TIE MANDOLIN CRAZE.
The Latest Freak of Fashionable Society
Women-Pianos and Banjos Abandoned.

Especial Correspondence.f 4
New York, March 23-The young people
of fashionable society are simply children Of
larger growth. This is discerned in the shul.
lowness of their conversation and exhibited
in the vagaries of their tastes. No sooner
they acquire one buuble than they quickly
tire of it and lock around for some other toy
/ In this exclusive set IN society there is but
little originality of thought, so that if one OF
their number but stumbles against novelty
/ in the way of amusement it is likely to de-
velop, into craze for season and be as
quickly forgotten. A dozen years ago "Jin,"
Bennett fitted up hall and introduced roller
skating 1t became the rage that winter, but
was not heard of afterwards until its recent
popular revival. So it was with polo, which
was brought over here by this same eccentric
newspaper proprietor. It was considered SC
essential an accomplishn ent for the dude of
that day that this contir, mt and Europe were
secured TO find ponies wi h low enough draft
to permit the riders feet % touch the ground
while playing the gam. To-day it is re-
membered only by the name given to the
grounds here and iii Newport, which were
then devoted to it. Then came bicycling,
fox hunting and walking as fashionable
sports. The present youths mind seems to
turn to horse riding. With the young ladies,
the various freaks in which their tastes ex-
hibit themselves are too variable to be easily
defined, bat certain it is that the latest craze

PROJECTED STATUE OF GEN R. E. LEE.
The site of the monument is in park. The
foundation is to be broad elevated terrace
overlooking the city, the river and the valley.
An avenue of approach to the statue has been
designed which will make the effect still more
imposing. .....-..-. ..-..s.s .......
A massive pedestal supports the statue,
which is to be heroic size, on horseback. The
pedestal is of granite, with inlaid tablets of
colored marble. On each of two opposite sides
are two caryatides in granite, four in all.
They represent peace, justice, religion and
patriotism. Fame, war and charity are also
figured in bronze. At opposite sides of the
base are bas-reIefs of '"The Departure and
''The Return"
Six years viii be required to make the
statue and set it upon its pedestal. This will
require another trip to Europe on the part of
Charles A. Niehaus, the fortunate sculptor
who got the commission Ithas not been long
since he returned from the old world with his
completed statue of Garfield for Cincinnati.
Every time an American artist obtains an
order for any fine work in his native country
he must go abroad to make it. America has
not the facilities. For stone we have not the
skilled marble cutters, if indeed we have the
fine marbles For bronzes we have not the
art foundries Americans with fine bronzes
to execute usually go to Munich to the gov
ernment foundry there
The history of this Lee monument is inter
esting. Gen. Lee died in October, 1870.
Three days after his death some Richmond
ladies met at a private house and formed
an association to raise funds to erect
a memorial to him. The south was
very poor then, especially Virginia, and i'll
prepared to subscribe for anything outside Of
the actual necessities of life. Nevertheless,
Virginia contributed largely. The people of
Georgia, who are called the Yankees of the
south, also gave generously. Other states
helped. ~'
At length the ladies' committee opened ne
gotiations for designs. This was number OF
years after the project was first set on foot.
A prize of 81, 600 was offered for the best de-
sign for the monument, 81, 900 for the second
best, and an honorable mention for the third
Artists of all nationalities were permitted to
compete at length, Fourteen sculptors en-.
tered designs for the prizes. France, Ger
many, Italy, and Switzerland were repre-
sented among the foreign artists Some of
the foreigners designs We're exquisite, but
they did not seem to catch the true idea of
the soldier who was to be commemorated,
nor would their monuments have suited the
site chosen ~-s

CHARLES s. PARNELLs MOTHER.
The Likeness and a Sketch of Sfrs. Della
Stewart ParneIi.


NEW YORK, March 23-They say tiat
Mrs. Parnell, the heroic mother of the cham
pion of Ireland, is i'll and dying here in New
York. 1t is said too, that she is in reduced
circumstances. She is entitled 10 sympathy
from the well wishers, both of America and
Ireland She is herself an American, being
the daughter of Commodore Stewart, who
commanded the old frigate Constitution i'll
the war of 1912, and with it captured several
British vessels. The Constitution was called
"Old Ironsides." This name was, given to the
commodores estate at Bordentown, N. J.
Charles Stewart Parnell ought to be some
body. He has heroic blood in him from both
sides. On the Irish side the Parnell family
have been remarkable for generations. There
were soldiers, there were distinguished
mechanical geniuses, there were learned
scholars and writers, there were strong
minded women Sophia Parnen Evans, great
aunt of the liberator of Ireland, was lion
ess. Her face looked like one. She was a
woman of splendid brain and executive abil-
ity, and deist of the old school, being an
outspoken follower of Voltairc and Hume
and Gibbons Through her urging her hus-
band entered politics, and had a victorious
career as a Wing, she being throughout

$50 pounds. He is plump, but not corpulent.
But it is Mr.. Carrots house, that he has
just moved into, that is the great object Of
interest now, and uppertendom Of the big
cities is on the tiptoe of expectation, waiting
for an invitation to visit IL. This house has,
during its construction, become notorious
through the fight about the portico. This
portico can be seen in the illustration, and
appears like an exceedingly harmless affair;
and yet it is the subject of a legal fight that
has become immortal, and threatens to go on
forever. The trouble came about in this way:
Mr. CARROTS hobbies run in the line Of
clothes and canes and Shoes but this portico
is one of Mrs. CARROTS hobbies. Next to Mr..
Garrett lives Mr.. Henry James, the partner
of Enoch Pratt, and a small, fragile, clipper
man, with mild gray eyes and smooth face
that bellies his years When the portico was
being built MIR. James sought Mr. Garrett and
inquired whether it was to be inclosed.
THAT was my idea, y replied Mr.. Garrett,
with seraphic smile.
"But it will obliterate my view down the
square!n persisted the meek Mr.. james in a
lugrubious voice a- -.a 57
''Cawn't help that, you know" was the
answer, because this portico was my wife's
scheme, and she's bent on having it just so,
you know"
Thereupon Mr. James and Mr.. Garrett
parted in nuff Mrs Garrett heard of the
interview and resolutely declared to some Of
her friends that she intended to build that
portico if she had to buy and tear down all
the other houses in the square. Then Mr..
James Iranced into court and got out an in
junction against the portico. The suit has
gone through the lower courts and languishes
in the state court of appeals in the sleepy lit
tie capital of Annapolis. Half tie town has
become deeply interested in the issue, and
society has arrayed itself upon one. side
or the other. The newspapers have
gloated over the choice scandal Not
long since a lumor obtained currency to
the effect that Mr.. James intended to donate
his splendid house to eolored orphan
asylum. Mt. Vernon place, which reckons
itself next to heaven in ultra exclusiveness,
was utterly paralyzed Millionaire after mil
lionaire hustled himself quietly into the
presence of Mr. james, and in tones of anguish
implorcd him to do no such thing. The pros
pect of having little ''niggers" sit ing around
on their marble doorsteps was more than
they could stand. Mr.. James dryly denied
the rumor, hut IL at did not prevent Mt. Yer
non place from being filed, for a time, with
an admixture of profound disray, disgust,
indignation and profanity.
Well, the portico is built. Mr. Garrett
has moved in and it is needless to add that
the neighbors ''do not speak as they pass by"
