PUBLIC MEN AND THE PRESS.
Statesmen of England Do Not Get Before
the Pubic So Easily as Americans.

Statesmen of England Do Not Get Before
the Pubic So Easily as Americans.
While travelling through the United
States, says Sir Edwin Arnold in the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat, have found it i'm
possible to avoid an almost mental COM
parison between the leading newspapers of
your principal cities and those of London
and the largest English towns. It is anus
ing to an English editor TO see how much
more readily a public man gets his views
before the public here than in England. In
the latter country interviewing, as under
stood here, is very little practiced, and in
deed the law of libel is so compiled that it
would be scarcely safe to give free utter
ance to public expressions there as it is
done here The result is that when a men,
Der of Parliament wishes to set himself
right before the public he either goes down
to his constituency and delivers an address
or writes letter to one of the leading
papers.
The former plan is the more popular and
the British practice of giving public dim
ner, or banquet, on the smallest possible
pretext, provides innumerable opportuni-
ties. On the other hand, a public man in
England had a great advantage over Sena-
tor or Congressman in this country, owing
to the very complete manner in which Par
liamentary debates are reported. In the
United States the Congressional Record seems
to be relied upon for full reports of pro-
ceedings, while in England the London
dailies print several columns every morning
when Parliament is in session, and report
all speeches of any Importance in full So
closely is this rule adhered to that the COM
plexion of great London daily is very diff
ferent during the session from what it is
during the autumn and winter.

A TRAGEDY IN THE PARLOR

That Is, the Girl Judged There Would Be
One From Her Lovers Manner.
"Laura," said George, with an eager, rest
less yearning in his gaze, "may ask favor
of you, dear?'
They had sat in the darkened parlor for
hours, in the eloquent communion Of soul
with soul that needs no articulate sound to
give it language, says the Chicago 7ri6a'n<
But something impelled George to speak.
The longing that surged up from his very
heart must find expression in words. There
fore he had spoken.
''What is it, George" she whispered.
at may involve some sacrifice on your
part, darling. But believe me, Laura, 1t Is
for the best?'
"What is it, George?" she repeated, in
voice that trembled as if with vague fore
boding of coming disaster.
''You will believe me, dearest" he said,
with an agitation becoming every momens
more uncomfortable, "when say that I am
driven to ask it by circumstances over which
I have no control, that have pondered long
over it, and am not acting from hasty i'm
pulse?"
''Yesl yes!" the beautiful young girl e1-
claimed, with quivering lips "What is It
you ask, George? What is it?"
Darling" he said, and the wild, implor-
ing look in his face thrilled her to the in
most depths of her being, 81 wish you
would sit on the other knee awhile. This
one is getting horribly tired!'

Cannot complain that he smarts Of it.
Or, in other words, if turn the draught
on yon, don't complain of the heat.
Mr.. Depew told good story the other
day of the late Horace Greeley. Mr..
Greeley used to hold his head down over
his desk, and was very impatient of being
disturbed while he was writing One day
man came in and said: "Mr. Greeley"
The veteran editor paid no attention, and
the man concluded to go on with his mes
sage. "Mr. Greeley" he said, 1--WE want
your subscription of $500 in furtherance of
plan to prevent men from going to the
place of eternal torment"
Without looking up, Mr.. Greeley replied:
"Won't give cent toward it; there amt
enough people there now"
Talking of eternal torment reminds me
of several anecdotes 1. lately heard about
certain complications of married life! One
gentleman, whose mother-in-law was in the
habit of visiting him very often, was dis
covered by her one. day in a very blue frame
of mind The mother-in-law said, 'What's
the matter, John?"
He said: 81 was Just thinking you will
never visit us again.

are looking for a short fat one, l do not
think that it is very probable that they will
catch him. It is best, I think, that these
little family matters should be adjusted in
private"
"My dear ma am" said the Admiral, ''if
1t is indeed this mans money that has
bought back my pension then can have no
scruples about takingit You have brought
sunshine upon us, ma am, when the clouds
were at their darkest, for here is my boy

thanking you, can't even
''Thcn pray don't try" said the widow.
"Now run away, Admiral, and make your
peace with Mrs. Denver. I am sure II
were she, it would be a long time before l
should forgive you. As for me, am going
to America when Charles goes; You'll
take me SO far, won't you Ida? There is a
college being built in Denver which is to
equip the woman of the future for the
struggle of life, and especially for
her battle against man. Some months
ago the . committee offered me a
responsible situation upon the staff, and l
have decided now to accept it, for Charles
marriage removes the last tie which binds
me to England You will write to me
sometimes, my friends, and you will address
your letters to Prof Westmacott, Eman-
cipation College, Denver. From there I
shall watch how the glorious struggle goes
in conservative old England, and if am
needed you will find me here again fighting
in the forefront of the fray. Goodby-b but
not to you, girls. I have still word L
wish to say to you"

''Oh, you naughty little pusses, aren't you
ashamed to look me in the face? Did you

very blind and could not see your little
plot? You did it very well, 1 must say
that, and really I think that 1 like you bet

for nothing, you little conspirators, for I
give you my word that I had quite made up
my mind not to have him."

