The Sovereign of Tahiti in New York, Reminiscences of Editor Kinsella—Two Terrible Crimes—Gotham Gossip, a Special Telegraphic Letter to the Post-Dispatch. NEw York, February 16.—The funeral of Tom Kinsella on Wednesday was more largely at- tended than any previous funeral in Brooklyn tn many years. The late editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, though he haa long ceased to be the power in politics he once was, had many friends and bota few enemies, He had profound political convictions and was a Democrat of the oid, man- ly, straightforward school. Though not without local influence he found bimself opposed to the views and aims of the leaders of his party almost as often as he coincided with them. An instance of this opposition was his indorsment and advocacy of Seth Low, the Re- publican candidate for the mayeralty, who was elected in the strengly Democratic city o1 Buooklyn two years ago and reelected last Ne- ber. Kinsella was in no sense a political leuder, but bis contrel and editorship of the Eagle gave bim a eertain social and political prominence. His uniform good nature, ready wit and rare talent for impromptu speeches, caused him to be much in demand. The paper on which he. rose from a case in hs comes room to the chair of editor-in-chief is to Brook- lyn whattne Post-DisPatca is to St. Louis. here are votber papers in Brooklyn,’ and Bot bad papers either. The syndicate which bought the Union Argus a year ago and put John Foord, then of the New York Times, tn charge, paid $200,000 for the property, amd there is reason © believe that the investment is a profitapie one. But the le is the representative paper of the people. It has a circulation of about 60,000.18 a three cent paper, and absorbs the lion’s share of advertising patronage. Wm. C. Kings- ley, president of the East iver Bridge trustees, and a really influential Democrat, owus a major- ity of the stock, but Kinselia’s share netted him a comlertabie income of abeut $30,000 a year. His last years were clouded by domes- tic troubles, which were brought to my mind by the ecclesiastical inconsistency of the tlaborate Reman Catholic ceremonial ou the occasion of his funeral Some ten years ago he accused bis wife, the mother of three children, with anfaithfulness, with how much or how little reason has never been known and probably never will be known. What is certain, boWever, is that his wife was & Woman Of al ex- tremely sepsitive nature, and that shortly after wards she became violently lusane and was con- fined ina lunatic asylum. The -tongue ef Wcan- dai, ever busy, whispered that her malady was a direct result of her pusbaod’s terrible accusa- tion. The oagium Kinsella accrued on this account Was increased when within a year he obtained 4 divorce from his insane wife and was married to a young woman of good ~ me! and superior education. lt was hinted that ‘Tom’ bad tired 1 Lis poeeeny of those who shared his advers- is course Was looked upen much 4s is Sen- Nd. 197. ane aa oe .

Under these circumstances it is little wouder that she chafed at ihe restraints of her useless sovereignty and pined to see some- thing of the world beyond the pretty life of her island home. She really lovea her and hes dope much for their education and improve- ment. The laziness of the islander who found it pleasant to lie under a tree while the bread-fruit ripened in the sun and dropped into bis mouth, is proverbial. Ali inpts lo stir such people up to _ agricultural activity ed hope less. But, thanks to salmon- colored queen, the hideous practice of tattooing has been almost entirely abolished, there are good schools iv every pari of the | and there are few of her 13,000 whilom subjects who cannot at least read and write.

Her affection was opp ne and the patriotic Frenchman achieved 4 oo c up by seconding ber aspirations to see t oat side world and throw offthe yokeof her shad owy sovereignty, They were privately married, as ihe Queen feared the rage this violationof the prejudices aud traditions of her race would bring dowu upon her.

Alter attending to some business connected with the aunexation of Taht- ti, they will travel over the coutineut of Europe, visit the British Isies, and fiually settle down to enjoy life in Paris—that paradise to which all g Americans go when they die.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. CINCINNATI, February 16.—Yesterday and to- day the weather has been delightiully clear and the wide, wide waters on both sides of the river have been alive with excursionists. One of the most notable fresh water voyages to-day was made by Madame Christine Nilsson. In the steamer’s gig of one of the New Orleans line of boats she set out from the landing on Vine street, a step or two more than 200 feet from her rooms in the Burnett House. Two oarsmen anda cox- swain manned the gig. The trip extendea to Suspension Bridge, in- eluding a walk across it and back, then on the waters to Pearl and Ludlow, where the men were rescuing bodies from the building that fell and killed eleven people yester- day. Itthen wound up with a ecruiseto Mill Creek, two miles further west, and to Brighton Station. two miles more up Mill Creek. Here was a ten-mile ride on the stormy water. A BENEFIT PERFORMANCE. The entire Abbey company wil! give a bene- fitconcert at Music Hall to-morrow afternoon for the sufferers. Now the work of relief has fairly begun. Over six thousand house- less people slept in school-houses and other public buildings in Cincinnati last night, and the number is likely to increase. More than twice as many are housed in flooded homes. The division of labor in ais- pensing eharity bas been most perfect and most efficient. The care of the lodging houses has been assigned to one branch of the Charities and the Assoctated Charities have taken charge of the distribution of food. Not less than 1,200 men are employed inthe business of relief alone in Cin- innati. The Associated Charities have more than ne hu&#ed yawis afloat. They have FOURTEEN SUPPLY DEPOTS. In addition tothis great general charity the Relief Union is at work, and all the secret societies are taking care of their own needy. ANOTHER FRIGHTFUL DISASTER was narrowly avoided Ly the removal of the fami- lies from whatis Known as the Longworth bar- racks, on Central avenue, above Second street, a four-story brick tenement house. The last family was removed yesterday afternoon. Before that there were ominous breakings beard about the Duilding. During the last night the old structure fell with arnmbling crash that was heard at a great distance, A coal boat was moored in front of the building that fell andthe mass of brick knocked off one end and partially filled it. The scantiings falling out thrust the end of the boat against Hali’s Safe and Lock Company’s building, thus blocking the street. No further search for the victims of the Pearl ‘and Lualow street disaster has been made to-day and will not be until the waters fall, OVER IN NEWPORT, Ky., where, since the first stroke of the disaster fell, the people have ween Knit into a helpful brotherhood. every energy is aow being concen- trated on restoring the wrecked and floating buildings, the FALLING RAPIDLY.

An item that appeared in the PostT-DIsPATCH afew days ago headed “McGrew’s Matinee,’ has called the attention of a number of people to the necessity of establishing some sort of charita- ble employment bureau, where worthy peopise may obtain honest work. Among those who have called at the Mayor’s Office on this matter is Mrs. J. D. Lawnin. president of the Woman’s Ex- change, who instructed Sergeant McGrew this morning to send to tbat institution all worthy women applyingto him for employment. The Sergeant nas a number of such applications every week, and the Woman’s Exchange will no doubt add to its laurels by finding einployment for gooa women who are compelled to seek the city’s aid, has The Longnecker Case. Detective O’ Neil went to Springfield, I1., last night to attend the arguments in the case of W. D.

