Ex.Pre.,dent Hayes Loss of Memory.

The unfoundcd reports which have been
started about the mental troubles of ex-
President Hayes illustrate the way in
which an absurd story may be started.
When Mr.. Hayes was at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, in New York, few weeks ago. he
mentioned to n reporter, who called on
him, that he had been a little annoyed
since his attack of the grip, during the
first influenza epidemic, by occasional
lapses of memory. This fact was duly
chronicled and then allowed to lie fellow
for a while. Then, when it was sufficiently
developed to make n sensation, il was
Sprung upon the public. Mr.. Hayes
displays no INDIGESTION of failing memory.
On the contrary he talks fueutly on all
but public topics. ''The loss of memory
on his part, TO which the papers refer,
was forgetfulness OF all matters Of politi-
cal import. But, far from showing men,
tai weakness this-to may minds--dis-
played considerable shrewdness. The
man who has skill enough to escape an.
swering the searching questions Of a
score OF reporters is very far from being
ia his Go,age.

One OF these INDUCES in an occasional

he knew the potency of his gift.

nonchalant reply.

The competition between New York
newspapers is now so keen as to preclude
the slightest possibility of profits for most
of them. Competition does not confine
itself to the issue of enormous illustrated
magazines on Sundays That is some
thing familiar enough among the news
papers of other cities. More destructive
OF profits is the cutting Of rates on adver-
tisenents. This was bad enough before
the two new papers started, and it is
worse now. All the papers print great
quantities Of advertising matter but there
isn't much money in il. An advertising
agent tells me that one of the very best
known dailies recently printed reading
notice over a column in length with sew
eral cuts, making the cuts itself, for s2J.
Prompt upon the heels of the publication
came whole swarm OF agents-iL used
to be the rule in New York that the best
papers did not solicit advertising, but
that don't go now. One would prinS it
for 5000 another for sl75, and so on.
When s25 was suggested they all wilted
except one, who offered to print it for
nothing if any descent amount Of adver-
Using at regular rates would be promised
later on.
The advertising bonanzas in New York
at present are the monthly magazines,
and such papers as the Evening Post"
which have held aloof from the scramble
after bigness and plod along in the the
old -fashioned way with their old client
age.
And yet there Is talk Of starting still
another new morning daily in the fall
with Col Cockerill as it's editor.

announced his belief that his brother was

An Expensive Drunk.

Newspaper men are fond of saying that
the old days of the Bohemian journalist
are gone never to return, but here is a
story that sounds suspiciously like refu-
tation of too sweeping statement of the
altered times.
The city editorship of one of the great
est papers in the metropolis was offered
to certain bright young journalist, and
his commission was practically made out.
In his Joy he went down to the Gravesend
race track with chosen crony and got
on glorious spree. The business MAJ "a
ger of the paper heard of it somehow,
and, before the drunk had simmered
away to the subsequent katzenjammer,
the vacant desk was offered to and &C
cepted by another young man who keeps
sober. That was an expensive drunk.

The Giddy Correspondent.

Six months or so ago the greatest o.
the New York new spaper syndicates sent
out for publication a sketch of one of the
best known and most successful profess
sional women in New York, accompanied
By an excellent portrait. Sketch and
portrait were published in certain
Western paper whose locality cannot be
too closely limited at. A few days ago
a local divorce case caused a great stir in
the town where this paper was published,
and its editor, having no portraits OF the
principals in the case, picked out the
portrait OF the New York woman, blew
the dust off it and published it as can
excellent likeness of the giddy correspond
ent." OF course some kind friend sent
the New York woman a copy OF the paper,
and she has vowed a big vow that she
will never give any newspaper man
another photograph.
Do you wonder ut its don't Would
Mrs. Potter Palmer like to have her pic
ture published as that of a confidence
woman, Would Governor Hill like to
have his handsome features figure as the
horse thief's in Montana lynching
story. Hardly.
II is such antics that make the work Of
honest newspaper men and women harder

A tumble of styles.

IN years past We have usually had q
prevalent style for country house arehi-
tseture. Grecisn, Gothic, Italian, Queen
Anne and Colonial villas have followed
each other in rapid but reasonably order
ly succession, each the reflection OF past
forms and ideas. How we have no pre-
valent style but a tumble Of all. Queen
Anne houses, so called, continue In favor
along with Colonial. Strangest juxtapo-
sition of all, James Brown Lord, the arch
itect OF Tuxedo, is erecting at Hampstead
two splendid villas, one an Italian study
with open topped towers and wide shady
loggias, the other half timbered Eliza
bethan Mouse looking like Leicester's
Hospital, without the suggestion Of a
shaded porch in front. Such contrast
of extreme Northern and extreme South
ern styles is rather funny.
