JEWELRY IMPORTERS IX TROUBLE. The Customs officials have made seizures of valu- abio goods, imported from the United States and entered under their value with the intention of defrauding the revenue, from some of the wealthiest and largest wholesale firms in Montreal. The first descent was made on E. and A, Eaves, where the seizures were effected to the amount of $6,000. Then the warehouse of Schwoff Bros., diamond and watch importers. William Maves and H. A. Saun- ders, wholesale jewelers, were next visited and large seizures made, the value at present unknown. The affair bas created a sensation in the jewelry trade. Other seizures are expected. It is rumored several large seizures have been made out of Montreal, but nothing definite can be learned. Only a few months since E. and A. Eaves had to pay $15,000, and Wm. Eaves $5,000 for entering goods for eighteen months previously under an exactly similar charge. TO WARD OFF THE PLAGUE.

Pans, August 2.—The French Yellow Book, pub- lished to-day, gives the following information in re- gard to the recent negotiations between France and China: “France at first demanded of China an in- demnity of 250,000,000 francs for the affair at Lang- Bon, but after China ordered her troops to withdraw from Tonquin, France only ordered that China should compensate the families of the soldiers killed at Langson, and pay the extra expenses which the Chinese attack made necessary for France to incur, and China objected to the indemnity, but on July 19 she consented to appoint the Viceroy of Nankin to enter into negotiations with M. Pate- notre, the Frénch minister. China then announced that she had submitted the indemnity question to the Powers, Between the 27th and 20th of July, M. Patenoctre telegraphed the home Government that it was impossdble to arrive at an understand with the delegates of China, who refused to pay the indemnity, and asked that the time granted China to accept the French ultimatum be extended. Minister Ferry thereupon telegraphed to M. Patenotre, July 30, to extend the respite if necessary. M.

Black Actors on a Strike for Their Salary. — n They Declare Stage Work as Laborious as Laying Bricks—Desdemona and Iago Demand Their Salary During a Performance. By Telegraph to the Post- Dispatoh. New Lon. August 2.—The Astor Place Company of Colored Tragedians have gone on a strike. These horny-handed sons of toil have refused to work any longer for the old pay. They say the tragedian business is as hard as brick-laying, and they unani- mously demand brick-layers' wages. The leading lady and the star want more money. The boss tra- gedian flatly declines to enter into negotiations look- ing to an increase of expenditures, and on his part threatens a lock-out if the strikers do not at once re- turn to their cues. Last Monday the Astor Place Company of Colored Tragedians made their first appearance before any public“ at the Cosmopolitan Theater. They were about the only persons that did make an There was not that wild and unanimous rush to secure front seats that the man- agement had confidently looked for. The “‘long- felt want,” which the A. P. Co. of C. T's was ex- to fill, continued a long-felt want. In vain r.J. A.

This scheme did not meet with the entire approval of Mr. Arneaux, and he demanded his share of the gate money. There was some unpleasantness in consequence, and the play Th y gvening. did not run as smoothly as the course of true love is said not to run.

After this everything was lovely and the play went on just as well without the orchestra and one or two of the actors. The audience kindly con- sented to fill the ition vacated by the tragedian, who had gone to collect $8 60, and during the next act it was difficult to say whether the footlights cast @baleful glare over the or audience, It was quite a social affair. T in the front orchestra chair shouted instructions to Othello, just as if he had been regularly introduced and had n him ali his life. A boy in the gal- lery insisted that his ma had sent him to request the immediate return of emona, as the dishes were not yet washed. Altogether the performance was TOO PLEASANTLY UNCONVENTIONAL, and feeling that they had done a fair day's work for their money the actors unanimously secured an adjournment sine die. There was no money in the treasury, Mr. Arneaux was furious, so was Mr. Wood, so was the com v. and the latter resolved upon a strike, while Mr. Wood prepared for a lock-out.

When our great crops begin to move in heavy volume and money comes into gen- eral circulation, the demand for woolen goods will develop. We now note mprovement in the dry goods markets of the East. Uptothis time manufactur- ers have bought only in a “hand-to-mouth” way. The old stocks are well worked off, and new ones will be wanted; ali the wool in the country will be wanted. There are large stocks back yet to find a market here, and we consider the time opportune for holders to ship them in and have them in readi- ness for an upturn in the market. Our commission merchants are possessed of ample funds and will make satisfactory cash advances, and as the carrying es are ataininimum, we think this suggestion is worthy of favorable consideration. The demand here for choice clear wool is good, all offerings of such are readily taken at full quota- tions. e worst effects of the panic have been dis- counted and the future more hopeful for wool.

