There 13 some concern about congress and the executive departments to know w hether the troubles of the Ateaison, Topeka Santa Fe ra.'lrcad company will affect the investigation intc the affairs of the different departments which the joint congress committees of the two houses are making. It is a fact which toes not seem to be generally known, that -I r. Joseph A Rein hart, president, and one of the re ceivers of this road U the chief expert of this eoiiimls.-iou. H was employed be cause of his executive and organ izing1 ability and was ailowed to employ two assistants before he would agree to a'-cept the position. He has never given detail- d attention to the in vest jgation, but ha 5 c irected tiie work of his assistants and lis s been able to ac complish much wi'hout giving his actual presence. It is presumed therefore, that the work will be proseetred as before, and that the increased title neee.-sary to be given to the affairs ol the Atmison under a re ceiver will not interf ;r with the govern ment. The experts employed under Mr. Rein hart are at present investigating1 the af fairs of the treasury department, and while it i not und-irrtcxal that they are uitearthitig any mare's nests, it is said that they are iindit g many places in wmeh they are ot the opinion changes can be n;aie to the s' i: pi llicai ion of the service and (he curtailment of expenses.

It is gen erally agreed anion,? democratic genattrs that the rinancial question will be al lowed to remain untouched in the con gress until the tariff bill shall be dis p sed of. Senator Voorhees rej lied to a quest'on concerning his silver bill today, that no effort whatever would, be made to press j it until the tariff bill should be out of j the way. Then, he .-aid, the bid would receive attention and lie tbonpht it would prove the solution ot the problem. It is known that the silver men, wao approved the bonds s utrested by Secre tary Carlisle, will be prepared to use a vote for bonds a gainst, any man who favors silver and to make the war all the. fiercer ou account of ti e bonds. Hence there need be no surprise if the taking- up of the bond proposition may be deferred so long- as to render it impolitic to take it up at all. POSTO FFIC E F J G UUES.

