How a Denver City Editor Managed to Interview the Eminent Railroader. The anticipated -visit of Jay Gould and the consequent agitation among the newspaper reporters recalls the fact that Gould was never fairly out witted by a reporter but once, and the exceptional incident occurred at the time Gould was in Denver after having just purchased the Kansas Pacific Bailroad. The financial world was agog for information as to Gould's intentions and plans, and the Denver newspaper offices were over whelmed with telegrams from eastern dailies asking for special dispatches regarding the railroad magnate and his movements. Mr. Fred Skiff, who is now. manager of the Denver Tribune, was at that time "city editor of the paper, and he detailed three of his beat reporters to get at Gould and interview him by hook or by crook About 9 o'clock at night the reporters showed up with the in formation that Gould could not be tieen; that his sentinels were posted ull along the hall leading to his rooms in the Grand Central hotel, and it was impossible to run the gauntlet of thse wary creatures. Perhaps with a view of showing his subordinates what genuine enter prise could accomplish, Skiff an nounced that he would secure access to Gould's apartment, and wouldfjit erally beard the lion in his den. Ac cordingly he hustled around, bor rowed a Pullman car conductor's coat and cap, and stalked boldly into the Grand Central. "Look here," said he, to the first sentinel he met, "what does Mr. Gould propose to do about that car? I must know right away, for if he isn't going to use it to-morrow I-ve got to take it back to Chicago." The sentry knew nothing about the car, of course, and advised Skiff to see Gould about it himself. So Skiff successfully ran the gaunt let of the half dozen lackeys, growl ing all the time about the bother of being compelled to attend to other people's business. Judge Usher, one of Gould's attor neys, was in consultation with Gould when the bogus sleeping car conduct was shown in. He immediately rec ognized Skiff, having known him back in Kansas. "When did you get out of the newspaper business?" inquired the astonished lawyer, "I ain't out of it," replied Skiff, "but I had to put on this disguise in order to get in here to interview Mr. Gould." "Young man," said Mr. Gould, sternly, "if you're a reporter you can take your self right out of the room, for I am not to be interviewed." Skiff argued the point, and, not being invited to be seated, coolly sat down on the floor. "Unless you put me out," said he, "I shall stay here till you tell me what your plans are." This audacity rath er pleased Gould. He looked at Usher, and, seeing that party chuck ling heartily, he broke out into aloud laugh. "Well what do you want to know?" he said, finally, in the tone of a man who is wearied with objecting. . Skiff knew he had triumphed. He produced his note-book, drew up to th&table at which Gould sat, and set industriously at work plying questions and noting- the replies. The result was a reliable forecast of the immense railroad enterprise in which Gould subsequently embarked, and of which the public would not have been fore warned but for the audacity and wit of the dauntless Skiff. Chicago Jf$ios? Bon Bnrdette Frees his Mind. Nobody cares for the swearing of a habitual swearer. His volleys of pro fanity have no terror in them. They mean nothing. It is 'the man who never swears who scares you out of your boots if once in a life time ho does swear. So far as we can learn, i.- , . . , . ' Washington only swore once during, all the eight years of the revolution-' ary war. But that one time counted. It turned back the tide of retreat, changed a rout into a victory and made .things hum. But the fellow who swears on all occasions, and swears hot and cold with the same mourn, tne intellectual pauper wno ., .... .. .1 . etes out ms Darren supplies or laeas im uu uuuuuauibupinyui piuuiuit, 1 dcal of time to advance the develop whose conversation is a long chain of j ment of Mexico bv United States mil privileges and who talks as alcapital and by American influence, beaver works, his swearing is weak, Hehas no pecuuian- interest in the vapid, tiresome, disgusting. So, if countrv, save as a" subscriber to a jou want to swear with any effect, raiij.oad wbjch lies wholly to the flu nnTT na ttqttt nninnTn iirfir ir n exclusive in your profanity. If you can't get along without it, bring it out occasionally, lifee rare old family diamonds; don't keep it running six or eight hours a day, like the kitchen hydrcnt. Anu you won't be offended, my son but if you will observe closely, you will perceive that young men, boys, fledgelings of about your age, swear1 more than men. More fre quently; more awkwardly; with less . point and direction. A man becomes ashamed of it It belongs to the cigarette and matinee period of life, my boy. It is a habit that flourishes in the bread-and-butter days, along somewhere between the high school and the college, and while the blue ribbon on the diploma is bright It belongs to what Puck so aptly calls the "jmsalted generation;' the fresh