Louis who made his will in 1876 put into ite provision that if any of his children should change his religion such child should forfeit his share in the pater- nal inheritance, Do the laws of Missouri rec- ognize any such power on the part of the testa- tor! It they do it might be just as well to proyide that ownership in property should cease with death, and that people who have to live in this world should not be subject to the control of people who are enjoying life in the world to come, Tu honors paid to the Greely survivors yes- terday recall the kind wish expressed by the English Geogra phical Bociety, that these brave fellows should receive every reward and honor that our institutions permit. Unfortunately our institutions, as a general rule, do not per- mit us to make any further recognition of he- roism than the flummery and taffy of a recep- tion. After thatthe heroes must make their living as best they ean. The experience of this country proves that there is ne profession in which it is as hard to make a living as being a hero. Tue rejection of the ship and canal bill by the British of Lords yes terday was a significant piece of business. The object of the bill, as indicated by its name, is to make Manchester a seaport by digging a ship canal to the estuary of the Mersey above Liver- pool. All Manchester favors the bill as heartily as Liverpool opposes it, and this rendered the action of the peers quite certain. Manchester is a low radical place, where the common people vote and send such members as Copper, BMO and CHAMBERLAIN to Parliament. When the hereditary nobility of Great Britain gets a chance to snub Manchester it is going te do it, especially as Manchester has just been express ing a very plain opinion of hereditary law — THERE ts every reason to believe that, while Marseilles and Toulon have hades light visita- tion of Asiatic cholera, they have also been suf- fering from indigwnous cholera, er ebolera u tras, os it is called. This is the opinion of a Dr. Onrmua, who has been giving the results of his observations in Le Temps. His report is that “there provails at Marseilles an epidemic of cholera nostras, or ine, due entirely to 1 4 Sy 4 . „ 7 the notorious unhealthiness of the city, which is maintained by the imprudence of the inhabi- tanta, At Toulon the care of the streets is neglected in the most culpable manner, In the old quarters fllth is thrown into the gutters just as freely as before the epidemic.” These words convey a warning to every large city that is @xposed to summer heat. — — And MONEY QUESTION. A page of Thursday's New York Nmes is de- voted to an inside history of the Union Pagific Railroad's dealings with the Government, A startling story it is of collusion and fraud upon the part of the Republican statesmen at Wash- ington, by whose consent and powerful con- nivance the United States Treasury and à mul- titude of unsuspecting investors are like to be 2 robbed af more than three times the original cost or present value of the road, This road now owes the Government $33,559, - 512 for subsidy bonds due in ten or twelve years, and interest thereon to the amount of $19,054,480, or nearly fifty-three millions in all, and this debt is increasing at the rate of §1,000,- 000 a year, The road was built with this money, and its builders had their immense land grant and the road itself as so much clear profit, But they went to Congress and, with the assist- ance of Mr. Lamm and other Republican lead- era, obtained legislation permitting them to is- sue and sell first mortgage bonds to the amount of $27,229,000, which were to take precedence of the Government's lien, and now it will have to pay those bonds in order to secure iteelf, if the road goes into bankruptcy. But the vil- lainy did not end here. Further collusion par- mitted the managers to use the earnings of the road for stock-jobbing purposes, and to pay inter- est on bonds illegally issued and on fraudulent issues of stock, until now the liabilities include $61,000,000 of stock and a bonded debt of $117,- 487,408 besides the Government loan, which brings the total indebtedenss up to $232,000,000, or about four times the cost of the line and ita equipments. Under existing competition the earnings can- not pay interest and dividends on the other lia- bilities, after leaving the Government loan out in the _ cold. To force the road to make provision for that, we are told, would throw it into bankruptcy, and then the Government would have to pay the $27,000,000 of first mortgage bonds and take the road at a cost of about $80,000,000, or lose the $52,000,000 already advanced, Such a foreclos ure would wipe out stock and bonds to the amount of about $152,000,000, and the private holders thereof might justly claim that the Government, through its Pacific Railroad di- rectors and other official abettors of the Pacific Railroad management, had made itself a party toa gigantic robbery of innocent investors. There is every reason to believe that the situ- ation with reference to the Central Pacific is no better, It is a situation to which we have been brought by the long continued partnership be- tween the Republican party and such business men as GouLtp, Duron and Huwyriveron, What shall be done, or what can be done, to protect the Government's claim and the inter- ests of investors from the further de- signs of these rapacious men, is now the question, They are supporting their old friend Mr. BLalxx with all their resources and appliances, in the expectation that his election will throw the whole weight and power of the administration against any legislative interfer- ence with the prosecution of their swindling plans, The question for the people is, whether the next President shall be one who is opposed by these men, or one who has favored all their measures before Congress and is now their can- didate, On the question whether the Govern- ment's claim against the Pacific roads for over $100,000,000 shall be secured or the collection indefinitely postponed, Mr, BLarvs in the Senate spoke and voted for GouLp and Huwtineton and against Eomunps and TuvRMay, Tue following appreciative notices of the Posr-Disrarou in this week's Spectator are all the more acceptable as coming from a paper which, while it has a reputation for doing nice things in a nice way, has also thé reputation of saying just what it thinks: Two bite of newspaper work done by the Posr- Duron lately can't be allowed to pass without special mention. One was the absolutely complete exposure of the alleged cholera case on the Annie P. ul ver. After the Post-Dispaton article appeared there was not left a vestige of ground for rumors to stand on. The reporter who worked and wrote the ease up deserves a medal. The other bit of work was editorial, demanding the thorough cleaning up of the city as a prevention of disease and defense against possible cholera scare. It was very effective in producing action on the part of the authorities. Newspaper work that pro- duces both is common enough, but which brings out immediate and tangible results is quite rare. Within two weeks the Post-Disratcn has done the city more real dollars and cents service than any other paper can recently show. Arran Senator Ram had voted with rann and Donsey as one of the twenty recorded against the Thurman bill when it re- ceived forty votes in the Senate, the Hon. Gro, F.

It is declared that the practice of one woman saluting another with a kiss whenever | really she meets her after an absence is becoming too common, and that the osculatory welcome should be limited to ladies who arevery dear friends, and to gentlemen when euthorised. Many ladies who do not like to seem rude are ‘compelled to kins other ladies af their acquaintance when they meet them because it seems to be expected, and to Sn Not Monopolists.

We make a do lar and a half and two dollars some days, I'm down on monopoly, I am." The Cleveland Scandal, From the Springfield (Man.) Republican. 0 When a man is chosen for the ministry, purity of personal conduct is the first point on which strength is required, When a man is sought for high politi- cal station, to stand like a firm mountain around which shall play harmless the lightning of ambition and greed, the first qualities sought are firmness in dealing with men, courage and discerning integrity. It was this distinction which justified the speer of gydney Smith at Perceval, the virtuous but stupid Prime Minister of Great Britain early in the cent- ury, whom he pictures walking to Hampstead Church in front of hia dozen children with their faces washed and their hair pleasingly combed" and who was shocked at the idea of assembling Parlia- ment on Monday, lest members should have to travel on Sunday. Ob, says Smith, that he had flogged his children—and saved the country Alexander Hamilton, the man to whom as much as to any other we owe our pres ent form of Government, and who first established the credit of the United States, paid bitter tributé to the same distinction when he published to the world an amour in which he had been entrapped, rather than rest under the suspicion of having traded in claims against the United States while secretary of the treasury. When by the carelessness or treach- ery of Monroe, his politica) opponent, the true nature of the affair, which Hamilton had confided to him, was misrepresented to the public, Hamilton published his defense against a more heinous charge" at the expense of his marital fidelity, say- ing of his wife: I can never cease to condemn my. self for the pang which it may inflict on a bosom eminently entitled to all my gratitude, fidelity and loye; but that bosom will approve that, even at 80 great an expense, I should effectually wipe away a more serious stain froma name which it cherishes with no less elevation than tenderness." . . . . * 0 0 The ability to serve the public is a quality more open and public than the course of a man's private life. Webster and Clay and Jaekson and numbers of men have become the idols of thousands, to whom their private life was necessarily an unknown story, We accept it, therefore, asa truth that the chastity or unchastity of public men of national re- pute and nominated for office before the people of the whole ‘country, is nota proper subject for dis- cussion. The rule may pe different in regard toa petty neighborhood canvass, where those who pass upon a man's qualifications for loeal office know something also of his private life, but 50,000,000 peo- ple can notattain intimacy with all the social life and family affairs of their-candidates for president, and it is not profitable that they should, * * * * * . 9 When a man has had the political support of the community where he lives and is personally knows. the Republican has uniformly deelined to entertain scandal of his private and domestic life. We have known for many years a story whieh would prove very harrowing to the Blaine family, but which would have no proper bearing on Mr. Biaine's fitness for the Presidency of the United States, and which has never been alluded to in these columns, Whether it is true or not we have never sought to discover, and never shall. Gen. Garfield's opponents in 1880 acted with entire propriety in abstaining from mak ing this side of his character an issue. We have within a few months suppressed al] mention of an affair connecting the name of an eminent functionary of the republic | with that of a married woman of high social position. Nor do we advance the easy theory by this catalogue that everybody does it’ and that secija) virtue is unknown in official station, But we hold that a man in publie station should be held responsible for the acts affecting the discharge of hia duty as a public man, and that in regard to the other side of his life he is entitled to the privacy of the ofdinary citizen. The motives, the facts and the actions of private life are at beat but faintly disclosed to those outside the family circle. may compute, What's done we But know not what's Neither do we know the change of purposes neces- sitated and the acts of reparation done, * * 9 * * * 0 In regard to licentiqusnesa, one instanceds alleged, that of a widow who is said to have had a child by N f i 1 i} gee tf ＋ 11121 1 3 eae 2 a" Wig Why cholera!