Annual Reception by President and Mrs. Cleveland. A GORGEOUS SIGHT. The Rooms Elaborately decor ated With Flowers. A Crazy Woman Makes a Sen sational Scene. Washington-, D. C, Jan. 1. New Year's opened bright and clear, with more snap and crispness in tiie air than during all of the holiday week. The society event this morning and the early afternoon, was the presidential receution at the White house. The execu tive mansion had been made specially at tractive for the occasion. The floral dec orations were tasteful, but not elaborate. Fesbipns of smilax were hung every where in elaborate profusion, from the friezes, from the walls and from the elec tric light fixtures, and in the state dining room potted palms were placed. In the red room a row of Chinese prim roses stooil on the mantel piece backed by green plants. Palms were clustered before the tire place and in the corne rs of the room. The Hue room, in which the president and the receiving party stood showed the brightest flower effect. The daylight was wholly shut out of this room and the great chandelier with its glittering crystal pendants was all ablaze. Before the window to the southward were grouped palms and plarts. the gor geous scarlet leaves of the Christmas plant being a conspicuous feature. On t lie mantel piece to the westward were Chinese primrose again. The shelf on either side of the room was a bank of bright flowers roses, lilacs, carnations, tulip.? and white hya cinths. The east room decorations were confined to g-reens, with a few Chinese primroses peeping from recesses here and there. The official programme for the president's reception is as follows: At II a. m., the president received the vice president, the members of the cabi net and the diplomatic corps. At 11:13 a. m., the chief justice, the associate justices of the supreme court of tiie United States, (he judges of the United States court of claims, the judges of the court of appeals, and the judges of tiie supreme court of the .District of Col uml.ia. At 11 :23 a. m., senators, representatives and delegates in congress, tiie commis livjners of the District of Columbia and the judicial oilicers of the district, ex members of the cabinet, and ex-ministers of the United States. At 11:10 a. m., the officers of the army and the navy and the marine cerps. At l'i, noon, the regents and the secre tary of the Smithsonian institute, the civil service commissioner, the inter state commission, the assistant secretarys of the departments; the .assistant post master generals, the solicitor general, the assistant attorney generals, the com missioner of labor,the heads of bureaus of the several departments and the president of Columbian institute for the (leaf and dumb. At 12:15 p.vn.. the associate veterans of the war of 1S46, the G. A. 11., the Loyal Legion, and the members of the oldest inhabitants association of the District of Columbia. At lZ-.'jo p. m., reception of citizens which terminated at 2 p.m. The arrange ments for the reception were interrupted it 1 0 o'clock by an untoward incident,w hich fortunately occurred at an hour when it could not mar the reception. A mild mannered woman, evidently of unbal anced mind arrived early at the house, with the announcement that she was there to take r.ossess'on. She was po litely shown through the lower floors of the building by c apta'm Dexter, the chief usher, and then quietly escorted away by a policeman. As the hour for beginning- the recep tion drew near there was a tanglo of handsome vehicles drawing up to the marble portico. The crowd on foot was not large, as the public reception was tc come later. First came the carriages or the diplomats, many of them with heraldic insignia on the boxes, and after that lines of carriages bearing justices of tne supreme court, senators, "representa tives and other officials. The carriages were ranged in double rows, extending the entire sweep of the White house driveways. Promptly at II o'clock the marine band stationed indhe outer corridor of the mam-ion, struck up '"Hail to the Chief." which was the signal for the opening of the reception. In another moment the presidential party appeared at the mid dle landing leading from the private quarters above to the reception rooms be low. First came Colonel Wilson and Captain Pitcher, U. S. A., in full uniform. Then followed President Cleveland with Mrs. Cleveland on his arm. The president wore his conventional garb of black, with Prince Albert. There was a boutonnire in his lapel. Mrs. Cleveland smiled and bowed to those in the double rows which lined the hallways leading to the reception room. It was her first public appearance since the birth of little Esther, and necks were craned to catch a glimpse of the popuiar mistress of the White house. Her hair was brushed up and back in trie simple manner remembered in her early pictures. Her high neck gown was almost entirely free from jewels and the jeweled comb in her hair was the only noticeable ornament to her attire. Following the presidential couple, came Vice President and Mrs. Sievem.on, Secretary and 31 r 3. Gresham, Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle, Secretary end Mrs. Laniont, trie Attorney General and Mrs. Olney, the Postmaster General ami Vi rs. Bissell, Secretary and Jliss Herbert, Secretary and 3Iiss Smith and Secretary and Mrs. 3lortou. Ojce inside the receiving- room, 31 rs. Cleveland quickly drew off her long ploves, in order to continua a custom in which she is almost alone, of giving he Xew- Year's greeting with bare hands. She leaned her left arm on the back of a divan and with the right received the guests. 31 r. Cleveland was first at the door through which the callers came. He grasped the hand of each one, smiling aad giving a "Happy 3"ev Year's' and then jextrously moving the callers on to 3Irs. Cleveland and the line of cabinet ladies who extended across the blue room to the exit door on the other side. Back of the line of cabinet ladies were two or three score of ladies and young girls, official and personal friends of .bis. Cleveland and the cabinet ladies. They took no immediate part in the re ceiving, but their brilliant costumes and jewels, formed an effective background for the official party in front. Mis. Cleveland never looked better than in her gown of a vivid magenta moire with a bodice of Irish point fin ished with an artistic mass of chiffon at the front of the body. The skirt w as en tirely without trimmings; she wore her hair parted in front and drawn back at each side into a simple knot at the back of the head, which was fastened by a gold comb. No flowers were carried. Mrs. Hoke Smith wore grey silk with bodice and sleeves of spaugied sunset velvet. 31 rs. Carlisle was in an elaborate cos tume of steel gray brocade with trimming of pink satin and velvet of the same ehaoe. 31 rs. Lamont was in white satin touch ed with collar and bows of cherry velvet, which was most effective. 31 rs. Bissell looked exceedingly well and no one would ever have supposed that she 'arose from a sick bed to attend thekreception. Her gown of black vel vet made with a plain full skirt and long jacket bodice was exceedingly becoming-. The throat was linished with a heavy riiibm of jet which reached to the foot of the skirt. The l'ollo.ving is a partial list of the gow is of the women participating in the reception: 1 rs. Stevenson wore a handsome gown of heliotrope velvet, the skirt plain and the jacket bodice of heavy moire of the same shade, edged with a faille chiffon. 3Iiss 3Iary Stevenson wore a gown of lilac silk with puffed satin sieeves of the Same shade. 31iss Lelita Stevenson was in a girlish gown of white accordion plaited chiffon over white silk, finished with satin rib bons. 3Iiss Julia Scott, niie green brocaded satin, with plain satin sleeves from which hung groups of crystal pendants; the bodice was finished with an artistic knot of chiffon. 31 iss Letitia Scott, appeared in ca'.e an lait changeable silk wii h a wide collar and vest of pale blue velvet finished with black satin ribbons which were dotted with sequins. The skirt was edged with black fur. .',1 r;. bresham, a splendid reception movn of blue velvet en-l: .due. linished with gold and heavily trimmed with point luce. The sleeves were large and l'uil, and the skirt was elaborately trimmed with lengthwise bands of lace. 3lrs. Olney wore a costume; of light gray moire en-traine, trimmed with some handsome black lace. 31iss Herbert wore w hite me ire antique, the skirt plain and the corsage. finished with chiffon embroidered with chrysanthemums; across the shoulders were tiny bands of ermine. Mrs. 3Iorton was in a handsome, gown of black brocade, finished with jet and a fall faille of black and white lace. The bodice was high with large sleeves, .aid the skirt trailed. WAITE AND CLEVELAND. Senator Teller Talies a -Sliy at IJoth of Tlieiu. Dhxveh, Co!., Jan. 1. Senator H. 3b Teller, arrived from Washington yester day for a brief visit. In an interview last night he said the outlook for Col orado was a very gloomy one and in his opinion would not change so long as the present administration is in power. lie was satisfied, however, that the condition of ti e poor and the finances was much bettor in Colorado than in any of the northern states. He denounced the extra session scheme of Governor Waite as one of the worst things that could have happened to Colo rado. While in Mexico he talked with several officials regarding Governor Wai'e's proposition to circulate Mexican doll irs in Colorado as legal tender; they all made much sport of the, proposition and declared it wa3 not feasible, lie did not mention it to President Diaz, as he was ashamed to. 3Ir. Teller believes that the United States might profitably imitate the finan cial policy of 3Iexico, which is now the most prosperous country on the western continent. He looks for no favorable sil ver legislation, but believes that P dent Cleveland would change his silver policy at once should Great Britain see her way clearly to advocate a double standard. MISSOURI POPULISTS Are in Session at Kansas City It r. Mo- Z.altin THere. Kansas City, Jan. 1.

