AH but the Right One.
Judge A. M. Reiley used to nar-
rate that, while on the bench in
the international court at Cairo,
after a witness whose nationality
was a puzzle had been addressed
in French, Spanish, German,
Portuguese, Italian and Arabic,
and failed to make any response
except by shaking his head that
he did not understand, Judge Kei-
ley turned to a brother judge and
remarked sutto voice, "I Conder
what language the idiot speaks,
anyhow." "The same as yerself,
yer honor,' came from the wit-
ness in the broadest Tipperary
brogue.
Alewives In Common.
A peculiar industry in the town
of Warren, Me., is the catcing of
alewives, which has been follow-
ed since the early history of the
place. The alewives, a species
of shad, go up to the Georges
about this season of the year, and
in attempting to ascend the fish-
way of the lower falls ar-e caught
in dip nets. The alewife catch is
a sort of "community of interest"
among the citizens, and is regu-
lated by law.^ Each head of a
family in town is entitled to 30c
alewives, at the nominal price of
20 cents a hundred. The town
employs men to catch the fish,
and the surplus is sold and the
proceeds turned into the town
treasury.
Only One In Her CTass.
Miss Christine Ross of New
York is the only woman in the
city, if not the United States, who
has held the office of certified
public accountant. She was the
first woman to attempt the ex-
aminations for the place. She
was second on the list of candi-r
dates, being only six-tenths of a
f>0m)t below the mark received by
the ipost successful competitor.
When asked about her duties
Mfi& Ross said to a reporter:
"People, principally women, send
for me from all around to
straighfen their accounts. Char-
itable organizations, which are
managed by women are among
my steady clients.' Few things,
indeed, are more helpless than the
average young society woman
who, from all sorts of good mo-
tives and kindly intentions, at-

Connecticut's Fox Industry.
Connecticut towns have paid
bounties on 1,372 foxes killed
within their limits during the
past year. The state law allows
a bounty of $1 for Rch fox killed
and the state refunds to the town
the ajnouijt paid and al$p allocs
the town treasurer 15 cents for
his services in each case.
Nothing in It
"I never realied until the other
day how easy it would be for an in-
nocent person to be arrested foff
shoplifting," said an Eastern wo-
man of wealth and prominence. I
had gone to a department store for
the purpose of buying an umbrella
for my little grandson, and finally
made my selection, had it charged
and ordered it sent home. I saun-
tered around in the store, going
from one department to another, for
perhaps half an hour, before I dis-
covered that I had unconsciously
carried away an umbrella, one that
I had admired, but didn't like quite
so well as the one I bought. Tlie
thought flashed through my mind:
'Suppose I should be arrested as a
shoplifter.' I hurried back to the
umbrella department, expecting
every minute to feel a detective's
clutch on my arm, perhaps to be
subjeced to the indignity of being
searched. Fortunately, nothing of
the sort occurred, although the girl
to whom I returned the umbrella
told me I had had a narrow escape.
I shall be more careful in the fu-
ture."
A REMARKABLE PROVISION,
In the Will of the late Frederick D. Tap.
pen of the Gallatin National Bank
of New York.
A unique tribute toJ the fidelity,
ability and conservatism with
which the immense trust funds of
The Mutual Life Insurance Com-
pany of New York have been in-
vested and administrated during
the fifty-nine years of its existence
is contained in the last clause of
the will recently filed of the late
Frederick D. Tappen, President of
the Gallatin National Bank of New
York from 1863 to the time of his
death, February 28, 1902. Mr.
Tappen had been a leading figure
in the banking world tor half a
century, and had an international
reputation for his knowledge of
the values of securities and for bis
conservatism in investing the
many hundreds of millions of dol-
lars that came under his direction.
■ He was twice president of the New
York Clearing House Association,
and many times chairman of its
Clearing House Committee. In
every panic that has occured since
the memorable Black Friday of
1869 he had been conspicuous in
all the trying times that have sha-
ken the financial community. At
a meeting of the ]Sew York Clear-
ing House Association held in
memory ot Mr. Tappen March 10,
the Hon. J. Edward Simmons,
president ot the fourth National
Bank, said: "In times of financial
peril he was always regarded as a
wise and conservative counselor,
and on each occasion when loan
certificates were issued—1873,
1884, 1890 and 1893—he, as chair-
man of the Loan Committee, pilo-
ted many a tottering institution
through troubled waters. Who of
us can ever forget the great finan-
cial battle of 1893 and the glori-
ous victory achieved by the asso-
ciated banks of New York under
the brilliant generalship of Mr.
Tappen?"
He was chairman of the Clear-
ing House Loan Committee in
1873, when $26,585,000 of certifi-
cates were issued, in 1881 when
$24,915,000 were issued, and in
1893 when $41,490,000 were issu-
ed.
In the last clause of his will, af-
ter making bequests to his family,
he provides for certain trusts, and
instructs his executors and trus-
tees to invest his estate only in
such securities as are ''included in
the list of investments made by
Tho Mutual Life Insurance Com-
pany of New York, not limiting
my said executors and trustees ei-
ther successors or successor to
such investments only as trustees
are by law authorized to make."
First Woman Photographed.
Dorothy Catherine Draper, the
first woman who ever sat before a
:amera, died at Hastings last month,
in 1839, shortly after Daguerre's
announcement of his discovery of
the action of sunlight on silver, her
tempts to keep the church diet, ' brother, the distinguished John W.
kitchen or day nursery books. If Draper, afterward president of the
she should turn her accounts into
a crock, beat them thoroughly
with the egg whip, season to taste
and bake them in an oven fot
thirty minules the treatment
would be about as sensible as
that which they ordinarily re-
ceive."
His Early Start as an Editor.
Shortly after the present James
Gordon Bennett was born (in
1842) his father started the Sun-
day edition of the New York Her-
ald, at the same time announcing
"James Gordon Bennett, Jr./' as
editor.
New York University Medical col-
lege, made some experiments with
a camera with his sister for a sub-
ject. In order that the impression
might be clearer her face was dusted
with a fine white powder. This
picture is still in existence and is
owned by Lord HeTsehel's heirs, in
England.

