[ Corresponilojipcs at ( he Ur.K.l A census of ' 'good so- uicty' ' has just , boon made in this city , luitl it is found Unit , out of u population of Hourly two millioiib counting in tlio metropolis and its suburbs only 700 uro qualified to rank with the best. In a , republic , whore the notion is outni- gioiihly general that behavioriw the true tcHt of wortlunc , it requires an iiu- thoritativa , edit-t once in a while to equoleh the levelling tendency. The Patriarchs have done the job this time. They arc an organization of intensely Hwoll ircntlomcn who give annual balls nt Delinonieo'rt , and Ihoy put what they regard as their minds to the drawing of the line distinethcly between "tociuty' und common people. The Patriarchs' next ball is to occur this month. Ward McAllister , an old beau of unquestioned Htatiding , is the high mogul. Every au tumn ho makes out n careful list of ninety-nine other.rcal gentlemenmak ing 100 in all. They constitute the pa- trlarcliH , and they were cliotpn only this week. They arc assessed ioO piece for : i utiui with v.'hioh to pav the lir.ii'H c'0-.ttf of mlihio and supper. Upon them is placed the awful 'responsibility of issuing invitations'for the documents nro Mibitantially credentials of the liighcst possible character , proving that 'the holder is "in society. " Each ono in the 100 , names seven persons. Thonum ber is based on a careful and critical estimate that there arc no more than 700 men and women in all Now York nuito worthy of the glorious distinction. The separated lists of Msven are sent to McAllister , who calls n secret mooting of the entire hundred , to whom the names are read , and a single % oto against a camlidato is Hutlloiont for exclusion. All of which is funny to the reader , but very momen tous to the small coterie of poisons con cerned. When Mrs. William Abler gave u notable ball , two years ago , she extended her invitations to eight hun dred , and was by her friends considered liberal , considering how sacred are the I'KKC'IXCTS OF "SOCIETY. " Thus you will sco that , so far as Now York is concerned , there may bo an "upper 10,000 , " but towering altitudi- nously above them are less than one thousand of positive superlatives. However , let us not abuse the Astor BorWif folks. There is a great deal of good in them. All that is required is Bolnothing'to bring it out. The ncw - papers have this week reported the opening of a now cancer hospital for women , and it was mentionedquite inci dentally , that John Jacob Abtor had privon $200,000 to the endowment fund , llow ho came to do so remains for mo to toll. Ann C'omgan was a servant in the Astor household. She developed n cancer. The family doctor could not cure her , boveral specialists also failed , and Ann died of a disease that pu//.let and defies medical skill. Thus the sub ject of buffering from cancel was brought to the attentior of John Jacob Astor. A thoimam philanthropists might have taken it tc him without avail , for millionaires arc calloused against charity appeals ; bul when ho actually saw Ann Corrigan tortured to death , in spite of all the hindrances that money could buy , his pity was reached. lie at once con sulted with expert medical men , and they told him that , possibly , under con ditions fayorablo for close observation and experiment , a successful troutmont for the diseasu might be discovered , lie employed physicians and architects to plan a hospital ) from which no con ceived appliance should be left out. It is exclusively for \\oinon. "Good ventilation is especially desir able , " said a doctor. "There is no house that I have over been in that was f-o well ventilated , " said Mr. Astor , "ns the Metropolitan opera house. My box there is a model in that respect. ' Why not ventilate the hospital the same as the Metropolitan V Thus it happens that a ventilating apparatus originally devised to save the I.OWVN'EG'KKU AXli M.KEVEhKSS DA3IKS and damsels from catching cold at the grand opera , is duplicated for the bene fit of the doomed , cancerous creatures in the new hospital. The air is drawn in directly from out doors , heated by pausing over a stoaia coil forced by a fan into all parts of the cellar , and thence rises in pipes to the rooms , where it is delivered in a way to preclude draughts. The dissipations of a forbidden kind are newly indulged in by nice girls who are a trillo venturesome. Onp is the whisky cocktail anil the other is the va riety theatre matinee. The first is not so bad as it seems , but the other is worse. In the fancy goods storcscaiidy shops and apothccario's places are bars for women. Tlicso arc called soda- stands , but the beverages have grown into a wide range of mixed drinks , nota few of which are alcoholic but in a very mild way. Just now it is the fivvorit'e deviltry of Fifth avenue maidens to slyly call for whisky cocktails. Wl > nt they get ib the faintest sort of a rcsomb- l " . ' . 