NEw YORK, March l4--rhe talk INDUCED
in at present about Chauncey N. Depew
running for governor Of the state Of New
York is-wsll, only talk. The men who are
industriously engaged in booming Depew
are doing it without his consent. OF course,
Depew is fond of honor, aud no is not in
sensible TO the greatness of the governors
position in this commonwealth, but, not
withstanding such allurements, he will not
be candidate. Only one Office could tsmpt
him now, and that Is the presidency. But
as that prize is in the remote and shadowy
future he will remain where he is now, at
the head Of the New York Central railroad.
And well may he do so. In point Of fact,
he would show bad judgment to leave IL.
His salary, While nominally only $50, 900 a
year, is really three times THAI much, for
he is libeI ally paid as one of the trustees of
the great Vanderbilt estate. He Is a director
in dozen different companies and adviser
10 as many more, which means $50, 900 a
year additional so that his income is quite
$500, 600 year, while the salary Of the gov
ernor of the state is only $4,000 The o are
some Of the reasons why be will not be a
candidate for governor. Depew has had
many offers to leave the Central, but has
always wisely declined them. Only last
week he was offered the editorship of a
great daily in New York and 500, 900 a year
for his work, but 1t was no temptation TO
him. Only a nomination for the Presi.
dency can divorce him from the Central
railroad.
THE MAN WHO TEACHES THE CHILDREN OF
THE FOUR HUNDRED TO DANCE.
A very remarkable man il Carl Marwig,
the man who teaches the children of the 400
TO dance. He is "a Swede. He was born
with the taste for dancing and department
within him. This taste was afterward
schooled aud enhanced by famous ballet
masters aud professors, among them. Nine.

reputation in Europe when compar-
atively a young man. He has
been engaged at the Royal Thea
tiers in Hamburg, Vienna, Stockholm, st.
Petersburg, Copenhagen, Berlin and Mu-
mich, and in Italian opera in Paris as ballet
master, and bis sorap-book Is filed with
hattering press notices Of his achievements.
Twenty-Five years ago he came over to
America on pleasure trip, and was in
90 La NJ
He has designed ballets for Carl Rosa and
every manager OF note in this country. He
is very prolific Of ideas, and can compose
dances and figures otf-hand. He can in
struct and manage ballet OF 500 as easily
as q set of four.
In 1887 he inaugurated the Children's
Carnival, which was a huge success. In
1888 he introduced the Kirmess form OF
entertainment. One of his greatest sue
Venice" produced In 1889 under distin-
guished patronage. He has travelled
through every country of Europe and in
all the principal cities of America. from
Denver to New York and from Chicago to
New Orleans He has designed no end Of
little plays, ballots and dances. He has
several private classes, composed OF the
daughters and sons of well-known society
people throughout the country He de-
boys, and for the College of tho City Of New
York, Berkeley Lyceum, Manhattan and
Athletic clubs, and other organizations The
entertainments designed by him have netted
for the cause of charity something like
$1,000 900. Every entertainment he has
produced has been a success. On the wall
of his parlor hangs finely wrought wreath
Of gold, made by Tiffany and presented to
him by the patrons of the Children's Carni-
val. 1t is similar to that presented to
Christine Nilsson by the patrons Of the
Kirmess.
Prof. Marwig is always busy. He Is now
engaged experimenting rehearsals Of two Of
his latest compositions, entitled THE Sea-
sons" and "Diana's Dream TIE former is
TO be produced this month by the Manhattan
Athletic Club. There will be dialogue, sing
ing and dancing for each season, and 100
ladies and gentlemen will take part.
"Diana's Dream" will be produced at the
Metropolitan opera house under the patron
age of the best society after Lent II Is not
yet decided to what charity the proceeds Of
the latter entertainment shall be devoted
But one thing Is certain. There will be
none but young ladies in the dance, and
Prof. Marwig himself told me that they
were extremely beautiful and graceful
