WOLUME 48........0secceeeeeees NO. 18,286. A SHORT GAMPAIGN BEST. Im @ way 4 Mayoralty campaign begins with the kyor-dlect’s inauguration and lasts till the polls close | the next election day. We have it ever with us—now under a Partridge, now gained under a Greene. | But the purpose of the Citizens’ Union to begin formal etioneering at once in the spring and carry {t contin- y through the summer is something to bid even most ardent politician pause. The opposition to this framme by the Republicans, the Greater New York y and the German-American Reform Unton is be commended. Simple common senze points to the spring opening of campaign as both ill-advised and premature. It Would involve 4 sad waste of oratorical ammunition, a in the presentation of arguments which Would merely serve to defeat themselves by their un- neliness. A month of earnest work in the early fall, mpaign of the short, sharp and decisive order—that enough. It will afford all the opportunity desired for quence and for the full elucidation of all the incon- ible facts and figures advanced by either side, = And it will vastly relieve the feelings of the suffering Hizen whose interests are not wholly bound up in poll- faily's @arieral.—The presence of 5,000 persons at Fire. ® man McNally’s funeral testifies to the popular estimation of the heroism which service in the department calls for. It was a worthy tribute to a hero, and one as well de- f eerved as if the deed by which he lost his iife had been med on the battlefleld. The courage required of the Who “enters a smoke-filled warenouse ts in no @egree inferior in quality to that which leads a charge against « rampart or directs a boat's crew in blowing up @unken collier under the enemy's guns. _AN "OLD-FASHIONED " BANKER. President Olyphant, of the Delaware and Hudson Com- , resigning at eighty-six; President Williams, of the youl National Bank, dying in harness at seventy- peven—theee are veterans who give the lie to theories of @ man outworn and past his usefulness at sixty. _’ President Williams is of more than passing interest, th because he rose from a humble place to the head Fi the financial house the stock of which sells higher par value than any other, so far as is known, in ie entire world, and because he remained to the last an “old-fashioned” banker. .. He never aspired to be in mergers or consolidations, nd thougt his bank hed a surplus; of more than © $7,000,000 its capital stock remained at $800,000. Was he not hopelessly behind the times? There are banks with | tess thar half the Chemical’s surplus that have a capital of $10,000,000. in a day of big things he remained con- “ gervative to an extraordinary degree. pry: “y “A MAN OF MARK." * One of Anthony Hope's most readable-stories, “A Man of Merk,’ will run serially in The Evening World during ‘the coming week. The first instalment will be printed 5 | on Monday and the last on Saturday. ‘In this story of love, adventure and/ intrigue the » author is revealed at his best. It has all his fire and "force of style, together with the characteristic romantic coloring which readers have come to look for !n Mr. _ Hope's novels since “The Prisoner of Zenda” claimed the attention of the English-speaking public of two cont!- nents. In incident and in lively movement it equals his better-known works. It is @ tale no Evening World reader should miss, BARBARIC EXTRAVAGANCE. Tx his Church Association address Bishop Potter said: “There is in our day a teaching which holds that we ghould fight for ourselves and ourselves alone, and the _ @evil take the hindmost. Unless we teach a divine brotherhood we are in danger of lapsing into barbaric jextravagances of speech and manner which have no re- ation to our civilization.” “As @ pertinent application of which there may de dited the resolution of the Chicago employers of labor whbuhave organized an association to fight trades unions. i They have determined that hereafter “all sentiment for workers will be eliminated.” No annual vacatiqns will bogiven; every employee ten minutes late WII, be.docked " |ekhalf hour; every man off duty becauge of sickness will lose all his wages for the time he is not working; the - egstom of sending sick employees to health resorts and \ | paying them full wages will be discontinued. | © Pretty principles’ these! A doctrine of hatred, a dec- aration of enmity, from which no good ¢an possibly come. Tt 4s painful to think that an association of men of means could put themselves on record as favoring a treatment of labor so unjust. Thig ts “barbaric extrava- ganee of speech” quite within the Bishop's meaning. aa t AMONG HIS FRIENDS. night'and a day ina Pullman speeding southwest St. Louls and the President arrived among his the Rough Riders.

