This is not it picture- from ilegcm-ratr-Paris,
hut nn actunl suno in old New
York. It h. one of the monthly meetings
of the Gnomes- a drinking club of old
Ninth winders-, and held in tho sub
cellar or a fnnioiirf-time drinking pl.no
at tho corner of Fourth and Charles
streets.
It Ik not a new institution this
gathering of sub-nnfaee revelers, with
their ghoulish tastes. For upward of
llfty yearn tho Ahren. father and son,
have kept a drinking place In the little
old Hutch red brick building, and din
ing that time it has been a favorite re
sort for the politicians and nien-about-town
of the old Ninth ward and old
Greenwich village.
This place 1 now kept by Henry
Alliens "Handsome Hnrrj" thoy call
him. It consists of a large barroom,
with a sitting-room in the mir. The
barroom is itself unique. It is a low
ceillnged room with oaken lloor,
which Is kept as clean as scrubbing
brushes can make It. Half a dozeu
handsome rugs cover the lloor. A
(luaintly carved old English settee nnd
three or four comfortable rocking
ehnlrs and a Turkish stool add to the
iniFiiloon-llko aspect of the place.
Two groups of life sized statuary one
a Faith, Hope and Charit. and tho
other a Venus- occupy prominent
places in the loom. They are surround
ed by potted plant and tropical ever
greens.
Tho insldo room I.e a nniFcnm of
curious, Incongruous, yet artistic treas
ures, somn of them rarely intoiostlng.
Tho chief interest in the place, how
ever, lies In the old cobwebby cellar,
or rather in tho banquet room of the
cellar. This Is a littlo room, not mote
than fourteen feet square, walled in
with barrels and casks grimy with dust
and cobwebs. Thick, black webs hang
from the weather-stained rafters, and
where the spiders have failed to string
their nets artificial webs have been
made of pack thread to which papier
mache spiders uu big and ugly as horned
toads cling and wink their glass bead
eyes with looks of devilish ferocity.
Two bats live In the cellar nnd occa
sionally otlr up the dust with their
skinny wings, and skulls grin every

out to a visitor is a cask of Madeiia
wlno which It In claimed In forty years

that tho hoops look as if they were fall
Ing off. Tho cask is never tapped ex
cept on the occasion of a marriage or
birth in tho family, and upon the oc
casion of tho ilve-year unions which the
old Roosters hold. Another old cask

of Its value,, destroyed It. Some per

In a tumulus near the Horit hones

to be of the Scythian period. It lay
on a stone slab with extended arms.
About the neck were four ilnely worked

the wrist a bracelet of pure gold. At

Near the skull wan found a bow case,

The typical speed skater has :i short
body, capacious, loiiiul chest, with well
developed back; his thighs are Mrong
and very long, as are also his legs. Ills
feet are large and Hat. Ills weak points
are his calves, due to the long Hat skato
to which his llatteiicd foot is so closely
bound.
The large muscles of his chest are
not exercised and his arms, held lying
Inly along his buck, are unused except
in an ocacsional spurt, when they nio
bi ought down and swung straight from
the shoulder. They say that they
catch less 'wind that way and that tho
position is restful to the tense exteneors
of the buck. This Is, no doubt, true, but

This type of figure Is seen at its best
in such skaters as tho Donahues, Me

GAID OF WOMAN!
There Is only one real tragedy In a
woman's life; the fact that her past a
ahvayh her lover, and her future in
variably her husband.
In tho case of a woman who dyes her
hair, sex in a challenge, not a defense.
1 think anything bettor than high In
tellectual piossure. It males ? r.oaa
of young girls so very large.
Women who have common sense an
en curiously plain; they always look
like eecond-hand dictionaries.
One should not give a charming wom
an anything she cannot wear in tho
evening.
I want a husband as a background.
I do not ip hid bad husbands. I have
had f.vo; they nnitiEcd mo Immensely.
Do you really think thnt It Is weak to
yield to temptation? I toll you that
there are terrible tcmptatlonu that it
require Ktiength and courage to yield
to.
I never rend a bluo book. I prefer
books with yellow covors: they're more
accurate.
Secrets from other people's wives are
a necessary luxury In modern lifo, but
no man should hnvo a secret from his
own wife. Sho Invariably finds It out.
They can discover everything except
tho obvious.
A woman who can keep a mnn'8 lovo
and love him in return has donu all
wo want of women.
Morality Is bluiply the nttltudo wo
adopt toward pcoplo whom wo person
ally dlallke.
It Is tragic how much our husbands
trust us.
She wore too much rougo tho other
night, and not qulto enough clothes.
That la alvvnyn a sign of despair In a
woman.

