popular young men of wealth tells q
story at his expense. The youth on a
recent visit to Chicago was riding in a
crowded car in that city when two bust
ling women entered and one exclaimed :
There's no chance of getting seat
here" The Baltimorean dotted his hat
and invited her 10 take his place, to her
utter surprise. The car became more
crowded and madame's shrill voice said :;
"Won't you sit in my lap 2" The courtly
Baltimorean bowed again and said II
do not deem myself worthy OF that
honor" "Why, didn't mean you. /

answer.

THE OLD WHITE SOLD.
So Says Dame Rumor and Newspaper

The Cincinnati Commercial-G Gazette says
news has been received in that city af-
fectlng a big deal, in which the Chesa-
peake and Ohio is not a little interested
The story is TO the effect that the White
sulphur Springs has been sold. and that
the popular resort will be handled for all
the money there is In t.; that the pur-
chaser is Mr.. II. T. Wilson. the New
York banker, who. with Mr.. Huntington.
was the joint owner OF the Louisville,
New Orleans and Texas road. The White
Sulphur Springs, which is on the line Of
the Chesapeake and ohio, belonged to the
estate Of W. a. Stewart, OF Saltville, Va,
and Colonel George w. Palmer, OF the
same place. The exact figures a~e not
given. but the amount must be a big one,
since the last price asked for the springs
was $4,000 The property includes 5000
acres Of land. the hotel and a large num-
Der OF cottages. The hotel is one Of the
largest in the country, equipped to ac-
commodate $500 guests. and Is the most
popular and fashionable mountain resort
in the South.
General Manger Stevens, when | asked
him yesterday, said that he knew moth
ing Of the deal. and did not think the
Chesapeake and Ohio had any hand in the
matter. He says there was a meeting Of
the directors Of the springs while he was
there few days ago. but that he heard
nothing Of their action. Colonel Palmer
was in the city this week. in attendance
upon the meetings Of the Board of Agri-
culture. but did not refer TO the matter
while here. A telegram TO him at Salt
Vile last evening failed of a reply. Mr..
y. f. Eakle, Of the White replied 10

he had no information, but had heard the

IT is a disgrace TO civilization. We saw
