WALL SUING DORSHEIMER
THE ALLEGED HORSE WHIP
PING THE CAUSE.

INC DuOe Mig NOT hAu as EOoh as
Many People Think-An Underground
Railroad on the Tapis-Pretty Babes
in the Care OF Mikado Maids-Cable
Mistaken for BunkO Steerer.
NEW YORK, Jan. Sc. Berry Wall,
the bankrupt "King of the dudes,"
is sueing United States District At
t)rney Dorsheimer for $4,000 dam
ages for an alleged libellous publica-
ton in his organ, the star. The defend
ants paper few weeks ago stated thai
Mr.. Wall was horsewhipped by a gentle
man Tor persiatently following his wife on
the street. MIR. Wall pronounces the
whole STORY a malicious fabrication. If
he can prove righteousness on the part Of
the publisher he NAV stand some slight
cnance OF winning his suit. Malicious
ness is usually difficult to prove, however,
and Mr.. Walps chances may be said TO
be AZ the least somewhat doubtful. Wall
is not half the bad fellow he is pictured,
and though not in the financial straits in
which many people fancy him, there are
not few men in society and about town,
who would he glad to hear that he had won
his case. W all has much more generous
sloCh vi DIdlNS lUhu ulosL ItOplS give mn
credit for, and the larger part OF his
loss9s were not incurred in fast living,
horses. cards, or the numerous escap0des
mat have been attributed TO him. Most
Of his money went into Wall street. v where
many man with more brains han Wall
is credited with has succumOed, The
horees that he kept more than paid their
own expenses 10y their Winnings on the
turi, and il was not because OF his mis-
fortunes IN that direction that JUDI
ment WAS taken out against MIN for ST.
100. The debt for which they were sold
was one carried by a stOckbrOker to whom
Wall had paid fifty times that sum IN bad
/ specuiatiOus. The greatest fault which
/ THIS interesting young mSA has is his all
hOrrence OF "business"-which is feel
ing not in Keeping with his birth. He is
not one Of the insipid type Of dude, nor
does he affect the society of young
! ladies'. Most of his time is spent
with young meR, and although he prob
house in town, he rarely goes out in socI-
ETY.. HE only occupation is in racking
his brain for original ideas in dress. His
money is inherited. He has $20O.000 now,
and will have considerable more when
his aunt dies. Dame Fortune is also
credited with holding two or three other
large legacies which VIII be lavIshed on
him when the present holders die.
RAPID TRANSIT IN NEW YORK.
New York is convinced at last that it
ought u set seriously 10 work at supply
ing itself with a reliable system OF rapid
transit, and has reached the conclusion
that the only feasible plan and line Of
travel Is 4-track underground road un-
derlying Broadway. A company has oeen
Incorporated to eXpend $36, 600, 900 in mis-
direction, but the road, dyerging at Mad
sOn square to each side OF Central park
/ and thence to Harlem river, will
cost twice that sum. Another
company proposes to tunnel Fourteenth
and Twenty-third streets from river TO
river. Meanwhile the old Arcade Under
ground railway, with its magnillce mt plan
Of new underground Broadway from the
Battery to Harlem river, Is still pushing
[ its plans on which II has been AT work
/ for eighteen years. More city railroads
/ are a necessity, as wei as rapid transit.
1 New Workers could not get along with
! out Mr.. Sharp's Broadway surface road
! now, and that enterprise, as an invest
I ment, proves veritable gold mine. The
conductors on the line are said 10 be turn
/ ing very pretty penny. After putting S.
! in their own pocket daily, after the Re-
/ publican rule OF division and silence, they
4 turn in $2S to $50 to the G mpany, The
u
/ punches and registering stand a poor
I show against the shrewd men " no stimuli
taneously manipulate them and handle
I the nickels. The surface railroad men
I have not only made dash for
/ Fifth avenue, but they propose TO lay
/ violent hands upon Central Park. They
! are petitiOning the Park Commissioners
/ To allow them to build an underground
1 railroad under the driveway which
] faprral papLy IL at
/ Eighty-sixth street. The pretense is &C.
| cOmmOdatiOn of the pubIc-the real OBJ
4 ject is 10 get hold upon the park, with
the idea of burrOwIng under it in the
/ future I'm every direction. The projectors
/ OF this innovation mean business, have
/ plenty of money, and will follow it up In
! spite OF the con 7ervatives on the avenues,
snd the latter will not have popular SYM
! pathy with them in spite OF the desecra-
/ ton of their favOrite drives.
JAPANESE NURSE.
| Another new wrinkle which is apt to
/ become popular unless Congress shuts OFT
| the supply ny passing an antl-Japanese
| law. is putting the children OF fashionable
| people under the care Of nurses from that
! far OF country. The idea originated with
/ one OF the fashionable mothers uptown
who brought home with her from abroad
/ Japanese nurse for her little one. and
/ the sight of the odd looking creature go-
I ing about the streets OF New York with
her iutantile charge was such a novelty
as TO create a craze" at once. she is
clad always in her native costume, and is
( as much of = curiosity as was Mrs. Lang
/ try's famous Japanese tiger" which
attended her upon the occasion of her
last visit TO America. The child seems
much attached 10 her almond.eyed nurse,
who, in her turn, appears perfectly serene
aud happy, as though she thought her
lines had fall en- in pleasant places.
CABLE AS A BUNKo ARTIST.
I George w. Gable, the novelist. came to
1 town the other day, as he often does, from
his New England home. He wished 10
meet Mr.. RushtOn, the Texas cattle
raucher, and went TO a Broadway hotel
whore the man was guest. Gable had
never seen Mr.. Rushton. "He is about
the corridor somewhere" said the clerk.
and so Gable looked about for a somewhat
questionable and rustic figure, such as
/ he though the STRANGER might be An
he said anably TO the first individual of
that description who came along. "are
/ you Mr.. RushtOny" The accOsted man
gazed impudently into the inQulIer's face
aud then shortly answered, NO" Caole
is a very polite little fellow, and he was
hurt by the lack Of poiteness, but ne
passed on until be met another who he
thought might be the right one. This is