Remarkable Coincidence.
A train of coincidences so extr-
ordinary as to Seem incredible
lately happened in a Pennsylvan-
ia family. The members of the
household were sitting at break-
fast one day last month when the
mother read aloud a newspapei
item to the effect that a young
man had fallen ill with typoicJ
fever at the residence-of his fian-
cee, and would be nursed by hei
there for several weeks to come
The son and daughter, who are
both betrothed, laughed heartil)
at this, and their mother, to re-
buke them, said: "Look out
something similar may happen tc
you some day." The daughtei
went the next week to visit the
parents of her intended husband
in a New Jersey village. She
sprained her ankle on the day ol
her arrival and was kept undet
the same roof with her fiance a
fortnight. The son went the fol-
lowing week to a nearby town
to call on his intended wife. He
was conversing with her in the
parlor when bang!—the drum oi
his ear burst, and he is still a pa-
tient in the town, looked aftei
tenderly by the young girl.
THE M. K. & T. FLYER SirVK
A Polo Apollo. «
One of the handsomest men in
New York is George Morgan, tc
whom more than to any othei
person is due the popularity ol
polo in the East. He was "dis-
covered" some twenty-six years
ago in California by JamesGordon
Bennett, who saw him perform
some wonderful feats in the sad-
dle. Then and there the million-
aire newspaper owner engaged
Morgan at a fabulous salary tc
buy polo ponies for him and go
to New York to teach Bennett's
friends how to ride in the game.
Morgan lias been there ever since.

