II VISA Hot.

I Some wretch, who evidently delights
to see mankind swelterfng in perspira-
ton, played rascally practical joke on
about two hundred passengers who were
In the waiting room of the Staten Island
ferry. For some reason. the arrival Of
the long expected boat was delayed; the
crowd was therefore large. and as the
night was intensely warm, the atmos-
phere In that close room was not only
enervating, but distressing. The weather
was unanimously voted to be the warm
est of the season-hot enough to parboil
q Hottentot. It was then discovered
that the Turkish bath temperature had
been caused by practical joker, who
had unfeelingly turned on the steam
heat. Yankee Blade.

Radical English Fashions Don't 90.


The recent refusal to sanction with

has received naturally severe shock in
consequence. From all accounts the
London swell mob Is passing through Q
period Of experimentation. As q result
mems fashions abroad have not been 20
unsettled in fifty years.
The heavy swells continue cropping
aimlessly after the elusive innovation.
For their independence 1t this time,
therefore, Americans have cause for self
congratulation--the more particularly

character Of some Of the foreign ultra

recent London fads In coats and top
coats, had they been tried suddenly on
the New York public, would have Great

lish swell, be It known, can dress him
self up as his fancy dictates and the
yeomanry makes no cutlery.
Now that we have thrown of the
shackles Of slavish emulation and blithe-
ly accept or reject what we want, or
what does not appeal to the sense Of the

to wealthy bachelors suffer far more
frightfully from broken hearts than
other women do, and that cash, and
cash only. and plenty Of ii, can set the
Tilted damsel'e affections running In the
normal way again.
Mr.. Charles II. Ingersoll saw pretty
cashier IN Boston restaurant one day.
She was behind her desk. He was pre-
sumably transferring some wooden
toothpicks from the little vase on the
desk to his vest pocket when their eyes
met, and he3was transfxed then and
there. He loved her at first sight. He
made some pretext to address her, still
transfixed by her soulful eyes, and pre-.
sumably took some more toothpicks,
He came again to that restaurant No
hash ever tasted as sweet MS that hash.
No wooden toothpiclrs were ever sharp
ened like those on the pretty cashiers
desk. An acquaintance followed, then
shortly an engagement Of marriage.
Would that we could dwell upon the
halcyon days that come after and renew
our youth Rnt we dare not We
hasten on.
Charles wrote to Annie-we win call
her Annie, Annie Bausch, for that was

There Is where she had him and has him
still. II he had not written those fatal
red hot letters but let us not anticipate.
He babe her be careful Of her health and

exquisite bit OF wit:

And then alas that we shouldaiive tt
write it--C Charles love cooled off. When
Annie's parents asked him about what
season of the year he expected to make
her his fair bride, be up and answered,
Never" But Annie has the bagful Of
red hot love letters still. They are now
her only consolation and she win use
them. She has sued for $4,000.
This story teaches elderly bachelors
not to go fooling around pretty girls in

Mr. Grfsn X Gems q MET

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-5peaker Crisp
was seen this morning, but still declines
to say anything about the Reform club
dinner. Little doubt is entertained that
he has received a letter of some sort
from Mr. E. Ellery Anderson in reference
to Mr.. Anderson's failure to call on him
for speech, bu, Mr.. Crisp himself will
not say whether or not he has received
any communication from Mr.. Anderson
and refuses to discuss the incident, taking
the ground that the subject is delicate
one and that it would be improper for
one Of the parties concerned to make
comment on it. 1t may be, however,
that in view of the general publication
given the embarrassing affair, Mr.. Crisp
will decide to make public the text OF
any explanation he has received lron
Mr. Anderson or any other person con
nected with the dinner, and, IN the
words of diplomacy, ''regard the incl

SOUTHERN VIEWS
As Expressed by Two Georgia News
paper Men.


New YORK, Dec. 14.-Captain Evan
T. Howell, the principal owner of the
Atlanta Constitution, which has the lar
gest daily circulation of any democratic
paper 10 the southern states, and Col
Fat Walsh, editor Of the Augusta Chron-
icle, another influential southern demo-
cratic paper, were in group of friends
at the Fifth Avenue hotel to day when
the Crisp Mills Cleveland reform club
banqent affair came up for discussion.
Col. Walsh said: ''It has been said
that the reason they did not let Speaker
Crisp make an address was because he
was Tree silver man. That is fine ar
gument, since Mills voted in the house
for every free silver measure that was
ever presented He would have ruined
himself with his constituents if he had
not done so. When he was in the house
he was III such a position that if he had
voted against free silver coinage he would
have been defeated for re nomination In
the senate he voted for such bill too,
because he had pledged himself to so
vote to get the senatorship. Crisp is as
good tariff reformer ss Mills, better
for he would go slow and not destroy
any industries. We must have revenues
to pay the expenses of the government
and the revenues above the point where
they will be virtually on the free trade
basis should he used for Incidental pro
lection. If the democratic party is 60
ing to give the nation the extreme OF
free trade there is trouble ahead for it.
Speaker Crisp has been strengthened by
the affair in which his humiliation was
attempted He is stronger to day than
before it happened"
Captain Howell was much more pro
nounced, saying: The south is full o!
men like myself who do not want the
extreme of protection nor the extreme o.
free trade. We believe in the COLDER
mean as the best for the country. l wa
not at the reform club banquet, but
have read the speeches made there.
can tell you that if Tom Johnson ha(
made few such speeches as he deliver
ed at the banquet in the southern state
during the campaign there would no
have been one state in five south o
Mason and Dixons line that would hav
voted for Cleveland. What the soutl
wants is not free trade of the extreme
character, nor yet protection of the eZ
treme character We want the eve
and eqnable tariff for revenue requires
by the government for its expenses wit
protection from incidental revenue ap
piled where it will do the most good t
the greatest number"
