AN Ex-pREsIDENT IN NEW YORK.
Few Recognized Him and He At
trncted Little Attention.

IT was over in New York when Gen.
Harrison was there attending the ecumen-
ical conference" said government ofhclai.
and one Saturday afternoon we were do
ing broadway with the gay throng which
f, eauents that thorous hfare on pleasant
Saturday afternoons. My companion du
voyage was also a Washingtonan of long
standing. and at Goth street, which is the
cross street at the junction of Broadway
and 5th avenue. we noticed n little stockly
built man. white whiskered and white
haired, dressed in dark stuff, wearing a
black overcoat silk hat and a walking
stick, coming toward the Broadway throng
from 9TH avenue. We were thinking about
good-lookng girls rather than former Pres
idents of the United States, and didn't
catch on at first. but in an instant we did.
and simply called each others attention to
who the little man was. and went on with
our Broadway sightseeing. You see, we
were used to seeing Presidents and other
distinguished people. as all Westinghouse
are. But 1t was different with the New
Workers.. Our little man had got mixed up
In the crowd before the crowd saw him.
We were just behind him. and noticed the
first man who recognized him. He was
simply gazing. when all at once he noticed
the short man, and he half stopped and
then took a second look and passed on

was. and they stopped and turned clear
around to get second look. Then man
with a lady saw him. and spoke to the
lady. and she merely smiled. and they went
ahead. Then one or two men i'll different
parts of the crowd saw him and turned,
and just ahead three young men saw him
and lined up along the curb to get a good
look at an ex-President. The majority,
however. did not recognize him at all. This
sort of thing kept up until he disappeared
at last in the ladies' entrance of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. / heard one man say. BY
George. there's Ben. Harrison and the
man with him turned suddenly and asked,
is that so? Where is hep AT no time did
we see any woman who seemed to know
enough about politics to recognize him. and
We wondered if they didn't care a continent
tai. or really ad never seen him or a pic
ture Of him to be sufficiently impressed to
take second look at really great man.
We expected some zap or other to rush up
to him and shake his hand and tell him he
had voted for him. or something like that,
but none did, though there We're evidences
that he would not have escaped this If he
had walked two three blocks further.
The American citizen Is fearfully and Won
derfully made and if he can keep his
hands off a prominent public man in pub
lie place it Is owing largely to some other
cause than his own inclination AS for Gen.
Harrison. he trotted along entirely uncon-
cerned. and If he noticed that he was no.
ticed he didn't show any sign of it."

FEW NOW.
Liberal Police r gu1ations Lead to
Their DisuSe.

A1ASAA NS
There are few countries in which
travellers now require passports in or
der to promote their convenience and
security. IN Brazil and Venezuela a
passport must be shown to the officials
before one is allowed to leave the coun
try for a foreign port. This is a veXa-
tious measure, enforced, apparently,
for the sake Of enabling a few officials
to collect small fees.
In Russia passport regulations are en-
forced with great stringency. No tray-
eler is allowed to enter the empire until
he has obtained a passport and con-
WINGED the Russian consular officers at
the port from which he sails that he is
neither a Roman Catholic priest nor a
Hebrew. The question ordinarily asked
is: What is your religion?' but it is
designed to provide against the entry Of
either Of these two classes.
When the traveller arrives at d Rus
sian port with a passport, which has
been properly yised and countersigned
at a consular Office, it is critically eX-
amined by a police officer, and duly reg
istered.
At the entrance Of the hotel another
police officer takes possession Of the
document, and in the course of twenty
four hours returns it with a permit for
a limited residence in the country.
When the traveller departs for anoth-
| er city in the empire he must have the
passport countersigned by the police.
This process continues until he reaches
the frontier, which he cannot cross I'M
less the passport has been vised and
stamped by the police. Not infrequent-
ly tourists are stopped at the frontier,
and subjected to comply with the po-
lice regulations respecting passports.
All this red tape causes annoyance
and irritation among tourists, who are
apt to overlook the fact that Russians,
as well as foreigners, are compelled to
observe these police regulations. It is
the business of the police to know
where everybody lodges. A permit is
required if a native removes from one
quarter Of a town to another. Every
body is registered by the police when
he arrives or departs, and foreigners,
when they are in Russia, are dealt with
on equal terms with residents.
The same system prevails in Turkey,
where it is not practicable for a for
eigner to travel without a passport.
Elsewhere in Europe passports are not
required. They are relics Of a bygone
period when communications between
countries were slow and infrequent.
Now that all nations are drawn togeth-
er by the ties of constant intercourse,
a passport is out of date, except in
countries like Russia and Turkey.

Gifts to the Public.

The Chicago Tribune has rendered
valuable service in grouping the
statistics of 1899. The statistics of
donations and bequests for public
causes and institutions are far in ad-
vance of those for any previous year
The grand total is $40 27S.OOC An
drew Carnegie gave $2:52S,7OO for
libraries in II localities in different
parts of the country Thirty four
persons made gifts of 100000 or
more each for various objects. To
charities there were given or be
queatbed o total Of $13, 036, ,676 to
churches. $2.96l 593 ; to libraries.
$5,Ol2 400 to museums and art
galleries. $3.6S6, 500, and to institu
tons of learning the magnificent
sum of of $50 5Sl. .Sl7, exceeding all
other gifts put together In no
other country in the world are 90
many and 80 large gifts made to the
public The preponderance of gifts
for universities, colleges and acad
emies is right, and it is veil that the
large Institutions, with their multi
tudes of students should receive
large gifts fitting them for the great
work they are to do. The period of
great gifts for hospitals seems to be
passing, and now is the era for the
endowment of public libraries Here
Mr. Carnegie has done q magnificent
work, and his example is stirring up
others Scarce any ambition can be
wiser than that which would put
good books into the homes of the
poorest, and give to every boy and
girl the privilege of mental growth.
Some of the most recent gifts are !:
