HER TRIBUTE OF SYMPATHY.
Announcement That Called Out an Elk.
preston of Deep Sorrow.

| rtSSSiOii GCCH SOiIOWs
1t was the turn of the Columbia
law student who had figured success
fully as an intercollegiate debater
True sympathy sometimes crops
out where you least expect to see it,
| he said. Zone cold day last Deem
| Der I was walking through a green
house in Harlem. AS | passed down
| one of the walks near the outside ]
| noticed a little girl with her face
| pressed against the frosty window
looking wistfully at the flowers. The
gardeners attention being drawn to
her, he asked her in. She was crying
| and the longing way in which she
looked at the flowers touched us
both. The gardener asked her if she
would like very much to have some
of them. The look of gratitude that
came into her glistening eyes needed
no words of Interpretation. He gave
her a bunch of carnations freshly cut
that morning.
eve both took an Eighth avenue car
down town. She sat near the door
and as the cold wind blew in she
would shake and the tears caused by
the cold and her sad errand came I'M
checked. The affection she bestowed
upon that little bunch of flowers soon
aroused the attention and pity of
most of those in the car. She would
bury her face in the flowers, and
in her attempt to choke back the
sobs her thinly-clad little frame would
shake so that noticed it from my
seat at the front end of the car.
81 had to leave the car at Thirtieth
street, and when I reached the curb
noticed that she, too. had left the car
By that time I was very much in
terested in her and decided to follow
her and see what she would do. She
| walked toward the North river, and
then turned down the avenue and
stopped before a BARRIERS shop.
thought to myself this is a public
| place. and I'll go in and see what is
| the cause of her sorrow and to whom
| she is taking those flowers. She
timidly approached the first barber
and between her sobs told him that
poor man who had died. The barber
| looked up surprised and said:
"'My child, you have made some
mistake
No, sir she sobbed, 4 want to
give these flowers to him.
"'But you have made mistake he
replied. There has been no death
| here
| with the utmost assurance she
| looked up at him and said, oh, yes
sir; he did die here, and l want you tc
| give him these flowers
You must be mistaken. What
makes you think a man died here?'
Turning to the front of the shoI

folks don't at all relish parting with
the fee for what are termed singing,
rights, and thus it comes about that,
in order to protect their interests,
certain firms of music publish ers find
it necessary to employ ''panto spy"
1t is the duty of the spy to travel
about from town to town during the
pantomime season and pay surprise
visits at the local theatres If in the
course of performance the charming
Prince Pretypert, or the shrewish
Widow Twankey, or the bold. bad
Baron Rentless sings a ditty the copy
light of which is the property of the
ipy's employers, the latter are prompt
ly apprised of the fact A day or two
later the unauthorized singer receives
a letter from the song publishers to
the effect that unless the requisite fee
one, two or three guineas-is for
warded Immediately legal steps will
be taken to recover same.
The sum demanded is usually remit
ted at once, and the artist then gets
document in which are duly assigned
the singing rights" for the town in
which he or she is appearing.
1t is astonishing what q large num-
Der of performers try to evade pay
ment Of song fees. During the last
panto season the spy employed by one
music publishing firm was instrument
tai in bringing over a hundred artists
to book. One copyright ditty alone,
which was then then all the rage in
London, had been coolly annexed by
two-thirds of the Bits.

GOVERNMENT LOANS.
Erroneous impression of the Profits
Made in Negotiating Them.

| Made in Negotiating Them.
Alfred Mathews in an article Ell
titled Jay Cooke, federal financier,
which appears in the Era, gives a con
| versation with Mr. Cooke upon the
profits his clearinghouse received
from the enormous government loans
negotiated during the civil war period
A part of this conversation follows:-
"The public long thought, Mr.. Cooke
and probably, a little fraction of ii
still thinks, that the banking mouse OF
| which you were the head, made an i'm.
mense amount of money from the
handling of the government loans
What are the facts? ?"
"All wrong!-a most unwarrantable
error" replies the f1nancier. Two
hundred thousand dollars would cover
all the profits that the banking house
of Jay Cooke e Co. received for the
negotiation of over two billions of
dollars worth of government loans. OF
course, the immensely of the trans
actions and the far-and-wide advertis-
ing that we carried on, added to the
prestige of the house. But the per-
centages that we received for our nego-
tiations were as much smaller than
those given by other nations as the
amounts we handled were larger than
those of any other war loans known.
And we assumed all risks, too, which
[ understand is not the case with the
agents engaging abroad in the tinanc-
ing of wars. In Europe some great
house like Rothschilds place the loan
simply financiering it and not taking
the risk of dollar-and receive tor it
2, or 212, per cent in commissions.
How different the case with Us! On
the loan | have been telling you
about, we had ~ per cent on the first
10 million dollars, and g per cent on
all beyond that. That rate was con-
tinued until Mr.. McCulloch became
secretary of the treasury in March
1865, and he reduced it to Il per cent
very unwarrantably, too. Out of that
% per cent we had to pay our sub
agents, advertising accounts and other
expenses. You can see about how little
was left. But the matter of our sup
posedly large profits was made the
subject of much talk in Congress and
the newspapers, during the war, all
chiefly directed against Mr.. Chase by
his political enemies, who charged him
with favoritism in appointing me as
special agent and thereby allowing me
to make fabulous sums. 1t was all
calumny and was refuted fully at the
/ time, but sprang to life again and
again, as such things will"

HIS WINNING HAND,
How Sonsumptive Gentleman Cap.
tured Big slack Pot"

A couple of young men prominent
in several of the best clubs of this
city have been quite diligent in con-
sulting the authorities and diagnos'
ticians of poker since last September,
when they encountered new hand.
Having suddenly decided to go hunt
ing in the Adirondacks, they went
there the last week of the close
season AS the sleepers were all
full, they had to spend a night in a
coach or stay over in Utica. The
New Workers saw little choice be-
tween a Utica hotel and a Mohawk
and Malone coach, so they decided
to make the best of the nights ride,
seeing they would begin shooting SO
much the sooner. On the train they
found an acquaintance bound for
the sanitarium for consumptives at
Saranac. He introduced them to a
friend, and the four sleepless weary
wights began "a little game
AS the party was to break up al
Saranac, they started what they de
cided should be the last pot just as
the rays of the red sun were breaking
through the heavy mists Of the lower
lake There were no chips, and the
piles of coin and paper assumed
quite inviting proportions. That last
jackpot was a big one. The game
was called just as the train stopped

sumptive as he calmly pocketed the
money, "I guess it's mine. have E
