A NOTE ON MIGUEL DE CERVANTES
Man of La Mancha is suggested by the life and works of Miguel de
Ceivantes y Saavedra. Ceivantes was born in 1547 to an impoverished
family and lived a life which is only sparsely documented. He was a
soldier who suffered serious wounds, was taken captive, and spent five
years as a slave in Africa.
Above all else, Cervantes loved the theatre. In 20 years he wrote some
40 plays, none of which were successful. In 1597 he was excommunicated for "offenses against His Majesty's Most Catholic Church," narrowly
escaping more drastic punishment. He served at least three, and
possibly five, prison terms for various charges.
Aging, infirm, and an utter failure, he undertook the writing of Don
Quixote to make money. Volume I (1605) brought him fame but little
profit. Volume II (1615) insured his immortality as author of the world's
greatest novel, but he was already broken in body if not in ~p~t.
Ceivantes died in 1616, within 10 days of his contemporary, William
Shakespeare. Cervantes' burial place is unknown.

~ GALAXY OF SHINING STARS Campaign
-1'-
In October 1993, SLOC launched a major fundraising campaign to
raise money to replace its old/outdated lighting system. We are pleased
to report that over $15,000 was contributed through the generosity and
support of our audience and membership, and the campaign is over.
The new lighting system was ordered in early Februruy 1994, and the
lighting crew hopes to have it installed and operational for Man of
LaMancha and future performances! The system has a computerized
board with a two-scene preset. As a more reliable, modular system with
30 dimmers, it is capable of interfacing with the lighting system at
Proctor's Theatre; it is also lighter in weight.
SLOC sincerely thanks all those who made this "dream" a reality!
• MUSICAL THEATRE AWARDS •
Schenectady Light Opera Company offers a High School Musical Theatre
Awards competition/program in the spring of each year. For more

An account of the resource
<h5>Introduction</h5>
<p>Naoum Antoun Mokarzel (1864-1932) and Salloum Antoun Mokarzel (1881-1952) were influential intellectuals who immigrated to the United States from Lebanon in the late nineteenth century. Both were prominent Lebanese-American intellectuals who used their family-owned publishing house, the Al-Hoda Press, to preserve their heritage for diaspora communities across the world and to educate English-speaking audiences about the rich history and culture of Lebanon.</p>
<p>The Mokarzel brothers were the sons of Antoun Mokarzel, a Maronite Priest, and Barbara Akl Mokarzel. They were born and raised in Frieke, Lebanon. Naoum Mokarzel emigrated to the United States in 1890, at the age of 26. Naoum explored various career options as a young man, including: shopkeeper, bookkeeper, journalist, and medical student. While working as a bookkeeper in Philadelphia he founded <em>Al Asr</em>, a fledgling newspaper which quickly failed. Shortly after, in 1898, Naoum founded <em>Al-Hoda</em><span> [Guidance] as a biweekly publication; the first issue was published on February 22 of that year. In 1902, Naoum moved the paper from Philadelphia to New York and began publishing it as a daily. Newspapers proliferated among the populous Lebanese immigrant community in New York City, but among them <em>Al-Hoda </em>stood out in its wide circulation and international sphere of influence. Though Naoum frequently insisted upon his own journalistic integrity and objectivity, <em>Al-Hoda </em>was guided from the start by a fierce devotion to the cause of Lebanon; it also initially leaned towards Maronite interests, against Orthodox views. In his editorials and articles, Naoum was quick to rise to the defense of both his homeland and himself, a tendency that often stirred controversy even as it furthered Naoum's political goals.<em><br /></em></span></p>
<p>Around the time that Naoum founded <em>Al-Hoda</em>, his much younger brother Salloum joined him in the United States. Though Salloum travelled back to Lebanon to obtain his higher education at St. Joseph’s University, he was quickly folded into the new family trade of publishing. Salloum quickly established himself as an innovator in his own right: in 1909, he catalogued and published <em><a href="http://lebanesestudies.omeka.chass.ncsu.edu/collections/show/41">The Syrian Business Directory</a></em>, an inventory of Syrian businesses in the United States. In the next year, he patented the first Arabic linotype machine, an invention which helped modernize Arabic publishing; this innovation contributed to the explosion of the Arabic press in both North and South America. In the 1910s and 1920s, Salloum published scholarly works through the imprint called <a href="https://lebanesestudies.omeka.chass.ncsu.edu/collections/show/53" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Syrian-American Press</a>; he also carried forth his interest in Lebanese business endeavors through the monthly journal <span><em>Al Majallah Al-Tijariyeh</em> [<em>Syrian-American Commercial Magazine</em>], which he edited from 1918 to 1926.</span></p>
<p><span>Despite their shared vocation, the two brothers had very different personalities and political goals. Naoum had a fiery commitment to Lebanese independence: in 1911, he founded the Lebanese League of Progress in an attempt to unite the Lebanese diaspora behind the cause of Lebanese independence. Naoum was among the delegation from Lebanon sent to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Though Naoum was an outspoken and passionate figure whose devout Maronitism, Lebanese nationalism, and willingness to critique the diasporic community often created controversy. By contrast, Salloum was known as a gentler figure, more interested in building new communities and hybrid cultural identities than in influencing political change in the homeland. Despite his very different aims, Salloum, too, was a formidable influence both to his peers and to younger generations of Lebanese-Americans.</span></p>
<p><span>The difference between the brothers’ personalities and political goals is represented by the differences in their publications. Throughout World War I and the following years of geopolitical chaos and decolonization, Naoum was deeply involved in nationalist movements. His decision to publish </span><span>Al-Hoda </span><span>in Arabic indicates his continuing commitment to a diasporic community which faced towards and participated in the culture and political realm of the homeland. By contrast, Salloum was interested in translating and modifying his birth culture to thrive in various new homelands. To facilitate this goal, in 1926, Salloum launched </span><em>The Syrian World</em><span>, which he initially conceived as an academic journal aimed towards a hybrid audience of second-generation children of immigrants and Americans of non-Lebanese descent. Between 1926 and 1932, </span><em>The Syrian World </em><span>was published as a monthly journal. During this time, it served as an outlet for scholarship on Syrian and Lebanese history, as well as topics pertinent to the immigrant community such as health, current events, and preserving Lebanese heritage for younger generations. In served as a platform for Salloum to initiate his plans for community formation through his editorials; for example, Salloum put out a call for the formation of regional federations like the Southern Federation of Syrian and Lebanese American Clubs in a editorial in the late 1920s. In 1932, the combined factors of the Great Depression and the death of Naoum Mokarzel led Salloum to scale back his involvement in the paper; its format was changed from the style of an academic journal to a more traditional newspaper. This incarnation of the paper--which lasted from 1932 to 1935--consisted of daily news on both transnational and local levels. </span></p>
<p><span>Naoum Mokarzel had three marriages: Sophie Shishim, between 1898 and 1902; Saada Rihani between 1904 and 1908; and Rose Abillama, from 1910 until Naoum’s 1932 death. Naoum had no children, and Salloum and his family were Naoum’s heirs. In 1908, Salloum married Helen Abu Khalil. Together, the couple had five daughters: Mary, Rose, Alice, Yemna, and Lila. By 1919, Salloum and Helen moved their family to Cranford, New Jersey; however, the children were raised to be highly educated world citizens, encouraged towards literacy in both English and Arabic. In 1925, Helen took her five daughters to Lebanon, where the girls travelled and attended school until returning to America in 1927. </span></p>
<p><span>Naoum died in 1932 on a visit to Paris, where he was serving as a representative of diasporic communities for Lebanon’s transition from French colony to independent nation. This led Salloum to take up the role of editing <em>Al-Hoda</em>. During this time, Salloum became increasingly well-known, contributing to the Lebanese pavilion at the 1939 New York World’s Fair and serving as a dignitary at the 1946 opening of the United Nations. Salloum died in 1952. The bodies of both brothers were repatriated by the government of Lebanon, and are buried together in the family tomb in their native city of Freike, Lebanon.</span></p>
<p><span>The Mokarzel brothers’ legacies were carried on by Salloum’s five daughters. After a struggle over the ownership of the paper, Salloum’s eldest daughter, Mary Mokarzel, carried on the publication of <em>Al-Hoda</em>. In 1954--perhaps in remembrance of her father’s English-language journal </span><em>The Syrian World</em><span>--Mary acquired </span><em>The Lebanese American Journal</em><span>, which she published in tandem with the Arabic paper until September 1971. Yemna was also committed to the family business, supporting her sister’s social, political, and business endeavors and serving as a correspondent for the papers.</span></p>
<p><span>Neither Yemna nor Mary married. Rose Mokarzel married Joseph Tanous; the two had three children: Peter J. Tanous, an investment banker, author, and community leader; Dr. Helene Tanous, who specialized in radiology; and Evelyne Nala Tanous, J.D., who served as Chief Counsel of the United States Small Business Administration district office in Houston. Peter has three children with his wife Ann-Christopher Tanous, Helen Tanous Bartilucci, and Will Tanous--and five grandchildren. Evelyn Najla Tanous has one daughter, Chantal Tanous D’Larenti, and two grandchildren.</span></p>
<p><span>Alice Mokarzel married Edmond Jaoudi and had two children: Dr. Maria Jaoudi, a professor of Comparative Religion who has one child, Harrison Smith-Jaoudi, with her husband, Harry Smith; and Edmond Jaoudi Jr., a technology administrator who has three children with his wife Barbara: Michael, Steven, and Anna.</span></p>
<p><span>Lila Mokarzel married George Hatab. The two had five children: Dr. Lawrence Hatab, a professor of Philosophy and author; Helen Hatab Samhan, a non profit executive; Anne Hatab Dill, an educator; Paul Hatab, a senior statistician at Micron; John Hatab, an art and drama teacher. Lawrence and his wife Chelsey Carter have one daughter, Stephanie Carter, and two grandchildren. Helen Hatab Samhan married Dr. Muhammad Kamal Samhan; they have two children, Leila Samhan Soliman and Zaid Samhan, and one grandchild. Anne Hatab married Francis Dill; the two had five children--James, Clare Dill Cruz, John, Peter, and Teresa—and four grandchildren. Paul and his wife Christine have two children, Jemma Hatab Langland and Will Hatab, and have two grandchildren. John is married to Mary Ann Hatab and they have two children, Ryan and Jeffrey Blaine.</span></p>

Multiculturalism lives!
BY KATHLEEN DoOLEY
St aff writer
People of all races, religions and ethnic
backgrounds will gather at Albany's Empire
State Plaza on Saturday. Their goal, put
simply, is to help people get along better.
The Hudson Valley Girl Scout Council is
undertaking a massive effort to teach people
about different cultures in order t.o promote a
better understanding. Louise McColgin,
executive director of the council, explains The
People Festival: A Celebration of Diversity will
present dance, music, food, drama and
workshops for children.
"We're giving people aJ1 opportunity to share
their cultures with one another to encourage a
better understanding of the world," said
McColgin. This is not just a Girl Scout event,
she stresses, but an all-day festival for
families.
"It is a step toward gaining an
understanding of the richness of the different
cultures we have right here," she said.
Meredith Wyche of Castleton, a member of
Cadette Girl Scout Troop 244 of Ravena, will
be showing kids how to make Dream Catchers
at the festival. "Sioux legend says when you
hang them up in your bedroom, they catch the
bad dreams and you'll only have good dreams
while you sleep," she relates. She and the other
Cadette Scouts are using beads, feathers and
grapevines for the craft.

THE PEOPLE· FESTIVAL: A CELE-
BRA110N OF DIVERSITY. S~nsored by
the Hudson Valley Girl Scout Council. 10
a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Empire State Plaza,
Albany. 439-4936. Free.
15 of Hudson are working on a Chinese dragon
costume which they will be wearing and
parading through the halls during the festival.
"It probably cost under $15 all together," said
Arlene Levinson, a Hudson att.orney and troop
leader. The dragon is made from colorful paper
tablecloths and is being decorated by the girls
with porn-porns and streamers.
Levinson looks upon the festival as similar
to a scouting neighborhood group's
.
International Day except on a much larger
scale. "There will be more to see. We've never
had anything
it before," she said.
In addition to the Girl Scouts, more than 30
different organizations and individuals will
present aspects of their cultures. Highlights
include a fashion show ofAfrican-American
clothes by Roots Revisited; the New Life
Recovery Choir of Israel AME Church; the
Iroquois fudian Museum, Keepers of the
Circle; the Irish American Heritage Museum~
and the Caribbean American Club. Food
booths will feature selections from various
countries.

l■ I
iddle Eastern dance arises from
·
the culture of the Arab world,
where it is traditionally performed at weddings
and parties, as well as in the best nightchibs
and theaters. Unlike western dance forms
like jazz or ballet, which concentrate on leaps
and extensions, Arabian dance technique
depends on fine muscle control of the torso,
arms and hips, and on interpretation of the
intricate music. The dance is an expression
of feeling: joy, love, sorrow, friendliness,
passion, contemplation, and all the complex
emotions of life.
An example of Raqs Baladi (Dance of the
People), a village-style folk dance focusing o~movemenls of the hips, using syncopated
rhythms typical of Egyptian music.
DANSE ORIENI'ALE
Hahiha
A Raqs Sharki (Dance of the East), the
classical woman's solo in which visual and
emotional interpretation of the music is
created.

parties, bringing and earthy flavor to the
dance.

llJE are i n f01·med that it is the i n tention of sev
l' l eral more or less i n fluen tial Democratic pol i
ticians to agi tate among t h e Democ1·at.ic masses i n
favor o f a " vigorous foreign pol icy, " t o b e direct
ed especially agai nst G1·eat B,,ita i n , with a view to
making that subject a prom i n en t feature of the
next Presiden tial campaign on the Democratic side.
An aggressi ve en fo1·cem ent of the MONROE doct1·ine
according to th e most exti·eme construction the1·e
of, as wel l as the building of a big navy and the an
nexation of the Hawai ian Isl a nds an d of whatever
else may be obtai nable in the way of " ou tposts "
and " keys, " is to form part of the p1·ograrnme.
We are far from applyi ng to the pol iticians en
gaged iu this scheme Dr. JOHNSON'S famous defi n i
tion that " patriotism is tile last refuge of scoun
d rels '' ; for a. J.arge p1·opo1·tion of them are, no
doubt, person s of honorable character. There are
also among them some with wl10m it is a matter
of sincere belief that Great Britai n w i l l surely get
control of the whol e of South America, as well as of
every desi i-able place el sewhere, u n l ess we prompt
ly ,meet her at every poi nt w ith charged bayo
nets, an d that Out' com mercial prosperity, i f 11ot
our very existence as an i n depen dent n ation , re
quires that we sl ,ould be able to m eet the stl'On gest
war fleet i n the wo1·ld, and that we shoul d !,ave a n
ou tpost wherever any other naval powe1· has one.
Senato1· MORGAN, of Al abama, whose brain is a
storehouse of as m uch 11onsense as was e ver
crowded i n to a narrow space, and who ] , as ma.p
aged to get on the wi·ong side of more public ques
tions than a n y other American prom inent in pub
l ic l ife, is a fai l' example of the honest bel iever.
But i n a multitude of cases it will be found that
there is at the bottom of the noisy voci feration of
the jingo neithe1· gen u i n e cou rage nor a sin cere
conviction as to tl , e necessity or the usefu l n ess of
the pol icies he ad vocates, but some obl iquity to be
concealed, or a lack of conviction as to those pu�
l i c questions w hich are u rgen tl y engaging the pu�
l i c mind an d demand practical solution, especial ly
questions upon wh ich there is so m uch d i ffe1·enc�
of popular opi nion that ambitious pol iticians look
i n g fol' votes al'e rathe1' i n clined to go chal'ily out
of their way, or to str11 ddle them for convenient
d ismou n t on eithe1· side. When such q uestions
al'e pressing to the foreground the pol itician with-·
out con victions 01· w i thout courage eagerl y turns
to some topic on wh ich he th inks he can indulgfl
i n he1·oic language and appear valorousl y, majesti
cally patriotic, an d be al ways sure to elicit the hu1·
rahs of the galleries wi thout any risk of losing
votes. It readi l y suggests itself to J , i m that in
endless variations of speech h e may " twist the
British lion's tai l " w ith impun i ty, that he may
h oist " ol d glory " all over the two Ame1·ican con
tinen ts and on all the desirable islands of the At
lantic and Pacific, an d condemn to everlasting i n
famy the wretch w h o " hauls down the stars and
stripes," an d so on. And wh i l e he thus makes the
American people u n derstand how h is " bl ood b�i l s "
at every exhibition o f the ' ' fo1·eign i nsolence " tli at
woul d bal k his countl'_y's progress i n th e l i n e of
its " man i fest desti n y, " he trusts tlJat the sim ple
minded public will not inquire whether beh i n d this
l eonine roar there is not a desire to hide some re
pulsive blem ish, or a quak iug fear of the sih -er
issue, or some other uncomfortable question de
manding from public 1ueu a n d from political par
ties an unequivocal answe1·.
Both parties have an abundance of men of this
moral calibre. On the Republ ican side tlie1·e is
tl1e add i tional motive of making party capital by
vii i fyi ng the conservative foreign policy of the
Democ1·atic ad ministration . In the Democ1'atic
camp the j i n go movement can n ot even pl ead such
an exc11se.· vVe have recently had an exhibition
of that m ovement which certai n l y did n ot lack i n
sign i ficance. I t took place o n the Fourth o f July
in Tammanv Hal l.
The assembled Tamma1 1 v
crowd was i n a blaze o f pat1·iotic emotion . I ts
" blood boiled " w i th rage at. British impudence,
and the thought of planti n g " old glo1·y " on evel'y
desirable spot on the globe rnade every 'l.' ammany
heart bubble over with enthu siasm . If the A meri
can people, especially the people of New Yo1·k,
woul d give the i r u nd i vided atte 1 1 tion to Bl'itish ag
gression i n South Ame1·ica and to the acqu isition of
the Hawaiian Islands, and mean while perm i t Tam
man y Hall to govern New York city, the Tammany
heart woul d doubtless be mo1·e patriotic than ever.
The enthusiastic outburst of the Fou 1·th of July oc
casion was called forth by ex-Gove1·11or CAMPBELL,
of Ohio, a statesman whose opinions on the practi
cal question� of tf1e day have been somewhat d i m
an d u n stable. At the d i nner with w h ich, aftel' the
last Presiden tial election , the Reform Cl ub of New
Yrn·k celebrated the victo1·y of reform, Mr. CAMP
BELL was the gen tl eman who ch i lled the audience
by gi ving it to understand that while 1;eform might
be a good th i ng, the post-offices would be a better
th i n g for the " boys. " The de velopment of h is
views on the monetary question has been some
what checkel'ed. Thel'e was a rumpr recently that
he was lean i n g towa1·d sou n d money, but bets on
that sco1·e are about even. At any rate, we risk
110thing i n saying that Mr. CAMPBELL wishes the
wol'l d would not ask him any questions about sil

THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.
THE complete overth row of the Liberals i n tl , e
recent British elections is not a su1'prise. It had
been anticipated by nearly every on!e wJw is famil
iar with the recent h istory of Bl'itish politics. It
is a surprise, however, that the overthrow i s o ver
w hel ming. It was supposed that the Tories would
l 1 ave the largest n umber of membel's of the House
of Com mons, but it was not generally believed that•
they would be independent of all assistance. A s it
is, however, the Tories, even without the votes of'
M r. CHAMBERLAIN'S Liberal Unionists, have a large
majority, and p 1·obabl y fo1· several years to come
w i l l be able to embody their policy in the laws of
Great Britain, i f, i ndeed, they can succeed in for
m ulating any policy. Aft.er the defeat of M r.
GLADSTONE'S home-rule b i l l in 1886, the electors re
turned 316 Conservati\•es an d 78 Liberal Un ion ists,
again st 191 Liberals and 85 Home-Rulers. No w
the list stands : 341 To1·ies, 70 Li beral Un ion ists,
174 Liberals, 70 McCarthyites, and 13 Parnel l ites.
It is not easy to determi n e the relati ve value of
the various causes that brought about this defeat of
British Liberalism. The main issue i nsisted upon
74-±
by the Tories an d thei r Libem1 Unionist al lies wai!l
that of home-l'Ule. The SALISBURY ue wspapers and
orators divided the conten ding electors a nd candi
dates i n to two parties, call ing the members of one
party Unionists, and the members of tl 1e othe1· Sepa
ratists. W h i le the Irish constituencies show that
they are as stroug as ever i n favor of a change of
govern ment that .shall g i ve them the m:ma.gernent
of their own affairs, it is evident that thei i- cause
l1 as lost in the re t of the kingdom. Tliis is pa1·t
ly cl ue to the dissensions amoug th e Irish and part
ly ·to the fact that the Engl ish are tired of tlie
monopoly that th e frish have enjoyed of the pro
ceed i 11gs of the House of Commons.
Home-nile was the question of prime impor
tance with Mr. GLADSTONE, a nd fol lowing i t., re
su ! ti n g from the action of the peers 011 the home
rule bill, was the question of mending or endiug
the House of Lords. After Mr. GLADSTONE retired
from the Prem iersh ip, these and all other issues
langu ish ed. Lord ROSEBERY'S since1·i ty was not
only doubled by the home-rul ers, but by the Scotch
and \¥elsh members, who are .eager for disestab
l ishmen t ; by the l abor party, whose l eade1·s desired
the te1·ms of the Newcastle program me to be car
ried out ; a nd by the Radicals, of whom Mr. LABOU
CHERE is the lead ing spirit. If Mr. GLADSTONE had
led liis pa1·ty to the polls im med iatel y after the
House of Lo1·ds had thrown ou t the h ome-rule bill ,
the result m ight have been a Liberal triumph ; i t
certaiu l y w o n l d n ot h ave been a rout. Lo1·d ROSE
BERY has been both weak and u n fortu n ate. He
offen ded the Irish in h i s first speech on a Q ueen's
add 1·ess. His Ind ian government ali enated La11 ca
shire Liberal s by imposing a duty on their cottons.
Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT drove so man v brewers
i nto opposition by h is advocacy of the local veto
bill that he lost h is own seat in Derby. The Pre
m ier n ever ingratiated himsel f with the labor lead
ers by taking h imself, or them , or publ ic questions,
se,·iously. It is a tradition that a statesma n g-ai 1 1 s

be a mistake that has come dow11 from an ea1·l ie1·
time. Ce1·tai1 1 l y, d u ring the campaign, Mr. BAL
FOUR thought it w i se to declare that he did 1 1 ot
k now as much about horse-racing as Lord ROSE
BERY did. It may be that in jocularity and l ight
ness of touch Lord ROSEBERY does not surpass
PALMERSTON ; but l 1 ere again the n eed of the J1out'
m ust be d i fferent. PALMERSTON had a party at l1is
back-an old-fashioned English party-a n d ROSE
BERY had a strange col lection of groups, among
whom were sober - mi n ded disse11 ters, determined
labor 1·eforrners, i nflamed and quarrelling home rulers, and men who hated a l ord . As he went on
lie became more a1td more estranged from somfl of
his fol lowing. The labor party threate1 1 ed to
J , el p defeat l1im, and did their utmost to ma;rn good
their word by putting th irty candidates in the field.
The home-rulers were angry because he refused td
gi ve them another opportun i ty. But, most of all,
the coun try was disgusted with a gover11ment and
a party without a defi n i te programme and without
fighti n g quality. Lord ROSEBERY had said tl1at
the House of Lords m ust be refo1·med, and even �lie
Tories agreed in the general proposition. Mr. GLAD:
S'f ONE and Mr. ASQUITH announced that tl 1 e Yelo
power of the Lords and home-rule must constitu t e
the great issues o f the campaign, but tl 1 e Pl'en i ier
n evel' annou nced his plan of reform. Wl1en, afte1:
m uch delay and d 1·ifti n g, the appeal was fi iin lly
made to the country, the Liberal party found it self
without a programme an d without an organ ization.
'l.' he old leader ·w hose voice and presence wei·e es

and whose large faith i n the people and v igorous
cham pionship of h is cause i n spi 1·ed the hearts of

was no assu 1·ance felt that a Liberal victory woul d

reforms which l\fr. GLADSTONE'S success in 1 892
seemed to promise.
And so tbe Tol'ies come back because the Libel'al
task has been i n too weak i'1ands. What will the
'l.'01·ies do for Great Britain ? Abroad there w i l l
b e felt, perhaps, t h e j ingoism of Lord SALISBURY.
At home, what can be done? Mr. CHAMBERLAIN
has h i nted that as Secretary of the Colon ies he
will try to i u duce the colonies to grant freer trade,
and to enter upon larger commercial relations with
the mother - coun t1·y. Ile h as also promised the

not be done by the new government than what will
be d9ne. It is certain that Ireland will be obliged
to wait for home-rule, if, indeed, the abandonment
of PARNELL'S policy has not defin itely p1·evented
her from obtaining anything like the form of self
governm e n t that seemed almost within l1e1· g1·asp
when Mr. GLADSTONE l ast became Premier. The
Welsh and Scotch churches will not be d isestab
l i shed. There may be some charity legislation, but
none that w i l l carry a larger gift of h u man rights.
Whatever happens, the B1·itish Empire is not like
ly to go definitely backward, nor are the British
people likely to permit the pe1·manent abandon
ment of the great reforms for which they have de
clared themselves in former electious. A party
that has only old-age pensions and model cottages
to suggest, not even to prom i se, as an affirmati ve

vol u n tary con tributions of those who desi re their
teachi ngs, and not by taxes taken from those who
desire the teacl 1 i 11gs of some other c h u rc h ; who are
fo1· the mai n tenance and extension of the common

wl10 know that, directly or indirectly, the Liberal
party has compelled all the refo1·ms that have been
i n corporated into the British constitution dudng
t h e presen t reign. T h e people of England i tself

i n D ublin or not, th e y are doubtless in favor of a
better government for Ireland, and increased sel f

seems to have obtained a verdict, and few w h o
real l y appreciate th e admirable features of the
Bri tish government will regret that the second
chamber is not to be destroyed. Mr. BALFOUR said
in one of his campaign speeches that his country
was the onl v o n e so fortunate as to have an u n
written con;titution - a constitution that may be
changed by a simple act of Parliament. The pos
session of such a constitution may not turn out
to be so fortunate in the growing democ1·acy, mi
less the Lords conti n u e to e x i st as a real check

There i s no S upreme Court in Gt·eat B1·itain with

BISHOP POTTER'S . MISSION.
BrsHOP POTTER of this city has been spending a month
of sum mer in regular mission-work. He has left his epis
copal residence for the Stanton Street Mission, recently
transferred from St. George's Church to the cathedral,
and taken upon !Jimsel f the ordinary duties of the minis
ter in charge, who is away on his vacation.
The real significance of this summer residence of the
bishop lies in the indication given by it of a new policy to
be pursued by the Church in its efforts to reach with its
best influences the great crowd of people who fill the shops,
manu factories, and tenement-houses of our great cities.
. Hitherto this has been looked upon as a special branch
of the general work of the Church. Missions have been
established, supported by special contributions, and men
nnd women, often of great ability and h igh character,
have given their lives to it with little less of personal sac
rifice than those who have gone to Asia or Africa. Much
good has been done, but even the most enthusiastic have
been forced to acknowledge that the great majority of
these people have remained untouched by any influence
from the Church. Some have become discouraged, nil()
said that there is no use in trying to help people who do
not want to be helped. Others have watched the success
of the Salvation Army, the University Settlement, an'cl
the Homan Catholic Church, and queried whet,her ti{e
Protestant Church might not learn a lesson. The success
of these organizations has been due chiefly to two thirtgs_ .
-accurate knowledge on the part of the leaders of the
facts they were dealing with, and their ability to make
the poorest feel that in the view of the leaders they are
jnst as essential and important an element in the commu
n ity as the richest. There is little use in telling a work
ing-man that his soul is as val uable as that of his employ
er, when he sees all the efforts of the best brains and the
most complete organization put forth to save the latter,
while he has to put up with a delegated interest.
Bishop POTTER'S experiment has met both of these
needs. Coming into the families on the East Side, not as
a superintendent or occasional visitor, but as a pastor and
friend, he has reached the hearts of the people, and given
them a great impulse upward. The parents whose chil
dren he has bapti,1ed, the sick who have heard his words
of sympathy, the tempted who have received his counsel
anti help, the workers who have had his encouragement,
w i l l all feel very differently in the future toward the mag
nificent cathedral and even toward the different churches.
Their personal manhood and womanhood have been recog
nizecl. But the advantage is not all on their side. Dr.

HE processes of moral disintegration are slow,
and for weeks Winslow Pierce did not dis
cover that his morality, always a little arid,
was crumbling into ashes. Although there
was no external chan ge, the internal structure
was shattered and no longer able to resist a strain. From
the hour of his father's defence of t he buying and selling
of the Ramapo Pottery, Winslow found himself tak ing
views of life very different from those he had held before.
He did not hear the call of duty so often, and he was more
willing to disregard it when he did . . He had a keener
appreciation of the pleasures of the world and a sharper
relish for them.
The first outward sign of his changed condition was in
the i ncreasing attention he begah to pay to his attire.
He had been a little careless about his clothes, buying
them ready-made and wearing them after their freshness
was gone. Now he found
out a fashionable . tailor,
.and bloomed forth rapidly
as a dandy. He had Mary
go to the most expensive
dressmaker in New York,
and he ordered for her an
outfit for the winter very
different from the modest
wardrobe which was hers
when she married. She
told him that she d id not
need the things, that she
had plenty, that it was
foolish to lluy them ; but
when he insisted, she wore
them w ith the frank en
joyment of youth. The
first walk they took togeth
er on Sunday afternoon up
Fifth Avenue after they
had received their new
clothes was delightful to
both alike,although Mary's
p leasure was a little marred
by tl1e doubt whether it
was not wrong to think so
much of mere apparel.
" It is nice to be rich,
isn't it?" asked W inslow,
pressing his wife's arm
closer to his side as they
passed one of the splendid
11ew hoLels. arnl saw two
men who were l u nching i n
a window lean forward to
look at them.
" I suppose so," lVIary
answered. " But I don't
believe it can be right to
spend so much on clothes
when there are poor peo
ple h ungry."
" You gave work to the
poor people making that
handsome dress yon have
on, clirln't you?'.' he return
ed. '' And doing good that
way has brought. you luck.
I've never seen you look
prettier, Mary, than you do
in those clothes."
" Oh, ·w inslow !" she
said, flushing with plea
sure.
" I don't wonder," he
went on, " that those men
in the restaurant turned
round to look at you. I
know I'd do it if you
weren't my wife."
" If I w asn't your wife,"
she retorted, " I hope you
wouldn't look at me· that
way. It would be horrid."
" I tell you what, Mary, "
he said, suddenly, " we
must go and diue at a
restaurant some night.
You've never been to Del
monico's, have you ?"
" Never," she answered.
" And I'd love to."
" Well, " he responded,
" the first time father and
mother dine out-but then
they hardly ever dq dine
out, except with Doctor
Thurston. Still, he's sure
to ask them some time this
fall, and then we'll go on a
spree. " ·
Mary did not quite like this way of putting the pro
posed dinner, but she said nothing.
" I go to the Delmonico's near our office for lunch
every clay now," her husband continued. " I meet lots
of nice fellows there. One of them used to be in college
with me-Ryder . Do you remember Ryder? He was
an '89 man."
Mary thought she did remember h im vaguely.
'' There :isn't much for me to do at the office yet," said
Winslow, " and I don't know when there ever will be, ·
either, for father doesn't consult me or have me help him
really, you know; and he has both the clerks he had be

about him because he's in Mr. Poole's office, and father

" I don't believe your

" Then there's no need
to tell her anything about
it," said Winslow, forcibly.

As it happened, Ezra Pierce did not object to it at all
when W inslow brought in the announcement, adroitly,
half an hour later, j ust after Sauchez had placed the tur
key on the table.
" Vve are going to dine out ourselves, mother and I , "
he said, " on Tuesday of next week."
" Has Doctor Tlrnrston asked you ?" ",V inslow inquired,
" Yes, " his fa tiler responded. " Mrs. Thurston. is . feel

" The doctor has had us at the first dinner in the fall
every winter now for six years, " said Mrs, Pierce. " He

But I wish he had asked you too, Mary. I don't like
leaving you two to dine here all alone. "
Mary looked over a t h e r husbanrl and smiled a s she an
swered, ''. I'm not afraid of getting tired of Winslow's so
ciety . "
" Of course not," Mrs. Pierce responded. " I - didn't
mean that ; you k now better. But I've got so used to
having you at dinner, my dear, that it wouldn't seem din
ner to me without you."
W inslow lrntl remarked t hat bis father was i n good
h 1 1 mor that evening, and having safely announced his
ow11 fl i n ner out, he ventured again.
" That's so," he suggested. " Dinner here would be
l"nely without you and -father. This is a pretty big room
for two people only. I guess I'll take my wife out·wJ1 ere
we can see folks. I say, Mary, suppose we go_ to Del
m on ico's to dinner the night they go to Doctor Thurs
ton's?"
Mrs. Pierce looked at her son i n some surprise, and
then she turned to her daughter-in-law.
Mary hesitated a little, anrl finally she said, " I've uever
been to Del monico's, and I think ·I should like to dine
there once. "
Mrs. Pierce commented a little dqubtfnlly. " I have
never !Jeen there either, but I do not uelieve it is the kind

J,ave different views. I'm sure I wish you to have every

W mslow Pierce walked across Madison Square in the
clear November moonlig·ht, and dined together at a littie
table in a corner of the large room at Delmonico's.
vVinslow was dressed with u n usual care, and he had a
1Jroad chrysanthemum i n his button-hole. He bad insisted
m Mary's wearing one of her new gowns, with her most
:oquettish bonnet; and she had allowed herself to be per
suaded into it. When they had ta.ken their seats they soon
discovered that their own u n wonted gorgeousness attracted
no attention-to the relief of Mary, and a little to the sur
prise of Winslow.
He ordered the dinner-a long dinner of little delicacies,
one or another of which he had had for l unch downtown,
so he told Mary; Ryder had given him advice about or
dering a d inner as well as about other t h ings.
Mary was occupied i n observation of the people at the
other tables-of the manners of the men a11rl of the clothes
o f the women ; and she did 11ot list.en to all that W inslow
said to the waiter. Therefore she was greatly surprised
when the glass beside her plate was filled with champagne.
·winslow was watching her face in expectation of a pro
test.
' ' Ob, Winslow !" was all she said.
" Why not?" he asked. " It wou't hurt you. I often
have it for lunch . "
" But I never drank any before,'' she exclaimed.
" You'll have to drink it now," her husband returned.
" It's ordered, and it's in your glass-you'll get to like it
soon enough."
" I don't really know-" she began.
" I'll know for you, " he i nterrupted. " Taste i t ! Didn't
your father ever have champagne? He wasn't a temper
ance crank."
" He didn't insist on total abstinence, i f that's what you
mean , " s!Je explaiuecl. ' · He believed in every man's de
ciding for h i mself, I've heard him say often; and, as pres
ident of a college, he thought it best for him to set a good
example."
" Well, !'Ii set you a good example now," her husband
�aid, with a caressing smile. · ' You belong to me now,
aucl must do as I do, " and w i th that he emptier! his glass.
vVhen the d inner was over Mary had done little more
tlum taste her wine, and Winslow had to fi111sh the pint
almost without her assistance.
vVhile they were eating their ice-cream he looked at her
:tncl smiled and said, " l've got another surprise f9r you "
" What is it?" she asked.
He took out his new card-case, with a silver monogram
on the black alligator-skin, and he picked out two long,
narrow, brown tickets.
' ' What are t hose for?" she asked agam.
" You shall see soon enough," he answered, returning
the tickets to the card-case and the card-case to his .
pocket.
They bad two l ittle cups of coffee, and Winslow, whose .
eyes were already bright and whose cheeKs were a little
flushed, ordered a t iny glass of ·green mint.
W'hen they were going out he paused in the vestibule
to l ight a cigarette. and then they started off together
But instead of crossing the square, Winslow turned down
Broadway.
" Why, Winslow," cried his wife, " where are you go
ing ?"
" Where we are going is the other surpnse," he an
swered.
" Won't you tell me?" she pleaded.
" Haven't you had a good time so far?" he asked.
" D idn't you l ike the little taste of wine you had?"
" It has gone to my head, I believe," she answered.
'' That won't h urt you," he responded. " You'll soon
get o ver that. You have enjoyed your dinner, haven't
you ? Well. then, you j ust trust to me, and you'll enjoy
the next surprise, too. "
He guided her down Broadway and across Union
Square, and through F ifteen t h Street to Irving- Place.
'fhen he took out his two tickets, j ust as they walked up
some steps under a broad canopy
The building they were enteriug was the Academy of
M usic, and gaudy posters before t he door announced The
Black Crook, and declared that Miss Daisy Fostelle would
appear as Stalacta.
Mary caught sight of one of the pictures of Stalacta
with the name of the play above it, and she shrank !Jack.
" This is the surprise, " said Winslow, drawing her on.
" You've never seen The Black Crook, have you? I told
yon I'd take you off on a spree."
Mary sat through the play with her brain whirling, not
knowing what to think, enjoying the skilfully blended
colors of the spectacle, and shocked at some of t h e cos
tumes "Winslow laughed at Greppo am! expressed open
admiration for Stalacta.
' · She is handsome, isn't. she?" he cried. " She doesn't
h ide her good looks either, does she ? Ryder knows her,
aud-"
" I should think that your friend M r. Ryder has more
than one undesirable acquaintance, " interru pted Mary.
" I guess he has," Winslow admitted. " He knows lots
of people of all sorts. I never saw a man who had so
many acquaintances. I think it's · quite a compliment he's
taken such a faucy to me."
.
During one of the intermissions Wi nslow thought he
saw Ryder at the back of the h ouse. He was gone u n t il
after the curtain had risen again, and when he came back
h e had a coffee !Jean between his lips.
He sank heavily into the chair !Jeside his wife.
" It wasn't Ryder," he whispered, " l>ut it's all right.
I met two of the fellows who are goi n g to dine with me
day after to-morrow, and it's all right."
"\Vinslow aided i n accomplishing a repetition of Miss
Daisy Fostelle's song ; but duriug the last act he almost
went to sleep three or four t imes, recovering hi mself ab
ruptly, and explaining to Mary that the heat of the theatre
made him drowsy.
When they reached home she could not but notice how
f1 11shed was !Jis face, ordinarily _ so pale, and she thought
that his movements were a little strange ; and there was
something unusual even in the way he threw h is arms
about her and kissed her several times as she was comb
ing her hair for the night. She said nothing, but she lay
awake for a long w hile, l istening to her h usband's heavy
breathing, aud wondering whether her vague and scarce
ly formulated suspicions had any foundation at all, or
whether, in her youthful ignorance of life, she failed to
uuderstand .
B u t when Winslow came home two nights later a t half
past one o'clock in the morning, after his dinner at the
Hoyle Club, w ith his step u nsteady and his utterance
tilick, and when he sank down on the bed in his clothes
and dropped off i nstantly into a stupid slumber, it. was 110
longer possible for her to doubt. She spent the night on
the sofa ; and i t was almost tl!e late winter dawn wheu at
last she cried herself to sleep.

