Br.i' . ] .Too Jefferson is drawing crowded
houses this weak In "Tho KlvnLs , " and ho Is
as popular today as when ho first made his
nnucumnco on the American stage In n Wash
ington theater. This was when Jackson was
president and llttlo Joe Jefferson , a boy of
four , was carried to the stage in a bag by the
famous minstrel Hire , who \v . making a lilt
by dancing Jim Crow. Hlco cnmo on the
stage and turning the bag upside down tum
bled llttlo Joe JclTorson out , and then began
to dance. The boy was dressed justllko
Hlce , his face was blackened and the two
sang verso apart as they danced. As they
llnNheil the song the audience was so de
lighted that they throw dollars and half dollars
lars on the ntago and llttlo Jefferson received
$31 for that night's acting. Ho now receives ,
no ono but his malinger knows how much ,
mid ho Is as welt ott as any actor on the
American stage. Ho is said to bo worth n
mlll'on ' , and ha has a sugar plantation In
Louisiana , n beautiful country homo in Now
.Tet.soy , n quaint seaside cottage on Capo Cod ,
and bonds and stocks mid gold galoro. Since
ho dropped down upon n Washington stage
until now ho has been tickling the sides and
delighting the souls of a fun-loving public ,
and every cent of his money has been well-
earned by himself , and his great genius has
been sold cheap to the peoplo. Ho has child
ren and grandchildren but his soul Is as
young now as when ho tumbled out of that
bag , nnd Ins blueoycs nio ns merry and his
volco us cheery ns that of a boy. Ho will bo
slxty-ono in February , but Uls
acting is ns good now ns it has
over been , and ho enjoys a good story ,
a good laugh and n peed theater as well as
any man in the country. llo goes to the

Durinutho short chat I had with him X
asked him some questions as to his autobiog
raphy , which appeared in the Century Mag
azine , and Is now being sold over tbo book
counters. This book Is ono of the great
books of this generation , nnd It is the belief
of manygood judges that it will bo ono of thu
few which will last. Its style is delightful ,
and It has been wonderfully successful In its
maga/.ino publication. It is full of bright de
scriptions and its pictures nro complcto in
all their details. I asked Mr. Jefferson as to
whether It was uot made uu from n diary ,
llo replied :
'Ko ' I tiavo never kept n diary , and I had
no notes. lam fortunate in having a good
memory , and I wrote the entire book from it.
I fo'.t ' very doubtiul about undertaking the
book. It scorns to mo that an actor under
taking to take up the role of the literary roan
and to write n book U much like tbo part of u
literary man who decides logo onthostago
and mnko his tirst appearance in the part of
Hamlet. I am glad to see that my work was
popular , and It Is n wonder to mo that I have
succeeded in malting It so. Ihnvohadtho
book In my mind for along time , nnd had in
tended to have put the matter in a book form
and not In a magazine. My friend , Mr.
Gilder , however , advised mo th.it ho could
give mo a wider circulation through the mag
azine , nnd the result shows that ho was
right.
"Did you have any regular habit of writ
ing ! " I asked.
"No , " replied Mr. Jefferson , " 1 began the
book about throe years ago and wrote at it by
Ills and starts as the humor took mo. At
first I kept no notes at all , but after 1 began
my writing I found thatmy memory of events
nnd persons could bo very vivid at some
times and that I could not recall them at all
at others. I then carried n note book and
made memoranda of material for the book
whenever It struck me. It seemed curious
to mo the way my mind worked. I would
awake In the middle ot tbo night from a
sound sleep for no reason that I can sec , and
think of some part of my past experiences.
