Blandest Jmy Oonld, the Tiro Fields and Banwell Sitt-Vomen't Ways Funny I Ways or the Absent Minded A Pecul iar Physical Effect Some of the best known men in town have tedded preferences and characteristic ways when they get aboard a train. Gen. Grant always used to try to get the first seat in the first car, and he would sit watching the engi neer with the utmost interest. Some of his friends thought that he took that seat to escape staring eyes, but it wasn't so. for be once said that it seemed marvelous to him how an engineer could, by just a little touch that called for no appareut exertion, control a traiu so quickly, and he liked to watch him doit. When Jay Gould takes a train, as he very often does, he iinks into the first vacant seat be sees, and seems as diffident and shy as a young lover. He must know that men are constantly pointing him out to one another, bat he appear never to notice it. His son frequently ride with him, but thoysay but little to each other. Mr. Gould always seems to be in a brown study, and no one would think that he notices anything that is going on. But the traiu men now know that he sees everything, and makes a mental note of such things as bethinks worth suggesting to Mr. Haiti. He always has a pleasant word for such train men as he knows. DAVID DCDLEV FIELD. David Dudley Field seems never to tire of looking out at the rapidly changing panorama of front windows. He frequently will ride down town or up town, for he walks one way each day, without taking his eyes from the outside spectacle. Cyrus W. Field, on the other hand, always looks through ttie car to aeoif there K any one on board whom be knows. He usually finds some one, and then talks in his voluble, earnest and sometimes impassioned maimer. Everybody with whom Mr. Field talks seems to be greatly interested, for he is one of the few men who talk much, rapidly and earnestly, who does not bore. Russell Sago, on the other hand, who can tump, in excited momenta, the expertest stenographer, devotes his fifteen minutes on be derated to the daily papers. Sage reads the mat ket reports through, glances with the quick eye of an exchange reader at the head lines of the uows items, runs over the editor ial page like a toboggan on a chute, and then dashes the paper nervously on the floor. He frequently thus goes through three or four papers on a trip, and the conductor on his ear usually gets the daily papers for nothing. Nine wotiimi out of ten sit on the edge of the seat, as though getting ready to jump in case anything happens, and you can always tell the first time anybody is riding by the straineJ, frightened look he assumes, and his nervous clutching at the seat railing. Ele vated trains are seldom used for pleasure trips. Everybody who ride has some busi ness in view or home to reach at the terminus, but there was one couple who rode from Har lem to the Battery for pleasure. A young fellow who hab a small truck farm near Tre mont was married, and he wanted to take a little honeymoon. He couldn't spare the time to go to Coney island, and he hadn't been be low Harlem bridge, nor bad his bride, for some years. Neither of thein had ever seen the elevated road, and so they decided to take their wedding trip on it. After they were married they drove to Harlem bridge and there took the train to the Battery. They wandered around awhile, went to a restaurant and had some oysters, and then returned, content and delighted. That trip meant as much for them as Niagara or Washington does for others, and it cost lew. than a dollar. Gatemen have often funny experiences with absent minded persons. At the Park place station not long ago a man bought a ticket and received some change. He had a newly lighted cigar between his fingers. As he passed through the gate he threw the cigar into the ticket box, the change into the spit toon, and put the ticket bet w een bis lips. The gateman first thought he was drunk or crazy, and he spoke sharply to the man. It was a perfect case of absent miudedness. The man when spoken to started as though awakened from sleep, and was both mortified and as tonished when the gateman pointed to the smoking stump in the ticket box and to the ticket between his lips. Then the change was fished out of the spittoon. He had in tended, of course, to toss the cigar away, put the ticket in the box and the change in his pocket. I shall walk off the dock yet," he said, "and think I am on the way to my office.'' A PECULIAR EFFECT. A peculiar effect of riding on the elevated which trainmen have noticed is that it seems to neutralize the effect of alcoholic stimulant; Not of course, in every case, but in very many. Many times men havo boarded the train with wobbling legs and head, so far gone as to make it doubtful whether they should be permitted to ride, but the