'l'HE HANGING OF BAD 'l'O:M S.Ml'l'H.
TEN years ago, Jackson, a little mountain town scattered
loosely over two dusty yellow h ills i n Breathitt County,
Kentucky, was the seat of one of t h e bitter fe11cls t hat
have st.a ined the highland border of the State with blood ,
and abroad Jrnve engulfed the reputal ion of the BI ne-grass.
It is the terminus now of the ouly railroad that. has pene
trated the Eastern fastnesses. and a fortnight. ago it p n t
t h e first foot on the neck of Kentucky mountain lawless
ness by hanging " Bad " Toni Smith, a desperado of t he
French-Eversole feud There have been perhaps half a
lmndred nnjustifia!Jle homicides around Jackson in the
last. ten years This was the first legal hanging in the
connty-the reg10n ; and · it means a n epoch
The Kentucky mountnineer ha� been the most isolated
of the Southern mountaineers. He was more evenly di
vided by the war because h e was oftener a slave-hoider
In consequence, the war gave him the feud, the fend g-ave
him the ambush , and the ambush gave h im Bad Tom
Smith and his like.
Bad Tom was an assassin. He was a good-looking fel
low j ust over t h i rty, with a pallid face, a black mustache
-the sine quci non of the mountain dandy-black hair,
and !Jlack upper and under lashes that literally lay out on
his cheeks. The eye under them was blue, languid, and
bold only when it looked into a woman's. He played the
banjo and sang; and, as h e h imself said, women would
leave then· husbands to follow him. In the French-Ever
sole feud, several years ago, he )dlled many men, us11ally
as a h ireling, and always from aml>11sh. Last spring he
killed a man near Jackson. Meanwhile Jackson had built
a school aod created the public sentiment that made this
mmder Bad Tom's last On the clay of the execution an excursion train ran u p
from the Blue-grass . T o the credit o f the region i t started
with one man-a reporter. In the !.>rush country the hill
people boarded ii, and at Jackson seat and aisle were full
Perhaps four thousand mountaineers were already there
Many hiid come in a week ahead on foot and horseback,
in ox-carts and heavy wagons, and had camped on the
edge of the town, waitmg They had streamed in from
the head-waters of the Kentucky, the Big Sandy, and the
Cumberland - men, women, children. babes in arms,
friends and enemies of the condemned man, and feuds
men in plenty, Littles anrl Strongs of Breathitt, Howards
and Turners of Harlan, Frenches and Eversoles of Perry,
Hatfields and McCoys of Pike.
· Trouble was expected. · The sheriff was supposed to
he Bad Tom's friend, and i t was claimed that he h arl se
lecterl fifty of the murderer's friends for his inner guard.
So Jackson formed an outer guard of two hundred and
fifty for the grim p urpose of seeing that Tom's friends
passed him through t.he trap-door instearl of out into the
w oods. At seveu o'clock in tile morning the · murderer
748
was taken down to the river between two long lines of 'Win
chesters and baptized in the muddy water. All !he morn
ing after that p rayers and sho11tings and wailiug hymns
came from the jail. Now and then Bad Tom's pnle face
would appear at the w indow, and sometimes a preacher
won Id thrust h is hands through the
· !Jars and p reach to the
·
gaping crowd outside.
At the time set for t h e execut ion the sheriff spoke from
the scaffold and said that Bad Tom had l>een forgiven for
all Ids mmclers but the last, and that he would give t he
condemned man two hours in which to p ray pa rdon for
t hat. Meau while Tom telegraphed an earthly praye·r t o
t h e Governor for a respite, which was denied, and a t one
o'ciock the murderer stood on the boxlike scaffold , con
fessing a half - dozen murders one after another to tl,e
newspaper men. When he was through h e w i ped h is
forehead, gave one deep sigh, and smiled, as though a
weight were gone at last. Then he spoke to the hig
crowd that was massed about the scaffold. Sharp men,
whiskey, and bad women, he said, had ruined him.
" I want all who will stop whiskey and try to avoid my
end to raise their hands."
Instantly a hand shot above every _sunburnt face.
Bad Tom smiled what seemed to be arr honest smi le.
" That's beautiful," he said. Then they listened w ith re
spect and silence. Some of the women cried softly ; tl,e
m en were grave. Every!Jocly was except one l i ttle wo
man in black, who, with three little children, was pressing
against the rope. Her face wore a curious smile.
At his own request, the murderer walked around t l,e
rai l ing for at least ten minutes, singing. I swung- from
the scaffold then uear the litt.le woman in black. She in
sisted that the children should be held where t hey cou ld
see. A moun t aineer spoke to her, holding out his haud,
" How air ye?"
" I'm feeling m ighty good now," she said. Slie was the
w idow of Bad Tom's last victim.
For forty minutes the murderer spoke, sang, and prnyecl .
Then the white curtains were drawn. The rest was u n
seen; b u t 011e scream o f terror and a n answering wail 0 1 1
t h e edge o f t h e crowu from the condemned man's sister
told what was clone.
There is 110 other way than this to reach the imagina
tion of these mountaineers, and it was wel l that there was
such a crowd. To-day the hanging is ta lked of in e very
cave i n the mountains of Kentucky and West Virginia,
and the law has gained a power that it never had before.
Now the mountaineers know that money a11cl infl11cncc

Isolation is the secret of this barbarism. The Ken
tucky mountaineer l ives like the pioneer. He still hits t he
fierce code of the backwoodsman, and he has had a cel)
tury apart from ch nrch and school in w hich to dete
riorate. He is rarely a thief, a robber, or a liar, He is
pathetically hospitable and obliging. The people who
take active part i n the feuds arc comparatively few. The
stranger and the 11011-partisan are rarely molested. Prop
erty of the beaten faction is rarely touched. On one sirle
or the other. ambush is · unusual. Withal the K e n t 11cky
mountaineer is prett.y bad, but consider his awful isolation
since the Revolution and you wonder that he is not
worse.
So many t h ings are subject ive that at times it seems
very questionable whether there are any causes or effect s
outside o f our consciousness. A t ree falls i n the sol itude
of a forest where there is no one by to hear, and there is
no more noise than i f it fell i n a dream, or not at all. A
terrible review of your book is written, and if, in spite of
all the intentions and acciclent.s w hich !.>ring such things
to the author's eye, you happen not to see it, there has
p ractically been no such review, so far as you are con
cerned. The gems of the dark u 1 1 fathom,cl caves, the
flowers born t o hl11sli unseen, have they real ly t he purest
ray serene, do they ever actually waste t heir sweetness
where there is 110 nose to smell i t ? " What is t rnth,
saith jesting Pilate," but he m ight much more merri l y
ask, What is fact? Even o f t h e thing that h a s verita!Jly
been, where there were people to witness and report of it,
there 1s n o absol 11tely faithful record outside of the wit
nesses' consciousness.
I suppose I am urging these sophistical considerations
in order to prepare the reader for any disappointment I,e
m ight feel i n not being able to believe everything I should
l ike to say about some aspects of our summer life, in t hi s
paper a n d rn others, from time t o time. I am sure t h at i f
I told t h e very trnth on all points he would find it still
more difficul t ; not that I mean to tell i t , but. that I wish
him to u nderstand that he would not believe i t if I did,
and that he might as well have fiction at once.

When Life and Letters, eitrly in ,July, quitted their
classic abode in Frankl i n Square, anrl set forth on their
summer wanderings, i t was to visit the Long Island mos
quito in h i s home. They had ·a nother purpose, of course.
but this was what t.hey gave out as their motive. They
had heard much of this mosquito, but d uring their winter
excursions to his haunts they had never seen h i m. ·1 say

tained in regard to the mosquito it is that he is always she.
Very little else is known to science. though a great deal i s
known t o literature,especially t h e literature which h u mor
ously imagines itself funny. It is this which has constrnct
ed the popular character of the mosquito, and assigned
it the w hole of Long Island for a habitat, though perhaps
that is the only locality where the mosquito is not to be
found, or if found is found not u n friendly or troublesome.
Such is the influence of the American paragrapher that
nothing is more firmly established in the p 1 : l.J lic mind con
cerning Long Island than the superstition of i t s mosquito,
and no sooner had Life and Letters said they were going
down to Long Island, than they were told that they would
never come back; that the mosquitoes would eat them
up; that they would lift them out of their chairs. They
were told that at one point on the island where there was
a large town, and almost as large a settlement of summer
sojourners, the mosquitoes were so bad that people were
obliged to put pantaloons on the mules which draw the
lawn-mowers. The person who sail! this had seen botll
the pantaloons and the mules.
It must be confessed that at the first point where the
explorers stoppetl there were certain ominous peculiarities
of the local architecture. Every door and every w indow
was scrupulously netted, though whether the chimney
tops were netted, as they are iq some Boston �11 bmbs, the
explorers could not tell. They only know t,hat they were
quite safe in-doors through the night, and that the next
d�y they walked about and �at round far i nto the evening
without the least molestatwn from mosquitoes. Some
mosqu_itoes indeed they saw, and some they heard, \Jut
these msects so far respected the laws of hospitali 1 y as
not to make the strangers their prey.
Th� experience was so contrary to all that had been
pro_nnsed o!· threatened, that they begau to question the
natives. First they looked for the mules in pantaloous i n
nil the fields of tall grass, b u t there were not even any
mules. Tl�ere were pantaloon_s everywhere i n plenty ;
some !a<ly btcycl1sts wore a modification of them; bnt there
were no mosquitoes, or at least none that stuno-. The na
tives frankly owned, when questioned, that tliey had
soR1etimes had �hem in . times past, though they spoke so
vaguely, _and with so l 1ttle evident fear of ever having
them agam, that one could hardly credit their con fession.
They said that after a week's rain w hen it came off warm
they had been known ; \Jut it h;td already been rainin,�
some days, n.nd now it was warm, and there were no moi
q 111t?es. When �ife and L_etters joined in calling the at
tentwn of the natives to this fact they could not deny H;
and then they said that a north wind was apt to bring
them from the _inland marshes where they fed, but that a
sea-breeze earned them all off again.
In places where the salt meadows formed the shore of
the Great South Bay the people said that the mo�quitoes
only troubled you where the swamps were fresh ; where
there were fresh-water swamps, they accounted for their
absence by the fact tllat there were no salt meadows. At
points east they had the impression that the mosquitoes
infested the western parts; at points west they understood
that they were very bad farther east. Some believed that
they �ere worst in September ; others that they were
wor�t 1!1 June ; others yet conjectured their possible aui
rnos1ty 111 the latter part of July and the beginnino· of Au
gust. No one could be positive, _o r specific, so ttat Life
and Letters came away not so wise as they had been when
they trnsted to hearsay before visiting t he island. It is
true that there were the nettings on the doors and win
dows, so abundant that the whole landscape of the island
seemed nett ed ; but from their own experience they could
not have said that these were uot intended solely as a pro
tection against flies.
IL
If they were disappointed of mosquitoes on Long Island
they had full compensation in air and scenery of peculiar
eharm. I myself am very fond of levels, and I am not
surprised, therefore, that Life and Letters found those of
southern Long Island delightful. Through the nettino-s
there is sometimes a glimmer of hazy hills to the nortl!
ward, but for the most part there is not even this to
break the line of the vast plain. The yellow-and-green
\Jeach l.J eyond the blue expanses of the Great 8011th I3ay
shows as a range of sand dunes, a l i ttle higher here, a l i t
tle lower there, \Jut nowhere loftier than the sail of a cat
boat, and never out of keeping with the even smoothness
of the mainland. In the latter part of June and the early
part ?f ,Tuly this has a summer wealth and peace. very
soothmg to �he eye after the harsh impact of city sights,
as you see 1t from the train, softly vary i ng itself from
dwarfish woods of oak and pine to swamps of alder and
h uckleberry, gay with the bloom of dogroses ; or mea
dows heavy with pmple - headed timothy or crimson
clover bolls ; or wheat-fields richly ripe and of a yellow
gold deepening to copper.; or densely green apple orchards,
and near the hoµses old, old cherry-trees.
It is not from the tr3:in, though, that you see Long Island
anght. From the tram you see the t!Jings I have named,
and other graces of the landscape which refuse themselves
to the catalogu e ; but these pleasant characteristics are
perpetually interrupted by the arrests at t he stations with
their litt.le flutter of business activity, their eviden'ce of
suburban fashion in the smart vehicles aud crop-t ailed
horses waiting about, of summer sojourn in the i.Jotel 011111 i buses, and of native life in the more or less decrepit
carryalls and buggies. On the Long Island south shore
the littl e villages beaded u pon the railroad are only five or
ten m inutes apart, and even these are not seen at their
best from the train, and often · they are not seen at all. But
they have commonly their main street upon that famous
South Country Road which runs from one end of the isl
and to the other, and if you will drive through them o n
this you will see how pretty they are with their foliao·e
on, and how quaint they are when, like Mr. Fuller's ' h e,'.'o
ine, they give up trying to \Je beautiful. It is useless to
prefencl that they have the neat ness and tastefulness of
New Engfand villages ; but I l i ke a l i ttle the slovenly
graces, and these friendly-looking, homelike towns did
not trouble me by their occasional negligences. One does
not find much evidence of their ancient settlement, short
of East 1-fampton, I suppose, though they must all be two
centuries old at least ; but now and then in town and
?0unt!"Y . you come upon a house r.Jrnroughly local. This
1s a krnd of house shingled down to the ground, as many
old houses i n the New England fis!Jing-towns are ; but on
Lone: Island the shi ngles are wide, and they show to the
depth of eight or ten inches, with au e:t:!'ect of $Olidity in
the wall which nothing else but stone gives to the eye.
I t is such a very good house, so quiet, nai:ve, and pleas
ing, w hen mere carpentry, that I could not help wonder
i ng that architecture seemed nowhere to have worked for
ward from it, in the characteristics I have noted, among
the summer cottages.
These� shingled and clapboarded in all varieties of af
fectation and consciousness, with a rarely occasional sim
plicity apd beauty, li n e pretty much the whole length of
the South Country Road, where you encounter many other
evidences of wealth waiting for taste Lt> catch up with it.
The pc\nderous landau, with the fat co'a chman and jing
ling harness chains; the drag, the trap, the dog- cart,
with the brown-hatted groom, far outnumber t\Je native
\Juggie!! and village carryalls; and the faces yo.u see are
mostly l\I4nhat.Jian Island faces, uot Long Island.
III.
I fancy that even the faces wh ich flash or whir by o n
bicycles are N e w York faces i n far the greater part,
though now the bicycle is so uni versal that our whole con
ti nent may be said to he wheeling. 011 Long Island the
South Country Road, with its smooth leve!A almost un
broken by a rise or fall of grou nd, swarms with bicyclers
of every age and sex, aml is perhaps one of the I.J est places
to del)ate, with the evidence for and against hefore the
eye, a question which seems still to \Je vexed. As to men,
it i s perhaps 110 longer so, \Jut the sense of I.Jeanty does
not conc,e rn itself with thei r graceless sex . As to wo
men, i t, is . differl'nt; iu whatever they are or do, that sense
demands satisfact ion , a11d the question witli Life and
Letters wns whether in view of l.Jicycling and the i.>i
cycless, it must not forever famish.
I should not like to he tlwught of as entering i n to the
question at all, myself, anti I shall only try to report their
discussion aR I know it. or so much as I think for the
reader's· good; and I shall not tty to characterize the per
sons; or personifications, that took part i n it.
Life, as a young lady comes \Jeating up a slight ri�e of
ground, w ith a canvas 011 the wheel before her : · ' Oh,
look ! She's been sketching. . ,ve\l , she is making her hi
c_ycle of some use. Perhaps she is putting her art in evi- .
dence. a lit tie."
Letteiw : '• Is it any worse than exhil.Jiting it-in the Artists', for instance?"
Dife : " No; and i t's much easier. Besides, she had to
get it home somehow. There ! See how fast that girl
yonder is going ! ls t hat what they eall sprinting?"
Lettei·B : " That's what they call scorch ing. "
Life : " Well, w hat is the d ifference from · workin g a
sewing-machin e ?"
Letters : " That is done with one foot ; " nd it's useful."
L((ii : ' "fhey say t his is useful t oo. It is very good
for the nerve-balance ; and the sewiug-ma1 h i ne is very \Jad
for th.at. "
Letters : ' ' Perhaps because they work i t with only one
foot. 'fhey ought to use two. Then the nerve-1.>alance
would come right."
Life , absen tly, while gazing at a troop of cyclers and
cyclesses passing : " Perhaps. I don't k now whether I
like the k nickerbockers more, or the loaded skirt."
Letters : '' Or less?''
Life .; " They're both very ungraceful ; or undignified . "
Letters : " I don't know about t h e grace. It certainly
doesn't, look like the poetry of motion yet; but perhaps
we're not used to it. It s11ggests the walking-beam of
the steamboat at close view ; i.>ut at a l i t tle distance you
lose the grotesque effect. It cerl ainly requi res distance . "
Life : " The more t h e better. I don't know b u t the ex
hibition of thnt canvas was mther modest. after all. At
any ra�e. it ohscmed the walkin g-beam effect-hid it, i n
fact. W h y couldn't something b e contrived t o do that
permanen t l y on the bicycle?"
Letters : " Like the dash- hoard of a \Juggy?"
J,ife : " Yes ; or that leather apron yo11 pull up when
it. rains. Perhaps it wouldn't cto. Could a fat woman
ever look graceful on a wheel ?"
Lettei-s : '· Could a fat woman look graceful 011 foot?''
L{fe : " There is something in that. But you must al
low it's very undignified ."
Letters : " I did n't k now I was def-ending i t . "
Life : " No; b u t fancy a,dignified woman on a wheel.
You can't."
Letters : " Yonder comes one. She is clearly a lady, and
she is dignified."
Life : · .. She i s severe. She looks as if she defied you
to think her undign i fied . There ! She is off her wheel.
She is in a short skirt and higb boots. She tries to carry
it off very haughtily, \Jut Ehe looks-stumpy. What do
you think of that tall lean girl in spectacles?"
Letters : " Cu lture on a bicycle? What harm ?"
Life : " Oh, none ! But I thought we were talking a\Jout
g,·ace. It's very strange ! I dare say we shall get accus

