OLD HUTCH RESOLD THE COAT A Characteristic Anecdote of the Parsimonious Millionaire. TALMAGE TEARS HIS BOOKS. Xs the Brooklyn Divine a Vandal— Crane Couldn't Imitate Himsel(— Mark was Moving—"“Our Mary's"” Debut, Current Anccdotes. - Rather a good story is told of “*Old Autch.” the Chicago millionaire. He isaman of the extraordinary parsimo- n1ous habits, despite his vast fortune, and it is his boast that he never loses an opportunity for making a penny. Not long ago his son developed a large and impressive scheme. He went to a prominent Chicago tailor with one of his father’s old overcoats on his arm. The newest coat at that time in posses- sion of the millionaire had been in s vice about twelve vears, and was shabby beyond redemption. writes Blakely Hall in Frank Leshe’s Illustrated News- . paper. e son had a beautiful new beaver coat built for his father. It was lined with silk and handsomely fin- ished. The tailor charged him $70 for it. he coat was thrown in a heap on a chair near one of the windows. and the followiny day, as the son was walk- ing down town with the wary old oper- he asked him to step into the tail- or’s a minute, white he tried on a new coat. While the son was trying on the coat, amidst a terrible and strained si- lence on the part of the employes, Old Hutch wandered around the shop, and finaily pulled the newly-made overcoat from the chair, straightened it out, and looked it over. Then he slowly put it on, and found that it fitted him per- fectl He walked up to the tailor and said: What is the price of this cont?” “Well,” said the tailor, who had agreed on seventy dollars as the price of the coat with the son, and who had already received thirty-five dollars from the young man as part payment for the coat, ‘I don’t think I ecary to sell you vhat coat, Mr. Hutchinson. Why not?” ‘It was made for another man, and left over on my hands. I should think you would prefer to have one made to order.” The old man scented a bargain, and after huggling around for half an hour, secured the coat for twenty-five dollars, paid the cash, gave his son the old ove coat to carry, and proceeded down to the board of trade. Two minutes after he had entered the building, a broker approached him and said pleasantly “That's rather o neat looking "coat you have on, Mr. Hutchinson.” “Well, yes,” replied the old man, with n look of gratified pride, *‘it is rather comfortable, What would you say it was worth?” Well,” said the broker thoughtfully, ishould say that the garment cost anout sixty-five or seventy dollars 1 puid twenty-five for 1t.” Giive you thirty,” said the broker promptly. “I'l take dt,” said *Old Hutch,” peeling off the coat once. “Here my son, giv-u me mwy old coat,” T met Congressman James 1. Blount of Georgia in the Fifth Avenue hotel the other nightand he laughed heartily over the report that Mr. Bullock was likely to join the democratic party sa; u New York Star reporter. *Yes,” sald he, “Bullock is a good fellow und a gentleman. He was gov- erngr of Georgia in the eruel daysof reconstruetion. We might have had a better executi and we might have had a worse one. Let ma tell you a story about him, Under the laws then in existence, he had the right to ap- point all the local magistrates, and of course some of thom dn the back coun- ties were pretty hard cases, ignorant and partisan_to the last degree. One day a friend of mine, a most distin- guished lawyer, went before one of the governor’s magistrates for the purpose ruing a case, and knowing the e lawyer carried along with him le of law books and a mass of legal authorities to persuade the magistrate that his conclusions were right. When the jurist had conecluded his argument, the magistrate looked at him gravely nid: )k yere, Mr. Lawyer, you caa 1l of dem books if you want to, n'mo tell you dat my wife and I sottled de decision on dis question dis mornin’ afore breakfast.’ M*Need 1 udd,” said, the eloguent con- ghessian from Georgia, “that the decis- ion of the magistrate and his wife made *'fore breakfast’ stood as the judgment of the courty” al years ugo. before he became n member of congress, Represcatative Crisp of Georgin ws a judg vrites a New York Tribune vesponden While traveling one day on his cireuit the tr which fasteved his buggy broke, aud the judge spent half-an hour of his valuable time in a n endeavor to repuir the damage.

