Several events show traits of Grover
Cleveland's character that were promi-

moderate egotism cropped up when he
wrote that the Baby was stouter at day

his moral cowardice was never more
clearly shown than when last Thursday
night he came out plainly for Tammany
at Tammany meeting. Despite his
much vaunted heroism and backbone,
the William street sage, is one of the
most undisguised trimmers of his age.

The other occasionally, but not habitually,
smokes big, strong, black cigar of the most

what remarkable for one of her sex. A yisi-
TOR of the masculine gender once brought
her. by way of joke. package or two Of
very fine cigarettes. She experimental with
them in private, and then began Offering
them to gentlemen callers. AS the little
weeds had not Inconvenience her at all
she was rather surprised that these expe-
rienced smokers found them strong. After
few days the donor of the cigarettes
dropped in.

knew the potency of his gift.
20, three or four at once" was the nom
chalant reply.
The Dickens you CAM" said he in as
Constituent, why you are ready to be pro-
noted to cigars" And the promotion took
place at once. The man tempted her and
she did smoke, and has done it more or less
ever since.
1t isn't strange that women should occa-
slonally take to cigars, but rather that SO
lew of them do it. / know another young
woman who has herself never touched to-
oacco, but who grew up in smoking FAM
lily and was used to the smell of the burns
ing weed. She married a minister and
moved into a little country town in New
Jersey. Her husband didn't smoke. One
Gay big cousin came to visit the minis

some cigars, and filled the big cousins
pocket with them .sNow said she after
ne had lighted one of them. "sit right down
there in front of me and blow the smoke

She weren't clergyman's wife fancy this

A FIFTH AVENUE HOUSE.
WHAT 1T COSTS TO LIVE IN A
NEW YORK PALACE.

Facts and Figures About Millionaires'
Homes The Fair Correspondent.
The Woman Who' emokes-Bsatin 2
an Auctioneer-An Expensive Drunk.
NEW YORK, June 6.-The story of Fifth
avenue is like fairy tale of the good old
fashioned kind, where bags Of pearls and
rubies are stuffed into good little bows
pockets and uncounted gold lies kicking
about on the floors of dragon haunted cav
ems
The study Of that curious American
product, the millionaire, has a keen interest
TO most people. There is no such textbook
or object lesson as this narrow lane of So
called palaces, ugly and coarse looking with
but few exceptions, in all the world.
London has millionaires enough, but
no one street so full of them.
There are residence streets in
Buffalo, Cleveland, Washington and other
smaller cities far more beautiful, but the
highway where live all the Vanderbilts, D.
Huntington, Jay Gould, j. Coleman Dray.
ton. DR.. Webb, II. NICK. Twombly, one Of
the Astors-two till recently-and unnum-
bered other millionsires, has a character of
its own. It's gloomy street where il isn't
made gay by the poisoning of the intrud-
ing shop fronts which are rapidly chasing
the dwelling houses uptown, but no one can
walk the two miles from Madison square to
the park without dropping into figures
Every residence there is either the home Of
a millionaire, or of man who is living be-
yond his means in the hope of being consid-
cred one. Prices of land have risen enor-
mously since the late William H. Wander
bilt paid $500 900 for the ramshackle old
greenhouse upon whose site he erected his
Siamese twin brownstone packing boxes.
Within recent years lots have been sold In
desirable portions of the street for $50, 900
or $4,000 each. That would be cheep in
deed now. Cornelius Vanderbilt paid
$4,000 for very ordinary narrow house,
and then pulled the house down to make
room for his splendid, but ugly palace.
Even that was cnear. G. T. Hunt
ington has since paid Robert Bonner
s. 900 front foot for the diagonally oppo-
site corner, vacant plot, on which he is
now erecting a great stone castle, whose
cost he modestly stated in the building per-
nit, possibly for the assessors henefit, at
100000 but which Is costing many times
that sum. Mrs. Whitneys home opposite
these two, an ivy clad French chateau, and
perhaps the most beautiful and homelike of
all the palaces, only cost $500, 900 at bar
gain sale few years ago, but Is worth
double that price now.
And in ten years the stores and hotels
will have crept a mile and half further
north and the millionaires will be forced to
move on again. They are paying pretty
price for few years. show on the avenue
and for the amusement Of US who philoso-

THE uNJo1NrED RUSSIAN NOSE.

1t has puzzled some people to understand
why the illness of the painter Verestchagin
should interfere with the proposed sale OF
his paintings, which has been indefinitely
postponed. The truth is that the Russian
noss is out of joint in New York. Only last
year Russian dresses were ell the rage and
society matrons dealt out caravan tea from
samovars at afternoons" Now they sit by
low, hexagonal Armenian tables inlaid with
mother of pearl in curious patterns and
pour tea or coffee from copper pots. Hence
the shrewd dealers fear that even Russian
pictures would get small favor from buyers
who are necessarily influenced by the whims
and caprices of fashion.
Within two or three years we have had
Japanese, Russian and Turkish crazes, not
to mention such variations on civilized
themes as Empire. Directory, Louis Seize,

THE WAR OF MANUFACTURERS.

The competition between New York news
papers is now SO keen as to preclude the
slightest possibility of profits for most of
them. Competition does not confine itself
to the issue of enormous illustrated maya
zines on Sundays. That Is something
familiar enough among tho newspapers Of
other cities. More destructive of profits is
the cutting OF rates on advertisements
This was bad enough before the two new
papers started, and it ia worse nov. All the
papers print great quantities OF advertising
matter, but there isn't much money
in it,. An advertising agent tells
me that one of the very best
known dailies recently printed a reading
notice over column in length with several
cuta, making the cuts itself, for S25.
Prompt upon the heels Of the publication
came whole swarm Of agsnts-it used to
be the rule in New York that the be,t pa
pers did not solicit advertising, but that
don't go now. One would print it for $500.
another for Sl75, and SO on. When s25
was suggested they all wilted except one,
who offered to print it for nothing if any
decent amount of advertising at regular
rates would be promised later on.
The advertising bonanzas in New York at
present are the monthly magazines, and
such papers as the Erenfng Post, which
have held aloof from the scramble after

AN EXPENSIVE DRUNK.

Newspaper men are fond of saying that
the old days of the Bohemian journalist are
gone never to return, but here is a story
that sounds suspiciously like refutation OF
too sweeping statement of the altered
TINES.
The city editorship Of one of the greatest
papers in the metropolitan region was
offered to certain bright young journalist
and his commission was practically made
out. In his joy he went down TO the
Gravesend race track with a chosen crony
and got on glorious spree. The business
manager of the payer heard of it somehow,
and, before the drunk had simmered away
to the subsequent katz.njammer, the va
cant desk was offered to and accepted by
another young man who keeps sober. That
was an expensive drunk.
