aio.VIIUfor anil tlio Centennial Hall.
The gieat Ward MoAlllstor still remains
unrunicd. It needs n philosophic spirit to
fill * o high a place as his , and MoAlllstor
coins to have that kind of a spirit. Notwithstanding -
withstanding all the aggravation bo has re-
celvod from the legislature , the aldermen
nn.l the newspapers , nnd also from the action
of tha centennial committee in taking away
nearly all the power with which ho was In *
vested a few ucoka siuco in connection with
, > -
the great ball notwithstanding the whole of
it , ho has not been heard to say ' 'd n" once
by any of tils familiar friends. If ho dtdn t
luivo n true philosophic. spirit ho
probably would huvo said it n
hundred times. Ho was almost
the whole ball committee at first , but now ho
is only u small part of it , un oxceedinply
small part , as nearly all his authority has
been transferred to others , yet ho does not
murmur or make a fuss in any way. Ho
bides his time and seems confident thutovury
thing will como right at last. One of tiicso
inquisitive persons who sometimes send short
notes to newspapers asked the other duv.
"Who the devil is McAllister , anyway } "
Who is McAllister ? Well , in the first place ,
Ward McAllister is a southern man , a na
tive or Georgia , not fur from sixty years old ,
and a resident ol Now York nearly forty
years. Ho was trained for the bar und ad
mitted to it , but his inclinations being social
rather than legal , ho has been bet
ter known all along in the clubs and the
social world In general than In his profession.
Ho is in the fullest sense a. society man , liv
ing in good but not extravagant Style on u
regular income from property , and making
himself especially useful to the social world
us un organizer and innnngcr of fashionable
events. Ho Is neither pretentious nor
ofllcious , and ho Is not In any scnso a dude ,
though ho has been often represented in that
character. His friends say ho Js a "good
fellow , " are nil ready to stand up for him ,
and regard the fun miulo of him as u social
celebrity by professional wits as very poor
stuff. "Ward McAllister is always a gentle
man , " Is ono thing they say quite often.
Though ho does not talic much on the sub
ject , ho certainly must feel that ho would
have done much better for himself had ho
kept out of the centennial business al
together.
St. John's Muslcnlc.
A musiealo Is to bo given for the * pufJoso- |

the choir to furnish oven bettor music than
it has in the past. The programme com

Tlio Ancestry of the Dude.
U Is becoming the habit of certain persons
to rail against what is termed swell dressing
and the young gentlemen who Indulge
therein , This ubuso of good dressing Is a
common mistake on the part of our broad *
minded , rugged philosopher. From the tlino
of Socrates some clever men have scon tqan-
hood and bravery in unkoinpt hair and
towslcd clothes.
Why is Vhlsl
Isn't ' good dressing ono of the many flno
arts of civilizationi Hasn't it been a murk
of noble blood and distinction from the tlmo
Eve nmdo a Mother Hubbard out of tig
leaves ! And weren't there uude * In the
biblical days more gorgeous , more onmto in
their decorations than any who walk Peacli-
tree upon those fair April afternoons (
Mon had to get , themselves up royally
when they had to keep their four or live
hundred wives in love with them. Our
swells of the nineteenth century btill strive
to nmko their c'mrnm ' appreciated by wives
only they are somebody clsu's wives and
that makes the desire stronger and the ex
ertion more exciting.
A man may be u dttdo .ind anything else ho
wants to at the same tini" . Augustus Cicaar
was a grc.it dude ar , home , and Solomon's
glory is a biblical chestnut.
Absolom was a dude of the first water : hemet
met his death through Ins vanity about long
curling locks. David was as gorgeous in his
raiment us Kyrlo Hollow , and that's ' thu wuy
ho happened 10 c.itch the fancy of his friend's
wile. D.inicl Webster would never make u
speech unless ho wore u dress coat , so his
valet had to paok onp up in his vntiso when
hi ) went around stumping the country.
Yes , any man can bo a dude without harm
ing himself or his fellows.
A literary fellow is about the last ona
would suspect of dudcism. People say of
suchunonn ; "Oh , ho don't care for dress ;
he's too absorbed to think little things. "
That's not the real reason. He's too poor to
bo paying for tlno clothes , and that's why ho
goes slouchy.
lluslncss Versus Society.
In this ago society maltcs demands upon
young men which , if fulfilled , are bound to
unlit him for business. No merchant or law
yer wants a salesman or clerk that devotes
three-quarters of his cvenintrs to parties ,
dances , etc. Tlio man who doesn't get to bed
until 1" 1 o'clock three
or at night or four
times a , week is in no condition to transact
business at 7 o'clock the next morning. Ynt
that's what our young men are trying to do.
Twentylivecara ago wo thought nothing
of working from 7 o'clock In tlio morning
until 11 o'clock ut niirht , day in and day out.
Now-a-days the young men think they nro
abused If they c.ui't go homo atI or 5
o'clock. Hard work , perseverance and econ
omy nro the attributes of u successful man ,
no matter what his vocation may bo.
Ijltrrnry Militiamen.
The session of the Croighton Guards 'lit
erary society last Monday evening was an
unusually Interesting one. The first thing
on the program was the excellent rendition
of ' 'Spartacus , " by Mr. J. A. Hoonoy , Ho
was followed by Mr. IX C. Shelley , who read
an essay on "A Typographical Error. " Mr.
Shelley took for illustration a twenty-four
pugo Chicago paper , estimated the number of
typo in it und demonstrated how remarkable
It is that more errors do not nppcr. After
un excellent pUno duct by Miss Maud Husslo
and MM. James A. Atwood , Dr.
Murphy delivered a splendid oration on
"Tho Profession of Arms. " This
was followed by an impromptu debate on
the subject , "Hesolved that Private Owner
ship of Land Should bo Abolished , "
The society has organised a > class in litera
ture that will meet ono a week to study
treat authors , Mr , J , A , Hoonoy will have ,
charge of It and the first meeting will bo
next Tuesday night , ongfollow will bb the
first author studied , and Mrs. Haly will read
an easily on nis life. Each member of the
class will rccito fifteen lines from Evango-
liuo.
AVclcbino to Kcv. French ,
Rev. J. M. French , tlie now pastor at the
First United Presbyterian church , was ton-
do red a most pleasing reception uy the mom.
bers of his new /lock -Thursday evening.
Most elegant refreshments were served and
a number of ministers delivered welcome ad

