Pretty Blonde Who L. Cutting q Dash In
New York Society.
tCiara Bellies Letter to tie Phaad.iphia Prsul
At the theatres and in the Park O woman of
blonde beauty has been attracting much at
tention throughout the season. She is the
Baroness Blanc, well known in Philadelphia,
and the very big and handsome young man
who forms one of the large group of mascu-
lines that is ever about the fair creature il
the husband, NJ. le Baron. Folks used to
doubt his right to the title, but that has been
Baroness is particularly conspicuous for her
exquisite toilets, each one of which figures
only upon o single occasion. She sits in
variably in the front chair Of o box, gazing
curtain is up, and over the audience between
the acts.
A man of some sort is always whispering
into her ear. She smiles occasionally, and
taps him with her fan when he Is especially
clever: The woman's face is not sufpris-
ingly beautiful. II IL only striking because
its complexion is somewhat heightened by
rouge and the hair above it is bleached to
a brilliant yellow. Her figure Is slight and
stylish and her costumes are unexceptiona-
Bile. On pleasant afternoons the Baroness
drives a pair Of chestnut cops in q phaeton
out over the Park. At her feet lies o huge
mastif. A, groom perches behind her.
Sometimes there is q man at her side. Every

in the sun, her hat is o wonder of gorgeous
millinery, and she handles. her reins and whip
like q thoroughbred She always urges her
ponies to q spanking gait and Whiris BY ali
the numbering hacks and bareuches on the
road with q great showing of disdain and
j~ingling harnesses.
In the theatres. the Park and cafes, the
Baroness il ever brilliant to the eye and un-
doubleday depicting to the purse. She cuts
the greatest dash Of any young woman In
New York, and besides enjoying all the eI-
trayagant Embellishments that go with daily

her house on Fifth avenue the best Of sun
pers, the best of wines and the best of good
cheer find generous dispensation.
In view Of this. some one asked the question
the other night Of how M. lie Baron, with an
income that might supply his household with
Its orchids and gAslight, but nothing more of
its richness, managed to keep such a bright
eye and rudy cheek over the dazzling life
his wife is leading him through.
Such questions as these in New York are
never squarely answered.

Everybody. or pretty much everybody,

Pfeffer is the promoter " of q brand Of
champagne and he is to be found at any
public gathering where congregate the class
Of people who are inclined TO ''open wine."
He was conspicuous at the recent bicycle

on duty at the Garden pointed out q dapper

him about with curious eyes: He made Q

upon q real, live bunco ~steerer.

could speak thew had cordially and CarAmn-

Of how he had been g%rleyously insulted by

BOOkkecpinR

Over in Avenue b is an ancient who deals
in groceries in a small way in q little 7 by Q
store. His name is Isaac Woodruff and he
has been there these twenty years. and tradi-
ton has it that he has accumulated q fortune
here.
He can neither read nor write, but he does
a large credit trade in q small way and his
methods of bookkeeping are startlinRly
novel.
He keeps the account of each customer In
a separate book, and his neighbors say that
his books are always correct to q farthing,
and no body ever yet succeeded in cheating
him out of a penny.
In the books purchases are recorded by o
peculiar series Of marks Of vary ing lengths.
Thus q dot indicates one cent; Q very short
perpendicular mark, Ave cents. q large one.
10 cents, and SO on.
Being unable to write the name of the GUS
toners on the books. he places each by itself
against or near to some fixed object.
For instance, job ooe's book is by the
mustard can, RichNgd Roe's accounts are
in the starch drawer. Samuel Soe's under the
cheese box, and so on. Old Ike does o large
business and there are no complaints Of mis-
takes in his accounts.

A Marble John l.. Sullivan localized, Re.
fined and Classic.

""VN ~uu SA11bAC
An EVENING WORLD reporter strayed into Q
downtown liquor store yesterday afternoon.
He went there to catch q man who had lust
stepped across from some other store. His
VISIT had nothing to do with getting a drink,
of course.
He strolled into the back part of the room
the gentleman he sought in that part of the
establishment. There are nice little tables
standing round, where people can sit very
comfortably.
The reporter seated himself and az he
looked up gave a start. On a pedestal id the
middle of the rear part of the room was O
man., q tall white man, very white indeed,
so that he looked almost like q ghost, only
that ghosts do not have the kind Of q biceps
that this fellow had.
He hadn't a stitch of clothing on him, and
II was very evident hat he was travelling ON
his shape. His hands were held up In that
repelling way in which one likes to meet an
other in the circle where the Marquis Of
Queensberry is thought most Of.
What the deuce is all that ?" asked the
reporter of the bartender.
THAT'S John l.. Sullivan" replied the
barkeeper as he rubbed q tumbler. "Ain't
he dandy ?"
He certainly was, at least as he stood there
In cold white marble against O background of
brown draperies. John has never been more
perfectly knocked out than he has by the
Boston sculptor who knocked him out l. the
marble in this shape.
The figure ID of heroic size and the pose In
a very natural one. There 10 little doubt but
that the face is considerably idealized, az Il
Is refined and classic, though stern. II Is

drops in for q cocktail 10 meet such q vision

Justice Tempered with Mercy and Leavened
with Common sense.


Patrick Gavan Duffy tempers justice with
mercy and there is a homely flavor of sound
common sense in many of the sentences
which he imposes on the culprits hailed be-
fore his maglsterial bar.
This morning there shuffied along among
the prisoners a colored man, whose mistit
trousers showed a tendency to break
acquaintance with his vest, and whose whole
air was one of sullen detection.
The line hltched along as the leader was
arraigned and disposed of, and at every hitch
an anXious-eyed, worn-faced mulatto
woman on the witness-bench showed stronger
and stronger symptoms of nervousness and
agitation.
Finally it was the sullen citizen from
Thompson street at the head of the line, and
when Peter jackson " was called by the
little magistrate he slouched up to the rail
and the tired little woman stepped up as q
witness.
The Judge spoke to her kindly, and then
sternly to the prisoner SAID Peter, your
wife says you haven't worked in three weeks,
have been drunk most of that time and have
spent about all she could earn by washing in
more drink"
The little m nodded her head at each
charge and looked anxiously at the prisoner.
~ wouldn't mind, You Honah, if he
didn't spend the money l earn for the chill
dren, i" said the woman;
How much money have you got, Peter ?"
demanded the Judge.
Jes 80 cents, boss" replied the prisoner,
with o self satisfied leer.
II want it, Peter, to buy potatoes" chimed
in the wife.
Then the Judge said, in q voice of unmis-
taxable import and u frown as black as mid
night: viii you give her what money
you've got ?"
No, l won't. I'll give her nothin'," re-
piled the prisoner, doggedly.
Thirty days ON the ~1sland-take him
away, 4" calculated the Court, and as he wrote
his autograph on the commitment he NUT
tered IF he'd shown q good disposition