If i went asleep again I would Hud la the
morning that I knew that I had remembered
something during the night which I intended
to record when I cot up , but I could not
thinic what that something was. After this
I had a pencil and note book by my bedside ,
and at such times as I woke nnd thought of
matter for the book I would rise and wrlto
out the material. In preparing the book
finally I found these memoranda of great
value , and that in mostcasoi the llrst records
wore better than anything that I could
writo. I think on the w hole I am fortunate In
not having kept u dairy. It might have
caused mo to draw nly otory out to nn insuf
ferable length nnd I miglithavo magnified
details which wow bolter omitted. I am of
coursa pleased that the book did succeed , and
I am told that the snip of it has been good1"
The conversation hero turned to literature
and actors , nnd Mr. Jefferson Bixjko very
kindly of the memoirs Mr. Florence is now
writing , and which promise to bo full of in
terest. Mr. Jefferson said :
"I don't sec why an actor should not have a
NITUKU. lir.S'T TOWAUU LITER VTUKU
and why ho should not write llucntlv and
well. Ills whole llfo is made up of the inter
pretation of Htor.Uuro. Ho has to study and
plity tlio classics. Ho has to appreciate all
the phases of thought and expression and In
the rendering of these great litrrarry pro
ductions , his whole llfo is to a certain extent
n lime of education. It would bo strange In
deed If ho did not absorb somettilug and ho
has also to study the people aim to nirilto liis
idea of his parts plain to them. I feel a deli
cacy in saying anything about sucn subjects.
1 nm not a professional writer and I doubt if
I ever write again. I had a story to toll niul
my lltu has been 10 eventful , nnd I hnvu mot
so many men about whom I could talk that
this Is porliapa ono of the reasons of its suc
cess "
There nro few better read men than Mr.
Jeilcrson. Ho possesses a remarkable cul
ture , has done BOIIIO work as an artist which
has been well spoken of by the art critics and
ho carries his paints and easel with him dur
ing his acting. I was curious to know how
ho lound time for such a variety of worit , nnd
I asked him ns to whether ho had been a sys
tematic student during his llfo time. Begin
ning his carcor as n l > oy on the stage for trie
past fifty years ho has been playlnp to tlio
people and you will llnd few college bred
men so cultured or well read as ho : In re-
sponsj to my question tie said :
"Wo , I don't think I have over been much
of u student , nnd indeed I don't believe In
hard study. 1 would not give a boy anything
to learn that would make his head ache , any
uioro than I would ivsk him to loam anything
that would mnko his backache. 1 don't bo-
llevo that It Is the study that Units ttio brow
that Improves the mind , but it is that which
pleases the student and which the mind easily
assimilates. Such things us I have learned
from books have come to mo easily and with
out effort. My reading has been very varied ,
nnd 1 roml according to my moods. I can en
joy mybclf In almost any of the fields of lit-
oraturo. I can spend a pleasant sober hour
with Seneca , and I can enjoy a Inuph the
same evening over the letters of my friend ,
William Nve , or as ho U moru commonly
called. Bill Nyo. I Imvo my fun with Puck ,
and 1 become acquainted with my soul with

I dou't mean to say I road ono the same ns
ho other. I have sometimes to read a tiago
ot Emerson or Hrowilug over several times
before I got at 1U meaning , and sometimes I
uuvcr get at it- But thu fault lu this cuso U ,

Mr. Calvin Bncc , tlio Now York million
aire who will take Henry U. Pnyno's plnco
ns the next senator from Ohio , has been In
the city this week. Ho Is n clean-cut , red-
whiskered , blue-eyed young man with n hard
stnilo nnd n western manner. I rotwmiber
him when ho began his Rionoy-ninklnR career
about ten years ago by pushing the Ohio
Central railroad down through the rich coal
Holds of that state Ho was then often seen
about Columbus , with his pantn In his boots ,
a slouch hat on his head , nud with
by no means the best of clothes
covcnm ? Ills angular frame. Last night
at the Arlington , ho woronslllc hat , a broad
cloth coat and every sign of his clothing ilo-
noted prosperity , Ten years ago ho was
worth nothing. Now ho Is supposed to bo
worth imllbna. Ten years ago he was In
debt to Governor Foster , nnd it was Foster
wno lent him the money nnd give him the
boost which enabled him to climb the tree of
fortune. Now that ho has plucked the fruit ,
however , ho seems to have llttlo use for
Foster , and I nm told that It was his money
and his efforts that caused Foster's defeat as
a candidate for congress this year. How
ever this mav be , If this is true , the future
senator has shown himself to bo the
1NCAIINATIOX OF I.VGIUTlTUnK.
