LANGJRY'S MASH"
The Rich Young Swell Upon whom the
LNy Smiled. -'

NEW YORK, December 6-Erederick
Gebhardt,. who is the man in the case in
trouble between Mrs. Langtry and Mrs.
Labouchsre, is ynung fellow but twenty
four years of age, whose rich daddy left an
estate that brings him an income ot $4,000
a year. He belones,to all the tony clubs,
has a stable of fast horses, and is
quite young swell. He was
the first New Yorker to pay
Mrs. Langtry attention, and his stable
of flyers was at hsr disposal. last week
he took her out hiding. If reports are
true, young Gebhardt is somewhat litter
ate. He is missing from New York Just
now and it is said he went to Boston the
same day as Mrs. Langtry, and has not yet
returned. Several of Gebhardt's friends
at the club have been interviewed. Mr..
Wright Sanford, in alluding TO the adven-
ture of his friend said that Gebhardt was
a deyilsh good fellow and he felt awfully
sorry he hod made such an internal fool of
himself in following Mrs. Langtry 10 Bos-
ton. Pierre Lorillard was somewhat re-
tiqent about the matter. He said that Geb-
hardt had acknowledged to him that he
was
oCIean Gone
on the Lily" but that he never supposed
that he would have carried things to such
an extreme as to follow her to the Hub.
VIM. II. Travers says: FREDDY Is awtully
gone on Mrs. Langtry, but l suppose he
will soon get over it," But Gebhardt is
not the only New York mash Mrs. Laugtry
made. 1t is just reported that George J.
Gould, son OF Jay Gould, made
Mrs. Langtry present of a $1,000
diamond before her departure There
are some here who say that lay
doesn't believe it. 81 knew something was
going 10 happen" Oscar Wilde is reported
to have said when the newspapers began to
relate that Mrs. Langtry and Mrs, La
bouchere had parted. when | was talk

Then again she came to the theatre the
other evening looking very pale and I'M

opinion so generally expressed by the peo-
pie in some parts of this district that Col.

candidate for the seat made vacant by the

considerably by the statement that, after
the adjournment OF the convention at
which Taylor was defeated, he evidently
soured on the party, as he took no
part in the campaign. The dissenina-

PRESIDENT JARRETT.
The Prospect of an Early Revival in
Trade.

CHICAGO, December 6.-PriSident Jarrett
claimed that his visit to this city had no
signlfcannce- He merely stopped here on
his way to st. Louis.
When questioned as to the feeling gen.
orally among the steel workerS and as to
the condition Of the mills throughout the
country, he replied:
ASA rule the steel workers appreciate
the difficulties OF the mill owners, and are
quite satisfied. The mills throughout the
country. more or less are not working up
to their usual capacity, but | hear very lit
tie talk OF shutting down. Tho dullness
in steel seems to have created quite fu-
rore, but see no reason why it should.
This is the dull season, and ii a rolling mill
shuts down at all it is very likely TO do so
at thiS,Seaso expect that between the
middle of January and the first of Februa-
~, the market will be revived, and If 1t is
it will be but a repetition OF the pro-
gramme OF former years. The experience
of former years leads me to this opinion,
and another reason is that the crops have
been very good. That always has an effect
upon the iron and steel business. The ef-
feet of the crops will begin to be felt about
the middle of January"
What is the cause OF
The Present Low Prices?"
There is none that | can see. II the
steel manufacturers were associated as are
the nail manufacturers they could obtain
higher prices. The only reason | can see
for the low prices is that the eastern and
western manufacturers are competing with
each other and cutting rates.
"Will the trouble in steel have any effect
upon the price of iron?"
"It. has not effected il yet, but l think it
will. By reducing the carbon in the steel
from % to s or 10 per cent. almost any
article can be made from it, and ii the
prices continue as they are the steel manu-
facturers may turn their attention that
way"
How do the men here regard the 20 per
cent. reduction
They are willing to accept it. The only
trouble is that the workmen want to fix
the rate until May /, while the mauufac-
turers wish to fix the late for the whole
year
"How will the market be effected II the
tariff is reduced or removed
The market will be ruined if the tariff
is tampered with. J think, however. the
tariff on steel rails might be reduced from
the present figure, SOS, to about S22.40, or
to cent per pound, with impunity.
