HEARD AT HOTELS.


Mr.. Guy " Mallon, son OF Judge Mallon,
long since dead. but for years a noted
jurist Of Cincinnati. was at the New WI
lard yesterday. The former Inherited the
urbanity and amiable qualities Of his
sire, and has succeeded finely in the
practice OF the law. He is president Of
the board Of trustees Of the Ohio state
University. the only Office that President
Mckinley once said he craved 10 hold
when ne should have finished his career
In the White House
Mr.. Mallon was telling some friends Of
funny experience he had Recently down
in Arkansas It seems he had negotiated
a deal for a large amount OF land that
called for the payment Of $4,000. The
man 10 whom the money was 10 be paid
stipulated that he was 10 get Il alto
gether in cash; he had prejudice against
checks-probably because OF his Inability
10 deeipher them. At any rate. MalIon.
accompanied by a friend journeyed all
the way from Cincinnati 10 Arkansas
With nearly 10000 in currency firmly
secured in belts that they wore next their
sklns. In the meantime, the local bank
and express company having heard Of
the transaction, supposed that the money
would De sent on. and each employed
extra guards for fear OF an attempt al

not the slightest suspicion was arouse5
that they carried such sum on rboir
persons They did not lose much time
sending for their man, and spent the bet-
ter part Of a day counting out his cash
A distinguished citizen Of the Buckeve
State, Hon. Horace L. Chapman. Of Co
iumbus, was at the New Willard vester-
day with his wife and daughter. en- roufa
to Florida. Mr.. Chapman ran as 1be
Democratic nominee for governor in 1897,
but was defeated by Gov. Bushnell by n
600 votes. Since that time he has not fe-
ured much in politics. but in 1900 was q

In coal mining He is q man about sixty
seven years Of age, but well preserved.
and has long been known as the man
with the iron voice, because Of its ex-
traOrdinary carrying capacity.
I'm 1900" said Mr. Chapman. while Mr..
Bryan was my guest at a hotel In CoIum-
bus begged him not to insist on the re-
affirmation of the 16-to-1 plank in the
coming convention. Nothing that I could
say had the slightest effect upon him, and
our campaign resulted in the disaster I
predicted II is said that some friends Of
MI Bryan, Democrats Of national repute.
pleaded with him not 10 advocate gov
. ernment ownership in his Madison Square
Garden speech, but they appear 10 have
mad the same rack Of success that I had
six years ago"
Yes, I pulled through, but It was a
narrow squeeze" said Representative
A. l. Brick. the busy and hard-working
Representative from the Thirteenth IN
diana district, at the NOrmandie Mr..
Brick would not ordinarily have left his
pleasant home in South Bend, Just on the
eve Of Thanksgiving. but he is chairman
Of the subcommittee that has to prepare
the legislative appropriation bill for the
coming Congress. and he VIII be hard at
work night and day in that engrossing
task for the rest Of the week
The narrow escape the Indiana Con
gresham had was at the hands of the
voters. his plurality being only 200 votes,
but In this respect ne had the same ex-
perience that befeH several other mem
bers of the delegation. It seems that IN
his State the name Of the Congressman
goes on the county ticket and in some
Of the counties OF his district there was
great disaneCtiOn among the Republicans
over local issues. In this way he lost q
lot Of votes that. had he been running
separately, or on the State ticket would
have been in his favor.
Il do not know" said Mr.. Brick.
whether there viii be an extra session
to consider the tariff revision OF not but
I am clearly Of the opinion there should
be. There is a great deal Of unrest in
the country, and it does not seem posi-
bic that we can keep going on this way
Indefinitely. All over the country the
sentiment for revision seems growing.
