New York's ProvinciaIism.
From the Philadelphia Record.

II am not surprised that New York
ignored the Liberty bell on its trip to
Boston," said the itinerant reporter.
1T is characteristic of New York to
ignore everything beyond its own boun-
daries. Five or six years. ago l was
working on one of the New York pa
pers at the time of the restoration of
Independence Hail., and it occurred to
me that a good story on the subject,
illustrated with photographs, would
make a timely feature for the Sunday
supplement l suggested it to the Sun
day editor one day. but he was busy
with other work, and gave me scant
attention. l tried him two or three
times later. but he was always preoc
cupied. Finally / caught him one day
when he was at leisure. and he said:
What is this Independence Hall you've
been buzzing about?' l sat down and
explained to him, and actually 1t SEEM
ed as though the man had never known
of the existence of such a building
He was a typical New Yorker, and had
probably never been west of Newark
in his life. oh, fudge!' he said. L
don't think that's of any interest to
our readers. Now, here's a story about
six toes on each foot, and she's going
to submit to an operation to have the
superfiuous ones removed There's a
story for you. Go out and. see if you
can get a photograph of her foot, and
We'll make a double page feature of
it"

Boarding Officer NJ. J. Barrett left
yesterday for a few weeks trip to
Lithia Springs, Ga. where he expects
TO recuperate. officer Barrett select
ed a quiet time with the shipping for
his trip for there is practically nothing
doing at the moment The wharves
are largely deserted, and few vessels
are arriving, which does not cali much
for the services of the boarding officer.
His duties are to board incoming yes
sells as the governments representative
and see to il that all regulations are
properly observed. The government
launch Tybee is at the officers dis
posal, and in this he goes down the
river to meet incoming craft. He Is
the first 10 go aboard. 1t is a viola
ton of law for persons to board an in
coming foreign vessel until she has
first been boarded by the officer, and
he has signaled to others the privi-
lege to also come aboard. The object
OF this law is to prevent any interior
ence with the officer in the discharge
of his duties. Mr. Barretts friends
along the river, and he has many of
them, wish him a pleasant vacation.

AN EDDY FINANCIER.
From the New York Press.

From the New YORK PreSS.
One of the truly great men of the
West is Arthur Euripides Stilwell, the
man of Port Arthur-named for him.
Stilwell is a Christian Scientist. When
he had unfortunately induced those
rich bankers of Amsterdam to invest
millions and lose them in the Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad 1t
was universally believed that he was
dead in the world of finance and pro-
motion. Presently he bobbed up Sc
renely in New York with new prop
osition, the Kansas City. Mexico and
Orient Railway. Think of the ground
that name covers Nothing small
about Stilwell He is of the earth,
earthly.
When he appeared in New York with
this second Cor fortieth) promotion
Stilwell was asked: What do you
expect to do? Those fellows in Holland
have lost millions through your former
schemes. Do you suppose they will
touch anything else that you are push
ing?" II don't know he replied; Il
leave it all to God" "Well, but
Never mind 1 leave it all to God. 1
know it will come out all right. l don't
know anything about finance. 1 don't
know anything about promoting. L
don't know anything about syndicating
big enterprises. l leave it all to God.
l know III get all the money 1 want
through Christian Science. l have
never yet failed. I'm going to the same
people who lost on my other PROPOSE
ton and they'll all come in. My faith
tells me that" And, brethren, sure
enough, he went to Holland and got
his former friends to put up all the
money he needed for the Kansas City,
Mexico and Orient.

YELLOW DOG Is THE BEST.
Bulldogs of saffron Hue Have the
Most AristOcratic Breeding.

From the Washington Post.
young naval officer returned to the
city recently from an extended cruise
throughout the waters of the Eastern
Hemisphere, and, as usual. brought
home many curious and unusual things.
OF these none is more worthy of men
ton than an exceedingly handsome
specimen of the English bulldog, pre-
scented to the officer by a friend. who
resides in a remote and fashioned
quarter of England. In the opinion
of local canine experts. this particular
animal. Rex is his name, is perfect so
far as form is concerned, but exceed
ingly "off color" In fact, Rex is what
nowadays is very rarely seen in bull
dogs; a bright buff or orange. yellow
and this color spoils him as a show
animal The fashionable color for
modern bulldogs, bull terriers, etc.
is brindled black and dun, with or
without white spots; in fact, most any
color other than yellow.
= Yet in one sense this same yellow
color should render Rex doubly val
liable. Buff or orange yellow was the
original color of the English bulldog,
back in the days of good Queen Bess
and down as late as the days when
Dickens wrote of Bill Sykes. Then,
Tor some reason, the yellow color De-
came unpopular and breeders set about
eliminating the Objectionable hue, so
that for nearly a century the yellow
bulldog has been a thing unknown and
forgotten. Yet in certain old-fashion-
ed stock-raising districts of England.
such as the West Riding of Yorkshire.
the primitive buff yellow bulldog still
exists and continues to be the faVorits
of drovers who employ the animal for
the same purposes their ancestors used
him for centuries ago and from which
the animal received the name-namely.
for catching and holding fierce and in
tractable male bovines by the nose
Cattle are extremely sensitive about
the noses and a strong, courageous
bulldog can seize and hold a refractory
bovine for any short length of time
until secured with ropes the huge an
imal fearing to move lest the pain to
his sensitive nostrils be increased by
the sharp teeth of the dog. Therefore.
Rex, who first saw the light of day in
the region where the primitive bulldog
is still to be found, deserves mention
as the sole specimen of the ancient race
of English bulldogs in Washington, If
not in the entire East.
