There are few personalities among the men of letters more interesting than that of Rudyard Kipling, and this fact was never more exemplified than during his late Illness when the corridor of the Hotel Grenoble, In New York, was crowded daily by those who were anxious to receive the latest news from the sick chamber Few of those who scanned the bulletins So anx- iously had ever seen MT. Kipling, but all had the greatest love and respect for the man who lay battling with death in the room above. They had read his stories, they had laughed and wept with him and they felt as if he belonged to them-as if he was dear friend in whom they had a right to feel the closest interest.
 In spite of the popular interest that he had always aroused there is probably no literary man today of whom so little is known as of Rudyard Kipling. With those to whom he has given his friendship he has always been as genial, as kindly and as warm-hearted as any one could ask. To them he has been the most delightful of companions, and if he has been exceedingly short, not to say rude or boorish, with strangers who have attempted to force their acquaintance upon him, this has been due to what might be termed his British insular prejudice against any inquiry into his private life or habits.
 In fact, so careful has he been not to allow any hint of his private life to become public property that the world would have no information respecting the author as a man if his friends had not been kind enough to have imparted some of the secrets that they have gained during their intercourse with him.
 As it is, however, we are told that the opening of his remarkable story of "The sketch of his life as a newspaper man in India, and this information is particular ly interesting in view of the fact that his early ballads and the stories that first won for him his fame were written under just such circumstances. It was in this little newspaper office that his first book was published-"a lean oblong docket, wire stitched, to initiate D. O. government en- velope, printed on one side only bound in brown paper and secured with red tape" It was all that Kipling could afford, but 1t was success in more ways than one. Dol lars flowed into the authors pocket and the world awoke to the knowledge that new and entirely unique poet had been born.
 In the same way facts about Kipling's school days may be gathered from his "Stalky & Co., his thoroughly natural mar rative of life in a boys school. Stalky, Beetle and McTurk are not inventions of Kiplings brain. They actually lived and the exploits that are described with such realistic humor actually occurred when the

author was student at the Union Service

author was student at the Union Service college
 In 1879, when Kipling entered this institu- tion he was a chunky, open-faced boy of IA years. He wore heavy, gold-bowed spectacles, which won for him the title of "Giggsy," and his small black eyes and those Spectacles were what first struck ones attention. His jaw was strong, his forehead high and broad and his teeth large and very white He walked with rolling gait and always carried his hand scrammed deep into his pockets. He was very care less in his dress, would not brush or comb his thick hair carefully and his shoe lacings were nearly always united He loved to ramble in the woods, and fishing was his favorite sport. As the result his woolen clothing was usually filled with burrs and nettles, while fish scales stuck to his trous CTS like postage stamps.
 As student Kipling was not a success. He ranked low In scientific studies and he had no liking for mathematics, but what he lacked in the more practical branches of learning he made up by his high rank in the study of history and literature To the boys at college his stories and poems were marvellous compositions and they soon gained for him the position as editor of the college publication, an honor that he prized more highly than he would the highest re- ward of the class room.
 For this paper Kipling wrote ballads about college and songs of the dOrmitorie5, and while they are crude as compared to the work of his later years they had the genuine Kipling ring. The only prize that Kipling ever won at school was the gold medal for an essay on England and Her African Colonies"
 To his friends Kipling tells many stories about his experiences and he enjoys them hugely even when the laugh his been aon himself. For instance, he often speaks of the American editor who once rejected his "Courting of Dinah Shadd," on the sround that 1t was not up to the literary standard of his paper, and he has had many laugh over the fact that one of his stories laid.for many years in a pigeon-hole at the office of St. Nicholas. Years ago Mary Mapes Dodge accepted the story, but 1t was meyer published Recently the author recalled the fact to her mind and, although she could not remember the incident, the office was ransacked and the manuscript was found.
 Like Robert Louis Stevenson, Kipling was not cut out for a newspaper man. When he first went to San Francisco he obtained a position as reporter on morn ing paper His first assignment was to write up a mercantile failure. which he did in his own peculiar style. He made no men, tion of either assets or liabilities, but sim ply contented himself with giving striking pen portrat of the bankrupt, whom he pictured as an oleaginous rascal ripe for a cell
 When the copy was turned over to the city editor it almost threw him into a fit. "Here. you man with spectacles," he shouted, whoever told you that you were . newspaper Can myst have been joking.

M'COY RECEIVED
 THE DECISION
Choynski Was Lucky to Stay
 the Twenty Rounds.
IT WAS A PRETTY CONTEST
The Kid" Had Numerous Opportuni- ties to Administer Knock Out, But He Failed to Follow
 Up His Advantage.

