BlijL NYE MEETS A CITIZEN.
tie Draws From Him 3 Sad Story of
Modern Journalism.
From the -Yea* York HI irltl,
Qji board a day coach of the great trunk
line running from tiio Battery via Sixth
avenue to Harlem 1 fell in the other day
with a highly cultivated old gentleman who
now resides in Brooklyn. Together we en
joyed the delightful stretch of dark-red
scenery and advertisements which greet
the enraptured eye along this great scenic
route. Together wo inhaled the thousand
odors of hot, sour alleys, and damp cellars,
and together we looked into the second
story rooms where poverty lay panting in
the awful heat that bad accumulated all
(jay anil now shut, down with the night like
a stifling garment.
He said something and then I said some
thing, and before long we were conversing
with each other. A grout many conversa
tions have no doubt originated m this way.
Incidentally we got to talking about
the press and what u great influence it
wielded, and so forth, and then lie said if I
would never mention his name he would
tell mo of an incident that occurred some
years ago when he first came to New York.
He said:
"I generally aim to let t he papers alone if
they’ll let me alone, but when I first came
here a friend of mine brought me n slip that
he hud chit out of a prominent morning
paper in which my name was used in a way
that made mo mad. While there was no
gross misstatement of facts, my name was
handled in a way I despise, and" so 1 went
right down to the office of the paper. Be
fore I wont I told my wife about the piece
ami that I was going down to see about it.
•she saw that I was excited and she became
alarmed. She hung on to me quite a while
and said she wished I wouldn’t go. We had
always got along so well, and since we had
been married 1 had never killed anybody,
and she wished I would take her advice and
uot go, but I was thoroughly indig
nant and mad. So I went down, and
at the counter 1 asked to see the editor.
“The young man at the window where I
went was counting the words in a ‘Want’
advertisement, and it was a long time be
fore 1 could get bis eye. Then he said in a
brief, cold way that the editorial rooms
were on the fifth floor. I did not like his
way, and I would have been glad to lick
him if I could have got over into his cage,
but I couldn’t. Then T went to the eleva
tor. I was going to get in, but the elevator
hoy, who weighed about nineteen pounds,
put his hand against my person and gently
pushed mo out.
“ ‘You can’t go upstairs without stating
your name and your business and who you
want to see. Here is a card that you can
fill out ’
“I knew my own name, of course, and
could put that on the card; also my busi
ness. but 1 didn’t know tho name of a
blamed man on the paper. All 1 could do
was to say that 1 wanted to see ‘the editor.’
That was a kind of a general statement, but
I thought it would bo all right. Meantime
the elevator had made several trips, and I
could feel my collar getting soft. I was
still mad, blit I had to control myself, so I
asked the elevator boy if he would mind
t.'.k.ug that up to the editor, and I gnvo him
the card.
“He said I would have to be more explicit,
If 1 wanted the city editor, or the marine
editor, or the literary editor, or the birth
and death editor, or the polo edi
tor, or the scrapping editor, I would
find them in, but, the managing editor
and the telegraph editor and tho night edi
tor and the mirth editor and the bathing ed
itor were all out.
“I did not know who I ought to see,
but I got desperate and sent up my card to
the scrapping editor. It was a wild thing
to do, but I did it, for I thought I could see
him, and if I did not feel like lighting him I
could postpone it the way other pugilists
did
“I had to wait quite awhile before I
could see the fighting editor, for he was busy
with some other men who, I presume, had
dropped in to lick him early, so as to be
home for lunch.
“Finally I went in and found a small,
good uatured man that I could have han
dled without any trouble, but when I stated
my business he said that it was not in his
line at all, but that I ought to go to the city
editor. By that time tho city editor had
gone to lunch. I waited for him till I c'i
so hungry myself that I thought I voli
tall apart.
“When he came he had about nineteen
men to talk to all at once for an hour or so;
then he let me in and I told him what the
trouble was. He didn't remember any such
story in the paper as I spoke about, but
would find out about it and see what re
jiorter handed it in. Meantime he would
advise me to write out a statement of my
side of the case and leave it there. He
would investigate the matter when the re
porters got in in tho evening.
“1 went to a long table and wrote most all
the afternoon on a piece which was not so
scathing when I got through with it as I
thought, it was going to bo, so 1 tore it up.
Then I wrote another one. It was quite
bitter, but not so bitter as I wished it had
been. It had tamo places in it where it
seemed to all flatten out and fail to get
there. I never suffered mentally so much
in my life und now and then when I wiped
toy brow ou the tail of iny linen coat I could
see that the city editor seemed to enjoy it.
By dusk I hod completed oil article that was
carefully written, aud yet 1 did not expect
that, it would be copied very much. It was
inclined to be ornate in its system, and still
there were words in it like ‘eggrogious,’ for
instance, that I didn’t fool sure l had spelled
right. It was now night, and 1 went home,
leaving my article for the morning [wiper
and feeling proud that I was getting
mixed up with literature.
“My wife was anxious to find out if I had
any 1 tody’s gore on iny hands before I went
into dinner, hut I convinced her that my
heart, iyu still pure ami guiltless, but that 1
had written a piece for the paper that would
•wnP l,| wn in the morning.
‘Hint night I didn’t sleep much, and in
the morning 1 got up early and waited
around the corner for u paper. 1 looked it
through hurriedly, but didn’t find iny piece,
•nest everything else was there but that,
however, it was crowded outl Probably
‘•lie mush-und-niilk-sociable editor had a
piece that he wanted to run in in placoof it,
and owing to his influence bo had succeeded.
1 was greatly irritated, f had lost one day
"’"in m\ business, hut I decided to go down
t > the office again and see what, the matter
'vas.
“1 his time I got to the city editor at once,
put it w as another man. The city editor I
hud wen the day before had gone to Coney
fund, so I hud to go through the same
Jhing all over again, 110 thought 1 hud
better write a statement that would show
hiv side of the case, und then he would usk
tpc reporters who it was that, had handed in
l “> story and we would have it rectified
tonic way.
"He was a very pleasant man, but I told
""i 1 had spent the day before writing a
ted hot rebuke which had not been printed,
1 id I could not give my whole time to
k'tinmlirai. | told him that 1 was in tho

