DEMI-MONDE ACTRESSES.

Raid Upon the Creatures Who Bring
Disrepute on the Stage.
The New York Star says in it's weekly
gossip of the stage and players: "The raid
of women of the demi-monde on the stage
has taken form in an open demonstration,
the result of late strategic movements on
their part. Another one of them, notorious
creature of this city, is to make her debut in
first-class theatre during the next fort
night There is likely to be futter in con-
sequence, but there are several birds of sim
liar feather on our stage, and it is not likely
that the profession can be made too warm
for the new artistic, besides she
dresses well and needs no salary
No manager could pay such woman
enough to make 1t an object to her to work
on the stage. Persons of her class prefer to
work without any salary for the simple priv
ilege of making the stage showroom for
too, who wine and dine managers, and who
try to buy up criticism in their behalf.
These are men of the first society men
whose names are often seen in print, coupled
with honorable speculations and words of
compliment 1t is considered the style of
thing for young bloods of the first families
to initiate London nobility by doing the
honorable thing to their cast-off mistresses,
which generally m cans paying for their dra-
matte education in Fanny Morant's school,
and buying their way to the stage, to the
shame and humiliation of the honest, hard
working ladies of talent who seek to earn an
honest livelihood in the profession. The re-
suit of this course on the part of the man
ayers is inevitable. AS money can do any
n a vii Ia WI
have plenty of money to back them, it will
not require over two seasons more to drive
all respectable women from the stage. The
favorite argument of the aristocratic bloods
to caviling newspaper man is: "Y ou would not
be the first to throw stone at a Magdalen,
would you?' And this generally silences
him, and so the newcomer from bagnio is
assured that she may disport herself without
fear of having any prejudices awakened in
the minds Of the public by illusions to her
mode of llfe.''

New York Statistics.
New York Times.1

It will, we imagine, surprise most New
Workers to learn that, according to the last
census of this Sta,e, 1869 families are now
living in log cabins. OF the other dwell
ings, 598, ,031 are built of wood, 98,29O of
brick, and 1878 of stone. More than one
half of all these cost less than $4,000
apiece; more than one-third less than
$1,000, and 1854 less than $50 each,
showing that any extravaganza which in
terror New-Yorkers may have is not of an
architectural order. In the county OF city
of New York, houses, as may be supposed,
have much more value than in the
country, 56,Ol0 having cost 5000 and up
ward. Indeed, the dwellings of the metropo-
lis alone have cost about as much as all the
rest of the State. OF 1,536,727 New-York-
ers, 351 1928 are farmers or farm hands. OF
the working women of the State, one-half,
or 137,416 of them, are house-servants.
Over $4,000 men earn their bread as day
laborers. There are 5O,1O3 clerks,
4O4O6 tailors and seamstresses- Celibacy
seems to be in favor with New Workers.

HE Chicago merchants are about to start
on an expedition to Mexico with the purpose
of capturing the trade of that country. ST..
Louis in the meantime is debating the ques-
ton of extending her railroad lines to
Omaha in the hope of capturing some of
the trade that now rolls on from the Pacific
to Chicago, by issuing three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in bonds in aid of q
branch line. There is parallel to those
two cities very near home. While st. Paul
has secured the trade of vast tract of coun.
try, and is stretching her arms out for more
commercial worlds to conquer, neighbor-
ing city is talking about bonding herself to
build narrow gauge lines of railroad to tap
our arteries. Both Chicago and st. Paul
can afford to lose little blood in recompense
for the great gain they will receive from the
opening of new avenues of trade. St.
Louis efforts will not injure Chicago, nor
will Minneapolis frantic splurges injure ST.
Paul On the contrary, all the lines which
Minneapolis builds will find their terminus
at ST. Paul.

The season has been dull one in New York

hereditary nobility could go further. Imagine

magnificent hail, furnished in different colors
and filled with works of art, and of course

''Herself the fairest fower,'
Miss Astor is a singe-minded, sensible su-
perior girl, with brilliant black eyes, lighted
from behind. She very pretty, petite, and
yet not too small. Her own modest worth
makes all this power and splendor seem IN
yet the groom is handsomely endowed with the

grateful for the two Mrs. Astors. Their man
ners are most cordial, gracious and dignifed
They dispense the immense wealth of their
husbands in elegant manner which cannot
but give tone to our Republican society.
Mrs. John J. Astor is a woman Of high cuIti-
vation, very intense convictions, exhaustive
knowledge of art and a prodigious worker. She
is charitable to degree and has a fine, stately
old-word courtesy, which is very becoming and
rare. She condescends to dress beautifully,
and with perfect fitness to herself-although
dignifed lady of high degree.
Mrs. William Astor is tall, elegant and state

possible. She becomes her diamonds, and she
and her lovely daughters make pretty picture
at the opera. Her young people keep her in
the front ranks of gayety, yet she too finds time
for much unostentatious charity. I hear no
one speak ill of either lady; they both fill their
ing enemies, always making friends. Her

Albert Ed,card,s Ne,o Estate IN Wales.
London World. .

