An English Visitor Finds Glasses More
Distinct Than In England.
We have known Mrs. G. of Fifth ave
nue for some years, and during her an
nual visit to London have improved the
acquaintance of this charming little
lady. She has all the fascination of the
attractive American woman She is
surprised and apparently delighted to
see us, inquiries how long we have been
over and thinks it ''too bad" that we
have not been sooner to call. She is dis
pensing afternoon tea TO a young man
whom she introduces. His name is ia
miliar as that Of a family of million
aires, and as such is entitled TO respect.
He is quiet and reserved, bows low to
each of us in turn and talks in a SUBJ
dued voice through his even, white teeth.
Only u tone here, an infection there,
betray the fact that he is an American.
His phrases are carefully chosen and are
rather superlative-curiously in contrast
with the quietness and apathy of his
voice and manner. / take him to be q
type Of the society man.
Mrs. c. is also u type. Her vivacity
is contagious and her conversation I'M
tagging. She passes lightly from n
subject to another. Everything she says
is worth listening to. They are both as
different from ordinary middle class
Americans as are the English upper
classes distinct from the lower. 1t is a
study in human nature that people
speaking the same language, living in
the same city, influenced by the same
feelings, should be, in all things, so Mt
terly dissimilar as those who compose
society and those who do not. 1t is not
o question Of education. -E. NJ. Hart

peculiar embarrassment. A man on a
public occasion presented himself to Sir
Charles, who had been appointed to
some petty government Office after a
campaign in which there had been ques-
tionable electoral practices.

you are one of my supporters?"

A FAMOUS YACHTS FATE.
Commodore Colts Dxuntless, Anchored, q
Floating Memorial.

Commodore Colts Dxuntless, Anchored, q
Floating Memorial.
Full many a large and handsome
yacht has lost her owner because he has
tired Of her, or, again, because q reduced
income forced him to abandon the ex-
travagant luxury, but here is one that,
losing her master by his untimely death,
has been specially provided for in her
declining years. Steadfast unto the end,
she was not sold off for half price TO get
rid Of her, but, like a faithful dog or
horse that has outlived its days of USE
~fulness, has been allowed to finish out
her life in quiet repose.
1t is only a few years ago that the
schooner yacht Dauntless was one OF the
very stanchest boats af1oat. In a race
across the Atlantic with the Coronet she
did herself proud. Her commander was
a commodore. and her graceful form
was a familiar figure in the great yacht
ing world. Now, with sails forever
furled. with pennants hauled down for
the last time and housing canyased over,
she tugs az an anchor that seems des-
tined never to rise again.
The master whom she thus serves in
spirit was in life Commodore Caldwell
II. Colt, the only child of the late Colo
mel Samuel Colt, the arms manufactur-
or. He died at Punta Gorda, Fla, about
three years ago, while of on a cruise.
This circumstance, together with his
fondness for the boat, led his wealthy
mother to preserve it, though no longer
Of use, just as others lay away in a
drawer the toys Of dead children. So it
is that the yacht idles her life away, a
silent memorial. In further remem-
brance of the dead mans yachting career
the new Colt memorial house in Hart
ford. costing several hundred Thousand
dollars, bears on its facade a beautiful
reproduction of the Dauntless IN sculp-
tured stone and many other suggestions
Of the sea.
Anchored off Essex, q few miles up
from the mouth of the Connecticut river,
the good old yacht is now living out her
life of ease. 1t is said that she will
never again go into commissioners
tainly not so long as the mother lives.
The spot is quiet, secluded and all that
q retired favorite could ask for in her
old age, and the same waters that lap
her side flow, 40 miles up stream, with
in a stone throw Of the celebrated fac
tory whose machinery produced the
wealth that purchased and maintained
the boat. Brooklyn Eagle.

SILVER" REPUBLICANS.
The PopuIists Say They Are Seeking
Fusion.

The Populists will not hold their
County Convention on the 18th, as they
had previously announced.
There was meeting of their commit
tee yesterday, at which the former call
was declared off. The committee will
meet again next Saturday to decide on
a new date for the convention.
William Boyne stated yesterday that
the 'Silver" Republicans had been
making overtures to the Populists with
a view Of forming a combination.
Just who or what these so-called "Sil-
yer" Republicans are is something that
must be left 10 conjecture. There has
been no reported bolt of Republicans in
this county because Of the financial
plank in the national platform. Pos
slbly a few men whose Republicanism
has never been very deep-seated may
have some other motive in becoming
Populists, however.
There is another story out that the
Democrats are flirting with the Popu-
lists, but several prominent members OF
the former party deny any knowledge
of overtures having been made.
However. it is quite likely the local
Populists are trying to make some sort
Of combination and that they have put
off their convention for that purpose.

Why Dan Sniffles' Suicide Plan Failed
to Work.

Suicides run in families" said Colo
mel Grimm the other evening, when that
interesting subject was brought up by
a Record Union" reporter.
Seems to me as though I'd heard
that before" shifted the man with shoes
run down at the heel.
"Well, I wonder who told you that?"
unused the Colonel, and then continued.
You're liable to hear it again if some
body don't breakyour back too soon. But
I'm getting away from the subject and
wasting valuable time.
II knew a family once named Sniffles,
and they absolutely refused to die like
Christians. They didn't rest easy un-
less they were in mourning for a dear
departed who had shuffled off by the
suicide route. There is one of them,
however, who is still living and says
he'll be hanged if he don't live to die a
natural DEATH"
At this point the man with the shoes
down at the heel shifted and looked at
his Waterbury.
His name was Dan-Dan Sniffles," !"
continued the Colonel, land he was the
happiest shoemaker who ever drove a
peg or pounded leather, but he knew it
would come sooner or later-it ran in
the family, you know.
We'll, one day, while passing his shop
I noticed that Dan looked uneasy, and
as 1 stopped for chat he laid hand
upon his stomach and says he:

I've got symptoms. Colonel! I've

think about something else, but it
wouldn't work. Says he: I knew it
'ud come, Colonell / knew it, but I'm
going to make sure job of it-no half
way work with me, Colonel! No half
way work.
Sure enough, Dan felt it coming, and
made his arrangements accordingly. He
bought 45-Caliber Colt revolver, an
ounce of chloroform, and a half-inch
rope, and early the next morning went
down to the wharf. Here he tied one
end of the rope to a rail. and the other
around his neck. Then he carefully
swallowed the ounce of chloroform and
as he jumped from the wharf he put
the big pistol to his head and pulled the
trigger.
Nov, Dan Sniffies was Yankee. and
a hard-headed one at that, and when the
bullet struck his skull it found that it
had bitten off more than it could chew
so it excused itself and slipped off as
easy as boy from a haystack, and on
its way skyward cut the half-inch rope
and let Dan kerplunk into the brine.
Now, Dan expected to be dead when he
hit the water, and when he found ne
wasn't he opened his mouth to swear
and swallowed about pint of salt
water. Salt water and Dams stomach
did not agree, and as he crawled upon
the shore nature asserted herself and
the brine resought it's own element, TAX
ing with it the ounce of chloroform.

fighting against fate, and Dan Sniff1es
is still alive"
