So we-all who ishinglion my - have been bothering our noddles about the matter will just luive to let It gent nt that. Senator Timothy D. Sullivan , who IB bolter known an "Ulg Tim , " has prepared - pared for his annual February dlstrl- bntlon of shoeH among his constitu ents by ordering 5,000 pairs from n IMnghnmton factory. "Dig Tim" hns specified the best quality of leather and workmanship in Oiling his con tract nnd the footgear that will soon bo distributed among the poor of the oust side will bo waterproof , durable nnd of a It hid usually retailing for $4. For many years "lllg Tim" has made it a custom to distribute several thou sand pairs of shoos on n certain date in February , which Is rumored to bo the anniversary of some important event in his life. Exactly what it is that is thus so munificently commem orated , nobody knows but Me. Sulli van , and he has neglected to explain. On board the Kronprlnz which is now nearlng New York , is Count Albert Apponyi , formerly Hun gary's minister of public instruction , who is coining to this country to advance - vance the cause of International peace. Ho will bo the principal speaker at a great pcaco meeting in Carnegie hall , February 1C , taking for his subject , "Somo Practical Difficulties of the Peace Problem In Europe. " Several other distinguished Hungarians arc in the party. All reports to the contrary notwith standing , Julius Caesar Is still very much alive. Ho arrived in Now York recently from Germany , and on a mis- sionx of conquest , although a purely commercial one. Julius now owns a wall paper factory near Cologne , Ger many , nnd will visit various American cities to get acquainted with his cus tomers , present and prospective. Dry goods merchants who have visit ed the city within the last few weeks have placed exceptionally liberal or ders with the Jobbers and manufactur ers. Practically every merchant and buyer interviewed has stated that busi ness prospects are excellent , and near ly all have commented on the higher grades of goods now demanded by their customers. Cheap and shoddy merchandise now llnds no purchasers , and , in the dry goods trade , the de mand is now all for the better grades of fabrics. One of New York's most distinguish ed citizens , John Mitchell , the labor leader , is today celebrating his forty- first birthday. As vice president of Mho , American Federation of Labor , and chairman of the trade agreement department of the National Civic Fed eration , Sir. Siitchell now finds it nee- oa ary to spend most of his time in the metropolis. His home , however , is at Wount Vernon , a pretty little suburban city just beyond the north ern city limits , but practically a part f > t New York.

The annual number of accidents of all kinds to workmen , ho says , is over 2,000,000. Compared with the number of men employed in In dustries , three times as many are an nually killed in this country as in any country In Europe. Although the actual anniversary was yesterday , the observance of the ceiv tonnial of the birth of Horace Gree ley will continue throughout the month. In order that school children and their parents , as well , may be come familiar with the career , the aims and the ideals , of the great jour nallst , a series of public lectures ir the city schools has been arranged and will continue through February Greele > 's greatest monument is , o course , the New York Tribune , whlcl will reach the mature ago of three score years nnd ten during the present ent year , having been established bj Greeley in April. 1841. At that Unit .Mr. Greeley announced the policy o the Tribune as "devoted to 'tho Inter ests of labor , to liberal sentiment ! nnd generous purposes , to temperanc < in all things , to inflexible morallt ; and to the exposition and defence o the principles of a beneficent am wise national policy.

" To this Inquiry a little girl responded , "I go just about an often as my mother will let me. " About once a week was the average for enjoying such delights. Among the boys , there wns expressed a do- elded preference for picture plays dealing with cowboys nnd Indians. From thin It IB to be derived that , al though Mr. Ileadlean d the flourishing dime-novel Industry ho founded are nllko dead , the Interest In "wild west" exploits continues keen among the youthful population. The dramatic tastes of the girls , however , were not do definitely expressed. Few of the girls exhibited any marked prefer ences. On the whole , hpwever , the feminine critics agreed with the 10- year-old young lady who said she liked sad ones and funny ones.

