THE FACES OF PRETTY WOMEN.
4 Great Demand for the Portraits of
Handsome Americans.

Great Demand for the Portraits of
Handsome Americans.
There is a greater demand for the portraits
OF American society ladies at present than !
have ever known before" said a Broadway
dealer in public characters to a reporter
"Our own society ladies have always been
averse To having their pictures placed on
sale. any many have even refused TO allow
them to appear in our galleries for the in
spection of an admiring public, despite the
pleadings of the artist, who appreciates their
value as draw card. But they have finally
concluded that there is no harm in it after
all, and besides that, it is rather English, for
their cousins across the water long since APP
proved of the distribution of their captivat-
ing portraits, both in their country and
America Mrs. Cleveland was really the
first TO lead in this commendable movement,
and since then others have concluded that it
was eminently proper to follow her example.
Some are very particular as to who shall
have the sale of their pictures. Among the
pictures that have a great call for are those
of Lady RandOlp. Churchill, Mrs. Frewen
and Mrs. Leslie, the three daughters of Mr..
Leonard Jerome, of this city; Miss Adele
Grant, who is now travelling in Europe with
her mother, where she went to wed Lord
Cairns, but, for some reason or other did
not; then there is Mrs Roach, the daughter
~
Brown Potter. Since Mrs. Potter's socia!
success in England her portraits have been
especially in demand"
The reporter was shown some excellent por-
traits of this lady, taken just before her re
turn. There were at least twelve different
sttings and taken by as many different
artists In two pictures in different attitudes
Mrs Potter appears attired i'll n jaunty
yachting costume with white flannel skirt
and a black and white striped waist Her
head repuses gracefully on her right hand
which has hold of the yachts rigging In the
other picture she is reclining in an easy chair
with her arms akimbo and her head resting
between her hands. Sine also appears once
with her FRIEND Miss De Wolf The portraits
of Mrs. Ferris, another society lady of New
York, are much sought after.
Miss Chamberlain, the American beauty"
the dealer added, has always positively re
fused to have her pictures offered for sale
But L received letter from n London pho
tographer this week stating that he had re
ceived permission from Miss Chamberlain to
place her portraits on sale and would forward
several to this country Immediately | antici-
pate an immense sale. Much of the young
society girls pin money is spent on these pic
lures. New York Mail and Express

No Load Left in That Gun.

Many years ago, before the introduction of
friction matches, an old farmer used to light
his finder for the morning fire by the use of
an old flint-lock musket One day i'm his alb
sence the wife loaned the musket 10 a neigh
bor, who returned it loaded, and mentioned
the fact To the woman as he handed it to her
But her husband did not return home until
past midnight, being on n rousing spree. He
crept into bed without waking his wife to en-
joy a lecture. Next morning he rose in good
season, with the usual thirst and a hammer
ing headache. After rubbing a few cob
webs ont of his eyes and taking n
"wce drop from the remains of the
over night, he commenced preparations for
starting The fire. The splinters were col
lccte'i, and the finder placed in the pan of
the lock: "li.'-' went the hammer, and the
explosion. t..,j followed Slppk the house lis
polling the fumes of liquor from the old
mans faculties and rousilg his wife with a
sudden alarm. Guessing at the trouble She
exclaimed, while not fully awake: "Th-th-that
gun is l2Ilcd'' Looking with an empty
stare at the smoking gun and at the bullet

above his wifes head, the fond husband re-
piled: No, I'll be darnei if it ST. J.

A CORN SHuCKING.

You may talk OF the pleasure of yachting,
And Of sailing before stiff breeze,
But corn he had rather be husking
With bushel between his two knees.
For if mid the ears there's red one,
He noisly jumps to his feet,
While away through the barn she goes flying,
With her hair streaming wild in retreat.
Then what are the pleasures of sailing
To this race through the keen autumn air,
And what prizes that yachtsmen mas conquer
With the one that he wins may cOmparei
In grace lovely woman's no rival,
As she skins from the oncoming kiss.
And tn. lad that's her veuturesonr captor,
Has reached the far heaven OF bliss.

The performance Of Professor Morris

Of the best Citiz,ns Of the city, who pro-
nounced 1t the best show Of the kind ever
given In the Academy. The intelligence
displayed by the animals and tho pertec-
ton shown In the performance OIL the parts
given them show patient and thorough
training upon tho part Of their master,
Prof. Morris. What has never been Wit
messed here before was q real comedy
acted by Ave Of the dogs. 1t was called
"the Visit OF Mr.. and Mrs. Benedict, and
in It the dogs showed that they could oct

the Stage. The closing act Of the enter

the stage Is formed q pyramid, the apex
Of which rises about nineteen feet above
the Etage and 10 crowned by a. live rooster.
Prof, Morris stands near the pyramid, and
as he calls each dog aud pony by name
each comes forward and takes his stand
upon the car, which acts "a the foundation
OF the pyramid, and the wheels Of which
are 90 arranged that when the pyramid 10
formed 1t can be turned around. When
completely formed, two more ponies are
called, and they, obedlent TO the wish Of
the Professor, march forward, place their
heads through yokeg, and turn the living
pyramid around. Thee effect was beautiful
