STORIES OF STETSON.
ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING MEN
EVER IN THE SHOW BUSINESS.

atrical Circle, aa Well aa Within Tbem.
There is a mun bora now and thn
with a sort of bumoruni silver spoon in
his mouth. Uuintormpted Kd fortune
M a humoriHt smile on him through
life, and that, too. with 110 neeraiug
itffort of bis own. He somehow acquires
an early reputution for saying or doing
funny thinKS, which, once K"incu, notn"
ing con take away. All tho jokes in bis
lino of bis generation, and often soino
of earlier and later generations, aro
credited to him, and nobody cares to
disputotho honor. Collectors of jokes
are ready to accept Joe Miller as Joo
Miller, but no literary scholar believes
that ho originated all the jests in his
alleged book. Anybody can think for
himself of two or three similar examples
in the present half century, and, even
no, it is not likely that John Stetson
ever really said all or hulf tho amusing
things that were attributed to him.
They were good stories, some of them,
and they were told of Stetson, just as
tho story of fiddling while Romo burned
was told of Nero, not because they wore
truo, but to show what kind of man
Stetson was.
The stories which it was thought
proper to fix upon John Stetson were
thofe which exhibited any broad, com
prehensive and picturesque ignorance.
He was an ignorant man no doubt ig
norant enough, perhaps, to say all the
things that it was ever said that ho
said, but tho chances aro that he did
uot say them all But tho stories are
none the worse for that Years ago
Sophocles' "CEdipus Tyrannus" was
played by tho students of Harvard col
lege and excited great comment through
out the country. It was discussed ouo
eveuiug at a dinner at which Stetson
was present, and he cheerod the com
pany by announcing that he had con
tracted with Sophocles for tho writing
f a new play to be produced by him
the following season.
This story belongs in the same class
:ts a somewhat nioro elaborate one.
Stetson once took possession of a now
thoateraud discovered in the lobby a
picture that did not meet his artistio
taste. "Tako that picture down," he
aid.
"But, Mr. Stetson," somebody re
monstrated, "that picture was painted
by Michael Angola"
"Michael who?" said Stetson.
"Michael Angela "
"Well, take it down," said Stetson,
"and discharge Angela I won't have
any of these foreign scone painters
around my theater; I'm going to em
ploy Amerieans. "
This so amusod those who heard it
that they at once told the incident to
friends of Stetson and themselves, and
among thorn was Jack Haverly, the
famous negro minstrel manager. Hav
erly did not laugh when he heard it,
but simply looked puzzled. He thought
for a few moments, and then a faint
smile camo into his face, and ho said,
"Oh, yes, I see; there ain't no such por
Hon as Michael Augulo!"
This answer was thought good enough
to take back to Stetson, who, it was as
sumed, must have taken pnins in the
meantime to inform himsolf of tho his
tory of art Bufflciontly to understand it
"What do you think, Stetson?" said his
friond. "We have told Jack Havorly
what you said about Michael Angelo,
and ho said, 'Oh, I see; there ain't no
suoh person as Michael Angelo I' "
Stetson looked blank in his turn for a
inomont and then received his own littlo
illumination as to tho humor of tho
thing. "Why, the ignorant old fool,"
he said j "of ccmrso ho ought to have
naid, 'Thcro isu't any such person as
Michael Angela ' "
This story again recalls another with
a similar touch in it Tho conversation
once turned on a clever passage in W.
Florence's old play, "Tho Mighty
Dollar," in which Bardwnll Slout ex
poses his ignoranoo by referring to a
hacknmu whom he had encountered in
Venice. "Yes," said Stetson, "that is
olovcr; of courso they don't have hacks
in Venice i it's suoh a slow placo they
don't have anything but omnibuses und
mulo carta " This fable found its way
into priut again only a few weeks be
fore Mr. Stetson's death.
"What do you think of So-and-so?"
Stetson asked of a frioud, naming one
of the actors of his company. He meant
to ask what his friend thought of the
way tho actor was playing tho part in
which he was then engaged, but the
friond supposed that he meant to ask
what manner of man ho thought him.
So he answered, "He's well enough,
only he seems to me to be a littlo too
pedantia "
This struck Stetson as a good word,
and he stored it up in bis memory for
future use. A fow days later, when lit
met the actor, he said, "I was in from,
watching you lust night and thought
you didn't play that part quite as pe
dantic as you usually da "
Sometimes Mr. Stetson's expressions
amounted to epigrams. It will lie re
membered that when (iilbert and Sulli
van's "The Gondoliers" was first done
in this country at the New Park theater,
now tho Herald Syuure, it was a dread
ful failure. It was clearly and obvious
ly so to anybody who saw any consid
erable part of it, evi n if he were ordi
narily a bad judge of such things, and
Stetson was uot a bad judge. He bad se
cured the rights to the opera for New
England, and he had paid a good deal of
money for them, ilo went to the New
Park on tbo first night to sees aud hear
what bis property looked and sounded

