ily for those who
delight in seeine
their own faces
there is scarcely a possibility of any person '
monopolizing the business of mirror-making.
The industry is too old for that. It
began thousands of years ago, and even the
name of the man (possibly it was a woman)
who made the first mirror is not known.
Looking glasses are mentioned by many
ancient writers. The Bible contains allu
sions to them (see Exodus, nxviii., 8. and

Evarts in mourning for something or some
body. An honest, truthful mirnr is sure
to attract attention and favor in any society;
but, as to the other kind, well everybody
despises a liar.
Mirrors are much used in these days sim
ply for decorative purposes. With suitable
surroundings they give an air of richness
and luxuriousness to an apartment which
nothing else can approach. Of course any
sort of decoration can be overdone, but a
certain number of large plate-glass mirrors
tastelullv disposed are an indispensable
part ot the furniture of a fine house. I
have never been able to account for the
lavish display of mirrors in saloons and
drinking places which are far from luxur
ious in their other furnishings. But the
proprietors say they draw custom, and
terve for ornamental purposes far better
than anything else costing the same money.
Watch a crowd of men drinking in front of
a bar and von will observe that at least half
of them gaze at themselves in the mirror
while so engaged.
For, be it known, the habit of looking at
one's self in the glass is by no means con
fiued to the fairsex. Amanmaybe .Trained
to be caugtt aa
miriug his own
reflection, yet he
is quite likely to
look at it when
he thinks he is
unobserved. You
will see the ex
quisite fix his
necktie and twist
his mustache
while gazing
straight into the
barroom mirror,
and if you will
take the trouble
to note the well
dressed hotel
guest as be paces
nervously about
the office or sit
ting room, you
will catch him every now and then throw
ing a sidewise glance at the mirror as he
passes it. Of course he wants to make sure
that his clothing, his hat, his necktie and
his general makeup are quite au fait. It is

EW YORK, January
19. "Oh! What a
beautiful funeral I Sure
St Patrick mnst be
dead."
It was an old woman
who made the exclama
tory remark. The sight
that so impressed her was a section of Fifth
avenue and a cross street crowded with car
riages. To her mind, nothingless than the
obsequies of her patron saint could get to
gether such a lot of equipages. But she
looked in vain for anything like a hearse,
and the liveries of the coachmen and foot
men bore no trace of mourning. This oc
curred on Wednesday of the present week,
and the vehicles were conveying guests to
and from Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt's after
noon reception. Only a few days previ
ously there had been a precisely similar
spectacle further down the avenue, when
Mrs. William Astor had received a thou
sand of her friends. The Asters led off in
the season's gayeties at home, and they did
it gorgeously by means of receptions, sup
pers and dances. But the present has been
a Vanderbilt week, with its supper and
dance by Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, its
music by Mrs. William D. Sloan, a Vander
bilt daughter; a reception by Mrs. Elliott
F. Shepurd, another heiress of the family,
and the grand reception by Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, already mentioned. There is
no reason to accuse the Vanderbilts of
plungiuij socially. They are simply crowd
ing their entertainments into January,
because Cornelius and William K. will
both go to London early in February. In
the English capital they will undertake to
solidify and extend their already important
position by means of elaborate hospitality.
I am told by a well inlormed lady from
London that the Vanderbilts have made an
excellent impression there that their lavish
expenditure of money has not been
accompanied by the s'lightest vulgarity,
that they have not forced themselves upon
anybody, and that they are bound to be
come leaders over there before lS&'J is over.

