MEN ABOUT TOWN.
Short Stories Gathered From the
Hotel Corridors.
Judge Blanchard's Rooster A secretary's
Troubles-Ingalls and Newspaper Men.
McComb Had Enough.

Judge Blanchard of Ell Dorado, who has
doomed UP of late as Senatorial candidate,
is one Of the most genial of men, but sensi-
tive to the last degree. During the recent
campaign the Judge made a very active
canvass for Congress and stumped his dis
trict from end to end. When he reached
Modesto he was received with open handed
hospitality, and a stand was erected on the
principal street from which he was to ad-
dress the voters. When lie arose he was in
the best of spirits, and in few moments he
was scOurging the Democrats with his
tongue in manner that called for round
after round of Republican applause. In the
midst of one Of his mos. eloquent flights a
rooster crowed shrlll and clear and the
Judge paused. He glanced keenly over the
crowd ana proceeded. Scarcely mad he re-
sumed his theme when the notes rang out
again. Angered at the interruption, Judge
Blanchard stopped abruptly. glared for a
moment at the audience and forged ahead
again.
When the interruntion was repeated a
third time he said: IF some one will re-
move that Democrat from the audience l
shah esteem it a great favor, otherwise l
must decline to proceed"
1t took several minutes to explain 10 the
Judge that the Democrat was full-hedged
rooster, cooped mp in a poultry-store around
the corner.

Not an Easy Berth.

-" travelled in the same car from Wash
ington to Fostoria with Secretary Foster"
said Ed Curtis yesterday, land he talked
quite freely in regard to the financial situa-
ton. l am convinced that he will fill the
office of Secretary of the Treasury with
great credit. The Office is the most difficult
of all Cabient positions to fill satisfactorily,
and no officer of the Government is con-
fronted with so many perplexing questions.
AS an illustration of this the Secretary told
me that among the peculiar problems pre-
scented to him on the first day of his incum-
bency was one from Alaska. 1t seems that
an American leased few years ago an
island in the Behriug Sea for the propaga-
ton of blue foxes. The animals increased
and hourshed until he Melted an income of
$1,000 year from the sale Of furs. The
idea then occurred to him to lease two more
Sandstone for gray foxes aud another for
the admiXture of the two colors. The ques-
ton must be decided blythe Secretary in
person"
