‘ SEEING THE COMMODORE.

Short Chapter Out of the Experiences of a
Nevvspapor Reporter.

“One night some twenty odd years

 

' ago, and when I had not been very

long on the paper,” said an old New
York newspaper reporter, “I was sent
up to ask Commodore Vanderbilt for
some information on certain points 're-
lating to the New York Central rail-
road. The Commodore lived then in
the fine old house in Washington
Place, the old house in which he died.
The servant that let me in took me in-
to the parlor by a door ‘that opened
into the hall near the front of_ the
room, and left me there. Presently
the Commodore came in by a door

.opening into the hall near the‘ rear of

the room. He had on a rather old-
fashioned suit of clothes, including a
frock coat with pretty long skirts; he
wore an old-fashion stand—up collar
with high Sideboards, that somehow
seemed especially suited to him. He
was a stately looking gentleman, with
more of kindness than of austerity
in his bearing, as he stood over there
on the other side of the room looking
at me and asking me what I wanted.
but still his manner was perfectly
emotionless, and I couldn’ even have
guessed whether he was going to tell
me what I wanted to know or not.

though I thought the chances were a _

shade against it. But lie asked me
to come up to his’room, and he led the
way himself. - _

“The Commodore’s room was on the
second floor, at the rear of the house;
the door was opposite the head of the
stairs. If it had been at the front of
the house it would have been called a
hall bedroom; but it was bigger than
that, and I should think it was twelve
or fourteen feet square. There was a
fireplace on one side, and in the cen-
tr of the room there was a' tgble-
topped desk with papers lying about
on it, and a broad, thin box of cigars.
The room appeared to be a sort of per
sonal office of the Commodore’s.

“He sat down himself in a big com-
fortable chair by the side of the fire-
place, and gave me a chair by the
desk. He told me to open the box
and- take a cigar. I asked him the
questions I had come to ask, and he
gave me the desired information.

. Then he went on talking on his own

account, in a calm, self-contained sort
of way, about the Central road. It
seemed as though his feeling for the
road was one of affection. The four-
tracking had just been begun, and
the Commodore spoke particularly of
that. He said that if he could live to
see the Central four-tracked from
New York to Bufialo he would be sat-
isfied; that it would then be the great-
est railroad in the world; and he
spoke of other things about the road,
speaking always in a way that was
quiet and dignified, but at the same
time as pleasant and agreeable as
could be imagined.

“Everything that he said was of in-
terest—some of it was of importance.
I went back to the oflice and wrote
out the interview. Next morning I
had the great pleasure of reading it
in print. It was a success, made so
by the gracious, kindly old Commo-
dore.”

JUSTICE DUFFY’S JOKE.

in Exchange of Opinions as to His Exact
Standing in Society.

Justice Duffy of Long Island City
is apparently a worthy successor of
New York’s lamented Justice Duffy in
the art of judicial jocoseness. Re-
cently he officially indulged in a lit-
tle pleasantry, with the result that
Long Island City’s exchequer was en-
hanced $15.

May Il‘crris, a sixteen-year-old bicy-
clist, caused the arrest of Philip Eins-
man of Astoria on Thursday, charg!
ing him with having thrown her from
her wheel. Einsman was arraigned
and found guilty, but Justice Duffy
suspended sentence.

“This is an outrage’” exclaimed Miss
Ferris’s mother, who was in court. I
insist on having that villain fined.”

“011, very well, madam,” responded
the Justice; “always glad to oblige,
you know. I will impose a fine of $5

on Einsman, but I will also impose a '

like fine upon your daughter for hav-
ing ridden on the sidewalk.”

“Oh, you villain! Oh, you brute!”
shouted Mrs. Ferris. “You old”—

“Thank you, madam,” interrupted
the Justice, courteously, “I regret,
however, that I am under the neces-
sity of fining you $5 for contempt of
court, and at the same time I will re-
mit the fine now standing against
Einsman.”

“Hurrah i” shouted Einsman. “J udge,
you’re a peach!”

“Indeed?” said the Justice, elevat-
ing his eyebrows. “Well, under those
circumstances I will be compelled to
fine you $5 for contempt of court.”

A Toad’s Coat of Meal.

‘A good story is told of a toad which
noticed that swarms of flies were at-
tracted by the sour meal left in the
saucer after the chickens in a certain
farm-yard were done feeding. Every
day, toward evening, he makes his
appearance in the .yard, hops to the
saucer, climbs in and rolls over and
over until he is covered with meal
and then lies still to await his prey.
He does not have long to wait, for the
flies attracted by the smell of the
meal, soon swarm around the tricky

toad, and whenever one passes within”

two inches of his nose his tongue
darts out and the fly disappears. His
plan has worked so well that he has
now taken it up as a regular business.

