BROADWAY es FAMOUS SQUAD Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, February 18, 1898. AMMANY HAS been in for a month and ai half and Greater New York is not yet exactly wide open, as the meaning of that phrase is in- terpreted by the per- ennially youthful old boys who hark back longingly and regret- fully to other- days. But it is opening. There is no deny- ing that fact.

Deeply imbedded in the bland soul of the average New York man is the conviction that all Americans who do not live within a radius of twenty miles of the New York city hall are fitted by appearance, manner and the influence environment to assume star parts in ‘The Old Homestead” or “Shore Acres.” The population of Greater New York being in round numbers, say, 4,000,000, the re- mainder cf the population of the United States of America (about 66,000,000 human beings. also in round numbers) is made up of “Rubes” and “Zekes"—this is the actual faith of the born-and-reared New York man. It is not the New York anglomaniac alone who now refers to the outlying states as “the provinces.” The phrase is co # into general use here. It sounds both thetic and funny when emitted from the lips of the New York young man or woman who has never been farther away from ‘ew York than Coney Island or Rockaway : Beach. It is about as diffi- cult to convince a New York man of the absolute truth of the statement that the ainiest and most successful men of the big town came originally to New York from other states (not infrequently, indeed, from the farm). g ally in their young man- it is to persuade a San Francisco t the climate of his city is barbar- ora ous, jcago man that the sky is not cago than it is over any earth, lives in any municipality in this of more than Mn) inhabitants, Maine to California and from Micht- &an to the gulf, any class of provincials more prodigiousiy and absolutely cial than the average born-an Yorker the present writer has simply never happened to meet up with them.

The general stam- fe to the vaudeville boards helped the unfortunate theatrical third-raters out a good deal last year, but that game has now been overdone, and the vaudeville manag- ers now demand combinations of all-stars to maunder and drivel through their in- sipid “sketches” in the music hall atmos- phere of tobacco smoke and Martigny cock- tail aroma. The third-raters, men and wo- men, simply can't get jobs on the stage of any sort whatsoever, even in the fi by- pight “Box and Cox” teatis thrust to- gether by Bowery bunco artists for the in- fliction of one-night New England stands. Many of them have not only actually got heyond the mere remote contemplation of the possibility of being compelled to earn @ living in some other way, but have really gone to work. I met half a dozen very bad young actors, who, however, found hardly an¥ difficulty in getting engagements a few years ago, in the down-town district the other day, and all of them had ink on their fingers and that general look—it was the noon hour—of men who have just bolted four chocolate eclairs and a cup of coffee for luncheon. They told me they were “clerking,” but the old dreamy look came into their eyes when they talked of the stage, and it was plainly to be seen that their clerking lives palled upon them heavily and that they each and all felt themselves to be very much abused men. The unengaged who have only ar- rived at the point of meditating upon how it might feel to go to work at something else, hang around dismally and disconso- lately in the genera! vicinage of 28th street and Broadway, mournfully ‘moaning of other and brighter da. cussing the “‘syn- dicate” and dining rarely, rarely. The Newmarket coats of the unengaged women of the stage seem to take on an additional shabbiness with their every appearance on the street, but they are girded up by the philosophy and capacity for endurance which women possess in such greater de- gree than men, keep up brave hearts, and make no faces at destiny. “But I'm learning how to work the type- writer, all the same,” sald one of them to me the other day. This new Broadway squad of seventy cops that the New York papers have been telling you so much about and bragging over so boyishly, is, on the whole, as fun- ny a looking lot of municipal grenadiers as you'd care to see. Not one of them, say the New York papers, is less than six feet in height. This sounds big, and what is more it’s true. But there are few members of this Broadway squad who do not just naturally make people who have been out on the slope think of the huge California beets that are exposed for sale in the mar- kets—huge and