An Odd Way to Get Sleep.

The other day Jerseyman came over to visit
a friend in New York. The Two chums dined
together and went out to the theater after din
caused the Jerseyman to lose his train. He
dared not wait until later hour for fear of
the blessing" he would receive at home. Be-
sides, he was trifle weary. 1t was about
o'clock in the morning before he decided to go
to bed When he had made up his mind to do
this sensible trick it was found that the hotels
could offer him no better berth than chair or
a shake down in reading room. To pay the
usual So for such accommodation was against
the Jerseyman's conception of frugality. His
friend was somewhat worried account of
the situation, but the Jerseyman said:
"Im going to take an elevated train TO Har-
lem"
The friends parted. and met next day in lower
Broadway In answer to friendly queries as to

slept like log until the guard shook me up at

to One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street again,
and repeated the operation to the Battery.

The masher at the stage door has been often
written about. There is one kind of masher,
however, in similar connection who cannot be
dancer who has become quite the rage and
divides popularity with Carmencita. is learning
| all about this sort of individual Unlike Car
mencita Otero invites personal attention and
| strong personal admiration from d class of men
about town who cannot come within speaking
distance of the dark Spanish girl at the fash
ionable beer garden.
Otero is strkingly beautiful woman of a
peculiar type. Her face, figure and action
form an interesting study. 1t is especially in
teresting to those who have the facilities for
closer observation. That they have improved
these facilities is apparent in the magnificent
array of costly diamonds that bespangle the
CO stumes of their favorite. The men of New
York who indulge in these rIvalries with each
other in the race for feminine favor are not
niggardly of their funds. Otero appears nightly
lovely setting for at least $4,000 worth of
precious stones. When she came here she had
nothing. No. it will not do to say nothing, be-
cause she had youth and beauty and a fiery
spirit found only in sunny Spain. Behold the
glorious metamorphosisl With radiance uu-
known even to the footlghts of the metropolis,
she appears nightly above the gruesome vaults
OF the chamber of horrors, sclntillating in the
eyes of her adorers
Rarely is such exquisite beauty given to
womanhood. With a face of Madonna and
the spirit of a Becky Sharp" she enthralls the
pure and the innocent lover OF the beautiful
and the ignorantly gross and refinedly licen-
tious alike. The best of society greets her in
front-the worst of society revel in her pres
ence at the back. She plays them both for all
they are worth. New York Is full of sinners
old and young, to whom money is no object
when it comes to self qualification. They find
in this whilom child of nature fair game. The
coterle OF roues that futter like moths about a
candle around this sudden favorite of fortune
excites no ones sympathy. II she plucks them
no one cares. Perhaps the poor girl may real
ize that her era is necessarily short, and her
campaign must be fought quickly and sharply
to conclusion. From the point of view of the
social scientist the marvel is that she can hold
herself so high under the pressure, and so long
retain her youthful loyeliness and innocent ap-
pearaDce. 1t will be q long time before an
other woman will occupy the anomalous posi-
tion of Otero in the public eye.

and upon the test OF her reliability as wit.
ness it was discovered that she was ten years
old, could not read, had never seen a Bible
and had never been inside a church. It is
pleasant to believe that such a case is an ex-
ception. The fact that it creates sstonish-
ment and surprise is creditable to our civili-
zation, but it will not do to rely too blindly
on the belief that it is so exceptional that it
need not give thoughtful people any concern.
The fact is that this little example of do
mestic heathenism represents a class, and
there is reason to think that it is not
diminishing class in our large cities. 1t
may escape observation because of its OBJ
scurity. The courts do not often summon
witnesses from it, so that such an official
demonstration of its ignorance like the case
cited is very rare. But if investigation
were made the same ssrt of darkness could
be reduplicsted with many examples in al
most every city in our land. 1t is probable
that within the very shadow of our churches
and schoolhouses children can be found who
cannot read, and know nothing of the inside
of either churches or schoolhouses.
OF course such condition of things falls
short of the standard which society has set
for itself If the means for spreading educa-
tion and morality do not reach the classes
that are most in need of them, they fail in
their most important duty.

DEMOCRATIC GENERALIZATION.