A PLEASURE TO LAZY PEOPLE.

It is Demonstrated That Constant ‘Work
.Poisons the Physic/8.1 System.

“He never loses a moment,” used
used to be thought an unequivocal com-
pliment. Now. we are not quite so sure
that it says much for the wisdom
of him to whom it is applied. From
many different directions comes the
testimony‘rth'at too much activity is
loss instead of gain, since overfatigu'e
poisons the physical system. . . ,

'An analysis has been made of th
poison engendered by fatigue, and it
has been found to be similar to the
ancient vegetable poison, curari, into
which the Indians used to dip their
arrows; and a most deadly poison it
was. The poison of fatigue is of the
same chemical nature, and is as truly
deadly if it is created more rapidly
than the blood can carry it Off. There
is no known antidote for this poison,
and its dangers beset alike the pleas-
ure-seeker and the worker.

An Italian physician recently ex-
amined'twenty-four bicycle riders after
they had ridden thirty-two miles in
two hours and a quarter.
found that in nearly every instance
the nervous system was so far affected

‘by fatigue that the hearing of the cy-

clist was defective. After a rest of
two hours most of them could hear
as well as. ever. ‘

Another practical test was made
upon fifty grammar school children
who were to take part in a written ex-
amination of two hours and a half.
Before entering upon the strain which
such an examination must necessarily
be, each child was instructed to lift
as much as he could with‘the dyna-
mometer. This was done to test the
muscular strength of each pupil be-
fore the examination.

After the work in the school room
was ended, the children were again
told rto lift as much‘ as "possible in the
same way. It was found that, with
one or two exceptions, they could not
lift as much by several pounds as they
had lifted before the examination.

It is now a demonstrated fact that
prolonged mental strain will diminish
the pulse, produce fullness and heavi-
ness of the head, and bring about pal-
pi'ta'tion of the heart.

 

GENIUS IN KNICKERBOCKERS

[low a. Small Boy Recovered a Lost Coin
and Was Paid.

A quarter fell from the old gentle-
man’s hands and rolled along the
platform until it lodged_ under. the
raised steps which term the edge of
the platform. There it lay in plain
view, but as unobtainable as the gol-
den apples of Hesperides. The loser
was the picture of rage.

“I don’t care about the blame coin,”
he wailed. “I’ve got ’em to burn; but
it just makes me mad to see that
quarter there, and I can’t get it."

“Gimme a dime, ‘mister,” said a
messenger boy, “and five cents for
expenses, and I’ll get yer mun.”

The man regarded the boy for a
minute, and said. “Go ahead.”

He returned in a few minutes with
his form working convulsively: In
his hand he had a piece of scautling.
The crowd watched him curiously.
From his mouth the boy took a well
masticated piece of chewing gum. He
stuck this on the end of the scantling,
and, thrusting the. stick through the
narrow space, pressed the soft and

sticky gum firmly on the lost coin.

Then he deftly drew it out and pre-
sented the money to its owner.

“Keep the whole outfit,” said the
man. “Boy, you’re a peach. We live
and learn,’ and he boarded a train,
his face wreathed in smiles. The
face of the boy was similarly deco-
rated.

 

Thcy TVere Partners.

The coal wagon backed up to the
curb, and the hand organ stopped at

'the corner .near bv at the same mo-

ment. The Italian woman in the
rainbow shawl cast hereyes heaven-
ward for copper manna, and the wa-
gon driver adjusted the crank for the
elevation of the wagon bed. The
crank of the organ and the crank of
the wagon revolved simultaneously,
and the air of the “Beautiful Blue
Danube” piiiiwinked upon the sum-
mer air. The wagon driver, with a
broad smile wrinkling his grimy face,
so regulated the speed of his crank as
to keep time with the music,.the iron
pawl on the ratchet wheel falling
into the notches with a ryth-
mic click-click-click-click—click-click—
click-click.” ‘

“Him and me is pardners. We trav-
els togcder. How do you like our mu-
sic? Ain‘t we butcs?” shouted the
driver to a man on the pavement who
had been stopped by the unusual time-
keeping of the ratchet wheel.

There was a momentary pause on
the part of the organ, and it began
with the music of thatcmodern oper.
etta which says: “Just .~tell them that
you saw me, and they willyknow the
rest.” ,, ‘4

“That’s the stud!" shouted the dri-
ver. “That’s me favorite tune! Kin I
play it'z Just hear me,” and the re-
quirements of the music kept the

ratchet wheel clicking with' the regu-

larity of a clock.

Again the organ changed the tune,

this time to a jig in a minor key.

“Hi, there!” shouted the driver.
“Me pardner’s changed the tune on
me agin without giving me the sig-
nal. That ’un'll makeme hump!” and
the succeeding clatter of the ratchet
wheel was a subdued imitation of the
tying up of a ferryboat.