Kx-Cnngressmnn Lnmlcson of Lima once
told mo that Urlco , when ho was wortli prac
tically nothing , owed Foster 8115,000 , , nnd It
was only throuuu additional money which
Foster put Into enterprises In which ho gave
Brlco a sham that enabled him 'a pay this
doht. Ho did pay it finally and came out
with S181.000 nhead. It was this money that
enabled him to organize his nickel-plate
scheme , which enabled him to make somewhere -
where near ? . ) ,000,000 to $ T > ,000,000 nnd estab
lish himself as a big llnunclur. Brlco was
asked by McICInloy during his visit how
.matters . were In New York. Ho replied : "A
dollar in Now York I ? now ns big as the
moon , it keeps growing bigger every day
anil money Is so tight that we have nothing
for Christmas. " "I wish it had been so be
fore the election , " replied McKinlcv , and
thrrent the two statesmen laughed , unit Brlco
laughed the louder.
Colonel Moses P. Handy has refused the
consul-generalship to Cairo , nnd ho Is happy
In his newspaper duties in connection with
the world's fair. llo tells moho got the two
appointments- the same day , nnd preferred
the world's fair position , because it enabled
him to remain at home. Handy would have
made a good consul-general , nnd ho would
have been a refreshing change to some of the
men ulio have occupied the Cairo consulates
in times past. Si-huylcr was a good man , and
Car-dwell who picceded him was above the
average of the country editor , the position
which ho left to take thn place under Presi
dent Cleveland. Wolf was accused of lean
ing toward Arabl Pashu and as for E. H.
Butler , his mission was ono long carcor of
disgrace to America. Ho was drunk during
the greater part of tlie time thaVhoheld the
position , and when ho got out of funds ho
would goto the khcdivo and'aslcforalonnora
present on the grounds that the United States
government did not give htm enough salary
to live upon. America ought to have a very
good man at Cairo. Our churches manage
the missionary business of the countrv , nnd
about two thousand Americans visit I3cypt
every winter to see the country and to enjoy
the delightful cllmato. Thcro Is no doubt
that the proper man might bo able to
MAKE AX OI'BNIXO FOll AMEHICAX TIUDE ,
and the bulk of our goods which now go to

now labels as Dutch or English goods ,
Dr. Edward Bedloe , our now coilsul to
Amoy in China writes me that ho is much
bettor and that ho will bo able to lenvo Lon
don in ten days for his post. Bedloo is an
accomplished linguist. llo has occupied a
position at several of the consular ports of
Europe , and ho will bo very popular in tbo
far oast. Ho proposes to learn the Chinese
language , to maku a study of Chinese litera
ture , and to open the country as far as possi
ble , to our American manufacturers. His ad
dress will bo Atnoy , China , and he is in the

parts of the empire. American manufactur
ers who have any products that might bo of
value totho celestials , will do well to wrlto
him , and they will find their Interests pushed
from the word "go. " Bodloe Is a member of
the Clover club of Philadelphia , and t'uis club
is fast becoming a diplomatic institution.
General E. Burd Grubb , minister to Spain , is
ono of its members , Charles Emory Smith ,
who represents the United States at the court
of the czar , Is another , and Colonel Tom Don-
cldson , the census tuker of the redskins , is a
third. Major Handy is also a member of the
Clover club , and I understand that Bill Nvo
will bo elected as one of its members at the
next meeting.
Korea has at last buried the queen dow
ager , and my mail of today brings mo a letter
from the capital stating that she was planted
in great state on the l.'lth ot lust month. Tills
letter speaks very highly of tlw old lady and
describes the funeral. It scorns that she atone
ono time hold the seals of state , and that she
mudo throa kings of Corca. She was a

and the reigning king washer adopted son.
