AN OLD TYPE FA1R.
Tho Trick That. Held the Crowd Until
He Had Sold His Wares.

"Back in the early eighties of the

to spend it. Of course the faklrs
took advantage of the season. The
artist have in mind was selling a
vast number Of things, but curious
little whistle that would make all
kinds of noise was the main thing.
He would charge 25 cents, only a
quarter Of a dollar, two dimes and Al
nickel, for the whistle, and, just to
show that he was generous, would
throw in bar of soap, a collar but
ton, a comb, a watch chain, as good
as gold and a few other things
Honestly, the fellow was giving
away so much stuff in order to sell
his whistle that | looked upon him

along. But the main thing that al
tracted me was the fact that the fell
low kept on threatening to- swallow
long knife he had. The knife was
as long as his arm, rusty dcsper~

moved it and announced that he
would swallow it in a second tne
crowd would congeSt around the dry

on. He would always want to give
away a few more bundles of jewelry

more than dozen times during the

A Bishops Unwise Talk.

Bishop Turner of the A. NJ. E. Church
refuses to sing America, because. as he
asserts. this is not the sweet land of
liberty" 1t is very much nearer that con-
dItion than 1t was at the time the words
of the national anthem were written. Then
Bishop Turner's people were in bondage in
its most repulsive form. A good deal has
been accomplished for them since. Their
present condition calls for something more.
and in time that something is certain to
be forthcoming. Meanwhile, as compared
with any portion of Africa, America, for
the black man. is not only the sweet land
Of liberty but the sweet land of opportun-
ity: and although Bishop Turner is a
worthy man. and doubtless loves his race.
II must be said in all frankness that the
talk he is now indulging in about a hegira
to Africa is the very worst talk that could
meet the of the more restless and
ignorant portion OF our colored population.
The negroes are here, and inevitably will
work out their destiny here.

Street Car Manners.

From the New York Herald
million denizens of this city suend q
considerable portion of their lives in the
cars of the elevated and surface railwa
lines The temper in which a man reaches
his work in the morning or his home for
dinner in the evening depends upon the
measure of discomfort he has endured in
transit, and women are even more sensi-
tive to their experiences in the cars, SO that
individual and domestic happiness is az
fected by the conditions of travel on our
street railways
suit for SANDER is pending. brought
by woman who got into dispute with
a conductor about her fare, and who as
serts that he vociferously intimated that
she was cheat. The case excites popu-
lar interest, and nearly everybody has some
story Of an alteration with a guard or con-
ductor-some incivility encountered. There
are, of course, uncivii conductors and
guards, but when one reflects upon the vast
number of these employees. their long hours,
their difficult work and the irritating Incl
dents with which they constantly contend
the wonder Is how the vast majority of
them contrive to remain civil and good ma
tured as they are. Most of the annoyances
of our street cars-apart from the inevita-
BILE crowding-are caused not by the
conductors but by the inconsiderateness and
gross discourtesy Of passengers.

olney as Fayorite Son.

Were we in need of the information from
Boston that Mr.. Olney is not a candidate

democrats who vouchsafe this information
have a poor opinion Of the intelligence Of

boom has never been taken seriously. In
the first place, Mr.. Olney Is not for him.
self. He nominated Mr. Cleveland for
President in New York last winter. In the
second place, 1t was necessary to club the
Massachusetts democratic state convention
into an expression in Mr.. Olney.s favor
What sort of favorite son is that whose
claims to support at home triumph only
after rough-and-tumble contest? The
Hearst men were very strong In spots, and
the Olneyites had to exert themselves to
the utmost to win. So that from the first
the question has been the best preference
OF Massachusetts. and how soon and in
what way it would be manifested at St
Louis
what is interesting In this news from
Boston Is the statement that Mr. CIeve-
lands candidacy is now a recognized fact
there. Let us do these Massachusetts, YAM
KEGS no injustice. They have not lust
caught on They are an alert lot. and
have seen the real situation all along. Not
theirs to be misled by the hugger-mueger
about Mr.. Cleveland's unalterabIe deter
mination never, never to resume political
leadership. An expansive New England
smile must have overspread their faces
when they read that plant of a letter
from the Sage of Princeton to st. Clair
Mckelway. But they have simply held
their peace and played the game. Seeing
that Mr.. Cleveland could not afford an
avowal of his candidacy, they have taken
their cue accordingly. Instructions for
Judge Parker would have been unwise
The point was to assist in holding Parker
back But instructions for Olney were
safe. because he could not be lifted into a

DR.. Herran to Return.

The following paragraph, which appeared
In yesterdays Star, contains news truly
gratifying:
Through Mr.. Andrews, the Colombian
consul general in New York. the State De-
partment has learned that DR.. Herran. the
Colombian charge, who formally withdrew
from Washington about two months ago.
will soon return to this city in the same
capacity. indicating a complete restoration
of friendly relations between the United
States and Colombia
At the time DR.. Herran left Washington
The Star suggested that the Colombian
government would do well to re-assign him
to this post. 1t pointed out. not only how
truly he had appraised the situation in the
canal matter but how popular he had be-
come in both official and social circles, and
expressed the opinion that he was pre-
eminently the man for his government TO
have on duty at this capital. 1t was easily
assumed, of course, that, after a little
pouting spell, Colombia would make up
with us. Dr. Herran will be very welcome
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-05-07

He Is highly respected in Washington. and
his field of usefulness should grow in Inn
portance right along
1t is to be hoped that this appointment
indicates that General Reyes also Is re-
stored to favor at home. News about him
has been quite contradictory. He was sent
here, 1t will be remembered, to push the
Panama canal matter, and when he ar
rived expressed himself with some vlgor
on the subject. Very soon, however. he
discovered the hopelessness of his mission.
and after a sojourn of several months, he
left for Paris. 1t was at that time re-
port was circulated that General Reyes
had lost prestige at home because of his
failure here. and as the result of 1t might
lose the presidency of Colombia to which
he aspired- He has returned home, but
what his present influence there may be
Is not known in this country.
With General Reyes as president and DIR.
Herran as minister to the United States,
Colombia must be greatly enhanced in
American estimation. We know both men,
and they know us. The whole Panama
business is familiar to them, and to them
must be in every way a closed incident.
Had DIR. Herran's advice been taken, there
would have been no revolution on the
isthmus. but Colombia would still be the
power there. The treaty he helped prepare
with great care, and with full knowledge
of the whole situation both here and at
home, was, however, rejected at Bogota,
and the republic of Panama sprang speedily
out of that blunder. But ais well that
ends well. and Colombia without the canal
has still much to promise herself from sup
porting friendly relations with this country.

The time was. and not SO long ago either,
when men of sixty-five and seventy regard

as having reached that point when they
should be willing to retire from the activ-
tiles of life. Our conception of the man of
sseventy-five only a few years ago was that
Bf white haired patriarch who found
pleasure only in "reminiscences, the Sec
tartan weeklies. checkers, dominos, and his
grandchildren. But the times have changed
i-fhe average man of seventy-five today Is
neither bent feeble, nor senile. He has
not retired from the activities of life that
he Is aware of; nor has he any idea of
retiring. Much less is he inclined to sur
render to the younger people around him
any of the responsibilities or pleasures OF
existence. He reads the sporting columns,
plays golf, roots for his favorite base ball
club, and may perclfance take flyer on
the races. Moreover. he is. IL anything, in
cl.ned to be more attentive to the ladies
than he was at sixty, at forty or at thirty.
