PREFERENCES AND WAYS OF WELL
KNOWN PASSENGERS.
Blandest Jmy Oonld, the Tiro Fields and
Banwell Sitt-Vomen't Ways Funny
I Ways or the Absent Minded A Pecul
iar Physical Effect
Some of the best known men in town have
tedded preferences and characteristic ways
when they get aboard a train. Gen. Grant
always used to try to get the first seat in the
first car, and he would sit watching the engi
neer with the utmost interest. Some of his
friends thought that he took that seat to
escape staring eyes, but it wasn't so. for be
once said that it seemed marvelous to him
how an engineer could, by just a little touch
that called for no appareut exertion, control
a traiu so quickly, and he liked to watch him
doit.
When Jay Gould takes a train, as he very
often does, he iinks into the first vacant seat
be sees, and seems as diffident and shy as a
young lover. He must know that men are
constantly pointing him out to one another,
bat he appear never to notice it. His son
frequently ride with him, but thoysay but
little to each other. Mr. Gould always seems
to be in a brown study, and no one would
think that he notices anything that is going
on. But the traiu men now know that he
sees everything, and makes a mental note of
such things as bethinks worth suggesting to
Mr. Haiti. He always has a pleasant word
for such train men as he knows.
DAVID DCDLEV FIELD.
David Dudley Field seems never to tire of
looking out at the rapidly changing panorama
of front windows. He frequently will ride
down town or up town, for he walks one way
each day, without taking his eyes from the
outside spectacle. Cyrus W. Field, on the
other hand, always looks through ttie car to
aeoif there K any one on board whom be
knows. He usually finds some one, and then
talks in his voluble, earnest and sometimes
impassioned maimer. Everybody with whom
Mr. Field talks seems to be greatly interested,
for he is one of the few men who talk much,
rapidly and earnestly, who does not bore.
Russell Sago, on the other hand, who can
tump, in excited momenta, the expertest
stenographer, devotes his fifteen minutes on
be derated to the daily papers. Sage reads
the mat ket reports through, glances with the
quick eye of an exchange reader at the head
lines of the uows items, runs over the editor
ial page like a toboggan on a chute, and then
dashes the paper nervously on the floor. He
frequently thus goes through three or four
papers on a trip, and the conductor on his
ear usually gets the daily papers for nothing.
Nine wotiimi out of ten sit on the edge of
the seat, as though getting ready to jump in
case anything happens, and you can always
tell the first time anybody is riding by the
straineJ, frightened look he assumes, and his
nervous clutching at the seat railing. Ele
vated trains are seldom used for pleasure
trips. Everybody who ride has some busi
ness in view or home to reach at the terminus,
but there was one couple who rode from Har
lem to the Battery for pleasure. A young
fellow who hab a small truck farm near Tre
mont was married, and he wanted to take a
little honeymoon. He couldn't spare the time
to go to Coney island, and he hadn't been be
low Harlem bridge, nor bad his bride, for
some years. Neither of thein had ever seen
the elevated road, and so they decided to take
their wedding trip on it. After they were
married they drove to Harlem bridge and
there took the train to the Battery. They
wandered around awhile, went to a restaurant
and had some oysters, and then returned,
content and delighted. That trip meant as
much for them as Niagara or Washington
does for others, and it cost lew. than a dollar.
Gatemen have often funny experiences
with absent minded persons. At the Park
place station not long ago a man bought a
ticket and received some change. He had a
newly lighted cigar between his fingers. As
he passed through the gate he threw the cigar
into the ticket box, the change into the spit
toon, and put the ticket bet w een bis lips. The
gateman first thought he was drunk or crazy,
and he spoke sharply to the man. It was a
perfect case of absent miudedness. The man
when spoken to started as though awakened
from sleep, and was both mortified and as
tonished when the gateman pointed to the
smoking stump in the ticket box and to the
ticket between his lips. Then the change
was fished out of the spittoon. He had in
tended, of course, to toss the cigar away, put
the ticket in the box and the change in his
pocket. I shall walk off the dock yet," he
said, "and think I am on the way to my
office.''
A PECULIAR EFFECT.