Ou of Dr. Koch's chief injunctions as a means of preventing the spread of cholera ia to avoid using water for drinking purposes. Dr. Koch may bea great scientist and a smart man, but he is wofully behind the times in enunciating this important prin- ciple. There are plenty of men in &. Louis who have been acting on it steadily for the last twenty years, Turns is no excuse for slighting one's friends in the matter of photographs since the advent of the postage picture, and limited means no longer stands in the way of ample distribution of copies of them selves by persons with an intense admiration for their own faces. They are cheap as dirt as com- pared with regular photographs, a hundred of them costing only $1 50,and among certain people they are very popular. They are stuck on cards, on let- ters, on business notices, in autograph books, on presenta, on everything that offers a suitable spot. They are just the invention that drummers and country pewspaper editors have been looking for, and it is a very modest commercial! tourist who does not leave a trail of himself on every trip to keep his memory green, Turns are various uses which the postage-stamp photograph may serve. It fills a long felt want to the young man who finds the common card or tin type of his girl difficult to paste in his watch case. Already thousands of stamps with pictures of Blaine and Cleveland on them have been struck off, and after serving to introduce the candidates to the masses, they might be stuck on ballota for illiterate voters, One young lady in the West end has com- menced papering her room with photographs of her gentlemen friends, and has one side finished, and one young man had ordered a lot of photographs of his girl for the same purpose, when ashe went back on him and he has them for sale te some other fellow, THERz are plenty of photographers who strike the stamps off, but there is only one in the elty who gums them just as postage stamps are, He is an old German photographer and since he has begun this business he is making a small fortune at it, He has so many orders for gummed postage stamp photos that he has practically ceased making any other kind. Tus bicyclers have had the streets pretty much all to themselves heretofore, but there are indica- tions that their privileges will be shared by a bevy of fair tricyclers before long. A young ladies’ tri- cycle club has been formed on Locust street, and, from the earnest practicing that has been going on after dark, the members will doubtless soon feel warranted in appearing by daylight, There is only | one machine in the club, and it is in constant opera- tion by the members between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock p. m. There is some awkwardness as yet arising trum the old-fashioned skirt, but on several oecasions suspicious looking ganmenta have ap peared above the treadles, and after the girls get used to them in the dark they may pluck up coar- arge enough to make their first formal appearance as a club in uniform. There is even talk of the dudine tricyvie club challengtug the dude bicycle club to a trial of speed. Tun eartoonists for the comic papers do wonder- ful work sometimes, but now and then they show a remarkable lack of knowledge of very common laws and principles. A cartoon in Puck not long ago repre- sented Butler and Kei vainly try- ing to stop the Cleveland water- wheel. The exigencies of the picture re- quired a littie license, but it was rather too much to represent 4 man trying to stop a wheel while hang- ing on the down side, with nothing to rest his feet on, and if he had been pulled over by the irresistible power of the water his head was turned in the wrong direction, This week the immaculate college bird, Life, is guilty of @ worse blunder. In a cartoon rep- resenting Blaine flying a kite with’ too heavy a tall, instead of the kite drawing hard at the heavy load in the attempt to rise, as every boy knows it should, the kite is pietured turning a whirligig, with a loose and flapping tail-cord, just as any light-tailed kite would, Our brilliant cartoonists in illustrating their ideas should pay some regard te the laws of nature and art. Tre annual croak from the summer hotel men is heard im the land. Again they are eompiaining of dull times and no guests. It certainly does seem as if the weather for the past two or three seasons has conspired ageinst the resort men, and a few more coo! seasons will resuit in ruin, unless the scoop can be applied strongly to their few guesta, The croak, however, represents so much comfort to the vastly onate number who have to stay at home, that very little sympathy can be aroused for the hosts of expensive resort caravangaries, Asovut the happiest bey I have seen recently is a panion it was plain to be seen that only a lack of capital prevented their following suit, The truth is, with the saving of time and car fare taken into consideration, it is a ques- tion whether the introduction of cles for the use of the boys would not be a good move on : i eil H 74 Hf i prowess and bravery by a feat that has probably few parallels in the annals of war, During a close and hot engagement he killed five officers of the op- posing force by his own unaided efforts, in hand - to- hand fight with his claymore, the weapon used by the Highlanders For this gallant action he was promoted directly to the rank of Major, and while his regiment is sweltering in Egypt, he has succeeded in capturing a wealthy Scotch lassie. The wedding was attended by some of the highest personages in the United Kingdom. As aw instance of how pertinacious the inhabitants of India are in clinging to their caste and religious prejudices, it is related that at a circus performance which was attended by a man whom the Vishnus worship as the incarnation of the deity, the heavy weight gymnast approached him to show that an iron ball he was handling was solid. When hia in- tentions were known to the attendants they became very much excited, and attempted to shove him away and to prevent his coming near the Maharaj. A personal encounter between the circus people and the attendants was only prevented by by an explan- ation of the fact that the touch of a foreigner was considered pollution to a holy man, Tre hotel keepers and the proprietors of resorts on the Italian lakes are in great perturbation over the quarantine regulations required by the Govern- ment, which provide that travelera shall be sub- jected to a delay of five days before being permitted to enter the borders of the country, It is claimed that this will practically cut off all travel to Italy except such as ig absolutely necessary for the transaction of business, and that tourists will refuse to submit to the stoppage. It will result in closing the passes and St. Gothard passage, which has hitherto been a bonanza to its owners, and no visitors are expected at the lakes as long as the regulations are in force, An interesting experiment in the way of practical education is about to be tried by Lord Vernon, He nas a large dairy establishmbnt at Sudbury, where upwards of 8,500 galluns of milk are handled daily. It is proposed te conduct, in connection with the factory, a dairy school, v here everything pertaining to the work ofadairy farm, such as the proper handling of cows, milk and butter and cheese making, will be taught practically. The plan has the indorsement of educators and is expected to effect admirable resulta in the ultimate improve ment of dairy products, Two curicia questions are receiving considerable diacussion in the English papers on matters of im- portance to dwellers at popular resorta, and as to whether they may be considered nuisances subject to abatement by process of law. Ona is the street preaching indulged in by religious enthusiasts dur- ing the day time, and the other is the incessant crowing of cocks during the night. Between the two the patients at the health resorts are not able to get peace in the day or sleep at nicht. The cock crow- ing question has been brought into the court ona petition for an injunction to restrain the cocks. It has been suggested as a solution of the crowing dif- ficulty, that as a cock cannot indulge in this pas- time except by lifting his head and stretching his neck, the roosts be built se as to render both of these acts impossible. No feasible plan has been suggested for closing the preachers’ mouths, THE METROPOLITAN PRESS, What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch.

