Somewhere in this big city titer ts stowed away a cardinal's carriage- lumbering but gorgeous equipage, lac quered in scarlet and gold, lined with satin and having elevated seats for footmen before and behind, says the New York Mall and Express. It cost $10.ink, weighs about a ton and was built for the first American cardinal, John Mel'loskey, Archbishop of New York, and nobody was more astonish ed than that modest ecclestlimtlc when one day It rolled up to bis home, on Madison avenue. Tho carriage was a present to the cardinal from a little coterie of Catho lics then prominent in New York so ciety, Including James Gordon Ben nett, Ixnils von Hoffman, the banker; Mrs. Fred. Stevens, afterward March ioness de Talleyrand l'erlgord; the late Judge John It. Brady and Gen. dl Cesnola, director of the Metropolltnu Museum of Art. They felt It incum bent on them ot help maintain the state and dignity of the newly created I'rince of the Church, especially If thereby the Catholic set In (Jotham might acquire something of the eclat attaching to the surroundings of car dinals in the Eternal City. Not only did they defray the cost of building a state carriage on the most approved models in Furls and bringing t across the Atlantic, they also pur chased a handsome pair of horses and subscribed an ample fund for the main tenance of all this gorgeousnesB. Had they not done so It would have been a white elephant sort of gift to Cardinal Mct'loskey. A man of simple and democratic tastes, he gave away the larger part of his Income In charity and was very apt to neglect his own personal needs. The worthy prelate was more aston ished than delighted with the gift; he would have much preferred to ride In a cab or even a horse car. But If one cannot look a gift horse In the mouth, how much less can one be ungracious when given a carriage and footmen complete! He accepted his fate meek ly, and even rode in the wonderful car riage once. It had no sooner turned into Mul berry street on the way to the old cathedral there than it was surround ed by a crowd of small boys, who ran after it, yelling: "Hey, Chlmmie, get on to de circus waggin:" One who caught a glimpse of his Eminence railed out: 'Ier musician's on de Inside." And that was the first and the last trip of the lirst American cardinal's state carriage. lie went home In a cab. "What an opportunity for organizing patriotic orders In South America!" said the man with the blue and white button. "Membership would be more nearly universal than the suffrage, and a South American's coat would look like a buton-rnnl. In this con nection, I am reminded of the fun I had one summer in a Western New York village. The villager had an cestral fever, and eagerly grasped my suggestion that they form an order to be christened, "Sons of the Survivors of the I-ast Voyage of Ilenrlk Hud son." I have never gone back to the town, for. after incorporating, the pro jectors of the order thumbed their his tories and discovered that the last ex pcd.tlon of the Dutch voyager was caught by the ice In Hudson Bay, and that there were no survivors." Two elderly men, one short, ths other tall, got Into a row In Washing ton Market the other day and a cli max was renched when the short man Bald, apparently with great warmth: "You threaten me? You will not harm a hair of my head." "Yes I will, and I'll do it mighty quick, too," responded the other hotly. "You will not harm a hair In ray head." "I will." The short man quickly removed his hat, displaying a glistening pate, on which not a hair could be seen. The roar of derisive laughter that arose from the marketmen caused the tall man to vanish suddenly. On the Glee and Ball Clubs. Ilolison How is your brother doing t college? Iiodson Fine.
