B e A THE, CONMERCIAL TRAVELER. ‘What a Friend of the Drummers Has to Say. A BIG DAY AT INDIANAPOLIS. How Leo Raised the Wind—Another Vic n—The Negro Waiter — Why He Didn't Like the Hotel. A Friend of the Boys. Mr. C. L. Betts, an old time friend of the drummer, has the following article in a recent edition of the Epoch under the caption “Drummers,” It may be stated that not one drum- mer in ten likes his situation. After the novelty of the life wears off an in- tense loathing of the *road” growsupon him. There issomething utterly re- pugnantto the average man in being obligéd, “willy-nilly,” to hurry from place to place as if driven by an antique fury. To amarried man it is especially 80, and therefore most drummers aro young and single. The army of commercial travelers from this city alone has been essimated at 60,000, and, in my opinion, that is be- low the number, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore are proportionally repre- sented, and there is scarcely a town or even a village in the east that has not its contingent. In no other country has the drummer such a field to cover asin this, Many have a whole conti- nent for a foraging ground, and the experienced arummer thinks no more of going to San Fraucisco, or Mexico, St. Paul, than he does of going to v or Brooklyn. The *‘boys,” as they are called, are known individu- ally to men in remote country districts who have never left the shadow of their native burgh. Without them many a hotel would close up. and many a maiden would sigh 1n vain for the “‘latest” New York fushions. They have nearly superseded the picturesque peddler our grandfathe is cverywhere and the drummer follows the store. Drumming, t00, though thers are many indifferent specimens of its class, is a fine art. To suit yourself to the hu- wmor of your customer, to know when to be bold and when to be abashed, to flat- ter delicately, to persuade disintere: edly, to present alluringly, to tickle the ear of sour indifference with a good joke, to use the right word just in the nick of time to gain the wavering mind, is a triumph of diplomacy which can only be apprecinted by the initiated. A story is told of Moore, of the famous Loudon house of Copestake, Moore & Compton. Moore, from his wonderful success as o drummer, was called the Napoleon of the road, and such was the admiration of his brother salesmen for his abilities, that they used to help pack his trunks, so that by catching aun early train he might increase his power of selling. There was one man to whom noone could sell,astff Quaker, who declared he would never buy from a drummer. Moore laid a wager that he would sell him a bill of goods at his first. call. He was better than his word, for he s0ld him the coat off his own bacls, and a large bill of goods as well. Everyone who wants to sell anything at wholesale is obliged to hire a drum- mer or be left behind in the race. The drummer’s position, thén, is always an important one, and if he is a good sales- man he can commaud a high salary. There are some men on the road to-day getting higher salarics than judges on the bench, presidents of mercantile so- cieties, and by far the larger proportion of literary men. So exacting, in fact, are its conditions that to find one thor- ough in all its requirementsis not very There is no doubt, therefore, that in spite of occasional annoyances to trades- men, the drummer is a most useful trade institution. Like death and taxes, he has come to stay, and never fails to pay us his call. His mode of life culti- vates an amazing fortitude of “cheek.’ The drummer simon-pure never *funks.” Good trade, bad trade, or no trade at all, he, like Horatio, takes with equal thanks. He muy go for weeks without a sale, and then atone for it all with a graud coup. Long did the south- ern states put a ban of a tax on him. They had carried protection to its ulti- mate conclusion. But the drummer triumphed. He evaded the tax in every possible way. He fought them in the aw courts and legislatures and now the obnoxious decrees are rescinded. Through his state socleties he obtained from railway companies spocial rates on baggage, and from hotels on bonrd. He may kuew nothing of Plato and little of Herbert Spencor, but for downright “‘cuteness” and worldly resource com- mend we to the drummer, ‘Why He Didu't Like the Hotel. Merchant Traveler: “No, sir,” said the traveler to an Evening Sun re- porter, *I won’t put up at that house again. They don't run it on the proper system. They don’t look after their guests the way they should.” ~ As the house he mentioned was one of New York’s most popular and best known hotels, the traveler was re- quested to give his reasons for his de- termination. *Well, you remember I came down to town about the middle of August?” The reporter confessed that he did so remewber. “I put up at the house then, and they gave me a fine room on the third floor. There wers dandy windows in it, reaching wuy down to the Hoor, and quite as wide as the average double door. I justluxuriated in those win- dows. In fact, T fell asleep in one of them that night, and, I don’t know how 1 came to do it, but I fell out of my chair \hrmn{h the window into the street.” "l-'Pll out of a third story window?” **Yes, sir; the third story window. I waked up jestus I fell over the sign beaving the hotel’s name that ran ai- roctly beneath my window. It was too late to stop myself, though L clutched at the llgn mighty "hard just the same,” m‘l‘lll\lt its 4 wonder you wercn't 11, T guess I would have beea if T hado’t landed on an awning over o shop below. Fortunately the shopkecper had forgotten to lift'it up before going home and I landed on _that and rolled off kinder casy to the sidewalk, It was a mighty nurrow escupe 1 can tell on, and I was pretty mad about it, and ihe next morning when 1 got up again I went down and gave the proprietor au. I told him then and there that I'd r enter his darned house ngain un- uu he took some steps to protect his uests against such fearful risks.” "Wl.ll did he say that?” “Oh he got sassy. There's no use making complaints to these hotel keep- . ers. He said I ought to be glad enough ¥ wasn't killed, without coming to him asking hlm to pm. up slats over his A e AR e e windows.

