Professor Joseph S. Amw, of Johns? Hopkins, made a statement of the discoveries of Roentgen, and -illustrated the X rays. Dr. White, in his address, highly. praLed the progress of Johns Hopkins, and spoke of the extent of lt3 Influence. He warmly defended the diplomatic service. lie said: "What is it that we need?. Is it a man to be ouht an J selected an 1 passed on, and harried with, and sent across the ocean to spe if, perhaps, he can mitigate serious and even disastrous international trouble after it h.is pot under full headway? Ia. it not rather to have a thoroughly trained man on th spot, who fhall foresee trouble, preve.it ir. attenuate it, disperse it, be acquainted with the riffht men, know the ripit means, spak the right word at the richt moment, in the ripht quarter?" Regarding war with Great Britain, Dr. V.'hlte then said: "For all calamities to the world which one can Imagine there could hardly be anything more fearful than a war bftv:een the two Rreat KnRlish-speaking nations. Nothing should be spared to avert such a war. save international righteousness and just position of our country and the respect of its citizens." England's reat International influence was ascribed directly to its able and superbly maintained diplomatic service. America's service should be better paid, respectable establishments maintained abroad and the merit system adopted for all minor positions. WORRIES OF RAILWAYS. Rate Trouble of "Western Honda The Transcontinental Agreement. CHICAGO. Feb. 22. Lines in the Transcontinental Tassenger Association brought a five days' session to a close here this afternoon. It wai the first meeting they have had since their organization was accomplished, and they all agreed that It was the most satisfactory they have ever had. Under former arrangements the freight and passenger associations were combined. In consequence attention was concentrated on freight affairs, to the great neglect of passenger Interests. Under the present arrangements passenger matters get the undivided attention of those having them in charge. The attention of the meeting was largely devoted to routine work relating; to putting the new agreement into practical operation. One of .the most important matters disposed of was the adoption cf a. form of agreement for the local associations to be established at all tho important points throughout the territory of the association. The agreement as adopted is almost identical with that now in force in Western Passenger Association territory. Only such changes as were necessary to meet the local requirements were introduced. Much time was devoted to the circuitous-route evil. A committee was appointed to prepare a plan of abolishing it wherever practicable, and where this is impossible of so limiting the tickets to continuous passage as to reduce the evil to a minimum. Transmissourl and Colorado roads are now holding almost daily conferences on the subject of the Soutnern Pacific invasion of their territory and taking business from It through the medium of cut rates. The utmost unanimity prevails among the roads on the subject of keeping the Southern Pacific out. Whatever difference may exist is In connection with the best means of doing to. tfome of the roads urge radical action and an immediate reduction of California rates. The more conservative, however, deprecate this and will only resort to it in case of urgent necessity. Should the Southern Pacific persist in the course on which it has entered, the cut will be made, however, and that read will be held responsible for the consequences. A committee of the Western, roads ha been appointed to investigate the report on the application of short-line rates to circuitous routes. Through such application the roads lose an immense amount of revenue by the scalping cf rates. The committee has succeeded in having the practice stopped in a number of instances, but still it U much too common to suit the direct lines who are tna greatest sufferers from the evil. A number of roads have recently been required to redeem at full rates blocks of portions of tickets found on the market. The redemption has netted them a loss of from $1 to J5 on every ticket redeemed. They are getting tired of the calls upon them. The redemption clause of the agreement is aiding the committee materially in its work. M.ypnno" to lie Sold Tnesdny. CLEVELAND. O., Feb. 22.