employes say that in nine cases out of ten a ride, say from the Battery to Fifty-ninth street, will straighten a man out as thoroughly as a cold bower bath, and men who could hardly walk when they boarded the train often get up and leave the car -without any visible ef fect of their potations in their walk. There is one effect which the employes aways dread, and that is the motion of the train always tends to put a man with any alcohol in him to sleep. If they get thoroughly asleep, which the conductors try not to per mit, the awakening is generally a great nuis ancenot because the sleepy one is ugly, but because he is very tired. Nor s this restora tive effect of riding on the endless bridge unknown to others than the employes. A very well known man, formerly a politician of much influence, always makes it a point, when be has dined too well, to go to the near est station on the elevated, take a seat in the corner of the car, rest his chin on his bosom, and sleep. In half an hour, he says, he is as fresh as when be awakes in the morning. Employes say that life on the road bos one curious effect upon their bodies. It makes flesh, especially in the abdominal tegion. As one gateman put it, the living skeleton him self would get fat here, if he stayed a year. Many of the employes when they began ser vice were slender men, but those who have been any length of time on the road, either at the station or on the trains, find themselves gaining flesh. It is their belief that the con stant jarring and vibration is the cause of this, and as railway engineers almost invari ably grow stout, there is probably some truth in it. One of the mo-t trying incidents of life on the elevated is the attempt to eat Many of the employes have to snatch their meals be tween stations, and it is a wonder it doesn't make them all dyspeptics. I was riding up one evening, after the rush was over, from Rector street, and the brakeman, as soon as we started, opened his basket. He was a man of some humor, and be said to me, "Now for a fever and ague supper. It gives me the shakes to eat it, but it's either eat now or go hungry till midnight." New York Sun. SCENERY IN COLORADO. Rocky Heizhts, Treeless Mountains and Adobe Settlements A Znnl Village. There is no occasion to describe in detail the scenery along a route which is traveled by hundreds daiU, and which has often been portrayed by abler pens than mine. It was all very new and strange to our eastern eyes. In Colorado wo saw a rocky height sur mounted by a great castle at least this illusion seemed almost perfect. Climbing Raton pass was like visiting another planet, all was so novel. Then followed in swift succession strange looking, treeless moun tains, Mexican settlements with their adobe houses, as we descended into wide grassy plains called uvegas. At the point where the road passes near the Arkansas river the cattle seem innumerable. Vast herds were cropping the "bunch grass" on every side un til the animals became mere dots in the dis tance. The genuine cowboy was to be seen at the stations and his revolver was conspicu ous. Far to the right we caught glimpses of Pike's Peak, and further on still was a vast range of snowy mountains, which iu the dis tance gave a vivid impression of a marble city. Again, the marvelous volcanic forma tions of rock, red as blood, would approach near our line of travel. In a sheer precipice of great height, stretching beyond the range of vision, we saw the Palisades of the Hud son; then an enormous fort with its bastions would appear; next a brick warehouse that Blight shelter the merchandise of a state. At on time we all exclaimed at the illusion of a grand cathedral, with its Gothic entrance M batti i J walk. - My chief regret was that we had to pass in the night so much that was as unramiliar as if it belonged to another planet The desire to leave the train at some points and examine at leisure various objects of interest wan al most irresistible. It was fairly exasperating to be whirled by a Zuni Indian village, for the wish to see one's self the strange homes and stranger life within them was strong in deed. Canyon Diablo has been well termed "that hideous crack in the face of the world." It is a thing to come hack to one again in a nightmare. Indeed for a long time the whole visage of nature had borne the imprint of spent, yet fiery, passion, the terrible traces of which kindly time can never remove. It was pleasant, indeed, after leaving the infernal looking canyon far liehind to enter the fine forests near Flagstaff, to see the young moon creating the familiar lights and shadows upon the snow, and, above all, to catch the home gleam from cottage windows. E. P. Roe in Inter Ocean. Almee and the Bracelet. "People in this business ofteu witness strange occurrences," said a clerk at out ut