all because the owner of the adjoining
premises does what he likes with his
own. These are private evils. The evil
becomes public one when it injuries and
degrades the finest street in the city. But
there is no remedy.
TIE ENGAGEMENT OF TWO YOUNG
PEOPLE
we'll known in New York society will be
announced next week. The lady IS Mar
garet, daughter of Prof Charles +.
Chandler, of Columbia College, and the
happy man is Charles, the second son Of
Henry e. Pellew. Miss Chandler is an
unusually pretty blonde, with a fine
figure. She speaks German as well as
French, and in other respects is accom-
plished. Her fathers reputation as a
chemist and scientist is world wide. Al
though he is descended from a good old
New England family of Puritan proclivi-
ties, he owed nothing TO social influences,
and coming to New York a young man,
with his reputation yet to make,
he has arrived at his present
position solely through personal merit.
While second to few in his speciality, he
has none of the visionary views of the
scholar, but is eminently practical man.
This has enabled him TO make learning
pay in way that few scholars have. AS
Dean of the Columbia Mining School and
lecturer in two medical colleges, he earns
what is considered quite a handsome in

this by his receipts for his services as a

distinguished in the annals of the British
navy The head of the family is Lord
EXmouth. The title was earned by the
gallant deed OF the First Admiral Pelew,
who made himself a name about q CEN
tury ago. Another Admiral Pellew, grand
father Of young Pellew, had command Of
the Mediterranean after the death OF Nell
son, and did the State no little service in
that capacity. Young Pellew is not en-

though an adopted citizen, he is public
spirited enough TO put those to the manner

all enterprises for the welfare Of the COM
munity. Pecuuiarly, he is very well-to-dO.
Speaking OF engagements, you know il
is still the absurd fashion he for the
newly married to preserve the course of the
bridal tour most mysterious secret.
When the wedding Is in the evening they
do not start on the tour of unknown des-
tinatiOn until the next morning. the in
tervening night being spent at a hotel.
or course, this hotel is Kept more secret
than even the subsequent wedding jour

bride and groom Of a few hours standing
when they went to the Murray Hill Hotel
one night last Week, after refusing TO tell
their nearest and dearest where they
were going, and found the house full OF
friends and acQuaintances who had been
at the Weddingl ID.
