Anything to Get Through.

Commander Peary, who will make an
other dash for the pole next summer,
has achieved such fame through his
explorations that he is. now much
sought after to preside over the COM
mencements Of boys schools, says the
Boston Post.
The distinguished explorer consents
to be the guest of honor at a COM
mencement now and then, and he
speaks gracefully and forcefully at
these functions. Nevertheless they bore
him sometimes; he is often glad when
they are over.
At a certain military school COM
mencement that Commander Peary at
tended the exercises were Unfortunately
long. The explorer heard boy after
boy speak stiff1y, and usually these stiff
boyish speeches were full of compli-
ments for himself. For several hours
Commander Peary sat smiling and nod
ding in acknowledgment of youthful
f1attery, and then he turned to an in
structor and whispered:
How many more boys are there to
speak,"
II believe there are four" the in
structor answered.
Couldn't you arrange" said Com
mander Peary, 'for them all to speak
at once?"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Montgomery Advertiser (Dern,)
says: ut is significant that few of the
Presidents followers care to refer to
his writings, or make any attempt to
defend them. The only attempt at de-
Tense that any of them make is to
set up the plea of youth, and that is a
poor defense. He was 30 years OF age
and over, when he was busying himself
detaming some of the very best men
who helped to make this government,
and who not only helped to make it,
but to sustain and build 1t up. He
was old enough to have had settled
opinions and ought to have possessed
more patriotism and genuine Ameri-
canism than to have sent out such de-
famatory histories. The best defense
his friends can make is by keeping
silence"
The Pittsburg Post (Dem.) says:
THE duty of the greater part of fed
eral officeholders. the way politics goes
these days. is to earn their salaries
and serve the President in his politi-
cal ambitions as organization Republi-
cans. II is big army, and very
effective one. for the officeholders as
class are bright and well-trained men,
WIN ANW bIihYlSo al supporting the
orders and desires of their political
leaders. An administration that can
count unhesitatingly on the active la
bors of fully 100000 officeholders OF its
own party has a tremendous and un-
fair advantage I'm national elections
and in this classification we don't count
In the great army of trusts and its
adherents in all departments of trade
and industry"
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
But the point about Gov. wright's
cablegram that makes one most indig-
nant Is thai this great batch Of sophis-
try, constituting a partisan campaign
argument, is transmitted at the public
expense as an official report. The Sec
Rotary Of War, doubtless under direct
instructions from the President, cabled
Gov. Wright a portion OF Judge Par
ker's speech OH the Philippine ques-
ton and requested the Governors COM
ments. The Governors comments were
as long as they were wrong, and the
bill is paid by Democrats as well as
by Republicans. The use OF govern
mental functions in the interest Of the
political party 70 which the oficehold-
ers belong Is an evil that r. increasing

by the people will no longer exist
among US unless the misconduct IL
checked. We are travelling rapidly to-
wards the establishment OF an ONCE

ONO MANS RARE coIN.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
Rare coins are seldom found outside
the cabinet of a curio collector. but F.
w. Beebe of Ohio, who was at the
Fifth Avenue hotel last night, has one
the value of which is fifteen times It's
face stamp on account of the passion
many persons have for securing the
unusual denomination of money. 1t is
81 gold piece, made in the year 1879,
and it catalogued by all coin agen-
cies at Sc. In remarking on the coin
last night Mr.. Beebe said:

live fairly well with no other asset

cigars which it got for me, and 1 still

session from my employer, and he got

WALL STREET sUPERsTITIoNs.
From the New York Press.


A veteran speculator says:
In one of the Cotton Exchanges
there is a black cat. 1t is a female.
but they call her Niger Bull. They
call her Niger because she's black,
and I'll tell you why they call her Bull.
When that cat happens to stroll onto
the floor of that cotton exchange
there is not broker in that ring who
doesn't bid for cotton. One day last
winter she walked through the door
and onto the floor and stretched her
right hind leg; it was regarded as un>
usually bullish, and cotton immediate
ly jumped 40 points. The market Is
good for a 10 or 10 point rise any time
the cat comes onto the floor.
There is another important oper-
ator who stops to get his shoes shined
in the lobby of the exchange every
morning before going upon the floor.
He always asks his bootblack whether
he shall buy or sell in case he is not
strongly committed to one side or the
other. And he takes the bootblack S
advice.
Still another wears a gray suit of
clothes when he wants to sell cotton
and dark blue when he wants to be
successful on the buying side An
other heavy trader, who also plays a
good hand at poker, says if he wins
at cards the night before, he buys cot
ton; If he loses, he sells it. Another
one of these cotton experts keeps out
of the market if his toe happens to
go over a. crack in the floor on which
he is walking.

Only Cant Hook He Could Find.