Shortly lifter the session opened
Kcpreseiitative Hilt, chairman of the
House committee on Foreign Afiatrfl,
joined Mr. Sherman, chairman of the
Senate committee on Foreign isola
tions, in a whispered conference nt
Sherman's desk. The Ohio senator
announced that the Cuban question
would lie taken up without vvallitig
for the usual expiration of the morn
ing hour at 'i o'clock.
Mr. Allen if Nebraska ashed to
withdraw the resolution for tho np
poliitmciit of Mr. Lluyil as a Senate
otlh-ial. This brought on another dis
cussion us to adding u Populist olbeial
to the rolls. Mr. Allen finally with
drew the resolution.
Mr. Sherman then moved that tho
Cuban resolutions be taken up. and
this pre.valli'd without objection.
Chairman Hilt remained alongside Mr.
Sherman as tin- debate proceeded.
Huron Von Kcltlcr of the (ieruiaii em
bassy occupied a seat in the diplomatic
gallery.
Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky then ail
dresM'd the Senate on the Cuban reso
lutions. He said the conflict In Cuba
was at our very doors and wns being
waged with such desperation that
only one of two results could come
either the complete independence of
Ciilia. on tho one bain!, or the utter
annihilation nf the Cuban people on
the other. The senator salil he ap
proached tho subject from the stand
point of humanity rather than law.
Declarations of sympathy would avail
nothing to tho Cubans. Declarations
that they hail progressed to the stage
of belligerents would avail nothing.

"If the United States intends talcing
nny steps that will avail these strug
gling ( tibaiis, that step should he in
the direction of the ultimate independ
ence of Culm." (lectured Mr. I. utility
in stentorian tones. In the past the
I ntted States had not hesitated to
take the position of recognizing liide
peiideuce under circumstances similar
to theno now existing In Cuba.
(Juotlug from International author
ities, the Senator maintained that :v
condition now existed in Cuba justify
ing the United States in considering a
proposition for activu intervention to
restore public order ami in behalf of
humanity. Hut, said Mr. Lindsay, thu
resolution did not contemplate aetiv.o
intervention. It. extended good ofiiccs
to Spain with a view to securing the
ultimate Independence of Cuba.
"And such independence," added
Mr. Lindsay, 4"s thu only babls which
will bring lasting peace to Cuba,
judged from the experience of seventy
years. The United States could not
relieve itself from the responsibility
of seeing thai Spain showed this
island some kind nf justice. Could wo
say to the world that unless Cuba
secured tier independence by her own
unaided cfi'ortb she miglit lemaiii
under tho abject subjection of Spain?
Should we not say to Spain that some
sort of protection, some sort of jtistico
and liberty eonsilut vitli an en
lightened age must bo ihown to these
people?
"Spain now contemplated tho an
nihilation of nil the able bodied men
of Cuba in order to crush tnis uprising,
Spain owed to ( nba as much as Tur
key owes to Armenia, or as tho United
States to Veneuelu, a duty of protec
tion, and 11 this protection was not
given, then tho point hud benn reached
when thu United Suites should move
for the severance of Cuba from Spain,"
nir. i:i:m:i.b wt:i.i. eii:n..tzr.i.
Atltt'ip. m., Mr. Sherman began
his speech, dosing tho dubnte. Ho
spoko of tho keen sensitiveness of tho
Spanish people anil their tendency to
qulrhiy resent any net they regarded
as Injurious to them. Hut, ho felt
thnt tho tlino hud eomo when the
United States must lnterveuo to put
an end to crime almost beyond de
scription. Tho Senator said he would
not re-enter on tho legal arguments so
fullv covered bv Mr. .Morgan, but lio
reierrcd to several pamphlets present
eel by Mr. F.strada I'alina, the agent
and representative of tho liibmsin
this country. Mr. Sherman said thoso
statements bore the stamp f authen
ticity. They overcame the mlbappru
heuslon that tho Cubans wero seat