WON'T FIGHT CORBETT

FITZSniMOXS REPLIES TO THE EXCIIA3IP10VS CHALLENGE, He Say "Pomp Jim 3Int First Meet Slnher anil Choynwkl Uobert Get Ilia Ttn-TIionand-DolIar Purse, EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 22. A reporter had a talk with Fltrslmmons about the Corbett challenge on the way in from the Mexican battle ground, this morning, and this is what the champion had to say about it: "I shall completely ignore that fellow Corbett. It was a thousand dollars American money to one cent Mexican coin that 'Pomp. Jim' would get in his oar just as he has. I shall use about the same argument once employed by Charlie Mitchell tell him to go get a reputation. Let him go and whip Peter Maher and Joe Choynski before he opens his head to me. Both. men want to fight him. and I think edther of them can lick him. This .much I shall insist upon: He must first win from .Maher and Choynski before he gets into a ring with me. I whipped with ease the man Corbett presented the championship belt to in order to escape a match with him. To show Corbett how little weight hi championship present carried, I now formally, through the Associated Press, renounce all claim to the belt and refuse to accept it. I am going to Madison-square Garden for the night of Feb. 29, with a half dozen contracts I made conditionally on winning from Maher, and then, with Julian. Stenseler, Rocber and my family. I sail for England." The train bearing the pugilists and sports arrived here at 9 o'clock a. m. Fitzsimmons was met by a monster crowd, and drove directly to the Grand Central Hotel, where he was met by his wife and baby. Poor defeated and cast-down Maher got off the same train and walked to his room in the house of Dr. Albers. Soon after their arrival Fitzsimmons onfl Martin Julian took a carriage and drove to the State National Bank, but found It closed, it being Washington's birthday. The bank officers were found, and they turned over to Fitzsimmons $10.000 $9,000 in currency and $1,000 in gold. The money was counted by Fitzsimmons and Julian. Assistant Cashier Russell asked if the money was all there, and. receiving an affirmative reply, took It back and handed it to M. F. McLean, with the remark: "My part in this Is to turn this money over to Mr. McLean." Mr. McLean, in turn, handed the money to Julian. Then Dan Stuart, who was present, asked: "Gentlemen, have I conducted this affair to please you?" Julian and Fitzsimmons both responded that they were entirely satisfied, and shook hands all round. Fitzsimmons then went to his lion, and to the brute explained Just how it was done. Julian handed the reporter the following: To the Public: "We desire to thank the kind people of Juarez, Mexico, for their kind and courteous treatment of us during the time occupied In training for the fight Just ended. We shall always have pleasant remembrances of the place and its charming' people, from th Governor down. We shall try to square ourselves honorably with the Mexican authorities if they think we have committed any wrong. ROBERT FITZSIMMONS, "MARTIN JULIAN." Mailer's backers are going to challenge Fitzsimmons for another battle for $o,000 a side. It is understood Julian will offer Maher Inducements for a four-round glove contest between Maher and Fitzsimmons at Madison-square Garden, New York, Feb. 29. Maher and his party left tb-nlght over the Texas & Pacific for Pittsburg, and Fitzsimmons and party left over the same road for New York. The question of turning over to Dan Stuart the $5,000 guaranteed him by the citizens of El Paso, in case he brought on the MaherFitzsimmons fight, caused a stormy discussion at a meeting of the executive committee having the funds in hand this afternoon. A number demanded their money back. The majority, however, considered that Stuart had earned the $6,000. and it was not his fault the crowds did not come, so a paper, signed by ten representative citizens holding the executive committee harmless for any suits that may be brought, was drawn up and the money was handed over to Dan Stuart. "Jim" Calls Bob" n Coward. CHICAGO. Feb. 22. Corbett, when shown the dispatch announcing FItzslmmons's re fusal to fight him, simply said: "He is i big coward. I will leave it to the public to Judge as to whether I am correct or not. I predicted he would not make a match with me if he won the fight with Maher, but if he goes to England he will find me in England after him. He said after his fight with Maher that he would fight any man in the world. He is now getting out of this country as fast as possible, bag and baggage." TWO DIIAIYX HOLTS. Good Exhibition of Itoslnj? "Witnessed by llonton Sports. BOSTON. Feb. 22.