Newport Fete Champeitre The monkey dinner, ths farmyard din ner and the fish festival which have de lighted the swell residents of fashionable Newport in weeks past, have been thrown in the shade by the function pulled off by Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbllt at Beaulleu, their Newport home, last Mon day. Some features of the entertainment described sby New York papers show the extent to which rival millionaires go ia providing novel entertainment for tbslf guests. The Vanderbllt "fete champetre," which coat $25,000, presented certain bewilder ingly gorgeous aspects and something that had never before been attempted in ths history of Newport's social life. At ths east side of their villa was constructed a complete theater, in which a full profes sional company from New York gave "Tbs Wild Ross," and in ths grounds on ths other side, along ths driveway, was erected the long tent, where there were all the "side shows" that ons might see at a country fair. Guests were not allowed to drive to the doorway of the house, but found an en trance near the south gateway, which ad mitted the guests Into ths "midway." The entrance was twenty-five feet wide and eighteen feet high, in the shape of an arch, and inclosed and Hoed in red with three rows of electric lights running from ths tops of a flagstaff twelve feet above the center of the arch to the lawn. On either side were dressing rooms, where the guests laid aside their wraps befors they catered the Midway proper. The latter extended in a straight line 256 feet to the front entrance, and was lighted by 600 electric lights of red and whits. Rugs covered ths lawn ths entire leagtk. The Midway was lined with red cloth, and was resplendent with streamer and garlands of flowers and standa of dark-green laurel leaves, which hung la graceful sweeps ovsrhead and on the sides, where they Incased tho booths.

ON THE PLAINS BEfORE THE CHANGE WM4rfil Contrasts Bertweea ths Ooavrk Driver 4 ths S4o4er Enzjlaee rmfcwlews Speed la Railroad Ballslas;. The piles of old tin cans that marked the construction camps of the western railroads are being scattered now, and ths drifting desert aand Is obliterating a ones plain record. Years ago ths bright labels fell off the cans and the rust began to gnaw at them, says a writer la the New York Evening Post, but It is only within ths last few years, under the vigorous "housekeeping" methods of the younger generation ot railroad men. unhampered by tradition, that these old tins bavs been carted away from ths track aid to return to the elements from a dump heap at the head of some deep canyon. The old men, going back and forth from Omaha or Kan sas City to San Franclsc.0, miss those piles of rusty cans, and are provoked to tell their old meaning to the younger travel ers. But the young traveler says ne is glad they "carted all that rubbish out of sight, for. you know, a fellow does not travel to look at that sort of thing." Thera Is the gulf the old man sees -It between generation and generation, ine old man sits back silent and goes over In hli own mind once mors the wonderful story he lived through, from 1864 to 1869. The young man wonders bow it is that every man be meets past 60 Insists on stuffing him with "such awful lies." A man lives and work in bis own genera tion rlrhtlv anonrh ha thlturs his own S the most significant In the world's his tory. And yet, to the old westerner, it seems a pity that his work should be dis regarded. Ii was so full of big purpose, so vital, so swift, so manfully dons that v. wishes It mlffht coma a little closer to to the young men than the vague para graphs in a school history or in ausiy memoir on a second-hand book store shelf Old StagfO Days. In 1865 the old man had staged from Atchi son, Kan., to the mountains, across the mountains to the deserts of Nevada, and from that waste of alkali and sage across the Sierra Nevadas, down to the rich plains of California, and to the hurlyburly ot cos mopolitan San Francisco. He remembers his starting place as a kind or big stocit -mrA and eamn meeting combined, from which constantly trooped forth long wagon trains, drawn by mules and oxen, laaen wtin mill and mining machinery, plows. grain, food, clothes, whisky and the inevi table eases of canned goods. He saw these trains return empty, grimy with the prairie dust, the cattle gaunt and the men seared hr tha nralrie sun. He saw the wild ca rousals, the brawls, the frequent or3 of tha Indian attacks, the Mormon persecutions, the good and bad. the ugly and beautiful, the aays work, ana me M.tias sieen after. It all went forward with such a compelling force that the next step the railroad excited no contain Tiiiainasa overwhelmed the staging com panies and the freighters, so the railroads bad to be built.

