The Spanish residents of New
| York hold very high rank in the
social and business worlds. They
are handsome slender men, beautiful
| dark-eyed women. The handling of i'm
| ported cigars is very largely in their hands
| they are prominent on the stock eX-
| change and in the directorate of Mexican
enterprises. One of the best architects
| in New York bears a Spanish
name, and the finest apartment house
| blocks in New York were built by a
| Spanish
| 1t will not be surprising If, in ten years
| the study of Spanish becomes as common
for business reasons as French and Ger
man are now.
NOT FROM VERMONT.
The statement that the new pension
superintendent was born in Ireland, not
! Vermont, is rather funny. 1t had to be
! one or the other. Ireland and Vermont
are pretty prolific of statesmen.
AS a mother of statesmen Vermont has
| surpassed reasonable expectation. Repre-
scented directly by two senators and three
or two representatives, she has usually
had a dozen other congressman in a sense
| representing her accredited to other
states, but born in Vermont not to speak
of Brigham Young, President Arthur,
President Hayes (whO barely escaped
| being born in Vermont and hosts of
others.
| Excepting the special representatives
of the rum interests, whom the big cities
! send to state capitals and to Washington
| our public men are those who were born
! and reared in the country, and especially
J in hilfy country, where there's plenty of
| lime rock.

! city boys aren't in it. Take rowing, for
! instance. The Harlem is the greatest
| practice rowing course in the world eX-
! cept the Thames. 1t is lined with boat
| houses and on pleasant summer day is
full of shells
Did you ever hear in recent years of a
! frst-class sculler from New York; The
! champions of recent years have been
Canadian, Australian and rural Ameri-
can. The best men in the Yale and
Harvard crews are country bred. The
little runts from the city may make good
CoXswains to sit and yell at the others,
but they don't pull in No. q.
Kentucky, Vermont and the rural re-
giOns, generally blue grass and lime rock,
and those parts of the west which are
free from ague will furnish the big men
of this nation while yet.
KING OLLIE THE SUDDEN
The hunger for notoriety which aflicts
Oliver Sumner Teal is not so unusual as
his frankness in admitting it. "Any-
thing to keep my name in the papers, is
his motto, and to this end he not only
makes himself very chumny with all the
reporters, but waylays the editors with
coy beseechings for special notices. His
canvass to be appointed street cleaning
commissioner was an advertising dodge
pure and simple.
l haven't known quite such a pro-
nounced case of thirst for fame since
poor Fred Karcher died.
Karcher wasn't a person of quite such
national fame as the new-crowned King
of Dudedom, being only humble govern
ment official He used to say that he
would rather have the newspapers abuse
him than let him alone, and his actions
did not belle his words. On one occasion
he completely fooled party of reporters
by getting up a bogus duel and the whole
party were locked up overnight. / can't
imagine Ollie Teal doing that. His
methods are more delicate and he plays
to a larger circle.
The old age Of such a youth must be
melancholy, indeed.
