A Story About General Sherman

General, I never understood how it
was you came to gain the reputation of
the Great American Beau; won't you
enlighten us?'
The ques don tickled him. The scanned
face DISSOLVED into wrinkles, and after
laughing in his silent way for a minute
or two he said:
We'll, now, you will be surprised
when I tell you that the whole thing
was the work of General Grant, but it s
fact. Just after the war closed Grant
asked me to take a ride with him in
Washington behind horse he had just
bought and of which he was very fond.
AS we spun down the avenue I said:
See here, Grant, now that the piping
times of peace have come, we must
choose a. fad
What are you driving at, Sher-

az mean to say that if we don't fix
upon something the public will do it for
US, and it may not be pleasant
well, it is pretty generally known
that I am fond of horses; I suppose
that will answer for me. What have
you in mind?'
Il told him had fixed upon nothing
as yet, but would try to do so. Mean
while asked for his help. He said he
would be glad to serve me.
Now, what do you suppose Grant
did?" asked Sherman, with pretended
Indignation. why, he made straight
for the newspaper correspondents and
told them that had formed the resolu-
ton to devote the rest Of my life to
earning the name of gallant for all
the young ladies in the country. AT
the same time he intimated to the
newspaper men that he would take It
as a personal favor II they would do
what they could to spread the news; 1t
would doubtless be Of assistance to me,
and he was sure would appreciate the
Kindness.
well those correspondents didn't
need any urging. The whole thing was
heralded from one end of the country to
the other, my first knowledge coming
from the papers themselves. I saw

learned the trade of bricklaying. He

Symmetry.

Lord Sellxirk had formal garden-an
Italian garden, as it is called-and his
gardener was very proud of it. One
day, Lord Selkirk found a boy shut up
in the summerhouse at the end Of the
terrace at ST. Mary's Isle, and was in
formed by his gardener that it was for
stealing apples. On reaching the 9TH

another summer-house, Selkirk beheld
the gardeners son looking dolefully

This is system of human servitude just
as complete as chattel slavery and in many
respects more atrocious; yet the so-called
Democratic party, while claiming to be
the friend of the 1aborer, expressly de-
tends this system, and bids for the support
of those who profit by it. But these are
not the only matters to which the party
has been recreant.-James G. Mcguire.

The war against Spain was an
nounced as a war in the interests of
humanity. So it was, and in that spirit
it was prosecuted. But will it be hu-
name to turn back to the tender mercies
of revengeful Spain the peoples Of the
Philippine Islands with whom the for
tunes of war have thrown US into con-
tact? AS for the others in that archi-
pelago, Spain has never been able to
place a heavy hand upon them, and
they may be safely left, for the pres
ent, to take care of their own indie
pendence. Will it be working in the
interests of humanity to expel the
Spanish from Porto Rico and Cuba ana
return to their old-time domination the
people of Manila and throughout
Luzon? Considered from the stand
point Of humanity alone we fail to see
how we can now withdraw from the
Philippines.

They proposed the other day to begin
preparations in Chicago for a peace ju-
bilee celebration for the West, expect
ing New York to do likewise for the
East. To the intense disgust of the
promoters Of the idea, however, the
leaders Of the Democracy in the Windy
City developed strong opposition to the
plan, solely because it would tend to
strengthen sentiment favorable to the
Administration, and, consequently. it
was argued, to the detriment Of the
Democratic schemes. Especially did
this opposition rise and roar when it
was announced that President McKin-
ley was to be invited to attend at the
celebration. That would never do. To
consent to give aid to such an end was
political heresy. The President is pop
ular enough with the people now. and
to add to it would In Chicago Demo-
cratic estimation, be suicidal. And yet

