Magazine Inaccuracies.
New York Evening Post.

The practice of the weekly papers and
monthly magazines of writing up in adj
vance spectacular events in this city, like
the inauguration of a President or the open
ing of Congress, has led TO many represen-
tatiOnS which would be comical were they
tentions it is impossible to write and picture
an event in the past tense some weeks be-
fore it occurs, as the fetch of timelineSs
now requires of the modern publication. On
the day when Congress opened Washington
was cold and clustering, but with no Sug-
gestion Of rain. Most of the pictures in the
Illustrated weeklies represented the ladies
as carrying umbrellas, but whether as sun
shades or In anticipation of a threatened
wetting, could not be known. Several of the
men who were pictured as coming down the
steps of the Capitol, and with that famous
leg movement which only the snapshot of
the kodak can give, had retired from public
life some months before and were not in
Washington at the time. 1t was evidently
thought useless to waste a good snapshot
simply because it had been taken a year or
two before.
But thrift in this line reached high-water
mark when an excellent likelineSs-also a
snapshot-of the late Marriott Brosius, of
Pennsylvania, coming out of the White
House, and buttOning up his coat, was de-
clared to be Senator Bard. of California.
Senator Bard was not in town at the time;
he has no resemblance whatever TO the late
Mr.. BrOSiuS, wearing a Scant mOustache
only, while the Pennsylvania wore rather
long chin-whiskers. Although Mr.. Bard's
face is familiar to but few of his country
men, it is probable that an expert would
have made a more discriminating selection
of a name to go with the BrOSiuS picture.
If one were to make a list of errors of this
kind, and especially the sacrifices of fact
in the interest of timeliness. the material
which the dime monthlies afford would be
most abundant.

JOHN WILKINSON DEAD
HE WAS PROBABLY THE OLDEST
SCOTCHMAN IN THE City
The Deceased Came to Indianapolis
Years Ago and Worked at Trade
rs a Tailor Until Retirement.

The death of John Wilkinson, one of the
pioneer Scotchmen of this city. took place
last night at his late residence, 231O North
Illinois street. Mr.. Wilkinson was eighty
four years old. Old age was the direct
cause of his demise. He had been up and
around until last Wednesday, since which
time he was confined to his bed.
on New Years day he complained TO his
family of not feeling we'll, and at that time
his condition occasioned some alarm among
his children.
Mr.. Wilkinson was well known in this
city, especially among the members of the
Scotch colony. For many years while he
was in business here as a tailor, with an es-
tablishment on the Circle, his rooms were
always frequented by his cOuntrymen.
Several years ago, prior to the organizing
of the CaledOnian Club, Mr.. Wilkinson and
a number of other Scotchmen banded to-
gether into what was known as the Thistle
Society. For many years this organization
f1Ourished. The headquarters was in MIR.
WilkinsOn's tailor shop. When the present
CALIFORNIAN Club was organized Mr.. Will
kinson was one of its charter members and
always took an active interest in all its
affairs.
He was an ardent Republican in politics,
but never aspired TO any political office.
During his residence in this city he was a
member of the First Presbyterian Church.
His friends always alluded TO him as the
walking encyclopedia" on account of the
great FUND of information he possessed.
He read a great deal, mainly historical and
classical works. He had a retentive men,
DRY and could with ease quote from the
works of the early masters.
Mr.. Wilkinson was born in Berwisshire,
Scotland, Aug. q, 1917. In 1851 he moved
with his wife to this country and settled in
Wellington county, Canada, sixty miles
north of Toronto. He remained there for
about eighteen years, when he moved to
indianapolis. After coming here he worked
at his trade as a tailor and opened his shop
in a little room on the Circle. He re
NAMED at this business until about five
years ago. when he was compelled by de-
Ginning years to give it up. Mr.. Wilkinson
was married in Scotland, and his wife died
twenty-eight years ago.
Six children were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
WHkinsOn-JOhn. who resides i'm CalifOr-
MIA; William, employed on an Austin CTex)
newspaper; Anthony, employed on the st.
Louis GlObe-DemOcrat; Mrs. Alice Ford, of
Chicago; Mrs. Jannette Henderson and
Mrs. y. r. CathrO, of this city. As yet no
arrangements have been made for the fu-
neral

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANlNGS
MAURICE THOMPSON HAD A BOOK
FINISHED WHEN HE DIED.
An interesting story Anent the Nam
ing of His BOOks-Max Leckner
and Carl SchurL

