A REMARKABLE BALL.
People with Available Cash Cast Shade of
Gloom Over the Hereditary Aristacracx

People with Available Cash Cast Shade of
Gloom Over the Hereditary Aristocracy.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-A London special to
the Times says: A very remarkable ball
was given at the Hotel Metropole last
night. 1t was not only remarkable in size
and lavish expenditure, the cost being
$4,000, but it furthermore punctuated
strongly the gradual rise of finance in
England over the old aristocracy. 1t was
given by Col. John T. North, Familiarity
known as the Nitrate king. Colonel North
is Yorkshire boy, who went to South
America some twenty years ago and saw
an opportunity. To-day he is the most
talked-of man in England. He is worth
from $4O,OOoOOO to $6O,OOO,OOO, and late
ly has been using his knowledge
of the stock market to better
the fortunes of certain well-known
people. Lord Randolph Churchill was the
first to benefit from Colonel North's power,
and his profits are variously named in tens
of thousands. Lord Randolph arranged a
dinner lately. at which Colonel North
met the Prince of Wales, and the result
was that Wales was given 1900 shares in a
late allotment of new stock, which now
stands at FL, making 10000 for the heir
apparent. As the Prince has lately been
selling off the stock at Sandringham ON an
economical basis, the money Is, perhaps,
timely.
These circumstances, and the extent to
which various members of the aristOcracy
have protited lately IN stock ventures, lent
unusual interest to the ball. The Colonel.
whose delight it is to be lavish, hired every
thing in the Hotel Metropole what was
vacant. The white hall suite of bathrooms,
reception-rOOms etc., was added to by one
hundred bedrooms for country guests.
There were 400 invitations and 400 guests,
ranging in the social scale from the old aris-
tocracy to popular theatrical people. 1t
was mixed to the last degree, but being a

Rutherford Il. Hayes's Library and Its
MethOdical Arrangement.

Rutherford Il. Hayess Library and Its
Methodical Arrangement.
Correspondence st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Few of our public men are more assiduOus
readers of good books than ex-Presdent
Rutherford B. Hayes and the library in his
Fremont home is perhaps one of the most
valuable of its kind in this country. There
are four thousand volumes, chiefly books of
reference and biographical works. Since
his retirement to private IL. this library
has been one of the ex-Plssident's chief
pleasures. Hours are spent by him in his
library, and everything is forgotten in the
interest of the work in hand. Gen. Hayes
absorbs everything he reads. and his retent-
i've memory enables him to remember and
quote an author at ease.
He loses himself completely in book and
time is forgotten by him when reading.
Not book is placed upon the library
shelves but it is first read, and often reread,
and a work must have some intrinsic merit
before it is reposed into its proper place.
The Gbarry is melhodically arranged, is
deliberately catalogued by subject, author
and a digest of its contents. Much of this
work has been done by the ex-President
himself ILL leisure time. His books have
cost General Hayes over $4,000 and to his
mind his library is a most ragged and un-
finished structure. He adds to it c0ntin-
rally, and is always on the watch for books
that interest him. The ex-President has
the means wherewith to crafty his tastes,
and no one encourages them more than he.
