CHARACTER ON A BAG Continental Porter Judges Traveler by Little Marks Made on Luggage for Benefit of Others. Paris.—The manner In which the traveler has his character written on his luggage for the benefit of porters and hotel servants is thus described by one of the latter. Little scratches on the bags are made after the trav eler has given a ”tip" and these marks are understood by all porters and oth er employes. A horizontal line on the right hand top corner of the bag means that the owner gives very small “tips" and should be boycotted when possible. A diagonal scratch on the lower left band corner signifies “exacting and disagreeable." A cross in the lower right hand corner means ‘'exacting, but genercus." and small vertical marks near the lock, “very generous.” A curved mark on the left band up per corner signifies “Inexperienced, has not traveled much.” FRANCE JOINS WAR ON FLY Scientists Declare Against Little In sect That Spreads Oisease—Warn ings Accepted Seriously.

Reed at Session of Committee That Was Investigating the Presidential Election. The first congress which was or ganized after the Inauguration of President Hayes adopted a resolution providing for an investigation of the manner in which the presidential elec tion of the year previous was con ducted in the states of Louisiana and South Carolina. The purpose of this investigation, although not the ac knowledged purpose, was to discover whether returning boards in either or both of those states had been bribed tc make returns in favor of the Re publican electors of those states. Clarkson M. Potter was the chairman of thBj committee. He was the elder brother of Rev. Dr. Henry C. Potter, who afterwards became bishop of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of New York. He was a lawyer of some dis tinction and a man of unusual charm of personal character. This committee held several ses sions at the Fifth Avenue hotel in New York in the winter of 1878. Sam uel J. Tilden, the defeated Democratic candidate for president, for whom nev ertheless a plurality of the people had voted, was subpoenaed as a witness to appear before this committee. Some of the Republican members of the committee were anxious to test Gov ernor Tilden's knowledge as to wheth er or not cipher dispatches, so called, containing improper propositions, had been sent by some of those who were managing the Democratic campaign to the returning boards of South Caro lina and Louisiana. Mr. Tilden appeared before the com mittee in response to the subpoena one afternoon. He stood beside the chair of Mr. Potter, one hand resting upon the back of the chair. The ex pression on Governor Tilden’s face wes extremely stern. Of course he commanded the intensest Interest on the part of every member of the com mittee, some of whom had never be fore seen him. Slowly, with penetrat ing although almost furtive look, he glanced from one member of the com mittee to the other as though trying to measure them. At last his eyes fell upon the Junior member of the committee; and the defeated presi dential candidate seemed to be fasci nated. or at least intensely occupied, with the conduct of that young man. This youngest member of the com mittee sat at the lower end of the table, his chin resting in the palm of one hand He fixed upon Governor Tilden a strange, curious glance, with something of quizzical suggestion, and there seemed to play about his lips the faint flicker of a smile. And so these two men watched each other, each apparently being oblivious to the presence of any other person. I was sitting a little to the rear of my friend, the late Congressman Wil liam M. Springer of Illinois, who was a member of the committee. He turned to me and said: “The governor and Reed are meas uring each other up.” The young man at the end of the table was Thomas B. Reed, at that time at the beginning of his first term as a member of congress. During the entire giving of the tes timony by Governor Tilden Reed main tained the same peculiar attitude, his chin upon the palm of one hand, and that half whimsical light in his eyes, which had come to him when Tilden first took his place beside Chairman Potter. It was upon Mr. Reed during all the questioning and cross-ques tioning tnat the eyes of Samuel J. Til den were fixed. And Reed, in that strange, nasal, drawling tone, which he could use with skill when be de sired to annoy or confuse or bewilder anyone, asked Governor Tilden two 01; three questions. They were leading questions, and there seemed to be to some members of the committee a lurking tone of almost insolence iD them. After the committee had adjourned for the day Mr. Reed said to Mr. Springer, “If you had put that man into the White House you would have nothing but ice and intellect there”— as pat a summing up of Samuel J. Tilden as was ever made. So, also, after the committee bad adjourned for the day. Governor Til den said to Clarkson M. Potter: “At the foot of the table sat the man who is to be the leader of his party. He has more personal power I than all the other members of tho | committee. You will find, in the j course of a few years, that he will be I the master in the house of represen | tatives and will become the leader of , his party. He is the man against whom you should concentrate your i strength and of whom you should be ever watchful.” A few years later Thomas B. Reed was the big man on the Republican side in the national house of repre sentatives. (Copyright. 