= CALLING FOR TIE DOCTOR.
How n Retired Snowman Stopped Little
Medical Advertising Game.

"Your story about calling for doctor
in the circus" said retired Snowman,
reminds me of the way we broke up a
nuisance in a good sized Pennsylvania
town. l was on the road with farce
comedy company, and we put In two weeks
at the town in question, there being big
military encampment there and county
fair to boot. We drew good houses all
through the engagement and were booked
for an early return.
81 don't think we had been there more
than one night before the doctor nuisance
began. There would come hurried mes
senger from the box office to the stage
manager with request that he ask if DR..
Bolus, or whatever his name happened to
be, was in the house, and If he was to
send him to the box office at once OF
course, the stage manager couldn't very
well refuse, and general attention was di-
rected to the medical man, much to his
satisfaction. We soon found out that the
doctors who were so much in demand were
very small medical fry, and there wasn't a
doubt that they had themselves called for
in order to secure the consequent notoriety.
Well, we stood it for a few nights, and then
an idea occurred to me. I took walk up
the main street until l came to a certain
sign hanging over stairway. went up
to the office indicated and had brief
conversation with it's inmate ending it by
handing him reserved seat tickets.
"That evening, Immediately after the
first act and before any messenger from
the box Office had chance to arrive, step
ped out in front of the curtain and held up
my hand. Then in my gr8vest tones
asked
Is DR. Chizziold in the house,
Immediately very tall colored man,
with bushy white head and huge silver
mounted speetacles, arose in the audience
and said:
" 'Heah is, sah.
''The audience Uttered, but kept my
gravity.
You are wanted at the box Office at
once, doctor, in a case which requires your
Immediate professional attention. As the
aged darky ducked to me and hobbled from
the room the audience broke into wild
roar. Perhaps you will understand the
cause Of their merriment when 1 add that
the old man was q corn doctor and proba-
bly, the best known eccentric character In
town. Well, there were no more doctors
called for from that stage during our en-
gagement. cleveland Plain Dealer.

The British Musician and Money.

To the British musician music Is merely
q means Of making money. Even in his
youth he is rarely enthusiastic. He begins
early to look for a line that will pay, and
in his middle and old age he Is merely @
hardened place grabber. If he gets into
one of the musical rings, he never dreams
of taking advantage of his position to press
forward this or that kind of music, or even
his peculiar theoretical views, but uses 1T
simply to add places as fast as he can to
those he has already secured. 1t Is reckon
ed matter of course in this country that
D man should be professor at two or three
music schools, organist at church, lee
turer for society, conductor OF choral
society, conductor Of provincial festival,
and should turn out a large number of
popular part songs and anthems. One or
ganist complained to me of the labor of
running five churches, the plan being to
put in deputies and take profit on their
work, and when asked why he did it he
stared as grocer would stare if you asked
why he sold groceries
Musicians of this class are happily in
the habit Of dying Of overwork, and the
musical and other papers print pathetic
obituary notices In which the fact IL never
mentioned that the deceased would have
led happier and more useful life, and
probably would have lived longer, had he
not been such place grabber. These mu-
sicians are the curse Of music in England.
They grab everything and draw big pay
for doing badly what the few genuine mu'
sicians who do appear at long intervals
would gladly receive small pay for doing
we'll, and by their talk and their example
they inculcate the basest and most sordid
views of life and Of art in those who come
under influence So long as wealth ane
reputation reward place grabbing ON tht
one hand and poverty and ohscnTity o.
contempt reward genuine effort on th,
other, SO long win we produce THOUSAND
place grabbers big and little, for one gen
| uine musician, and SO long will we hav'
| to go abroad for our genuine music. Sat

KE7CHAN'S HYPOCRISY
He Unblushingly Asks to Have
the Newark Appointment
Bills Repealed.
rccscz to the Ierseu ctu Ncaps.

TRENTON, Feb. II, 1S9S.-Mr. George
Wishywashy Ketcham, by a mere acci-
dent Senator from Essex county is
about as good a specimen of Republican
hypocrisy which has been in public view
in many years. When in the House some
years ago he was considered one of the
hest men in that Assembly. Not on ac-
count of his oratorical, parliamentary or
any other particularly brilliant traits,
but because of his modeSty and evident
The was given to see the right. But
when the great tidal wave of three years
ago caught him up and in spite of him
self landed him in the Senate Chamber,
all his changed. He became an ordi-
nary politician, ready to do the will of
his party, however right or wrong it
might be. 1t will be remembered how
at the special session of the Legislature
fast summer HE, at the order of Carl
LEM and other Essex leaders, led his
party in that movement in which it
-.ramp1ed deep in the mire its most
sacred pledges in order that the Newark
machine might have a few more years
Of power. In spite of its solemn resolu-
mt the special session the Republicans
passed the bills giving Mayor Lebkuecher
The power to fill vacancies in certain Of
sNewark's boards. The people Of Newark
t1lad begun to tire of the Reform Re-
publican administra ton in Essex's me-
Hropolis, and the Republicans knew it.
They also knew that they deserved 1t,

ards-of-us-all-principle, they were afraid
when vacancies occurred in certain
boards and which they would nave to
.fl1 in order to retain control of those
bodies. So they rushed down to Tren-
ton and insisted that the bills giving
power to fll vacancies
cradle opposition among some of the Re-
publicans who did not make pledges to
have them brushed away like specks of
dirt, burt Ketcham n the other ring
politicians insisted upon their bills going
through. and through they went.
Yesterday, with unblushing effronteyy,
Mr.. Ketcham got up in the Senate and
calmly called up the bill which he intro
duced some days ago providing fir a re-
peal of his partisan bills of last summer.
Mr.. Kuh opposed the repeal on the
ground that it was not in the line of
good government and economy, of which
the Republican party just now was the
great and shining light.
Mr.. Ketcham, in the psalm singing
tones in which he dresses his Republican
hypocrisy, said that the bill was passed
last summer to meet an mergen and
as that had now passed there
was no necessity for the bill remaining
longer in force.
Mr.. DAILY then went for the Essex Sena-
and ridicuie in lively fashion. He showed
what the emergency" which called for
the bill really was, and limited that the
appeal was due to the fact that there
might be a Democratic mayor in Newark
before long.
Mr.. Ketcham unwisely attempted to de-
fend his repeals and denied Mr.. Days
bill. he said, was wanted by the people of
Newark.

KRUGER DENIES
No Se,ret Understanding Between Germany
ana the TransvaaI

PRETORIA, May 31--President Kru-
ger is still suffering from influenza. All
today he has been receiving the Jof1an-
nesburg reformers. who were released
from prison yesterday and who called
to express their gratitude for their liber-
atiou.
In an interview today, President Kru-
ger the article in the current Nineteenth
Century by Seymour Fort who was
privaae secretary TO Sir Henry Broug-
ham och, while the latter was governor
of Cape Colony, is full of untruths. Pres
ident Kruger absolutely denied the eX-
istence of a secret or any understand
ing between the Transvaal and Ger
many which threatened imperial and
Afrikander interests in South Africa as
alleged by Mr.. Fort. Ii Mr.. Rhodes
motive, says Kruger was as Fort had
represented. he ought to be more pun
ished than the misguided men who have
heen imprisoned.
DR.. w. J. Leyds, secretary of state of
the Transvaal. is equally emphatic in
his denial of the assertion made in the
magazine article of a secret political en-
tente between the Transvaal and Ger
many.
Mr. Fort asserted in his article that
Cecil Rhodes authorized the Jameson
raid and planned to take Pretoria for
the purpose Of securing documentary
evidence of the alleged entente between
the Transvaal and Germany.
