JOHN LowLEs's DENIAL
London. Sept 23-"The Daily Graphic will
tomorrow publish a dispatch from its Paris
correspondent asserting that he has authority
for the statement that NJ Hanotaux. the French
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, has initiated ur-
gent negotiations with the object OF effecting a
speedy settlement Of the Turkish question by
France. England and Russia. There is strong
reason to believe the correspondent declares
that the respective diplomatic representatives, OF
the three Powers in Constsntinople will within
a few days communicate decisive resolution to
the Sultan
The London afternoon papers. which have
hitherto advocated the Intervention OF Russia
in Turkey now scarcely allude to any possible
Interference on the part OF the Car. hut all OF
the papers print columns Of editorials, COM
munications. reports of meetings etc. all Of
which are directed against tho Sultan. The gen
eral tone Of these articles Is in deprecation OF
isolated action on the part Of any Power In Tur-
key. hut strongly favoring an immediate con-
cert OF action.
John Lowles member Of the House Of Com
mons for the Haggerston Division OF Shoredtch
has written a letter 10 The Daily News " In
which he asserts that the remarks made by him
at the meeting held in Shoreditch on the evening

Of Christians by Turks were incorrectly reported

CAN'T SWEEP OFF THE NICKEL
Simple Little Trick That Is Now Amusi
Cnciefy

Simple Little Trick That Is Now Amusing g
Society
A lawyer who has an office in the
New York Life building was at party
the other night where the principal di-
vertisement was tricks, one of which
recalls to the lawyers mind one he
used to do when he was a schoolboy
back in Maine. He called for a whisk
broom, and then, laying nickel in the
center of his open palm, offered it to
any one in the party who would sweep
it off with the broom. One of the con-
ditions was that the broom must be
held straight up and the coin swept
with the ends Of the broom straws.
'Oh, can do that" said young wo-
man, and she took the broom and be-
gan to sweep at the coin. The harder
she swept the tighter the coin stuck to
the open palm OF the lawyers hand.
One after another, each person at the
party tried to sweep off the coin and it
was an astonishing thing that the
broom would not bulge it.
Since then the trick has spread. The
recent visit of Hermann has caused q
revival of interest in parlor magic and
at nearly every party someone shows
the whisk broom and nickle trick, and
it causes no end of wonder and amuse-
ment. Any kind of small coin and any
kink of whisk broom are all that are
needed to show the trick.

WHEN MEN WEEP

Neither Pain Nor Grief Which, as a Rule,
Moves Than TO Tears
It is one of the first laws Of the phil
o5ophy of emotion that men shall not
cry. They must find some other outlet
for their pent up feelings. Swearing is
the most natural expedient, but as this
is considerably worse than crying the
safest plan perhaps is to make fire.
quent use Of the expressions "Dear
mel" and Goodness gracious" which
are perfectly harmless.
There are, as everyone must know,
times when even the strongest men are
overcome by their feelings, and ter
ribly heart-rending sight it is to see
big frame convulsed with sobs and a
proud, manly face stained with tears
AS rule, however, it is neither pain
nor grief which will make man cry.
Soldiers, who will bear excruciating in
juries without q moan, have been
known to break down when the lights
are lowered and some very thrilling
ecene is portrayed on the Adelphi
boards.
Orators and singers are both subject
in an extraordinary degree to the sway
of emotion. Tears are no uncommon
sight in q pulpit. In fact, there re few
preachers whose voices are not at times
so full that they are choked with feel
ing and their eyes bedimmed with
tears. Then if you glance around the
hushed assembly, who are hanging on
the preachers words, you will see
many man whose cheeks are moist
from sympathy.
The great Spprgeon would often
break down under stress OF feeling,
and Canon Liddon's utterance many
time failed him from the overwhelming
pathos which his emotional voice be-
trayed.
Sims Reeves Tom Bowling alwa ys
affected the famous singer, and Mario
was known TO break down when the
we'll of his gentle hearts emotion was
filled until the tears could no longer
be held back.
When Charles Dickens put an end
to the career of little Paul Dombey,
the great writer went out into the
night and found comfort in tears.
Many men are overcome when reading
books. Even frivolous novels may con-
tain a chapter which will make the
throat husky and blur the pages till
! they become invisible.
Mr. John Bright was known on sew
eral occasions to give way to his feel
ings in delivering public speech,
while Lord Russell is often beaten by
the pathos Of his own impassioned

IN COOLEST AFRICA

Most People Think It's Always Torrid There
Natives Have Been Frozen Stiff
"Iu spite of all that has been written
lately about the Transvaal Republic,
most people have an utterly mistaken
idea about it," said Albert Gerard
Thiers. the tenor, who is we'll acquainted
with it, the other day. "Most people,
I find, think that any spot in Africa is
torrid and terrifically hot at all times,
whereas, in reality. many of the nights
and particularly in June, are very cold,
and it takes all ths rugs and blankets
that one possesses to keep him warm.
"Ihough the midday sun is almost as
warm as any simmer day." the tenor
went on, lone needs to be we'll provided
with covering if he proposes to pass
the night on the Veldt. To give you
some idea of the cold of the plains at
night I may tell you that few winters
ago several natives on their way to the
fields we're frozsn stiff on the road
from Pretoria to Potchefstrom.
"Several OF our party one day started
from Bloemfontein for Pretoria, where
the shooting wss particularly
good, and as walking was cheap, we de-
cided to 60 on foot, taking with us q
couple of boys to carry our traps,
which consisted OF change Of linen,
or rather fannels, pair of blankets
each, the cooking uteneils and a spare
gun. We had for our companion a
young man whom we had met few
days previous to our departure-a
young Scotchman but lately arrived in
the country.
"Starting about 2 o'clock in the after
noon we walked briskly, with occa-
sional halts for coffee, until about 10
o'clock at night. when the moon shone
out in full, and we decided to turn in
for the night. The wind was already
blowing pretty fresh and we looked
about for place in the veldt where the
ant hills we're the thickest so that we
could set fire to two of them to heat
our kettles and keep US warm during
the bvouac. After having a cup of
coffee and sitting around the fire until
thoroughly warmed our party slipped
off their boots and putting them under
our heads for pillows, pulled our
blankets over our heads and feet and
were soon fast asleep, imagining, of
course, the Scotchman would do the
same.
"About o'clock, when the night was
coldest, We were all awakened by a
dreadful groaning and, pulling our
heads from out our coverings. were as
tonished to see Mac huddled up On the
ground with nothing over him but a
rubber overcoat, shivering, chattering
and moaning piteously. The fire was
out. An icy wind was sweeping around
the veldt. Good gracious, Mac, what's
the matter? Where are your blankets?"
we cried. Il did-didn't bring any,
chartered the unfortunate youth.
Didn't bring any? then what on earth
was that big bundle the Katfir was
carrying? That is my b-best Clothes
moaned the sufferer
"We we're soon up and bundled the
poor fellow into our own blankets, and
waking the boys, we made up u roaring
fire and thawed him back to life. The
next day, on arriving at Winberg, you
