SAVANNAH, GA. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 49, 1884,

Two other rioh young men are giving
promise or great future usefulness to So
clety. They are Edwin Gould and young
fhil Armour. The latter is out of Yale
about two years. He is 25 years old, Of
medium stature and jovial cast of conn
teuance. Eddie Gould is about a year
younger. he Is quiet in his bearing, but it
Is I'd ought that he viii make the first real
social success in the history of his family.
At present the prediction is rather ia the
direction of athletic sports and outdoor
life, but of late he has figured in several
prominent society eyents-as usher in one
or two small weddings for instance-and
there Is every reason to believe that he will
figure In the best set some day. He differs
from his brother George, who inherits many
or his fathers traits. He goes about his
business in his fathers Office in the Western
Union building with his coat of and an air
OF conspicuous democracy about him. But
Eddie Is moro fastidious. He belongs to
two or three of the most fashionable clubs
aud likes to consort with swell men about
town. A year ago when Eddie took
his little flyer in stocks with the result of
making q cool 100000 in very
quick time, he invested in some mag
nitcent horses and small dog cart. He
quarters his team at a fashionable livery
stable. and when he rides in the park, as he
does frequently, the manageable girls look
, at him In way to make him blush. When
Eddie heard about young Rockefeller's dogs
he imported some very handsome st. Ber-
nards. Although it was said that Rockefel-
Ter invested about S10,0 900 in dog flesh, some
of Eddie's canine Investments ranked pretty
well up In the scale. AS yet he has not kept
pace with Rockefeller in the matter Of
horses.
Young Armour has not made much of a
sensation In New York yet, but he is known
TO the swell set as a man who never let's
anything go by because of its cost. He has
a magnificent suite of rooms in one of the
most luxurious hotels, and spends much of
his time here. Occasionally he runs down
to New Haven for a week with his old COL
lege chums, and when he does he makes
things hum in the City of Elms.
1t is said that Eddie Gould's wealth after
his fathers death will probably run up to
$75,O00,000. give the figures because they
are current gossip, though / think them
much too high. AT any rate he will have
enough to out dash in society, and the
chances are that he'll do it, too.

EXHIBITING SMALL FEET.

While the chrysanthemum show has been
raising such furore at the Madison Square
garden, the Bowery has been opening a
show of another kind.
The highly colored announcement over
one of the museums advertises small foot
show. In detail the announcement reveals
thirteen young ladies In q row, each ex-
hibiting, with some liherality of method.
the size of her right foot. The sign does
not give any OF the young ladies the credit
for knowing that her left foot runs many
chances of being the smallest, but investi-
CATION indicates that some of the ladies
who actually participate in the contest are
conversant with this trick.
After the emblazoned promise over the
door the visible evidences Of contest are
rather disappointing, or might be to those
who are not familiar with the ratio Of dc.
duction necessary IN the case OF a Bowery
sign. At any general hour the visitor will
find one or two boldly attired girls installed
In that quarter Of the museum assigned to
this rivalry. In the evening between 9 and
10 o'clock there are four or five and on Sat-
urday night there will be six or eight
1t is not very thrilling spectacle, but sit

THE NEW BIRD's-EYE VIEW.

One of the new sights opened to the
visitor who wishes TO ''do' the metropolis is
the tower of Madison Square garden. Ris-
ing to the hight of over 400 feet, this grace
full pile is not only one of the most charm
ing pieces of architecture in New York, but
affords an unequaled view of the city.
Just under the little figure of st. Gaudens'
l,400-pound Diana, designed in New York
and cast in Ohio, is a narrow gallery on
which there is circular track carrying a
powerful electric search light, mounted like
a field piece, and adjusted in an ingenious
manner so as to command many square
miles of the city. The view by daylight is
magnificent. At night the lamp-studded
streets, the twinkling electric lights, the
cleaning span of the bridge lights and a
thousand aud one half-veiled glimpses Of
the city form a spectacle of a fascinating
kind. Thousands of electric globes illumi-
nate the tower through which rises an ele-
vator having course of $50 feet
Since the opening Of the tower last week
an immense number of people have awaited
themselves of this opportunity to get new
bird's-eye view of the city.

