2 TIIE BKSTANIUVORST CITY TUAT IS WHAT NEW YORK IS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS. Souse of the Hard-Worked Men Who Seem to be Idlers-A Few Facts About "hem Which Do Not Appear on the Surface. New York. Oct. 22. —New York is the best and worst city in Amorica in which to keep house. Charles Dehnonico, the pres ent head of the famous restaurant Arm, de- clares that you can get more for a shilling and less fora pound in Paris or London than it> New York. The epigram applies in a great measure to housekeeping in New York. Here is the record of the experi ence of a man in the metropolis who went to housekeeping on a modest scale. After be had formed a Arm determination to no longer be a boarder he set out to search tor quarters in which to set up his household gods by himself. The newspapers reeked with advertisements of most, attractive places. There first developed in him a burning desire to have a house all by him self, but he made the sad discovery that no man of moderate means can afford that lux ury in New York. Even Cbauncey M. Depew, the President of the New York Central railroad, lives in a l ouse, elegant as it is, that the average gentleman of means outside of New York would consider almost circumscribed in area. The house hunter found one suite of rooms which seemed to have all the advantage of coxiness, and was about to set up housekeeping there when he made the alarming discovery that there was an insane woman and a dog that barked per petually in the building that he was about to select ns his abiding place He then went out into suburban territory and had firmly made up h;.s mind to settle over in New Jersey. Thomas Nast and thousands of busy New Yorkers live over there, but the journey to and from your house to your place of business involves a long ar.d not al ways quick ride. One morning a train from one of these New Jersey towns was delayed until nearly midday by a wreck, anil 'he house hunter was deterred by this circum stance from carrying out his well-formed plan to move into one of the pretty New Jersey- hamlets. Then he cast about for a plnce in Brooklyn. It is a favorable point of residence, and apparently near to tho centres of business in New York, but one trip over the bridge during the busy hours convinced him that no man who had an ab borence of crowding eouid live in Brooklyn and be entirely at peace with the world. There is probably no outlet from New York where you are as thoroughly jostled by your fellow-men as in going between New York and Brooklyn. A large proportion of the journalists of moderate means live in Brooklyn, and when once you are there it is a pleasant place. The householder finally selected a modest Ant in that haven of all economical persons of pronounced taste and rather limited means, namely, Harlem. The crowds that surge out toward that living resort are big enough to make a seat in an elevated train an almost u i •btainable luxury during the evening and lorning hours, but. the house holder, as a last desperate resort, fixed upon Harlem. He was first asked: “Have vou any children i” Being able to answer that in the negative, he was questioned by the suspicious owner of a flat as to whether or not he owned a dog. He guiltilv answered in the affirmative and was told that no dog owner could have quarters in the building. He sent his dog away, rented a flat and con-' traeted for the removal of his household goods. In a fit of economy he hired a cheap expressman to move his trunks. One of them contained all the monev he had in the world. Twelve hours elapsed and no trunks appeared. When the would-be householder went to look for them, the expressman had closed his place and no trace of the missing baggage could be found. After a painful suspense of forty-eight hours the trunks turned up, one of them being in a sadly wrecked condition. There was no gas in the flat, and the Harlemite set out to find the office of the company controlling the light in the domicile He found it. and was rather curtly told that he must deposit {si before anv move to give him li Jit would lie made. He put up the required amount, and tl.e.i made bold to ask wheh the company would lie so kndas to give him gas. It was discovered that there was no meter in the apartments, and the pi> siding genius at the gas office calmly said that it would be at least a week before it would be possible to turn on the gas. The house hunter, who had stood in line had waited a weary hour for the privilege of getting this di-eourag ing information, went to h s batracks in a state of great gloom and illuminated them with candles sot up in pasteboard boxes. Tt was a gloomy and growsome experience. At last