Too Hot For The Reporter.

The drummer in an east-bound Pullman,
just out of Pittsburg, had made friends with a
mild young man and was pumping him, says
the Detroit Free Press.
How far west were you - he asked when
the young fellow had told him he had been
out in that direction.
In Idaho, in mining town.

drummer snorted loud in derision.
No; you're OFF there. 1t was the other
way
How do you mean?"
We'll. you see. we'd had killing scrape in
the paper every day while was there, until

them and didn't find what he was looking for.

Thrifty George Gould tells the New
York board of tax assessors that he and
the other heirs of his father were not in
possession of the Gould estate at the time
the assessment of S10,0OO,000 was made,
therefore he thinks they should not pay
the taxes. However, rather than be
counted mean, he is willing to pay taxes if
the board will reduce tho assessment to
S2,OO0,0O0 This young Gould, it seems, is
actually more grasping and narrow mind
cd than his father was; and that is saying
q lot.

On" At u recent meeting of the Negro
Press Association of Virginia, the ques-
ton Of the kind Of m to be used came
up for discussion One editor objected
TO a consideration of any such question

'We put too much importance upon the

"Let us improve ourselves ana allow
people to spell our name with a big N
or little n, or any kind of II they
wish to-" And his very sensible obiec
tion prevailed.

The bumptuousness of the native New

in this incident, quoted from the New
York Sun: "Some kindly folks in a
small interior city complained after they

east side charity that the airs of superb

Charles Dudley Warner charges Ameri-
cans with fixing their literary standards
upon the same plan that they fix their
money standards, and in money "they fix
the value of dollar at sixty-fve cents
and resent the commercial assertion that
the dollar is 100 cents" Our literature
likewise, he thinks, is put up and passed
for more than it is worth. And that is
what he calls literary Barnumism"

The siamese Situation.

Little Slams proposition to fight
France would seem ridiculous if there
was not a nations autonomy involved,
and certain to be lost whatever the re
suit
Siam is not strong enough to hold its
own against France fora week Without
the intervention of a stronger power, the
little kingdom of the white elephant
would be subdued and occupied in short
order The stronger power that Siam is
depending upon is England 1t is said
application will be made to England to
establish a prOtectOrate over Siam.
If it should appear to the British that
Siam could be turned over to the French
in return for unquestiOned occupancy Of
Egypt, it might be difficult to persuade
the lion to go to the white elephants res
cue. Mr. j. Stewart Wallace, M. P, of
London, who is in New York, says on the
subject of a British protectorate for
Siam: II am afraid it would be rather
premature to give an opinion on that sub
iect now I think l can safely say, how
ever. that England will not be likely to do
ANYTHING in Siam except in conjunction
with France There IS a strong feeling
in England, and one which is constantly
growing, against the annexation policy
or the protectorate policy, which is just
as bad This feeling is most strongly
expressed in the present government
This feeling of opposition to territorial
extension is something new to England.
1t has never yet interfered with her policy
of grab, and it is not likely to do so in
this instance

The silver dollar got New York news
paper into trouble a few days ago. The
Recorder of that city printed a cartoon,
entitled, "Will he stop it or get out Of its
way2" It represents a big silver dollar
rolling down on the President, who is rep
resented in an attitude of fright. Under
thelaw to prevent counterfeiting, it is a
misdemeanor to print fac-simile OF
a silver dollar, and United States
detective entered the Recorders
office and carried off the elecrotype
plates from which the cartoon was
printed, together with the original
sketch. In view of the fact that the
Recorders silver dollar hasn't a striking
resemblance to the genuine silver dollar II
is a question whether the detective was
justified in doing what he did.

A romantic story of youthful love and
disappointment and subsequent lawless-
ness comes from Wisconsin. Fifteen
years ago Annie Morris, pretty girl ff-
teen years of age, lived at Halifax, n. S.
She hada beau and wished toget married,
but objections were raised on account OF
her youth and her plans We're frustrated.
Accompanied by younger brother, she
ran away from homo, donned male attire
and made her way to the west She
adopted the name of Jesse Blouut, and
worked, gambled, smoked, drank and
fought along with the toughest men TO be
found in the lumber and mining camps,
Jesse" was also involved ia several bur
glaries and numerous forgerics. For one
of these forgerics she was arrested the
other day, and it was only then that the
truth was known. It is said that hel

woman's face and become almost TIC

Senator Jones of Nevada, is a typical
silver advocate. Asked for his views on
the financial situa ton he summed it up
thus: people say what we want is con-
fidence. Confidence be gollyswashed
what the people want is money, money,
money. That's what they want, and its
what l want and silver is just as good
money as any other That's the whole
story Senator Jones has silver to sell ;
that's the whole story about Jones. The
people want money, truly; but what they
need is something with which to pur-
chase money. The coinage Of any amount
Of silver dollars would not profit the man
who has nothing to give in exchange fol-
them.

While rumors Of cholera are flying
thick and fast 1t should be remembered
that cholera is a disease that may be easily

Mr.. George Vanderbilt has a queer

ure to reach a bargain put old Jerry on
his mettle, and he now declines to sell at
any price, although Mr. Vanderbilt is
willing TO come to the figures he named.
The consequence is that Jerry and his

A Brooklyn girl who is summering at
Bensonhurst, has developed a new fad.
For three weeks she has regularly, once
a week. been rescued from the bring deep
by handsome young man; a different
young man each time, be it understood.
Last season she was rescued several
times, once by girl, who incurred the
bitter enmity of the rescued for being
more prompt than the young man she had
picked out us the rcscuer. The drown
ing beauty is an expert swimmer. She
frolics in the water, swims, dives and
floats, until u nice looking young fellow is
attracted; then she suddenly and conye-
niently takes a cramp or faints, or does
something that looks like the first scene
Of tragedy, and is more or less promptly
rescued This kind of thing seems to
afford the young woman lots of enjoy
ment, and as it impresses the young men
with the idea that they are unrecognized
heroes, there is probably lots of satisfac-
ton all around.
Misleading headlines are positively
cruel during this hot weather. a case in
point: The St. Louis Republic printed a
column a day or two ago under the cap
tion, The Stocking Habit" Now, what
was more natural than to suppose that
the learned editor had perfected a scheme
whereby the habit might be overcome,
the reformer meanwhile moving in the
/ best society But that wasn't the idea
at all; the editor had ground out a lot of
! Stuf about the financial situation and
