a connoisseur in art, and is taking great care in
her selection. Women who practical artists
can do this sort of work for themselves, and
there is room for the exercise of much indi-

THE obituary column of the Philadelphia
Ledger does not, apparently, cast any shadow
over the festivities INDUCED in by its editor, Mr.
George Washington Childs. That gentleman
and his wife gave dinner to Madame Nilsson,
the other night some of the decorations and APP
purtenances of which are thus described:
"a mass of ice in the center of the table was
carved to represent group of dogs playing diff
ferent musical instruments. Every lady re-
ceived bouquet and, in addition, as souve-
mir, piece of royal Worcester china, basket
shaped, and each decorated with different va
riety of flower. In front of every plate was a
natural leaf, large polished, and of dark green,
and on this was painted by hand, in gold letters,
the name of the guest and the date. Attached
to every leaf was bunch of what seemed to be
cherries, but really the shells of filbert
nuts, which, when cracked. proved to contain
perfumed French candy drops and verses of po-
etry."
Whether or not the verses were obituary po-
etry is not stated, but at all events, Madame
Nilsson declared it one of the most charming
dinners she had ever attended.

If you want to know anything about anything
in the amatory line just inquire of Brooklyn
preacher. Here is what one of them says about
courtship:
cat the proper time and under the proper cir
cumstances, courtship is simply virtue nesting
her sweet young face in the bosom of innocence;
and in tenderness, in pure, warm affection,
modastly allying herself to, growing up with
and gathering strength and life from the Kindred
graces of a fellow-soul; really, reason inspired
by love wooing to itself an atiinityin the adapta-
tons Of nature"
He must have had in mind the case of the
Giving skeleton" who wooed and won the
giantess in New York museum recently.

IT is the general opinion that a writer and es-
pecidlly poet, should as quickly recognize his
literary productions as his offspring in the flesh.
recent incident connected with poem of Mr..
Swinburne's shows that this is not always the
case. The poet wrote to a London periodical de-
nying that he was the author of a certain poem.
Thereupon the individual through whom it had
been made public came to the front with the
original manuscript in Swinburne's own hand,
with other indisputable proof that he had writ
ten the verses and presented them to friend.
1t was not that the poet wished to disown the
production from any supposed inferiority to his
own, but simply that he had completely forgot
ten it and failed to recognize his own style

Hon.. Robert C, winthrop Diving.

Boston, Dec. 1Z-Hon. Robert G. Winthrc-.
the distinguished orator and statesman, is dying
Of pneumonia. Mr.. Winthrop is in his seventy
sixth year. He was, it will be remembered, the
last Wing Speaker of the national House of
Representatives in 1919. II 1850 he sue
ceeded Daniel Webster, by appointment, in the
United States Senate, when Mr.. Webster had
been called to Fillmore's Cabi net. In the me
morable contest of the next winters Legislature
Mr.. Winthrop was beaten for the succession by
Charles Sumner. He ran for Governor
of Massachusetts in. 1851, and was de-
feated by the successful coalition
of Boutwell,, Wilson, Sumner, Burlin-
game, and other young leaders of that day.
With that year he practically retired from poll
tics, and of late years has been prominent as an
orator. His latest work has been preparing the
grafton to be pronounced at the dedication of the
Washington monument, of which, as Speaker of
the House, he laid the corner stone.
Mr., Winthrop took a severe cold while visit
ing his country residence at Brookline, last
week, which developed into pneumonia, and he
has been confined to his bed since Thursday.
But few Of his friends are allowed to see him.

NEW TELEGRAPHEKs' BROTHERHOOD
Twenty-Six Observation-Disclosures Assemblies
Ignore an IrOn-Clad Oath.

Ht' ApAN y
The general order of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company cutting off overtime pay and
work in out-of-town Offices has been followed by
the organization Of twenty six new assemblies of
the photographers Independent Brotherhood.
The new brotherhood is designed to take the
place of the Telegraphers' Brotherhood, which
practically went to pieces after the failure of the
general strike last year. 1t is said that the new
organization is a stronger protective association,
and that its power will be shown if the company
tries to enforce generally the reduction of EN-
ployes' incomes, which the order of the 9th in
slant seems to promise.
When the strike failed. all the operators were
required, as a main condition of unemployment,
to sign an iron-clad oath that they would never
again join any secret protective association. In
spite of this, the formation of a new brotherhood
separated from the old alliance with the Knights
of Labor was begun almost Immediately.
THAT iron clad OATH" said editor Taltawall,
Of the TelerTSPsers' Advocate, to-day, wasn't
worth a pinch Of snuff. 1t wasn't legal in the
first place, and a good many didn't sign it, in the
next place. The new brotherhood has a stronger
constitution than the old. and is nearly as strong
in numbers" The operators in this city will not
talk about the new brotherhood. The newspaper
organ of the brotherhood is read by all the ope-
rators. male and female, and the subscription
books show that nearly all subscribe for it.

Washington Letter in New York Commercial Adyer-
tiser.
The recent transfer by General Butler of some
of his Washington property to secure a loan by
him of $50, 900 has led to some political gossip re-
gardipg his late canvass for the presidency
There were all sorts of rumors and statements
afoat about election time in Democratic newspa-
pers. alleging that the expenses of General But
ier's canvass were paid by the Republican com
mittee. General Butler took no notice of these
stories at the time, considering them beneath at
tention on his part. Since the election he has
had little to say regarding the result, and has
manifested a dissemination to parade publicly
what he considers his own personal affairs. Not
withstanding this. however, it is well understood
here that General Butler stood the brunt of the
campaign out of his own personal funds, and
that the smount contributed by persons who be-
lieved in the wisdom of mis- course was extremely
small, as compared with what was spent, While
there is no direct authcrity for saying SO, your
correspondent has reason for Ns-evlng t62t fhe
recent transfer or mortgage of some OF his prop
erty here was necessitated by the expenses in
Cured in the late campaign, and that but iGg
that campaign he would not have been compelled
to raise money on his property, but would be
500, 900 better off.

Wilson. a. have reported, has entirely re-
covered from the wound, although some
thought it would prove fatal. Two negro

sinking fund should be provided, so that
the market value OF the city bonds should

paid of by the proceeds OF bonds bearing
