If smokers were to rise and give vent to their feelings in a strike against the stogie. the revolution would be violent enough to stagger humanity. G NERAL DANIEL E. SICKLES is a brave old soldier, but in the recent fight over Pension Commissioner Evans he advanced his salient to a recklessly exposed and untenable position at the corner of the Plum Orchard; so it is not as strange as it is sad that he should now find himself severely cut up. o sk “We need the faith to go a path untrod, ‘The power to be alone and vote with God.” —Edwin Markham, in" Thoughts for Independence Day.” You ‘re dead right, ‘That he who votes Edwin! ‘Tis as good as shown ith God will vote alone. PERILS OF “HOOT, MON!” DIALECT. MAN in Jersey City dropped dead while seated in his armchair, with an open volume in his hands. The book was Mrs. Oliphant's “ La- \dores,” and it was found that the unfortunate reader had expired while in the midst of a chapter of which the following sentence is a speci- men brick: “ Ye never ken what he’s been tae ye till ye lose him.” dies COULD BEAT NOAH, ANYHOW! MB: LAWSON of Boston couldn't obtain a very good generat view of the races at Newport in which his yacht competed with the Conss#- tution and the Columbia, owing to the Independence being lelt so far behind by those other two cup-defenders. The Jndependence people, how- ever, still assert that she is faster than anyone knows; and the Boston Globe confidently boasts that she “could have sailed all around Noah's ark.” A DEEP-SEATED PREJUDICE, [N THE NEW YORK CITY PARKS one Spate tried recently the European plan of charging a fee for sitting in chairs, to see if the ‘American public would “‘stand for it.” The American public wouldn't. ‘That was settled promptly by a few riots and one or two narrow escapes from lynching. ‘The park commissioners took the hint and revoked the concession before JUDGE even had time to print a pungent paragraph about it. SCARCITY OF “THE QUEER.” AN EXCEPTION to the prevailing industrial activity is the counterfeit- ing business, which is reported to have dwindled down almost to nothing, owing to the aggressive policy of the United States Treasury Department. This great monopoly, working through its Secret Service. and in combination with the Federal Department of Justice. has crushed out competition in the manufacture of green-goods, until the counterfeiters have to hold their “get-together” conferences mostly in prison, and bad money is well-nigh as scarce as good. MILLIONAIRES AND THE OLD MASTERS J, PIERPONT MORGAN, who has just blown in another one hundred * and twenty-five thousand dollars for a Sir Joshua Reynolds portrait, as companion to his celebrated Gainsborough, seems to be falling in line with his fellow-millionaires, Messrs. Carnegie, Rockefeller, Yerkes, Hill, and Senator Clark of Montana, as a big buyer of European pictures. Richard Croker, also, is said to be rounding up a fine collection of old masters, but American ones, his specialty being Croker-Tammany car- toons, mostly of the “anti” persuasion. Pro Croker chefs-d'ccuvres are excessively rare. Hamilton, Zim and Gillam are numerously represented by some of their choicest works in the gallery of Mr. Croker, who undoubt- edly is getting a good deal more for his money than are Messrs. Morgan, Rockefeller, and the other fellers A PUZZLER.
