OF all the men engaged in the the
atrical profession, there is none whose
name is more familiar to the public than
Augustin Daily, and yet he is rarely, if
ever, seen in public places. His one
hobby seems to be his theater; but he
has another, and that it his the
atrical library, which is, perhaps, the
finest in America. There are rare
volumes of Shakespeare, and no
end of available plays In manu-
script. The services of woman are en-
gagged to catalogue these books and man.
uscripts and keep them in order. Mr..
DAILY has many scores of plays that have
never been acted, and, perhaps, never
will be. Whenever he hears that a rare
volume is tor sale he hunts up the book
store and purchases it. He knows the
value of such a book as well
as any bibliophilist in this
country. Personally, Mr.. DAILY is
one of the most charming of men
to those who know him, but to those who
not he may seem gruff, abrupt and even
offensive. He does not mean TO be so.
In his coZy Office he is q brilliant CONVEX
sationalist, and is well informed on every
topic pertaining to stage matters. He is
one of this few theatrical managers who
keep in the background. He is seldom
seen in public places, and he never goes
to dinners or makes public speeches. He
is as shy as a school girl, and his great
success has not turned his head.

Bad Luck in the nIayor,s onlee.

It is conceded by the best friends of
Mayor Grant that his political career is
ended. Three months ago he was the
most promising political two-yesr-old in
the state, and it was certain that he
would be Tammany's choice for COVER
ernor in place of Hill. But, alasl how
easily things go wrongi The Fassett
senatorial investigation has upset all the
calculations of the Tammany braves.
and Grants administration of the
sheriff's office has been SO thoroughly ex-
posed that he is considered lucky to es-
cape indictment. AS matter of fact,
the office of mayor seems to be ''hoo-
dooed,'' 10 use the patois of the
street. Take sill the men who have
filled the mayors chair for the past
twenty years by way Of example. Oakley
Hall is an exile. Havemeyer died Of 3
broken heart. W;ckham, who was 9
successful diamond merchant before he
was elected mayor, has now all he can
do to get on in the world and has abso-
lutely no influence In politics. Smith
Ely, Jr. good man, who filed the
Office creditably, is seldom or never
heard of these days. he is wealthy and
can afTord to snap his fingers at politic-
ians, but, like wiokham, he is without
influence. Edward Cooper, the son of
his father, is listened to grseiously by
the leaders of the county
Democracy because he is q man of
vast wealth. The politicians trusted
him. His word was as good as his bond,
but he is no longer commanding figure
in local affairs. William r. Grace, who
has twice filed the ONCE of mayor, is the
only man who msy be said to have in
fuence. He is as shrewd a wire puller
as was Dean Richmond. He may be
heard from later. Franklin Edison has
passed into obsourity, and in q few
months Mayor Grant viii follow him.
The men who are anxious for political
preferment will not hereafter use the
mayor 3 office as stepping stone.

voice had the ring of music in it. He
was an ideal preacher, for he always
selected topics that were interesting
to young men and women. II he
had not been preacher he would
have made great actor. His style was
dramatic in the extreme. To-day his
shoulders are STOPPED. He has lost
something of the nateiness of dress that
once distinguished him; he has grown
much grayer, and the fire of youth seems
to have entirely died out of him. Person
ally, however, he is one of the most gem
ial of men. He lives In the New Jersey
suburbs, comes to the Herald office every
morning and returns early in the after
noon. BE is never heard in the pulpit
these days. Why this is SO is a mystery +,
even TO his friends. For he was a vastly
better preacher than editor.

matron tells me that, when she was
young and charming, she actually made
a snip of boy fall in love with her by
permitting him to take her hat of one
day at the seaslore. There is some

q strand of her hair, which was very
pretty in those days, became entangled
in the straw, and the pleasure of getting

good chance to see what fine head Of

The great mistake some women make
is to imagine that they can add a charm
TO their costume by more trimming, more
ornament, greater richness. more bril-
liant effects; II other words, gain
style by increasing the amount
of decoration. Such an idea is
the negation of art. A woman cam t

encountered by these ladies' was TO know

Mrs. Cleveland and the Poor Children.
1t may be true, as his enemies assert,
that the fat is hanging in wads over Gro
yer Cleveland g shirt collar. But it does
not disturb his young and handsome
wife, who is seen great deal in public
places this spring. She is the same beau
tIful woman of tact and diplomacy that
characterized her when she was in the
White House. She is always cordial in
her greeting without being fulsome.
She knows when to say a kind word and
how to say it. She has not the slightest
wish TO shine in society. She en-
tertains considerably, and in return is
entertained by some of the best
people in New York. She dresses
well, richly, but not at all loud, and
seems never SO happy as when in her hus-
bands company. How much good work
she is doing only few friends know,
but she is devoting considerable time, at
tention and money to the poor, and just
at present is the leading figure in the
Mission Kindergarten organization,
which has opened on the corner of First
avenue and Fifty-three street. Mrs.
Cleveland is vice president, and has
taken upon her shoulders more than
her share of the work. Hardly
day passes that she is not
seen in that most squalid quarter of the
great city. The object of the organizs-
ton is to establish asylums in poor neigh
borhoods where children who are from
three to seven years of age may be prop
erly instructed and kept from vice, for
time at least. Mrs. Cleveland has en-
tered into the work with all the enthusI-
asm of youth. She takes the little ones
tenderly by the hand, has a pleasant
word for all, and kiss for good many
of them. She gives them clothing and
food, and is altogetbeii1Rs delightful as
any Lady Bountiful ooHM be.

With her guitar, whose music sweet

To dance with Sarah Jane last night;
How 1 admired her style and grSSe.
Her form, her manners and her face;
She is 3 girl of beauty rare,
And OF her equals few there are

A frown is seen upon her brow;
With scowls her face is overcast;