A peculiar effect of riding on the elevated
which trainmen have noticed is that it seems
to neutralize the effect of alcoholic stimulant;
Not of course, in every case, but in very
many. Many times men havo boarded the
train with wobbling legs and head, so far
gone as to make it doubtful whether they
should be permitted to ride, but the employes
say that in nine cases out of ten a ride, say
from the Battery to Fifty-ninth street, will
straighten a man out as thoroughly as a cold
bower bath, and men who could hardly
walk when they boarded the train often get
up and leave the car -without any visible ef
fect of their potations in their walk. There
is one effect which the employes aways
dread, and that is the motion of the train
always tends to put a man with any alcohol
in him to sleep. If they get thoroughly
asleep, which the conductors try not to per
mit, the awakening is generally a great nuis
ancenot because the sleepy one is ugly, but
because he is very tired. Nor s this restora
tive effect of riding on the endless bridge
unknown to others than the employes. A
very well known man, formerly a politician
of much influence, always makes it a point,
when be has dined too well, to go to the near
est station on the elevated, take a seat in the
corner of the car, rest his chin on his bosom,
and sleep. In half an hour, he says, he is as
fresh as when be awakes in the morning.
Employes say that life on the road bos one
curious effect upon their bodies. It makes
flesh, especially in the abdominal tegion. As
one gateman put it, the living skeleton him
self would get fat here, if he stayed a year.
Many of the employes when they began ser
vice were slender men, but those who have
been any length of time on the road, either at
the station or on the trains, find themselves
gaining flesh. It is their belief that the con
stant jarring and vibration is the cause of
this, and as railway engineers almost invari
ably grow stout, there is probably some
truth in it.
One of the mo-t trying incidents of life on
the elevated is the attempt to eat Many of
the employes have to snatch their meals be
tween stations, and it is a wonder it doesn't
make them all dyspeptics. I was riding up
one evening, after the rush was over, from
Rector street, and the brakeman, as soon as
we started, opened his basket. He was a
man of some humor, and be said to me,
"Now for a fever and ague supper. It gives
me the shakes to eat it, but it's either eat now
or go hungry till midnight." New York Sun.
SCENERY IN COLORADO.
Rocky Heizhts, Treeless Mountains and
Adobe Settlements A Znnl Village.
There is no occasion to describe in detail
the scenery along a route which is traveled
by hundreds daiU, and which has often been
portrayed by abler pens than mine. It was
all very new and strange to our eastern eyes.
In Colorado wo saw a rocky height sur
mounted by a great castle at least this
illusion seemed almost perfect. Climbing
Raton pass was like visiting another planet,
all was so novel. Then followed in swift
succession strange looking, treeless moun
tains, Mexican settlements with their adobe
houses, as we descended into wide grassy
plains called uvegas. At the point where
the road passes near the Arkansas river the
cattle seem innumerable. Vast herds were
cropping the "bunch grass" on every side un
til the animals became mere dots in the dis
tance. The genuine cowboy was to be seen
at the stations and his revolver was conspicu
ous. Far to the right we caught glimpses of
Pike's Peak, and further on still was a vast
range of snowy mountains, which iu the dis
tance gave a vivid impression of a marble
city. Again, the marvelous volcanic forma
tions of rock, red as blood, would approach
near our line of travel. In a sheer precipice
of great height, stretching beyond the range
of vision, we saw the Palisades of the Hud
son; then an enormous fort with its bastions
would appear; next a brick warehouse that
Blight shelter the merchandise of a state. At
on time we all exclaimed at the illusion of a
grand cathedral, with its Gothic entrance
M batti i J walk. -
My chief regret was that we had to pass in
the night so much that was as unramiliar as
if it belonged to another planet The desire
to leave the train at some points and examine
at leisure various objects of interest wan al
most irresistible. It was fairly exasperating
to be whirled by a Zuni Indian village, for
the wish to see one's self the strange homes
and stranger life within them was strong in
deed. Canyon Diablo has been well termed
"that hideous crack in the face of the world."
It is a thing to come hack to one again in a
nightmare. Indeed for a long time the whole
visage of nature had borne the imprint of
spent, yet fiery, passion, the terrible traces of
which kindly time can never remove. It was
pleasant, indeed, after leaving the infernal
looking canyon far liehind to enter the fine
forests near Flagstaff, to see the young moon
creating the familiar lights and shadows upon
the snow, and, above all, to catch the home
gleam from cottage windows. E. P. Roe in
Inter Ocean.
