who Struck Rottsq

Said Mr.. Algerian Edward Bolts of st.
Louis concerning his black eye received
yesterday:
By jove! I think it's too scandalous for
anything. My goodness, I've been out with
the boys so many times, and 1 always conduct
myself like a gentleman. If | had wanted to
disgrace my fanily-and you must know that
we Bolts stand high at home-I could have
hit the vulgar woman real hard with my cane.
This morning made my toilet and did moth
ing but stroll through these horrid damp
woods. In the afternoon 1 asked the clerk at
the hotel-yes, am sure asked him if they
kept good beer at the pavilion. There were so
many pretty girls there, you know-very
pretty girls, too-almost as pretty as at home.
The place was crowded. too. and strolled
down through the tables, and most pretty
girl ahead OF me gave re the laugh. Why, I
just sat down there and ordered some seltzer
water and lighted my cigarette-and kept
gazing at that girl AS for me attempting to
work that old huSsy who hit me, my, guess
I have been around; but you know l am af-
fected with strabismuS, and thought the
air would do my left eye good-after Dr.
Jones performed on my eyes-that is after
the surgical operation. The least excitement
throws my left eye way around-indeed it
does! lifted my seltZer to my mouth and
smiled at the girl when heard very vulgar
voice say something about some one looking
at them. My curiosity is so well trained that
1 never once looked around but suddenly
some One-and it was this vulgar parsonage,
struck me real hard in my eye Why the pain
was intense! I started to run. and I got out
of there and didn't even have time to pay for
my seltzer. 1 went right to my room and
asked one of these nasty bell boys to send me
q beefsteak and cold water. Why! 1 have
been to prize fight at Creve CPur and did
Coney Island on Sunday. My heavens! 1
think it an outrage for these vulgar people to
come here. I understood that several people
subdued this she devil and put her on a train
and sent her off. Just as soon, just as soon,
as go to town intend to inform the police.
My goodness it's not right!

MISS GRANT


No member of the British aristocracy is
better known in America by name and fame
than the present Earl of Cairns, formerly
Lord Garmoyle. Not alone were his ad-
ventures with the fair actress. Miss Fortes-
cue, the talk Of two continents for over a
year, but winter-that of 18S4-S5-pasSed
in larger American cities made his form
and features known. During the same
winter. among the numerous fair debutantes,
Miss Adele Grant, a daughter of Mrs. Beach
Grant of New York, stood easily first, both
from her beauty and charm Of manner.
Educated abroad, Miss Grant returned with
her father to make her debut in the society
of her native land. She was constantly
surrounded by admirers. and her clear-cut
features, tall and stately figure, black hair
and expressive eyes of the same color, were
the theme of admiring comment on all
sides. Among the many admirers who
paid devoted attention to her was Lord
Garmoyle, but nothing was thought Of it at
the time. His father soon afterwards died,
the young lord became an earl, and con-
cOmitantly, great catch matrimonially.
Last autumn Mrs. Grant and her daughter
sailed away to spend the winter at Cannes,
and it was not long after their arrival be-
fore it began to be whispered that the fair
young American would soon become en-
gagged to the rich and notorious member of
the nobility, who had also found that the
air of Cannes would be beneficial to his
health. Their engagement was first an
nounced in January, only to be vigorously
and scornfully denied by Miss Grant, but
acoronet has wondrous charms; the engage
ment is now an acknowledged fact, and the
marriage will soon follow. So New York
society loses one of its fairest flowers, and
England gains another American rose to
bloom or wither in its aristocratic con-
serYatorY.

MRS. PAGET-


Mrs. Capt. Arthur Paget, formerly Miss
Minnie Stevens, a daughter of Mrs. Paran
Stevens, and whose portrait is given above,
was for three years at least the leading
belle of New York society. and the drag on
which she sat on coaching day was always
considered to have secured the prize of
beauty. Her marriage to the young un-
titled but well-connected Englishman five
years ago was greatly deplored by her
many friends and admirers In New York,
and her anticipated visit to Newport this
coming summer is already looked forward
to as one Of the features of the season at
the gay watering place. The remarkably
beautiful and successful series of tableaux
which were given here last week, and in
which the leading bellies among the de-
butantes posed as the central figures of
well-known pictures before large and de-
lighted audiences, recalled their predecessors
of six winters ago, when Miss Minnie
Stevens appeared as Europe" and pro-
duced so great sensation by her beauty
thus attired that it has not ceased to be
talked about to this day. In figure Mrs.
Paget is tall and slight. Her features are
intellectual and perfectly formed, and her
complexion is fair. She has made as great
success in London society as she did in
New York, and IS truly typical American
belle.

UIOOuI OI
seryatory.

