The HOsDital Fad.

Ladies of the Vanderbilt family have mag nifcently endowed women;s hospital, the Astor's have done the same for a cancer hos pital, and these notable examples have set others at work in smaller ways of the same kind. There are many institutions in which beds can be bought, the owner being thereaf- ter privileged to select succession of occu- pants. Thus she can control her own benevo- lence. From this comparatively inexpensive method to that of maintaining an entire ward, or of establishing complete hospital on Q minor plan, our modish women have gone rather extensively into the hospital fad. This is good thing for the poor sufferers, who by means of it get the best medical and surgical treatment. But it is almost comical to sec the swell philanthrophists eagerly searching fof benefciaries. They seem ambi- tious to secure the worst possible cases, and are downright proud when they find some thing horrible or unique At an afternoon tea, over cups of the fragrant beverage, and accompanied by dainty nibhle of cake, good nlatron remarks to arc1pny:

Some weeks ago ht sent type written letter on tho letter head of the firm to a we'll known bell manufac. tory in New York, asking the rrice of bells particularly large church bells, weighing from o,000 to 30,00o pounds. In reply he re ceived a circular and price list, and polit, letter earnestly asking his patronage. Ii, acknowledged it's receipt, saying that h. thought their prices too high, and that ht could do better in San Francisco. The be. makers at once sent their best salesman : California, with instructions to secure tn, contract at any price, and a few days ago Il, walked into the San Francisco house, ant courteously asked for Mr. John Martin. Nc one knew him until the agent showed tht letters, and then the bookkeeper said: ''Tha

 called in and confessed. The agent was yer, wroth, and demanded the instant discharg
 of the lad, but the firm said "No" The. said the boy who could write such good busi ness letters was the kind of boy the, wanted, and they promoted him. He say

GUM CHEWING AS AN ART.

You Can Read Character in It and Teu
 Who Will Win the Garao.
 The habit of chewing gum by men, women, babies, young and old, in the west, is grad ually working it's way east. It is matter of common practice at most health resorts. and strlkingly so at Hot Springs in Arkan- sas, and nearly all the physicians in thest sanitariums commend the exercise as ma terlally aiding digestion, cleaning the storn- ach, and as a help Of breaking off chewers from the use of tobacco
 A few years ago, and even now, ill stalt eastern cities, young lady who chewee gum would be stunned by other fair one: and held up as an example as one on tho direct road to perdition. Whereas, ill Chi cago, Kansas City, St. Paul. Minneapoli. and all the rest of the progressive west an northwest cities and towns, if one can't chs' at least nickel's worth of gum per day or IS not up to the standard. It seems odd, bU there is a perfect dial to the thoughts in tt way tho gum is chewed Let any one chcv ing gum become excited or enthusiastic, st at horse racing or any other interesting O.. joyment, and the mouth will work quick, and with an automatic regularity. Entir, rows of men and women, watching baseball contest, will show on which side the cbewer are betting. When good play is made O. one side the packers of that side chey 1 ferociously; the losing side chew and wor. the gums alphabetically. A home run cause: the masticating and crunching to go on a though worked by Keely motor.
 l A young lady visiting the east from one o the western cities neglected to bring wit her a stock of genuine gum. Life seemed in tolerable, until thoughtful friend sent he. bundle of sweetly scented chewing gum To watch another chewing gum very long will make you hungry, and the young lady mother, having watched her ''chew" for l long tune and seeing the evident relish wit. which she chewed, asked for paper. Afte chewing for five minutes she suddenly threv the gum indignantly out of the window Later, when the young lady's mother re marked that the habit of chewing gum wa pc1nicious, unladylike and vulgar, tn daughter understood that the neophyte i. gum chewing had swollen tongue, chewe, l jaws and bleeding lip. There are slip even in gum.-Baltimore American.

SPEED OF EXPRESS TRAINS.

 Five Mile Straightaway.