THE BREECHLOADER.
Improvements In Ouns That Condoca U
Kapidtty of rirlng.
Let us examine a breechloader and
see what improvements have been mude
which may conduco to rupidity of lire.
We see that in the older pattern three
motions were necessary to open the
breech. Fir, tho bar which is fixed
across tho baso of the block had to be
removed, then a half turn had to be
given to the block to free it in its bed,
and then it had to be pulled forward.
Lastly, it had to be thrown back on its
hinge, so as to open the gun from end to
end. We aro shown that in later pat
terns tho cavity or bed into which the
block fits is mado in the form of a cone,
to that tho breech block itself can be
turned outward without any preliminary
motion forward. In artillery work timo
is everything, and any ono motion of
the gunner's hands and arms saved is a
point gained.
Now let us look at the mechanism by
which the recoil or backward movement
of tho gun is checked at the moment of
firing. Tho gun slides into its cradlo,
and its recoil is counteracted by buffers
which work in coil, somctlyng in tho
fashion of tho coil springs which we see
on doors. Iron spiral springs push the
gun buck again into place. Another in
teresting pieco of mechunism is the elec
tric machinery by which the gun is fired.
When the recoil has taken place, the
wire, along which runs the electric cur
rent, is pushed out of place, so thut it
is impossible to fire the gun, even though
it be loaded, until it has been again
fixed in its proper position on tho cradle.
Truly a modern cannon is a wonderful
machino, and yet it is only a develop
ment from tho sort of iron gas pipe which
was used in the middlo ages.
Hard by is a gun which has come to
grief. In experiments which aro carried
on at Shoeburyuess guns are charged to
their full, or, as in this case, more than
their full strength. There is an ugly
gash running down the outer case or
jacket, as it is called, of the gun, and
the latter has broken aud nearly jumped
out of itscradla Nursery phraseology
certainly comes in strongly in the tech
nical slung of gunnery when we have to
do with Woolwich infanta Chambers'
Journal.
X RAYS CAN BE SEEN.
Their Effect on Different Fart of the
Unman Eye.
Dr. Brandes of the University of
Halle has succeeded in rendering directly
visible the X rays discovered by Pro
fessor Roentgen. The observation mado
by Professor Salvioni, an Italian physi
cist, that lenses are in a very slight de
gree penetrable by Roentgen's rays,
suggosted to Dr. Brandes the idea thut
the invisibility might be duo to circum
innma HintimtMl with this fact He ac
cordingly resolved to tost the effect of
Roentgen's rays on lenscless eyes.
There are many people who have bad
tho lenses of thoir eyes removed as a
rcmody for extreme shortsightedness or
for cataract A girl who had had this
operation performed on both ' eyes, but
in whose right eye a remnant of tho lens
had been left, allowed the experiment
to be tried upon her.
Professor Dorn, whom Dr. Brandes
had interested in the investigation, sub
jected the girl quite unexpectedly to the
rays, and, when the strong current
passed through the tube, which had been
totully darkened, she declared that she
saw light with her left eye. Professors
Dorn and Brandes at first thought it
possible that a spark had leaped across,
but, when this had been rendered impos
sible, the girl continued to declare that