Almee and the Bracelet.
"People in this business ofteu witness
strange occurrences," said a clerk at out ut
the prominent Broadway jewelry stores. -For
instance, when Aimee was at the height of
her popularity here, some of the presents sent
her were fit gifts for queen. One day 1
showed Aimee and a friend of hers a diamond
bracelet that took Mine. Aimee'seyes at once.
It was not that the diamonds were large, but
because they were exqusitely set We had
received it that day from Europe."
'"What is the price of thatT asked Aimee.
"I told her it was tl.'JOU. She looked at it
a long time and then they went away."
"A week after that Aimee came into the
store alone. She asked to see the bracelrt
again and I showed it to her. Shu held it up
in her dainty fingers and seemed fascinated
by it"
"Won't you sell it for less than $l,2U0r she
asked; "it seems to me that is rather high.''
"I assured her that the price was very low,
which it was. She hesitated for several min
utes, and then, with a shrug of her pretty
shoulders, she said:
"My friend says be will buy it for me if he
can get it for 61,000. If I pay you the 300
difference will you tell him that the price has
been reduced to $l,(XX)r
"I told her that would be satisfactory to the
firm, and with a sigh 6he took out her pocket
book and banded me two brand new $100
notes. The next day the gentleman called,
accompanied by another friend, and asked
for the bracelet"
"Very handsome," said the friend. "Did I
understand you intended it for Aimee?"
"Yes, I promised it to her."
"H'm!' said his coniiianiou.
"It bcenis to me that bracelet would look
much better on your wife's arm.
"The other seemed struck by this remark
and bis brons contracted. He struggled
with" himself for a while and then he said
quietly:
"You're right, old loy."
. "The bracelet was sent to his wife said
Aimee was out $300. I never heard what she
said about her loss." New York World.
He Strnrk It Klrb.
A miner in Leodville, Colo., who can
neither read nor write, is worth to-day at
least $3,000,000. Four years ago he hadn't a
penny, except what he earned from day to
day as a miner. His name is John L. Mor
rissey. Ho is about 32 years old. The Crow n
Point mine, like Tom Bowen's Golconda, was
just about paying expenses. Her owners of
fered to sell her for $40,000. Morrissey went
to Chicago and interested Diamond Joe Rey
nolds in the matter. Reynolds knew that
Morrissey was an authority on mining, even
if be couldn't write his name. He finally pur
chased the Crown Point, agreeing to give
Morrissey half interest after the original sum
was repaid. Within thirty days they struck
a vein of first class ore that has yielded them
a monthly income of $18,000 apiece. Thero
is said to be $5,000,000 worth of ore in sight.

Lincoln and the Londoner.
A witty retort sometimes answers quite as
well as a long argument There arc some
things not easy to explain, and no better an
swer could have I teen made to the English
man criticising our social customs than that
Blade by Mr. Lincoln:
"You see, sir. there Ls a tremendous differ
ince between the English customs and the
American. For example, no gentleman in
England,1 remarked the Londoner, "would
ever think of blacking bis own boots, don't
you know."
"Wouldn't he!" inquired Mr. Lincoln,
thoughtfully. "Why, whose 'would he

An Actress Secret.
One often hears of the "actress' art," mean
ing the art of preserving one's personal ap
pearance. No woman in the country can
look at Maggie Mitchell and say that she is
not well preserved. She is, well, beyond o0;
yet her arm is as plump, her bust as full, and
her animation as great as twenty-five years
ago. Why; Because as Miss Mitchell says,
she never had a care iu her life. Her mode
of life has always Iieen exemplary in its reg
ularity and simplicity, and she has never
known the effects of late hours or the wear
ing fatigue of receptions, as they are known
to society women. Under present conditions
Maggie Mitchell, ten years hence, will be as
lively and vivacious as she is now. Pioneer

Gen. Dorbin Ward's Sword.
