JAY GOULD
HE Gould fnmily
lias been very
much In the public
eye of Jute Some
members have been
conspicuous for
one thing and some
for another Some
have been winning
honors and some
merely notoriety
Jay Gould son of
George J Gould
and grandson of
the late railroad
king whose name
he bears has set
out to make hid
mark as a tennis
iplayer Some day or other he may
make his mark In the world of busi
ness but at present the world of sport
1b that hi which he alms to shine His
latest achievement is winning the title
of amateur champion In court tennis
from the Britons That was rather
cruel on Mr Goulds part because the
sport Is one in which the British have
always claimed to beat the world
Young Goulds chief opponent and the
player from whom he Avon the cham
pionship was Eustace Miles lie is a
vegetarian and it was in allusion to
this in connection with the battle over
tennis that Punch perpetrated the fol
lowing lines
A wonderful athlete called Miles
Coated cabbage In forty four styles
11 The result of this fad
Was exceedingly bad
Jay Gould has a corner In smiles
At the crucial point in the contest
with Miles Goulds racket wrist went
back on him Twice it took a cramp
and play had to be stopped while It
was massaged At this time Gould
played as if his very life depended on
every stroke of his racket His dog
gedness the snnd which made his
grandfather such a dominant figure in
his lifetime kept the young player go
ing even after he had used up all his
boyish store of vitality
In the house of George Gould are
domestic peace and tranquillity Miss
Helen Gould never having married is
not troubled over the question of how
to manage a husband The domestic
affairs of Mr and Mrs Edwin Gould
Lave not protruded Into the public
gaze But Anna and Howard and
JFrank have all had
freason to think fa
vorably of the trial
marriage Idea An
na won the title of
Countess but at the
price of much un
nappiness and final
ly a resort to the di
vorce court Howard
and his wife who
twas the actress
iKatherine Clem
monshave frequent
ly quarreled and are
at present seeking
freedom from each
other And now the
MBS FRANK J
GOULD
quarrels of Frank and his wife have
become public property In the latter
case the husband says it is another in
stance of too much mother-in-law In
deed both Mr and Mrs Gould have
denied that there has been any serious
quarrel between them and Mrs Gould
remarked Whatever trouble we have
had has been caused in a measure by
my mothers quick temper She does
and says a lot of things she doesnt
mean
Mrs Gould was Miss Helen Kelly of
New York and was quite popular in so
ciety She married Mr Gould five
years ago She is tall and slender with
golden brown hair Her mother Mrs
Edward Kelly in speaking of the inci
dent said This was not a case of
too much mother-in-law It was a
case of a loving mother trying to save
lier daughter from a broken heart
The witty Bishop Stanford Olmsted
of Colorado at a dinner in Denver said
apropos of Sabbath breaking
I was talking to an eastern clergy
man the other day about his church
attendance
I suppose I said that in your
district rain affects the attendance con
siderably
He smiled faintly
1 Indeed yes he said I hardly
nave a vacant seat when It Is too wet
for golf or motoring
f Dr Louis Klopsch editor of the
Christian Herald who was recently

nal for the relief of the starving Japa
nese in the famine of a year ago He

lalf of the famine stricken Chinese
The decoration giv
en him In recogni
tion of his services

Sir Edward Grey who has been put
up by the present Liberal government
In England to defend one of Its prin
cipal measures the army bill Is one
of the leading figures In parliament It
Is predicted that he will some day be
premier He has been In parliament
since he was twenty three and at thir
ty ho was Gladstones undersecretary
for foreign affairs
lie was greatly as
sisted in ills polit
ical career by his
wife who died about
a year ago In an
article about Lady
Grey written at the
time of her death
the writer stated
Even apart from
her devotion to her
husband she was
the keenest possible
Liberal politician