Some ten years ago there "came out of
the West" to New York family named
Wilson. The father, Kentuckian, had
made much money after the war in cotton.
and beginning in a modest way in Wall
street he soon increased his fortune to the
million mark. Then the family began to
go into society. The eldest daughter, Miss
Mary Wilson, was an exceedingly beautiful
girl, a perfect blonde, with most attractive
and vivacious manner. She soon become
an attractive belle, and before long num-
bered among her troop of admirers Ogden
Goelet, one of the richest young men of
New York and an heir to the great Goelet
estates. Their marriage followed about six
years ago. and since then Mrs. Goelet has
been one of the acknowledged leaders of
New 7 ork society. Three years ago she
introduced her sister, Miss Belle Wilson,
whose portrait is given above, and who
promises to rival her sisters success. Miss
Wilson is tall and slight and has her sis
ter's blonde beauty. just little darker, if
possible. and is one of the most thoroughly
popular young girls in society to-day.
Her brother, Orne Wilson, as will be re-
membered, married Miss Carrie Astor two
years ago, and by his alliance, following
that of the Goelet, the Wilson's have be-
come one of the strongest families, socially
speaking, in the metropolis.
This bouquet of five roses plucked from
New Yorks conservatory of beauty will
give good idea of the qualities which go
to make up successful belle in the great
city of the East.

Of the married women whose claims to
leadership, not only from their wealth but
from their gracious manners and beauty,
are conceded, Mrs. Pierre Lorillard the
wife of the great turfman, stands easily
among the first. She was Miss Taylor a
daughter of the Rev. DR.. Taylor. and at her
first entrance into the then comparatively
small circle of New York society, some
twenty years ago, she made decided SEN
sation. Mrs. Lorillard is a tall and dark
brunette, with the most perfectly formed
head and shoulders. Her figure is slight
and her bearing, while having perhaps too
much hauteur, is yet wonderfully graceful.
From the first she has been leader. and
while her somewhat cold manner has pre-
vented any warm adherents it has had the
compensating advantage of making her one
of the most respected women in New York
society. The breath of scandal has
never touched her name and althougha
thorough society woman, she is yet domes-
tic and devoted to her home. Her children,
three sons and daughter, are now all mar
ried with the exception of the youngest
son, Mr.. Griswold Lorillard, who is at
present travelling round the world. Mrs.
Lorillard dresses with the utmost simplicity
and yet with the greatest good taste. Her
costumes are all made abroad and are of
the richest material and Of fauItless fit.
She has often been called the English
beauty, and her cold patrician bearing does
resemble that of her English sisters. Her
favorite ornaments are pearls, and of these
she has triple necklace said to be one of
the handsomest in the world. Although
entering heartily into all her husbands
racing interests Mrs. Lorillard is rarely seen
at the track, but always occupies the. box
seat with Mr.. Lorillard Oh the day of the
coaching parade,

WE TWO.

A Hitherto Unpublished Poem by Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.
We were both Of us, ay? we were both of us
there,
In the self-same house at the play together.
To her it was summer, with bees in the air.
70 me it was winter weather.
We never had met, and yet we two
Had played in desperate woman fashion.
A game of life, with price in view;
But ah? played with passion.
Twas game that meant heaven, and sweet
home life,
For the one who went forth with a crown
upon her,
For the one who lost, it meant love, strife.
Sorrow, despair and dishonor.
Weli-she won? Yet it was not She
am told she is praying woman;
NO earthly power could outwit me,
But hers was superhuman.
She has the prize, and I have-well,
Memories sweeter than joys of heaven;
Memories fierce as the fires of hell,
These unto me are given.
And we sat in the self-same room last night,
And he was there. It is no error
When l say (and it gives me keen delight)
That his eyes met mine with terror.
When the love that we have won at any cost
Has grown familiar, as some old story,
Naught seems SO dear as the love we lost,
All bright with the hearts weird glory.
And though he is fond of that woman, know
saw in his eyes the brief confession
mat the love seemed sweeter which he let go
Thnn the one in his possession.
Sol am content. I would be the same
Were l the winner-love-crowned and
petted,
Anfshe the woman who lost the game;
Then she were the one regretted
And loving him so, would rather be
The one he let go and then vaguely desired,
Than, mourning him once, in his face to see
The lcok of a love grown tired.

Resume.

The week at Minnetonka has been un-
usually quiet. The weather has been un-
propitious, and storms and fogs have hung
on the Shores and the Manitoba breezes of
Thursday kept visitors in doors and city
folks at home. The hotels alone showed
signs of activity, the St. Louis opening
Thursday and the Lafayette Saturday. The
Lake Park is advertised to open on the
25th, and then the season may be said to be
fully inaugurated. In the way of picnics,
those of the First Congregational Sunday
school of Minneapolis and the millers are
the most important. In fact, millers' day
is one Of the events of the season. Yester-
day the millers picnicked at Minnetonka
Beach, and notwithstanding the gloomy
aspect of the clouds, fully 5000 people
were present, and the verdict was good
time. Next week the first yacht regatta
will take place, and lovers of this sport
anticipate fine race.

