GOSSIP OF THE BIG CITY Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, August 2, 1895. A part of the population of New York is having a great deal of fun with Mr. Roosevelt's attempt to enforce the excise law on Sunday. I asked the porter of my hotel if he could send an express pack- age for me last Sunday and he looked at me reproachfully. “On Sunday!” he said. “You don’t seem to know the kind of town they’re trying to make this.” This vein of ridicule which runs through the public estimation of Mr. Roosevelt's efforts has not the least influence on Mr. Roosevelt. Neither has the ridicule which has been heaped on him personally by the cartoonists. Roosevelt's teeth have fur- nished the comic artist with a weapon which he has not been slow to wield. Some men possess no marked characteris- tie which can be turned to comic purposes. General Harrison's nose was the distin- guishing feature in all the comic drawings of him, just as Roscoe Conkling’s hyperion curl was exaggerated for purposes of cari- cature. Senator Hill has a peculiarly spreading nose and a prominently bald head, and C. G. Bush of the Evening Tele- gram has made these wonderfully useful in his pictorial flings at the Senator. Quay’s eye is a mark for the caricaturist, and so are Allison's peculiar beard and curly hair. If Mr. Roosevelt had not been gifted with a set of very prominent tecth the average newspaper reader would have had to take the cartoons of him with a distinguishing label. As it is, the teeth are the cartoonist’s trade mark, and a picture of a man with a curly mustache and well-displayed front teeth is recog- nized immediately as a burlesque of the president of the New York police commis- sion. “Me and My.” While the cartoonist has seized on the physical peculiarity of Mr. Roosevelt, the editorial paragrapher has begun to take notice of a mental trait which distin- guishes the young reformer. When he was in Washington Mr. Roosevelt was so much the governing spirit of the civil service commission that people considered him re- sponsible-fer about all that the commis- sion did. At least to newspaper readers civil service reform and Roosevelt were in- terchangzable terms. Mr. Roosevelt said: “I propose to do this’ and “I propose to accomplish that,” and the public knew that “I” meant the civil service commission. Mr. Roosevelt has retained this habit of using the persoral proncun “I” in all his public statements. He does it uncon- sciously, I know, for when a recent inter- view with him was submitted for revision and approval he found great fault with the “I and “my” which ran through it. But all that Mr. Rodsevelt says for publl- cation is not revised; and the New York papers are taking up his talk about “my men” and “what I will do next Sunday,” and trying to stir up strife in the police board. They speak of the other commis- sioners as ‘Roosevelt's puppets,” and strive to create Giscord in the board. Up to this time they have not sueceeded in making trouble. Rum on Sunday. The latest attempt to break up the board's resolution to enforce the excise law Is the announcement that the attempt is a failure. If surface Indications are of any value, this is not true. I was about New York last Sunday and the Sunday be- fore, and the city had a “drier” appear- ance on the second than It had on the first Sunday. Of course, hundreds of saloons but I noticed that the “Jook- at a certain notorious saloon was off duty, though the Sunday befory he had been at his post. And the night clerk of my hotel informed me not long ago that if any saloon in town kept open this one uld. I know that It keeps open after 1 jock in the morning, for I penetrated to its bar at a quarter of an hour after the closing time, guided by the sugs an inquiry for an all-night dru When the police stand on street corners and direct thirsty citizens where they can find Uquor during the close period there ts the not muck son to be surprised at excise law. If Mr. Roosevelt and his leagues had been permitted by the lexi ture to reorganize the force, the offi who “cap” for the saloons’ might have found some other occupation, and the Sun- day closing movement might be a more pronounced success. The Fat Man's Grievance. Whatever physiological reasons there are for it, the fact exists that the police force is made up in large part of fat men. And this is a distinct cause of grievance with a certain class of Sunday citizens who are ambitious to assist in the breaking of the excise law. The man who stands at the door of the bar room to turn back the po- lice eadfastly refuses to admit any f 3 girth unless he is personally known to be an ene- my of reform. “I can't get Into a saloon in this town after hours,” sald a fat but good- natured citizen to me recen fat they all take me for a poll n The stranger who comes to New York in these days must not go sight seeing on Sun- day unless he is prepared to be made a mark for ridicule.

