CopYinR an Imaginarv Man

In a recently Published story Mark
Twain edited US with the imaginary adj
ventures in London of man who had not
penny in the world besides one bank note
for 81 100000. The hero, a man Of culture
and refinement, was a stranger in the great
city, and after an extraordinary concatena-
ton of events, was put in possession OF the
bank note, which belonged TO a rich old
crank, by the Old crank himself, for the
purpose Of proving that an intelligent
stranger in London with no money except a
note Of that size would not starve to death
The old crank's brother had bet a large sum
with him that a man 80 situated would
starve in thirty days. He did not starve,
however, but came out of the difficulty a
millionaire.
1t appears that the story has been read
and pondered well by a Pennsylvania
woman, and that she has undertaken to
duplicate the Imaginary mans perform
ances. And, SO far, she has had fair sue
cess. A few days ago the woman appeared
at boarding house at YardIey Station.
She ordered supper, the best the place could
afford, and spent the night at the house.
lord by offering him a 81 200 bill in pay =
ment. OF course he couldn't change it. The
woman had nothing smaller, she said. But it
dld not make any difference with the land
lord if she could not pay the small amount
right then; he could wait and in the mean .
time, if he could do anything for her, he
begged that she would command him. At
the railroad station a similar scene, with
variations, was enacted. The ticket agent
stared in amazement at the big bill and
nearly fell down to worship at the woman's
feet. But he didn't give her a ticket. She
then boarded the train, struck the conduo-
tor dumb with her big bill and passed with
out paving.
So far, so good. The woman was bound
toward Philadelphia. II she was, indeed,
working the Eel 1000, 900 bank note" scheme
she was probably brought up with round
turn the first time she offered her bill to be
changed in the city. A bank note for
81 900 900 might, indeed. make all London
the virtual slaves Of its possessor, and a
$1,000 note in rural Pennsylvania town
might hypnotic the natives But in the
cities 81 900 bills are comparatively COM

There are rumors in Brooklyn OF war be-
tween the mayor of that city and
the governor Of New York. The gov
ernoT recently vetoed what was
known as the Brooklyn BILL" q
measure to legalize some very queer pro-
ceedings on the part of the Brooklyn board
Of aldermen. The aldermen had paid out
most extraordinary sums for grand stand
and incidentals for a public celebration, and
iobbery and fraud had been charged by the
newspapers. In his veto message Gov.
Flower used some expressive verbs aud adj
jectives, saying among other things that if
there had been robbery he did not pro-
pose to become a party to it by signing a
bill making it legal. The mayor has taken
exception to this and similar expressions
and may sue the governor for libel. If he
does not sue he will probably publish q
statement defending the board. Gov.
Flower, however, has the whip hand in the
controversy,

Those farmers who have an idea that it
would be a good thing for them 10 give
cotton more and food crops less acreage
this year than they did last. are reminded
that not at any time since the war has the
price Of hogs been as high as at present.
And there is every indication that the price
will tie higher still. The New York Times
report says: "Hogs weighing from 100 so
100 pounds are now selling at the extraordi-
nary figures of 8 TO So cents per pound,
live weight, and from 9}5 to 1O% cents per
pound, dressed weight, by wholesale, which
means that the consumer will have to pay
from IS TO % cents per pound for the diff
ferent cuts Of pork. The supply is scarce
and the country is being ransacked for
stock, and everything having the shape Of
hog, no consideration being given to age
or quality, is now on the market at sellers
prices The daily arrivals Of hogs are
averaging with but twenty-one cars a day.
as compared thirty-rive to forty cars the
same time last year"

Richard Croker denies that he ever said
politicians make better city officers than
business men," What he did say, he tells a
reporter at Jacksonville, was this; THAT if
business men, when they go into public life,
would pay one-tenth part the attention to
their official duties that they do to their own
business affairs, they would make much
better Office holders than they do" And
there is probably good deal of truth in
that

The British admiralty has adopted a
wire-wound. quick-iring 6-inch gun
weighing seven tons, which sends an
elongated shot of 100 pounds a distance Of
four miles. The gun can be fired SO rapidly
that there would be four shots in the air at
once. Forty of these guns are TO be put on
British ships almost at once. Where would
our Vesuvius be in a fight with a strong
and swift ship armed with such terrible
weapons! She would never get near
enough to use her blow-guns with any hope
of success.

1t is to be hoped that the general meeting
OF the Cotton Growers Association, to be
held in Memphis on Feb. 90, will formulate
some argument that will convince planters
Of the folly of planting too much cotton.
That is the purpose of the meeting, and the
prospects are that the attendance upon it
will be three times as large as that of last
year. Cotton planters have before them
daily an object lesson in the value of raising
more provisions and less cotton Ia the mar
ket reports. "Hog and hominy" are sky
high" while cotton is only beginning to re-
cover from the excessive crop of 1S9I-'g2.
But cotton planters are VIGOROUSLY "bullet-
headed" about their acreage when the mar
ket is anywhere In the neighborhood Of 10
cents just prior to the planting season.
Many of them promise to reduce their
acreage by one-fourth or one-fifth and 60
right Off aud do lust the reverse. The
proper function OF the farmers alliance was
to attend to that kind of thing, but 1t threw
away its usefulness and influence by dab
bling in politics

The "society' Actor.

For month or more New York has been
laughing at the antics OF Robert l.. Cutting,
Jr., a stage-struck society" swell, who is
trying to tecome an actor, with poor pros
poets of success. Mr.. Cutting Is a member
of the social -Four Hundred designated by
Mr.. McAllister, but it does not appear that
he is much else. About the only thing he
ever did worthy of note was to persuade
a pretty Jewish actress of unquestioned
talent, Miss Minnie Seligman, to become
Mrs. Cutting. Even in that instance it is
probable that the social prestige of his fam
lily, ana the notoriety that might be got out
of the marriage, was OF more influence than
the lovers pleadings. For IL Mr.. Cutting
pleaded his personal love affair with no
more eloquence of language and gesture
than he pleads the cause of the character he
impersonates on the stage, according to his
critics, he was a decidedly commonplace
lover.
The newspapers and his audiences have
fred whitening criticisms at young Mr.
Cutting until he has been completely rid
died; still he sticks to tho stage. AS a son
ciety man he had some little success as an
amateur actor, and the notices he received
then evidently turned his head He is fas-
cinated with acting, it seems, and cannot
tear himself away from the footlights.
Furthermore, he is sure his critics are en-
vious Of his success, and is determined to
make them acknowledge his genius In the
long run. His eRotism, however, is
not exceptional in the "swell set.n There
are hundreds Of young men and women In
society" who imagine that they can act,
and who would be delighted to help elevate
the stage, IL any manager would let them.
Dozens Of them, men and women, have
tried it within a few years. but there have
been no conspicuous successes among them.
Cutting is only one of a large number Of
society" stage people who will soon be for
gotten.