In all right, justice or equality Cincinnati has @ very poor case appeal. There is no ques- tion, whatever, that Foutz severed his connection with the Bay Citys July 19. That Secretary Morton did not attend to his business, is a very poor and miserable. technicality for the Cincinnati’ club to base ita claim upon, and it does not reflect credit upon the manliness or straightforwardness of the parties urging the appeal. e+e Here is something well worth reading. tt is from the Philadelphia Times,and I submit it without | without comiment. Thereis no doubt as to the fact that base-bal! is overdone. aid the lack of discipline in many ranks is due to this fact: “The base-vai war is stili raging and will wax hot- ter as the season draws to a close. The expulsion of Charles Sweeney, the Providence pitcher, and his acquisition by the St. Louis Unions has been fol- lowed by the desertion of Vickerson from the Lucas ranks. Rumors that Glassvock and McCormick have asked for their release from Cleveland have been denied by both these players in person. Lucas has secured a poor 8 in Sweeney.“ said M r Bancroft of the vidence Club. ‘His aus bee given out and he can only throw underhand. He was no to the Providence Club the last two weeks we him.“ “Millio said about the same thing of Taylor when he jumped over tothe Athletics, but Taylor is doing work. “The National Agreement Clubs claim that the Union Association has established an agent in every city where there is a club, and that the offers made by these agents in their efforts fo sccure the best players, have been the cause of the recent disaffec- tion in different parts of the country. “ ‘Discipline has gone tothe dogs.“ remarked a well-known manager at Recreation Park, ‘but while National Agreement Clubs may suffer now, the tables will be turned upon the Unions in the end.“ 2 Matthews. pitoher of the Athletic. is among the latest to receive an offer from the Union Club. He received a dispatch offering him $4,000 per year. The little pitcher o his eyes, showed the dis- tch to Sharsig and then tore it up. Base- ball players are ruleing high. Good pitchers bring all the way from $2,000 to $4,000; catchers are scarce at $3,000; lders command as much, if not more, while very r outfielders will bring $2,000, pro- vided they jump a contract. No player will si a contract now without real estate security. Mullion- aire Lucas has the call and is bulling the market. “The fessed opposition of the Union Associa- tion to reserve rule, if the rumors now prevalent can be relied upon—and they seem to be well au- thenticated—was originally decided ~ solely to ain public sympathy. It is charged that at the timore meeting the representatives of all the clubs had a private understanding th&t they wouid not interfere with any player belonging to another Union club. This amounts to the same thing as the reserve rule. There is scarcely a doubt but that the National Agreement clubs will again indorse the re- serve rule at their fall meetings. Boston, Provi- dence, New York, Buffalo and Chicago, of the Na- tional e clubs, will vote for it. The Phila- deiphia Club is on the fence, and Cleveland and Detroit are said to be against it. In the American Association President Von der Ahe and Manager Williams of the St. Louis Club have taken the in- itiative and declared for the reserve rule. Cincin- nati, Columbus, Louisville, Metropolitan, Baltimore, Brooklyn and the Athletics will vote to indorse it, while of the remaining five clubs probably three will be in favor of an open market. „„Ball players never think for themselves,’ said Manager Harry Wright; ‘they jump first and think afterward. How isit possible fora club drawing 500 and 600 people toa game to offer g. O and $4,000 salaries is a mystery, and live players never stop to think. These salaries would ruina club drawing much larger audiences.’ “*What chance has a player who pape from a National ment Club toa Union Club to live?’ chimed in r Bancroft of Providence. ‘He may make a mr salary for one year, but the next season he will be at the mercy of the Union man- agers. He is ostracised by all National Agreement Clubs, and if he does not accept any offer the Unions may make him he can not play 9 IXIox. Games to Come Off.

The St. Louis Browns are playing the greatest games of ball they have ever played, and their work this week has been the most brilliant in their career They have had a mighty hard tussle with Cinci?- nati, in which they won two of three cames—vic- tories which will positively count in the champion- ship race. Their defeat at Louisvillayesterday, was after a bitter fight for fourteen innings, in which the pitchers held the batters at their mercy. Dave Foutz has shown himself to be one of the most skill ful pitchers in the country, and his work the past wee y substantiates the prediction that he would prove of incalculable service to the St. Louis Browns, and the money spent in securing him was doubly well placed. Foutz was backed up by Tom Deasley, who caught in his old-time mag- nificent form. Hecker pitched for Louisville, and the Browns could not hit him effectively. As an ev- idence of the wonderful work by Foutz, but six hits up to the fourteenth inning were made off him. In this inning three singles aud Quest’s bad break won them the game. Had Foutz been properly sup- ported St. Louis would have won the game. As it is, he has shown himself to be a first-class, every day pitcher,and the future is remarkably bright for him. The game was won the four- teenth inning by a score of 5 to 2. American Association, The race in this associatiou coutinues as full of in- teresting phases as has marked its progress for the last seven weeks, and while the Metropolitans have gone to the front on berrying excursions, their turn for a set-back will soon come again. St. Louis has done great work this week, winning three out of five games with the big guns—Columbus and Cincinnati. Louisville and Columbus are closely pressed for sec- ond and third place by St. Louis and Cincinnati, and the games the coming week will tell immensely on the reiative standing of the clubs toward the championship gual.