San Francisco, March A.-With a superi- ority in cleverness, quickness and ring gen eralship which was apparent from the first round, Kid" Mccoy was very properly awarded the decision over Joe Choynsk at the end of the twentieth round before the National Athletic club in Mechanics Pavil- ion tonight.
 It was very pretty fight, but it was al- most entirely in favor of the younger man. Mccoy won easily. He had the fight in his hands and at any one of half dozen op- portunties he could have administered a decisive knock out blow. But again and again he failed to follow up his advantage, and Choynski was considered lucky to be able to stay the twenty rounds. In the fifth round Joe was apparently going under the furious rain of McCoy's blows, but was saved by the gong, and after the brief re- spite rallied and fought his uphill task. But ho did not seem to like the game. Me- Coys stomach blows particularly were lit tic to his liking, and he winced pitifully under the frequent punishment which he received. On the other hand Joe could not reach the Kid effectively, who was entirely too clever for him in getting away. When Joe did land fl was frequently upon Me Coy's small hard head, and the blows did more damage to Joe's hands than to the objective point.

THE EXCEPTIONAL CASE;
Wetmore Refuses to Join any Trust or
 Combine.

St. Louis, March 24.-President M c. Wetmore of the Liggett & Meyer Tobacco company, who is stockholder in the Phia- delphia cocoanut manufactory, known as the Wetmore & Pride Manufacturing con- pany, of which his brother, J. J. Wetmore, is president, today received a telegram from J. J. Wetmore, dated New York, which said;
 "Cocoanut manufacturers held a meeting to syndicate the business. Underwriters ready to write $7OOO,OOO in cocoanut busi- pess Shall we go in?'
 MT. Wetmore replied:
 "Wetmore name shall not be associated with any trust combine. If any other cocoanut manufacturers form trust, we will remain independent and fight them to a finish"
 Mir. Wetmore said tonight to the Asso- ciated Press that about seven of the prom inent cocoanut manufacturers of the coun- try were interested in this proposed com bine.

chance to meet they pass without speak ing
 Oliver Hazard is an ardent admirer of Bryan and in the present controversy sides with the Nebraskan against his brother. He has resigned from the democratic club and Is one of the prime movers of the dollar-dinner, at which MT Bryan will be present and to which every democrat who can afford to spend a dollar is invited. The dinner gotten up by Croker and Perry Belmont to which MT. Bryan will not go, is to be select and is to cost ten dollars a plate.
 The rivalry between these two brothers recalls the ball given ten years ago in New York on the occasion of the celebra- tion of the centenary of the adoption of the constitution of the United States. The Ward McAilister set wanted only the swell New Workers invited, while Hamilton Fish, Jr., wanted the doors thrown open to the public. Mrs. Astor was to head the cotlllon, but when she heard what was expected and whom she was to lead she withdrew with all her followers in the so- eial whrl.
 It was a ough-and-tumble democratic affair and was slightngly referred to for months afterwards by the swell set as ''the fish ball." 'the fish dinner" and those who attended were called the "cod fish aristocraey."

TALES OF KTPLTNG.....

| Go and try shoemaking." Kipling left the office and never applied for another position on daily paper.
 It is not generally known that Kipling has declined a title at the hands of the queen. About three years ago he was off, fered knighthood and he refused on the ground that he did not see of what benefit such a position would be to him. Another fact that is not known by everyone Is that the author is a great admlrer of that thor oughly American institution--a cocktail.
 The last time he was in New York he was the guest of the Lockwood De Forests, and early on the morning after his arrival he announced that he was going round to the Brevoort house to get shaved. Just before luncheon he made similar an- nouncement, and at about o'clock he once more expressed desire to visit the barbor. MT. De Forest, who does not drink liquor, was much surprised. 'fWhy, Rudyard" he exclaimed, "this will be the third time to- day you have gone to get shaved. Ana then he wondered why Kipling laughed.
 Among all the stories that have been told of Kipling few if any have furnished any information in regard to his religious be- lief; and although this is a subject in which many of his admirers would be interested 1t is one upon which his friends have been silent There is very little in the body or his writings on which to found for him religious faith. Such matters as- Gods
 
 injuries. the duty of showing mercy, pray CT repentance, all of which play an impor- tant part in the verses of so many poets seem to be quite foreign to Kipling's atti- tude towards spirituality. His vein Of re- ligious feeling is modern and in full ac- cord with the so-called ethical feeling or the day It implies the possibility of sal vation by work and a healthful scorn of cant and unreality, and 1t takes for grant ed.
 '''That such as have no pleasure
 For to praise the Lord by measure,
 They may enter into galleons and serve
 Him on the sea-"
 Kipling's religion however, Is evidently of "the heart and of the viscera," his faith is in humanity. in courage and great un' dertakings. As has been said by one critic, 'It is religion for Tommy Atkins and the crew of the Victoria to live and die by, although "his men from very robustness shirk the sacraments and creeds and churches" His God is like himself, strong and self assertive rather than tender and his religion manly ruggedness rather than finely poised spirituality.

New York, March A.-(Special.) 1.-The firm of Klaw & Erlanger has not closed the deal to take charge of O'Brien's opera house in Birmingham for the coming sea- son.
 They have been negotiating to acquire the management of the theater, but an impeachment has been thrown in the way in the shape of deal to sell the property. In that event it is not likely that Klaw & Erlanger will assume the management.