Carrute: When a man of largely African ancestry once gets a thivst for the quarters and other smaller silver coing in the pockets of other people it never leaves him. No habit is so deadly —t0 the other people more especially. To th ay of his death it will cling to him; he cannot break himself of it, and it is safe eénough to say he won'tt I have been confined for several days in one of the bestsummer hotels in New England. 1 know it is one of the best because the ports won’t move further for a quarter then they an ordinary hotel for ten cents. waiter, a colored man with a geatly un- dulating brow, is very attentive.

The first meal I satdown toa dark colored gentleman slid up to mo and took my order. I gave him ten cents as a starter, and in a measure to win his confidence. He moved off across the dining room quite briskly, but wheu about half way to the Kitchen suddenly stopped, made a few motions with his legs like a soldier on parade when he wants to keeo up appearances and not proceed any further, and then became motionless, gazing straight be- fore him. I watched him for some time, and concluded that he was permauently side-tracked and spoke to the head waiter, whem they called Philadelphia. “Philadelphia,” T said, “Igave my order to that stationary there, probably Louisvil why, has he quitrunning on his regular schedule time?" “*Cincinnati, sah, is the gen’leman’s name. Probily you gave him bout 10 5, sah?"” That was all,” I replied, meckly. “Dat explains de cause ob de delay, sah,” veturned Philadelphia. *‘Can’t move no furder dan dat, sah, for jess 10 cents.” I wentover and gave him a quarter, and he started off promptly, and in the course of an hour or perhaps an hour and a half he got back with scum,thuu_' to eat. any will_in My Drummer's Day. The drummer dabbled very exten- tensively in politics at Indianapolis on the 20th. The weather was wintry, the mercury receding 40 degrees. It is estimated between 2,000 and 3,000 com- mercial travelers, including the home organizations, participated in the day’s demonstration. Large delegations ar rived during the morning from Cinein- nati, Columbus, Dayton, Louisville, Lafayette, Fort Wayne and Richmond Tnd. No large organized clubs were pres- ent from other states, but small parties of a dozen or two were in attendan from New York, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Buflalo, Cleve- land, Louisville, and other cities. At 2 o’clock the visitors assembled at Tom- linson’s hall and organized for a busi ness meeting. They were cordially re- ceived by Mayor Denny. Resolutions were unanimously adopted, de the republican commercial traveld the United States in mass convention do pledge our fealty to the doctrine of protection, and protest against the re- modeling of the present tariff laws by the enemies of protection, who are the frie: (ls of free trade. At 3 o'clock the drummers had a pa- rade marching through the p B! streets and out past General Hurvison's rvesidence. The general reviewed the procession from his residence and was enthusiastically cheered. There were 2,500 marchers with ten bands. Every man carried a cane or umbrella with a small flag attached. At the head of the column marched “Uncle Sam,” in typical garb, Immediately behind came two stalwart Ethiopians leading a mon- ster bull, on whose back sat a drummer in costume presenting the hilarious Irishman. The blanket on the bovine ohn Bull rides the democratic party—we ride John Bull.” Thousands of people gathered along the route to witness the parade. At 4:30 they returned to Tomlinson’s hall, where General Harrison addressed them. The gallaries were filled with spectators, among them several hun- dred ladies. The audience numbered nearly 5,000, and when General Harri- son appeared there was & repetition of the wild scene of two weeks ago, when the Chicago veterans were received. Enterprising Leo Leo F. Salmon, a drummer, living at 842 East Sixty-cighth street, and now employed by R. Levy & Co., hatters, at No. 632 Broadway, was engaged to Miss Mary Louiso Keuse. He lately wrote her a brief note sayiog that he was about to be married. Then came the fair Mary’s time. She brought suit in Justice Fallon’s court last Tuesday, Smith taking charge of her Miss Keuse took the stand first and swore that she had notonly lent money to Salmon but had sent wearing apparel to him at various places 1n the union where his wander- ingsled him. She identificd several letters written to her by the thrifty salesman wpou the note paper of the va- rious hotels which he honored with his pnmungu.
