of the robbery until the Postmaster was
awakened by the wind blowing in and rat
Ting the papers in the Office. Then he
found the doors open and the place ran
sacked. As soon as possible the Sergeant
of the town was notified. but the men, 1t
is supposed. caught a passing train, and as

THE PRESIDENTS PHYSICIAN.
DIR. Bryant Has an Excellent Professional
Reputation and Avoids Notoriety.

Dr. bryant ID as an Excellent Professional
Reputation and Avoids Notoriety.
DR.. Joseph d. Bryant, President Cleve-
lands family physician, enjoys a distinc-
ton somewhat similar to that which used
to be ascribed in Rome to the pope's con-
fessor. He is the presidents intimate friend
as well as his medical adviser, and goes on
fishing trips with his illustrious patient or
writes professional prescriptions for him
with equally happy facility. 1t has more
than once been limited that he prescribed
these fishing trips quite as much for his
own benefit as for that of the patient, but
that cannot be true. 1t would be ''unpro-
fessional,' and DR.. Bryant never forgets
professional etiquette and amenities, as re-
porters who attempt to interview him in
variably find out.
1t is little singular that DIR. Bryant
name should have become best known 10
the public as that of the presidents physi
clan, but 1t is due entirely to his habit Of
yelling himself and his work from the non
professional gaze. Had he wished it, the
newspapers would gladly have given him
columns of space on more than one occa-
sion, when they were forced to be contented
with the casual mention of his name, for he
has long been eminent in his profession and
has held prominent official positions in
which he might have attracted considera
bic attention to himself had he so desired
But that is not his way
Though he is but As years of age, DR. Bry-
ant has been professor at Bellevue Medi-
cal college in New York since 1877, visiting

MAC as the SWEETEST of New York dudes.
He came over to visit the Worlds fair and
incidentallyto gather impressions" for
new book which he intends to publish when
he goes back, and il is well for our good
name that he should receive those impress
sions among our very best people.
When it is understood that NJ Bourget
is a novelist of the modern French realistic
school and that he devotes his literary
talents to what he himself calls "the an
alytical novel of passion it will be seen
at once how seriously embarrassing it
would prove for us if he got his impress
sions from the wrong kind of people. 1t is
far better that he should while among us
live exclusively with people who have no
vices, but only wealth and high living and
nice houses and good form" NJ Bourget
is used to all these things at home-since
he became famous. Before that he had
some hard lines in Bohemia after his father
threw him off because he wanted to be q
poet and not mathematician. But he has
put off the influences of those days along
with the careless attire and long hair which
he then affected, and now his manner is
faultlessly cold, calm and polished, with
out trait of self consciousness or embar-
rassment and his raiment the extreme of
1nicky neatness
M. Bourgets method OF composition is
peculiar. As he says, II hear stories, di-
gest them and then construct my own
story" This results in series of compos-
lite pictures which he believes to be types
and which the followers of his cult are
willing to accept as such. He says he got
the information about Louisiana on which
he built the character of Lydia Maitland
in "Cosmopolis" from the correspondent
of New York newspaper in Rome, which
is perhaps very good way to get data for
character in a work of fiction, though it
is hard to reconcile it with another state
ment that he loves to live amid the scenes
and in the atmosphere he is describing.
Perhaps he will explain the discrepancy in
the lectures be is announced to deliver be-
fore he returns to France
