TYPES ON OCEAN LINERS
PEOPLE WHO GJVE Y1RIETY TO
 TRANS4TLANTIC TRIPS.

ferred Passenger-InevitabIe Enter l tainment,
 All journeys across the Atlantic via
 the many steamship lines now running are very much alike. But for the stu dent of human nature there is always variety furnished by the 300 types in his own class which he has to dissect to say nothing of some 700 less attrac- tive subjects in the second class and steering.
 Among the celebrities we have Uni- ted States senator whose eloquence has won him deserved fame on both sides
 of the Atlantic, and who, as is almost always the case with really able men, proves to be the mos modest and unas- suming of all the ships company. You are fortunate, indeed, if you get an op- portunity to listen to him while he tells anecdotes of public men, the inside his tory of political movements, with now and then a good story to point a moral CT illusrate an argument
 Another notable is a Bishop of huge frame, seemingly out of all proportion to the smallest state in the Union whose spiritual welfare Is his special care He, too is modest and unassuming, but he cannot, from sheer physical magni- tude, be retiring, for wherever he goes on board ship he perforce dominates the scene. He is one of the men who figured in the famous story told of an Eglishman who, in delivering an ad- dress in London, spoke of Americans as a worthy race, but deprecatingly said it was pity the men were so small in statute. Whereupon the most dearly loved of all Episcopal clergymen in America, Phillips Brooks from his seat in the audience lowered to his en- ormous height on something like feet and remarked, quietly T am an American" and there immediately fol- lowed our worthy Bishop, veritable twin to his brother divine in glorious physique, who as he stood in his place said very simply, 'T, too, am an Ameri- can" In the face of such weghty ar gument our British brother had no oth- CT resource than to withdraw his un- fortunate remark. Alas-for it is an excellent story-when asked by the writer just where in London this inci- dent took place, the Bishop replied. with a genuine tone of regret in his voice, My friend, I dislike exceedingly to spoil so good a story, but it never happened" And then, like thousands of other curious people, I was sorry I spoke.
 We have covered the church and rfxt. .4.J by a famous pianist. going home for the first time in eleven years to visit his people and renew his youth at his younger brothers wedding. He was to stay a year in his mother country, to the dire distress of countless pupils, who know not which way to turn to find successor. And he never touched the piano on board ship once but, alas, there were others.
 Fer freak we had on board one of the species whose sole aim and ambi- ton is to lead cotillons. It's name was like it's hair, parted in the middle something after the fashion of J. Will lie, It changed it's face not once dur ing the whole trip, but made up by changing its clothes at least six times a day. and promenading around the deck with an air which plainly inti- mated When you have seen me, you have seen the req! thing"
 Then there were the exclusive party with pride in their family name, inten- sified by the distance of their branch from the main stock. Papas dignity was a bit handicapped by mammals plainness, while the daughters with no complexion worth considering, wore wells all day long and perhaps all night Of one thing the girls seemed reasonably sure-they would never have to change their name, of which they seemed so proud.
 Then there was the poseur with strilS- ing beard and unlimited nerve as his entire stock in trade. Not one single natural, unaffected move did he make, but always the craze to attract atten- tion He was so full of melody and of conceit that he would ever and anon burst into song, and &C., tually twist the sheer of "derision on the faces of his audience into a smile of approval. And at home this type of traveller nicknamed Jean de Reszke was Just an ordinary tradesman. We had a second nondescript with a dis large red nose, who wore spectacles and an impossible straw hat. His mission during the journey was to accost every young woman on board ship with persistence that hardly missed offensiveness It was a English woman who gave him 1is Waterloo and put him on the re- fred list Madame was taking the | so indispensable to her ace when our friend with the nose anne on deck. Straightway he essay d to join her, quite unbdden and most | He fairly dog -trotted to | each her side as she tore along the | leck with that killing stride of the | British dame, and had just wind l though to stammer: "Do all English | adies walkIas fast as that?" And then | he axe fell and everybody knows where he got it. "On occasions" was he terse reply, and the nose dropped 'ehind not to be seen again on deck | hat day.
 And now we approach with awe the referred passenger. On every steamer | hat crosses the Atlantic, or any other cean for that matter, there is always
 special individual who, figuratively. wns the ship. No ordinary stateroom uffccs, but he must have the room of itfer the chief engineer or the chief teward, leaving these temporarily de- D in some convenient corner of the hip He has the freedom of the ridge, where he chums with the cap