the gas was turned on and the person of the premises sent to a Western city for the remainder of his household effects. Tliev came with great promptness and with equal puretuality were and divered at tho entrance to the wrong building. A porter who had the iiuiejjennent air so noticeable in great Eastern c.ties agrrad to “tote’' the goods to their destination for about what they were worth and they ware “toted.” When tliev hail been all put in place and had lieen firmly attaclieil to their moorings, the head of tho aleged house found, all too late, thnt the occupants of the fiat lielowliiin cooked cab bage every evening for dinner, and that his neighbors of the upper fiat had children who squalled ail night. To one who has en joyed the f re-h, free air of the bouiulhsi West it appears for the time that New York ers n# moderate means don’t live, they merely stay. Amos J. Cummings. Tiie working side of a politician’s life in New York city would compare pointedly with that of the much abused railway President, who is, I believe, considered the hardest worked man in conternporay busi ness life. There is no judging or the life of a man from external indications. T remem ber viewing with a good deal of admiration livery staid ■ keeper whose mammoth es tablishment, I passed every day on my way to anil from school when 1 was a boy. lie apparent!' did nothing but sit in a comfort able and affectionate arm chair, pick his teeth, smoke a huge cigar genially and de vote the balance of the day to leisurely in ■ spection of ins finder nails and well-pol ished boots. Occasionally he would have a horse led out in front of him bv one of the grooms, and after he had looked at him with more or less solemnity for a few min utes would gi'. some order about a bolus, the proper li „lit for anew shoe or the mi visabilityof letting out a little blood. .Vs I grew older 1 saw him increase in girth, aud ex)ian-iveness and wealth. Apparently lie did nothing. Foryears the synonym of oli soute leisure in my mind was the keeper of the crack livery ’stable. One morning 1 came in on an owl train from the country, stopped to a late supper, and padd ed by the livery stable about 3 o’clock. It, was still dark’ of course, but there was a light in the harness room and there I saw my ideal o complacency in his undershirt aiid a jmir overalls working away with three of his men in a style that would have astounded a prize athlete. He cleaned more harness in two minutes than the other did in five. 1 glued my nose against the glass and watched him until he saw me, ami then 1 was asked to cotne in. I learned that, his hours were probably more arduous than those of a man in any other business. He never got to bed until 4 o’clock, as it was necessary to get things in order in the sta ble before retiring. There was a constant fear of fire, no insurance on horses that were valuable, and it needed a good deal of intelligence to deal with the men who came in more or Jess exhilarated from drives up the road at lute hours of the night. Though he did not, retire until nearly 4o'clock, his paesenceat horse sales, auctions, etc.. was absolutely nece-sary at 10 every morning in the different livery exchanges. It, needs constant replenishing, it would seem, to keep a crack livery .stable going. 1 was no more surprised in the revelation in this man's life thau I was this morning when I dropped into see a local politician at his office. He is one of the big Com missioners of New York. I had known him for ten years, but had never before seen him in harness. His pereonality is synonmmW with good nature and amiability. He has a favorite way of standing on street cor ners with a group of friends as if wonder ing how P employ his time until night, sit ting leisurely with groups around the tables in prominent cafes, ana strolling on the sunny side of the more popular streets. I never knew him to be in a hurry in my life, and though I knew him to be at the head of a large establishment and supposed he must necessarily have some business responsibili ties, it never occurred to me that he did any work. 1 was aroused from bed this morning by the weeping, and wailing and gnashing of : teeth of, the mother of a small but faithful stenographer of mine who fell last night from grace and decamped from ins present employers without due notice. The bov was caught and his mother was heart-broken —not because he was caught, however, hut on account of his original offense. 