Genius and journalism. j

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: You say
that there is always room for man or a wo-
man of genius in THE Sun establishment, but
the proportion OF such appears to be limited"
Now Is not the number OF those recognized
as mon and women OF genius too small? How
would you select your men OF genius? And
how can young man find out whether he is
endowed with genius or not? In the newspa-
per business it is evident to me that it is not
the men Of genius who always work to the
front. though. OF course the man that gets
there must make q fair showing, while better
man may have been crowded back because Of
some unfriendly circumstance.

Genius in literature and journalism is the

not thing that Is easy to kill by obstruction or

! 1t is not worth while for anybody to imagine
that he has got It, 1t will always prove itself

Rufus Roberts started housecleaning
the other day, and found a number of
old papers which he thinks will have
great weight with the jury in Norton
Downs damage suit. Rufus has been
very close to Tom Downs for long
time, and Tom did not forget Rufus
whenever he could help him. Downs is
out now and may not get In again for
good while, SO Uncle Rufus is figuring
on the amount his manuscript evidence
would bring on the open market with
Downs as bidder and he as auctioneer.
The people who are acquainted with the
case tgure that this waste paper that
RuTus values SO highly would not bring
enough to pay the auctioneer's fees, and
that the advertiser would have to look

Some Of His Deeds OF Valor
at Rochester, n. Y,
Recounted.
a Picture of the Gallant En-
CINE He Once Commanded
so Bravely.
An Eye Witness Describes
Some Of the Episodes Of
His Career.

Among the uncrowned heroes of Min.
neapolis whose deeds of valor have
been unsung, is Egbert B. Basset, book
keeper for the Ruddock Lumber COM
panY-better known to his acquaint-
ances and to local fame as "Bas," gen
orally pronounced "Baz." Mr.. Bassett.
since residing in Minneapolis in his
pleasant home on Clinton avenue, has
exercised his pedestrian powers chiefly
in running up and down columns of
figures, but there was time
when his great forte was run
ming to fires. Although apparently a
young man he is vetran fireman, and,
as superintendent of the New York
volunteer fire department, performed
deeds of valOr that are yet remembered
in that city by the older residents. AL
though Rochester has arisen to the dig
nifty of paid department. Supt. Bas-
setts former achievements were recently
brought to mind by the visit to Mime
neapolis of G. P. Dickinson, now Chi
cago boot and shoe man, who narrated
to throng of friends some of
Supt. Bassett's deeds which fairly
thrilled the hearers. A picture is
here given of the Identical engine
of the Rochester fire department which
was commanded by Supt. Bassett, and
which, under his guidance, was the
means of saving of thousands of dollars
OF property and many lives.
St. Paul daily globe., 1891-05-10

''Bassett," said Mr.. Dickinson to his
friends one evening last week, "was
probably the most alert fireman that
was ever born. He once saved-a match
factory from destruction by simply let
. ting it burn down instead of up; and
once saved powder mill from expled-
ing by removing the kegs of powder be-
fore the flames in a warehouse a block
distant had reached the building in
which they were stored some six hours
later.
81 think that his work in superintend-
Ing the men under his direction at a
contiagration which threatened the de-
struction of an ice house perhaps best
illustrated his GOODNESS and bravery.
The alarm came from box No. 9, | well
remember, and 'Bas' was on hand first,
as usual. We got out our engine, old
Rochester No. l. and got there first.
'Bas' shouted his orders through his
trumpet in that clear, decisive tone
which Influenced all to obey. The Ice
was already burning fiercely, and large
icicleS were falling thick and fast about
US mingled, with sparks and thick vol
umes of trapped smoke. 'Bas' direct
ed us to throw some six streams of
water, l think 1t was six, upon the
burning ice. and the result was the
water IrOZo SGlII III q SOIlQ SneeC ana put
the fire out; smothered it as it we're.
You'd hardly believe it here in Mime
apOIis, but here is 'Bas,' a living wit
ness to his achievement"
When his listeners had become sufi-
ciently calmed, Mr.. Dickinson con-
tinued: "'Bas' great fate, however,
was in going to fires. 1t didn't matter
how he was dressed, what he was do
ing, or where he was-he always went
to fires. l have even seen him drop the
contribution boz at q prayer meeting
and leave the church to attend a fire.