-Up wards of 4,000 persons witnessed two of the finest exhibitions of boxing that have been held in Boston this season, at the West Newton-street Armory, under the au?pices of the Suffolk Athletic Club. A twelve-round go between Nick Burley, of California, and Charley Strong, of Newark, N. J., heavyweights, and a fifteen-round bout between Solly Smith, of New York, and Johnny Lavick. of Cleve-" land, were the features, and both contests resulted in a draw. Hurley was unexpectedly defeated by Strong In one round, at the armory, Feb. 10, and in order to get on the match for this evening his backers were obliged to give Strong the entire purse and a good bonus -besides. The odds were 10 to 7 on Burley. Both men started in at a rapid pace, and the first three rounds were of the whirlwind variety, with the cdis in favor of Burley, but in this round Strong landed a heavy one on Hurley's right hand, which he had hurt a short while previously in training ini1 h tvas nnihla - An wnK with It during the rest of the contest. Bur ley orew nrst biooa. in the third round, and twice during the contest his opponent was save! by the gong from being knocked out. Burley escaped without a scratch. The Smith-Lavaek contest was the star bout of the evening. It was fifteen rounds of speedy fighting, and were it not for the excellent condition of Lavaclc he would have been defeated. Both men weighed In at 125 pounds. Smith was handled by Benny Murphy, of New York, and Jimmy Kelly, of Boston; George Truqsdell and Joe Walcott were in Lavack's corner. Capt. Bill Daly was referee. In the last round Smith forced matters throughout. Sharp ln-flghting was indulged in. Lavack got in a telling uppercut just before time was called. Both men were in excellent condition at the end of the bout, and the referee's decision of a draw was received with favor by the entire audience. !Vo "Welcome for Peter. PITTSBURG, Feb. 22. The sports of this city are feeling sore over Mahers defeat, and he will not be welcomed with the hurrah which greeted him on his return home from the O'Donnell mill. Only about $10,000 was lost on the fight here, and most of it was posted In December at even money. Maher was then, in the eyes of Pittsburgers, a sure winner, but as the time of meeting approached Fitzsimmons money went begging. .Most of the interested people believed that Maher would be worsted, but thought the fight woud last at least ten rounds. The announcement of the shortness of the contest was a great disappointment to Peter's many friends, and his hold on them has dwindled to very small proportions. A XEW STORY OF GREELEY. Once Indicted for Felony ly n Virginia Grand Jury. New York Mail and Expres. The birthday of Horace Greeley, Feb. 3, makes opportune a bit of Greeley hlsto-y unknown to his biographers and perhaps unknown to himself. It is hard to believe, but it Is nevertheless a fact, that the blessed old man was Indicted for felony by the grand Jury of Harrison county, Virginia, Three copies of Greeley's weekly Tribune were taken in the county, and his abolition editorials were considered so offensive to the peace and dignity of the Commonwelath that the Harrison county grand Jury finally took action in his case. Col. iiwijamtn Wilson, attorney for the Commonwealth, drew the Instrument. The witnesses against Greeley were Amazlah Hill and Seymour Johnson, subscribers for tho Tribune. The indictment recited that on July 5, Greeley did 'write, print and publish" in New York the Tribune, "the object and purpose of which said New York Tribune is to advise and Incite necrow In this State to rebel and make insurrection, and to inculcate resistance to the right of property of masters In their slaves In the State of Virginia," and he also "knowingly, willfully and feloniously" circulated ald paper in Harrison county. With the indictment was filed a copy of the weekly Tribune of July 5, In which appeared an editorial touching the introduction cf slavery In Kansas. It was under the bead. "We Will te'ubdue You." The tert of the article was not particularly offensive, nor did the matter directly "advise and Incite negroes to rebel and make insurfoction," but that headline was a Yankee insult that could not go unchallenged. ' Less than fifteen years after the indictment wa3 drawn Horace Greeley, addressed

a crowd on the fair grounds at Clarksburg, tho county seat- of Harrison county, and Colonel Wilson, the prosecuting attorney, introduced him to the audience. Greeley was born at Amherst, N. H., In 1S1L His mother's ancestor, John Woodburn, came to America in 1718, and settled In New Hampshire. Three brothers named Greeley came to America in 1610, and the descendant of one of them, Zaccheus. settled In the Woodburn neighborhood. His son Zaccheus moved to the farm adjoining the Woodburns, a:d his son Zaccheus thus grew up with Mary Woodburn and married her. They moved to Amherst, and their third child was Horace Greeley. Greeley'a public life began in New York In 1833, and closed in 1872, his career thus covering the most Important period of the country's history. He came in at the beginning of an era of evolution and development in American Journalism and politics, and he kept