EARLY HOURS IN SOCIETY.
The hours Of New York balls having
gotten so late that those who arrived
at / frequently found themselves first,
the hostesses are making grand COM
bination in favor Of early hours, and
Mrs. George S. Bondrin is to be ac-
credited with the admirable beginning.
At her beautiful little ball, given last
Thursday evening, the invitations were
from 80 to l." and the cotillon be-
gan at 1920. Mrs. Bondrin is a
daughter of the late Moses II. Grim
nell, and a grand niece of Washington
Irving. Mr.. Bondrin is a great grand
son Of Alexander Hamilton and Gen.
eral Philip Schuyler. His father was
q nephew of Robert c. Winthrop, of
Boston. So if anybody in America
can be called aristocratic, this family,
although totally unpretentious in man
ners, as all real aristocrats are, have
claim TO that distinction This excel
lent plan has been followed by a num-
Der Of young men who intend to give
the early dances at the Hotel Bruins
wick before Lent. They will also ex-
clude wine. The subscription will be
only o.. The patronesses will be the
mothers Of debHtdntss and all fash
ionable society women. The Hotel
Brunswick has heretofore, except
for the coaching dinner, been left
out in the cold, and Delmonico has
had the giving Of all the balls. How

The barber story about Mr.. Cam
mack recalls a somewhat similar one
about the Plumed Knight of Wall
street, whom | hope to see again enter
the lists for victorious tourney--James
r. Keene. One day. when in the ze-
NTH of his financial power, he hur-
riedly hailed a rickety-loOking coupe,
more intent on getting up town quick
than on going in style. The man was
shrewd and attentive, and pleased the
large-hearted Spectator. Mr.. keene
became a steady patron, and one day
dumfounded the cabman by presenting
him with handsome new coupe and a
fine, strong horse. The act was char
acteristic Of Mr.. keene.
There is nothing more said about
sales Of stocks for the estate of the late
d. P. Morgan. One who knew him
well said TO me the other day II
don't know exactly how much North
west Mr.. Morgan left, but it has been
placed at as high as $4,000 shares. He
also owned some Oregon Transconti-
mental at the time Of his death. ] think
that the value of his estate has, since
his decease, increased 100000"
The obituary notices of d. p. Morgan
were meagre, and yet he was one Of

The residence Of the Russian legation is a
rented building, but stately private resi-
dence. The Russian minister is Baron Charles
de Shuve, who is out of the country most Of
the time. The affairs Of the realm oi tho
White Car, what little there are, are in
Charge of Mr. Alexandra Iswolsky, secretary
Of legation. The fine house in the picture is
in the most fashionable part of X street,
Monsieur Theodore Roustan is the French
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary. That is the full official title Of the boss
representative of foreign court The minis
ter from our sister republic across the water is
dark, lively individual whom the ladies like
very much, For one thing, they are sure he
is bachelor. Most Of the diplomatic corps
pose as bachelors in Washington, although it
IS said that many have left wives and fami-
lies behind them. The bachelorhood of a
member of the diplomatic corps here is very
uncertain quantity.
The German minister, Baron Won Alvcns-
lcben, is another single man, but he keeps
house to himself in the mansion owned by his
government on Fifteenth street
The Italian minister is Baron de Fava, who
tries to make believe that diplomacy in
America amounts to something, but he can't
make it out. He is a handsome, dark eyed,
white haired man

Twenty-Five foreign governments have
state representation at Washington. The
British legation is, of course, at the head.
The official residence is handsome and com
modious house, brown, with white stone
trimmings II is near p street circle, in that
enchanted part of Washington which always
puts the small letters IN. W. after its address
upon card. The magic letters mean ''north-
west" in the northwest part of the city, and
indicate the fashionable living neighborhood
of the capital. IN. W." is the Fifth avenue of
Washington. A house may be handsome,
healthy and in the best of repair, but il rents
for third or more less if it is not "N W."
The Alpha and Omega of presentation in
the snob world Of Washington used to be to
be introduced to the British minister, when
Sir Edward Thornton was the official repre-
sentative. 1t is not so to quite the same ex-
tent now, though the present British minister,
Hon. Lionel Sackville West still leads all the
rest of the diplomatic corps socially. Some
wicked newspaper men call it the diplomatic
corpse)
Minister West is a very able diplomntist.
He has been trained to it from boyhood in
Europe, where state trickery is as much a
profession as that of the soldier. Some of the
willy old foxes in Germany or Russia could
probably ovelIeach Mr.. West in gambling
for international advantages, but certainly
nobody in America can 1t is said he quite
got the better of our astute state department
in the matter of the Canada fisheries last
spring. But, indeed, nobody in America is
ever trained to diplomacy. We had men who
understood the trade during the early days of
the republic, but they are all dead. Our rep
resentatives abroad are guileless babes in the
hands of European state managers.
Minister West is a widower, and his daugh-
ters keep house for him

