A LEADER OF JOURNALISM.
tlprltrht Character of Jauies Gordon
Bennett in the Newspaper World.
The character of James Gordon Ben
nett as a leader oi journalism Is admir
ably summed up In an Interesting ar-
tide by James Creelman, As an edit
or, says the writer, Mr. Bennett Is Im-
, patient of" political control or partner
ship. He scents danger in every ap
iproach, and he will deliberately attack
& party to prove that he Is not under
' Its influence. According to him, an
editor should be a man In. a watch
tower, out of sound and out of reach.
Otherwise there would be conspiracy
. and compr6mise. ' Trivate promises
are to be broken In the public interest.
Friendships are to be regarded as traps
for the editorial conscience. So Mr.
Bennett is a lonely, man in ,a crowd, a
hermit in the midst of bustling life.
I can tell one story that illustrates the
magnificent perversity and shrewish
ness that have preserved the Herald as
a historic example of Incorruptible
Journalism. When Gen. Crespo under
took to overthrow the rotten and tyran
nical government of President Palacio,
he had thirty badly-armed Venezue
lans to follow him. The revolution was
sanctioned by the people, but they were
afraid, at first, to Join Crespo'e 'stand
ard. Gradually, however, he gathered
together a email army, and advanced
upon the government forces. Palacio
and his friends had looted the treasury,
, money was needed to crush the revolt,
and a sum great enough for the pur
poees could only be had In Europe.
About this time an old friend of Mr.
Bennett called upon him In Paris, and
explained that the Venezuelan govern
ment desired to place loan bonds for
many millions of dollars In the Lon
don market. He informed Mr. Bennett
that he was to be the agent of Palacio
in the matter, and. would make a for
tune put of It. Then he asked for the
co-operation of the Herald, on the score
, of old-time friendship, and finally he
announced that if the Herald could be
little the revolutionary cause, and so
stimulate the confidence of bankers In
the government bonds, the transaction
would be worth two or three hundred
thousands dollars to Mr. Bennett At
' this Mr. Bennett smiled grimly.
' "It IS worth a million dollars to the
Herald to know these facts," he said.
"I do not quite understand you,"
6a id the friend. -
"It Is worth $1,000,000 to support the
other side."
' ' "Why, Mr. Bennett, am. I too late?
Have the other men seen you ?"
V No; not at all. But you have given
' me proof that the government of Vene
zuela deserves to fall. It is worth
$1,000,000 to the Herald to be on the
right side. I shall back up the revolu
tion, and let the truth be known to the
"world." : ' '
In Vain the friend pleaded that his
conversation was confidential, and that
anewspaperhad no right to tHke advan
tage of, facts communicated under the
seal of. secrecy.. Within an hour, a cable
message set the v?onderful machlneryx
of the Herald In motion, and day after
day its columns were crowded with
dispatches from special correspondents
In Venezueala, describing thiev yiwovt
the revolutionary army and the weak
ness of the government. These dis
patches were reproduced In all the
European capitals, and Palaclo's bonds
could not find a purchaser. Without
money or credit, the tyrant fell; and:
the first act of Crespo, after he enter-.
' ed Caracas at the head of his victorious:
army, was to send a long cablegram,,
at' the public expense, thanking the
Herald, over his own signature, for Its
services In the cause of liberty and
constitutional government v ,

TO NURSE CANCER PATIENTS.
Heroic Woman in New York Devotes
. Herself to a Noble Cause.
Mrs. Hose Hawthorne Lathrop,
daughter of Nathaniel Hawthorne, has
consecrated her life to a noble cause
the care of poor people afflicted by
cancer. She has opened a place m
New York where she, together with,
another trained nurse, will care for
MRS. BOSB HAWTHORNE LATHROP.
the poor people afflicted with the hor
rible disease, and In time she hopes to
establish a larger and a permanent
home for cancer patients. Speaking
of her work Mrs. Lathrop says:. "Many
people have cancer without recognizing
It. My first plan will be to visit all
cases of sores that come to my knowl-;
edge.' You will be surprised, perhaps,
to know that cases of sore legs are as
common among working women as tho
most familiar disease among children.
An important part of my work will be
to seek these people out, for they are
reticent. In the mornings I shall visit
among them and in . the afternoons
have those who are able come to me.