pace with it. The Mail and Express finds In Francis Nlcoll Zabrlskie's biography of Greeley this estimate of him: "The man vis meant and fitted for the hour. He would be an anachronism now, as would be Daniel Boone in Kentucky, or George Rogers Clark In Illinois, or John Carver in Massachusetts." When Greeley began Journalism, in 1813, there was no telegraph, few steamboats and only two short railroads in the United States one from Albany to Schenectady the other from Charleston to the Savannah river. There, was then no such thing as independent Journalism, the few papers being purely party organs. In a rapid growth In railroads began. In 1S38 steam navigation was established between Europe and America, There had been a wonderful growth in mail routes by 1S40, aggregating 4,000,000 miles, which had increased by 1859 to 32,000.000 miles. Then oamo the era of telegraph. Morse completed his line between Washington and Baltimore May 27. 1844. In 1S51 the cable was laid between Calais and Dover, and In 1ST.8 the cable united Europe and America. All this revolutionized journalism, and Greeley was always abreast of the movement. It is also considered a significant fact in connection with his career that slavery did not becomeoan issue in American politics until after 1835. Greeley came to New York Aug. 18, 1S31. After many attempts and failures with newspaper ventures, the Tribune made its appearance Saturday, April 10, 1S41. Greeley died Nov. 2D. 1872, following the illness of his wife, and the terrible strain of the presidential canvass, through which he had Just passed. The Nation mourned the loss of a great and good man, and bis fellow-citizens In New York suddenly awoke to a tardy appreciation of his worth. 100,000 DESTITUTE.

Armenian In the District of Ilarpoot Sadly in Need of Aid. CHICAGO. Feb. 22. The following has Just been received from a gentleman residing In Harpoot, Armenia, under date of Jan. 12: "There are nearly 100,000 people in a state of destitution In this region. I have sent out more than $6,500, and 6till the calls for help keep coming. I have got money into seventy-five towns and villages, but every day more come. Thousands are sleeping on the ground with no covering. Sickness has broken out and winter is only half over. In Palou and the surrounding villages the Turks are forcing the Christians to sign deeds conveying their fields and property to them. Aghas carry off girls and women, and keep them awhile and send them back. Ofnclals are being sent out to write those who have changed their religion, and tax-gatherers beat the people to extort from them the little money we have given them to prevent their starving." , EASTERN SILVER1TES. Mansaehuaettn Populists Wnnt Free Colnpfge at 10 to 1. BOSTON, Feb. 22. The State convention of the People's party was held here to-day, and was attended by fully three hundred people. The committee on resolutions presented the following, which, after considerable heated discussion, was adopted: "Resolved, The People's party of Massachusetts, declaring for the ultimate destruction of all monopolies that are oppressing the people, and recognizing the fact that there is a rapidly growing sentiment among the followers of all political parties In opposition to money monopoly, affirm our belief that In the Irrepressible conflict to Improve the financial and industrial conditions and restore the Republic to Its normal prosperity, we should welcome the co-operation of all those opposed to the money power that is attempting to fix upon this country the British gold standard, and, to secure its defeat, we should endeavor to unite all forces into one aggressive, Irresistible phalanx that will secure free coinage of both silver and gold at 16 to 1, and the Issue of all currency by the United States without the intervention of banks of issue, to be receivable for all debts, public and private. We believe, also, that there should be a plank on land, transportation and monopolies in the platform." Delegates were elected to the national party convention In St. Louis. Governor Bradley's Boom. IXUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 22. A dispatch from Lexington says that unless a cog slips the Bradley presidential boom will be launched on March 4 at the State convention at Frankfort. Governor Bradley is an avowed candidate for the presidential nomination, and the call for the convention at Frankfort 'is the result of the conference of his leaders. It is expected that the delegates to the St. Louis convention will be instructed for him, but It will not be until after a hot fight with the McKInley forces.

The floats in the recent winter carnival were stored in the barns, and were all destroyed. CHICAGO. Feb. 22. Twelve bedridden patients, some of whom "had Just undergone severe surgical operations, were taken out of window-3 and down ladders by firemen this afternoon at the Pratt Sanitarium, on Diversy boulevard.