His Message to the Ohio Legis lature Today. Tax Legislation Proposed to Make Burdens Lighter. NOT A FAIR SHARE. Corporations Do Not Bear Tax ation They Ought, But the Governor Doesn't Want Capital Driven Out. Coi.vmb-s, O., Jan. 1. Governor 31c Kiuloy today in his message to the legis lature says: "Your honorable body meets at a time when the state is suffering from a pro longed industrial depression, for which, unhappily, there appears no immediate prospect of relief. The people will de mand that their representatives shall practice economy in public expenditures which necessity forces upon them in their private expenditures. "A short session and but little legisla tion would be appreciated at a time like this. "Real estate and other tangible prop erty, now," he said, "pays the large share of the taxes, while other varieties of property which are intangible either w holly "escape or bear a disproportionsite share." He suggests that the tax coin mission which" was appointed to, and which did make a report, recently, upon the subject of tax revision be continued for such time as it may he deemed wise. "If is a bi-partisan body. Its report shows that the burden is very unequally distributed and inclines to the view that corporations as a class do not bear their fair share3." The governor warns against tax legis lation framed so as to confiscate capital or drive it out of the state. JUST UN FOR THEM. Africans Like to Scare ForeiKaem Per mission to Oo In Hard to fet. Nkw York, Jan. 1. August Lalou, whose home is at San Francisco, arrived yesterday on the French liner Labour goine from a prospecting trip on the Zambesi river in Mashonaland and the 31atabele country. Lalou says his jour ney proved unsuccessful and that he has had an uncomfortable time in South Africa. He found on arrival there that he had to obtain permission from the British South African company before prospect ing, and that if sue jessful, he would have had to pay over large; amounts ot money a- royalties. The natives, he said are very antagon istic and are righting continually. They fear no power and acknowledge no au thority beyond the South African com pany." They take constant pleasure in menacing white people within their reach. I3IP0IITANT TO A. 0. U. W. UeliiKiuents In I,olges Can't Collect In surance l'ollcier. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 1.

Dickinson, w idow of a deceased member, sued the supreme lodge for 2,000, the amount of his policy in i he order. The certificate of membership says that assessments must be paid before the s;h of each month, and Dickinson had allowed his January dues to become oven 1 ue. He died shortly aftervard, and the order refused to pay the amount of the policy. The; Allegheny county court le cided in favor of the A. O. U. W. and the supreme court has sustainc-d the verdict. RETIRED LISTS MAY GO. Itepreseuttatlve Uailey Introduce Kills to AbolUH Them. Washington, D. C, Jan. 1. Three bills wiiich were introduce'd by Repre sentative Bailey of Texas, will no doubt cause considerable discussion. They are those to abolish the retired list of the judiciary, the army and navy. Retired lists cost the government about $3,00,000 a year. It will be asserted that there is no more reason why the of ficers of the judiciary, the'army and the navy should receive pay after their ser vices with the government cease than other ofTichds: who do not receive any larger, and in the case of government, less salary than it now received by the judges, the army and navy officers. The retired list, it is claimed, was a war measure. LOCAL MENTION. The annual meeting of the Union de gree team will be held at 7:30 o'clock this evening at Odd Fellow temple.

