Occasionally l notice in your esteemed
contemporaries some so or 100 lines showing
some great detective work done in Provi-

Where Fame Is n yspor.

New York Is u queer town. There are
regions in the metropolis in which the pop
ulation cares nothing for u president, or
speaker, or any one else In the wide world

the emperor of China would cause many of
them 20 turn their heads. One Of these re-
gions lies between Fifth avenue and the
Hudson river. President Mckinley and

nzed Ivy many people. only now and then
was any attention paid them. Probably

OF an unusual number of policemen, which
caused the populacc 10 think there must he
something going ON.
President Mckinley's training as an
open air speaker stood him in good stead
nc the Grant ceremonies. Half gale was
blowing across the Hudson, making things
dance and trcmbe 1t was most dis
couraging wind 10 speak In, for it blew up
In angry gusts which now and then threat

experience, hc started out low aud easily.
As soon as be had pitched his voice he
warmed mp. Then his words rang out clear
and distinct above the whistling Of the
wind. Every syllable WAS pronounced with
an onunciation like that of an clocutionist.
Though rnU Presidents voice Is not
strong one. IL carried far on this occasion.
Three times rs many people were able 10
hear him as could distinguish what Cen
oral Porter was saying, and General Por-

The presidents endurance all that day
was considered remarkable, and the best
