BYK THE BYB.
My friend llnriniin has sent me mico moro
a token of his klml remembrance. Wo nro
en very friendly terms P. T. nnd I. Our
association dates back mnny years to tho
tlmo his show canto to my old town, Ho
lifted tlio mortgage on my new simper, mid
did It In Mich n kindly coiiMdernlo wnyl Ho
did not iniiko me feel like nn object of chnrily
no, indeed. Ho took n mgo nd. nt four
times tho regular it Ice, nnd you niny Imj sure,
that my grateful appreciation will novur run
dry. In fact, I gavu him a nice notieo In
thai tamo Issue, and ho wan very proud of It.
Ho acknowledged tho power of my gicnt
weekly by giving mo ten tickets to his gioot
est show on earth reserved seats nt that.
Wlinta gonotoUs fellow ho 1st FhlnenH and
I exchange courtesies like theso every timo
ho conies to my town. Hut I appreciate 11
favor, mid I don't chargo him moro than
doublo price now. Just to show you w hat ho
thinks of me wliy, ho sends me 11 newspai er
every littlo whllo. Itnhvnjs has an nrtlclo
about him or his chow. Hu knows I havo 11
friendly Interest in his success, and ho Is Mich
h thoughtfully considerate uiun that ho oven
takes n blue cucll and marks tho notices to
cava me tho troublo of looking them up. I
have only 0110 other friend nskiiidasPhlnoo.
It Is O. W. Chlldsof tho Philadelphia -f(rr.
Mo is such 11 good man that issoplo are con
stantly asking him to run for president.
Every tlmoa nowsia)cr nominates hltn for
tho presidency George goes out mid buys a
copy, marls tho notieo and mails it to me.
I bao never grasiMMl George's pnlm, but no
arc both in tho nowspner business nnd ho
knows that I admire tho fortltudo with which
ho resists the temptation to go into a business
that will afford plo tlirco times a day. Ah,
Goorgo is a bright exemplar of journalism.
Wo nil lovo him, and if hoovor runs for presi
dent we'll pay him back for his kindness in
wilding us marked papers.
But us I was going to say, I'hiuoas has re
membered mo again by sending mo copies of
English papers with notices of his great show
now exhibiting In London. Tho paiteis, to
bo sure, aro three mid four weeks old, but it
Is tho thoughtrulniss of my old friend that J
appreciate And then tho papers aro an in
tcrcsting study themselves. Hero is tho Kick
iti((iiu( At'its it)sf, lor Instance. Tho cry
first thing in it is a column advertisement,
ottering stock In a syndicate formed to buy
up tho broweriesof Indlaiinixills, Ind. A Mr.
Lenon flguies in tho nd. us "tho vender to tho
company." Ho seems to havo como over to
this country, got an option on tho tlirco big
breweries at Indianapolis, gono bnck to Eng
land, organized n company mid ottered tho
pro)oity for $2,150,000, which undoubtodly
includes a very handsome sum forms option
Tho nd. uunounceH that subscriptions to tho
slock or tlio company will ho recol vod. It ex
plains that tho coloration is to bo cnpltnl
lied at f 1,350,000 nnd bonded for SbOO.OOO.
Among tho usscts it is noted Hint two of tho
breweries havo 225 saloons "tied by lams nnd
chattel-mortgages." The ad. says tho profits
of tho three concerns havo beou $2!15,O00 er
year, mid it holdsout this alluring prospect to
English investors: Interest on tho bonds ut 0
percent., $18,000;interest on onc-hnlftliostock
(preform!) nt 8 per cent., $54,000; Interest on
other half of stock (ordinary) "at say 10 jer
cent.," $108,000. "leaving a surplus of $25,000
per uuiium foi muiingement, exensos, etc."
'Hint ought to bo tempting enough to English'
men who think themselves lucky if they get a
four er cent, investment over in their own
couutry.
On tho same pago Is an account of a threat
ened strike, tho clicumstnnces of which are
somewhat peculiar. Tho opening of Dar
num's circus nt Olympla set in a great tldo of
travel to mat point, and tho street car coin
panics extended tho "run" on somo of their
lines to meet tho emergency, Previously tho
drlveisnnd conductors worked fifteen nnd
nc-hnlf hours. Tho extension of tho Journey
increased tho timo to seventeen hours and ten
minutos, mid without any additional pay.
The wages of tho drivers wero $1.60 per day
and of tlio conductors 87 cents. Just figure
ut tlio rate per hour. And the longest meal
time during tho duy was thlitoen minutes,
which was often reduced by some dcluy to
eight minutes.
We havo heard n deal about tho dignity of
tho English pa;ers in comparif 011 with tho per
sonality, egotism nnd flippancy of the Amori
fcnn prots. TI19 A'etrs undcitooktoluterviaw
Jem Hmltli, tho pugilist, after his pounding
by Jackson, tho Australian daikey. This Is
tho dfgnlilcd, impersonal way in which tlio
cockney roporter wroto up his attempt:
"What does Jem Smith think of his beat
ing This was one of tlio questions w hlch
surged through tho edltorinl mind yesterday,
and 11 member of tho staff was deputed to
furnish an answer. Our representative, nf
tcr n few inquiries, found out Smith's address
and fully expected to como iioiithoox-rhnin-plon
vt nipped in llaunolsjnud under the sooth

Smith's nddi ess, however, was not to flud

and our representative played a game nt hide

tho city. At length our repot ter stopped to
rellett whether Smith or ho could drink the
