bilt are said to bear a striking resemblance
to each other. Both are fine-looking men,
and the compliment can safely be divided

IT is not generally known that Mrs. Rus
sell Harrison is an wi cousin of Mrs. Rob-
ert Lincoln. 1t was at the home of the
then Secretary of War Lincoln that Mrs.
Harrison stayed as a guest during the early

her wedding. In connection with this fact

w. J.. ARKELL met Ward McAllister at
Chauncey M. Depew's house, the other
afternoon, and availed himself of this very
favorable opportunity to assure the leader
of the Four Hundred that if he gave him
his own picture and the pictures of his
fashionable army for publication that he
that is to say, Mr.. ~Arkell-wOuld be able to
make his eternal fortune. Mr.. McAllister
responded that if he attempted to point out
the Four Hundred il would create greater
excitement than had been aroused over the
selection of ladies with ancestors for the
| opening quadrille at the centennial ball.
In fact, he said he did not know who the
Four Hundred were. AS for furnishing his
picture for publication, Mr.. McAllister said
that he had never done anything of the
kind and didn't care to begin now. AS Mr..
krkelPs~ journalistic idea was dissolving all
together, Mr.. Depew came to the rescue and
| assured him that he would secure Mr.. Nc
| Allister's picture and furnish it for publica-
ton himself. And he probably will.