Only One Bungling Job, Caused by & Jug of Whisky—A Frost-Bitten Thief Who Preferred Not to Wait for a Trial—In- cidents. The man whois keeping tally for the Niobrara lynching party reports to the New York Sun that since they started out to break up the gangs of eattle thieves that in- fest the country fourteen have been lynched, sixty warned to leave on pain of ceath, and one shot, The season, now peg, | its n avery successful one. Such a round-up of thieves and murderers was. never Known before, The Regulators have not lost a man, and they have not been em- barrassed by the breaking of arope. They have gone about their business so - quietly that very few know who they are or where they came from. Their movements have been expeditious and secret. Their arrests, trials, convictions and executions have been performed with such celerity that im most cases their presence ina neighborhood has not been known until an inspection of the trees give unmistakable evidence that they had come and gone. Moving and acting uickly, they have carried terror to the earts of evil doers in this whole section, embracing a territory Jarger than most of the States. Hundreds of thieves and out- laws have, by jumping the country, escaped well-merited punishment, but others, more eareless or entirely ignorant of the fact that the lynchers were on their trail, have fallen easy victims, The men who make up the party are familiar with every foot of ground from the Eikhora, Loup, and Nibrara ranges tv those of the Pewder River country, and during the past winter they have gone over all of this territory once, and and a good deal oi it three and four times. Some of the men whom they wanted most were not found, and others to whom short shrift was given were desperadwes who had almost been for- gotten, or had been supposed to. be dead. The winter has been exceedingly favora- ble for operations of this character. There ha" Jeen few severe storms, and only two or .aree bitter cold spells. During the latter the men suffered considerably, but fortun- ately escaped with nothing more serious than a few frost-bitten noses, cheeks and fin gers. They bad beeh overin the vicinity of the Bad Lands after a notorivus character named Jim Petiey, known to his comrades in crime as Long Jim, but had been unable to run him down. When about ready to give up the search and retrace their steps they were caugiit in a bi'zzard of the most savage description. Locomotion became out of the question, and picketing their horses they awaited a cessation of ihe storm. The tem- pest of Show continued until far into the night, when the clouds broke and the atmos. phere became bitterly coid. The horses suf- tered terribly, and the mea were not much, better off. it was useless to stay where they were, travel now being preferable to inac- tivuu, acd it was decidgd to make for the nearest ranch without delay. Toiling wearily and palufully on their way, they encounterea at daybreak the man ior whom they had been looking. He was accompanied by two gdesperate-iovking fellows who were, how- ever, unknown tothe reguiators, but who were, together with Jim, placed under ar- rest. ‘The thieves were in a pitiful plight from the coh. Long Jim was suffering from frosted feet and hands, and as the day wore on his agony became ancndurable. “What are you fellers going todo with me?’’ he finally demanded. ' “We are going to take you to the pen and try you for your crimes,” said one of his captors. ‘The pen is a place near here where the regulatdrs have had their rendezvous, and where they have tried many of their prison- ers, hanging and shooting some and banish- 1 ing others. , “And if you find me guilty, what then?” + “Weil, we'll probably hang you.”’ **] thought so,” exclaimed Jim, doggedly. “Now, I'm in a bad condition, and it’s a ~ hurting me te keep up with you fellows. I’m not going any further. You can finish the job now.” He had evidently considered the matter weil. He knew what to expect, Witha savage look of despair he bounded oif as fast as his seriously crippled limbs would carry him. He had not got more than 100 feet away .before half adozen rifle balls overtook him. ile jumped high in the air and feli flat on his face, never moving after- ward. His ragged clothing made a black spot in the snow which could be seen a mile away,it being tie only object not covered by the sifiing flakes of the night before. The lynchers then pushed on towaid the towns. Another party of the regulators, éperating far up the Niobrara Valley, came upon a well Known cagt'e thief named Berber, whom they found in quiet possession of a ranche with 1,000 or 1,200 head of cattie. He invited the men to his home, where eyerything ap- peared in as good form as if he were one of the most upright and thrifty of the herders of the plains. The reguiators ate of his store, warmed themseives by hig fire, smoked his tobacco, drank his liquor, and when ready to depart told him they wanted Wim. His men were not in the house atthe time, and the regulators had the drop on him. Before his employes returned he and his captors were faraway. Whether he was taken to the pen or not is not known, He has not been heard from since,and itis not likely that he evér will be. His cattle will return to their original owners in the spring. A man who arrived here yesterday from the up-country says there is a panic among the hard characters from the one end of the rapge tothe other. Many have gone into the hills, and others have gone south to the line of the Union Pacific. Speaking of the men against whom this crusade has been made, be said: ‘Some of these fellows, per- haps most of them, deserve hanging, but 1 - have known a few who were at least pretty decent. Two years ago Iwas up in this country with an engineering party. One day acowboy caine to our camp. He had been in some trouble down the country. From what we afterward learned the trouble was that he had killed a Sheriff. He was nearly starved, and'almost dead from lack of sleep. We fed him and saw that be was not interrupted while he siept for nearly twenty- four hours, and rested his pony. After that the cowboys, who were at first very hostile to us, changed their attitude toward us. Nothing was too good for us. lf we needed beef, they killed an animal from the herd and brought us the hind quarters, If any informa- tion was needed, or levters from the Post Office, they would ride a day to accommo- date us. One night there were two of them in our camp, @ fellow named Stewartand a colored man whom they called Amos. For seyeral nights attempts had been made to steal our span of -mules. That night the tliieves goteff with them, filing the chains with which we had locked the mules to the wagon. The man who owned tie mules was nearly crazy in the morning when he found - them gone. Stewart and Amos said it would only be a waste of time for eg | of us to go. They would go outand they thought they could get the stock. The mule owner said he would give $100 for the recovery of his ’ team. He wanted to go with them, but they said they would go alone, or not atall, and they started. The second day they came back with the mules, but they refused the $100 reward. refused also to tell how Se caee ri : coum to know all about the matter. Four or five days later we heard that two men ae to be Th ace x thieves gta her stories, of — amnons: eee strange men are told by men bere, w simost duly reminded reports from the vigi'antes of some episode in their own ca- age AES regulators, the jecialty at Zl per m, and there was great. the only bungli b they have yet done. They caught Wore tried him formally for horse and cattle ne and sentenced -him to death; but before the decree was car- ried into effect a member of the party, who had been absent on leave, returned witha ug of whisky, of which all partook freely. y 9 o'clock the entire crowd, the prisoner included, had reached a merry mood, an songs and stories served to while the time away. The Kid himself, unmindful of the fate which hung over him, took a hand in the reminiscences,and no one told his exper- iences with greater zest than he. ‘Down on the Loup three years ”* said he, “me and Ed Welter got into a little diffi- culty with a couple of fellers and laid them out. There wasn’t nothing said about tne atfair until——’’ “Now, gentlemen, it’s gettinglate,” said one of the regulators, who had been asleep, and on waking had shown signs of anxiety, ine Ee ve got alittle business to do to- here was a loud demand for the re- mainder of the Kid’s rag d and an equally vociferous shout that his time was up. While the point was being discussed ina boisterous manner, the Sheriff of the County appeared and took Wade in charge. The reguiators were beside themselves with rage and c in, but in the presence of the Sheriff they made no resistance. After his departure with his prisoner they finished the whisky and prepared for anes retribu- tion. Finding out that the Sheriff intended to start for the East in the mornin solvedto act promptly, and, piace where he was quartered, they took his prisoner from him at the muzzle of a dozen rifles, and, walking down the railroad track a few rods, hung him froma tall whistling post. It is believed that the work which the reguiaters set out to do has been completed, and that they will soon disband and return to their homes. One or two parties are still out, but they are expected te -return ina week or two. A Chicago Girl’s Cork Soles, From the Texas Siftings.

THE monopoly clause has been left out from the propositions of the St. Louis and Laclede companies.

A handsome and dashing young man, Who is one of the pieces of furniture in the office, im- mediately stepped to the instrument. every conversation at a telephone is one sided at each end, but this one was somewhat peculiarly so, for at the close of each carefully framed ques- tion, which admitted of monosyliabiec answers, there was one or twoor threeraps as the ques- tion happened to learned afterwards that this was an ingenious way of carrying on a conversation with a pretty flame who was employed in the central telephone office.

It seéfhs that the girls who manage the wires have been accustomed to carry on pleasant and extended eonversations with gentlemen friends, and would sometimes be- come so engrossed in the amusement that a man would have to strain his windpipe reaching after high C to a.tract their attention. The practice became so common thatarule has been made that no one in the central office shall speak over the wires. Hence the profound silence after “Hello, Central,” the lovers’ signals and the econ- tinuation of vocal gymnastics on the part of sub- scribers. It is really surprising how the old valentine customs survive over all others which have been relegated to the age of superstition, Not only were the Post Office people burdened with mis- sives of love or ridieule, but in the res- idence portions of the city troops of children, on YValentine’s night, were run- ning about in fantastic garbs and masks, making a3 mueh noise as possible. ringing the door-belis and otherwise disturbing ihe peace and quiet of every one else.

THE WEEK ABROAD. ARATHER remarkable instance of .a woman assuming male attire and passing as 4 man was recently discovered. in Belfast, The person, who was known as John Coulter, died from injuries accidentally received, and it was atthe inquest that the discovery was made. The woman, While working as a man, was martied toe the daughter of the farmer by whom she was employed, and lived with her ostensibly as husband and wife for twenty-two years, when a separation took place, owing to the drinkiag habits of the so-called hus- band. The wife testified at the inquest, and al- ways spoke of the deceased as her busband. As far as could be learned the wonian had all her life passed as a man, and for tweive years imme- diately preeedipg her death had worked as 4 laborer at the Beifast quay. STATISTICS that have just appeared, show 4 steady decrease {n the number of persona emi- grating from Germany. The total number of Ger- man emigrants last year amounted to 166,199 pere sons, while the number for 1882 was 193,687, and for 1881 Was 210,544. By farthe greatest portion of them are from Prussia. ; THE Evangelical Alliance has concluded its ne- gotiations with reference to the place of holding the next General Conference of Evangelical Christians of all nations. It has been decided to hold it at Stockholm from August 30th to Septem- ber 7th of the present year. The attendance is expected to be enormous, as promises of large delegations from all the nations have been re- ceived, The last Conference in 1879,. which was heid at Bale, Switzerland, was attended by over 7,000 persons, and as the attendance at the next one is expected to be much larger, extensive preparations are making for the entertainment of the delegates. This isthe first Conference of tha Kind held in any ofthe Seandinavian countries, and great interest has been awakened init among the people. A splendid programme will be pre- sented for the consideration of the Alliance. THE excavations which are now in progress in the House of the Vestal Virgins at Rome promise interesting developments. A number of statues and insériptions have been brought to light. It is mentioned as acurious circumstance that the name of one of tne vestals, who was high priestess in the year 364 A. D., has been cut out of the in- scription in her honor. This Was acommon way of expressing condemnation of a public’ charac. ter, and much speeulation has arisen as to the particular offense of this vesta!l. It has been sug- gested that the offense consisted in her conver- sion to Cirristianity, which at that time was ex- tremely unpopular with the people. THE Paris correspondent of the London World gives an interesting deseription of the conversa- tional peculiarities of several) French litterateurs. Alexander Dumas does not show to advantage in a salon on account of his not frequenting them much in his earlier years. “He has a tendency to stand in corners witharms folded and nursing his chin between the thumb and index finger of his right hand, while he relates some anecdote of bimself or of his father, in a rough, hoarse voice and with a certain brusqueness of language.” Augier is a nervous and incisive talker; “joyous at times, and gifted with a communicative laugh.” Renan is “urbane, unctuous, priestiv and uuafliirmatiye.” Alphonse Daudet retains his Bohemiauism, Sardouisa great talker; a single word will start himon a lecture. Edmond de Goneourt talks “well and elegantly and with great originality of language.” Barbey d’Aure- villyisa fine story-teller and wit. About isa “capital talker,” while Zola isa boor and never appears in a salon. INSPIRED by the strike of the Paris cabmen, the London cabmen, under the auspices of the Amalgamated Cabdrivers’, Society, have appoint- ed a series Of meetings forthe purpose of agitat- ing the question of cab legislation. At the first meeting a deputation from the Paris strikers were present and a resolution was unanimously adopted to the effect that the London whips would support their colleagues in Paris and pledged themselves to do allin their power to assist them ip the present difficulty and alsoin any difficulty that may arise in future.

New YORK, February 16.--The WORLD says: “Mr. Holman, we obseryg, wags again engaged yesterday in pushing turoughthe House an ap- propriation for the relief of the flood sufferers in the Ohiovaliey.