In either case, he is likely to have a Ilvely reception, its ex- act nature depending in some degree on the character of the neighborhood. So also the man with the bottle of mineral water who is making his way home from the drug store Sunday morning is set down as the bearer of bottled ruin, and the populace is on a broad grin as he passes. r Contraband Drug Stores. A singular effect of the Sunday agitation is the fact that it has reached the “‘contra- band” drug stores. In fact, the agitation of the excise question has caused more than one of these stores to stop the sale of Mquor except to regular customers. The evil is one which should have been correct- ed long ago, but I suspect that the fact that three of these drug-store saloons are located in the vicinity of Newspaper Row has had much to do with the fact that this violation of tne law has been tolerated. Some years ago a fabulous sum was paid for the gooc-will of a down-town drug store, and it was said that the fame of the “soda” sold at its fountain constituted the chief consideration. The fact was that the enormous trade of this store in alcoholic drinks made it valuable. One or two expert mixers of fancy drirks were constantly behind the soda counter, and you could get almost anything - you chose to order in the way of punches, eggnog and so on. The example of this store was followed by others, both uptown and downtown, and now bottles plainly labeled “Milk Punch,” etc., stand in glass cases in the soda foun- tains of these stores, and the list of these fancy drinks is hung at the side of the fountain. If I wished to be sensational I would say that I had seen women order- ing these tipples at the fountains. The fact is that I have not. But there is no reason why any woman should not order her drink here, for the chief customers of these fountains are women. The authori- ies of Washington and other cities which have made crusades against alcoholic drinks at soda fountains—iight wine sirups and other comparatively harmless flavor- ings—should study the bar rooms which masquerade as drug stores in New York. HIN and Politics. The demoeratic party is chuckling over the work of Reformer Roosevelt, and Sen- ator Hill told me in conversation a few days ago that there was lively competition in the party for places on the ticket to be named this fall. At the last state election it was almost impossible to get men to 2ecept nominatiors, and this was the only reason Mr. Hill took the nomination for governor, and lay down in the road for the Juggernaut of, ‘reform’ to roll over him. When he accepted the action of the con- vention it was with the firm purpose of withdrawing from the ticket and putting in some other man. But the other man could not be found, and it would have been fatal to the democratic. organization to have gone into the campaign without a standard bearer. So Mr. Hill accepted, and he directed his entire attention, ngt to ihe governorship, but to the defeat of the con- stitutional amendments. He wanted to deat the reapportionment,and the smallness of tke majority cast for it demonstrated that if a little more enthu- siasm had been shown by the democrats throughout the state the reapportionment might have been beaten. Mr. Hill is at Normandie-by-the-Sea this week, but he is spending most of his summer In Albany directing the campaign. He cannot get away from politics altogether, even in the dull season. But this is not su duit season in politics. Campaigns are won and lost in the summer months, an all of the ticians in New York state «re taking r an active interest in the development cf chances. Death of Amusements. As to the New York public, it has to turn to the Roosevelt police board for amuse- ment, because there is no other entertain- ment. Most of the theatrical busir of the city is bemg dene at the roof gardens and the amusement provided these places fs of the coarsest, crudest slums of the variety been dragged for mater! entertainment calculated to drive the au- to driak—foz the sale of beer is the ‘ource of revenue of the proprietors of these places. Of course if the summer public in New York wants this sort of thing the man- ers are not to be blamed wholly for pro- ding It. Rut let no stranger to New York be deceived into going to a roof garden unless he is prepared to a poor form of the enter-:ainment of the cheap variety style. B ood THEIR SUNDAY GROG. Honest and Dfshonest Enforcement of the New York Excise Law. From Life. ‘To shut off the Sunday grog of the people of a great city like New York seems on the face of it an act of very doubtful expedi- Mr. Ttooseyelt and his fellow com- oners have done it, but {f it is mad- ness on their parts It is madness with a method In it. The law under which the New York saloons are now. closed on Sun- day has been on the statute book since er Hill was governor. The Senator ently took Mr, Roosevelt and his col- leagues to task for not enforce! moderation, as their source of widespread complaint and public inconvenience. Mr. Roosevelt's answer Is that Tammany en- forced the Sunday law against saloons that had no pull, and did not enforce tt against the rest, Un- der Tammany the saloon keepers who stood in with Tam- many or who could afford to bribe the police, kept open on Sunday and the This partial and dis- honest enforcement of the excise law, Mr. Roosevelt Was the very corner stone of municipal corruption in New York. It gorrupted the whole police department and kept it corrupt. The present excise law is rot a law which the present police com- missioners profess to admire, but while ft continues to be a law they intend to en- force it without favor or discrimination. Like pallida mcrs in the Roman verse, they propose to kick with impartial foot at ail side doors, and, whether the liauor seller inside is rich and Influential or poor and destitute of pull, won't make any differ- ence. How strange, how almost incredible, it scems to see the police department of New York in the hands of men who aspire to aimin it without making use of its tunities of blackmail! How such ess must sicken Croker! How stomach must be turned by it!

