Andre Trldon, A.M., of the College of the City of New York, last night opened the series of French lectures which arc to be given in Brooklyn this season under the auspices of the Alliance Franeaisc, Adelphi College, and the Brooklyn Institute, at the Adelphi. His subject was "Les Annees do Journalismo de quelques grands Aul.eura." He was connected with several Parisian dailies before coming to this country. M. Trldon said that juurnallsin in France is the entrance door to literature for the young man well educated but poor, lacking the means to wait for glory. Moreover, Journalism Is tho best, school lor the study of life and those who begin thus become realists rather than dreamers.

Nearly all our modern reallsls have been newspaper men." He then described the yi.irs of literary struggles and poverty of Alphonse Hamlet, Paul Mourget, Kmile Zola, and told how tho literary vocation of Pierre Loti was revealed to him by a newspaper article. In conclusion M. Trldon ald: will not necessarily make of a writer a man of genius, but it give him loathing and fontempt for sliamand the slereotypio characters which fill romantic llture, and especially books written by women," GOSSIP OF THE THEATERS.

Wife and Son th Bedaide When Typhoid Claimed It Victim. Expreaaion of regret over the death of Joseph C. Hendrix were universal throughout Brooklyn this morning. The news waa brought to many homes by the Eagle's morning extra, and while his death had been an-tlcipated and expected for some days past because ot the unusually severe character ot his Illness, the announcement of his demise at 12:05 this morning waa a distinct shock to the community. His wife and son were at the bedside at the time.

Mr. Hendrix had been unconscious for three or four hours aud passed away without regaining consciousness. At the house, 882 Carroll street, it was said this morning that funeral arrangements had not been made. Sonio of the members of the Hendrix family have been summoned to Brooklyn and are expected late this afternoon. Upon their arrival definite plans for services and interment will be formulated.

Mr. Hendrix, candidate for Mayor on the Democratic ticket in 1883, and not sue ccssful, elected to Congress where he greatly distinguished himself in postmaster of Brooklyn in a period of energy and reform. banker in this borough and in Manhattan and leader in the club life of Brooklyn, was born at Fayette, Howard County, Missouri, May 25, 1853. HIb father, Adam Hendrix, had sought the West early in life, and in what was three-quarter of a century, ago frontier life began appropriately enough as a teacner i Soon the elder Hendrix' nunlls became financiers, merchants and capitalists in a I small way, and there was urgent need for al hank in the flourishing Missouri town. Adam Hendrix responded to the call, and estab lished a bank, which grew with the growth I ot me community, and, indeed, outstripped it, until the elder Mr.

Hendrix became known as one of the ablest financier in Missouri. The man who in later days became distinguished in the state was a student from his youth up. The distractions of sport and even the allurements of politics, had no attractions for him in the earlier days. The younger Mr. Hendrix attended Central College, In Fayette, and" was graduate from that scat of learning with honor.

He felt, however, imperfectly equipped for the battle of life, and starting East arrived at Ithaca. Mr. Hendrix entered Cornell University on a basis that showed the mettle and the pplrlt of the boy. His father was a wealthy banker, and while, not more indulgent than most American parents, the elder Hendrix was entirely willing "to see his boy through Cornell. But the Central College graduate yearning for the more finished course at an Eastern institution, felt no disposition to burden his father, and started out, while nt Cornell, to earn his own living and pay his own way.

He worked in a printing office and contributed to the local papers, thus earning enough to keep him in decency. While still In Ithaca liis future political course was formed and ho started a daily in the town that taught Tompkins County how good it Is to be a Democrat. v. In 1873 he borrowed $10 from W. O.

Wyc-koff. afterward head of a great typewriter syndicate', and came to 'New York. It is needless to say that the money was promptly repaid, and Mr. Hendrix started on a career alike remarkable for solid: success and persistent effort to advance. Thirl vpn rs ago the New York Sun was a great school of journalism and it was to this noted institution that Mr.

Hendrix, who had set Mr mind on newspaper work, naturally gravitated. He was employed at a small salary and as his usefulness Increased and his powers developed, the money returns increased also. Indeed, so successful did he become that in a few years he was night city editor of the Sun. About twenty-five years ago he was assigned to cover the Brooklyn field. iwurany ne had much to do with the disturbed politics of a generation ago in Brooklyn.

One of the periodical revolution designed to shatter the powers of ex-Kegis-ter Hugh McLaughlin was In progress, its main upholders being Thomas Kinselia and Oeneral Henry W. Slocum. All of the po- niiciti activities oi tnose aays Mr. Hendrix saw and a good part of them he was. From the first he fought reaction in local poll-tics.

He set his face to the front and never permitted me occult parables or ob scurant maxims of Mr. McLaughlin to weighwlth him. Ho had advanced far enough in issn tn ho chairman of the Jefferson Hall conference committee, as the Kinsella-Slonum movement was called, and agitated a reform in primary metnous, wnicn AHred u. Uhapin later had enacted into the statute of the state. In 1881 Mr.