ENGLAND'S ISOLATION

JOHN DULL BECOMING THE ISHMAEL OF TUB WORLD. He la Said to lie Itnpldly Losing the Support and Gatnlnjr tjie En mlty of All Powers. NEW YORK, Feb. 23. A special to the World from London says: The again darkening prospect for Great Britain all over the world may powerfully and speedily operate on the Premier's mlcd to .force a settlement of the- Venezuelan question along lines of arbitration. Russia, apparently supine for years, is dangerously extending her power. This week saw her reassert her control of the Balkan states. The week before saw her establish her practical suzerainty over Turkey. The meager news from Corea, announcing her occupation of Seoul, Indicates that she means to defy Japan as well as British influence in China. The Italian reverses In Abyssinia presage the fall of Great Britain's only powerful friend CrispL France has given new and splendid assurance of her stability and strength and may be counted upon to side with Russia, unless indeed, Great Britain has made an alliance with the Czar. Germany remains sullenly hostile. The dispatch from the Transvaal, intimating that the Boers, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of their victory over the British at Majuba hill, will proclaim their complete Independence of British suzerainty, would, if true, compel war with the Transvaal and lead to the strong probability of German Intervention. The grounding of a German vesel with (curious coincidence) Cecil Rhodes on boaTd, in the Suez, canal, has startled England by revealing the certainty that if a vessel were blown up there in a war it woulJ block the canal for weeks. "A block of three weeks." say3 the Graphic, "might loso us India forever. Indeed, the man who declared that the Cape of Good Hope would some day be recognized as the pivot of the empire may not have been, without wisdom." Cecil Rhodes' really contemplated an Independent United States of South Africa. Desperate at the loss of power and of recognition here, he may yet carry out that design. The published statement that Mr. Astor means to appoint an American to be editor of the Pall Mall Gazette proves to be untrue. He has not, and never had, any intention of appointing an American. He ia on the lookout In London society for the counterpart of Mr. Cnst, If he can secure him. He wants an Englishman of influence, because such an editor might get important news occasionally and gives a paper a certain influence in society. Mr. Astor visited the Gazette offices yesterday for the first time since Mr. Cust'3 departure, and expressed his satisfaction with the way the paper was being conducted. Mr. Cust has been trying to get money for a new paper, but has met with little or no encouragement. Concerning the French crisis, the World's London correspondent says: "All the telegrams from Paris to the English press have been for obvious reasons, hostile to the Bourgeois. Therefore, the United States may have been misinformed about the real issues. The Paris Temps and Figaro, which are violently attacking the Ministry, both figured on the famous list of newspapers which had accepted bribes from the Panama company. Now that the Bourgeois Ministry has secured the extradition of Arton, some Interesting revelation may be expected, for M. Rlcard will assuredly leave no stone unturned to induce Arton to teJl all he knows. Hence, the supreme necessity of suppressing M. Rlcard and all his Radical colleagues before the Arton trial comes on. "The World's Paris correspondent understands on what he believes excellent authority that Munlr Bey, the Turkish embassador, has been distributing for many months large sums of money to the French news agencies and newspapers To the financial syndicate which owns the Journal des Debats, Including Leon Say and M. De Rothschild among its members, the Sultan has granted a special railway concession. ., , ., "With regard to. Cuban affairs, also, the Frer.ch press has been singularly silent. Nono but official Spanisfi dispatches have been published. An explanation is now forthcoming. The Bank of Spain and Holland holds an enormous quantity of Spanish securities, which it . has been trying to dispose of as rapidly as might be without unduly bearing the market. Meanwhile, says the Paris correspondent, it has freely subsidized the chief Parisian newspapers, on condition that they should print no unfavorable news from Cuba." Captain. Convim Hum Apologized. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-A special to the World from Madrid says: The final stage of the Royal Geographical Society incident was reached when Minister Taylor waived the proffered publication of letters from General Andea, the president of the society, and Captain Convas gave a full apology and explanation. They also agreed to Insert In the society's bulletin a record of Captain Convas's address, "correcting" offensive version, grossly slandering the American people, as published in the Madrid press. Minister Taylor, in his -latest note, intimates that his only object in making the protest was to avert the consequences which the incident might have had on the cordial relations of the two countries. The Snes Canal Open Again. PORT SAID, Feb. 22 Steamer Kantzler, from Hamburg, for De'.agca bay, which grounded in the Suez canal at Ismailia on Wednesday, has been floated. Her grounding had practically blocked the passage of the canal, and nearly fifty steamers were detained by the accident. These craft are now enabled to proceed on their respective ways. GE JIUJE WASHINGTON. (Concluded from First Page.) banquet given by the Young Men's Democratic Club and the Democratic State committee here to-day by presenting the name of Secretary of btate Richard Olney as the candidate of Massachusetts and New England for the presidential honors at the hand of the Democracy of the United States. The name was received Ith unbounded enthusiasm and it was several minutes before the speaker could continue his oration. During the applause, a voice rang out "What has become of Willie Itussell?" but the query was neve answered. The banquet was presided over by Ju 3ge John W. Corcoran, and he had as guests Judge Josiah Patterson, of Tennessee: ex-Governor John Davis, of Rhode Island: Hon, D. J. McGillicuddy, of Maine, and several local lights. Mavor Quinsy's address dwelt at length on the Venezuela question, and said that the action of the United States would restore peace and set a standard whereby all international difficulties would be settled in the future. He said that on that record the Democratic party would have one of its strongest points in going before the people at the next election. He then said that Massachusetts can but present as its logical candidate the name of Richard Olney, and he believed that if that gentleman will allo'w the use of hi3 name the Massachusetts delegation and probably the delegations from all the New England States would support him In the national convention, and if nominated the party wouli go before the country with a creditable candidate and with certain hopes of success. EXERCISES IX THE SENATE. Washington Farewell Address Rend t- Mr. Frje MOml 111cm Cjrover., .WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. The Senate met to-day to listen to the reading of Washington's farewell address by Senator Frye, the President pro tempore of the Senate. This was in accordance with a resolution previously Introduced by Senator Hoar, and was proceeded with Immediately, after the conclusion of the reading of the journal of Thursday. The Present occupied the seat of tho presiding officer, and Mr. Frye took his position behind the secretary's desk, thus facing the entire Senate. He read from an old volume, printed !n large typ?. and. without any special effort, filled the large chamber with his resonant voice, so that the patriotic and well-rounded sentences were heard by all the large audience present. The reading of the Journal and of the address . was preceded - by a prayer by Dr. Wallace Radcliffe. pastor of the New Yorkavenue Presbyterian Church, who asked God to "bless Grover Cleveland, the President of the -United States," and. referring to Washington, returned special thanks "for him whose name is In all hearts today for the Inheritance of his memory and

for the Inspiration of his life and example." On motion of Mr. Perkins the prayer was ordered to be printed in the Recjrd. There was a liberal attendance of Senators, and the only vacant seats ,1n the galleries were in the diplomatic and Senate sections. The diplomatic gallery was entirely vacant, but almost all the seats in the gallery set apart for the families of Senators were taken. The Vice President's pew was filled, and the President's was also occupied. Many presented themselves for admission to the popular galleries a considerable time before the opening of the doors and they continued to arrive so that a large number were prevented from gaining admission. Close attention was given to the reading by both the Senators and other auditors, rendering, the ceremony thoroughly impressive and none the less so on account of simplicity and the absence of ostentation by which it was marked. At the conclusion of the reading of the address. Mr. Gray moved that the thanks of the Senate be tendered to Mr. Frye for the admirable manner in which he had read the address. The motion carried unanimously, and then, at 12:57 p. m.. on motion of Mr. Hoar, the Senate adjourned till Monday. Mr. Carter gave notice of the postponement of his address, heretofore announced for Monday, on his motion to recommit the tariff bill until Wednesday of next week.