There are apparently no interests hestile to the passage ot the bill, and none to oppose it in Congress, and this wise and judicious measure should become a law.” TAR SUN. The Sun says: “The most interesting question in polities just now is the development of the New York delegation to the Chicago convention.

Women are burpish- ers of gold and silver, watehmakers, in fact do all the finer part of watches. They are electroplaters and bronzers, painters of china and tiles; work in hollywood, manufacture mirror frames, table- tops and sconces; are taxidermists, engravers, painters and sculptors. The finest Swiss watches made are manufactared by women; the largest champagne maker in the world is.a woman; the famous Erara piano is manufactured by a woman; tye delicate thread-weaving of the eld world is women’s work, as also the wonderiul lace making and embroidery, valued higher than the most recious stones; these are all woman’s work. he largest foundry in the gity of Troy is run to: manufacture herse shoes, one of which is turned out every three seconds, The machine which does this’ work was invented by a woman; the best stoves that were ever mace were designed by women.

Some four or five different corporations are Dow before the Municipal Assembly, seeking a fran- chise for the right of way for street railroads to forest Park, and as corporations have not only a0 souls, but no honor or regard for the rights of the people, and as Lindell avenue and Pine street are nice streets to run railroad tracks on—good direct routes—of course there is a scrambie on the part of the companies for those streets, But, shali the two streets referred to, the only direct driving routes to the creat park, be given over to anv railroad company? I should sigh for St. Louis’ public spirit, taste and enserprise if such a criminal blunder would occur, Lindell avenue, ai least, Must be preserved free from strech Car tracks.

The Forest Park Road, St. Louis, February 15, 1884. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It is to be hoped that proper routes willbe se- lected by our City Fathers to accommodate all persons interested in street railroad facilities in the direction of Forest Park. Theré is beautiful residence property for five atreets south of Wash- ington avenue on the way west of Vundeventer avenue to the park, and that would be practically cut off from street car travel by the proposed ex- tension of Olive street on Vandeventer and Pine. Much of this section is oniy awaiting street cars for arapid improvement, The extension of the Olive street line to Boyle avenue, thence to Mary- land avenue and thence to Foresi Park would be a more sepsibie, beneficial, serviceable and prac- tical routé, which would accommodate part of this district and cause hundreds of residences to be built the preseni year north of Laclede avenue, leaving tbe proposed cable and other lines sou: h of Pine street to inerease the residence facilities of ali that seciion south of Lindell avenue. There is no question bul that everybody would be bene- fited by the proposed beouievards on both Pine and Lindell avenue, They woyld become the pride of every inbabitant, rieh and poor, and in- e; sethe rapid devetopment of this whole sec- tion ct the erection of thousands of fine reyi- denees that would add wondertully to the attrac- tions and beauty of the great future cify of the Mississippi Valley.

Among this class,a lemon peddier has made himself especially obnoxious and exceedingly too numerous for the peace of the household.

Additional Donations To-Day to the Boulevard Fund. ——_——— Citizens Unanimously Indorse the Boom —Two Rather Interesting Letters— Street Commissioner Turner Gives His Views. " ———E_ The prediction made by Mr. Moses Rumsey yesterday that within a few days the Post- DISPATCH would receive ietters from those inter- ested in the establishment of a boulevard on Lin- dell avenue offering large subscriptions to a fund for the preparatory work is being verified as two such letters were received this morning. They aro as follows; ST. Louis, February 15, 1883. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ie ie Having read the genervus offer of Mr. humsey in the Post-DISPATCH, and also of Mr. McManus, in the Giobe-Democrat, we would be pleased to add our mite toward making the boulevard a suc- cess. LPiease set us down for $500. Respectfully, VARNEY CARRIAGE Oo., 2117 Mergau street. ST. Louis February 15, 1884, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. : oticing the boom in your paper as regards bicetes boulevards cf Pine street and Lindell ay- enue, will state that I am heartily in favor of the movement, and will subscribe $250 to be used on Pine street aua $100 on Lindell avenue, fer the purpose ef making botua these streets boulevards provided street railroad tracks are not allow on said streets. Let the good work go on. Yours resp’y, ¥F. A. BAUMGABRDNER. These letters give emphasis to the statement that a fund of $40,000 or $50,000 can be raised to begin work upen the boulevard, and suggests the idea that some organization should be made and a committee appoinied to push the work of B0lic- iting subscriplious. A PosT-DISPATCH reporter called upon Mr. E. 8. Warner, the real estate agent, this morning and had a conversation with him on this subject. He said: “I talked with 4 number of property-holders iast night about this matter, and there Was a unpanimous desire on their part to have the scheme pushed to a com- letion. They all expressed themselves as will- ng to contribute and agreed that it would be proper for some one to call a meeting at which - ways and means could discussed, I think that I shall issue a cail for a meeting of property holders to be hela some evening next week at the Mercantile Club, and when the meeting is bad there will be a commil- tee appoinied fur the purpose of soliciting sub- scriptions. I find that everybody is inte ested in the boulevard idea, and Ido pot think there will be any troubie at all in getting up a fund to grade the street.’ Mr. Warner is interested altogether in Lindellavenue. Two of the gentlemen who have offered muney so far are iaterested in Pine street as well as Lindell avenue, and it is the de- sire of a greal Mauy others to have Pine street sameareed into a boulevard as well as Lingeli ave- nue. The avenue oilers the best fleld for a boule- vard, as it is oue-iourta wider than Pine peee. Sea, be hoped that will be ng bairs split oyer the street to be used, but rather ihat both streets will be prepared tor driveways, as St. Louis cau stand two boulevards very nice- ly. The Missouri Railway Company will no doubt meet with a great deal more opposition to their extension on either of these § streets than they anticipated, the Brst evidence Of tke Opposi- tion being tue action of the Couneil last night in yostponing consideration of the Measure until ebruary 29. By that time there willbe a great deal done towards drawing out expressions of opinion as to the necessity of Keeping both the streets free from street railiroad tracks. | STREET COMMISSIONER TURNER moruing iW the city would put any obstruction in the way of those who desired to make Lindell avenue a boulevard. He said he didn’t know what the assessment of property on that street would be. “According to the charter,” said he, “the proposed improvements Cannot be made if the cost of them exceeds one-fourth of the as- sessed value of tlie property; tuat is to say that if the property is assessed al, say $20 a foot front, and the proposed improvements shouid Cost more than $5 a foot frout, they Caunot be made, as the city would be bound to pay the excess, poe ae city fs in no condition to do it. Now I de#ot know what the assessment of property o ndell uvyenne is, nor do 1 kuow what the peo boul- evard wif evst, sob am a ee ee wheth- er the city could permit it or bot, Zhe cost of the Chicago boulevards ran up to §16 per foot frout, Lut of course Chicago bad a great many expenses that would not come in on Lin- dell avenue, ~ Still, ou Lindell avenue water pipes would have to be laid and other expenses in- curred. Besides, Lindell avenue is 100 feet wide,” “Wuat would be the cost of grading Lindell ave- nue?”’ ‘J have not made a careful estimate and am not prepared to say. Pine streev’s grading cost $18,000, but Pine is a smailer street thun the oth- er | "In case the property-holders were all willing to pay for a cosily boulevard, could they do so even if the price ran a great deal over one-fourth of the assessed value?” “I do not know that the property-hold- ers on Lindell avenue are ail wilhng to pay for a boulevard. The eastern end of the street is owned Dy people who would be willing to pay, but 1 don’t Know about those in the western end. But if the properiy-holders are willing to pay all the cost of a boulevard they can club to- gether, get a permit from the Board of Public Im- rovements and goon and build the boulevard. he thing has been done before, and can be done again.” EE See the announcement regarding music boxes, that will appear Monday morning, of the Mérmod & Jaccard Jewelry Co..

Alex. alias Albert Smith was arraigned this morning in the First District Police Court ona charee of indecent conduct in the vicinity of the Clinton school. Smith is a restaurant waiter, put has been out of employment for a long time, and has been in‘ the habit of visiting the neighbor- hood of Grattan and Hickory streets for this pur- pose. On last Thursday Smith was arrested after a hot chase by Officers O’Connor, Donahue and Campion. When the complaint was read to the defendant to-day he pleaded gujlty, urging that he was drunk. ; ) “Is that all you have to say in answer to such a grave charge?” asked Judge Cady. “Thdt’s all,” answered the defendant’s attor- ney. “7 defendant $250,” said the Judge, i silat ene marchea back to the dock to await the arrival of the Black Maria, which took him to the Work House for a six_ months’ ar Several citizens who live in the vicinlty of the Clinton school were in court fn attendance on the trial. A MODEL POKER TABLE. A New Device W hich Supplies “Top” Hands at the Shortest Notice. “Do you want to see a ‘skin’ device that lays the ‘hog box’ in the shade?” asked a Sixth street sport of a Post-DisPATOH reporter. “There is no robbing scheme I know of that will compare with it.” A few minutes later the device, which bas been built fora gambler, was examined. It is a round,-poker table, supported by four solid walnut legs. Until explained, the most expert joiner would never discover the dishonest feat- ures about it. The top is covered witha circular piece of green baize. Around this isa walnut rim about two inches wide. Apparently the cloth is glued close to the wood-work, but in reality it is not. A short metallic lever is at- tached under the table, projecting below about oue-half an inch. This is operated by the player’s knee. When he announces himself ‘not in” or is closed out on a raise with a couple of aces in his hand, he moves the lever with his Knee, and a small, narrow pair of pincers appear between the rim of the baize and the wooden facing and just back of his hand. The aces are slipped into the clinch and the knee pressure removed. The aces noiselessly disappear down the narrow crack and the three remaining cards are heaped into the discard pile. If an ace is drawnin the next hand, two cards are quietly withdrawn by the pivcers, which promptly reappear. slipping the two aces into the player’s hand without the slightest move- ment being made on the board. “This little lever can easily be removed,” said the gampler, ‘and when it is, I defy any cabinet maker in town to discover the fraud without chopping the table to pieces,” Montgomery City, Mo.

