FIFTH AVENUE.
Fashion Has Had Its Day and Business Will
Now Usurp the Street

Fashion Has Had Its Day and Business Will
Now Usurp the Street.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, Nov. 21-A railroad project has
got disturbingly into New Yorks "best society,"
Fifth avenue residents are sharply divided for
and against the laying of horsecar tracks in that
famous thoroughfare. Some of the most
wealthy and pretentous of the families are con-
cerned in the enterprise, because they believe
that the avenue is bound, within few years, to
be dominated by business, which has already en-
croached upon it extensively. They are there
fore anxious to maintain the value Of their real
estate by facilitating the metamorphoss, and to
that end they advocate popular transit as the
best means of increasing trade and drawing mer-
chants. Moreover, they discern high profits for
the proposed railroad, because of the probability
that Fifth avenue will become the most fashion
able of streets for retail trade They regard the
removal of their homes as inevitable, and
are disposed to make the most out of the situa-
ton. On this side of the issue are the
Astors, who have already rented several of their
Fifth avenue houses for stores, and who contem-
plate an early exodus from their own domiciles
to new ones TO be built facing Central Park
Robert Bonner owns an entire block front, unim-
proved right In the most valuable section of the
Gliding what to do with it. He now favors the
railroad. Another square belongs to the Catho
lie Orphan Asylum across the way from William
Fl. Vanderbilts mansions. Cardinal McCoskey
held to the belief that the ground would eventu-
ally become more valuable for business than for
residence lots, but the policy of its management
since his death has not been developed. The
Vanderbilts are solid in opposition, and so are
Navy Secretary Whitney and other proprietors of
beautiful and very costly homes Jay Gould re-
fuses to commit himself The row in the matter
arises from the fact that ST. Lukes Hospital which
has $50 feet of Fifth avenue frontage. is pet
phian throphy of riches and fashion, its board of
managers including our biggest social magnates
The projected railroads promoters are repre-
scented in ST. Luke's directory. Therein con-
troversy arose, in which the enemies of the road
accused its friends of being concerned in
scheme shat necessarily involves the corrupt
bribery of the Common Council. The fact is
that in the capitalization, million dollars is
allowed for obtaining the charter and clearing
the way for the tracks. The Quarrel has
separated several cliques, and the seasons soce-
ty diversions will be considerably affected by the
feud. In the meantime, the resolution granting
the privilege has been introduced in the Common
Council, and referred to committee for nego-
tiation

Joe DiOn's Insanity,

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
New YORK. Nov. 2l.-The insanity of Joe
Dion, the billiardst, makes him imagine that he
is constantly playing important match games.
His first crazy vagary was to fancy that he was
engaged in the Chicago tournament. He went
all through with games in his billiard rooms, be-
lieving that he was in the Chicago hall, and that
big assemblage was watching his contests with
the players there. He insisted on bulletining
his mythical victories in front of the premises,
and gave considerable money to friends to bet
with on his winning the championship. On
being taken to the Bloomingdale asylum the lack
fusion, and he is constantly going through the
motions of play without cue or balls The panto-
mime is a curious study in dementia. and the
physicians say that the case is a rare one In the
perfection and persistency of the hallucination.
1t is probable that he can be cured.

Papal Utterance Against the Practice OF
CraniOtomy.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Nov 21.-Every Roman Catholic
physician in this city is in receipt of circular
containing declaration by the Pope that the
killing of an unborn infant is never right even
when the life Of the mother can be saved in no
other way. This bears upon the surgical opera
ton known as craniotomy which is generally
practiced by the profession in cases whereas
choice is forced between losing two lives and
saving one by fastening the end of the other.
Inquiry of Bishop Corrigan elicits that the letter
to the doctors is not official. and did not ema-
nate from his Office. The belief is that it was
sent out by some person who was profoundly inn
pressed on the subject, and sought to accomplish
what he or she deemed a good purpose The
Bishop said, however, that the statement of the
Popes ruling was in itself correct. The question
had been discussed carefully by the inquisitors-
general, at Rome, who voted unanimously
against the practice, on the ground that the TAX
ing of human life could not possibly be justif-
able, except as a legalized punishment for crime.
This finding was formally referred to the Pope,
who ratified and promulgated it a few weeks ago.