In his will the late Gen. Durbin Ward gave
to his niece, Ella Ward, the jewel mount d
sword which had been presented to him by
the privates of his old regiment He enjoins
her that she shall "deliver it to her eldest son,
should she ever be blessed with one, and if
he should die, to the next oldest in succession,
and with it the charge never to draw it in a
bad cause, and to never leave it sheathed
should a good one require its aid, and com
mand him also to send it down to posterity to
the eldest sou in the direct line so long as any
Ward blood can wield a sword, until that
blessed time shall come when all swords shall
be beaten into ploughshares." New York

Chinese in California.
E en now. when much of this old lawless
element has been cleared out, the Chinese here
cannot be taken as fair types of their race
any more than the wretched Hungarians and
Italians landed under contract at Castle Gar
den can bo said to represent the people of
Kossuth and Mazzini. They are the stum of
the nation, because emigration is something
that the well born Chinese looks upon in the
same light as the Irishman of good family.
It means expatriation, and among people
like the Chinese, who make veneration for
ancestors a part of their religion, it is re-sort'-d
to only when the old country denies
them safety or support. George H. Fitch in

Don't Try on Clothes.
"I have quit trying on clothes at my
tailor's," spoke most decidedly a gentleman
of fashion. "It's time lost The best way is
to try on the suit after it is finished, then
whatever alterations ought to be made can be
made to a certainty. As it is now you are
measured all over, then you goto try on the
suit while it is basted, but ten chances to one
when it is made up it doesnt fit any better
than if you had never lost your time trying
it on. Tell your tailor you wui't try on your
suit, and my word for it you'll bo the gainer."

PIIASE OF CLUB LIFE.
THE IDIOSYNCRASIES OF VARIOUS
TYPICAL MEMBERS.
Ken Who Are tn be lfeaad In Kvery
Clahaanse The Growler, the Gasslper
aad the Newspaper Fleas' Other Queer
Ones.
The idiosyncrasies of members form
comical phase to club life. A prominent type
is the constitutional "growler," and his oppo
site the easy going, good natured man who is
delighted with everything. Generally grow
lers are the most numerous. They are never
satisfied with anything, though while com
plaining they never sucgest remedy. The
"growler" never makes any allowance for
mistakes or accidents. His chief grievance
concerns the waiters, who are slow, careless,
stupid. His orders are always filled contrary
to his directions, yet investigation reveals
that if there was any carelessness it was bis,
own in not giving explicit instrnctioaa. He
can always get everything be want much
better and cheaper outside of the club. He
continually threatens to resign, but never
does. He regularly predicts the decline and
dissolution of the club. He soon alienates the
fraternal esteem of the better class of mem
bers, and the others quietly make a butt of
him, and he takes their good humored defer
ence to his sadly ventilated ideas. as an evi
dence of his popularity and importance. Of
course they are only "guying" him, as Adonis
would say.
The good natured apologist k an offset to
the growler, and at the same time as much of
a common nuisance, as he always sounds the
same indiscriminate praises, and only needs
an audience to deliver a little oration on this
or that subject that happens to be under dis
cussion. In his opinion the club is the best
and pleasantest in the world. The gossiper
or chatterbox is, of course, found in the
clulks. but he is more speedily extinguished in
the little community than in the village by a
general censure. As long as he confines him
self to detailing the scandals in other dubs or
of society be generally has a following whom
be amuses and interests by bis recitals, which
are invariably inaccurate. His tendency,
however, leads him to recur to jocular scenes
in the club which by tacit consent all the
participants seek to keep private, and so he
involves himself in explanations which gen
erally result in hie reform arous prudential
motives or hk resignation because be has
moro enemies than friends in the club. When
he contracts the nngentlemaaly and knavish
habit of overhearing conversations and after
ward alluding to the subject be wears a rope
w hich soon figuratively hangs him.
"THE NEWSPAPER FIBSD."
There is also the "newspaper flend," who
selfishly gathers all the papers or latest maga
zines about him. The disputatious member,
who always disagrees, k soon so emphatically
"-sat down upon" that he subsides. The man
who seeks to back all of his assertions or to
settle all questions by bets k generally en
trapped by the sportive, jocular element, so
that he soon learns wisdom and prudence.