 The New England and Consolidated on a
 Five Mile Straightaway.
 An idea of the speed of the locomotives on the Consolidated and the New York and New England roads can be gathered from the following from the Hartford Times: Passengers on two fast express trains had an opportunity to view one another under unusual circumstances this afternoon En- zine No 12S, Engineer Pierce, drawing an express train on the Consolidated road, arrived at Newington at the same time as the express on the New England road, drawn by engine No 63, Engineer Newton. Both express trains were bound the same way, on nearly parallel tracks close together and due in Hartford at the same time. A milo before the respective tracks became parallel tfe occupants of each train could see the other and wagers were quickly made as to which train was the faster. The course was five miles straightaway. When Charter Oak Park was reached the Consolidated train had fallen behind abont two rods and as they both continued to run the New Eng land seemed to be the superior locomotive, having distanced the competitor four lengths when Sigourney street crossing was reached. Of course there was really no racing. Each engineer was merely making his schedule time, but the affair was none the less interesting to the pas sengers.

 The Mass Meeting Presided Over by

 Mayor York presided at a mass meeting of Irish citizens in the New Haven Opera house last evening. The speaker of the evening was Sir Thomas Esmonde, who is on visit to this country. He paid a glowing tribute to the late Stephen J. Meany, and among other things during his address said:
 s'We are now in the midst of our fight against coercion, but I think we are over the worst of it. We have proved that CO., ercion is an absolute and utter failure. To be sure, some of our men have gone to jail, but they have come out none the worse, and 10000 men are ready to do it over again if it win do any good. Our az itation meetings have not been suppressed | and our editors have written what they like. The friendship between the English | liberals and the Irishmen is growing strong CT and stronger every day, There is not a liberal meeting held that Irish members of | parliament are not asked to attend, and once there we always try to educate the Englishmen into proper spirit toward home rule. If there was to be a general election tomorrow. do not hesitate to say that Gladstone would be returned to power by an immense majority. The day is coming and 1 think it is not far off. In closing wish to say that it is right that America's sympathies should go out to | Ireland, for the men who won at Benning ton and Bunker Hill were fighting for the same ends which Irishmen are striving fo1 to-day"

A GAME THAI WAS NO GAME. The Local Poloists Play all Around tht
 Elm City Team.

Elm City Ieam.
 The Waterburys and the New Ravens played polo at the Rink last night, that is the Waterburys did. One could hardly call the feeble work done by the New Ravens playing. All the Waterbury team went in to win, and all through the game they played for those cigars which liar ington promised them if they won. Frazier played in the place of Williams, and he did some fine work his drives for goal being very accurate. Conway and Shea alone played better than all the New Haven team. Conway took the ball away from Leydon several times in way that made that young mans bangs stand up straight. He got angry once and struck a, Conway with his stick, and again he caught hold of him to prevent him from getting the ball, but Conway put him down on the floor in about three seconds. A foul was called on both teams for this The only players of the New Haven team who did anything was Churchill and Full Ter, both of whom played good polo. Churchill was hit in the side once with the bal, and was forced to stop playing for few minutes. Frazier and Donelly were also hurt. Rabbit made some very fine stops at goal The score:

THU MEMPHIS APPEAL
FOR 1886.

The Appeal enters upon ITS forty
sixth year ripe in he experiences OF
the last, aud full of hope for a future
or the whole country, but especially for
this this and the nelghbsring States
that shall surpass the dreams of the
most sanguine. All the question
growing out Of slavery, and which left
trearly. three generations have been set
ted, aud the states have adjusted them
selves to the new conditions in = spir
it of unity, peace and concord. There
are heretofore, no issues before the
country that are not common to all the
people, and that are not Of IN econom
zeal and national character. There arc
20 questions before the Natioaal Leg
t-lature that do not equally affect the
he interestsof the States aud that can
not be discussed from q basis of per
son,l welfare by the by the citizens OF
all OF them. For the future therefore
egisla, on both national and State, is
to be OF business character, and is
for that reason to come home closer
and closer to the individual citizen.
Personal politics is with the bosses, to
be regulated Q the past, and civil ser
vice reform is to secure to the country
honesty efficiency and Industry in
public places. The political outlook
is all that could be desired. Presiden
Cleveland has made an abiding impress
sion upon this csuntry, and At the close
Of his administration will have recon-
ciled even bis political opponents to 8