'c r < Tihe real masculine thing about a teaspoonful of whisky , twice as much of wintorgrcen .cordial , and a dilution of sugar and water. This they swallow witli a sense of covert wickedness that imparts a delightful flavor to the al most harmless concotion only equalled by the effeminate dude's lemonade with fiendish ginger in it. As to the variety-show escapadesthey are confined to one theater near Broad way , and at matinees , when no smoking is allowed , and whore the city ordi nance against the "fealo of intoxicants in auditoriums is enforced. So there is nothing pernicious in the establishment itself. Hut the entertainment is often coarse and rough , and the actresses are not altogothar limited by the rules of drawing-room propriety. For instance , a party of Murray Hill girls , outfitted with a chaperone , went to the show on Wednesday. A young woman came to the footlights skirtlessly attired as if for a gymnastic feat of some port , for she was absolutely untrammeled by draperies. The gentle spectators saw that some trnpcuo trappings were hunfi at the side of the stageand they looked with equanimity to sco her risk hoi neck in an athletic way. Not bo. She was a vocalist. VERY fifclNTiaiENTAIA too. She sang a. pathetic ballad with the refrain , "Last night lavas'thinking of mother and heaven. " The girls were shocked dreadfully. But their visi had been , rendered piquant , and that was a comfort. But their shock was nothing at al compared to that of the audience whicl have this week assembled to see a re nli/tition of ' 'She , " the supernatural ! ) beautiful creature of Haggard's novel I do not romombet1 a more eager lot o women and girls than those who , at yes terday's matinee , assembled to view the marvellous lovlSness. Now , it may be that the management , desnaring o meeting expectations , concluded to save money by making no effort. When the veil was lifted from the ftu-'o of the im personator of "Slip , " no loveliness wa scon , nor even ordinary prettiness , bu the distinctly plain visage of a common place woman. But in the current Irving rama is a vision of angclssoartistically eraphic that the women go delightedly r'ild over them. They nro shown in a leseont from heaven ; and it seems sac- iligious to think , for ono moment , that hat they are on wages of live or six dol- ar.s a week , and that they arc London ers who couldn't so much as pronounce he word heaven without leaving the II out. out.Kflle's Kflle's mother is going to make a lot > f comfortables for the beds , and a halo ) f fifty pounds of cotton was loft at the louse. The little girl looked on as the natting was ripped off and remarked , lalf crying : "Do you 'spcct I'm doing , o have such n big ear ache 'is winter ? " Her mother had lately put a lock of cotton in the youngster s oar and fifty ) ounds of cotton betokened an awful ot of pain. A mother had occasion to reprimand : ho child and with a view to moral im- irovomont told her that even if her nether or herself didn't sco her do wrong the Lord saw her all the time. That afternoon they took the child to a , heatcr matinee. During the nerform- uieo she looked up at the ventilator in ; ho roof and broke out : "I say docs the Lord sco me here ? " "Hush"saidtho mother , "the Lord sees you everywhere. " ' "Then he's seeing the show for noth ing , " replied the child with evident dissatisfaction. I number A OtnDEDrAVOItlTK } f fortune among my intimate friends. She is a married bel'lo whoso name you often nee in the reports of doings in the ultra-fashionable world , a jn-oud and haughty young wife ot a millionaire , worth over a million in her own right , and married to about two millions. It .struck me tlmt it would bo interesting to toll the public how bho keeps her dre sos , how many she has. how she buys them , what she does with those she tires of , and all the rest that women would like to know about a v/ouifin who has whatever she wants whenever she wants it , und no matter what it costs or where it has to bo gotten. For , to mo , my friend Miriam is precisely Jiko a real flesh and blood heroine out of Ouida's novels , and Ouida has never told us those inner household , matter- of-fact secrets of the routine life of a gilded dame that wo arc all anxious to hear. To begin wjth Miriam never buys any dross goods. Sometimes when she i& shopping she sees a delicious stuff for a dress , and if she deems it irresistible she gets a sample of it and takes it to her dressmaker to have a dress made of it , but that seldom happens. She never considers whether she has dresses enough , in fact , she tolls me that ever since she was married she has