the prominent Broadway jewelry stores. -For instance, when Aimee was at the height of her popularity here, some of the presents sent her were fit gifts for queen. One day 1 showed Aimee and a friend of hers a diamond bracelet that took Mine. Aimee'seyes at once. It was not that the diamonds were large, but because they were exqusitely set We had received it that day from Europe." '"What is the price of thatT asked Aimee. "I told her it was tl.'JOU. She looked at it a long time and then they went away." "A week after that Aimee came into the store alone. She asked to see the bracelrt again and I showed it to her. Shu held it up in her dainty fingers and seemed fascinated by it" "Won't you sell it for less than $l,2U0r she asked; "it seems to me that is rather high.'' "I assured her that the price was very low, which it was. She hesitated for several min utes, and then, with a shrug of her pretty shoulders, she said: "My friend says be will buy it for me if he can get it for 61,000. If I pay you the 300 difference will you tell him that the price has been reduced to $l,(XX)r "I told her that would be satisfactory to the firm, and with a sigh 6he took out her pocket book and banded me two brand new $100 notes. The next day the gentleman called, accompanied by another friend, and asked for the bracelet" "Very handsome," said the friend. "Did I understand you intended it for Aimee?" "Yes, I promised it to her." "H'm!' said his coniiianiou. "It bcenis to me that bracelet would look much better on your wife's arm. "The other seemed struck by this remark and bis brons contracted. He struggled with" himself for a while and then he said quietly: "You're right, old loy." . "The bracelet was sent to his wife said Aimee was out $300. I never heard what she said about her loss." New York World. He Strnrk It Klrb. A miner in Leodville, Colo., who can neither read nor write, is worth to-day at least $3,000,000. Four years ago he hadn't a penny, except what he earned from day to day as a miner. His name is John L. Mor rissey. Ho is about 32 years old. The Crow n Point mine, like Tom Bowen's Golconda, was just about paying expenses. Her owners of fered to sell her for $40,000. Morrissey went to Chicago and interested Diamond Joe Rey nolds in the matter. Reynolds knew that Morrissey was an authority on mining, even if be couldn't write his name. He finally pur chased the Crown Point, agreeing to give Morrissey half interest after the original sum was repaid. Within thirty days they struck a vein of first class ore that has yielded them a monthly income of $18,000 apiece. Thero is said to be $5,000,000 worth of ore in sight. Detroit Free Press. Lincoln and the Londoner. A witty retort sometimes answers quite as well as a long argument There arc some things not easy to explain, and no better an swer could have I teen made to the English man criticising our social customs than that Blade by Mr. Lincoln: "You see, sir. there Ls a tremendous differ ince between the English customs and the American. For example, no gentleman in England,1 remarked the Londoner, "would ever think of blacking bis own boots, don't you know." "Wouldn't he!" inquired Mr. Lincoln, thoughtfully. "Why, whose 'would he black?" Youth's Companion. An Actress Secret. One often hears of the "actress' art," mean ing the art of preserving one's personal ap pearance. No woman in the country can look at Maggie Mitchell and say that she is not well preserved. She is, well, beyond o0; yet her arm is as plump, her bust as full, and her animation as great as twenty-five years ago. Why; Because as Miss Mitchell says, she never had a care iu her life. Her mode of life has always Iieen exemplary in its reg ularity and simplicity, and she has never known the effects of late hours or the wear ing fatigue of receptions, as they are known to society women. Under present conditions Maggie Mitchell, ten years hence, will be as lively and vivacious as she is now. Pioneer Press. Gen. Dorbin Ward's Sword. In his will the late Gen. Durbin Ward gave to his niece, Ella Ward, the jewel mount d sword which had been presented to him by the privates of his old regiment He enjoins her that she shall "deliver it to her eldest son, should she ever be blessed with one, and if he should die, to the next oldest in succession, and with it the charge never to draw it in a bad cause, and to never leave it sheathed should a good one require its aid, and com mand him also to send it down to posterity to the eldest sou in the direct line so long as any Ward blood can wield a sword, until that blessed time shall come when all swords shall be beaten into ploughshares." New York Sun. Chinese in California. E en now. when much of this old lawless element has been cleared out, the Chinese here cannot be taken as fair types of their race any more