than men for eveS the most reckless nf conductors are a little afraid of sending forth abuse where there is I chance of their getting something more than 1 xerbal rebuke Dnrinc the storm of Saturday a conductor on a Broadway way oar not only spoke with unwarranted sharpness to women but abused them with so 8 much profanity that he was eventually taken to task by a man who stood with the crowd on

exceptional man Is pretty sure to be Imitated whether the characteristic which distinguish him from the rent of tbe world are meritorious or not The Influence ot the conduct speech or writings ot a conspicuous man are sure to befell The same philosopher has also observer that when a man Is Influenced by another he Imttnos him consciously or unconsciously In some striking detail of bin personal appearance Hn may copy the cut of his beard or the twist of his moustache or the xtylo of bis clothes or a number of other things I many persons admire one man they may Inlluomed differently Each may copy I different characteristic I some particularly striking characteristic however be prominent enough to dwarf all others It Is probable that Imitators lll copy that not observing any other Kaiser Wllholm grandfather of the present Emperor had his beard trimmed In a peculiar style the mut tonchop whisker lad moustache being larger than those usually Or Probably sevctal hundred thousand Germans In various parts ot the world wore exactly tbe same style of beard In fact the ordinary German felt Intensely happy If he could cult vate such a beard He wont Into ocstacles It anybody noticed 1 resemblance between his facial appearance and that of the Emperor No doubt tbe Iron Chancellor had thousands of imitators The late Bayard Taylor recognized the Iml tatlxe disposition of men In his description ot his visit to California In the dl1 of 49 Taylor was a passenger on board a sailing cssal which bore many gold hunters from the Isthmus of Panama to the Golden Gate Ho In common with most of the other passengers was strongly Impressed by that rp1ir iie nnd notionof ntnniturn man who bore a striking facial resemblance to the first Napoleon The man had evidently studied ne portraits of the Illustrious Frenchman At a certain hour every day he walked to the bows of the vessel and looked steadfastly across boa distinctly recalling the painting of Napoleon ou his wav to Bt Helena His cloak was WI appod about him his arms were folded I his brows wero knit and his entire attitude tokoned complete absorption In reverie He wee generally addressed as Napoleon I WH lnornly The HouUncor beard is another characteristic feature Tbe valiant Frenchman may have copied his beard from the Illustrious King Henry but I wits Boulangers prominence und not King Henrys that induced men to copy the beard But to come nearer home it would be interesting to know how many thousands of persons are imitating personal characteristics of hauncey 31 Dopew A prominent American said bat ho believed there ate lOOUO Atueit cans many of whom have never i len Mr Depew attempting to Imitate his facility of speech Umiucstonably threequarters of the wouldbe orators strito with every effort to acquire his Interesting ready keen address Mr Depew while ready to peak upon the subject generally was not desirous of referring to himself particularly I am quite con Incod he said ut the correctness of the proposition 1 have observed it myself frequently i know for instance that there were many imitators of Kulua Cboato As you will remember this brilliant orator bad some peculiar tricks of action which were hardly noticed by his listeners in their admiration of his eloquence but when the many wouldb orators imitated him they became ridiculous His ItO of gymnastics did not detract from his oratory because of Its excellence but when the mental matter was poor the athletic exhibition only mado the Imitator ridiculous There were hundreds and thousands of men undoubtedly whn were Influenced by Henry War Beecher How many copied nil oersonal characteristics und Imitated his personal appearance would bn bard to say I have no doubt that many did Men unconsciously acquire little tricks of speech or action which originated with somebody else 1reaident Arthur originated a style In carrying tbe cane which for 1 time was exceedingly popular The late President being a man ot natural cheerfulness and buoyancy of mind unconsciously revealed his animal spirits ny gracefully twirling hIs cane with nimble fingers Within a very short time after thin characteristic I style developed hundreds of his

bt has the reputation of being the most polite and courteous man In New York No matter how busy he may be the visitor to his office Is received with a courtesy and po litanies that Is as surprising ns It Is gratifying But not less surprising than his courtesy and politeness is the attitude ot every employee In his offices The influence of his example has moulded all his assistants evendown ta the office boy to a wonderful degree tc The visitor to Cob fnzersolls office Is Impressed by the fact that the employees there are unlike those In any other office Tho Colonels spirit seems to pervade the entire establishment Tne assistants approach the lsltor In a frank straightforward manner that makes him feel comfortable at once The blunt way of speaking Is a perfect Imitation of the Colonels own manner te Concerning this ubect a careful observer remarked In my opinion this Imitation of personal characteristics Is the outgrowth or a natural Inclination Inborn lu almost avery individual to begin 1 great work with 1 comparatively paratively insignificant step 1 believe that out of ten men ambitious to write a great novel finn will Invariably begin by writing the tte Of those nine probably eight will never get any farther It Is exactly the same with the average men who attempt to emulate the examples ot great men They copy the little things among which ate the personal mannerisms and characteristics first because they a com paratixely easy Very fewof them get any further becau every onward step re uulres ability and Industry Out nf ten men Who desire to be like Mr Depew probably one will In some measure succeed i speak now of ten men elected nt random all possessed of a burning dealt to emulate the object of tholr admh alan Of 118 other nine I doubt that eight will have either the ability or persistency to go beyond the Imitation of some striking mannerism The ninth may advance in some dorco but probably not very avance Any number of Insimi could be