Cummiiigs had jeen in ill health for some time, and according-to 13-year-old Tommie roi, who was present, he de liberately set fire o his own house and caused the death of his mother-in-law, his wife and his 1-year-old baby in the flames. The little boy teils a. straightforward story, and when asked how tha fire originated, he feaid: 'Cumming's wa? sitting- ou the edge of the bed in ths rear room where Mrs. CuBiraing also was with the baby.

Sexton gave a vivid description of the scuiile in the rooms above immediately be fore the flames were detected, and confirms, ic inaay resTjcis, the story of the boy who witnessed the dread ful tragedy. "The trouble It at res'ulted in the the tire up there began early Saturday night,"' f-aid Mr. Sexton. 'T heard them swearing up there aLl the even ing.

THE "BLACK TOMAHAWK" IN DIAN LAND TITLE CASE. MAM LEGAL DIFFICULTIES ARIS 1 I r lUuill The Recent Decision of the Interior De partment that the Statu of a Child Dora of an Indiau V o to. a and a White Father Follow the Condition or the Father Likeljr to Flay Havoc Wtasiii?gton, Jan. 1. There is quite serious trouble ahead in regard to the title to our recently acquired Indian lands an empire themselves in ex tent. Tiie development of the diffi culty has been gradual, but the grav ity of the matter is not fully appre ciated, and it is quite probable that the question may come up for action immediately on the reassembling of congress. In fact, just before con gress dispersed for the Christmas hol idays Senator Kyle of South Dakota, December 21, introduced a resolution in the senate which brought out t.ue essential facts of the difficulty. Mr. Kyle's preamble recited that by article 12 of the treaty between the United States and the Sioux Indians it was provided that "no treaty for the cession of any portion or part of the preservation herein described, which may be held in common, shall be of any validity or force against tiie said Indians unless exercised, executed and s gned by three-fourths of all the ahull male Indians occupied or inter ested in the same," and further that the two acts of Congress, Both dated March 2, 1 sgi, entitled 'acts to divide a portion of the Sioux nations of Indians in Dakota into separate reerv:ui .nj ami to assist the Indian title to the remainder, and for other purposes, and the appropriation bill, approved March 2, l.-y'J, s.,ow upon their face tlsat they ".-ere signed by a i, umber of adult Indians of the whole blood, less in number than th three-fourths as provided in the said treaty, and that in order to obtain the necessary three fourths aforesaid divers mixed bloods were solicited, and were permitted to, and did sign, such treat;, made by the oommission on the part of the United States, acting under such acts of con gress (hated as aforesaid, March 2, lss'.. "And, whereas, the secretary of the interior of the United States has de cided, as it is claimed, that divers of the mixed bio .ds who signed as afore said, such treaty made with said com mission, are not Indians in con te mpla tioa of law, and that they and their families are not entitled to any rights or privileges whatever in the lan .1, the secretary of the interior is di rected to transmit to the senate forth with cop es of a il orders, opinions and directions that he has given in respect to the sa.d mixed-bloods, together with copies of all reports, etc., per taining ihereio." All theae legal difficulties have been brought to the front oy the recent de cision of the interior department in wlin t. is known as the 'lilack To ma lum k"' case, that the status of a child bo in i)f an In dian woman and a white father follows the condition of the father. This decision, though involving no new principle of law. has been sus pended because of its far-reaching ef fects. Carried out to its logical con clusion, it would invalidate pretty well all our I ndian treaties. Over 10. ooo.ooo acres were ac-q'u ired underonr treaty agreements with the s-ioux alone, and a large proportion of the signatures to that agreement were ha if breeds who, according to the 15 tack Tomahawk" decision, are now not io be "aduil male I rid ia ns occupy ing or interested" ill the same. The same condition of facts will ap ply to the agreements entered into with Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians in Oklahoma, ceding about .'i.o-io.ooO acres of iatal. It is quite likely that other agreements of former years, and some others of recent date will be af fected bv tiie ruling, and. thereby the titles of settlers who have taken up homes on this land will be impaired. The subject is such a serious one, and so surrounded by embarrassments that it will certainly call for prompt attention. Some enabling act will have to be passed to cju et titles if the "Black Tomahawk" decision is to sta nd. A J-perulator l-Cills Himself. Kansas City, Jan. 1. Stephen A. S.