The funeral procession was grand in the ex
treme. nnd It must have been very strange to
American eyes. My letter describes itjis
follows :
"Tho procession bearing the body to the
grave was composed of two parts as distinct
as lifo and death. The forepart included
eatables , beautiful banners , animals regally
caparisoned , nnd things making up n numer
ous rctinuo of horse and of foot as thouirh the
queen were going out to a picnic. Behind
this was the funeral processloa proper , con
taining the catafalque , accompanied by u
large military escort. Many u thousand of
OFFICIAL IS15O tAXTKUSS
lighted the length of the procession , and the
king caused certain places along the line of
the procession to bo prepared for the use of
such of the diplomatic representatives who
desired to see something of eastern pagean
try. The American minister had an escort
of marines and sailors , and a number of the
former had Kodah cameras , but it is doubt
ful whether any good pictures were gotten ,
owing to the light and to the difficulty of
taking thorn. The collln was not placed into
the ground till 4 a. in. , until the opening of anew
now day , emblematic of the now lifo for the
departed. Although much time was con
sumed , the closing ceremonies were very
simple. A bountiful repast was spread upon
n massive stone tablet in front of ttio mound ,
and nt this time u son or near relative of the
deceased usually bows before the grave. In
tlio household of every Korean , each member
has u low eating table , and when a father or
n mother dies , this table is not taken away ,
but It is kept in the family and upon it for
three years after that , every morning and
every evening , thorn is placed a meal
for the ghost of the departed. There were
nt tlila funeral sedan chairs and
wooden horses , praises nnd prayers on many
paper rolls together with Incense all these
were burned that they might go to the spirit ,
ami n tablet to her memory was sot up in the
tumplo. His majesty the kins mot the pro
cession on its return , and the sedan chair In
which ho lode was white nnd it was carried
between Iwo white horses. An embassy
bearing the condolence of the Chinese em
peror is expected hero in n day or so , and
nftor this time the business of the country
may bo resumed. At present nothing Is done
by the people or by the court. The civil ser
vice examinations have been suspended and
thdwholo nation has given itself up to grief. "
"Hy the way , " this letter goes on , "I sco In
n Washington newspaper the report of an In
terview with the Chinese minister to Amer
ica In which ho says that the Korean govern
ment is indebted to the Chinese government
nnd that It cannot make a loan without the
tatter's consent. This is preposterous. Korea
awes no money to China , and she has long
since discarded the Chinese leading strings.
Wlion Korea makes up her mind that she
wants more money for development nnd Im
provement , she knows where to got It without
the Intermeddling of Chlnoso officials of higher
or low degree. Judge Deunoy , the former
foreign advisor to the king , who you will
remember U an Oregon man , is still In Seoul.
and ho does not seem to know when ho will
got through. The English are making a new
departure here. They are now sending doc
tors and missionaries , including a bishop , nnd
it is to bo hoped that they will do less po
litical and more Christian work than they
have been known to do elsewhere. "

lloiv to Trent CnllerH-Xcn lcr Society
1-mmbKlim rTito "Haul iloiul"
IK Ocn r 1ly Safe tilttlo
'
" for Women.
As the recurrlnc season nppronchcs , it Is n
subject discussed In goclul clrclos , liow fixr
young men nro unduly tempted If wlno Is of
fered to them whou tltoy mnko tholr round of
Now Year's visits.
To the direct question : "Shall wo offer
wluo to the men who call upon usl" I would
answer : "With discrimination. " And whou
It Is again ashed : "I'rny , what does that
menu ! " I would reply : "Ono cnntiot , on n
soclnl point , mnko anabsoluto , r Uo or a dell-
nlto law unless Rood morals may bo endan
gered , but It Is necessary to bo guided by ti
variety of circumstances. "
If , us should bu the case , n very cautious
survellanco existed , as the charaetcr of the
men who form one's circle of acquaintance ,
any selection thus made would doubtless bo
such as to render It quite safe and proper to
offer a plnss of wlno.
In order to nrrlvo at this conclusion It must
of course be presupposed that the carefully
chosen guests who visit nt the house nro well
known to us , approved as men of good habits ,
and gentlemen who know how to rival ! thein-
oelved of the amenities of life without over
stepping the bounds of decorum.
, If from dofoctlvo training or Inherent bail
qualities such Is not the case , n tnlstaUo will
have been mndo in permitting thcso men to
visit the Uottso nt nil , and the sooner the 111-
tltned acquaintances ceases the better.