U: ‘.v sud take the brunt of editing that
I 'per, specially when my stuff didn’t get
fruited.
"but he said if I would write another
"otenmut lie would promise that it should

’ ■> or now I would no doubt write a better
'" '■e. Ho I was fool enough to write
toother flapdoodle card for the pajier. It
•' k me till M:3O, and as near as I call re
p. mlvr simply proved over myown slgna
;Br that I waK an ice-cream man who as

’ hen 1 took it in totheclty editor he asked
■ ie it 1 hud the slip cut from tho pajier to

sikifi it over a moment, and then he said:

“ y°ui‘ defense, for this slip i cut out of
B * ae other paper. I don’t kuow what paper
it, is, but we haven’t got any such type a*
that in our office.’
“He then stated that he would not detain
11 e any longer, and I don’t believe he could
if lie had wanted to. I went down the
stairs rather than meet the elevator boy
again, and soon found myself on the street.
I bought niy wife anew dress on the way
homo, and told her 1 hud thought better of
my assassination scheme on her account.
“That was ten years ago,’’ said the old
man, as ho arose to go, “and although I
have not always done right, I can truly say
that the gore of no newspaper man is onmy

SHE MARRIED A “COUNT.”
Discovered in an Insimo Asylum-
Peculiar Duties of a Foreign Consul.
IVashiiigtan Special to Detroit JWbtoie.
“No one who has not had practical ex
perience has any idea of tho various duties
which a Consul representing his country
abroad is required to perform,” saul Dr. St.
Clair, the able Chief of the Consular Bureau
of the State Department to your correspond
ent yesterday. “Not oniv have they to look
after the commercial interests of their coun
try, but they have to attend to some of the
queerest kinds of requests from their coun
trymen at homo. It has more than once
been tho case that a Consul has been ap
plied to purchase peculiar animals found m
the country to which they are accredited,
all the way from elephants to rare kinds of
lizards.
Very frequently they are asked to collect
a number of specimens of the sea-shells
peculiar to their part of the world. Only a
short time ago wo received a request from a
gentleman in Kentucky asking that the
Consul at Barcelona, in Spain, procure for
him a fine specimen of the native ass for
breeding purposes, the gentleman being
under the impression thut that animal at
tained to a largo size in Spain. The request
was forwarded, and the Kentuckian has
since received a very fine animal of the
donkey kind.
But the more frequent requests outside of
the purely commercial duties of the Consul
are of a purely private and family kind. If
a son, daughter, husband or Wife goes as
tray, or if information is required of the
whereabouts of a person of any degree of
relationship to the inquirer in a foreign
country, application is at once made to the
representatives of this country nearest the
place where the missing person is supposed
to be, and the Consul is asked to look him
up. Some very startling romances have
been unearthed in this way through the con
sular agencies. That was a strange case
which was unearthed some time ago in
Florence, Italy, by Mr. A. Schuyler Crosby,
who was then United States Consul at that
place. One dav ho was conducting a party
of Americans through the principal places
of interest iii the city, and among the places
visited was the insane Asylum. As the
parti' was going through tho wards one of
the inmates of the institution suddenly called
out to Mr. Crosby:
“Oh, sir: you are an American, are you
not? For God’s sake come here and listen
to mi' story. ” Mr. Crosby went to the cell