The Cologne Zeitung publishes full details of the attack upon the Catholic church at Krosche, in the government of Ivevno, by Cossacks last month. This account of the massacre fully confirms the report originally sent out and which afterward was officially denied. The correspondent of the Zeitung adds that the Cossacks were guilty of in credible barbarity and crueity. Xhey lanced and knouted the de fenseless people whom they drove from the churches. Women, as well as men, -were included among their victims. The dead and mutilated were thrown into a lime pit near the church. The sacred ornaments were taken from the ediiice, broken into pieces and thrown into a cesspool. The Cossacks, after this, were allowed to plunder the village. THE DEATH A Supreme .ItiJyie Pierre, S.

STANDING IN LINE. People Who Are Anxious Grasp His Hand. to Washington, Jan. 1 Special. The New Year's reception at the White House starti' up another social season in the national capital. New Year's is a uretit day in Washington. For the first time since the winter of 1KS8-U the common pco pie will have a chance to shake Mr. Cleve land by the hand. Twice a year during a president's term of office the masses kave an opportunity to yet at him. These oc casions are (lie New Year's day reception and the public levee. Tradition has or dained that a president shall in this man ner throw open his doors and bid whoso ever will to coins, As may be imagined, the people need no urging. They arrive at the Whiti House early in the morning and stay as lo:i as they Lave to, which usually is u long time. The crowd is o vast and the line of hnnushakein so slow iu its movement that hours are required to "work off" the whole assemblage. There is ab.vays a great deal of natural and pardonable curiosity to see areal live pres ident of the United States, to shake his hand and look him ia the eye. This year proves no except ion to the rule. In fact, the curiosity is greater than usual, for nearly everyone desires to see how the president looks after all t hese stories about his failing health, and also to huve a look at Mrs. Cleveland, now that nho lus be come a iber matron. The women natu rally wish to see what changes lime has wrought in her and to compare t he im 1 la-r of two tine yirls to the brido of the While House. Besides, there are the wives of the cabi net ministers, who always assist the pres ident and the mistress of Uie, executive mansion at their task. Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Lament and Mrs. (Irishani are knew n here of old, the last named having been in so ciety and assisted at White House func tion when her husband was postmaster general in the Arthur administration. Mrs. Olney, Mrs. Biss.-H and -Mrs. Smith are newcomers, and the masses of people, who have been rending so much in the newspapers about these great ladies, come iu droves to improve their only opportuni ty to see th-.m in full evi niuu costume. A Curiosity satisfied. It" is not to be wondered t that we have big crowds at th-.-e W hite House recep tions. The curiosity to see famous people is a universal trait of hnn.an nature. It is by no meaua conf.ued to people who are not in so'-iety. Half th" f-oeial activity of the capital is based on what might be call ed tuit hunting tiie desire to meet great men and women, to ha ve one's nam" print ed sida by .side wit h theirs in the socicty column.sof the newspapers.

It is great fun for the visitors, hut tiresome work, for the president. After an hour or so the officials of the White House go out, front and Hjze up the crowd. If there is t-tilln great number of people waiting, orders are tivi a to "rush 'em throu.uU."' Then the injunc tion is passed along the 1 i no, and SI ep live!'," "Hurry along there," "Don't stop," are the exclamations frequently heard.

The New Year's caller who has stood tw o hours in line, with aching limbs anil coal feci, is run through the mill so quickly, jL-ets such a tleeticg glimpse of G rover and emerges with so intangible and ehadowy a recollection of having seen, a big man and a row of cloLran'. ly attired women that ho wonders why he was such au idiot as to go to all that trail bit; in order to see each sl dissolving view sort of show. A dob' I.ot. After ail, the people are the show. They are an assortment a job lot. Many of them pre as good people as you would care to know in this world or the next, but for the most part they are unfashionable. They are of all races, white and black, young and old. Five-sixths of them are women. The men do not s-eem to be con sumed by much of this sort of curiosity. Old women wilt take t heir daughters along to help hold them up during t he long wait, and other women will get. off sick beds and ?t and for two hours iu a snowstorm, all for the pleasure of having a hop, skip and jump look at the president and his wife.

