OWEN LANCDON'S GOTHAM CHAT


big, handsome fellow, a graduate of the Naval academy, q splendid swim mer and sailor.
 When he was managing editor of the Cosmopolitan Magazine he and John Brisben Walker used to dis cuss plans, pictures and articles while zigzagging back and forth across the Hudson in a 35-foot cabin sloop. At in- teryals Churchill and young David Walker would take headers overheard, come up dripping and go on as before Churchill is a member of branch of the family of the duke of Marlborough. His first name, Winston, is borne also by the eldest son of Lady Randolph Churchill, Hon. Winston Spencer Churchill.
 Mir. Churehil1s denials about .The Celebrity are weakened by its faith ful portraiture. In his salad days be- fore his recent marriage Davis was just such q needless fellow in respect to fall ing in love with nearly every pretty girl he met, as the book describes. His most appropriate heart affair was fall ing madly in love with "The Original Gibson GirF'-the young woman who posed for those margelously stiff neeked young women seven feet tall that Charles Dana Gibson draws. As Davis was himself the Original Gibson Man, his portrait being in nearly every one of Gibson's drawings, this predic- tion was but natural. But, alas The girl married some one else, and there has been a succession of Gibson girls since.

 Gan you read and write the Eng fish language?" asked the sergeant.
 The applicant replied that he could not, and the sergeant informed him that he could not get into the regular serv- ice if he couldn't, but advised him to % into the volunteers.
 Flows that?" said the Irishman. who had just entered the volunteers and had overheard the conversation. 1T man can't read English he gets into the volunteers. Sure, 1 thought American volunteers were a crowd of gintlemen. You'n change me papers, sergint, please, its not Patrick O'Don- nell that1I associate with a crowd Of ignoramuses."
 And the papers were changed, and Patrick went into the regular army, much to the satisfaction of the ser geant

 \ few days ago a young man of 8 years stepped into the recruiting office, and asked to be sent to the Philippines as a member of the new Thirtieth in fantry. He was turned over to the re eruiting sergeant to be put through the regular routine of examination, and, after the regulation bath, stepped onto the blanket in front of the surgeon.
 He seemed 8 perfect specimen Of young manhood. Muscles of iron, big, broad shoulders, a chest that sounded as hard as a stone wall, but he didn't pass the critical eye of the army sur geon. As that officer looked over him from head to foot his trained eye caught one little defect
 Turn sideways" said the surgeon, and the applicant obeyed.
 Flat feet both sides" said the sur geon. Rejected"
 The man would not believe it, and the surgeon, seeing his disappointment, at tempted to make his rejection as easy as possible
 But" said the would-be soldier, .sI have walked all my life; I have fol- lowed the.plow day after day, and have never felt the least inconvenience from what you term deformity. I can walk farther to-day than you can, OF half the men that are being enlisted. Can't you pass me, for 1 want to go bad?"
 But the rules of the army bar men with flat feet, and the young farmer went back to his blow.

 to show your knowledge of art matters is to pitch into somebody. Now I'll confess that before I went abroad and studied such matters 1 thought as you did. Didn't see how statues could be any uglier than ours. But the others are just as bad I'll go further: The Farragut statue in Madison square is the finest Iye seen anywhere else in the world. The old boy has his cap on and his fighting clothes, and the wind is blowing his coat skirts back with a flap and he looks fit for the open air.. not bit chilly, you know. But you take an Ohio statesman with chin whiskers, wind a Roman toga about his gaunt form cad set him out in the street bareheaded, and he looks pretty tough, grant; but not any tougher thar fat Briton similarly placed in Liverpool or Manchester.
 ''Now there's the Heine statue. It was made by an accomplished sculptor at the suggestion of the late empress of Austria. She dropped the scheme, and no German city would accept the thing, not because it was bad, but be- cause of Heine's race. So the friends of the dead poet and of the sculptor shipped it to New York, and all sorts of people protested against setting it up; and they're right. It's bad. A poet doesn't do his work out of doors like an admiral-it can't help being bad. And now, after years of fighting, they've put it up exactly 0H miles from city hall. Take day and half off some time and go up and see it. Upon my word, there's nothing the matter withit except that the mermaids splash ing around have two tails each"

