LIST OF AcouAINrANcEs.
y&y Few Men Who Know by Nam,
1000 People.

A small party seated in the Man.
haitian club the other night was dis.
cussing the question Of acquaintance
One well-known lawyer said he knew
as many people as any man in the room
he did not care who he was. I asked
II he could say how many acquaint-
ances he had-not friends, merely. but
persons known casually and slightly,
says the New York Press. After think
ing it over he said. "Ten thousand. 2
Il bet $50 to S." said another OF the
party. "tnat You cannot name ] 900 per-
sons Of your acquaintance and give you
all night TO do it." The bet was made
and the lawyer began, a friend keeping
the tally.
When, after two hours Of hard think
ing. he had reached between 500 and
900, he was going very slow and strain
ing terribly At midnight he was 50
far from the 1000 mark that the party
broke up in disgust.
! doubt If there is man in this coun.
try who could write down the names
of 1000 acquaintance at a moments
notice. / don't believe there are five
men in the United States who are ac-
quainted personally with 10000 people.
Dan Lamont, secretary Of war. Is said
10 know more faces than any other
man. He made study OF faces when
Mr.. Cleveland's private secretary and
became indispensable to the president.
1T might be said that there are many
politicians who know more than 10000
people personally, but You can't rely
upon a political acquaintance. The
politician has way OF pretending to
know every living man who has vote.
DIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew probably has
as wide an acquaintance as any man
we know. Many men remember faces
without being able to recall names.
That is not an acquaintance. 1t will
not do to say we have seen such and
such man before somewhere but can
mot recollect his name.

however, was by no means England >

the Clarendons were not OF II. The
queen and the prince eonsort empha-
sized their opposition 10 it. Reformers
like Golden and Bright did their best
20 divorce the masses from ii. But In
Eular prejudice was so strong and melo-
drama proved so popular. that Palmer
ston retained his prestige almost with
out interruption until the end. Yet he
succeeded in arousing an antagonism 10
British policy and in forming an ideal
Of British aggression abroad that still
obtains upon the continent and in
America
The fact that there is no other ma
ton with whose interests our own are
so bound up is often quite lost sight OF
In view OF popular prejudice against d
policy that men like TO think still
formed upon the Palmerston model.
The indisputable fact OF the superiority
of English rule to that exercised by
France or Germany over subject ma
lions Is but grudgingly admitted, be-
cause since Palmerston's day men have
been able to see nothing in every new
British acquisition but the brutal bully
ing Of weaker power.
No higher handed piece Of national
aggression has probably been perpe-
trated within this century than the
recent invasion OF Madagascar by the
French. But the world at large has
proved quite acquiescent.
Had England undertaken such an ex-
petition, however. the press OF two con
tinents would have exhausted the vo-
cabulary Of contumely. Yet no one al
ell conversant with colonial history can
doubt that Madagascar would be far
better place to live and work in under
English than under French dominion
and that II would prove OF vastly great
er value to the civilized world. Eng
lands position to-day is startlingly iso-
lated; and a prime factor in her isola-
ton has been that she has cherished