Kindness Where Least Expected.

find, generally. that the masses of the
people, wherever you find them, are an1-
ious to be kind to little folks. I saw an in
cdent of it last summer just before q great
match game of ball at which about 10000
people were present. Crane, the great
pitcher and athlete, before the game COM
menced, was pitching the ball to the little
''mascot," hardly six years old, who accom-
panied the team. The crowd looked on and
every time the little fellow made good hit
they applauded him and cheered him Just as
though he had been professional. 1t was
small thing, but it showed the kindness
of heart on the part of the people and [ have
noticed it in many other instances
Even "toughs" are kind-hearted when
you strike them right. A certain doctor,
living in East Fifty-third street, was called
to see patient late at night. At lone
some spot he was "held up" by two men
who demanded his watch and money.
'tBoys," he said, ''put down your pistols I
have only watch and a two-dollar bill in
my pocket. Let me reason with you. I
have been called out from warm bed, to
the bedside of a poor girl. Look in my bag
and see my doctors implements. They will
show you that what say is true. I will
go to the corner and treat with the So if
you will let me keep my watch and go to
the sick girl afterward."
'sNo," said one of them. "You 20 to the
girl and make your call and we will take
the treat afterward." The doctor went on,
and returned as he agreed, treated the men
and saved his watch. This is true story.

Getting Women to Sit Down,

Do you want to know how to make ladies
sit down in front of you at theater or
other public performance at an important
part of the proceedings? All you have to
do is to say, will the beautiful lady stand
ing in front please sit DOWN." Generally
about % will sit down right away.
Sometimes my audiences out West are
surprised at the small size of the lecturer,
and sometimes I must confess that the lee
turer is surprised at the small size of the
audience. In those cases am always glad
if it rains, for then can make use of that
incident to excuse the smallness of the house.
I heard the other day of an entertainer who
had but one man in the audience. He went
on with his lecture, without noticing, ap-
parently, the small size of his audience.
Finally he took out his watch and said, "I
shall conclude in few minutes" where
upon the audience said, 81 don't care how
soon you're through, for I'm the cabman
who brought you here"

dressing jacket, daintily pulled at the neck
and sleeves.
'My dear friend" said she as he entered,
''I wish to make a last few remarks to you.
No, no, she continued, laughing as she
saw a look of dismay on his face. 81 shall
not dream of dying for at least another 80
years. A woman should be ashamed to die
before she is 20. I wish, Clara, that you
would ask your father to step up. And
you, Ida, just pass me my cigarettes, and
open me bottle of stout -

some very plain speaking to-
'"Pon my word, ma'am, I don't know
what you are talking about"
''The idea OF you, at your age, talking OF
going to sea, and leaving thst dear patient
little wife of yours at home, who has seen
nothing of you all your life. It's all very
well for you. You have the life, and the
change, and the excitement, but you don't
think of her eating her heart out In dreary
London lodging. You men are all the
same"

Mrs Westmacott produced large regis
tered envelope from beneath the sheets aud
tossed it over to the old seaman.
THAT excuse won't do. There are your
pension papers. just see if they are right.
He broke the seal, and ont tumbled the
very papers which he had made over to
McAGam two DAYS before.
''But what am do to with these now?"
he cried in bewilderment.
''You will put them in q safe place, or
get friend TO do so, and if you do your
duty, you will go to your wife and beg her
pardon for having even for an instant
thought of leaving her."
The Admiral passed his hand over his
rugged forehead. "This is very good of
you, ma'am," said he, every good and
kind, and know that you are a staunch
friend, but for all that these papers mean
money, and though we may have been in
broken water of late. we are not quite in
such straits as to have to signal to our
friends. When we do, ms'am, there's no
one we would look to sooner than to you. !"
"Don't be ridiculousr' said the widow.
''You know nothing whatever about it, and
vet you stand there laying down the law.
I'll have my way in the matter, and you
shall take the papers, for it is no favor
that am doing you, but simply restora-