from whence the piteous appeal came, and
sa v behind the bar a woman much emacia
ted, but ap) m rentlv sane. He listened to
her story, and, after making inquiries, set
himself to work to procure her release, in
which he succeeded after a great deal of
trouble.
The woman’s story was as follows: She
was born in Mobile, of wealthy parents,
and, being attractive in anpoarance, she had
a number of suitors for her hand in mar
riage. One day an Italian came to tho city,
he was handsome, and wrote the prefix
“Count” before his name. He soon got him
self introduced into the liest circles of Mo
bile society and. by his pleasant and courte
ous bearing, became a great favorite among
the ladies of the place. He became a con
stant visitor at the house of Miss , the
subject ot’ this story, and intimacy began to
ripen into love on the part of tiie young
girl. Tho parents did not approve of tho
match, but the handsome Italian portrayed
to the Jove-smitten girl in glowing terms the
wealth of his affection for ner and the beau
ties of the lovely Florentine nomo which he
wished her to become tho mistress of. At
last his entreaties were successful, and the
young girl was married to the “Count”
secretly. When the girl’s parents hoard of
it thev were enraged. Her father refused
to have anything to do with her, and in
stead of giving her the fortune he had in
tended to be hers settled on her the sum of
*3,000 a year. The young couple started for
Euivqie, but it sisui became apparent to the
wife that her husband was not only not in
love with her, but that his only object in
marrying her was to procure her fortune,
and having failed in that through tho
anger of her father, had no more use for
her.
Shortly after reaching Florence tbo
“Count” had three physicians called in and
they made an examination of the young
girl, much to her surprise and terror. On
the following day a covered wagon came to
the door und she was told to get inside.
When sho refused she was seized from tie
hind aud rudely bound and bandaged. Slio
fainted, and when she recovered she found
herself in the insane asylum. There she
remained for over two years, until she was
found by Mr. Crosby. Meanwhile the hus
band, wiio had caused her incarceration,
wrote home to the girl’s parents that sho
was very sick, and described the expense he
was putting himself to in order to take prop
er care of tho girl he loved so well. The
father was too proud to allow him to hear
the lull expense of his daughter s illness
under tiie circumstances, and sent along
regular remittances. The “Count” paid sso<i
to the asylum for the keep of his wife, and
lived in good style upon the remaining
*1,500. As soon as the news reached Mo
bile of the true state of affairs, however, tho
remittances suddenly stepped, and the young
girl was received homo with open nrms.
The “Count” is still living in Florence, but
lms to resort to other means of earning a
living.
The Time When Barnum Set ’Em Up.
From the Chicago Herald.
At that dinner a story was told of Bar
num: “He is a teninerauco mini now,” said
one of the party, “but I remember when ho
get up tiie drinks for a distinguished crowd.
Ho didn’t do it out of pure good nature
c it,her. it was twenty-six years ago at tho
Profile House, in tho Franconia Mountains.
Barnum was feeling pretty smart in those
days, and he had been playing iris jokes and
eute tricks rather freely about the house. A
lot of guests sat on the piazza of tho hotel.
Among them were Commodore Vanderbilt,
William 11. Vanderbilt, another of tho fam
ily, Gov. Gilmore's son, John Hyde, tiie ar
list, Barnum and a number of others, iu