Mature abounds in material that may
serve as mirrors. Tbe most common natu
ral reflecting medium is water. Doubtless
the first mirror upon which a human shadow
ever fell was a pool or spring, and it is
probable that Mother Eve gained knowl
edge of her own beauty in this way. There
roust have been a spring or brook in the
Garden of Eden, and who will believe that
there was auything there which Eve didn't
look into? The origin of woman's custom
of looking at herself in the mirror being
thus accounted for there is nothing surpris
ing in the fact that the practice
is uniersal. The dukv-skinned
belle of the aboriginal tribe who
pauses on her way through the forest to ad
mire her shadow in the deep waters of some
silent pool, is but following an instinct of
ihe human race, as truly as the civilized
maiden who stops to gaze and smile when
Ebe catcues a glimpse ot her own fair face
reflected in her own plate-glass mirror. We
are all familiar with the picture of the dam
sel wno sits De
cide the spring,
lost in day
dreams sug
gested by the
reflection'in the
water. In truth
it is a lovely
picture, wheth
er it be real or
i magi nary,
whether thegirl
belong to the
Indian or the
Caucasian race,
if only she be
pretty. The
tioating clouds, the sparkling sunlight,
the majestic limbs of surrounding
forest trees, the overhanging verdure, and
finally the thoughtful but happy young
lace, all faithfully mirrored upon the glassy
burface no vouder the subject is a favorite
one with painters and poets, and no wonder
that the best of them fail to do justice to it 1
Mirrors have been compared to truth. So
has water. Perhaps the reason why truth is
said to lie at the bottom of a well is because
there is water there. Water is a truthful
mirror. The same thing cannot be said of a
good many artificial mirrors. If you are
disposed to doubt this statement go to the
nearest cabinet maker and buy a 40-cent
looking glass.
Gaze into it, and It will tell yon that you
are more fearfully and wonderfully made
than you ever dreamed that you were. The
next time you go to your grandfather's
home in the country take a look at yourself
in the little square glass in the lower half
ot the frame of the kitchen clock. It you
have been disposed to be a little vain about
your looks, you will be so no longer if you
believe what that mirror tells you. One
reason why so many country people commit
suicide, I think, may be found in the look
ing glasses in their houses. When a person
comes to the conviction that he is as
ugly as he is represented to be
in the old fashioned cheap mirror
made by coating the back of a crooked
pane of window glass with quicksilver it
is no wonder he
-v. becomes anxious
to see if he will be
better looking as
an angel. Some
of the mirrors that
are mistakenly
used for the orna
mentation of the
interior of street
and railway cars
are equally un
reliable. They
either make a
hatehet-fared man
loric as if his
countenanre were
as rotund as the
full moon, or else
they elongate
every visage they
reflect until the
image uoks like that of William M.
nieces of Turner and Watson wero involved.

Major Lillic ("Pawnee Bill") states that the
preliminaries for tbe Oklahoma invasion were
progressing; favorably, and that he would cross
the line of the Territory on February L Be
tween 500 and 1,000 people, in wagons and on
horseback, will leave Wichita on the 2Stb, to
be joined along the line of march by others. It
is expected that tbe number will be 5.000 when
tbe line of the Territory is reached. Many who
are not members of the colony will take ad
vantage of the crowd to get into Oklahoma.
Beside these are the colonies from the East
and South. Tbe rendezvous is not yet made
public and, it is claimed, has not j et been de
cided upon.
Tbe friends of the late Henry P. Marshall,
who was for over 20 j ears cashier of the Sea
men's Bank for Savings, on Wall street. New
York, were snrpned at tbe published state
ment that $12,000 worth of funds held by him
as Treasurer of the Frotestant Episcopal
Cbnrch Musionary Society for Seamen cannot
be found. It was ascertained this morning
that funds of St. George's Church, and the es
tate of which he was trustee, are also missing
to the extent of nearly 40,000 additional. Mr.
Marshall, who was 71 years old at the time of
his death, two months aco, belonged toa family
of high standing. Tbe total shortage of Mar
shall is estimated at 70,000,

A lady living in Allegheny claims o
have been swindled by a Pittsburg soap
firm. She claims to have purchased 40
cakes of soap at 10 cents each and had a con
tract with the firm to the effect that she
would receive a hanging lamp as a pie
miuui. When she applied for the lamp the
firm refused to give it. The woman has
placed the matter in the hands of Detective
Allen, of Gilkenson's Detective Agency.

The new freight rates from Pittsburg to

figures.
About Overcoats.
A very popular price is fifteen dollars,
and that's the figure we now offer our 533,
$30 and ?28 kersev and chinchilla overcoats
at. A dozen different stvles, all silk and
satin lined. They were ''bargains" at $30.
Imagine what value they are at $15. We
also have a number of overcoats at $10, re
duced from $22. We've simply knocked
the bottom out of prices in men's business
suits. A ten dollar bill buys an elegant
all-wool suit that would have cost you $22
a week ago, and when you recollect that we
only deal in the better qualities of men's
clothing, you'll understand the full strength
of these bargain prices. Just look in and
see us to-morrow; we will be glad to meet
you, whether you purchase or not,

An incident in a Fourth avenue car con
tained just a grain of beauty. All the seats
were occupied, when an old, poorly dressed
woman entered at Forty-second street The
first one to offer his seat was a well built,
clean-cut gentleman considerably under the
middle age, his face smooth shaven and
firm, his eyes clear and alert, his whole
bearing engaging and graceful. The poor
old woman was one of those Joquacions
creatures who often talk away in an inno
cent manner to strangers, and so, after
thanking the man who had given her a seat,
she told him of her intended trip to New
Jersey to see her married daughter. She
wanted to go to the Christopher street ferry,
she said, and didn't know, for the life of
her, how to do it. Her new acquaintance
listened politely to all she said and assured
her that he would see that she was trans
ferred to the blue car at Eighteenth street,
which runs to the ferry. The gentleman's
bearing toward the simple old woman was
gaining the admiration of every one in the
car, he was so patient and good natured with
her. At Eighteenth street he stopped the
car. Just then the desired other car shot
across. Rushing to the front platform the
obliging gentleman called loudly to the
driver of the crosstown car. Then be helped
the old woman from one car to tbe other, ran
back, and smiled good-humoredly over all
the trouhle he had been put to.