Lette1·s : '' I don 't think that's a test, quite. The fin de
siecle atmosphere would he wanting."
Lffe : " Or the fin de bisiecle."
Letters : " You can't expect me to notice tlictt. "
Life .' " No ; but what figure-female figure-men's fig
ures are h ideous anyway, and always, as they are in dan
cing-can yon fancy graceful on a wheel ?"
· Lette1-s : " You remember l\'lichclangelo's Fortune :
the goddess bestriding her w h eel - a unicyclist ? One
wouldn't want to go quite so far as that. But light, fly
ing drapery; youth; \Jeanty ; sculpturesque, long- forms;
fearless innocence and unconsciousness ; an u nhooded
head and a radiant smile-yes, it is imaginable."
Life : " With distance?"
Letters : " Oh, distance certainly."
Life : " The more the better?"
Lettei·s : " I' m not so sure. There would be no harm . "
L(fe : " Oh, it isn't a question of that, a n y more. There
can be uo harm in what every one does, if it isn't wrong
in itself. And they hope that dress-reform is to advance
in the k nickerbockers of the bicyclers. "
Letters : ' · Yes. But I wish the bicycle had made lacing
as impossible as long skirts. Yon<ler comes a woman with
a waist as small as her neck. Frightful ! I wonder if
they know how ugly they are? Like i nsects : like h om
glasses ! With her violent exercise, w!Jy doesn't she gasp
and drop from her wheel?"
Life : ' ' Because lacing is wholesome, I suppose, if it
isn't pretty. But it's incongruous on the wheel."
Letters : " Yes ; the Fortune has a waist like a washer
woman. Perhaps beauty is really plebeian . "

RICHA RD MORRIS HUNT.
THE question who is the greatest of American archi
tects thus far is a question not very easy to answer, and
the answer to it wouid depend not alone upon the t ech
nical training and competency of the answerer, but u pon
his personal predilections and temperament. But if the
question were changed to the question wlio was the most
successful of American arch itects, nut necessarily in the
extent of his practice, i n the magnitude of his works, or
their artistic excellence or individuality, but i n the posi
tion whic;h he occupied i n the public mind as the repre
sentative of the architecturnl profession, if not of the art
of architecture itself, in the United States, most fairly in
structed persons would agree in giving t!Je name of Iiich
ard Morris Hunt, who died on the last day of July at
Newport, in the sixty-seventh year of his age.
The causes of this distinction are uot very far to seek.
In the first place, l\'lr. H u n t began t h e practice of his pro
fession i n t.his country, almost exactly forty years ago, \Jy
far the hest equipped for its practice of any nativ e Amer
ican. The kind and exte1lt of training w h ich almost any
young American who desires to \Je an architect, and whose
parents are able to afforcl it, may now enjoy, he was the
only young American architect of his time to have u nder
gone. His father. not only :i respectable but a disti n
guished man in Vermont, d ied w h e n his son Ricliard was
\Jut four years old, and his elder son, ,villiam Morris,
afterwards the famous painter, was \Jut eight. After a
course of instruction at New Haven and at t!Je Boston
Lat i n School, the boy, at the age of fi fteeu, was taken
a\Jroad by his mother to complete his general education
and to beg i n his special education. He studied arch itect
ure first at Geueva under Darier, n fterwards at Paris i n
the Beaux-Arts as a pupil i n the atelier o f Hector Lc fuel.
After his " wander years " in Europe, Egypt, and Asia
J\llinor, the pupi l , on his return to Paris in 1854, rejoined
his.teacher, Le fuel, who had bee11 appointed to design a n d
superintend t h e extension o f the Louvre, a n d made u nder
the direction of his master the drawings for the Pavilion
de la Bibliotheque. which is known to a l l visitors to Paris.
The next year, 1855, lte began h is American career w i t h
the design o f a town house i n New York, since demolish
ed, but in which appeared plainly enough the results of
!Jis studies for the Louvre, and also w i th the designs of
the earliest of the cott ages or villas of t.hat Newport wi t h
the expansion and uphui lding of which h e has l.Jeen for t he
int ervening years so closely identified t hat the aspect of
the wonderful watering-place owes more to-day to the
work of Mr. Hunt t han to that of any other person.
These e:i rlier efforts were e veu ludicrously huml.J le com
pared w ith the great profusion and costliness of the latest
additions to the arcl , i tecture of Newport from the same
hand, I.Jut t hey none the less bore honorable testimony not
only to the fidelity of the youn .g architect's European
st udies, but. also to !,is con vict ion t hat the practical prob
lems that con fronted h i m in liis own country could not
\Je solved l.Jy a mere repetition or e ven \Jy an adaptatiou
of his academic studies.
After these original and somewhat startling \Jeginnings
the young architect lapsed into comparative inactivity.
The decade 1 860-70 was spent largely in Europe and add
ed little to the record of his orofessional achievements.
But early in the seventies he resumed the active p ractice
of his profession in New York, and for that decade pro
d uced not only a number of country houses not easy to
classify, I.J ut also a number of ci1y buildings that are
known to every New-Yorker, at least, and some that are as
familiar to the residents of other cities. These are very
individual. picturesque, and original works, in which there
is never any lack of vivacity and which are q u i t.e certain
to break in upon the apathy of the beholder, while, al1er
nati11 g with them, are edi fices of which the characteristic
i s a monumental gravity attaining sometimes a monumen
tal dignity. Of the former class are the Brimmer Bouse on
Boston Common, the Tribune l.J11ildi 11g, the older build
ings of the Presbyteriau Hospital, nnd the Coal and Iron
Exchange in New York, and t he buildings of the Theologi
cal Seminary in New Haven . The \Jest-known and per
haps the best example of the latter is the Lenox Lil.Jrary.
It is a cmious fact that w ith all M r. Hunt's versatilit.y,
w ith all h is thoroughness of equipment, his restlessness
of experimentation, and the u n usually wide range of his
practice, he should have l.Jecorne an indisputably estal.J
lishcd architect, and should even have passed hi8 fiftieth
year, before he really found his proper and congenial ar
cliil ectnrnl environ ment. He found it first in 1882 with
the house of Mr. vV. IL Vanderbilt, i n Fifth Avenue,
wh ich was prolmhly the very first., and cert ainly the first
st rik i ngly successful, of liis essays in the French Renais
sance-the architecture of the chateaux of the Loire.
It was perlrnps the popular success of this work that de
termined the subsequent career of its author, who thence
forth addictetl himself in the main, at least in his domes
tic work, to the style i n which this was composed. The
group of " Marquand houses " in Madison Avenue, the
Gerry house in Fi fth Avenue, and a very ad m irable house
on the Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, were the chief pro
ductions that followed it in town houses. In summer
houses their author had the opportunity of giving to his
works in the French Renaissance the detachment and i n
some degree the amplitude that belo11ged t o wht\t, with
out any impeachment of h is talent, may fairly be called
their originals, as in the Goelet house at Newport ; while
i n Biltmore, in North Carolina, which he scnrcely l i ved
to see com pleted, h e had the u n ique opportunity of erect
ing a chateau in the old sense, a " seat " set in ample
grounds and laid out on a truly lordly scale.
He by no means practised in this style exclusively, even
i n his latest years, but a lternated it with exercises i n Ital
ian or i n a stricter classic. Among the former is " Th e
Breakers," one of t h e most artistic as w e l l a s one of the
most sumptuous of the Newport villas. Among the lat
ter is the e ven more noted. but perhaps less noteworthy,
' " Marble House," also at Newport. It is fortunate for
J\llr. Hunt's fame that that b u i lding of h i s which has \Jeen
seen and considered by the m ost people, the Administra
tion Building of the World's Fair at Chicago, should also
be thtit which exhibits him perhaps at his very best, seeing
that t here are in it the reconciliation and fusion of artistic
qualities that elsewhere seem so diverse, strict classicism
and free p icturesqueness, monumental reoose and Parisian
chic. It fully merited the gold medal of the Royal Insti
tute of British Architects, the highest prize open to archi
tects throughout the civilized world, and the fit crown of
the architect's career.

HE letter from the Colonel said that if I would take the five-o'clock train from
New York, run out along the north shore of Long Island to Glen Cove, and
tbere take the wagon to the boat-landing, I could not fail to fi nd Vivi1in if I
asked any boatman to row me out to her. That read clearly enough in the
note, and could be and was followed to the lelter until the time came for
finding Vivian at anchor. From this point my boatman, at the rate of two dol lars
per hour, rowed me all over the bay and ran down every hundred-foot schooner i n the fleet
for the rest of the afternoon and half the evening. Then at ten o'clock, when we returned
to the landing, oue warm but rich, the other poor and angry, it was simple enough to
find out what a little i u genuity would ha.v e discovered before, that this Monday was
the first day of the cruise, and consisted of a race off Glen Cove, wherein, as sometimes
occurs, the wind had d ied away calm, and that Vivian, with some forty other amateur
sail, was at that moment, and had been during my costly hours, drifting about in Long Isl
and Sound. There was nothing for it, therefore, but to sit on a hotel piazza near the
landing and wait for the calm to roll by.
· Just l>eforc m idnight there came the beavy swing of oars in under the gloom, and for
the twentieth t ime I looked over the railing, saw four lJluejackets swaying together, and
heard the fami l iar, " Way 'nough !" But for the first time 1 caugl.Jt a familiar ring in the
command, and knew that Vivian was in and my vigil ended . In a moment we were
in the stern-seats, the Colonel had given: " Oars! Let fal l ! Give way !" and I had en
·tered . upon n different kind of life for the next week - a life as clistnnt from office,
sul.J urban trains, late chnners, and early breakfasts as could possibly be - a life of work
and enjoy ment, of etiquette and1 iaformality, of discipline and freedom. As t ile Colonel
, .tl.Je d ifficulty of getting into a decent anchorage, we
talked of the race,,the b�astly faTm;
worked <mt u1)c)er bow_sprit shrouds and graceful overhangs until the silent white sides
of the good ,Vivian- loomed up, and in a • momen t we had swung under her stern and
brought up aJ, the starboard gangway.
Tllen came the descent from the deck into a bright cabin , with its hearty hand-shakes
from half a dozen red-faced men lying about sleepily in white cluck clothes, with its
chnff at the city man's paleness, and fi nally a long cigar and a small amount of King
William at the bottom of a glass of plain soda. And so the annual cruise of the New
York Yacht Club was begun.

usual thing aboard the average boat, where guests and
owners al i l,e are sailors, and go over the crnise for the
pleasure of tak i ng part in sailing and making sail-it is a
usual thing- for one after another to crawl sleepily up the
gangway in his pnjamas, and , rullbing his eyes at the light,
take a weak look around the fleet. It may be half past
fi ve, it may be seven. The episode repeats itself over and
over again, only varied by the number of guests.
About seven, however, a cluster of pajamaed figures
gathers on the after - skylight over the gangway, and
somellocly searches out the mast and funnel of the Com

Commodore has to sny for the day. Some one brings
forth the signal-code and spreads it on his knees. Two
or three others keep their glasses fixed on the Commodore's
rigging, and everybody gradually wakes up.
Tl1e sun is by this time high i n the heavens, but no flags
nre flying, no gun is fired, and as it. is not sunrise no lady
i n the fleet is supposed to appear on deck. If there are
any going along with the crui se-and there frequently are
-they must keep within the seclusion w hich theii: own
pri vate cahins grant or take the conseq uences; for it is the
yachtsman's privileg-e, nay, his bounden duty, to hnve his
pl unge off the <leek every morning, and if this plunge
were for any reason prevented, the cruise coulcl scarcely
go on. Something unusual would 11appen, and the whole
week would be unsntisfactory.
As soon as the signals go u p in the Commodore's rig
g i n!.( there is a great deal of talking o n the part of the
men with the glasses. " Bl ue flag with a w hite square."
" Red flag w ith a yellow cross and blue flag with a w hite
diagonal cross."
" Triangular
flag, Llue and yellow, and square
blue flag w ith w hite square cen
tre." These are at once compared
with reproductions of themselves
in the code-book, and after much
difference of opinion it appears
that we are to " prepare to get
u nder way at " - " 8.30 A.M. "
" for New Haven. " That settles
t.h e order of the day, and; after a
plunge, we are all below dressing
and reacly for breakfast at eight.
The charm of this w hole hour,
indeed, the charm of the whol�
crnise, l ies i n the fad thnt you ·
yourself have something to clo with
the things that arc going on aroul)d
yon. Yon are not merely a guest
w h o is being entertained. You
are either watching for signals,'.or
taking a pl unge with the others,
or keeping the time of Vivian
and other boats as they round
buoys, or pulling w i th twenty oth
ers on the main-sheet, or, at the
very least, holding the w indward .
rai l down.
This morning, for example, after
the sunrise gun has been fired, and
the l ittle balls of bunting have
. been broken ont at the mast-head,
I nm stat.ioned beside the Colonel,
as he stands at the w heel, to net fl�
time - keeper for the day. I a1n
presented with a large pad, a pen
cil, and a stop-watch, as Vivian's
head-sails fill away, and she foils
a little off the southeast brneze
w i th started sheets towards the
Commodore's craft at the entrance
t.o the harbor. A start is a com
monplace enongh affoi r, and yet it
is al ways exciting-, and begins the
day w ith a nice bit of boat-hand
l ing, a sharp tiff for w i ndward po
sition, and is a sonl-stirring sight
generally. Just ahead of ns now,
a mile away, lies the Commodore's
boat, a couple of hundred yards
away from her a cat-boat at an
chor, w ith a h uge New York Yacht
Clnll flag flying from her single
stick, forms the other ernl of the
startiug - U ne. vYe are rnnning
down free with . the big sloops
and schooners, and every one is trying for a good posi
tion.
Boom !
Half past eight, and the preparatory gun sends out a
w hite puff from the flag-ship. We have ten minutes to
wnit, and a third gun is the signal for the sloops. They
are given fi ve minutes in which to cross the line, and then
another gnu is at the same time our signal, and the l i mit
with i n which the sloops' time can be taken. F i ve min
u tes later still the fourth gnn closes the first episode of
the day.
Boom !
The sloops are all clustered j ust above the line, and the
moment this gnn fires you can see sheets trimmed down
and a concerted movement i n the m idst of the medley of
sail as they all suddenly heel oiie way, and drive close
up to the flag-shi p at the windward end of the starting
line.
Meantime the schooners are d rawing near the line, and
are wandering around close together, waiting for the time
to pass. Four minutes more before our first gun. Three
minutes. Two m i nutes and a hal f- an d a quick com
mand from the Colonel trims all sheets down. Vivian
j nm ps to the w i nd, and makes a bee-line for the flag-ship.
'fhe question then is, have we timed ourselves correctly
to reach the line j ust before the gun fires, or shall we cross
a few seconds ahead?
One m inute and a half. A minute. Half a minute.
Now we are under full headway, rushing down on the
l ine. Not forty feet to leeward is the Alda. Just on our
weather quarter, so near that you could easily toss a line
to her, is Elda. A little ahead to the leeward Belma
is trying to cut u p to w indward across our bows, and
near her is still another schooner too close to- the line
it seems, while half a dozen more are within easy throw
i ng d istance, and yet they are all schooners at least eighty
feet in length, w i th light sails drawing exquisitely and
with every lee rail awash. It all happens in an i nstant,
der the water to let us clear the judge's boat. Then comes
the long beat to windward out to Block Island. Not a
w ord nor a suggestion goes up from the mouth of any one.
Noliody would be so fool ish as to address the commander
at such a time. We arc thrown at once into the strictest
discipline. Our host is no longer host. He is commander
and sailing-master, and what few words he speaks come
out quickly and sharply.
Again he tries h ugging the shore, and this time shows
his goorl j udgment, for as we draw towards the buoy off
Block Island it is plain that we are going to round it a
good bit ahead of the others. The sloop is around first,
and in an incredibly short time her sheet s are well ont,
her spinnaker set, and she is tearing along before the
wind on the second side of the i rregular t rinngle that
makes the course. One or two other sloops follow, and
then i t comes our turn-first of the schooners-to see how
quickly and how well we can get the big sails out.
The decks as w e draw u p to the buoy are covered w it h
mils and ropes i n apparent utter confosion, hut each m a n
knows his work. Forward one group h a s t h e balloon j i b
halyards ; another group amidships has the spinnaker
halyards; stil l another is ready with the on�ianl. As we
near the line up and out these sails go in stops, and t hen
every sailor is standing silently at some point along tlie
deck, w ith his eyes fixed o n the Colonel, . ready to haul
sheets home. J ust under the lee bow t he big red huoy
comes nearer and nearer, and the good boat heels down
to the wind, running along with her whole leeward rai l
foaming through the sea. In an instant we are on the
buoy, and, as the Colonel w inds the w heel over and Vivian's
head goes off, he cries,
" Heave away I"
Then come a few seconds of
work that remind y.ou of a 100-yard
dash. There is no time to breathe.
Booms go out to port,' light sail
sheets come in, and the next in
stant stops are b!'Oken, and Vivian
is again covered w i t h her enor
mous white duck suit. There is
a moment of suspense. W ill ev

