BANKER CLEWS.
I have heard it reliably stated that
I the generous and renowned banker,
Henry Clews. spends more in the char
ity of aiding old Ouce-well-tO-dO COM
rades than in assisting the poor who
never knew an hour of luxury. So the
creed Of the average New Yorker is that
as advanced by rare Ben Johnson" In
/ his comedy of Every Man in His HUI
mour." Get money; still get money,
I boy. no matter by what means"
A TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.
The much-bruited Raines Ant-LiQuor
/ bin is now a statute. and two clubs are
/ in mourning over one of it's provisions,
which is that no place in which drinks
are sold shall be within a certain dis
lance of a church. Now. the Cenetury
Club is within the prescribed distance
of The fashionable Jewish synagogue,
and the LOtOs Club of a fashionable
Baptist church The latter. however.
has for president an eminent lawyer,
who viii contend for the English law
ruling that q club is residential and as
7 homelike as a private house, needing
no license nor amenable TO regulation
about drink fancy that such conten-
I tiOn viii be approved by the courts.
Leading Republicans are afraid that
I this new Excise law will greatly harm
7 the party and that because Governor
T Morton signed it this action Will harm
his Presidential chances. But these
4 are lessening daily. I. for one. as an
old politician. never believed he had
any. The logical candidate of his party
I is Mckinley.
DEPEW A GARFIELD.
Moreover. Chquncey Depew is to be
the Garfield of the party. Garfield went
I 20 the convention OF 1880 as the friend
and nOmiuat0r of of sherman. and the
I candidacy fen 10 him. AT st. Louis in
I 1896. as then the candidates viii make
I a deadlock between themselves. and
/ Chauncey who is to- make the nOminat-
/ ing speech for Morton. viii find the
mantle of Garfield on himself by reason
f of his magnetism and oratOrical pres
+ ence.
WHITNEY NOT A CANDIDATE.
Turning to- the other side of the
. house. / fancy that I speak by the card
+ in this hour while President making is
. uppermost throughout the Union as a
/ topic. when I aver that William c..
/ Whirney's name VIII not be submitted
TO- the Chicago convention, and that if
+ New York state has any Democratic
/ candidate &c win be Ex-Governor Flow
or. Whiney's intimates know that he
. would rather be Minister 20 England
than President or Warwick rather
I than @ king.
/ AN ODD REAL ESTATE QUARREL
The question. how much of atmos-
phere does the owner of a lot control
is a question oddly before our courts
/ Astor and a financial corporation own
7 Broadway lots side by side. it has
built a sby-scraper, and one of its cor
nices Overhang the Aston lot nearly two
feet To is encrOachment say the AS
tor lawyers and Won must remove It,

line can be made tO rise perpendicular

the corner or a0ate it They quote ap-
0r0vingIv the dictUm of Punch's comic
Blackstone. "a lot owner owns as high
as heaven upward and as deep as sheOl
downward" Another war of wealth,
YOU perceive.

THE RECENT CAMILLE.