A BIG DIVORCE GRIND.
Five Court DEGREES Are Turned
Out in a Bunch.


The divorce mill had high old time
yesterday. The Parker case came up
on an amended complaint, and hearing
for the custody of the child. This new
complaint shows that the wife is spite
full. She puts the adultery claim in the
background, and accuses her husband
of fraudulently secreting his property
at the time he assigned III Bismarck in
1887. She also says that when he was
In the drug business with +. G. Penney
in this city he often made away with
large quantities of the stock in trade of
the place, and threatened to do her
mortal injury if she exposed him. The
wife was given the custody Of the child,
which is now in Albert Lea with it's
uncle and aunt.
Jennie Thorson was granted a decree
from Martin, her husband, because she
proved conclusively to the court that he
had elOped with another woman.
GeOrgiana Duggart is set free from
her husband, William. Her husband,
it appeared, was worthless fellow, and
never contributed to the support of his
family. He had been cruel to the
family singly and severally.
Jennie Kicks was granted divorce
from Fleming Kicks on account of
drunkenness and inhuman treatment. He
is gambler by profession, and had
pawned her chattels often to provide
himself with the necessary funds to
keep at his habit.
Agnes Petron is a pretty little lady
who is familiar 20 habitues of public
dances. She told tale of woe, part
only of which is fit for publication, and
that is that the divorce was granted.
Alice E, Pierce was divorced from
Frank w. Pierce. He was found to be
a habitual drunkard, and treated his
wife cruelty.

REGRETS FOLLOW THEM.
Charles A. Clarke and Wife Leave
Holmes Hotel Society.

Charles A. Clarke and family will be
| missed from Holmes hotel society circles
during the coming tennis and picnic
season. Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke were very
popular at the Holmes, where they have
lived for a little over year. They have
gone to st. Louis. Their many friends
regret their departure exceedingly.
Nine. Boyd, the milliner, regrets
firms and personal friends are
in on the regrets sufficiently, it is said,
to swell the total value to $1,000. Mrs.
Clarke was an interchangeable shopper" I"
She changed her gowns three and four
times day; her bonnets were so many
poetic combinations of color, and her
sacks, wraps and jackets were the en-
bodiment of artistic simplicity. About
the 1st of last September she contracted
bill at Nine. Boyd's, and at about the
same time began running a bill at a
Nicollet avenue milliner's. The latter
distrusted Mrs. Clarke, having
heard that the family left Milwau-
kee under a financial cloud. Finally,
however, she let Mrs. Clarke have goods
on account, because she was such a
''Sweet little woman" Meanwhile the
Boyd bill had passed the $500 mark :;
Mrs. Clarke had ordered another gown,
which was ready to be delivered, when
last Tuesday Mime. Boyd received an in
tlmation that Mrs. Clarke was going to
leave the city, and thereupon refused to
deliver the gown until something had
been paid on the long outstand-
ing account. Clarke immediate
ly came down to the store, and
rendered. in part payment of the ac-
count, draft drawn on the Third Ma
tional Bank of st. Louis for $3.50, pay
able in ten days. Nine. Boyd, however,
was inexorable; the many-colored
spring symphony could not leave the
shop until the worth of the draft had
been proven. Nine. Boyd sent the draft
to st. Louis, awaited its return for two
days, and then learned that the Clarkes
had left the city.
1t is said that the Clarkes left Milwau-
kee because they became involved. and
that they left Minneapolis so suddenly
Because their Milwaukee creditors were
on their track. Manager Holmes said

