without pay, their acts should not be too

There is no lady in New York society, indeed
in American society, who has greater prestige
than Mrs. Hamilton Fish. During her hus.

manner, a suotle mixture of dignity, cordiality
and gentleness, her marvellous tact and SAVIOR
faire, ell combined to make her especially fitted
for the position she held uncontested. Mrs. Fish
was before marriage Miss Kean, and was ex-
tremely beautiful. To-day her delicate face
surrounded by soft white curls and puffs, her
refined expression and the gentle courtesy of her
manner make her most charming. She has the
air of rare old porcelain miniature and her
dainty gracious manner and the elegance of
her attire, simple but rich. make one re-
greet the manish, "tailor-made" costumed
dame of the day. Mrs Fish has a
handsome, roomy house in tStuyvesant

with brown stone facings and large bay windows.
The grounds attached run through to Eighteenth

JAPANESE GARDENS.

to the Back Yard.

Hint for Extending Fashionable Craze
to the Back Yard.
Outing for February.
Plots OF ground even as small as ten feet
square are exquisitely beautifed by japanese
methods. so much do these people admire gar
dens and garden effects. There is truth in the
suggestion that too many American 'back-
yards" are given over to coal ashes tin cans and
the garbage barrel, which by simple means and
a little taste might be rendered charming to the
eye. Such waste places in Japan would be made
neat and clearly to begin with; few evergreen
shrubs and one or two clusters of flowers would
be planted; there would be rustic fence pro-
jecting from the side of the house and here
and there quaintly-shaped fower-pot contain
ing few choice plants. In gardens of more
pretense there would be little pond or sheet of
water of irregular outline. and, if so situated
that brook be turned to run through it. a
great charm is attained. The picturesque feat
ures of such streamlet are brought out with
the aid of rock fragments, and even rounded
powders; rustic bridges Of stone wood are
made to span it, even the smallest pond having
and miniature mountains six or eight feet high,
over or about which the path runs, are always
present In gardens of larger size the mountain
grows to twenty. and even forty feet high, and
on the summit little rustic lookout with
matched roof, is made. In still larger gardens,
several hundred feet square, 1.-THE ponds and

Washington Letter to Troy Times.
The Hon. John NJ. Francis is the man who in
vented the local page" He conceived the idea
of separating the local news from the editorial
comments. The modern newspaper allows no
expression of opinion except in the editorial col
umns. The propriety of this dawned upon his
mind in the days when news gathering was in its
infancy To-day the value of news depends
largely upon the impartiality with which it is
written. Current facts and information on all
subjects may be read by Democrat in Re-
publican paper. or by a Republican in Demo
cratic paper, without revealing the political
views Of the writer or the publisher.

Erva.


Erva was nightingale
The nightingale of spheres,
And in the wilderness of stars
Had sung million years.
Throughout the rounded Universe,
On comet wings she sped.
Grooming creations natal song,
Or dirge for astral dead.
Still ever in her dreamy fight
The music that she wove
Was nothing more, was nothing less,
Than her immortal love.
And whether Ser the planets old
She poured her throbbing strain,
Or sang unto the rising new,
Twas love enmixed with pain.
And yet, the galaxy of worlds
To like her we'll did learn:
Forthwith began themselves to love,
And with her passion burn
Twas thus within the souls of men
Sweet thoughts of love were born,
To find reward in mutual hearts,
Or die upon the thorn.
