Abandoned His FaVorite Hotel In Al
bany Because, Though Ostensibly
Temperance House, 1t Sold
Liquors on the Sly.

Horace Greeley was a man who
hated hypocrisy.
For some time Greeley's favorite
hotel at Albany, N. Y, when he called
there on political errands as a mem
Der of the famous political firm of
Seward, Weed and Greeley, was the
Delavan house. Suddenly, one day,
he changed his headquarters to the
Stanwix hotel Said the proprietor of
that hotel at time when Greeley was
his guest
you observe that the great Hor-
ace is patron of my hostelry? Well,
| got him as guest in this way: The
Delavan house was started as a tenn
perance house. But Greeley, during
one of his visits there, discovered that
no guest need go thirsty, provided he
could make the right signal to the
proprietor.
"One day Greeley came in here and
asked me If ! was the proprietor of
this hotel, and when l told him
was. he asked DO you keep whisky?'
Ives. have very good whisky I
replied.
Do you also keep brandy?'
Yes, / have a very choice stock
of brandy
Well, do you keep champagne? p
Eyes, l have champagne, l re-
piled.
Well said Mr.. Greeley, and there
was an unusual twang in his voice, ]
don't want any of these things my
self, but l have made up my mind
would rather stay with a hotel pro-
prietor who is honest enough to say
that he keeps liquors than to stay
with one who pretends to be a tenn
perance man and who sells strong
drink on the sly"
Greeley was a great lover of the
opera. In 1854 Grisi, in her day the
most famous of operate sopranos, and
her husband, Mario, who probably was
the greatest tenor that ever sang in
Italiana opera, made a tour of the
United States. They appeared first in
New York at the original Academy of
Music, but prior to their debut they
were told that it was of the utmost
importance to the success of their
American tour that they secure, If
possible, favorable criticism of their
debut in the columns of the New
York Tribune. AS a preliminary to
that end the representatives of the
great singers saw to it that a seat
for the performance was assigned to
Mr.. Greeley in one Of the stage boxes.

Greeley Halter of Hypocrisy

Greeley had been III the box but a
few moments when. apparently, he
fell sound asleep-to the great dis
tress Of both Grisi and Mario, whose
singing, so far as they could see, made
not the slightest impression upon the
senses of the Tribunes editor. And
it was noticed that not even the ap-
plause which followed Crisis first
song, nor subsequent outbursts, served
to arouse him from his somnolent at
titude.
BY the time the opera was over
poor Grisi and Mario were almost be
side themselves with disappointment
and despair-they had failed to make
an impression upon the great Horace
Greeley--there would be no favorable
word of their initial appearance in the
Tribune, the fount of praise most
sought for by operate singers of the
time. Yet what was their great de-
light when, upon picking up the Tri-
bune in the morning, they saw there
in a glowing criticism of their per-
Torrance, and what was more, a most
favorable editorial comment thereon,
containing a graceful word Of con
graduation for the great singers.
They wondered, of course, how the
editor of the Tribune could have writ.
ten anything at all about them since
he slept at the opera. They were not
acquainted with one of Greeley's pc
culiar characteristics. In the horse
cars, in hotel Hobbies, in church, he
dozed soupdly, apparently, yet his
friends always noted that nothing es-
capped him. The better to listen or to
think, it was a habit with him to
close his eyes as if in Sunderland
in horse car, for example, this habit
never caused him to be carried be
yond his destination.

David 3. Hill Tried to Induce Him to
Run for Governor of New York
in 1902 in Opposition to
Odell.

Some time In August, 1902, David
B. Hill invited three or four men Of
the Democratic party who were re-
garded as leaders in New York state
to visit in Albany at his home, VOL
fert's Roost. The very fact that these
friends had been summoned to his
house rather than to his Office was
sufficient indication that Hill purposed
talking politics with them.
Among Senator Hills callers was
Alton B. Parker, chief justice of the
court of appeals of New York state,
and at an opporture moment Mr.. Hill
began to explain the reasons he had
called the conference.
IF I am any Judge of political con-
ditions in this state" he began, Il am
warranted in saying to you that it
looks to me as though the Democratic
party this year might elect its candi-
date for governor and its whole state
commended by the Republicans. have
good reason for knowing that Odell
is not at all confident that he can
be- reelected. AS politician, Odell
has one qualification which commands
my respect. He is always anxious TO
know the exact facts. He doesn't
want any district leader or organiza-
ton man to bring him flattering re-
ports. His organization all under
stands that, l presume the members
of it have told him that the outlook
for his party is very squally. Now
think we have an opportunity to
win, and if we are going to accept
it we must nominate our strongest
candidate for governor"
Having so expressed himself, Mr..
Hill looked at Judge Parker, silently,
penetratingly, FOR a moment, and then
continued Judge; in my opinion you
are the man to be nominated for gov
ernor by the democracy. l will tell
you why. / am certain that you will
poll more than the party's strength
in the lower part of the state. am
also certain that you will poll an up
state vote larger than could be Sc
cured by any other Democratic can
didate. With any other candidate
than you we shall have greater diff
Guilty in defeating Odell."
Judge Parker's answer was that

