NEW YohE, Aug. ss.-Tho failure Of
John Bloodgood Sc Co. was announced on
the Stock Exchange. This follows close
on the report that the heirs Of william
Lottimer arc about to investigate the ac-
iounts of the late John Bloodgood, who
was o son-in-law and an executor Of the
estate OF tho deceased millionaire. The
reason for this oyerhauling Of accounts
arises from persistent reports that the
estate has undergone remarkable shrink
ago. The story of the depletion OF tho
estate, which amounted to nearly $4,000
600, was lately told in these dispatches.

ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE.
Washington Is a Good Place to
Study Human Nature.
Good Stories of Polite Gentlemen. Nervous
Cranks and Insufferable Doors
Why It Pays to Be Civil
Always.
Especial Washington letter.

It costs nothing to be polite. John
Boyd, the agent of the Pacific railroad
magnate, Huntington, became a sue
cessful man of business by being po-
lite. He was an assistant doorkeeper
in the national house of representa-
tives when MIR. Huntington came there
to ask for a certain member of cen
gress. The other doorkeepers paid TO
attention to him, but John Boyd went
out of his way to accommodate the
stranger. Very soon after that he was
employed by Mr.. Huntington and has
prospered. He owns his own home, and
his fortune is made. 1t began by good
breeding and courteous treatment of
others.
There are many employees of the cap
itoi building and many more in Inc
executive departments at Washington
who might well emulate the example
of John Boyd. Some of them think
that they own the government. They
look away down at common folks.
Some of them are simply overwhelm-
ing. They have the shadow of Ches-
tertieldian courtesy, it is true, but the
substance is woefully lacking. A rep
resentative of this species is fairly
Good-looking man, and rather young.
His barber gives him regular and care
full attention He presents a large eS-
posure of shirt-front, spotlessly white
aud creaselessly stiff, a high collar and
| a pecktie of the latest shape and figure.
| No writer of books on etiquette could
| find a flaw in his manner or words.
They are as exact as the multiplication
| table. But the oppressiveness of Dig
| nifty which he let's fall on those who
| address him is appalling. The farmer
| or artisan who may have talked with
| g senator, and found him pretty much
as other men are, will not have appre-
ciated how great some representatives
| of the people can become until he
| meets one of these rare clerks.
The young man particularly referred
to here is clerk in the state depart
ment. He has more diplomacy in his
| head and less in his manners than any
| other man in the city. A very ordi-
| nary man in size and appearance en-
| tered the room which this clerk oc-
| cupies and asked where the office of
the chief of the consular bureau could
be found. The dude never raised his
eyes from the newspaper before him.
The question was angrily repeated, and
the department dude languidly ,e-
sponded, without lifting an eyelid !:
ASK messenger" The visitor
stepped into the room, knocked the
paper out of the hands of the clerk,
slapped his arm and said: "You i'm
pertinent rascal, get up and lead Inc
to the chief of the consular bureau or
I'll have you out of this Office in five
minutes"
His dudeship fastened to obey, for
he realized that he was dealing with

get over their aversion to Juvenile din.
One of these GROWERS recently wrote
to Major of Police Moore, signing a
name that does not appear in the city
directory and failing to give any sd-
dress, as follows:
Cannot the children Of the public
schools be made to move on and into
the schoolhouses or to their homes :?
Why should our homes he made per-

It would be hard to fancy a homo

enough such people in the world to stop

good WILL AS matter Of fact, when
the angels came here singing that

a strain that they flew back through
the pearly portals and have never been
heard of since.
Senator Turpie, of Indiana, has al
ways been a nervous man, and during
his incumbency of a seat in the senate
he has been almost driven crazy by the
page boys and others who make all
sorts of noises. He does not like to have
senators about him snap their fingers
to attract the attention of the pages.
He does not like to have himself jostled
by senators and others passing back OF
his chair. He is pitifully nervous. But
he is a very good man, and always
speaks in kindly manner to the, boys
and men employed about the senate.
Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, was SO ex-
cessively nervous that he could not en-
dure the scratching of n pen or the
noise of a typewriter in his committee
room. Consequently all of the writing
had to be done when he was absent.
This made it rather hard on his private
secretary, who had to do his work at
odd times and under all sorts of circum-
stances. He was not only nervous, but
impatient and autocratic; and some
people said that he was altogether too
aristocratic. He had a brass railing put
around his desk to keep the general
public from coming into contact with
him. He would receive them all and
talk with callers, but they could not
get to him and make themselves ia
miliar with him. His successor, Sen
ator Mcmillan, of Michigan, had that
brass railing taken away, and allowed
H. Il
committee room to come right up to the
chairman and talk business. Senator
Mcmillan is not nervous.
81 don't mean TO be profane," says
Senator Money, of Mississippi. II am
simply nervous and am obliged to ex-
press myself in a nervous manner"
Strange as my ultra religious friends
will regard it, that statement is abso-
lutely true. The senator does not mean
to be profane, and he is one of the most
refined gentlemen in the world. But
he is nervous and somewhat excitable
and on such occasions he is little pro-
fame in his ejaculatory remarks. It was
simply because of a nervous irritability
that he got into an alteration last year
at the capitol with another congress-
man. when they threw ink bottles and
other missiles at each other. 1t would
seem to be well for extremely nervous
people to carry guardians with them, to
manage their tempers for them.
Librarian Spofford, the man whose
genius has developed the vast con-
gressional library, and because of
whose persistence and insistence the
magnificent congressional library build
ing was provided for by congress, is one
of the most polite and magnetic men in
public life. Men and women are drswn
to him by his manners; because no mat
ter how busy he may be he is at all
times accessible, polite, agreeable, and
even genial. Such men are bound to
prosper in this world, and when they
depart this life leave behind them,
footprints of love in the sands Of time.