Hendrix was made a member of the Board of Education and remained in that ooay, subsequently becoming its president, for many years. Seth Low was elected mayor In 1881 by a handsome plurality over the late James Howell and gave an acceptable administration for two years. In 188.1 Mr. Low was a candidate for re-election. Ordinarily the Democratic party was united, but the strains of long con filet had weakened the organization and en feebled its leadership.

Mr. Hendrix was nom inated against Mr. Low aud conducted one of the most brilliant campaigns ever undertaken In Brooklyn. He lost the city by a small vote, but from that time on he was the rising man in Democratic politics here. Finance was Mr.

Hendrix's strong point. He knew his figures well. Board of Education bookkeeping was hardly up to the standard a quarter of a century ago and a somewhat Intricate problem concerning the adjustment of salary arrears had vexed the souls ot accountants for years. Mr. Hendrix undertook the work of straightening it out, and succeeded.

This enhanced his fame as a financier and pointed the way to his future success aB a banker. Mr. Hendrix succeeded General Slocum as a trustee of the Brooklyn Bridge and in 1885 became secretary of the board. He was active in the campaign that led to the election of Grover Cleveland in 1884. and in 1886.

when General James MeLeer's term expired Mr. Cleveland made Mr. Hendrix postmaster ot Brooklyn. His administration was characterized by economy, energy and business ability. Indeed, so good a judge as the late Postmaster General Thomas L.

James In a magazine article written at the time characterized Mr. Hendrix as "the Ideal postmaster of the present day." In 1887 Mr. Hendrix was elected president of the Board of Education, and served In that important post for many years. In 1890 he was asked to become a rapid transit commissioner, but declined. In 1891 he could have hud the Democratic nomination for mayor, but maJe no effort to secure the prize.

His reluctance to enter municipal politics was due In a measure to the fact that he had become a financier In a somewhat large way, having in 1889 organized the Kings County Trust Company. He became lis president and continued as such until 1893, when he accepted the presidency of the National Union Bank, which later merged with the Bank of Commerce. In 1892 he had been elected to Tongress, running against Colonel Michael J. uaay. ine colonel was an exceedingly poor second in that race.

In August, 1893, Mr. Cleveland again elected President, called Congress in special session to repeal the Sherman sliver law. and Mr. Hendrix's contribution to the oratory of the occasion was one or me beet delivered In the House. He announced his absolute adherence to the gold standard of values, and his speoch was so statesmanlike that Abram 8.

Hfj lost hia own Hfo nnd those of the nun with him because ho wouldn't allow Jerome Collins, sturdy. Elrong and vnlorous. to lead the forlorn hope for rescue. Collins was newspaper man, a "civilian" and. therefore, hors concours.

And poor Collins, whom everybody loved. dU'd for a sentimental devotion to so railed discipline. Give the discipline of Nelson, who couldn't hoc an order that he knew to be wrong. How much greater would be the glory of the commandant of the 'Light Brigade' to-day if he had sent word to Lord Raglan to go to the devil and refused to make that, charge into the 1 Valley of Tennyson would be the only man who had lost a trick! Kngllah valor would be quite as well recognized. It was a blunder, and nobody deserves credit for a blunder.

It is like a sober man whipping a drunken antagonist. If he defeats him. he is disgraced; If ho is beaten by the intoxicated man, he Is doubly put to shamn. Of course not a living man will contend at this time that the Bulaklava charge ought to have boon made. The charge of the under Scarlett, was very different; it had definite purpose, which the 'Light' event did not.

"However. I started out with the intention of saying posiiively that the terrible blunder of the Baltic Hoot in the North Sea was entirely due to too much discipline. No doubt, the officers had road Kipling's fool story: but that, merely furnishes 'Their Lawful The fact is that discipline has destroyed efficiency In the Russian navy. "The same thing has already happened in the German navy. I assure you that a terrible revelation will occur whenever Germany gets into a naval wartaro with one of the sea powers of Europe.

I do not think of anything that will illustrate what I mean better than- a play which I saw recently. It was produced at first as a literal translation of a Gorman masterpiece and masterpiece ft was, because trtie to life. The great scene in thn play waa that in hich a subaltern decides not to shoot the betrayer of his daughter because, forsooth, he had been trained to take orders tor the villain aud to kill him meant insubordination. Fear of punishment didn't cut any figure. It was the fear of being insubordinate.

(it course, lo the average American this suggestion ru-. calls thn episode of the. exact Englishman, who wouldn't, awaken the' struttger he found In his bed because he had nev-r been Introduced to him. Couldn't be rudo about such matters, but if it were a question of a half-penny's worth of anything in commerce, the Britisher could be the "nastiest" to quote hiH own language person imaginable. For my part, so far as the amenities of social life are concerned, I'd rather do business with an Apache than an Irascible British tradesman.

"What has been said of Ihe German and Russian navies is equally true of the French. The French commanders I have met. in the ports of the world are Chesterfields. What, pies they'd be in a running fight like that off Santiago! I mean to say, that lnnn and Decatur are the true types of tho efficient naval commander of the hour! Nelson wasn't to be stopped by mere perfunctory orders! He knew what ho wanted to do and did it. If he had failed he'd have gone tip to the yard-arm with a noose about bis neck, with the same complacency that he placed his glass to bis blind eye.