And then a sigh o f relief goes over

I.
HE tramp is the h ungriest fellow in the world.
No matter who h e is, chausseegrabentapezi
rer, moocher, or hobo-his appetite is in varia
bly a most ravenous one. How he comes by
it is an open q ncstion even in his own mind.
Sometimes he accounts for it on the ground that he is
continually changing climate, and then aga i n attributes
it to his incessant loafing. A tramp once said to me:
" Cigarette, i t ain't work that makes blokes hungry;
it's bummin'. "
I think there is some truth in this. I know from per
sonal experience that no work has ever made me so h un
gry as simple idlin g ; and while on the road, I also had a
larger capacity for food than I usually have. Even riding
in a freight-train for a morning used to make me h ungry
enouo·h to eat two din ners, and yet there was almost no
worltabout it. And I feel safe in saying that the tramp
can usually eat nearly twice as much as the laboring-man
of ordinary appetite.
Now what does he find to satisfy this rapacious craving
after food ? Tl1ere are two famous
diets in vagabondage, called " the
hot " and '' the cold." Each one
has its supporters and propagandists. The · ' hot " is befriended
mainlv by the persevering and en
ergetic beggars, and the " cold "
belongs exclusively to the lazy and
u nsuccessful. The first is remark
able for what its champions call
" set-downs," that is to say, good
solid meals three times a day, and
oftener if necessary. The second
and as I had to associate with somebody, I began with
him. After a while I graduated out of their ranks, and
was i ni tiated into the · • set-down " class, but it was only
after a hard and severe training, which I would not go
through again, not even for the sake of sociology.
III.
As a rule, the " poke-out " beggar has but one meal a
day, and it is usually breakfast. 'fhis is the main meal
with all vagabonds, and even the lazy tramp makes fr;m
tic efforts to find it. Its quantity as well as its quality
depends largely on the kind of house he visi t s. His usual
breakfast, if he is fairly lucky, consists of coffee, a little
meat, some potatoes, and " punk an ' plaster," as lie calls
bread and butter. Coffee, more than anything else, is what
beggar, even the l azy one, starves to death in our country.
I know very well that people do not realize this, and that
they feed tramps regularly, laboring under the delusion
that i t is only humane to do so. But although the tram p
bates honest labor, he hates starvation still more, and if he
finds it impossible to find anything to eat, he will either
go to jail or work. He loves this world altogether . too
much voluntarily to explore another of which he knows
so little.
IV.
The clothes of the "poke-out " beggar are not m uch, if
any, better than his food. I n summer he seldom has more
than a shirt, a pair of t rousers, a coat, some old shoes, and
a battered hat. E ven i n winter be wears little more,
especially if he goes South. I have never seen h i111 w i th
u nder-clothes or socks, and an overcoat is something he
almost never .g ets hold of, unless he steals one, which is
by no means common.
While I lived with him I wore these same " togs. " I
shall never forget my first tramp suit of clothes. The
coat was patched in a dozen places, and was nearly three
sizes too large for m e ; the vest was torn in the back, and
had but two buttons; the t rousers were out at the knees,
and had to be turned up in London fashion at the bottom
to keep me from tripping ; the hat was au old DerbJ' with
the crown dented i n n umerous places; and the only decent
thing I bad was a flannel shirt. I purchased this rig of
an old Jew, and thought that it would be j ust the thing
for the road, and so it was, but only for the " poke-out "
tra111p's road. The hoboes laughed at me and called m e
" hoodoo," and I never got i n with them in any such garb.
Nevertheless, I wore it for nearly two months, and so long
as I associated with lazy beggars only, it was all right.
Many of them were never dressed so well, and not a few
envied me my old coat.
It is by no means uncommon to see a " poke-out "
v agabond wearing some sort of garment w hich belongs
to a woman's wardrobe. He is so indifferent that he will
wear anything that will shield bis nakedness, and I have
known him to be so lazy that h e did not even do that.
One old fellow I remember particularly. He had lost
h is shirt somehow, and for almost a week went about
with only a coat between his body and the world at large.
Some of h i s pals, although they were of his own class,
told him that he ou1tht to. find another one, and the more
he delayed it. the �more tliey labored with him. One
night they were all gathe1'€d together at a ' ' hang · out •··x
not far from Lima, Ohio, and the old fellow was told that
u n less h e found a shirt that night they would take away
his coat also. He begged and begged, but they were de
termined, and as he did not show any intention of doing
as he was bidden, they relieved h i m of his j acket. And
all that night and the following day he was actually so
lazy and stubborn that he would not yield, and would
probably be there still, in so\ne form or other, had his pals
not relented and returned him the coat. As I said, he
went for nearly a week without finding a shirt, and not
once did he show the least shame or embarrassment. Just
at present I understand that he is in l i mbo, wearing the
famous " zebra "--the penit.e ntiary dress. It is not pop11lar among tramps, and they 'seldom wear it, but I fed that
that old rascal, in spite of tile disgrace and inconvenience
that his confinement brings upon h i m , is tickled indeed
that he is,·n ot bound to find- his own clothes.
Such are the ' ' poke-ou t " tramps in every country where
I have st11died them, and such they will always be. They
are constit11tionally incapacitated for any successful ca
reer in v agabonda!!e, and the wonder is that they live at
all. Properly speaking they have no connection with the
real brotherhood, and I sho11ld not have referred to them
here, except that the public m i stakes them for the genuine
hoboes. They are not hoboes, and nothing angers the lat
ter so much as to be classed with them. The hobo is an
exceedingly proud fellow in l1is way, and if you want to
every man of his kind wants early in the
morning. After sleeping out-of-<;loors or
in a box-car, especially during the colder
months, he is stiff and chilled, and coffee

v.
Almost the first advice given me after I had managed
to creep into the " set - down " class came from an old
vagabond known among his cronies as Portland Fraxy.
He knew that I was but a short time on the road, and
that in many respects I had not met with the success
which was necessary to entitle me to respect among men
of bis class, but, nevertheless, he was willing to give me n
few " pointers," which, by-the-way, all hoboes are glad to
do if they feel that the recipient will turn them to profit.
I met Fraxy for the first time in Chicngo, and w hile we
were lounging on the grass in the Lake Front Park, the
following con versation took place:
" Cigarette, " he began-for I had already received my
tramp name-" how long 'v' ye been on the road ?"
I replied, " About two months. "
" \Vaal, how long d' ye 'spcct to stay there?"
" Oh, 's long 's I'm happy . "

sider his breakfast complete until he had had his usnal
piece of apple pie. And he actually had the " nerve " to
go to houses and ask for that alone. During our com
panionship, which lasted over a week, he failed but once
to get it, and then it was because he had to make a train.
The dinner is n more elaborate affair, and the tramp
must often visit a number of houses ere he finds the vari
ous dishes he desires. I remember well a hunt I lrnd
for a dinner in St. Louis. A Western tramp was my com
rade at the time, and we had both decided upon our bill
of fare. He wanted meat and potatoes, " punk 'n' plas
ter," some kind of dessert (pudding preferred), and three
cups of coffee. I wanted the same things minus the des
sert, and I had to visit fifteen houses ere my appetite was
satisfied. But, as my companion said, the point is that I
finally got my dinner. He too was successful, even to
the kind of pudding he wished.
Not all tramps are so particular as my ·western pal, but
they must have the " sulJstanshuls " (meat and potatoes
and bread - and - lluttcr) anyhow. Unless they get t hem
they are mad, and scold everything and everybody. I
once knew a vagabond to call clown all sorts of plagues
and miseries on a certain house because he could not get
enough potatoes there. He prnyed that it might be cursed
with small-pox, all the fevers that he knew, and every
loathsome disease-and he meant it, too.
There arc a large number of ho\Jocs who occasionally
take their dinners i n the form of what they call '' the
made-to-order-scaff." It is something they h ave i_n vented
themselves, and for many reasoos is their happiest meal.
It takes place at the hang-out, and a more appropriate
environment could not be found. WJ1en the scaff is on

I replied that I was still undecided, since I had not yet
l earned whether I could mnke a success 011 the road or
not, but added that my inclination would be toward the
'' arteest " class.
" That's right," he began afresh. " Be an arteest or

I did, and it helped me as much as anything else i n
getting in with the real hoboes. And for s i x o f the eight
months during which I sojourned in vagabondage I l ived
with them entirely, and feel abundantly qualified to de
scribe their diet and dress.
VI.
In the first place, they cat three good warm meals every
day - breakfast from seven to eight o'clock, dinner at
twelve, and supper .at six. These are the ' ' set-downs "*
i n tramp life, and it is the duty of every " professional "
to find tllem regularly. The breakfast is very similar to
the " poke - out " tram p's brenkfast, the main additions
being oatmeal and " pancakes," if the beggar is willing to
look for them. They can IJe found with a l ittle persever
ance. There are also some hoboes who want pie for
breakfast, and they have it almost constantly. I once
travelled w ith a i'l'Iaine tramp who simply would not con• In Germany and England the trnmps usually eat their " set

to pay for them, rather than look for them at privat.e houses.
the programme the vagabonds gather together and decide
who shall beg the meat, the potatoes, the onions, t he
corn, the bread-and-butter, the tea and coffee, and the des
serts, if they are procurable. Then each one starts out
on his separate errand, and if all goes well they return be
fore long and hand their wionings over to the cook. This
official, meanwhile, has collected the firewood and the old
tin cans for frying and boiling the food. While the meal
is cooking the tramps sit around the fire on the stolen
railway ties and compare jokes and experiences. Pretty
soon dinner is announced, and they IJegin. They have
no forks and often no knives, llut that does not matter.
" Fiogers were made before forks. "
Sometimes they sharpen little sticks and use them,
but fingers are more popular, The table manners of
the Eskimos compare favorably with those of these pic
nicking hoboes, and I have often seen a tramp eat meat
io a way that would bring a dusky blush to the cheek of
the primeval Alaskan . It is remarkable, h owever, that
no matter how carelessly they may eat their food, they
seldom have dyspepsia. I have known only a few cases,
aud even then the sufferers were easily cured.
Supper is seldom much of a meal among hoboes, and
mainly because it has to be looked for, during a large part
of the year, j ust about dark, the time when the hobo is
either preparing his night's hang-out, or making arrange
ments for his night's journey, and the h unt for supper
often occasions u npleasant delays. But he nevertheless
looks for it if he can possibly spare the time. He con
siders it his bounden duty to eat regularly, and feels
ashamed if he neglects to do it. I have seen h i m scold
himself for an hour j ust because he failed to get a meal
at t!Je proper time, although he renlly did not care for it.
Boheminn that he is, he still respects times and seasons,
which is the more surprising since in other matters he is
as reckless as a fool. In quarrels, for example, he regards
neither sense nor custom, and has his own private point
of view every time. But at the very moment that be is
plnnning some senseless and u seless fight, he will look for
a meal as conscientiously as the laborer works for one,
although he may not need it.
For supper be usually has j ust about what other people
have-potatoes (usually fried) and beefsteak, tea or coffee,
bread - an d - butter, and some kind of sauce. For three
months of my time on the road I had almost exactly t his
756
bill of fare, and uecame so accustomed to it that I was
considerably surprised if I found anything else. I men
tion these various items to show how closely the tramp's
" hot diet " resembles that of most people. A great mis
take is made in thinking that these meu as a class have to
eat things both uncommon and peculiar. Some of them
do, hut nil of the " set-downers " eat just about what the
respectable and worthy portion of the comtnunity eats.
In Pennsylvanin, " the fattenin'-up State,"·X- or P. A . , as
the hollo calls it, apple-butter is his chief delicacy. I
have seen him put it on his brearl, meat, and potatoes,
and one beggar thnt I knew wanted it " raw. " I linp
pened to be w i th this man one afternoon in the town of
Bethlehem, and while we were sitting on a little bridge
crossing the canal on the outskirts of the town, a Penn
sylvania Dutchman hove in sight_ My pal, being a beg
gar who liked to improve every opportunity, immediatclv
•
said to me, in a professional sort of voice,
" Keep quiet, Cig, 'n' I'll tackle 'im."
The man soon passed us, and the beggar followed. He
caught up with him i n a moment. anrl as I had also fol
lowed, I mnnaged to overhear a part of tile conversation.
It was something like this:
'' I say, boss, can cher gimme the price of a meal?"
" Nein, dat kann ich nit."
" Vi7 ell, can ye take me home 'n' feed me?"
" Nein.''
" Well, sny ; can cher gimme a cigar?"
" Nein "-in madness.
" Well, say," aud he put his arm affectionately on the
Dutchman's shoulder, " let's go 'n' have a drink. Eh?"
" Nein . "
' ' Well, you ole hoosier, you, can y e gimme some apple
butter?"
Even the Dut.chmnn laughed, but he said " No. "
" Well, go home, then, you ole fool, you , " said the
t ramp.
Besides the three meals which every h obo has regularly,
there are also two or three lunches a day, which are in
cluded in the " hot diet," although they practically belong
to the cold one. The first is taken in the morning alJout
ten o'clock, and is begged at breakfast-time, the second
about three or four o'clock, and the third late in the even
ing. Not al l hoboes eat these between-meal " snacks, "
but the majority beg them at any rate, and if they do not
need them, they either throw them away or give them to
some deserving person, often enough a seeker of work.
For alt.hough the tramp hates labor, he does not hate the
true laborer, and if he can ever help him along, he docs it
willingly. He knows only too well that it is mainly the
laboring-man off whom he l ives, and that it is well to do
him a good turn whenever possible. Then, too, the hobo
is a generous fellow, no mat,ter what else lie is, and is al
ways willing to share his winnings with any one he really
l i kes. With the " gay cat " and the " poke-outer " he will
have nothing to do, but with the criminal, his own pals,
and the working-mnn he is always on good terms, unless
they repel his overtures.
As a good many tramps spend considerable t ime in
jails, it seems nppropriate to tell what they eat. there too. .
Their life in l i111llo i s very often voluntary, for although
the majority Glf clever hohocs go Sou t h in winter, there
are others who prefer a jail in the North, and so whatever
hardship t hey encounter is mainly of their own choos
ing . And since some of them do choose j ail fare, it is
evident that those pnrt.icular beggars find it less dirngree
nble than winter life " outside," either North or South.
The usual food in these places is bread, molasses, and
coffee in the morning, some sort of thick soup or meat
and potatoes w i t h llread for dinner, and bread and. molas
ses and. tea for supper. There is generally plenty, also,
and although I have often heard the tramps grumble, it
was mainly because they had nothing else to clo. Con
finement in county prisons, although it hns its d iversions,
tends to make n rnnn captious nnd irritable, and t.he tramp
is 110 exception to this. Occasionally he gets into a jail
where only two meals a day are given, and he must then
exercise h is fortitude. He never intends to be in such u
place, but mistakes will happen even in vagabondage, and
it is most interesting to see how the tramp gets out of them
or endures them. He usually grits his teeth and " prom
ises never to do it again "; and considering his self- indul
gent nature, I think he stands suffering remarkallly well.
VII.
What the " hot-diet " tramp wears is another matter,
hut a not vastly different one. His ambition, although h e
does not always achieve it, i s to have n e w " togs " quite as
regularly as the man who IJuys them with hard cash. He
also tries to keep up with the fashions nod. seasons as
closely as possible.
But all this must naturally lie regulated by the charity
o f the community in which h e happens to be. If he is
near some college, and knows how to beg of the students.
he can usually find just whnt and nbout all he needs, but
if he is in a country district where clothes are worn down to
the thread, he is in bad case. As a rule. however, he dresses
nearly as well as the day-laborer, and sometimes far bet
ter. There are tramps of this type in New York and
Chicago whose dress is almost identical with that of t he
majority of the men one meets in the streets, and to dis
tinguish them from the crowd requires an eye able to
read their faces rather than their coats. Such men never
allow their clothes to wear beyond a certain point before
begging n fresh supply. And if they are careful , and do
not ride in freight-trains very much, a suit will last them
several months, for they understand remarkably well how
to take care of it. Every tramp of this order and grade
carries a brush inside his coat pocket, and uses it on the
slightest provocation. On the road I al,o acquired this
liabit of brushing my clothes as often as they showed the
slightest soil. It is a trick of the trnde, and saves not only
the clothes, but the self-respect of the llrotherhood.
Dark clothes are the most popular, because they keep
clean, or at least appear so, for the longest time. I once
wore a suit of this kind for nearly three months, and al
though I used it rather roughly, it was so good at the encl
of that time that I traded it to a tramp for a coat and
vest almost new. The way to make sure of having a