1 hur ried down to the Commissioner's office witli her because he was the only man I could think of in town who had an absolute pull in the district in which the trouble oc curred. I went to his office to get his ad dress, for it was then only 8 o’clock, and I never imagined for a moment that he got to his place of business before 10:30. Ho was there and had been there more than a half hour. Three secretaries were around u huge table with his papers and documents in orderly rows in front of them. That was in a public building and a crowd of heelers, politicians, men in search of work, labor ers, etc., were ranged around the room even at that early hour. Two typewriters were printing his letters as hedictated them. His hands shook, and he was still suffering from a lack of sleep and necessary rest. I ex plained things to him and sat by his side an hour after he had dispatched the necessary letters and telegrams and sent one of his aids up with the old woman. I may remark in cidentally, as showing the influence of a big politician in New York, that the boy was free and at the office within an hour and everything satisfactorily arranged. I stayed until 11 o'clock smoking and watching the routine of business and then we went out to breaktast. After that the politician was shaved, brushed and generally adorned, and braced up by a champagne cocktail went out lounging on his way, a man of leisure before the whole world. Tho amount of work he had done before he made his public appearance would have made the av erage business man, even of New York or Chicago, a wreck for the day. Blakely Hall. HASKELL WAS TO BLAME. Minneapolis People Made a Mistake in Burning Blethen’s Effigy. From the New York World. Minneapolis, Oct “o.—The editorial entitled “Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland as Mere People,” published in the Minneapolis Tribune on the morning after the Presi dent’s visit here, has aroused a storm of indignation all over the country. Nearly every paper that has mentioned the article has connected tho name of A. J. Blethen, general manager of the Tribune, with it, and all manner of personal abuse has been heaped upon him. In view of these facta, two articles printed on the editorial page of the Tribune this morning are of in terest. The first bears the signature of W. E. Haskell, the editor of the paper, and is as follows: “Justice demands this In view of the fact that the Tribune's recent editorial eommentson •Mr. ami Mrs. Cleveland as mere people,' have excited considerable adverse criticism, and that Mr. Blethen, the general manager of this paper, has been inaile individually a target for the venom and abase of business and political op ponents, and the uncharitable expressions of others, 1 deem it my duty, in fairness and jus tice to him, to relieve him of a cruel and unjust burden. The evening on which the editorial in question was written Mr. Blethen did not ap pear in the editorial rooms, and to my aiasolute Knowledge did not dictate, inspire, cor see the article until he read it in print the next morn ing. The article was read and passed by me, and sines; the matter has wrongfully been made one of individual responsibility I desire to ac cept any blame or censure attaching to the pub lication, and to relieve Mr. Blethen of the cow ardly and merciless persecution to which he has been subjected. william Edwin- Haskell." This statement by Mr. Ila-kell is fol lowed by a card over the signature of Mr. Blethen: “To the Patrons of the Trtlfune: “Now that the authorship of the famous Cleveland editorial is known, I believe it is proper for me to make some public statement. In (loin; this 1 do not wish to be misunderstood. lam one of three men who own the Tribune. 1 am its General Manager and Treasurer, often contribute leading articles to its editorial page, and no objectionable matter would be published against my wishes. But in spite of the tact of my almost ever-preseuee in Minneapolis and constant and devoted attention,to the Tribune for the last three years, there have been many occasious when I nave not been present in the editorial rooms, and there have been many ar ticles which have necessarily appeared in the paper without my knowledge. Now that my partner lias spoken concerning the article rela tive to the visit of Mr. anil Mrs. Cleve land to Minneapolis, and over which such a storm has been raised by tee St. Paul pullers, aided largely by the lowest elements of Minneapolis, 1 nave to say tins personally for myself, 1 exceedingly regret every word that appeared in the Tribune of that day so far as it related to Mrs. Cleveland, ami had I seen the article before its publication no word w tli reference to that lady would have been published, unless of a complimentary c laracter. The publication also, so far as it re lated to Mrs. Cleveland, was erroneous for two important reasons. Though the President and his wife bad planned