than the wretched Hungarians and Italians landed under contract at Castle Gar den can bo said to represent the people of Kossuth and Mazzini. They are the stum of the nation, because emigration is something that the well born Chinese looks upon in the same light as the Irishman of good family. It means expatriation, and among people like the Chinese, who make veneration for ancestors a part of their religion, it is re-sort'-d to only when the old country denies them safety or support. George H. Fitch in the CosmoX)litau. Don't Try on Clothes. "I have quit trying on clothes at my tailor's," spoke most decidedly a gentleman of fashion. "It's time lost The best way is to try on the suit after it is finished, then whatever alterations ought to be made can be made to a certainty. As it is now you are measured all over, then you goto try on the suit while it is basted, but ten chances to one when it is made up it doesnt fit any better than if you had never lost your time trying it on. Tell your tailor you wui't try on your suit, and my word for it you'll bo the gainer." Philadelphia Call. The Alligator. The alligator feeds on fish and flesh of every sort, and it is not on record that be has any particular choice.

There are said to be several cures for the bite of an alligator, but no one has ever yet had a chance to try any of them. He is supposed to live for 50 or CO years, and to grow meaner and uglier every year of his life. Detroit Free Press. Oak Has Disadvantages. Said the observant builder: "I notice that the oaken wood work in the Buffalo library is suffering from the heat to which it k subjected. The oak panels in the postofflcs building show the same effects, though not as remarkably as the library. Oak makes an elegant finish, but it is hard wood to season and takes years in the process.

Ken Who Are tn be lfeaad In Kvery Clahaanse The Growler, the Gasslper aad the Newspaper Fleas' Other Queer Ones. The idiosyncrasies of members form comical phase to club life. A prominent type is the constitutional "growler," and his oppo site the easy going, good natured man who is delighted with everything. Generally grow lers are the most numerous. They are never satisfied with anything, though while com plaining they never sucgest remedy. The "growler" never makes any allowance for mistakes or accidents. His chief grievance concerns the waiters, who are slow, careless, stupid. His orders are always filled contrary to his directions, yet investigation reveals that if there was any carelessness it was bis, own in not giving explicit instrnctioaa. He can always get everything be want much better and cheaper outside of the club. He continually threatens to resign, but never does. He regularly predicts the decline and dissolution of the club. He soon alienates the fraternal esteem of the better class of mem bers, and the others quietly make a butt of him, and he takes their good humored defer ence to his sadly ventilated ideas. as an evi dence of his popularity and importance. Of course they are only "guying" him, as Adonis would say. The good natured apologist k an offset to the growler, and at the same time as much of a common nuisance, as he always sounds the same indiscriminate praises, and only needs an audience to deliver a little oration on this or that subject that happens to be under dis cussion. In his opinion the club is the best and pleasantest in the world. The gossiper or chatterbox is, of course, found in the clulks. but he is more speedily extinguished in the little community than in the village by a general censure. As long as he confines him self to detailing the scandals in other dubs or of society be generally has a following whom be amuses and interests by bis recitals, which are invariably inaccurate. His tendency, however, leads him to recur to jocular scenes in the club which by tacit consent all the participants seek to keep private, and so he involves himself in explanations which gen erally result in hie reform arous prudential motives or hk resignation because be has moro enemies than friends in the club. When he contracts the nngentlemaaly and knavish habit of overhearing conversations and after ward alluding to the subject be wears a rope w hich soon figuratively hangs him. "THE NEWSPAPER FIBSD." There is also the "newspaper flend," who selfishly gathers all the papers or latest maga zines about him. The disputatious member, who always disagrees, k soon so emphatically "-sat down upon" that he subsides. The man who seeks to back all of his assertions or to settle all questions by bets k generally en trapped by the sportive, jocular element, so that he soon learns wisdom and prudence. The membership may lie divided into three classes, the sedate, the conventional, and the progressive in the younger clubs, and into two iu the more