One Of the funniest financial questions
ever raised in local political economy came
up for the first time this summer Every
body suddenly became excited and anxious
about the many millions spent every season
by American tourists abroad. 1t was dis
covered that the aggregate was enormous.
The financial figures began with 100, 0CO
tourists at the lowest average of /, 200 each,
or q total of 81, 900, 600. After much news
paper aud even magazine discussion, gen
eral consent simmered the sum down to
800, 100000 for 10000 people. Even then
there was holy holding up of hands at the
thought OF such a sum going out of the
country, squandered abroad and lost to US
forever. Not all of it. A pretty good slice
OF each tourists 81 eco goes for passage
money on the steamers, all of which pay
Immense sums right in this city and over
in Jersey for labor, wages, salaries coal
provisions, and SO on, which come out of
the steamers business. Many Of these
ships provision, coal, liquor up, cigar up
and ice up for both the out and return
voyages, because these supplies can be
furnished better and cheaper here than
abroad. In this way millions are spent by
the steamers, companies, stewards, oft GERS
crews, and ''all hands, every year, and the
yesr round, too, not merely during the
rush OF summer travel. The moment
people whose practical experience is limited
to the handling Of a few hundreds or very
few thousands every year begin to talk
about almost inconceivable sums they man
age hundreds of imaginary millions with
amazing arithmetical facilities. The sup
posed fortunes of Gould, the Astors, the
Vanderbilts and so on are turned over''
in some shape or other, with the utmost
ease, every day in the week, by people,
too, who will worry for week how they
are going to pay $50 rent for their cheap
fiat nexs month. So in bowling over the
many millions spent by tourists abroad,
these frightened fgurers do not stop to
consider what an immense number of these
annual gadders are business men who 90
to Europe to make arrangements by their
purchases and importations for the spend
ing of an immense amount of money right
here in this city.

One of the Ennr Hnndred

The very people who like to have their
names IN the papers"-and the Four Hun

to get them in at least once more than ia

to Mr.. Robert hoe, the distinguished manu-
facturer of printing presses aud material

OF mechanic who, by his industry and
inventions, lett large fortune, sufficient
IN size to set up his son-who has largely
increased his Inherited wealth-high among

good looking man, is aware of the fact. and
has fine contempt for the things around
and especially beneath him. He has fads

vate lDrarles IN town, and he was one of
the founders OF the Groiier club. And he

Ing business Is chronic complaint every
where up town. Hotels, clubhouses and
big stores constantly are making close by
homesteads almost uninha oitable, and also
making their owners quite unhappy One

was when the Westmnster Hotel was
built in East Sixteenth street. The retired

THE CARL SCHDRZ OF TO-DAY
Che New Feminine Fad of the Memory ] ar

of Cosmetics.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 1871 saw Carl
Schurz on the street the other day. He is
growing little stopped as to his shoulders
and there is a suspicion of gray in his
sandy beard, but in most respects he looks
as he did twenty years ago when first
saw him. Interest in him has revived
since the announcement of his withdrawal
from the presidency of the Hamburg
American Packet company. That was a
queer occupation, anyhow, for a man of bis
literary tastes and requirements, but the
general opinion is that he was merely pu,
up as fgurehead for the steamship com
psny. What a career that man has had
Editor, senator of the United States, ma.
3or-general, cabinet officer, president of q
steamship company-and number of other
things between. As the editor of the St.
Louis WeStlichc Post, MIR. Schurz was fol-
years political power in the West. To
his supposed influence over the Germans
of the country Mr.. Schurz owed his polt-
ical advancement, and most especially that
funniest of all honors, his major
generslship. With no military taste
or training, he actually held the

citizens, permitted him to masquerade as q
general for several years. Since his with,
drawal from the editorship of the Evening
Post Mr.. Schurz has not cut much of fig
ure IN this city. His mugwump tenden-
ces have kept hun out o. both parties. and
when he appears in public it is always TO
complain about something that is. He
affects Washington music, soft hats and
rather rusty raiment. He retains. / be-
lleve, his interest in the St. Louis news
paper. He is a great student and hard
worker. Pulitzer, who used to work for
him, told me once that Schurz never pro.