ibis Western tour, which undoubtedly had a political significance, yet la fore their visit they had been formally invited to come to Minnesota and the- city of Minne apolis by the Governor and other State officials mid tbe'local government of this city. There fore. they were for the time being guests of the city and State, and were en titled to all the courtesy and hospitality of guests. Again, no gentlentau and no newspaper can afford to make any reference to a lady not of a complimentary character. Now that the storm has passed; that the statement elsewhere made is not the result of force, or violence, nor of public opinion, but the calm and candid conclusion after mature consideration on the part of Mr. Haskell, who passed the article, to shoulder the responsibility, I desire to say that the proprietors of the Tribune feel that ft gross error was committed; thut the public sense of the city was outraged, and the whole matter is most sincerely and deeply regretted. Allen J. Blethen.” There have lieen rumors of changes in the Tribune management, on account of the Cleveland editorial anil its results. E. B. Haskell, of the Boston Ueruld , one of the principal owners of the Tribune, arid father of “\\ illie” Haskell, arrived in Minneapolis lnkt night. Fending his arrival nothing has been done.

Some ofThem Which Have Achieved Notoriety. Nnw York, Oct. 22. New York is full of queer characters, and Wall street is a inaguet that attracts many. Taking a few of them at random there is Anbury Harpending, of the Consolidated Exchange. He is a Kentuckian by birth, about 45 years of age, has piercing black eyes, a lull long black beard, is of slender build and over six feet in height. He be came notorious in Nan Francisco when only 20 years of age. It was during the civil war. He was full of boyish enthusiasm for the Confederacy, and was arrested in Han Francisco on a charge of plotting to cap ture, with the aid of a number of others, tho treasuro ships leaving that port for Panama, and then escape to Eng land and use the proceeds for the furtherance of the Southern cause. The authorities arrested him as the chief eou spirator in this piratical enterprise, and lie was convicted and imprisoned; subsequent ly, however, being pardoned. He then em barked in real estate ventures with the fa mous Ralston, of San Francisco, who drowned himself on the downfall of the Bank of California. Then Haiyending built a block of buildings having a frontage of 200 feet on Market street, Han Francisco. They took Arc and he watched the fire with tiie greatest composure, comforted by the thought of the ample insurance on the prop erty. His agent, it proved, however, had neglected to insure it, and a fortune went up in the smoke and flames, a burnt offering to the speculative gods. He came to New York eight years ago, plunged into mining enterprises, promoted the develop ment of some South American mines, got in low in the last mining boom and was very successful, especially in the Coinstock shares. For instance, lie held considerable Consolidated Virginia, for which he paid about $2, and which lie sold at between 840 and 850, making, it is understood, nearly #750,000. He has had a career full of strange vicissitudes, has made and lost sev eral fortunes, and, strange as it may sound, has landed on his feet and is now worth 81,000,000 or more. He is a man of in domitable resolution, lull of fight, undaunt ed under all circumstances, a stormy petrel of speculation who has rested at last on a un-lit peak. He has speculated in railroad stocks, min ing shares or grain all his life, and is one of a million who has not been permanently overcome by the fatal undertow which threatens big and little oil the speculative seas. He lias had the cramp a number of times, but his fiery Southern blood has warmed him lip to a successful straggle against the adverse current. Walking up and down in a broker’s office and breathing out slaughter against some offender who seemed slow in executing an order he often presented a queer spectacle. Sometimes Chicago brokers were rather slow in report ing a transaction, and then the would-be buccaneer of the Golden Horn would break into threats suggestive of Col. Bowie, “i’ll knife ’em, the and scoundrels. I’ll knife ’em.” Henry Smith, the former millionaire and once big operator in stocks, but now a devo tee of free lunch counters, may be put down as one of the queer Wall street char acters. He fought Jay Gould in number less speculations. Once he said: “I’ll make Jav Gould earn his living with a hand or gan and a monkey.” The remark was repeated to Mr. Gould. He smiled grimly and said nothing. When Henry Smith failed for $5,000,000, Mr. Gould remarked: “Ho might now try the hand organ himself.” Smith hail lieen en gaged with Addison Caimnack and Baron Woerishoffer in a bear campaign, but his two associates had found it prudent to cover their short sales. Smith over-stayed his market, as mast operators do sooner or later, and was crushed by the triumphal car of the bulls. Jay Gould was the driver, and ho contemplated the mangled remains of “Hen” Smith with philosophical serenity. Smith had lew friends and no one sympathized with him in Lis misfortunes. In fact his failure was celebrated by the manager of one large house with an abundance of cigars for everybody in the establishment, ile is short ami slight, small in body and small in mind, purse-proud and snobbish in the days when lie was worth $5,001,000 or # 1,000,0.10 and hated oven then. To-day he wandens like a forlorn ghost in the region ol Wall street, looked upon witli contempt by tiiose who know that he pulled down poor William Heath, his broker, and that he lias a soul of about, the dimensions of a pin head. William Heath may be remembered by some. He was “Hen” Smith’s broker in his last great speculation, and was sent to Lud low street jail lor some alleged irregulari ties growing out of his financial transac tions, and which led to civil suits. Ho died in Ludlow street jail a pauper while his rich wife was leading a gay life in Paris, a woman who deliberately left her husband to die poor and comparatively irieudleas. A more disgusting exhibition of fashionable heartlessuess has seldom been presented in real life. Heath was a man ol ability, a gentleman in manner and education, and lor years was very successful. John Tobin, once President of the Hudson River railroad, and now about 70 veal's of age, is tail, stoop-shouldered, sharp-featured and has keen, rat-like eyes. He was once worth $2,000,000, but is now said to be spec ulating in the bucket shops. He was in the heyday of Ins fort ines at the beginning of tiie civil war and before the Hudson River road was merged with the New York Cen tral. It was a time or wild speculations in gold ami stocks and everything else. The gambling mania broke out everywhere. Tobin, it is said, dropped a good deal of money with John Morrissey, the keeper of gambling resorts nere and in Saratoga. One night, it is said, Tobin lost a large sum and gave Morrissey a check but stopped it the next day. Morrissey complained to old Com. Vanderbilt, who, it is -aid. turned against Tobin on this account aud ulti mately had him ousted as President of the Hudson River load. Here is a dramatic transition. A man worth $2,000,000 now making 85 turns in the bucket shops. It is the old story of unsuccessful speculations. Bunk Presidents say that 75 j>er cent, of tho men who go into business sooner or later fail. If this is true of legitimate in dustry how much chance can the average speculator have? Another notable figure of by-gone days who still stalks like a ghost to slow music through Wall s reel is .John Pondir. famous as the homeliest man in that region and proud of the fact. When his phcnoniei al fog-horn uniuth, greenish-gray ev cs, mangy looking brick-colored side whiskers, ustoti ishing nose, Lands and lis t and skin or a pale rhinoceros color, and about as rough as u wider hog’s; when, lit short, his match less physical ugliness is made t e sub’e t of encomiums by his many warm friend ■!’. John Pondir’s chest swells with pride as he re flects that il he hasn't readied physical dis tinction at the y.enith he has reached it at the nadir and is perfection in his own pecu liar way. He was once worth $1,000,000. and was identified as a director with several large corporations. Now he seems to lie'in very moderate circumstances. He is just ns good-hearted as he is homely, and is, there fore, not 'Without friends. He is a man of some cultivation, and a connoisseur in pic tures, precious stones and wines. He once walked past the guard unchallenged into the presence of Secretary Stanton, and sold him 150,000 stand of arms at a splendid profit. He was wholly unknown to Mr. Stanton, but gave thnt statesman his assur ance that he was “honest John Pondir,” ahd that his word was better than Lis bond. His great pride in life is his son, Rufus Hatch Pondir. When the younger had worked his shrewd father iii some petty transaction, the elder Hebrew remarked proudly to a friend; "All, dnt boy Rufey, he is a good one. He does niv heart goot. He will get along all right in Wall street.” Oscar Willoughby Riggs. For nronrhtol. Asthmatic and Pulninnnry Complaints, “Bron-n's Bronchial Troches' have remarkable curative properties.

