ISdCu w
New York, March u, 1891 Special
correspondence of The HERALD. The talk
indnlged in at present about Chauncey M.
Depew running for governor of the state
Of New York, is, we'll only talk, The men
who are industriously engaged in booming
Depew are doing it without his consent.
OF course Depew is fond of honor, and he
is not insensible to the greatness of the gov
ernOr's position in this commonwealth, but
Notwithstanding such allurements, he will
not be a candidate. Only one Office could
tempt him now, and that is the Presidency.
but as that prize is in the remote future, he
viii 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 it. His
salary, while nominally only fifty thousand
year, is really three times that much,
for he is literally paid as one OF the trus-
tees of the great Vanderbilt estate. He is
a director in dozen different companies
and adviser to as many more, which means
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS YEAR ADD
TIoNAL.
So that his income is quite two hundred
thousand year, while the governor of the
state is only ten thousand dollars These
are some of the reasons why he viii not be
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 hundred
thousand year for his work, but the offer
was no temptation to him. Only nomin
alton for the Presidency can divorce him
from the Central railroad.
THE MAN WHO TEACHES THE CHILDREN OF THE
FOUR HUNDRED To DANCE.
A very Remarkable man is Carl Marwig,
the man who teaches the children of the
four hundred to dance. He is Swede. He
svoS born with the taste for dancing and de-
pertinent within him. This taste was after
wards schooled and enhanced by famous
ballet master and professors, among them
Nine Matzzene. NJ. Taglioni and NJ. San
Leon, the latter being the greatest artist OF
his day. MIR. Marwig achieved an enviable
reputation in Europe when comparatively
young man. He has been engaged at the
royal theatres in Hamburg, Vienna, Stock
holm, St Petersburg. Copenhagen, Berlin
aud Munich, and in Italian opera in Paris
as ballet-master, and his scrap book is filled
with fiattering press notices of mis- achieve
ments. Twenty-Five years ago ne came
over to America on pleasure trip, and
was induced to stay here at very liberal
salary. 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 off-hand.
He can instruct and manage ballet Of five

1So9 he introduced the KirmesS form Of en-
tertainmenu. One of his greatest successes
was 1.-The flashing Thursday in Venice, -
produced IN 1889 under distinguished pa
tronage. 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, bal
lets. and dances He has several private
classes, composed of the daughters and sons
Of well known society people throughout
the country. He designs the ballets for the
Columbia college boys. and for the college
OF the city of New York, Berkeley, Ly-
ceum. Manhattan and other athletic clubs
md organizations. The entertainments de
signed by him have netted for the cause OF
charity something like one million dollars
Every entertainment he has produced has
been success. On the wall of his pariol
hangs a finely wrought wreath of gold
made by Tiffany, and presented to him by
the patrons of the children's carnival. |,

Nilsson by the patrons of the kermiss.
Professor Marwig is always busy. He is
now engaged experimenting rehearsals Of
two of his latest compositions entitled
The Seasons" and ''Diana's Dream. .
The former is TO be produced this mouth
by the ManhattaA Athletic CLUB. There
will be q ialogues, singing and dancing fol

the patronage of the best society, after

shall be devoted, but one thing is certain
