, . ,_.TH£,‘QLD YORK . OFJTODAY. '
-' 'd‘r-ésent Condition of‘tho English Namo'
cake or the American Metropolis.
There can be no doubt that one of the
most interesting towns of England is
the city of York. There will be found ~
distributed in a lavish manner what all .
' the wealth of America could not possi-
bly purchase or create. Indeed the same
may be said of every other country, for
nowhere can we tnow reproduce the
marvelous architecture or the stained
glass of the twelfth and thirteenth cen-
turies, and no town is so rich in these
unequaled works of the past as the, tow’ii
by Americans is best set forth by the
fact that recently no less than 500
Americans visited York in one single
day. .
. York minster is the king of English
cathedrals. Apart, however, from the
cathedral, York has a much greater num-
ber of churches as old and, in their way,
as remarkable asthe cathedral. What,
however, seems to me most exceptional
is not these ancient monuments, but
their surroundings. Throughout Europe,
in London, Paris and elsewhere, me-
diwval cathedrals. town halls and other
buildings still subsist, but they are sur-
rounded by a framework of modern
houses and streets. At York, on the con-
trary, as at Frankfort, Nuremberg and
a few other 3 continental towns, the
streets as well as the churches recall the
middle ages.
York is just the opposite to Hull. The
latter town owes its very existence to
its commercial capabilities, while York
neverwas a commercial town. Bull is
atown which has absolutely nothing to
show, yet it has a population of more
than 200,000 inhabitants, and many of
its citizens are extremely wealthy. Hull
fought for the parliament against King
Charles, and Bull was celebrated for its
cruelty toward the Catholics. York, on
the contrary, fought for the king against
the parliament, and, as Catholics were
not so cruelly used in the York prisons,
they were sent from York to Hull when
it was thought desirable to treat them
more harshly. Many very excellent fam-
ilies have selected to reside in York, but
there are very few large fortunes. York
is a town of poor gentlemen; Hull is a
town of wealthy vulgarians. York has
religiously sought to preserve what is
- of historical and artistic value; Hull
hasruthlessly destroyed all that was of
no immediate business use. These two
towns, so close to each other, constitute
excellent object lessons. illustrating the
two great forces, the i «0 great currents
of opinion, which for several centuries
have sfruggled against each other.—

i A Colored «Anny? 'or Wichita, Kai... Casts _
Her- Bnllot for Mayor COX. , .
Previous to the recent municipal'elec-
tion at Wichita, Kan, Mrs. Harriet Mc-
Murray, 3. colored woman; appeared be
fore. the city clerk and desired to be
registered. _ ‘ " >
“What is. your age, Auntie?” asked
the head of the registration depart-
ment. _
, “Law me, Cap’n! Ax me sump’m
easy,” ejaculated the old lady. “All I
kin tell you, ash, is dat Ipwuz in the
resolutionary wah. My ole massa’s
of York. That this is may appreciated 1 Bible wuz dun bu’ned by the fiah’ befO’
he' sold mammy and .me and Sophy to
dat dah Runnel Robi’son.”
' The city clerk listened with curiosity
and viewed the oldrlady sceptically. .
“I want ter vote for Massa. Cox,” con-
tinued Aunt Harriet, “iffor he dun . gib
Dick, my daughtah Cha’ity’s men, work
in de streets when» de po'O’niggah needed
it.” '
The mathematicians and the historians
of the Registration Bureau piled the old
lady with questions and finally gathered
years of age. .
“I ’spec’ I be, that ole, anyway,” said
Aunt Harriet, “and maybe mo’.”
Ten days afterward “Auntie Harriet”
rode down to the polls in Alderman
Mellinger’s carriage, bearing herself as
proudly as 3. peacock. And she voted.
She was arrayed in the fashionable bric-
a-brac of a. century. She wore a shawl
that her old “missus” gave her in Ten-
'nessee three-quarters of 'a century ago;
-a quaint looking white cap. resplendent
in a wealth of ruffles, which her young
missus had given her as a wedding pres-
ent, and an antique cloth cape, brilliant
in glass beads, which had fallen into her
hands at the death of an old maid sister
of her last master, about twenty years,
she thinks, before the era of freedom.
Aunt Harriet is a very sensible old
woman, but she has one dominating
weakness, and that is to be in touch “wif
de quality.” In her estimation she
reached the apex of honor when she rode
in the carriage of an alderman to the
polls and had Mayor Cox, who was run-
ning for re-election, tip his hat to her.
But that ride—that triumphant ride—
may cost her her life, for through vanity
she discarded her woolens to wear the
ancient finery of bygone days and caught
a. bad cold, which has developed into the
r1 .
g “Il‘To, sah,” she said in reply to a. ques-
tion. “I kean’t jus’ tell how ole I am,
but dat town clerk done figured me out
at 115. He told me I was ole enough to
vote,” and the old lady laughed heartily
at her own wit. '
“How far back can you remember?”
she was asked.
“De furtherest back I ken remember
is the ‘Resolutionary’ web. I was den 3
little tot, but I remember hearing the
guns fishing neah Baltimo’, and the so-
jers bringing a kemal dat was done shot
thro’ the bowels into daddy’s cabin and
mommy nu’sing him till he died. My