1911. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Metal McKinley Valued Most He Believed Tin Was of Greatest Im portance to This Country in the Way of Its Possible Devel opment. “I sometimes think that the great est schoolmaster, both for an Ameri can business man and for a member of congress, is a tariff bill when It is under consideration, either by the ways and means committee of the house of representatives, or by the house itself in committee of the whole.” It was in 1882 that this statement was made to me by William McKin ley. who at that time had been for six years a member of congress and had already become prominent because of his mastery from the protectionist point of view of all questions relating to the tariff. A tariff commission had been appointed in 1S82 whose duty it was to report to congress a revision of the tariff. It was while Mr. Mc Kinley was discussing some of the dif ficulties that this commission would be compelled to meet and overcome that he made the remark to me which is quoted above. “It is impossible for any man faith fully to follow the hearings before the Led Booth to Play Hamlet - - — - - - ■ ■ - - Great Tragedian’s Resemblance to the "Melancholy Dane" Was Noted by His Father When Edwin Was Young Man. One of the famous American the atrical managers of yesterday was William Stuart, who died in the early eighties of the last century. Twenty years before that he had been man ager of what was then unquestionably the leading theater of America—the Winter Garden in New York city. There appeared almost all of the lead ing actors and actresses of the time, mong them Edwin Booth, whose pro ductions of "Hamlet” and other Shakespearean plays upon the stage of the Winter Garden, beginning in 1863, were "famously successful." Stuart, who was supposed to have fled from Ireland on account of po litical troubles and whose real name was understood to hmve been Edmund O’FTaherty, came to be an intimate friend of Edwlu Booth, and from him. one day in the evening of his life. I heard the story, as Stuart had heard it from Booth's own lips, of the manner In which the first suggestion that Booth play Hamlet came to him. “Booth has always been a somewhat difficult man to have personal Inter course with,” said Mr. Stuart “for there is a tinge of temperamental melancholy about him which some times strongly influences him. making him frequently dreamy”. Yet numer ous times, when I was a manager. I found myself in delightful conversa tion with him. “I remember that one afternoon when he was about half through his extraordinarily successful engage ment at the Winter Garden, an en gagement In which he duplicated his wonderful Philadelphia success as Hamlet. I found him in a somewhat reminiscent mood and asked him if he had always, from the time he went upon the stage, had ambition to play the part of Hamlet. He bestowed upon me that singularly fascinating and beautiful smile which he reserved for those who had his confidence, and then ‘old me that it was his father who first suggested to him that he play Hamlet. “ 'It happened in this way.’ Booth said. ‘I was standing in the wings of a theater In San Francisco where my father was playing, and 1 with him. I think about the year 4S53. I was dressed for the part I was to assume when my father passed by. Just as he had got by he turned, came back and looked at me steadily for more than a minute. I wondered If I bad made some mistake in dressing for my part. I knew that something was on his mind by the way he looked at me. “‘At last he said to me: “You look like Hamlet; you wouldn't have to make up much for the part. Why don't you study it and play it? It is more than half the part of Hamlet to look 1L“ “ Then my father w ent on. nor did he ever again allude to the subject. But be had dropped a seed in my mind. I began to study the part of Hamlet and the entire play. After a time I thought I understood it and was certain that when the opportunity came I could play Hamlet as well as look the part' “How well he played It" said Mr. Stuart “you may judge from the fact that l happen to know that Booth re ceived from his Philadelphia and New York representations of the .part a lit tle over ninety thousand dollars, and all because his father, when Edwin Booth was still a young man. thought that the son looked, so like Hamlet that he would need to make up very little for the part."