Millie Gatewood ended a bad life about 10 o’clock last night with her shoes on, suck as ghey were,and with a copious outpouring of blood from a ragged wound on the left side of her head. Her husband, after aispatching her, left her lying on the floor of the filthy littie den which they occu- pied and lay down om the old foul-smuililing lounge, a few feet away from her, to sleep off the effects of a heavy load of beer. The woman was drunk when she died, as she had been a thousand times before. The tragedy occurred in the smaller of the pair of rooms fronting tne alley in the rear of 1315 North Sixth street. Tne larger room is occupied by Festus Ames, a little, dried-up old colored woman, garrulous asa guinea ben, who, accord- ing to a tin sign which decorates her front door, is a “midwife and doc- tress.” Aunty Ames feels the importance of the occasion, and never tires of telling the story of the murder. It would be impossible to give her dialect without doing her ge injustice, and her recital is, therefore, given in substance only. “Ike Gatewood,” she said, “is a carpenter, sand [ hear he’s a pretty good one, when he can get work.

Well, they got to fighting right away, and they feught every night. Miliie used to get drank nearly every day, but I never Knew bow sne paid for it. She tried todo better the last week, out somehow she had to drink. Inever saw her husband drunk till last night. He came home that way and they _ to calling names and row- ing right off. She had been drinking, too. Just to map: them quiet, I got them some supper, and then she took his shoes off and put him to bed on the lounge. They she said she would patch his pants that were (Orn, and she went and borrewed some pieces from a neighbor. She came back and sewed the paten on, and he’s wearin them now.

They kept scufflin around, and jawing, and pretty soon I heard a heavy blow, and heard her fall tothe floor. She screamed for alittle while and then ber voice got weak, anu pretty soen all was still. That was about9ur 10 o’clockK and there was no more noise In there that night. This morning, before it was very light, I got np and went through their room into the back vara, found the back door locked and i went over and shook Gatewood and asked him (for the key. He waked up and got it out of his pock- et, aud then I saw that his wife was not lying by him, and the ironing board was net there. I asked him what he did with his wife, and he said she was on the floer, he guessed. i looked for her, and founa her iying, face downward, with her chest and tace resting on the’seat of this old chair without a back, and her legs stretched out on the floor. The top of her bead was tight against the wall and her legs were out toward the middle of the room. I could see from the way she was lying that she was dead. and besides there was a big lot of biood on the floor ali around ber aad a great hole on the side of her bead. [ told him he bad &illed her and he must go and reportit. He said he would go and get her sister-in-law to come and wash the body and dress it, and then would give himseif up vo the police. 1 told him he’d better, and then I went to market, When I came back the’police had got here and arrested him, They put the body on the lounge, and you can see the awful way she bled on the bedclothes after they put her there. He saia that she -fell down and burt her- self. The officers hunted everywhere te tind what he had used to hit her with, but couldn’t find anything with bleod on it. They took him to the stutiom®, and they took her body to the morgue. Just as they were moving it her sister- in-law, who looked like a very nice lady, and lives on Webster street, came here. She said that, even though Millie was bad, it was just aw- ful that she bad to die that way, aud couidn’t die a@ natural death.” The old woman’s story is very complete history of the repulsive place than the little TEN-BY-TWELVE ROOM, with its table, crippled old cook stove, reeking lounge, broken chairs and Qilapidated eupboard, it would be difficult to vonceive of. The officer who made the arrest was informed of the killing by a small boy who probably learned of it from Jane Smith, a colored woman who siept with the midwife last night. On going to the nouse the officer asked Mrs. Smith whe was in the bedroom, and she, fearing to tell what she knew, said that nobody was there. He went into the room and found the body lying on the lounge, where Gatewood had piaced it. Gatewood had gone out, probably to get a drink, and the officer arrested him a few moments later. As the case looked mysterious, and as Mrs, Smith had shown a disposition to evade giving information, = alsO Was arrested and taken to the station ouse, She said to @ Post-DisPatcH reporter that from earlyin the night she bad heard Mr. and Mrs. Gatewood quarreling and ruaning in and out ofthe house.

MeDONALD AND MORRISON, An Effort to ‘ dential Ticket. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Presidential boom. The apathy in regard to party leaders. There are indications that this will pretty soon disappear and that candidates will be plentiful. McDonald and Watterson and Carlisle and Morrison are eloseted together often, and no time or effort will be lost from this time oa to push Morrison’s nomination. A very prom- inent and active Western politician said to your correspondent, yesterday, that he ‘believed the ‘Democratic ticket next year would be McDonald and Morrison. “That’s a curlous ticket, is it not; Doth men from Western States? De you propose to give up New York, New Jersey and the entire Kast?” “Yes,” was the calm reply. “I believe that wiil pe the plan. If Carlisle’s election as Speaker meant anything, it meant that the tariff issue was 10 be ominant in thecemimg campaign, and that if we elect a President it must be on that tissue. None of Carlisie’s strength came from the East. It was all from the West and South. He had two votes from the East, and only two. This shows that the West and South are united on the the question of 4 tariff reduction against the East and North. Our best hepe tor carrying the next Presidential campaign is by making the tariff_issue prominent, andto dv this we must concentrate our efforts on the West and South and let the Republicans have the East and North. For this purpose, then, no combination will be stronger than McDonald and Merrisopn. McDon- ald is very streng inthe Seuth,ana the leaders there will befor him,and heis strong in the West. Morrison is a tower of strength, and has a bullet hole through his lung. e would be popular with the soldiers. We want to make a ticket with which we can carry Indiana, Iilinvis, Michigan and Wisconsin, and with that sort of a ticket we can afford to let the Republicans have New York and Northeast generally. McDonald and Morrison are the two men whocan do that aad they are the only two men who cana be relied on to doit. Of course Lilinois has been counted a Repubiican State, but with McDonald on the se ticket wecould sweep the State on em.’ . “Suppose that Gen. Logan should be the Repub- lican nominee, you would not expect tocarry it then?’’ “Yes. Ido not think that Logan is very strong in linois, Lam betting meney that our ticket will be McDonald and Morrison.” Herbert's. Herbert’s Cafe, on Eighth street, between Pine and Chestnut streets, has met with a success from the start, which has steadily increased, and the resort, by all means the most sumptuously furnished and appointed ever opened in the city, enjoys the patronage of the pest classes. The saloon, which is a prominent feature, excels in size and appointments any other in the city,and it is stocked with that completeness with the finest liquids, which always characterized Col.Herbert’s management. The private dining-rooms are very handseme, and in keeping with the menu. Dur- Ing the past week severa! presentations have oc- curred in the parlors, ana dinner parties of Dusi- ness men are becoming quite frequent, The cafe fills a long felt want. Herbert Spencer’s Latest. From the Ninteenth Century for January. The cruelty of a Fijian god, who, represented as devouring the souls of the dead, may be sup- posed to inflict torture during the process, is small compared with the cruelty of a god who condemns mn to tortures which are eternal; and the ascript- ton of this cruelty,though habitual in ecclesiastical formulas, occasionally occurring in sermons, and still sometimes pictorially illustrated, is becoming so intolerable to the better natured that, while some theologians distinctly deny it, others quietly drop it out of their teackings. Olearly this change can not cease until the beliefs in hell and damna- tion disappear. Disappearance of them will be ald ed by am increasing repugnance jo injustice. The visiting on Adam’s descendants through hundreds of generations dreadful penalties for a smal transgression which they did net commit; the damning of all men who do not avail themselves of an alleged mode of obtaining forgiveness which most men have never heard of, eand the effecting of a reconciliation by sacrificingason who was perfectly innocent, to satisfy the assumed neces- sity for a propitiatory victim, are modes of action which, ascribed to a human ruler, would call forth expressions of abhorrence; agd the aserip- tion of them to the ultimate cause of things, even now felt to be full of difficulties, must become impossibie. 80, too, must die out the belief that a power present in innumerable worlds throngh- out infinite space, and who, during amillions of years of the earth’searlier existence needed no honoring by its inhabitants, should be seized with a craving for praise, and, having created man- kind, should be angry with them if they do not perpetually tell him how great he is.