Of houses on the outskirts Of Tuxedo, that
paradise of New York's Four Hundred, has
come to be called Oklahoma. The name
isn't down on the map, but 1t Is nevertheless
name that is likely TO stick TO the place.
The other day a woman, who recently
hired fine house at the fashionable Tuxedo
settlement, had call from a lsundress.
Where do yon liver asked the Tuxedo
woman.
AT Oklahoma. ma'am."
''Oklahomsl Well, WELT But how did
you get herei'
"Sure | walked ma'am."
"Walkedm The Tuxedo woman looked
aghast. But the laundress seemed entirely
serious you don't mean that you walked
all the way from Oklahomap
Certainly, ma'am. And why not
ma'amFn
For moment the Tuxado woman sus-
pected that the being before her was insane.
Then she said:
'But tell me. my dear girl. how long did
it take your
about forty minutes, ma'am."
Clearly the girl was insane, and feeling
OF pity was stealing into the Tuxedo
woman's heart when vague doubt came
over her, Perhaps she said, perhaps
you don't mean the Oklahoma where the
boomers areln
"Well," the girl replied. II never see
any boomers there Sure, think you could
see the village yourself from the roof"
And the mystery was cleared up.

A REcroR's LESSONS.

Speaking of dramatic tuition recalls a
circumstance communicated to me by a
prominent dramatic teacher who shall be
nameless.
The dramatic teacher says that one day
he was visited by a man of about 3d. who
looked suspiciously like a preacher. In
view of this suspicion the instructor was at
q loss to account for the visit until the Wis
itor spoke and announced, to begin with,
that he was an Episcopalian rector.
II have come to you," said the rector,
"not merely for lessons In elocution. have
already received some instruction of that
kind at college. What want is something
more in the way of dramatic instruction,
don't you know. | realize that even in
reading the service, to say nothing of
preaching, knowledge of the dramatic
art might be If incalculable advantage to
me. IL am to impress my hearers, every
art that aids me to that end is desirable.

sumo that mere feeling is in itself sufficient
to communicate feeling. IL wish TO inn

YOU"
''And So" said the dramatic teacher, ~
gave series of dramatic and elocudon les
sons to the rector. 1t seemed rather curious
when 1t came to the prayers. But | must
confess-though say it who was the in
structor-thAt his rendering of the service
was immensely more impressive after he
got through with the lessons than it had
been before he began, and that his theory
of the thing seems correct enough TO me-"

STAGE STRUCK ENTHUSIASTS.

1t is safe to say that there are more stage
struck people in New York this fall than at
any previous time in the history of the
American stage.
The stage-ssruck element may be taken to
include those who are infected with the
operate mania. 1t is all the same species of
madness. They all want to get behind the
footlights.
The schools of acting which have Bios
somed within the past few years are doing
big business. These schools are Of the
greatest possible divergence in kind. Their
prices guarantee the satisfaction of every
kind of purse, and the instruction is of
sort in harmony with the prices. You rnay
be trained to take "a low comedy part in
John L. Sullivan's company or you may
be fitted for Mr.. Frohman'S society dramas.
1t need scarcely be said that even the
hospitaole American stage has no room for
this ingenious and enthusiastic brood.
Somebody he's dared to suggest an answer
to the question: What becomes of all the
pins2 Who will undertake to say what be-
comes of all these graduated actorss
But IL there Is no room for all the actors
and actresses. what shall we say of the even
larger company of singers who are yearning
to rival Patti The sensitive mind is actu-
ally depressed by the augmented number of
schools of opera and what not. Under the
proprietorship of some body whose name.
with beautiful commercial propriety, ends
in ''ini," these schools fascinate the more or
less youthful aspirants for operatic glory.
Singers of both sexes, who might make an
excellent reputation in village church
choir, are led on by a fatal illusion pro-
duced by cunning prospectuses until their
money is gone and the hopeless situation is
forced on their inexperienced minds.
One of the most distressing features of
New York life is the plight of young wo-
men who, after making great sacrifices TO
secure the means, come to New York in
pursuit of this phantom Of operate fame. A
by no means small number, coming with
nothing lower than a Scalchi position In
their fancy, drop to the Casino chorus, and
have reason to be thankful il there is a
vacancy in chorus of a much inferior
kind