It took tns rail road builders a dosen years to realize that they had done a remarkable thing when they pushed the steel rails from the Mis souri river to Ban Francisco in the four years from 1864 to 1S68. During those years the world was full of talk ot the Im mense fortunes gained, from the govern timintiaa and rich land grants, by Governor Stanford, C. . P. Huntington, Crocker and Oliver Ames the splendid achievement ot these men of energy was neantad aa nsrt of tha day's labor. With a government money bounty ot $30,000 to the average mile, and wltn the grant ot every alternate section of land on each aids of the road for twenty miles, with loeal grants to the California com pany worth 84,000,000, the westerner of 63 did not see why a railroad should not be built rapidly. But to the man who came upon the scsne fresh from the east, with no personal prejudices, the achievement seemed wonderful. Writing of this work In 1869 Samuel Bowles, editor of the Springfield, Re publican, says 1 BeglaalaaT ( Cemstraotloa. "There will speedily be other railroads across our continent. The rivalries of sec tions, the temptations of commerce, the necessities of our political system, will add at least two more through lines within a generation's time. But ths, the first, will forever remain the one of history, the one of romance. Its construction la so short a tims was the greatest triumph of modern civilization, ot all civilization, in deed. "The work was seriously begun on the camp, strength-testing machines, wheels of fortune. Punch and Judy, shooting gal leries, doll game and "toss the ring," and troupes of negro dancers and singing girls. The last booth near the house was a ticket office for the performance In the theater, where the guests secured reserved seat tickets. Ths sides of the Midway were lined with tall palms, hydrangeas and other flower ing plants, making a pretty picture with the many alcoves and recesses formed by ths booths. Looking out between the plants and flowers could bs seen the trees and shrubbery on the lawn, brilllaatly il lumined with aleetrlo llghta, making a spectacular background Passing up tho broad stsps Into the house, the guests were received In the drawing room. The house itself was a wonderland of flowers. The hallway was decorated with scarlet flowers, which con trasted well with the white garlands on tts, piazzas, all being Interspersed with minia ture electric lights. The drawing room was massed la American Beauty roses., The reception room was decorated with lilies of ths valley and the other rooms with piak and whits roses and orchids. Hsre and there throughout the bouse were placed large bunches of gardenias and Jes samine, y , After having been received by the hosts ths guests proceeded to the theater, where ushers in uniform conducted them to their seats. The theater was a temporary struc ture, 40x64 feet, connecting the piazza and overlooking the cliffs. It wss provided with a floor, to be used later for dancing, and the stage was 40x25 feet aad eighteen feet high at ths opening. The stags was set with scenery from the Knickerbocker theater, New York, which theater fur nished the attraction, the musical com edy, "Ths Wild Rose." The whole was brilliantly lighted with hundreds of elec - trio lights. The flowers used were chiefly wild roses tn clusters aad bunches. All around the sides were hung Romanesque garlands at yellow flowers and green, sua California slds In 1864; on the eastern end In 1866, end the early part of the year 18C9 witnessed its entire completion. Consider ing that Its length Is ever 1,800 miles; that much ot It lay through an almost unknown and unexplored country; that It crosses two great continental ranges of mountains and almost Innumerable sub-ranges; that even the feeble centers of population along the line were 600 miles apart; that-for dis tances of from 300 to (00 miles there was no timber tor ties, and for distances of from fifty to 200 miles there was no water for even drinking uses, and no grass 10 feed animals; that all the iron for one half ths road had to be shipped around Cape Horn or across the Isthmus of Pan ama, and for the other to be freighted across the country from Pennsylvania thinking of all .those elements of delay, difficulty and cost, surely neither argu ment nor rhetoric Is necessary to place this work In Its true proportions and its true relations before the world, and In the pages of history." To support his admiration of the Paclflo railroad builders, Mr. Bowles cited the cost ot that section that climbs 7.000 feet up the Sierras In 100 miles, and 100 more added tor detours and twlstlngs. One hundred thou sand dollars a mils, he declared, was the average cost, with some miles running to an expenditure of $300,000. A million dot lara In gold was spent In that section for blasting powder. , In the summer of J1S68 the track was laid on the "Divide," In the presence of a dis tinguished party. Including Vice President Colfax. Aa the work of the pioneer railroad builder fades further into the past, the credit for the achievement more and more centers on the men who planned the roads, and, since only a part of the record can be preserved. It Is fair that the big men should be called big. But it seems a pity to lose the minor records, the stories ot sub contractors working against time to bore a tunnel or bridge a shifting river of sand. These were the men who had to turn the turbulent, restless frontier laborer Into a steady worker to finish their allotted sec tions on time. These were the men who had to meet the pioneer farmer, prejudiced against railroads on principle, and In some way dismantle the farmer's fortress and grade the road through In spite of threats and flourished guns. Ost Coatraetor'a Experience. It was one of these men who, In building the Santa Fe railroad across Arizona, met the most curious problem he ever faced. He was a capable, resourceful Irishman and he had secured the contract for grading a hun dred miles across the Arizona wastes. At one end of his section he set a gang of Mexeans to work and at the other a larger gang of friendly Yuma Indians. And be cause of his resourcefulness and frontier ex perience he kept both forces at work at wages a white man would scorn. As the work progressed and the two gangs approached within ten miles of each other, the contractor figured out his rate of prog ress, the time still left to complete the grade according to contract, then rode across to the camp of Mexicans and dis charged every man. Ths lai'.sas, ho cal culated, could complete the work alone, and t would save $500 In wages the difference between the Indian and the Mexican de mands. When the Mexicans had scattered to the winds, beyond the possibility of re-employment, the Great Spirit appeared to the chief vt the Yumas and forbade the Indians to pet pick or shovel Into the ground where their ancestors had engaged in a fierce, Idoody battle and where many of their bones were burled. The Great Spirit said that those old warriors were guarding that sacred grouod, mounted on swift, invisible steeds and armed with deadly ghost arrows, and If the railroad grading advanced one teot into their preserve the whole tribe would be stricken. The sub-contractor heard this from the nhlef of the Yumaa; he took it to mean a demand for higher pay; he offered to raise Che wages to the Mexican standard, to save trouble; be even reached the white man's rate, but the Indian would not listen, only naylng that much money could not save his jnen from the wrath of outraged spirits. 