SUNDAY CHATTER.

The m0desty of some of the young
people on st. Anthony hill is phenom-
email. The idea of newspaper fame
brings bushes often to their cheeks.
For instance, tony club party in tobog-
gaming near Summit avenue last Sun
day night met an incident that covered
the head and faces of the men with
blood and required ambulances and sur
geOns for the ladies, and yet they took
all precautions to keep it out of the pa
pers.5 About the same time young
man of the blue blood persuasion, who
doteS on cigarettes and the girls, was an
actor in bit Of comedy that he would
not have made pubic on any account.
He had stayed much longer than good
usage warrants, sitting up with one of
his best girls. 1t was so late, in fact,
that he did not believe he would be able
to wake up at the business hour, so he
went to his room and made up a pack
age of his week day suit and started to
go to sleep with friend nearer town
who would wake him. One of the vigi-
liant hill police saw him coming out of
the house with a bundle at this I'M
seemly and suspicious hour, and
took him for burglar. He did
not dare TO run, as the officer proposed
to make him target. His explanations
were received with a good deal of in
credulity, although he opened the pack
age. As test. the officer asked him to
name the contents of Il certain pocket.
The pool ticket, photograph and comb
were not there. He was evidently a
petty burglar and could not fool the
police, so he was run down to the sta
ton and made to try on the suit, which
was found an excellent fit, and effected

pledged the police not to let any re-
porter get hold of it. 1t is innate,
shrinking mOdesty that causes these
parties to shun the public light in their
little mishaps.

SOME DON'T NEED 1T.

When times become little close. and
the look ahead is not altogether assur-
ing, the standard advice is to cut down
the expenditures-be more economical.
That is always good counsel for those
who do not have little balance on the
right side every year. In the abstract,
economy looks like good thing, and it
is possible that some need to have it i'm
pressed upon them. Still, it depends a
good deal upon circumstances whether
it is virtue to be inculcated. 1t means
cutting down expenses. The man who
lives on an avenue with more income
than he spends concludes that he must
economic. If he is employing four or
five men about his premises he will re-
duce the number to one. If his wife
keeps several sewing girls they will be
reduced one-half. The BIC railroad has
a little trouble to keep up its dividends
and the plethoric salaries of its officers,
and a great number of men are turned
out of employment. This economy

streak runs along all the business lines,
consequently there is no chance for the
people thrown out by economy to gain
other employment. They have little or
no means of subsistence to fall back on,
and are not in need of any precepts of
retrenchment. Somehow wealthy peo-
pie and high livers are most apt to do
their economizing at the expense of
labor, and not in the costly Injuries
that minister to their appetites or COM
fort. 1t always makes dull times in a
community when there is q prevalent
movement to economic. Things move
off most actively and smoothly i'll a
town where the people are not eager to
save what they gain, but spend it freely
and help other people to get along.
Economy don't want to be taken gener-
ally. like whisky and quinine, for fear
OF the grip. Some don't need it.

church member is more of q bar to the
progress Of religion than the saloon, or,
for that matter, all the evil influences
of the world combined. 1t is because
of the position the rascally church
member occupies in the sight of the
world. If the churches would adopt q
strieter discipline relating to member

numbers so as to include godly persons

the membership by admitting the I'M

the obstacles the world presents.

CAN BE DONE:

The preacher who, in the discussion
of the Sunday paper met the statement
that it was the Monday issue that In
yolVed Sunday labor with the theory
that this could be avoided by preparing
the Monday paper for the press Satur-
day night, was. perhaps not aware that
the feasibility Of that plan had been
tested. Before the war the Sunday issue
was almost entirely unknown. Only
here and there VIGOROUSLY wicked
sheet appeared every day in the week.
In many cases the Monday morning
paper was put in type Saturday. One
such instance is recalled of a daily
paper among the most prominent and
influential in one Of the largest Western
states. Work on the Monday issue
was substantially ended by o'clock on
Saturday night. The paper was made
ready for the press, and the office
locked up, not to be opened
again till early Monday morning. Ii
was in the era when the incidents that
led to the war were taking hold Of the
public mind, and there was eager
anxiety for the latest news. This forced
a partial letting down of the high stand
ard of the paper recalled. If reports of
any exciting event came to hand on
Sunday, the editor would hunt UP some
of the printers after Sunday school, and
open the pages for few lines of MARIA
ton. Bright and early on Monday the
paper was out with its history of the
world for day. A suspicion of being
slow might have contributed to the final
demise of that sheet, but it left an ex-
ample. Perhaps an imitator now would
find favor and support with those who
see "a viper' III the Sunday issue. They
would no doubt enjoy the two-day-o Id
seasoned news at their Monday morning
breakfast. Perhaps they do lot even
read of Sunday events.

