Counsel oti Hoolnl C'nrd IMnylnc.
.I'ittsburg Chronlcle-To/cgraili / ) : As the
season for social caVd playing Is at hand ,
a Tow friendly words of counsel may not
bo Inopportune. ' It will save you some
disappointment nnd possibly irritation IS
you rcali/o at the outset that no ono but
yourself will take emphatic notleo of the
brilliant plays you make : It Is not worth
while to delay the board in an eloquent
exposition on thu matter. Von may maku
friends by complimenting your partner
or your adversary on their happy strokes ,
but you can never convince any ono that
yon made a particular play yourself that
was masterly. That is sheer waste of
tlmo. l-'noli ono at whist ia enamored of
his or her unrivaled performances and
gives no hoed to the exploits of anj' ono
else. You will find it also of service not
to hold your partner responsible for all
the bad luck and quietly absorb for yourself -
( self all thu glory of any success achieved
You will not make the game moru agreo-
nblo by attributing your adversary's vic
tories to good cards and your own de
feats lo bad cards. It will improve the
temper of the game to restrain exultation
when you win or ill-natured complaints
when you lose , There is philosophy also
in the rcllcetion that all cannot win , and
that if your own failure is a littlu nn-
palatable you have , oven if unwillingly ,
given some elation and satisfaction to
other parties. If you lese by a mere
scratch , it Is not an affair for serious
grief , and if you are really outplayed-
will sharpen yor.r wits for other encoun
ters. "Bo taught by your cnomius" was
the Ilonmn motto. A little refreshment
of some kind is an excellent means of
preserving tlio peace in thesu bouts , and
you will reconcile the losers by a timely
snack. Civih/cd people rarely eiiarrel |
whilst they are feeding. Finally , it may
bu judiciously borne in mind that the
game is pastime and not a serious event ,
and that whether you win or lese it is not
an allair which determines your place in
the human scale , or in any substantial
way allccts your fortunes in life. If you
tak'o it too much lo heart , you might
abandon whist and substitute Uominos.
Short CoiuinuH of Society.
Society with : i sudden capriciousncss
lias ceased from cards and tea-parties
and found its amusement in the ball
room. The week has been gay with
dancing parties from all grades of society ,
perhaps the most thoroughly happy be
ing the children's german at Mrs. II. T.
Clarke's. Children plunge into the ex
hill ration of the moment with the joyous
frankness and happy lack of self con
sciousness that is peculiarly their own.
There is a spontaneity in the mirth of
childhood , and an ingenuousness that is
lost with the attainment of maturity , and
which is probably thu reason why people
are wont to look back on their childish
days witli n half rOgrotfnlnnss , as for a
state that is .as ell'uctually dissolved as
their own childish identity and which
can can nuvcr bo reproduced in them.
One accustomed to the irood old. Eng
lish fashion of mingling old and young at
dancing parties , expressed some surprise
that this eminently cnsibiu nnd social
cuMom should be so scrupulously over
looked amongst people professedly in
lovu with everything Knglish , from thu
early English to the John Bull product of
thu nineteenth century. It is to be feared
that Americans absorb the mannerisms
of the mother country without profiting
by any of its time honored social usages ,
many of which would be a real acquisi
tion'to any country old or new or emulat
ing Its superior graces of higli breeding
and courtesy. With the exception of the
Jewish club where old anil young teem
equally happy together , and the true
spirit of good fellowship seems to bo promoted
meted to a greater extent than in any
other club in Omaha , the various clubs
eeoin to bo composed exclusively of young
nnd often very cajlow youths , and the
result is the affairs are marked
by a cruduncss thr.t usually
charactcrixes enterprises from which
inoro experienced pni-s are excluded.
Perhaps , howover.it just as often n mutter
of protorenco that the older people and
the men of substance aru absent from
these gatherings. The habitual fro-
quontnr of the ball room is usually a man
for whom nature has done a great deal
inoro in the way of agility than brains ,
and tho.su who < o companionship is worth
anything for itself have as a general rule
outgrown the dancing period and are en
gaged in thu serious work of lifu. When
recreation dooscomii it is not in the in-
runty of the ball room that ho si' ks it.
The average young man of fashion , the
dude , is usually HO laukingin gentlemanly
instinct that ho is unlitted to do the hon
ors even of a club parly. He has spent
thu best p.'ifl of the time ,
Hinco leaving his clerk's desk
in the afternoon , in bringing
himself to his idea of a lady killer , and
wht < n he llnds himself in the ball-room ,
arrayed in all the glory of a spike-tailed
coat and patent leathers , his mustache
coaxed to a bowiti'hing upward curve
nnd his complexion properly toned down
with powdor.hu Is soJostin admiration of
himself , and speculation as to thu in
evitable result of Ids charms 0:1 : the op-
positn sn\ that ho is incapable of per
forming a single act llr.it would do credit
to ordinary good breeding or point to
the slightest indication of true manhood.

