Mrs. Grants palat,sl Home.

All through the autumn there has been
an army OF work men in the Grants new
house on Seventy-third street, which was
purchased with the proceeds OF the gen.

som ething like $500, ZOO. 1t Is q big house,
with room enough for Mrs. Sartoris and
her children, who will probably spend
much OF her time there In the future. The
sons, too, will be there with their families
from time to time. as Mrs. Grant means
the house to be- the home and center of the
entire family. The first guest In the new
house will be the wiie of President. elect
Harrison, who is an old friend of Mrs.
Grant, and even before her husband was
nominated, promised to come to the new
house for a long visit as soon as 1t was
done. Originally the intention was SIM
ply reunion OF two quiet. elderly friends,
but as matters now stand Mrs, Grant will
probably throw open her doors and invite
the great world 70 meet the new first lady
OF the land. Mrs. Levi 4. Morton, who
has handsome house on Fifth avenue,
three doors from the one that was occupied
through the campaign by the republican
national committee, will try to induce
Mrs. Harrison to be her guest during q
portion Of her stay. They have never

MRS. JAY GOULD.
She Started Her Husbands Prosperity

She Started Her Husbands Prosperity
and Is Now Millionaire Herself
Jay Gould's wife, whose all but fatal
illness has brought her out of her accus-
toned privacy into public consideration,
was comparatively rich when she married
says a New York letter to the Philadel.
phia Press. Her name was Martin, she
was the heiress of rich grocer and upon
going into wedlock she was possessor of
about the time of Jay Gould's first opera
tions in this city. The history of her for
tune here told imperfectly, but for the
first time, is blended with her husband 3
colossal accumulations and yet is separate
Mrs. Gould lent her 5000 to her husband
and he used it in the beginning of his ca =
reer of prosperity. For while the
outlook was not good for repayment.
Gould calculated his chances carefully and
his ventures turned out productivity at
length, but first along il seemed as though
he would lose every dollar. Indeed it was
not until he fell in with jim Fisk, and they
his wife's thousands began to multiply
hemselves. That was the capital with
which he worked at the outset As soon
as he could do so he separated her proper
ty from his own, and carried it along in
separate Investments, altogether with her
assent and generally at her direction
She followed his lead, as a rule, though
at times she INDUCED her own
fancy or judgment. Thus her wealth
grew along with his until three years ago,
when she demanded an accounting from
him. She jocosely declared that she would
trust him no longer. and that she meant
to retire from Wall street to set him
good example. II for nothing else. Gould
had his book keepers figure up his wife's
interest exactly, and took all of her stocks,
bonds, and other securities of of her hands
at their market value. Tue yield of this
to her was over S2,000.000. She invested
her money in government bonds and other
securities of undoubted solidity. This is
her personal fortune, and the understand.
ing of her intimate friends is that she will
devise it at her death to her daughters.

Matron Boyle recently explained why il

Strange to say, French female domestics
are scarce.
AS rule, French girls all learn some

various branches of the dress and cloak
manufacture and such like at home, and
they will seldom allow themselves to live

AT this season of the year the officers of
the German Society are busy sending over
to the fatherland drafts for small amounts,
which the German maids and mechanics
send to their parents and relatives at home
as Christmas presents.
These drafts usually amount to from
. to 100 marks, or perhaps more, and the
society charges next to nothing for trans
mitting these trifling sums, with which
the average banker don't care to bother.
Last year the society handled 100000 in
this way, and this year Superintendent
Hoffman says it will be close to a quarter
of million dollars. rs.-New York World.

NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND A YEAR.
How Wealthy Russian Duke Manages to
WaAte His Income in Paris.

