But Only After a Very Complicated and
Costly Process.
New York Times.
For IA months the schooner Dame re-
mained outof water on the beach Just below
Sandy Hook, when finally she was success
fully launched. The method pursued in
getting the craft into the water was to raise
her by huge jacks, and when she was sufi-
ciently high staging was built under her.
Down this staging the schooner was allowed
to slide into deep water. tits only recently
that the Dame has been put into the coast
ing trade, and her advent here now recalls
very generally the sight of the vessel which
for so many months lay high and dry on the
Jersey coast.
The operation Of getting q vessel of
beach is an, extremely difficult one, and
cases are rare where it is successful. One
OF the most interesting performances OF this
kind known to seamen was that of the
Gorgon. This vessel was a British man-of-
war of !, 200 tons displacement, which some
80 years or more ago was driven ashore in o
gale near Montevideo and imbedded in
the sand to a depth of nearly IL
feet. Camels were constructed on the
spot, tanks made water-tight BY intro
ducing fearnaught and lead within their
lids, boilers were hoisEed out and made
water-tight, and these, with casks, sffording
altogether buoyancy equal to 367 tons,
were secured under the ship by means of
cables passed round the bottom.
These appliances, together with screws
and heavy purchases leading to anchors
planted astern, being duly prepared, the
ship, on the tide filling the dock that had
been built about her, was rescued from her
perllous position.

"Give way-give wayI there's something
on the wave"
The men obeyed with will.
"Back, he roared again-"baek waterP
They backed, and the boat answered, but
nothing was to be seen.
"She's gonel Oh, heaven, she's gone"
groaned the old man. "You may put about
now, lad, and the Lords will be done"
The light from the lantern fell in q little
ring upon the sYells Of water Suddenly
something white appeared in the center Of
this illuminated ring. It was a Womsn's
face. With yell he plunged his arms into
the sea.
ST have her-lend hand, lads"
Another man scrambled forward, and to-
gether they clutched the object in the water.
"Look ont, don't pull SO hard. you fool.

A long heave from strong arms, and the
senseless form of Beatrice was on the gun
vale. Then they pulled up Geofrey beside
her, for they could not loose her desperate
grip of his dark hair, and together rolled
them into the boat.
They're dead, doubt" said the second
man.
"Help turn 'em on their faces over the
seat, 50 let the water drain from their in,
nards. It's the only chance. Now give me
that sail to cover tbem-so. You'll live vet,
Miss Beatrice; you amt dead, swear. Old
Eddard has saved you, old Eddard and the
good Goad together"
Meanwhile the boat had been got round,
and the men were rowing for BrYngelly as
warm-hearted sailors will when life is at
stake. They all knew Beatrice and loved

when there is any sea they wash over it
with great violence. On to this rock
Geofry and Beatrice had been hurled by
the breaker. Fortunately for them it was
thickly overgrown by Seaweed, which to
some slight extent broke the violence OF the
fall. As it was, Geofrey was knocked
senseless by the shock; but Beatrice, whose
hand he still held, fell on to him, and, with
the exception of few bruises and shake,
escaped unhurt.
She struggled to her knees, gaspinp. The
water had run of the rock. and her COM
panion lay quiet at her side. She put down
her face and called into his ear, but no
answer came, and then she knew that he was
either dead or senseless.
AT this second she caught a glimpse of
something white cleaning in the darkness.

One of the inheritors OF the big Corcorau
estate will spend most of the winter here
She is Miss Lulu Eustis, and has 81 800, ,000
Miss Pauline Bancroft, granddaughter oI
the historian, will only inherit 100000 as
she is one of many grandchildren, but her
beauty and name make her compare with
any heiress in value
Miss Matte Mitchell is the prettiest oil
the good catches of Washington. Her
father gets SIC, 900 fees for his law cases and
| has made several fortunes. Miss Matte has
been beauty in London and Paris as we'll
as America, and the man who gets her will
have both beauty and gold galore.
OF the old families of the place. the Car
isles have the most comfortable fortune.
Miss Mildred, the debutante of this season,
will inherit goodly sum.
If men have bad luck with the rich So
ciety girls whom I have mentioned, they
can run across any number of women past
40 who have hearts and fortunes still un-
won. There are the two Misses Coleman,
for instance. One of the legends Of Wash
ington is told of them. 1t seems that Mr.
Corcoran, after buying up land from many
rich people for a site for the Arlington
Hotel, wrote polite note to the spinster
sisters asking how much they would take for
their rose garden, as he wanted to build on
it an annex to his new hotel.
A note came back, signed by both sisters,
and saying: 1--WE want to enlarge our rose
garden. Will you sell the Arlington to
US ?''
The two are past 90, but they have s., ,oOO,-
900 each.
Two other sisters, Miss Alice and Miss
Janette Riggs inherited one of the finest
estates in the city, that of George W. Riggs,
and any day they could sign notes for sew
eral million dollars. Miss Alice is nearly
30, and her sister is ten years younger. At
one time they went much into society, but
of late years have been in mourning Tor rel
atives. Their father was W. W. Corcoran's
partner, and in addition to Riggs Bank
they own property in the booming part of
the city.
The Patten estate has been generally
overrated. When Mrs. Anastasia Patten
died two years ago she was said to have left
an estate of So, soc, 900, but it was only half
that much and now it is barely 81, ,10O. 900 as
the daughters have been in constant litiga-
ton over it ever since their mothers death.
There are four of them-Augusta, who has
married ex-Congressman Glover OF st.
Louis; Mary and Josephine, who are now
in the matrimonial market, and a Younger
sister who is still at school.

