The Late John KelIy's Wife.

NEW YORK, May 22.--"What shadows
we are and what shadows we pursue"
spoke Edmund Burke in burst of elo-
quence years ago. could not help re-
calling these lines this afternoon as saw
a small, stopped shouldered, weary look
ing little woman with child held by the
hand walking in Central park. 1t was a
woman who not many years ago welded
more influence than the occupant of the
White House. She was the beloved wife
of the greatest political boss that Amer
lea has ever known, John Kelly. Her
house was the center of political gravity.
All the big and little men in the Demo-
cratic party hocked there, and in the
back parlor of that home some of the
biggest political deals in the history Of
the state We're consummated.
She was the most courted and petted
woman in tho town. She was Mr.
Kelly's second wife, a niece of tho ia
nous Cardinal McClosky, q woman Of
independent fortune, splendid attain
ments and everything to make her feel
at peace with the world. Her husband
was great big, broad shouldered,
strongly built man, who welded more
power than any man in the Democratic
party. Rich gifts We're laid at her feet
by men who hoped for political prefer
ment. She was the envy of every woman
Of her acquaintance. But, alas, how
soon we are forgotten! John Kelly is
dead. Tammany Hall is going through
the greatest crisis in its history, and Mrs.
Kelly, the petted and pampered wife of
the boss, Is living in luxury, to be sure,
for she is still wealthy, but the political
friends of her husband have deserted her.
They never call to see her now. There
are no more conferences in the little
back parlor. Her name is forgotten, and
only few of her friends are still loyal.
She has two pretty children, the elder
about 10 years of age, who bids fair to
become ss great physically AS his father.
Mrs. Kelly goes through life uncom-
plainingly, but, should she wish, she
could make great stir. For she has in
her possession all the political papers and
documents of her late husband-a rich
mine, indeed. There are many secrets
contained in these papers, and if Mrs.
Kelly so wished, she could write book
that would outsell any Of the memoirs in
the market today. Some day she may
do this. She has collected all these pa
pers together, and they are now in such
shape that they can be drafted for publi-
cation without any difficulty.

The recent uproar in the house Of rep

will not insult each other. and for the

been some notable exceptions.

Preston Brooks, Of South Carolina, who
made savage assault on Senator
Charles Sumner. inflictins injuries from

Feb. IS, the eighty-fifth anniversary
Of the formation of the society, was cele-
brated with the usual ceremonies that
have marked the passage of the years
There were services In the church, big
dinners in the large public hall, where
everybody was urged and expected to
eat all he possibly could, and music ell
day long by an excellent brass band.
The great feature of the day was the ad-
mission of sixteen new members. All
of them had been employees and fully
understood the step they were taking.
Some were married, but henceforth they
must live apart.
George Rapp, the founder. was laid to
rest meath the apple trees in lS47, and all
his followers are laid with him except
twenty seven, four having passed away
during the past year. When all of the
original members shall have Joined the
silent majority is but tho question Of an
exceedingly short space Of time, and the
perpetuation of the society and the one
hundred millions of dollars in cash,
stocks, bonds and manufactures re-
quires deep and mature deliberations.
The heirs Of members who Joined after
raising families outside of the society
threaten to sue the society for share of
the millions, and it is more than proba-
BILE that the present generation will wit
ness some interesting lawsuits.
When George Rapp died the com
munity decided there should be two
heads instead of one, and they selected
r. l.. Baker and Jacob F. Hewrici, who,
during the latter years Of Rapp's life,
had been his trusted advisers and agents
in business transactions. Baker died in
1868, and Mr.. Hewrici, by right of sue
cession, took his place as supreme head
of the society, Jonathan Lenz being
elected as his assistant. Both are men
of over 80 years, of medium height and
as sharp and shrewd in business trans
action as it is possible for men to be.
Their dress is as old in style as they are
in age, but on their holidays these old,
white haired men appear resplendent In
blue silk suits, such as were worn by the
old burgomasters in their native coun-
try when their founder was boy. The
dress Of the women is of a uniform style,
but they, too, appear in silk ON state oc-
casions.
To the credit of this curious people let
it be said that scandal among them is
thing unknown, and while they have
amassed great wealth it has all been got
ten honestly, and none can say that the
Harmonists have been in any way det.
riment to the Ohio or Beaver valleys.