The Cow Puncherifells How He Fail- ed to Get Rich. ‘The cow puncher was taking It easy on a baggage truck at the_station of the western town, as the drummer came along the plat- form with his sample case in his hand. His name, Hertborn, was’ on one end of it, and this attracted the cow puncher’s attention. “Excuse me,” he sgid very politely, “but is that your name onsthe satchel?” “Yes, why?’ and ‘the drummer stopped, just as any well-regijlated drummer would do under the c:rcumgtances. “Any kia to John B«Hertborn, that used to be in the mining business out here about seven years ago?” ‘5. “He was a second, cousin of mine. Did you know him? I understood he had been killed out here somewhere, but I never learned the particulars, for we didn’t know each other personally.” “I reckon I did know him,” asserted the cow puncher sliding over on the truck as an invitation to the drummer to sit down, [which was accepted, “and we were partners in a way till he was killed. He was a lucky cuss and I wasn’t, and I kind of hung onto him and he didn’t object, for I kKnowed the country and he didn’t.” “Do you know anything about the kill- ing?” inquired the late Mr. H.’s second cou- sin, “We never found out who done it, but I was there at the time and seen it all; that is, all there was of it, which wasn’t much. Just the samee,” and the cow puncher swore viciously, “it knocked me out of a fortune and left me right where you see me today, and in the fix you see me, punchin’ cattle for a living and not having much fun between meals.”” “Tell me how it was. I am very anxious to know.” “Good enough. Hertborn and me had been knocking around at various jobs, him payin’ me so much a week, and he had laid by $50,000 in the Denver bank. I'd saved his life once or twice in some of the scraps he had got Into, and he felt grateful, and when at last he was threat- ened by a greaser, he told me he guessed he would give me a check for the full amount, and if anything happened to him I could keep it.” “He must have thought a good deal of you,” said the drummer. “Well, he did, but it wasn’t altogether on that account he was letting me have the money. He had a wife that he was separ- ated from, and that he hated, and he didn’t want her to have {t. Anyway, I was to get it, so he said, and every now and then I reminded him of it and told him it was getting more dangerous every day, for the greaser was around looking for him, and would shoot him or stick a knife in him sometime when he hadn't a chance to look out for himself. One night we was setting in an office or a kind of a one, talking to a couple of lawyers, when the check business come up and he told them what he was thinking about doing. They told him he'd better do it, and told him how to fix it legal, and he got up and went over to a desk by a winder that opened out into a lot and begun to write the check. I was standin’ behind him watching him, for while I didn’t want his money as long as he lived, and didn’t want him killed so’s I'd get it, I wasn’t objectin’ to it in case Provi- dence went back on him, leavin’ me with the boodle. He wrote my name in the blank after ‘Pay to the order of’ and filled up the blank below with ‘fifty thousand,’ and was just making the ‘J’ of his first name in the signature blank, when bang went a gun outside, his head dropped on the paper, some blood was spattered over the desk and my fortune was knocked high- er than the top of Pikejs Peak on a January morning. We broke through the winder and went huslin’ after whoever it was fired the shot, but he got away, and we never found out whi done the killin’. If it was the greaser, he got his reward right soon, for he was, shot in a scrap three weeks later, down in Arizona, the first we had heard of him since Hertborn was killed, but that didn’t do mé any good, and the wife got the money after all.” As the cow puncher finished his story, the train whistled, and the drummer hadn't even so much time ag to take him to the saloon across the street and pay for some- thing to drown his sorrows in. — ANS / ECONOMY.