The membership may lie divided into three
classes, the sedate, the conventional, and the
progressive in the younger clubs, and into
two iu the more orthodox clubs, the conser
vative and the progressive. As a rule mem
bers frequent their clubs for social recrea
tion, to commune with their friends therein,
to read the papers or magazines, to while
away the time in the billiard or card room,
and each develops an individuality that is
soon recognized, so that it is safe to predict
just what chair he will occudv, what course
be will take on coming in, whether he will
seek the seclusion of the library or the "life"
of the billiard room, which k generally the
liveliest place in the club. The various
coteries of the little community always offer
association. These coteries are dull or
vivacious according to their personality.
There is always a circle about the raconteur.
In the clubs where there are pianos there Ls
generally singing and playing in the evening.
The piano is not permitted in the orthodox
clubs. It savors of the concert ball. There
is of ten some very good playing ami singing
at these impromptu musicales. The choruses
are especially stirring. For the time the
musical coterie rules, but they seldom liecome
objectionable, unless to the chronic growler.
The accommodations enable each coterie to
keep to themselves if so disposed that is,
those who wish quiet can secure it in the
library or parlors. There k generally a com
mon resort, and there the piano k generally
situated, and hquid refreshments are served.
General goodfellowship prevails here. The
stories are told for the edification of alL The
conventional nndertone of general conversa
tion is not observed. Every one talks pro
bono publico, or at all events thinks be does.
If there is any musical talent it Ls developed.
Everybody is pleased at the informal gather
ing except the growler. He k unceremoni
ouslv mode the butt of the crowd.
THE MAN OF MUCH HAIU
There is oue other member who always re
ceives a good natured shot from all whom he
offends. He k the one who has so large a
mail that the box bearing hk initiate k al
ways crowded with his letters. As a rule, the
mail in a club k comparatively light con
sidering the membership, as only the limited
number of frequenting members have their
letters addressed there. The letter fiend k
the companion of the newspaper fiend. He k
generally a retired business man, and not a
literary member, as might be supposed. Not
withstanding the check system-there k al
ways some good natured dispute about ex
changed hats and umbrellas, and once in a
while the overcoats get mixed generally
after delivery and strange documents are
found in the pockets the next morning. The
near sighted men do not make the absurd
mistakes that are generally attributed to them,
but they contribute their quota to the general
amusement by their unconscious blundering.
The men with bad memories for names and
faces create more trouble. They always get
everything wrong. They often cause much
confusion by their mistakes. The married
men are the steadiest attendants outside of
the habitues. It k calculated that during the
first year of married bliss nothing will be seen
of the member, but after that he comes
around again, and k once more one of the
boys. Thk, however, k a legend. The prac
tical joker does not flourish m the club as in
the community at large because hk range is
comparatively limited. He k soon found out
and avoided.
Another amusing phase of club life k the
comical tendencies of some in chipping to
gether and ordering meals. The figuring of
these to reduce their expenses border on the
absurd. The miser k, of course, not found in
the dub. The spendthrift generally runs hk
limit and gets posted.' The lesson does him
good. If he k incorrigible he k soon dropped
for uon payment The uninitiated either be
lieve the club to be a resort of riotous living
or a slow and dull resort, attractive only be
caase it k exdusive; but it k neither a little
community with a common cause, with the
usual types of character, excepting the de
praved. New York Times.
Stanford aad Stoekbrldca.
Senator Stanford k looking forward with
great pleasure to meeting Senator-elect
Stockbridge, of Michigan. He learned yes
terday that Stockbridge was an admirer of
hk famous horse Electioneer. The way be
learned it was a little peculiar. Some time
ago Martin, 8enator Stanford's manager at
the famous Palo Alto farm in California,
where, besides Electioneer, then are thirty
other magnificent stallions, advised the sen
ator that he had sold two fine 3-year-old stal
lions for $5,000 apiece. Thk was a good
price, but the senator did not think it was
enough, and telegraphed asking if the sal
was absolute. Martin answered that it was,
and, furthermore, that on hk asking the pur
chaser if be insisted on taking the horses, hk
only answer was a draft by wire for $1,000
to bind the bargain. "The buyer knows
bones," added Martin. "He's that new sen
ator from Michigan.''