The proudest little girl in the city yester day was diminutive 6-year-old Florence Loux, who lives with her mother in modest apartments on Sixth street, opposite Wash ington square, over one of the many in that long row of lawyers’ offices. When little Florence went to school yesterday her face was wreathed in smiles, and she breathlessly rushed up to her teacher, Miss Diamond, aud proudly handed her a large envelope, on which was written “Miss Florence Loux. Postmaster Hnrrity will please find ” The envelope contained a portrait and autograph of President Cleveland, and a little note from tho President informing Florence thut he had not forgotten her, and thanking her for the bouquet she had given him. When the President was here during the Constitutional Centennial among his' many callere was little Florence. It was on tho afternoon of the last day, just after the President had returned to his room from tiie Hibernian dinner, that a pretty but plainly dressed little tot walked into the corridor of the Lafayette and asked Clerk Fryer if tiie President was in. She carried in her hand a little bunch of faded flowers, and asked the clerk if he would send them up to the distinguished guest. Her manner was so earnest that the clerk sent her up to the President’s room herself. Unhesitatinglj’ she entered the room, which was fairly filled with rare flowers, anil con fidently advancing offered the President her little faded bouquet. Tiie President gravely accepted the gift and requested his little visitor to be seated. lie entered into conversation with her, and before she left she had confided all her little troubles to her sympathetic listener. Among other things, she 'old him that when she was a wee little thing she had fallen out a window and fractured her arm. Her mother, she said, was poor, and was afraid if her arm was amputated she would never be able to support herself. She refused to permit the amputation, and the child re covered. When she went away the Presi dent kissed her good-bye and told her he would not forget her. It has been two weeks since the President sent her his photograph. He had remem bered her name, but forgotten her address, so he sent the letter to the post office, with instructions to Postmaster Harrity to find Florence. The postmaster instructed all his letter-carriers to make inquiry along their routes for the child and relate the circum stances about her broken arm, which the President sent in his letter to the postmas ter. Yesterday morning the child was found. She is now busy composing an an swer to the letter, which she will mail on tho President’s return to Washington. Buried Alive for Five Days. From the New York Tribune. A sergennt in the Charles Street Police Station was startled on Wednesday by a re port about a tramp who had been found among the half-burned cotton in John S. Richards’ big warehouse ir Charlton street. Tiie | xjliceman who made the report said the tramp was found alive but in a starving state, and thnt the unhappy man was sup posed to have been imprisoned in the ware house at tho time of the fire five months ago. “Talk about Rip Van Winkle,” said the policeman, with a sniff of contempt, “why, this man beats that old Dutchman and Dr. Tanner combined, and can stand heat better than a salamander, if his story is true.” In May the big warehouse caught fire and some thousands of bales of cotton were burning in the building several days. Hun dreds of tons of water were pumped on the cotton and converted into steam before the fire was out. Ninoe then workmen have been digging out. the bales and separating the unburned cotton from the waste. On Wednesday they uncovered the tramp, who looked ns if he had been buried there a long time. Ho was wasted almost to a skeleton and was too weak from hunger to stand alone. The astonishment of the men who found him was increased when he replied feebly to a question: “How long here?” “Some time’fore the fire.” He was placed on an express wagon and carried to the police station. An ambulance surgeon poured a little whisky and water down the famished man’s throat and took him to Belle levue Hospital. It was said to be a to-s up whether the tramp would live or die yester day. tie said he was John Rogan, aged 62, a cotton spinner, but had tin i no work and no home for a long time Five days ago he was going through Charlton street, search ing for a place to deep in. Finding a hole in the wall of the warehouse, he crawled through it and made a bed in the cotton. When lie awoke, after a long sleep, the hole in the wall had been closed up and Ire couldn't get out. He was too weak to make himself heard, and he resigned himseif to his fate. He hail been without food for a week when tiie workmen found him.
