for this rbason it is said any man with good

society ir the metropolis But the British
are EXTREMELY particular about manners,
much mo he so than Americans, so it is per-

London society is made up of much the
same people that compose it in New York,
except tEIat there are more women in it.
Daughterb daughters everywhere Mothers
bring theiF girls to balls and receptions as
to a market. But there are so many more of
them than there are eligible men, that Lon
don society becomes a real scramble for
husbands TO an extent which one must hope
will remain forever unknown in America
One constituent of London society, that
perhaps which enjoys the jolliest time of all,
is called the ''frislzy matron" element This
is compostd of lively married ladies, young
or not as the case may be, who give little
dinners al ID entertainments on a small scale.
They go t'b bachelor club suppers and loom
large at bhchelor club balls. But they are
frowned tpn by the solemn British matrons
in high life, especially those with daughters
to marry, which most of them have. But the

Mr.. eoULD's FRIENDLY LETTER.

He signs the letter "Jay Gould, Pres't,
thus giving it his official stamp. He sees no
objection to arbitrating differences between
the Missouri Pacific's company and its EN-
ployes. On the strength of that, it was an
nounced that employees would resume work,
trains start running, and the whole en-
chanted palace of labor start into full
activity again The strike was ended,
quoth the newspapers Of Monday,
March %. Mr.. Gould's letter was
written the Sunday previous. That
Monday the stock Of the Gould southwestern
roads went up several cents First they
doomed, then they dropped little. then they
went up again His enemies say that the lit
tie ffnaucier cleareda cool million on the
strength of that friendly letter.
Then came another hitch. Vice President
Hoxie, out in st. Louis, would settle indi-
vidual difficulties with striking employees,
but he would have nothing to do in any
shape or form with an official committee of
the Knights Of Labor. He drew the line
there and was as granite in holding to it.
Meeting committee Of the K. Of L. wasn't
his idea of "arbitrating differences. And
when Mr.. Gould's famous letter of instruc-
tions to Mr. Hoxie came to be strictly looked
into. it was found to be no settlement of the
difficulty at all Mr.. Hoxie was left free to
do just as he had been doing before, and he
has at no time since been informed by Mr..
Gould that the president of the road saw no
objections to his receiving a COMMITTEES OF

FAC SMILE OF HIS LETTER OF M
STRUcTIoNs TO HoME.

Seems Inclined to Spell 1t steal"
Arbitrating Differences.
As specimens of plain English the recent
letters that have passed between G. NJ w.
K. of L Powderly and Jay Gould are worthy
OF note. The epistles are written in such
good, forcible English that it would have
been the greatest pity if they had not got
into the newspapers. They are as well writ
ten, in fact, as if Gould and Powderly had
been newspaper men, every bit. Such fine
literary talent lying latent among business
men like these two is credit to the country.
Briton could not write such letters. He
might be just as mad, and he undoubtedly
would say quite as hard things, but he would
go at it in a bulldog, meat-ax way. His
language would be heavy, too. For neatly
dissecting and polishing off his enemy, he
could not bold candle to the two opposing
gentlemen whom some supposed to represent
capital and labor.
1t will be IA pretty fight, they say. If it
goes on, there are indications that it viii be
a broad one. Mr. Powderly would call it the
battle between labor on the one hand and
the Gould system of heaping up wealth on
the other It is not against capital, he lie
clares, but against capital got by unjust
means.
In the correspondence that has been pub
lished, Grand Master Powderly has the
strongest convictions, while Gould is the
more adroit. In nothing does this over
matching witness appear more vividly than
in Gould's first letter of directions to Vice
President Hoxie on settling the strike