The young short- stop was rash enough to wager that amount that Fulmer could not change from a citizen's attire to a base-ball uniform, ready to go on the fleld, in two minutes and a quarter. The bet was made, and yes- terday afternoon, in the dressing-room at the grounds, befere the game, the trial took place. Charlie Jones and Heck Carpenter held the watches, and Fuhner made the rapid change in two minutes and five seconds. Jones said afterward that if one of Fulmer's shoe-strings had not wiped. the change would have been made in one nute and three- quarters. Sporting Sundries. .

What prettier present could a lover give his “fayre ladye” than a four-leaved shamrock, in gold or set with jewels? It is such a favorite emblem of good fortune and so graceful withal that its popu- larity ia not at all surprising. It appears as a lace- pin, as an ornament to a bracelet, etc. Sometimes they are set with tiny emeralds, with a diamond dew-drop on one leaf. Another novelty in the way of jewelry is the short- fob watch chain. which has passed out of fashion with the men only to become the with women.

The war set out to be a tragedy, and wound up by becomin’ an entire farce. Connected with the old Bowery Theater in the last pe were two men called Whalley and Raw- g.

Finally, after a number of “tongue fights,’ in which both parties generally came out even, the two men decid- ed to fight it out, if only they could get a place where noone would know aboutthe matter and Where ey would not be disturbed. Sowho , simple as it seers, it wasn’t easy to get such a piace, and at last each of the men communi- cated their idea of a gpet-to to settle their differ- ences to a mutual friend, in the strietest confidence of course. And of course these two mutual friends deter- mined to have some fun out of the affair. So, actin’ in concert, the two amateur seconds sugested to their principals that the fight should take place on the stage of the old Theate itself, late in the afternoon, afterall the were over, and all the stage hands had gone off til the evenin’ and nobody was round but the watch- man. At this time in the afternoon the stage of a thea- ter is really about as lonely a place as one can well strike in a large city, and as little likely as any to be invaded or djsturbed. And then jt is very conven- jent. too, affordin’ ample room. Altogether it was just the spot for just a set-to as was in contempla- tion. The idea of the theater as a fightin’ ground struck the two men chiefly conéorned rather od at first, but the more they thought about it the bet- ter they liked it, for its very oddity. at last, after their two self-appointed seconds had talked em- selves hoarse ip its favor, the two principals agreed to the proposition, and the set-to was set down for 5 o'clock on a Friday afternoon. Then the two mutual friends of the two principals had interviews with the different members of the compeny, and with the stage hands, and with sew eral musicians in the orchestra, and with the pro erty man. The guns and pistols around the esta lishment were loaded, and a few extra weapons were borrowed. The rain box was got ready, and the wind cylinder, the thunder and lightnin’ were prepares, all arrangements for colored fires in pro- ‘usion were made, the traps were put in workin’ or- der, and one would have thought that the theater was gettin’ prepared for a “local” piece of the most “sensational” description. But everythin’ was kept quiet as the grave, and when the two principais arrived with their two seconds (arrangements havin’ been made with the watchman to admit em) they found nothing but a Vast stage all ready for the contemplated struggle. The two men Rawlings and Whalley, had always heartily disliked each other, and by this time their dislike had condensed into positive hate. This feel- in of animosity had been, as rt of the plan, fo mented by the two mutual friends of the partie and by the time the lead man and the busines manager stood on the old Bowery stage that Friday. afternoon, giarin’ at each other, they really meant mischief and “thirsted for gore The seconds gravely saluted each other, the prin cipals wert through the ordinary formula of pre liminary politeness, and then the preparations for the conflict began, accord’ to the rules of the prize ring as nearly asthe seconds had been able to get at ‘em in the limited time allowed ‘em for “cram- min’.” near Brighton.

The Barnum Circus was showing at Cortland, N. Y., on the afternoon of July 23, whena storm sud- denly came up The wind, rushing around the hills about the town, produced a whirlwind, which struck the performing-tent from the West side, near the dressing tent. In a moment the guy-ropes were torn from their fastenings, and soon the big tent was leveled. The hippodrome performance was about to commence, and the terrified auditors rush- ed outamong the horses. The scene is described'as in- — exciting for a time. No deaths are reported though about seventy-five persons were wounded, twenty-five more or less seriously. None of the cir- cus attaches was hurt. Barnum, Bailey & Hutch- inson's loss was confined to the canvas, and is placed at a nigh figure. The accident necessited a post- ment of the evening performance. Mr. Hutch- inson ordered all possible care taken of the suffer- rs. Theodore Barriere, the French dramatic author, had an attack of cholera in 1854 in Paris. He was taken suddenly ill as he was going out for his ac- customed ride. He felt cold all over, and shivered from head to foot.

She often wore strings of pearls in, her black bair. Marie Louise, being a light blonde with a particularly fair skin delicately colored, wore almost constantly diamonds in profnsion. The t set of sap- prise, WAR the same a by seen in the present coll was also one of the prized jewels of the Empress. It is said that the Empress Eugenie was, among. all the sisters of the throne of France, the sovereign who most delighted in the changing and wearing of the crown jewels. The completion of the wondrous set of Oriental pearis was entirely due to her. The four necklacesshe wore as an orna- mentation to her dress. She also liked the famous setof diamonds and turquoises. The rure of which were wont to sparkle so brilliantly in coutrast to her golden hair, being quite her own private pro , was sold after the fall of the Em- pire; also necklace of PIGRON-EGG PEARLA, 80 styled on account of their perfect shape and size. These became the property of Mme. de Pavia, who purchased them at public sale. It was the Empress who originated the supplé mounting of precious stones to imitate flexible garlands of fruit and flow- she ornamented her dresses or coiffure. She had yards of currants and vine leaves made in this way, which is still considered the most beautiful of setungs. The chief social event of the last week of the London season was the fete at the Healtheries“ for the benefit of the London hospitals. A most ex- traordinary list of devices contributed to the enter- tainment of the guests. Countessesjserved as shop- women behind stalls,a princess sold bouquets and cigars, and young women,in the thinnest of garments, fluttered ut the terraces and sold cigarettes to deluded dudes at exorbitant prices. A curious attraction of the show was a cow-house full of real cows, which wore electric lamps concealed in the gariands surrounding their horns. A social affair, not dissimilar in character, is to take place next November in St. Louis. THE FAIR to be held at the new Exhibition Building will con- trate the social energies of the fashionable peo- ote of the town. A number of novel attractions are o be introduced, but they are still profound secrets. The Punch table 1s to be one of the prettiest, as the young ladies in aitendance will all be in costume the exact character of which has not as yet been decided. Although no reasonable objection can be offered to a Woman's Club such as has recently been organ- ized i London, the success of such an enterprise would hevertheless seein to be extremely doubtful. The ill-success of — § similar projects would seem to indicate that, for all they may say to the con- trary, women find the presence of the masculine brute practically, indispensable. It is true that semi-mythological history tells of tribes of Ama- zons who declined to have anything to do with men, and men made war against them. But this was in ancient times, and such things are not possible nowadays. But there is something anomalous about a woman'’sclub. What amusement could women find ata club? Women do not care for cards, bill- iards, or for any of the amusements so dear to the other sex. They do not like to smoke or care to drink. The club would accordingly resolve itself into a sort of permanent sewing circie, where the members could tear their neighbors’ reputations into little. bits. NOVEL PLAN.