of fine color, but twisted and distorted all out of shape by the swift precociousness of their growth, pulpy as a soggy mess of soaking papler mache, and unsubstantial as man-o'-war cracker hash. Most of these mammoth Broadway cops look as if they had attained all of their height at the tender age of fourteen, say, and as if they had only been physically maturing In spots ever since. The collec- tion of bowed legs, knock-knees, narrow shoulders sloping down to massive stom- achs, among this squad of lordlings over truck drivers. is worth the price of admis- sion in itself. Sixty of the seventy have beautifully-pomatumed red mustaches that are easily capable of being tied around their necks in figure-of-eight knots. and each of them thinks he is a very beautifully thing indeed. New York people demand and get music with their restaurant meals of late years. There is mus of one sort or another in all of the high-class table d’hotes—but the New Yorker Cocsn't stand for music that hoots over his head, as, it is feared, a good deal of music does. I went into a big new table d'hote st 34th street the other evening at the ner hour. There is an Italian orchestra of about a dozen piec ail strings and wood, there. The men are ll good mu and the violinist in chief is an st of a sort one would searcely expect to find catering to the mu- sical caprices of table d’hotet The open- ing number was a very beautiful violin solo, with harp accompaniment. The vio- linist performed the composition with ex- pression and brilliance. The table d’hoters watched his manipulation of chords on the E and A strings around the bridge with dully-curious eyes, and rattled their forks and jabbered. The second number was an arrangement for the whole orchestra—a medley of “coon” songs, with “On the Banks of the Wabash” for a starter. The hundreds of table d’hoters shuffled their feet in unison with the music, hummed the successive tunes, and gave the orchestra a vociferous “hand’ at the conclusion of the mess. Over here people always get what they want—and are capable of under- standing. ————e ABOUT THE PRINCE OF WALES. Personalities Called From the New Book of His Life Just Oat. Frem the New York Journal.

(Copyright, 1808, the S. 8. McClure Co.) From time immemorial the land of the Caliphs has abounded in story tellers, and today one of the chief diversions of the Turkish people is the teiling of tales. One of these stories which I like particularly is a version of the prodigai son, and this 1 have put into English as follows, getting it, I ought to say, by word of mouth and not from any book. There was once a venerable mudir, or governor, who had everything in the world he could ask for, fortune, and the respect of his fellows, and the consciousness of a well-spent life, everything save the knowl- edge that his only son was growing up to be a good and useful man. Alas, it was quite the contrary, and the mudir saw with sadness that the young man was restive under all restraint and impatient of whole- some counsels, caring only for the pursuit of pleasure and passing his time more and more with idle and vicious companions. In vain he reasoned and pleaded with his son, showing him, now in anger, now in tears, what the outcome of such living must be, how he would squander his herl- tage as many had done before him, and lose his gay friends and finally sink to the lowest depth. Sometimes the young man would be moved by these words to re- pentance. and fair promises, but these he would soon forget all about, and go back as before to his feasting and drinking, his gambling and reveling. At last a day came when the mudir saw that he was near to die; s0 he sent for his son and spoke to him with tender words. “My son,’ he said, “I have loved thee well in my life and I love thee well now that my days are spent. Thy follies have grieved me, but I have forgiven them, and if anything remains I forgive that freely. Ail that I have shall be thine, this place and all my lands and all my gold. Would that I could leave thee also my good name. I give thee no counsels, my son, for 1 know they would be vain. But I ask of thee this promise—that if the day comes, as it will, when all the glitter of pleasure that tempts thee now has changed to ashes, when those who have feasted with thee turn their backs on tny distress, when thou hast no friend in the world, and no food to put into thy mouth, then, when in the bitterness of thy heart thou shalt re- solve to die, go to the stable where the asses are and hang thyself with a halter thou wilt find made ready.” Having spoken thus, the mudir gave his son his blessing, and