The Case of Labor Commissioner Newnan Called in the Crim- a ¥ inal Court. And Transferred to Judge Noonan’s Reom on Motion of Circuit Attorney Harvey—Legislator Hugh J. Brady on Trial—Criminal Notes. In the Criminal Court this morning, the ca~. of Henry A. Newman, Gommissioner of Labor -Sta- tistics, Was called en the law docket. The charge against him was attempting to sell his office of Notary Public toB. F. Hammet. It incitudes two counts, one of which came within the jurisdiction of the Criminal Court, and was well fa to-da ‘by Circuit Attorney vey, who filed the nag ag statement; The State of Missouri vs. Henry A. Newman. May it please the court: The first count of the indiotment in this cause is drawn under section 1,479, Evol. 1., rev. statutes, and charges an al- tempt of an officer to gell his office. Bhe punish- ment prescribed by said section for the offense of selling office is “imprisopment in the penitentiary not exceeding five years or by imprisonment in the county jail net exceeding one Year, or by fine not exceeding $1.000,or by both such fine and im- prisonment.” Section 1,645, 1n reference to the punishment for attempt to commit offenses, de- clares in the fifth ciause that “‘if the offense so at- tempted be punishabie either by imprisonment in the penitentiary or in a county jail, or Dy & fine, or by both a fine and imprisonment in &@ county jail, the person convicted of such attempt may be punished by imprtson- meuvt in 2 county jail, not exceeding nine months or by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or by both such imprisonment and fine,’’ tion 1,678 defines a misaemeanor thus: “The term misdemeapor asusedin this or any other statute shall be construed as including every of- fense, punishable only by fine or imprisonment in acounty jail, or both.” Therefore, since the offense of selling office is punishable elther by imprisoninent in the peaitentiary or by fine — imprisonmentin jail. The attempt to commit sucifuffense is punishable only by fine and imprisonment in jail. Itis evident that the crime alleged in the first count of the indictment is only a misdemeanor and this court has no juris- diction over it. The second count of this indiet- ment -is drawn 1,471, which alleges that ever offi cer who shali, directly or indirectly. accept or receive of another any sum of money or other valuable consideration, gratuity or reward or any promise or security thereof first upon apy agree- ment to give or procure by his act, interest or in- fluence or other means, any appointment, office er piace of truster any preierment or emoiument, or te aid or assist in procuring the same for an- other person shall be adjudged guilty of, etc.” Clearly, the } vin who commits this offense must be an officer, andit is necessary that it should be so alleged in the indictment. Said sec- ond count simply charges the defendant indivia- ually and does not once allege that he was an offi- cer. Therefore, said count not charging aby crime whateverit becomes my duty to enter a nolle proas. thereof, which, with leave of court, I de hereby do. iaesire to take this action at this time be- cause— 1. The indictment should be certified to the court having jurisdiction of the misdemeanor— the only effense charged. 2. As a matter of fact there is a9 charge against the defendant in this court,aiid It is but simple justice to him that it be Kknewn. 3 A number of witnesses for the de- fendant would be subpe@naed and brought here from different poimts in this aud other States, the expenses of whom, in event of a failure of the prosecutien, would bave to De paid by the State, and it is certainly, in my opinion, proper that the expenses and troubie of “he gpg for the trialofacbharge that, in fact, as no legal existence, shoulda be avoided. I further ask that the indictment be certified to the Court of Criminal Correction, accompanied with a copy of the oraer entering a nolie pros as to the second cout.” The case was certified over to Judge Neonan’s court, a8 suggested by the Circuit Attorney. BRADY’S CASE. The case of Representative Hugh J. Brady, charged with recviving a bribe for having Patrol Wagon Driver Gunn appointed, was next called, A motion to quash was filed by Judge Jones on the grounds inat the judictment was tound withb- out examining witnesses, and that the testimony takevy before the Hitchcock Grand Jurv, where Brady appeared as a witress, was read to the Richeson Grand Jury. Assistant Circuit At-. torney Suliivan was called to testify to these facts, but claimed the privilege of refusal, and Judge Van Wagoller took the question under ad- visement. under section CRIMINAL NOTES. Sentence was imposed to-day by Judge Van Wagoner in the case of Laura Williams, whose punishment for infanticide was assessed at two years in the penitentiary. ° To-day the following warrants were returned into tne Criminal Court for docketing: W. H. Thompsen, charged with abandoning his wife Agues; Charlies Koebel, charged with the murder of Alvin Berger; Wm. Rowe, charged with a deadly assault on Louis Wiliners; Wm. English, charged with rovbery in the first degree; Joseph Stahie,charged with fraud; Jonn Molliter,charged with selling liquor without license; Wm. Ward, charged with grand larceay; Dan Talboi,charged with assault and battery. Warrants for grand tarceny were sworn out to- day against Wm. H. Waipers, Thomas Wiseman, Sam nia and Samuel Lowenstein. These are some of the men who were arrested in connec- tion with the transfer wagon robberies, THE HARPER LICENSE LAW. A Test Case Is Decided in the Supreme Court—It 1s Constitutional. CHICAGO, February 16.—The Supreme Court of Illinois has affirmea the judgment of the lower court in the case of Timm vs. Harrison, Mayor of Chicago, thereby asserting the constitutionality ot the Harper High License Law. This was a suit brought by Timm on behalf of the State Liquor Dealers’ Association of Illinois against the Mayor of Chicago, to compel him to issue to com- plainant a $103 saloun license, under a city ordi- nance passed prior tothe time the Harper law went into effect, July 1, 1883. The Mayor refused to Issue it on the ground that the Harper laws re- quired the pavenent of $500 for a license to seli spirituous liquors within the State. Timm?’s bill urged the unconstitutionality of the Harper law, and, the matier being carried to the Supreme Court, the latter decides against the liquor men and pronounces the act constitutional STRIKING COAL MINERS. They Will Not Suffer a Half Cent Reduc- tien of Their Wages. PITTSBURG, February 16.—A general strike of the railroad coal miners against a reduction of one-half cent, is looked tor shortly. The ruling rate is three and one-half cents, but in a number of instances operators have refused to pay more than three cents, and claim that they are &tnable to run the pits at a profit and pay the former rati A balf cent reduction was ordered at iceneeate yesierday, and President Costetlo of the miners’ association left for there this morning to endeavor to settle the trouble. The producers offer to sign a yearly contract to pay three cents, but the men refuse to entertain the proposition, and a strike seems inevitable. At Shanner’s Station none of the pits are in operation to-day. bona Ls i the spr pant are out again. sta miners also refuse to return to work at less than the arbitration award. BEST IN AMERICA.

Who wants to be beautiful? Ah! if the answer were given yoice what ehorus of “Is” would be heard. From . Pe Greenland’s icy mountains to Indias coral strand, would the fema.e element come out strong. Even the womanly woman would not hesitate to add her vote Lo this cause, for itis, and of a right ought to be, one of woman’s first and great “rights,” that to be beautiful. Itisasubject werthy more in- telligent study than is generally given it; notthat we don’t think enough about our looks. Some of us think of little else, but we don’t think intelligently. In the first place, what does being beautiful mean? A woman possessed of ever so lovely a faee, if accompanied by an ugly, gawky form and'manners, is not called beautiful, any more thanis one with a perfect form and captivating manners whose countenance is disfigured by a rough, “nimply” surface. An ill-fitting dress, devoid of taste or beauty, will detract wonderfuily from one's appearance, even if one be possessed of a face and form of beauty. | : It is the tout ensemble that makes or mars the beauty. an Many a gir! who is positively ugly iffeach feature were considered separately 1s, pos- sessed of so pieasing a general appearance that no one thinks of calling her ugly. In fact, she easily passes for, and is, a pretty girl. I maintain that every woman MAY BE BEAUTIFUL if she goes about it properly; if not a beauty strictly, she may still be on the whole a beautiful object. Now we will classify this subject as follows, and then consider each point separately: Form and carriage, dress face. To begin wit: carriage, not one woman in ten knows how to walk, we either mince along with a wiggle and twist, as if trying to balance ourse!ves on eggs, or We strut with our chins in the air and think we are digni- fied. Nothing gives one such an unpropor- tioned look as an elevated chin, unless it be “stoop shoulders,” which show age quicker thau anything else. To walk gracefu!ly and well, hold yourself erect, with shoulders well back, but do not stick out yourelbows atright angles; keep them near the body, hold yourchin low, and carry tue head well back on the shoulders; step with a long, gliding Sotion, and do not _bend the kuee;: the most graceful attitude for the arms is to allow them to hang at the side. Don’t turn and twist your head, as if it were on a piyot; make one or two simple rules as to your carriage, and hold yourself strictiy to them. If gymnasiums were attached to our schools and our girls taught that their daily exercise was of as much, if not more, im- rtance as their book learning, there wouid * nosuch thingas undeveloped forms. As it is, if you will exercise yourself for three hours aday with the broom and take a brisk walk of several miles you will note an improvementin form. Fortunately, up. to the age when one doesn’t care about looks any more, that beauty-spoiling habit, stoop- shoulders, may be ina greater or less de- gree corrected. Standup against the wall with shoulders and head touching; then try to carry yourself in that position, and when sitting down jet the whole back rest against the chair, not just the tip end of the shoul- der-biade. ‘lo develop the chest sing the scales with the breath held and lungs deeply inflated. Oi course that ABOMINATION, the corset, must be first removed. Our girls are doomed to twisted spines, and all the pains and aches of tine ladydom,that they may acquire acorrect accent in French and get just such a degree of feeling in their ‘‘touch” on the piano; when, if that time had been spent in learning to sweep, bake,and an occasional romp, they would develop inte magnificent womanhood, andthe whole human race be A good physique will ‘out-last a dozen cultured brains educated on ovr present high pressure system. Now, we come to what every woman pre- tends to understand—dress. With the average woman the question is not what shall I wear, but what is fashion wearing? You do not adapt your dress to your individual requirements; you forget that there are quite as many styles as wearers of adress. You, a stately brunette, will see a little bionde in a lovely costume and go /iome and pian one just like it, and then wonder why people don’t admire tt on you as they do on Miss Blonde. Let me give you a few hints for the tem- ring of unbeautiful parts. If your figure snot good, avoid piain tight waists, and, unless too stout, have the body of vour dress broken by as many seams, vests and ruffles as possibie, A woman’s headgear plays an allimportant part. If she be posseessd of very prominent features, nose, mouth and chin, she should never wear anything low over the eyes; her hair should be worn high’ and a in age net yg close to the head uniess the forehead be very promin What can be uglier than a yey — BIG RED KAR rotroding from the head? yet women with arge ears generally manage to display the te the best possibie advanteze—to the az. They insist upon drawing the hair away from that organ, as if they were afraid -they would miss a hair’s breadth of what was tohe heard. If you are blessed with a generous allowance of ear wear the hair loose about it, either curled or a short carved lock just above, which, when brushed back, will partly cover the objee- ionable organ. Aciose, piain dressing of the neck will add to the size of the features. If the face be short, the higher and more off the face the hair be arranged the better. Of course, a woman with a large nose, or a . very retreating forehead, never will wear a small, close bonnet. Hers will be high, and rather protruding in front, but the little- featured woman cannot stand this at all. x OUR FACES. The most beautiful face a woman can pos- sess is one in which tne quiet, womanly geni- tleneS# shines out. Bat in these days of “sphere” secking our faces show the fret and wearing out anxiety of the struggle, and the fret and struggle will both continue un- til woman learns that her own Heaven-born ee is to be a “home-keeper.” f-we cannot change an objectionable feat- ure we canso frame it in a charming ecom- piexion that the looker-on forgets the erook- ed nose or aeaon pet mouth in the fresh, Well-kept skin. In this one point we can often improv? on Mother Nature. Girls, you have ruined your complexious with POWDER, and Lam coinx to heip you get them back again.

