Take this seat madam" said young man,
rising and politely raising his hat.
The madam" says the Free Lance. was a
lady Of uncertain age, who, after boarding
the car and casting a searching glance from
one end Of the seat 10 the other and then
down the opposite side had failed to lind an
interstice between the sitters SUFFICIENT to at
ford even so thin person as herself rest
ing place.
She had then seized a strap with each hand
and determined look and was holding on
firmly when the young gentleman aforesaid
vacated his seat for her.
Before ] accept your seat. young man"
remarked the woman, I must ask you what
prompted you 10 offer it to mes'
The donor was not prepared for such a
query. He had been in the habit Of reltn-
gushing his seat to standing ladies unques
tionably and having the seat accepted in a
similar unQuestioning manner So he was at
loss how to reply, and stammered:
"W-W-Why, madam"
Yes, want to know why, " interrupted the
lady IN a severe tone. Did you offer ne that
seat because you thought 1 was too old and
feeble to Standgn
oh, no, indeedl' protested the young man
with unnecessarily fOrcible protestations.
Because if you did | shall insist uDon re-

mol an old woman. I'm quite young, in fact
and If you've got the impression that I'm old

OF that idea. Was that your thought in offer
ing me your seat? Now contest l want to

The young man by this time was very red
IN the face He thought it was very hard to
be subjected to such close examination of his
motives in performing an act of kindness, by
the beneficiary Of that kindness too and be-
fore carload of people who were listening
with deep interest to the discussion of street
car etiquette, although the discussion was a
onesided one.
Now went on the catechiser without
pausing for an answer, If, on the other hand
you rendered me your seat as mark of def
erence and homage to the sex to which 1 be-
long, shall be happy to accept it. Now,
which was it?"
As she now seemed to have come TO a full
stop the embarrassed young man attempted
to answer.
II gave you my seat because I am going to
get out"
And he did.
AS he jumped from the car without troub-
ing the driver to stop, the woman settled her

Doubtful Rennrta.

The republican papers would not feel
they were doing their duty if they did
not publish reports intended to lessen MIR.
Cleveland's popularity. Not long ago
they gave wide circulation to q story that
the friendly relations between him and
Mr.. Whitney had been broken off They
asserted that Mr.. Whitney, with the
approval of Mr.. Cleveland, had made
promises to Tammany leaders relative to
patronage which Mr.. Cleveland refused
to fulfill, Mr.. Whitney stated that there
had been no interruption of his friendship
for MIR. Cleveland, but his statement was
not credited. The report about the
broken promises and quarrels continued
to be repeated until a great many people
believed it. 1t turned out finally that there
was no foundation for it. Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Whitney are excellent friends.
Now the report has been started that
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Lamont, the Sec
rotary of War, have had a falling out.
The alleged cause is that Mr. Cleveland
answered Mr.. Lamont roughly when the
latter was earnestly urging the appoint
ment to Office of certain New Workers. Ac-
NOlhtAlE W bllC oUOIg Illdb SOlllt VI GllG re
publican papers are printing Mr. Lamont is
prevented from resigning only by the fear
that his resignation would make a big
political scandal and injure the Demo-
cratic party. Coupled with this story is
the statement that Mr.. Cleveland has the
idea that "he is the country and that any
thing he may do is right no matter how
ill-advised"
1t is apparent what the purpose of sto-
ries of this kind is 1t is to bring Mr.
Cleveland into disrepute with the people
! and weaken his influence. There are no
good reasons for believing the stories are
true. On the contrary, it is doubtful
if they have any foundation Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Lamont have been close
| friends for many years. They have been
extremely helpful to each other, and Gas
far as the public is aware, the greatest
harmony has always existed between
them. II is hardly reasonable to suppose,
therefore, that they have quarreled over
| the appointment of a few men to office.
The story that they have is not a reason
/ able one.

A National Capitol Incident.

1t happened during the long vacation, be-
fore congress convened, says The Washington
Post, that an unknown lady strolled into the
rotunda Of the capitol. There was nobody
about but the guides and few tourists and a
couple Of friends who were with the unknown
suggested to her that she try the acoustics of
the hall. AT first she demurred but the idea
seemed to fascinate her. AS she stood silent
for moment as ii waiting for her accompani-
ment, something in her easy pose suggested
familiarity with the footlights. Then she
lifted up her voice and sang-easily and IN
aHectedly as bird-and such singing! 1t was
only simple old ballad, but the voice was
pure and clear, the phrasing fine, and elocu-
ton excellent.
But this was not all The echoes of the
great dome awoke and joined in the song IN
til 1t dmagnifted and expanded into a
whole great chorus. The guards and guides
crowded in to hear this impromtu concert
and even the anxious Sight-seers, who had
allotted fifteen minutes to do the capitol 3"
paused TO listen. 1t was grand; it was in
spring, and the singer seemed to enjoy this
realization of her art which she could never
attain in an ordinary hall. When she paused
round of applause awoke other echoes until
it sounded like the tribute of a great audience.
And then the singer, realizing her situation
departed Who she was no one at the capitol
knows, but remark as she thanked the door
keeper, saying that she had sung in many
halls, but none like this, gave rise to the sur
mise that she was not unknown to fame

An Aneodote of Cardinal Gibbons,

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-08-17

The Philadelphia Press thinks IL notes
in the southern press o healthful change
OF sentiment in regard TO lynchings.
Referring 70 recent editorial utterances
OF the MORNING NEWS, Charleston News
and Courier, New Orleans Picayune and
other southern journals. coudemnatory
Of these outrages, the Press says: at
was only short time ago that southern
organs of public opinion were excusinR or
consenting TO these outrages and declar-
ing that lynchinF was the only fit pun
ishment for assaults upon white women.
But as lynching has failed to stop the
crime of rape, and as one brutality after
another has been added, these same or
eans are crying out in agony over the re-
suits Of their own teachings" While it
is gratifying to see a northern republican
newspaper at last acknowledging the
efforts of southern newspapers to sup
press lawlessness, it is our unpleasant
duty to say to the Press that it has
missed the truth There is not an "or-
gan Of public opinion in the south
worthy of serious consideration that has
excused or consented to lynchings. The
MORNING News and its able contempor-
aries named above, together with every
other southern daily of acknowled stand
ing, have constantly and continuously in
weighed against this particular form of
lawlessness. There has been no change
of position in the southern press in re
gard to lynching