lively voting eiiap then, but lie ha. deterio
rated and become a minister sine •. Gilmoro
put up the job and letu.mil into it. He
twisted the talk around to physical prowess,
and got Barnum to brag about how fast ho
could run. „ . . , ,
“Across the plateau in front of tho hotel
wo* a rail to which horses were tied. Gii
moro proposed that we all start from tho
piazza and run to the rail, and that tlm last
man to touch the rail with Ins hand pay for
the drinks for the crowd. Everybody agreed,
and wo get into litre, all except, the Commo

DEAD WITH HIS DOG.
Grief-Stricken Over His Pet's Death, 3
Boy Commits Suicide.
From the Philadelphia Patss.
Allen Harp, a boy ltj years old, the son of
a gardener at Bryn Mawr, while sick with
grief over the death of a favorite collie,
laid down beside the dog’s grave on Mon
day night and shot himself in the head.
John Harp, the buy’s father, has been for
many years past tho landscoi* 1 gftrdenerof
the Bryn Mawr Hotel, and with his assist
ant gardener, Thomas Conley, and his two
oldest boys, has had the entire cure of the
grounds. Allen Harp lived with his father
ill a pretty little cottage on the opposite side
of the pike, not a hundred yards from tho
hotel. His life was as peaceful and appar
ently as happy, and the atmosphere of his
home and work as healthy anil free from
all morbid influences as tho home and life
of a worker among flowers and trees could
be. But the boy was naturally shy, silent
and moody. He seldom spoke to anyone
and to those of the guests at the hotel who
addressed him he replied in monosyl
lables and with averted face and downcast
eyes.
The boy’s one companion and constant at
tendant. was a largo Scotch collie or shep
herd's dog, whose dumb sympathy the si
lent, melancholy boy seemed to find all suf
ficient in itself. The summer boarders, now
that the pitiful tragedy of the boy’s death
recalled him so strongly to their recollection,
remember having seen this dog following
him as he moved around the grounds trim
ming the hedges or lying with its head in his
lap when 110 sat at rest under the shade of
the trees.
BURYING THE DOG QUIETLY.
The dog was a pet of all the Harp chil
dren, but it was Allen who fed' it and cared
for it, and it was Allen the dog preferred to
follow through tho streets of tho village.
This close friendship had lasted for over a
year and a half, when last Friday the dog
grew suddenly ill, aud on Monday Ellis,
Harp’s second son, found the collie lying
dead among the hushes at, the back of the
barn. Without saying anything to
Allen, who was at work on the grounds
of the hotel, Kllis and his sister dug a
grave and buried the dog at the rear of tho
barn.
Ellis wrote with a piece of pencil in n
round, boyish hand, ou the back of two
pieces of boards, the following inscrip
tion :
“In memory of Shop. Born 19 of Feb
ruary, 18Sf>, taken sick July 15, and died
July IS, 1887. Age one yr. 4 mo. and 3
days.”
He placed tho boards at the foot and head
of the grave, and when Allen returned in
the evening, told him what had happened
and what he had done. Allen said nothing
and began to eat his supper in silence, but
before the rest, had finished, without a word
of explanation, he arose and went out into
the yard.
The family continued their supper, and
then gathered on the front porch to listen to
tiie music of the dance at the hotel opposite.
As they sat there n sharp report came from
the garden, and Mr. Harp suggested that
Allen was firing off firecrackers, and bade
his little girl Ducilla, go and see where he
was. The girl went, and returned in a mo
ment with the information that Allen was
sitting on the around besides the dog’s
grave.
The brother Ellis rose, and, going to the
back of the house, saw Alien lying on the
ground. He called him by name, but re
reived no answer. When lie returned and
told the family this, his mother sprang to
her feet and ran to where her son was lying.
She found him with his body thrown across
the newly-made grave, face downward,
anil with his arms stretched limp and still
in front of him, with a dark, ro t hole in his
forehead and a pistol lying within reach of
his right, hand. The orchestra was playing
the second waits in the hall of the hotel,
and as it was a warm night thore were
