THE END OF A WANDERER. £ Philadelphian with a History Dying in a New York Charity Hospital. A New York letter to the Philadelphia Press says: J. S. Oakford, a member of one )£ the oldest families of Philadelphia, whose incestor came ox er with William Pena, was paralyzed on May 13 at his lodgings on West Thirty-third street, this city, and last Sun jay he was taken to the Roosevelt hospital, foil now he is in a dying condition in a jliarity ward of that institution. The writer, who has been in the habit of leeing him every day at the Lorraine Library, having missed him for several lays, called at his lodging to inquire for him uid there ascertained the above fact. He had occupied a room in the house for icvoral months, but spent most of his time it the Hotel Brunswick. No person ever jailed at his lodgings, and his landlady lever heard him mention the name of any Iriend. When he was first taken sick, he cut a telegram to a brother in Philadelphia, jut he could not be found. Mr. Oakford lias mingled all his life with he best society of Europe and America, and low he is dying like a pauper in a charity lospital. “Few men, certainly few Americans, have een life under so many varied and striking ispects as I have. My reminiscences would ill a volume. I have dined with princes, upped with prize fighters, traded with In lians, attended the receptions of Kings and Emperors, entertained Presidents and acted us a* squire of damsels in distress,” said Mr. jakford to me the other day. He is a man of three score years and five, t perfect man of the world in his dress and uldress. His whole appearance possessed hat indescribable air which we always find u those who have been long accustomed o mingle in the best society. Pressed for urther details my chance" acquaintance aid: PIERCE IN ENGLAND. ••When ex-President Pierce visited Eng and after his retirement I happened to be lying at Sydenham, a few miles out of Lon lon. I had then a charming villa near the Crystal Palace for a year; in fact the grounds adjoined those of the palace.” “How lid the Pre- ident enjoy his visit to Eng and!” “He was like a schoolboy off on a lolidny. He was delighted with everything. [ never shall forget the day I gave him a iinner at Greenwich. We rode down in an jpen carriage and the ex-President ivas so effusive on the occasion that ihe very boys on the streets of London noticed it. He threw his inns around my neck and in this strange fashion drove down Piccadilly, and I was really ashamed of the undignified conduct jf our distinguished countryman. Gen. Campbell, of Texas, whom Pierce had ap jointed American Consul'at London, was iving near town and we went to the Derby og?ther. The General was an old cam jaigner, had fought in the Texan war of inde pendence, and, although nearly 80 years old it the time he was in England, was as straight is an Indian and as game as a Mohawk. When he arrived in England, Beverley Tucker, who was at the time our Consul at Liverpool, had very kindly accompanied lim up to London after securing rooms for aim at Horley’s Hotel. They arrived in town about 7 o’clock one evening, and liter stopping in their rooms only long sin nigh to make a hasty toilet, they de scended to the dining-room. After dinner Campbell went at once to his rooms, while Tucker remained below to give some in structions about the baggage. Going up stairs in a couple of minutes he found Gen. Campbell in a strange room parleying with i lady. It appears that he had missed his oom, and seeing the lady enter one he had allowed her, and Tucker heard him say as se came up: ‘My good woman, can you te 1 . lie where room sixty-five is j” Tucker dr< w sim out of the apartment and whispered to dm: ‘Do you know who that lady is? ‘No, thought she was one of the ■hambemiaids of the hotel.’ ‘You have made a dreadful mistake. That ady is the Countess of Erroll,’ and before Tucker could stop him the old General had rushed back' and apologized for his mistake, saying that he had taken her for a chamber maid. When Tucker met Campbell next morning he told him that the unfortunate mistake of tho previous evening had been communicated to the Earl of Erroll, and that he was terribly angry that his lady had been taken for a ckamljermaid, and was going to challenge the American who had Been guilty of such conduct. ‘I will fight,’ said the General, ‘but I really hail no inten tion of insulting the lady.’ After keeping up the joke for some time, Tucker told Campbell that the duel was only a hoax. TIIE MAN -WHO WHIPPED SAYRES. “Speaking of Tucker reminds me of a supper we once took with Lanhum, the only Englishman who had ever whipped Tom Sayres. It was soon after the famous fight between Hetman and Sayres for tho interna ionad championship. Lanham had retired from the ’profession’ at that time, and was keeping a public house somewhere in the neighljorhotxl of the Haymarket. The grent roki between Heenan and Sayres had turned public attention to other heroes of the prize ring, and we washed to hear from Lanham’s ow n lips an account of his fight with Sayres. He told us that he won the fight by persist ently pegging away at Sayre’s nose until he completely blinded him. Tucker - in sisted upon Lanham showing how he had managed to ‘draw the claret’ every time. The ex-prize-fighter stood up, and, striking out straight from the shoulder, came within ail inch of Tucker’s nose every time.” “Did you ever see Tom Sayres?’ “Yes; I called to see him a few days after his fight with Heenan. His face was dread fully battered; in fact, he looked as though he had fallen from a balloon head foremost. He would have been killed had not his friends and backers broken into the ring and stopped the light, for Heenan had knocked him over the rope, and his neck " ns caught, while the Benicia boy was rain ing blow after blow upon his upturned face. Heenan was also punished very badly, and for several days after the null was com pletely Mind, while his haiuls were so swollen that they looked as though lie had on boxing-gloves.” “Did you ever see Count Cavour?” I asked. “Yes; I saw him at a reception given in Paris at the time of the signing of the Treaty of Puris. He was short, stout and square-shouldered; his eyes and forehead alone marked him as a distinguished man. In striking contrast was Prince Orloff, the Russian Aml>assador;he was tail, showy apd blazing with orders and decorations. I was hi uindon at the time. Mr. Cranipton, the British Minister, and the British consuls were dismissed for enlisting mon to serve in the British army during the Crimean war. lor a few weeks war between the United Mates and England seemed inevitable, and mr. Dallas, our minister at the Court of St. Janies, expected every day to receive his passport. At length the matter wus brought before the House of Commons, on n motion of Lord John Russell, inquiring as to what action the government intended to take. Lord Palmerston arose, and in a lew well chosen sentences, said the govern ment had decided not to take any action in the matter. As soon as this decision was Announced I hurried from tho house, jumped , ’ a unhand drove rapidly to the residence ii o Julias and had the pleasure of being the 1 1 mt to tell him that ho would not ho com | Killed to leave England. jyh, yes, I knew Henry Wykoff very we (l .

In this way he realized from #30,000 to #30,000 in a few months.” HOW HE SAW BROUGHAM. “Did you ever meet Lord Brougham*” “Yes, and under very singular circum stances. I was escorting Mrs. Semple, the daughter of ex-President Tyler, from Lon don to Liverpool, where she was going to embark for America. We took the train at Euston station. After placing her in i? car I left her to look after the luggage. I was in a hurry, as I did not like to leave the Indy long in a ear all alone, and entering a room I saw a man writing at a desk whom I thought was one of the station officials. I said to him: ‘My good man, I want you to label my luggage, and I am in a great hurry, for there is a lady waiting for me.’ He turned around with a scowl and rudely or dered mo out of the room. Whereupon I naturally became very angry and told him I should report him if he did not instantly attend to my order. Thereupon he juin[)ed up and tried to force me out of the room. In the midst of the altercation the station master came along and I began to complain of the insolent official. He drew me aside and whispered that I had made a dreadful mistake, that the gentleman was Lord Brougham, who had gone into the room to write a letter. He was at that time an old man of 70 at least; he wore a long brown coat, and neither looked nor acted like a lord.” SINGULAR TAXES. Payment Demanded for Births, Win dow Glass, Polls, Wool and Noncon formity. From the Philadelphia News. Of all the taxes ever imposed on the peo-- pie the “birth-tax” was tho most odious. It lasted thirteen years, dating from 1695. Every person not in receipt of alms was re quired to pay 2s. for every “little stranger” that came into existence. The tax was a great burden to the lower orders; but the nobility and gentry were subjected to still heavierpayments than their poorer neigh bors. Thirty pounds had to be paid on the birth of a child of a Duke, This sum grad ually diminished according to a certain fixed scale, until it reached 10s., the amount levied on real-estate of £SO, or personal es tates of £6OO and upward. Contemporane ously with this “birth tax” there existed an other, called “the bachelor’s tax. ” It was not a very heavy imposition, and was probably intended to be as much a reminder of their duty as a means of “raising the wind,” which WilUam 111. so often stood in need of. As soon as a man reached the age of 25 he was liable to the tax, which was Is. yearly till he took to himself a spouse. But it did not stop with bachelors, for it taxed widowers without children. Besides the shilling every person had to pay an amount according to his rank for the luxury (or otherwise) of single blessedness; thus a Duke or an Archbishop w as amerced in the yearly sum of £l2 10s., an esquire £2 55., a gen tleman ss. Social distinctions were nicely drawn then. There Is nothing British people pride themselves in so much as their desirefor sani tary arrangements best suited for the health of the general community. Air, light and cleanliness is the triad of the reformers. “Introduce these,” say they, “and many difficulties regarding health will be simpli fied.” But what would such ardent reform ers say if such a proposttion were to arise advising the taxation of window glass* The idea would be spurned, yet there was a time when glass was taxed, so tliat light, free to all, did not penetrate tne Briton’s house without being paid for. The tax was a graded one, according to the number of windows.” The first tax ever imposed on England was the one levied by Julius Caesar. When this brave w’arrior had subdued the warlike races of Southern