Art Notes.
The work of modern artists compares
favorably with anything ' .hat has been
accomplished in art , and it should meet
with duo encouragement , it has always
been the custom to pay tribute to what is
musty , worm-eaten or defunct , but with
modern advancement there ought to
come n revolution in such matters , and
talent should bu recognized and patron
ized when it is among us rather than
when II ha < < become a matter of history.
Airs. Alumaugli's pupils are busy with
every variety ot the art from china
painting to modeling.
Aliss Bulhacll has put tho' finishing
touches on a llutcd cup ami saucer cov
ered with a myriad of tiny buttorllies ,
and tinted inside with Dale yellow.
Another pupil has been painting the
daintiest devices in bolting cloth , to bo
mounted on satin ribbons. One design is
Unit of a winged child mounted on a
crescent moon in the midst of rosy
clouds. Others are equally pretty and
faneltul.
"Two Little Wooden Shoes" have boun
the object of Aliss Emma Fitch's dec
orative skill. The shoes arc lanro
enough , however , to bo utilized for
paper receptacles. One is a snow
Scene and Dutch Windmill , on the oilier
a brighl landscape. A ( lowering vine
begins at llio heel and winds around lo
llio loo. The shoos are tied logethcr
with ribbon and hang tin.
Airs. Trnynor is finishing a panel of
bright roses against a cloudy back
ground.
Aliss Edith Polton is painting pretty
landscape of a mill among mountains
with a swift stream in the foreground.
Airs. Aluinaugh has completed a slrik
ing landscape , noticeable for its peculiar
sombre coloring , and winch seems to
develop some now beauty at every in
spection. Showery Weather is the titlu ,
and dark storm lowering clouds nro in
middle distance while in the hozizon the
light is trying to break through and ro-
licet itself in iho lock divided from the
stream by .1 picturesque path in the fore
ground.