Vermont will give him from 15,000 to 20,000 majority, aud I believe Massachusetts will go Republican. The only doubt- ful State is Conn cut, which may go other way. Win Butler cut much of a figure in Massachusetts if he runs?” “I do not think so, and if he does he will draw as much or more from the Democrats than from the Republicans, I was talking to a Republican, who was a strong Butler man, and he said that they thought a — was necessary in the Governorship, and concluded to give Butler a chance, but that they were tired of him, as he proved unprincipled, and all for Butler. There is an 1 movement in most of the Eastern States but it is not large en h to seriously affect the result, The Springfield pudlican is at the head of it,and somehow there is an impression down our way that it is always safe to bet on.the opposite side from the Republican.” A DULL SEASON. Mr. Charles Scudder of the Lindell returned has just from Minnetonka, where he has spent most of thesummer. He says that the season has been only fair at the St. Louis, although it has been as good and better than anywhere else. Reports from most of the resorts indicate an extremely dull season. “How do you account for the dullness?” asked ths reporter. “Lack of surplus cash in the country, and the coolness of the weather. There has been no weather in St. Louis to drive ple to the resorts, although we have had delightful weather at Minnetonka, and a splendid class of people. Gen. Sherman has been with us with a large party of friends, and he has en- joyed himself thoroughly. he outlook from now on, Mr. Scudder thinks, is excellent, and there is a prospect of a late season. The Au Fait Club, composed of about twenty young men, start up to-morrow by special car, and he National Guards leave on the 9th inst.

It is nothing uncommon for a horse to bb backed at Tattersalls in one afternoon to win $500,000, and nodeubt on many occasions the sum has been doubled with regard to the chance ofa single animal.

Foremost among the prolongers of life we find Paracelsus, au alchemist of great renown, and a man of considerable attainments. He claimed to have discovered the elixir of life. So great was his influence that even the learned Eras- mus did not disdain to consult him. Patients and pupils flocked around him from every 2 Europe. About this epoch, one mard Thurneysser attained world-wide ce- lebrity as an astrologer and nativity-caster. He was a physician, printer, bookseller and horoscopist, all in one. He professed that, by the aid of astrology, he could not only predict future events, but likewise prolong life. He published yearly an astrological calendar de- scribing the nature of the forthcoming year and its chief events. His calendar and other uackeries enabled him to amass the sum of ,000 florins. TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD. Shortly after the death of Louis XIII of | France, who was bled forty-seven times during the last ten months of existence, a contrary | method came into fashion. Transfusion was | for a time relied upon as a means for invigorat- ing and prolonging life. The operation was rformed by ald of a small pipe conveying ood from the artery of one person to another, In Paris, Drs. Dennis and Riva were enabled to cure a young man who had previously been treated in vain for lethargy. Further experi- ence not being so s&tisfactory, this device as a 5 er of life became discarded. Francis zacon held somewhat unique ideas regarding the possible prolongation of existence. He re- garded life as a flame, continually being con- sumed by the surrounding atmosphere, and he thence concluded that by retarding vital waste and renewing the bodily powers from time to time, life might be lengthened. With the ob- ject of preventing undue external vital waste, — advised cold bathing, followed by friction. SOME NOTORIOUS CHARLATANS. Numerous charlatans have appeared, and still appear at intervals, loud in their asseverations of having discovered the veritable elixir of life —gold, tinctures and many other nostrums with which they mendaciously ——e to prolong life. The most notorious of these empirics was the Count de St. Germain, who with barefaced effrontery protested that he had already existed for centuries by the aid of his Tea of Long Life,” which he declared would rejuvenate man- kind. On close examination his miraculous philter was ascertained to consist of a simple infusion of sandal wood, fennel and senna A great stir was created in 1785 by the occult pretensions of a fanatical physician in France named Mesmer. He _ vaunted “sion of extraordinary magnetic which enabled him forthwith, by ite agency, to remove every disease ane prolong life. At the king's desire a commission was instituted to ro- ort upon this phenomenon, in which Dr. N ‘ranklin took a leading part. The only practi- cal result of this inquiry was the discovery of an animal electricity. At one time Meamer re- fused £40,000 livres for his secret. After Dr. Franklin's investigations Mesmer lapsed into obscurity. Last, but not least in the formost rank of nitpdstors»was Joseph Balsamo, alias Count de Cagliostro. This charlatan appeared just before the first French Revolution. During is remakable career Cagliostro made more than one fortuue, a he su uently lost, and died in prison m 175. The distinguished Cardinal de Rohan was one of his elne du a Like St. Germain, Balsamo boasted that he had discovered the élixif of life, and throughout Europe 2 persons of all degrees eager to THE HARDENING PLAN.

When we reflect that the main principle of Ife depends upon the pliabil- ity of every organ, combined with free circt- lation, it naturally follows that rigidity must be unfriendly to longevity. Perpetual cold baths, exposure to keen air, and exhausting ex- ercise, were advocated by the ‘hardeniz school.” Like most enthusiasts, they carrie their ideas to excéss, a limited use of which would have beerrbeneficial. Later on, a theory well suited tothe idle and luxurious gained many adherents, namely, to retard bodily waste by atrancelike sleep.