A magazine editor at the Authors
club in New York, was talking about
H. G. Wells.
Wells is now the foremost English
novelist" he said. Strange that a
man so talented should misjudge us as
he does When he was over here
you know, he found fault with every
thing.
"One day at lunch, getting tired Of
mis- attacks on the tyranny of our
trusts ard our bosses, said with q
sneer:
Well, at least, Mr.. Wells, you must
admit the grandeur of the magnificen,
Statue of Liberty that rears It's proud
head above our harbor?'
oh, yes said Mr.. Wells. You
have the same custom as we-you rear
your finest statues to the dead"

How Morrison r. Waite, Without
Money in Railway Ticket Office.
Was courteously Relieved Of
Embarrassment by Agent.

One evening in the early autumn
of 1888 | went to the old Baltimore
& Ohio railroad station in Washing
ton to take a night train for New
York. When the ticket window was
thrown open / fell in line behind a
man of broad girth and shoulders
whom did not recognize until he had
reached the window in his turn and
asked for a ticket to New York. He
was the chief justice of the United
States, Morrison R. Waite, appointed
by President Grant to the bench In
1874 to succeed Salmon P. Chase, and
destined to be the courts head until
his death in 1883.
The ticket agent, in reply to the
chief Justices request, passed out a

The Impossible.

Andrew Carnegie, at a recent din

labor trouble.
1T is silly of employers to pretend
in these troubles that they are always

They often-like Mrs. Smith-Jones
ask impossible things:
Mrs. Smith-Jones, taking a villa
at Palm Beach, engaged for butler a
stately old colored deacon.
Now, Clay she said to the old
fellow, there are two things l must
insist upon-truthfulness and obedi-
ence.

Now" continued Mr., HILL. after
moments pause, Il don't want you to
give me a definite answer today.
Think of what have said over night,
and let me know your decision tomor-
row morning"
The next morning Judge Parker In
formed Governor Hill that he was
still OF the opinion he had held the
day before.

but one thing to do, and that is to
nominate Bird S. Coler."
And several weeks later, on election
night. Governor Hill was more than
ever of the belief that had Judge
Parker been his party's candidate for
governor. he would have been elected.
for Coler was defeated by Oden by
only eight thousand plurality.
Two years later, when Judge Parker
was nominated for the presidency by
the Democracy, he was reminded of
the chat, here made public for the
first time which he had with Governor
Hill, and his reply was that the nom
nation for president had come to him
without his having raised his hand
to secure it. and that he was of the
opinion of one of the statesmen of
an earlier day, that the presidency
should neither be sought nor declined.

''My twenty-five years Of experience

President Makes Plea for More Reasonable Treatment
of Railroads and Trusts; Yet He Serves Notice Big
Business Interests Must be Brought Within Law.

Waterloo. Sept. 29.-President Taft
in an address here late yesterday af-
ternoon by him as the most
important of his utterances up to date
made strong appeal for more rea-
sonable treatment of the railroads and
other industrial interests of the coun-
try and made protest against "blind
sectional prejudice" He denounced
those politicians who seek to advance
their own interests by arraying the
people of one section against those Ct
another.
1T is time to halt" said the presi-
dent I'VE are all in the same boat, all
tossed by the same waves. The pros
perity OF one section is dependent up
on the prosperity of the other"
Guilty Must Suffer.
President Taft announced that the
trust prosecutions begun by the de-
partment of justice at Washington
would continue despite the recent crit
icfsm that business was being made to
suffer. He served notice that the "big
business interests" Of the country
must be brought within the law just
as tie railroads have been, and de-
clined to admit that there exists any
discretion which would enable the at
torney general to stay the hand of the
government in dealing with combfna-
tions in restraint of trade.
Railroad Legislation.
4 The president at the outset named
the four most important points at
which the policies Of congress and the
executive touched the business Of the
country in such a vital manner that
"the people are entitled to exert the
greatest care, industry and application
in respect to them" These he enumer-
ated as follows: They are, first. in re-
spect Of interstate commerce and the
regulation of railroads and the rates of
transportation between the states;
second, in the enforcement Of the laws
forbfdding combinations to monopo-
lie Interstate trade in industrial
companies; third, in the amendment
of tariff legislation affecting chiefly
the manufactures Of the country; and
fourth, in the furnishing for the use
of the business of the country prop
er banking and currency system which
shall automatically give an elastic
currency. expanding and contracting
according to the business methods,
and inspiring confidence in the busi-
ness community which shall prevent

eliminating rates, we have progressed
far toward satisfactory solution.