APP'es"'s' teers IS being re- cruited, and again Chicago is supplying her share of the needed men. Supply ing them quickly and willingly. If the ranks of the Thirtieth volunteer infan- try are not filled as quickly as were the ranks of the regiments that volunteered to fight Spain little over q year ago it is because Uncle Sam is more particular about the kind of men he takes. Then numbers counted above all else. and while each man was subjected to a physical examination, it was nothing in comparison to that which the men must undergo who would enlist for service in the Philippines.
 Over on West Madison street, where the cheap lodging houses are thfel5est; where the drinking man can get more for his nickel than anywhere else in the city; where employment offices do a thriving business; where the signs of that advanced civilization of which we Americans love to boast is seareest, is where Uncle Sam is hiring bodied men to do his fighting for him.
 Cnicago's recruiting station is suite of rooms in an old building, a relic of the days following the fire. There, on the second floor, Capt. P. s. Bonus, d veteran officer of the First United States cavalry, is selecting the men to fill the ranks of the volunteer regiments that are to fight the Tagals of the Phil ippine islands before another winter rolls by.

She was the busi- ness manager of the Engineering and Mining Journal; rather an odd phase of newspaper work for a woman. And not an ornamental business manager; more than commonly tall, slightly framed, finely featured, she was d ia miiiar figure to mine owners and malI CTS of mining machinery in most parts of the country. l have been told-not by her, for she did not boast-that she had inspected as many mines and knew as much about the business details of mining as any man in the business.
 Then she grew ill. used to meet her frequently going to business on the ele- vated railroad. Her splendid brown eyes grew shrunken, her handsome features thin. Last summer she died. Whether she might have lived twice as long and healthily as a wife and mother whether the "business woman" Is necessarily a mistake-I will not un- dertale to say. After she died, the pathetic little fact come out that in memory of her own unhappy youth she had left all her money to befriend needy orphan girls in sound health. The sum is about $25 1000; not great one in these days of huge fortunes and giant chari- ties; indeed, I should think that the memory and example of it's founder might be the best part of the Sophia fund, as Mrs. Braeunlich's gift is called, to the little orphans in their pig tails and checked aprons who are bene- fted by tito all of whom wish a hap pier, quieter life

JedLs, Wneu )d- triotism called the men from factory, store, office and farm alike, regardless of physical defects, excepting of the most aggravated kind.
 The army that Uncle Sam's officers are recruiting to-day is an army that will be able to withstand the greatest amount of personal hardships possible for man to stand. The majority of the men who volunteer from patriotic mo- tiyes, and the recruiting offices are thronged with such applicants, are turned down by the surgeons, and the successful candidates are more often the men who are seeking the army as q means of livelihood. This class of men come from the walk of life that has hardened and developed them, and large proportion of them are foreign CTS who have not yet been long enough in America to feel the patriotic i'm pulses that cause the clerk, the lawyer, the school teacher to visit the recruit ing offices.
 But when these new regiments cross the seas to take up the burden of a cam paign they will not leave behind them the same number of friends that were left by the men who fought and won the battles of Manila and Santiago, who have for a year borne the brunt of the fighting in Luzon, and who garrisoned Cuba before the regulars were able to relieve the volunteers. The ma jority of them are not leaving positions of trust to wear the uniform of the private soldier, but are finding in the army better living than they can find outside of 1t. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

 A broad-shouldered Irishman, who displayed discharge papers from the English army showing that be had served her majesty faithfully and well both at home and in her colonies, ap- piled for enlistment. He did not look for Capt. Bonus, but for the recruiting sergeant, for he had had experience. The sergeant sized him up, and being a sergeant of the regular service. advised him to anter that service.

And now an inopportune quarrel with brother-in-law Harry Payne Whitney over Il yacht race in Newport has east young "Corny Van' into deeper Xanderbiltian disapproyal than ever. For Payne Whitney, who married the sister of Cornelius, is high in favor.
 In all there are five children ill the Cornelius Vanderbilt Household; be- sides the married ones there are Alfred Gwynne, who has just graduated from college; Reggy, the schoolboy, ana Gladys, young girl i'll short frocks, who will come out in a year or so.
 All the famous quarrels of the Van derbilts have taken place in Newport It was there that Cornelius Vanderbilt offered to restore his son to favor if only he need not meet that woman!" now his daughter-in-law, and the young man indignantly and creditably re- fused. 1t was there that Chauncey M. Depew wiped his heated brow and des- canted eloquently of the trials of peace makers. Mr. Depew's greatest plat- form triumphs have never called for more eloquenee than he poured forth in vain to single auditor, Cornelius Van derbilt, on the occasion of the memor- able first quarrel several years ago, now unhappily renewed
 The "Corny Vans" are not poor; they ISlid last year the highest house rent paid in New York-said to have been $18,ooo per year, or over $50 per day.