young men. So put it away and put on manly things. Hhiow some good men, some of the best.in the world, who will confound it, and even dog-gone it, and in New England even a deacon has been known, under a terrible strain, to "condemn" But as a rule, my son, don't do it Don't swear. It isn't an evidence of smartness or worldly wisdom. Any fool can swear. And great many fools do. I, my Bon? jth,1fyou could only gather up all IHe useless, uncalled for, ineffective -jilirears I have dropped along the pathway of my life, I know I would remove stumming oiocks irom many experienced feet and my own heart would be lighter by a ton than it is . to-day. But if you are going to be a fool just because other men have bees, oh, my son, what an awful, what a colossal, what a hopeless fool you Willi. The Kinc of Counterfeiter. Tom Ballard is beyoud question the king of all counterfeiter?. When the Canadian bankers were shown the notes which he had engraved for their banks thoy fairly trembled. There is no known means of detecting these counteifeits. They were per fect Tom was a great chemist, as well as being one of the most skillful engravers who ever lived. Besides this, he was the instigator of each new action, the designer and execu tor of each fresh counterfeit, and the means of producing it Most or these engravers are useless in other branches of the trade, but Tom was cue expert leader in all things with his gang. He succeeded in making a counterfeit fibre paper (the machinery for and the secret of manufacturing which cost the government 3200,000) which experts declare defies detec tion. When Tom was captured he offered to disclose to the United States government the secret of mak ing a paper which it would be impos sible for anyone to counterfeit if it would repeal his sentence. Ho is a pleasant, gentlemanly, kind, polite ard. attractive man to nieet, but is miserably morbid at times. Twice since his imprisonment he has at tempted suicide. Once, shortly after his incarceration, he disemboweled himself with some blunt-pointed weapon, but the doctor brought him out of it all right Five years later, while working at the .shoemaker's trade in prison, he cut his throat from ear to ear with a small knife. Both these attempts at self-destruction were caused by morbid feelings of discouragement After the second attempt, a beauti ful little bas-relief of his home, with its flowers about it, its banging vines, its green trees, and bis wife and fam ily walking down the pathway to meet him, was found on tho wall of his cell. He had cut it out with a sharp stick or some other equally primitive tool. He is an exceptionally talented man in a dozen different ways. He is j very popular among the prison officials ! on account of his gentlemanly and j considerate action and speech. These j officials dare not show Tom any par- j tiality, but they, together with a num-1 ber of New York bankers and other influential people are doing all they can to get his sentence commuted.

National Board of Trade. Washington, Jan. 23. Tho four teenth annual convention of tho na tional board of trade began its ses sion to-day. Nineteen board of trades and chambers of commerce were rep resented, among them New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Chi cago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Paul and San Francisco. The an nual report of the executive council discusses at considerable length the present condition of the American mercantile marine, and refers briefly to other topics of current financial and commercial interest A special report by the executive council on American shipping interests, is pre sented. It contains the report of the sub-committee 6f tho council that met at Cincinnati in May last, for the revival of the mercantile marine of the United States, and also the views of the various commercial bodies through the country in respect to the plan presented, as given in replies to circulars sent them by the council. The substance of tho plan proposed was tho admission to American regis ter of vessels purchased abroad by citizens of the United States, for use in the foreign trade; the admission, free of duty, of materials for the con struction of vessels in tho United States for use in the foreign trade; granting a bonus to owners of ships built in the United States of domes tic material of a sum equal to the amount of duty which would be paid for such material had they been imported, and modification of the navigation laws, so as to remove some other burdens laid on the American merchant marine. The Baltimore corn and flour ex change, the St Paul chamber of com merce, the Cincinnati chamber of commerce, the Minneapolis board of trade, and tho Providence board of trade, in their replies, approve the plan submitted by the council. The New York produce exchange, and the Philadelphia board of trade disap prove. The Milwaukee chamber of commerce, the Chicago board of trade, and the San Francisco chain of commerce approve the plan, except the provision of bonus to owners of vessels constructed in the United States of domestic material.
