Two or three days ac;o James Gor
don Bennett dropped into the New
York Herald oface from Faris, sat
down at his great white mahogany
desk and went to work as though he
had never been away from New York.
For nearly a third of a century the
master of the Herald whose resi
dence is in Paris has dropped into
his New York office once every two or
three years and sat down at his desk
in instant and familiar touch with
the most minute details of the vast
organization which he directs.
The Herald office was as ready for
him this time as it always has been.
DECLINES TO WEAR A HAT.
New Yorker Courts Aboriginal Styles
in Choosing Attire.
The most eccentric character in all
this region is Floyd Sickmond, or
"Curly," as he is called, a robust man
of past sixty years, whose boast is
that he has not seen a sick day "in
well-nigh onto sixty years." The year
'round he travels about in his shirt
sleeves and without a hat. For many
years he aUo' went barefooted, but of
late, on account of advancing age, he
has' taken to wearing shoes during
extremely cold weather.
"Curly" is an employe of the Clyde
h-tel, and in zero weather, while
others are wrapped in fur.-;, he may be
seen driving through the streets with
out gloves, hat. or coat, apparently un
mindful of the cold. He asserts that
his mode of living is conducive to
health and longevity. He comes of a
frail family, but thwarted fate, he de
clares, by adopting a mode of dress as
nearly aboriginal as the law would
allow. Clyde, N. Y., special.
Cwl Chased by Sea Gulls.
Officials of the Campania, when it
arrived at Queenstown from New York
a few days ago. reported that when
south of Nova Scotia a bird was ob
served Hying toward the ship. It
was followed by a number of sea gulls,
which were endeavoring to catch the
stranger. However, the bird managed
to evade its pursuers and. overtaking
the Campania, fell exhausted on the
deck. On examination it was found
to be a snowy owl measuring thirty
eight and one-half inches from tip to
tip of the wings.
New Form of Advertisement.
Miss Stella Mayhew, an actress, is
enjoying a season of deserved popu
larity at St. Paul. When the company
with which she is playing arrived in
the city the streets were in a filthy
condition. Miss Mayhew advertised
for a force of fifty volunteers to clean
them and at the head of the gang that
responded to her call she gave the
down town thoroughfares a thorough
scouring. Now the entire population
is singing her praises and she is play
ins to crowded houses.
Succeeded by Advertising.
Alfred Miles, a famous tailor of
Bond street, London, died recently,
leaving a fortune of $1,500,000. Mr.
Miles, who was known to many Amer
icans, was fond of relating how he
started business some sixty years ago
with a capital of just $50. A favorite
plan of advertising with him was to
print handbills and persuade cabmen
to leave them ia their vehicles.
Near End of Famous Party.

Washington in pursuit of Booth after
the tragedy.
Queen's Son in Disgrace.
Edgar-Richter, 13 years old and the
son of the queen of the Chippewa In

school.

So with his house in West Twenty
first street, which is prepared all the
year around for a visit. Everything
connected with Mr. Bennett has the
quality of readiness, the exact com
plement of his own unexpectedness;
for when you think that he is going to
do a particular thing that is the thing
he is most likely not to do.
Lord Dufferin said to me in Rome
some years ago: "The flrst time I saw
Mr. Bennett was on an American
prairie. The last time I saw him wa3
in India. And I should not be sur
prised at all to see him walk in the

