Sir Henry Calcraft, who died the 9TH
er day, was for many years one Of the
best known and most popular men in
the social life Of London. In sketch
of his career The st. James Gazette
says: "There was famous hangman of
the name Of Calcraft, and Sir Henry
used to be jocularly known as the Hang
man-a title he would laughingly ac-
cept. The position he held in public and
social life may not inaptly be indicated!
by recalling the circumstances that his
name was freely canvassed as that of
MIR. Delane's successor i'll the editorship
of The Times. He knew nothing of jour
nalism in its practical aspects, but he
had an unrivaled knowledge Of the
men and affairs of his time, and it was
this fact and the reputation he had ac
quired as man Of signal penetration
and soundness of Judgment that led to
the association Of his name with the
editorship- Sir Henry had never dullcd
the brightness Of his outlook on life by
accepting the responsibilities of matri-
mony. He was a confirmed bachelor,
who retained to middle age the gayety
of youth.

HE RANG Up ANOTHER.
A Sober Mans Funny Experience With q
Fare Register.

Sometimes things happen to men who
are perfectly sober. This one happened

The car was crowded, and when

sat last about amidships was Enable to
attract the attention of the conductor to
have him signals so she might get or.
Mr.. SanbJrn is always gracious, al
ways suave, always courteous. He saw
beauty in distress, and he believed in
helping his neigh5ar. So he reached up
to the cord and rang the bell. OF course
it was the wrong cord, and the arrow
on the face Of the cash register moved
Up from G5 to GO.
Il is rot recorded that conductor
ever failed 20 notice it when this sort Of
blunder occurred. Aud so the conductor,
far away as he was, ont of sight of the
passengers signal, began to edge his
way forward through the crowd, ven8e-
ance threatened by his manner.
OF course the passengers Uttered, and
Mr.. SGnborn should have turned red.
But he didn't
He awaited the approach of the col
lision with the same suavity. The lady
in whose behalf the harm was done had
left him to his fate and was edging to
the front door as the car came to a halt.
"Who rang up that fare?" demanded
the man with proper grievance.
81 did, manfully replied the culprit.
He afterward avowed that he was ready
to plead guilty in any other language,
if, as he expected, the conductor might
not be fluent with English.
The representative of corporations
lost no time. He expressed various
opinions, all tending to a harmony Of
result. of the man who would do such a
/ consummately idiOtic trick as to ring
up fare instead Of pulling the signal
( bell. OF course from his point of view
it was q stupid trick. The conductor

with tho authorities of the line.
/ But Mr.. Sanborn wasn't a conductor
and didn't want to be. He accepted the
situation, and when the conductor
reached the end, he was ready.
You'll have to pay that fare," con-
cluded the conductor.
/ VERY well, / can do it, said Mr..
| Sanborn, handing a silver dime to his
/ assailant.
The latter iished around in his pocket
for the nickel that was due in return.
Then came Mr.. SanbOrn's revenge.

And ring it again he did, to the de
light of the sympathetic passengers
who had before enjoyed the situation
and now found their pleasure multi
piled. But the dumfounded conductor
squeezed his way back to his domain O
