A Youthful Journalist.
INeM York Letter.l

Mr.. Foster Coates, the editor of the
Observation-Disclosures. which We be-
lieve is about the oldest newspaper in
New York, is still a young man.
though he has been prominent for Sc
long as a journalist that he may be
said to be fairly entitled to a long, gray
beard. But he began early, and he got
there" quickly. This forwardness in
starting and in arriving has given a
somewhat wrong impression to those
who do not know Mr.. Coates, who
really is young enough and handsome
enough to meet the standard fair Rosa
lind, in the play, set up for the man
who could please her. 1t is likely,
however, that Mr.. Coates values his
youth only because 1t assures him good
time in which to acquire new distinc-
tions. and his looks merely that they
help him 10 opportunities for further
occupations. Among the men of his
profession he enjoys a well-merited
popularity. and among the women
we'll, the women are not saying any
thing against him. If the fairies did
no. preside when he was born then he
must have inherited good gifts from
his forebears in the ordinary way. But
he has made no ordinary use of either
gifts or opportunities TO have thus, al

and most interesting feminine charae-

strange TO say. never has been known

In this section OF the country. Years
ago she was known all over the head
Of the lake region as Fannie Croacher.

months at the old Superior house. She
was supposed TO be the old gentle

she was bewitched, but all respected
her and agreed that she was a great

she did not want for hackers. and in
six months thereafter she was worth
$4,000. She was always willing to bet
to her limit. and at one time was
known to have staked $4,000 on a pair
OF deuces, compelling her opponent to
lay down a full house. Her fortune
grew steadily year after year, and in
the spring Of 1893 she wal supposed to
be worth about SIC. 200. The common
wage lumberman had almost ceased
TO call at her home. but the profession

Minneapolis and other western cities

her snug little fortune, and they did
succeed. by forming a combination that
spring. in reducing her limit to $1,000.
A year later she came in contact with
a party of fishermen from Chicago.
They were well supplied with money
and the lady succeeded in relieving
them OF $4,000 within a weeks time.
They accused her OF cheating and
threatened to raid the place providing
she did not refund the amount of her
winnings, but a Colts dexterously

past history OF this mysterious person
is a colored woman known as Aunty
Grant, who now resides at Superior.
She claims to know that Miss Queer
was the daughter of a wealthy Phila.
delphian. who came west on a tour
OF speculation and brought his daugn-
ter with him. In Superior he became
infatuated with a married woman and
left with her for the east without say
ing goodbye TO the daughter. The
girls mother had died the year pre-
vious. so that there was no loving rel
alive left to give her comfort or t
guide her. She wrote home for mon.

check for $500. with instructions to re
main west and shift for herself. Sh'