BEARS ARE TOO PLENTIFUL.
Hungry Animals Frighten Women of
Pennsylvania Village.
Bears have become so numerous and
hungry in this section of the state,
says a dispatch from Lewistown, Pa.,
that recently frequent reports have
been brought to this city of their hav
ing been seen crossing the valley and
swimming the Juniata river to get
from Shade to Stone mountain.
Yesterday a large black bear passed
through Lockport, a mining village
three miles wet of here. The men
were all at work in the mines, and
when Bruin came sniffing about the
j doorstops the women were almost
panic-stricken.
Being very hungry, the bear entered
a yard in the heart of the village,
hilled and partly devoured two half
grown pigs belonging to James H.
Beaver, then ambled along toward
Stone mountain.
S;naor Hale's Mansion.
Among the imposing and beautiful
dwellings of public men in Washing
ton none perhaps excels in beauty of
architecture the dwelling of Senator
Eugene Hale of Maine. The resi
dences of more than a score of great
politicians are among the most mag
nificent in the world and many pro
nounce the Hale mansion the most
pleasing of all. It is of the colonial
style of architecture, fronting 100 feet
on Sixteenth street, with a courtyard
ia the rear. It is so large and impos
ing that visitors frequently mistake it
for a public building.
Old Circus Performer Dead.
Mrs. Marie Pigrum Harrison died in
Brooklyn a few days ago, aged 101.
In her day she was a famous circus
performer and had been the pet of
dukes and duchesses in England. She
was the daughter of a bootmaker to
George III. Tom Thumb was intro
duced to the public under the man
agement of her husband, John W. B.
Harrison. Half a century ago she
was known over a great portion of
this country in connection with cir
cuses. Before the days of railroads
she traveled on horseback in what
wa3 then the west.

They were caught and arrested for the

order to adopt him.
Two Claims to Distinction.
Mayor Feeney of Wobnrn, Mass.,
was the youngest chief magistrate in
any city in the United States when
first elected four years ago. Five
years in the office will rob him of that
distinction, but he has won another

Buddhist Literature.
Prof. C. R. Lannan of Harvard has
undoubtedly the finest library of Bud

ENGLAND AMAZES RED MAN.
Returning Indian Tells of Ignorance
Existing Abroad.
An Indian stopped in Philadelphia
on his way to Omaha. He had been to
London, participating in a wild west
melodrama thero, and it was amusing
to hear him describe the ignorance re
garding his race that exists abroad.
"An Englishman," he said, "thinks
that a red man can run from 200 to
225 miles a day without effort. He
thinks an Apache can overtake a deer.
In fact, I read in Ixmdon a short story
describing how, in a fifteen-mile run.
an Apache caught a deer, choked it to
death, and ate its heart raw.
"The English believe that an Indian
is so generous he would give away the
clothes on his back. I was accosted
by hosts of beggars in London, and
they couldn't understand why I didn't
hand out a half-crown to each of them.
They also think an Indian will endure
the severest pain without flinching,
out of pride. A young English girl
stuck a pin in my leg at a restaurant
one night, and was surprised when I
said Ouch' and swore."
GOOD JOKE ON GOLFERS.
Girls Have Fun with Members of
Aristocratic Club.
N. B. Coles and Daniel Bacon, two
enthusiastic members of the new and
aristocratic Country club of Lake
wood, N. J.. had a match game of
golf for $1,000 a side recently. Each
had a good record on the links, but
neither was able to cover the ground
in anything like good time, both ex
periencing great difficulty at two of
the halves. Just as the match was
concluded they discovered that a to
mato can had been fitted neatly into
one of the holes and that a row of
pins had been stuck in the hard
ground around the other. These ob
structions had disastrous effect on
the work of the players. It was dis
covered that some girl members of
the club were guilty of playing this
joke, and formal complaint has been
lodged with George J. Gould, presi
f the. rlnb. The foozlers are de-

and that the wedding will speedily
follow. Miss Whelen is a noted

Statistics of Street Railway.
The yearly report of American street
railways read like the budget of an
empire. Last year, for instance, they
carried three times as many people as
there are in the whole world. They
ran their cars eleven times the dis
tance from the earth to the sun.
Their capital is more than twice as
great as the bonded national debt of
the United States. Their gross earn
ings were $250,000,000. They paid over
$13,000,000 in taxes. Their army of
employes is larger than the whole
United States army, including the sol
diers now in the Philippines.
The terrible side of the street car
business is shown by the fact that
1,218 people were killed and 47,249
were Injured last year a casualty list
that makes some wars look harmless
and humane In comparison.
Pension for Garibaldi Family.
The Italian government has present