The practical application of the above reflections is tbnt bathing has a wide range of usefulness aside from its cleansing effect Every self respecting American citizen desires to bo clean and will bathe for that purpose more or less frequently , but the mistake should not bo made of looking upon the bath simply as a cleansing proc ess. Possibly for the reasons suggest ed above the mere contact with water stimulates and invigorates the body entirely apart from the Influence of : cinpcrnturc and the removal of dirt. Warm water and pure soap are con sidered the essentials for a cleansing bath , but a cold bath , followed by vig orous rubbing , will accomplish nil that s really necessary for cleanliness. Dangers of Warm Bathing. The vast amount of supposed dirt removed by the Turkish bath is most ly epithelial scales from the various layers of skin. To remove an excessive amount of this scarf skin may impair ts protective qualities ; hence the ad visability of not tnkiug the Turkish or Russian bath oftcncr than once a week. However , the warm bath gives n greater feeling of confidence in one's cleanliness than the cold bath nud is doubtless beneficial if not employed too often and to the exclusion of the more valuable and tonic cold bath. It is u good plan to spray or sponge the neck and chest with cold water after finishing the warm , cleansing bath. This precaution should always bo taken by those who rely solely on the warm bath , especially if they bathe every day ; otherwise undue sus ceptibility to colds may develop. As a rule , the warm bath should bo taken In the evening. Most people who have employed the cold shower or plunge will testify to its delightful and invigorating effects , but there is no reason why it should bo forced upon delicate children or feeble adults. Baths For Babies. A daily bath for the young baby is of the utmost Importance. At Drst the temperature of the water should bo 00 degrees F. , but by the end of the flrst month it may be reduced to 70 de grees F. When the child reaches eighteen months a cold sponge may bo given as a finish to the warm bath. Delicate children who have not been thus trained may bo-gradually Inured to the cold bath and enjoy Its benefits if caution is used. For such children the temperature of the water should bo warm or tepid at first nnd dally reduced - duced until it Is obvious that a vigor ous and healthy reaction will not fol low n further reduction. It Is really dangerous , not to say cruel , for obstinate-nurses or parents to force an anaemic child with a pool circulation to take a cold bath from which It Is physically incapable of reacting acting- Very often the cold shower or sponge bath Is well borne if one stands In n tub of warm water Value of the Cold Bath. The cold bath is n most valuable nerv DUB nnd circulatory stimulant When well borne It Improves the circulation not only in the skin , but in the remot cst recesses of the vital organs. The cold bath trains the nerve ccn ters that control the production oi body heat and those that control tb ( blood vessels In such a way that thi Nystem H fortified against exposure find draft * An earnest effort , there- fmc. should be made to accustom otic- self to this \alunble Ionic and protec- I himeasure. . llnrrlim physical disability , no one cull ntiei unlld excuse for neglecting tin- dalllintli A tin tub , n Jug of water , -punia1 and a course towel Kiillli < > tni n hath quite ns refreshing IIH loind hiimd In llu * luxurious balls of ( .

The lee cold liath la to be avoided by those suffering from heart or kidney trouble or rheumatism , but such sub JectH may Mill enjoy a daily tepid bath , especially If It Is followed by n vigorous rubbing of the skin with n coarse towel. Also these subjects may harden themselves against colds by lightly sponging the neck nnd chest with cool water. The best time for the cold bath Is before breakfast. Following the bath , vigorous rubbing with n coarse towel nnd a few exercises adapted to the strength and endurance of the Individ ual are advisable. A very valuable measure In cases of nervous exhaustion nnd occasion ally In cases ot Insomnia Is the drip sheet Imih. employed its follows : The patient , stripped , should stand In n tub of warm water. A sheet dip ped in cool or tepid water , the temper ature depending upon the ability of the subject to react , Is then wrapped around him from head to foot. Brisk friction of body and limbs Is applied by an attendant , and the patient him self may rub the front of his body. Except on the advice of a physician such a bath should last but n few mo ments , and then the bather should be put to bed. Bathing In Fevers. When typhoid fever , pneumonia or other serious Illness exists the ques tion of cold bathing must be left to he attending physlchui. In n mild 'everlsh condition much comfort will ) e afforded the patient by cool spoug- ng. Even sponging with tepid water will reduce the temperature and allay lervous excitement The sponge should lot be "sopping" wet , but only wet enough to leave a light Olm of water on the skin. The nightly hot foot bath is a valu able restorative measure , especially In nlddlo life and old age. It promotes healthful , restful sleep and relaxes and refreshes the congested nnd tired brain. After taking a hot foot bath the bather should go to be'd at once and compose himself to rest before the ef- 'ects of the bath pass away. No at- cmpt should be made to Induce n per spiration when the bath is taken for ts sedative and restorative effects. The value of a hot foot bath In check- ng n common cold is well known , but HOT FOOT BATH TO OOnn COLD. this measure Is not employed ns frc- nucntly ns It should be. It is an ex tremely valuable remedy In the early Binges of a cold , especially if the pa tient is wrapped In heavy blankets while taking the bath and its action assisted by some simple hot drink , Biich as llaxsecd tea , lemonade , etc. , with a view to Inducing a profuse per spiration. Value of Hydroth'erapy. The other applications of water , massage , etc. , In disease come within the province of the attending physi cian , nnd his judgment must bo exer cised In each Individual case. Wo be lieve that such remedies are not em ployed as frequently ns they should be. The failure to use them results not from lack of knowledge on the part of physicians , but because it Is difllcult to carry out such measures in the ordinary household without em ploying skilled nurses. The average patient prefers to swallow a few pills rather tlmn put himself to any Incon venience. This explains the resort to BO many Irregular lines of treatment when drugs have failed to effect a cute. Wreck on Boston and Maine. Potersboro , N. II. , Feb. 4.