HIS OLD FRIEND COL. B.
A Detroit Young Man Puzzled by a Striking
Resemblance.
“My dear, dear old boy?” began the
effusive young man as he entered a
Woodward avenue car and slapped a
. middle aged man on the back; “but I
was just thinking of you a moment ago!
How do you do, anyway?”
“I am well, sirl” frigidly returned the
man, as he turned full around.
“Ah! Beg pardon for my mistake. I
was certain it was my dear old friend,
Col. B."
“I said I was well!” repeated the man
who had been slapped. '
“Yes, I know, and I beg you to excuse
me. It’s the first lime I ever made
such a ., mistake. The resemblance is
wonderful.”
“Did you wish to speak to me,'sirl”
demanded the other, in tones about forty
degrees below zero.
. » “I slapped you on the back by mis-
take. I am sorry for it. You look like
the twin brother of my old friend Col.
B. and I mistook you for him. Sorry
——very sorry, and I hope you’ll overlook
it.”
“Are you addressing me, sir?” came
in cold and flinty tones across the car.
“Yes,-sir. When I came in I took°
you for my old friend Col. B., and it was
not until after I had slapped you on the
back that I found out my mistake. -It
was very rude of me, and I beg pardon
and hope you will overlook it.”
“What do you wish me to over-
look?” ,
The young man got up to go all over
that speech again, but a plumber who
was about to get off tookhim by the
arm and walked him out and dropped
him on the asphalt, and said:
“Young man, you must have drunk
one too many cocktails. That’s old 001.

“And haven’t you succeeded yet?” she

ever, that they Can talk for publicatidn
But Senor Don Horatio Guzman is re-
lieved from the-ban. For more than eight
years he was envoy extraordinary and
to the United States. Less than two
weeks ago he presented his letters of re-
call because the NiCaraguan government
had come to the conclusion, from motives
of economy, that it could no longer sup-
port a representative here.
Senor Guzman is a remarkably intelli-
gent man, thoroughly conversant with
the affairs of, the Spanish-American re-
publics. He stands highxin the esteem of
hf§ fellow diplomats here. As Nioaragua’s
representative during the days of the Co-
rinto troubleshe came into close relations
with President Cleveland’s official family
and had one experience with England’s
aggressive and tyrannical tactics. "
“The present firm attitude of this coun-
try in the Venezuela trouble, ” said Senor
Guzman,,“has raised the prestige of the
United States immeasurably in all the
Spanish-American countries. The words of
President Cleveland’s message have re-
sounded from Mexico to Chile, and it will
be a long time before their reverberation
shall cease. Today the name of Grover
Cleveland stands very high among these
people.
. “Of course our feelings and sympa-
thies are all with the United States. How
could they be otherwise? Since such a
thing as the Monroe doctrine became a
fact all the smaller and Weaker countries
have looked up to the United States in
the light of a protector.”
Views of Monroe Doctrine.
Senor Guzman was asked in what way
the Spanish-A merican republics regarded
the Monroe doctrine—how far they im-
agined it extended and what it embraced.
“That depends upon the number of
years you go back. Take it in the time of
the French occupation of Mexico, ” he
continued. “As soon as the United States
had broken the southern Confederacy, the
French, under pressure and moved by
this country’s energetic, action, left Mex-
ico. That was regarded as a plain expo-
sition of the Monroe doctrine. Up to the
time of the Corinto troubles our people,
and, indeed, all the countries of the Amer-
icas south of the United States, imagined
that if any of them were oppressed by a
strong European power; and an attempt
was made to bully them, the United
States would come 0 their assistance, first
with moral support and later, if neces-
sary, with force. The questlon of dellbcr.
ate or consequential acquisition of terril
tory was not deemed an ehsential one so
far as the enforcement of the Monroe doc-
trine was concerned.
"find these countries were not afraid of
They never
any of their territory from them. They
thought that would take place which did
take place in the trouble the ‘United
States had with Chile. This country then
did not attempt to bully Chile. The
greater nation did not say to the smaller
one: ‘I’m your master. Do what Isay
and do it quickly, or I’ll prove my
strength and your weakness. ’ On the con?
trary, there was a plain statement of the
case. backed up by firmness well tem-
pered with fairness.
“But the Corinto trouble”—and the
senor laughed sarcastically. “Do you
know of what the Corinto fortifications
consisted? I’ll tell you. Just one brass
cannon made in Spain in the middle of
the seventeenth century. It was a grand
sight, truly. and one of which England
should feel proud, when Admiral Ste-
phenson cleared the decks of the Royal Ar-
thur for action. Think of it! The Royal
Arthur, a modern cruiser of 9, 000 tons,
equipped with the best of guns, cle'aring
its decks for action in the face of Corin.
to’s magnificent article of defense—a
small brass cannon used only to fire as
lutes.” ,
Does Not Anticipate War.
Senor Guzman does not think that there
will be any war between the United States
and England It would prove toodisas-
trons to the whole world, he says.
“About two months ago,”he contin-
ued, “I was talking with a prominent
tween Englgnd and Venezuela. ‘I hardly
expect that the United States government
will step in any more than it did in the
Corinto afl'alr,’ he contended, and that
was the opinion of almost all the repre-
sentatives from the Spanish-American re-
publics. I disagreed with him. ‘England
will get the best of it all. The United
States will not brave England,’ he added.
Isald then that this countrywould not
permit the occupation of Venezuela by
the English, and I am certain that it
will not. Why, you don’t suppose, do
you, that the United States would permit
Spain to sell Cuba to England, if the Cu-
bans should appear to be overthrowing
Spanish authority. and then allow Eng-
land to conquer the natives and bring
that island under English rule? It would
be no more antagonistic to the Monroe
doctrine than England’s contention in
the Venezuela dispute. - .
“Before President Cleveland’s latest
message any Spanish-American country
European nation would have solicited the
protection of the United States, notwith-
standing the memory of Corinto might
have made them Very anxious as to the
policy of this government. They feel dlfA
ferent now.
“They undoubtedly depend greatly on
the United States now. In case of any
trouble—I am now speaking for the Span-
ish-American republics of Central Amer-
ica—they could ofier but little material
assistance to the United States. But their
sympathies would be strong. " ,
