A Dude who Discovered That Persons
wash for Themselves


While In the Office OF an uptown
hotel recently CHANGED TO overhear a
conversation between two men which
proved very amusing from subsequent
developements.
Both persons In question were attired
in the latest style and drawled their
words with Murray Hill correctness.
They also affected that peculiar vacnity
OF conntenance innocently supposed 10
be fashionable In England, but which
In reality exists only in lunatic asylum
or AN institution for the care OF the
weak minded.
They were discussing new book
which dealt with some OF the rougher
sides OF life.
1T VAS overwhelmingly amusing"
remarked one specimen. Ito wead how
some persons In Boston who made some
pwetensions socially were compelled 10
do their own washing. Anotha family
couldn't hiah a servant so they had to
do their own cooking" This seemed
so amusing" that both laughed as
loudly as their weak physique and
strong conventionality would allow.
The other individual who appeared
TO be In the last stages Of paresis, re-
sponded with similar anecdote and
the two wandered out into Broadway.
There was an old New Yorker In the
lobby who happened to be familiar
with the antecedents OF both and he
gave me some Of their family history.
He OF the ''excruciating" amuse-
ment formerly lived in the tene-
ment house district not far from
Cherry Hill. His father had been
machinist's helper and earned 81 a
week. His mother took in washing TO
help support the family. Later his
father invented a trivial article which
brought him considerable money
He invested in real estate and made
fortune. The family deserted Cherry
Hill and now live on Madison avenue.
That is the history of the young
gentleman who saw so much amuse-
ment in people doing their own wash
ing.
The worthy parent OF the other made
several contracts with the city under
the Tweed ring and then retired from
business. New York Herald.

some Of Won Mol,ks,. Wars.


The seven weeks war between
Prussia and Austria was planned by
Moltke, and the operations which cul-
minated at k9niggratz were his. The
movements ofthree army corps. which
were to converge at a givon time upon
the enemy and crush him, were all
directed by this master mind. But
his brain was versatile as well as far
seeing. On the very eve OF the battle
dispatches were received which COM
PEELED radical changes in the plans.
but Moltke was not embarrassed In
the least by the event. as this posi-
bility had heen foreseen by him.
When the battle was raging, when
the non-arrival OF the Crown Prince
seemed liable TO Illustrate the
Prussian combinations and the
King and Bismarck were becoming
nervous, the Chief OF staff was cool
and free from anxiety At this SUI
preme moment Bismarck offered
Moltkc cigar. which he carefully
selected from number OF others.
Bismarck has since said When
saw that he was cool enough To choose
a cigar felt comforted and assured
that things could not be going wrong
with us after ALL" I'm few moments
the expected army corps was seen ap-
preaching. the united Prussian armies
closed in crushing grip upon the
Austrans, and the battle OF Kpnig-
gratz was won. For this campaign
Moltke was decorated. aud received a
donation of 200. 600 thalers.
From 1866 10 1870 Moltkc was pre-
pairing for the war with France,
which had become inevitable When
the bolt fell in 1870 no man was prob
ably less moved than he. Nothing
more wonderful than the swift mobill-
zation OF the German armies In 1870
has ever been seen. unless IL be the
skill and persistence with which the
march through France was conducted,
and the successive victories NJ Sedan.
Metz and Paris were achieved.
Moltke conducted or designed NIL
these operations. Neither the extent
OF the field occupied. the magnitude
and wide distribution OF the forces
engaged. nor the plans OF the enemy.
could confuse or embarass him. With
his maps and colored pins he followed
the march OF the troops. decided on
points TO be occupied. grasped the In
tentions OF the enemy. and nine times
out OF ten carried out his purposes
triumphantly despite all obstacles.
For his services in this war he was
made a Count and General Field-Mar-
shall. His constitution was OF iron.
Throughout the war with France he
worked necessarily. taking little sleep
and no diversion. but he returned to
Berlin with health unbroken. All
the old German cities conferred hon
orary citizenship upon him. and he
was given a large donation. After
the war he settled down Ia routine
life. spending part Of his tlmc on his
estate at Kreis va. attending TO his
army duties. and occupying his seat In
the Reichstag. OF which body he was
made life member.