On further trying the experiment tho

fnmnlitnlv inclosed in nu entirely

it even when a large aiunuuium puuu,

other hand, results if a thick pane of

in a very slight degree penetrable by
Roentgen's rays, is placed between the
tube und tho closed or covered eye.

IT WORKS BOTH WAYS
ENRICHES THE CREDITOR AND IM
POVERISHES THE DEBTOR.
What tho Destruction of tho Hotter Qual
ities of Silver Baa Done For England
and This Country Declaration of tho
World' Leading Financial Paper.
In a recent issue The Statist of Lon
don, ono of the ablest flnanoial papers in
the world, but ft goldbug, of courso, in
writing of tho unusually prosperous con
dition of British industries which made
possiblo the chancellor of the excheq
uer's budget reported at the beginning
of last mouth, said:
Tho producing countries have been plunged
Into ao much distress that they aro compound
to oll at whatever price they can got, and our
people aro so well off thut thoy are able to buy
larger and larger quantitlea every year. The
Unit consequence of thia Is that the working
classes aru exceedingly prosperous, and tbo
foundution la being laid in the second place fur
a great increase in our trade because mer
cbauta aro laying In atocka of material at ex
ceptionally low prices.
The United kingdom baa the labor, the ma
chinery and tho capital to supply all the rent
of tho world with any quantity of goods tt
may require but our foreign customers were
too poor to buy from us on the usuul scale.
The exports merely confirm whut tho imports
tell us thut the producing countries aro In
deep distress, and that we are growing In
wealth. Roughly, tho decline in prices in the
exports is hulf the decline of prices in the im
ports, or, to put it differently, we gained twice
as much by buying our imports cheap as we
lost in selling our exports also cheup. But as
a mutter of fuct the loss must navo been
trifling, if thoro wns any loss. This country
mnnutactures cheap goods for all parts of tho
world, and cheup, coarse stuffs include in
their vuluo not very much labor. Tho chief
item is the raw mutcriul. But In buying the
ruw material we gained immensely, and con
sequently there was no need for very much
reduction in the wages.
Tho Statist hero lots us into the secret
of what it is that is enriching Englaud
"tho producing countries have been
plunged into so much distress that they
are compelled to sell at whatever price
they can get " An English paper like
Tho Stutist would not bo likely to make
such a cold blooded statement that
Britishers are growing rich upon tho
necessities of tho producing countries
if it were not a fact. We may accord
ingly accept it as a fuct and seek to as
certain what it means.
England is tho great creditor nation
of tho world. According to Mr. Glad
stone, whose authority nobody will dis
pute, her credits abroad amounted in
1893 to tho astounding sum of $10,000,
000,000, and theso investments, accord
ing to the calculation of the same high
authority, brought in to Englishmen
the tidy amount in annual returns of
$500,000,000. These credits of Great
Britain have not certainly decreased in
the courso of tho lust three years, and in
referring to them now it will be safe
enough to speak of tbem as still amount
ing to that sum. In that inoomoof
$500,000,000 from her foreign invest
ments is to be recognized one of, the
leading sources of England's well to do
ness. It represents a fine revenue when
we remember especially that it is Jmite
over and above all her ordinary com
mercial gains. She is in tho position of
the head of a family who has saved so
much money aud has invested it so
wisely that he is able to support his
family upon it without touching current
profits or revenues. It is very good for
Englaud. -
But there is another view of the case,