SF.ETCH OF THE LEADER OF THE ANTI-TAMMANY MOVEMENT. Inters. ting Career of (Jue of Nw Tori's Foremost Citizen William K. Gra.ce Iu Bosifies and at Home His Life and Pub lic Services. L5-peeial Cor respondence. Xew York, Dec. 2s. It was not nr.til alter he was 4o years of age that William ti. J,' the head and front of th?pies er.t anti-Tammany anti-Hill movement among Xew York Democrats, entered ac tive X'eliticat life. He had already made his fortune and felt that he could there after afford to devote time, money f.ivl evergy to the service of the public. Yv'hen therefore it was proposed to Hm that he should remove from Brooklyn, then his place of residence, to Xew York ai d run for mayor, he accepted the prop osition. The light was one of the most bitter in the annals of this town. Mr. Li race was and is a Catholic and a Demo crat. The Republicans nominated William D wd, president of the Bank of North America find a Protestant, and the re ligion of the two candidates became at 01 ce the live and leading issue in the campaign. Protestants and Catholics were arrived against each other in most hostile fashion, and party- lines, while not ol diterated or forgotten, were for the time largely ignored. IMr. Crace triumphed at the polls seen ring a majority of 3,000 o er his opponent. Xo subsequent mu nicipal election has been won in Xew Y vk by so narrow a margin, nor has this city had a Republican mayor since that time. I.ove. Ovt-re;me All. Mr. Grace is a pronounced Roman Catholic, but he married a Protestant girl. Mrs. Oram was born Gilchrist. II ?r father was a Maine sea captain, and he brought up his daughter in the strict ess Baptist faith. Air. Grace w?s not married until past bo lie was born in 1-32 and married in 1857 or IShs Hw ttcaJii-3 acquainted with Captain Gil- WILLI P.. GfiACE. Christ in Luna. South America, and it wis not until be saw this Yankee ship master's Yankee daughter that he turned his t Ik-nghts toward marriage. Of course 1 he question of religion earno up, but as the young lady was as much in love as the young man it was decided that faith should not .separate timn. Tiieir married life has been ideal. Each hi.s retained the original church con nection, but the children are Cut hoi ic. It was agreed that the question of faith si ot:ld be itev i led by the children tin m eelves, and they have all followed their father. Of the 11 born to Mr. and Mrs. Grace but six are now living. (one daughter is widowed; Joseph, the oldest living son, is in his senior year at Colum bia, college and will probably one day be t';:e head of the commercial business now Conducted by his father; Richard is pre paring for college, i-.iid the others are still st lall. A Chum Wifa His CUitiiren. In his home and among his children Mr. Grace is a boy grown gray. To his beys hi- is like an elder brother. AVith his girls he is chum to whom they can go with all tle-ir troubles and i-rplexi-t'-es, no iiMlt-r how seemingly trivial, sere of us careful consideration as if the matter were an important question in politics or bu-he ss. With them all he hi s his fio.ics, Kiid when a home enter tainment is to be got up he enters into th e airaapfan'ii's with all the ardor of the m. -t yutitiitnl. taking quit e a act ive a part; in home masquerades or the atricals or coma rts as any of the fumiy. Yet for this boyish, fun loving, sympa thetic f i'h'-rthe junior Graces have a LlGSt Ueoided respect. Though his home ruler is conducted v.nth a velvet hand, it is none the --..s thorough. Among the lessons that have been ehVctivi Iy impressed, upon tiie c.dl dren of t his family is the va-kie of money. Toeir father is so well to do in this world's goods hu is said to be five times a millio'iaire) that tht-3 are denied noth ing that will conduce to their comfort ci thtir happ-iu'-ss, but they have been well taught tl.e folly of extravagance and that p.irsimiuiionsiic-'s is as much to be avoided as uu luo lavishue-ss in ex penditure. Mr. Grace has two homes one at Great Xetk, 17. Y,, and the other at the corner of Seventy-ninth street and Lex ir gtoa avenue, near Central park, in Xew York city. He is especially fond cf his country place. The residence was built- fully a certury ago, but has been added to ami remodeled so many times since then that it would scarcely be rec c gnized now by its original owner. It is surrounded by large grounds on which vast amount of time and money and though; have been laid out. the result tieing a complete triumph of the laud 6( ape gardener's art.