Niw YoitK , OjjaJ3 : $ . | Correspondence
of the Hr.u. ] I/et mo toll you ono thing
about liberty , who was unveiled in our
larbor to-day. She is an outright fail
ure. Ner face is well enough , but look at
icr clothes ! The biggest woman in the
vorld , placed conspicuously on a pedcs-
al as a candidate for admiration , Is
h tlnctly and disgracelully unfushlon-
nblo. lliavuluidu talk with Bartholdi
iboilt it.
"It Is evident , " I said to him , as wu
Blood in n party viewing thu statue from
ho deck of a . tertmboat"thatyou draped
her skirts at the time , of tlio aesthetic
craze , when clinglngmcdlauval garments
were in vogue ; but wo have now come
nto an era of Imstlos , nnd she really
won't do. "
The sculptor was vlstoly unu./.cd. I
presume that uncritical adulation has
madu him solf-satlslled and vain , nnd so
condemnation shocked him.
"What would yon have mo do ? " ho at
length faltered , "Surely , liberty's garb
is classical ; and can you expect her to
change her hronzo'coslttmo as tliough it
were fabric with evury nltora'tlon of
fashion ? "
"Exactly that , " I answered. "Therein
yon would show true genius. You ought
to have contrived some Ineans of chang
ing the dress of liberty four times a year ,
thus making her ever a timely exhibit Of
admired and ndriurablc womanhood.
Just see how doxvtly and baek numbered ,
not to say chestnulty , she looks without
any toiirnuro. "
The Frenchman appeared to think 1
joking , and I am atraid I didn't
make much impression. But 1 was
right. Liberty enlightening the world
ought lo have thu aspect of a lady a
well dressed lady and she hasn't.
KOUTEbCUK.
Of course , an impersonator of any
particular thing ought to bo costumed to
suit the character , but I hold that , as lib
erty keeps right up with the times in
Nuw York , her statuesque exponent ab
solutely requires 'iiodishness to make her
respected. In the .way of perfect suita
bility in garb , Helen Fortescue is an il
lustration. She is a sisto.r of the actress
whom Lord Garmoylo wished to marry ,
then wouldn't,1indfnnally had lo pay
$50,000 to her for changing his mind.
Helen is here in tliel same company , and
her role is that of o poor pua.sant girl ,
who returns to her home , a sort of prodi
gal daughter , ragged and bare-footed.
Mention is maduolLtlio bare feet , and.
as the play is in ' blank verse , per
haps nobody around the concern linn skill
enough to alter the text without spoiling
the meter. Anyhow , Helen appears m
fiyu-toed fetockinjg > Ojnd : their hue is llesh
color which is not' to say tlio bright
pink of tie | ballot , but a realistic skin
tint , that makpa yiks'- drop their opera
glasses from her nua'dMo her fuel to dis
cern whether or not the girl's feet and
„ - „ jiru covuEatfj' ' As , thoi nails nro
deftiyouUincrt,3twnnrd to decide , .mid
opinion is usually divided on thu vex : lino.
The men aru gallantly ready to believe
that thu apparent pedal perfection is
genuine , but the uuimpassioned women
will noli concede so much , and if Helen
could only paint a com or two on hur
toes she would command unprecedented
success.
ACTHKSSES.
Society is awfully distracted about ac
tresses. Hunt club balls urn the diver
sion of tlio present for those who dislike
to amuse themselves in ways possible to
the million. There wcro two last weuk and
three this. A cotoriu of inconlcsliblo
swulls organize a club for steeple chas
ing and fox hunting , buy or lease a spa
cious country house and grounds some
where \vithm twenty miles of town , and
resort for Hold sport after the English
fashion. Each meeting winds up with a
bull usually in the evening , though on
election day tlio Jerome park special
races are to bo followed Ljr a
mutinto dance , there are hall
a dozen or so of Eng
lish actresses among us , fresh
from London , where soinu of thorn have
figured in aristocratic society rccogniz-
edly. Now , ready as wo are to accept
English usage as right , wo have all along
shut our doors against stage women
whoso record was at all clouded. I could
illustrate ) with names , but that would be
unpleasant. What I wish only to tell is
that a move has been madu to introduce
these professional beauties at the liunl
balls. Invitations have been extended
and revoked , bitler things have bcun
said , and there is a commotion altogether.
Thus far the convcnlionuls have hold
their own against thu innovators , and