Car- michael to a friend, inificating a well-dressed individual who was auntering past the Equitable Building, ‘knows more about the stable products of this country than almost any profes- sor of political economy." éé | ‘Indeed, commented the friend, ‘he doesn't Jook like a student.” “He tan't,"' replied Garmtohael. “He's Joe Uliman, the bookmaker.” eee Magistrate Flammer had disposed of a diMcult case. He sighed and sald: boy what he and his brothers did all the beautiful day. ‘I work; I help father,’ he said. ‘BIN, he works harder'n I do, and Joe, he works bard- er'n both of us put together,’ ‘What does your father do?’ ‘He works hard- est.of all. He has to boss us and lay out things and #el] the crop.’ ‘What does your mother do? ‘Oh, #he don't work. She jest milks the cows in the morning and evening and cooks our meals and makes our clothes and feeds the chick- ens and the pigs and kind o' putters ‘round the house and makes the butter and sews some for old Milss Smith. Well, sometimes, when we's rushed, ahe does come out and help get in the hay or something like that. But she don't work 't all.’ ' eee Abe Levy's inciaive voice was heard tn @ Criminal Court Building corrkor, and it was accompanied by much laughter. The crowd thickened’ around the genial litthe lawyer, and every ear was keen to hear his story. “A friend of mine who had no opportunities for culture in his youth accumulated a considerable fortune and retired from business. 4¢ put in six months travelling in Europe and picked up a little Frenah, @ little German and 4 Ulttle Italian. Then be went to the city of David and, escorted by an Armenian, saw all the famous places, One evening he strolled out without his guide and seeing a quaint piace filled with curlously-dressed peo- ple he went in, thinking that It was a cafe of some sort, He wanted to see the life of the people when they were not on show, and he tried to alip in unobserved; but he was seen immediate- ly and a number of the strangely-dressed people gathered around him. He could make nothing of thelr language, and dried all his French, German and Italian words without effect. They were ap- parently very suspicious and hostile. He became much aigrmed when they began handling him. One burly fellow took his watch, another his hat, another a memorandum book. He knew resistance would be yseleps and eald resignediy: ‘Help yourself; if you see anything you want ask for it.’ A man, dressed as the others, threw the crowd away from him and greeped his hand, shouting: ‘Say, on the level, that's good.

He was a Bowery boy, who knew no language but the English of the Bowery, had been all over the world and was for the present in charge of a party of uatives recruited for show purposes. ‘They ain't no place where they don't talk United States,’ he said. ‘Sing out, just as you do at home, and you'll always find a ¢eller who's wise." roonee DIS 1S WHERE al a DA fiucn mon!

SKATE! NO IST HAVE SELECTED THESE FOR = A ME ALONE AS TO AMERICAN WOMEN. What Many Foreigners Think of Her. BY DELIA AUSTRIAN. NE day while travelling on the Continent we met am elderly Frenchman, who {s considered one of the great savants of France. He chanced to eay he had always found our women unusually amusing. I told him that I knew humor isa characteristic that has alwaye been attributed to our people, but I,{magined to our men more than our women. ¢ “Ah,” he replied, “I see you fai], mafemorsella, to com-, prehend what I mean. Your women devote so muoh time to intellectual pursuits that they are gradually outgrowing | thelr men. Jn time they will have no desire to marry, realis- ing they caynot find their equals. At present your men are so actively engaged in business they do not feel the gap; they do not object so long’as their business is not interfered with, “But some day American men will realize that it ts not prudent to spend all their time making money that their families may enjoy !t. They will learn that they are entitled to leisure and a certain amount of cultivation gained through leisure. “We foreign men, and more especially Frenchmen, do not) consider our office our sanctum sanctorum. We take {t for granted that the comforts of our homes belong to us quite as | much as to our wives. We work because we have to earn a living; our end in life Is pleasure. We begrudge the hours! we give to work and feel that our homes must largely com-/ pensate us for .the hours spent in business. As to our) women, they are naturally ‘bright and intuitive. They are, not frivalous-minded, as the world gives them the credit of .being. On the contrary, they are ambitious and intellectually, , inclined. ' “They, like all women of Celtic blood, crave for admira-) tion and affection, and, however selfish we men may be, they sacrifice their worthy ambitions to win our approval. “To prove my argument, let me cite the story of ey wife. Betore I married her she was considered one of the ablest Journalists in France and had written same remarkable @hors. stories. I married her, not because she was briliiant, Qut In spite of that fact. She was beautiful and one of the most fascinating women I ever met. Though she often had haa flattering offers from publishers she has not written a line for publicatién since the day we were married. Shé realizes that I am the only one she has to please now, and she euc- ceeds by making our home attractive and devoting mucty time to our children.” Similar talks with many Frenchwomen revealed the ame truth, says Della Austrian in the Chicago Tribune. While in Europe I met a gentleman from Southern France, who had Uved many years in America. He said that he thought our women unusually odd. They were the most egotistical and self-satisfled creatures he had ever seen, ‘Their worst fault 1s they pride themselves on thelr inde- pendence and individuality. How glad we women ought to be that our men are ousy making money. If for no other reason than that they toler- ate more than charm of manner and appearance. Still they; need not conalder this a weakness, for their ideals reveal thelr characters, Though the French savant said that a woman's weakness is her strength, in nowise does woman's strength signify man’s weakness. THE GOOD HIS LESSON DID. Tommy Hegan's English was bad. He would say “I have went’ and “T have wrote.’ His teacher told him to stay after the other puplls wera dismissed and in ner most beau- tiful hand wrote upon the board “I have-gone” and “T have written.” Sihe told Tommy to copy the phrases one hundred times. Before he completed the task she left the room, and, returning, found him gqne. On her desk was a note: “Dear ‘Teacher: I have wrote ‘I have written’ and ‘I have gone’ one hundred times and I have went home.

Morbleu! I felt half d:owned— but there was Iittle tme to think over these things, for scarcely had the column formed, when the cry of ‘Cavalry!’ was given, and down camé the lancers with a swoop; but we were all ready. The flank companies fell back and formed in square and a tremendous volley sent them off faster than they came. ‘Now, then, push forward double quick,’ sald the old Col- onel—'the pas de charge.’ “Alas! tbe poor little drammer was lying dead at his feet.
