A Coming Society Event.

The announcement that Miss Mary A.
Tucker, daughter Of the late Richard
Sands Tucker, is engaged has aroused a
good deal of interest at Lenox. Her
fiance is Francis Julien Synge, of Eng
land. His father was a member of the
British legation during Minister Cramp-
toms administration in this country
about forty years ago. The marriage
will take place in the new Trinity church
here in October. The bride and bride
groom will 60 to England to reside. The

Won the Muse just Once.

Men who have written one book or
made one speech have sometimes risen
to temporary fame. It does not often
happen, however, that man of one
song attains celebrity, especially in
France, where the composers of love,
war or wine lyrics have been prolific
from the days Of the famous .'seven gay
troubadours Of Toulouse" to those Of
Beranger and Dupont. M. Louis Houssot,
who has just passed away from life's
busy scenes in his sixty-sixth year, was
man who owed any celebrity which he
enjoyed to the solitary lyric "Rien nest
sacre pour un sapeur."
This took the town by storm on the
Boulevard du Temple, where it used to
be sung under the empire by Theresa.
Her mode of rendering "Naught Is Sa-
cred to Sapper" caused everybody to
flock to hear her, and it may fairly be
taken as her greatest success, eclipsing
by far her more modern ditties. M.
Houssot tried his hand at other compost
tons, but failed egregiously, and with
drew from the music halls to his work
shop, where he gained his bread as fair
draughtsman.-London Telegraph.

The Orph ans Fair now in progress at
Armory hall, is an appeal to the public
for aid which has especial claims upon
the largest liberality of the community.
The Sisters who have devoted their
lives to the orphans find themselves in a
position of peculiar embarrassment
They have built one of the most impos-
ing and beautiful structures in the city.
Before entering upon the great under
taking, they had sold their present
property on Alameda and Macy streets
to syndicate for sum that justified
them in assuming the responsibility OF
erecting this new building. But the
purchasers failed to complete the trans
action, and the sisters find themselves
loaded not only with heavy debt, but
without the necessary means of fitting
UP the new structure to receive the
children. The old asylum is no longer
habitable, and it is absolutely impera-
tive that they should move into the new
building with their little charges. The
public will surely come to their relief.
The orphans are the wards of the people,
and the people cannot but take deep
interest in a work of practical philan-
thropy calling 80 earnestly for their
help.

Mrs, villari.


Mrs. Villari, the well known novelist
and translator, is an English woman,
married to the well known historian and
senator, Professor Pasquale Villari, who
is at the head of the Florentine uni
versity. Helen Zimmerman, writing Of
the literary lights Of Florence, Italy,
says: MRS. Villari's maiden name was
White. Her father was for some time
secretary to Gladstone and leading
Liberal. She herself may be called the
leader of Florentine English society.
She must work very hard, for she pro-
duces many original books, besides the
translation of her husbands great his
tories, but she always seems as if she
had no other occupation than to be kind
and charming to all her friends who live
in Florence, and to make the time pass
pleasantly for those who come from
abroad.
'Her first husband was also an Italian
and her Italian sympathies are naturally
deep and warm. Her sweet and gracious
ways do much to bind England and
Italy in one golden chain, as the inscrip-
ton over the Casa Guidi says Of Mrs.
Browning. She understands the italian
character thoroughly, as her novels
prove, and she is no less conversant with
American national traits and peculiar
tiles. If such minds were less rare there
would be less Of that arrangement so
common between nations and between
individuals which comes of mutual ig-
norance. Current Literature.

Mrs. Mackay,s Prosecutions.

The cowardly persecution of Mrs.
Mackay by her anonymous assailants
continues, and only few days ago a
fresh batch Of typewriter hbels were
sent broadcast to nearly the whole of
her friends and acquaintance. It almost
looked as if her visiting list had been
used for this systematic diffusion of SIAN
ders. The detectives and experts en-
ployed by her solicitors have been unre-
hitting in their efforts to trace the Of
tenders, and hear that clew has at
last been obtained. IF their suspicious
are confirmed a criminal libel case of ex-
traordinary interest on both sides of the
Atlantic may be confidently expected

THERE is such thing as giving with
qualification, or with string tied to it,
SO to speak. Thus, the executive COM
mittee of the Prohibition party met
yesterday and endorsed the Messrs. Joy
and Knott, of the Democratic, and the
Messrs. Mckinley and Shaw, of the Re-
publican judicial ticket. If the matter
had rested there all would have been
we'll. But subcommittee was APP
pointed to wait upon these gentlemen
and inform them that this endorsement
was contingent upon their giving a
solemn pledge that they would never,
under any circumstances, drink any in
toxicating liquors. This is an embargo
on Joy (K) not to be lightly regarded.

IT CAN scarcely be said that the
Seventy-sixth assembly district is such
one as Democrat would like to
tackle in an ordinary year. But
this is not an ordinary year, nor is
Judge A.. M. Bragg an ordinary man.
He is strong with the granger, and the
general verdict of the community is
that he is as good as gold. Los Angeles

The Democratic county ticket has an
excellent chance of success. The great
majority of which the Republicans
boosted two years ago has been scaled
down to very small figure by wide
range of circumstances. Not the least
OF these has been the very reckless and
even corrupt way in which the affairs OF
the county have been managed by the
Republican officials. There has been
waste and extravaganza all along the
line, and there has been 30 much queer
business in many Of the departments