Relics From Chicago.

The parties who bought Libby prison
and took it to Chicago to exhibit seem
to have made a good speculation; over
100000 people have visited it in three
months. Some st. Paul young ladies
who took it in on a recent visit to the
Lake City. brought back grips padded
with pine chunks that had constituted
a part of the structure. They will
treasure these and hand them down to
posterity as interesting relics. One of
them seemed to the possessor to have
marks of blood on it. Some inmate
had evidently murdered some of the
cIawlers that used to infest people in
such places. There can easily be sup
ply of such relics as long as there are
old pineIboards and sticks in Chicago.
The war museum in the building is full
of objects of interest, most of which are
not being given away or sold, as the
supply cannot be kept up. as in the
case of the building. The value of
mostrelics is in the label on them. If
that is credited the sentiment comes
along all right.

EX-Secretary Along Fifth avenue
meet very frequently
Bristow's ex-Secretary B. II.
BristOW. writes New
Career. York Star man. he is
a large, portly man,
with great. round face, upon which is
written the signs of courage and firm
ness. He has aged very much since he
was secretary of the treasury in Grants
cabinet. Yet, the exercise he takes
in walking up and down town
from his law Office keeps him
strong and vigorous. Had it not
been for an accident Mr.. Bristow might
have been president of the United
States, but he happened to be placed
an unenyiable position with a great
man who was the idol of the American
people. This fact would probably not
have injured him had it not been that
Gen. Grants enemies, who called
themselves reformers. lit upon Bris-
tow as presidential candidate
against the man in whose cabinet he
was serving. As usual these Re-
formers made good deal of trouble;
but for no one as much as for BriStOw.
They put him in false position before
the American people and before bis
chief. They made the discharge of his
plain duty menace against Gen. Grant.
So when Bristow left the cabinet, faint
ed with their venom, and came to New
York to practice law, great part of
the country looked upon him as man
who had secretly betrayed his master.
Coming from the greatest whisky dis
trict in the United States Bristow had
well-defned suspicious of frauds upon
+ the revenue before he had the power
to grapple with them. When he
was made secretary he began to
lay his plans to destroy the whisky
ring. This action brought him into
high official circles and provoked great
scandal. The enemies of Gen. Grant
seized upon this action, made Bristow a
presidential candidate, and started him
on the road to political destruction.
Bristow was fair and faithful all the
way around; but those who used him
were not. He destroyed the whisky
ring, and his friends" de-
stroyed him. He left public life
at the end of his term in disgust,
and instead of returning to Kentucky,
he came to New York to practice law,
quitting public life forever. He has
plodded along, making money, and pre-
serving dignified silence through all
the misrepresentation that followed
that memorable presidential contest of
1876, when Hayes was nominated for
the presidency, and he went out of
power.

that organization as an incentive to

The jury in the Clemens Muller breach
of promise suit in New York found a
verdict of $4,000 for Miss Cammerer,

in the morning sun as the verdict was
rendered. Not sign of heart fracture
was visible. That $4,000 HAD more pos
sibilities of bliss than the ocean of
KISSES the aged lover sent her. The
peculiar feature of the case was that
an award fO1 breach of promise was
had although the contracting lady knew
that her lover had wife in an asylum
from whom he had not obtained a di-
vorce. The new marriage was to take
place after the divorce was had. This
was not obtained, and still the jury held
that the woman had good case. OF
course she had no right to love another
woman's husband, but it was probably
a prospective heart movement. The
love was to flow from the date of the di-
vorce. On the whole, it doesn't seem
just the thing for young woman to
agree to marry man until she Is quite
sure he can get rid of his wife.