Niw : Yotfic , Oct. 08. [ Correspondence
of the BIK. The law
: ] against pool-sull-
ng and bcltinc on race courses In this
stale was inoperative until toward the
end of the season , when thu racing at
luromu park and on Long Island was
spoiled by legal interference , and the
trufmon feared the lifo had been knocked
out of their snort. But the amateurs are
now let alono. Al the autumn meeting
the Country Club , dudcdom was afforded
every facility that a gontlolnun could desire -
sire for gelling rid of money oxpedi-
tlously and nnprofitably. A dozen book
makers had their boards up behind the
grand stand and sold tickets on every
raco. The club provided nccomodations.
and its employes assisted the bookmakers
in the usual way. In Iho grand stand ,
ladies talked horse , as Is thn fashion now
in swelldom , and baukcd their opinions
with bank notes. The path through the
private grounds of the club from the
railroad station was besot by thimble-
riggers and their cappers , nirl many nn
innocent emptied his purse into the
pockets of these thieves , after paying % 'i
to get properly controlled by Ihcsu gen-
tlumen. Several policemen and a mag
istrate from New Uochullu wuru in at
tendance to preserve order and uphold
thu majesty of the law. They passed the
games on the path without saying a
word. Whether the judgu won or lost at
the layout back of Iho grand stand did
not appear , but after the races lie seemed
to regard bookmaking as no worse
than thimble rigging , and promptly
released from custody two of
the gamblers , who had been arrested , at
request of elub members , for beating onu
of thu indigenous inhabitants out of his
money. The judge , after receiving ad
vice from thu cappers , who eloquently
pleaded the cause 01 Iho arrested sharp
ers , opened Ihe autumn term of the court
in thu middle of the road and decided
that gambling was gambling. "You
but , judge ? " reniisrked counsel for the de
fence , not meaning , however , to give his
honor away in the bookmaking business.
"But , " continued the court , "it is a dif
ferent thing to beat a half-willed hack-
man out of ifGO on a brace game. That's
why I've interfered with you fellows. "
Then the sports argued that the last
race of the Country club was as big a
skin as thimblerig. because Air. Arthur
Hunter might have won with Eastcheslor
if ho hadn't pulled up at thu linish just
unough to let Campbell go in by a neck.
Thu court declined to express an opinion
on that point , but again remarked that
gambling was gambling , and told the
thimble-riggers to clear out and not al
low tlicmsolvus to be e.aught again in the
bailiwick of Now Koclicllo. The shnrpors
thanked the court and vanished , the cap
pers approved the judgment emphatically
as a brilliant display of legal
acumen , and the court adjourned
and strolled along toward the train.
Freddie Gebhurdt , who had lost $ , "iO on
the races , and severely disapproved of
the vieu of gainbl'm < j , wanted the thimble-
riggers punished for presuming to in
trude among gentlemen with their lowdown -
down lay-outsl and other members of the
club thought it a beastly shame that the
police had permitted such things to go on
under their noses all day. Air. Ay right
told thu judge nnd the police that it was
their duty lo prevent violations of tlio
law , and warned them not to let tlio
gamblers go. The court was about to
call itself to order and send the constables
nflor Ihe sharpers , but the eloquent cap-
pur assured tlio judge tliat he
had no right to ro-arrost a dis
charged prisoner ; that it was un
constitntionl to try a man twice ,
and that he would get himself into con
flict with the .supreme court if ho had lliu
gamblers arresied here again. While
the court was trying lo recalla precedent
boarimr upon the case , the tliimblu riir-
gurs took to the woods. Air. Sanford luft
the court , and iho policemen perturbed
in spirit by assuring them that the ulub
would follow up thu matter , and cause it
to bo ascertained why open swindlers of
tlio law wore not .suppressed by the auth
oritics of New Kochello.

tiu Is timid , and thu great money in-
luonces are disgusted at the prospect of

nto tile politics of the country and do-
Handing special consideration. George
s well known in England , nnd his. doo-

iiul sold on thu New York market ,
lunce thu hesitancy that has been
nanifested on our stock exchange during
the past week , and which will not bo re-
novcil until the result of the election is
known.
Till : IH'I.I. MOVKMKNT

us opinion that , for thu rust of this year ,
ho market will bu quiet , and excepting
occasional spurts , prices will gi ' 'rally
Tall oil. This view is hold by very many
iperators , ami a formidable bear party
s actually In existence , that proposes to
irevunt any further risu in stock quota-

, hu country is prosperous , but thu point
s made that Wall street prices have
Uncounted all thu beneht it has

Then , the high rates for money do not
admit of dualing in ordinary securities ,
with the exhaustion of prolit In carry

il Oor7 per cent to carry that stock ?
Delaware iV : Lackawanna , which pays ?
per cent on its face value , has sold ior
MO and over , which yields less than 5 per
cent. Some tlmo nuxt year It may pay 8
| ) ur cent , but in the mean time is it a
Hood business proposition to pay 0 per
cent and over for money to carry a se
curity which yields only fi per cent.
Then , hero are Michigan Central and
Lake Shorn selling up mlo the ninulii'S
and not paying any dividends at nil.
True , they are potunlially vury valuable
properties , and will some day yield good
relnrns to the'rv stockholders , but the
management is conservative , and there
is sure to be disappointment al Ilia small
ness of the lirst dividends to hu declared.
It Is noticed , also , that while the
volume of slock transactions is about the
sanio as it was last year , the demand
for bonds has fallen oil * greatly. Last
week only $1-1,000,000 was invested in
state and railway bonds against
$00,000,000 for the corresponding week
last year ; and this has been the ratio
lor several weeks past , showing that the
investing public is not actively in the
market as they were a j'ear ago , and
that the great volume of business has
been in slocKS of an non-dividend pay
ing character. This is always a dan
gerous .symptom. Had the boom in fancies
continued a crash would have been in
evitable furlher along. But this danger
has been averted by tight money , and the
fear of Henry George's election. These
are the views held in conservative cir

