The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-12-20

giving an alarming picture q the inroads
made by the sons Of Sunny Italy upon the
realms % the Olot-blaclC, the fruit vender
the barber the itinerant musician and the
man with the pick-sx. The article
has not created any great alarm in
this community. There arc very
few Germans In New York VINO are not
prosperous and cultured. That any OF
them care to black boots or sell bananas is
not probable. but the little German band
may well have grudge against the swarthy
musical genius who turns the crank Of a
hand organ. In a minor way it is the same
contest that is going on between Wager
and Verdi. Whatever may be the outcome
of the struggle between italian AMI German
opera, between the wandering brass band
and the hand organ, 1t is certainly

UP AND DOWN.
OF the thousands of people who daily ride
In the elevators of this CITY SURPRISINGLY
few understand how to do it gracefully, Ii
is wonderful how difficult it seems to be
for men and women to learn that riding In
an elevator is not like sleeping in a bed
or walking on q lonely road-you must
keep your mind alert and your nerves
steady to do it correctly. IL is an art that
rexuires one who practices it to base his
method on that ancient behest, ''Be
vigilent." II you want 10 stop at the
twenty-niuth floor don't make that fact
known to the elevator boy just after you
have reached the thirty-fourth. Such con-
duct-not at all rare-causes your fellow
balloonists to look upon you as deficient in
presence OF mind. Another thug: il the
boy doesn't know on which floor Browne
office is. and whether Brown is in, dou't
scowl at the youth as though you could bite
him. What's Brown to him, or he TO Brown
that be should keep tab on Browns move
mentsl You see there are many fine points
in connection with this modern custom of
riding in elevators. II a lady enters
the lift. it remains for YOU to de-
eide whether or not to remove your hat Ii
it is q new hatlshe might prefer to have you
keep it on. II you look better without
headgear, and the lady is handsome, it is
generally considered advisable TO remove
the hat. But there is one rule that admits
OF no discussion. Never smoke in an eleva-
tor. II you must puff tobacco on your way
up Oh. down, have the boy put you IN the
freight compartment underneath. II you
are somking cigarette, yon would do well
to jump down the shaft II cigarettes
will not.
LITERARY WORKERS.
The men who make the most money by
The periodicals that pay the highest prices
for fiction and special articles are not those
that give writer a reputation in the world
OF letters. l have friend who makes $10,-
600 a year writing stories Of adventure fer
a Sensational weekly. He is a poet of 10
mean ability and when he feels that be
would like little applause be sends poem
to some leading magazine. Only lis
most intimate friends know that
"Pendragonn of the Youths Weekly
Thrill is the long-haired, romantic looking
man who listens at the Authors Club to
the aAttery Of those who think that the
highest success in life consists 10 having a
poem printed in the Century, Harper's, or
ScribnerS'. Another man know gets $40
thousand words from weekly that is
read in thousands of kitchens throughout
the country. He is a highly educated man,
but he must earn his living. He makes at
least $1,000 year. He was recently
offered a college profeSsorship at salary
Of $500. But he could not afford TO
abandon The Chambermaid's Own. These
men will never go down TO posterity as
great novelistS but, to use vulgar ex-
preston, they get there all the same.