as many people in the grounds and on
the piazzas as there were in the dance
room.
THE FATHER’S GRIEF.
Suddenly from under the trees, and up the
broad steps of the hotel, John Harp rushed,
hat less and coatless, with a white, haggaid
face, crying incoherently for a doctor, and
saying:
“My boy, he is dying; where is a doctor?
Help me save my hoy.”
Tne music stopped and the guests, terrified
and startled, ran into the hall and gathered
around the distracted man. William J.
Troth and E. L. Perot was the first to un
derstand what had happened, and, followed
by Dr. Thomas Andrews, they hurried to
the little group standing at the back of the
gardener’s house. Dr Andrews and Dr.
Scvery turned the boy upon his back and
made a rapid examination of his wound. “I
ran do nothing here,” said Dr. Andrews as
he rose; “death was instantaneous.” The
weapon which the boy used was an old iJS
eaiibre revolver which had belonged to his
father and tho existence of which lmd been
long forgotten. The grave of the dog was
partly dug up as if, as Ellis Harp told a re
porter last night, “my brother had
tried to lie down beside the dog when he
died and be buried in tho same grave with
it.” Mr. Dove and Alfred Parrish carried
tiie boy’s hixly into the house, and the doc
tors washed and cleared away the blood
which was clotted in his hair. Tho boy’s
face was very peaceful and his countenance
without any sign of contraction.
Coronor Kingkinger impaneled a jury
yesterday which was composed of P. S. At
tick, Morris Johnson, William H. Weimer,
Dr. T. B. Severy, Charles Wenrich and
R Cameron. They rendered a verdict of
“deliberate suicide.” The funeral of
the boy will take place on Friday after
noon.
Two Acres of Teeth.
fhi* the Chicago Herald.
“Come with me,” said Agent Day, one af
ternoon last week. “Did you never see an
acre of teeth? Not Then I Will show you
one—yes, twoacrek almost a ten-acre lot.”
Then Agent Day led the way up the track
which surrounds the two rings and platform
in the circus tent. The performance was
going on, and the two clowns, one made up
as a bear, were going through their reiiily
comic manoeuvers and imitations rf lie
Blondin horse. Interestingas.tbisbit of pan
tomime was it could not compare
for picturesquoness with tho scone
presented on the other side of the
ring. There, stretched out upon the hillside
of seats, was the oft-heard-of “soa of faces.”
Always rather startling to one who beholds
it for the first time, this ocean of counte
nances sparkling with thousands of eyes and
looking so white by contrast with the darker
shades of clothing and the soot-stained can
vas, now took on nn aspect doubly strange.
In each face there appeared to tie a still
whiter streak, a horizontal lino which seemed
almost to glitter.
"There,” exclu’med the circus agent, "look
at thut, for a half acre of teeth. That is u
scene to make a dentist weary, and in a cir
cus is the only place you can find it
Theatre audiences do not grin and
show their teeth like that, except
up lti the gallery, where you can't see
them. Walk along over by the reserved
seats and you’ll not. see any such display as
this. The people who sit there don’t grin,
either, or at least don’t open their mouths.
But even this crowd over hereon the gen
eral benches is nothing to what you may see
in the country, book carefully and you’ll
perceive that not more than one spectator
In three is showing his teeth; in the rural
districts nine out of ten do whenever any
thing really funny is going on in tho ring.
If I was to go to sleep for six months, and
you wero to take rnc iijsido a circus tent in
front of the erowas, 1 could (ell whether we
were in a city or country town by simply
noting the display of teeth along the
benches."

mediate vicinity of tho 8., F. & W. Ry, just

house and offices. Tliis consists of a large
dwelling, with store attached, well built and

of employes.
Another corner on York and Montgom
cry street*, consisting of store and dwelling,
is in a location where property is seldom
offered, and never offered long, l’urchusers
can always be found for property in this
vicinity, on account of its nearness to the
Market, Bay street and the retail street*.

of West Broad corners, l’wticulars can be