Omitthe dose @ few days, then repeat, and in seven or eight weeks you will be astonished at the result.

Puton your veils tll April, and re- member that powders of all kinds are delu- sions and snares.

May be used as wash through the day. With your camphor and glycerine, always add benzine. Could Mrs. MeLane have seen the gladness which shone out of some forty little pair of eyes on last Saturday afterndon she would have known that her kind little “treat was fully appreciated. ‘The ‘‘treat’ consisted of twenty pounds of fine French candies, and the forty pair of eyes belonged to as many lit- tle girls, members of the sewing school held in one of the parlors of the Y. M. C. A. Building. The special feature of the occa- sion was the presentation by the chiidren of their first quilt to the Police Matron. Mrs, Peterson responded in a very happy little talk. ‘The following well-known ladies take an active interest in this down town work under the supervision of Mrs. Sue Owens: Mesdames iitenberger and Sehmear; Misses Sallie Crane, Mary Bennett, Annie — Livingston, Virginia Frazeg and Wiggans. We have at last found aeolor that is both durable and becoming, and we show our good sense by sticking toit. It comesin a dozen shades, with fully as many names. Brown has “raged” for sometime, and for spring toilets will be more popular than ever. The new shades are mushroom, Ha- vana, mascot and almond. ‘These are com- bined with great artistic effect with lemon, or manile brown, which is really a pale yel- low. A Washington correspondent describes a dress worn by Mrs. Craig Wadsworth ata late reception; the train—and a train how means the entire robe, with the exception of the tablier and sleeve—was of pomegranaie embossed velved, wit beaded eorsage and tablier of iemon-colored satin veiled in poiut lace; the coiffure was dressed in ostrich tips the shade of train. All dresses, both for spring and summer wear, séem ordeied especially for slender forms. The new apron overskirts have three straight breadths in them, or, if gored at all, only slightly on the back of the side breadth. These aprons are gathered twice across the top, aud if slimness be desired, it is sewed on the skirt an inch or two be- low the belt. The lower edge of all aprons is turned under and sewed to the dress, forming a puff. When worn over a knitted skirt this design is _ beautiful. All draping is «yery high on the _ hips. The straight back drapery will consist of three widths of goods, gathered very full, and falling to foot of dress. The panier will be worn with this back. A novel and pretty design of golden brown wool has the cutaway jacket with close-fit- ting back, meeting at throat, then falling away to disclose a full vest front, which is continued below intothe full apron over- skirt. This vest{ must be attached to a lin- ing, andthe “‘tablier”’ draping all done at the left side. The novelty in cotton goods for summer wear is in the weaving of the fabric. They come in reps, twiils and Oriental desigzis. They come inagreat variety of tints and shades, often mingled witha strong cop- trasting color. Just think of a Dubaux ros& cream, or pale turquoise, blue ground, strewn with red, or dull blue, in Persian designs. These cotton goods come in exceedingly light weight. After all they are not very uniike tie last season’s goods, All trimming Of the waists of these dress- es is confined to the vest. The sleeve is en- tirely plain. Always use a foundation for the shirrings in the full vests, unless you are willing to regather after they are laundried. When linings are used, they will be cut low and square. A novel garniture for dresses is the band, Wrought in many colored designs, which have the effect of applique work. ‘Those Which promise to suit the popular fancy are Wrought in dragons, lizards and birds. Neck ruches come in colors as well as white, the must popular form being the bex pleat lace; embroidered cambric and colored surah are used. A pretty effect is produced by running a becoming shade of enenille fore pleating. A pretty garniture for a black dress worn in the evening is a buneb of pink and pale green tips worn at the belt, or as corsage bouquet; alsoin the coiffure at the leit of the high coils. _ Now that the low cut neck is fully estab- lished, the new fancy for necklaces of roses and other natural flowers wiil be eagerly slezed upon by women with bones to hide, When a certain Mistress Mary Gardner of ye long ago, in the seventeen hundreds, had made a pair of solid gold buckles to Clasp the velvet bands which encircled her shapely of progress would transform them into the beautiful scarf-pin which is now in the ner, the fourth, who is the daughter of C. 8 Smith, esq.

David Lowry in the Chicago Current. Among all my acquaintance none seemed happier than Eugene F—~. I named him Fortune’s Favorite. -He hada beautiful and highly accomplished wife; his children were the prettiest and best mannered I have ever met. Allthe women considered Mrs. F—— as near perfection as mortals can achieve; all the men voted Eugene F — as clever a man as one could desire to claim fellowship with, Hewas rich in associations, in the integrity ofa name that commanded the re- spect of four generations. How few aspir- ing Americans can say as much? He pos- sessed the advantages a liberal education gives; his place was assured as well as it is possible to assure anything in a country where the wheel of fortune obliterates the accumulations and reputations of genera- tions and lifts men and women out of ob- scurity inaday. That is to say, the com- pany that employed him was the oldest, most reliable and the richest organization of its kind in the @ great change was hv on his manner. A”~ month had worked wonders. “Just think of ft,”” he said to me, when he e hands*\im his cheery, hearty way ; ‘“‘1 thought those'600 acres were worth ‘about $5 an acre. At the of a week I was offered $16,000; in another week it jumped up to $1 and finally [ let it go 4 $400 ,000, haif cash, balance in three months.” . — ‘ twas simply a epennd i mao- mene ng as abundance of and his friends ression when he emonstraie the sions, He under- “ores of =F ; .

In a year—less time—his old friends scarce- ly knew Eugene F . He was energetic, confident, positive and decisive; a very fair specimen of a thorough-going American bus- iness man. His ventures proved profitable, in the main, and then, all at once, accident filled his pockets one night while he slept. He was the possessor of half a million. He was inthe middle of tbe current, a promi- nent craft in the stream that ailured thous- ands, floated a fraction into safe harbor and stranded a great majority. ra [ seldom met Eugene now. We were in different channels. Chance brought us face to face one day in front of the Era office. How are you. Ned? Had dinner? Come ina ,me. f want company. No refusal “Make it to-night, at home, and I’ll be on hand,” “I wish I could; but the truth is, I am so seldom at home now—I don’t. know when 3 ‘ve spent a night, or rather ah evening at me. And this was my bookish friend who, a ‘year ago, could not be induced to leave his Snug library, or cosy gg room, where his wife and children were his chief compan- ons. Half an hour’s conversation proved to me that my friend—the man I had respected and loved—was as dead as the Pharaohs. In his place [founda man who seemeda buadie of nerves. He had lost the repose of my old friend, and withit his grace. While it was impossible for Eugene F—— to become either coarse or bradoue his positive manner and tones, his decision, gave him an angu- larity that was less to be admired than his former ease and urbanity. “Now you have made your pile, Eugene, I suppose you wiil be off to Europe some of these days. Possibly we may lose you alto- gether.”’ He looked at me with an undisguised as- tonishment. “What makes you say that?” Ee say you are worth nearly a mill on. “See here—this is in confidence. Ned— they sav a great deal that isn’t true. But in this instance they are notfar wrong. But why should I quit on a million? Have some more mushrooms. This is the only place I can get a decent steak in town.”’ “T’ve seen the time you would have been contented with a quarter of a million.”’ “Yes; inthe long ago, Do you know I was a foolin those days? Nature never in- tended a man should be content. He ought to be just as eager to make his 10th—yes, his 100th million for that matter—as his first. For my part—but mind you don’t let your hive know it; I don’t care to get them after me—l’ve no intention of quitting until I’ve made five millions.” “You have only another step to take and you will establish your-claim to all the privileges enjoyed by thearistocrats.”” He laughed. ‘No, [am too sensible for that,’ he re- lied; “‘although, for that matter, you know always held nature had made its divisions. There will be hewers of wood aud drawers of water aslong as grass grows or water runs.’ “‘] meant there is danger that one day you will look with contempt on a man with less than ten thousand a year.’’ “Don’t blame me, my boy,” he replied, in a patronizing manner Il immediately resent- ed, “if l’ye set my peg for five millions.” **l’ve seen the time you were as{well off, en- joyed the world, literature, art, the society of your friends, and, above all, the compan- ionship of your wife and children, and ail on less than three thousand a year, for I hap- pento know you gave liberally and lent freely.” ‘“‘[ can only repeat—five million is my fig- ure- And I’ve only made the first notch on that stick.”’ “How if you fall? You never know when the see-saw will bump you on the ground.”’ The next day Eugene F lost 100,000. A week later he was not worth 10 There came out of a contest, such as was never wit- nessed before nor since between oil operat- ors, mere wrecks of men, mentally and mor- aily, physically and financially, chief among whom was Eugene . The tarantula’s bite had poisoned his life’s blood. “ He was no longer the brisk, peat, scrupulously dressed, quiet mannered gentleman. He was un- shaven half thetime. His eyes were shift- ing, never steady, and partly discolored. Unrest and the fever of speculation left their traces—stamped—I should say branded him as an unsuccessful man. ; I once heard a man (and he belonged to my own guild, more’s the pity), say that all labor was degrading. Hecited our great manu- facturing centers—pointed to the homes of the workers whose products are very pillars of the earth,so far as its commereial,moneyed and many of its social institutions are con- cerned, and proved to his own satisfaction that the tendency of all labour was to brutal- ize, to harden; to destroy the sensibilities, He made the too common mistake of con- founding effects with causes. I wonder what this student would say if somebody should, cite to him to him the case of Eugene F——. lt might puzzle him to define the precise value of the patent of the nobility he derived through two years’ intercourse with the men who govern the worid’s marts and represent the ramified interests of trade. Eugene was rushing—he never walked as other men Walk now—past me one day, when I caught his arm. “Hello! Howd’y,fold boy?” ‘““That’s precisely the question I have de- termined to ask you. Come in here and have a giass of wine.” AslI ledhim intoa little snuggery few frequented, he answered: “Permit me to nominate brandy or whisky for mine.” : Looking at him in the face as of old I said; “The battle has gone against you.” weit I haven’t a dollar to my name, ed.”’ I was amazed. Ithought there must be something ieft that he could turn into cash, and I could not help expressing my thought. “No, no! Nothing .of the sort. I couid have—in'fact 1 should have—managed dif- ferently and put aside something—a little bit in real estate, or afew bonds—but ] didn’t. “What next?” “What next?” he repeated dreamily and and drearily. “Oh! I’ve not made up my mind.” ; “Eugene,” I said briskly, “go back and ask for your old place. I believe it’s there for the asking. And in six months you will look back on your experience in oil as a bad dream.”’ “You are right, Ned. I always thought you a slow goer, but you are right nine times out of ten. IL’il act on your advice, and I thank you from the bottom of my soul for the interest you manifest in me.” He was as g as his word. But before the month was out he joined forces with an. other clerk and.made $150 on a turnin oil. He was bubbing up beside the dashing op- erators inside of a month. A month later there was a battle royal last- ing three days, in which the bulls and bears were so thoroughly mixed and blended that it was with extreme difficulty the best in- formed observers could determine the rela- tive positions of the horned and clawed com- titors. Immense sums were made and ost. On the mas Oy it was reported that Eugene F—— clea $40,000. On the third day it was rumored he had accumulated 000. At noon, in the presence of a throng of men whose frantic actions and fe- verish faces exhibited every phase of a gam- bler’s experience, Eugene announced himself ‘ahead of the game $300,000;”" at 2 o’clock he had not’enough money to pay for his odgi 8.