had a great many more dresses than she could keep the run of. She is forever coming across pretty dresses , wraps , sacks , morning gowns and things that she had forgotten , and that she falls in love with anew and dresses up and enjoys the pleasure of a child , for bho is very tasteful and makes of dressing u fctudy and an art. Her dresses arc lit erally all over hep great Madison avenue house. Every closet oxcej > tthoao in her husband's room and those in her bister's rooms , is filled with her dresses , and , when I say that , I mean to add that never before did I see so many closets as there arc in that house , The second floor hatchway , for instance , including an additional hallway at the end of it , leading to the servants' addition to the mansion , is lined with dress closets , built on purpose. Then there are other closets on the parlor floor and on the two upper floors in the rooms , halls ami the passages between the rooms. It is on the second floor that she keeps the gowns she thinks she is going to Ube the most. In all , she must have over o-hun. dred dresses , suits and full costumes of various kinds. Then she has about a do/.en trunks that nro filled with linen , hosiery , handkerchiefs , lnoehats , , boots , glovcst wraps , shawlscloaks , and all the rest of the little things that go tc complete a wardrobe. In respect" of these things she considers her self poor , and so she is compared to her sister and to hundreds of women of even loss wealth who have hobbies for amas- sihg large piles of pretty little things. Her sister has hundreds of handker chiefs for instance , and will pay as high as50 for a handkerchief , if she falls in love with it and lias spent a little mint on the richest wob-liko linen and com bination of lace and linen or silk and linen at the rate of $76 for a chemise or pair of indescribables. But my friend Miriam cares very little for thorn. When she needs a handkerchief or underwear she buys a dozen of each thing of silk always but wholly for use. She has 1'ILESOr STOCKIXOS ' and heaps of boots to bo sure , but then she always buys those things to go with each suit and so the- heap up. It is to dresies that her taste leads her to ex cesses and you must know that the great number she has on hand mainly represent only a half year's collection , for she sorts over her things twice a year and weeds out great bundles of them , which she gives away to her servants , her favorite hospital , and needy family of her seam stress , who is always inho'r employ , and to her poor friends , for she had a num ber of girlhood friends that are not well off , and bho almost dresses them and fits them out for marriage , and clothes their children all out of her buporabundance. This sounds'oxdggorated , but it is not a particle so. , She bends away what would fill four or five trunks twice a year. Her cook , I am surc'/is / bettor dressed when ever she goes out than the wives of. most men who earn $7,000 a year. She has hats and jewelry , boots and stockings for everything- puts on. All her plain gold and silver jewelry she keeps in little boxes and saucers in her droning htnnd top drawer and on the stand , and in the pincushion and scattered about. She says fcho never lost a thing'that way in hen life. Her jewels , her rubies , pearls , diamonds , sapphires and/stones of all kinds , she keeps in a lire-proof boox in the wall of her bedroom. She has a marvellous collection and boasts that every piece in it is of her own devising except her mother's and grandmother's jewels , wnich came to her on and before ho marriage and which now form only half of her treasure , for slip adds to the lot constantly though she will only buy in two stores one hero and ono in London. She says the best jewelers , dressmakers , milliners and shopping stores in the world are in New York. And she knows for she goes abroad every year. You never saw a lady dross so quickly as she does. She lays out her suit , the stockings and shoes to match , the jewelry she is going to wear , the appropriate handkerchief and gloves , the right bonnet and veil and I honestly think bhe has hundreds of veils and then bhe puts all on and is dre&sod. She only wears her hair one way , so that is no trouble and evorv- thi'ng else fits and matches precisely so there is no bother about it. She lias a floor glass six feet tall and three feet wide , a three-sided face glass and the mirror on her dressing ca&c , so that a glance hero and there tells her whether she is all right or not , behind and at the sides. And when she steps out of her room she is every inch a belle and a queen , the envy of her sex and the most attractive woman of her set to the men , about whom she cares no more than if she was a statue and they were bo many pumpkins around it.