Senator Stanford bass colt born to him

and he never selk an animal for leas than
$1,000. When be selk be gives a printed

GREELEY'S ODDITIES.
BY NO MEANS AS ECCENTRIC AS
HE SEEMED TO BE.
fh Rays the Teteraa Journalist, Joe
Howard, Jr. Foar Instance From
Which the Reader Can Draw What
aver Inferences Ha Chooses.
Who can forget Horace Greeley's affecta
tions of eccentricity
He was by no manner of means the fool ho
assumed to be. That he was ambitious, anx
ious for for public favor and fond of money,
open to adultation and flattery, who that
knew hk life would presume to deny! How
then can hk affectations of dress, for they'
were affectations, be accounted for, save on
the theory of an unbalanced mind? Did it
ieem reasonable that a man after years of
metropolitan life, at the head of a great, and
at the time, the greatest journal in America,
associating with the first men of hk time,
identified with all broad movements in the
interest of hk fellowmen could, unless by
accident, make a guy of himself, morning,
noon and night, unless he did it with intent!
I recall four illustrations of intentional
affectation on the part of Horace Greeley.
The first was in Sacramento, CaL A large
audience had assembled to hear him s)vuk,
and he was detained on the road. On arrival
be was driven to the St George hotel, and
hurried to a room that be might partake of
some refreshment and dress before hk lecture.
The- impatience of the audience was assuaged
by the announcement that Mr. Greeley was
adjusting hk toilet, and making himself com
fortable after a long and tedious stage ride.
He reached the hall at 0 o'clock.
Was he dressed! Howl
Precisely as when he left the stage coach.
He had not washed hk face nor hk hands.
He hadn't changed a single article of hk at
tire, from coat to shirt, from collar to boots.
Absolutely covered with dust, with cravat
wry, with collar dirty and rumpled, with
shirt front disarranged, with unpolished
boots, he shambled into the ball, and up the
long aisle, until, standing on the platform,
dirty, ill-kempt, unattractive, he faced on
audience mainly of New England men and
women, each arrayed in accordance with
decorum.
What was that!
Eccentricity, oddness not only, but an af
fectation of the extremity of each.
On another occasion, in Paris, he, as a del
egate from the United States to the great
exposition, was notified to meet hk fellow
delegates in a siicciiied salon. Mr. Greeley
and Erustus Brooks, another delegate, arrived
in advance of the others. Mr. Brooks, who
was the very personification of neatness and
trimuess, noticed that Mr. Greeley's trousers
were hitched up over the leg of hk boot, and
at soiiio personal inconvenience having called
hk attention to it, kneeled and adjusted the
garment. Later on in the reception room,
where the delegates from all countries had
met for a formal presentation, imagine the
disgust and annoyance cf Mr. Brooks when
he saw that Mr. Greeley luid redisarranged
his trousers, so that the bottoms of them still
rested upon the legs of hk boots.
What was that!
Years after that I had occasion to call on
Mr. Greeley in hk home, relative to matters
in Washington. He was ill and in bed. The
bedstead was placed across the corner of the
room. In the center was a revolving book
case, against which rested a long mirror.
Articles of dothing were strewn about the
floor and iutensest confusion dominated the
place. Mr. Greeley was not seriously ill, but
by the advice of hk physician kept hk bed
several days. So far as confusion, mal
arrangemeut and upsidedownativeness were
concerned, that bedroom capped the climax.
Was that intentional!
BIS NECKTIE AWRV.
The statue of Benjamin Franklin was set
up some time after then in Printing House
square, immediately in front of The Tribune
bunding. A committee on arrangements
provided places on the programme for Pro
fessor Morse, Mr. Greeley and others. We
were all to meet in The Tribune edi tonal
rooms and go in procession to the statue. It
was a memorable occasion, and every man
paid such respect to the proprieties as could
be indicated by demeanor and costume. Mr.
Greeley walked down the stairs arm in arm
with Professor Morse, with the collar of hk
overcoat turned inwards, hk necktie awry
and one leg of his trousers hitched up on top
of hk boot.
Was that intentional or accidental!
