What you’re looking at
This page contains several brief satirical items rather than a single cartoon. "The Twain of 'Em" compares the devil and Mark Twain, suggesting both share a sense of humor. "Monumental Effrontery" mocks Andrew Carnegie's proposed Pittsburg monument to James G. Blaine as wasteful self-aggrandizement. "The Pan-American Flag" describes a new official standard for the Pan-American Exposition. "The Sampson Medal" critiques awarding war medals to individuals rather than commemorating events, questioning whether Admiral Sampson deserves one. The bottom illustration titled "His Wish" shows a man in a rocking chair with a small child, with the caption expressing anxiety about the child's future whereabouts—typical domestic humor of the era. The page mixes political commentary with lighter social satire.

TRANSATLANTIC LINER has been christened the Pisladelphia. . The idea is to reassure those nervous passengers who are always in terror lest the “ocean greyhound” they take will race across. WILLIAM C. WHITNEY has paid fifty thousand dollars for Nastur- tium, the flower of two-year-old racing colts. This is twice as ex- travagant as Mr, Lawson's twenty-five-thousand-dollar pink investment. WPANDSU. a species of African bean, has been recommended through the State Department as an ideal and perfect nutriment for the human system. But, being palatable and of appetizing flavor, it can never hope to find acceptance as a bona-fide health food, HE GOSPEL OF GOLF is making encouraging headway when a clergyman of the standing of the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Eaton can frankly preach from his pulpit that “the golf-player on his links is nearer to God than are the church-goers who work their coachmen and footmen on Sunday.” THE TWAIN OF 'EM, [8 MAKING A COMPARISON between the devil and Mark Twain, at the session of the General Synod of the Reformed Dutch Church in America, the Rev. Edward P. Johnson, retiring president of the Synod, gave first honors to His Satanic Majesty. Both the devil and Mark have at least one advantage over the reverend gentleman, who is shockingly destitute of the sense of humor. MONUMENTAL EFFRONTERY. WE HOPE Andrew Carnegie will be induced not to carry into execu- tion his threat to erect in Pittsburg, at his own cost, a monument to the late James G. Blaine. The precedent of a public monument at private expense would be a bad one, on general principles. Mr. Carnegie’s selection for this dubious honor is peculiarly unfortunate. Poor Blaine attended one Belshazzar’s Feast toward the close of his troublous career, and that was enough to last him through all eternity. THE PAN-AMERICAN FLAG. ‘THE GORGEOUS PAN-AMERICAN STANDARD, the official em- blem of the Buffalo Exposition, is becoming a familiar object these days, and is more generally admired than understood. This flag is sym- bolical of the North, the South, and all America. Next the staff is a field of blue, indicating the North, with one large white star—the North-star. Next this comes a broad field of white, on which is the golden cagle of All-America, The free end of the banner is a field of Southern red, with the four white stars of the Southern Cross. Miss Adelaide Thorpe is the designer of this beautiful and appropriate emblem, which was chosen in a competition held last spring by the directors of the great Pan-American fair, THE SAMPSON MEDAL. THE POPULAR IMPRESSION that war-medals voted by Congress are to commemorate historic events, and not individuals who should have participated in them, would seem to be quite erroneous, inasmuch as Admiral Sampson's head is to figure in solitary grandeur on the Santiago ake. Admiral Schley is known to have been present at the battle, entitled, in common with the other sailors, gunners, etc., who par- pated in its doings and dangers, to receive one of these medals. What he thinks, may possibly be inferred from his reply to the letter apprising him of his recent election as an honorary member of the National Army of Spanish War Veterans. In his grateful acknowledgment of this honor Admiral Schley wrote : “Touching the matter of your reference to a medal, I have always believed that nations ought of right to perpetuate the great events of their history, rather than those of the lives of participants, and leave to the judicial calm of historic judgment to perpetuate in bronze those who may have honored themselves by deeds of valor wrought for home, for flag, for country.” Isn't this reprehensible ? wes ose tine ret HIS WISH.
