Sorosis.
The American Society Of Authors, lately
formed, isa very different sort Of club
from Sorosis or any other. II has organised
for real clubbing purposes. In other words,
men and women who write for living
book writer's. magazine writers, newspaper
writers-have come together for the pur-
pose of mutual protection. Authors
who have been wronged by pub
lishers, and authors who de-
sire to publish books bus are
deferred by the misfortunes Of their friends,
convene to see what can be done to insure
the author a respectable sum from the pub
Usher. Complaints are pouring into the sos
ciety from all over the land, and IL prom
ises TO have more to do than its sister so
ciety In London, presided over by Walter
Besant and Tennyson. From the number
of tragic stories told by the authors, In this
incredibly short space Of time, it looks a.
though there would be q black list which
would exceed anything that was ever heard
Of In any trade or profession since the world
commenced.
Trained skirts have had such pressure
brought upon them literally and fgurA-
tively-hy boot heels and figures Of speech
that even the women who were at first
determined 10 follow the nasty fashion
wherever it might lead, through heaps Of
dirt or rivers OF spit, have been compelled
to come 10 terms There Is public senti-
ment against this vanity and ignorance, this
nastiness and extravaganza. and for this
sentiment all decent women should be de-
voutly thankful. The attempt to revive the
hoopskirt was also failure. and the most
fashionably radical OF our dressmakers and
tailors admit that the hustle Ia thing Of

for the cause of Ireland, which he holds
dear, he is not strong in health and has suf-
fered terribly from the grip, and Is naturally
discouraged by the present split in the Irish
party. Last summer / saw quite little OF
Mr. Davitt in London, besides calling at his
lovely home at Bailybrack, near Dublin,
and, though the disclosures which have
blasted Mr.. Parnell's reputation had not
then been made, it was evident enough.
from Mr. Davitt's remarks concerning the
Irish parliamentary leader, that split was
imminent. Mr.. Davitt then spoke very
confidently of the revolution in the House
of Commons which the next general cleo
ton would bring. That confidence Is
naturally rather shaken now, but he does
not despair of the success Of home rule in
the end.
Mr.. Davitt il more than half American.
He married his wife in California, he has
been much in this country and knows its
people and its customs well. II be should
elect to remain here he would find that
America is the greater Ireland, and that he
has more friends here than he has ever seen.
Those who have read of Mr. Davitts proves

Judge him to be bruiser. Imagine, in
stead, a man tall and of shapely frame, but
slight, erect OF posture, with one empty
sleeve, with dark hair grizzled somewhat by
advancing years, aud in feature not unlike
what Christopher Columbus would have
been il he had been born in Ireland, and in
manner kindly and courteous.

preached our table, and the contrast was

A GAY AND FESTIVE EDITOR.

Since his coming east Murat Halstead has
become a confirmed diner out. ! should
Judge that he must make on an average two
after dinner speeches a week, in addition to
attending silently upon at least as many
banquets. A perpetual round of big public
dinners is perhaps as hard upon man as
any other experience he can encounter. and
some of Mr. Halstead's friends are wonder
ing how long his health, never very strong
since his attack at a club house year or so
ago, will bear the strain, added 70 the labor
OF writing an enormous amount OF matter

A woMAN's HOUSE.

The most interesting and magnificent Of
the newer houses of New York will I'M
doubtedly be the fine Italian palace being
erected on Fifth avenue by Mr. and Mrs
q. r. Huntington, or rather by Mrs. and
Mr.. Huntington, the former as active d.
rector. the latter in the very important role
of the payer Of the bills. The house, with
its cool and regular exterior, Its air OF re-
straint and solidity. is in rather refreshing
contrast to some OF the more fren-
zied productions of recent years.
Mrs Huntington, who has very
good taste ia such matters. Is practi-
cally the responsible director Of the whole
enterprise. She 1t is whom wouldbe

POET AND pHILosopHER.