THEFT OF HAYES MESSAGE

The Story of q Combination of Three News
papers and Printer.
The last message of President Hayes was
purchased from the thief by combination
consisting of the New York Times, Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette and the Chicago
Times. On the afternoon of the Saturday
before the Monday on which the message
was to be placed in the hands of Congress
the correspondent of the New York Times
was sitting in his Office on the Row reading
the evening paper. A young man, but
slightly known as a newspaper correspond
ent, walked in and asked in iocular way
what was the latest intelligence about the
message.
"Nothing that I know Of" was the reply
"Do you care to buy it?" asked the
youth.
81 shouldn't mind" said the Times man,
imagining that the visitor was joking.
To his surprise the young man drew out
fromf'f pocket package which proved on
inspt csi n to be the much-desired docu-
ment.,-
"Bcw much do you want for this?" was
asked.
"Htv much will you give?" said the
youth.
TIL ~i7e s., 900 for it,
The young man said he thought he could
get more than that, and, after a brief haggle,
81, 500 was agreed upon as the price. 1t
was understood that the money should be
paid only on condition that the message
reached no other hands. No time was lost
in communicating with the correspondents
of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette and Chi
cago Times, and the representatives of the
three papers hired room in the Ebbitt
ta1a nh ,re
operators to send the dispatches from
thence. This was done with the utmost
secrecy, not word being breathed to any
body, for fear least some untoward accident
should spoil the biggest scoop that was ever
made from Washington.
So far as this end of the business was con-
cerned, things went admirably. During all
that evening the telegraph instruments
were busily ticking in the room at the
Ebbitt House, and the message was sent fly
ing simultaneously to three cities None
of the other correspondents here had any
notion of what was going on, but in New
York word got out in some way that the
message was coming over the wires No
one could tell what paper was getting it,
but the rumor set the correspondents there
on the alert. The men who represented
the Chicago papers in the metropolis wired
to the home offices warning. To prevent
the happening of just what did occur, the
New York Times was held back from the
presses for 45 minutes after the usual time.
AS quickly as it was issued, however, it
was seized, and the entire message of the
President, covering more than page and
halt, was telegraphed to the Chicago Ti6asnc,
the Inter- Ocean and other dailies in the same
city. 1t is not surprising that the Chicago
Ifnaes finding its hoped-for ''scoop" gobbled
by its rivals, should have declined to pay
its own share, $500. of the sum due as pur-
chase money for the message There was
never much evidence against the printer,
and, although he was discharged at the

tween the two lines. embroider the scat
tered pansies; there will then be left plain
space at each end with which to make the
pockets. Cut the Sits through which the
ribbon is to pass, and carefully press the
embroidered flowers when the practical work
of making can be begun. Cut fine white
crinoline the exact size of the suede, and
baste the two nearly together. Line the
suede with dark gray velvet for space Of
five inches each side of the central line so
that the velvet shall cover ten inches IN all.
Line the two end pieces, each of which
should measure 111z inches, with gray India
silk in such a manner as to leave the ends
scanned. Hem the edges Of the silk nearly
to the velvet, and the folio will be ready to
fold. Turn each end over onto the silk lin
ing at the depth of 81 inches so that the
edges shall meet the velvet center. Over
hand the ends of the pockets neatly and
firmly together, fold the whole in the CEN
ter, and carefully press the creases with q
warm iron, when the dainty and attractive
trife will be complete.

DRINK On A FULL STOMACH.
That Explains Why Englishmen Thrive on
LIQUOR While Americans Don't.

Liquor While Americans Don't.
Ever since I have been in this country,
says S. A. Carleton, of Liverpool, in the
st. Louis Democrat, I have heard it
said that men cannot drink nearly so much
with impunity as they can in England, the
reason given being the difference in the
climate. For my part, and I consider my
self to be something of an expert. do not
believe. that the climate has very much to
do with it. The real reason is to be found
in the difference in the drinking habits
of Englishmen and Americans. At home
very few men drink much before dinner,
still fewer take anything before noon, and
the early morning nip is almost unknown.
We drink very heavily, but most of our
drinking is done on full stomach and in
the evening when we have nothing to do.
Here, on the contrary, I find that hun
dreds of men take five or six drinks during
the day, who seldom touch liquor after din
ner. When the stomach is full liquor has a
far less deleterious effect than when it is
empty but have often heard Americans
decline drink because they have just had
their lunch Such reason would never be
given in England, but the contrary will
often be heard. 1t is drinking on an empty
stomach and not the climate that uses up
bibulous Americans.