THE WIDDER WUZ WILLIN’. ken- What She Knew About Jim Bh ship and His Attractions. “Jim Blankenship was the beau-gallant of the Pine mountains,” sald a man who has seen a good deal of mountain life and lumbering to a reporter of The Star. “A moonshiner by profession, a shooter by instinct, ard a saw-mill hand by adop- tion, he combined in his make-up all those qualifications which commended him to the romantic ideas of mountain womanhood. “I had been paying Jim a dollar a day and ‘found’ for the past six months as a helper about the mill, and on the day of which this chronicle narrates I was to meet him about ten miles'up the river to look over a lot of logs he had been collect- ing. “As I rode along, wondering why in thunder anybody stayed in that rough country who wasn't compelled to, I over- took a woman on horseback. She was rather better looking than the average, and, what vas somewhat unusual, she was quite ‘sprightly,’ and when I saluted her, as is the custom of the country, she re- sponded in a tone which suggested that I might continue my conversation without meeting with her disapproval. “The Lord knows the mountains are lonely enough even with companionsnip, and when I found some one to talk to I didn’t look my gift horse in the mouth, but accepted with pleasure anything that the gods gave. “Of course, I didn’t know who she was, but that cut no Ice, and I immediately pro- ceeded to let myself out. “She was about thirty-five years of age end as sharp as a briar, and we found not the slightest difficulty in having plenty to talk about. “ ‘I reckon,’ she ‘sald, after we had got well under way, ‘that you air the man that is with them timber people, ain't you?” “ Yes,’ I replied, ‘but why did you think so? “‘T seed you down at the mill t'other day, and Jim Blankenship told me you wuz the bess.’ “‘Oh, you know Jim, do you” and I -d. si i ““In conrse,’ she admitted, with a faint blush, ‘everybody in these parts knows Jim. ‘He was born and riz here,’ “‘He’s a fine fellow, Is Jim,’ I said ad- miringly. ‘Not many like him In the moun- tains, I fancy? «Ain't none,’ she corroborated, with a degree of positiveness which indicated that, notwithstanding Jim wasn’t quite thirty, he had been as polite to the older as to the younger women. “‘He's a great ladies’ man, too,’ I went cn innocently. “So [ve heerd.

A lady may, if she is positively unable to have gold set with rhinestones, wear silver garter buckles, but they should be modestly small. As for silver handled umbrellas and belt buckles, they are quite passe in- deed!” Oh, my! Did you ever read of any- thing so absurd? Why, to the notion of The Star writer, there is no metal quite so pretty as silver, or capable of finer manipu- lation.

Then, silver has another merit, in that it is one of the precious metals, and shows exactly what it is. Gold, in the quantity that silver Is worked up, would look bar- baric. When it is set with colored stones, it looks heathenish, and there can be no ccmparison_ made between the beauty of the two. “French gilt” has tried very hard to-take the place of silver, but ir is not “real,” and American women of reiined tastes would much rather wear the simple silver ornaments than be accused of wear- ing “imitation” precious metals. It is safe to say that no amount of talk of that kind will make an American market for the tawdry ornaments in the base yellow metal that comes over here with the French stamp. There a swell new fad in jewelry called a ining ring You couldn't call it weet,” because anything so big and clum- sy couldn't be dignifiel by that term. It is to be worn on the first finger, and is said to look like a dinner plate seen through the “other” end of an opera glass. The favor- ite form for this remarkable bit of orna- ment is a shieid, covering the first joint en- tirely. It is set with alternate rows of two or more kinds of stones, anything that will sparkle and flash, and they may be as big as you can afford. The next favorite in form is a square set with nine stones, a row of diamonds, one of rubles, and & third of emeralds or tur- quoises. If you are the fortunate possessor of oid heirlooms in the shape of mourning rings, with the “relict’s” hair in the: bishop's rings, or signet rings of any kind, which you have never had a chance to show, trot them to the front, and be quick about it, for this chronicier’s word for it, this fad will be short-lived.
