Cockerill, the well known New York edi tor, were brothers, and that they spelled their names differently for some reason This statement was at once challenged, for the very good reason that it was not true; but there would have been no very great wonder had it been true, for each one at the table was able at once to recall some instance in which members of the same family spelled their name differently or changed it entirely. And indeed Colonel Cockerill and Senator Cockrell are kins men and their ancestors’ names were once spelled in the same way. As these men were journalists It was natural for them all to jump at once upon the instance in their own profession where one of its most distinguished members spelled his name in a way different from that used by others of his family. Mr. William Henry Hurlbert, who was the editor of The World before Mr. Pulitxer bought that property, was a brother of General Stephen llurlbut, who represented Illinois in congress, and who died while minister to Peru. They were both boro in South Carolina, ami yet ever since either of them attracted public attention they spelled their names differently. I have heard many fantastic reasons assigned for the difference, but none of them seemed worthy of credence. The truth probably is that Mr. Hurlbert, who Isa very scholar ly man, had U-arned in his researches that “Ijert” was the original way of spelling the last syllable of his name and he restored it *> that, while the general was content to keep his as he got it from his father. Another gentleman present at the lunch eon recalled that General Abram Dnryee, who was colonel of the famous Seventh regiment s^me half century ago, and who when the war broke out took the pictur esq ue “Duryee’s Zouaves” to the front, spelled his name differently from others of his family—the great starch manufactur ere, for instance, the Duryeas of Glen Cove. We were literally flooded with in stances where one brother Smith would keep his name as it had been given to him, while another would make it Smyth or Smythe. Ami the same was said of Drown, Browne and Droun. But these are of too common occurrence to provoke comment. There died a few montha ago an author who a quarter of a century ago was a man of note and had been ao for years before. He had stopped literary work long ago, however, and when he passed away hail been almost forgotten. This was Herman Melville, who wrote ‘‘Types—A Peep at Polynesian Life,” ‘‘Oraoo—A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas,” and other tales of life at sea. Mr. Melville had added an “t” to his name, as his grandfather, Major Thomas Melvill, hud done without it for more than eighty years. This Major Melvill, by the way, was a member of the party which threw the tea overboard in the Boston harbor In those stirring times of royal aggression and Colonial revolt. This old Major Melvill was distingui thed, too, in another regard, as he was the last man in the United States to habitually wear the cocked hat and knee breeches of the Continental period. He died in 1832. Doubtless Mr. Herman Melville hut re stored an *‘e” which by some chance had been dropped. An instance was recalled of two broth- ere.both distinguished public men, bearing entirely different names. These two were Captain Alexander S. Mackenzie, of ‘he United States navy, and United Suites Senator John Slidell, of Isiuisiana. And each of these made a great stir in his day. Captain Mackenzie commanded the war ship Somers In 1842, and while at sea whut was thought to be a mutiny was discov ered. The leader* were ordered to be bunged at the yardarm, though one of them. Midshipman Spencer, was the son of the secretary of war. Tills naturally raised no end of a row when Captain Mackenzie’s ship reached New York; but the authorities sustained him in his action and public opinion was with him. But it is an episode in the hi* lory of the navy which will never be for gotten, and every now and again the con troverey over Mackenzie’s action breaks out afresh. A year or two ago Gail Ham liton published a long review taking the Spencer side. Mackenzie’s brother, John Slidell, was an actor in another drama at sea. and one of more farreaching importance than that in which young Spencer lost his life. In 180! Slidell, of Louisiana, and Mason, of Virginia, were sent by the Confederates to Europe on diplomatic business. They sailed from Havana on the English steamer Trent. Captain Charles Wilkes, coni munding the United States man-of-war San Jacinto, intercepted the Trent, and taking off Messrs. Slidell and Mason car ried them as prisoners to Fort Warren, in Boston harbor. The Trent affair created a great stir all over the world. Captain Wilkes was commended by the navy dei>u’tmunt and received the thanks of congress for his action, but his prisoners were set free by the president, who also apologized to the British government. To have maintained the justice of Captain Wilkes' action the United States would have had to atMUidon its contention against the right of search at sea, about which the Americans went to war with Great Britain in 1812. This John Slidell and his brother, Captain Mackenzie, were, by the way, na tives of New York city, where a very long time ago their father, a Slidell, was a merchant in the "Swamp,” as that locality Is called in which the leather trade is lo cuted. The difference in the names was not due to any quarrel, but for private family reasons. Phips and Phipps are very common and very excellent names in New England. The first Phips of which there is record was Sir William Phips, who was governor of Massachusetts in the Seventeenth een tury. He spelled his name with only one *p” at the end, and his spelling is pre served by many of his descendants, though just as many others lengthen it by the ail dition of another “p.” In the time of Sir William people were not particular about spelling, and it may be that the later Phippses know quite