He saddled his horse, and rising at daybreak, reached the village once a mining camp, before d o'clock. When school was called to order he found that efficient work demanded a reclassification, for the previous teacher had tried to gain cheap favor by ad- vancing grades and skipping the hard places, and had come to grief by begging a En boy not to smoke a cigarette in school. The play- ful iads ducked him in the adjacent stream sousinig him up and down till he escaped, waded to the farther bank, and sough® other pastures, But the new teacher was of sterner material. “T shall have an examination to-day to see where you belong, and must turn you back in your grades if you deserve it,” he said. A loud murmer of discontent and almost open rebellion followed. Nothing abashed, the teacher made his first and last speech. He took from the table a book and addressed an older upil: . “Do you know what this is?” „Ves, sir; the school law.” „And it defines the grades, and yon all think you have passed the examinations, and that I can’t go behind the law?” “Yes, sir.” . „Very well! Now you are quite mis : Iam the Alcalde of this school, I am A and register, and judge and jury, and absolute finality here.” And with this revolutionary and comprehen- sive statement he threw the school law out of the window, and eeded, amid an. awe- struck throng, to break up and consolidate class after class, reorganizing the school on his own system.

ROMANCE OF A GONDOLA. a Mr. Samuel Gusti was a very rich stock- broker, Who haf pe AN od life us an office boy to the eminent 1 in Which he was now the senior partner, was a buraptious, ing individual, exceeding proud of — Iie money, his family, and, indeed, of ev which belonged to him, og he well o indeed, Mr. Camby had tio idea of hiding his light under a bushel, and, though by tio mean extravagant, he hever hani to money upon his own gratification, it was done in a sufficiently — 7 fashion. Mr. Gumby a very fine mente a great number of 3 and plent of horses and carriages; but his pet weak- he had been from of a penny steanir, keen interest in matters aquatic, and one of the first extravagances of which he had been guilty was the purchase of a steam launch, .

On asteam Jaunch, however, or on the smooth lawh of his house at Maiden . Mr. Gumby was quite in his élement, He at- tired himself in flamfiels standing in a very cuous condition on the duck of the Hertha he had named her after a well known stack), he iasued his orders to the crew; or to the N footmen Hey con- stantly accompan im pom- ty of the captain of an tron clad. On his — too, the worthy stockbroker never for- got to impress all passers-by with a sense of his wealth and dignity. In fine weather he took ost of his meals there, by his family and waited on by numerous servants. He erected an open marquee, under whith ta- bles seemed to remain most of the da , ready for a meal of some sort, and covered costly plate and bottles of champagne. , It is needless to remark that the Henley re- gatta annually afforded Mr. Gumby excellent opportunities for the gratification of his ruling passion. At the aquatic carnival, as it is the fashion to call it. he always made a point of ap- earing in tremendous state. He lived in a ‘i at of abnormal dimensions and unpreéedent- ed mannificence, while two of more smaller craft of the same description served for the ac- commodation of a party of friends. He was, ot course, attended by a large staff of servants, who slept in the town and appeared at an early hour in the morning to minister to his wants. One lovely June morning Mr. Gumby war} seated in a luxurious armchair on the lawn of his house reading his letters. As he had two r three partners and a large staff . the worthy stockbroker Was not in the t of ap- pearing at his offices much before noon. More- over, business was comparatively Slack. 0 in fine weather he frequently did not go to the city at all. One of his letters was from au eminent artist of the vague school, whom Mr. Gumby had commissioned to paiut him some views of Venice. Mr. Lozvaroney Mezzotinter Brown, for such was this distinguished painter's name, or that, at all events, by which he called him- self, wrote to announce that his work had been satisfactorily completed, and that he Was on the point of returning home. „By the way,” wrote Mr. Brown, “I wonder that a man so fend of the river as you are has never tried a Venetian gondola. It is a de lightful craft, and the motion {ts dreamy and luxurious. Thereis one to be sold just now which was expressly built, fora young foble- man who has unfortunhtely ruined himself by gambling. You would, of course, wanta gon- dolier, but that coukd be easily miapaged. . i am sure it would look charming at Henley.” Mr. Gumby always paid Mr, L. M. Brown ex- cellent prices for his dats, anti astute person who perfectly understood his patron's weaknesses. That stock broker was much taken with thé notion. ‘An excellent idea of Browns, he nuused: ‘it would look splendid at Henley; aod what a rise ) it would take out of old Sharon; he would be green with envy. I'll go ‘and the missus and the girls.” Mrs. and the Misses Grunby were of course, enchanted, and a tel was romans patched to Mr. Brown, bidding him to secure the gondola at once, aud e it sent over in charge of a trustworthy The gentleman whom Mr. h to turn green with envy at the new ar tion was a 12 meee oe ~ an friend and rival of the stock a part- nerinthe great house of Sharon & Bons for- eign loan agents apd finanelers, and, unfortu- nately for Mr. yr ee ag of mind, his tastes lay in the same ar eminent patron of matters r. Sharon was very fond of the river; _ a house not very far from MY. by’s; sessor of a steam lauuch, and he ususilly monop- olized a hundred yards or so of. the bank at Henley witharow of go house boats. The sight of Mr. Sharon house Mr. launch and house boats had | — righteous soul os the stockbroker. Sharon was exceedingly fond of display, and he seemed to take a malicious pleasure in cutting oft Mr. Gumby in his own special line. When the latter gentleman started a cou of flunkeys gorgeous in blue and silver Mr. Sharon responded with four resplendea in crimson and gold. Mr. Gumby increased his staff to four, but Mr. Sharon’ was not to be outdone, and flaunted half a donon in the eyes of his rival. Mr, Gumby's steam had a pan ueterie deck and blue satin hang- ings; but Mr. Sharon's was adorned with elec- tro-plated rails, which some people averred were solid silver. A profusion of silver plate littered on the tables of Mr; Gumby's lawn; rut — 11 — gold, or, at all events, sil- ver gilt. Hence it came to pass that Mr. Gum- by hated Mr. Sharon with a — 1 and — 8 with delight m in the gondola for Mr. Gumby at a ridiculously low figure—which ne worthy stockbroker to bly; and that he would without delay, accompanied ble gondolier, who rejoiced name of Angelo Macaroni. mind was at rest, and glee to the arrival of the complete discomfiture Sharon. and the gondola and were introduced to — Mr.G@untby purchase, iste aay! 2 17 0 j cu to | and oS interview bar ari a straw hat, and, the artist was an was the pos- | 9 * air of astonishment and chagrin with which | 0. ae 7g mg my boy,” „What do you think bf come from Venioh the Hagn’t he green!” he added ‘Intea fit of any me to it of ti" while Shaten and b * * i dtaw- un utter of Italian, and his wife an — al they dete l vested in a phfase book atid a dictionary 1 musical lam unge, Gould not be éxpetted to make much in it before the tta. ‘ — bo notable plan for .