showed t lie organ .ation of a legisla

Mr. Galliugcr followed Senator
Sherman with a strong nppcnl for tlm

against nny recognition of Cuban bel
ligerency, declaring the Cuban insur
gents had accomplished nothing to
justify us in this question. He ex
pressed the opinion that the cruelty
accompanying the war was not con
fined to the Spanish iii-iuv.
Mr. Allen followed Mr. Caffory, of
fering the resolution of which he had
given notice previously. iiwn ho
spoke In support. of It, urging Congress
to act Independently of the president
in recognizing belligerency. Ho de
clared Spain an outlaw nation and not t
entitled to tho respect and consilium-'
lion of other clvili?etl nations. The
time, he said, must speedily come
when the bloody hand of Spain must
be wrested from Cuba's throat. He.
declared himself favorable to Cuban
independence ami would, if need be,
support this action wi'.n the American
arms.

W.vmii.S'Otov, Feb. 20 The remark
able speech of Mr. Carter In the Sen
ate, taken In connection with that of
Sr-r rotary Carlisle at the Manhattan
club in New York a few days ago, has
started a good deal of talk about a re
organization of the old political par
ties ami a division of the people upon
new lines, lloth the ISepublicans and
the Democrats seem almost hopelessly
divided upon thu same isuc, and that)
the most important before the Ameri
can pcoplo to-day. Tho parties nro
united upon every other. More
than h-ilf the Democrats In (.'on
gress declare that they will not
support the candidate to be nomi
nated at Chicago unless lie pledges
hlm-.clf to free coinage A considera
ble pot Hon of tlie Republicans say the
same concerning the candidate to bo
nominated at St. Louis. Then why, il
Is asked, cannot those in botli parties
who think- ulllco get together and
inline men who agree with them? A
great many people bellevo that if dls
cusiion ami division continues much
longer that will happen. Secretary
Morton suggested such an expectation
upon his part in a newspaper inter
view not long ago, and there ;uo
those who claim to have heard the
Pi esident predict a general break jip
and reo ganizatlon before the end of
this administration, but it is not likely
that there will bo any bolting from
either party until after the national
conventions arc held and the platforms
are adopted.
Thu lSepubllcan leaders do not ex
pect any bolt. Koth Mr. Teller and
Mr. Carter, who announced the terms
of the silver Senators, declare that
they will not leave the lSepubllcan
party, and that they cannot bo driven
out no matter who Is nominated.
"I am a lSepubllcan anil I always
expect to bo a IScptiblican," said Mr.
Teller. "1 urn just as good a Uupitb
loin as .John Sherman or George F.
Hoar, and thero Is just as much prob
ability of their leaving the party as
there is of my leaving it, I have said
that 1 will not support the lSepubllcan
candidate for the presidency unless
we can make (foiuo satisfactory agree
ment on iho silver question. I think
that agreement can bo made, but If it
is found itupoisiole, I wilt still con
tinue to bo a Republican. I do not
intend to vote the Democratic ticket,
no matter wlio Is nominated on cither
side."
Senator Carter says: "We aro go
ill'.' to get together bofore tho St.
I, mils convention. The sliver men in
the West are not going to bolt tho
lSepubllcan party. Thero are many
oilier issues upon wb'.eh we all agree,
ami thoy would hold us lofcthcr, no
matter how much wo might differ on
tho monoy question. Nevertheless,
wo Western fellows Intend to hnvo
totucthing towiy ubout tho, manage
ment and tho peilluyof the Qarty. Wo
don't propose to let New Kngland and
New York lead us around by the
UOaC."
