Good Birth and Gentle Manners Re.

While sauntering up Lexington
avenue n few days ago, / caught
sight of several charming young
girls, one OF whom / recognized us
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, says n
writer in the New York Star. Ar
riving at IA handsome brown-stone
house, they all mounted the steps
and went in. Having learned from
one of the group that this was a
fashionable school for the rich young
debutantes, I pulled the well-po!-
ished brass knocker. A sweet.iaced
woman, who had seen perhaps
about fifty changing seasons, an
swered my call and readily extended
me an invitation to pass the after
noon in the establishment. We
walked In together through the long
hallway till we reached reception
room; the walls were hand painted
in ecru and gold, while the iurni-
ture was of the most costly kind.
yet in perfect harmony. Near the
reception room Is the music room.
Crimson plush divans and silken-
pulled easy chairs and a glowing
fire sparkling from II marble hearth
lent additional charm to the furni-
ture of the apartment. Over In one
corner was white and grand piano.
The recitation rooms are on the
second floor, while the third story
Is given over to physical culture of
all kinds and descriptions. 1t Is a
pretty sight 10 see these daughters
of American Crnsuses learning the
manners and dainty ways which
will make them famous in the world
of fashion.

The fair girl students are gener-
ally at the desks at 10 a. NJ. They
study until | l.. Nj. Then comes
lunch, consisting of consomme or
bouillon, toast, sweetcakes aud Rus
sian tea. The pretty embryo bellies
go to the dining hall just as they
would at their own homes, each talk
Ing their respective seat at the table.
At the head sits the preceptress, who
gives advice concerning the art of
dining.
BY = o'clock dinner is over, and
the girls seek the gymnasium, the
music room or studio, as they de-
sire. At 4 o'clock the school is dis
missed. Up the avenue come the
elegant equipages for their charges.
Each young lady's maid adjusts ner
wraps. With n graceful g0od-by to
the other girls she disappears into
the coach and the days lessons are
done.

Great indignation prevailed

employees to wear black dresses at
their work, nor would the fair sales
women Of the metropolis be recon-
ciled by the promise made by the
firm to present each girl with a
gown at the time the reg ulation
went into effect. No, indeed, the
New York shop girl didn't ask or
want any firm to furnish her u

she didn't propose to submit to any
dictation as to what that gown

The determination OF the Republican
party in the lower branch OF Congress TO
wind up the debate on the Mckinley tariff
bi1l by noon OF Wednesday next Is In ne
cordance with the programme OF the party
as previously announced. The application
Of the cioture was vigorously resisted by the
Democrats ~ matter OF course, aud the
decision In itS favor was obtained by o
strictly party vote.
II IL desirable that tho tarIfi bill should
be considered properly In committee, but
time enough has been given TO the enemies
Of the measure for hostile criticism. The
Republican party representing the will Of
the nation has remodolcd the tariff
and there Ia no reason why the
bill should DO delayed In its passage

TuR cROuCu TRAGEDY.

Some bloodthirsty Aend In human shape
has done horrid work In the little village of
9entleysville. In Washington county. A
family by tho name Of Crouch, father,
mother and son. were murdered In the most
brutal fashion on Tuesday night, Crouch
was farmer, well.to-do. respected and
without enemies ~ far ~ IL known, who
lived upon his farm. On Wednesday morn
ing the murder was discovered. and ysster-
day the inquest took place, but at this
writing no very definite clue 10 the assassin
or assaSEins has been discovered. Plunder
seems to have been the motive for the mur-
der. Crouch did not believe in banking his
money, of which be had considerable, and
his habit of keeping large sums in the
house is now supposed to have induced
some wretch to murder the entire household.
All the inmates were feeble and fell before
the murderer's cudgel without a struggle.
Naturally Washington county is terribly
worked up over this tragedy. and strenuous
efforts will now be made to capture the mur-
derer. Perhaps the prompt action of the
County Commissioners in offering substan-
tial reward will have good results. 1t is to be
hoped that the police departments of Pitts
burg and Allegheny will lend all the assist
ance in their power, and we have no doubt that
they will. The murderer or murderers may
seek refuge in this city, for it is fact that
concealment is easier in town than country.
The doubt about the motive of the muir
dn-ar he is not inlv
established that robbery was the object;
although many circumstances point to it.
Several sums of money, besides many valu-
able securities, were not touched by the
criminal, although within his reach. This
feature complicates the case. The murder
may have been the deed OF some revenge
full brute, or of one OF those vagrants

Tho importance Of the original package

State commerce 10 their police laws But
whether this Ii feasible, or anything short OF
a Constitutional amendment will answer,
may we'll be doubted In view OF the points
stated by Major Brown in our issue OF yester-
day. II seems as II even the Senate Is
muddled on the subject, aud that it attempts
to delegate power which the Constitution
expressly prohibits.
IL is clear that the whole nation is deeply
concerned in the solution Of this problem.
II under the decision the Brooks law Of
this State, and similar legislation in other
States, is deprived of its virtue, the will of
the people thereby being set at nanght, and
law-abiding citizens manifestly injured be-
cause of their fulfiiment of the law. a rem
edy Of some sort is most urgently needed.
When the ablest lawyers are not agreed and
the very Judges of the United States Su-
preme Court are on record as disagreeing
upon this question in its various aspects,
one thing is very clear, namely, that lay
men will do we'll to pause before they take
advantage of the license which, it is claimed
by so many. the decision gives to anyone
and everyone to import and sell liquor in