Britain he ordered the chiefs of the various clans to send annually to Rome a given number of men and wild animals—the former, he said, would lie re tained as hostages and the latter would he used for the great fights in the Colesseum. But very often tho men and the wild ani mals were put on an equal footing and forced to fight each other* in sight of the bloodthirsty and applauding Romans. Taxation in kina was formerly common. An English King or General passing • through any part of England with his army could provide for soldiers and horses simply by demading supplies from the people who happened to lie in the line of his march, and for these provisions no money was given in return. Labor was also taxed in kind; la borers and tradesmen hail often to give their, gratis to the King, and sometimes even to nobles. It was in this way that many of the great palaces in England were built. Windsor Castle may be cited as an example. When the English, in tho reign of Edgar the Peaceable, conquered Wales, they levied a tax on the Welsh. It was a very "unique one. Instead of a money tribute the con quered people had annually to hand over to. the English King 300 wolves’ heads, a plan which in four years cleared their forests of those wild annuals, and thus more safety was secured for both man and domestic ani mals. About the fourteenth century the poll tax was imposed, It consisted in the payment of Is. annually bj* every one above the ago of 15. No distinction was made—rich and poor were amenable to tho same amount. Great discontentment followed its Imposi tion and the discontentment spread into open rebellion. Nothing in bygone days seemed to escape taxation: thus, at one time wool was heavily taxed, l’he cause of all these demands for money arose from tho ambitious desires of the English Kings. They longed to rulo not only England, hut France and other conti nental nations as well. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth tlio Eng lish Parliament paused an act of uniformitv, ordering ail those who should refuse to fie Episcopalians or should absent themselves from church on Sum lays to pay a tax of Is. a year. In those days religious toleration was at a very low ebb. “CRANK” IS NOT SLANG. It Is a Colloquial Expression of Vener able Standing. From '.he Boston Record. The word crank, denoting a whimsical person, is not slang, but an American collo quialism that came into sudden prominence in 1881, when tho New York Herald saw fit to account for the murderer of President Garfield by calling him “a crank.” This application of the word, however, was not now, Mrs. Stowe's “Dred,” vol. I, page 317 (published in 1856) makes one or her characters say: “If you strong etectioners didn’t think you were among the elect you wouldn’t be so crank pet] about it.” Hero tho word means opinionative, narrow, ca pricious, uncompromising or absurd. Car lyle gives three synonyms in tho phrase “dim of vision, violent of temper, subject to sudden cranks [notions or conceits].” Mil ton uses tho won! pleasantly in tho “AUe gro,” about 1636: Haste thee, nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful jollity, Quips and ernuks (sudden conceits] and wanton wiles. Nods and liecks, and wreathed smiles. In his “Divorce” of 1641 he uses the word Ires pleasantly, remarking that the ways of the Lord are net “full of crunks [sudden and rotary motions] and contradictions.” The foundation of all these meanings is the crank in ’mechanics, being a combination or a shaft to be turned ny a web fastened to it in a boss and tnined by a pin or wrist (see E. 11. Knight’s "Mechanical Dictionary,” vol. i., istgcs 645-6). Persons who have turned the crank of a deep well, and let go too soon, will understand the meaning of obstinacy. A crank is used in children’s shows, and ac count* also for the expression "a crank ship”—that is, a ship liable to roll over as if turned by a crank. Longfellow used this ex pression in his “Building of the Ship,” 29, where he speaks of "the Great Harry, crank and tall,” which his shipbuilder is not going to copy. T4Kz-“EmWtnnp:iKllf Dictionary” is curiously* mistaken in giving the Word in this pturkgu tho sense of mighty or strong. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY* MAY 23. 1887. The idea of whimsicality is suggested by the novel sights produced in petty shows by the mere turning of a crank. In Shakespeare the idea of winding or zigzag motions only is as sociated with the crank: “The cranks and offices of man” (Coriol. i, 1, 141); [the hare] “cranks and crosses with a thousand doubles” (Venus and Adonis, 682): and “see how this river comes me cranking in” (1 Henry IV. iii., 1, 98). All applications of the word seem to emanate from the Anglo-Saxon verb cringan or crincan, which means to turn or wind, and was used also of persons dying in battle because they writhe. A crank wit is a nimble wit or a wit that turns round quickly. Spenser, speaking of “a cocke on liis dunghill crowing crank,” meant crowing with a brisk turning of the head. The dictionaries without an excep tion are unsatisfactory on this rather simple word, which recurs in cringe (to turn a lit tle) and crinkle (to twist slightly). But all difficulties cease by beginning with the origi nal Saxon meaning—to turn or to wind. If there are applications or combinations of the word not thus explained, which are they t Judge H. W. Blodgott, of Chicago, has re cently ruled, in Walker vs. Tribune Com pany, in