The Cri s authority for the state- ment that Mr. Taimage, if he needs a quotation 1n the midst of writing a ser- mon, seizes the volume that containg 1t and tears out the desired page with ruthless hand. Then, taking his shears he cuts out the particular pages he needs, and, pasting it on his manuscript age, tosses the book aside. There is scarcely a book in his library thatis not so mutilated. “But what do you do when you wish to refer to such a pussage again?’’ a re- porter asked him. “Inever want to refer to it again.” he answered sententiously. **When I have used it once, Tamdone with itfor good.” No real lover of books would do this, and the devotee of the hbrary would hesitate to number in his list of friends one who could so wantonly abuse the volumes that should be a man’s most trustworthy companions. One becomes suspicious of the whole philosophy of such a vandal, . Some years ago the lato Robert Craig the mosi extraordinary mimetic genius known to the stage, played an engage- ment at the Boston museum. Many old theater-goers will remember his life- like imitations of Dickens, Jefferson and others, the most extraordinary of all perhaps being his impersonation of Stuart Robsen as **Jim Baggs.” One ing Robson who had just arrived from his country home at Cohasset, dropped into Craig’s dressing room for achat. ‘fhe night was w and Mr. Craig. who had many changes of dress to make, seemed much fatigued. His imitation farce **A Dress Rehearsal,” was in progress, and Jefferson and Dickens had just been given to the boisterous nvpiause of a crowded house. ‘What comes next, old fellow?” said, Robson. **My imitation of you?" replied Craig, as he proceeded to array himself for the character of **Jim Baggs,” and I wish it was over for I am really tired out.” No sooner was this said " than a merry ! idea struck Robson. He stepped quick- to the door, bolted it, and approach- ing Craig, said: *'I can relieve you my friend,” and in a few minutes was dressed in_ the vagabond costume of The Wandering Minstrel.” - Scarcely was this completed when the call boy rapped at the door. “You are callod for the stage, Mr. Craig.” and before the actor could recover from his sur- Mr. Robson tripped brisky from the room, and in & moment was face to face with the vast audience. Robson imitating Robson was certuinly a nov- elty. Fe was received with great favor and left the stage followed by the most rapturous applause, not one among the audience discovering the tri that had been so covertly played. In speaking of this incident Rob 'ig, Who u to tell the sto much humo laughingly od. “The highest com- pliment I ever had wus paid me on that oceasion, for seated in the dress eir was an old gentleman who told M ield, the manager, at the end of the performance that my imitation of Dickens was fair, Jeflerson so so, but Robson not a bit like him. ‘I have seor that comedian time and again, und 1 tell you Craig’s imitation is vile,utterly vile, sir Robert Mantell who is doing the “Cor 1 Brothers,” tells this story: I have to huve a double who repre- sonts my twin brother and is made up 1o represent me_ as closely as possible, Before my preduction of the play the play the double was never allowed to suy anything as it wassupposed that the diir » in voices would betray the illusion.

With this in view, I assigned to my double tho line, Look, Mother!” at the point where my ghost is supposed to appear to hor and young man who played the part of my twin brother did this very well; but with an exaggerated idea of the magnitude of his importanc.

He delivered a speech last year, by request of his fellow-townsmen, in the opera house at Corsicana, Tex., his home, says a Washington letter His theme, of course, was the tariff, and Mr. Mills described in his usually vigorous man- nor, and with a plentful use of adjec- tives, the vicious character of the tariff. Next day the congressman was in his front yard, which abounds in plants, flowers and shrubbe: He was standing near the front fence, but con- cealed from view by the foliuge. Two stalwart colored men walked slowly by, and one of them remarked: “Dis hyars whar our congressman, Mr. Mills lives.” *Dat so?” ried the other. place, ain’t it?” “Yaus,” was the reply, followed with { tho query: “Was you down dar at do op’ra house las’ night and heerd him but what's dat tar’f he bin 1kin® ‘bout, anyway’?” *I dunno,” replied the other; ‘‘but T tell yer tlis: From what he say 'bout it if T meot dav tar’f I bin giv’ it de road, sho's you born.” At the deathbed of William B.

