The late President McKinley'B rela tions with the newspaper correspond ents were almost always cordial,, and be never seemed half so anxious to keep them aloof as his attendants were. One of his last vacations as president was taken In the Adlrondacks. Thither went a newspaper photographer on the speculation that he might possibly get some snapshots of the chief executive In his hoars of ease. For two or three I nrvrrxs the photoobapheb to comb iliONQ. days the enterprising camera man had bard luck, for the caretaker of the place kept him out of photographing distance from the president Then by good luck he met McKlnley face to face and told him what he wanted. "Is It of great consequence to yon to get these pictures? queried McKlnley. Being assured that It was, he Invited the photographer to come along and bring nls camera at once. Then both Mr. McKlnley and his wife posed as many times as the photographer asked them to, greatly to the tatter's delight and profit as a matter of course. The Limit of Patience.

A Joke Fvoaa the Beach. Notwithstanding his twenty-two years ot service on the bench, Lord Justice Mathew still preserves that elasticity of spirit and love of a Joke which has distinguished him all through his ca reer. One of his remarks the other day created great merriment in the court of appeal. A learned king's counsel was arguing the question as to what Is an "accident" and was putting In stances of what he considered would properly come within that term and What, on the other hand, would not "Suppose," said he, "some one were to hit me In the eye and my eye became black In consequence, the fact of it be coming black could not be called an ac cident'' "Perhaps not," said the lord Justice, "but yon would doubtless ex plain It on that ground."

The first authentic aews of the loss of the New York fishing steamer Beatrice was received last night la the shape of a mestsce over the weather bureau's sea coast telegraph from Ceffey's Inlot, N C, which stated that Capt L M Saow, keep er of the life-saving station at that point reported that the stern of a vessel bot tom npwards had washed ashore la the breakers two sad oae-balt miles south of the station. The wreck was marked "Beatrice, of New York," which leaves no doubt of the fate of the vessel, which sailed on her ill-fated trip from Cape Charles aad wss caught la the hurricane which recently swept op the coast The message from the inlet farther stated that It was impossible to get farther par ttcuiars last night and that this morning at low tide, If the sea permits, the life savers will board the wreck. The Beatrice sailed from Jape Charles on Tuesday, September 15, in company with the fishing steamers Atlantic and Swan. The Atlantic arrived here in a badly battered condition after s desper ate battle with the hurricane and the Swan haa since arrived at Delaware Breakwater. On board of the Beatrice were thirty men, all of whom are believed to have gone down with the Bhlp. The friend?, families and relatives of the men who ware aboard have been hoping against hnpe and many inquiries as to the fate 0? the crew have been nude. AROUND AND ABOUT.
