NEW YORK ' LETTER.
When President King of the ”Mer-
chants’ Association told Mayor Van
Wyck vthatxthere ,were 40,000,000 per-
sons in the United States who had nev-
er seen the city of New York and had
an unfavorable opinion of it, the mayor
asked why. Mr. King replied that they
think it is a. corrupt city. The mayor
then laid the blame on the metropoli-
tan newspapers, which, he said, pub-
lish all the bad things that are done
here, and do not afterwards take the
trouble to correct the false impression
created. But even Mayor Van Wyck
can take no exception to the. way the
'L New York newspapers'are supporting
the work of the Merchants’ Associa-
tion. This is an organization for the
purpose of advertising the city of New
York in order to attract visitors and
increase trade. It is domg its work
Well and the newspapers are giving it
the most loyal support, realizing the
fact that if New York is to retain its'
commercial supremacy, it must ever
be vigilant and meet the competition
of other and no less enterprising cit-
ies. At a time when war is making
a neWs sensation every day, the papers
here are devoting columns to this as-
sociation. One of .t-he results of their
active co-operation is the fact that
. Mayor Van Wyck himself has woke up
to the importance of the movement,
and has assured a delegation represent-
ing the association, of his lively inter-
est in, and sympathy with, its work,
and of his desire to co-operate in every
way he could. ,
“Watching Cyclers.
A growing Sunday amusement in this
city is to line up along the Boulevard
and see the bicyclists go by. Fashion-
ably dressed men and women stand in
groups or stroll along separately or in
pairs, while hundreds of cyclists and
cyclistes glide by, forming an ever-
changing, ‘ particolored panorama of
human nature of every possible phase.
For the most part the crowd is respect-
ful and attentive, and only gives vent
to its emotions with half suppressed
“Abs!” and “Ohs!” as some particular-
ly fantastic costume on a slight fe-
male figure flashes past. And the an-
.rcient stout gentleman, who sits erect
in his gray suit, the small boy who
rides with his body horizontal, and im-
agines he is a “scorcher,” the tandem
lovers, and the bronzed‘ and alert po-
liceman, all receive proper attention.
We doubt whether Rotten Row or the
Bois is ever graced with such earnest
spectators and such varied dramatis
personae to look upon. And so Sunday
after Sunday the crowd lines up with
unfailing regularity for its bicycle mat-
inee.
The Martins to Live in-England.
The Bradley Martins, having lived so
much abroad, now announce this condi-
tion permanent, and have therefore
bought a magnificent house in London.
Well, their money may be missed, but
not its‘owners. It is surprising to See
the humble origin of these worshipers
of foreign style. Bradley Martin" is
the son .of an old fashioned ‘Albany
cashier, while his wife is the daughter
of an equally old fashioned
dealer. who, by economy and industry,
became a. multi-millionaire. How these
old fashioned capitalists would have
been shocked could they have knoWn
that their hard earned wealth would
be spent in a foreign land! It now ap-
pears »that the grand costume ball that
the Bradley Martins gave last year
at the Waldorf—Astoria was intended
_as a social farewell, but perhaps the
country can get on without them.
L A 600 Typewriters in'One Company.
The constant.increase in typewriting
is one of the features of the present
day, and the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company has 600 machines in ser-
vice. Typewriters, however, are in-
creasing in numbers far too rapidly,
and it is "estimated that nearly one
thousand are now out of employment
in this city. Stenography generally ac-
companies typewriting and brings in-
crease of pay. Chauncey M. Depew and
other leading business men never trav-
el without a private secretary posses-
sing both of these equipments, and the
pay under such conditions is generally
$25 per week, but ordinarily typewrit-
ers do well to earn one-half or even
one-third of this rate.
Elbridge T. Gerry Didn’t Sell.
Among those who did not rush at the
top of their speed to sell their steam
yachts to the government when the
present war broke out was Elbridge '1‘.

owns the handsome and comfortable
steam yacht Electra, which is one of
the most satisfactory craft of her kind

reports it seems highly improbable
that the Spanish warships will inter-

The Elevated Opera-lacs the Bridge.
The Broollyn Bridge Railroad will
no longer be operated by the city of
New York. Under a. contract entered
into by Bridge Commissioner Shea and
the receiver of the Brooklyn Elevated
railroad, and ratified by the supreme
court, the Brooklyn Elevated has taken
possession of *the bridge railroad and
will operate it; paying $20,000 a. year-
for track privileges and ten cents a car
toll. The city will be relieved of the
heavy expense of operating the railroad
and it is hoped that a deficit in the
finances of the bridge Will be avoid~

