Was No BellbOy.

William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, long one
of Senator Platt's trusted lieutenants in
Republican party management, is being
made to stand for a rather strong yarn by
the members of the "Amen Corner" at
the Fifth Avenue hotel, says the New
York Times. The story is of the last Re-
publican national convention, held at
Philadelphia, and to which Mr.. Barnes
was delegate.
On the Sunday afternoon preceding
the convention, when the clans were gath
ering, Mr.. Barnes reached the Walton
hotel with big grip. Near the door stood
a young colored man, nattily attired in a
dark blue suit Without word MIR Barnes
handed his grip to the astonished colored
man.
Take that to my room," said he with
the imperious air of delegate.
"But what am that foh, subj" gasped
the young negro, hanging on to the grip
forevident want of something better to do.
What for?" yelled Barnes. Don't
talk back to me; don't put up with it
from bellboys."
But, sub, Abs no bellboy; deed All
amt, sub Abs an honorable delegate
from Mississippi, sub an All don't take
no insults from nobody, sub. All don't"
Grabbing his grip, Barnes fed pre-
cipitately without even trying to square
himself with his fellow-delegate.
