Mr. Flanagan, tho author of 'Tarnellism and Crime," who got tho Times very extensive but high-priced high-priced advertising, is not succeeding very well socially in London.

Tho young man feels keonly the slight put upon him and it is snid ho contemplates going to America, from which country he has had two tempting oilers one to enter a museum and the other to deliver a course of lectures. Ho is not Haltered by tho proposition from the museum manager, and he can not very well lecture as he has never made a publio address. I Lis father who is nn Irish judge and a staunch tory, is not pleased with the notoriety which tho young man obtaiued in the journalistic field, and has refused him permission to visit the family. Jude Flanagan is in no way held responsible for the conduct of his son, nnd lie himself him-self wants it understood that he has not directly or indirectly approved of his son's work in the Times. |
