One Prominent New Yorker Takes

When THE Critic rounder stepped into
Chamberlin's Thursday morning 20 see
how many fresh distinguished citizens
had arrived in town since he was there
last, he saw n handsome elderly gentle
man eornering u voluptuously-dressed
swell at q nearby table, who was neither
so old, or so good.looking as himself lie
was talking TO him with emphatic earn
estness and the swell had pretty much tho
appearance of an unregenefate sinner

There were only n few persons in their
vicinity and the elderly man was having

that the handsome man was Lawrence

wall. The Rounder, of course, had no
business to listen, but his business was TO
near and he heard, as did the others in
the room. Larry was evidently getting
his blows in under Berry's belt and Berry
was suffering, but lie stood mn and took
1t Ike little man. Berry had evidently
ordered champagne cocktail rs an adj
vance agent to his empty stomach TO pre-
pare II for the reception of very late
breakfast; and Mr.. Jerome had entered a
protest, in which there was q large guam
| tity of sulphur.
'ln the sacred name Of economy, yOung
man, he said "what do you mean by
such extravaganza as champagne before
breakfast ?''
"Well, Uncle Larry" replied Berry ~

"Oh, do your So do l. but Yesterday
when wanted one, braced up against
the demands OF my palate and took a ten

"But where's the pleasure, when YOU

not when the man brings them to You in

"Yes, and I'll go over TO New York and
break that fellows business" said Berry,

Right you are, Berry; if he will only

unbusiness,like fashion. How much Of

"Oh, about $1,000 year, but that's

NOMINEES Or PLUME.
A few years ago il was the custom for
all writers to assume some name other
than their own and sign It 10 their news
paper articles Some few wrote their ini-
tials. Fanny Fern was the first woman
the writer recalls who made herself ma
tionally famous. About that time came
Grace Greenwood. A little later Miss AL
colt and one or two others were brave
enough to write under their own sigma
lures, but these writers were associated
with magazines and authors Of books,and
were not the ephemerals hanging to the
ragged edge Of the daily press. When the
writer began her journalistic work IL was
sent to the daily newspaper without sig-
nature, but when IL blossomed into print,
10 behold, 10 had name bestowed on II
by the editor who afterward added by
way of encouragement, "lf you work as
! have toiled IL you dig deep into the in
tellectual mine Of your own soul, You
Will become one of the famous women of
your day" Oh, shade of tile dear de.
parted, look with pity upon weakness
and lost opportunity. The path was SO
steep and the thorns so sharp ~Rardon

A Green Luncheon.

Only one woman in Washington has
had the courage to give "a green lunch-
con-" says the New York Press. The
courage, II must be said, was born in the
sublime confidence ofa conch-shell COM
pleXion, golden locks, dark eyes and
superb indifference as to the effect of the
most trying color in the world on the hair
and skin of twenty girl guests. Red, pink,
startling innovation-carried outnot only
as to the lights, which made twenty girls
ghastly, but in the table decorations and
the dress of the hostess. She was distract
ing in liberty dress Of nile-green India
silk, with beryl necklace and ornaments.

What Are Trusts /?

For some time past there has
been a great cry going up through
out the United States against a
something called @trusts." A great
many have used the term blindly,
and the great political parties be-
gan to accuse each other of foster
ing trusts" until it became abse-
lutely imperative for some great
mind to give correct definition.
The Hon. J. G. Blaine, in speech
at Portland, Maine, one day last
week, said concerning trusts"
"They are largely private affairs,
with which neither President Cleye-
land nor any private citizen has any
right to interfere.
Now the question arises: How
is this statement to be takenin con-
nection with the following clause
from the republican national plat
form:
eve declare our opposition to all
combinations of capital, organized
in trusts" or otherwise to control
arbitrarily the condition of trade :

to see a monster alligator on the

the child alive and then died him

Woman Suffrage Unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court of Washing
ton Territory, in again depriving
the women of that Territory of the
right Of franchise, were compelled
to 60 to the U. S. Constitution for
pretense. The court holds that
the word "citizen" in that liberty
giving document is applicable to
males only, and hence any State or
Territory granting the right of suf-
frage to females legislates in direct
contradiction of the constitution of
the United States. A decision ofthe
U. S. Supreme Court on this point
is awaited with interest.

Gold in Lava Rock.

An item has gone the rounds of
the press at intervals, says the Sho-
shone Journal, that the immense
bed of lava rock covering the Snake
river valley for hundreds of miles
will assay high in gold. An old
miner, who claims to have thorough
ly tested the matter, says this is a
mistake. True, he has had lava
rock assayed which gave a return
of $50 to the ton, but in nine cases
out of ten not a trace was found.
He accounts for it in this way:
Flour gold is found wherever sand
exists on the Snake river plains.
Whenever this porous lava rock is
imbedded in the sand the pores act
as receptacles for the flour gold and
fine sand, hence the assay in gold
Only few years ago quite an<ex-
element was raised in SaltLake
City over the assaying Of several
chunks of lava, some Of which run
very high, and it was this that
caused the Journal informant to in-
vestigate. He found that the
chunks of lava were taken from q
placer claim near Eagle Rock, and
that lava blasted from an exposed
reef did not contain a trace of gold.
He has since taken lava rock yellow
with gold from rich deposits of sand
in his placer claim onSnake river,
but has never seen such rock blast
ed from solid reef.