will have to walt a little while This entrance Is closed for the present You can I you wish go byway of the office He spoke In a verylowtone which Impressed his listeners Whats tbo matter asked a gentleman There Is a funeral party comtngdown here The guests looked at him amazement What funeral at this hour of the night they exclaimed The porter nodded his head affirmatively and gently clood the door In their faces They went away and presently a hearse and two carriages that hnd been standing In the shadow moved forward to point In front of the entrance The coffin covered with a black cloth rested on two chairs In the centre ot one of the small parlors up stairs A graybearded man and a young girl of about 15 sat bosldo It They were evidently thn mourners The girl was weeping and tabbing while the man stared heavily and broken heartedly at the blank wall In ono corner stotfd two men They wero the unueitnker anti one of his assistants The former was giving the latter llnal Instructions The Hunts In the later Illal IDtltonl loom wohj turned low Thor wore no lowers and nothing to disturb the heavy unpleasant mourniul air home 01 tho turulimn had been moved over Into one corner to make room for this coffin About the time that the theatre party had been refiiied aiuilsMon the undertaker looked ut nit xvntcb 1 was exeetly 11 oclock lie glanced hesitatingly I at the two mourners and then Le closed his watch with a snap and nlko1 Olel to tilout It Is time lor its to be moving he said everything Is I testy I and nothing will he coined by further delay ilao you any further instructions sir I Thn man shook his head sadly put bin arm around the sobbing girl and urof with her Thu assistant undertaker came over and helped his emploxor remove lie pall the coffin rested In a wooden box lined with metal ltn cover was oil and thu slide In tho tip of the cofiln was open Under the glass could los the face of a woman of middle age Tbeie were some gray hairs among too dark but most of the wrIDk1 had been smoothed out by death A plate on the cobb born her name and ago and It required no deep penetration to understand that slid was the wife of the man whose

assistant closed the sllda in the coitin and ptitthe cover on the box then ho wont out Into the hal abd nodded to several other men who canto in and helped hlmcarry tho conin down stairs The mourners hollowed dlreutly behind They went at once Into the first carriage behind the hearse lbs hotel porter were just putting the last Items of bar aga Into the second carnage One of the clerks came out shook the mans band and bade him a sympathetic adieu From the way in which ha addressed him It was evdont that the man bad boen a frequent guest at the hotel No sooner wore the doors of the carriages closed than tbe Undertaker cllmbod up beside the driver on the hearse and the two assistants went onto the boxes of tbe coaches The procession started down Broadway at a rapid pace There was nothing of tbe slow and dignified about this funeral march Time was aluable At the junction of Broadway and Fifth avenue tbe procession turned off to the latter thoroughfare and went down across Washington square and South Fifth avenue and thence through various dark and narrow side streets to the Desbrosses Street Ferry The ride depressing enough to tbe mourners under any circumstances was rendeied doubly so by the black silent and tortuous streets through which they had come Tbo undertaker and his assistants ilidnt think ot this but congratulated themselves upon having come justin time tn catch tbe boat they wanted tme The mourners still remained In their carriage after the latter had been driven upon the boat and did not loaxe It until they entered the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot In Jersey City All arrangements for their further travel bad already been made The coffin In Its box was quickly transferred to I baggage car and the mourners entered one ot the sleeping coaches Berths had been reserved for theta I was the 1215 night express As the undertaker stuck Dljbt his he said head Into the car to bid them goodnight Everything is all right sir I have made Inquiries You will reach Pittsburgh atO5U tomorrow and willconnect there for Toledo wher tomorrow due at4lfi Uoodrdght1 This was only a typical night funeral Probably many New Yorkers hae wondered at the sight ot funeral processions passing through the dark side streets about the time that most citizens are going bed There are various reasons for them One Is of the sort Indicated by this tale Visitors to New York who are stopDlng at our hotels and suddenly die there are usually removed at night The reason for this Is plain By taking the body away at night the mourners are able to reach their homes early enough the next day to give time lor the funeral services and the Interment This is especially true where the destination Is so far removed irom this city that any morning train could not reach I until too late to permit immediate burlnU The same thing may be true of country visitors to private houses In tbe city but there Is not the same necessity for Immediate removal from a private bouse as there is 1

they have been In use I tor some time In Canada Some years ago the Buffalo Curlers built a covering over the sheets butthe organization did not prosper nnd Its buildings disappeared Thus It chanced that the honor of being tbo first wellestab lished cnrllng club In this State to have I clubhouse and covered sheets belongs to the Albany City Curling Club which afforded almost all tho sport enjoyed by curling clubs of this section last winter Tho covered sheets ot the Albany Club are typical of those now In use wherever a curling club of any size Is located A first requisite for a shoot Is a solid earth surface ot clay level led up with fine gravel or sand The length of this must be about 142 feet and the width of each sheet from six and a half to eight feet The surface as prepared Is divided by a plank walk tending through tho centre nnd parallel with the longer sides The two long surfaces ou either aide of the walk ore the shouts The whole Is covered by a long low shedlike structure furnished with narrow but numerous apertures through which cold air may circulate One end of this building Is partitioned off Into two small parlors provided with windows facing the shoots where the more delicate visitors of the club may comfortably sit and watch the game With the first touch of cold weather the clubs attendant coos forth with large water me pot nnd only sprinkles water upon the prepared surfaces Thin freezes almost as soon ns sprinkled und another layer of lee Is quickly I added This Is I repeated until on either side of the uentril walk there is a phect of lop I