5)ay after day the contractor labored with the Indian and always the same answer came: "Propitiate the angry spirits and ire will go on." An Irishman and necessity made very good parents of Invention and on the sixth day of the delay Brady came out ot his rent arrayed in all the paint, feathers and finery he could attach to himself, and holding In his hand a charm which ha told the chief would protect his men from spirit arrows and enable them to go on to the end of their labor, as tho Great Spirit had origi nally ordained. Marshaling the Indians In a compact body, Brady led them out onto the ancient battlefield, uncorking as he went a bottle of ammonia, and quieting for ever the uneasy and hostile spirits. He A nlshed his section of road on time and paved his $00 in wages. 80, wit and resource were as necessary among the railroad builders as they ara among empire builders. Blunders wers fceavily punished and daring was richly rewarded. To this generation, used to a settled order, penny wise and methodical. the tales told by ths old men of work dons and difficulties surmounted appear like Swell Function by the Vanderbiits. pended with ribbons, and In the center of the panels were large Louis XIV baskets filled to overflowing with wild rose blos soms and trailing vines. Pretty programs on rough-edged paper printed in red and black were distributed among the guests to be retained as souvenirs. While supper was served many things In the theater were changed, the basket of flowers In ths center was removed and a chandelier with myriads of tiny electrlo light was left In place. The theater seats were removed and the gilt chairs for ths cotillion substituted, The musicians occu pied the stage. The supper tables were all decorated with bunches of wild roses and everywhere this flower was seen, carrying out the Idea of the entertainment. The performance ot tha "Wild Rose" began at 13 o'clock and after this was over supper was served at small tables In the dining halls and on ths piazza. The cotillion was danced by 100 couples. There were many elaborate favor figures, the favors being not only pretty but costly. There were flower wreaths, gauze fans, tied with long ribbons, and pin cushions, brilliant flowers of many kinds and various lines and tie cases, silver atomizers and cigarette casta, automalio dancing dolls and monkeys, small sliver bon-bon baskets filled with candies, and sliver match boxes, sli ver buckles and French horns and other sliver knlckknacks and articles of use snd pleasure. Two bands furnished the music during the dancing. Borne idea of the extent of the work which was necessary for this ons night's entertainment may be bad from the fact that the theater and Midway required two gangs of carpenters working night and day for five days; the electricians worked tor weeks, arranging for the illuminations, and the florists were compelled to work night and day for several days to eomplete their task. In addition there was tbs closing of ths New York theater for ons night and ths transportation of an entire opera company to Newport tot a "one-stand perform- choice bits from Munchausen or modernized Arsbian Nights' tales. The old man crawls Into his berth with a feeling of resentment against the skeptical young traveler, and falls to sleep, wishing that the other might have bumped, sleepless, for six days over that ancient stage road from Atchison to Cheyenne. ECTtMERT OF THE) ArHOX. Its Popalarltr Brgaa to Decllae Aboaf Farty Years Age, It ta about forty years since the popu larity ot tho apron began to wans, says Woman's Horn Companion. At that time no woman's wardrobe was complete without an assortment ot aprons for all sorts of occasions. A black silk apron was the arms ot elegance and propriety, and any nondescript gown could, by the addition of the black silk apron, trimmed with a few rows of black velvet ribbon, be dignified and adorned to the utter satisfaction of the wearer. Aa apron had rather a wide field ot use fulness when you consider that It not only preserved and embellished a new gown, but It also concealed the defects and added dignity to an old one. Aa apron was al ways en regie. The best dress was kept clean by Its use and the daintiness of It represented all tho feminine traits. It was a regular banner of the home. To Its strings the children were tied. "Tied to his mother's apron strings!" Contemptuous expression of subordination! And yet so much sentiment attached to It! Whoever was tied to his mother's apron strings was comparatively safe was In his mother's lead. Mother's apron! The baby was rolled 1 1 It. Childish tears were dried In It. The little boys used Its strings for reins and the little girls played princess and trailed Its ample folds behind them, real ladies In waiting to an Imaginary queen. It may sound far fetched to say that horn sentiment waned with the decline of ths apron. The latter may not have been the cause, but it certainly kept pace with It. t have the written statement of a man to the effect that a snow white apron tied neatly about a trim waist had" power to attack the masculine heart at its most vul nerable point. After that, say there Is no sentiment about aa apron! But man cher ishes sentiment about things of which th feminine mind has no conception, and hli heart has been many times ensnared It the muslin bow that tied at the back ot his sweetheart's waist this banner ot th home. The last was about the man of 9 generation ago. But the man of today has the sams sentiment latent. RICH GIRL PEDDLES PAPERS."" Vlrarlalsv Belle Sells Newspapers Is Front of the Theaters.