Savr Lake Ciry, March 22.—|Special to Tur Ber.]—For a week past we have had Italian skies, and the air has been so mild as toentico every one, 80 it seemed, outon tho street which, accordingly, presented a very animated appearance. The stir and move- ment on the principal business streets is a surprise to visitors from the east. Mr. Woodard from Omaba expressed th about the following words: “I used to think Omaha the best place i the world, and, in deed, Ihave met with a good deal of suc- cess as contractor and builder iu Omaha. But I expect to carry on a rushing business in Sult Lake City for the next ten years, nd at the end of that period I shall retire [ from circulation. 'This town is golog to ad- vance right along, and I nave no doubt in a short timo its population will have trebled.” It would be easy to produce many more tes timonials of this sort, in proof of the real and persistent boom of this city. For in stance the remarks of Mr. Mike | O. Maul, an undertaker of Omaha who ~has' come here for his -health: Why, 1 never was 8o surprised in my life, I have always supposed that Salt Lake was a mere village, but here you have a thrwving city full of life and business. 1 declare if people were not dying so fast in Omaba should corce out here and drop a few dollars in the real estato myseif.

FROM WINDVILLE TO OMAHA, Mr. “Brogan' Made ths Journey in Midwintor With Preclous Little Money in His Clothes—Ar- restad for a Vog. A Relic of Better Days. There are hotels in Omaha which are not graced with rotundas lined with luxuriously upholstered seats. and in which no bediamonded clerk calls “Front.” In such a hotel the lounger met a rather ‘‘ro " member of so- ciety who one day had been a respect- able and well educated man, but dissi- pation had leftits impress on his face and his shaking hand. The name he assumed was Brogan. He had nothing to say about his antecedents, but stated that he had recently come from Chi- cago to Omaha without a cent. Being asked how such a feat could be accomp- lished in winter he said: “When I struck Chicago [ had suf- ficient cash to live throuch the winter; ! but liquor and an encounter with tthugs” limited my stay to a week; I was held up. This is how; I believe I must have been drugged, for I was aroused to consciousness in an alley way by feeling a strong « ling my neck, which poked me into a ho zontal position. Dazed and incapable of making any defense I wasatthe merey of the “thugs.” who qui lieved me of my cash and uables, with 4he exception of a ‘V’ which es- caped their clutches.” I felt bad at my misfortune, of course, yet as 1 had escaved a slugging and had a ‘V’ left, consoled myself with more drinks, and prolonged the sprce for another day. The following morn- 1 awoke to the realization of my misevable plight, o big head and not a solitacy nickel to buy a cuve or a cup of coffee. Disgusted h myself and sur- roundings I shook the dust of the Windy City from off my feet and drilled westward without any,as yet, deter- mined purpose, but with a feeling of re- lief that | was getting away from the scene of my misfortune. After a brisk walk of a dozen miles or so, I gradually began to shape my line of action. I determined togo to Omaha. I hadn’t a centleft, yet as I recoveasd from the despondency brought on by the vile rot gut my spirits and hopes arose in pr portion. When hungry I sought petty Jjobs to earn a meal. Some placing in the category of tramps required me to saw wood or do some other little job before supplying my wants. In other cases [ struck men who had been on the road at somo time themselves, and knew it was easily possible for a weak mortal to get out of cash. ['com these I would get a meal without being required to work for it. 1 didn’t wear out my shoes much by tramping or *drilling’ as it is tormed. I was fortunate in jumping < cars and on the fourth day found olf in the Bluffs. Here I got my as night when I ar- ouly recourse was to seek shelter at the police station. In the morning I had to appear before the jus- ticoe on a charge of vagrancy. The judge ioned me pretty closely, [ was a ‘vag’ much as [ waspenniless, yet as | answered all of his questions satisfactorily he gave me liberty on con- dition that [ would get out of town in two hours. **Can you get to Omaha in two hours?” he asked. L expect I can,” T answered, though Tdidn’t know where the br.dge money was to come from. On leaving the station I was con- fronted oy a full-grown blizzard. Dnzed and almost paralyzed by the blinding ow and cold, T staggered nlong. Stumbling over a pile of on tho sidewalk the thought stru me that here was a chauce of earning enough to got over the bridge and perhavs for a meal and a bed, or *doss’ as the ‘hoboes’ term it. +On making enquiries I found iv by tonged to a printer on the second floor. Do you wish to have your ccal put “*How much do you charg “Ldon’t know what it is worth, as I don’t follow the business; but I shall be satisfied with the usual price.” STl give you 85 cents.” “All right,” and I tackled the job and quickly finished it, pricked on by the biting blast which pinched my un- r ted hands and ears. I then com- pleted my joarney to Omahu. Noxt moruing I was ngain penniless but I thought [ might be able to hunt up another coal job to supply my imme- diate wants.