It Is doubtful If a man who Is not sure of
his power of self-command la a desirable ac
quisition In any society , for at the best his
moral nature needs strengthening before ho
can bo ready to battle with the world , inas
much as n lack of moral power In any o ne d
rcctlon la npt to bo n signal light of danger all
around. Or If a man is simply wc.ik , then
he Is so negative as to bo. to say the least ,
unreliable.
Is not n high sqnso of honor , a keen sensi
tiveness against all renro.ich , the best proof
armor In which to encase our youth )
A man must already have u dangerous nt > -
petite for drink If n glass of good wine , ten
dered on u festive occasion , prove an Incen
tive to excess. Education teaches self-ro-
struiut , culture enforces the lesson , anil a
true gentleman understands the requirements
of his social position.
It U but n poor compliment to a selected
clrclo of friends that wo dare not trust to
their rellnemcnt or discretion. This and much
inoroinaybu said concerning those delicnto
distinctions that mark the Intercourse of the
polite world.
But huiu ono must pnuso , for no broad line
can be safely drawn , no sweeping rule de-
mind.
On Now Year's day many men visit the
houses of merely casual acquaintances , ami
how to entcrtaln/8ueh callers must bo left to
these particular tircumstances known best to
each hostess wliB thus receives.
The Christiunrobli atiun of scttlncr n good
example may [ never bo Ignored by any
woman , and it rests with us also not only to
sustain in tact , but to elevate the social
standard. * * '
It Is a great responsibility.
How can wo best meet It I
Again , I repeat , by the exercise of peed
common seiiso which involves nice discrimi
nation.
Certainly thoofllclal receptions of Wash
ington nro held upon such a scale that no dis
criminations are made and no selections are
possible. It may "bo said that "theso assem
blages arc , in deed and in fact , public recep
tions. The public pay their respects to the
lenders. It is u patriarchal sort of business ,
which can scarcely bo considered as society.
Assuredly it would bo unwise to present to a
collection of people , of whoso antecedents
ono knoxvs nothing , that which might provo
a stumbling-block or a snaro.
It is Raid that an inebriate is n walking
powder inuga/.ino , to which the unparded ap
plication of a lighted match might cause
spoutancons combustion.
At any general assembly , where distinc
tion as to the character of participants is im
possible , every euro should bo exercised to
avoid tempting the weak.
Certainly no wino should bo offered whore
no Just discrimination can bo practiced.
But this is not thoexerciso of hospitality ,
that graceful trihuto of regard and respect
wo pay to these who have won our esteem.
Bpcakinp of this subject of hospitality ,
I am reminded of nu anecdote
of Hobcrt Toombs , of Georgia ,
whom I knew very well In ante-bellum
diiys. Ho was a wealthy , typical southern
planter , and ho hold a sort of feudal away
over the town adjacent to his extensive plan
tations. It is told that ho declared that no
man should keep a tavern in that townfor ho
said ' 'if any strangnr comes along who Is
worth knowing I propose to entertain him ,
but if ho is poor white trash ho must clear
out anyhow. "
While ono might not exactly subscribe to
the way the old planter formulated his opin
ion , the principle involved is not bad. If a
limn is "worth knowing" ho is worthy of
good cheer and hospitable treatment.
There li ono thine not to bo overlooked ,
that there Is nspecial danger of oflcringstlm-
ulnnta that tire too nendv on Now Year's day
on account of the number of visits that men
ar .i expected to make , so that the Inevitable
repetition of the glasi that cheers imy CM ! by
inebriating. This is n serious objection to
the use of wines on that occasion , and ono
that should bu carefully weighed. It Is sub
jecting to a cruel mortification a sensitive
younir man to render him iiiiblo. by hospita
ble intent , to do or say silly things.
Then , acuin , some very nice young men nro
at best , easily muddled , uot being naturally
blessed perhaps with extra strength of brain ,
and to these society lambkins very tender
treatment should bo extended and no tempta
tion of strong potations allowed.