generally attached one-or more pieces of tin kitchen-ware
that John carries home as souvenirs of America, is taken ·
from them as they near the gangway, and slid down a
Jon!!,' plank into a yawning opening in the steamer's side.
As the uewildered owners anxiously watch it disappear,
or perhaps make futile attempts to follow it, they are
roughly shoved aside, and soon fi nd themselves irresisti
bly drawn into a slow-moving, perspiring stream of their
fellows, who are being gradually ausorued into a series of
railed cnclosmes resembling sheep-pens. Each of these
contains a taule, at which are seated men of judicial as
pect providccl with blank books, and papers printed in
both English and Chinese characters. A n umber of these
men are Chinese representatives of the Six Companies,
who are on hand to see that the would-be traveller does
not leave the country without having paid the various
assessments to which he is liable, as well as all debts
owed to his fellow-conntrymen.
Long ere this, John has accumulated, from one source
or another, a great number of papers, protective and re
strictive, perhaps certificates of baptism, marriage, vacci
nation, and moral character, or their Chinese equivalents,
and at the various tables one or more of these are demanded
for inspection. In each case the bewildered victim of red
tape hands over the lot, as much as to say : " There they
are, gentlemen ; take your choice. It's all one to, me."
The pens are connected by little alleys, barely wide enough
for one person to pass through at a time, and after ueing
hustled t hrough a succession of these; John finally reaches
the most angust tribunal of all, two \vhite men in blue uni
forms and brass buttons, who, with their official interpreter,
represent the United States government. To these po
tentates the suspected individual-for all Chinamen are
suspected of something-makes a humble surrender of
his entire stock of documents, all of which save one are
scornfully ignored. By this one he is either proved to
have a legal existence or not to be himself at all; for, be
sides an attached photograph, which rarely looks the least
like him, it contains a minute description of his personal
appearance. This is slowly read, item by item, while its
corresponding features are identified hy ouservation.
At Jeno-th even this ordeal is safely passed, and with a
great sigh of relief, thrusting bis crumpled bundle of papers
into an innermost recess of his garments as he goes, John
starts gayly up the gang-plank, only to be halted when
half-way to the vessel by another official, who demands
his ticket. Of comse this has ueen entirely forgotten
amid the many anxieties of the past hour, and must now
be searched for with feverish trepidation. Ont come all
the certificates and other documents, but this new and
most inflexible representative of dreaded authority will
have none of them. A ticket only will satisfy him.
When at length the ticket is discovered and produced,
and John finds himself really on board the ship, he stands
gasping for a moment, ,in a daze, much like an animal
long caged and unexpe�tedly set free. Then some one
shoves him out of the way, and, awakening to bis sur
roundings, he dives below, where on the main-deck he
finds a great pile of luggage surrounded by a swarm of
his follow ulue-blouses, each of whom is striving to locate
his per�onal belongings, and recover them from the appar
ently inextricaule tangle. By-and-by even this is accom
plished, and, solaced by a cigarette, John sits him down
to watch with a saturnine grin the trials of those who are
still undergoing what he has just undergone.
On the wharf, threading back and forth through the
throng, he sees shrewd-faced Chinamen, who keep up an
incessant jingling of handfuls of silver dollars. These
are brokers, who will excliange thirty-two Mexican dol
lars for thirty of the United States variety. As uoth pass
at their par value in Chi_na, John reflects that by neglect
ing this opportunity he is throwiug away at least twenty
dollars, and hastens to regain the wharf in order to cor
rect this oversight. He is frustrated in this endeavor by
stony-hearted officials, who sternly order him back ; and
thus he discovers that while it was difficult to board the
ship, it is infinitely more so to leave her. So he is com
pelled to hire one of the Chinese steerage stewards, whose
badge of office, in the shape of a white apron, enaules him
to pass freely to and fro, to effect the desired exchange for
him, and by this transaction his business relations with
the Western world are terminated.
At the upper encl of the wharf, in the vicinity of the
main gangway, is a far different scene, though one of
equal interest and bustling activity. · Carriages are con
tinually dashing up and departing. Fi·om them alight
slim Japanese ladies and gentleme1;1 dressed in the very
latest Parisian styles, swarthy East Indians suggestive of
princes travelling incog. , globe-trotters in deer-stalker hel
mets, new and nervous attaches of legation venturing in
u ntried paths, veteran diplomats return in� to familiar posts
of dnty, naval officers ordered to the Asiatic st.ation, rnis
siouaries who hold farewell prayer-meetings, tuneful and
tearful, i n secluded corners of the snowy promc11ade
dcck, and, deftly slipping through the restless crowds,
dozens of trig little Japanese stewards uearing boxes, bags,
rugs, chairs, and other paraphernalia of ocean travel.
A sudden bmst of color, a rustle of soft silks, and a
murmur of polite voices proclaim the presence of some
home-retu rning Cl!inese ma11darin of high rank. with his
gorgeous retinue, and the equally brilliant company of
resident officials or wealthy merchants who have come
to pay their farewell respects. Each of 1 hcse, when ad
dressed uy another, bows with a fixed smile, shakes his
own hands most cordially, and replies in courtly phrase.
Besides the richness and bca11ty of the silken vestments
worn by these high-caste Chinese, their round visorless
caps are decorated w ith a bewi ldering variety of uuttons,
and their skirts are adorned with exqnisilely embroidered
devices that are meaningless to the u ninitiated spectator,
until he is told that they are indicative of rank and social
position.
Th11s a mandarin of the first rank is entitled to wear a
coral-red button, while the secoud rank is indicated by
one of crimson, the third uy light blue, the fourth by dark
blne, the fi fth by a button of crystal. the sixth uy one of
opaque while, tlie seventh uy one of yellow, etc. So in
the embroidery on oflkial robes a uird design is typical of
a civil _position, and an animal design of a m ilitary officer.
In these designs the civil' list observes t he following order
of precedence: First in rank comes a l\Ianchoorian crnne;
second, a golden pheasant ; third, a peacock ; fo111th, a
wild-goose ; fi fth, a silver pheasant ; six th, a young egret;
seventh, a quail; eighth, a long-tailed j ay; and ninth, an
oriole. The animals signifying milit ary rnnk in the order
named are a u nicorn, lion, leopard, tiger, ulack bear, wild
cat, mottled bear, seal, and rhinoceros. If these can be
remembered, the interest in watching a group of Chinese
officials is greatly enhanced.
At length the hour for sailing arrives, and with it comes
the concluding ceremony of departure. All the Chinese
on the wharf, always including a number of bareheaded
women with hair drawn smoothly down over temples and
ears, gather at its outer end. From here, as the bow of
the great ship moves slowly past; they toss into the air
quantities of thin brown paper, cut.into three-inch squares,
and each bearing a central square of gold or silver tinsel.
From the ship's deck the departing Chinese voyagers also
scatter to the winds bushels of these money �ymbols,
until the vessel is wellnigh b idden from view by the flut
tering; glinting clond. These offerings are propi1 iatory
of the Storm Devil, and it is hoped that they will pur
chase from him a safe passage over his ocean domain.

As I looked something far back in the darkness seemed to
move. I started. I rubbed my eyes. Yes, something
pid move. It was something gray, something undistin
guishable in the dim gray light. But it stirred, it moved
-it was coming!
For the moment I was paralyzed. It was ali ve; but what
living thing could there be in that place? I trem\Jled in
e very l i m· b as I stood staring stupidly at the moving
darkness before me. At first I could hear nothing but
the loud b�ating of my heart. Then as I listened there
came a soft thud, thud, and t hen a scratching sound came
t.o me out of the darkness. I thought of the scratches ou
the ice path, and then iu a moment I knew. It was a IJear."
I turned and ran for the entrance.
. In a moment I had reacl.led it, yet as I paused an in
stant to make sure o! the downward patll I seemed to
J1ear close ·behind me again the soft thud of that heavy
foot. I didn't look back. I sprang hastily down the ledge
of ice, and again I was in the valley. I glanced round to
see where . I should go. Before me was the slope by w hich
I had come down, but instinctively I felt that I had no
time · to climb it again. I cast one terror-struck glance
round me, and my eye caught the bright flash of the sun
on the blue water at the end of the gorge. I had no time
to think or to reason-barely time enough to turn and 2·un.
As I turned there came a low savage growl ; it was not
very loud, but somehow it made tnY blood rnn cold, and
again I heard on the ice behind me the soft heavy thud,
thud, of the footstep that followed. I didn't dare to look
behind ; I only drew one long breath and sprang forward.
Fortunately the way was smooth. I was a good runner,
and now, if ever, I did my best. The little gorge through
w h ich the melted snow had reached the sea could not have
been more than six hunµred yards off, and I dashed into
and through it w ithout a thought of what there might be
beyond. Fear, overpowering fear, had gripped me and
held me fast; and still as I ran the same strange sicken
ing thud, thud, followed w ith its soft maddening per
sistency.
The ice sloped rapidly through the gorge, and I leaped
rather than ran from ledge to ledge over which the stream
of melting snow had smoothed the path. Before me, and
still far below, there was only the !lashing of the blue ocean ;
on either side the ice walls rose steep and inaccessil.lle ; be
hind came t.he soft heavy footfall of the pursuer. Sud
denly the gorge ended. The ice walls broke off i n sharp
crystal precipices. The stream fell in a succession of
leaps over the ice cliff into the ocean below. By a su
preme effort I checked the speed of my headlong descent
before it was-too late. Involuntarily, and for the first time,
I looked behind me. I had been right. Above me, and
perhaps thirty yards behind, was the bear. H11ge, white,
shaggy, with great red jaws that ga(led partly open and
showed white fangs that glittered in the sun-J·ed eyes
that glared hungrily down upon me-he came on with a
l1eavy unwieldy trot. He carried his head low, and his
neck stretched out in front. I could hear each footfall
on the ice as it fell, soft, yet . ponderous. It was only for
one moment that I looked. In one thing I had !Jeen mis
taken-the sight of my danger didn't paralyze me as I
had expected, but for the moment seemed to render every
sense more acute. To go back was impossible. To stop
was death. To go on was to he dashed to pieces on the
ice cliffs over which the stream was falling w itll a musi
cal roar.
At that moment my eye caup;ht sight of what looked
like a path, turning from the end of the gorge and running
along the precipitous face of t.he cliff. In moments of
extremity thought is rapid, or perhaps it is impulse that
takes its place. Without a moment's hesitation I followed
the path. It was only a ledge of ice jutting 011t from the
cliff, and even at first not more than four feet wide, and it
sloped clown and at t.he same t ime a little outward, so that
I had to use my staff to keep mysel f from falling over the
precipice. At any other time I should have been over
come by giddiness, for at my very feet, though far below,
I could see the ocean glit,tering in the sunlight. Was I
followe,i st ill ? I dared not look behind, and I could no
longer distinguish the sound of his tread, yet, somehow, I
felt s11rc he was following. I pressed on. Every thought
was concentrated on the effort to escape ; e very sense
sti-ained to the u tmost to avoid the dangers of my un
known path. Suddenly the path seemed to end. There
was a sharp angle, and before me there rose only the gray
blue wall of spark ling ice.
My ledge had grown narrower; it could hardly have been
more than three feet wide now. Did it continue beyond
t.Iie corner? Fur a_ 1].10ment I hesitated. Again there
came the deep, low, savage growl I had !ward before.
The bear was behind me still, and not far off. I drove
the sharp point of my staff into a crack at the outer edge
of my path and p11t my foot round the corner. The
ledge- was there still ! As I stood I seemed to overhang
the sea. 'l'he flash and sparkle of the distant watet· came
up to me as I cautiously drew myself round and stood
ori the path beyond. It had undergone no change, but
ran downwards along the face of the cliff as before. I
followed it, but with greater caution, for it was slippery.
I-lifted my eyes from the path for an instant. and there,
in front of me, there, with loose hanginp; sails and deli
cate tracery of masts and rigging, lay our brig almost at
my feet. I could see the deck , the boats, even tlrn sailors
as tliey looked over the side, or leant lazily against the
bulwarks. ' I shouted. For the first time since I had rec
ognized my position of danger the idea of help dawned
upon my· mind. It was hardly a shout, but rather a
s<;renm, for I could hear it echoed back, wild and shrill,
from the ice cliff overhead. They heard ! I could see a
sa_ilor lift bis head and look u pwan;ls, then another, anrl
another. They moved ; I could ·fancy they spoke to each
o�her. My cry was echoed by another growl , fiercer,
nearer, more savage than before. There was no time to
pause. I hurried on.
The path was growing narrower. From three feet it
had shrunk to two. Bnt for my staff. I could hardly have
kept. my 'feet. · A few yards moi:e and it grew narrower
yet. Was it going to stop ? I didn't dare to pause ; I
clldn't venture to lift my eyes frorri the narrow and now
sfippery ledge. I listenert eagerly as I went, but still· I
h urried on. Narrower and narrower. Step by step it
seemed to push m e closer to the overhanging cliff. I
looked on to see how soon it would fail me altogethi,r. My
heart gave one wild leap and then stood still-the encl
hitd come. A few yards ·before me the path seemed to
shriuk almost to nothing, and beyond was what looked
like a little platform upon which the precipice closed in
on every side.
At least I would reach that platform. By an effort I
piloted myself along the narrow track ; by an effort I
reaclied the platf_o rm at last. I had IJeen r:ght! There
was no escape from this. I had suddenly grown strnnge
ly calm. I looked behind for my pursuer. He was fol
lowing still. Slowly, cautiously, step by step, he was feel
ing his way along tlwt narrow track. His huge pa"·s felt
the path carefully before h i m; his bloodshot eyes glared
out at me from their tangle of white hair; his huge t eeth
and crilllson jaws threatened me as he came slowlv on.
A sho11t came u p from below. I looked down once
more. It came· from the sailors. They had lowered a
boat and were pulling towards the iceberg. The shout,
came up again. I caught a single word. The word was
' ' help !" I looked back again at the bear. · He was nearer
now. Step by step he crept on still. Slowly, cant. io11sly,
relentlessly as fate. He wasn't twenty yards off now.
His hnge body was pressed against the ice wall. H is
h nge claws were e xtended and gripped the ledge like
1.Jands of steel ; 1.Jelow, the blue waves danced and laughed
in the s11nshine.
Ten yards off ! He didn't growl now ; h e only glared
at me with eyes that seemed at each step to grow larger
and more deadly as they fixed me with tltat 'lrnrrible stare.
I began to fancy I could feel his breath co,nit,g, hot and
fetid, in long, slow, gasping breaths. Little by little the
ten yards were diminishing. He seemed to be almost
u pon me. His fixed stare seemed to fascinate me ; his
slow, gasping breathing felt as if it would choke me.
He had reached the n arrowest part of ti.le ledge at last.
He eyed it suspiciously; he advanced one huge paw, and
felt it with hesitation. Then he seemed to make up his
m i nd. Once more he came on. That moment of hesita
tion saved me. I looked at the slender rib of ice ; I looked
at the huge u n w ieldy body of tlie savage beast. It was
all he could do to walk 011 it. It seemed almost more
than he could do to keep his balance. I grasped my staff
w ith a firmer gdp ; I l ifted and shook it in the air. As a
weapon against such an enemy it seemed feeble enough
and yet-and yet' I had listened to many a story of the
feats performed i n the history of old New Zealand with
just such a Maori " taiaha " as this. It was weighty,
yet easily handled ; its edges were sharp to strike ; its
point keen to thrust. Yes, and above all, it was for life. ·
I grasped the ' ' taiaha " in both hands and shook it de
fiantly over my head. The bear paused for a moment
and eyed me. Then h e slowly put out a paw and made
another step. I watched him silently. W here I stood I
had plenty of room. My platform, smnll as it was, gave
me space enough in which to u�e my weapon w ithout
risk of overbal ancing myself. The bear made another
step. He was almost w ithin reach. I made a stroke at
him with the taiaha. It fell short, but he paused again.
Then he opened his huge month and gave a growl-a
growl so fierce, so deadly. so in tense that the great drops
of perspiration started · tc my brow.
He made another step. By a sudden impulse I jumped
forward to the very edge of my platform and drove t h e
sharp point of m y weapon with a l l my force into h is face.
It must have entered his eye. I felt him recoil w ith a
snarl a$ sudden and as fierce as that of an inj nred dog,
I.Jut ten times more menacing. In an instant I had re
covered my weapon, and I was only j nst in time. Like
a flash the great jaws snapped at it, the glittering fangs
clashed together within an inch of the blade.
He shook his head impatiently. Then he gave a deep
sullen roar that made the ice cliffs ring and tingle again.
Then he took another step forward. It was a terrible mo
ment. He had lowered his head, but I could see great
drops of blood falling, drip, drip, on the ice as he moved.
The path had shrunk almost to its narrowest point, and
it appeared scai·cely possible for h im to advance. At each
step he had to lift one foot carefully past the other before
he could move his body.
Another step. Only one more, and he could plant a
foot on my platform ! My head swa.m dizzily, the drops
on my brow felt deadly cold, bnt my brain seemed to be
on fire. Slowly he lifted his foot-it was the one nearest
the cliff-from the ledge. Slowly he pushed it forward
between the precipice and the other leg, balancing him
sel f carefully as he did so. I watched him w ith my staff
lifted to strike. I knew that it was my last chance. I
felt that the moment had come. It was now or never.
Then, by an irresistible impulse, I struck-struck fiercely.
and with all my might-struck at the foot which grasped
the very edge of the ice path w·itll great claws that looked
·
as if cast in steel.
I felt it strike. I saw the muscles of the huge foot shrink
and quiver; I saw the great claws for one moment with
drawn. The bear swayed heavily forward. His jaws fel l
together with a loud rasping clash. His b ead almost
touched my foot, w h ich was advanced to the edge of the
platform. on wliich I stood, and then, w ith a fierce, al
most a despairing, growl-then-could I bi)j'ieve my eyes?
-he fel l !
I staggered back a step ; I leaned giddjly against the
ice wall. Everything seemed t.o be whirling round before
my eyes, yet I could see the sunlip;ht flashing on the dan
cing water belo w ; I could even dimly make out the sailors
standing up in the boat. A voice came up to me-a voice
that was loud, sharp ,' and commanding: " Jump, your.g
ster! For God's sake, jump!" I had j ust sense enough
left to u nderstand the order ; I hadn't enough left to try
to comprehend why it was given. I made one step for
ward and jumped. I felt myself falling-it was the last
thine: I felt.
It~was . a voice that awoke me. I moved. I put out
my hand feebly. It touched something familiar-it was
the edge of my bunk. By a great effort I managed to
turn my face outwards. Yes, I was in my own cabin. A
bright band of sunshine was streamiug through the port
hole and fell on a great heap of something white and
shaggy that lay in the corner. I tried to raise mysel f i n
the bunk, but found that I had not the strength t o do
more than feebly move m y head. Perhaps I may have
made some sound in the attempt, for I could hear a move
ment outside, nnd the door was opened softly. It was the
captain's broad figure that appeared i n the doorway-it
was the captai n's jovial face that broke iQto a p leasant
smile as he looked at me.
" Thank · God !" h e said, " my lad, that you've come to
at last ! You've had a longish spell of it, too ; but, any
how, we've got the skiq for you to remember him by."