solitude of his library, but when worked

An Oln-Timn Novelist

The city Of Brooklyn has been entertain

liennett. To the novel readers of the past
generation what memories that name con-
lures AS boy / am sure | read at least
twenty five of Benefits novels. He is
credited with fifty. His stories were
mostly of the frontier, and no man, not
even excepting Cooper, endowed the In
dian with more grace, grandeur, and glory.
How recall his enhancing story entitled
THE Prairie Flower" and the sequel
LEM Leonti." Mr.. Bennett is now sixty
nine years of age. He was born in Massa-
chusetts in 1922 and for fifty years has
been contributor to magazines and news
papers. The greateSJ part Of his life has
been spent in Philadelphia. Mr.. Bennett
came into vogue as rouancist in the per

the solitary horseman school-Ned Bunt-

worth. What prolific set Of writers they
were! 1t used 10 seem to me that they
turned cut about a story month each.
We have no such writers now. The line
between civilization and barbarism has
been pretty well obliterated and the field of
American romance has been narrowed. In
a faw years the stories hinged on cur civil
war will take the place of the romances in
which the noble old man and tho white
fronuersman with the queer verpacular
figured so conspicuously. I a,n told that
100000 copies of Mr.. Benefits prairie

was something wonderful in thai day.
Some Of his most popular stories were
"Fiola," "Waldo Warren" CLARA More

Mr.. Bennett still writes sketches for the
press, in which he mingles romance and
history in the old style.

Bill Nye. and His PLAY.

Bill Nye has been here for fortnight

perience as playwright. Bill has created
a marvellous character in The Cadi.n For
dry bumor, cynicism, quaintness of man
ner and dress that frontier Poo bah will
live. The play has lacked dramatic action
and Nye has been hard at work for a week
trying to supply it. l am told that the new
version is quite an improvement and it is
predicted That in its new form the play
will be money maker. Bill Nye is the
most genuine humorist have ever known.
He wears well. His humor is purely of
the American type. y e has already done
more consecutive work than John Phoenix,
Artemus Ward and Mark Twain combined
Between his writings, mis- books and his
lectures he now has an income of about
ST., OO0 year, and now that the CCnturu
Magazine has made @ contract with him for
a series of sketches his literary fame NAV

The Light of Asia" by which he is best

of Gautama Buddha, the supposed founder
of the Buddhistic religion. This work, CON

claims upon our admiration, but it does not
give iustidea OF the spirit Of that religion
The author did not feel called upon to CON
fine himself within the statements of the

Look Out for Paint.

An apothecary friend supplies us with
the horrlfying intelligence that the ladies'
are painting their cheeks and lips this fail

been known in this city for long time. l

concern to nail up the warning sign, LOOK
out for paint" Powder always goes with
paint, so the demand for these two articles
of the toilet is lively, and unless my friend
who sells them is greatly mistaken, the
demand will be very much augmented as
the season advances. 'Our advices from
Paris, said he, ARE that paint is more ex-
tensively used there this season than for
many gears, and this state of affairs &C.
counts for the movement here. 1t is Gu

upon young girls whose compilations are
almost perfect. OF course, cosmetics
will destroy the tone of pretty
complexion, but that fact. known to
everybody, does not deter some women
more than you would like to
believe-from the habitual use of them.
But this fall women who never used paint

victims to this dictum of fashion. | should

and now that fashion is favoring US we

our best customers for this class of goods
No matter how pretty their complexion
may be, they are willing that it should be
prettier, and, thinking that cosmetics will
accomplish this, they buy freely. Butjust
at this time, as I'have said, ladies gener-

suppose that anything so destructive to
beauty as paint and powder would not last
long with the ladies, but instead of the cos-

1t is like morphine. The more you take Of

Mckinley is more of an orator than any of

been likened to Stephen a. Douglas in ap-

him and Governor Campbell as to the
