TINE BELlEoF THE AsroR HOUSE

The guf!ts Of the Aston House
yesterday nsfe startled to see what
was apparently an enormous woman
walking about the parlers and hail
ways. She wore handsome black
silk dress, cut decollette and termi-
mating in a long train. Fine lace
ruching around the throat half con
cealed q SNOWY neck. Around her
bead and neck in graceful folds was
wound white zephyr CLOUD" This
person did not disdain occasionally
TO reveal pair Of shapely feet in
cased in morocco slippers and pink
stockings. There was only one
thing about her which savorcd Of
mystery. No one knew where she
came from nor when she arrived.
During the evening she sailed into
the dining room and took a seat at
one of the tables. Detective Kerwin
Of the Church street station, hap
pened to be in the dining room at
the time, and lie regarded the indi-
vidual with curiosity. The head
waiter, James T. Smith, told the de-
tectivc that she Was an object Of
mystery, and he kept watch on the
person. About 1880 o'clock the
supposed woman accidentally tiisar
ranged her cloud, disclosing iron
gray whiskers. The detective then
arrested the curiosity. Giving a
fair imitation Q! feminine shrek,
the masquerader attempted to run.
The detective quickly drew away
the zephyr cloud, and the prisoner
subsided. He begged to be allowed
to change his clothes for his own
-
apparel, and the officer accompanied
him to his room. While changing
his clothes the fellow gave his rea-
sons for wearing female apparel.
He said that he lately lost his vile,
aud the only way he could feel she
was near bin was by putting on his
wifs's clothing. He arrived at the
Astor House yesterday morning and
registered as Anthony Elten, Of Phil
adelphia. He said he was a mer-
chant in the Quaker City. The
clerk assigned him to room No. 1876,
md saw no more of him. He was
veil dressed, aud his features re

The Longfellow Memorial.

A cable dispatch to the .ALta states that the
movement for the erection of a memorial to
Longfellow makes great progress in England in
spite of the objections of Il small clique to hav-
ing the bust of any foreigner set up in West
minister Abbey, as if memorials had not already
been erected to other foreigners of whom not one
educated Englishman in a hundred ever heard.
A representative of the workingmen of England
declared at a recent meeting of the committee
that LongfeIlow was more widely read and more
highly priced by the working classes in England
than any other modern poet. 1t should be said
that the people who object to having his bust
placed in the Abbey are strongly in favor of
setting up n statue on some of the public thor
oughfares of London, the desire to pay respect
to the poet Longfellow being in reality universal.
More than enough money has already been sub
scribed to put up either a bust or statue, and ten
times as much could be had without the slightest

Ladies and Vinegar.

Taken in moderation, there is n" doubt that
vinegar is beneficial; but in excess it impairs the
digestive organs. Experiments OH artificial diges-
ton show that if the quantity of acid be dimin-
ished, digestion is retarded; if increased beyond
n certain point, digestion is arrested. There Is
reason, therefore, in the vulgar notion, unhap-
PLY too often relied on, that vinegar helps to
keep down any alarming adiposity, and that
ladies who dread the disappearance of their
graceful outlines in curves of plumpnesse expand
ing into fat may arrest so dreadful "A result by
liberal potations of vinegar; but they can only so
arrest it at the far more dreadful expense of their
health. The amount of acid which will keep
them thin will destroy their digestive powers.
Portal gives a case which should be a warning:
"A few years since a young lady in easy circum-
stances enjoyed good health; she WAS very
plump, had a good appetite, and a complexion
blooming with roses and lilies. She began to
look upon her plumpness with suspicion, for her
mother was very fat, and she was afraid of being
like her. Accordingly, she consulted q woman
who advised her to drink a glass of vinegar
daily. The young lady followed her advice, and
her plumpness diminished. She was delighted
with the success of her experiment, and con-
tinued 1t for more than u month. She began to
have a cough; it was dry at its commencement,
and was considered as a slight cold, which would
go off Meantime, from dry it became moist; a
slow fever came on, and a difficulty in breathing;
her body became lean and wasted away; nig.t
sweats and swelling of the legs and feet sue
ceeded, and a diarrhoea terminated her life. y
Therefore, young ladies', be boldly fat Never
pine for graceful slimnesS and romantic pallor,
but II Nature intends you TO be ruddy and ro-
tund, accept it with q laughing grace, which will
captivate more hearts than all the paleness of a
circulating library.

Burning of Abbey's Park Theater in New
York.

Abbey's Park Theater took fire on the after
noon OF October so, and was totally destroyed.
The fire started in the proscenium, in the rear of
the second tier of boxes on the right of the stage.
1t is believed to have been caused by a gas ex-
plosion. The flames spread with great rapidity.
caught the drop curtain, and drove from the
building the stage hands. who were setting the
stage. They previously made a vain effort to
put out the ire with extinguishers, but they
would not work. Henry Clark, a stage hand,
was burned n endeavoring to lower the drop
curtain. He jumped from the rear window into
Broadway, from q height of 20 feet, and had his
leg broken. Mrs. Langtry was to have appeared
there that evening. Her costumes for an "Un-
equal Match, the play in which she was to make
her first appearance in America, were burned.
together with the costumes of all the other mem
bers of the company, and some very valuable
scenery. Nothing was saved. Mrs. Langtry
and Mrs. Labouchere watched the fire from the
balcony of the AIbemarle Hotel, two blocks
away. The loss is now estimated at $500, 600.
The origin of the fire is obscure. Much delay
was caused by the failure of the automatic
alarms on the stage to work, likewise the fire
extinguishers. When they arrived the flames
were bursting through the roof, and the build
ing was doomed. Mrs. Langtry had just finished
packing the wardrobe in which she was to
appear in the evening, and in the very act of
sending 1t to the theater when the fire broke on E.
Abbey Immediately made arrangements to open
Monday night in the Grand Opera House, with
Mrs. Langtry in the Unequal Match" The
theatre was small bat deliberately decorated.
The main entrance was on Broadway, through a
three-story building, in which were stores and
offices, and on the third floor the property room.
1t was an old building. The theater itself was
built in 1874. 1t had been newly frescoed and
upholstered, III preparation for Mrs. Langtry's
debut. The scenery for the play was costly and
elaborate, especially that for the second act,
being painted on satin and hand embroidered
There had been no rehearsal, but merely a
scene arranged for Mrs. Langtry. Abbey was
