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- | of establishing a music fund for St. John's collcglato church. It mav be the moans of organizing a surpllccd choir , which is being contemplated. In any event it will enable the choir to furnish oven bettor music than it has in the past. The programme com prises the names of some of our best local talent nnd will draw largely , regardless of the worthy cause. Tlio following is the pro gramme : I'AHT I.

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 dresses. , 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 next Monday evening at Masonic hull. The association 1ms been in existence so long , and Its socl.il affairs have proven so eminently successful that it goes without saying that tlio coming ball , which marlcs thu second decade of the society's ' existence , will bu u most pleasurable affair. Efforts are being put forth to make It cclipso all former balls given under the auspices of the association. A Inrgo salu of tickets has already been made.

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.