A Woman Reporter Extrnets n Lot of Personal Detulls. Kansas City Times. As I remained silent for a minute, he said: "So you are a lady reporter and write for the papers, and that is your art?" "Yes, I am a woman reporter, and that is rny work; not so pleasant as yours." "Mine is work, too: for everything is work In this world that is done well, and ' lliU.TlU IS 1111 Ul V VI JV "Do you vary it with out-door exercise?" "Not a great deal; not so much as I should while on my tours, but I occasionally ride, drive and walk when I wave time." "Do you ride a bicycle?" "No! No!" horrifiedly. "How do you spend your time?" "Well, very monotonously, and I suppose most people would think there is very little pleasure in my existence, and there is when I am on a tour." "What are your plans for the day, generally?" "Each day is very much like another. I rest as much as possible the days I give a recital,' and I always rise late, for I always sltep poorly the first part of the night. After I take a little breakfast, and I feel equal to it, I often play a game of billiards with Mr. Goerlitz, for I am very fond of the game and it is my greatest recreation. Then we sometimes vwalk or drive, and after dinner I retire to my apartments and practice, and that is my day." "Don't you read or write, or amuse yourself in any way?" "Oh, yes, I read, but I don't write when I can help it, and my time is sometimes much taken up with seeing young folks; young men and women who arpire to fame, and they wart to play for me, and I cannot always refuse to hear them. Not that I would refuse any one if I could help it, but I must do so, and it is hard to make distinctions." "Inieed, his time would every minute be taken up by the young aspirants to fame." said Mr. Goerlitz. at this point. "If I would allow them all an audience. I make It a point to refuse as many as I can. because Paderewski 1? physically unable to see them, and they fairly swarm to see him, to bring their compositions and to play for him." "How about the ladies who call to see him; society women who wish to meet him and to lionize him?" "I will not allow him to see' them said the manager, "because he works too hard as it is without being bored ia such a rcanr.r." I turned to Mr. Paderewski again and asked him if he read tho newspapt-rs. Taking up a cepv of the Post-Dispatch which lay cn the table, he turned the pages over quickly, glancing over the headings as he did so, saying: "Tviis is the way I read the newspapers." "Don't you care to read tire nice thijigj they siy about yourseltT' "But they are not always nice things," he said, smiling, "and it up-?ets me to read about myself, ov I have cot read a pres

notice of myself or my recitals since I have been in America this time." , "Do you know." I said. "I had an idea before I saw you that you were a brunette? "Indeed! Why did you thlnfc that? "I don't know, except most Polish men were dark, and the most beautiful women of your country were blonde." "Oh, no, you see, I am far from dark; but my sister, she is a brunette. Now, the De Heszke brothers, who are Poles, are both dark, and you will find the same difference In Polanders as you find In this country." . . "Is your sister a gret artist, too? "No, she docs not aspire to be an artist, but she can play well on the piano, of course." ' Noticing how his hair stood up as if each separate hair had life I felt the greatest desire to touch it and see If It felt like that of other people. I never have seen anv hair like It before, and the color Is such that I could not decide whether it was golden, reddish brown, or what: It seemed to change In every light and with each motion of his head. I said: "Will you be angry if I ak you a very personal question, Mr. Paderewski V "No, I won't be angry: you said you were going to ask me questions, and I promised to answer as far as lay in my power." "Well. It was stated you were losing your hair, that it was falling out, and that you would be forced to cut it off: is it true?" "No. no, it is not true: does It look so?" and he shook his head until every hair stood up, shining not like gold, for It .was brighter than any gold I had ever seen. "No, my hair Is like It always has been. I have it trimmed each summer, and I have' not lost any of It in any other way." While we were talking I noticed that Paderewski sat in. his chair very much like Southern men,1 which means that he took a very ersy position, almost lounging, and bent fcrrrard booking frankly into my face, and t' ' inda were hardly ever still. He i very characteristic hands, very white, k. his face, his nngers being quite long end blender, and he holds each finger quite apaii from the other, like one holds them in performing on the piano. The nails are well formed and well cared for. but h!s hands were far from small or effeminate looking. His handshake reminded me of an incident of long aeo. When I was a child a distinguished Kentucky statesman reproved me for allowing my hand to remain passive when shaking hands, and tried to teach me to shake hands properly, saying he knew a young lady who had very little beauty who won every man's heart the minute she shook his hand, from the characteristic and expressive way In which she did it, making h!m feel that he was a welcome and honored guest. I thought of this the minute I shook hands with Paderewski: his hand-clasp was so genuine, so cordial, his fingers so cool and firm to the touch, that It was a distinct pleasure' to exchange with him the hand-clasp of which the American nation is so fond. Several mpssengers had come for the great artist while I was having my talk with him, but he was too polite to alloT me to be driven away until all my questions were answered. .