A Gentleman well-knownin Zanes- ville, Dresden and Cohocton, Writes from Pekin, Ill, Dr. J. H. SCHENCK: Dear Sir—-In the winter of 1872 I was told by three prominent doctors that my wife had Consumption, and that she could not live untilspring. Soon afte: a friend, who lives in Dayton, Ohio, recommended your medicines to her, but having been told that she was incurable, we had nofaithinthem. Her friend finally brought her a bottie of your Pulmonic Syrup, and insisted on her giving it a fairtrial. She did so, and, thank God, by its use her life was saved, She is now entirely well. Iam well-known here, as well as in Zanesville, Dresden and Cohocton, and would refer you to the druggists and others in these towns who will remem- ber my wife’s case as a very badone. I have recom- mended your medicines toa great many, ana have never known them to fail in making cures where they have been giver a fairtrial. I am induced to send you this by the thought that it will be of such great use to suffering humanity. A. W. WHITE, Proprietor White House, Pekin, Ill, November 21, 1874. Another Case of Consumption Cured at La Porte, Ind, DR. SCHENCK: About twelve years ago I was dangerously ill with Lung Fever. I had great troubie in breathing; every breath I drew caused me pain. I nad three doctors treating me, but I grew worse all the time, I was at that time connected with the Lake Shore R. R. Co. One of my fellow-clerks induced me to get some of your medicines, saying that he had used them himself with entire success, I sent for some of your Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonicand Mandrake Pills. 1 used them according to the directions, and in a short time noticea a marked improvement in my health, which kept up as I continued using your medicines. After taking several bottles each of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonicl gotentirely over my sickness. Since that time I have recommended your medicines to many other people livingin LaPorte, who used them with great success. F. W. NEBELTHAU, Fx-Trustee ef La Porte Co, La Porte, Ind., Jan. 31, 188. Consumption Cured.--Read this Letter from Mr. Ittick, of La Porte, Indiana. Dr. SCHENCK: {nu the year 1872 I was suffering with Consumption, and had gotten so low that I had no hope of ever get- ting wellagain. I whited for death to put an end to my sufferings. There was one of my friends who was persistently trying to have me use your Pulmenic Syrupiand Seaweed Tonic, but I utterly refused to get any more medicine. I was disgusted with medicine. I hag tried so many different medicines without be- ing helped by any. Finding that I was not to be per- suaded, he bought some of your Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic himself, and brought them tome. Iat first refused to touch them, I did not want to be ex- perimented on, but finally consented to use them merely to satisfy him, not that I expected they would do me any good. I commenced taking the Pulnonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, and to my great surprise felt almost immediate relief, and was encouraged to continue using them. My condition improved under ther use, until in time I grew perfectly well, mo trace of;the disease remaining. My lungs had healed up and grew stronger than ever. I was permanently cured, as I have had no trouble with my lungs since that time. I owe my life entirely to your medicines. Nothing else saved me. I will bear cheerful testimony to the great virtues possessed by your medicines. I know of several other cases here where your medicines have been used with entire success. I am well- known here, being one of the original German set- tlers in La Porte County, and having been in the livery business for many years, JOHN ITTICK, N.

From Mr. Harley P. Hopkins, of Providence, R. I. He is Cured of Consumption by Dr. Schenck’s Medicines, after being given upto die by some of the best physicians in the city. Dr. J. H. SCHENCK: Dear Sir—I have been cured of what three of the best physicians of this city tela me was Consumption of the Lungs, by the use of your medicines. [ was first attacked with the disease in October, 1880, and although I was from that time continually under the care of a physician, | grew worse and worse, until at last I wasconfinedtomy bed. I can hardly say that I was first attacked with tne disease in 1880, for my lungs had been weak for many years previous to this, and I would quite often have severe pain in my breast, if I took the leastcoldor exerted myself too much in any way. I grew worse, my cough be- came very bad; Ihad night sweats so severe that my bed, through the night, would be as wet as though water had been thrown over me. I was continually raising blood and large quantities of offensive matter from my lungs, and at last baa ali the well-known symptoms ot Consumption in its last stages. At the request of my family, my physician calied in two other doctors of this city, and they, after en ex- amination, agreed that my case was hopeless. They informed my wifé thatI had better be told that I could not live,as my time would be very short for ar ng my worldly affairs. They also said that no sor “oa would be of any use to me. The next day, my friend, Mr. H. J. Leith, hearing of my condition, sent me a bottle of your Patmente Syrup, thinking it might relieve my cough, and make my expectora- tion easier. I began using it, nevereven hoping that it would cure me, but fading great relief from its use. When the first bottle was gone Isent and got more; 80 1 continued it until IT had used seven or eight botties. All this I was iu bed and so wea that I had to be lifted. s aah ite ¥ ral Teen 2 Po n a}. > Saf wie ae a ye ae Se Aaah iain s iA the Mandrake Pills. It is needless for meto give youan account of all my feelings during my recovery. Of course it was slow, but it was also sure. I gradually gained strength, the character of what I raised from my lungs wa, able to get up and walk about my room. From this time my recovery was rapid. I gained flesh fast and soon went out doors, and now Iam entirely well, @ wonder to all my acquaintances whosaw me when I was 80 low. I weigh one hundred and sixty-two pounds,appetite good, and I ean truly say that Inever felt better in my life. I consider your medicines as wonderful in their effects. They have saved my life, ana I feel se tLankfuf to you thatIam anxious that all who are suffering with lung troubles should know how good they are. Of course, Iean give a better account of my case in telling of it than in writing,and if any whe read this are interested they are welcome tocall op me at my residence. Yours truly, HARLEY P. KOPKINS, No. 2 Howell st., Providence, B. I, May 19, 1881. ' Mr. HARLEY P. HOPKINS, who writes the forego ing letter to Dr. Schenck of/Philade!phia, is an old resident of Providence. JFhave known him well for the last fifteen years, and I can assure the public that all he has written in regard to his sickness and recovery is stric$ly true. He was considered a con- sumptive, in the last stages of the disease, by, his physician and friends, and I believe that his recovery is entirely due to the use of Dr. Schenck’s medicines H. I. LEITH, Druggist, No. 262 N. Main St., Providence, R. L May 19, 1881. Consumption Can be Cured, New York, November 8, 1881, Dr. SCHENCK: Dear Sir:—In looking over one of your books, in which I find so many letters recommending your medicines, I bave thought to myself how negligent I have been in not making my case public, that others might take warning. In visiting my friends in New Jersey a short time since, my attention was drawn to the many advertisements in large letters on different buildings and fences: “Dr. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.” As I look- ed at these, tears of gratitude fell from my eyes, and I thought what a blessing that buch a man as Dr, Schenck snould be sent among us. Twenty-seven years ago I contracted a heavy cold, which settled on my lungs. Itook many things that was recommended for cold, but nothing seemed to relieve me, I made gallons of syrups with many different kinds of herbs, stilll got no better. My husband would consult doctors. but they gave him no encouragement, only said I must die. I had then been afflicted over seven years. One of my sons came inone day and said to me, ‘‘Mother, I have heard of a Dr. Schenck that is minaking great cures in Consumption; will you see him?” Ihad given up all hope of recovery, but he insisted upon it. Consequently 1 was taken over to Dr. Schenck, then in Bond street. He examined my lungs and gave me encouragement. I took the Pui- monic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills about two months,ana felt as well as everladid. I have enjoyed good health ever since, andifany of my family take cold it is our only medicine. I am this day sixty-seven years of age, and can walk and at- tend to business as well as many at forty. If there are auy that wish to know the particulars of my case they are at liberty to call on me. Yours Truly, MRS. SARAH LAWSON, 334 West Fifteenth street, New York City, Hereditary Consumption Cured, DR. SCHENCK: Dear Sir—In the autumn of 1877 I had a se- vere cough, with terrible pain in my sides and be tween my shoulders. I had yery little‘appetite, and what little [ could eat only distressed me. I consulted physicians, who said my condition was a very bad one and gavo me five different cough syrups and tonics, from which 1 received no benefit, but seemed to grow worse and kept losing flesh and strength. I had night sweats, and sweat most of the time during t day. Icoughedand raised blood and séalt, foamy phiegm; my throat was filied with ulcers, I conia hardly swallow; sometimes I could not speak a loud word for weeks; my lungs grew more painful every day. with difficult. breathing. while pleurisy pains would almost stop my breath. I had colic pains, sour stomach and vomiting up everything I ate. My whole body was filled with pain. I could notlie down, but had to recline in a sitting posture to breathe. I gave up and did not think of ever getting un again, as it was hard moving myself; my feet ana ankles began to swell badly, ana my hips had given out long before. In this sinking condition, I thought I would try your remedy for Consumption; it might do me some zgod; it could do me no harm, tor 1 was certain I could not live a month longer the way I was. At that time, May, 1878, I procured your Palmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Pills, and took them as directed. In a week I was better and began to throw off fromthe lungs a greenish-yellow matter streaked with blood. I could eat a little without throwing it up, the pains in my sides were not so se- vere; Icould sleep an hour very soundly and that was what I had not done for three months. I took your medicineg steadily six months; my cough got better, I did not sweat so bad nights, kept gaining slowly, and in a year after I began your med- icines I could say I felt well. I began to gain flesh, and last September weighed one hundred and thirty- five pounds—fifteen pounds more than lever weighed before in my life. Your medicines, I know, saved my life; and I would say, from my own experience, to all Consump- tives, take Dr. Schenck’s medicines, for they will certainly cure you. I had Consumption, it is heredi- tary in dur family, my father andtwo brothers hav- ing died of it. I have had better health the past winter than for ten years previous. Yours respectfully, MRS. SARAH. A. CARTER. CARLISLE, MASS,, April 5, 1880. : Discharged from the Army in the Last Stages of Consumption, Cured by Dr. Schenck’s Medicines. Statement of Mr. Julius Boyden, of Previdence, BR.