The rich have everything at their com
mand, but the poor cannot even afford
the remedies, they are so costly. The
hospitals cannot keep a patient more
than six months, then what is to be
come of sufferers from this tedious and
terrible disease?
"When I have demonstrated my
ability as a nurse," she continues, "I
may ask aid of my friends. ' My great
ambition is the establishment of a per
manent home, where patients can, be
kept indefinitely. Such a home would
require funds, but I am confident that
once I prove myself able they will be
forthcoming. For the present I shall
depend upon myself and my own small
means,

A Father's Authority in France.
The father has full and complete au
thority over-them,, and demands strict
forms of respect.. In France a good son.
subordinates the important acts of his
life to his: father's consent,' even more
than he should! in some cases. On the
other hand, the Blind: and tender desire
that all parents,, without exception,,
have of keeping, their children near
them, of not letting their sons wander
tbout the world', or. risk the patrlniony
of their ancestors, has brought about ai.
mania for finding employment in gov
ernment offices In preference to embrac
ing a liberal career. The whole nation,
has the same stay-at-home and exclu
sive tastes. This permits foreigners to-'J
bring France all mat is worst among
them, while it does not send her sons
to seek the great and good things there
may be in iOther countries. If a life of
verpetual wandering finally becomes
useless and sterile, it is equally true
that it is debilitating and unwholesome
never to have a change of air. French
men do not seem to notice this. Cen

NORA AND BILL WERE WED.
Bride Comments on the Lonely Lot
of the Judge.
"Bring in Nora Reeves and BUI
Drake," said Judge Berry of the Second
division of the city court, and a look
of solemnity settled upon the face of
the young Judicial officer as he prepar
ed to perform his first marriage cere
mony. "Your honor," said Mr. D. R. Keith,
one of the lawyers present', "I think
this occasion should be made as bril
liant as possible, and I hope your honor
will appoint the attendants."
"You are right, Mr. Keith," replied
the Judge, "and f think it would be
nothing but proper for the sheriff to
act as best man and for the clerk and
Mr. Walker to act as attendants."
These preliminary arrangements ha v
ing been completed, -the door was open
ed and Bill Drake, a simple-looking
negro, who wore drab-colored pants
and a faded Jacket of blue much too
short for him, came snickering Into tha
room, followed by Nora Reeves, a great
mountain of black flesh that loomed
formidably above the little negro In
front of her. .
"Have you ever been married ?" asked
the Judge, turning to the man.
"Yesser, I wuz married one time,"
replied the negro.
"Well, Where's your wife?",
"She wuz dald, Jedge, de las' time I
heered fum her." ,
"And you haven't heard from her
since?"
"No, sah; nalr wurd."
"Have you ever been married, Nora?"
asked the Judge, turning to the woman.
She snickered, . shook her bead and
laughed to herself.
"Nora, take the arm of Blll,"sald the
Judge. . ;
"Oh, g'way, Jedge; I doan wan'ter
tek de arm er dat ole nigger," said the
woman. There was much laughter at
this throughout the court room, but;
Judge Berry repeated his command:
"Take the arm of BUI." ,
. "Have you got a license, Bill?" asked
the Judge, and Bill, from the Inside
pocket of his vest, pulled out a license.
"Bill," said Judge Berry, in Ms most
ministerial tone, "do you recognize the
wise dictates of Providence that ft Is
not good for man to live alone, and also
that it Is the duty of man to mulOpJy
and replenish the earth?" . '
"Yasser, Jedge," said Bill, ferventlyi
"Do you?" continued the Judge, "take
this woman to be your lawfully weddedi
wife, to protect and cherisih, to care for
her In sickness and in hearth ' until
death you doth part?"
"Yasser, Jedge."
"Nora," said the Judge, turning tothe
woman, "do you agree to take this man
to be your lawfully wedded husbftnd
for better or for worse, to care for him'
In sickness and In health, to love, honor
and obey until death yon doth part?"
"I now pronounce you man and wife,"'
said the Judge, and some Irreverent by
stander said, In a low tone of voice:
"And may the Lord have mercy on
your souls."

PORTLAND LETTER.
Politics the One Absorbing Topic of
Conversation in State Metropolis '
Another "Moral Wave."
Special Correspondence. '
Portland, Or., Oct. 28. Perhaps the
funniest thing in all this campaign is a
paper in favor of silver written by a
wife in answer to a paper in favor of
gold by her husband.