Knslor M ft Ing.
A peculiar Easter-Sunday custom Is still in
vogue in Bomo of the northern counties In
England. On that day the men parade the
streets with the ' privilege of "lifting" every
woman they'meet three times from the
ground , and demanding in payment cither a
kiss or a sixpence. On Easter Monday the
tables are turned , the women being entitled
to the chance of recovering their kisses or
sixpences , as the case may be.
Chambers' "Hook of Days" thus alludes to
this custom of lifting. "In Lancashire , und
in Cheshire , Staffordshire and Warwick
shire , mid perhaps In other counties , the
ridiculous custom of llftint ; ' or 'hcfxving' is
practiced. On Easter Monday the men lift the
women , find on Easter Tuesday the women
lift or heave the men. Thu process is per
formed bv two lusty men or women Joining
thuir hands across oacti other's wrists ; then ,
making tlio person to bo heaved to t-it down
on their arms , they lift him u aloft two or
tbroo times , and often carry him several
yards along the street. A grave clergyman
who liiipnoned to bo p.ir.sm through a town
in Lancashire on un Ka-ter Tuesday , and
having to stay un hour or two nt an inn , was
astonished by thrco or four lusty women
rushing into his loom , c-xclaiining that they
had como to 'lift him. ' To lift mo're- !
pe.itud t'm ' amazed uivino ; 'what can you
mean ; ' "Why , your icverencc , we're como
to lift .von , ' cause it's ICaster Tuesday.1
Lift mo because it's Easter Tuesday ! I
don't uiiderstnnd. Is there such u custom
huroi' 'Yes. to bo sure , all us women was
lifted yesterday , and us lifts llic men to-day.
And in course it's our rights and duties. '
After a little further paIry , the reverend
traveler compromised with his fair visitors
tor half u crown , r.rid thus escaped tlio
dreaded compliment. "
The ICmmot Dull.
The twentieth annual grand ball of the
Emmet Monument association Is to bo held

The Swell or l ho Senate
For the first ten days of the special session
of the senate , says the Washington correspondent
pendent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer , the
the attire of the now senator from Colorado
attracted no special attention. This was bo-
causa Mr. Wolcott was in n now and untried
field ami , so to speak , was feeling his wuy.
Homurkuble us it limy seem , ho lacked self-
assurnnco. Hesoonfcpt over that feeling of
dllHdeuco , however , ' ' and returned to his
natural state a sttitp which bus resulted in
tlio amu/oment of hlffollow members In the
senate nnd the wonderment of the galleries.
Ho has bloomed forth most gorgeously in
clothes , which , if Carlylu were alive , ho
would muko the subject of u new edition of
the Sartor Ucsrtu ? , or the philosophy of
clothes. Ho prqmisfts to cut almost us great
u figure in the nmials of the sonata us did
Tabor with his diamonds und nightshirts of
surpassing valup.yhllo Tabor ran to
nightshirts andi/llampnds , Wolcott runs to
'
trousers , vest , coats' und scarfs. Both are
abou t equally /rrcat'ln their different lines ,
but Wolcott liau. aslight advantage In the
comparison over , ' Tftbpr , in addition to his
clothes ho has a'dliimond aft big as un Ohio
meeting house In'a.ryral district. Thid diamond
mend ho wears ia n , feck scurf , the color and
'
material of which.'changes every day. Tuber
the day before ho ] < ? ( / , the sonata , pointing to
certain scratches upon his desk made by his
diamond cuff buttous , said ; "Visitors to this
chamber can see that as a senator I tiavo
made my mark. " Wolcott , when ho departs ,
can eay : "Although I didn't ' have very much
to do with legislation , I go with the placid
assurance the 'mo and my duds' have
knocked the senate and the senuto gallones
silly. "
