By the death of James Redpath mod
ern journalism has lost one Of its pio-
neers. Mr.. Redpath used to claim that
he was the first interviewer. II started
the practice Of interviewing many years
ago" he remarked to me a few weeks
ago, ''in the columns of The Boston Ad-
vertiser. Ny first interview was widely
discussed, and my plan was immediate
ly initiated by Editor Dana, of The Sun,
who the day after my interview ap-
peared sent out a corps of writers to in
terview the leading men Of the day on
various topics. In my career since that
time have written hundreds Of inter
views, and have learned from them a
few lessons which have been Of use 10
me.
In the first place, my experience has
taught me that It is impossible for an
interviewer TO report the exact words Of
the person whom he is interviewing. He
is obliged by the condition under which
he works to misrepresent. or rather to
fall into inaccuracies, verbal or other
wise, with regard 10 what has been said
to him. Consequently. whenever a rep
resentative of the press comes to inter
view me, and | nave been interviewed
many times, l always insist upon writ
ing out the interview in my own hand,
and | am thus sure of being reported
correctly"
Mr.. Redpath's career is an illustration
Of the fine training which journalism
gives to ono who after practising it en-
tiers upon purely literary work. Much
Of his success IA a magazine editor was
doubtless due to his experience IA a
newspaper writer. Mr.. Redputh was
Allen Thorndyke Rice's right hand man
during the period when Rice was lifting
up The North American Review from
the comparative obscurity into which it
had fallen to renewed success, and to
his ability much Of the present popular
ity Of the review is due. 1t is known
that Mr.. Redpath wrote most. if not all,
of the articles which appeared over
Rice's name, for though he may have
furnished the ideas he was not "A literary

Character from the Fingers.

As far as the fingers are concerned,
experts in palmistry divide hands into
three classes, Long, slender, tapcring
fingers determine the first, and denote
delicate, trained perceptions. A subject
with such fingers has an innate fondnes5
for art, poetry, music and the higher
forms Of literature. In the second class,
the fingers are shorter, are nearly equal
in length, and have blunt ends. They
denote a practical, material mind, thor
ough and reliable, rather than brilliant.
A woman with such fingers would make
a careful and efficient houselSeeper, and
a man with similar ones would be eau
tious and thorough in business. In the
third class, the fingers are short, thick
and square, and have short, large nails,
with cushions on each side of the nails.
A subject having these fingers is active,
athletic, opinionated. selfish, has strong
apDetites for the material things of life,
ana is liable to form strong preiudices.

institution, and has had the management
of its assets since that time. The stock
holders were informed that the stock
was worthless. Some sold their holdings
for a song and others kept what they
had because nobody would huy it. A

recently, at which the receiver announced
that he had been offered 81 600 900 for

The percentage will bear no comparison

But after all these expressions Of in
dignation one is still tempted To inquire
whether society, and good society, is en-
tirely free from some of the charges which
DR.. RAIDER, with emotional and We believe
i'll proportioned zeal, has laid al its doors?
Does anyone mean to assert that there Is
no drinking at halls and assemblies Of
men and women or that it is confined ex-
clusively to men? Do they mean to assert
that the examples sometimes SIT in this

A document which was filed in the reg

wearing ovsr.lroe. in Dry weather.


l have noticed during the dry walking
many persons using '.rubbers," as if
the streets retained the mud and slush.
| look upon the alteration of these
wearers of rubbers as a result of yield
ing to the influences of a bad practice.
For myself, whenever l have worn rub
bers under stress of weather, 1 have been
only too glad to cast them off at the
first favorable opportunity; but many
persons persist in keeping them on even
at places Of amusement, where they feel
particularly oppressive from the high
temperature. This tamely yielding to
the arbitrary influence of an uncomfort-
able article of dress should be a warning
against letting habit get the advantage
of principle in such matters.
l have heard that in some places in
New England, where the winters cold is
ordinarily severe, 'arctics' are a feature
of indoor gayeties, and that the Port
land Fancy" Gan the Way to Boston"
and similar dances are executed under
the disadvantages of these incumber-
ances. Such experiences should be
needed by wearers of ''rubbers" in dry
weather, lest they fall under the control
of these oppressive foot coverings, and
perhaps be obliged to wear them to bed.

The Indians fought desperate, Ia..ii

was no more conspicuous than that
which was transformations displayed by
some Of the soldiers. Perhaps the most
remarkable case was that of Private

He did fire once or twice more, and then
he tainted from loss of blood and was
taken to the rear.
Sergt. Tritle. of f troop, has what
some people call grit. His first wound
was in his left hand, and a minute or
two later he got another bad one in the
hip. That would nave satisfied the
average warrior, but the sergeant was
not inclined to retire. Just then Sergt.
Nettles was killed almost at Tritle's side.
Tritle saw the Indian who fired the fatal
shot, and although his own left hand
was shattered, and blood was pouring
steadily from his hip, he said, I'll get
that Indian" He did, and an instant
later a hostile bullet penetrated his left
breast. Il guess I'll get these wounds
dressed now" was his faint remark as

We consider the statement Of Rev, DR.,

it may be true as the result Of his observa

ton than it is to assert that one swallow

universally true Of this state that the
sight OF an intoxicated person is a rarity
