AN EYE AND AN Il"

I spent a delightful hour the other day
with Henry l.. Dawes of Pittsfield, the
successor OF Charles Summer in the Unit
ed States senate, writes Observer in the
New York mail and Express. Mr.. Dawes
services as a federal laWmaker in the
popular branch of congress and in the
senate covered a period of "a years, and,
iscences of public men and measures. He
told me a capital story in which John
Morrissey of pugilistic, gambling, and
political fame, figured.
while | was judge here in Pittsfield,"
said Mr.. Dawes, "Morrissey and Yankee
Sullivan fought a prize fight at a neigh
boring place called Boston Corners. Sui
Ivan was arrested and fined 81 900. He
handed over the money and went his way.
A day or two later, while l was sitting on
the bench, a fine-looking maj entered the
courtroom and sent a letter up to me.
1t was from a friend of mine introducing
John Morrissey. He. too, was fined 81 900,
and said to me that he would send me his
check on his return to New York. Well,
I didn't know what might happen if he
was let go on that understanding, but l
said to Morrissey hat any arrangement
for settlement which he made with the
she riff would be satisfactory. The sheriff
feeling as I lid. insisted upon having the
fine paid in cash, and since Morrissey did
not happen to have that much cash with
him, the sheriff locked him up until the
{ amount was sent on from New York. |
fancied that Morrissey felt he owed me a
grudge because of this incident. Years
afterward. in Washington, a numbe of
new congressman We're brought up to be
introduced to me. Among them was Nor
rissey. When he came forward he smiled
and said, Mr.. Dawes, l believe we have
met before

Speaking of autographs. I once asked
the autocrat of the Breakfast Table how
he treated the autograph-hunters. "Well'
he replied, Il grant their requests-prO-
vided they inclose a stamped envelope.
But l drew the line the other day, when
I got a petition for an autograph address,
ed to Miss Olive Wendell Holiness I
thought that if the applicant didn't know
enough about me to know the sex TO
which belonged, he or she wasn't en-
titled to my autograph

her hearing one several years ago relat-
ing to a circumstance attending his adj
mission to the bar. Th lawyer who was
examining him With q view of discover
ing whether or not he possessed the renui-
size legal lore asked him this question:
is The legal tender act constitutional or
unconstitutional?' II didn't have any
telling the story, but felt it wouldn't do
to hesitate. 50 | promptly replied that
the law was constitutional. Whereupon
the examiner remarked: You are passed,
We examiners always pass applicants
for admission to the bar who can decide
great constitutional questions ofThand.' =
That was a comforting assurance
which Joseph Jefferson lately gave to his
countless admirers. He took occasion to
refer to the report crediting him with the
intention of retiring from the stage for
the purpose of denying it. He asserted
that he intended to so on playing as long
! as the public would p%atroniZe him. Good.
Why should jefferson leave the stage
| when as yet he is the unwasted contem-
| porary of his own primer l recollect
hearing one of his devotees say to him
| that he was surprised that he didn't wear
| a bigger hat. why a bigger hat?" JEFF
| ferson inquired. Well" the devotee ex-
| planned, .if as many people all over the
| country were as fond of me as they are
fond OF you I'm sure I'd have a tremen-
! dous big head" Jefferson was silent for
a moment, and then in his winning man.
| ner he said: Wouldn't that spoil 1t all"

Mr.. Dawes told me another story of
Morrissey, which is especially worth the
telling just now, when the case of Rob
erts. the .p~olygalnist, is exciting so much
attention. "When Morrissey came to
Washington to take his seat as a con-
gressman,' Mr.. Dawes went on, he
was confronted with a large number of
protests urging congress to refuse him a
seat on the ground that, having been a
pr~izetighter and gambler, he was morally
DISQUALIFIED. These protests were refer
red to the committee on privileges ana
elections, of which | was chairman. The
committee reported that Morrissey pos
sessed all the qualifications which the
constitution prescribed that "a congress-
man should have, and that il his moral
character was not of a nature to prevent
his election by his constituents congress
could not rightfully exclude him because
of any opinion it might have touching it.
Congress adopted the report"
I take it that Hall Caine is too much of
a man to mind having a good story told
at his expense. l am reminded of the
story by IN incident in Henry Irving's
career which the Philadelphia Record re-
lates. The Record states that once at a
dinner given to Sir Henry Irving by the
Philadelphia Art club. for two solid hours
he was kept busy placing his signature
upon the white clay pipes belonging tc
members of the club. While Hall Caine
was in this country, half a dozen years
ago, the Aldine club dined him. Among
those invited to meet Mr.. Game was one
of the most popular of our American au-
thors. Soon after the dinner began, din
ner cards began to circulate with re-
quests for autographs. The author il
question whispered to his neighbors:
I'm going to send my card up to Mr.
caine as soon as l can, for I am doWr
for a speech later on, and | want to be
able TO say that I've read something thai
Caine has written"