Political disputation sometimes leads to
strange results. The esteemed but impetu-
Gus New York Forld has been betrayed by
the warmth of an argument over the Hill
BulkeIey dispute into asserting that 'there
is no such thing known to our law as Gov
ernop de facto," and thence proceeding to
the conclusion: "It Bulkeley is Governor
de facto he can be put down by the United
States, on Morris request, as an insurrec-
zionist"
This is startling departure from the
Democratic standards of the past. To il
lustrate its radical subversion of old Demo-
cratic theories, it would be well to apply it
to the case of numerous Democratic State
governments in the South established by
methods about whose legality there was a
decided question. But they were recog-
nized as de fdcto, and now we are told by an
organ of Democratic opinion that it was in
the power of the United States to suppress
them.
Ii the United States had undertaken to
exercise that power what an outcry there
would have been. To respond to such an
application from the side opposed to the de
fdcto Government, the United States must
investigate and determine which is the legal
government. Thus it is the inevits BILE Sc
quence of the Worlds theory of Federal
powers, that the United States Government
must settle disputed State elections first by
its verdict and next by force of arms!
But what theory of Capitalization this
sets upl Reeds loftiest conceptions, Dud-
Iey's most daring flights of Imagination,
never reached such height; and the Fed
eral election bill would turn pale with
envy at the thought Of the United States
Government pulling down de facto Gov
ernors and setting claimants in their stead
To the advocacy of this unparalleled degree
OF centralized power, hath political contro-
versy brought that sometime independent
but row straight-out Hill Democratic jour

Enterprise of an Ice Company.

There is no reasonable objection to an ice
company getting along. and they usually man
age to do it whether there are any objections or
not The other day received from the North
western Ice Company, at Indianapolis, bill
for 81 so for $50 pounds of ice alleged to have
been delivered at my residence in that city one
month last summer. Whether it is customary
not for an ice company to send bills of this
kind promiscu ously around the country to any
body who may happen to have the same or q
similar name as some delinquent customer,
am unable to answer. The fact that such is the
inference opens up vista of American enter
prise heretofore comparatively unknown.
In returning the bill to the company l
casually mentioned the fact that hadn't been
in indianapolis for IA years, and hadn't lived
there for about 20: but, at the same time, re-
turned thanks for the commercial credit this
little attention implied. What has become of
the rest of my ice in indianapolis? Was it de-
livered along through the summer as this bill
seems to indicate? And if it has been deliv-
cred regularly, who ordered this ice for me,
who consumed it. and who paid for it, omitting
this final settlement? Has the ice melted on
my front doorstep? If it has melted can
compel the Northwestern Company to forward
my ice to New York before settling the bill?
These be weighty questions. Come to think of
it. / don't want their Indianapolis ice anyhow
In New York we kick like steers at 40 cents per
hundred and think we are being robbed when
it runs up to so cents.

ment their personality becomes familiar to the
expert thief catchers in large cities. What
seems remarkable. therefore, to layman is a
mere matter of course to a disciple and en-
ploye of Inspector Byrnes.
1t has been trurhfully remarked that during
the decade in which Inspector Byrnes has had
this espionage of Wall street not single bank
burglary or robbery of any Importance has been
committed in that vicinity. Up to that time
very large amount of money had been obtained
by notorious crooks, and some of the most dar-
ing operations had proved successful. 1t is
said that at least $1,000 COO in securities and
money had been taken out of w all street ap to
the period where Byrnes undertook to main-
tain systematic watch upon the street.
One day last summer L was standing in con-
versation with friend in front Of Trinity
Church when dapper little gentleman carry
ing slender switch cane sauntered slowly by.
There were several people looking through the
railing In the Trinity Church yard as usual.
This curious crowd can be seen there any day
and at any hour during the day in the summer
months. There was nothing apparently out of
the way therefor in the present instance. When
the slender gentleman passed he took good
look at one of these persons and suddenly
turned on his heel and took him gently by the
buttonhole. The man seemed startled out OF
his self-control for a minute. and then again
recovered his mental equilibrium. 1t required
but word or two to send him walking swiftly
up Broadway. Then my friend turned to me
and said ibid you notice that? That's Byrnes'
defective and he has discovered the presence of
a crook in this forbidden nAighborhood."

Keeping an Eye on Wall Street.

Speaking of the familiarity of certain people
in the metropolis with certain localities, re-
minds me of the good turn this serves that re-
markable body of Inspector Byrues' department
whose duty it is to guard the wealth of Wall
street. There are stationed at intervals in the
vicinity of Wall street several of the best de-
tectiyes IN the country. These men are accus-
toned to the faces of the legitimate residents
and habitues of the brokerage and banking
sections. They probably know the face, figure
and name of every bank cashier, teller, broker
and brokers customer who comes into the
street. Just as soon as a new face makes its
appearance all one of these fellows has to do is
to decide whether that is q face of crook or of
some new candidate for being crooked. In the
first place these detectives know the faces of
about every crook in the country whose
talents would naturally direct him to
Wall street. Bank burglars ami men OF
that stamp from which come expert counter
feiters are not born in a day, Du5 are the
products of criminal experience and criminal
skill, and during the process Of their advance