HE possesses remarkably long legs
you notice, aud the way he'd work 'em
back and forth on those plank sidewalks
OF Rochester was caution. Some folks
used to almost think he must have set
the fires, as he turned up with such
promptness. This was in the days be-
fore the BabcOck portable extinguIshers,
mind you, and 'Bas' always carried a
siX--quart bucket or water in one hand
and a big syringe in the other. He
yelled 'frel fireiv at every jump. as loud
as he could. The people all knew 'Bas'
voice., and would turn out en- masse to
see the building burn down. Oh, he
was a corker to go to fire, can tell
you. He could go out to fire quicker
than the fire could 20 out itself. We
don't have such fremen in the depart
ment nowadays, can tell you," and
Mr.. Dickinson sighed with regret, while
ex-Supt. Bassett blushed with pride at
the compliment, but did not deny the
assertion was correct.

ANOTHER PROMISE.
Interurbrn Cars Will Make q Trip
in Forty-Fiye Minutes,

The street railway company an
nounces that the new fifty-horse power
motors Will be tried on the electric line
to-day. With these motors the company
promises to reduce the running time be-
tween the two cities to forty-fve min
utes. Another improvement, some
thing in the way of an inno-
vation, is contemplated. 1t is pro-
posed to keep the whole interurban
line well sprinkled, so that dust will not
among the passengers. Water sprink-
lers, run by electricity, will be put in
operation. The water cars will each be
mounted by tank six by six and
twelve feet long. Two or three cars
will be connected by hose SO that one
train can sprinkle all the way from one
city to the other. Investigations are
now in progress to determine whether
it will be safe to run these heavy water
trains over the Washington avenue
bridge. If 1t is not the sprinkling will
begin on the east end of the bridge.
Bridge Engineer Cappelen, of the city
engineers office, is now at work upon
the calculations.

A CHURCH ROW.
ST. Marks and the Holy Trinity
Opposed in the District Court.

Opposed in the District Court.
Hector Baxter and John G. Reno,
prominent local Episcopalians, have
filed petition in the district court
against Andrew j. Graham, pastor Of
the Holy Trinity church, asking that
the court compel him to give up the
keys to the church. 1t seems that the
property is held In trust for the church
missionary society by ThomasB. Wells,
rector OF St. Marks. The people who
have the church now intend to keep it.
and have refused to give up possession
even upon written demand. Reno
tried to get into the place of worship,
but found that it had been fitted with
new locks, and barred sufficient to keep
out an army. Just what the inside
story of this church row is does not ap-
pear on the surface nor in the COM
plant, but it is certain that both sides
are determined, and will fight it out to
the last.

some of the members say, that he had the
proof OF his statements at hand, but

ferent. 1t looks now as if he would find
himself In similar position to the one
KEY. Golightly Morrill, was in during
the street car strike. when he mounted
his pulpit and said he did not want
Tom Lowry's money, he wanted clean
money. This statement was followed
by letter from Mr.. Lowry, showing
that Golightly had asked passes over
the old motor line, but was refused.
Since then Golightly has been going
very lightly SO far as attacking Tom
Lowry is concerned. Ministers, like a
good many other mortals. take the hint

Peter did not mind raising his right
nor kissing the table. for he was an
adept at kissing, but when it came to
swearing fidelity to the queen, Peter
was mad. He could not help himself.
He took his medicine like man. And
when he had served his time he made
tracks for America. England is all
right at distance with Peter, but if
one wants to get free bed just let him
call on Peter some night at the central
station and talk about the fine discipline
In the British army, and he will get a
place to sleep in for the night without
asking for it.
Emerson Cole, who sat In the city
council for two years and in the state
legislature three months, never made a
speech in favor or against any measure
except when Anderson & Douglas
wanted street car franchise here. So
we'll did he live up to his customs while
in the Legislature that at one time it was
thought he was mute, and had it not
been for some kind friends he would
have been delegated by the house to
have talk with the inmates of the deaf
aid dumb institute at Faribault. But
for all that he will surely bob up again
for some elective office. The best thing
the people of the Fourth ward can do
with him now would be to trade him off
for cigar sign. The ward in such a
trade would have the best of the bar
gain.
