CI OVBR CLU3 SKETCHES
In Which That " heetnut" About
Blackburn Fiaures.
New York, Dec. ii.~ here ha* been
r-citi*i.lrable talk l'or noma (Imp among the
brilliant men of New York of organizing a
club >f the character of the now famous
Clover Club, of Philadelphia, \ number
of cities have already done this; but, *. far
lrneof thorn have artmotel attention out
side of their own locality Now President
Handy and so*neof the leading members of
the (.'lover Club have just moved to New
York and a movement is on f<v>t to estah
Jish a branch of Hie Clover Club in this
city.
The club was organized about live years
ago and grew out of what was then known
as the Thursday Club, principally composed
of journalists. The first dinner was given
one Thursday at the old Girard House
•which was simply a sort of an organization,
and ever since then the dinners have been
given at the Bellevue Hotel, the third
i Imrsday in every mouth, and then there is
one grand annual dinner. At these
monthly dinners each member is allowed to
invite as many guests as he iikes. The table
is set in the shape of a four-leaf clover. At
the monthly dinners no member is allowed
to appear in full dress, so that these gather
ings are as informal as possible.
At these monthly gatherings the Majority
of the guests are from New York. It, Inis
gotten to l>e a very common thing for New
Y orkers to happeu in Philadelphia on the
I hursday that these dinners are given, for,
if he is anything of a wit, he is sure to be
invited to dine at the Clover Club.
As much as to anything else, the great
success of this organization is due to its
President., Yaj. Moses P. Handy, who is re
garded by everybody who has attended the
Clover Club dinners as the greatest pre
siding officer on these festive occasions jn
this country. He was the club’s first Presi
dent, and has been continued in office ever
since, and probably will be for many years
to come.
There is quite a general impression that
the Clover Club is n great place to hear able
speeches, and that 1f a man has an oration
that ho wishes to deliver, he can become
famous by delivering it before the Clover
Club. This is an entirely mistaken idea; if
there is anything that the members of ’ho
Ciover Club dislike, it is a set speech. They
would not listen to one even by the Presi
dent of the United States, and Mr. Cleve
land wpn their everlasting admiration in
not attempting to deliver one when he was
t heir guest.
If a person wants to be ingloriously
guyed, just let him try and deliver a pre
pared sneecli. Many an orator of national
reputation has attempted, to his sorrow, to
address the Clover Club iu a serious man
ner. Still the members of the Clover Club
now and then meet their match in some
witty guest.
In the first place, the quaint and mock se
rious manner in which President Handy in
troduces the guest is usually sufficient to
make him forget what he might have in
tended to say. And then there are four or
five gentlemen who are noted for their wit
and gift at repartee, and they make it their
business to interject their remarks into a
person’s speech that is very embarrassing to
the speaker. Probably the most feared of
these interrupters is Louis N. Magargee, and
after him comes William Bunn, who was
for a time Governor of Idaho; James Hene
rin, the great criminal lawyer of the Quaker
City, and Dr. Edward Bedloe, whom every
guest at the Clover Club is likely to remem
ber.
Not long ago Col. Henry Watterson was
a guest at the Clover Club. He had heard
of able men like himself who had tried in
vain to make a speech on similar occasions,
and he was determined that he would not
fail. Just at this time Mr. Watterson was
writing brilliant editorials attacking the
tariff system, and also criticising the admin
istration. He was somewhat taken aback
when President Handy arose and introduced
him to the members of the Clover Club by
saying:
“Col. Henry Watterson will get np and
defend the tariff and the admistration.”
-Col. Watterson was dazed for a moment,
and was in the end so guyed that he was
compelled to taka his seat.
The next person called upon on this ooca
sion for a speech was Col. Thomas P. Ochil
tree, the famous Texan. He was greeted
with yells, but he was perfectly calm in the
face of them, and with the experience of
Col. 'Watterson fresh in his mind. When
he could make himself heard, he said:
“Gentlemen. I am a cowboy from Texas;
I have addressed some of the toughest au
diences in the country, and you needn’t
think you can knock me out.”
“However,” continued Col. Ochiltree, “I
am not going to attempt to make a speech
or tell you a story.”
“Good, good,’’and “we won’t take your
word for it," cried a chorus of voices.
“I simply arose to sjieak to you on behalf
of my distinguished friend upon my right,
.Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky. I under
stand he is to uddress you next, and I hope
that you will listen to him for you will cer
tainly feel repaid. He is all ready to make
a speech, and I hope you will think he makes
a good one. A few years ago I was travel
ing with him while he was making a can
vass in Kentucky, we heard of a place where
there was a man to be hung. In Kentucky
the whole country turns out on such an
occasion and my’ friend Blackburn knew
that it was an excellent opportunity to
make a speech ;o a multitude of people. So
he went there; but as the day wore along
Blackburn saw no chance to make a speech.