in the country. It was here that, nearly two
centuries ago, the representatives of the East
India Company of merchant adventmers
.
bought a strip of the coast six mi les long by one 1,road ,
on which t o establish their factory, for a n annual pay ment
of six hundred pounds t o the R.aj,1h of Chandergiri, who
at the time owned the district. It was here that, nearly
fifty years later, the lad sat eating ont h is heart at a clerk 's
desk who was destined, as Robert Clive, to lay deep and
broad the foundations of tliat Indian supremacy for liis
countrf w h ich has been at once t.he wonder and envy of
so many other European nations since b is time.
The �adras of to-day is a great political and commer
cial ce1+tre, to whicl.l the exigencies of a great inland pop
� lation· have drawn a commerce altogether out of propor
twn to the natural advantages of the place. The hnrbor
is natui·ally no better than an open roadstead. There is a
brealrnihter partly constructed to replace one swept awny
by a h �'rricane some ten years ago, but even w hen co111pleted this w-ill make but a very i n ferior harbor of Madras.
AlthQugh built on flat laud, :Madras is a fine city. I t is
divide<.! really into three sections-the government, whi<"h
adjoins' the. shore where the formation of the city was
begun by the trading st. rangers ; t he native town, in which
are the bazars and places of business as well as the dwell
ing-places of the great mass of the inhahitants; and the
European quarter, where t. he foreign residents live.
· Perliaps the most striking feature in the streets of all
these Irdia.n cities, from the point of view of Western
strangers, is the comparative absence of all kinds of ve
hicles from the streets. There is no sidewalk, and 110
apparent occasion for one, as the street is filled with a
crowd of human beings on foot, with only here and there
a vehicle of any kind. This applies mainly to the old or
native town, as shown in the illustration. Europeans sel
dom in�lulge _ in walking exercise, and private carriages, a s
well as pul.>hc con veyances for hire. are numerous m tl,e
aristocratic, which of course means the Europeau q uarter
of the city.
The government buildings of the city are large and im
posing, and usually stand surrounded, like the private
dwellings of the governing race, by large and beauti fully
hlid out grounds ; indeed, their extent and costliness are
apt to surprise one at first, until it is remem IJered that
l\'Iadnfa is the centre of law and government for a country
of 150. 000 square m iles in extent, with a populatiou of
more than thirty-five millions of iulmhitants.
HYDERABAD.
A train journey of about three h undred and fi fty miles
from Madras bi ought us to Hyderal.>ad, the capital of the
protected native state of the same name, ruled over by
the Nizam of H Yderabad. We now found ourselves for
the first time on ·Indian soil that is still under native gov
ernment. The government is a curious compromise be
tween the ideas of t he despotic East and the customs of
the West. The Nizam rules, indeed, with all the pomp
and pageantry of cld times. He has his guard and his
standing army, his palaces, his courts. and all the outward
trappings of the old sovereignty, !Jut lie exercises it n i l
under inspection which is not the less real because i t is so
quietly e xercised. The Nizam and his prime minister
govern, indeed, but it is the power that is represented by
the Resident, who represents the Governor - General and
Council at Calcutta. and the Secretary of State for India
at Westminster, who, as the power behind the throne,
really rules.
· Hyderabad is a city containing a population of about
three h undred and fifty thousand inhabitants, and has a
bad reputation throughout India for the turbulence of its
people. Violence and bloodshed are common things, even
in the streets of the capital-a state of things which arises
from the fact that the large majority of the people are
Hindoos, wllile the governing class is entirely J\fobammc
dan. • With these internal affairs, however, the Brit ish
Resident does not i nt erfere, h is concern bei ng chiefly with
the political relations of the Nizam's government and that
of Calcutta. The streets are wide, and, for an Eastern
native city, clean, and equipped with many of the appli
ances of modern civilizntirin . Its sidewalks and gas-lamps
have rather a singular effect, and have an incongrnous
look to Western eyes in connection with the population,
either walking or riding ou donkeys or elephants. wl)ith
occupies the streets to the exclusion of ti.le vehicles \ to
wh ich we are accustomed.
The finest architecture has been lavished upon the
mosques, one of wh ich especially-that of Afgul Amri-is
among the finest in the whole of India. The palace of the
Nizam, standing in the famous gardens, forllling almost a
quarter of the city by themselves, is, for an Indian palace,
by no means an imposing building, hut there is said to be
throughout India hardly so line a garden as that w hich
snrropnds it. The greater part of this is open to the pulJ
lic, and forms a superb public recreation place. The
wealth of flowers, of every conceivable form and color,
is only equalled by t h e skill and tast e wh ich :ire expended
in their distribution nnd lllanagement. A ln rge proportion
of the plants and shrubs r,re in pots ; ind,·ed, t here are
said to be not less than six millions of potted plants i n the
gardens, all of which are the subjects of daily waterings,
which employ an army of gardeners and laborers. The
wate1' is partly distributed by i rrigation, the somewhat
primitive arrnngements for which are shown in our illns
trntiqn. All defects of this kind, however, are easily got
over by the employment of additional laborers, and the
result is that we carry away w ith. u s the impression that
no more beautiful spot is to he found on earth than the
N·i,zam's gardens at Hyderabad.

any one m ight find w i t h sentiments that he

casion to complain that he failed to make
l 1imself understood. or cloaked his convic

declare that " bike and electrocute are ahont
the worst travesties 011 words that ever were

I n a letter to the Sun, Miss Beatrice Har
raden corrects a statement that she had re
ceived a honorarium of five hundred dollars
from an American publisher on 11ccoun, of
Ships that Pass in the Night. She says that
sl1c received one hu ndred pounds for that
book in England, and that oue hundred and
fifty dollars was paid her by an American
publisher to secure her later volume of short
stories, so that six hundred and fifty dollars
represents the total cash returns that came

June 13th was the hundredth anni versary
of Thomas Arnold, of Rugby, who was born
in 1795, and died forty-seven years later on
the day before h is birthday. At t he fi ftieth
anniversary of his den.th it was decided to
put Ids bust i n Westminster Abbey, and a
place was assigned t o it next to the monu
ments of John Keble and ,vordsworth, but
the memorial has not yet beeu set up.
The strong feeling shown i n opposition to
the execmion of Maria Barberi has been
promptly interpreted by all opponents of
capital punishment as the expression of an
tagonism to the infliction of the deat h-pen
alty in general. It will be i nteresting to see
if this conclusion is borne out by the devel
opments in the case of the man Holmes, who
. seems to have followed so long and with. such
success the joint industriC'S of insurance
swindling anti murder. If Holrnes is found
guilty of a fair proportion of the crimes of
which he is accused, objections to capital
punishment in his case w i l l be in order. If
they should happen not to be forth-coming
it will be reasonable to infer that it is not, so
much capital punishment in general that is
objected to as its infl iction in cases where it
does not seem to fit the crime.
The wife of James Corbett, prize-fighter,

exemplary gentleman he is not all that the
fancy painted at the ti me of his first appear
ance in the ring. When he began his fistic
career he was descrilJed as a bank _c lerk w ith
a t.a lent for the manly art, and as a person
exceptionally qualified to remove the im
pression that had gained strength during the
ascendency of John Sullivan that prize-fight
ing was a brutal and demoralizing business,
and that prize - fighters were apt not to be
n ice men. Corbett is nnt so brutal or so
drnnken as Sullivan. He has more sense
than the Boston champion, who, indeed, had
very little. But he seems to be progressing
to the bad in his own way w ith reasonable
celerity, and m ust be a disappointment to
those enthusiasts who would like us to be

That was a horrifying story the news
papers told last week of Mr. Rodman Wana

whole leg of mutton, a whole fowl, a whole
salmon, a whole basket of peaches, before
each guest; a magnu m of champagne for
each ; and a grab- bag full of costly orna
ments from which each guest drew a prize !
Twenty thousand dollars, the despatches say,
was the cost of Mr. Wanamaker's entertain
ment for twen_ty-two guests.
Let us decUne to believe that story until
the affidavits come. Mr. 1Vannn'rnker nrny
have given a <limier that was something of a
shock to French t-hrift, hut that · he should
h ave imagined that a lot of peopl,e who have
always had enough to eat could be impressed
or entertained by the sight of superfluous
masses of cooked food aud " lash ins " of
drink is not very credible. Somebody must
have lied about Mr. Wanamaker's d inner

Bishop Tugwell, of West Africa, lately
protested in a letter in the London 11imes
against the l iqnor traffic i n vVest Africa.
He described the demoralizing effect of al
coholic l iq uors, and especially of gin, the
liquor most commonly i u t roduced, u pon the
1Vest African negroes, and its bad effects
upon trade, lJecause of the preference of the
negroes for p:in over other commodi ties.
The bishop's statements, being corroborated
in the Times hy other correspondents, elicit
ed a rejoinder from the Bri 1 ish Governor of
La.gos. who asserted that the revenue from
t h e liquor traffic was necessary for the sup
port of the machinery of government in the
vYest African colonies. that the negroes
were not quite so drnnken as represent ed,
that the quality of Lagos gin was better
than the Bishop su pposed. 1111d that the rem
edy for the gin d isease was the spn·ad of
Mohammedanism, w ith its strong influence
in favor of abstinence. The Governor de
clared that the dinlcuhy of introducing
Christianity into West Africa was not due
to the sprearl of gin, but ' ' to the difficulties
and drnwl.Jacks of the Christian religion it
se�f from an African point of view, " aud
particularly to the prejudice of the mission
aries against polygamy. I-le averred, too,
that the Mohammedan negro is a much
cleaner, soberer, nud more dignified and self
respecting person than the Christian negro,
and altogether seemed to throw his i n fluence
in favor of e l i mi nating Christian mission
aries from West Africa and lei ting gin alone.
H is point of vkw hatl al.Jundant novelty to
recommend it, if nothing else ; but the idea
of fighting gin w i t h M oslernism seems not to
have impinged favornbly upon the Briti;h
m i nd. 'I' hP- T-imes speaks gloomily of it, and
says the West African liquor traffic is a
scandal, and oug-ht to be suppressed, wlwther
it y ields revenue or not.
D r. Doyle is very amiable in wlrnt he says
about his American tour, for though he arl
mits that_ pecuniarily speaking it was au iu
diffcreut speculation, he declares that he w as
very handsomely treated and had a good
time. He thinks, though, that as a lecture
field for English writers the United States
is not what it has been cracked up to he.
Very likely not ; and yet it is to he considered
that Dr. Doyle's stories, though so very popu
lar, were not especially adapted to i nterest
the public in their writer. The man the
readers of them were interested i n was not
D r. Doyle, but Sherlock Holmes, and their
interest even in Holmes was of a sort that
could be satisfied by reading.
It seems p robable that there i s a t present
no British l i 1 erary person for whom the
American lecture-field is now ripe. Tenny
son or Browning might have made money
here. People would have gone to look at
Tennyson, irrespective of a nything he had to
say, and the Browning cluhs would have
flocked to hear Browning. But while there
are many British men and women of letters
whom it would be advantageous to hear and
delightful to know, there is no one just now
of the dimensions necessary to the making
of a great popular spectacle. If Major Pond
could bring :Mr. Gladstone over and put h i m

encourage and develop playing material
is, therefore, in a way quite as needful to
the best success of polo as it is to foot
ball. That it should have taken polo
men u pwards of eighteen years to dis
cover what their athletic · school · days
should have taught them can be accouilt
ed for. only by assumiug they cared more
for their own fun than for the welfare of
the game. However, the turn does come
eventually even i n the longest lane. 'l'his·
year's play has drawn n telling object
lesson of what polo has missed in the
past and what benefits we may reason
ably expect in the future. The intro
duction of new men, even if not so skil
ful, has ·produced the results usual upon
the infusion of new blood. Au impetus
has been given the game generally-new
and better ponies, additional spectators,
and an awakening among some of the
veteran players that have found them
selves hard pressed by that very material
which they ignored but a year or so back.
I;!
R. L. AGASSIZ.
IF THE POLO SEASON OF 1895 had been concluded with
play for the Cedarhurst Challenge Cup, some ten days
n.go, there would be ample occasion for those interested
in the game to feel immensely encouraged over its Amer
ican progress. As n matter of fact, however, the season
is bnt half spent, !\nd the better part yet before us. The
present year of polo has marked the grentest improve
ment of nny previous one; indeed, I am much inclined to
believe the development of the cmrent season smpasses
tlmt of all preceding ones. Not that the ol<l players have
added so gren.tly to their skill-for, as a rule, they have
reached their limit nnd remain stationary on the handicap
list-but the second-raters hn.ve improved beyond recogni
tion. Last year, for the first time since polo obtained an
American foothold, the second-class men of the different
country clubs were encouraged to play. This spring one
or two of the clubs were obliged to depend on some of
the hitherto neglected material to fill vacancies on the first
team, and at least one of these teams, notably the Country
Club of Westchester, has shown no weakne·ss in conse
quence. Those of us who have welcomed each l ittle sign
as polo has grown and_ strengthened will have occasion
for genuine rejoicing now that the . clubs have finally
turned their attention to the game's most vital need.
To WITHIN THREE YEARS AGO polo pluy in the East
was, one may say with truth, practically confined to the
one or " first " team of the several clubs. Literally no ef
fort was made to encourage play among other members of
the club, and those i n whom the magnificent game aroused
the incliuation were effectually ignored. So unsports
manlike nnd thoroughly selfish an attitude appeared, un
fortunately, to be characteristic of too many of those
. closely identified with polo to hope for a. speedy or even
natural c-rowth. It need not be told here that tbe life of
every game depends on the continuous development of
11ew material. A combination of stars may and does fre.
quently <!arry n team to victory for several. successive sen.
sons, but the time comes, sooner or later, when recruits
nre required, and if not forth-coming; or if _unskilled, the
subsequent play of that club team is .much below what
has !Jeen regarded as its standard. To search out and
J. E. COWDIN.
BEGINNING WITH TIIE OPENING tour
nament, certainly no year has shown
general play that averaged so high, or
interest in matches so often sustained to
the end. Tbe higher average of the play
is explained by the liberal ion of the here
tofore suppressed second · raters - w!Jo
have not only greatly improved t!Jeir
own game, but implanted a rivalry that
will keep all plnyers on their mettle
and by the really very considerable im.
provement in ponies.
Faster ponies and more of them follow as n natural se. qucnce upon additional players and a livelier and wider .
int erest i n the game. But the ponies have outpaced the
players, · w!Jich is natural, too, considering that the pony of
to-day represents twenty years of endeavor, while it is a ·
short three years since the chosen few permitted Eastern .
polo to be taken up by the (comparatively) enthusiastic
many. None the less, the improvement of the ·polo J)ony ·
has been notable both in individual specimens and in ·

Railroad, where a team _- in Calgary; for instance - has
been so successful it is considered un beatnble. Tliat polo
is a growing game in America we have all known, but no
year has so marked its advance as this one.
No SINGLE FEATURE IS so RESPONSIBLE for this devel
opment of the American game and player as the system
of lmnclicappicg used by the Polo Association. It is safe
to say that if we had been without such a system we
should be very far from where we now are in polo.
Handicnppiog has been the very life of American polo;
without it the gnme would hnve !Jecome, with the gym
kann races, occasional and limited means of country-club
entert,ainmeot. Play would have been- restricted to the
very few who from natural aptitude or abundant leisure
formed a class by themselves. There was a discordant
element in the Association which opposed handicapping,
and quoted the English method, where all events are flat.
The element was selfish in disposition and weak in argu
ment, and the opposition amounted to naught. Little
comparison can be made between the polo situation i n
England and America, and that little suggests our cling•
ing to the handicap system. Polo'.s greatest supporter i n
England i s the army; i t is not played by the United States
army. Outside of the army the game is not as generally
played in Great Britain as it is in the United States,nor does
it offer such encouragement or opportunity to the begin
ner. !fhere are a few teams that play first-class polo, and
the rest are out of it. If we pursued a similar system
here the Association would now have about twenty-five
players instead of over two hundred, and its clubs would
number about four in place of seventeen. Let no one
offer objections to handicapping; it has actually been the
making of the American game.
MUCH IN'fEREST ATTACHED TO 'fHE CONTEST for the
general type. The number of well-set-up, good-looking,
and speedy ponies always to be seen at a match is of Kulm Cup, since the Country Club of Westchester team
itself, without the play, of sufficient attraction to any man had already won it twice (in '91 and '92), and, by the con

mustang as he came to us wild and .woolly, and a most ad_aptahle. useful little
beast he proved-so good;indeed; that the
English team which came over and beat
us took home a few of our ponies. They
probably recognized the qualities which
a p1'ocess of breeding up would · refine
and enhance. vVc, many years later, have
likewise recognized them, and to-day the
American polo pony at his best seems to
equal the English in all save looks. At
least such are the facts, if we may j udge
rightly from comparisons between the
home product and H. P. W hitney's im•
ported ponies at the :Meadow Brook Club.
There seems no good reason . why this
comparison is not an accurate one, since
Whitney's knowledge of a horse and his
money should put the very best in his
stable. At all events, these English po
n ies do not outpace the best of ours. nor
are they· handier. Pony-breeding -(of the
highest type) is a recent· indl1stry in the
United St.ates ; but, like everything else to
which we turn our attention·, it ·has been
carried to a high state of i:levelopment.
This is, of course, true i n only a few di
rections, for the breeding up_ 9f stock takes
longer than the perfecting of machinery.
There are several breeders that have been
very -successful, and the bunches of ponies

iinr1 increasin g strength, and in another year. if they keep
the pace, will get well up towards the top. The work of
the Waterburys, L. and J. M., Jun. , considering. their age·
and the length of time playing, is quite the most notable
of the season. The greatest credit for Westchester's
showing is due E. C. Potter, who this year, as always, i s
t h e same steady, harci-working back, and, in addition, by ·
h i s excellent generalship, has got the utmost out of his
younger and less.seasoned players.
Next to the Waterburys in point of improvement are
two other brothers, Albert and R. T. Francke, both of
w hom generally equal and frequently surpass, even now,
L. J. Francke, who has played for years. Albert' began
the season without a handicap, and is now charged with 4 ;
R. T. h a d 2, a n d is n o w 5 . I n t h e same club, Rockaway,
H. B. Case was not handicapped, and has now z" goals ;
G. L . Meyers was 2 , and i s 8 ; J. S. Stevens was 7 , apd i s 6.
Rockaway is strong this year. Jts first team will have
Cowdi n , Keene, Stevens, and later 'IV. Rutherford, while
its second team has demonstrated that i t could on bresent
handicap beat both first Rockaway and Meadow ··Brook.
It has been very successful, w inning the Alden anq Rock
away Cl.n1.llenge Cups.
Meadow Brook has not played the game of other years,
and misses Hitchcock and Day. Neither 'IV . C. Eustis
nor Taylor has played so well as last year, and e�ch has
been reduced to 4 goals. Mortimer, Roby, and Page, how
ever, are all playing heller, and have been raised a goal.
Myopia is about as strong as last year. Although Shaw
is not up to form and has been reduced a goal, Gardner,
on lhe other hand, has been raised one. Agassiz's form
has varied also, but they will all he fit for Ne,vport.
Brookline Country Club has made a good showipg this
season with several new men and some i m proved old ones.
Goodwin has been raised 2 goals, and is now 5; a,icl Fay
is also 5. Hobart, the new man, has gone from O to 8 goals.
W h eeler of Philadelphia has been moved from 1 goal
to 4, and Philadelphia otherwise has shown some slight
improvement iu play.