Horace Greeley was a man packed with affec
tations. I always believed hk eccentricities to
be assumed because they were such palpable
contradictions of all that he saw about him,
of all he learned of hk unusual attrition with
men of the world. He was proud of the
oddity he presented. It gratified bim to be
pointed out as peculiar, as distinct in hk per
sonality from hk fellows. An evidence of
weakness you think! Why certainly an evi
dence of weakness in one of the greatest, one
of the grandest men known to American
history. He would have been a brave man
who dared pronounce Horace Greeley insane
by reason of these peculiar developments,
and yet it k difficult to reconcile hk unques
tioned ability, his world wide experience, hk
rare power of thought, hk competency in
argument, with these petty developments of
vanity and of self satisfaction. When you
come to think of it you will find evidence of
eccentricity in nearly all the men and women
of prominence you ever heard of. Joe How

The Terrible Heel Fly.
Mr. J. T. HiU, of Red Fork, L T., one of
the oldest cattle shippers in the country,
speaking of the heel fly and toe way it affects
cattle, said: "The heel fly k an insect dosely
resembling the yellow horsefly in everything
except color, the former insect being black.
They sometimes appear in great swarms
among the herds, and sting the cattle in the
leg or heeL depositing eggs under the skin.
Thk would seem a small matter, but it sets
the cattle perfectly wild, and it k impossible
to hold a herd when thk fly k about They
rush around as if mad under the intolerable
torture, and I have seen them spring over a
forty foot bank in order to get into muddy
water, which seems to be the only thing that
can give them relief. They lose flesh rapidly
when the fly k bad, and readily succumb to
the slightest indisposition. Thk fly k a pest
for which there seems to be no remedy."

THE JERSEY LILY.
THE REASON
TRY WENT
WHY MRS. LANG"
ON THE STAGE.
I
!
Why She Separated from Her Hathaad.
Her Friendship for Freddy Gebhard.
' A Laudable Desire to Get Kleh Fa-
ture Prospects.
Mr. Charles Mendum, who for two years
was the private and intimate business mana
ger of Mrs. Langtry, does not believe that
tho Lily will marry Mr. Fred Gebhard for
some time to come.
"When Mrs. Langtry has all the money in
her own right and name that she wants,"
said Mr. Mendum, "then she may marry."
. "Her whole idea k to become independently
well off and possem a fortune she has made
by her own exertions. Rich as Fred Geb
hard k, she would not be satisfied to divide
hk money. What she wants k her own. Sho
bos but two great dreads in life one k get
ting old and the other k to be poor and old.
She often said to me, and it was evidently,
therefore, an idea that stuck to her: "I want
a half a million securely invested so that I
cannot lose it Then I shall leave tho stage
and devote myself to myself. Until then
nothing shall swerve me to this side or that"
! Mr. Mendum thinks the Lily now has from
$a-jO,000 to $400,000 put aside nil of it pretty
nearly in American mortgages. At first she
i sent her money to England for investment
' about $T9,000 of it After that she got an
I America!i lawyer and began ber American
' investments, which, all of them, bring ber
t from 3 to C per cetit fully double the interest
she would get in h-iigluiid.
"I was in the parlor car," went on Mr.
Mendum, "with my wifo the whole time that
Fred Gebhard traveled iu it Mrs. Langtry
and ho would meet at meals, but generally iu
tho daytime she would retire to her own
drawing room. Sometimes, when she was iu
good humor we would all play cards to
gether for small stakes. The fact is, she soon
found the value of Gebhard as an advertise
ment, and humored him accordingly. Love
bim, no. There was never the slightest indi
cation of even interest in him so far as I
could see. You can always leave those things
to a woman, and my wife was of precisely the
same opinion as I wax.
'He was always ery polite and deferen
tial, and never attempted the slightest famil
iarity. Ho never ;;ave her a present during
the whole time liu traveled with us, but every
night ho sent her a bouquet. It did not mat
ter where we were, bu always managed to
hae the bouquet on hand. Sometimes he
had to have them sent from other cities.
These bouquets usually decoruted the break
fust table the next morning."
"How about the likelihood of a divorcer'
asked tho reporter.
'Thero was no likelihood wheu I was with
her, and she evidently appeared satisfied with
the mutually agreed ujkjii separation that had
taken place lntuL-vu bet-self and her husband.