Finally the doomed man was brought on
the scaffold, and the Sheriff said to him:
“ ‘You have fifteen minutes yet to live,
in wbioii you can addresss the people if you
so desire.’”
The man said that lie would like to live
as long as possible, but that he was not able
to make a speech. My friend- Blackburn
saw his opportunity, and jumping up, cried
to the doomed man:
“ ‘Give me your time.’ ”
“The doomed man quietly turned to the
Sheriff and said:
“ ‘Mr. Sheriff, proceed with the hanging;
I had rather die than live and hear Joe
Blackburn make a speech.”’
Ever alter this Colonel Ochiltree has been
given close attention whenever he arose tc
address them.
Upon bis retirement from the Attorney
Generalship of the United States, Wayne
McVeagh was made a member of the Clover
Club, and at the first dinner which he at
tended, President Handy introduced him as
lollows:
“Gentlemen, I have the pleasure of intro
ducing to you Wavne McVeagh, who is a
rising yciing lawyer; you will probably
hear from him.”
Mr. McVeagh naturally expected toliein
treduced as the ex-Attomey General of the
United States, aud to sav something in
keeping with the dignity of his Jate office,
hut the roars of laughter that greeted him
proved exceedingly embarrassing. lie fin
ally managed to make a speech in which ho
neatly got back at President Handy; but
after'be had sat down, Mr. Handy got up
and said:
‘•Gentlemen, Wayne McVeagh having
made a sfwecb the ohjoyment of the even
ing will now begin.”
(Tiauncev 34. Depew, the famous nfter
dinner speaker, of New Yprk, was induced
to go over to Philadoipbio aud attend a
Clover Club dinner not long ago, but the
members were a little backward about in
terrupting him, as ho had the reputation
tor taking care of hirosei! on such occasions.
But finally Gov. Bunn could not resist tho
temptation of giving Mr. Depew a shot.
The brilliant New Yorker hesitated a
momeut and pointing in the direction Of
hi* interrupter said:
“I have been talking simply against time
for ten minutre with the expectation of
having you interrupt me.”
The gentleman who followed him was
Hennr George; but the questions that wore
asked him about his methods of abolishing
poverty were so numerous and ridiculous
i ha* he did not score much of a success.
But the greatest surprise ih** Clover Club
had was upon the occasion that they entor
tjtbied CoL pat Donan, the noted Dakotan.
•“ *oon as he was introduced he astonished
averv one by mounting a chair and assum
mg the attitude of a spread eagle orator.
Everyone thought he was going to make a
S 1 Tt ot a Fourth of July speech, but they
were surprised when he began by saying:
“Robbers! villains! assassins of a man’s
record: l stand lief ire you undaunted. 1
come from the land of Dakota."
“Where is DnkotaJ” interrupted Wavne
McVeagh, 1 J
“It is," answered Col. Donan, “so high
above hell that none of you fellows can
over hope to get there.”
Alter this < 'ul. Do min was attentively lis

exceedingly popular.

HELPING THE COMPOSITOR.
*
A Type-Setting Machine That Greatly
Increases His Speed.
I rum the yew York Time*.
There is a composing room at 109 Broad
way that would make the average composi
tor turn green with envy. A reception was
held there yesterday. In a corner by the
window was a case aud before it a young
woman was [licking up type w ith both hands
and dropping it hap-hnzard into a funnel in
front of her. The regular clickings of a
partially concealed piece of mechanism in
dicated the Lagerman type-setting machine
iu operation.
Lagennan is a Scandinavian who has de
voted forty years to the invention of type
set.ing machinery that in some measures
would increase the effectiveness of the com
positor or, perhaps, do away with him alto
gether. The greater part of his effort was
devoted to the perfection of some magazine
arrangement of tvpe to be set free by a key
board similar to that of a type-writer. In
this effort he succeeded in achieving a me
chanical success, but the machine was of
complicated character, expensive, and liable
to get out of order, so it (fid not improve on
the compositor. Failing ih the attempt to
do away with the compositor entirely.
Logoi man conceived the idea of providing
him with a mechanical contrivance by
which he could set an increase number of envs
iu a stated period. This attempt.it is claimed,
was pre-eminently successful. The young
woman who gave exhibitions of her agility
yesterday said that she could set 700 ems of or
uiuary type an hour by the primitive method
still prevalent, and by the ambidexterous
method made possible by this machine she
could set 2,500 ems an hour.