NEW York, Nov. Al came over in
the Storage and / know something about
how it feels myself.
II l was not exactly an emigrant, and If
was able to bride the cook and escape some
of the dietetic discomforts Of storage life,
I nevertheless found occasion to see that
the enigrant hos rather rough time of it
on his way over, even on one Of our highly
moderated ocean travellers But the
matter l have in mind just now is not so
much the experience Of the emigrant in
coming over as in landing here.
When L landed number of years ago the
regulations were comparatively easy. IL
was hard to stand on the deck after the big
iron ship came iuto dock, and watch tho
cabin passengers skip ashore while we were
compelled to walt for the barge that was to
carry us mile down the river to Castle
Garden. We were taken off the ship on the
side opposite the pier, and duly dumped at
the garden everything going smoothly. We
filed in 20 an Office between two rails-an
arrangement resembling the Enclosure In
which they crowd cattle or those In which
they pluck cstriches-and / meekly an
swered all questions as to my age, place Of
birth, trade, place of destination and so
forth. Il was a simple matter.
To-day the emigraut cannot slip under
the shelter of our American wings with
quite SO much facility. The passing of
various laws looking to a more stringent
inspection at American ports has made the
operation of landing a more complex affair.
You must show that you are not pauper; ;
that you are not an emigrant under any
suspicious conditions, financial or other
wise; that you are not a laborer Of any
kind, under contract to work for anybody
here; and that you are in no danger for any
reason of becoming burden upon any of
our agencies of public charity. There are
other considerations, but those | have

NOW FOR PICTURES,

The city has begun to bristle with picture
shows.
AT the Keppel gallery there is the annual
show of American water oolors, and it is
display of much animation and interest At
the Wunderlich gallery there are engrav-
ings of fancy subjects" by Bartolozzl and
other engravings in stipple-a curious and
sometimes bizarre collection, very much in
the Venus and Adonis. Psyche going to

The academy fall exhibition is the artistic
talk Of the hour, and the Water Color So

for displays later on. There is little that is
thrilling In the special announcements for
sales or private shows, but the season is still

OF NINETY-TWO
THE LATE ELECTION IS ANCIENT
HISTORY IN NEW YORK.