SIR EDWARD GREY
IN PARLIAMENT
ancestor is mentioned in the Ballad of
Chevy Chase and her personal popu
larity in the border count y was re
sponsible for much of its Liberalism
For Sir Edward she worked Incessant
ly and brilliantly from his first polit
ical campaign two months after his
marriage in 1SS5 down to the late bat
tle from whose triumph she has been
so tragically called away Lady Grey
had a large desk at Folloden devoted
to political papers answered many of
Sir Edwards letters and throughout his
five campaigns frequently took notes at
his opponents meetings of points in the
speeches which she thought needed re
ply
Former Senator Chandlers state
ment that a movement is on foot
among Christian Scientists to retire
Mrs Eddy from the headship of the
sect and put in her place Mrs Augusta
E Stetson has called attention to the
career of that lady She was formerly
first reader of the
First Church of
Christ Scientists
New York and has
been called high
priestess of Chris
tian Science in that
city The church of
which she was head
recently erected a
new edifice at a cost
of about 1000000
Mrs Stetson while
its first reader or
pastor enjoyed a
salary of 5000 She
Is head of the Chris
tian Science Insti
tute in New York
After her retirement as first reader in
the First church she remained a mem
ber of the board of trustees and the
most influential person in the organiza
tion There was a movement about
two years ago to dispute her leader
ship but it did not succeed
Dr B D Evans one of the experts
in the Thaw trial was criticising at a
physicians dinner the browbeating
method of cross examination that the
courts permit
But my criticism Dr Evans ended
has been feeble and what good is
feeble criticism The critic to score
must be epigrammatic unexpected
humorous Thus in my native Bridge
town a candidate for congress spoke
at a mass meeting and afterward a
politician asked an old farmer what he
thought of the speech
Waal I dunno said the old man
soberly but I think six hours rain
would a done us a lot more good
The subject of equal pay for men
and women who teach in the public
schools has been a good deal under dis
cussion of late Sometimes even the
male teachers do not receive very high
salaries Senator Isidor Rayner of
Maryland is one of
those who believe
that the educators
of the land are none
too well paid At a
reception not long
ago he told a story
about a teachers
meeting in a district
where the salaries
were extremely low
A rich portly
banker opened the

ISIDOR RAYNER
meeting with an address he said
The banker concluded his remarks
with an enthusiastic gesture and the
words
Long live our schoolteachers

seedy man in a black coat slightly

Curve Pitching
Curve pitching is not a new feature
of baseball by any means yet many
veteran fans well remember the
days when the man who talked about
making a ball curve would have been
locked up in the town calaboose with
iron pills chained to his ankles Base
ball historians aver that curve pitch
ing came into vogue in the early sev
enties in some localities and in spite
of the length of time that has elapsed
since that period in which the develop
ment of curves has been diligently pur
sued it Is the opinion of expert ob
servers that there are many mysteries
and possibilities that are as yet un
solved and Inexhausted

A LOST SWORD
It Was Frederick the Greats and Was
Confiscated by Napoleon
While Frussla was at his feet after
the battle of Jena Bonaparte visited
Potsdam and there he saw the sword
of Frederick the Great He took pos
session of it saying I value this
sword more than all the treasures of
Prussia It was deposited at the In
valldes on May 17 1S07 with military
pomp and ceremony to the immense
gratification of the people of Paris
But there came the black days of
ISM and with the allies on the point
of entering the French capital the gov
ernor of the Invalides Marshal Sor
rurler received orders to take steps
for the preservation of the precious
trophies there collected especially the
sword of Frederick the Great Inter
preting this instruction in a peculiar
fashion the governor took effective
measures for preventing them from
falling into the hands of the enemy by
making a bonfire of them and It was
said that he threw Fredericks sword
Into the flames
This statement was confirmed as late
as lSi7 by an eyewitness Thus per
ished as was attested in 1SH0 when
an official Inquiry was made into the
matter between ln00 and 300 war
flags and other memorials of victory
The ashes and remains were thrown
Into the Seine at the mouth of a sewer
The sword could not of course have
been destroyed in the conflagration
but it was never seen again It hap
pened that in 1S15 an engineer having
ascertained the precise spot where the
debris from the fire had been put into
the river made a search and recovered
from the bottom a considerable num
ber of bronze and copper articles which
were returned to the Invalides But
the sword of Frederick was not found
One would like to think that It was
not the fate of this historic weapon to
rust away in foul mud but that it had
undergone the noble transformation of
being turned into some Implement of
peaceful industry Of this however
there is no evidence London News
HE OVERDID IT
A Last Wager That Might Perhaps
Have Been Won
When it got as far as the cigars at
an informal supper the other night at
which the manager of one of the most
talked of New York hotels was the
host the taik turned on the perfection
of modern hotel management The
manager boasted of the fact that in
his house at least the clerks were para
gons of memory and cleverness
Yet I will bet the cigars said one
of the gue ts that exactly at mid
night when the clerks change I having
no room here can walk to the desk
ask for the key of a certain room giv
ing the number and get it
Done said the manager
Exactly at 12 the man making the
bet entered the lobby as if he had just
come from the street This dialogue
followed at the desk
My key please No 7G
Yes sir what name
Mr Johnson
Yes Mr Johnson
The clerk turned back to the desk
as if to reach the key from the rack
For a moment he was out of sight of
Mr Johnson
Then to Mr Johnsons dismay he
was quietly seized by two men who
seemed to come up from the floor on
either side of him and who asked him
very politely but with firmness to
leave the hotel at once
It was then that the manager ap
peared from behind a pillar and ex
plained
A few moments later when they
were smoking the cigars the chagrined
loser said
Well thats a wonderful thing
How the deuce do they remember
everybody they see
Easy enough said the manager
and then in this particular case there
isnt a room in the house numbered
below 100
The loser bought more cigars with
out being asked New York Times
The Biter Bit
An old Lowlander had been persist
ently asked by his son who was doing
very well in London to pay him a
visit Having at length decided to
comply he spent a fortnight in the
metropolis and duly returned nortli to
tell the tale A pompous person invit
ed him to his house soon after the old
mans return with a view to having
some amusement at the latters ex
pense And what was it that most
impressed you in the great city
asked the pompous gentleman Weel
sir quoth the old fellow the thing
abune a that impressed me maist was
my ain insigueeficance Deed sir I
wad strongly advise ye to gang it

