checks, but it is only on condition that he
cheers loudly for Cleveland and groans

man asked young Jim the question:
w hats the matter with Harrison?"
lies no good stuff, " was the quick reply.
Walking along the board walk every day
can be seen little old man whose long hair
and q beard has been whitened by the frosts
OF 80 winters. Much under the average in
height, he dresses in suit of clerical black,
made conspicuous by long frock coat and
high silk hat. He is strange contrast to
the tall. solemn looking colored body serv
ant on whose arm he always leans. The dis
tinGuished looking little man is
the Rev. Dr. Leyburn, pastor of the Inde
pendent Presbyterian Church of Baltimore
OF Mary Garrett, that woman whose rare
genius enabled her to successfully fill the
business position made vacant by the death
of the late Robert Garrett the mainstay OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

He Used to BE in ALLEGHENY.
The little preacher has not the physical
power to deliver any more sermons, but he
inspires many and chooses the subjects for
many more. The leading amusement of the
venerable old man is to sit in a shady nook
and watch life and character file past on the
boardwalk. Years ago DR.. Leyburn used to
charm the residents of Allegheny by his
elder Garrett first listened to his persuasive
words.
William p. Tyler, who is one of the big
business guns of your city. and who is noted
IN nONs sanI l.,s,
now acquired with strong grasp the popu-
lar superstition that it is unlucky to start
on journey on Friday. Twice within the
past month has he been in a railroad acci-
dent and he attributes it all to the TACT that
he started on Friday. The week before last
the hrst accident occurred at Harrisburg
fortunately no person was killed. but
several were injured. On the next Friday
while comfortably seated in a railroad Car
at MI. Joy, Mr.. Tyler took part in another
accident. The only injury in the last on
was received by brakeman who had his
shoulder dislocated. Mr.. Tyler has been
something of a medical student in his time
and fortunately was just far enough ad-
vanced in surgery to be able to put the suf-
fering brakenan's shoulder back in place.
Therefore there was nothing for the surgeon
to do when he arrived, but examine
the job performed by Mr.. Tyler and
pronounce IL clever one. Mr.. Tyler
accompanied by his wife, is making sea
sons visit at the Traymore Mrs. Tyler,
who is always the center of an Intellectual
group, is we'll known in Pittsburg literary
circles by her clever work over the nom de
plume "Nera." For these gifts, as well as
for a certain graciousness OF manner, the
Tvlers are welcomed in all circles.
1t is not proper at all times to tell good
story, and especially is it bad policy to tell
case I know of, which occurred this week.
the story can be told in an imper sonal way
and it will do very well to show how the
women folks can teach an aspiring new

How She Was OutgeneraIed.
This particular woman halls from Western
Pennsylvania, and if a bank account that is
practically inexhsustible can pave the way
to good society, Mrs. Shoddy is going to as
cend to the topmost pinnacle with
speed and eclat. The lady in
question was splendid housewife,
nof afraid of work until her
husbands grand father died and made the
couple immensely rich. Then Mrs. Shoddy
cropped out in diamonds and silken stuffs,
and the very idea OF work made her slightly
ill. The husband is a man of good common
sense, and when his vile asked him to take
part in a grand hon to be given by the
management of the Pacific Avenue Hotel
where the couple are stopping, he said in
effect that he'd be darned If he would. Mrs.
Shoddy. however, resolved to go to this par
ticular hop with her best bib and tucker
and all the diamonds she had lately ac-
quired- She thought to make up for the
absence OF her husband by a lavish display
and the afternoon before the hop conf
dentially said aloud that the other "wimmin
wouldn't be in it."
Now everybody knows that al sea side
hop it is perfectly proper for a man to go to
the affair clad in any garments SO long as
they are respectable. They may be white
flannel, blue serge. or a full dress suit The
eSsnns are The to LADIES' light Sss
heard that Mrs. Shoddy promised to
make diamond display that would totally
eclipse them, SO they put their dear little
heads together and determined they would
jewel, and Mrs. Shoddy sailed across the
floor in perfect blaze of brilliancy. She
was a diamond queen, sure enough, end
when she glanced around the room and
looked in triumph at the other women, the
cruel truth dawned upon her. She had been
outgeneraled, but like 4 genuine woman of
spirit she faced the thing out, and the
next day laughed heartily at it. She was so
good natured through it all that her fair
tormentors relented, and now they are
giving her a few quiet but sensible lessons in
general society department.