The "EiIl or Cleveland" Debate En-
tered Upon In Earnest-StaRe Struck
Enthusiasts-A Rector's Iessons-A
Long Walk-Looking Down on the
City.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14-The battle between
Fassett and Flower in New York was one
of the liveliest ever fought in the state, but
the city Of Manhattan Island turned from
the battlefield-or from its corner of the
battlefsld-with characteristic Hghtness.
Never in an election not concerned with
the presidency did the city become more
picturesquely feverish. Never in any cleo
ton did the city more quickly regain its
normal temperature.
The last outward signs of the election to
disappear are the portraits Of the successful
candidates. These yet continue to hang in
many shop windows, offering testimony of
the political Righteousness of the proprietors.
But in forty-eight hours after the closing
OF the polls, New York had begun to think
Of the election as something very much in
the past, and in ten days she looks back
upon it as ancient history.
Yet for various reasons many faces are
politically set toward '92.
This election" said a congressman.elect
AL buO COAtA0OI VI Luo HAlAu Aftdu0 hIbSl
last night, forces the nomination of Blaine
ia 1892"
And ie Also" said bis listener, "forces
the nomination of Grover Cleveland
1t is not easy to get at satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of these convictions. but they are
expressed with curious reiteration. The
success Of Mckinley, the strongest consola-
ton that came to the defeated New York
republicans Is pointed out as clinching the
certainty of Blaine's nomination. The de-
feat of Fassett naturally comes to be re-
garded as something of a rebuff to Har-
rison. On the other hand, Cleveland's at
titude in the hour of Tammany's
danger has brought him more promi~
nently before the New York democ-
racy, while the increasing probability of
Blatue's nomination Is continually used as
an argument why Cleveland should again
be the democratic leader. The mugwump
vote which was given to Cleveland is very
largely antagonistic to Hill and could not
be counted on by the democrats If Hill
were nominated. How much of it Cleveland
might receive in another fight with Blaine
is a problem which nobody is very free to
discuss. MANY democrats feel that they
| could afford to ignore the doubtful mug
wump vote If the nomination of Hill were
an accomplished fact; but for whatever rea-
son the nomination of Hill seems to be con-
| sidered less probable since the election than
before.
A significant manifestation on the repub-
| licAn side ia the increased opposition to the
| leadership of Thomas G. Platt. The demo-
Gratis used the worlds fair cry-the cry
that Platt prevented New York from get
ting the worlds fair-with great effect.
| But this was only last straw with many
republicans. who have felt that Platt is an
undesirable leader. Whether the repudia--
ton of Platt is but resentful manifesto
ton or an evidence of permanent hostility
remains to be seen.
| Meanwhile New York continues to COM
placently assume that she is certainly to
name the democratic candidate.

A RAID ON THE FLATS.
Six Bawdy Houses Pulled by the
Police.

FOllCe ralulng Is on DOOm again
Saturday nights descent on the gamb
ling dive on Salem avenue, kept by
Charlie Norvell, was followed on Sun.
day night by general raid on all the
bawdy houses located in the FLATS
and kept by white women. Chief Nor
ris, assisted by Sergeant Jones, con-
Quoted the foray and surprised the
houses ofGypsy Haywood, Hattie Dyser,
Mabel Lester, Cora Boyd and Alice
Payne.
A number of well-known young men
were found, and great CONSERVATION
prevailed. Not having room at the sta
ton house to comfortably accommodate
so many, the chief accepted bail at $40
each. Tho amounts so received footed
up to $3.50.
The mayors court yesterday morning
was crowded Many. of those who were
pulled on Sunday night were present
with lawyers, and contested the cases
the best they knew how.
Bess Mccormick and Jennie McGeorge
were tried first. The former was dis
missed and the latter fined SIS.
The case against Mamie Shelton and
young man named Evans not being
clearly made out, both were dismissed
Cora Boyd was fined $40 for keeping a
house of ill-repute.
w. R. Mays and Lizzie Danna were
fined $40 each, as was also Jacob A.
Mays and Sallie Porter. Several other
cases were postponed till to-day, pre-
sumablY for the purpose of making q
private confession and getting the bene
fl of the lowest fine.
The result of the raid on Saturday
night was the filming Of Charlie Norvell
for keeping disorderly house. Mrs.
Brady, j. @. Poteet and l.. Dulaney
testified to the character of the place.
Mrs. Brady lives in an adjoining build
ing, and says she has frequently seen
fifteen or more men aud women escape
over the roof of the bowling alley in the
rear when an alarm of the police was
given.
Mary Bruch, who was charged with
keeping a bawdy house in the same
building, was not fined, neither were
her companions, the cases against them
not having been made out.
Charlie Norvell and Bob Cole, who
run the gambling room, both denied that
any gaming was allowed. Charlie ad-
mitted that he rented the property.
Mary Bruch testified that gambling
went on at all times, and that the place
was run by Norvell. The mayor fined
Charlie $40 and costs and dismissed all
others found in the house.
This raid was not successful financi-
ally, although it will no doubt have q
tendency to break the place up. The
chief gave warning that he would raid
them every night until they took to other
quarters:
j. c. Potect says the occupants of these
rooms are source of great annoyance
to MIN and have been for several months.