The organ ceased, and the woman
in the rainbow shawl approached the
house with upturned tambourine. The
lriver wiped his forehead with a
nairy forearm and said:“Here’s where
i always kicks on the pardnership. I
ioes all the hard work, an’ me pard-
ier never divvies with me on that col-

' lection. I think I’ll quit him.”

It was,

The Gel-thin Government Spirits Away
the Self Made Sultan. \
ZANZIBAR, Oct. $3.—-An incident of great
political importance occurred here today,
resulting in decidedly strained relations
between the British and German ofi‘icials
ashore and which may lead to interna-
tional complications of a serious nature.

After the bombardment of the palace of
Zanzibar by the British gunboats Sparrow,
Thrush and Raccoon, Seyyid Khalid, who
had proclaimed himself sultan on Aug.
25. after the death of Seyyid Hamed bin
Thwain bin Said. sou‘ght‘ fefuge' at the
German consulate. A demand wasmad‘e
by the British authorities for his surreno
der, but the German consul, acting under
the instructions received from his govern-
ment, refused. This causad considerable
irritation and the matter has since been
the cause of correspondence.

The situation took a new turn today._
An unusually high tide prevailed, and
while it was touching the wall of the Ger-
man consulate, Khalid was placed, under
an escort of armed German sailors,‘ on
board the German cruiser Seeadler “for
conveyance, it is believed. to one of. the
German colonies.

The ‘Britl'sh consul here, Mr. Basil
Cave, in charge of the British agency dur-
ing the absence of Mr. A. H. Hardin‘s,
the British agent and consul general, who
has been to England in order to consult
with the home government regarding the
administration of Zanzibar, was not noti-
fied of the removal of Khalid to the Ger.-
man warship until after the usurper Was
safe on board the 'Sceadler. But? asvsoou'
as he became aware of the action of the
German authorities Mr. Cave lodged a
vigorous protest at the German consulate,
especially pointing out that the question
of his surrender to the British authorities
was still under discussion by the govern-
ments of Great Britain and Germany.

M’KANB’S MANY W033.

Ex-Boss of Coney Island 19' Now Fight-
ing Bis Brother.

BROOKLYN, Oct. 3,—The action of Cath-

erine Bauer of City Island against John Y.

McKane of Sing Sing prison for an 8-.

counting to recover $200, 000 worth of p -
erty her husband Jeft in trust for her,‘ 0-
Kane being the trustee, was up in the su-
preme court today on a motion for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for McKane's es-
tate.

To the surprise of all, the convict favor-
ed the motion, and it was opposed by his
brother, James MoKane, a builder, of
Coney Island, who says he is now the
rightful owner of the Bauer estate. He
says McKane bought it in at a sale and
deeded it to him to paya debt of $120,000.
MoKane denies this.

In an affidavit by the ex-boss, made in
Sing Sing, he alleged that his brother, act-
ing under a power of attorney, has collect-
ed above $60, 000 in rents that have not
been accounted for and has not paid over
the monthly sum he agreed to for the sup-
port of Mrs. McKane and her sans.

The ex-boss says that a receivership
would take the estate out of the hands of
his brother and preserve it till he gets out
of Sing Sing. Decision was reServed.

A‘ happy man is
j- a healthy man, and
healthy man is
generally happy.
You never saw a
happy man. in your
life who had indi-
gestion. If a in _
gets up in . e
morning with a
'foul taste and
fouler breath; if
he feels listless and
. sluggish ' if he is
dizzy and blind the
’ minute he steps
out of bed; if his breakfast doesn’t taste
good ; if he feels utterly incapable of work,
ll’ is a pretty sure sign that his digestion is
out of order—that his principal trouble is
censtipation. If he lets this condition run
on, there is no telling where it willpstop.
Nine '- tenths of all human sickness comes
from constipation. The first thing that
every doctor asks when he is called to see a
patient is whether the bowels are in good
order. It is nonsense to call a. doctor fol
such a simple thing. It is nonsense to let
eucha simple thing ow into such aserious
thing, as it always oes if neglected. Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation.
They not only afi'ord, immediate and pleas-
ant relief from all the distressing Symp-
toms, but they cure permanently and posi-
tively. There are 10,000 medicines that can
be taken, to give temporary relief. The
“ Pleasant Pellets " are the only things that
really care.

There are plenty of druggists who will
try to sell you something else. You know
just as well as We do that an honest
druggist wouldn’t do such a thing —-
that an honest druggist would give you
what you ask for. You know that when a
druggist insists on giving you something
else. there must be. creation for it. We

. know what that reason is—he makes a big-

ger profit on.the other thing. Any drug-
glst in Amencawill supply the “Pellets"

if you insist on it.