and tho other is the view in which we,
as British tributaries, are mainly inter
ested, for wo aro tributaries to Great
Britain, however much we may squirm
at tho liame. And, in fact, not only are
we tributaries of Great Britain, but we
are easily tho most extensive tributaries
that she has. Of the $500,000,000 por
annum which indebted foreigners pay
to Britishers to muko them rich und
prosperous wo huve the pleasure of
knowing thot wo in the United Stutcs
contribute over $200, 000,000 every ycur.
It is worth while reflecting a moment
how we pny that huge uunual tribute,
ull payablo in gold or gold's equivalent
Plainly we cannot pny it all with tho
gold that is mined in the United Mates,
for tho gold that is mined in the United
States in a year does not amount at the
outsido to more than $50,000,000, aud
we canuot pay oft a gold debt of $300,
000,000 with a gold product of $50,
000,000. When wo have handed over to
our creditor on tho other side of the At
lantic every ounce of the $50,000,000
which is aunually extracted from the
United States mines, we still owe Eng
land an annual debt of $150,000,000.
How do we pay it?
We have to pay it in exports. And
Tho Statist, in tho excerpt which we
have quoted, tells the nature of the pay
ment in exports "tho producing coun
tries have been plunged iuto so much
distress that they aro compelled to sell
at whatever price they can get" The
United States is among the "producing
countries" here referred to, and the
United States, a debtor, has to accept a
debtor's lines rom the creditor. The
United States has to sell its exports at
the "price it can get" There is no
reader of Tho Times-Democrat so ill
posted at this timo of day as to imagine
that tbo price of cotton and of wheat is
fixed by tho producer. It is the pur
chaser over in Liverpool who fixes the
price which the fanner in the United
States is to be paid for his surplus cot
ton and wheat that is fur sale.
Now, then, Americans being indebted
iu a lurgo sum per annum, as we bave
seen, to the Britisher, und not being
ablo to pay the British creditor in gold,
have to take what price fur their good9
they can get Previously to the demone
tization of silver as a money, when sil
ver aud gold were both legal tender cur
rency on a parity, Amerieans paid off
their annual indebtedness to the British
creditor in wheat at $1 per bushel and
cotton at 12 cents per pound. That was
an equitable transaction. The creditor
got good interest on his investment and
the producer got good value for his labor.
Bnt the creditor wm not satisfied with
this urranpnient. He did not make
.'iiough out of it. He then-fore arranged
to contract the volume ef legal money
by one half, in order that the half
which was left might increase in value.
Ho had silver demonetized accordingly,
and then gold the ouly legal money
left wont away up in value and is
now worth 150 conta, whore previously
it was worth only 100 ceuts. This new '
arrangement suits the British creditor
well, but it is painfully hard on the
American debtor. The American debt-;
or could under the old double standard
arrangement pay his $150,000,000 in
debtedness with 60,000,000 bushels of
wheat and 7,500,000,000 pounds of cot
ton. Now, under the single gold stand
ard, with gold greatly appreciated in
consequence of the change, the Amcri- j
can debtor cannot payoff his $150,000,-
000 annual indebtedness to the British
creditor with loss than 100,000,000
bushels of wheat (at GO cents) and 12,
000,000,000 pounds of cotton (at 7
cents) I
That is what the single gold standard
baa dono for creditor Great Britain and
debtor United States. It has enriched
the British gold possessor beyond pre
vious record. It has impoverished the
indebted American producer to near
starvation point New Orleans Times