The statement Of Candidate Mcguire
and the Democratic platform that the
war tax falls mainly on the poor is alb
solutely false and is intended to deceive
the people who do not take the time
TO investigate for themselves. The fact
is that the tax falls very largely upon
the corporations, bankers, brokers and
dealers in money and property, as it
should. 1t is in strong contrast with
the revenue measures of the past, which
placed most of the burden upon food,
implements Of husbandry and trade.
wearing apparel etc. The laboring
classes have reason to congratulate
themselves on the work of the present
Administration in every move in con-
nection with the war and they will no
doubt express their satisfaction at the
polls by rolling up immense majorities
for the Republican ticket everywhere.

ceived after the regular edition went
TO press.
Afterwards came the important ad-
mission of the Spanish admiral that
his defeat was a complete one, and at
1890 The Tribune had an edition on the
street conveying the latest details up
to that hour.
The avidity with which the editions
were brought up showed the eager in
terest of the public in the outcome of
the battle and the appreciation felt
for the effort to keep the people of
this city in touch with the very latest
news about this world-stirring engage
ment.
The New York papers sold in this
city last night and labeled 9 p. m. edi-
ton did not contain as late or as COM
piete reports of the engagement as The
Tribune's special 1890 a. m. edition.
Around The Trbune's big bulletin
board all day great throngs gathered
to read the latest developments. The
enthusiasm displayed as each succeed
ed telegram showed that the American
victory had been under estimated
rather than over estimated, was in
spring.
At The Tribune's bulletins in the
suburbs the scene at the Washington
avenue board was duplicated. If any
thing the suburban crowds were more
demonstrative and more inclined to
give vent TO their feelings.

At the conclusion of tire meeting Rev.
Mr.. Pearce, the acting pastor, invited
his brethren to luncheon at Hotel Ter

thankfully accented. The pastors re-
la&ed in a fraternal interchange of in
teresting and amusing anecdotes and

cordially thanked for his thoughtful in

several weeks earlier than it would
have under ordinary circumstances.
Scranton is not the only city of which
this is true. All over the country the
aters are closing and companies being
disbanded for the season because of
the manner in which the war is re-
ducing box office receipts.
1t is probable that Scranton will
have only one more theatrical perform
ance this season, That will be new
comedy by Hovt which will be seen at
the Lyceum for one night.
The season in this city has been very
successful considering the general con-
dtion of the times. Harvey Long has
demonstrated that he is thoughtful
as well as an aggressive manager and
what is probably better than either,
he knows what theatre-goers want and
endeavors to give it to them, but al
ways with saving eye to the proprie-
ties. AS a whole the attractions at the
Academy and Lyceum during the sea-
son have been of a meritOrious charac-
ter and better as to their moral tone
than those seen at the average theater
of the country of a similar class.

in FAVOR OF DIR. SAPP
Opinion of Judge Gunster in the In-
junction Proceedings.

Judge Gunster in lengthy opinion
yesterday granted DIR. 5. c. Sapp an
injunction restraining the defendant
party from using the words, New
York Dental Parlors" upon or in their
notices, signs or advertisements, or
in any way indicating that their place
of business is that of the plaintiff or
under his management or control; and
that the defendants should pay the
costs.
DR.. Sapp is a graduate in dental
surgery in the University of Maryland
of the class of 1887. and has practiced
his profession in this city since 1899,
entering the employ of DR.. G.. f..
Hill e. Son. In March, 1897, he opened
dental establishment at 1874 Wyom-
ing avenue, and commenced doing busi-
ness for himself. He called and ad-
vertised his place Of business "The New
York Dental Parlors," and acquired
considerable practice.
About four months after Or. Sapp
began business, a similar establishment
was opened by some New York parties
across the street from him, and they
took the same name. DR.. Sapp be-
gan injunction proceedings against
them. claiming that their notices, signs
and advertisements were calculated to
deceive and mislead the patrons of
his business Judge Gunster says in
his opinion:
Under all the circumstances of this
case ! cannot resist the conclusion that
the defendants use CT said name in
describing their places of business was
with the intent to deceive the public
and injure the plaintiffs business" DR..
Sapp was represented by Attorney John
NJ. Harris.