orthodox clubs, the conser vative and the progressive. As a rule mem bers frequent their clubs for social recrea tion, to commune with their friends therein, to read the papers or magazines, to while away the time in the billiard or card room, and each develops an individuality that is soon recognized, so that it is safe to predict just what chair he will occudv, what course be will take on coming in, whether he will seek the seclusion of the library or the "life" of the billiard room, which k generally the liveliest place in the club. The various coteries of the little community always offer association. These coteries are dull or vivacious according to their personality. There is always a circle about the raconteur. In the clubs where there are pianos there Ls generally singing and playing in the evening. The piano is not permitted in the orthodox clubs. It savors of the concert ball. There is of ten some very good playing ami singing at these impromptu musicales. The choruses are especially stirring. For the time the musical coterie rules, but they seldom liecome objectionable, unless to the chronic growler. The accommodations enable each coterie to keep to themselves if so disposed that is, those who wish quiet can secure it in the library or parlors. There k generally a com mon resort, and there the piano k generally situated, and hquid refreshments are served. General goodfellowship prevails here. The stories are told for the edification of alL The conventional nndertone of general conversa tion is not observed. Every one talks pro bono publico, or at all events thinks be does. If there is any musical talent it Ls developed. Everybody is pleased at the informal gather ing except the growler. He k unceremoni ouslv mode the butt of the crowd. THE MAN OF MUCH HAIU There is oue other member who always re ceives a good natured shot from all whom he offends. He k the one who has so large a mail that the box bearing hk initiate k al ways crowded with his letters. As a rule, the mail in a club k comparatively light con sidering the membership, as only the limited number of frequenting members have their letters addressed there. The letter fiend k the companion of the newspaper fiend. He k generally a retired business man, and not a literary member, as might be supposed. Not withstanding the check system-there k al ways some good natured dispute about ex changed hats and umbrellas, and once in a while the overcoats get mixed generally after delivery and strange documents are found in the pockets the next morning. The near sighted men do not make the absurd mistakes that are generally attributed to them, but they contribute their quota to the general amusement by their unconscious blundering. The men with bad memories for names and faces create more trouble. They always get everything wrong. They often cause much confusion by their mistakes. The married men are the steadiest attendants outside of the habitues. It k calculated that during the first year of married bliss nothing will be seen of the member, but after that he comes around again, and k once more one of the boys. Thk, however, k a legend. The prac tical joker does not flourish m the club as in the community at large because hk range is comparatively limited. He k soon found out and avoided. Another amusing phase of club life k the comical tendencies of some in chipping to gether and ordering meals. The figuring of these to reduce their expenses border on the absurd. The miser k, of course, not found in the dub. The spendthrift generally runs hk limit and gets posted.' The lesson does him good. If he k incorrigible he k soon dropped for uon payment The uninitiated either be lieve the club to be a resort of riotous living or a slow and dull resort, attractive only be caase it k exdusive; but it k neither a little community with a common cause, with the usual types of character, excepting the de praved. New York Times. Stanford aad Stoekbrldca. Senator Stanford k looking forward with great pleasure to meeting Senator-elect Stockbridge, of Michigan. He learned yes terday that Stockbridge was an admirer of hk famous horse Electioneer. The way be learned it was a little peculiar. Some time ago Martin, 8enator Stanford's manager at the famous Palo Alto farm in California, where, besides Electioneer, then are thirty other magnificent stallions, advised the sen ator that he had sold two fine 3-year-old stal lions for $5,000 apiece. Thk was a good price, but the senator did not think it was enough, and telegraphed asking if the sal was absolute. Martin answered that it was, and, furthermore, that on hk asking the pur chaser if be insisted on taking the horses, hk only answer was a draft by wire for $1,000 to bind the bargain. "The buyer knows bones," added Martin. "He's that new sen ator from Michigan.''