Almost every one who has knocked about
town much last winter and this spring must
have noticed walking about together two
men as dissimilar as they were in their sew
eral ways peculiar. One was tall and finely
built, with bronzed face, curly flowing hair
and q somewhat leonine expression, rather
seedy In apparel, but with q grand air
despite it all. The other was little wee
man with face like a wrInkled russell apple
and sharp, ferret-like eyes, whose coat, two
sizes too large, generally tapped back to
show an old-fashioned figured waistcoat and
choker.
The large man was George Francis Train,
physic philosopher, poet and traveller; the
smaller Bloodgood a. Cutter. who first be-
came known to fame as Mark Twain's "poet
lariat' when the innocents sailed abroad.
Mr.. Cutter left bis Long Island farm last
fall to spend the winter in New York, and
found in Mr.. Train a congenial associate.
1t would be hard to find two men more &C.
centric. Mr.. Cutters poetry is always I'M
exceptiouabe in sentiment, but usually
manned in its feet. Mr.. Trains phil
osophy is magnificent in expression, but
frequently wide Of fact. Mr.. Gutter
is a prosperous and successful farmer
and capitalist. Mr.. Train has had big
fortune and has proved himself in the past
| a shrewd enough man Of business, as when
| he introduced tram cars into London. Ii
late years he has lost much Of his property
and has once been adjudged a lunstic
though few men appear less like it. Som'

he wished to study the environment Of his
work. While there he noticed two spaces,
one on either side Of the big entrance door,
which were SO high and narrow that it
would be pretty hard work to find pictures
to fit them. These spaces he carefully
measured, and going home he went at once
TO work to paint pictures Of that shape.
When the pictures arrived their mechanical
fitness befriended them as well as their In
trinsic excellence, and they were ''well

NEW YORK, May 23.--The most astute
leader of the Cleveland forces in New York
Is William r. Grace, ex-mayor of the city,
and great power in South American trade
and finance In Peru Grace takes pot luck
with the government and gets the biggest
share of the stew. In Chile he is called the
hacker of one party in the civil war, while
Charles R. Flint & Co. support the other in
a test of rival traders. In Hanover square,
the center of his far-reaching enterprises, he
is brisk, wide awake man, affable
in manner, whose keen, twinkiing
eyes peer out at vis-a-vis through
spectacles as he positively assures
one that he is out of politics. Yet it is not
probable that Mr.. Grace will ever really be
out Of politics so long as he has greater per-
sonal strength with the Tammany rank and
nle than any other leader outside OF that
organization. and so long as he hates it and
Its methods SO thoroughly. He is used to
receiving hard raps. Probably no one has
been better abused by the opposing fac
tionists.
1t is not SO very long ago that rather
rough citizen was applying for saloon
license in Great Neck, where Mr.. Grace has
his summer home, and Mr.. Grace was one
OF number of professionals. The applicant
went to ask the cause of bis objections.
We'll" said Mr.. Grace, In reply. beaming
upon his questioner through his benign
spectacles, II have heard great many bad
stories about you, Mr.. x. Your repu-
tation is not what it should be-"
las for that" said the applicant. with
ready wit. you probably haven't heard
half as many hard things said against me a.

neuvers, such as his union with the repub-
licans last fall on local issues, have turned
out rather badly, but he Is as much alive al

THE LUMBER FIRES OUT WEST.


Twenty years or 30 ago some very good
friends OF mine were burned up in the awful
forest fire which swept over Peshtigo. Wis,
fire far more appalling in its loss of life,
though perhaps not more destructive Of
property, than those from which Michigan
has Just suffered. / remember that the
theory was advanced at that time that the
awful fate of the Peshtigoers was punish
ment for the sin of Sabbath breaking, and
the cousin Of my burned friends announced
that theory to me with some satisfaction.
It seemed to soothe him to discover some
reason for the calamity.
"But were j and H Sabbath
breakersp l asked him.
mo, but lots of folks around there were"
he answered.
"Well, them" said IL was twenty years
younger than now and had not learned the
exceeding folly Of argument-"why were
they, who hadn't broken the Sabbath,
burned up, while so many people out here
break it fifty-two times year and are none
the worse for it,"
He never answered the question.