He had promised never to come near her. On
oue occasion it was rejwrted that he was very
ill and she showed a great deal of emotion a
surprising demonstration on the part of so
absolutely cold a woman. It k thk coldness
that settles iu my mind the story that she has
fallen in love with Fred Gebhard. It k quite
possible, however, that some understanding
has been arrived at alout a divorce. She has
not seen her husband for several years and
their separation has lastad now for more than
live. I suppose, therefore, a divorce might be
obtained without trouble. It k quite certain
tliat the old affair is off forever.
ul remeinlvr Mrs. Luiitry telling me the
facts of tlih separation and they are rather
curious. The Imgtrys had been in Loudon
society for several years, and while money
had boon a)in out ulnolutely nothing offered
itself wheiebysometuuig would come in. At
last Mr. Iniry becaino desperate. Her so
cial snevesses hail been very great iu London,
but thesa very successes cost a great deal of
money. At length it came to the time when
only a few hundred pounds were left Mr.
Langtry had leen doing nothing and she had
been urging him to find some business that
would give him a maintenance. She got a
sum from her father, and with what she al
icady had secured enough to buy an interest
iu the phonograph, then a great invention
and generally believed to be practical. With
tho money sho had purchased an interest in
the instrument for saverol of the counties,
aud Mr. Langtry went down to Bradford, I
think it was, to work it. She waited for one,
two and three weeks to hear from him, but
not a word came.
"Finally she determined on a trip down to
Bradford to see what had become of the pho
nograph and Mr. Langtry. She got there,
and to ber amazement found that not a thing
had been done, that the phonograph had not
even beeu started on its career, and that all
the money Mr. Langtry had with him was
gone with his boon companions. Bitter re
criminations ensued and they parted forever.
The following week Mrs. Langtry accepted
an engagement from the Kendalls to play at
30 a week. She crowded the Haymarket
theatre. Then they wanted her to go on a
tour through the country at the same price,
but she saw that if she could draw in London
she could draw still better in the provinces,
so she went on her own hook. She played to
the biggest money ever known in the large
centers. She was anxious, however, $ get
to America, and wanted badly an American
manager. Someltody suggested Henry E.
Abbey, and by pure luck be fell into a tre
mendous success, but one which he worked
up beautifully."
"Do you believe Mrs. Langtry will marry
Gebhard;"
"I don't know. Who can tell the mind of a
woman.' But if Fred Gebhard gets her he
will get one of the finest women alive." New
York Journal.
Method In this 3XadneM
There fc posibly some method in Anglo
mania, after all, like certain other forms of
madi:es.t I have been led to look upon the
perfect dude, the incredible American imita
tion of the low bred Englishman, who has
grown unfortunately common hero in Boston,
with a new appreciation since I read a frag
ment of dialogue from a Paris paper at the
club yesterday. This journal goes on to des
cribe a certain Bobinard, who, it says, has
taken to passing himself oft as an English
man whenever he finds himself in public
places. " Why this extraordinary freak,
Bobinard f" asks a friend; "why Anglicize
yourself in this fashion f "Simply to get
along," answers Bobinard, "without the
necessity of being polite." Philosophy thefe,
to be sure ! Constant politeness requires' a
good deal of solicitude, a good deal of wear
and tear of nerve force, there's no denying it
And to be quite out of the way of being ex
pected to be polite must be a very considem
blo relief to those to whom it dosn't "come
natural." Boston Post.
Women Who Have Cold Feet.
The woman who wears a shoe larger than
a No. 4 never has cold feet at least she never
complains if they are cold. It is the woman
wearing a No. 3 or smaller size that baa cold
feet in public. Among a score of women
the only ones who called attention to the sise
of their feet on account of the cold were those
whose pedal extremities would be noticeable
for their shapeliness. Pioneer Press.
Horses Wanted la England.
Englishmen declare that their country is
absolutely unable to supply the number of
middle class horses that would be required in
case of a war. and the question as to the
means of supplying the possible demand is
being agitated. The exportation of horses
has been forbidden from continental countries
which have anything to spare, and it is de
manded that immediate steps be taken to pro
cure 20,000 head, if necessary, to be procured
from America. Chicago Tribune.