500, 900 each. They each receive yearly al

$500, 900 each. They each receive yearly al
lowance and-live within it.
Miss Pauneefote, the eldest daughter of
the British Minister, will have fortune, as
she inherits both from her mother and
| father, who are well-to-do.
Next TO Miss Mcmillan, Miss Mary and
Miss Rachael Cameron are the heiresses of
the Senatorial circle. People will not see
much of Miss Mary, as she keeps house for
her brother in Harrisburg, but the younger
one has already set the world by the ears,
she is so pretty and cultured. These girls
| inherit from three sources. Their mother,
who was a Miss Mccormick, daughter of
one of the wealthiest citizens of Harrisburg,
left each of them $500, 900. At their grand
father, Simon Cameron's death, they each
received double that, and of course they will
share with Senator Don Cameron's four
other children in his large estate. They are
fine business women. With the money in
herited from their mother they built hand
some houses in Washington, and take care
of the rentals with the ability of tried bust
ness men. They are both charitable, but
have the Cameron Scotch shrewdness, and
will never do anything sensational or rash
with their fortunes.
Miss Quay, daughter of the Pennsylvania
Senator, is not as rich as the Misses Cam
of quarter of million.
In the very center OF the rosebud garden
of heiresses is Miss Mary Letter, eldest
daughter OF Mr.. L. q. Letter, formerly of
Chicago. Mr.. Letter is many times a mil
lionaire, but as he has five children, their
inheritance will be about $1,000, 900 each.
Miss Letter cannot be had for the asking,
as many attaches of the legations here
have found out. She has been courted in
New York and Newport as well as in Wash
ington, and at this minute she is the most
envied girl at the Capital. In addition to
the finest frocks, the fairest face and loads
of money, she has at last landed her family,
in spite of seemingly hopeless difficulties,
in the very heart of the United States
four hundred. That is the reason the peo-
pie at the Capital are jealous of her. Her
fortune is as taut as new ship. 1t is in
great part invested in Chicago and WASH
ington real estate. OF course, she will not
receive it all until her fathers death, but
she already controls enough bank stock to
give her yearly allowance of $4,000 for
her clothes. Just double the salary of q
hsr6-working member is what this young
girl has for her pin money.
The millions made by ex-senator Henry
9. Davis and Stephen B. Elkins in New
Mexico mines and West Virginia railroads
are on the market in three handsome girls,
Miss Grace Davis and Misses Sallie and
Lizzie Elkins. Miss Davis made her debut
under her sister, Mrs. Lieutenant Browns
chaperonage January g. and the daughters
OF MIR. Elkins will appear later at the Capt.
tai as guests of Mrs. Benjamin Harrison and
Mrs. y. 8. Clarkson. Senator Davis is
quoted at $lO, ,OOO, 900, and when his three
daughters, Mrs. Elkins, Mrs. Brown and
Miss Davis came Of age he gave each of
them enough bank stock to give them an an

20 or 80 years, met in Clinton Hall yester-
day. The gathering partOOk more of the

Several of the old fellows wore the cravats
and apparel of half century ago. Presi-
dent Hexamer deplored the absence of
young blood in the club and invited sugges-
tions as to the best means of rejuvenating
the organization. None was offered. The
members evidently were satisfied with the
existing state of affairs, and were ready to
resent the interference of a younger and
more radical element. They preferred to
perish one by one, as did the Old Guard at

New York sun.1
What is regarded as next to q decisive
reason why there must be European peace
is the calculation that the mobilization Of
the French, German, and the Russian
armies would cost 500, 100000 and their
maintenance in the field would cost $780,
600, 900 a month.
A war Of six months duration would
therefore use up, for these three countries
alone. the sum of 81, 300, 900, 900. Besides
that every nation In Europe, including
England, would have to arm and hold itself
ready, which would cost millions more
These bills are considered too high to be as
