KOTES ABOUT THE BIG CITY - On may walk about New Tork. inutrlng ona'e way. and not be shocked with tha) slse of the place tha coppera and mall-carrier and Idle lackey will direct him by blocka and number. But the other day I waa chocked with it. The boat on which I had passage was to leave at 'I, and there wa not a great neai of time to snare. Thinki I, I will go to th Osborne law office and a how metropolitan lawyers fix them selves. Not far from The Time building. I naked a copper. "Where la JimM W. Osborne's law office the fallow you voted-for for district at torney?" Ha pointed. "It's three and a half milea down that way." he aid. He quieted the shock, however. when he added ": nine minutes Dysuo way." Another way to get a Just Impression of tha city distances Is to take tha front car on the elevated ; the lone, straight-sway stretches of railroad track might lead you to think you were down here at tha Carolina Central. If the lailer were double-tracked. m Th New Yorker themselves do not aces to have much Idea of pro vlnclal distances. I was talking to tha aaeoclate editor of McClure's Magasln. Mr. Bynner. whan Mr. Mo Clura, whoa office adjoined, came In to get a paper. "North Carolina, h said, apropos of my presence. "That'a where O. Henry came from. Isn't It?" "If eo." said I. "he kept powerful quiet before he came. Mr. Bynner laughed. "No; O. Henry came from Texas." "Oh, well, said Mr McClure "that'a about the same thing." Another thing about the bigness of New Tork: when you come home everybody wants to know If you went to soma particular place. "To the Hippodrome?" "No." "To Little Hungary?" "No." "To Coney?" "No." "To see the Music Master?" "No." "On the Wonders-of-New Tork tallyho trip?" "Well, where the thunder did you go? Were you asleep?" It will bore you as badly as the unmannerly cataloguing of popular novels you haven't read. As for me, X don't regret missing the Hippo drome or any of those other things. I aauntered and took my time, and talked to all classes of people, and waa more and more surprised that Lanier should have written back to his wife that he had walked those streets all day and hadn't seen an . eye that was conscious It had a heart behind It. Everybody I spoke to that ,1a, everybody who knew English, and I saluted, a good many who didn't replied most courteously, and not a few of them stopped to talk a while. I whs on the car, en route back to my hotel the second night I waa there. I was leaning on the tall-gat, where they will let you amoka. and waa talking to the con ductor. A well-dressed young man, overhearing, asked me. "North or Mouth Carolina?" and when I had answered, he said. "I knew It was one or the other. If you will get off with me at the next stop I'll give you dinner." Having no family To mourn me, I told him all solid The dinner was In the New York Athletic Club We swapped names, his being K. W. Foreat. Over the good dinner which he ordered and the tO-cent cigars I noticed him sign for. h told me thst his grandparents had come from Atlanta: th.H he dis approved of T. Hoosevelt and gloried in itaney and Tillman; that, though ha had never been Houth. he knew what a dead-game sport n Houthern man Is. for his grandparents had rome from havannah; and o on. He swore he could leat mr a game of pool, but 1 showed him thst I could spot him balls. In furt, I never saw a man enjoy an evening ao much. He reveled In the romnnce of picking up a lonely strsnger and lavishing klncln.n on him. He didn't want ir..- t think, ha anld. that New York was Inlioxpltul.le. That I. for my part, whs having a good time need hardly be snld. It vrn sll I could do to k-ep fr m luushlng outright at tha droll. :-y of the thing, for It was perfectly evident thst Mr. forest had no ulterior motives The first thing he did when we entered th elub was to telephone his people that ha would not be home till late H waa. aa C'apt. Wright would say "a plum curiosity" to me; he wouldn't let m share expeim. for the rules f th club he told mr-wouldn't permit my paying at all, at all; und whan It came tlge to go. he was not eat laded to tell me good-hy at the csvr, but would hear 10 nothing hut going with me to my hotel, aay. 1! blocka away. Oh, he did the thing i tip ao brown that I lie awake nights aow, smiling at the memory of him. Ha was a broker; we had no study of , mutual Interest to talk about; yet . w talked, and the hours went by like a novelty show. So don't ask me about th Hippo drome. 1 wouldn't trad Mr. Edwin Walden Kort for It and Coney in fs gimp!, I stood In th little park on Union , ftquare, atarlng about me. My eye '; fell on a big sign.