If the report of the Fulton Gazette
Is true. says the Kansas City Journal.
Missouri farmer. accompanied by
several of his hired men, went into the
woods one morning in the fall of the
year to cut down some trees. When
about to begin work 1t was discovered
that the cant hook had been left be-
hind. Turning to one of the men. an
lrishman not very long over, the farm
er instructed him to drive back to the
barn for the missing tool. The Irish
man did not know what a cant hook
looked like but was averse to exposing
ms ignorance, so drove off on his err
rand trusting to find some one at the
farm who would enlghten him.
At the barn. however. there was no
one to help him out Of his dilemma.
Casting his eyes about the place for
the thing would be most likely to bear
the name of cant hook" he saw a
muley cow with never a sign of a horn
upon its head, and concluded it was
What he had been sent for.
Procuring rope he fastened the
COW to the rear end of his vehicle and
exultingly drove back to the woods.
What the Sam Hill have you
there?" shouted the farmer, on seeing
his messenger and the COW. II sent
you for the cant hook to use in NOV
ing the logs. What have you brought
that COW for?"
"Be jabers, boss. divil another thing
could see around the barn that can't
hook but this"

ASPIRATIONS AFTER DEATH.

Andrew Lang, in Harpers Magazine.
How are we to explain apparitions
of the dead? The evidence for these
was much less copious and, necessa-
rily, much less satisfactory. No COIN
cident crisis in the affairs of the dead
could, of course, be detected, as in
the case of the living. Again, even if
we grant that telepathy between the
living is a fact in nature, a ghost of
the dead can hardly hope to prove his
identity
TO take a case: A young American
commercial traveller, alone in his room
at a hotel, suddenly saw his dead
sister standing beside him. He rose
to embrace her, but she fed like the
shade of the mother of Odysseus in
Homer. He went to his distant home
and told his parents, adding that on
the cheek of his sister there was a
scratch which he had not seen in her
lifetime. The mother explained that
in arranging, when alone, flowers
around the dead body of the sister, in
the coffin, she had accidentally
scratched the face, but concealed the
mark with powder.
Now, If telepathy exists, the mother,
brooding over the memory Of the
daughter, might transmit the whole
vision of the dead, scratch and all, to
the mind of her distant son.

Judge d. Cady Herrick, Democratic
nominee for Governor of the state of
New York, has long been known as a
wit among his associates on the Bench
and his friends In the legal fraternity,
says the New York Herald. Not long
since he was in Monticello, Sullivan
county, trying the case of Mrs. Kate
Taylor, who shot her husband and then
chopped him up with an axe and burn
ed portions Of his body in the kitchen
stove. The jury found the woman
guilty of murder in the second degree
and Judge Herrick sentenced her to
lie Imprisonment. One evening dur
ing the course of the trial, after court
had adjourned, Judge Herrick was ask
ed if he could tell why so many more
women than men fiocked to the lit
tie Court House and listened with
such intense interest to every detail
of the crime.
That reminds me-" said the Judge,
with smile, ''of the story of the Con-
federate veteran, who gave aims to
an old g. A. r. cripple The Union
soldier had lost both legs and one arm

ROOSEVELT ALARMED.

The big independent newspapers OF
New York and Philadelphia have sent
special correspondents into the doubt
full states to feel the public pulse on
the political situation. These CORE
spondents, during the past week, have
reported a remarkable turning of the
tide of popular sentiment towards
Parker and Davis. This is attributed
in a large measure to the series of
striking speeches that Judge Parker
has made during the past ten or
twelve days, and to Mr.. Davis whirl-
wind campaign in West Virginia. And
coincident with these reports comes
the announcement that Judge Parker
will take the stump in New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
All of these circumstances. 1t seems,
are having a depressing effect on the
President. He is becoming alarmed
and FESTIVE. A Washington dispatch
says he is strongly inclined to break
silence, throw precedent and dignity
to the Winds" and jump into the whirl
of the campaign himself. The Presi-
dent is alleged to have urged upon his
advisers that it is absolutely neces-
sary to do something, and do it quick
ly. if the doubtful states are to be
saved to the Republican party. He
prefers to take the stump, but if that
is overruied by his managers he in
sists upon writing a series of letters
i'm defense of his admin ST RAT ion ad-
dressing them to prominent Republi-
can leaders. Up to this time the lead
ers have succeeded in persuading the
candidate to keep quiet, but it is sus-
pected that next week will witness
either a rapid-fire of speeches or let
ters from him.
The President, it is alleged, is par
ticularly exercised about the charges
made by Judge Parker as to extrava-
gance in the expenses of the govern
ment and the influence of the trusts
in the affairs of the Republican party.
Several Republican leaders have es-
sayed to ANSWER" these charges, but
none of them has done so quite to the
liking of the President. That the
President has become FESTIVE with re-
spect to the doubtful states is bet
ter indication of the drift of senti-
ment than the quoting of figures of
the election betting in Wall street.
Many of these Wall street election
bets, by the way, are made only for
the purpose of being published.