thu . 1HK.J : With the approach of thu whi
ter : season , matters musical as well ns
theatrical , aru beginning to take their
regular autumnal boom.
The Boston Symphony orchestra stands
among the foremost of the Hub's many
excellent musical organizations. It has
suvonlyllvo members , many of whom
have played in it lor years. This season
thcro are half a dozen new Importations
from the best orchestras of 1'uropo , from
Beyrouth , Alainz opera house , Parlow's ,
the Bilso orchestra , olc. , giving It a mem
bership which in point of general ability
has never boon surpassed In this country.
Concerts are given by it In Aluslc Hall
every Friday afternoon and Saturday
uvnnlng , those in thu afternoon giving an
opportunity for ladles and many others
who could not otherwise attend , to do so.
I dare say thai no other one thing in this
city has uono so miioh in thu way of ed
ucating thu masses np to tin appreciation
of clas ic music as llie.su concerts which
mvu been given every season for live
years , and ills to bo hoped will continue

Flio enthusiasm attendant upon the
visit of Hon. Justin McCarthy does Hot
seem to wane. I understand that Air.
AleCarthy is enjoying his visit hero very
much. It is salt } that ho missed the at
tentions of the literary metropolis. Golh-
amitcs wuru shy of him apparently bo-
cau.se ho was a moru pleudor for the rights-
of his poor Fatherland. But , however-
the case may have been in Now York.
Mr.McCarthy has certainly no reason to
complain of coldness or inhospitality in
Boston. Indeed , if he complain at all , it
must needs bo to the ull'oet that Bostonians -
ians are tiring him with dinnur.s and par
ties and luncheons in his honor. To say
nothing of Iho privalu attention that has
been paid him , public entertainments in
his honor havu been many and cordial ,
and tlicru seems lo bu no und to them. I
am told that Air. AlcCaitliy nuvcr began ,
to appreciate his own work until ho heard
that magniiicunt address of woleomo
ftom a man to whom every Bo tonian
points with pride , John Boyle O'Ueilloy ,
editor of thu Pilot. Air. O'lluilley's sen
tences on that memorable evening in the
Parker House were such a tribute i > s any
man might bu proud of , however great
his political or literary achievements.
On the night following Air. AlcCarlhy
was given a supper by ti'1 , ' avurn clue ,
at which feslivo occasion no less a person (
than William D. Jlowulls prssided. Thuro
was ] n.ss formality than on the pruvio.ua *
iiljrht but Air. AleCarthy .says ho nuver
enjoyed himsulf more in hi.s life. . , ,
Mr. liowells. by ' the way , is a lirst rate
man lo sit at liie'huad of a table. He has
a peculiar faculty of enchanting and
convulsing hi.s listeners by turns , and
his tribulu to thu literary genius ot tlio
guest was a beautiful gem of rhetoric.
This , with Mr. AluCarthy's speech and
talks by other gentlemen , made the oven-
ing's entertainment most delightful.
Air. McCarthy is being lionized by tlio
bnsl people o'f Boston and viomily.
Thursday ho was the guest of Professor
Alorse at his elegant homu in Salem ,
whore may bu seen the most magnificent
Japanese collection in iNow England
The Irish patriot's next reception was at
thu St. Batolf club , where he met a great
many people of literary nnd artistic note
who'welcomed him most cordially. Alto
gether i should .say that Air. McCarthy's ;
reception has bcun a warm and sincerq i
onu ; that ho slundshigh in the estimation
of Athenians , all'of which goes to provo.
that Air. Alutthuw Arnold was nevermore
sadly mistaken than when ho said that
