1t happened on board the ship con-

One afternoon tx. of K" was doing
in his deck chair, for even Homer
mods awhile, when the small maiden in
question, playing with her ball, per-
haps by accident, perhaps by design,
let it fly into his lordship's face,
whence it rolled to his feet. Lord
Kitchener woke up and turned upon the
child, who by this time had ap-
preached him, that basilisk gaze be-
fore which the hearts of strong men
have often turned to water.
But the child was in nowise abash-
ed. Pick up my ball." she said i'm
peratively. Lord Kitchener frowned
and answered not.
"Pick my ball." reiterated the small
damsel insistently.
Haven't you got a nurse?" said
Lord Kitchener in an. awful voice.
The interrogative mood was answer
ed by the imperative.

Lord Kitchener looked round de-
spairingly, but achievements were not
in sight. Where is your mother?" he
said weakly.
"Pick-up-my-ball The ultima
tum was delivered in crescendo tones
which suggested the imminence of
something worse to follow, and Lord
Kitchener meekly complied. Then he
fled incontinently to the smoking room.

THE SALOON I<EEPERs, FRIEND,

Is Bishop Potter a friend of the sa-
loon keepers? The saloon keepers of
Pennsylvania seem to think So They
held a convention in Philadelphia on
Tuesday and they invited the Bishop
to address them. The day before the
meeting of the convention they had
received no response from him. Per-
haps the invitation didn't reach him.
Many ministers and prohibitionists
will make the invitation an excuse for
attacking the Bishop. They attacked
him with great bitterness because he
attended the opening of the Subway
Tavern in New York. He thought he
was doing the right thing in attend
ing. He believed the Subway Tavern
would be a sort of poor mans club,
and that it would be so conducted that
it would discourage drinking to excess,
that it would be a reform saloon.
1t may be he was wrong, and that
by his presence at the beginning of
what he considered an experimental
saloon. he gave encourag cement to
many to become patrons of saloons
who before that time never entered
such places. That is the view his
critics take Of his conduct. Is it the
right view? That is question that
hasn't been answered satisfactorily
yet.
But ought the Bishop to have accept
ed the invitation to address the Penn
sylvsnia saloon keepers? We don't see
why not. If it was seriously given. 1t
opened the way for him to say to a
very influential class of men good
many things that might lead them to
so conduct their business that it's evils
would be less.
There cannot be much doubt that the
invitation was seriously given. That
being the case the members OF the
convention. It is fair to assume. were
really anxious to have the Bishop talk
10 them about their business. II is a
legitimate business. and doubtless
many Of those engaged in It would
like TO see II placed upon as high a
plane as possible. All Of them are
not anxious 10 make drunkards nor
are they disposed 20 encourage drink
ing TO excess. No doubt many, II not
the most. OF them would much prefer
10 have as customers those who drink
IN moderation and who are law abld-

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
From the New York World.

ETOHl the NEW 1OIk WOI
She was tall and fair, with blue eyes
and light brown hair. Her clothes fit
ted to perfection, and Fifth avenue
promenaders credited her with the
best figure in town. Every day she is
wont to walk down the avenue, lead
ing her pet Boston bull terrier. The
dog is a darling in the eyes of its
mistress, one of the kind that will eat
out of your hand and come when call
ed. Never snapped; never bit-wouldn't
hurt a child.
She walked up Fifth avenue with the
dog yesterday afternoon. 1t was al
most s o'clock. She had just time for
a short stroll through the park and
then home in time to dine.
Going their way was a homeless cur
1t looked as if it had not had a decent
meal in week. Its coat was matted
and dirty. How dare it venture ovx
on Fifth avenue? But the homely cur
spied the beautiful woman and her pet
"Ah, I'll make friends" it said.
With a wag of the tail and friend
ly bark the cur ran after the Boston
bull.
go way from here. you brute, I"
cried the fair one, poking the intruder
with her umbrella How dare you
come near my pet?"
Then, spying Policeman Cassidy, of
the Park squad, she demanded:
Officer, do your dutyl You are here
to protect the public. Drive that mis-
cradle dog away"
Policeman Cassidy is the most pop
ular man in the park. He never fails
to respond to duty's call.
'I'H drive the animal where it be-
longs" he said.
But the homely cur wouldn't be
driven. It thought that it had equal
rights on Fifth avenue with dogs of
the richest rich.
When Policeman Cassidy tried to do
his duty the homeless cur with one
lunge got a death grip on his trous-
ers. There was a ripping, rasping
sound, and the trousers gave way I'M
der the strain.
But this did not worry Cassidy. He
was up at the cur again.
This time the wanderer sank its
teeth into the calf of his left leg
When the policeman got loose the cur
was making toward Second avenue
with a mouthful of cloth and flesh
Cassidy went to Mount Sinai Hos
.pital.
The TALL fair one with her pet got
home in time for dinner.