tan. It was Cornelius Vanderbilt He had

Every Friday evening Lillie Devereaux
Blake gives a coffee, assisted by her daugh
ter and some of her girl friends. There is
always at l.ast one distinguished guest
and a limitless amount ot talc, music and
coffee. Mrs. Blake prides herself on the
quality of her beverage, which she brews at
a square table in the dining room, seated
before a large tray of solid silver, heavy
with the sterling sugar basin, cream jug,
spoon cup, slop tureen ana toast rack, each
an heirloom that was at one time the pride
of a Burr or a Dix a century or so ago. At
the 1 Ji6t coffee the pretty ad vocate of woman's
rights was dressed in au antique moire be
longing to Aaron Burr's mother. The gown
of peach yellow, with peach blossoms in
brocaded silk, was caught at the belt with a
girdle, the clasp of which had been fash
ioned from the lid of a silver snuff-box be
longing to Aaron Burr.
"It isn't true," said one of the strong
minded ladies at Mrs. Blake's last recep
tion, "that wom?n are more quarrelsome
Among themselves than men. The contrary
is true. Look at Sorosis. That club of
women has been in existence many years,
and it has never bad a row worth mention
ing. But take a present glance at the best
of tbe men's clubs. There is a row in the
pretentious old Century that is going to
smash it all to flinders. The new Players'
is hardly started before a rupture begins,
and it is as good as broken up. Tbe Union
and the Manhattan both bave fights on
hand that get into the papers. Doesn't that
prove women to be better tempered than
men?"
"And did you ever think," interposed
Mrs. Blake, "that every year we have a
whole week of prayer throughout Christen
dom for young men, while there is never a
suggestion of such a universal and pro
longed plea for young women? Why not?
Because our sex, I suppose, doesn't need a
week of supplication by all the praying
people on earth to move heaven to lorgive-ness."
against Beecher after many years of close

did not take Mrs. Beecher into considera
tion. That aged, white-haired, and appar
ently decrepit old lady roused herself for a
trnplv Rppfbcrinn effort. She gathered
around her all the firm and fast friends of
her dead husband, appealed to them to
prevent what she regarded as disloyalty to
his memory, and so incited them that they
fell upon the project and killed it. That is
why Plymouth voted to have no installa
tion formalities whatever, and so Abbott
began his regular pastorate last Sunday
without one word of special ceremony.
The fashionable dogs in New York to-day
are undoubtedly the bull terriers andFrench
poodles. Girls prefer the terriers and the
young sports run with the poodles. There
is a way of shaving a small Newfoundland
doe to look like a French poodle, and a
great deal of this deception is practiced.
The real article is a rarity, and its char
acteristics are unmistakable to anyone who
knows anything of dogs. He is just as clean
a built animal as can be found. He is as
fine as ebony and shaves like a rich piece
of satin. He puts his feej. down when he
trots as though the pavement was hot, lift
ing up each paw daintily, as yon have seen
an old lady try the heat of a flatiron. They
can be taught more than any dog tnere Is,
all the great trick dogs being of their breed.
The ones owned here are always doing some
thing for their masters carrying a bundle
or an umbiella in their mouths, and often,
just for the humor of the thing, a pipe.
Most ot tbem wear a silver nraceiet on one
fore paw. The poodle is a very haughty
dog, never taking any notice ot strangers,
and repels all advances from dogsof another
beeed.
The bull terriers, who are most loved by
the girls, are faithful little fellows but
awful fighters. They look as though they
intended to chew all creation up hne and
swallow it, but they never think of biting
anything but chicken meat and other dogs.
I find that the most swell girls prefer a
pure bundle dog, or else a clear white ope
with a brindle patch over one eye. A girl
friend of mine paid $100 last week for a
brindle pup two months old. She sold her
pug the week before for $20, and it was un
doubtedly a more valuable dog than the
terrier; but fashion did the business.

