ISHMAEL OF THE GUTTER.
london Coster Declared to Be Last
Remnant of Worlds Old Race
of Wanderers.

London's outdoor man is the coster
according tn Outing. He is the Ish-
nael of our cutters. very jolly Ish-
mael. 1t is true, who is more than con-
bent to acknowledge the line of de-
marcation between himself and the
true cockney. But, nevertheless, in a
modified. twentieth century way, he is
Stih the wild man whose hand is
against every mans and every mans
against his. He is probably the last
remnant of the worlds old race of wan
nerers-the last suggestion of the
primitive man-left to the cities. He
Is to us town jewellers what the gypsy
Is to the countryside. His descent
seems to spring from the same rowing
stock. And he is regarded, from safe
distance, with the same contempt by
those who don't know him. His habits
and his impulses still SAVIOR strongly
Of the days when tribe warred against
tribe, and every mans arm was for
himself and his clan. And although
his pitch is below the curb, his caravan
barrow, and his beast of burden a
Russian pony, a donkey, or himself,
he is as free and as exclusive as any
other lusty scion of the people who live
under the skies. Ishmael he is, and
Ishmael he chooses to remain. And the
chances are ten to one that whoever
goes a-ashing for information among
the barrows will come back with an
empty creel or fine show of fisher
mans tales. For your coster knows
both how to keep silence and how to
use his tongue picturesquely in defense
of his jealously guarded traditions and
the internal economies of his existence.

NOT MEANT FOR DIVER.
Nature Seemingly Had Neglected to
Fit Young Scotchman for Pro-
fession He Desired.

Not all men are fitted for all things
The fact that an individual shines il
one profession is no proof that he
may adopt any career with equal sue
cess. Rob, whose adventures are re-
corded in Mr.. Whitmarsh's' "The
Worlds Rough Hand" was a good
fellow, and doubtless played his part
in the world with credit to himself
but he was not born to be a diver
as his experiences show. One of the
greatest dangers in diving is that OF
panic.
The quality diver needs more thar
any other is presence of mind. A
young Scotchman, six feet tall, by
the name of Rob, applied to me fo1
a position as diver. He had a sweet.
heart at home, and tempted by the
high wages, was anxious to learn the
business. One time, when work was
slack, let him go down.
| told him infinitely how to manage
screwed on his face glass and sent
him under. l felt him land on the
bottom and signal that all was right
Then he walked away from the boat
paying out most of the line. After a
little he stopped. l imagined him
resting, and thought he was doing re-
markably well.
All at once noticed a dark blad.
der-like object floating at some dis.
lance from the boat. AT first /
thought it was a turtle. Sometime
made me look at it more carefully
and then | began to haul the line in
The turtle" was Rob. AS he drew
nearer we could hear him screaming
his loudest inside the swollen dress.
/ got him alongside, unscrewed the
escape-valve, and hauled him on deck
All the time he was crying: Let
me out!"
When Rob came to his senses, we
learned that he had become fright
ened lest his dress should burst, and
had screwed the escape-valve the
wrong way, keeping in the air instead
of letting 1t escape. He lost his pres
ence Of mind altogether, and fell
down. The confined air accumulated
in the bullxiest part of the dress and
doated him.
The second attempt Rob made as
diver nearly cost him his life. He
made the very same mistake with the
valve. Then, crazed by fear, he be-
gan to unscrew his face glass. For
tunately for his sweetheart. he lost
consciousness before he got it off. He
was delirious for some hours after
we had hauled him up. We decided
he was not fit for diver, and that
his road to fortune lay in some other
direction--Youth's Companion.

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, was

when be was captain and played right

club OF Washington. His activity and
energy as an athlete attracted the at

Fifth Maryland district. The young
fellow hesitated, feeling reluctant to
abandon his favorite pastims just then,

hold the place for him until the sea-

ity as baseball player won him his

Calls For a Showdown In
Tammany
FOR OPEN CONVENTION
Hearst Not an Issue, He Says, but In
huenees Behind Him--Says Murphy's
in the Air--Declares That Real
Leaders Are Needed.

New York, Aug. "a. District Attor-
ney Jerome yesterday fired hot shot into
the Murphy Hearst -odell camps and
spoke with his characteristic pointedness
about them ALI He intimated that if
Hearst should get the Democratic nomi-
nation at the coming State convention,
he (Jerome) might run on an independ-
ent ticket on practically the same plat
form on which he ran hast fall, when he
was victorious in his fight against all
the bosses.
Mr. Jerome waxed eloquent over the
possibilities OF the fan campaign and
seemed to believe that ii all the delegates
We're honestly seated in the Democratic
convention his chances for getting the
nomination would b. good. He said that
he had received more Endorsements since
he had come out and declared his will
ingness TO enter the fight than he re
ceiyed last fall during the first few days
after he had declared his intention at
that time Of running as an independent
candidate for the office of District At
torney.
sWill you say who have given you
these Endorsements Mr.. Jerome was
asked.
mo, don't feel at liberty now to To-
cate the individuals who have already
Endorsed me- said Mr. Jerome.
Should the Democratic convention
not nominate you would YOU come out
as an independent candidateg MIR.
Jerome was asked.
What good are conventions without
votesW Mr., Jerome replied. That isn't
the problem this time, is itfn
"The inference from that would be,
Judge, that il you were not nominated
by the convention you may run indie
pendentlyp
"You can draw any inference YOU
| like" said Mr. Jerome. II do not say so
and | don't consider that ! am bound
by any differences. A convention should
express the viii Of the people and not
the will of the bosses" Mr.. jerome
added
III Hearst is nominated by the Demo
cratic convention win you support him 7"
some one venteured to ask Mr.. Jerome.
whats the use Of talking about the
impossibleg We will never have to face
that situation" said Mr.. Jerome, very
positively. LETS talk about something
practical. The Democratic party has
had TO swallow some bitter draughts in
the past, but II will never stand for that
kind Of medicine.
Not Hearst, But His Crowd.
Mr.. Jerome went ON to speak Of Mr.,
Hearst in another light.
"The is no question OF the person
Hearst in this natter said Mr.. Jerome.
'The question is of the group about
Hearst. Hearst the man is man Of
no ideas and Of no importance. He Is
like Murphy Murphy's brains are in
Europe. How can you expect Murphy
TO talk until Mr.. Cram gets backY
The question about Hearst resolves
itself into the persoas who are about
him, whose ideas, working on the added
brain Of Czolgosz, armed his hand to
slay President, and working along
those lines Il reflected in the conduct Of