The prince of Wales will create quite SEN
satlon in Bardland on taking possession of his
Breconshire polting estate. To have a real
prince of Wales in Wales itself will be quite an
original experience, and the loyal Weishmen
are already on the war-path. The Free-Masons
in the eastern division of South Wales, under
their popular P. G. NJ. Sir George Elliot, have
concerted measures for the receptions of their
royal brother and master. If the prince Is as
good brother Of the angle as he Is of the
square, he will have rare sport, seeing that all
round Brecon are concentrated the finest trout
and salmon streams in England and Wales.
The Welsh will insist upon attributing to the
Earl of Beaconsfeld some of the credit of this
eminently popular purchase. IF the Druids
will only leave him alone, the prince will get
on well with his Welsh neighbors. Patti, it
may be remembered, has a house near Bridg-
end.

THE MINNEAPOLIS WHEAT RING.
Last fall if complaint was made against the
manner of grading and fixing the price Of
wheat by the abominable brass three-quart
tester, howl of derision was raised by
Washburn's hireling supporters, and the Re-
publican newspapers denounced it as a sspo-
litical dodge" to defeat Washburn, one of the
millers.
But the subject could not, and did not,
drop with the closing of the campaign.
Farmers are getting more and more aware
of the outrageous dealing they get. They
know they are being taken advantage of,
every time they sell a bushel of wheat to
this millers' ring. They are grinding their
teeth at the swindle, and are looking for a
remedy.
Ii, Alexandria, Douglas county, the farm
ers and merchants became SO exasperated
with the exactions of the ring, (Which graded
55 pound wheat No. 3 and paid 38 cents)
that they held mass meeting and decided
to build citizens elevator, store and ship
their own wheat. The next day the millers'
ring graded higher and raised the price l6
cents, but the farmers knew the game and
went right on with their plan.
Lately the decree has gone forth from the
millers' headquarters to grade all wheat No.
3 that falls under 56 pounds. It has been
customary to deduct few pounds per
bushel when it lacked little of Sc, and
grade No. Q.
The result of the new rule is that little
wheat grades anything but No. and with
prices from 25 to 35 cents. The fact is mill
ers know that farmers in debt must sell at
what they can get. The association pays
its own price and farmers have to submit.
It is making paupers of debt loaded farm
ers, taking their farms and property to satis-
fy mortgages, and depriying them and their
families of absolute life necessities.
Grain raising is the life and pride of Min
nesota. 1t must be protected.
Because the Minneapolis millers lost heav-
lily from the explosion, and Washburn sunk
thousands in his campaign, is no reason why
farmers should be made to pay it.

LMcb Of a Kentucky LadN--She Suddenly
Discovers That She as the Heiress to a
TatHd6te Estate tn Tecas.
About forty years ago a man named John
@. Clark, poor farmer of Indiana, whose
circumstances became worse each year,
picked up his traps and abandoned his fam
lily, consisting of wife and two little girls,
and striking toward the Wabash river, hired
himself out as fatboatmen and shipped for
New Orleans. From New Orleans he drifted to
Texas, and that was the last ever heard of
him by his family until they heard of his
death, which occurred about fifteen years
ago. His wife was then dead and both his
children had married, one remaining in
Indiana, where she now lives, the other re-
moving to Kentucky and locating in
Hardin county, about three miles below
Stephensburg.
When Clark died he owned an estate in
land an money valued at something near
So, 100000, in Wharton and Richmond
counties, which, in the absence of any known
heirs, escheated to the State. AS Clark had
never communicated with any of his family,
and they were ignorant of his Whereabouts,
except through emigrants, who had often
seen him in Texas, they were never apprised
absence in Texas he had prospered IN way
and had amassed such a fortune. When it
became noised abroad in Texas that the man
Clark had died, leaving an estate of such
magnitude, and no heirs to claim it, bogus
heirs at once began to spring up, and nu-
merous suits entered to recover it from
the State, all of which were unsuccessful.
1t was only few days since that one of
the rightful heirs, Mrs. Marinda Buckles,
wife of Asa Buckles, Esq, who was daugh-
ter of Clark, and came to Hardin county after
her marriage some thirty years ago, received
by reading an account of the suits to recover
the money, the first intelligence that she
mad received of her fathers death and
the fortune awaiting her claims. She put
herself at once in communication with her
sister iD Indiana, and confded her plans to
lawyers, who will at once set about proving
Mrs. Buckles and her sister as the lawful
heirs of John G. Clark, the Texas million
aire. The estate is intact, none of the
claimants thus far having been able to prove
their title to it, and Mrs. Buckles and her
sister, who can set up rightful claim, will
como in for good round 81, 500, 900 each.