A MERCIFUL ATTORNEY GENERAL Garland Orders Their HrIcu < iO nml the Twelve Men Hot urn to Tliclr Capital City Homes A Iteccptlon. Once Mure nt liberty. Tlio following special dispatch to the 13nn ycitenluy afternoon and communicated to the imprisoned Mncoln solons wns the first information received by them that their hours of Jnll life were numbered : WASHINGTON" , Dec. 3. [ Special Telegram to the BKK. ] Senator Paddock , Representa tive. McShano and Mr. Liunbcrtson called upon Attorney General Onrlantl to-day ia ref erence to the municipal officers of Lincoln now in the Omaha jail. After hearing a statement of the cuso the attorney general , who was amazed to learn that the men were actually behind tlio bars , telegraphed the United States marshal at Omaha to place the prisoners in the cus tody of a deputy United States marshal at Lincoln and not keen them in jail. The at torney general says it is only neccs- snry to keep these men in nominal custody at their homes , ' as they would not escape if they could. This order will give the prisoners their liberty erty- and the necessity of a writ of habeas corpus , which would otherwise been issued next Monday , ia obviated. Tlio argument in the case will now proceed on December lli , the time ilxed for tlio return of the rule. Tliero was no little rejoicing at the Jail when the news arrived. Colonel II. II. Dean fell on the neck of Colonel Ensign and wept for joy. Mayor Sawyer forgot his dignity ar.il tried to kick the hat oft of Mr. Pace's head. In fact , all of the "convicts" were full of joy only joy. The prospect of returning again to the bosom of their families , together with their belief that the principle for which they had sun'ored imprisonment would bo upheld by the supreme court of the United States , served to place them all in the best of humor. The invitation of a friend to take dinner nt ono of the leading hotels was promptly accepted. Governor Tliaj or was ono of the first call ers after the news was received. The alder men and tlio mayor gathered around him und his excellency addressed them as follows : "Gentlemen : I rejoice with you that your term of imprisonment within these walls has terminated. Throughout the entire contro versy my sympathies have been wholly with you. The course taken by you 1ms received my unnuuUllod approval , and your dignified conduct lias inspired my respect und admira tion. Not that yon happen to bo fellow-citi zens , but because you upheld u principle that is u vital one. Judicial tyranny is tlio worst form of tyranny , and I fully believe Unit your course will bo vindicated by the highest federal court. "I regret that I cannot bo in Lincoln to night to in alto the address of welcome to vou. I depart at rt o'clock for Washington as'ono of tlio committee to secure the national re publican convention for Oirmha. " Mayor Sawyer rc.iied ; that the council bad only been actuated by their belief In justices nnd rig'.it mid that they were now fully con- vlr.ccu that their course was the proper one. Captain Hillingsby moved that a vote of thanks , bo extended to Governor Thayer and it resulted in a unanimously favorable voto. , At 7"i : ) last evening the twelve men took the train for the capital city , accompanied by Deputy Marshal Allen , who went along to sec that they arrived safely at their homes. The "Convicts' " Welcome Home. LINCOLN" , Neb. , Dec. 3. [ Special Tele gram to the Bin : . ] Two thousand people greeted the rctui ning councilman at the depot to-night when the Omaha train readied the city. The train was late , but the enthusiastic uudienco only grew larger in waiting , The Knights of Pythias band , the police depart ment , tlio tire department and prominent citl /ens vied with each other in extending the welcome to the returning pilgrims. Tlio line of March was at once taken