WAHP|| Pc COMMENT
GLoRE-GAZETTE PAYS COL. LIT
TIE NEAT COMPLIMENT ON
HIS LEGISLATIVE CAREER.


In commenting upon Col Little's
candidacy for United States senator
the Globe-Gazette at Wahpeton,
among number of other compliment
tary things, has this to say of the
colonel: ss.8
He thoroughly understands all the
ms and outs Of legislation. He has
been chairman of the senate commit
tee on judiciary since statehood, hav-
ing been member of the senate since
that time. The statute is filled with
laws enacted under Col. LittIe's legis-
lative mark of approval But very
few laws of this state have been de-
clared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court, which shows that the
Judiciary committees of the 1egisla-
ture have been extremely careful
about sending questionable bills to the
executive department. He is
looked upon as Senator Hansbrough' S
strongest opponent" ~

ORIGINAL GOTHAM.
The Scheme by Which les Inhabitants
Fooled King John.

The Scheme by Which It's inhabitants
Fooled King John.
:, This name Gotham, was first applied
to the city of Manhattan in book Of
humorous sketches called ssSalmagun-
d." written about 1867 by Washington
Irving in collaboration with his broth
er Peter and the poet Paulding. AZ
It was evidently intended to suggest
that the people Of New York made un-
due pretensions to wisdom, and that
there were both satire and wit In the
suggestion is shown by the story Of
the original Gothamites. Gotham was
parish in Nottinghamshire, England.
The old story tells how King John
wished to pass through the parish, but
the people there, fancying that the
passage of the king over route made
1t public road, decided to prevent the
transit by all pretending to be crazy
Therefore when the king and his party
arrived they found every one Of the
Inhabitants employed in some peculiar
" foolish task. Thus a group were
Joining hands around a thorn bush to
keep a cuckoo from getting away, some
were trying to drown an eel, others
dipping water with a sieve, and SO on.
When the king saw these perform
ances, he swore at the people for a
pack OF idiots ana, turning, departed
with all his retinue, says the House
keeper The Gothamites were delight
ed with the success Of their scheme for
turning aside the king, regarding It as
snperlatively clever.
After this Gotham came to have the
reputation of being sort of headqnar-
tiers for conceited fools. In the time OF
Henry VIII. a book entitled saThe Mer-
~ Tales OF the Mad Men Of Gotham
was published. Among these was the
story Of the "Three Wise Men OF
Gotham" one of whose exploits was b
go, to sea in bowl.

WI lam E. CURTIS.

: IL
William b. Curtis, the famous
correspondent Of the Chicago Rec
ord Herald, writes a two column
letter for his paper every day in:
the year without intermission.
His powers Of sustained work are
as great marvel as his faculty
of always making his matter inter
#esting.
Probably no other new spaper cor.
respondent in the country is read
SO regularly and eagerly by so
many thousands Of men and wo-
men as Mr.. Curtis. Mr.. Curtis has
travelled several times around the
world. visiting every country under
the sun, and writing a larger num-
Der of brilliant and interesting LETT
tiers Of travel than ever before pro-
duced by a single hand. Many Of
these have later been reprinted in
book form. One of his latest ex-
petitions for the Record Herald
was through Mexico, resulting in
a series of letters as entertaining
as those he wrote a few years ago
from India, Turkey and the Holy
Land. His Forthcoming letters:
from ireland, Russia and Germany
will rival in Importance and inter
est any Of his previous contribu-.

Beginning his career in Chicago.
Las a reporter in 1872, Mr.. Curtis
rapidly rose to he managing editor
He resigned that position to accept
a government appointment as sec
rotary Of the South American cons,
mission. So brilliantly did he per-
form the duties of this Office that
James G.. Blaine, secretary Of state,
placed him at the head Of the bu-
reau of American republics. At the
worlds fair in Chicago he disting-
uished himself as the executive
I! head of the Latin American depart
ment. He is member Of almost
every learned society in Washing
ton and many of Europe. It is not
strange that the Record Herald
prints Mr.. Curtis letter every day
in the first column of the front
page, and that nothing but a Cali
fornia earthquake can dispIace It
from that station Of honor.

Mr.. Vanderbilt gave clear answers to

he had attended with his former wife

DO you believe in the transfer of
thought from one spirit to another?"
81 do. 1t is on the principle of the

off by one soul which are received
by another if it be in harmony with the
first"