Row wealthy Russfan DUKE manages TO
waste His Income I'm Paris.
Brilliant novelists and dramatists would
undoubtedly find subject worthy of study
and description in the person OF the Duke
of Mondeli. an opulent member of the i'm
portant Russian colony in Paris. The duke
leads life which resembles to a certain
extent that of those Roman emperors or
Oriental potentates described by pictur-
esque historians. He lives in splendid
hotel in Avenue du Bois de Boulogne with
his mother, Princess Woronzoff, who was
a sister of Prince Nicholas Troubetzoff
and member of the household of the czar
before her lawsuit with her nephew, Count
Waronzoff, one of the Emperor Alexander's
court marshals.
The Duke Of Mondelfi is reputed to have
g1S0, 900 year, most of which he manages
to spend in magnificent manner. He
never goes to bed until daylight appears,
and he generally gets up at 3 clock in the
afternoon. After a meal, and extended at
full length on q sumptuous divan, he re-
ceives his friends and visitors, his mother,
the princess, being present ut the levee.
On these occasions the duke wears either o
superb dressinR.gown in an ivory .colored
plush. lined with satin of the hue of the
peach and garnished with silver braiding
and ornamented with jewels. or an
ample jacket of heliotrope velvet, gold
braided and clasped together with lucal
coronets studded with brilliants. While
conyersin0 with his visitors the host, it is
said, toys with precious stones and dia-
mouds of rare value, but polished and un-
cut In the intervals Of conversation
band of Neapolitan singers warble the
melodious airs of sunny Italy, and these
are succeeded by Tzigane musicians, who
make the ducal halls ring with their wild
and diabolical strains.
After each musical performance the
leader of the band approaches the divan,
kisses the hand of the most noble master
of the house and receives his orders for the
next moroccan of demoniac music. Late in
the evening the duke repairs to a splendid
cafe on the boulevards. where he dimes
with his friends and listens once more to
the iddlers, to whom he distributes boun-
tiful larResse in the shape of fistfulls of
louis, while his guests quaf liberal bump
ers Of sparkling champagne in his honor.
Such isan outline of the ordinary life of
an aristocrat in this country, which. des-
pits its Spartan republicans and the
lamentations of those who praise past days,
is still evidently rendezvous of the gay
and the uxurious.-LondOn Telegraph.

WAR DEPARTMENT SECRETS.

Inventors who Present Plans For Coast
Defenses Are sworn to silence.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The fortifca.
tion board are at work in the war depart.
ment, but exactly what they have done or
are doing Ia something of mystery. They
have adopted stringent rules us to their
procedure. Upon an inventor appearing
before the board for the purpose of pre-.
senting his plans or submitting designs he
takes an oath not to dlvulge any OF the
proceedings of the board. What he sees
and hears in the board room is as sealed
letter. and is not to be known or discussed
outside.
On the other hand the board pledges it.
sof not to divulRe the designs or dra wings
presented. Should they be accepted, or
should they he deemed to possess sufficient
merit to be retained for future use by the
government the inventor will receive re.
Enumeration commensurate with their
worth.
The question of the seacoast defences is
now before the board, and during the
week several we'll known engineers have
appeared before 1t, and some designs for
the better protection of our coasts and har-
bors have been submitted.
The work of converting the Watervliet
arsenal into an army ordnance gun foun-
dry. in accordance with the recent fortif-
cation act, ought to be in full progress by
the first Of the year. The preliminary
steps in the way of procuring bids for the
excavation of sites for the large machine
shop, additional officers quarters and ma
chinery have been taken, and contracts for
these objects will be entered into within
the next two weeks. The plans for the
several buildings, the large travelling
cranes, the large steel hammer etc.. are
in course of preparation by the ordnance
officers appointed to act in conjunction
with the ordnance and federation board in
enarging the plant at this arsenal.
BY the time the excavations are com.
pleted the ordnance bureau hopes to have
all the preliminary arrangements made for
geipg on with the construction of the
buildings in order that there may be as
little delay as possible in getting the ar
senal in a condition for putting together
the heavy guns, forgings for which will
soon be contracted for. The first of these
forglnRs ought to be delivered within the
next twelve months, and it is the desire of
the ordnance bureau to be prepared to pro.
ceed with the manufacture of guns as rap.
idly as the forgin1s are delivered. Within
two years. or by the time the largest of the
gun forsings are ready to be delivered, it
is expected that the arsenal will be in
thoroughly equipped condition for any de-
mand that may be made upon it.
