FIREPLACE, MR. EDWARDS DRAWING kooM'
George Vanderbilt's salon and bedcham-
her are perfect reminders of the proud and
ioyous period Of Louis XIV. The walls
are beautifully frescoed in white, picked
out with gold, with medallions OF fascinat-
ing maruuises and groups of lovely Cuplds
set into the panels The ceilings OF these
rooms ara like massy gold, and under the
brilliant chandelier or in the subdued
light of lamps of Sevres they look ike
roofs of Golconda.
An apartment which eminently reflects
the man is that of Gould Redmond, In an
old fashioned street off Fifth avenue and
near Washington square. Mr.. Redmond
has a position in New York society which
is inherited He is known as one OF the
social leaders whose assistance IS 1ncalcul-
ably great to debutaute and to the mar
ried woman whose husband has done so
well in the street that he can afford TO
"splurge' in society But this influence Is
very rarely exerted, for quleter, more
retiring, as well as more elegant man OF
the world could hardly be met with IN the
three great capitals of tashlon-Parlsi
London and New York. He bears all his
honors with an air of perfect and attract
i've Inconsistencies. His enthusiasm Is
kept for art and music, but it rather In
clines to the former.
He has lived much with that group Of
New York artists who never exhibit, ou'
who paint for the great private galleries
where their works are secluded from th'
world until the dispersion and sale-whicf
are or seem to be inevitable-come Mr.

years of age first courted the glare OF pub
licity by writing an article on the slavery
question. Twelve months later she mace
her first speech. In 1851 she secured
place at the Philadelphia mint. bat soon
lost it because of an address in which she
denounced Gen. Mcclellan as traitor.
After that she devoted her energies to vari-
ous sorts of literary labor. For long
time she was q prominent figure on the
lecture platforms Of the country, her chief
topics being slavery, temperance ana vom-
ans rights. She also wrote several books
and gained fame and fortune. About nf-
teen years ago she turned her attention to
the stage, but as an actress she hardly
scored what the French call success OF
esteem"
For the last decade she has lived at Wess
Pittston. Pa, with her sister Susan, hei
time being devoted to works Of charity and
play writing. She emerged from her re
tirement in 1888 to take the stump for Har

speeches. OF late she has suffered from
sleeplessness, and the other day developed

dramatic version Of Harriet Beeche r
Stoves novel at Hsrper's theatre las t
evening. The various parts were we'll
sustained and the music by the special
orchestra an entertaining feature.
The most recent successful spectaculsr
play, The Bottom of the Sea-" will be
presented 81 Hsrper's theatre next
Wednesday evening. The piece is a de.
cided novelty, and its production in other
cities has attracted crowds. 1t is said to
be one OF the most marvellous scenic PLAYS
ct this generation, and to SAVIOR of the
weird imsginativeness of Jules Verne
The scenes are said to be artistic
and mechanical triumphs in their
way, presented with surprising
elaboration IN detail. An oces
steamer, the laying of submarin e
cable, the wreck of vessel, and the res
cue OF the passengers are all wildly pic
tured. The height of this sensational
realism is shown in the descent of divers
to the dark, unfsthomed caves of tn e
oceans, the repairing Of broken cable,
and an attack on the divers by sn enor-
nous ectupus. The company presenting
the piece is said to be good. and q ne
production throughout is promised. In
addition to securing this attraction Man
ager Montrose has succeeded in m akin q
q permanent arrangement with Supt
Schnitger as to street cars Hereaft er a
blue car will be at the theatre after all
entertainments, running to Moline, via
Edgewood park. and the fare will be bu t
five cents after 10 o'clock, instead of tie n
as the ordinance permits.
