NO SQUARE SHAKE.
Tobe Did Not Have Time to Lose
His Whiskers.

Tobe Wilson, who enjoys the distinc-
tion OF being the king of tramps, ar
rived in this city yesterday on fast
freight brake-beam. About month
since the police received letter from
Tobe couched in his best language. "I
want the Los Angeles police to give me
a square shake" wrote the genial Tobe,
"the next time l reach Los Angeles"
The police did not give Tobe the
square shake he asked for. He had not
enjoy ed the balmy breeze of Los Angeles
city more than two hours before Detec-
tive Bowler took possession of him and
steered him to the city prison. Tobe
had some little trinkets which he was
trying to change into cash. 'This is
hard luck" said Tobe. 81 had a
chance to get enough money for a
square meal and get my whiskers exca-
vated, when 1 am run in"

THE SUPERVISORS.
S. v. Waldron Bobs Up Again With
His Mileage.


The board of supervisors yesterday
heard testimony in regard to the de-
mand put in by S. V. Waldron for mile
age fees while in attendance on the SUI
perior court as term trial Juror, and,
acting under an opinion from the dis
trict attorney, refused to allow the de-
mand.
Mr.. Waldron asks for $342.40 for six
teen days fees. His place of residence is
given as Antelope valley, distance OF
10S miles. He did not travel the dis
tance except on the first day of his at
tendance, and, as stated in yesterdays
HERALD, it is on this ground that the
district attorney holds that the demand
should not be allowed.
The matter will undoubtedly be taken
to the courts before settlement is

British Cuiana,s Gold Exports.

The exports of gold from British Guiana
between the LIST of January and the 1st of
August last amounted to 52,2s6 ounces, of
a value of 1881. l.432, United States gold.
This is an increase of s6S,s47 over the ex.

Most of this gold is obtained in that por-

The rules laid down in books of etiquette
may seem preposterously elaborate n alb
surd to the denizens of cities and to thoss
who have had the manual of society at their
fingers ends from childhood, but they again
may be like the grammar of An unknown

has been spent in seclusion or a rustic neigh
borhood. Az it is the aim Of this unpre-
tending volume to assist such young people,
a few hints to young mon coming fresh
from life on the plains or from an eastern
or western college, from any life which has
separated them from the society Of ladies,
may not be considered impairment.
young man on coming into a great city,
or into a new place where he ia not known,
should try to bring a few letters of intro
duction. If he can bring such a letter to
any lady of good social position he has
nothing further to do but deliver it, and 4
she takes him up and introduces him his
social position is made.
But this good fortune cannot be oom-
manded always or often. Young men
often pass through q lonely life in =

But to some it comes through a friend

dltiOn,

dltion.
New Yoax, May 2. - business is large In
volume, and sustained by general conf
dence M TO the future. II is an encourag-
ing symptom that the market for bread
stuffs has broken, and wheat Ia nearly six
cents por bushel lower than a week ago.
oats two cents, and corn ono and onc-hnlf
cents lower. The failure ind disappear
ance of the most conspicuous trader at Chi
cago makes ii probable that the market
may hereafter represent moro nearly tho
legitimate trade. Wheat and -four exports
from Atlantic ports continue far behind
those OF last year, and while reports of for
eign crop prospects are not favorable, there
Is really no reason to anticipate any short
nRe or unusual demand from abroad, prior
TO the close Of ths current crop year. Tho
possible demand next year has to meet il
and exceptionally favorable crop outlook.
Ihe reporta of trade at other cities are on
the whole more favorable than a week ago.
Boston finds general business better,
though tho sales Of wool are comparatively
small. Milder weather has helped retail
trade, and while the leather trade is quiet,
boot and shoe jobbers receive more encour-
aRinH reports, and hope for an active fall
demand. At Chicago Hour receipts are
smaller than a year ago and grain receipts
about the same, but ~increase appears in
cured meats, lard. butter, dressed beef and
about B per cent. in wool. Sales of dry
goods are at least equal to last years, with
very satisfactory payments in that branch,
in shoes and in clothing.
Trade at other western and southern
points seems to be especially encouraging
this week. Better weather helps at almost
all western points, and at Milwaukee trade
was never better, at Omaha and st. Paul
very fair, at Minneapolis -four is dull but
the lumber trade ia active, and at Omaha
fair weather helps business. Trade ia quiet
at Kansas City, but improving at Louis
vile. Nashville and Atlanta, with decided
strength at st. Louis, though for the week
barely fair at New Orleans.
There has been some financial irritation
during the week, owing to the statements
made by Mr.. Leach. director of the mint,
rs If by authority Of the treasury depart
ment, and the later statement by Secretary
Foster has not entirely removed the feeling
of apprehension. The treasury has but lit
tie money available to meet any emergency
in the money market. and has paid out
but little during the past week. But gold
continues to 60 abroad in rather large
amounts, and while the collapse in specula-
ton in wheat tends to help exports, it is
possibly too late to nave much effect at
present. Merchandise exports from New
York continue much larger thar a year ago,
but imports are also remarkably large, and