NEW YORK DRAMATIC LETTER. New York , Feb. 4. Victor Herbert , composer of "Naughty Marietta , " playIng - Ing nt the New York theater , is 52 years old. Ilo celebrated on Thursday and his office still looks like the spring exhibition of rare plants and flowers up at the Botanical gardens. It is certain that during the entire eight weeks of her engagement at the Knickerbocker theater , Miss Maude Adams In "Chantecler" will play to S. R. P. Perhaps a greater sensation was never created in Now York than this wonderful play of Rostand's. The critics disagree regarding its merits , but nil agree that It is n masterpiece of philosophy. Miss Adams is , of course , superb In her role. Otis Skinner in his new comedy 'Sire" ' at the Criterion thenter , hns a piny that gives him splendid oppor tunities to display his talents. The plot deals with the mysterious career of the lost Dauphin of France , but no attempt Is made In the play to clear up 'this great hysterical mystery. "Tho Slim Princess" has proved such a success , with Miss Elsie Janls In the lending role , suportcd by Joseph Cawthorn , that It is very probable that Miss Janls will finish the season nt the Globe. Miss Jnnis' Imitations of famous people are unusually clover and the one of Bernhardt never falls to score a hit. Edmund Brecso in "Tho Scarecrow" enters his fourth week nt the Garrick theater next Monday night. The star has won many friends by his clever chnracterizntion of the Devil , and is ably supported by Frnnk Relcher ns the Scarecrow , Alice Fischer ns the Witch nnd the other players in the company. "The Fnun" in which William Fnver- sham is appearing at Daly's theater has proved a distinct novelty. Mr. Faversham Impersonates n faun a creature of the woods and fields. lie Is captured while disporting himself In a fountain nnd introduced into pres ent day life with many ludicrous and surprising results. The repertoire at the New Theater this wel-k Includes "Tho Piper" and Vanity Fair. " The Piper , of course , takes precedence over Thackery's play in Interest , for it is the production of nn American woman , Mrs. Penbody , who won the ? 1GOO Shnkespenre thea ter prize in London , and had its first American presentation this week at the New Theater.

" with Truly Shattuck nnd J. McCloskey in the principal parts , nnd the finish is not in sight Miss nillie Uurke , whose beauty and charm have gained a following among theatergoers , hns entered upon the second month of her engagement at the Lyceum thenter. In her new piny , "Suznnna , " a comedy of Belgian life , she plays the part of n daughter of an amusing old brewer , who finds that she can succeed In doing anything she wants to through her sunny tempera ment. The genius of public entertainment possessed by George M. Cohan Is ro- venled at its best in his comedy of business , "Get Riclt Quick Walling- ford , " at the Gaiety. The young dra matist is logical in his story. His crooks turn honest because it Is the best policy financially and they are loynl to the women In the case be cause It Is the most convenient thing to be. Preparations are being made to celebrate - brate the 200th performance of "Baby Mine" next Monday evening. Mar- saret Mayo's famous farce seems to hnvo found a warmer welcome than over in Its now quarters nt Nazlmova's theater. Miss Ethel Barrymoro has entered the second month of her engagement at the Empire theater in "Trelawney of The 'Wells. ' " None of Pinero's characters have quite so strong nnd appealing a hold ns this Impulsive , gypsyliko girl of the stage. At the Hoppodromo the circus of twelve nets nnd the three spectacles are drawing crowds twice dally that are a puzzle to any but the real New Yorker. Visitors to the metropolis can not realize where the people como from to fill such an immense house as the HIppodrome two times a day dur ing an entire season. "Pomander Walk , " at Wallack's is a refutation of the theory that a clean play is not a box oflico success. The picturesque scenery is ono of the main features of an all-around good piny. At the Plaza Music Hall , Corse Pay- ton and his company are presenting "Lend Mo Flvo Shillings , " Mr. Paytou appearing as Mr. Goliglitly. It is re markable to note that Nut Goodwin who Is making his flrst venture into vaudeville is also presenting the same piece on n rival circuit. The twenty-two act at the American Music Hall is headed by Marlotto Oily , the dramatic star , who presents "He- lone , " by Henri Bernstein.
