Bill" may not persist in getting a al
vorce after all. Cody is one of the hes
known, best liked men who ever stenN
ped foot in New York, and his friends
will be glad if this latest report proves
true.
cody's first big chance was given to
him by Prof Henry A. Ward. the
Rochester student of National Science
who met him soon after the famous
buffalo hunt which was got up for
Alexis. Russian Grand Duke, in 1872
Cody took part in the hunt. and Ward
was invited to be present also but he
arrived too late. Ward regretted his
hardness keenly, but when he met
Cody the scientist forgot his regret in
the pleasure he received in talking with
the hunter. He knew many things
about the wild animals of the plains
which Ward was anxious to find out
Ward doomed Cody consistently and
persistently after that and induced him
to make Rochester his home, where he
dwelt a part of each year for a long
time.
Younger readers will not remember
1t, but older ones are familiar with the
fact that for years before Cody es-
tablished his outdoor Wild West Show
he appeared on the theatrical stage
every year in q melodrama of the ter
ritory to the westward of the Missis-
sippi. 1t was in Rochester that Codv
being asked for some free tickets bv
an acquaintance, wrote out and signed
a note reading: admit bearer and
party" More than that, he made no
kick when the acquaintance presented
himself at the door heading party
of tWenty-siX persons. Cody was al
ways full of good nature when his
show was to be given in Rochester.
He might be morose elsewhere; in 9TH
er places he might be chary of free
tickets, but in Rochester, his home, he
was always genial; there the whole
town, almost, might have seen his show
for nothing if the request were pre-
ferred.
Cody's strongest point, curious as it
may seem to one not acquainted with
him and his achievements, is executive
ability, the trait that makes railroad
presidents, successful generals and
great financiers win.
He is now g. and his once jet black
hair is white as snow. He still wears
1t long, but generally coiled up under
his hat: not hanging down his back
as was his custom in the days of his
prime. Cody knows the nature of the
North American Indian better, proba-
bly,, than any other living white man,

more of the present generation is like
ly to have the chance to study the
aboriginal character as he did.
Emma Goldman, the fire-eating an
archist, has been quiescent for long
time, and the town is so little inclined
to take her seriously now that her wild
attack on the Gar of Russia and his
manifestoes of intended clemency at
tracted scant attention the other day
1t is not generally known to the pub
lie, but the occupation by which this
radical woman earns her living is as
gentle as the opinions she seeks to pro-
pagate are fierce. She is a trained
nurse, and she follows that calling be-
cause she has a passion as absorbing
for the alienation of human suffering
as her thirst for the blood of human
rulers is consuming.
Miss Goldman is no longer a young
woman, and the blue eyes which used
to sparkle so NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
are now shaded by thick pebble spec
tacles. She is obliged to take money
for her nursing, but she declares she
never would were not money neces-
sary to her in the present out-of-joint
state of human society. She says that
the period in which she was learning
the nurses art was one of the most
disagreeable in her whole life, because
she had to submit to the severe dis
cipline of the nurses school Per-
sonal discipline is the most abhorrent
thing in the whole world to Miss
Goldman, but she has to submit to it
like all the rest of mankind, much
as she may object.
Those who know her well say she
is a remarkably well read and highly
cultivated person. In religion she de-

BILLY" Sulzer, the Hon. William
Sulzer, Congressman and patterner
after Henry Clay, seems really to
have thought at one time, if not now,
that he might be made the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor.
Sulzer takes himself very seriously
and tries to make himself the very
impersonatioh of dignity. Perhaps he
had the hardest time of his life in
preserving this pose at Philadelphia
one evening, where he was a guest
at the famous Glover Club dinner. AS
at least a part of the world knows,
it is the chief object of the Glover Club
so to harry and worry the guests,
when they are asked to speak after
the repast, that they cannot make
any Roadway at all.
SulZer, like many a better and many
a worse man before him, had evident
ly decided that no matter who else
had been non-plussed by the interrupt
lions of the Glover Club, he would
not he-he would persevere until he
had made them listen with respect.
But alas for Sulzer! He proved to
be one of the men whose plans, like
those of mice, gang aft aglee. His
plan certainly went aglee that even
ing, though it took the Glover Club a
few half hours to bowl him over. The
one interruption which seemed to an
noy him most-and he really was Wis
IDLY annoyed-was the cry of Self
ger! Seltzerl" and the declaration
that with good whisky from Edin-
borough he would surely make an ex-
cellent Scotch highball."
Suffers nerve sometimes stands
him in better stead than it did that
evening. In fact, it generally sees him
through.
Once, whom in Washington a year
ago, he went to see the Secretary OF
War. That Cabinet Minister, It hap
pened, was very much engaged just
then and had told the doorman to ad-
NIT no one; to refuse even 10 bring
in any ones card. Thds was explain
ed to the present asptrant for Guber-
material honors in New York. He
hooked surprised.
Just tell the Secretary" he said,