RECONCILED IN A HOSPITAL.
Old-Time Animosities Forgotten In
Presence of Misfortune.
In the early days of North Dakota
Senator Jud La Moure; and Alexander
McKenzie, the latter famous as the
most daring sheriff in Bismarck, wire
bitter personal and political enemies.
Whatever one wanted done was sure
to be opposed by the other, and they
carried their onrnity to each other to
great and sometimes ridiculous ex
tremes firr men as level headed as
they were in ordinary matters. Each
had a host of friends and these were
arrayed in hostile camps, political, fh
cial and business. The two men have
become reconciled, however. Some
time ago McKenzie got into trouble
in Alaska, and narrowly escaped a
prison sentence for contempt of a
local judge, from whose jurisdiction
the Bismarckian removed a prisoner.
After a hard light McKenzie wan re
leased and returned east, broken in
health. For months ho has been ly
ing in a St. Paul hospital, hovering
between life and death and deserted
by a majority of his former friends.
Here his old enemy, La Moure, found
him ami at once took up his .station at
the bedside of the stricken man, min
istering to his every want with the
solicitude of a mother. Mainly owing
to La Moure's careful nursing McKen
zie is recovering his health and ex
pects to leave the hospital in a week
or two, when his old-time adversary
will escort him to Bismarck. It Is
safe to say that the friendship thus
established will never be broken. Mc
Jen?ie a few years ago was a perfect
specimen of physical manhood, stand
ing C feet 4 inches and being built in
proportion.
POPE PIUS IS AGING.
Pontiff Beginning to Feel Weight of
His Responsibilities.
A traveler who has Just returned
from Home was greatly impressed
with the change in the appearance of
the Pope. He was received by him
the day after his accession to the pon
tifical throne, when he was ruddy,
erect, gay and full of life. On this last
occasion, however, he found him a lit
tle paler, a little more bowed, a lit'le
more subdued and le.-s buoyant; in
fact, a slight but
recptible chan

than four months and is due lo the dif
ference in habits and work and the
confinement. The Pope goes in the
open air less and less, l.i the begin
ning he took walks i:i ihe garden and
regular exercise:;, but as his cares and
duties increased he went le.j.s and h-ss
until he ceased al;o.g t.u r, confining
his walks to the log-'ia overlooking
Rome and even here he now sejiioin
goes.
'UNCLE JOE" AND THE SENATE.
Speaker of the House Has Little Love
for That Body.
Speaker Cannon's predecessors were
accustomed to bow to the secretary
of the Senate when he appeared in
the house with a communication from
that august body. Dut "Uncle Joe's"
backbone becomes rtiff as a ramrod
cn such occasions. "Cow to the sec
retary?" he snorts. "Why, I wouldn't
bow to the whole senate." A
few days ago he ordered one of the
officials of the house strictly to en
force the standing rule against smok
ing. That same afternoon, as soon
as the house adjourned, he took a
cigar from his pocket and began to
puff contentedly. The official ap
proached and said: "Do you want the
anti-smoking rule enforced, Mr. Can
non." "Of course I do," said the
speaker. "Oh, I forgot," he continued
and hurried into his private room.
Preacher Once a Cowboy.
Rev. Clyde W. Croomell of the
Stvedenborgian church. West Utica

fcr years was a cowboy in the Bear
river cattle country of Colorado. At
one time he was foreman of a big
I ranch. Mr. Bromell went west on ac
count of his health, having regained
which he entered a theological semin

the Buffalo pastorate not long ago.

Society took a hara' -toristic part la
the ;ew York election; that is to say,
it didn't register or vote, but it assem
bled at its various clubs uptown and

Knicxerbcc'kcr and Metropolitan clubs

crept in against a Tammany Kr.Ioon
keeper who opposed him for alderman.