MARK TWAINS CHILDREN
A Case Where Attempted Punishment
Proved a Hopeless Failure
Ordinary punishments answered very
well for Susy She was a thinker and
would reason out the purpose of them
apply the lesson and achieve the re
form required But it was much less
easy to devise punishments that would
reform Clara This was because she
was a philosopher who was always
turning her attention to finding some
thing good and satisfactory and enter
taining In everything that came her
way Consequently It was sometimes
pretty discouraging to the troubled
mother to find that after all her pains
and thought in inventing what she
meant to be a severe and reform com
polling puulhhment the child had en
tirely missed the severities through her
native disposition to get Interest and
pleasure out of them as novelties The
mother In her anxiety to find a pen
alty that would take sharp hold and
do its work effectively at last resorted
with a sore heart and with a reproach
ful conscience to that punishment
which the incorrigible criminal in the
penitentiary dreads above all the other
punitive miseries which the warden in
llicts upon him for his good solitary
confinement in the dark chamber The
grieved and worried mother shut Clara
up in a very small clothes closet and
went away and left her there for fif
teen minutes It was all that the moth
er heart could endure Then she came
softly back and listened listened fo
the sobs but there werent any there
were muffled and inarticulate sounds
but they could not be construed into
sobs The mother waited half an hour
longer By that time she was suffering
so intensely with sorrow and compas
sion for the little prisoner that she was
not able to wait any longer for the dis
tressed sounds which she had counted
upon to inform her when there had
been punishment enough and the re
form accomplished She opened the
closet to set the prisoner free and take
her back into her loviug favor and for
giveness but the result was not the
one expected The captive had manu
factured a fairy cavern out of the
closer and friendly fairies out of the
clothes hanging from the hooks and
was having a most sinful and unre
pentant good time and requested per
mission to spend the rest of the day
there From Mnrk Twains Autobiog

INDIAN PROVERBS
The coward shoots with shut eyes
Small things talk loud to the Indians
eye
The palefaces arm is longer than his
word
When a fox walks lame the old rab
bit jumps
A squaws tongue runs faster than
the winds legs
There is nothing so eloquent as a
rattlesnakes tail
The Indian scalps his enemy The
paleface skins his friends
Two men will live together in quiet
and friendship but two squaws never
When a man prays one day and
steals six the Great Spirit thunders
and the evil one laughs
There are three things it takes a
strong man to hold a young warrior
a wild horse and a handsome squaw

Lively In the Tenements
A young woman new to mission work
on the east side New York was lately
moved to comment sadly upon the
monotonous and cheerless existence of