His stable cost $:;0.('-00. 6-1.1. there ue Iteeps the choicest of hi.s 0 blooded horses during the cold season. Llr. Grace 1 hi in self an accomplished J A A' horseman. Although Mr. and Mrs. Grace do 1 ot belong to that ultra fash ionable set of New Yorkers wiio are called by the grace of McAllister toe Four Hundred, they are prominent mem bers of society, and their homo is every winter the scene of many "functions'' of note. Yet they are not at all escltisive in the offe isive sense of the term. One need not be rich nor noted to secure the friendship of Mrs. Grace. Much time and attention are devoted by Mrs. Grace to practical charity. Iu business Mr. Grace i3 systematic and, as he expresses it, "without senti ment." The conduct of a commercial enterprise, he holds, must be absolutely old blooded in order to insure success. The house of William R. Grace Co. invariably declines to subscribe to any charitable object, no matter how deserv ing, for its head maintains "this house is in business, not charity." But with William R. Grace the man it is quite another matter. The subscription that may be turned away by the concern may receive the signature of W. R. Grace set opposite figures representing a very sub stantial sum. A great proportion of the money he gives jjasses through the chari table organizations of the Roman Catho lic church, notably the St. Vincent da Paul society, of which he is an officer. Ilis Public Services. Mr. Grace's services as a public oflicial have been confined to his incumbency of the majnralty for two terms. His second term began in ISS'd. when he ran as the anti-Tammany Democratic candi date against 11 ugh Grant. Tammany, and Fred Gibbs, Republican, bis majority being 12,000. But he has been active in politics ever since his entry into the field in ISt'O, and readers of the newspapers have not T rgotren the fact that be headed the "antismipper" movement in the spring of 1 e'J2. which resulted in the de feat, for the time at least, of David B. Hill's aspirations for the presidency, and no doubt contributed materially to Mr. Cleveland's success. For some reason, which Mr. Grace professes rot to understand, he is not at j resent persona grata to the administra tion. Ilis qualities ai an organizer in politics, as in business, are of the highest order, and his friends predict that his movement ngainst Tammany will be a potent fact or next fall, Mr. ti race, bi.ing by birth an Irishman, is naturally great ly interest -d in the home rule movtment nral has in times past contributed liber ally to its cause. In person Mr. Grace is slightly below the medium height. He has the round and sturdy build of a man in excellent health. lie wears a mustache und .goatee, which are furniiig gray. In bis carriage he is erect. Ilis eyes have all the tla-di and fire of youth, and when he talks his words are well chostn and direct.

It Was lettcr for Ducks Thau the 15( st lie trie ver. S pre: it: 1 'crrteioiidencol Xoyac, N. Y,, Dee. 2s A week or two fince I hat pened to be at Xoyac, which is on the Little Peconio bay, and dr j .ped in on some old friends, who kindly in vited me to remain for the kind of old fashioned hirst class dinner peculiar to this dear old out of the way place. "I notice, Sam, that the wild ducks are pretty plentiful already," I said after I had seattd myself. "Do you call them thick?" replied Sam wit h a smile. "Why. there a re not enough yf t to make it worth while going out. There are j ust enough for sportsmen who like to knock around for their health all day. But down here we don't notice them until we can gather them iu las kets." "How in the world do you manage thr.tr" "Well," replied Sam, who is the cham pion duck hunter of Xoyac. "that can only be done when the ducks are very thick. I have seen them so thick that they were standing on the shore thrt e deep in layers. When they are as thick as this, we go out at night and fire a gun off, and then the bucks get panic stricken and tly in every zigzag way you can think of. Of course t hey bunk into each ot ii-'-r r.e.d 1 ots of them fill to th.. ground dead.. Then we send ih--boy out early in the morning wii.li a basket, and he gathers them like mushrooms." I sa w the champion hunter was on his favorite su bject, so sail nothing to turn his thoughts into a did.eret;t chaum -1. "But ili-j hunting is not win.,: it used to bo who.? I was a boy," ivso me 1 ti.e runner as he stroked his mustache and smiled in childish lee. "for I go Lack before breechloaders. Why. at one time the rabbits were so thick around here that they would come into the kitcla n and fail asleep in the rocking chair. You mvi-r saw such tame rabbits. They would go into the hennery, and the little chickens would crawl under thou to get warm. Why, they w. re so tame that I have often sttpp-U on th mi in the dark when going out for a pail of water. But I'll never forget poor old J. Henry Cae sar." "Who was he?" I asked. "My trained snapping turtle. I had him trained to catch wild ducks when I didn't feel well enough to go out." "How in the world did the turtle ever catch the ducks?"' I asked, sorely puz zled at so absurd a thing. "Why, very simply," replied Sam, with a smile of pleasure at my puzzled air. "I simply took old J. Henry Cavar down to the bay and. shouted 'Ducks'.' just as you shout 'Rats!' to a dog, and J. Henry would get under water and keep still. Pretty soon a wild duck would come alon g and sit peaceful and quiet like on the water, and while it was lock ing a rout d enjoying itself J. Henry Cit-sar would rise, without making any fuss or noise, and gra'o that duck by the leg and haul it under till it was drowned, and then fetch it up to the house just Like a retriever." Just then Sam ex cused himself to tell a book agent that he didn't want anything, and I finished my dinner in peace. R. K. Ilti-.iui'naoi r d 1 Cf" j S.