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Special Correspondence
Major Joseph W. Wham, paymastcr
in the United States army, has been un-
der. a strange and distressing sentence
since 1894, when President Cleveland. in.
mitigating a. sentence of dismissal, de-
cided that Major Wham should be sus-
pended from duty until 1904 at half pay.
Recently Major Wham’s friends
brought forward a bill to restore him
to duty, which could only be done by
setting aside the court martial finding.
The bill was passed by the House, hav-
ing been recommended by Secretary
Alger, who had examined the history
of the case and concluded that the man
had been too severely punished. The
House took that view of the case, for it
seems from the accounts of it in the
report which was made toCongress
that Wham’s army record was good
from the time he was agprivate soldier
during the rebellion; that he had since
that time distinguished himself for sol-
dierly qualities, and that the transac-
tion for'which he was court martialed
was one with a private citizen involving
the question of the payment of a. note
of $1,000. Wham neglected to make the
proper defence in the case brought
against him for payment of the $1,000,
and he was very vigorously prosecuted
as soon as he ventured to become a
candidate for paymaster general of
the army. During the debate this was
alluded to, and there was also Some
rather vague criticism of the composl<
tion of the court martial. Some mem;
i bers of the House objected to paying
,Major Wham his full salary for the
years he had not served, but Mr. Ray
.of New York very quickly suggested
is still going on.
that if he had been improperly or
wrongfully sentenced, the government
ought to pay him, in justice, as‘the re—
storation to the pay roll was: an ad-
mission that he should never have been
taken from it.
Gen. Henderson's Kindness.
General 'Henderson, “Dave" HenderQ
Ion, as his intimates call him, who has
represented the Third Iowa district
since the Forty-eighth COngress, is one
of the best liked and most popular men
in Congress. He is said to have _been
absolutely fearless and brave in action,
during his service in the civil war, yet
his heart. is as tender as a woman’s.
and men who fought under him tell
stories of his kindness and "sympathy
for his boys who‘were wounded.
One poor fellow in his command was
shot through the lungs when loading
his gun, and fell to the ground shriek-
ing and cursing with pain. The wound
was, of course. mortal, the service of
the surgeon of no avail, so the chaplain
was brought to comfort and prepare
him for death. When General Hender-
son arrived on the scene he found the
dying soldier still shrieking and ours—
ing and the chaplain busy with his
prayers, exhorting the poor victim to
stop cursing'and prepare for death,
saying that hevmight be damned if he
:went into the presence of his maker
blaspheming‘.‘ The chaplain’s ministra-
tions were as perfunctory as possible,
and waving him aside, General Hen~
derson sat down by the side of .the.
dying man.
“You are a hero, my brave fellow,”
he Said, laying his strong hand upon
the poor writhing form, “just as great
a hero as though you died at the front
by the enemy’s bullets. You have giv-
en your life for your country, man,
nobly given it, and your country will
be grateful. Let that console you. Grit
your teeth and die like a. brave soldier.
like the hero that you are.”
“Is that true, colonel? Is that true?”
gasped the dying man. “Am I dying
for my country? God bless you for
those words of comfort. God bless you
and thank you, sir," and smiling peace-
fully the poor fellow lay back on his
pillow and the few moments left him
were passed in contentment. .
New Poul-Offices. g.
The postoffice department always re-
flects, in its list of new postoflices some
of the popular feeling. Occasionally it
reflects something else, but when he-
roes are being made the postoflice de-
partment finds it out. Since the recent
war broke out there has been a distinct
tendency to prove this. Immediately
after the capture of Manila the naming
of postoflices for Dewey began, and it
A new one pops out
every dayor two. Immediately after
the destruction of the fleet of Cervera
a postot‘fice with the name of Schley
was established. None of the land
forces have won postoflice names as
yet. Hanna is selected new and then
for a new postoffice. A new ofiice in
Oklahoma is named for Alger. Secre-
tary Bliss has not yet begun to name
postoflices, the number of offices by,
that name being ten, or just the same
as on March 4, 1897. A few offices were
named for the late postmaster general,
Mr. Gary, but the demand for that
name seems to have expired with the
retirement of that gentleman from of-
fice. SENATOR.
Shipping Bees in Ice.
It is not generally known that a»
great many insects can live for weeks
in a state of suspended animation un—
der the influence of cold, and‘yet re-
vive' if slowly thawed out. This fact
has been taken advantage of lately in
the shipping of bees. Different _va—
rieties of bees are often sent from
England to her colonies, but cos-t heav-
ily to send alive with% plenty of food._
Now they are frozen, packed quite'
firmly in a very smalf'box, and thawed
out on their arrival. A number of
bumble bees have recently been
shipped to New Zealand in this man-
ner, where they are found most useful
in fertilizing the red clover that has
lately been introduced into that colony...

THE JOSEPH LADUE
GOLD MINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PBIGE OF SHARES TO BE ADVANCED AUGUST 31. IBQB.
Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer of the Klondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conservative and successful finan-
ciers of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields.
To this Company he has transferred placer claims on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “Marguerite” Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Ti ber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the
K1011 ‘
, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.
The Company also owns the S. S. “ Morgan City” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured.
The U. S. Government
reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which is from $140 to $240 per 1,000 feet
according to class. 4.

Common Stock,

is
The preferred stock has a first lien on earnings for its dividend,
and on the assets of the Company for its par value, and after all the
stock of the Company has received 6 per cent, the surplus earnings are
shared pro mm by the preferred and common stock.
, Thus the preferred stock practically offers the safeguards and advantages
of a first mortgage bond, coupled with an earning capacity as great as that of
the common stock.
The undersigned has obtained a. short option on a block of this preferred
stock which he now offers at par, $10.00 per share.
This option terminates
August sxst, 1898, after which the price of the preferred stock will be.
advanced by the Company to $12.50 per share.
This is the last opportunity to get the preferred stock at' par, and
in time to participate in the autumn dividend. Sha'res will be 3.110th in the
order subscriptions are received.