A nEvoLurroN IN TRousERs.
From the New York Sun:


There is CONSERVATION among the
golden youth of London. The tailors
of the British metropolis are in de-
spair. But, as earnest and loyal sup
porters of the throne, of church and
state, they don't know what to do.
They owe a duty to their sovereign.
They also owe duty to "dressy
men, the world over. New York as
well as London expects them to be
true to their beautiful art.
King Edward appeared at the New
market races the other day in the
old-fashioned white high hat. That
was revolt. He also had four
creases in the leg of each trouser,
north and south, east and west. That
was a revolution. 1t was not an ac-
cident, for II. R. H. the Prince of
Wales, like dutiful son, had followed
his fathers example.
Shall we or shall we not? Have we
declared our independence in the mat
ter of toys? Will New York, like
London, go about with its legs in
square boxes? Must the man with
straight underpinnings take to a fash
ion which will be welcomed by those
whose extremities are of the bowed
variety?
In fashions all things are possible,
but all things are not expedient.
Madge Kendal's husband, Willie, was
playing in this city on one occasion.
Through the mistake of his man a
pair of trousers were ironed the wrong
way. When the discovery was made
it was too late. The comedian went
on the stage at the Fifth avenue Thea
ter. Something new" said the dan
dies in the audience. The next day
there was almost a riot on the Stock
Exchange when a number of youth
full members of that body appeared
on the floor with the creases reversed.
Edward, r. l.. is a, courageous man.
For many years the dictator of mas
culine fashion, just as Jane Hading
was the dictator of feminine, he has
had his defects. He tried to intro
duce colored evening clothes, with knee
breeches, the hygienic frock coat, the
brown frock coat. Although his taste
in art is not superior to that of the
rest of his family. he realizes that
something ought to be done in the
matter of clothes, which, as far as
men are concerned. have now reached
the high-water mark of ugliness.
But it would not be surprising If
the tailors of New York and London
insisted On having the question of
trousers submitted to The Hague court
for arbitration.

Little Gertrude.

Little Gertrudes fair young auntie
took her to the hotel for dinner the
other evening, to show her off. says
the Chicago Record Herald. Gertrude
lives far, far away, and had just been
brought to see Auntie Grace and grand
ma. She is unusually sweet and beau
tiful, and everyone who sees her says
at once:
why, what lovely child. and
how much she looks like her
auntie."
So ALntie Grace took her to the fash
ionable place where she and grandma
board during the summer and. as they
went up the steps to the broad veranda,
who should hurry forward to greet
them but Mr.. Wallingford! Perhaps
it was the sweet little girls beauty
that had attracted him, and then again
perhaps it wasn't. Anyway the roses
in Auntie Grace's cheeks took ON
deeper tint than they usually have,
and it is well known that Mr.. Walling-
ford has even forgotten about his auto
mobile while watching her enter the
dining room.
.Well, WELL" said the gentleman,
holding out a hand to the little girl,
II didn't know you had a younger
sister, Miss Frewen. Won't you please
introduce me?"
Il haven't, but 1 have an older sis
ter. This is her little girl. Ger
trude, this is Mr.. Wallingford."
"Ah, Miss Gertrude, I am very glad
to meet you. Won't you come over
here and sit down and tell me all
about where you live and how you like
it here?"
Little Gertrude suffered herself to be
led away. but after being provided with
a seat she found a ribbon that SEEM
ed to be very much to her taste and
proceeded to chew it.
Come, sweetheart" protested Auntie
Grace, "you mustn't do that. Can't
you say something to Mr.. Walling-
ford? Tell him about the doll you for
got to bring with you"
Taking the ribbon from her mouth,
little Gertrude, ignoring her auntie's
suggestion concerning the doll, said:
I've got a new pair of carriers on,
Just like Auntie Grace's, and they're
the beautifulest you ever saw. Do
you"
But that was where the combined
efforts of a brave man and a lady fair
were rewarded by the subsistence of
little Gertrude.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Houston (Tex.) Post und.) says:
Mr. Watson thanks God for giving
him courage to make the race for the
presidency. Is it possible that Mr.. Wat
son can not distinguish the difference
between courage and sublimated
gall?"
Says the Baltimore Herald (Ind.) of
a part of Senator Fairbanks speech in
that city: Against his statement that
Baltimore lost more during the last
Cleveland administration than she did
in the fire, we place the fact that in
those four years Baltimore gained ST.
100000 in her tax basis, which meant
much more than that amount in her
wealth. Against Senator Fairbanks
further statement that Maryland suf-
fered from a Democratic administra-
ton, we place the fact that Maryland
in the four years from 1892 to 1896
gained over SS0,00O.0OO in her tax ba-
sis, and still more in her general
wealth"

WORK FOR THE IDLE.

