resent the general public, if any persons do.
Whenever they think it is being trampled
on or if they catch sight of. in their judg-
ment a band of wool being slid quietly over
its eyes, they write about it. This assump-
ton of popular representation draws much
sarcastic comment from public men who
from time to time are asSailed in news de-
spatches; but irony and sarcasm have not
thus far diSSuaded the average Washington
correspondent from believing that he is the
peoples representative.
A notable example of public man who
decries the press galleries is found in Senator
Hepburn of Idaho. He has referred to the
newspaper corps as "jokesmithS," as persons
who desire first to be witty and then to be
useful; but he is one of few who have ven
tured so bluntly to state such views.
A newspaper man with question affect
ing the public interest approaches the most
distinguished Senator or Cabinet officer with
as little hesitation as he would his next
friend. He considers that one of the re-
sponsibilities, or penalties, of holding public
all proper occasions. This dispenses with
any views the public man may hold of his
own responsibilities in the matter. Few re-
buff the correspondents, although there are
several who are never questioned about pub
lie events except by representatives of GER
tain newspapers that make business of de-
Tending them. Any Washington newspaper
man hesitateS not at all to interview the
President, Speaker Cannon, Vice President
Sherman, Senator Lodge, Senator Cummins
Representative Underwood, and many other
of their type if he considers such an inter-
view necessary. Few correspondents inter
view Representative Payne of New York,
Senator Hepburn, Senator Hale, or Repre-
sentative Da1Ze11 mention the most nrOnoi-
nent public men as illustrations; but there
reseveral unimportant members of Congress
who are not visited because their views are
considered of no value Mr. Dalzell is cour-
teous enough; but he belongs to a small Of
fetal class which is catalogued in the mental
books of Washington as ''Impumpable."
There seems to be no handle by which to
work desired information out of Mr.. Dalzell:
but, unlike Mr.. Payne and Senator Hey
burn. his personality is popular in the press
gallery.

A Story of Stevenson,

After one of Dumas plays which he
saw presented in Paris and in which a
mar employs an unworthy stratagem
against a woman Robert Louis Steven
son wrote:
81 came forth from that performance
In a breathing heat of indignation. On
the way down the Francois stairs I
trod on an old gentleman's toes, where
upon, with that suavity which so we'll
becomes me, I turned about to apollo
gize and on the instant, repenting me
of that intention, stopped the apology
midway and added something in
French to this effect: NO. You are
one of the persons who have been ap-
plauding that piece. l retract my apol-
ogy.'
"Said the old Frenchman, laying his
hand on my arm and with a smile that
was truly heavenly in temperance,
irony, good nature and knowledge of
the world, 'Ah. monsieur, vous etes
bfen jeune' (Ah, sir, you are very
young)."

Sickness and Superstition.

For the cure of epilepsy. or the fall
ing sickness, numerous were the
charms that were invoked long ago.
A very m remedy among the
poor people about London and partic-
ularly in Essex was to cut the tip Of
a black cats tail in order to procure
three drops Of blood, which were to be
taken in a spoonful of milk and re-
peated three days successfully. II the
patient was informed Of the compost
ton it lost its efficacy. The patients
also were to creep head foremost
down some three pairs of stairs three
times a day for three successive days.

QUOTATIONS ON STOP ORDERS.
Consolidated Stock Exchange Adopts
Rule to Make Trading Safer.

The governors of the Consolidated STOCK
Exchange, who some time ago put into
effect reform rules similar 10 those Just
adoDted by TIE New York Stock Exchange,
took another step yesterday in the direc-
ton of making trading safer for the gen
eraI public by adopting resolution re
curing the quotation, and designation as
such. of all transactions executed on stop
orders In the future the Consolidated
Exchange tickers Will print a record Of all
transactions resulting from stop-loss or
ders. and they viii be so designated on
the tape.
This rule will act as a further curb on
the specialists. who have already been
prohibited from taking trades on their
own account on any pretext whatever
These men handle most of the stop-loss
orders and it is reported 10 have been the
habit Of some of them, when they knew
that the market was honeycombed with
such orders, to tip of the bears. who
would start n selling movement, and in
the slump that followed many Of these
stop orders would be reached and the
bears would reap good profit, part of
which might go TO reward the specialists
for the tip.
