sensltlvencss on wall street sion.

A wealthy Michigan, worth $1,000, 900,
paid his first visit TO Wal street recently.
He makes this comment: What inn
pressed me in Wall street is the apparent
sensitiveness of the men there to exhila-
ration or fright. They make me think Of
flock of pigeons on a tree or in barn
yard. You raise your hand and, whoop,
away they 60. Some little report came
into Wall street the day 1 was there, and
whoopl away went the bulls and bears
like flock of scared pigeons. If had
scared so easily I never would have made
any money"
A few minutes later this same man said
that he was getting his business into such
q shape that after he was GO, which would
be three years hence, he could occupy his
time in cutting coupons.
'Then, " said another gentleman, "when
you begin to cut coupons you will be one
of that flock of pigeons. The scariest
pigeon in the world is the man who has
turned his business into stocks and bonds
when he Old. -
The wealthy Michigander spent some
moments in deep meditation. New York

The Famous vvomen's Club.

Not everybody knows just what Sorosis
and its purposes are, although it has been
more talked of and written about than
any organization in New York, at least
during its infancy. Yet there are women
and men in this city who call themselves
intelligent, who frequently ask: What is
Sorosis, anyway What good does it ac-
complish? l never hear of its doing any
wonderful act of benevolence or reform
ing anything" These untaught beings
assume that club of ladies could have or
should have but one purpose in organic
ing, and that must be either philanthropic
or reformatory.
Sorosis is neither. It's purpose is to
enable the intellectual ladies of the city TO
meet and become better acquainted, and
at the same time advance themselves in
tellectually by the discussion of various
topics which could be clasSed under the
head of culture" Its founders were
wise women. They forbade the discus
sion of religious beliefs and opinions, and
the two or three other questions upon
which people are prone to get lighting
mad. To that wise constitutional pro-
vision is due the credit of holding the club
together for twenty years, in the face Of
the widespread belief that women are
able disintegrators. 1t has had its divis-
ions, to be sure, hut they have never
been violent enough to disrupt the so
ciety.-New York Press.

eoarcitx Of 1Yild Animals.

"Another thing which has affected the
business q good deal is the growing
scarcity Of certain kinds of wild animals,
and the closing of some of the depots for
their collection and expectation. Nnbia
and upper Egypt, for example, for long
time were the great headquarters for the
supply of giraffes, elephants, hippopotami
and the double horned rhinoceri, with
many other wild animals, but since the
troubles there, subsequent to the death OF
Gen. Gordon at Khartoum, absolutely
nothing has been received from this
region, which is now barred, for au indefI
mite period, by the impending Italo-Abys-
sinian war. And then again the depots
in South Africa are beginning to close be-
cause the hunters have to go such inn
mcnse distances before they can reach the
lairs Of the wild animals, hundreds Of
miles from their former haunts. The
cause Of this Is the determination of all
kinds by the so called sportsmen, who pour
into that region like they did into the
United States when the buffaloes roved
the plains New York Evening Sun.

For twenty-five years, and even longer,
Mr.. Bergh has devoted his energy and
wealth to the amelioratfon of the condi-
ton of the dumb creation. Since that
time he has seen the modest society which
he founded, and Of which he is still the
president, become one of the strongest
benevolent organizations, not only In this
city, but in America, for there Is now
hardly state in the Union which does not
contain kindred organization. In thirty
seven states and territories laws forbid
ding the I'll treatment Of animals have
been passed, and in thirty-four OF them
societies 10 carry out their provisions have
been organized. Canada, Mexico, Cuba
and several South American countries
have aided the good work by organizing
societies, and the passage Of laws is GER
tain to follow. Very few men have ever
lived to see the work which they started
grow 20 snch colossal proportions, and
there Is no other reformer now living who
has witnessed the spread of h's ideas over
so vast territory Benjamin Eorthrop.

The Borierlana Of Briberv.

The custom of paying eminent barris-
ters large retainers to hold their tongue,
and not appear on the other side, has the
features of own cousin to bribc, especi-
ally if any jurist so committed stiles his
convictions and looks on quietly to sec
injustice done. I was informed by the
treasurer of q Massachusetts, railroad,
fifty years ago, that to get ahead of the
parties wishing to tap it with q rival road,
he ran with all haste to Daniel Webster's
Office across the way. Webster, who had
been already approached, but not re-
tanned, in the adverse interest, and who,
perhaps, preferred the new comer's cause,
answered, in cultural tones, that made
the treasurer stare: There are no bones
broken, there is no blood split" and put
the retainer of 500 easily earned dollars
in his yest pocket. Rev. DR.. Bartoi IN

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

Pierce, Churchill and Riley will prob ably sign with the Bridgeports.
 Last week three members of the Bridge port team were fined for indifferent play ing. Abercrombie caught s5 as his DOT tlon and refused to go on the floor last night unless the fine was taken off. Man ager Harris told him he could put on his clothes and go home Abercrombie is now laid off for the rest of the season without pay.
 Bridgeport played polo last night and defeated the great Hartford-Pawtucket team by a score of 3 to 1. The Hartford team presented Seeley and Swords at rush CTS, Cotter at center, Sullivan at half-back and Joe Riley at goal. Bridgeport matched against them 'sMuil'' Smith and Rogers as rushers, Beeson at center, Kirke at half back and John Smith at goal. The con test from the start was very exciting and was the best game of the season.
 A small audience witnessed the Water bury-New Haven game at the latter place last evening. Williams secured all tht rushes and the team in general played goot polo, although they were defeated by thu interesting score of to 1. Two fouls were called on each team. Donnelly acted a referee.