On the other hand , it is always thoughtful
to oflcr a glass of choice winu to nu old gen
tleman. The presumption being that , if
God has honored him with n coronet of silver ,
or may bo that "bald head , " the scripture
teaches us to respect , that no has not reached
his thrco-scoro and ten without having
learned how to take proper euro of himself.
Again , the gradual Introduction of native
wines is really n iblcssing , as their general
use will help to solvpa difttcult problem.
Onu can now procufro pure wine , not intoxi
cating , from our ,0 11 vineyards , that are
healthful and adapted to this exhaubtliir
clim.ito. I
When these wines can bo sold at such
cheap rates as to upHiithin the rcacti ol people
ple of moderate or restricted means , the day
or strong drinks will tinvo passed away.
I have been told thtit our native wines could
bo made at such low nit us us to ho as procur
able by poor peoplpXs the wines nro In Ku-
rope , but that thp irlfres have to bo held at
higher rates in ( irctir to induce the fashion
able world to buy tbeii.
This , if so , is risM commentary upon ths
absurd American sjiuStlvoncss as regnrdstho
outlay of inoiojv\vjtek makes it needful to
mnko nu nrtlclo liitjb priced to bo hold is es
teem. '
I would submjt.lljs reflection to society
whenever It mnyfiei ; ino susceptible of any
philanthropic considerations.
There Is ono rule oj nigh breeding In the
exorcise of hospitality that mav well bo ro-
mombcrcd at nil times , but especially in this
connection , and tnnt ii , never urge a guest to
partnko of whatever 3ou may have to offer.
U is to bo supposed that the old Spanish
custom of unbounded liberality is also ours
when wo entertain ocr friends , although wo
may not choose- ofur "our house and ull
that it contains' * with the Castilllau grandll-
oqmico of pnrose , ycVllo spirit of generous
hospitality is every\lioro the samo. Wo
place before ourguuti whatever may
linvo to offer them , mil In doing so wo take It
Tor granted they wlllfor the time belngcon-
shier our house ns tlelrs. To insist upon
choosing for them la i sort of tyranny , not
( jiMcoful. to say the letst.
Men often complalnln making a round of
visits of this nmiublo hilstenco on the part of
the fair hostess , whiel really deprives them
of the liberty of choicj and actually onslnvcs
their inclinations. It pulllpltes , for Instance ,
n Rlass of wlno on Now Year's day beyond a
prudent or even safe limit.
A bashful young man ouco confided to rae
tnat this very perslstnnco , which occurs
oftcner than Is ngroenblo , formed otic of his
most dreaded soclnl woes. Another com-
plalnoil of the "awful time" ho had ntncoun-
try dinner on this very score , where a Ivnx-
eyed hostess scorned to consider him &s n sort
of a cormorant , keeping his plate replenished
with Incxorablo zeiu.
Tlioro Is no liner point In. entertaining than
to notice williout seeming to do * o. This , Indeed -
deed N that Indolhinulo something which
may bo felt but not explained , and that may
for the lr.ck of a bolter naniobe called "tact. "
However , let no one despair of Its acqui
sition , for it has ns Its foundation good feel
ing.Can

t WHAT A TERRIBLE BREATH !
That Person Had. I Could Hardly Talk With Him. "
There Is not n person who
reads this that has not both
heard nnd made a similar ex
pression to the above , perhaps
many times , yet few ever think
what the cause Is. Nine cases
out of ton a bad breath is caused
by decayed teeth. These cnva-
tles of decay form rocepticles for
the accumulation of food which
becomes decomposed , hence the
offensive odor. Ono decoyed
tooth will often make the breath
almost unbearable to these with-
whom you converge. It being a
sensitive subject to mention be
tween friends frequently ono
goes In Ignorance of how offen
sive their breath may be. This is not all. The decomposed matter
in a cavity of decay is constantly being swallowed and Is frequently
the cause of diseases ofthe stomach , which in many cases bring or
other complicated diseases ofthe general system. Howimporj&ffiTT
should be then , to keep your mouth in a clean nnd healthy state "for so
much of your health , comfort and happiness depend upon it. Visit
DR. BAH EXY , The Dentist ,
And have your mouth looked over. Examination and advice free.