OUR MAJOR GENERALS.
Those that Are and Those that Are
Shortly to BE.


CHICAGO, March 2, 1SsG.-The attention of
newspaper reader has been called anew to
the generals Of our army, since the death of
Gen Hancock. There is u common impress
sion that Phil Sheridan was promoted to the
place from which Gen. Sherman retired in
1883, by reason of having reached the age of
62. This is the age at which commissioned
officers are to be gently relegated by law to
private life
But Sheridan did not take Shcrman's place.
He is the last, so to speak, of our little army,
but his title is that of lieutenant general, and
his pay is Sll 900 year. Sherman was the
general of the army, with pay of S13,50O a
year. This title and place were created after
the last war. It was really done TO provide
for Gen. Grant. Gem Grants country was
always providing for him. He at least could
not say that republics were ungrateful.
Grant was general Of the army till his in
ouguration MS president in 1869. Then the
Office and title devoyed on his friend
"Cump." sherman, vino some how never had
the lnack Of getting on with the newspapers
The generals title has lapsrd for the pres
ent If anybody gets it anyways soon, it
will Of course be little Phil, whose manly
round white head appears herewith.

In cod fishing, according 10 the old skipper,
''you do not get so much pork for your shil-
ling" The fishing grounds, as shown by the
map, are situated at greater distance. The
Georges bank for instance, is due east Of
Cape Cod about 200 miles 1t is where the
tide is strongest, the winds fiercest, and the
sea the roughest, that the cod and halibut
make their homes, and it requires a brave
heart to face the cold and other dangers of
this calling. Often during the winter the
deck and rigging are constantly covered with
ing over the rail is shown in the illustration.
Here each member of the crew tends single
line fastened to a peg in the rail called
"soldier;n this is the customary method in
rough weather When the sea moderates
sufficiently tIawl fishing is practiced Travis
are lines which are buoyed so as to float on
the water and extend for quarter mile or
more out from the vessel, each vessel carry
ing about two miles Of these trawl lines At
every six feet on the travis are fastened
smaller lines with baited hooks. Small boats
called dOries, containing two men each, go
out twice day to follow up the trawl, haul
in the smaller lines, remove the fish and re-
bait the hooks. If cod is caught he is sim
ply thrown into the boat, while a halibut is
killed first by hitting him on the nose A
halibut will weigh from 25 to 800 pounds, and
''if big one got into the dory alive,n so a
sailor said, lit would be an open question
whether he was in charge of the dory or
whether Won VAST

DRYING FISH.

All fish arc cut open, and the entrails re-
moved before packing on board the vessel.
When a cargo is obtained of from 10000 to
$4,000 pounds of fish, the vessel sails for its
harbor; here the fresh fish is shipped in re-
frigeTator cars to market and that intended
for drying, smoking, or packing in brine is
turned in to immense warehouses on shore.
The illustration presents scene in one Of the
yards where the Goldfish are dried. This is
done by exposing them on "Aalies' for day
or so in the open air. In case of rain, the
fish are collected in piles, and covered with
the Odd-shaped boxes shown in the illustra-
ton. The dried cod is fed into machine,
which clg it into bricks for packing at the
rate Of no pounds minute. Then there are
smoke houses where the halilut aud mackeiel
are cured. Some Of the packing concerns
have their own vessels. one possesses fifteen
schuoners, worth about slU,OOJ each. The
total catch Of muckcIel for one year is
about $4,000 barrels. OF fish 1H60OO,0O0
pounds is fair annual average catch.
This will give some idea of the magnitude Of
This industry, which is Just now attracting
attention before congress.