after a few days he was gathered to his ancestors. And the young man mourned his father with deep sincerity, and resolved with all his heart that now he would carry out the wise pre- cepts which he had so sadly neglected. And for a time he led a worthier life, so that sume thovght he had left his evil , to return to them no more. But this was not to be. The bonds of habit were toc strong, the noddings of pleasure too alluring, and in a little time the young man was back with his merry friends again, and now his madness knew no bounds, for he wished to forget his father end the resolutions he had made and the prayers he had said. And the news of his follies spread to distant cities. So it was until the mudir’s words came true, and the ycung man's heritage was squandered, and his health was broken and his friends were turning from him. The palace was to be taken for his debts, the gold and ldnds were gone, he had scarcely teod enough for a single meal, only a lit- tle meat. So he took his meat and made it with rice inte a pilaff and joined some of his former companions who were going off for a holiday in the woods, one bringing nuts and another cakes and another wine. When they saw the pilaff in his hand they welcomed him. But scarcely had they reached the place in the woods where they, were to eat when a dog stole away the pili which the young man had laid upon the ground. And when the others saw that the pilaff which the young man had laid upon the ground was gone and that the young man had nothing more to offer for the meal they would not Jet him sit down with them, but laughed at him when he said he was hungry and cried out: “The dog has taken thy share; go eat with the dog” Then the young man went from them with bitterness in his heart and he remem- bered his father's words and saw that of all his pleasures only ashes remained, and saw that his friends, those who had feasted and reveled with him many times while he had his heritage, had turned him away hungry. And on the morrow he knew that the palace would be taken from him and he would have no roof above his head. And there was no place in the world where he couid turn for help, so he said to him- self in his despair: “The words that my father spoke were true. I will go and hang myself in the stable where the asses are; it is better so.” Then he went to the stable and stood upon a heavy water jar and he fixed the noose of the halter around his neck and sprang into the air. But his weight upon the halter caused a little door in the ceiling to open and immediately, in- stead of going to his death, he found him- self safe on the ground, half buried in a shower of gold that came down from above. And at that moment he saw how great had been his father's love for him and wisdom, for here at the moment of his shame and misery that forgiving hand had been stretched forth as from beyond the grave, to give him one more chance. As the young man thought of this he threw him- self on the floor of the stable and lay there in tears for a long time, thinking of his father. And when he rose up he was a different men. Some months after this the young man gave a feast at his palace more splendid than any he had ever given. And he in- vited all his old friends to the feast and gave them a cordial welcome, and they, with praise and flattery, showed him how glad they were to be gathered at his board once more. But when it came time to carry healths and speak over flowing cups they saw that the young man touch- ed no- wine. And when, last of all, it came his turn to speak, he rose to his knees, while the others sat cross-legged, and in a low tone related what had befallen him since his father’s death; how with them he had wasted his fortune and sunk to di- rect want; how, when he needed food not one of them would help him, and, finally, how he had been saved. “Now, my friends,” he concluded, “I have paid every debt I owe in the world save one, but that, although I have a fortune still, will take all my life’s best efforts to pay. It is the debt I owe my father. Hé bade me to beware of gambling and of drinking and of reveling, and to shun those who do those things, and to shun false friends. He told me that the secret of a peaceful mind lies in an earnest life and not in pleasure. For years I gave no heed to these wise words, and you know what that cost me, and [I know. But I shal) heed them now and follow the teachings of my father. Dear friends, I hope to sec you here many times in the future, but this I say, that the only ones of you who will ever sit around this board again aro those who will help me pay my debt.

