Newspaper Brides.


j. G.. Holland, in one of his novels, drew
a caricature of a newspaper man who, after
interviewing a rich rascal, cooly pooketed
$40 as the price of writing him up favora-
bly,. As a carionture such a man might do
very we'll, but too many might be inclined
to take him for a type. There are such
newspaper men; fewer now than ten years
ago, but they are very scarce.
There is folly as well as knavery In offer
ing money to a reporter. Even surprising
him a soamp-which he isn't-he hasn't the
power to alter tho policy of the paper. He
hasn't even the power to suppress news
without running the risk of dismissal for
getting "beaten'' by other papers.
Yet the folly is committed. A physician
of some repute once endeavored to slip a
crisp bill into the hand of a reporter whom
T knew.
"Give my paper n good show, cant't you?'
he whispered. 1t was ut a medical conven-
ton.
The reporter held up his hand with the
hill upon it in the sight of all, then slowly
tilted it till the bill slid off to the floor
when he remarked with a Chesterfieldian
air. 'Sir, my profession has Il code OF
ethics, If yours has mott

A Brooklyn Maecenas.

Joseph F. Knapp, whose fatal illness in
Paris has been announced, has been known
for years as a self-made man, who was ex-
oeptional in retaining a keen interest in
those less fortunate or less persistent. Per-
haps he held in peculiarly kindly regard ar
fists of all kinds. His own business was
lithograpy, the photographer painter,
Sarony, having been at one time his part
ner. His home in Brooklyn is, in spite of
it's plain exterior, one of the most attract
i've in tho country. Pictures of merit line
the walls and there is fine frescoing and de-
tail work everywhere. The browning glory
of the place is the music room, which was
built some dozen years ago, during Mrs.
Knapp's absence in Europe, and awaited
here as q complete surprise upon her
return. The room is in the form of an oc-
tagon, with high ceiling and columned fres-
coed sides. A fine pipe organ, a grand
piano and all name of smaller musical
instruments are here gathered. Mrs.
Knapp is a composer of merit and has
taken the keenest delight in the room.
Here, too, have come, from time to time.

them. But his mine was twenty miles from
railroad or telegraph. Without 30 much as
a change of clothing he stayed in New Yorl
three days, sleeping in Bowery lodging
houses and living on air. Then, in despair
OF delayed re~mittances, he appealed again
to a stranger and was promptly provided
for the journey to his fathers home in the

Ex-Gov. John McEnery died on Saturday in

was practicing law at the breaking out of the

OF the fourth Louisiana. and was twice wounded,
the last wound incapacitating him for further
service. He was elected district Judge and a
member Of the first legislature after the war,

In 1872 Judge McEnery was the democratic
candidate for governor. He was elected on the
face of the returns by q popular majority Of
1000, but the republican returning board
counted him out and Kellogg in and was sus-
tanned by the United States court
For the next four years Louisiana had two
governors, McEnery and Kellogg, and great
confusion In consequence. In 1873 the McEn-
cry forces made an attack on the supreme court
building, but were defeated. In September,
1874, the Kellogg government was overthrown
and McEnery installed a. governor, but only
for Q few days, the United States troops restor-

came governor. Since then Gov. McEnery
filled several important positions and practiced
law in New Orleans and In Washington.