Of course, nothing else waa com parable to my visit to the Players Club.-to which -Mr. Qlldar Intro duced me. We sat at a table with David Blspham, th grand opera alngar, Robert Reld. the painter (both of whom come of Southern an- ceatrv).

' After lunch Mr. Qllder took m up to th room whr Ed win Booth lived and died. It is carefully preserved as h lft It. The windows give out on Oramercy Park, and it waa easy to Imagine the great actor (the Sargent portrait of whom hung on th wall) lounging In on of his leathern chalra and looking out on the aunshlne and green leaves. All the walls of the club ere crowded with portrait and souvenirs. As we walked back. Mr. Glider showed me. next door to the club, th home of Tilden. "The Sage of Gramaroy Park." and a few doora farther th church wherein 'William Cullen Brysnt's funeral waa conducted, while Walt Whitman and Mr. Qllder, by reason of the crowd, stood out side, hand In hand, until th services were over.

T)m Time Opportune for Launching a Htrong ure Insurance tjompanjr and HelnahnOn Should Not Htand In the Way. , To the Editor of Th Observer. The writer Is a subscriber, In a small amount, to the capital atock of the Dixie Fir Inauranc Covnpany, to which company reference la made by Mr. Wlttkowsky In his card in your Issue of the Jrd of June. This subscription waa necessarily small, because being financially un able to make It larger and waa made purely from a disinterested stand point, and would have been made. the conditions being the same, had he company originated In Kam- hatka, Instead of In Greensboro. Other business men In Charlotte are also subscribers to the stock of th said company, actuated, probably, by he same self-interested motives that prompted the writer. Consequent upon the disastrous osses sustained by the insurance companies In the recent Ran Fran- Isco holocaust all of which Is In deed deplorable and enllsta our deepest sympathy the time Just now sems to some to b most opportune for the launching of a financially strong, well managed and conserva- Ively officered fire Insurance com- any. If sufficient support snd en- hualasm. snd both apparently are entirely lacking, cannot be aroused n Charlotte In behalf of euch an en- erprlse. are we, therefore. Justified declining to lend our aid and sslstance to others In the Pt ate, who re progressive and Intuitively far- Ighted enough to grasp the exlgen les of the situation and avail them selves of the existing favorable con- It Ions, to undertake the organisa tion of such a company. My first bject at affection In Charlotte and my loyalty to her. I yield to no one to see her grow and prosper nd to become the pride of the Ktate, ut If not, then my second object at dmlratlon Is North Carolina, lo see her. If possible, become the banner Commonweslth of the Union. If then, Charlotte la content to allow such an opportunity to pass, there Is scant honor to some of us in Invoking the aid of the baby act by declining to "play with" our other active and alert slater rltlcs of th mate. Huoh selllshneaa borders on nigotry and has never yet proven a valunble asset to any Individual or community. Possibly Mr. Wlttkowakv haa com mand of the "brain and means' ncoery to an. i-easrully float a $1,000,000 company. but. unfortu nateiy, he has time and again pub. llcly announced that he would sub- ecrllt" to no enterprise In which he. personally, did not own &l per cent, of Its capital atock A query might naturally arise Just here In the minds of some what would become of the remaining 41 per cent?

' Though the woman movement Is making vast strides and gathering converts in many unlikely places even the moat hardened suffragette will be Interested In the new that Corea Ik the latest scene of war In th Indie' battle. The movement takes a similar form lo that which it has shown rlrwwhere, and la Inter eating If only from this point of view. as arguing the pnaalbllltlea of a big united movement in the distant fu ture on tho part of all progreaslve women.