How W iam Rosrmond Was Scalped and His Wife Saved. F. W. Calkins in Youth's Gémpanton. On the morning of Jul¥ 3, 1873, I was sit- ting in the shade of dur Adobe ranch .build- ing on the bank of the Sbuth Platte, when I noticed a man staggering along the dusty trail to the north of, the, horse corral. “Some drunken pilgrims, from Julesburg,” I thought; for although Julesburg was nearly one hundredwmibes distant, I knew that more than one tramp had there bovght enough “tanglefeot” to keep him drunk until he either reached Denver or lost his scalp on tha way. I regarded the man lazily until he came so near that his head. and features began to take definite shaps. Then I saw, with alarm, that his hatless head was literally the color of blood, and that his shirt-front was marked with dark streaks. I got up and hurried to meet him. To my horror, upen a near approach, I discovered that he had not only been wounded in th2 head, but had been actually scalped! 1 will not attempt to describe his fright- ful condition. Yet he had full control of bis faculties, and began rapidly telling his sad story as I put my arm about him to steady his walk. He had been traveling toward D2nver from the east, driving @ light wagon, which contained only himself, his’ wife and a few household articles and provisions. They had camped on the river, about two miles below our ranch, the night before. About daylight, just as they were getting break- fast, they had been pounced upon by a party of mounted Indians, who rode out from the mouth of a gulch close at hand, and opened fire upon them. “I was frying a pan of bacon,” said tha man—his name was William Rosamond— “when suddenly I heard them yelling. I looked up, and just got a glimpse of them— a dozer: or fifteen, I should say—when they began firing, and I felt what might have been a stroks on my head, and no more. When I woke up I was the way you see me. The wreck of my wagon was there, but my wife and horses were gone. And so I staggered away, and here I am; and whether I ought to thank God I didn’t sec my wife lying there dead is more than I know. I suppose they’ve carried her away a prisoner.” At the sight of the poor man th2re was in me a fury of desire to punish the fiends who had so mutilated him; and when he begged me to go at once to the nearest post for help to rescu2 his wife I said: ‘There's no need. As there were only twelve or fif- teen, we'll try it ourselves.” “Rouse! rouse!” I shouted to my men in the hut. Fortunately, there were in it five of them asleep. They roused instantly, and were as sur- prised, horrified and fierce as myself at the dreadful plight of Rosamond. While I set abeut washing and dressing his wounded hrad they bolted some food and coffee, saddled horses, and declared they would follow tne Indians anywhere, if, only their trail could be struck and kept. ‘The bullet, I found, had struck Rosamond on the temple near the left aye, and had not penetrated the skull, but had passed around under the skin and come out be- hind the ear. The scalping knife had bared the skull on top in a circle about fcur inches in diameter. I soon had the wounds dressed and bandaged; then, at his urgent request, we left the man to care for himself. With a two days’ ration in our saddle- bags, and an extra pony for each of us, w2 galloped away in pursuit of the Indians, and soon found the wreck of the wagon beside the trail, some two miles from the ranch. After a thorough search for some dis- tance on every sid2, we became satisfied that Mrs. Rosamond, had been taken cap- tive. Then we tock the trail of the ponics of the Indians, and of the two shod horses they had captured. As this trail led us_across the sandy val- lsy to the north, we judged the party to be Cheyenties or Sioux, for Arapahoes or Co- manches would, most hkely, have taken the opposite direction. “Bow-Le our ¢xpert tracker, form- erly a “pony express” rider, rod> in ad- vance at a jog trot over hard ground, and at a gallop across the frequent sand tracks, all the time leaning forward, with his face beside his pony’s neck, and his eyes tollow- ing the prints of th2 shoes of the shod horses. And #0, about noon, he led us up to the high land whiely formed the divide between the Platte and Crow creek. The day was clear, hot and fortunately devoid of that haz> or mirage which so often pre- vails in that region. “Now, bose,” sald Bow-Legs, “get out your giass and take a squint down across ‘pout fifteen or twenty miles ahead. The Indians have only been riding at a jog, and they ought to be in sight.” As I was superintendent of a large “round-up,” I always carri>d in my saddle holsters a signal service glass of first-rate power. Now, after a moment's scrutiny, my binocular happened to catch the sav- ages just as they were going over a ridge. I had time to count sixteen hors2>men and a number of led animals before they disap- peared. ‘Only sixteen of "em!" said Bow-Legs. ‘Good enough! We'll make things warm for them.” He had, in fact, ‘‘stood off” thirtzen alone on one occasion. On another he had whip- pea nine Utes single-handed, and had chased the four survivors several miles—so much did his new breech-loader overmatch their bows and arrows and inferior guns. As our Indians were going north, we were confident they would camp on Crow creek, and we jogged easily after them. They evidently had no fear of pursuit, as they were traveling in a squad and going leis- vrely. In fact, such isolated outrages as the one