War Talk and Real Estate Deals.

II suppose everyman in business could
tell you something of the effect of the
war talk on his particular branch. A
few weeks, before the situation. so
far as it related to New York's de-
lenses, was understood, we had some
funny incidents in our business.
For the first week." continued the
real estate man. I'VE had calls from a
number of people in Brooklyn and in
the suburbs below for houses on the
upper end of Manhattan, and in some
instances for property in Hoboken and
towns near by. Some of our callers
wanted to sell their property, and you
would be surprised to know the prices
which were stated in few Of the Of
fers. 1t was a case of fright There
were men who believed that their
houses would be the first to be riddled
by shot. They believed that it was
possible for Spanish warship to sneak
up off the coast of Rockaway and drop
shells into their back yards.

houses to rent would ask if we had any

Arizona's Cowboy Regiment.

Phoenix. Ariz. March 29.-In expecta-
ton of war with Spain, Arizona has sew
eral regiments of soldiers drilled and
equipped and lacking only camp supplies
A cowboy regiment that is being formed
is the pride of the Territory. 1t is COM
posed of picked men who have already
had long service in camp and in the sad
die, who are crack shots with rifle and
revolver, who can ride any horse that
comes along, and who are also versed in
Spanish.
This company is being formed and
drilled by Col. A. L. Brodie. formerly an
officer OF the First United States Cav
airy, now mining engineer in Prescott.
He has the regiment almost complete,
and il is already well drilled. He will go
soon 10 Washington 10 get the necessary
authority for mastering in the companies
now being formed. In case of war Col.
Brodie thinks the regiment should be al
lowed 10 take mounts from Arizona in
stead of being mounted in the East. as
he thinks the horse OF the Southwestern
plains is more hardy and would have
much more endurance in a campaign
than the Eastern bred animal The cow
boys are very much In earnest in their
military preparations and already form
a well-drilled and fine-Iooking body of
men. Their horsemanship certainly could
not be exceiled anywhere.
Besides the cowboy regiment there are
drilled and equipped ten full companies
OF the National Guard. consisting of the
First Regiment of Infantry, and having
a strength, including band and hospital
corps, OF over 500 men. Several addition
al companies are offered from different
towns but cannot be mustered in. as the

Arizona is on a war footing. and is
merely resting on her arms. waiting for
the first intimation from Washington
that troops are needed. when the cowboy

when Angry Passions Rise.

Whether ii be peace or war. this cOun-
try is stronger today than ever before
in it's history. War is too serious a mat
ter for tests and should never be en-
ployed until all other means of settle
ment for an international problem have
been tried and failed. People become I'M
reasonably angry and begin 10 call names
whereby the desperate extremity of in
famous accusations are quickly reached.
Thus we find accusations against the
President of the United States as lend

Courtesy and Discipline i'm Virginia.
rron, the Youth's COupanionl


In an old biography OF Chief Justice
Marshall there is an aneedote which
gives a significant hint OF the discipline
to which young people were subject in
that earlier day.
Several Of the great jurist's nieces were
in the habit OF visiting him. and as they
were Young and attractive. the house
became a rendezvous for the leading
Young men of the city during the after
moons Judge MaTshaliS black major
dono. old Uncle Joseph, held tight rein
upon these visitors. Every day at
o'clock he would appear at the door OF
the drawing-room in spotless livery and
with q profound bow would announce:
Ladies his honor, the chief justice.
has retired TO his room TO prepare for
dinner.
..Genremen. dinner will be served at
4:3C o'clock Ii is now 1. His honor will
be pleased if you will remain. and COW
ers have been laid for you at the table.
II YOU cannot remain, will you permit
the young ladies 10 retire TO prepare for
the meal?"
The gentlemen usually took their leave,
and the ladies retired in an ill-humor;
but any remonstrance with Joseph was
only answered by: 1T is the rule OF the
house Young folks must be kept with
in bounds
In Virginia houses of the better class,
notwithstanding their almost boundless
hospitality the calls of young men in
that day were strictly held within limit.
No one was received as a visitor TO
girl unless his antecedents and charac-
ter were well known to her parents.
If his visit was prolonged until after 1e
o'clock the invitation TO family prayers
was given. If he seemed likely to be-
come an habitue of the house, and so
engage the thoughts, and perhaps in time
the affection, of the young girl who was
its chief treasure, her father quietly
asked the purport of his visits, and, If
he had none other than his amusement,
courteously requested him to discontin-
ue his calls.

property out of range Of the guns of a
warship.
These instances of fright were not
noticeably numerous but they were
funny to me. Tehy did not last long.
however, There were two reasons for
the short duration. The first was that
the people referred to found out that
no foreign warships could sneak up
within gunshot of Rockaway or any
place around New York. The second
reason, and the principal one, was that
the people got fighting hot. and one of
the men who wanted to sell his place
a week before bought small cannon,
planted it in his yard. and every night
before he went to bed he went out and
looked at it, and then out to sea. and
was heard to murmur: Il wish one Of
the damned Spanish warships would
just show up before j go to sleep.

THE CROWD LOOKED ON.
DulI-Nftted Jeresy Cityites Permit q
Woman TO BE Fatally Burned.


Jersey City, n. j., April s.-Mrs. The
resa Connors. aged forty-five, was fatally
burned at her home in Morris Street yes
terday, in sight of crowd of a hundred
persons, none of whom made any effort
to save her.
Mrs. Connors started to clean house
yesterday. She gathered a quantity of
waste paper, which she carried to the
street. She touched match to the pile
then, leaning on her broom, watched 1T
burn. A gust of wind stirred the burn
ing mass and blew one of the lighted pa
pers under Mrs. Connors' dress.
In an instant the garment, a wrapper
of light material, was ablaze. Mrs. Con-
nors tried TO extinguish the blaze, then
shrieked for help. From the neighboring
houses poured crowds of persons, none of
whom made a move to aid her.
Finally Joseph McCarty and Frederick
Kretzner rushed forward and wrapped
their overcoats around the suffering wo-
man and extinguished the flames, but
not until the woman had been fatally
burned. -
