At any rate, it is impossible to extract
from MI. Murphy anything but COM
plimentary references to Mr.. Cleveland
at this time.
1t seems odd that the senator's eager
interest in art should have escaped
general notice. He is a splendid Judge
of a picture. Not that he processes to
be a connoisseur or buys paintings
indiscriminately, but hs possesses
fund of information concerning the
old and the new masters and takes an
interest in artists that make him the
best informed man on these topics in
the senate. 1t is to him, if to anybody.
that the art lovers and patrons must
look for an appreciation of their diff
culties with the tariff. Heretofore the
complaint has been that congress has
lacked man interested enough to be-
come a champion Of American artists.

drunkenness on the part of female
society leader manifested more ex-
traordinarily than during the services
at an Episcopal church Sunday or
two ago.
It was during the sermon at morn-
ing celebration. and q preacher of
national reputation occupied the pull
pit The pewholders of this particular
church are almost all very wealthy.
Well up front sat q widely-known New
Yorker with his wife, who is some ten
years his junior and noted for her social
trumphs. She was noticea bly, restless
during the sermon, but not until she
burst into a loud laugh did the congre-
cation become much alive to the fact
Then the husband was seen to grasp
his wife and endeavor to carry her out
bodily This she resisted, and the
lady in the pew ahead came to his as
sistance- At last the incoherent one
was got out of church. and it was
stated then that a hysterical attack had
caused all the trouble.
The truth is that the woman was
drunk. Despite tho early hour, tho
tippling had already become too much
for her dignity. That family has given
up its pew, and Is now away in the
country. They are people Of power
in both the social and the financial

ONE MANS DIPLOMACY.
IT Stopped the Babys Crying and Earnos

It Stopped the Baby's Crying and Earned
Him Everlasting Gratitude.
1t was in an 81 train and baby
was crying with all the strength of its
two-year-old lungs. nThe expression
ON the faces OF the occupants of the
car changed from Indifference to pity,
then to annoyance, and finally to
downright anger. Finally, says the
New York Recorder, a man two OF three
seats from the cIylng child leaned
over and snapped his fingers quickly.
The effect was magical. The child
stopped in the middle of a yell, and
gazed open eyed and open mouthed at
the man. He snapped his fingers sew
eral times, then, accompanying them
with grotesquely cheerful smiles and a
peculiar shake of his head which
seemed to highly interest the cross
cherub and appeal. to his sense of
humor, for a wavering little smile
crept around the corners of the droop-
ing mouth and the cries ceased for
good. The man leaned back in his
seat, bestowing occasional cheerful
winks and smiles at tho vanquished
foe.
He reaped his reward. The old fell
low next to him declared he had diplo-
macy enough to make a prime minis
ter. the men opposite peeped at him in
friendly recognition over the tops Of
their papers, the woman near him with
nerves and a headache said: Thank
you" and the pretty girl in the cor
ner gave him sweet smile. That man
left the car followed by score of
blessings, and the cross baby turned
over and actually went to sleep.

STAR SHOWERS.
Tins when They Fell from the Heavens
Like Hail.

The first OF the notably third OF
into the records occurred on November
10, 1899, and was witnessed by Hum
boldt, the scientist traveller, in South
America Humboldt gave vivid de-
scription of it. which is in books on
popular astronomy. Boupland, an
other scientific writer who also OBJ
served the display, said that from the
was not space in the armament equal
In extent to three diameters of the
moon that was not filed at every mo-
ment with bolides and falling stars
The next of these third of century
star showers occurred on the night of
November 12, 1888, and it lasted seven
Or eight hours. During most of this
time the meteors flying through the air
were as thick as snowfiakes in mod
erate snowstorm. This was seen all
over North America. In the southern
states many of the slaves were so
frightened by the spectacle, thinking
the end of the world had come, that
some of them died with terror. But
the fright was shared in to a large ex-
tent by whites also. and all over the
country.
Thirty-three years later, or in 1860,
Europe saw almost as remarkable q
star shower, at the same time in No
vember, which lasted six or seven
hours: but as this country was still
turned toward the sun at that time we
missed most of it. The next year,
though, the shower came when it was
night here, and as the atmosphere was
clear it was observed over the greater
part of the United States.
As this third of a century law OF
periodicity is csta blished we may ex-
pect another of those notable displays
in 1899 or 1900 at the same time in No
VEN Der.

CUTTER-RiGGEO YACHTS.

saver Coine tho Birthplace of the Grace

Pearl and Louise were the first
yachts with the distinctive cut ter-rig,
writes Capt. A J. Kenealy in Outing.
The river Colne was, in point OF fact,
the birthplace of the cutter and of the
graceful cutter-stern.
The marquis of An glesey may be
said to have been the parent of Brit
ish yachting, and his descendants have
been glorious patrons of the sport.
The old marquis christened his son,
Lord Alfred Paget, by dipping him
head first into the sea while child in
long clothes, from the deck of the
Pearl. Every yachtnan knows what
Lord Alfred did for the sport in Eng
land, and how capitally the prince of
Wales and he worked together in de-
veloping it. Lord Alfred had the full
management Of the princes yachts,
Alexandria and DagInar, both built for
his royal highness by John Harvey.
Lord Alfred. too, was the first to
recognize the advantage of the auxil-
larry yacht, and John Harvey designed
for him the Xantha, the first of her
kind ever built, and she was followed,
in 1874, by the Sunbeam, Lord Bras
sey's boat, made famous by Lady Bras
Sey's facile pen.

trail of t.yo men and two burros. The

showed that those who had made it

An interesting case of ''the ruling

by the Toronto Mail. A humorist in
Japan who jested all his life told his
friends when he was dying that his
body was not TO be washed after death,
but was To be taken at once to the
family temple to be crenated When
he died his instructions were followed.
and the chief priest took the body to
the cremation ground As soon as it
was set on fire the mourners was as

New York tradesmen have learned to

her for benevolent purposes have led
to an impression that she is free

is erroneous The children of Cor

take their outing in Central park more