"This strange and glorious creature a woman of whom, clothed in the majesty of her almost
endless years, the shajlow of Eternity itself lay like the dark wing of Night" Haggard.
A thousand women have the time to read
a novel where one man can do so, and that
is why so much of current fiction is sickly
with sentimentality, or riskily unique in
its representation of the divine passion.
Mrs. Langtry has just begun to prepare her
memoirs for a publisher. But really it
should not be a secret that a clever journal
ist on a New York paper has engaged to do
the greater part of the literary work in this
book. The public will lose nothing by this
arrangement, for the writer is, ot course, a
more skilled expressionist than Mrs. Lang
try.and can cast a halo of artistic beauty over
her gentle experiences that the lady herself
must have missed. A book of this charac
ter will probably prove profitable, for it will
be bought by "the big, curious crowd of
women. A good literary production is only
sold to a comparatively" small number of
people, and the aim of the new body of nov
elists is to hit the ordinary level of feminine
interest which makes a book sell like the
proverbial hot cakes. But deliberate efforts
to capture the capricious attention of women
seldom succeed, as everyone Knows, A. u.
Gunter's remarkable bit of fortune with
"Mr. Barnes of New York" surprised the
writer as much as it could have anyone
else. I remember going into a friend's rooms
about three years ago and picking up the
manuscript ot tnis cook irom a table, it
was for sale at that time for (400, and even
that figure was merely nominal, for as far
as the author's affection for the work then
extended he would have disposed of it for a
good song. Even for some time after it was
published Mr. Gunter only hoped that the
book would clear expenses, and thus give
him courage to try his hand at the business
again. But it was caught in a popular
tide .and had a voyage that these later copies
cannot reasonably hope for. Now he could
get almost his own price for a novel, and it
might alter all turn out worthless. There
is undoubtedlr a demand for an absorbing
book at all times, but women's caprice as to
novels seldom strikes twice in the same
place, and it will probably catch up out of
next summer's bids for idle women's favor a
book quite different from "Mr. Barnes." So
these writers who are endeavoring to be so
shrewdly popular in their promised work
may be as much surprised at their failures
as Mr. Gunter was at his success.

Prof.
Christy is forming new classes for beclnners
on Monday evening, January 21. This is a
sew term.
Let us consider one lady who is. .'anions
for something else than social distinction.
"We will take Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher,
because she has just achieved somethiug dif
ficult and, to herself, very satisfactory. All
through the scandal which involved her
husband she was a stronger fighter than be,
and it has been understood among their ac
quaintances that the stand made against
Theodore Tilton was a result -of her firm
ness rather than his choice. Now that he is
dead, she has no more disposition than be
fore to forgive bis enemies or to make peace
with them. Plymouth Church is in a criti
cal condition, as you have read in dispatches
telling about its greatly reduced income.
The present pastor, Lyman Abbott, is an
able and excellent man, but it hardly needs
saying that he doesn't fill the Plymouth pul
pit as it used to be filled. Mrs. Beecher op
posed the selection of Abbott as pastor with
all her micht because he had been luke
warm in bis adherence to her husband In
his difficulties; but she was beaten in her
resistance, and her outspoken denunciation
of the call was characteristically vigorous.
After Abbott's trial year of pastorate, the
ordinary course would bave been to call a
council of Congregationalist pastors from
New York and Brooklyn, request them to
act briefly or otherwise, and then to let
them,, in case they liked the choice, to
formally install the new pastor. Plymouth
had been taken out of good fellow
ship with other Congregational churches
by Beecher at the time of the
scandal, and it was thought that now it
mightbe put back into harmonious rela
tionship with them. It was therefore
planned, with Abbott's approval, to invite
such a council as I liave described, and then
get Rev. Dr. Richard S. Storrs to preach
the inaugural sermon. That would have
settled matters amicably. Storrs had turned
The Plain Truth
Is that Hood's Sarsaparilla has cured thou
sands of people who suffered severely with
rheumatism. It neutralizes the lactic acid in
the blood, which causes those terrible pains
and aches, and also vitalizes and enriches tbe
blood, thus preventing the recurrence of the
disease. These facts warrant us in urging you,
if you suffer with rheumatism, to give Hood's
Sarsaparilla a trial.
"Having been troubled with inflammatory
rheumatism for many years, ray favorable at
tention was called to Hood's Sarsaparilla by an
advertisement of cures it had effected. I have
now used three bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla
and csn already testify to beneficial results. I
highly recommend it as a great blood purifier."
J. C. Ayres, VestBloomfi.eld. N. Y.
"I bad rheumatism so that when I sat or laid
down I could hardly cet np. Hood's Sarsapar
illa has almost cured me." P. CARNES.Galion.O.
N. B. If you make up your mind to try
Hood's Sarsaparilla, do not buy any other.