William Waldorf Astor's New Book.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal,
NEW YORK. Nov 2l.-The announcement that
Mr.. William Waldorf Astor lately minister to
Italy, is about to bring out historical romance
relating to the time of the Borgias creates good
deal of comment "Wille" Astor, as he is usu-
ally called, is a tall, slender man, with very
thoughtful, intelligent face-unike his prede-
cessors. In early manhood he haG great taste
for sculpture, and studied modelling under Launt
Thompson At that time he was strongly in
clined to devote his life to this branch of art.
When l met him few years later he had given
up art and sacrificed himself to collecting rents.
Then he entered politics and conducted one of
the most corrupt local campaigns ever known
here in the effort to get himself elected mem
Der of Congress. Even the voters who were in the
habit of being treated" and indirectly lribed
were so disguised by the manifest attempt of the
young millionaire to buy them up that they de-
feated him. Afterwards he secured the dis
tincton which the people had refused to give
him by obtaining appointment as Minister to
Italy. l myself believe that Mr. Aston is man
OF real intellectual power and great refinement
who was mised by bad advisers in his choice OF
campaign methods. He should be welcomed to
the ranks of authorship. His romance was sent
to the publisher without any clue to its authors
identity, and he would not disclose that he bad
written it until some days after its acceptance.
| am told that it is an excellent specimen of the
historical novel, on the old-fashioned basis of
Scott and Bulwer, with good characterization
and abundant evidences of deep study The his
torical portion. it is also said. has been made
very interesting in picturesque way One of
the chief aims of the book, which. is entitled
Valentino" is the whtewashins sof Lucreta
Borgia. in harmony with the views of the his
torian Gregorovius. A good many people of the
present day need whitewashing Consequently
this story ought to be popular.

Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1885-12-24

u THE Henry county Denaokrat sug-
gests that Northern Ohio, as the Glib
raltar of Democracy, should have the
Presidency pro tenn of the Senate, and
proposes Major Dodd Of Toledo, for the
position. Ifthe President pro tenn, in
the organization of the Senate rs con-
ceded to Northern Ohio as we think it
should be, no member of that body is
better fitted to perform the duties of
presiding officer than Major Dodd., A
skillful parliamentarian, able and fear
less in the discharge of the delicate du-
ties incident to what promises to be a
stormy session, the selection of Major
Dodd would be wise and creditable to
the Senate. And it would be a just re-
cognition of the growing Democracy of
Northwestern Ohio.--Bee. Major Dodd
would make an able presiding officer,
but there is one drawback to his selec-
tion, Northwestern Ohio was accorded
the honor Of President pro tenn Of the
last Senate, which fact may damage
Mr.. Dodd's chances, but it may not,
and we hope for his selection. M

MANY people wonder at the thrift of
the foreigners who come to live among
us. Many of them, being common la
borers, work for small wages and irregu-
larly, yet their families, and they have
families, are comfortably kept and in
course of time they have little house
of their own. The secret of it is that
the wife is the banker and through her
superior ideas of economy aud shrewd-
ness in purchasing, the scanty earnings
are put where they will do the most
good, no awkward debts are incurred,
and at the end of the fiscal year there
is almost invariably surplus. Eng
lish speaking people might emulate
their example with profit, but it is too
commonly the American idea, at least,
that woman knows nothing about
business and cannot be safely trusted
with her husbands wages. On the con-
trary the money that he doesn't spend
for his own qualifications, is doled out
to her in grudging compliance with her
timid requisitions.

THERE are some Republicans in Ohio
who believe this Government can only
be run by the 6. o. p, and that no
Democrat should hold public office
and that it is perfectly right for Repub-
can Circuit Court Judges to count them
out when elected thereto; and when
their programme fails to mature, they
set up howl of Fraud, fraud, fraud"
They are the same fellows that glorified
over the steal of the Presidency in
1876.