One of the scientific cranks who are
always hunting up things to make peo-
pie uncomfortable. has found that milk
induces insanity. The mental unbal-
ance has a proportion to the use of
milk. Typhoid fever, winter cholera
and other diseases are due to water,
wine induces Bright's disease, beer
makes people fit for the soap barrel,
tea and coffee shatter the nerves,
whisky brings snakes into the boots
and milk sends people to the lunatic
asylum. The only safety seems to be
in not drinking at all. But eating is
nearly as bad, as little can be known of
the constituents of the culinary ele-
mentS.

which must come sooner OF later,
and think that the government must
furnish it. That would be the best
way, because if left to private

sands of acres will be left unproductive.
1t would cost the government a good
deal of money for the plant, of course,
possibly $1,000. 100000, to insure a faiI
distribution of water, but it would pay.
The first thing to be done would be
to locate great basins, which would be
distributing reservoirs. This would be
good business policy for the govern

Sketch of Gen f. n. Finney, of Mil
Waukee, formerly gem
eraI Man eral manager of the
Wisconsin Central rail-
ager Finney. way, one of the ableSt
railroad men in the
| country, is in this city for few days,
| says Philadelphia paper. Mr.. Finney
began his railroad career as rodman,
| and was soon frst-class engineer. He
| first came into prominence as chief en-
| gineer of the Canada Southern railway,
which he constructed far better than
any railroad in America at that day.
Later he was superintendent of several
important roads, and in 1873 was made
general manager of the Wisconsin Cen
| tral. At that time the road consisted Of
two StreakS of rust and q stumpy
right-of-Way between two interior
Wisconsin towns. 1t was bank
rupt, and its gross earnings were but
81 per mile per day. When Mr.. Finney
resigned. in 1888, when the road was
amalgamated with the Northern Pacific,
it consisted of trunk line from
Chicago to Milwaukee, st. Paul
and Minneapolis, with the best ter
minal facilities in those cities of any Of
the numerous lines. The road also ran
to Ashland, on Lake Superior, and to
many important points, all of it being
constructed in fiTSt-class manner. Mr..
Finney was his own chief engineer,
and personally superintended every de-
tail of cOnStru elton from the first shovel
of earth to the furnishing of the dining
cars.
He is considered to be the best au-
thOritY on the physical aspects of a rail-
road in this country. He is constantly
called upon to inspect railroads and
make reports thereon. He recently fin
ished the inspection of the Atch-
isOn, Topeka I'& Santa Fe railroad,
and it was upon this report that the res
organization scheme was based. Since
retireing from the Wisconsin Central
he has constantly refused the most flat
tering offers of important posi-
after many years OF hard work,
and devotes his spare time to
such expert work as he can be induced
to undertake. No man is considered q
higher authority on such matters i'll this
country, and on recent visit to Eu-
rope he spent two years in thoroughly
examining their railroad systems.
Mr.. Finney is son Of the celebrated
Rev. G. G. Finney, president of Oberlin
college, whom he i'll no wise resembles
physically speaking. He looks about
fOrty-tWO, but is much older, Just
how much no one has ever
been able to find out, for he has
the health, humor and good spirits of
youth. He is accompanied by his wife,
q very beautiful woman, who is q leader
in Milwaukee society. Their home in
that city is one of the mott beautiful in
the west. They go south from here to
spend the winter months.

GOSSIP ABOUT GREAT MEN.

How Jay Jay Cooke was walk
Ing in the corridor of
Cooke Looks. the Fifth Avenue hotel
last night, says New
York writer. He is a very old man
now. and has seen a great deal of the
shadow and sunshine Of life. Yet he is
contented, cheerful and rich. He is a
striking character. He dresses more
like farmer than a great finaucier, and
his SLOUGH hat and white Whiskers give
him very picturesque appearance.
MIR. Cooke was born up at SanduSky,
on Lake Erie, and was brought to
Washington from the obscurity of this
Ohio town by Salmon P. Chase to take
part in placing our first national loans
during the war. He at once became a
great financial power at the national
capital, and no man has ever lived in
this country who has at one time and
its fiscal affairs than did Jay Cooke for
number of years. The Northern Pa
citic railroad, which was his pet prof.
ect, ruined him; but those who took
his advice and stood by the road got
their entire investments back, with 10
per cent interest, inside of ten years.
MIR. Cooke was an old man when failure
overlook him in 1874. Yet he has made
a great fortune since that time. He
owns the railroad running from Carlisle
to Gettysburg, Pa, and has other large
corporate interests. While he has
given up banking, he is still a
power in financial circles, and
takes a lively interest in all none
tary affairs. He lives just outside of
Philadelphia on beautiful estate kept
by his son-in-law. 1t is within stones
throw of "OgontZ," that magnificent
palace and countryseat which Mr..
Cooke occupied when he failed. That
has now passed into other hands, and is
used as swell young ladies' school,
probably one of the most expensive in
stitutions of the kind in the country.
Thus Mr.. Cooke is living among the
scenes he loved so well while the lead
ing banker of the country, and amid the
evidences of his own work and taste.