The machine upon which the patent in
this country was obtained was made in
Sweden aud was cumbersome, dispropor
tioned, and unwieldy in operation. The
superior workmanship apparent to all ma
chinery of Amerififcn manufacture led the
Igigerman Typotbeise Compdny, having the
management and control of affairs in this
country, to have a machine built here,
where the best of milling machinery prom
ised a lighter, tastier, handsomer, and easier
working machine than they had yet suc
ceeded in producing—the i leal machine, iu
fact, of the inventor. This was the ma
chine the company yestex-day had on ex
hibition. A simple little electric engine
supplied the motive power, but any power
available can be employed. Both hands are
employed iu feeding the funnel, aud the
skilled compositor will retain his rank in the
profession as well with as without this ma
chine. After the type enters the funnel the
machine takes care of it, reversing and
turning where necessary to set tvpo in cor
rect position on the hue, aud sliding it into
tue galley as neatly as tho intelligent com
positor could do it himself, but ever so much
quicker and without danger of pi. The
near approach of the end of a line is her
alded by a bell, warning the compositor to
insert another space more than type high,
an assortment of which comes with the ma
chine. When one galley is full it cau be
detached aud another attached, and the
setting go on until such time as the com
positor feels that he would like to justify,
l hen there is an ingenious apparatus to assist
this operation. The filled galley is fastened
iu the appurtus and the power is turned on.
Each line in succession is pushed into a con
trivance like a stick, where the necessary
spaces can be added or substituted. The
compositor does not lift the line of type at
any time, aud the justifying line holder is
as convenient as the stick would be. There
is no distributing apparat us. That part of
the werk needs still to be done by the com
positor.
It is claimed for the machine that news
paper bands of ordinary ability will be ablo
to set and justify from 2.000 to 2.500 ems an
hour, while speedier hands will do as h igh as
3,500. The skilled compositor will be still
required, and he need learn no new art. He
dispenses with the stick and gets in its stead
the justifying machine assistant. Each
machine will set three sizes of type. The
expense of the machines, though not yet
fixed, will be only about one teeuth that
of tvpe-setting machines generally em
ployed.
PERPLEXED SEXAGENARIANS.
Married in Pun and Six Hours After
ward Become Very Repentant.
From the New York World.
Another case of marrying in haste to re
pent at leisure has just been made public,
and this time the parties to the transaction
are old enough to have known better. The
newly-made husband is Samuel Weil, 00
years old, of Newark, and the bride was
Mrs. Caroline Poppitz, one year his senior,
who lives in Brooklyn, and who formerly
resided in Newark.
Tuesday night Taggart Beck entered
Fleigenheimers wine rooms on Market
street, Newark, with Mrs. Poppitz. Mr.
Beck tiad been disposing of some property
for Mrs. Poppitz, and she was on her wav
home. Weil, with others, was there, and
some pleasant talk passed lietweeu them.
All hands were feeling happy when Beck
said:
"Our friend Weil, here, is a widower and
Mrs. Poppitz is a widow. Why should they
not get married right awav?”
The suggestion received the unanimous
approval of all present. Someone proposed
to ask Mayor Haynes to marry the couple.
The Mayor was found at his home, and.
though it was nearly midnight, ho readily
consented to do his share in making the
aged lovers happy. The Mayor performed
the ceremony. 1 lien the party marched in
a solid body to Fruolinsspeld’s Hall, Wil
liam street, where there was lots of eating
and drinking and speech making.
Six or seven hours liter it dawned on
Mr. and Mi’s. Weil that they bad made con
summate fools of them -el ves aid their
opinions hurmoniwd on this point toaT.
Weil is something of a philosopher and he
took things rather coolly, saying that there
was no use in crying over it. Mi’s. Weii was
more demonstrative.
"My children and my sister will go wild
wheu iliev know this. ’ They will drive me
away ami won't have anything to do with
you. Oh, what have I douo! We ought to
have known better.”
She then hurried home to Brooklyn yes
terday morning after she had come to her
senses. She forgot to leave her address
with her midland, and he is at a loss as to
where .she can be found. It is suspected
that he won’t, bother himself very much
about that, though.
One of VVeil’s daughters, when questioned
about the affair, said:
"l can hardly lielieve that my father has
got married, as lie had no occasion to take
such a step and always said be would never
marry again. He cau’t earn much mouey.
as he is unable to do much work, and we
own all that’s in this house. There are five
of us here—three girls and two boys- -and
we don’t want father to bring this woman
home here. We don’t know her or any
thing about her.”
It is said that the party first applie 1 to 1
Justice Otto to marry the couple, and that j
after his refusal they calied upon the Mayor.

To the Public.
Propeetus Tor Spring and Somir 1888.
The unprecedented trade in our Millinery Business dur
ing 1887 is owing to the constantly adding of Novelties and
the immense increase of our stock, which is doubtless the
Largest ok Any Retail Millinery in America, exclusive of
New York, and our three large floors cannot hold them.
Already our importations, Direct from Europe, are ar
riving, and on Our Third Floor we are opening Novelties
for Spring and Summer in Ribbons, French Flowers and
Feathers in the Most Beautiful aud Novel Shades. We
are sorry to be compelled, for want of room, to close our
Winter Season so soon, which has been so very successful,
and from to-day all our Felt Hats, Fancy Feathers and
Trimmed Hats will be sold at any price. Our Ribbon Sale
will continue until further notice.
