New YORK, Nov. 27.-Richardson, the
artist who takes pictures for sarony, was
asked yesterday about Langtry's photo
graphs. He said:
"i'ye been devoting the last three Sun
days TO her. Last Sunday / made forty
negatives Of her."
'Did she talk very much while here"
ooh, bless you, no. We cracked hes
right through, so that she didn't get any
time for that. Forty negatives in an hour
and half is pretty quick work, let me tell
you. IL was hurry -scurry all the time.
oh, we ratified her right along"

women in your day, on account OF your
business. Now, do you think she is beau

"What7n he replied, swapping bis braces
AGAINST his shoulders; "whv not much.
Ten years a go when Fanny Davenport was
in her prime. she was much more beautiful
than Mrs. Langtry. There was something
grand and majestic and beautiful about
her. She couldn't be beaten. She il she
most beautiful woman ever photographed.
Mrs. Langtry Is what j call charming, but
not beautiful; oh, no."

Why JAY Gould Wants a Yacht.

WAsmNoroN, Nov. 26.-The Capital says:
tramp is the man who is building Jay
Gould's new steam yacht. He tells me
that his contract with Gould is not to give
him any definite number of knots, but to
do the best that can be done with a vessel
2l2 feet long, with fixed breadth of beam.
He SAYS that Could cannot bear to be tan
talized. There is a New York silk dealer
named Jarrett, who lives above Gould on
the Hudson. He has a J acht III feet long,
which habituallv passes Gould's present
Yacht on the river. Jarret, IL seems, has a
vicious way of coming down. aud firing a
gun as he passes Gould's landing. Then,
when he passes him on the river, he beck
ons to him in a hooking and dreadful way
from the deck OF his yacht. Gould has no
idea of going around the world, but he
does intend to stop this impertinence on
the part of Jarrett. The new yacht will be
nearly all boilers and engines, and will
probably be The fastest vessel ever built

A prominent Wall stree man, familiar to a
large degree with Mr.. Weeds business af-
fairs, said yesterday: 1T was not until he
had reached the age CT 30 that Mr.. Weed
seemed to realize the value of money. Be-
fore that time he was almost indifferent on
the subject of money.making. His fortune
was accumulated after he had passed the
time when a man usually takes keen in
terest in the question of lettering his iinan-
cial condition. / should say that when
Mr.. Weed died his income in had been
ranging at about $4,000 q year. con-
slider mans income to be the best test of
what he is worth, and therefore prefer to
use that figure rather than to estimate
what the principal of this property is
worth. His estate is of character that
cen readily be converted into cash.
"Mr. Weed made his fortune by wise and
careful investments, and the reinvestment
of their accrued profits. When his income
was, say $4,000 a year, he would spend
only 10000, and would put the remainder

principally of frst.rate railroad mortgage
bonds. He owned TO some extent railroad
stocks. He held no cats and dogs though,
as we say on the street. He never was any
thing of a speculator, and he did not make
his money by any bold or fortunate stroke:
What he bought he always paid
for, taking IL as g matter Of invest
ment. He owned some considerable
amounts of DRY Dock, East Broadway and
Battery, and Third Avenue Surface rail-
road stock. He bought some Third avenue
stock when its price was about $50, and
now the price is ten times that figure. he
held considerable amounts Of government
bonds at times, but do not think there is
over $4,000 in his estates to-day.
"Mr. Weed never was a heavy owner OF
real estate, and be had little Of that kind Of
property when he died. He owned hand
some country seat ct Croton, New YorK,
adjoining the property owned by Samuel
Sinclair. This Croton real estate Mr.. Weed
bought about ten years ago. 1t is fully
worth $4,000. He owned his house on
west Twelfth street, which he paid $4,000
for. This property he bought in 1865, when
he removed from Albany TO this city. He
also was possessed Of some lands in Michi-
gan, Minnesota and other western states.
These be purchased several years ago. Mr..
Weed held some back stock. "-lGath in

BITS FOR THE BABIES.

Dainty Gifts That May be Placed in tn
Christmas Stockings.
Gifts made to the baby who is yet too
young to appreciate tokeus Of atfectionate
regard, are of course welcomed by the
mother. Simple and inexpensive gifts of
this sort are the little bibs of feece-lined
pique. The edges may be button-holed IN
scallops, with white or with the scarlet or
blue working cotton, which is warranted
not to fade, and which really will
not do so; or very pretty ones are made OF
thick muslin, two thicknesses, with thin
layer of cotton between; quilt these in
small squares or diamonds; in the centre
leave a space large enough so that if yon
choose you can embroider the word baby"
or the initial of name, or q Hover. The
edge may be scalloped in buttonhole stitch,
or durable edging may be sewed on.
The daintiest socks now made are OF silk,
knit Just as the little worsted ones are;
they are not so seryiceable for cold weather,
as the worsted ones, but to adorn
ect can be devised; little very
soft cotton should be stuffed in them, so
that they will stand upright, but do not let
it show at the top, or above where the tas-
sells are tied.
A lovely blanket is made of soft white
flannel, with q narrow hem, to which is
sewed an edge knit out of split zephyr. In
each corner of the blanket some figure is
embroidered in the delicate outline stitch;
it is pretty fancy, in two corners, in SOFT
blue silk, TO work figures of the Kate Green
away style and in the other two to put
sprays of flowers. Make use of one color

Frightened to Death.

JEFF. Smith, colored man 40 years old,
was sent to the city hospital on the 18th in
slant, whero ne remained four days and
died.
Last night reporter Of the Courier
Journal called at the hospital and inquired
of Drs. MefIert and Gaillard the cause of
his death.
~ think he was frightened to DEATH"
said DR.. Metfert.
upon what ground do you base such
conclusion? ?" asked the reporter.
81 think that some one had told him be-
fore he came here that he was going to die.
The morning he came he told me In most
emphatic terms that he would die in few
days that nothing could cure him. / en-
deayored to dssuade him from such ideas,
and told him that | would have him up in
few days, but he persstently held to his
belief. He was assigned to ward, and |
had charge of it: He looked up, at me
very much as if something had given
him a terrible fright. l made an
examination of his case and saw I'M
mistakable symptoms of typhoid fever.
He said to me then: doctor, you amt
going to give me any medicine, for you
know Pm going to die?" told him | was
going to give him medicine. and that he
