A Doctor Who Refused a Fortune.

DR.. Cover, of Brighton, carried in his
f! pocket a competency for life when he
left the house on Walsingham terrace
with the knowledge of Parnell's death;
for Parnell died at midnight, and the
doctor could have realized a fortune by
selling the exclusive news of the event to
any Of the richer papers in London or
New York.
1t was so when Gambetta died at in
! the morning, AT midnight ne was pro-
nounced convaleseent, The death watch
Of reporters was relaxed Yet one of
them, a Frenchman, member of small
Partisan news agency, came out of wine
shop at early morning and saw a maid
servant running across the grass,
THE master is dead, she called to
him. He stood there in great perplexity.
To whom should he sell the news? He
hesitated between the Paris, London
and New York papers, He finally cabled
thus, "Gambetta died at this morn.
ing" The dispatch reached New York
office at ten minutes before 2, there
being five hours difference between Paris
and New York, Half page of accom-
panying matter was given to the com
positors, and at twenty minutes past .
the whole story was on its way to the
stereotypers.
The reporter is still living on the pro
ceeds Of his "beat;" and the sensation of
Gambetta's death was nothing to that of
Parnell. New York Truth.

the chief executive he thought sure he had

hotel in great spirits.
Days and weeks passed and nothing def

Finally the young man concluded he
would remind the president that he was
anxiously waiting to hear from him. Should
he send noteS No, that wouldn't do.
The young man hitupon novelidea. This
was to send Mr.. Cleveland afioral offering.
He went off to Freeman's and ordered a
splendid bouquet, which he directed sent
to the president with his compliments.
Two days later Senator -, the young
mans influence, went up to the White
House to ascertain what chances his con
stituent had for that consulship.

emphatic reply Il dismissed his case
from my mind two days ago when re-
ceiyed present at his hands. 1t was a

Of the British general who was in command
