THE AMERICAN is VULGAR.
He Has the Traits of a Courtly Gentle
man, but is Too Self-Assertive.

I'VE must all agree that the Ameri.
can has beyond other men an innate
respect for women and for helpless
things" writes IAN American Mother
in the Ladies Home Journal. HE has
usually, too. wide acquaintance with
the world which binders him from
intolerance and vanity. He has also
a tact too fine to blurt out unpleasant
facts to his companions, as does the
Englishman, who. quite unprovoked,
hurls disagreeable truths at you with
a ferocity and gusto that is indecent.
A week with your dearest English
friends is enough to make you in love
with lying. The dearer you are to
them the more likely are they to talk
necessarily of the mole on your nose,
or your vulgar kinsfolk. The Ameri-
can has vivacity almost French; he
gives himself easily to the occasion,
he is ready to weep and laugh with
you. and is sincerely Interested in your
new bicycle or baby. At the same
time he has something of the phlegm
of the Asiastic. and seldom frets or
grumbles. He shifts the odors of foul
drains, quaffs typhoid germs in his
water, sits in overheated steam cars
and stands in overcovered street cars
year after year with imperturbable
good humor
why, with all these qualities-why
is he not more agreeable fellow?
Why. with all the traits that go to
make up courtly gentleman-why is
he vulgar? Simply because he is not
certain of his own position. He as
serts himself every moment lest you
mistake him for an inferior. This
uneasy self-assertion is the explana-
ton of all our bad manners. I'm as
good as you' is the secret thought
with which too many of us meet every
fellow-creature."

Two Popular American Artists.

The popularity of the two American
members of the Royal Academy, Sar-
gent and Abbey, has again been shown
in a vote taken by the London Daily
News as to the best pictures in this
years show at Burlington house.
There was first vote for the best pic
ture of all and then votes for the best
pictures of various classes, such as sub
ject picture, portrait landscapes, sea
picture, water colors, "the picture you
would best like TO live with" 1.-THE pic
ture with the most heart in ii" the
prettiest face" "the best-looking man"
"the incest baby" and ''the prettiest
dress" The number of votes cast was
1904, and the picture which was chos-
en- as being the best of all was Frank
Dicksee's The Two Crowns. This re-
ceived 2SS votes. Next came Sargent's
Three Sisters, with 1S1 votes, and then
Abbey's The Trial of Queen RATHER
inc, with 141 votes. Curiously enough
Dicksee's picture failed to get first
place in it's class of subject pictures,
the choice in that going to Abbey's
canvas, which received 3SS votes to
tire 260 given to Dicksee's, which came
second in that class, but many thought
that the latter had deal of heart" IN
it and others that they would like best
to live with it, so that it won out. In
the portrait class Sargent had every
thing. His Lord Russell got 165 votes,
his Three Sisters second with LAP
votes, and his Earl of Dalhousie third,
with 121 votes The fourth was
Ouless' The Prince of Wales, which re-
ceiyed II votes. To be sure, little
value is to be attached to such "ple-
biscite" as this, because little weight
is to be given to the choice of the Brit
ish matron, who undoubtedly sent the
most votes, but the result is none the
less interesting.

Marshall that one night when Daniel
Webster, then beginning his career in
the United States Senate, visited the
Federal Street Theater the applause
which the audience showered upon him
was not greater than the cheers with
which it welcomed the divine Emily.
In New York she caused such sensa-
ton that one morning ten gentlemen
at one time were seen III her escort,
and sixty left their cards for her.
When she went to such summer re-
sorts as Saratoga the crowds at the
hotel would form a lane through which
she might pass as they waited to view
her going to and from her coach, and it
is a Philadelphia tradition that when
she visited that city one of the schools
was closed earlier than the usual hour
to give the young girls chance to see
the famous belle. Indeed, women
looked upon her with an admiration
which they seldom accord to beauties"

TO FREE CARTER
HABEAs CORPUS PROCEEDINGS
ARE OPENED.
STATEMENT 81 PRISONER
so.caIled American Dreyfus Says He
Is Subject of Military lnquisition
and That His vindication is Sure to
Come-case Taken Under Advise
ment by Judge.

Leavenworth. Kan, Nov. 24.-Ha-
beas corpus proceedings brought by
the attorneys of Oberlin M. Garter,
late captain of engineers, U. S. A., to
show cause why Warden McClaughery
of the federal prison should release
prisoner, were opened in the United
States district court here yesterday.
Judge Amos Taylor of st. Louis sat
with Judge Hook of this city in the
case. Frank p Blair of Chicago and
Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio ap-
peared for Carter, while Col. j. w.
Clous, deputy judge advocate general
of the army, District Attorney /. z.
Lambert and his assistant, Fl. e.
Hone, represented the government.
d. S. Carter of Illinois, an uncle of the
prisoner, was in the audience. Judge
Thayer limited Carter's attorneys to
three hours, the governments to two
and one-half. Judge Thayer announced
that the case would be taken under
advisement. A decision is looked for
in about a month. While Carter was
proceeding during the noon recess,
accompanied by his attorneys and the
warden of the penitentiary, to the
hotel for lunch, he was accosted by
newspaper reporters. Since my ar
rest" he said, II have never given out
statement for publication, but have
one today" With these words he
handed a reporter lengthy document.
The statement is in part:
81 am entirely innocent and l snail
not rest until my innocence is proved
and my military inquisition proclaimed.
1t was proven not one dollar ever came
into my hands improperly, and not one
dollar of public funds was ever misap-
propriated or misplaced by me, that
the government was never defrauded
through me in any manner whatever"
Carter then quotes General Craighill
and other engineers to prove his duties
were performed faithfully and intelli-
gently" and adds that the only ground
assigned by the attorney general for
his condemnation was admittedly that
of pure suspicion, not only unsupport-
ed by any evidence whatever, but in
conflict Herewith. In institutinG
habeas corpus, therefore," he goes on,
81 have an infinitely higher motive
than to secure mere liberty. What is
mere liberty or even life to a man of
my aims, associations and ambitions,
to man whose life has been devoted
to the faithful service of his country
and whose good name is beyond prize?
have sought liberty because l am in
nocent and that may have an oppor-
tunity before health and strength are
gone, TO compel legal vindication Of
my character. My innocence, estab-
lished even during my military inquisi-
ton, could have been proved again
publicly and with absolute certainty
long ere this had not the means of do
ing so been suppressed; but sooner or
later my vindication is bound to come.
In case the application for writ is de-
MED, Carter's attorney will appeal to
the United States supreme court.