After Divorce, Love Asserted Itself and tiuslii'il Out rride. A secret wedding occurred recently under most unusual circumstances. The most peculiar ftaiture of the strange matrimonial event is that the contract ing 1 arti-a-s had been married to each other nearly 20 years ago and quit a re eently separated by divorce. The groom was John Walsh, one of the best known ami most resnect.-d citizens of Col u tu bus. Tie bride was his former wife, Josephine, who-ie friends are among the oldest and best families of the city. Mr. Walsh is an extensive real estate dealer, and has 1 nig been one of the wealthiest men of the north side. Mr. and Mrs. Wahh ooeupied an elegant home, and their married life until of recent date saiinel 'o "lie all sunshine. Tine public was profoundly surprised i.ast June to hoar that Mrs. Walsh had sued for divorce on the grounds of in compatibility of temper and harsh treat ment. Everyone who knee.- John Waln personally was satisfied that ho was juiltv of no grievous wrong. The fame aeopie, or those-of them who also knew Mrs. Walsh, wc re sure that she had been good and faithful wife. Therefore, it -ocn came to be tuidersttod that Mr. and Mrs. Walsh, because of a, combination of trivial con: rc versies and a mutual desire to avoid further disputes, had agreed to. permanently disagree by sepa rating forever. It was a Very solemn stop, ami it was not 1 a ken hastily. They eau-iden .1 it several weeks while living together bi-in-i-.tli the same roof and in the house both had called home for so many years. Finally, however, Mrs. Walsh took the derisive action, and her suit being uncontested the courts soon did the rtst. She was granted an un conditional decree of divorce and Mr. Walsh generously settled upon her a goodly fchsre of his estate. Mrs. Walsh removed to 1,411 fc'ummit street, while her di vorced bus-band took up Ms resi dence at the Park hotel. It was not hang until both begin to long for the old home, with its cherished memories and its many comforts, but pride stepped in when harsh feeling left, and they remained apart. Mrs. Walsh was perhaps not the greater sufferer of the two, b it the was the ii -st to succumb to the pains of separation. Putting back pride, ehit-rrin everything but the old devotion for her hr.sbjfnd she made the first overture. Sir. Walsh was more slow to forget what he regarded as the trreat injury he had suffered. lie hes itated, and for a time it seemed the di vorce suit would outlive the rekindled tires of aft ev; then. One day Mrs. Walsh carried to her former husband's office deeds for ail the property he had con veyed to her when the separation oc curred. With t h deeds .--he took to him others for all th.: property slue had pos sessed before their marriage, which was of considerable value. iShe gave them to him, and then, standing there practical ly penniless and alone in the world, asked him to take her back to his heart and home. "I ha ve1 made ov er all my property to you. as you will observe by thesedeeds," said ZMrs. Walsh, ''and now I want to again be your loving wife, as of old. If you will not con-eut to a reunion, then I want to die, are! I shall take my own life, leaving' what I had and what you gave me to you." Mr. Walsh thrust back the deeds to the prt'i erty, and in their stead took to his arms the woman whose undying de Votion hatd replaced her upon that ped estal in ni JTi's heart which can be occu pied only by his wife. A marriage li cense wais secured for the second time, and a ceremony duly performed. The affair had ba-cii kept very quiet, and this is the first announcement of the happy finale in the troubles of John and Jo sephine Walsh. Columbus C r. Cin cinnati Enquirer. Vitlue of a "Motlier-m-laAY. The first case on record in which a man has sued for damages sustained by the death of his mother-in-law came up in the s..q trior court of California. One Webb, whose mother-in-law met her death through the defective methods of s.t re et construction employed In the city of Marys vi lie, brought suit against the municipal corp 'ration for damages in the s-utu of s-j.OoO. The case was an un usual one, and tiie trial was lookesl for ward t.i with lively interest by lawyers and others eager to learn what assessable value a man might claim to poss-.-ss ill the person, service and companion.-bip of his mother-in-law. Unfortunately for those who had awaited the trial of the issue, the action was brief an 1 ter minated abruptly. The superior court, r f' 1 1 V If on a demurrer from the defendant, threw the case cut of court, simply ruling that there was no cause of action.