A Meeting Which Showed Where the Prac
tical Common Sense Laborer Stands,
Walking down Alabama street the
other night, Thursday, I think it was,
1 huppened to glnnco up and saw a flood
of light streaming from windows and
heard the sound or many voices.
I Hunt droDued nrj to the third story
of the big building, corner Pryor and
Alabama, and was usnerca into a large,
brilliantly lighted hall, full to over
flowing. I took a seat and, while reviewing
this body of brain and brawn, was en
tertained by short speeches as sensible
as ever fell from any lips lacking, it
may be, the finish of what is called or
atorybut charged with common sense
and, better still, ringing with honesty.
There was no preparation. The chair
man simply picked out a man here and
there in the ereut crowd and each and
every one called, quickly and willingly
responded.
Have you ever noticed how straight a
workingman goes to the point? How
simply and briefly he cuts to the core of
his subject? The tenor of the talk was
that tho time had come in the history
of Altanta when the laboring people
should put aside their personal prefer
ences and vote as a unit for only such
men as will do the soub of toil justice
in the matter of legislation and there
was a determination shown to eschew
all division and pursue this wise policy
in the future.
As the evening waned the chairman
suddenly rapped the assembly to order
and called out :
"As it is growing a little late and
we have to rise early I would like to
put a question or two before we ad
journ. I want to sound this meeting on
tho great currency question now agitat
ing the country. "
' All ears pricked up at these interest
ing words.
"All in favor of the single gold
standard, " cried tho chairman, "will
please rise to their feet "
A great hush fell upon the meeting
as only one gentleman a Btockily built
man with a smiling face timidly arose
to his feet and quickly seeing that he
was in a hopeless minority sank back
into his chair.
"Now," cried the chairman, "all in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver nt a ratio of 16 to 1 pleuse
stand up."
With a mighty shout of enthusiasm
which shook the building the meeting
sprang to its feet us one mun.
A single man for tho single gold
standard!
The ratio of men for free silver was
immeusely greater than 16 to 1.
For there were by actual count 260 of
these intelligent representatives of the
lubor organizations of Atlanta assem
bled in tbo hall.
Tho meeting was 260 to 1 against the
single gold standard.
There they were under the full light
I hud seen them rise and vote with my
own eyes, and yet it was hard to believe
that tho proportion of Atlanta working
men for free silver was so great.
Cuu it be possible thut the working
men of this city are so overwhelmingly
one way?
"How is this?" I asked Mr. George
Cassiu.
"I think you'll find," said he, "that
the working people of Atlanta, almost
as a body, are for free silver." Atlanta
Constitution.
Tho People For Silver.
Whatever may bo current opinion in
the cities, whatever the convictions of
Wall street, the bankers, the merchants,
and even the working classes of the
great towns, the overwhelming prepon
derance of publio conviction in the
United States to-day is antagonistic to
the single gold standard, hostile to the
natiouul bank system and favorable to
bimetallism. They remember that the
men who now preach gold, under the
guise of "honest money," have behind
I them a record of falsehood and deceit,
i Three years ago "honest money" meant
I a bimetal lio currency. Now, by the jt
I sistcnt reiteration of those who find
profit in a contracted currency, it means
; gold alone. Curiously enough, while
the politicians have been drifting toward
; gold, the people have been taming for
relief to silver.
I It is a condition and not a theory, as
' Mr. Cleveland said, which now con
fronts us. The couditiou is that the ag
ricultural, mining and working dis
tricts, or classes, of the United States
have been convinced that a greater
measure of silver coinage will profit
them. The party which puts forward a
presidential candidate with a platlorm
responsive to this belief is likely to win.

ing to the Iowa Homestead, which tells,
for example, that in those portions of
Kansas and Nebraska where alfalfa has
been successful for a considerable time
it baa occurred to a great inuny to seed
orchards with it This proved to be a
very serious mistake, for in only ordina
rily dry weather the alfalfa robbed the
trppa of the moisture they needed, and
the would be fruit grower found him
self without an orchard, but with a very
good alfalfa field. The alfalfa is a doep
rooted plant, going down into the soil a
long distance for its water supply and
requiring a good deal of it When it
and the trees contest for a supply that
is only sufficient for one form of plant
life or the other, the alfalfa is always
the winner and the trees ro to the wall.
It may be set down as a fact, reasonably
well established, that alfalfa is uusuited
for seeding an orchard except in locali
ties where there is no question about the
sufficiency of moisture.
