PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Lady Sandhurst was elected member of
the London county council, but the court Of
queens bench has decided that women are
not eligible to that board and her election
was therefore void.
Capt. Andrews, who attempted to cross the
Atlantic ocean in small dory last summer
and was brought kome In deplorable condi-

try the experiment in the Dark Secret again
this summer.
William K. Vanderbilt will build mag
nifcent home near Asheville. N. c., on the
French Broad and Swannanoa rivers. Mr..
Vanderbilt owns 1000 acres of land in this
spot and will build upon an em.nence that
oyerlooks the valleys ofsboth rivers, and from
which there is view in all directions for
miles.
Among the numerous products of that
great wheat growing section of the north
west that has become famous in Congress
under the name of Dakota, cats are not in

been shipped In consequence from Iowa,
where the midnight howlers are more plenti-
full, and they have brought high prices at
their new homes.
In that primitive weekly newspaper, the
New York Packet, there appeared in May.
1889, just after the Inauguration of George
Washington as President, the follwing ad-
yertisements: "a Cook is wanted for the
Family of thePresident of the United States
No one need apply who is not perfect in the
business and can bring ndubitable testimo-
malls OF sobriety, honesty and attention to
the duties of the station" "A Coachman
who can be well recommended for his skill
in Driving, attention to Horses and for his
honesty, sobriety and good disposition would
likewise find employment in the Family of

The only crowned head who will be repre-
sented at the Exposition to be given in Paris
this year is the Gar of Russia, and he is to
be there in person. The Exposition is TO
commemorate the fall of the Bastile, 100 years
ago. and as this acts was blow dealt at
royalty, both In and out of France, ROYALTY is
not going to assist in celebrating its centen-
nial. IL is not love for republican institu-
tons, but desire to secure the friendship of
France. which will induce Alexander III. to
visit the Exposition. France is the only
country that Russia can look to just now for
aid against Germany and Austria

An UntImeIy Request.

The Prohibitionists Of Massachusetts now
20 before the Legislature and ask for the en-
actment OF prohibitory law. Their persis-
tence Is admirable; but In all other respeets
they seem given over to INSANITY. For in
stance Dr. a. A. Miner, who appeared Fri
day before the legislative committee. de-
clared that 1t had been demonstrated that
the Republican party could not deal with
this question, and because it brought about
that demonstration he thanked that party
for their betrayal. And one of Dr. Miners
associates declared that the talk about the
impossibility Of enforcing prohibitory law
was "all bosh." The facts of the case in
Massachusetts, are this: The Prohibition
lists Of Massachusetts asked that constitu-
tional amendment be submitted to the peo-
PIE. The Republican party-the only party
tnat would consider their request-through
the Legislature secured for them the oppor-
tsnity TO test the question on a popular vote.
constitutional prohibition was sadly defeat
cd, whether for better or for worse il is not
necessary to inquire here. Thereupon few
Prohibitionists like DIR. Miner FIRE up and
declare that they have been betrayed by the
Republican party, because it let them try the
experiment with the people. Then after
abusing the party to the best of their power,
they go to a Republican Legislature, tell
them that the talk about the impossibiity of
enforcing prohibitory law is all bosh, and
demand general prohibitory law, although
the people Of Massachusetts have Just de.
clared by vote of $4,000 to 81, 900 that they
don't believe In that way of dealing with the
rum traffic. 1t is difficult to tell which is the
more insane, the idea that the Republican
party is responsible for the defeat of the
amendment, or the idea that law which
majority of the people do no. want can be
enforced in an American commonwealth.
frohlbition is success In Maine because in
most parts OF the State the great majority of
the people approve the law; but in whatever
city or village the law is not approved there
enforcement becomes difficult.

One of the most remarkable novelties in
suicides was the case of young man named
Lewis who was fshed out of Central Park
reservoir last Thursday. When found he
was clothed in evening dress with rose in
his buttonhOle, and everything showed that
he had arrayed himself as carefully as IL he
had been going to attend "swelp' evening
reception instead of plunge into a reservoir.
Not only had he carefully prepared his toilet,
hut he had also written large number of
letters to friends and acauaintances announc-
ing his intention to take his fatal plunge.
These letters were as exquisite as his toilet
They were written on paper bordered with
black, and contained very minute directions
about his funeral. He wanted 'coffin COW
cred with black cloth" with dull silye >
handles" he desired that he should have
two funerals, one at the Fifth Avenue church
and another at a church in Poughkeepsis
which his father attended. That the funeral
should attract much public attention he sug-
gested that great number OF carriages be
hired. The absurdity of the manner of
his suicide was scarcely less than
that OF the cause of it. Ii
seems that he was a young man in COM
Portable circumstances. He was earning
money enough to buy everything he needed
and had fair prospects for the future But
he was ambitious to cut dash and this his
finances would not allow. This and the fact
that his father was engaged in the business
OF keeping livery stable, an occupation
which he considered demeaning, preyed upon
his poor weak mind and moved him to take
his fatal plunge. Young men with his weak
nesses are not very rare but generally they
refuse to drown themselves. What they us
ually do is to flch from their employers and
appease their appetite for "style" until they
get found out. Then, if they have time,
they betake themselves to Canada.

The centennial celebration at New York
is to be very big show. and it is not sur
prising that blunders were committed in get
ting 1t up. But it does seem that some that
have been committed ought to have been
avoided. The slight put upon the diplomat
ic corps by relegating them to very obscure
place In the ceremonies and by emitting to
invite the ladies of their households to the
ball are among the worst and the most un-
pardonable. The great trouble with the
committee In charge OF the ceremonies has
been that Its members were too an xious to
gloriay themselves. and most of its blunders
have been due to this vanity.
