, with dark, curly hair, big,
expressive eyes, aud long, dropping eyelashes
In her lap sue carried bundle, and in her hand
she held paper backed novel, which she was
reading intentiy. She was the daughter of one
of New York'S best known musical directors
A few feet below Third third street a middle
aged man, holding freshly-ignted cigar in his
hand. swung on to the front platform of the
car. CHANGING inside he espied its pretty, young
occupant. She was smiling at what she
was reading, and the flush on her cheeks
made her bewitchingly attractive. Instantly
the man cast his ci gar away, pushed back the
car door, entered and sat down opposite the
fair reader She paid no attention to him. and
continued her reading without even looking up.
The man made several futile attempts to ct
tract her notice: finally he succeeded The
young girl looked up. recognized her compan-
ion as wellknown singer at the Casino, and
Involuntary smiled. Tue actor Immediately
scented victory, but the girl buried herself
again in her book. and try as he would he could
not cause her to again lit herEeyes. At Twenty
third street she left the car. AS she did so, she
shot sly glance at her persistent admirer He
arose AID followed her to the rear platform,
standing there watching her retreatng figure.
AS she reached the euro she turned around and
looked directly at the car. This was enough
The singer jumped off and fastened back. The
young girl STOOD awaiting INN. AS he ap-
preached and politely raised his hat, she said:
You evidently don't know me, sir. but l do
you; you were one of the guests at my christen-
ing, Ii you will kindly carry this bundle,
shall be glai to have your company home. l
know mamma will be delighted to see you. Ny
| name is - The actor turned red, white
aud blus; then bracing himself, he said: well,
you were the prettiest baby / ever saw, and
years have improved you. Now please let me
apologize. and when you tell this incident at
home, please leave my name out. You may tell
your mother, however that you have learned
that the proverb, There is no fool like an old
fool is pretty nearly true Good-by." And
the actor raised his hat and went off TO hunt q
fresh cigar.

a Message for MANN in Heaven.
Fyopl the Detroit Free Press.

rs this the telegraph Officer"
Asked q childish voice one day,
AS noticed the click of my instrument,
With its message from far away;
AS it sased l turned; at my elbow
Stood the merest scrap of q boy,
Whose childish face was all aglow
With the light of a hidden JOY.
The golden curls on his forehead
Shaded eyes Of deepest blue,
AS ii bit of summer sky
Had lost in them its hue;
They scanned my outfit rapidly
From ceiling down to floor;
Then turned TO me with eager gaze,
AS he asked the question DER:
SIS this the telegraph Officer"
1T is, my little man.
1 SAID; pray tell me what you want,
And I'll help you if cam
Then the blue eyes grew more eager,
Aud the breath came thick and fast,
And saw within the chubby hands
A folded paper grasped.
Nurse told me, he said, 'that the lightning
Came down on the wires some day;
And my mamma has gone to heaven,
And I'm lonely since she is away;
For my papa is very busy
And hasn't much time for me,
So thought I'd write her letter,
And I've brought it for you to see.
"I've printed it big so the angels
Could read out quick the name,
And carry it straight TO my mamma
And tell her how it came;
And now won you please TO take it,
And throw it up good and strong
Against the wires in a fuhder shower,
And the lightning will take it along"
Ali what could tell the darlipgs
For my eyes we're filing fast;
turned away to hi le the tears.
But cheerfully spoke at last:
"I'll do the best can, my child"
Twas all that could say;
THANK you, he said. and then scanned the sky
do you think it will funder to-day"
But the blue sky smiled in answer,
And the sun shone dazzling bright,
And his face, as he slowly turned away,
Lost some of its gladstone light;
''But nurse" he said, IF stay so long,
Won't let me come any more:
| So good-by, I'll come and see you again
Right after q funder shower"
