Howells Sayn They Rarely Tell . a Good Story. From the Century. { I must say that his statement of his own case is usually incoherent, and sometimes The poor fel- lows have very little imagination or inven- tion; they might almost as well be realistic novelists. I find that those who strike me fora night's lodging, when they stop me in the street at night, come as a rule from Pittsburg, and are iron workers of -some sort; the last one said he was a puddler, “a skilled mechanic,” he explained—“what 1s ‘called a skilled mechanic;” and, of course, he was only watching for some chance to get back to Pittsburg, though there was no chance of work, fron what he told me, after he got there. On the other hand, I find that most of those who ask by day for money to get a dinner are from Philadelphia, or the rural parts of eastern Pennsylvania, though within six months I have extended hospitality (1 think that Is the right phrase) to two archi- tectural draftsmen from Boston. They were both entirely decent-looking, sober- looking young men, who snoke Iike men of education, and they each gratefully ac- cented a qnarter from me. I do not at- tempt to account for them. for they made No attemnt ta account for themselves; and I think the effect was more artistic s9. I am rarely approached by any professad New Yorker, which fs perhans a proof of the suverior Industry or prosperity of our city; but now and then a fellow-citizen who has fallen out asks me for monev in the street, and nerhaps enes_ straight and spends it for drink. Drink, however. is 2s Necessary In some forms as fond itself, and a rich. generous vort wine {s often de- serlhed for Invalids. These men. without excention, look like invalids, and I have no doubt that they would nrefer to buy a rich. Kenerous nort wine if I gave them money enough. T never do that. though I have a means of making my alms seem greater, to myself at least, by practicing a little cordialitv with the poor fellows. I do not give grudgingly or silenty. but J sav. if T give at all, when they ask me, “Why, of rse!”" or “Yes, certainly:” and some- times T invite them to use thelr feeble pow- ers of invention in mv behalf. and tell how they wish me to think they have come to the sad pass of begearv. This seams to flatter them. and it makes me fe2] much better, which is really my motive for doing Now and then they will offer me some anology for begging, in a tone that rays, “TI know how St is myself;” and once there was one who began by saying. “I know it's a shame for a strong man like me to be begeine, but—” They seldom have any de- vices for working me, beyond the simple statement of their destitution: though there was a case in which I helned a noor fellow raise a quarter upon a postal order. which he then kept as a pledge of mv good faith. Their main rellance seema té he lead-nen- ells. which they have fn all Inferior variety. T find that they will take it kindly if you do not want any¥ change batk when you have given them a coin worth more than they ask for the pencil, and that they will even let you off without taking the nencil after you have bought It. In the end you have to use some means to'save yourself from the accumulation of pencils. unless you are willing to burn them for kindling wood, and T find the simplest. way Is not to take them after you have pald for them. Tt Is amusing how quickly vou can estab- lish a comity with these pencil people: they will not only let you leave your pencils with them. but they will sometimes excuse you from buying {f you remind them that you have bought of them lately. Then, if thev do not remember you. they at least smile politely, and pretend td do so. oo _+—_ Want the Capital Moved. A new political party has been organized in Kansas and a call issued for a state con- vention at Topeka on September 5. It will be called Independent Americans, and it ts hoped to unite under its banrer the Ameri- can Protective Assoctation, the Junior Or- der of United American Mechanics and other crders. Members of these orders are invited to the state convention. The call is for Americanism, free coinage of silver and the removal of the national capital to a more central location. A national con- ference is to be called by the Topeka con- yention. ——+e+ Kaiser William was heartily cheered on his short visit to Heligcland yesterday.

The Counsel of Ex-Consul Waller Ask for Contributions. The counsel of ex-Consul Waller, now confined in a French prison, have issued an appeal to the American people for contri- butions to a fund to enable his wife and children, now stranded at Mayritius, to re- turn to the United States. After stating the facts in the case of Waller, the appeal 8) “Funds are needed to bring Mrs. Waller and her family home. She has important evidence in sypport of her husband’s inno- cence of the charge on which he was con- victed by the French court-martial at Tamatave. The Department of State is in- quiring into Waller's claim against the French government for illegal arrest and imprisonment, and the virtual confiscation of a vgluable concession which had been granted him by the Queen of Madagascar, but has no funds available for bringing Mrs. Waller and her children to the United States. “It is believed that a grievous wrong has been done to Messrs. Waller and Bray by the French military authorities in their war of conquest against Madagascar, for which, sooner or later, apology will be made to the United States and indemnity paid to the sufferers. “But this appeal is made to citizens of the United States without regard to the question of Waller's guilt or innocence. His wife and family are American citizen: and, through no fault of theirs, are des- titute and helpless, far away from home. It is to be regretted that the government has no funds available for such cases as that of Mr. Waller's family, and it is on this account that an appeal is made to the general public. “All contributions may be sent to the De- partment of State, and, as the case is urgent, an immediate and liberal response is Invoked from the American people.” ————_-e-—____ Currency and Bonds.