up for the city hall and the council chambers where not one- half of the assembled crowd could find stand- ng room. Hon. John Flt/gorald was nmiiil- noiisly called upon to preside , and Judge Webster and Hon. W. II. Woodard welcomed ho returning ufllcluls on behalf of the citizens of Lincoln. Their remarks spoke the inuuii- nlty abroad in the city In support of the council. The principle nt stake was com mented upon und the imprisonment was declared an honor. Tlio striped suit brought back by Conn- ilmiin Hriscoo was displayed fiom the lost mm and icferonce to it was received with great cheers , liasltotsof llowcr.s wore sent to the meeting in honor of the event. Mayor Sawyer was called upon to respond : o the speeches of welcome and ho was re ceived with great enthusiasm. Mr. Sawyer uldfcssed himself to the principle at stake in ho pioccedings had , und declared thut there was no weakcningon the partof any of them. Ho declared that they would have staid a month , or a year , or ten \eai-s in jail it necessary in older that the question of local homo rule might be in dicated. The major upoko of many warm greetings that they had received while in confinement ; of their visitors and their mes sages of sympathy. The mayor paid a glow- ng tribute to Governor Tlmyor , whom ho said was one of their most earnest supporters nul advocates of tlioir honest and right posi tion , and ho further stated that the parting words of the governor were that if the su- ircnio court did not afford them icllcf that 10 would take pleasure in personally appeal ing to the president for their pardon. Councilman Uilllngsly , in rcsi > onso to en thusiastic calls , umdo an eloquent speech of hanks to the good people of Lincoln , who nul so unanimously accorded them support in what they bolicvcd was right. Mr. Billingsly spoke of the fourteenth amendment upon which Judsp Browcr laid so much stress and said that it it gave such absolute powers to a federal Judiciary the people should know it. [ Ic said that the confinement , while made igreoablc , was not pleasant In its separation from homo and families and buBine.ss , but bc- icving they were right they remained without complaints. Mr.Billingslyspoko in warm terms of tlio excellent care and attention paid them for their comfort by Marshal Bicrbowcr. Sheriff Co'mmi , Jailor Miller anil their special custodian , Major Houclc. Councilman Pace responded to the calls in nn eloquent speech , setting forth the princi- iilcs for which they contended and all the rc- [ iiainiiifrconncilmcn were called out by the enthusiastic audience. At midnight tlio meeting was yet in session and the city oUl- ciuls wore receiving Congratulations. M1MTAUY MATTKIIS. Relieved From Duty A General Court Martial Appointed.

Hallway News. CAKEi.nss orur.ATio.v. No Httlo complaint has been made of late concerning the manner in which the lives ol citizens arc jeopardized by the careless man ner in which Union Pacific cars are bwilchei across South Tcatn street. But this seems to bo of very little moment considering the irregular manner in which the suburban trains are run. They uro scarcely ever on time. For instance if the 10lf : > train to Council Bluffs is llvo mines behind timq anil the South Omaha dummy is likewise lute , the trains must meet at tlio Union donot. The South Omaha trains come in on the first track while these from Council Bluffs ttiko the second. Passengers from the sto6k yards often get oft their train on the north side with their backs toward the east and by so doing are unable to MCO an approaching train from the east. No less than u hundred narrow escapes- have been icportod during the past year. No signal is given In such n case and the company In permitting ono train to enter the depot while imothor Is on the next track is being unmercifully cen sured. 1C. C.