Some days ago the New York papers
contained statements that there were
1900 idle people in that city-people
who were on the verge of starvation
because they could find no employment.
| A woman, writing from Stamford,
Conn. to the New York Herald, under
the date of Sept. "a, says that her APP
Piles are rotting on the ground because
she can't get anybody to pick them,
that she has corn to cut. potatoes to
dig and wood to cut, and that she can
not get help anywhere in her vicinity.
She further says that all the farmers
in her part of the state are in need
of help.
1t seems from this statement there
is plenty of work to be had at good
wages within an hours ride of New
York city And yet, according to re-
liable statements. there are more than
10000 homeless idle men in that city
who are depending upon the free soup
and free lodging houses for food and
shelter.
A question which presents itself is
this Ought not some of the money
that is spent in maintaining the free
lodging and free soup houses be used
for sending the unemployed where
work is to be had? 1t may be that
only small percentage of these idle
people would accept employment on
Connecticut farms. but some of them
would. and the others wouldn't be en-
titled to a great deal of sympathy or
assistance. Those who won't work
when they can get work to do don't
deserve help from the charities.
Here in the South the fields are white
with cotton and the farmers are in
need of help to pick it. They can af-
ford to pay good prices to pickers and
are willing to do so. There are plenty
of healthy and strong idle men and
women in the cities and smaller towns
who are complaining they can find no
employment. Are they in earnest? Do
they really want work? Or do they
belong to that large class that don't
intend to work unless they can find
employment of some sort that requires
but little exertion?
In times like these those who want
work can find it, provided they are
willing to do any kind of work that is
offered, but. as a general rule, those
who complain they can't get work and
look to the public for support want to
dictate the kind of work they shall do
and the wages they shall receive. And
the most of them don't want to work
even on these terms. Misdirected char
ity is responsible for the size of the
army of unemployed in about all of |
the cities

THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW YORK.

In New York the Republicans are on
the defensive, which is almost equiv
alent to being on the run. Before they
held their convention they boosted
they could elect a "yaller" dog this
year, hence it didn't matter much
whom they nominated. Now they are
in a panic, and their leaders are run
ming hither and thither asking one an
other what they can do to save their
ticket from defeat.
The charge in the Democratic plat
form that the Odell administration has
been outrageously xtravagant-that
the public money has been recklessly
spent-has created a strong feeling
against the Republican party in the
state, and the people are saying it is
time there was change in the politi-
cal complexion of the administration.
Finding his statement as to how he
spent the public money wasn't having
the desired effect Gov. Odell stated
that if he was not using the public
money properly the Attorney General,
who is Democrat. ought to have
called halt. The Attorney General
has replied, saying that on several oc-
casions he advised the Governor that
certain appropriations were not ac-
cording to law, but that his interfer-
ence wasn't appreciated and his opin-
ion wasn't needed. That was cold
comfort for the Governor and his
party.
What course will the Republican
leaders take now? 1t is practically
certain that the state is lost to their
party. In few days the Democratic
candidate for Governor will be on the
stump, and that he will give addi-
tional life to the campaign there is
no doubt.
In the meantime the Republican
spellbinders are begging the people not
to charge Gov. Odell's sins against the
Republican candidate for Governor.
They are even saying they do not op-
prove Gov. Odells course in holding
on to the governorship while acting
as the campaign manager of his
party.
Unless all signs fail. the Repuhli-
cans are beaten in New York. If that
impression becomes fixed In the other
doubtful states it will go a long way
towards putting them in the Demo.
cratic column.

CLEVELAND AS A FISHERMAN.

fGO17 the NEW YORK PfeSS.
Ex-President Cleveland is a good
fisherman. His excellent standing in
the fraternity of anglers is due less to
his skill than to his cultivation of the
faculty of CT edence. He listens in pa
tience to ev, Y fish story that comes
along and believes it absolutely, pro-
vided it is not backed up by unworthy
witnesses. Only the fisherman of i'll
repute calls for witnesses. Amt that
so, Bill, George, Jim and John?" says
the professional prevaricator, weak in
his own faith and responsibility. The
truthful man states the case and rests
without appeal. To tell a fishing story
at second hand is always dangerous
and should be avoided by all honora BILE
followers of the piscatorial art.
MIR. Cleveland has never fished in the
susquehanna, l am told. He detests
trolling, and is not overload OF catch
ing very big fish. A rochfish Striped
bass) of twenty-five pounds would not
please him half so much as three or
four small-mouthed black bass of one
tenth that weight. And he is, Of
course, right. Trolling for those big
fish is not angling. 1t may be safely
asserted that the more delicate the
tackle the keener the sport. In 60
ing for nty-hve-pounders one needs
a stout rod and thick line, with enor-
nous hooks and two or three pounds
OF bait and sinkers. He drags his lure
through the watt and is as likely to
snag his FISH as TO catch IL In the
mouth. In the Saturday Evening Post
the former President rather discredits
trout fishing with artificial flies and
exalts the pursuits of the smail-mouth-
ed black bass, which are large when
they reach four pounds. and whose
gameness Is unquestioned.