Prove to be Brothers.

The two men killed near Noank last Wednesday by the Stonington express have been identified. The bodies are those of Thomas and Frank Garland, brothers. They came from St Martins, N B.

THE SECONDS CONCERT AND BALI

THE SECONDS CONCERT AND BALL. l The Armory Crowded With Large Com
 pany of Yonng People.
 Among the social events of the season the annual concert and ball of Second Division, A. o. H., figures conspicuously and has pleasant place in the memory of lovers of festivities. Indeed it excells all other occasions of it's kind in the large parties that it calls together. The diving snow storm last night did not have any effect upon the divisions fourth annual at the Armory. The girls came in gossamers and warm wraps, which when thrown aside, revealed them in all their fnery. Seven or 800 of them came through the storm, which gave healthful flush to the cheeks, and the young men swelled the number to over 1 200. This makes pretty large party, and when they were all on the floor there was considerable pleasant jostling of one another, which seemed to add to the cor diality and sociability of the occasion. The Amphion orchestra, ten pieces, occu- pied the stage at the north side of the Ar mory and opened the festivities with con- 1 cert of five numbers. The gallery was | crowded and the dancing floor was we'll sprinkled with those who had come to participate in the festivities. The concert over sixteen members of the Division in full regalia under command of Com D. J. | Casey gave an exhibition drill. The wheeling was fine and the alignment per i feet, and when the company turned and wheeled they were met with loud applause There were some fancy movements, the principal of which was the formation of A. O. H. This was the signal for loud demonstration from the spectators. l The grand march was formed immediate ly following the exhibition, MT and Mrs James Madden leading the long, intertwin ing procession of humanity. I. Uffendale called the figures and IS were danced be- fore the music ceased and the merry danc- CTS left for home. The committees who had charge of the affair acquitted them selves with great credit.

Brooklyn is determined not to be out done by New York in helping to carry out the wish of the dead patriot. John Mu1- lins, the well known furniture dealer on Myrtle avenue, in that city, has written to The Star that he will contribute $100 toward defraying the expense of taking the remains home to Ireland.
 The Press Club will pass suitable resolu- tions at their next meeting, and a commit tee from that organization will be asked to take charge of any fund collected.
 Some friends have suggested that con- tributions be received for monument, while others have suggested that the funds be given to the family. The ultimate uses to which it will be put "ill be decided by the committee later on, in accordance with the wishes of his friends.
 The Star heartily approves of any move ment to honor MT Meany's memory, and will do anything in it's power to forward it. That such an effort would succeed there can be no question, for no man had more loyal friends than Stephen J. Meany.
 The contributions forwarded to The Star yesterday were without solicitation and were inspired simply by the desire of his former comrades to testify their apprecia- tion for his memory.
 The New York Times this morning con GdlllS tuo IOllOWlQS: Ouo SouGlSLudu uaS guaranteed to raise $2, GOO to send the body to Ireland, provided that the Press Club will take charge of the funds and see to their proper disbursement. The Trustees of the Club, at their meeting yesterday, consented to accept the trust, and if the necessary funds are raised, the contribu tors may be assured that no selfish patriot will be sent with the remains to Ireland. !" The recently established EVENING DEMO GRAF of Waterbury sustained a severe loss in the death of it's editor, Stephen J. Meany, the noted Irish patriot. His last words were, "Tell them was true to Ire land" He twice suffered long imprison- ment for love of country, and the efforts he put forth in Erin's behalf. Mir Meany was an effective speaker, and forceful writer.-Willimatic Journal

REvERED IN NEW YORK.

The following is from this mornings New York Star: The late Stephen J. Meany loved his native land so we'll during his life that he made many trips across the Atlantic at the risk of his liberty and even his life. Leinster's sunny slopes and Listers rugged mountains were sources of much inspiration to the patriot. He often told his intimate friends that he knew he would rest happier under the sod of his native land, and he wanted to be buried there.
 Since his death number of his friends have recalled this wish, and have taken steps to establish fund sufficient to defray the expense of sending the body to Ireland. The following communication was received at the Star office yesterday:
 NEW York, Feb 10.
 To THE EDITOR THE STAR-SIR-Your notice to-day of the late Stephen J. Meany must recall membrance of one of the most unselhsh of men and truest of patriots. Possessed of talents as a writer of the highest order, of personal qualities friends, and of business qualifications whose ex- ercse would years ago have procured him com potency, he sacrificed all. and surrendered even his liberty for the good of his country. No one will say that his exertions have not borne good fruit. Few have contributed more than he to the present hopeful signs of approaching Irish self government, and no one has deserved better of his country
 With feelings of love for the man, we beg you to take charge of the inclosed mite, to be applied toward the erection of a monument or i'll such other way as may seem best, either to do justice to his memory, or to smooth the path of those wno have been dependent upon him.
