"Manners Makytll Man."

William of Wykeham, a fourteenth CEN
tury bishop Of the sec of Winchester, was
not only great clergyman and great
statesman, but ono Of the greatest builders
of the middle ages. He was the founder
Of Winchester college, which is tho Oldest
Of oil the English public schools. Ho was
the chief architect Of the cathedral of Win
chester, and when the king wanted a new
wing on his castle at Windsor he ordered
Wykeham to build it, Wykoham was SO
proud of his work that he chseled on it,
"Hoc fecit Wykeham" (Wykcham made
this). At this the king was very angry,
for he thought he had built tho castle him
self, and Wykcham would perhaps have
lost his head If he had not kept his wits
about him. He explained that it was his
greatest glory to be tho builder Of his
kings palace, and that the inscription
should rend, "This was tho making Of
Wykeham. The translation was clever
enough, and, though the king was proba-
bly, not deceived, Wykcham kept his head
on his shoulders. Perhaps the king would
have been sorry to lose SO vulunble ln"n.
At any rate you can see tho inscription to-
day from the north terrace, and the Incl
dent throws no little light on the sincerity
of the motto on the Winchester arms,

MAYOR HARRlsoN's OPINION

II Charges Are True Street Car Employees
Are Just1fied in Striking.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20. Mayor Harrison
said, in speaking Of the threatened
strike of the employes>of the, city rail
way company: ,..4, r. 4 !.,%,
If it is true that these men were dis
charged because. they were active in
organizing union for their. protection
I believe that public: sentiment should
support the street car men in the event
of strike being declared. There is
great deal of talk of the railroads COM
bining in their own interests, and I see
no reason why che men should not have
the same right to organize"
Action may be taken at q council
meeting that may result in the various
street car companies stopping the car
rying of United States mails.

Warmer Weather Prevailing the Cause Of

for an Epidemic Growing
More Remote Daily.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 2S.-Warmer
weather in the past two or three days
has had the effect of increasing to some
extent the number of new cases of the
prevailing type of yellow fever, but it
has equally had the effect of sending
down the death rate. There were 81
new cases during the day but only 2
deaths. Present experience, therefore,
proves that warm weather adds to the
number Of cases but reduces the NOR
tally, while cold weather diminishes
the number of cases and 6nlarges the
death rate. Physicians and the author
tiles generally agree that the situation
steadily improving. They believe the
chances are growing more remote every
day of an epidemic and that there is lit.
tie likelihood that the disease will as
sumo before cold weather more viru-
lent form than at present.
At Biloxi there were II new cases
and one death, and two cases and one

BEAU BRUMMEL.
His Rise and Fall and tho Decay Of Dan

ais Rise and Fall and tho Decay OF Dan
II dyism.
How came 1t that man Of low BIRTH
of only moderate fortune and of no special
ability was able to conquer London and
to hold his conquest SO long' Brummel
was not the mere whim of few yenre
tho comet of season. He was an absolute
king from HIS first appearance In London
society in 1899 till the fatal day In 1914 on
which he ordered in the chicken from
Walters for dinner, went to the opera
and at the door got into post chaise
drove to Dover and left England for good.
We believe the explanation Is to be found
In the fact that he had early imbibed the
spirit il not the words Of the motto which
Danton borrowed from Bacon. "Bold-
ness boldness and again boldness" was
Bruinmels motto. Whether in his say
ings, his actions or his dress, Brumnol
always did the bold thing. a
y; Another maxim on which Brummel
acted was that which recognizes the fact
TINT the majority Of both men and women
like to be trampled on. Brummel early
realized the value Of this maxim, and,
like Swift and Beau Nash in their several
spheres, he scored q great social success BY
its. use. Society came In crowds to he
trampled upon and kicked. So much, in
deed, did they lise the process that when
Brummel left England they ran over to
Calais to enjoy the much loved inf]iction.
And Brummel had the good sense to give
them what they wanted. The naughty
debtor in exile was just rs rude and just
as arbitrary rs the sovereign dandy. Thus,
though we may despise Brulnmel and
congratulate ourselves on the fact that we
have done with him as MI institution, wo
cannot deny that the men knew human
nature profoundly. No doubt he put his
knowledge to selfish, ipnob1e and paltry
ends. Still, a person who has the courage
to seize tho wild ASS, society, Ivy tic mano,
jump OH it's back and ride it where and
how he will deserves his need Of wonder
and admiration. Spectator.
