EJECT OF the New Tariff On Matches.
NEW YORK. July 6.-For several days
down town streets have been alive with
cries Of Matches, penny a box" With
ia the past three days 5000 groas
Of matches Of all sizes and shapes have
been sold in this city by agents of the
factories. The cause of the large sale 10
that the manufacturers are no longer
obliged to pay q tax ON their goods.
Last Monday the price of ordinary luci-
fer matches fell frsm 81. 20 gross to 80
oents, but the demand was 10 great that
the manufacturers rrised the price for
them TO 10 cents. and even then there was
danger of running short of the demand.
All KINDS depreciatel greatly in price,
and there Ia no probability that whole
sale prices for them will raise.

speaking Of the personal attractions of
Mrs. Lsngtry and her Sag" a. Gsb-
hardt il termed, says: The Lily is not
out of sight Of New York, although she
may have dropped out Ut mind with
other people. She rides down TO the
races Of the Coney Ialand Jockey Ciub,
atop Of Freddie Gebhardt's four-,n-
hand coach. She looks moro nearly
beautiful m coisperod with the women
about her than when seen ON the stage,
for her wondrously smooth skin and
delicate complexion suffer nothing from
tho glare Of the midday sunlight. A
man with back like turtle and face
like a boiled lobster joined her in the
box during Freddie's absence and
ohattsd with her. He proved TO be a
theatrical spectator. Whom Freddie
returned she showed no disposition TO
dismiGs the man In q hurry, and he got
70 jealously angry that his state of mind
was plainly visible In his face. Mrs.
Langtry smiled ooversly. and seemed 70
enjoy his discontinue: but the Lily had
her own turn of anger. After the
races we're over, Freddie took her 70
his coach. and ON tho way had 10 pass