IXLICKY NAMES FOR SHIPS. Saints and Inland Plaees J$are to Urine: Dlsnster. New York Press. "Never name a vessel after a yalnt or an inland town. If you do, while she may not be unlucky, she will never be what you might call fortunate." The speaker was an old salt who spends a great del of his time down on the battery, and the remark was occasioned by the stranding of the St. PpuI at Long Branch. The s?.!!or man folded the paper he had been reading, carefully, stowed it away In an inside pocket, lit an aged, but still strong, stub pipe, aTid, pleased with the land lubber's attention, went on: "Now, you men who live ashore call some cf the sailor's beliefs superstitions; you can call them anything you want to, but these beliefs are founded on facts. Look at the St. Faul she was troublesome when building, stuck on the ways In iaunchlng and broke an air pump on her maiden trip. Last December she burst a steam pipe and killed n!ne men. And now she has gone ashore. She's a fine boat and well run but her name is too much for he. "Ever hear. .of the Spanish Armada?" continued the old fellow, as he warmed up. "Well, most of the vessels in that fleet were named after saints; what happened to them? Perhaps you remember the expedition which France fitted out and sent over here to destroy the ports on the New England coast; it never reached Its destination more saints. If Columbus had commanded the Pint?, instead of the Santa Maria he would have discovered America Just the same,' and instead of dying In Ignominy and poverty he would have realized some of the benefits of his discovery. "Look at the vessels named after Inland places: how many of the Alabama's victims were so named; think of the Cumberland and Minnesota In Hampton Roads. Do you remember the Camperdown? Of modern steamers the Paris has never been as fortunate as the New York, although they are sister ships and bull exactly alike; the Spree has broken her shaft, run ashore and nad harder luck than all the other vessels of her line put together. "Take Lloyds list and you will find the majority of vessels named in this are unfortunate. It is not a superstition, it is a fact. I have been a captain for over thirty years, and I know. Now let me tell you something else. When St. Paul and St. Louis wero given out as the names of the new liners I was in Lonion waiting for a cargo. Another American captain and myself used to frequent a little place which was a sort of hang-out for sailor men. We were congratulating ourselves that the United States had at last started tobuIUocean liners, and, being cussed Yankees, were inclined to brag a little. At the other end of our table sat an old English captain who had retired years ago. He broke in on U3 by saying: 'All right. Yanks, crow awaj, but you want to cut the saint off their names to bring them luck and it's my belief he was right. Well, good-bye, this Is not a sea yarn. Ixiok it up." The Way Elephants Climb. Public Opinion. Elephants are able to make their way up and down mountains and through a country of steep. cliffs, where mules would not dare to venture, and even where men find passage difficult. The'.r tracks have been found upon the very summit of mountains over seven thousand feet high. In these journeys an elephant is often compelled to descend hills and mountain sides which are almost precipitous. This Is the way in which It is done: The elephant's first maneuver is to kneel down close to the declivity. One foreleg is then cautiously passed over the edge and a short way down the slope, and if he finds there is no good spot for a firm foothold, he speedily forms one by stamping into the soil If it is moist or kicking out a footing if it is dry. When he is sure of a good foothold the other foreleg Is brought down in the same way. Then he performs the same work over again with his feet, bringing both forelegs a little in advance of the first foothold. This leaves good places already made for the hind feet. Now bracing himself by his huge, strong forelegs, he draws his hind legs, first one and then the other, carefully over the edge where they occupy the nrst places made by the forefeet. This Is the way the huge animal proceeds all the way down, zigzag, kneeling every time with the two hind legs while he makes footholes with his forefeet. Thus the center of gravity is preserved, and the huge beast prevented from toppling over on his nose. St. Paul Whist Players Won. ST. PAUL. Minn., Feb. 21-Tho St. Paul Whist Club, which won the American Whist League trophy from a Uoston League c4ub at St. Louis recently, was called on to-day to defend Its claim to the trophy by the Chicago Whist Club, represented by Mersrs. Waller, Parker, Baldwin and Parsons, and after playing all day the trophy remains in St. Paul, whose team consisting of Messrs. -Bunn. Briggs, Bronson and Gordon, made a score of 31 to their opponents l'j. At the end of the first half the St. Paul men were fourteen points in the lead, and when the match ended the score was as given above. 7T IV tv. TBAO(S