Stephen +. Lee. brOther-in-law Of the late
Maurice Thompson. was at the Columbia
Club yesterday. and said he had received
word from his sister. who is at Bay st.
Louis. Miss. with her son and daughter,
that they Will probably return home some
time in April or May. Mrs. Thompson
wrote that she is gradually recovering her
strength. She was almost completely pros
trated by her husbands death. She and
the two children went TO Bay St. Louis,
as was the custom of the family when Mr..
Thompson was living, to spend the winter.
Mr.. Lee says that at the time of his
brother-in-law's death he had a story al
most completed. About all it required was
the finishing touches the author would give
1t. II was Mr.. ~ThOmpsOn's custom TO not
name a story until after he had written it,
hence this one remains unnamed. Mr.. Lee
says he thinks no definite conclusion has
been reached by his sister as to what will
be done with the story. Alice Of Old Vim
cennes" was not named by Mr.. Thompson
until he had finished it. An interesting
story Is told by Mr.. Lee IN relation 10 the
naming OF the story, which was told him
son nad TWO daughters, one of whom is
married and Is living in the South. 1t ap-
pears that Mr. Thompson wanted TO name
one OF MS daughters Alice" but his wife
objected to IT. Her name is Alice" and
her husband always liked IL. When she
would not consent TO naming one of the
girls alice" Mr.. Thompson suggested that
ne put an Alice" IL one Of his stories. To
TINS Mrs, thompson also objected, thinking
II would be too much like putting ones
SELF In a story. Finally, however, the au-
thor gained his point. When he finished
qramatized he said to his wife that he had
decided on a name. He then told her they
would call ii Alice Of Old Vincennes." Mrs.
m agreed TO this. and thus the
story was named.

NAVAL
KeeIhauling a Bully in the Ward
rOOm-Rcbuking "A Sneak.
New York Press.

New York Press.
Capt. j. J. bunker, commanding the naval
station at Newport, is long. slab-sided and
lanky, and his chest looks caved in. You
would hate to joStle him for fear he would
fall apart in a hundred pieces. He is the
strongest man in the navy, and can whip
his weight in wildcats. In a wardrOOm mess
with Hunker once was one of the worst
DULLES who ever disgraced the American
navy. He was six feet tall. a Hercules in
build, and could put a longboat on his back
and pack it ashore. For the first week that
he joined the ship he made it a hell for
everybody on her. On the seventh day.
when breakfast was over and he got up
TO go out of the wardrOom, Hunker asked
him to sit down again. He requested all the
other officers of the mess to go on deck and
stay there till he sent for them. They could
see in his eye what he intended TO do, and
it was a pity; he was thin as a rail and
stoop-shOUldered-bent as If with a cough.
But they went out and left him with the
giant. Ten minutes later Hunker invited
them in again. The bully looked as if he
had been through a meat chopper. He went
to bed and stayed there for three weeks.
To this day he is an angel of grace and
courtesy.
1t will not do 10 mention this officers
name. but in the navy there is a command
er who thought il part OF his duty 10 play
the sneak act. When the men were in their
m he used to creep in on them in
stocking feet to see If they We're talking or
otherwise infringing orders after taps. One
night a sailor reached uD from his ham
mock and smashed in his face with a ham
mock hook. The officers of the ship. sit
ting as a court on the sailor. acquitted him
on his defense that he thought the catlike
intruder was a thief trying TO rob him. Of
icers and men will have no sneak business
in the navy.

A RUSSIAN DEFENDER.
Muscoyite Writer UphOIds England as
Against rma

Boston Herald.
1t is not often that the English people
can find much comfort in what is written
about their country in European publica-
tions. An exception TO this, however, is
found in a recent article in a Russian po-
litical magazine, the Viestnik Europa. The
writer of this article criticises the German
attack on the British policy in South At
RIGA, and he declares that the Germans
know that the Beers will enjoy as much
legitimate freedom under the British flag
as they would under their own. This
Russian writer declares that Great Britain
had to take up arms in order to maintain
her rightful supremacy in South Africa,
which Mr.. Kruger had planned TO over
throw. On the manner of conducting the
campaign this article calls the German
attention to The fact that If England has
been burning farhOuses In which Beers
have hid themselves or stored arms or
forage the Germans in the campaign OF 1870
Il burned whole villages on the mere ex-
cuse that they harbOred franc-tireurs.
He further states that 1.-THE British at the
Cape condemned to death or imprisonment
rebels taken with arms in their hands
in the ranks of the enemy; the Germans
shot out of hand every franc-tireur they
captured as robbers and bandits. nOtwith-
standing the declarations of the French
government that the franc-ureurs formed
an integral part of its army"
He praises the British for the patience
and humanity of their commanders and
troops. as shown in the Boer war. and says
to compare their actions with those of the
Germans in France would be the blacklist
of infamous libels." He asks what right
the Germans have to sympathize with
the efforts of the Beers to preserve their
nationality when the Germans, as a people.
have done their best to stamp out the
spirit of n~ationalism among the Danes of
Schleswig and the Poles of Posen. He also
asks why there was no protest against the
absorption 10y Austria of the Slav race IN
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
1t might not be surprising to find a Rus
sian writer in a political magazine advo-
eating the stamping out OF a people. but IL
is hard 10 understand why one should go
out of his way 10 defend England against
Germany. unless he really believed the
former country to be in the right