In the army, it may be somewhat, but in the navy It. Is dash that counts. There mustn't be a man aboard ship who cannot be suoeeodeii by another man quite a fti- cient. as ho Is.

This went on a long time and poor little wife never knew what time Brown came home unless she was awake when he came in. Usually, having a clear conscience and some confidence, she was asleep. The other night Brown, after kissing his wife an affectionate goodnight, said he had left his latch key in the ollico and would like to borrow hor's.

Seeing her opportunity, she slipped into the bedroom and handed to him a key. Brown came home that night, or more properly, the next morning, a trille later than usual and showing plainly the character of entertainment, in which In; hud participated. He tried the key which his trusting wife had given to him, and, of course, It did not fit, for it was a trunk key. Brown swore a little, but nothing availed, and he had to push the button and- awake Mrs. Brown.

Brown says he never borrows a key now from his wife without examining it closely, and he is 'not so often at the club as ho was formerly. Half relating dozen men the other night, were their experiences with "touch" artists. "Let. me tell you of an experience I 'had only the other day," said one. "I ran across a fellow I formerly knew very well.

He said he was hard up, und ho looked it. He told mo ho was just recovering from the effects of a long illness, having been In a hospital off and ou for over a year.

SILHOUETTES. An Irishman who had recently come to the country was out for a walk a few weeks ago, when he ran across a store in which he saw several potted plants In the window. A long wooden box was on the sidewalk in front of the place and two men were arranging a casket Inside. On the broml window of the store was the name of the proprietor, and following it were the wonla "Undertaker and Funeral Director." To one side was a large pasteboard card bearing the legend: "Register here." "Do you want to register?" inquired a policeman, who stood near the door. The Irishman turned palo and hurried away ns he replied.

"Riglster, is it? And lave me wife and babies. Divil a bit." The chauffeur of one of the most distinguished residents of the Heights was sent to the Grand Central Station the other day, with Ihe electric hansom to bring home two of the women members of the family. They wore on their way back when the hansom got in a bit of a tunglo with other vehicu lar traffic on Fifth avenue and one brawny driver gut a notion that the man in charge of the hansom was to blame. The horseman was not at all choice in his remarks, hut abused the Brooklyn man in terras that made the latler's blood boil. The situation was tense, but tbo chauffeur had respect for his dainty charges and while anxious to make a few remarks kept his peace.

But the atmosphere was surcharged with pent up emotion. The women in the hansom could feel it. The chauffeur was at the bursting point when the trap in the roof was opened aud a gentle voice came from within. "Jamea, James," It said. "If you want to say anything say it.

Never mind us. We're not listening. But James kept his peace. The license to boil over put him in good humor, and he. generally, is a good-natured man.

The other night an old timer was nittlnc in a Republican club room down town when a prominent Republican politician came In. The old-timer smiled broadly aud extended his hand with the hearty salutation: Hello Jake, old nion; how are things." Turning to a few rounders, tho old timer said: "There is a clory about Jacob that has never seen tho light. It was this way," he continued. "We were boys together, living on the same street and Jacob was a very activo and inquisitive youngster, always looking for adventure. One day (we were about 10 years old at the time) he suggested that a little jauni to Flatbush would be worth the while, as on the way were several inviting apple or chards that could be explored with profit.

"We got down to the Bergen farm, and old had a good cluster of apple trees that would do very well for our purpose, particularly as it was known that some of the trees bore the sweetee and most luscious of fruit. The orchard was inclosed with a pretty hlnh fence, and a closo board affair at that, with the stringer on the Inside. "We walked around the inclostire till a spot that looked easy to scale was reached, and throwing our short clubs over we made haste to follow them. The branches of the treeshunelow with their burden of fruit. We cautiously made our way toward a tree that hung heavy with a sort red apple, our clubs were dangling at our sides.

The tree was almost at Iwnd when a voice of rather squeaky caliber piped out: "Hello there. Jacob; where are you going?" It was ihe voice of Uncle Tunis Bergen. "Jacob wa? ahead. He dropped his stick and his head at the same time, and turning right-about face replied: "I am going bac In a nearby country church, a few weeks ago, a leading parishioner, a genial gentleman and unmarried, went, to the recently settled young pastor. Just out of college, and complimented him on tho sermon of the morning.

"Very good sermon. Mr. Priestly. But It may be one cut of the barrel. I shall have to give You a topic to preach from.

That will be a good test of your ability in sermon making," smiled the approving parishioner. "I shall he glml to a :c.onimodato you, I am sure, Mr." Livealune," replied the youthful pastor. The next Sunday Mr. Mvealone was again profuse with cuniiilinK-nts on the morning sermon, and on the side gave to Mr. Priestly Luke xl: for a text to build a sermon on.

"I will preach from that text next Sunday," promised the pastor. But the next nnil on. thu following Sundays Mr. Priestly, who was getting ready to be married, did not occupy his own pulpit.
