Mrs. HenrOtin Declares Manners
Have Deteriorated I'm SO Years.

Chicago Correspondence in Philadelphia Ledger.
Manners of the American man have
deteriorated distressingly in the last
fifty years, according to, Mrs. Charles
Henrotin, who spoke before the Chi
cago High School Teachers Club. The
men of today are in no way equal in
matters of courtliness and charm to
the men with, whom her father and
mother associated, Mrs. Henrotin said:
The men of my mothers acQuaint-
ance were wonderfully well read. They
had also a leisurely bearing and a
charming good breeding that now
seems to have passed out Of existence.
Lincoln was the type that in my
fathers time we meant by gentleman
"A mental Va ttitude of kindness to-
ward every one We meet is a charac-
teristic of good breeding, but to show
how far that has fallen out of usage

al the next man you meet. I've tried

with a startled expression.
Civilization, instead of increa sing

one would think it would, has severed
them. Every one is in too much Of

New York, May 3.-Although he lived

The story of Dudley Jardine's strange
life on the East Side oNNew York. his
shrewd investments, his one romance,
and its sad ending, was revealed only
when his will was filed for probate.
And even the finding of that document
was due entirely to chance.
A victim Of Bright's disease APP
peared at Gouverneur Hospital one day
in January, gave his name as William
Smith," described his home vaguely as
a Bowery hotel, and asked for treat
ment. On February he died. His body
was sent to the morgue, its last halt
ing place on the way to a grave in
potter's field.

But Smith" had had one acquaint-
ance who was interested enough in him

while he was sick. and he came again
on the very day that Smith" died, and
made his usual inquiries.
This was Peter Schenard, an old East
Side bookworm and librarian, who had
made Smiths" acquaintance at the
Squirrel Inn, a reading room at 131
Bowery, where the two old men,
smith was nearly seventy-six years
of ACCUSED to go and read old musty
books and talk about them.
He's dead" the hospital people told
Schenard when he asked for Smith"
l.; ha
If you know anything about him you
had better hurry up"
Now Schenard had always believed
that smith" was better off than he
pretended to be, and that he was well
connected; that he was educated he
knew. Of course, from Smiths" love
OF books. So he went to Undertaken
James J. Fallon, of 36S West Fiji
teenth Street, and told him about the
case and suggested that Fallon claim
the body and try to find If Smith"
really had any relatives. Fallon agreed
and the two went to the Germania Ho-

lived, and looked up his papers.

For more than thirty years-ever
since his fathers death in 1SS1-Dud-

relatives and had seen them only on
rare occasions, those occasions being
mostly funerals as his brothers and
other members of the family died. He
was not exactly estranged from them,
for he was apparently well disposed
toward them when he did see them,
but he simply preferred to live alone
and to live alone on the Bowery.

as that of his uncle. In the meantime