BY NO MEANS AS ECCENTRIC AS HE SEEMED TO BE. fh Rays the Teteraa Journalist, Joe Howard, Jr. Foar Instance From Which the Reader Can Draw What aver Inferences Ha Chooses. Who can forget Horace Greeley's affecta tions of eccentricity He was by no manner of means the fool ho assumed to be. That he was ambitious, anx ious for for public favor and fond of money, open to adultation and flattery, who that knew hk life would presume to deny! How then can hk affectations of dress, for they' were affectations, be accounted for, save on the theory of an unbalanced mind? Did it ieem reasonable that a man after years of metropolitan life, at the head of a great, and at the time, the greatest journal in America, associating with the first men of hk time, identified with all broad movements in the interest of hk fellowmen could, unless by accident, make a guy of himself, morning, noon and night, unless he did it with intent! I recall four illustrations of intentional affectation on the part of Horace Greeley. The first was in Sacramento, CaL A large audience had assembled to hear him s)vuk, and he was detained on the road. On arrival be was driven to the St George hotel, and hurried to a room that be might partake of some refreshment and dress before hk lecture. The- impatience of the audience was assuaged by the announcement that Mr. Greeley was adjusting hk toilet, and making himself com fortable after a long and tedious stage ride. He reached the hall at 0 o'clock. Was he dressed! Howl Precisely as when he left the stage coach. He had not washed hk face nor hk hands. He hadn't changed a single article of hk at tire, from coat to shirt, from collar to boots. Absolutely covered with dust, with cravat wry, with collar dirty and rumpled, with shirt front disarranged, with unpolished boots, he shambled into the ball, and up the long aisle, until, standing on the platform, dirty, ill-kempt, unattractive, he faced on audience mainly of New England men and women, each arrayed in accordance with decorum. What was that! Eccentricity, oddness not only, but an af fectation of the extremity of each. On another occasion, in Paris, he, as a del egate from the United States to the great exposition, was notified to meet hk fellow delegates in a siicciiied salon. Mr. Greeley and Erustus Brooks, another delegate, arrived in advance of the others. Mr. Brooks, who was the very personification of neatness and trimuess, noticed that Mr. Greeley's trousers were hitched up over the leg of hk boot, and at soiiio personal inconvenience having called hk attention to it, kneeled and adjusted the garment. Later on in the reception room, where the delegates from all countries had met for a formal presentation, imagine the disgust and annoyance cf Mr. Brooks when he saw that Mr. Greeley luid redisarranged his trousers, so that the bottoms of them still rested upon the legs of hk boots. What was that! Years after that I had occasion to call on Mr. Greeley in hk home, relative to matters in Washington. He was ill and in bed. The bedstead was placed across the corner of the room. In the center was a revolving book case, against which rested a long mirror. Articles of dothing were strewn about the floor and iutensest confusion dominated the place. Mr. Greeley was not seriously ill, but by the advice of hk physician kept hk bed several days. So far as confusion, mal arrangemeut and upsidedownativeness were concerned, that bedroom capped the climax. Was that intentional! BIS NECKTIE AWRV. The statue of Benjamin Franklin was set up some time after then in Printing House square, immediately in front of The Tribune bunding. A committee on arrangements provided places on the programme for Pro fessor Morse, Mr. Greeley and others. We were all to meet in The Tribune edi tonal rooms and go in procession to the statue. It was a memorable occasion, and every man paid such respect to the proprieties as could be indicated by demeanor and costume. Mr. Greeley walked down the stairs arm in arm with Professor Morse, with the collar of hk overcoat turned inwards, hk necktie awry and one leg of his trousers hitched up on top of hk boot. Was that intentional or accidental! Horace Greeley was a man packed with affec tations. I always believed hk eccentricities to be assumed because they were such palpable contradictions of all that he saw