Matt. 25:21
Rev. Fr. Hanna Sakkab, Pastor
Esteemed Members of the Parish Council
and all Beloved Faithful of St. Elias Church:
We deeply rejoice with you in the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of St. Elias
Church. Surely the fathers of St. Elias have left their spiritual marks on our souls
and deserve our prayers, gratitude and admiration for a task very well done. The
pioneers who founded St. Elias Church are indeed a shining example for all of us in
sacrifice, struggle and devotion. Thus, as we immerse ourselves in the joy of this
occasion, let us resolve that the glory of yesterday and the determination of today be
wedded together in one hope for a glorious future.
We would also Uke 1Dtake this opportunity 1Dcongratulate Father Sakkab as he celebrates
his twenty-fifth year in the Holy Priesthood. On behalf of myself and the Antiochian
Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, I join you in thanking Father Sakkab
for his devotion and dedication to our Holy Church. May God continue to bless him, his
wife and children with good health so that he may continue to carry his cross willingly,
and cheerfully as he has done in the past twenty-five years for the Glory of God.
We ask the parishioners of St. Elias to reach out with mighty arms to help Father Sakkab
make the presence of O>d a reality in this turbulent world. If we unite together in the
bond of love with one mind and one heart, nothing can stand in our way.
Oongratulattons on your Fiftieth Anniversary !

MESSAGE FROM
CHAIRMAN OF
PARISH COUNCIL
AND GOLDEN
JUBILEE GENERAL
CHAIRMAN
MY BELOVED FAITHFUL OF ST. ELIAS AND OUR FRIENDS:
Today we celebrate the glorious GOLDEN DAY of the event which occurred
50 years ago. On this auspicious occasion, we welcome you all in the Name of our
Lord and pray that you will enjoy every minute of our celebration. We also would
like to welcome in your behalf, our most beloved Metropolitan Philip to preside
over the festival of his blessed little flock at this amiable tabernacle of St. Elias on
top of this beautiful hill in Syracuse.
At this time, we commemorate the noble committment of those individuals
who established this parish. We pray that Almighty God bless those of them that
are still with us, and have mercy upon the souls of the other who have already gone
to their eternal rest.
It is befitting at this time to congratulate all those who have laboured so hard
and carried the cross of responsibility thereafter, and have generously contributed their precious time and monies to build this beautiful building and Church
in which we now worship and teach our children the True Faith in God. It is also
befitting that we here today renew our committment to our parish, our Lord and
the works we attempt at St. Elias. We must commit ourselves to continue the
efforts started by a small but dedicated group only 50 years ago.
Today we also open a new page in the history of St. Elias, to record therein the
generous contributions of all those who love the beauty of His house, whether by
effort and time, or by money to beautify it with icons and many other things such as
the magnificent stained glass Rose window of our "LORD AT EMMAUS "and the
Electronic Quadrabell Carillons.
'
At this time, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the Church
Council Chairman and members, to all the St. Elias Organizations and to all the
parishioners and friends who helped make our festival activities most successful
and pray that all our dreams and plans come true for the best of the Orthodox
a~d O~hodoxy for fifty more years to come under the leadership and guidance of
Has Emanence.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Hanna S. Sakkab
Fuad Hodge
On behalf of myself, the Parish Council and all the Parishioners of
St. Elias Church, I welcome our blessed Em~inence Metropolitan Philip
to Syracuse to share with us this special occasion.

IN MEMORIAM
METROPOLITAN ARCHBISHOP ANTONY BASHIR
1898 - 1966
�St. Elias parish was born officially, and for the
record, on November 10, 1929.That is the date of the
first meeting of the "Men's Committee." But, its real
beginning, in the hearts of our founders, stemmed
from the need for freedom and self-expression, even
before they arrived on the shores of our great
United States of America.
Among the thousands seeking the better life for
themselves and their families, a few from the
Middle East settled in Syracuse. And as with all the
different foreign groups, most lived among themselves, maintaining their own "old country" customs
while learning the ways of the new land.
Having lived close to the Church all their lives and
desiring the fulfillmentof spiritual needs, it was only a
matter of time before these people would gather in the
one common effort.
For some time in previous years, clergymen had
been traveling throughout the country, serving the
people with the sacrements. It was on one of these
visits by His Grace, Bishop Victor Abu Assaly that he
urged the people of Syracuse to organize a parish, and
followingthe Divine Liturgy that day, a meeting was
held in the home of Michael Morris to discuss the
matter. A second meeting in the home of
Joseph Seikaly resulted in the formation of the first
committee, with Habeeb Rezak, President
Michael Morris, Vice-President, George Corey'.
Treasure~, and Nick Yake, Secretary, along with
Cons_tantmeEassa, Joseph Corey, Joseph Seikaly,
T?wf1ck H. Mahshie, Salim Abdo, Salim Derany,
S1maanKoury, BasilaKetaily,and Constantine Hodge
members of the committee. A ladies organization wa~
also formed, its officers being Jamelia Abdallah
Eveline Abdo, Nehai Abdo, Hind Aborjaily, and
Mary Rezak.
In the followingyear, the obvious need for a Church
buildingwas realized with the purchase of the former
Lafayette Methodist Church on West Lafayette
Avenue, for $9,000. Meanwhile, the occasional visits
by clergy continued, among these were (1) The Very
Reverend Hannania Kassab, (2) Reverend John
Khoury, (3) Reverend Michael Massbny, (4) The
Very Reverend Antonius Joorey, and The Very
Reverend Basilius Nadir, who became our first resident
pastor, if only for a short time.
1936 was a critical year and turning point in the life
of the parish. Problems of organization plagued he
congregation, and during this penod, a fire cau "d
considerable damage to the building. Parish 1te
suffered and leadership lapsed. Fortunately, others
took up the slack, renewed leadership evolved, nd
more younger rpembers emerged to develop mte ·st
and activity in the Church. Re-organization effor s of
the Men's Committee, along with revival of the L 11es
Society rejuvenated the parish life.
The followingyear, an activity which would bee '1e
the social event of the year for the Arabic spe mg
community of Central New York was instituted
the
Annual St. Elias Mahrajan. The first of many a, • ,ual
affairs which brought together many people of Arabic
speaking background.
With this stabilized condition, the ability to su1,port
a resident pastor brought the assignment of The Very
Reverend Father George Karim in 1939. He and his
family were housed in a rented house on Midland
Avenue until 1943 when the West Lafayette rectory
was purchased.
During the years of World War II,little change took
place, aside from maintaining the stability of the parish
and participating in those activities concerned with
servicemen. But when peace returned and with it our
loved ones, a renewed effort for growth appeared.
In 1950, the expanded social center was completed
and Metropolitan Anthony Bashir graced the occasion
with his presence at the celebration of the opening
of the building. In 1953, the St. Elias Orthodox Youth
Organization was founded. A Church School was
organized under the able direction of Evelyn Abdo.
Our choir was started with Rose Sopp as its first
director, usmg English liturgical music was introduced
i"to the Divine Liturgy. These years also saw the
expansion of a strong youth movement on Regional
and Archdiocesan levels. A Men's Society and
Teenage SOYO became the extension of other
activities. Along with the religious and social aspects
of the parish life, the financial needs commanded
contmuous attention. The ever growing parish activity
demanded further financial support which demand
was met by the generous giving of money and effort
by members of the parish. In 1955, the use of weekly
pledge envelopes was introduced and dues were
increased. Prior to this annual contributions were
only $12.00 per family, but the growing parish and
greater needs for service called for a financial system
which could support those needs. Truly, St. Elias had
moved from providing the minimal requirements of a
small immigrant neighborhood in 1929 into the
spiritual center of Orthodox people of Arabic heritage
from as far as seventy miles from Syracuse.
The year 1959 saw The Very Reverend Father
George Kanm resign due to ill health, after havmg
served diligentlyfor twenty years Interirriassignments
of the Very Reverend Fat'1ers John Koury and
Michael Hubiak followed the permarent appointment
in 1960, of the Reve~e~J Father Gregory Reynolds
whose sta_ here was but to ist a few ye irs. That :,ame
year the parish was all sactc •n»d by the passing away
to sleep in the 1 c rd of
r bC>lovC>d
Fa! 1-.er
George Karim
Metropolitan Philip returned to formally consecrate
the Church. He took this happy occasion to elevate
Father Michael Shahin to the rank of Archpriest.
It is fitting to include at this point that the spiritual
environment of those first 40 years produced a
contribution to the Archdiocese of three priests from
among our congregation - Very Reverend Elias
Karim, Reverend Louis Mahshie, and Very Reverend
Anthony Gabriel, each of whom have served
pastorships in a number of various cities throughout
the Archdiocese.
We should also be ever so mindful of those
members of this parish who have been thrust into
positions of leadership and responsibility, by their
acknowledged desire to serve and by the needs for
service as they evolved:

Dear Parishioners and Patrons of Saint Elias,
It is with a good deal of pride and much satisfaction that I look back
over the past half of a century here at Saint Elias. As one of the
original members of the Parish, I've had the pleasure of knowing and
working with many dedicated and truly christian people towards
our common goals. God has seen fit to bless our efforts. Our Parish,
however, is much more than just the beautiful building. Our Parish
is a community of neighbors and friends. Our love for one another
is the testimonial which we shall carry into the next half of a century.
May our beloved Bishop Philip, Father John, the Board of Trustees,
the Ladies Auxiliary and the Youth group lean on the strength of
those who have gone before us and keep Saint Elias's home lights
shining forever.
God Bless you all,
George and Bernadine Cory

An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/historical note</h4>
<p>The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America (AOCA), headquartered in Englewood, New Jersey, oversees seven dioceses with over 250 parishes in the United States and Canada. </p>
<p>The AOCA is one of 24 archdioceses of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East across the world. The editorial office for their publication <em>The Word</em> is in Brooklyn, New York. AOCA founded the periodical as an Arabic language publication in 1905, which ran for 16 volumes. The final issue of the Arabic <em>Al-Kalemat</em> appeared in 1933, and the English iteration <em>The Word</em> began anew in 1957.</p>
<p>The original copies of the periodical are housed at the Antiochian Heritage Library in Bolivar, Pennsylvania. The Antiochian Heritage Library was founded in 1987, and its collections focus on information about early Christianity, the theology of the Orthodox Church, and religious and cultural themes in Middle Eastern history. </p>
<h4>Scope/content note</h4>
<p>The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America Newspaper Collection includes both Arabic-language volumes of Al-Kalemat and English-language volumes of <em>The Word</em> (also called Al-Kalemat, Al Kalimat, Al Kalimah, and الكلمة), covering the years 1905-1993. The periodical focuses on current events and debates from an Antiochian Orthodox perspective. </p>
<p>The periodical is written and published by The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America and continues to be published monthly excluding July and August. Some years and issues are not included in the collection, and there are some years that the publication did not run.<br /><br />The collection also includes various parish commemorative booklets from Antiochian Orthodox churches in different regions of the United States, including but not limited to, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, and New York.</p>
<p>The English-language volumes are located here on the KCLDS Archive's website. The Arabic-language volumes are located on the Khayrallah Center’s <a href="https://arabicsearch.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arabic Newspapers database</a>.</p>

Let us see the qu.ility of thar fire that burns upon our Altar today. It "

Tlut sacred flame upon our Altar will never go out so long as there ,ire

FATHER
GABRIEL
WHITL
To those .1ttending this Golden Jubilee celebration, and chose who may
l.iccr re.id these words. I speak with the r.1re privilege given to me as President
of the Bo.1rd of Trust,·cs of Sc. ;\,lich.1el's Orthodox Church. I join with youas you join with all the members of our congregation-in
commemorating our
5Och anniversary :ts a parish.
Bue in no way may we \peak only of ourselves. The mere cerm-50 years
-bespeaks a half a century, and our minds go back to chose founding days
when our forefathers here in Geneva gathered together to form this nucleus
of a church of our faith.
Ochers have honored our predecessors. One has spoken of how our
Church was srarced bv h.1rd work-handwork.
I would add chat, co paraphrase a great statesmen. the very foundations of this parish contain the sweat
-no blood perhaps-but
certainly some tears. evoked in the rugged toil of
those early days.
But no tribute to our founding fathers can go unaccompanied by the
sincerity of my tribute co you, todav's congregation, who have done so
much co make St. Michael's the outstanding parish chat it is today, not only
in the Orthodox faith, but in the life of Geneva.
I extend my sincere appreciation for ,ill cl1.1t you luve done in bringing
our beloved Sc. Micha~l's to the pec1k on which it stands today. Noc only do
we progress spiritually, bur financially. Also, we are progressing in the
numbers of people who are returning to our faith.
I should like to extend my thanks to you who have made the physical
structure chat is Sc. Michael's possible, and also my sincerest appreciation to
Metropolitan Anthony Bashir, Rev. Father Gabriel White, to the Committees
and Chairmen, to the Past Presidents and Trustees and to the present Board
of T rustccs.
Seldom, indeed, does one have an opportunity to serve and be associated
with so outstanding ,1 group of people as you-the
people of St. Michael's
Orthodox Church. I deem it a personal privilege 1nd pleasure to be one of
you and I ask God to bless you, each and every one.

�HISTORY OF THE
HOLY EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH
The Holy Eastern Orthodox Church, known historically as the Eastern
Catholic Church, the Holy Orthodox-Catholic Apostolic Church, the Greek
Church, and simply as the Orthodox Church, is the One Holy Catholic and
Apostolic Church of one hundred and forty million Christians of both the
Eastern and Western hemispheres. It has been known as the church of the
first Christian era or the Church of the Seven Ecumenical Councils, and considers herself co be the direct heir and true conserver of the faith and practices of the early Church.
In che first period of the development of the Orthodox Church, during
the first five centuries, Orthodox Christianity received its basic forms or constitution. The foundations of Orthodox Christianity were laid by the great
Ecumenical Councils during this period.
Two important historical events, the rise of the Papacy in Western Europe
Jnd the advance of Mohammedanism, held the Church's chief attention during
the second period, which extended from the 5th to the 11th century. These
two forces threatened the integrity and existence of the Eastern Orthodox
Christians. The heathen Slavs and the Iconoclastic Controversy caused more
unrest during this troubled period, leading finally to the separation between
Eastern Christianity and Western Christendom.
During the Third Period (11th to 19th century). the advancing waves of
Mohammedanism swept over and destroyed the Southeastern empires of the
Byzantine Emperors, the Bulgars, the Serbs, and the Ronunians. At the s,1mc
time, the monstrous flow of Tartars swept over the Russian Orthodox territory,
threatening the very existence of both Eastern Civilization and Eastern
Christianity. Here the steadfastness of the Orthodox Christians together with
their capacity to suffer and die for the Faith had a double result. Orthodox
Christianity maintained its own existence and also secured the safety of Western
Christianity.
During the Fourth and last period of development, from the 19th century
on, all the Orthodox peoples, supported by the inner and protective power of
their churches, have been liber3ted from foreign subjection and oppression,
whether political or religious. Then came the Bolshevistic Revolution during
WWI, subjecting the Russian Orthodox Church to one of history's bloodiest
persecutions. Since the Revolution, several of our sister Orthodox Churches in
Eastern Europe have been subjected co persecution and considerable restriction.
Nevertheless a new day is dawning for Orthodox Christians. Thousands, if not
millions of people are beginning to realize chat the Orthodox Church is rich
both in theory and in practice and is the power which unites Orthodox believers in an indissoluble unity with the early Church of the Apostles and
Martyrs. Within the Orthodox fold an enormous fermentation is caking place.
WORLD
WTDE CHURCH
The Orthodox Church is made up of I 5 national churches headed by
P.1criuchs; and, though independent administratively, they are united in Doctrine, Discipline, and Worship, with only minor variations in customs. The
8 Orthodox bodies making up the Orthodox Church in the U.S.A., the Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Syrian, and Ukrainian
Churches, are each headed by a Bishop or Archbishop, under che uncanonical
jurisdiction of the Mother Church in their respective countries.
THE GREAT QUESTION
The GREAT QUESTION is, "When arc the SIX MILLION ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS OF AMERICA going co realize the implications of their
membership in the Orthodox Church and the implications of their citizenship
111 these United State? When will our nationality-conscious
churches become
the autocephalous American Orthodox Church?
BROADCASTING EXECUTIVE HERE FOR
50TH ANNIVERSARY
One of the highlights of the observance of the fiftieth anniversary of
St. Michael's Orthodox Church, Geneva, this Sunday, will be the appearance of
A. Van Mitchell, vice-president of the Pan-American Broadcasting Company
of New York City. Mr. Mitchell, who will be a principal speaker at St.
Michael's Golden Anniversary Banquet Sunday at Club 86, has a warm personal
regard for the Geneva church and its people, having spent part of his youth in
Geneva, when his father, The Rev. George Mitchell served as pastor of St.
Michael's.
Before JOmmg Pan-American Broadcasting, Mr. Mitchell already had a
long and varied career in radio and television, starting as a sportscaster and
network commentator in the Mid-West, prior to World War IL
So, it will be with deep pride that St. Michael's will welcome him on this
occasion of monumental importance to the people and friends of its parish.

The final issue of the Arabic <em>Al-Kalemat</em> appeared in 1933, and the English iteration <em>The Word</em> began anew in 1957.</p>
<p>The original copies of the periodical are housed at the Antiochian Heritage Library in Bolivar, Pennsylvania. The Antiochian Heritage Library was founded in 1987, and its collections focus on information about early Christianity, the theology of the Orthodox Church, and religious and cultural themes in Middle Eastern history. </p>