aa well as he did how many “p’s” they are entitled to. In South Carolina there are two branches sf one distinguished family both bearing Ike same name, one being spelled, how ever, “Simms” and the other “Sims.” The bent known member of the family of twe •‘mV’ was W. Gilmore Simms, the poet and novelist, and of those who found that ooe “m” would suffice, the most distin guished was Dr. J. Marion Sima, the great surgeon who made a world wide reputa tion as a gynecologist and who died only a few years ago in New York. The Gilmores, too, have many Various ways of speMing their names, and yet they are sprung from a common source. The late General Quincy Adams Giilmore, of the engineer corps of the United States army, spelled his name with one more ‘T* than does Mr. James R. Gilmore (Edmund Kirke), and yet they are cousins. And then those of the same name in Baltimore drop the ‘V Jlnd spell their name Gilnior, while the Scotch branch of the family drop the :t e” and add a “a,” making their name Cilmonr. And farther south, in Virginia and North Carolina, the name becomes Gil mm-. At ks the same name all the . are few better known families in *the United Suites than the Biddlea, of * Philadelphia. Indeed, they used to be sc numerous in the Quaker City that It wo> •aid In jest that the population there wa» made up of Biddles and a few others. This is the siune name, slightly altered as Be die, which is well known in New Jersey and has been liorne there by some of the most distinguished men of the state. Both of these names are, however, altered from the old English name of Beadle. The man who made this form of the name most widely known in America waa be who pub lished a quarter of a century ago the “Dime Novels.” which were the forerun tiers or tne cneap Docks which crowd to* newsstands today. Forceythe Willson, the poet who wrote the ‘‘Old Sergeant,” had rather a peculiar way of spelling both of his names, and we learn from the biographical dictionaries that he had dropped the name of Byron, which was Lis first given name. Had he chosen to keep that great name, proisibly he would have restored that to its original spelling and written it “Biron.” Any of the family bearing the name of Rodgers—illustrious in the annals of the United States navy—would not in the least be pleased to Is* addressed without the **d’' which distinguishes this name from plain Rogers. Mr. Weir and Mr. Ware both sprang from a common stock, as did al the Whiteleysand Whitleys, the Thomsons and the Thompsons, the Johnsons and tin Johnstons, and so on and so on. To alight ly change the spelling of one’s name in volves no necessity to get the sanction of n court of record or of a state legislature This is necessary, however, when the nanu is to be changed so radically as to create uiavic acuity, rie was toe predecessor oi Harrigan, although his dramas were full of blood and thunder while Harrigau’s are pure farce*.

Another play which was a genteel farce, and which was called the “Big Bonanza,” gave the same opportunity for showim: rich dresses, aod Mr. Daly established his fame as a purveyor of amusements foi what wan theu the Four Hu ml ml of New York. He met with ImiJ luck after awhile. Hi* theater burned down, there was some bit ter personal feeling aroused between him self and some of hi* company and he went awny to Euro *e. where it was announced that be would return o* dramatic compo sition. Whether he did or not he alom knows. He came back to New York sorn* mid lieen frequented by the lively young j men of t he town, for there Lydia Tbo.np | sou and Pauline Markham and Eln.« Weathersby. when they were in then glory, disported and burlesqued. There too, church choir “Pinafore” com|>auio sang, and it seemed audacious for Daly to attempt to make this theater the home ol the most fashionable people in New York when seeking dramatic amusement. But he did it, and now he i* about to attempt a play of his own upon that stage. Daly is pi-oliahly the tieat liked and tip nmines greklrt. Mr. Greeley has, with his snowy hair and beard, his mild blue eyes and |>eaceful ex pression. not only a strong resemblance to his gifted brother, but also to his late charming sister Esther, the wife of Fitch Cleveland, who was one of Horace Greeley’* editorial staff on The Tribune. Barnes Greeley is, an ^ I ways has been. | discipline U reported to be that of a mar liuet, and Le rules his company with a rot. ' of iron. Men and w’otnen who have won i repute as comedians have left his compnu) ! liearing away the most hitter malignity toward him. Yet he has managed to keej ; an organization which certainly is regard ; ed in New York as the best company fo» i the representation of pure comedy which | is in existence, and that seems to be tin j opinion also in laondon, where he play> every season. Daly in his personality is peculiar. H* is something of a recluse. Most manager- are models of fashionable attire and an resplendent in jewels. Daly goes to tin other extreme, and seems to be so ah sorls'd in his vocation a* to care but little for bis personal appearance. He is some times seen during a performance glidiiu down the aisle near the wall, his long hail lapping his coat collar and seeming not to have U*eu recently brushed. His coat it self bears evidence that it is worn for ne ccssity and not for display. His head an shoulders have the stoop which character izes u student, and his face is always sol emu and his manner imperturbable. He has made and lost several fortunes He has known what grout poverty is an he has enjoyed the luxury of riches. Hi companionships are with men of literal culture, and he possesses perhaps the fine.- private dramatic library in America. It i nearly thirty years since Mr. Daly bega. hi* dramatic life, and although it 1ms Ik r full of vicissitudes, yet to the casual eye 1 seems not a day older than he was win his drama, “The Street* of New York, was creating a great sensation just afu the war.