 well as by the young man whose soul is afre with patriotism.
 To each caller is accorded the same kindly reception. The army officer who has for so many years been accus- toned to the deference paid his rank seemingly forgets his rank entirely when he is visited for the first time by an applicant for the regular or Yolun- teer service. They stalk into his office and ask:
 Say, mister, is this where you join the army?'
 These men are not told to put their heels together and stand at attention. They are not even told to remove their hats whilein the presence of the recruit ing officer, at least not on the first visit. That comes later.
 But when once a man has passed the examinations, and has held up his right hand and sworn to fight for the Amer ican union the story is different. The instant the oath is taken the man be- comes an American soldier, and he must show the deference to rank that the regulations provide shall be shown. Woe be the luckless soldier boy who stalks into the office of the recruiting officer without permission and without the prescribed salute. He is given lesson in army manners that he will not soon forget, and the pride that he has felt in his new uniform is suddenly dragged in the dust But that is a part of the discipline of the army.

Dealer In Building Nate

One Of the Best Known Contractors
and Builders In this Section
Of the State.

IL has been the aim Of the INTERIOR
JOURNAL through this illustrated edi-
ton to present its many thousand
readers with a pen sketch of the com
mercial and industrial enterprises of
ofthe city and in bearing out this
determination, fitting and deserving
mention is due the gentleman we have
chosen subject of this article. Mr..
Sine is Nirginian by birth, Winches-
ter being his natal town. Early in
life, with his parents, he became cit
ltizen of Cincinnati, o., where he was
reared and educated. His acquaiu-
lance with this section began when a.
agent for the Green River Lumber
Co., of Cincinnati, he visited this
country in interest of his firms cuisines.
The opportunities then offered by Stan
ford to local lumber dealer To- the
practical eve of Mr.. Sine was in adj
vance of what he expected to find, and
the time was not long until lie install
led in business on his own account and
erected planning mill which he later
disposed of and opened up in Stanford
first class lumber yard, the stock be-
ing all that was needed in the con:
struction of modern buildings; later
he took up contracting aud building,
which proved success equally as COM
mcndable as the lumber yard, it hav-
ing grown in public favor, until now
he Is classed Us the leading contractor
and builder of Lincoln county, and to
apply the title to adjoining counties,
would, we think, not be an overrating.
lie keeps in his employ corps 81
skilled mechanics and in using the
term mechanic" we apply it in its
true sense as none but the very best
OF workmen can obtain employment
with this concern, and the many beau,
tiful business temples and handsome
residences in this and al jacent counties
the products of their skill, well sub
stautiate all we have said relative t,
their merits as superb workmen.
In contracting, Mr.. Sine has bull
for himself an enviable reputation il
living exactly to all that he agrees. |
is said of him that if any deviation from
a contract is made, it is doing more thai
the contract calls for. Other builder
have longrec gnized in his lumber yard
advantages equally as great as can b
had anywhere, either in price, or quail
ity of material.

Carried in stock is any and every.
thing that goes into the construction of
a building ofany character.
In the storage halls can be seen a
multiplicity of diversifcation in sash
doors, blinds, grill work, stair casing
and the various ornate creations that
add beauty to building.
Mr.. Sine is the principal dealer in
building material for great radius of
country, and that his efforts are
appreciated, is more plainly told in
the numerous wagons that daily come
from the contiguous country for goods.
As business man, we have none
more energetic and substantial than
Mr.. Sine. He is an active and
influential member of al. the secret
societies of Stanford, and an elder in
the Presbyterian church. He is a
Mason, Red Man, X. of =. and Odd
Fellow, and belongs to the X. of H.
and Maccabees. He was the first
chancellor of the X. OF =. Lodge here,
and hiss for Is years been secretary
of the |. q. o. +. local lodge. His
office is in Odd Fellows building on