The News Received at the Democrat. ic Committee Headquarters. — — The German Vote ofthe Country Deserting Mr. Blaine and Going to Reform Can- didate Cleveland—The Con- science Fund. By Telegraph to the Fust. Dispatch. WASHINGTON, August 2.—The Democratic Con- gressional Committee are receiving reports from Ohio ahd Indiana, which encourage them very much. Indeed they are quite satisfied with the situation generally they say, but are especially pleased ‘with the prospects in those two States. They claim that the German element is coming over to Cleveland very rapidly. The recent suits against saloon keepers in Ohio under the Scott law have had the effect of stirring up the German vote very much and will, they believe, strengthen the Democratic party very much in that State. Persons arriving here from Ohie say that the Germans are greatly excited over the workings of the Scott law, and that Hamiltop Gouuty, the key to the situation in Ohio, will go largely Democratic at the coming elections. In Indiapaand other States further west the effect of the Prohibition Convention will, itis believed, be felt materially. This is also the fact they say with reference to Ohio. There area half dozen States where the Prohibition element is very strong and several of these are very close States. Ohio Indiana, UAlindis lowa, Kansas, Wisconsin and Minnesota, ha vo a very strong Prohibition element and one that is growing every,year. What proportion of this element will 8. the Prohibition National ticket is hard tosay. Should itturn out that more than the usual proportion drifts with that ticket, the result would be to render not.only Ohio and Indiana doubtful States, but some others in the list above given. Wisconsin, the Democratic leaders say, is not at all certain for the Republicans.

Wasutnoton, July 81.— Society is giving its atten- tion tothe river again this week. With some por- tions of it this came near proving fatal A collision took place just below Washington between a couple of boats, one of them loaded with several hundred Ww passengers, and it was little short of a miracle that the one carrying these was not sunk at once. The Washington steamer was badly damaged but managed to reach the Washington wharf float- ing. Further up the river, at the race course of the boat clubs, there has been constant attention. The races to-day (Thursday) have been the event of the week. The attendance has been not alone from Washington, but from other cities as well, Balti- more, Philadelphia, Richmond and elsewhere. The cool afternoons during the week have been the signal for the revival of festivities at the boat clubs on the river, and there have been some very agree- able dances and boat parties. The Barrett Club, a prominent amateur dramatic organization of this city, isto give an entertainment on the river to about 300 of their friends. A handsome steamer has been chartered and will carry them down the river for an éxcursion, a dance and a lunch. An inter- esting programme is announced and a good time” promised. The society portion of the Navy is a good deal disturbed by the Graduate Scheol at Newport. Thig school must be attended by the young officers of the Navy, and while they are quite willing to go to Newport if they can afford it, they find that after a winter's experi- ence in Washington, society they are generally pretty short of funds. A local paper which is re- garded as especially AN ARMY AND NAVY ORGAN, speaking of this, says: “The young officers of the navy complain that it is an utter impossibility for them to live in a comfortable manner upon their limited means in that high-priced locality. They also say that had Boston been selected for the location of the school no objection would be heard, as they could reside there with their families in a comforta- bie way and the school would have lost none of the advantages gained by locating at Newport.” The life of an army or navy officer in society is demor- altzing. There is a certain fixed income every month. and nothing to do but spend it. In addition t that there are keen-eyed, hard mhearted brokers at every turn who are anxious to advance on the pay account of the officer, and the result is that he is — 4 in debt to these fellows. Of course they charge him enormous rates of interest, and while he wears good clothes and cuts a fine figure in pub- lic his nose is to the grindstone. It is bad, though for him to have to endure tour or five months of thiseach year in Washingtoh, but when there is added to it three or four months more at Newport it breaks his heart, but not his pocket-book, for this isalready broken. It is whispered that the real cause of Gen.Swaim's troubles is his habit of loaning money at exorbitant rates of interest to army and navy Officers. Whether this is true no one can tell, but he has had the reputation of being a sort of monev-broker, and it bas even been alleged that his great influence with Garfield was, in part at least, due to a mortgage which he held for money loaned to that individual. The dressmakers and dealers here are rustling about. inthe absence of society, preparing for the coming autumn campaign in new dresses. When it comes to paying $1,000 for a dress and to HAVING A DOZEN OF THEM to get through a single winter, itis a pretty serious item when the salary of the highest paid Govern- ment official is, omitting the President, no more than $12,000 per year. The Admiral of the Navy and the General of the Army get about $12,000 a year, or as much as a dozen of those dresses would cost. The fact is.“ said the leading spirit of a man- milliner's establishment in Washington to your cor- respondent, The fact is, there are plenty of dresses to be seen in Washington society that cost more than $1,000. “Where do these come from? Are they made ere!“ As a rule, no. Most of these very expensive ones come from abroad.” Ho do these people manage to get the latest fashions from abroad? They don't go to Europe every year?” No, they usually go about once in three or four years,; such people, for instance, as the family of the Secretary of State. ora dozen others I might mention. The fashions in these sort of dresses do not change so often u one would suppose, When they do, it is easy tochange the dress to fit the fashion. A few changes in the way the thing hangs, or in their tucks, or skirts, or puffs, makes a won- derful change. They often spend $5,000, or $10,000, or $15,000 on a trip of this kind. Itis not necessary, however, for one who goes in the best society here to spend so much as this per year. A lady may go to public receptions, etc., at the White House and eisewhere, at a comparative cost of. say $1,000 a year. Of vourse, in the beginning, she must put $2,000 or $3,000 in evening dresses, For about $300 or $400 you can geta very good evening dress. These would not do, however, for wearing in the day-time. The evening dresses are made up from a class of material that would not SHOW WELL IN DAYLIGHT, cheap goods, so to speak. They answer the same urpose at night, however, and look very nice. For 53.050 one could get up, say, about seven or eight pretty respectable evening dresses. They would do very well or the first winter. Then. if “prope taken care of in the meantime, by a judicious expe, diture of $1,000 you can fit them up for the next sea- son. Thus you see $1,000 a year would run one along very comfortably for several years; $250 to $400 is aslow as youcan makean evening dress thai is worth wearing.” “Is it not rather embarrassing for a lady to weara dress though after it has been described once in the 9*? papers! “Oh, that is enough fixed.