The women who have allied them selves to this movement are drawn from the upper middle claaa and have opened a woman's club, and have embodied the Idnaa already noted in a manifesto, which Is s truly amaslng document. The mem bers of the new club are doffing their native costumes, and going In for a terrible European compromise, In which the Inevitable spectacles, al ways associated with learning, play ar conspicuous part. Ths club haa grown-up members and also young schoolgirls, who, to snow tneir independence, are allowed to go to school and In the street minus the sheltering "apron" (a head covering) which la always worn by the Corean feminine when before the public gase.

Ask Mr. Pearsall what he was paid- for services In the case of Beckton'va. Lumber Company and Railroad Company and that of Par rott y. Railroad Company. ' He will not deny receiving twice the amount for bis services in theae case that he amid In his letter his salary la atut col. Pearsall sppears for the people and Is "now preparing to bring a suit against them" (the merger),. "In th Interest of my client ror the sum of 18,100." How did thst suit arise? Did it not arise from an obligation of the Atlantic A North Carolina Railroad made 'before the .road was leased to tha Howland Improvement Company? Did not the Howland Improvement Company assume all the outstanding obligations ot the Atlantic ft North Carolina Rail road when It leased the road? If ao, then we must conclude that when CoL Pearsall appeared for the Atlantic A North Carolina Railroad In the case of Ives vs. Railroad Company, he virtually appeared ror the Howland Improvement Company, on whom the Judgment must Anally fall. Ask Mr. Peat-tall what hla fee for this case will be. Will It not be many times the pen urious tlOO salary? What will he receive for the suit he is about to bring? Will Governor Glenn . pay these bills or will the railroad pay them? Governor Glenn employs him, he says. I suspect that the presi dent and board of directors of the At laltlc A North Carolina Railroad Company employ counsel and pay the bills, and that it Is done by them after consultation among themselves and with the Governor, but I do know thst the railroad company pays the tills. I suggest that Mr. McAlister lake a look at the records of that rail road company In Its office and publish Just what there appears ta to the compensation of CoL. Pearsall. since Governor Glenn was elected. Mi. McAlltser says he knows that Mr. McNeill la "under no Improper Influences'." Some people do not thing It "Improper" to be under the Influence of the railroads and . are frank enough to say so. They ac cept favors and are grateful for them, hence feel under obligations to them. To be otherwise would be Ingratitude. If the railroad's lawyer, the manager of Mr. McNeill's campaign, Col., Pear sall, succeeds In nominating and re electing Mr. McNeill will he feel grateful for It? Grateful to whom? for what? No person phosen under such circumstances would be accept ed as a disinterested Juror and. al lowed to try a case where one of the parties had showered upon him favors und he had accepted fhem. Doea Mr. McNeill deny that he went to Investi gate a wreck on a branch line of the Southern Hallway In Randolph county, traveling In the private car of one of the officers of tne company, and that he dined, or breakfasted with them on that car? Does he deny that he went to Chadbourne In the private car of the Atlantic Coast Lln Railroad to investigate griev ances at that place1 during the berry seaaon of this year, and that he rode away from that place In the private car without making any investigation and that none ha been made yet to local the cause or in complaint: Ask the berry shippers of Eastern North Carolina- about this and see what their reply la Aak them . If 1800,000 will cover their losses by reason of ' insufficient and defective service elven them by the railroad! do not charte mm witn Doing Influenced" to do anything leaa than hla duty In those Investigations, but 1 do say hla actions were calculated to destroy public ' confidence In hla oiriclal report and his omciai act ana the Investigations seem to have hrousht little or no results. Mr. McAlister says, "The corpora tion commission Is a court created ao by statute." That the members of the commission are not Judges and do not exerclso Judicial functions wa decided by North Csroiin supreme Court In the ess of caiawu va wu son, 111 N.