about him, of all he learned of hk unusual attrition with men of the world. He was proud of the oddity he presented. It gratified bim to be pointed out as peculiar, as distinct in hk per sonality from hk fellows. An evidence of weakness you think! Why certainly an evi dence of weakness in one of the greatest, one of the grandest men known to American history. He would have been a brave man who dared pronounce Horace Greeley insane by reason of these peculiar developments, and yet it k difficult to reconcile hk unques tioned ability, his world wide experience, hk rare power of thought, hk competency in argument, with these petty developments of vanity and of self satisfaction. When you come to think of it you will find evidence of eccentricity in nearly all the men and women of prominence you ever heard of. Joe How ard in Kansas City JouxnaL The Terrible Heel Fly. Mr. J. T. HiU, of Red Fork, L T., one of the oldest cattle shippers in the country, speaking of the heel fly and toe way it affects cattle, said: "The heel fly k an insect dosely resembling the yellow horsefly in everything except color, the former insect being black. They sometimes appear in great swarms among the herds, and sting the cattle in the leg or heeL depositing eggs under the skin. Thk would seem a small matter, but it sets the cattle perfectly wild, and it k impossible to hold a herd when thk fly k about They rush around as if mad under the intolerable torture, and I have seen them spring over a forty foot bank in order to get into muddy water, which seems to be the only thing that can give them relief. They lose flesh rapidly when the fly k bad, and readily succumb to the slightest indisposition. Thk fly k a pest for which there seems to be no remedy." Globe-Democrat An Optimistic View. Cardinal Gibbons stands with Gladstone rather than with Tennyson sixty years after. In hk sermon in thk city yesterday he il lustrated and emphisued hk belief that the world is becoming better rather than worse, and that, on the whole, righteousness and moral growth accompany enlightenment Two centuries ago there was hardly such a thing as law known in the world. There was little established order. Stages rolled through London with armed men on their roofs. There were an ignorance and immorality among the clergymen quite Inconceivable at the present day. Almost all "gentlemen" got drunk. Official corruption sapped the treas ury of every land.

"Her whole idea k to become independently well off and possem a fortune she has made by her own exertions. Rich as Fred Geb hard k, she would not be satisfied to divide hk money. What she wants k her own. Sho bos but two great dreads in life one k get ting old and the other k to be poor and old. She often said to me, and it was evidently, therefore, an idea that stuck to her: "I want a half a million securely invested so that I cannot lose it Then I shall leave tho stage and devote myself to myself. Until then nothing shall swerve me to this side or that" ! Mr. Mendum thinks the Lily now has from $a-jO,000 to $400,000 put aside nil of it pretty nearly in American mortgages. At first she i sent her money to England for investment ' about $T9,000 of it After that she got an I America!i lawyer and began ber American ' investments, which, all of them, bring ber t from 3 to C per cetit fully double the interest she would get in h-iigluiid. "I was in the parlor car," went on Mr. Mendum, "with my wifo the whole time that Fred Gebhard traveled iu it Mrs. Langtry and ho would meet at meals, but generally iu tho daytime she would retire to her own drawing room. Sometimes, when she was iu good humor we would all play cards to gether for small stakes. The fact is, she soon found the value of Gebhard as an advertise ment, and humored him accordingly. Love bim, no. There was never the slightest indi cation of even interest in him so far as I could see. You can always leave those things to a woman, and my wife was of precisely the same opinion as I wax. 'He was always ery polite and deferen tial, and never attempted the slightest famil iarity. Ho never ;;ave her a present during the whole time liu traveled with us, but every night ho sent her a bouquet. It did not mat ter where we were, bu always managed to hae the bouquet on hand. Sometimes he had to have them sent from other cities. These bouquets usually decoruted the break fust table the next morning." "How about the likelihood of a divorcer' asked tho reporter. 