AFTER THE DOODLE.
An Honest Woman Who Refused to
Receive a Purse Full of
Money,

Money,
A modern Diogenes could find few
honest people left on this earth if he
would but focus his lantern on the "Lost
and Found" columns of the daily papers.
For instance, on Friday last Mrs. Sachs,
the mother of Samuel Sachs, the we'll
known merchant, found a well-hlled purse
or one of the broad thoroughfares of this
City. Mrs. Sachs is wealthy and honest
and would cheerfully have put herself out
to find the owner of the wallet. She
turned it over to her son, however, and
New Years has been anything but holi-
day ever since.
NJ r. Sachs thought the best way to find
the owner of the purse was to advertise
that it had been found and he did so.
Two lines only told the tale, as follows:
FoUND-Purse, containing money. awaiting the
owner upon Identification, at 2l4 Pine ST., rm. 2.
Up to yesterday afternoon, when MIR.
Sachs hurried himself out of his office, no
less thantthirtcen people had come around
to claim the purse. They were all ladies;
not a single individual Of male persuasion
showing up as loser.
II felt sorry for the poor things, "' Mr..
Sachs said when asked about the claim
ants yesterday by a CALL reporter "Some
of them looked as if they needed the
money badly. Others, [ really believe,
| came along without having lost single
thing, but simply on the proposition that
they might correctly guess the amount of
money in the purse and get it. But, was
pleased in one instance.
"a lady stepped into my Office and said
she was one of the unfortunates who had
lost her purse during the holiday shop
ping. She described the purse 1 held al
most to nicely, excepting that she did
not know of one foreign coin it. In all
other respects, however, she was right to a
dime.
Madam, said, L believe you are the
rightful owner, and l handed over the
/ purse.
at was astonishing to see that woman's
| face.
q That isn't minel" she exclaimed.
! Mine was all worn on this end
From this time on, added Mr.. Sachs,
"I'll have to believe there are some honest
| people abroad. There was enough money
in that purse to prove temptation to
many people, and this woman, who did
not appear to me to be very greatly
blessed with this worlds goods, and who
could have taken the purse, refused it be-
cause she recognized it was not hers
But Mr.. Sachs does not speak so highly
of some of the women who called at his
| office.

ex-Director Stone when he resigned to
accept the position of Deputy Superin-
tendent.
After DR.. Drucker was defeated Superir-
tendent Babcock, who had nominated him,
stated to the members of the board that he
was not going to nominate another man
unless he was tolerably sure that he would
be confirmed by the board.
Consequently when special meeting
was called for yesterday morning to settle
the matter a caucus was first held to see
what chance there was of agreeing on a
candidate. Mr.. Kno1s name was pro-
posed and all voted for him except Di-
rector Barrett, who felt aggrieved that DR..
Drucker, the first candidate for the Office
was not confirmed. DIR. Drucker was
named at Director Barrett's suggestion, and
Mr.. Babcock declined to name another
candidate when the majority in the board

Run Down and Killed I!

Hundreds of people lose their
lives every year through being run
down by horse-cars, cable-cars or
electric-trolleys.
Thousands of people are daily
risking their lives in another way.
They are run down and killed by
reason of ill health. They allow
their systems to get weak, and
some slight illness develops into a
fatal disease.
1t is wiser to take no risks but to
build up health, strength and vital
ity by the use of a heaIthful stimu-
liant. There is nothing better than

His un- feigned enthusiasm for his subject, the clearness and ease of his verbal eluclda- tions, and the ingenuity and felicity of his illustrations, by means not only of his ready erayon, but of mechanical ap- paratus devised by himself, made the lectures as entertaining as they were in- atructive and valuable. There could be no more enjoyable treat. in its own kind, as all who have experienced 1t will agree, then his illustrated lecture on ''Cross Fertilization

 tainments was given last Saturday night.
 Early in the evening an informal pro- gressive whist party was enjoyed, where
 wit and fun competed with whist sobri- ety." The prizes were won by Mrs s. F. Hurd Hewitt of Florida and Mr McWu-
 liam of Brooklyn. W. Barstowe Smith gave the first scene from La Tosca." His impersonations were finely drawn and pleasantly realistic. In response to
 hearty applause he recited the sleep
 walking scene from Lady Macbeth In this not only WAS his finished eIoeution apparent but in his interpretation of Lady Macbeth's struggle between her woman's nature and her ambition to be attained only through most horrible cru city. His shading was remarkable. His audience could not forget either the woman or her terrible ambition, which eventually cruci6ed her womanhood and destroyed her reason. MT McWHlianl followed with selections on the banjo. His method of playing is the English and his perfection of tone most unusual The. delicacy and distinctnesa of his pIsYiugz were especially enjoyed. He was most ably accompanied by Miss Dorothy Peck of Brooklyn. The evening closed with dancing. Two of the most graceful waivers were Miss Estena Davis ofEast Orange and Miss Jennie Glidden of Mill waukee. As 8 newcomer I have been solving the problem of Elmshade's per petual attraction.

WILLIAM HAMILTON GIBSON.
FROM HARPER's WEEKLY, BY PERMISSION
 OF HARPER tG BROTHERS.

The death of William Hamilton Gibson has come as 8 shock to his many friends in New York. Some of them had met him in his accustomed haunts in the city within few weeks, apparently in the enjoyment of his usual abounding health and spirits. Others who had seen him at his home in Washington, Connecticut, where he died, were less surprised, for they were aware that his condition had become such as to excite apprehension.
 William Hamilton Gibson was born In Sandy Hook, Connecticut, October ,, 1850, and received his first school at the famous "Gunnery' at Washington Con- necticut, the head master of which made an impression upon his pupils comparable with that which was made upon so many English boys, who afterwards became distinguished, by Arnold'o of Rugby MT

Gibson long afterwards cOmmemorated his own obligations to his teacher in 8 paper of "reminiscences of his school days. The bent of young Gibson's mind seems to have been shown in the choice, for his further education, of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, upon leaving which he had already determined to de- vote himself to art. It was in 1870 that he began to make speciality of botani- cal drawing, done with scientific exact itude, for number of periodicals.
 It was not, however, until some years later, when he made his debute in Harp CTS magazine with paper on "Birds and Plumage," illustrated by himself, that it came to be generally recognized that along with the rigorous scientific ex- actitude there was distinct and indi. Yidual artistic quality. The frontispieee, 8 full-page and fullsize drawing of pea cocks feather, "The Peerless Plume" :" was tour de force of elaborate skill both in the drawing and in the engraving, although the nature of the subject made it impossible to exhibit in it the artistic mote of the designer. This was pen sive grace that he contlived to impart not less to the drawing of bunch of wayside weeds than to an expanded land scape. This paper and the others which followed it put their author quite in the front rank of ''black and white'' men. They were subsequently, collected in a handsome volume, entitled Highways and Byways, published in 1883. The volume vindicated the authors right to recognition as an artist with the pen as well as with the pencil, and entitled him to a place among those enthusiastic naturalists who have the skill in words to impart their enthusiasm, from White of SeIborne to Thoreau and Richard Jefferies.
 The same qualities that were shown in this volume were exhibited in it's authors other works, illustrated by himself {: Camp Life in the Woods, Trapping and Trap making, Pastoral Days, Happy Hunting. Grounds, and Sharp Eyes. In this last very notably, as well as in the still later volume, Oar Edible Toadstools and Mushrooms, liberal publishing has l added very greatly to the inherent at traetiveness of text and illustrations