About three winters ago there appeared
at the opening Patriarchs' ball of the season
at Delmonico's young girl whose beauti-
fully shaped head, fine carriage, but es-
peciaily the dazzling brightness of herscpm-
plexion and skin, caused murmur of as

became at once an object of the greatest
curiosity, and her beauty was discussed

THE powerful and enduring in
t1uence exerted upon American "heirs"
by stories about enormous estates in
in England to which they are entitled
is again shown by the fact that 800 of
the Lawrence ownley theirs" held a
meeting in Detroit on Thursday and
Indignantly rejected as unworthy of
belief the statement procured from our
Minister to Great Britain that there is
in England no Lawrence ownley
estate, nor any known family of that
description, and that there is a Town
ley estate which has been held for a
long time by its proprietors, who are
protected by law and against
whom no n offers any claim.
owing, however, to this state
ment, remarks an exchange, the law
yers appear to have changed the name
anu 1ocaVloh OF the property, although
its value remains at the old sum of
$8OO,OOO,O00. Once it was the Chase
estate, then the Chase Townley. and
thep the Lawrence ownley. Here
after it is to be the Peregrine- Edward
ToWnley.% estate, and the "heirs" are to
be represented by William H. Stewart
and S. ii. Blake, of Toronto. The
vlgor of the association which the
"heirs" have formed affords a remark
able example of the credulity of per-
sons who probably exercise prudence
and common sense in their private af-
fairs, but who really believe that they
can get possession of the "estate,"
which lies on the surface of the moon,
and in no other place.

A SILVER TRIO.

Richard Parks Bland, of Missouri,
A. j. Warner, of Ohio, and Gen.
Weaver, of Iowa, are the three most
extreme men OF the silver question.
Gen. Weaver was the Greenback can
didate for the Presidency in the Gar
field Hancock campaign. He is the
most prolific with financial sugges-
tions Of the three above named. 1t is
said that he has already introduced
enough financial bills and amendments
to the Constitution to occupy the en-
tire session, should his bills, etc., be
reported. He was a Greenbacker when
G~reenbackism had a following and
has always been an advocate of
currency imitation. He is also
an advocate Of the free and
unlimited courage of silver. He is So
years old and was educated as a law.
yer, but of late years has been an
editor.
Mr.. Bland is the most successful of
the three. He is the author of the
bill passed in 1878 to remonetize silver
and to coin 100000 per month-and
since its passage has done little else
but stand guard over his pet measure,
and rarely takes part in any of the
debates except when his favorite, his
life work, is threatened with assault.
His district stands by him in his efforts
to hold up the silver dollar. He is 81
years old and is serving his seventh
term in Congress. He has practiced
law, and has also engaged in mining.
Mr.. Warner, the third member of
the trio, is now serving his third
term. He is nearly as persistent as
Mr.. Bland, but he is not credited with
as much honesty of conviction. He
is well read in all financial matters,
and has the authorities that support
his views at his fingers end He is 81
years old and served as a Brigadier
General of volunteers in the Federal
Army.

Up no THE MARK.

It Is gratifying TO 0eethat our Legis-
lators from this county are determined
to carry out the reform doctrine on
which they were elected. All Of them
we're delegates to the Convention,
where the reforms were demanded,
and good progress has been made in
the few months since then. We firmly
believe that SO far as county affairs, dis
tinct from city affairs, are con-
cerned, the measures will he almost, IL
not entirely complete. Certainly the
steps the people required to be taken,
will be taken.
The bill introduced by Messrs. Ma
gruder and NcCabe, and doubtless en-.
dorsed by Messrs. Bachelor and AL
verson, is just what is needed. 1t pro-
vides that no scrip shall be issued I'M
less there is money in the county
treasury to pay it, that taxes
shall be paid in cash, and forbids an
allowance for repairs on roads unless
contracted for by the Board. That is
valuable. 1t is excellent service.
Messrs. Legislators, and although you
were elected to do it, the people should
feel grateful to you, for they are often
betrayed, by little men, suddenly made
big, by being elected to the Legislature.
For the honest people of the
county, for those who strive only for
what is their due, economical ard ehi-
Gent Government, we thank you.
Weary not in the good work.
But any reform, that does not in
clude the city, is only half reform.
Can you not, gentlemen, save us from
the vicious system, which destroys con-
ddence, and puts the city at
the mercy of hoodlums ig-
noramuses, intriguers, strikers,
bummers, burglars, and those who as
sumo the livery of Democracy, to serve
Radical bosses? Do it, and show the
people you have the courage to protect
the city that has already been robbed
of half a million dollars. Do it, and
give the citizens a chance to rest from
the assaults of those who know
nothing and care for nothing, and give
the city the chance to make the best Of
its present glorious prospects.