they had just committed usually went unpunished in those days, and they probably thought their crime would not scon be discovered, as they had assaifed the Rosamonds on an old trail that was lit- tle used. At 4 o'clock that afternoon we were cau- tiously trailing within a canyon which led through the breaks or bluffs of Crow Creek valley, After we had ridden for some two hours down the arroyo, which deepened and became quite rough as we advanced, Bow-Legs pronounced the trail very fresh. At last he halted just as he was on the turn of a sharp corner, and motioned for us to gallop up. As we joined him ke gave a wild yell and dashed the spurs into his horse’s flanks. Following clos> in his wake, I had the va ley of Crow creek burst suddenly upon my view, and I saw that the Indians had pick- eted their ponies and pitched a couple of tepees on the banks of the stream, some three hundred yards away. Straight at their camp we charged. When I first saw them they were scatter- ing in a dash for their ponies. We dug spurs into our animals and flew at them like rockets. Each of us carried a re- velver and a Winchester carbine with fif- teen shots in its magazine. The evident consternation of the Indians and their rush for their horses took all no- tion of fear dut of us. We went straight for them, afd began firing before half of them had cut their ponies loose and mount- ed them. Those who first reached their beasts slashed the picket ropes, mounted bareback, and gallcped dawn the creek at their best pac>. Some of the others, how- ever, were too late,vand‘ we were fairly vpon half a dozen of them when they had no more than got to Sich horses: It was not a fight, but.a.rout, for the In- dians thought only of escap2, and nine of them succeeded in getting away. We did not follow them, for our, ponies were worn with travel, and it setmdd better that Mrs. Rosamond should be,taken to her scalped husband as soon as le. She was unharmedy; and had been un- bound in one of the (pees when our firing began. Now she came hurrying toward us. I shall never forget th? poor woman's won- der when we told her that her husband was alive. “Why, 1 saw them——" and she shudder- ed and put her hands up, as if to hide the horrible memory from; her. 2yes. “Yes—they did,” T-osaid. “But he will live, and be just as well @8 ever.” The expression of joy on her face was beautiful to see. Besides recovering Rosamond’s horses, we captured seven ponies, three Springfield carbines, one Winchester and five good saddles. After a few hours of rest we set out for th? ranch, which we reached about 10 o'clock the next morning. We found Ros- amond in a high fever and dangerously ill. But, thanks to his wife’s nursing, he finally recovered, and for two years after- ward the couple cooked for us at the ranch, which always seem2d to me a most prosaic occupation for ple who had come tkrough an adventure so extraordinary as theirs.

Strange Pecu rities of Life in Port- au-Prince. From Leslie's Weekly. When a fire breaks out in the town al- most all the stores close, the troops stand under arms, and few except the firemen and the people near the place of conflagra- tion venture out in the street, the reason being that most revolutionary movements are started in this manner. While fire draws the attention to some remote part of Port-au-Prince, the “conspirators,” as they are always called, attempt to storm the arsenal and the prison, liberating and arming its inmates. Many a dangerous criminal owes his liberty to an incident of this nature. Another peculiar feature of the con- stant excitement is the so-called couru— derived from courir, the French word for 1un—when everybody in the street starts to run. I remember well one that happened in Port-au-Prince, the capital, about five years ago, when the situation was com- paratively quiet. Two young men who quarreled about a woman met near the market place, drew their revolvers and fired at each other. This caused a panic in the market halls; everybody commenced to run, in order to get home. Nobody knew what had happened: nobody knew what was going to happen; those who had not heard the shots, seeing the others take to their heels, also ran for the shelter of their homes. The stores closed; strong detach- ments of troops patrolled the streets, head- ed by the chiet of the police, the command- ers of the port, the town and the “arron- dissement;”’ and finally the president him- self, being in doubt as to the outcome of the affair, Jeft the palace and rode through the streets at the head of about 250 caval- ty, with their carbines on the thigh and their fingers on the trigger, who were fol- lowed by a battalion of infantry. Only one man of the party besides the officers was without a rifle; he carried on his head a soap box full of cartridges. All this had been caused by a few shots exchanged be- tween two men! They were promptly ar- rested, but the majority of people did not Know until the next morning why they “ran.” It fs, indeed, quite natural that they should look for shelter at such a time; for justice (and sometimes injustice), al- Ways summarily dispensed, is particularly high-handed at the time of a covru. A similar march which President Hipo- lyte made through the streets at the head of his troops to quell the May insurrection of 1891 cost‘a good many liver. However, had the revolution been allowed to spread, thousands of Haytians might hare fallen. soe Still Deluded. From the Indianapolis Journal.
