SIR HENRY HERBERT.

Sir Henry Herbert, NJ. P, the owner Of
the most valuable estate in Ireland, on which
are located the famous lakes Of Killarney,
reached Baltimore yesterday evening from
Europe, and registered at the Mount Vernon
hotel. Readers will recall the facts of the
futter caused in Baltimore society circles
growing out of the gossip that followed the
postponement of Sir Herbert's wedding with
Miss Williams, society belle, and the
abrupt departure of the Irish NJ P, for his
home. The couple met at Newport last
summer, became engaged, and Mr.. Herbert
accompanied the Williams family to Balti.
more, and was cordially received in fashion
able circles and at the leading clubs Cards
for the wedding were issued, but day or
two before the time appointed for the nup-
tials it was announced that the wedding had
been indefinitely postponed The explana-
ton offered by the Williams family was that
Miss Williams, while riding a spirited horse,
had strained her back so severely as to con-
fine her to her room. There were, however,
rumors widely circulated to the effect that
the marriage settlements as proposed were
not satisfactory, and the fact that Sir Her
bert had been divorced from his first wife
in the matrimonial muddle. Miss Williams
is an heiress in her own right to halfa mil.
lion, and her father Hon. George H. Will
liams, president Of the Maryland Senate is
q millionaire. With the departure of Sir
Herbert the gossip ceased, but only to be
revived by his unexpected temperance
Yesterday. He was a caller at the
Williams mansion, but as Miss Williams is
still reported rs beinga close invalid it is not
likely at all that he saw her. 1t is reported
that the engagement has been finally broken
and that there will be no wedding, but IF
this is the case" say the society gossips,
what has Sir Herbert returned 60 Balti-
more for? -

of the Senate too much to heart. 1t was Il

cans But men have survived a greater snub-
bing. Mr.. Gorham has allowed the ingrat-
itudc of the republican senators to so prey
upon his mind that he has become frenzed,
and he raves at the Southern people as
though Lee, Jackson and Early were again
threatening the national capital. In bis
paper of to-day, he says:

public enemy. The bourbon despotism thus
created can no more be displaced by voting

HOW THE sTRADDLER DOES THINGS.
Mr.. Sage is straight as a reed, polite.
genteel, and he does not seem hurried or
look overworked. He goes to bed at $50
or 10 every night, and sleeps nine or ten
hours. A story is told me on the street on
excellent authority. At recent meeting
of the board of audit of the Western Union
Cyrus W. Field interrupted an explanation
by the secretary, with, "There! There!
That's all right, of course. Go on to the
next business" He is always in hurry.
Mr.. Sage responded, ''I want to hear all this
matter. We are placed here as judges. If
any gentleman is in such hurry as to be
unable to listen, propose that he be ex
cused from attending" Mr.. Field subsidized.
THE GOLDEN FUTURE.
"May 1 ask your opinion about the
present financial situation?" 1 inquired of
Mr.. Sage.
Certainly" he answered, and he put his
hands in his pockets and walked the room.
''Yo may say that 1 think we may look for
continued and increasing prosperity. Oars
is trem endous country, full of riches not
yet touched. The railroads are prospecting
and paying large dividends. All the signs
are favorable. During the next ten years
the West is going to lave a growth that
will sstonish her own people. The tide is
turned, and there will be boom this next
summer. 1 am trimming my sails on that
theory, and you can say SO if you want to.
More of my money is in railroad stocks
than ever before, because believe there is
going to be rise in all sorts of property"
And took my leave.
Perhaps I ought to have said in the
proper place that 'put" is the privilege
of selling at certain stipulated price at
certain stipulated time. and "call' the
privilege of buying at a certain stipulated
price; while ''straddle'' is the privilege of
combining the two.
While people on the street constantly
talk about Russell Sage's ''luck," the talk
is superficial; everybody knows that it is
pluck and not luck, shrewdness and brains
and not fate, that has enabled him to &C
cumulate colossal fortune, fling it upon
the food of Wall street, and not only keep
but constantly increase it in that maelstrom
of treason and Hadss of lying.

NEWHALL HOUSE RELIEVES.

Resignation of Henry Lippert, Chief of the
Milwaukee Fire Departmental Test
Suit for Damages Against the PrOprietors
ofthe Inflated Hotel.
MILWAUKEE, March, Henry Lippert,
chief of the fire department, widely known
through the United States, resigned to-
day, giving ill-health as the cause. Friends
state that mean attacks since the Newhall
fire is the main cause. The mayor tried
in vain to persuade Lippert to reconsider,
even offering several months vacation for
Incorporation.
This afternoon papers in the suit of
John Gilbert, against the owners of the
NewhaIl house were fled. The amount of
damage asked is $2O,5O0, the odd $500
coming In for medical attendance which
plaintiff needed, and the main amount for
the loss of his wife in the fire. The COM
plant is very Voluminous. The main point
is that the building was on fire often, and
only shortly previously to its destruction;
chat despite this, defendants failed and
neglected to provide suitable means OF
escape and means for alarming guests,and
watchmen to direct them out. The result
of the suit is looked for with good deal
of interest as it is understood to be test
case.

GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, March 1.-Commenting on the
application for the extradition of Sheri-
dan, the Pau Mail Gazette says: When
Russia wished Europe to refuse an asylum
TO nihilisUs, the Austrian Fremder6taH de-
clared that such demand would give Eu-
rope the right to ask Russia to terminate
the regime which produced n1hlllsm. Ii
would be unpleasant If the United States
government addressed similar suggestion
to Lord Granville, foreign secretary. Ii
the demand for the extradition of Sheridan
is based solely on the fact OF his
belonging to the Invlnclbles, 1t stands
exactly on the same footing as If Russia
had asked for the surrender OF Prince
Krapotkine. Not even success IN securing
the surrender of Sheridan would atone for
the abandonment of the position with re-
gard to eItradition which we have hereto
fore maintained in favor of Europe. II
would be even worse if the position were
abandoned only to obtain humilisting re-
buff.

Frenchman would contend that the case OF
the Phoenix park murderers was covered
by the privilege extended to political Of
tenders and asserted in Great Britain in the
case of Orsni, who attempted the life of
the Emperor Napoleon in 1853, but the
Times says if only completely in the Or
ganization of a secret society is alleged
against Byrne and Sheridan their extradi-
ton will possibly be refused.