Vanderbilt Not Satisfied With the Rock Island Management. He Has a High Sense of Personal Honor That Must be Maintained—The King Railroader in His Library. By Telegraph to the Post-Disvatch. New Yorx, February 16.—Mr. William H. Vana- Gerbilt sat on a lounge in his comfortable library early last evening, looking out of the window at the passing carriagesand crowds. He nad just returned to his house and the crisp air had left his face ruddy. A bright fire in the grate cast fan- tastic lights and shadows about the room. A great pile of letters lay on a tabie in the center of the room, to be opened after diuner. “Was itat your instance or by your concur- rence that Mr. Harvey Kennedy brought his action to compel the secretary of the Rock Islana Railroad to exhibit thetransfer books?” Mr. Van- derbilt was asked. “It was not,” replied Mr. Vanderbilt, “and I did not know of it until it was done. I have not seen Mr. Kennedy for some time, but I fully ap- prove of his course.” “Are you not satisfied with the present manage- ment, and do you not think that the road is oper- ated to produce what it is capable of?” “That is exactly what I shonid like to largest individual stockholder, aud I think i am entitied to know something about the affairs of the company. Some years ago an agreement by the Northwestern. the St. Paul, the Rock Island and the Union Pacific was made by which each road was to have two directorsin the Board of each of the otber roads. The tock Island bas a representation in the Northwestern, My holding ef Rock Island is 12,000 shares. There ought to be directors in the Rock Isiand to represent the Northwestern and mysell. Mr. Wm, L. Scout Was my representative in the Rock Isiand. HE WANTED TO GO OUT two years ago, but 1 urged him to stay. (While. 1 was in Europe a year ago he retired at the same time ingh Riddle did as President. I told David Dows that I wanted a repre sentation. Therepiy Was that Mr. A. G. Yulman would represent ine. He does not rep- i sent me atall. Now, Mr. Dulman 1 believe to 'peagentieman. 1 have nothing to say against | him personaily. I wanted to put in two such ' men as Albert Keep and M arvill Hughitt.

If Cabie and Porter were going to make the Northwestern road woribless, 1 would buy every suare before anything ef that sort suould occur.

I would like to know, and am going to find out, if it is the policy | of the management that a large stockholder shall not be able to see anything that is going on.” “Do the persons in control bol¢ sufficient stock to warrant them in maintaining the management of the rvuad?” “The order obtained by Kennedy was obtained to make the managers show how much stock they hoid. I have word from the hoiders of 60,000 shares of the stock. Ifthe books are not exhibited I think advertisements can be printed asking stockhoiders to send their proxies to per- sons selected.” ‘“‘What is vour belief in the management of the properties?” **] believe that the majority should rule, but if I OWN A MAJORITY I believe that persons in the minority have rights just the same. I am told the stock that the management of the Rock Island represents is small. know some of the principal men have only 1,000 shares. They probably think the stockboiders are going to let them vote that $8,000,000. Toney will not get my vote. My doctrine is to recognize every one’s rights, and to run the railroads that I coutrol in the interests of peopie who have put their money in them.” “What do you propose to do, personally, in the Rock Isiand matter, Mr. Vanderbiit?”’ “| do not Know thatl shall do anything.

ITALIAN OPEEA. The Metropolitan Directors Want Mapieson to Manage Their Honse. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, February 16.—The statement of the financial condition of the Metropolitan Opera House Company has given rise to various rumors regarding the prospects for the Italian opera next season, It was stated by one of the direct- ors, who is reluctaut to pay his assessment of $3.- 500 for the allegedj purpose of completing the house, that in his opinion it will be impossible to induce either Mr. Abbey or Mr. Gye of London to take the house for next season. Ithas been inti mated that as it is now asettled facet that Mr. Abbey will not take the house, Col Mapleson Will be offered such inducements by the directory and give him sufficient courage in the Metropolitaa next fail. management feel confident that with Col. Maple- son as impressario success will be assured, bot h to himself and the directors. Another rumor cur- rent was that the directors of the Metro, .itan, in view of the fact that they have a large house , costing upwards of two millions of dollars, on their hands, have determined to make the best of it by forcing their staunch competitor, the Acad- emy,to the wall,even at a great expense, A PostT-DIsPpATCH correspondent yesterday saw several of the directors of the Academy of Music for either confirmation or de- nial of these reports. Mr. August Belmont looking over some correspondence. In answer to the reporter's question as to whether there was any foundation for the gimors that Col. Ma pieson was about to desert the Academy he tersely replied: “I don’t Know anything about it. I baven’t heard anything on the subject, and don’t want io talk about it.” MR. R. L. CUTTING said he had heard such rumors, but as far as he koew there was pothing in them. “Col. Maple- son,” he said, *‘seemed to be perfectly satisfied before he weaut away, afd as his contract binds him to remain with the Academy for at least an- other year, while he has manifested no intention to break it, we cau but presume that he Will continue. The reporis re- garding the Academy are all stuff.” Mr. August L. Brown, a director and chairman of the executive committee, appeared to be at little more outspoken and free to discuss both sides of the question. *“Totell you the truth,” he vegan, “there isnot muchin it. Some of the Metropolitan directors seem to know more abou the affairs of the Academy than about those of ' their own house. There is one mau there who has a little too much to say, and I propose to tél him so before lone. The opera house is a huge white elephant on the hands of the society stock- holders, and they are fighting with alitheir might to make it remunerative. But that is next to useless. There is a house costing them nearly $2,000,000, on which, with the prevail- ing high prices for Ltalian opera, they have lost about $1,700 a night during the past season. Why the taxes on the property are equal to all the running expenses of tue Academy, while the in- terest on the mortgage is almost as much more. I aim not surprised at Abbey’s giving up the house. No mano can make it pay under the presen: man- agement. The stockholders have ali the lower rows of boxes, and when an out- sider wants to hear an opera Le must go up-stairs. The opera-goers of New York will not do that, and the result is the two-thirds full house to which Avbey’s compauvy has stug during the season. In the Academy it is differ- cnt. here an Outsider can buy or renta box for | a night or a season alongside those occupied by | the stockholders.

A Proposition From Kome — Students’ Sketch Club Meeting—New Pictures. A letter was received at the Mayor’s office this week from the Kev.” Francis Dent, O. 8. F., of Rome, which, put for its length, would be repro- duced here, as its coutents would . be very iater- esting to those concerned in art matters. The letter was accompanied by a “catalogue d'une collection de tableaux ancieus de diverses ecoles,” which catalogue is a book of eighty pages, containing the titles and names of the ar- tists of 402 pictures. The Reverend Father ex- plains in his tetter that the eoljection of paint- ings represented by the catalogue is oneof tbe finest to be found in Rome, “the athenzum of all that is beautiful in art.” He writes: “lt repre- sents, as you may perceive, the various schools of Europe,® ancient ‘as well as modern, and it gives, therefore, a correct idea of the different phases through which the ars of oainting has passed. Its ssession would prove a source of weaith to any American city. and heip to make it renowned 4s a center of intelligence and refinement. Crowds would come from afar to see it, and students would find therein a permanent school of art, as well as av impetus to develop genius. These con- siderations show clearly that it would give im- perishable giory to its founder. * * * It cost the labor of years to its founder, Don Marcello Massarenti, secretary of the Pope’s almoner.

As I said to one of our étock- holders abroad, we have had a regular Kilkenny fight in Italian opera the past season, by which both have suffered. Lam certainly not averse io saying that Col. Maplesou has lost money. but certainly not as much as $1,700 a night. I: is im- possibie for any manager to make money at either house, when compelled to pay prima donnas $5,000 a single night.

The people will not pay for such dear opera. The result is piainly perceptible.
