Tale of the Town Pump.


On Four.and-a-half street just below the
City Hall stands a pump. There is moth
ing queer about the pump, its shape or its
water although 1t is the only pump for
many squares, but il is amusing to see the
characters that stop to get drink at that
pump before the light of day
Toward midnight, when persons going
to the pump become lesf frequent and IL
nally stop, the old pump becomes dry, or
rather the suckers or washers become dry,
and air leaking through fills the vacuum
and the water in the pump sinks. When
tn, washers on the valves once become
dry no AMOUNT OF pumping Will raise
the slightest quantity of water until addi-
tional water is poured in from the top to
moisten the leather washers.
Not many mornings s1ncs a late, or ra-
ther early, retirer snt nu nearby iron
porch to watch the antics of continuous
stream of thirsty, noy citizens, OF all
shades and conditions, WHO visited the
pump about a. M.

AT ONE END OF THE PHONE.

Did you ever try 10 guess the other half
OF a talk by telephone? 1t is one of the
most interesting studies in the world to
unravel a whole story with only one side
given as basis OF Interpretation.
Reconstructing a conversation and d.
vining what the people are talking about,
when only one voice is audible, is q much
more difficult task than putting a new leg
on an ancient statue of Diana or restoring
a poetic fragment of the burning Sappho.
Edgar Poe developed the theory that it
is possible to determine what people are
thinking about by noting certain circum-
stances of their demeanor, what they look
at, what the objects suggest, and hence a
revelation of the train of thought. The tele-
phone problem, however, transcends in
subtlety this suggestion of the poet, and
has for thousands of people a strange
fascination.
| have made the subject of the interpreta-
tion of telephone talk a special study
for several years and have concluded that
it is possible to so arrange the fragments
heard at one end of the telephone as to
make the whole dialogue as intelligible as
an Illuminated manuscript.
The chief difficulty i'll the way of master
ing this art is that the novice is apt to
jump at conclusions, unwarned by the fate
of the dog that jumped at the conclusion
of the cat. This common error and vice
in Interpretation is best Illustrated by a
few examples, which viii also show how
they can be avoided.
JUMPING AT co ONCLUSIONS.
One OF my pupils-my present class
numbers thirteen-reported TO me a con-
clusion he had arrived at by listening to a
series OF expressions at the telephone at
the Arlington hotel. What he heard was
this

the inviting pump. The lever handle fell
and rose with a few mournful groans
and screeches, and, being philosopher
and seeing that all attempts to raise the
cool liquid would be useless, the gentleman
limped Off
colored boy was the next on the scene,
and a vigorous youth he was. He kept
the handle of that pump going for "A fun
ten minutes, and no water. In the mean
time the dismal and ear-spiitting screeches
given out by the lever had aroused half
the neighborhond, who. awakening, real
lied that a pitcherful Of pump water
would be only too acceptable.
As the coiored youth went away resi-
dents of Four-and-a-half street flocked
to the pump and worked the handle until
every one was perspiring like stoker.
Then some one suggested that a little
Potomac water "ured into the small
aperture would lie matters Not a
soul budged, each hoping the other would
get the water.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

A case of more than ordinary interest was
tri"d before Justice Cole yesterday. 1t was
The application Of one John Dugan. who
Gad been arrested for overdriving a horse
on a trial track, for a writ of habeas
corpus from the police court. The Gaze
involved the validity Of an act of the legIs-
lative assembly, which governed the Dis
trict I'm 1871, and which gave the police
urtpower to inflict certain drastic punish
ment for cruelty TO animals. The applica-
,ion of Mr. Dugan was dismissed, and the
petitioner remanded to the custody of the
court below.
Without any wish to prejudice the case on
appeal, and with no desire to pass upon
the question of Mr.. nugan's guilt or other
wise. The Times feels called upon to make
some remarks on this case.
The punishment OF animals, especially
of horses, is, after all, matter of degree
For the man who. brutally and wantonly
illtreats a good and patient equine no
punishment can be too severe and none

court sentences can adequately "fit the

grade OF offense the power Of the local
minor court will moi be curtailed.

kind against the four-footed animal. 1t

The story of Mark Twain's trouble, of
the failure of the publishing house with
which he was identified, and of the con
sequcnt financial ruin in which he is in
volved. has already been told in thousands
of newspapers. 1t is generally known, too,
thai he has undertaken lecturing tour
around the world, not for the purpose OF
retrieving his shattered fortunes from
personal standpoint. but with the ayowed
intention of satisfying all creditors, stat
utes of limitation and Insolvency laws to
the contrary twithstanding.
There have been some who doubted
Twain's honesty in the matter, but thest
doubts should be forever set at rest by his
interview before leaving for Australia.
The law recognizes no mortgage on mans
brain, a" said he, ''and a merchant who has
given up all he has mny take advantage

literature And il iStmphasized and glori-
fled when he declares: IF l live l can
pay off the last debt within four years,
after which, at the age OF Ga, l can

The parallel OF Twain's case TO that of
Sir Walter Scott has been brought up; but
Scott lived in another country. The syco-
phants VINO fed on his glory were found
wanting whe misfortune came, but
Clemens has met friends everywhere, men
who applaud his almost heroic efforts as
they glory inhisnlanlineSs.