Bufus Mallory ' is a distinguished
lawyeiof this city. : He is the partner
of Joe Simon, the famous politician.
The firm used to be Dolph, Mallory &
Simon. Since the senator's defeat he
has withdrawn from the firm, and or
ganized a new firm composed of himself
and his son and his son-in-law.
Mr. Mallory is a forcible speaker,
and he is an ardent gold man. His
wife, Mrs. Lucy S. Mallory, is a friend
of silver. She publishes a bi-monthly
oalled "The World's Advance Thought
and the Universal Republic " In the
Spetember-October issue, the editor,
Mrs. Mallory, publishes a paper by her
husabnd, Kufus Mallory, enittled "The
Gold Standard;" and in the same issue
Mrs. Mallory replies to her husband in
an editorial under the caption, "The
Silver Question. "
It is not for me to say who gets the
best of the argument, bnt it is no favor
itism to say that the wife ''argufies"
pretty lively against "her august lord
and master," as the queen speaks of the
king. ; ' .
This letter is sent to several papers,
and probably before it appears in some
of the papers to which I sell it, the
election will have oome and gone, and
many hopes on one side or the other
will have been blasted.; This much it
may however, be permitted me to say:
that whiohever side wins, this republio
will live, and times will, be better for
us, because owing to short food, crops
in many parts of the world, there will
be a stronger demand for our abund
ance, and, consequently, much better
prices for food produots. Other misfor
tunes will benefit us.
sorry for thosu other, I
Whilst I am
needs must be
glad for "we uns."
The latest "big gun" to talk politics
in Portland was Mr. Boutelle, of
Maine, and member of the house of
representatives of congress. ... By the
by, why is it tha- a member of the
house is always spoken of as a con-,
gresBman? A senator is also a congress
man. Congress is oomposed of the two
bodies, the house of representatives and
the senate; and a member of either
body is a congressman. In old times
whenever one spoke or wrote of con
gress, he always prefixed it with "the"
"the congress. " . - - , ...
That's a side remark. Mr. Boutelle
is a man of fine presence and excellent
voice. When I heard him debate in
the house, be was rather "vigorous,"
and he is a great waver of the "bloody
shirt." Those Maine men are very
Union, and they have hardly yet for
gotten the war. There was an im
mense crowd to . hear the son of the
Pine Tree State. Probably five thou
sand people were crowded in the -Exposition
hall to hear him. He made a
dignified, argumentative speech, but he
lacked the smoothness of . Ben Butter
worth, nor was be so "hale fellow,
well met," as was Ben Tillman.' -
Do yon ever have a "moral wave"
in your town? Every now and then,
we have one here. . Just now there is
a great olamor for the rigid enforce
ment of the law which says saloons
shall close at 1 A. M. It seems that
those saloons that have no business af
ter midnight have become awfully vir
tuons, and they have organized to spy
on those who have business later. Of
course, every law ought to be enforced;
but I modestly confess that I am not
very warm in my sympathy for the
"motive" that inspires the new move
in behalf of "good citizenship. " Jeal
ousy is truly an ugly toad, whether it
be as to love or to liquor.
It is not known much outside oi Port
land that the publio library here has a
very fine set of plaster casts of the best
pieces of ancient statuary. It cost
110,000, and it is the gift of ex-United
States Senator H. W. Corbett. The
casts are in a beautiful gallery on the
second floor of the magnificent library
building, also a gift to the city, by a
lady now dead. Yet I doubt if over a
thousand Portlanders have seen those
statues, although admission is free sev
eral times a week.
Portland is getting to be quite a club
town. We have the Arlington, an ex
clusive aristocratic affair with rather
limited membership of the upper ten
whioh leaves me out. Then there is
the Multnomah Athletio Club, which
like the 'Arlington, has a building ex
clusively for its own use. The Arling
ton Club owns its building, but the
Multnomah leases its. The Concordia
Club is comprised exclusively of He
brews. It has an entire second floor of
a handsome two-story building facing
the Oregonian's tall tower. The Com
mercial Club is oomposed of business
men, and it occupies the entire top
floor of the Chamber of' Commerce.
This is a gastronomio affair. It is
composed of business men and profes
sional men. It is the club that usually
entertains distinguished visitors,
though when I came here there was
nothing said to indicate, as far as I am
concerned, that the club knew any
thing about what the Governor 'of
North Carolina said to the Governor
of Sooth Carolina. , EZEKIEL.