'Thero was no likelihood wheu I was with her, and she evidently appeared satisfied with the mutually agreed ujkjii separation that had taken place lntuL-vu bet-self and her husband. He had promised never to come near her. On oue occasion it was rejwrted that he was very ill and she showed a great deal of emotion a surprising demonstration on the part of so absolutely cold a woman. It k thk coldness that settles iu my mind the story that she has fallen in love with Fred Gebhard. It k quite possible, however, that some understanding has been arrived at alout a divorce. She has not seen her husband for several years and their separation has lastad now for more than live. I suppose, therefore, a divorce might be obtained without trouble. It k quite certain tliat the old affair is off forever. ul remeinlvr Mrs. Luiitry telling me the facts of tlih separation and they are rather curious. The Imgtrys had been in Loudon society for several years, and while money had boon a)in out ulnolutely nothing offered itself wheiebysometuuig would come in. At last Mr. Iniry becaino desperate. Her so cial snevesses hail been very great iu London, but thesa very successes cost a great deal of money. At length it came to the time when only a few hundred pounds were left Mr. Langtry had leen doing nothing and she had been urging him to find some business that would give him a maintenance. She got a sum from her father, and with what she al icady had secured enough to buy an interest iu the phonograph, then a great invention and generally believed to be practical. With tho money sho had purchased an interest in the instrument for saverol of the counties, aud Mr. Langtry went down to Bradford, I think it was, to work it. She waited for one, two and three weeks to hear from him, but not a word came. "Finally she determined on a trip down to Bradford to see what had become of the pho nograph and Mr. Langtry. She got there, and to ber amazement found that not a thing had been done, that the phonograph had not even beeu started on its career, and that all the money Mr. Langtry had with him was gone with his boon companions. Bitter re criminations ensued and they parted forever. The following week Mrs. Langtry accepted an engagement from the Kendalls to play at 30 a week. She crowded the Haymarket theatre. Then they wanted her to go on a tour through the country at the same price, but she saw that if she could draw in London she could draw still better in the provinces, so she went on her own hook. She played to the biggest money ever known in the large centers. She was anxious, however, $ get to America, and wanted badly an American manager. Someltody suggested Henry E. Abbey, and by pure luck be fell into a tre mendous success, but one which he worked up beautifully." "Do you believe Mrs. Langtry will marry Gebhard;" "I don't know. Who can tell the mind of a woman.' But if Fred Gebhard gets her he will get one of the finest women alive." New York Journal. Method In this 3XadneM There fc posibly some method in Anglo mania, after all, like certain other forms of madi:es.t I have been led to look upon the perfect dude, the incredible American imita tion of the low bred Englishman, who has grown unfortunately common hero in Boston, with a new appreciation since I read a frag ment of dialogue from a Paris paper at the club yesterday. This journal goes on to des cribe a certain Bobinard, who, it says, has taken to passing himself oft as an English man whenever he finds himself in public places. " Why this extraordinary freak, Bobinard f" asks a friend; "why Anglicize yourself in this fashion f "Simply to get along," answers Bobinard, "without the necessity of being polite." Philosophy thefe, to be sure ! Constant politeness requires' a good deal of solicitude, a good deal of wear and tear of nerve force, there's no denying it And to be quite out of the way of being ex pected to be polite must be a very considem blo relief to those to whom it dosn't "come natural." Boston Post. Women Who Have Cold Feet. The woman who wears a shoe larger than a No. 4 never has cold feet at least she never complains if they are cold. It is the woman wearing a No. 3 or smaller size that baa cold feet in public.