Why Vienna Retires Early.
In Vienna every man's home
is his dungeon from 10 p. m. to
6 a. m. the common entrance dooi
of each blpck is closed and bolted.
•Thereafter persons passing in 01
out must pay a fine of 2d to the
concierage until midnight, and 46
from that hour to 6 a. m. To go
out to post a letter costs 2d, and
the same amount to return. . To
prolong a visit to a friend after 10
p. m. means 2d to get out of his
house and 2d more to tenter yout
own. A natural result of this ir-
ritating tax is that of all capital
cities Vienna is earliest to bed. •
Cats Watch for the Catnip Man.
The weekly visit of the catnip
man is looked forward to with
eagerness by the cats of some of
New York's uptown streets,
through which, on certain days,
a vender carrying a basket of the
herb goes about from one base-
ment door to the other peddling
the luxury that the basement pet
loves so well. The cats seem to
know the day their friend is due,
and prowl about front yards and
areas, looking anxiously up and
down the street for the coming
of the peddler. When he appears
they rush to greet him, purring
and rubbing against his feet.
What Ethan Allen Really Said.
A lecturer on the mistakes of
history says that Ethan Allen did
not utter at the taking of Fort
Ticonderoga the ringing phrase
associated with that event in the
mind of every schoolboy. Instead
of informing the British comman-
der that he demanded the surren-
der of the stronghold "in the
name of the Great Jehova and the
Continental congress,' he shout-
ed, "Come out of that, you old
rat 1"
Odd Claim for Damage SuiL
The sum of $2000 for a disloca-
ted tooth and a jaw put out of
joint is what a woman asked in
damages recently of the Met-
ropolitan Street Railway Com-
pany in the New York supreme
court. She was hit by a baebali
while riding in a Lexington ave-
nue car. She claims that the base-
ball was batted by a railway em-
ploye from in front of the car
barns through the car window.

With tho opening of th<
mer travel-to the north and <•/. ?,
the M. K. &T. management, J<o , -
ing abreast of tho times, has \;* r-
ly improved its service.
The famous "Katy Flyer■r,'7
time between Texas, St Le;: ,
Chicago and all northern and t av -
ern points has been sboKciK.l
from thirty minutes to one hour,
and a new sleeping car line h: s
been established to run bet v.- .1
San Antonio and St Louis by 11; >
way of Ft. Worth, on the uK.-;'y
Flyer," necessitated by tho in-
creased travel.
In addition to the shortening- <>f
the time of tho "Katy Flyer,"
the Kansas City Express, tr;in
No. 2 leaves Texas one hour n: d
fifteen minutes later, arriving ;,t
Kansas City following moruirg
7:30 a. m.
All of the "Katy Flyer," truiiis
have been re-equipped from bag-
gage car to sleeper; 'wido vesti-
bules, Pintsch gas, and north c f
Demson mail cars; the govern-
ment recognizing the fast time tJ
this train and insisting that 1! *
management begin to handle ti.o
United States mail thereon.
The entire M, K. & T. lines in
Texas have been relajtl with new
seventy-five pound steel, an i a
largo amount of ballast placed 111
track and the short gap on the fti.
K. & T. north of Demson, which
was without stone ballast, I:;;h
now been placed on the same high
standard with the rest of tho line.
Phis rock ballast does away with
the dust annoyance and passangefs
via the "Katy Flyer" route ;:ro
assured of a comfortable journe y.
The eating houses on the M. K.
& T. svstem aro too well known
to need commendation, but am
maintained on the same excellei.t
manner as when started threo
years ago—to giv^e a first c!:us
meal for fifty cents; in fact, ninny
improvements haye been made in
the eating bouses, which must be-
seen to be appreciated.

English Wit Too Nimble for Hin'. I
It is not always that American
wit is quicker than that of England.

would have some fun with the

at the town and as the
was pointing out the

Hunting Mozart's Skull.
German scientists arc said to be
searching for the skull of Mozart,
which has been stolen. The story
is that the great composer died
poor and his friends did not even
mark his grave. Only the sexton
knew the grave, and into his hands
the skull fell in a few years. His
son gave it to Jacobus Hyrtl, a
brother of the famous anatomist,
and to his brother it in turn was
passed along. Then it was given
the city of Salzberg, Mozart'* birth-
place. In 1894 the skull disap-
peared ; it was found, but has new
disappeared again.
The Effect Spoiled.
A Philadelphia, preacher tells a
Story of a young man who took his
best girl to church, and when the
time for "collection" came round,
rather ostentatiously displayed a $5
gold piece. Presuming upon the
engagement to marry, that had been
made by. her, the young woman
placed a restraining hand upon the
arm of her fiance. "Why,, don't be
so extravagant, George!" she ex-
claimed. "O11, that's nothing." he
replied. "I always give $5 when I
go to a strange church."
Jufet then the deacon came with
the plate, and George dropped a
coin. Everything seemed favorable,
and the young man beamed with a
sense of generosity. Then the min-
ister made the announcement of the
day's collection. "Tha collection
today," said he, was $3.75." George
hadn't much to say all the way to
his fiance's home.