All 1 Rights Reserved.) ways and means committee, or to serve upon that committee, without learning more of the material re sources of the United States, whether they are developed or latent, or what the possibilities of development are than could be learned by him in any other way.” continued Mr. McKinley “If I have any special information which qualifies me to speak with some authority upon the resources of the United States and their development and their chances of development, it is due wholly to the fact that I have made a careful study of the tariff my chief work, especially since I have been a member of the ways and means committee. I will illustrate what I am saying to you by asking you a question. It is this: What, do you think, is the most valuable min er&l—valuable In the sense of the greatest possible development—to the United States?” “Do you mean to Include the prec ious metals. like gold or silver?" 1 asked. “No. because gold and silver are ol especial and exclusive importance be cause they are the basis of oui money.” “Well. then, of course. I should saj that iron Is the most valuable.” “I have my doubts about that.” Mr McKinley replied. “Of course, iron is of the utmost importance for the de velopment of our industries, and foi our railroads; we have, however plenty of iron. On the other hand the metal which, in my opinion. Is almost as valuable and important as iron to this country, is one of the few min er&ls which the United States does not produce in any commercial quan tity. Can you guess now what it is?' 1 shook my head. “It is tin." said the man who was to be the framer of a tariff bill, who was to write the tariff plank in twe national Republican platforms, and who was to be elected president upor a protection tariff plank. “The world now largely depends npon the use ol tin for no small part of its food. With out tin food could not be put intc packages so that armies can be fed wherever they are; without it pros pectors who are exploiting our re sources and explorers could not be assured of their daily supply of food Without food, what is an army, whal the ability of the men who are build ing railroads across deserts, o> through the great forests and mountair stretches of the west? Tin cans, tin cases, humble tin receptacles of all sorts—what an Important part they play in every day life. In the average kitchen of the Republic? Yes. my ex perience In the school of tariff making has led me to the belief that this hum ble metal, which nature has denied the United States, may be compared with Iron Itself so far as its material importance to this country is con cerned, and though I do not care to say this publicly at this time, some day I shall do so.” Seven years later, as chairman ol the ways and means committee of the house. William McKinley framed the tariff bill that bears his name in his tory. Probably the most striking sin gle schedule in It—and unquestiona bly the schedule that caused the greatest popular discussion—was that which placed a duty upon tin plate. (Copyright. 1911. by E. J.

Something New in Sport Fly "Swatting” Has a Charm of Its Own Which the Hunter Will Appreciate. Fly hunting is without its literature, yet it Is almost the only form of hunt ing that keeps the hunter amused in bis own home. It is always available; the game is plentiful, and it is one of the few sports in which it is a virtue to be a game hog. Since the amount of strength required la small, the game is open to young and old and to members of both sexes. Poise is the matter of most importance, and any one who is proficient enough with a swatter to strike down a fly on a swinging window cord or tip one off the shade of the gaslight without shat tering the mantle need feel no hesita tion about going In for billiards. For success in wing-shot swatting an ex traordinary sharpness of the eye is essential, for wing-shots only stun the game, and unless the hunter’s sigh: can follow it to the floor to strike a second time with wonderful quick ness the score is lost Flies raised In a fly hunter’s rooms become as wary as wise old crows, and when a house has been hunted for a few days a con siderable amount of nature study en ters into the sport. At the same time the eye must be trained to detect shams or much time may be wasted creeping up to swat a small rip in the cloth of the window seat. Don’t swat flies near sharp edges of tables or chairs where a blow will bend the wires. Scare your prey into the open follow Its flight and bring it to earth In some more advantageous hunting grounds. And always remember, an animal clever enough to walk upside down on a celling Is not to be de spised for hunting purposes just be cause It doesn’t weigh as much as a duck.—Comer’s.
