James McHugh, Disreputable Woman
ConsOrt, Sentenced.
James McHugh, who was arrested on
Saturday evening for being May Ryan's
consort, was unlucky in his plea yester-
day, when he was tried before Justice
Devine in the police court. He begged
the court to allow him to leave town,
but instead he was given the limit
three months in the county jail All
the men on the police force testified
that McHugh was noted secretary.
He was imported from California sew
eral years ago by baseball club, and
has never been known to work since.
He has been driven out of Butte and
several other cities in Montana.
Give me a hoater judge, and |
promise that I'll leave town and will
never return" pleaded McHugh, after
he had been found guilty.
County Attorney Duffy objected to
giving the man a fioater saying that
it was no use to throw him off on other
communities.
Justice Devine, in sentencing Nc
Hugh, said:
"McHugh, you should have led
better life than you have done. ] have
been told that you possess good edu-
cation. but you have not used 1t to good
advantage. You ask for floater, but
if it was given you, you would again
lead the same life, for the f1oaters you
have got from other cities did you no
good This time you will serve three
months in the county jail, and this SEN
tence may teach you to do better when
you get out"
May Ryan. who was charged with
keeping a house of prostitution, was
fined $50, which she paid.

Mark Twain's published writings than
from any other source. Ideas and ex-
pressionS of his already in print are
given a new setting by the ingenuity
of the interviewer; and with those who
do not know better, which, of course,
is the majority of the readers under
whose eyes it comes, the thing passes
very well for a genuine interview
They affect in England a great hor-
ror of what they represent as ''Ameri-
cam disregard of the sanctities of pri-
vate life; but | observe that English
authors as a class talk of themselves
and their affairs for publication quite
as freely as American authors do.
There are a few in both countries of
whose personal life we hear next to
nothing.
George Meredith is perhaps the most
striking instance; the public knows not
much more of the details of his life
than it knows of Shakespeare's. There
are some instances where the very
pertinacity with which an author has
put off reporters has given him a Ger
tain publicity. Lord Tennyson's dread
sof being written about amounted to
almost disease; and yet long before
he died he was perfectly well known
to all the world in all the details and
peculiarities of his daily life. What
kind of a house he lived in; how he
wrote his poems, which ones of them
he himself preferred, how he read them
to his visitors; what wine he liked, and
how much of it he drank; how he
dressed and even how he ran into the
shrubbery to avoid the reporters-was
related again and again; SO that when,
after his death, the authorized biogra-
ply, in two goodly volumes, came out,
you found little in it regarding the
actual man that you did not know be-
fore.
So we'll defined are the differences
between authors in this particular that
there might almost be a classification
made. First, we have those who in
their dread of the reporter almost kick
him out of doors. These, happily for
themselves and everybody, are very
few Second, we have those who, in
the like dread, pretty generally man
age, without making any great to 90,
to keep out of his way. These are more
numerous; and, owing to their tact
and the sincerity of their reserve
usually hold the good will even Of the
reporter. Third, we have those Who
when he presents himself, are thrown
into spasmS neither of dislike nor de-
light; quietly hear what he wants and
so far as they think they may, yield
to his requests. These, 1 think. are
the largest number; and fortunately so,
for theirs is the attitude most consist
ent with general good sense. Fourth
and finally, we have those who not
only receive the reporter with decent
cordially, but fairly run after him, de-
pending on his lifts not little in max
ing their way, though not few of
them, in his absence, affect for him a.
contempt equal to any shown by those
of the first class. These are fewer. [
should say, than those of the third
class; but not nearly so few as those
of the first or the second.

providing wedding journeys, fortune

hibited herself to Mr.. Cleveland Moffett,
who has lately made what his friends
all account very happy marriage. An
engagement to DO a piece of work for
Harper'S pleasantly compelled him to
carry his bride at once to Chicago. The
special task, for a man of Mr. Moffett's
skill in such matters was easy, irDos-
ing nothing that was disagreeable or
irksome; and the reward presumably
Was generous. Then, returning to New
York, and pausing only long enough to
make ready, he set out agaln-with his
bride; of course-for Europe, in fulfill
ment of another magazine engagement.
His stay over there promises to be Of
the Dleasantest. His commissions will
carry him to London, Paris, Berlin and
perhaps other capitals; he will not be
particularly hurried in the execution of
them; and the reward, presumably, will
again be to his satisfaction.
Mr.. Moffett, by the way, is an ex-
ample of the good that sometimes at

years ago he was holding what they

New York newspapers. 1t was not

fixed salaries, and depend solely on his

the resolution, though there must have
been times, in the earlier days of his
endeavor, when the pen alone seemed

reed. In the course of two or three years

Especial Correspondence.,


New York, March 24.-For anyone in
a position to remark them well, it is
interesting to study the differences be-
tween well-known authors in their
treatment of reporters and interview
ers. Mr. Howells has always stood pc
culiarly well with them, because he has
always dealt with them in the perfect
ly simple and direct fashion in which
he seems to deal with all men and all
things. He almost never denies him
self to them, and answers freely most
of the questions they ask; and yet he
seems to have as little trouble as any
man, and much less than many men,
with their excuses of zeal. He has the
wisdom not to force them too much on
their invention, and l think he rarely
has cause to complain OF misrepresen-
tation. The harder it is to really come
at a man, the greater temptation it is
to seem to have come at him
Mark Twain is one who is none too
cordial to the interviewers. He may
have a double reason for this; besides
the ordinary dislike of a modest and
sensitive man to talking about himself
through the newspapers, there is the
objection that, if he makes any Jokes
or tells any stories (and Mark Twain
can scarcely talk without doing so), he
may render good literary material un-

work over his ideas a good many times
without particularly impairing their
commercial value; and SO, if he
chances to confide a few fine thoughts
to an interviewer, he imposes on him

obviously different with jokes and
anecdotes. 1 don't say that Mark Twain
really considers this, though he very
