A BROKERS' FANCY.
Ina Einary Friends Who Serve Him I'm
Many Ways.

There is New York broker and club man
VINO realizes in his own life all that the pen
OF Dickens furnished to the imagination of
Sairy Camp More opulent in his fancy, he
has created a circle of friends who were, as
they are to-day, the Misses Crevesant and
Charlie OK, twenty years ago no older as
near as his friends can learn, no less lovely
than when he descanted over their youth
and beauty while decanting for his friends.
There is not q broker and few who deal in
stocks in this city who do not know the
friend of the Misses. Crevesant and Charlie
Ok. To some of them this little company
has become almost as real as 1t is to this
otherwise unimaginative man of money mar
kets and good dinners. His persistence in
his relations with them is loyalty itself, and
as his care of their good fame is pathetic
in its earneStneSS, when he first began to
speak Of them it seemed that he used them
as plea to escape invitations or to excuse
his own failure to keep social engagements.
He was, he claimed engaged TO drive the
Crevesant girls in Central Park because
Charlie Ok had come TO town and they had
to show him some little attenton--they
were old friends of Charlie, and, of course,
they could not entertain a young fellow
alone; or he had been sent for at the Racket
Club just as he was dressing for dinner last
night; Charlie Ok had come in a cab, the
youngest Miss Crevesant having been taken
suddenly Ill, and he had to go to fetch her
sisters from a country house When he
came over to Philadelphia, he did fire.
Quently, he had brought them all over, the
Misses Crevesant and Charlie Ok, and they
were already engaged for lunch. When
Philadelphia friends came to visit him in
on account OF engagements with the Creve-
SAINT girls and Charlie OK, and, gradually
shifting them from merely social relation
to factors in his business life, he excused
his shrewdeSt dealings by saying that 1t was
not his own profit he insisted upon, but the
share that belonged to the Crevesant girls
and Charlie Ok, who had backed the deal.
No ends of traps were laid for him by his
associates to secure a naturalization of
these ladies of air and their no less sub
stantial companion. He never would tell
even how to spell their names. He once
said that they lived in Sixty-fourth street,
and, being pressed for the house number,
said they were soon moving to a. hotel
where he afterwards said they lived, with
music and pictures, adjoining their lives
with good deeds and charitable acts among
the poor. A few days ago an appeal for
help was made to him for the orphans of a
chief walter He drew the last check in his
book for $25 and thoughtlessly left the book
of counterfoils lying on the table. Some OF
his friends found it there and read on the
last stub, "Crevesant girls and Charlie OK
and, turning back page by page, they
learned that these graceful ladies of the
brokers' mind stood for the virtues the
greatest of which is charity. Who Charlie
Ok is or where he lives and what share he
has in the life Of the Misses Crevesant Is
not known.

The London Sketch. reviewing the production of
Hoyts "A Stranger in New York at the Duke Of

any sane London manager would present at

tertainment, which makes one ask Indignantly
why mayn't smoke and walk about. why

interval for gossip between the turns? Admit
that Mr.. Gilfoils picture of a gray-headed old
sinner is very clever clever enough to remind
one OF Richard Mansfield in "A Partisan
Romance" its very cleverness rendered the work
revolving: admit Miss Amelia Stone is a pretty
woman, fair singer and very vivacious, that Miss
Louise Cunning has a charming voice. and that
the company has been well drilled-all this is poor
compensation for ugly dresses, bad music. stale

since in all probability famine will soon
compel Captain General Blanco to surren-
der. Therefore, they say, Spain ought to
profit by the pause in hostilities to sue at
once for peace.
The Morning Post editorially congratu-
lates the United States upon the speedy sue
cess of the operations at Santiago, result
ing from the admirable manner in which the
naval and military forces supplemented one
another.
The Daily News says that in view of the
menace of yellow fever the fall of Santiago
does not come any too soon for the Ameri-
can troops. 1t adds: 1.-The severely criticised
strategy of President Mckinley and his adj
visers is justified by results. The United
States government has used it's immense
power with full sense Of responsibility and
with due regard for humanity. The Amer
lean generals may not be men of military
genius, but they deserve the utmost credit

ment when the American troops were en-
barrassed by disease, the hard conditions Of
the climate and other heavy obstacles.
The Daily Chronicle warmly praises Pres
ident Mckinley and predicts that Havana
will fall in October in the same manner.
The Standard says: IF a sentiment of
morbid delicacy prevents Senior Sagasta
from inviting peace-maker to step in, why
should not President Mckinley think it the

weakness, he must still respect. The United

population under control will not be easy"
The Daily Telegraph says: 1.-The terms
of surrender are equivalent to marching out
with the honors of war. The most sensitive
military pride may well be satisfied with
this tribute to the respect in which the
Spanish troops are held by their foe Thus