ing the best ladies' society. He should
seek to do so, and perhaps the simplest
way would be for him to ask some friend
to take him about and to introduce him.
Once introduced Tilden should be particu-
lar not to transcend the delicate outlines OF
social EutfranCe. He must not immediately
rush into an intimacy,
A call should never be too long. One
hour Is all that a woman of the world saws
should be granted to a caller. This rule
is a good one for an evening visit. 1t il
much better to nave ones hostess wishing
for a longer visit than to have her sigh that
you should 20.
In a first visit a gentleman should alw avs
send in his card. After that he may dis
pense with that cermony.
A gentlemen for an evening visit should
always be in evening dress, black cloth
linen, fine white cravat. silk stockings and
polished low shoes. A black orsyat is psr.
missable, but it is not full dress. He should
carry a crush hat in his hand,
and a cane if he likes. For a din
ner party a white cravat is indis-
No jewelry Of any kind is fashionable ex-
ceptinR rings. Men oan hide their watch
chains in evening dress.
The hands should be especially cared for,
the nails carefully. out and trimmed. No
matter how big or how red the hand ia, the
more masculine the better. Women like
men to look manly, as if they could drive,
row., play cricket, PEI baps handle the
gloves"
A gentleman's dress should be SO quiet
and 10 perfect that it will not excite remark
or attension. Thnokery used to advise that
a watering pot should be applied TO a new
hat to take off the gloss. The suspicion of
being dressed up defeats an otherwise
good toilette.
We will suppose that Tilden becomes suf-
fciently we'll acquainted to be asked to
join n theater party. He must be punctual
at the rendezvous and take whatever part
ner the hostess may give him. but in the
east he must not Offer to send a carriage.
That must come from the eiver of the
party. In this, eastern and western oti-
uuette are At variancs, as in certain cities
west mi south a gentleman ia expected to
call in Il carriage and take a young lady to
a party. This would DO ruin in Europe, nor
IL 1t allowed in Boston or New York. If.
however, Tilden wishes to give II theater
party. he must furnish everything. lie
first asked a lady to chaperon his party.
He must arrange that all shall meet at his
room or a frisnd's house. lie must charter
nm omnibus or send carriages for the whole
party: no must buy tho tickets. ne ia then

Az \ Dali a young man can ask n friend

No man should go into a supper room

"To got on in society" involves so much
that can never DO written down, that any
manual ia, Of course, imperfect, for no one
can predict who shall succeed and who shall
fail. Bold n arrogant people, 'ohesky"
people, succeed at first, modest ones in the
long run. 1t is n melancholy fact that the
most Objectionable persons do get into
fashionable society. II il to be feared that
the possession of wealth is moro desired
than the possession Of any other attribute,
that much is forgiven the rich man which
would be rank heresy to the poor one:
We would not, however, advise Tilden to
choose his friends from the worldly point,
simply, either of fashion or wealth. He
should try to find those who are we'll tred,
good, true, honorable and generous.
Wherever they are, such people are always
good society.
In the ranks of society, however, we find
sometimes the ideal gentleman. Society
may not have produced 80 good 4 crop as It
should have done. yet its false aims, its
Rllttering ~friezes, have not yet dnzzled all
men out of the true, the ideal, breeding,
There are many cubs, but there are some
admirable criohtons-men who can think,
read, study, work, and still be fashionable.
A man should go through the ferco fires
of social competition and yet not be
scorched. All men have not had that fine
repressive training which makes our navy
and army men such gentlemen. The breed
ing OF young men of fashion is not what
their grandfathers would have called good.
They sometimes have a severe and bored
expression when called on to give up a
selfish pleasure. One asks where are their
manners?"
Breeding, cultivation, must
start from the heart. They must be fos-
tered and the dancing master added on.

admirable customs Of young gentlemen OF
the present day. II every one of them, no

If Tilden can afford to keep a tilbury or

ter for him. He can take a young girl TO
drive If her mamma consents, but a servant
should sit behind. That is Indispensable,
and the livery, the whole arrangement,
should be elegant. Tilden, if he would sue
coed, must not be dashy, and as true re-
hnement comes from within let him read
tho noble description of Thackeray:
"What is it to be a gentleman? Is il to be
honest, to DO gentle, to be generous, to be
true to be brave, to be wise. and possessing
all these qualities to exercise them in the
most gentle manner? Ought a gentleman to
be q loyal son, a true husband and honest
father3 Ought his life to be decent, his
bills 70 be paid, his tastes to be high and
elegant? Yes. q Thousand times. yss!"
Young men who come to a great city to live
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-05-10

are sometimes led astray by the success of
gaudy adventurers who do not fall within
the lines of the above defcription, men who
get on by means of enormous impudence,
self assurance, audacity and plausible
ways. "
But if they have patience and hold to the
right the gentleman will succeed aud the
adventuIer will fail. No such man lasts
long. Give him rope enough II he will
soon hang himself. 1t ia not necessary here
to refer to the etiquette of clubs. They are
self protecting. A man soon learns their
rules and limitations. A man of honesty
and character seldom gets into difficulty at
his CLUB. II his club rejects or pronounces
against him, however, it is a social stigma
which it ia hard to wipe out. A
young man should lose no opportuni-
ty OF improving himself. There is n
ine instruction in works of art. He
should read and study in his leisure hours
and frequent picture galleries and museums.
A young nan becomes the most agreeable
of companions if he brings q keen, fresh
intelligence, refined tastes and n desire to
be agreeable into society.
Success in society is like electricity. 1t
makes itself felt and is vet unseen and in
describable. There is such a thing az an
absurd success with little merit behind it.
But we generally fine that men have worked
very hard for this kind of success.
1t is a nice thing if IA man has some ac-
complishment, suoh as music or a pleasant
trick Of elocution. and to be a good dancer
Ia almost Indispensable. Yet q man gets on
without any of these.
