To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir. As a moro or less regular reader
and adnirer of The Tribune for about
forty wears 7 take the liberty OF writing TO
YOU In a spirit Of criticism In regard to the
several rather lengthy articles which have
recently appeared in YOUR paper describing
tho antics and expressions Of a very vulgar
and wholly unintcrcsting. II not disagree
able, young fellow. who it seems got into
the limelight by the very ancient and so 70
sneak. notorious device of spending money
in such ridiculous and lavish manner as
to rob his exploits OF any semblance or
merit. and apparently succeeded In getting
as much attention from reporters" az II
he had done something TO entitle him to a
place on the front page OF one ot our most
highly respected journals. instead of hav-
ing made a most disgusting exhibition OF
reckless and meaningless oXtrayagance.
am aware Of the fact that when news
napers are criticised for printing such
items In a conspicuous place We arc told
that the "publlc demands all tho news.
ctc.. but I submit that the case ot young
NIcDeyItt did not come under the head OF
news" and that tho space devoted TO his
arrairs by Tho Tribune was worse than
wasted and the attention shown the fellow
was calculated to impress him with an
altogether erroneous idea that he was in
some sort of way n hero.