the United States Circuit Court (see the Heporter , published by Houghton, Mifflin & Cos., April 27.1887), that to “call a person a ‘crank is not in it self actionable.” The learned Judge adds that crank “is not a word which, by its common meaning in the English language, imports that a person has boon guilty of a crime. * * The word has no necessary defamatory meaning.” The plaintiff, a lawyer, urged that by calling him a crank the Chicago Tribune had placed him in the same category as the as sasiii of President Garfield. Judge Blodgett rejected this argument by quoting the defini tion of the term as given in the Imperial Dictionary. This decision is justified by the history of the word as just presented and by its origin. Guiteau was called a crank in the sense that he was a fool of one idea, which upset his judgment aud prevented him from acting as should persons whose minds are not “twisted,” who do-notact whimsically, and whose movements are not like those of the crank in a children’s show. ONLY A BRAKEMAN KILLED. A Plea for the Faithful Men who Risk Their Lives Dally. From the Chicago Herald. An instance of the cruelty of our modern civilization and its infinitely diversified ap pliances and customs is found in the fact that the death of a railroad employe, through one of the minor casualties of bis calling, is no longer considered worth men tion in the news columns of a metropolitan newspaper; or, if mentioned at all, a line is generally sufficient to chronicle the bare fact, details being utterly neglected. In the dispatches it used to be: “By a broken rail several freight cars were thrown off the track near this place last night and their contents, consisting of valuable merchandise, almost destroyed. The loss of the company wiU reach #15,000. • Passenger trains were delayed nearly am hour. A rigid investigation will follow. One brakeman was killed.” Formerly minor accidents to employes were telegraphed to city papers, but now all' correspondents are instructed to omit send ing intelligence • concerning the common accidents of the rail, in which employes only suffer, unless the fatalities number more than one or some unusual circum stance or causes, are present. Almost every week some railroad employe loses his life or limb in the Chi cago railroad yards without any mention of the casualty being made in the city papers. This seems cruel, but the truth is that this sort of news is rarely worth print ing. As the world goes, these items are un important, and newsmen neglect them. But with passengers it is quite different. The commonest accident involving the sufety of a passenger or injury to his person is care fully investigated and reported. And just now the papers are filled with articles de manding that the death-dealing stove shall be banished, that safety gates be put up at all crossings, and .that everylpossible pre caution be taken to secure safety for the traveling public and for pedestrians and street travelers who must cross railroad tracks. But not a word is heard in behalf of the employes, w hom tho juggernauts of the rail are slaughtering and maiming by the thousands every year. “Only a brakeman billed!” What a story the figures of a railway tell—and, after all, there is nothing like cold figures to point a moral or tell a tale. In Massai hu-. setts last year only one passenger in 7,584,258 was killed and one In 2,166,931 injured. This ratio is not an alarming One, but when we come to employes the ratio is very differ ent. There were 274 casualties to employes, 63 of which were fatal. On the Fitchburg road one employe out of every 81 was injured. On other roads about one in 1:20. Most of these casualties were in coupling or uncoupling cars. Forty-eight, or nearly one a week, were injured in this way on one .road. One can, therefore, readily believe that on almost any of our larger railways of the West a man a day is the average ratio of the rapacious demon of car-coupling. Next comes casualties to train men from falling from trains—over one a week in the whole State of Massachu setts, and probably twice or thrice as many in Illinois. Take the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road for a home instance, anil than the Burlington there is no better nmn aged road in the world. In a recent year this road carried in Illinois 2,770,000 passen gers. Half n dozen of these were injured and none killed. Of the 1,500 engineers, fire men, brakemen, baggagemen, switchmen and conductors employed in Illinois more than 200 were killed or injured. In fully one-fourth of the cases the demon coupling was tho agent of injury or death. All along the line of every railway in tho coun try, and particularly in the division station towns, where many railway em ployes live, will lie found small armies of widows, orphans and maimed men. Arrested for Brushing a Fly from His Nose. From the New York Evening Run. As the bearskin companies stood in the Garfield circle on Thursday at the unveiling of the statue, the hot sun made the boys wilt, and a good many hats camooff. "We would put those men under arrest if they were regulars,” said an old officer on tho platform. “You bet,” replied another, “I sat on a court-martial at West Point when a cadet was tried for brushing a fly off his nose while on parade.” “Who was that?’ “That little rooster over there in front dressed in a brass foundry.” “What! Phil Sheridanf” “No other. And he got throe days for it, too.” fliioEK. W. L.
