Money for the Beers.

Secretary Hay has been notified by Sec
retary van Vlissingen through Gov, Yates,
chairman of the Boer relief fund committee,
that the request upon the State Department
for permission for the Thomases to pass
the military lines in South Africa in con-
nection with the extension of aid to the
Boer families, has been withdrawn. The
incident has been happily arranged by a
personal exchange between President Roose-
welt and the Boer committeeman. Having
ascertained that the sole purpose Of the
committee was to place in the hands of
the Boer sufferers a small fund collected by
them, President Roosevelt turned the mat
ter over to Secretary Hay. The latter
promptly cabled to United States Consul
General Bigham at Cape Town an instruc-
tion to draw upon him for SS,ooo-the
amount of the fund-aud to exercise his
own discretion in the distribution of the
money among the Boer sufferers. Thus

Is Mr. Frank Munsey being sold out1"
is the question which the scribe was alb
ruptly asked by we'll known merchant the
past week After a soothing reply to the
startling interrogatory the scribe gently in
quired as to the motive of the question or
the hidden meaning behin1 it.
We'll" said the merchant, the case
stands thus You know Mr.. Hutchins is a
past master on selling newspapers for a
round sum and re-purchasing them for a
lesser amount. He has been very success
full at this kind of newspaper jockeying
The only purchaser who ever gave him a
Roland for his Oliver was the Hon Beriah
wilkins, present owner of what you cor
rectly describe as one of the best daily
newspapers in the country Mr.. wilkins
held Stilson down in fine shape and also
held on to the Post"
"To the point please?"
"Ah-yes, the reason propounded the
question is Frank Munsey being sold out is
this.
II called in at Horns the tailor on little
business, and after its transaction we fell to
discussing advertising. Mr.. Horn related a
recent experience with Manager Leech of
the Times. There was balance of about
one hundred dollars due the paper and Mr.
Leech called and peremptorily demanded
Horns check, or that he would sue him
forthwith Now Horn is good patron Of
the press and always pays up promptly
His advertising bill per annum with the
Times is considerably over 1000. Hence
his surprise at the rough treatment to
which he was subjected by Leech He in
formed the manager after some words to
do as he pleased and the next day Mr.
Horn called at the Times Office and laying
down his check for the balance due, said:
When this man Leech, who insplted
me, is discharged from the Times will
sign a $500 contract for advertising. Until
he is discharged 1 will not place another ad-
vertisement in the paper" Now you see the
drift Of my question. And when this treat
ment to which Horn was subjected is dupi'
Gated with such an advertiser as Hecht
there is more in my interrOgatory than at
first appears.
That the Times is losing business every
body is aware, but that its manager was
helping the thing along by his singular
methods of collection nobody but those in
terested dreamed AT the present rate of
deterioration of the Times Mr. Hutchins
can re-purchase it on his return from
Europe at mnch less figure than is re-
puted he sold the concern to Munsey.
1t should be stated in explanation that
Mr.. Leech is left over by Mr. Hutchins
and very loyal to that gentleman and his
interests.

Mr. Ware, is we'll and favorably known in

fort from some of their subjects of attack,
but there are others who have tender spots
that are easily reached and are not even

these was the late Senator Brice, who did a
good deal of indiscriminate 'loaning" Of