A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
New Years Reception by the Presi
dent


On New Years Day the chief execu'
tive of the nation receives In state
the Vice President, the members OF
his official household, the chief JUS.
tice and the associate justices OF the
supreme court of the United States,
the foreign legations, senators and
representatives in congress, officers OF
the army and navy, officials Of the
District OF Columbia and such OF his
fellow citizens as choose to pay their
respects to the President on that occa-
sion. To the President 1t Is no holi-
day task, as he must go through the
ordeal OF shaking hands with 5000 or
10000 people. Although the New
Years reception begins an hour be-
fore noon, custom demands the wear
ing of afternoon dress.
AS there Is in this country no Off
cially prescribed court dress, there Is
nothing in the apparel of the diplo-
matte and civil officials of the govern
ment to distinguish them from other
wellgroomed men on formal occa.
sions. The officers of the army and
navy, however, appear in full dress
uniforms and present a brilliant en-
semble. One of the chief attractions
of the day which the great throng
gathered in the capital of the neigh.
borhood of the capital has an oppor.
tunity of seeing is the display made
by these officers on their march to the
White House. The most picturesque
feature of the Presidents New Years
reception Is the appearance of the for
eign diplomatic corps in their gaudi
est and best dress of state. They as.
semble in the Red Parlor Of the White
House, with the dean of the corps at
their head. This distinction has for a
number of years fallen to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
who will doubtless continue to hold
the place as the oldest in point Of con-
tinuous service of any of the foreign
representatives
They form a brilliant procession as
they proceed to the Presidents recep-
ton room, the ambassadors being the
first in line, followed by the ministers
In order of seniority, each attended by
his suit, including secretaries, at
taches and such ladies of the legation
as desire to attend. The South Amer
ican diplomats, in accordance with
their own peculiar costume, appear in
full evening dress. 1t is the orientals
who give the picture its gayest color
ing. The Chinese minister and his
vast suit wear varicolored gowns Of
rich and costly fabrics, though the
Japanese are not so snowy in their
state attire. The Turks appear in
their red fezzes and the Koreans in
their fiowerpot hats and are even more
gorgeous than the Chinese. After the
distinguished and brilliant assembly
of offlcials-state, judicial, diplomat.
ic and legislative-has passed
through the reception room and re-
ceived the presidents New Year
greeting, an hour Is exclusively de-
voted to citizens, and the chief execu-
tive receives and shakes hands in
quite democratic fashion with as
many Of his fellow countrymen as can
reach him during the time allotted
to the reception.

It's up to tho People.

Less than year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, i.
evidenced by the speech, writings, an(
comments of eminent statesmen ano
jurists; congressman and leading men
OF business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
IN the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is a deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not of spontaneous
growth They are the result of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollars! Beginning with the dis
placement Of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
tiny of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire.
1uently called attention to each and
every move as it was transpiring, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with a truthful
array of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling,
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican,, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '6I-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have a representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
'ook beyond their plausible decep-
lons. Read the Enquirer and YOU
will be able to discern the truth and
,ombat falsehood. A victory for
trusts and the Mckinley Admins
ration in 1900 will end the era OF
greatest good to greatest number.
Watch carefully the
Cincinnati Enquirer.

New Years the Most Important An.
niversary.

niversary.
New Years is generally celebrated
as a season Of merrymaking, and the
1st of January is a holiday in many
countries. But in Scotland alone, per.
haps is the festival considered the
most important one of all the year.
There the celebration begins on the
morning of the last day of the year,
when the children of the poor swad-
die themselves in great sheets, which
are doubled in front to make huge poe
kets. So costumed the children go to
the houses of the rich and ask for
oaten bread. AS the children enter a
house they cry. 'Hogmany!" thereup-
on the housewife drops a quarter of
loaf into each child's pocket. Thus
by early afternoon the children are
loaded down with rich bread, and
sometimes cheese, and go home re.
joicing. "Hogmany" is supposed to
mean "the sacred moon or month"
In Scotland, New Years eve is cele-
brated with the utmost jollity One
of the favorite amnsements consists
In dressing in guiser, or masquerade
costumess, and going serenading. The
"guisers" are usually young men, and
they are attended by their "squires"
After guiser has serenaded a house
custom provides that he shall be paid
a half-penny, but he is often beaten
instead of receiving the bounty. In
bands of frcm three to six the guisers
often go from house to house and per.
form drama In the kitchen, while the
household looks on and applauds and
berates the players, according as the
play is well or i'll done. Then the
suisers are given cakes and strong
drink. and are bowed OF driven into
the street.
