PEELED. against tho impulses Of his own

ther services his friendship and admira-
ton propose to render TO the man Tor
whom he has already done 80 much.
That Ia why he enters the lecture field
for Gen. WooD instead Of taking the
stump in the ordinary fashion.
His notoriety Is his own achievement
and his own property; and he has right
TO exult In II II he will and to capitalize II
II he can,
While there may be some technical
difficulty in arranging lecture route
which shall steer clear Of the numerous
American cities where either BALLEN-
TINE or BALANTYNE or BAILEY or CHEIR-
rroN or ALLAINE or CAMERON is known
and may I've wanted by the police, Capt
BELlAIRs's latest expedient for replen-
ishine his exchequer is quite within the
law and vastly preferable TO some which
he has previously adopted.
For example, it is not likely that in
lecturing his way to New York the pro-
moter OF Gen. WOODS fortunes will stop
to instruct the people OF Louisville, KY,
although Louisville is almost on the bee
line between Ell Paso and this metropolis.
The accident which bars Louisville to
this particular publicist has only just
now been reported by the Courier
Journal. We add it to the extensive and
variegated record of an absolutely heart
less rascal:
FOR about six months in 1890 there was en-
ployed as an assistant telegraph editor on tho
Courier journal q young Englishman who gave
his name a. E. A. cnEIRIToS. He had travelled
extensively. and his knowledge thus gained in .
measure ntted him for the work be was called upon
TO do. CHEIMIoN told his associates but little
Of his former lfe and his past one Of mystery.
One day he came into the once OF the cashier
Of the Courier journal with tears In his eyes, He
exhibited = cabeersn. saying his child had died
in England. He asked the cashier 70 cash draft
for SO, which he presented. saying he was going
back 70 England 70 bury bis child. The draft was
paid. It proved forgery. cHERIToN never came
back to Louisville"
Gen. LEONARD WOOD is due about this
time in Constantinople, whence he will
go by sea to Egypt to exchange with
Lord CRoMER ideas on colonial admins
tration. Gen. Woop left Italy little
too soon to hear at Rome or Venice OF his
faithful and useful friends new lecturing
project. He will get that important
news either at Constantinople or at Port
Said or Cairo.
When he receives the same. it may
serve to accelerate the performance Of
q duty to his own reputation, already too
long delayed, by evoking plain state
ment Of the pivotal fact in the Wood
Bellairs relations at Havana, namely,
whether Gen. LEONARD. WOODS friend
ship for and protection of BELLAIRs was
to their mutual advantage continued
after the knowledge of BELLA1Rs's real
character had reached the Palace.
