Rain began to drip in on the chair mans desk

at his right, and umbrellas were put up for pro-
lection. The chairman stood his ground, but

raised over his head and he took shelter under

Some Kisses were called out by his remark

A YOUNG Msn worth yvateninc.

The names of James and Erastus. Brooks

and the politicians OF dozen years ago
Both have gone to their long rest, and it is
only occasionally that their names are ever
spoken nowadays. But l saw in the parlor
of one Of the leading clubs the other day
young man of thirty-hve or whereabouts,
who looked like an athlete, and who is going
to be heard of very soon. His name IS
James Wilton Brooks, Ii. D., and he is the
son of the late James Brooks. At one time
young Mr.. Brooks was, without doubt, the
most popular man in New York. He was
practically the owner of the Evening Elk
press. He had fortune, too, of consider
able size, in stocks and bonds, horses, car
riages, yacht and other things that go to
make life cheerful, and he was q member
of at least twenty clubs. He was steady.
too, in his habits, but unfortunately some
business enterprise that he was engaged in
carried him down, and he lost everything
He was elected TO the lower branch of the
legislature, and made creditable record
there. Then he began work in the law,
and from that day TO this he has been
engaged in many enterprises, some of
which have proved profitable. for ne is now
the successful editor of the University Mag
Rzine. and is making money in other direc-
tons as well He has rejoIned some OF the
best clubs, and has emerged triumphantly
from behind the cloud OF adversely. pro-
ceedinG which at one time seemed almost
impossible. But this IS q queer world. my
masters. and once a man begins TO rise he
IS feted and made much OF, and Mr.. Brooks
Is enjoying that delightful experience Just

In the maelstrom of financial disaster such
ns overlook him, but he fought like giant
for life and has won handily. He is young
man who is worth bearing in mind. He win
be heard from in the near future.

always doing something in positive, ag-
gressive way to draw attention TO himself
His success is something astounding even
10 himself. l fancy, for he began life with
out very brilliant prospects. In his early
days he was q schoolmaster in New Hamp-
shire, and from that unimportant position
in life to throne in Wall street is a step
not easily taken. Mr. Corbin, however,
has found Wall street life very profitable
and congenial as well. He is engaged in a
great many enterprises, most of which pay
handsomely. He has accumulated large
fortune, and lives like a sYbarite on Fifth
avenue when he is in town. He has beau
tiful country place in New Hampshire
where he has varied assortment of Yalu-
able game. Some of his time is devoted to
this charming resort. and he is also seen
very frequently at either one of the big
hotels on Coney island that he has managed
SO successfully.
In appearance, Mr. Corbin is a man close
to sixty years of age, but with full round
figure, frmness Of step and clearness of
eye that tell plainly he has taken good care
of himself He manages to sec a good deal
of life and he entertains on sUnptueus
scale. But when he works, he works to
make money. He has surrounded himself
with stan OF young, brilliant and brainy
men, and upon these he relies implicitly.
Nor do they disappoint him. He is the most
metbodlcalt of men and campaigner who
lays out his plans well in advance.He must
be worth good many millions of dollars
now, all of which have come to him by hard
work. He is one of the best examples

The Woman,s Dinner.

The woman'S dinner is the latest During
the last half dozen years woman has sue
cessfully invaded every trade, profession
and business where men were for so long
pre-eminent, until it seemed quite impossi-
bic for the wearers of petticoats to go much
further. They have organized clubs of
their own. They are heard in the pulpit.
They sometimes plead at the bar. They
harangue from the stump. They have be-
come co-meinbers of large number of
clubs, until, as a matter of fact, it seemed
there was one thing only where men main
tanned their supremacy This was the con-
Ventional mems dinner party to which
women were never asked, and where a
dozen or more good fellows sat down to q
feast and end it at any hour they pleased,
without thought of what the women might
say. But just now in New York the
woman's dinner has come to be regarded
as an Institution that is likely to succeed
During the last two or three weeks several
dinner parties have been given, to which
only women were invited-not banquets
Of the members of societies, where
all sorts of queer questions may be
discussed, but bona fde dinner parties
at swell houses, where the tables are
beautifully set and the women sit down
IN state at O'Clock, have an enjoyable
time, and find quite as much to talk about
rs men do on similar occasions. l am told
these dinner parties are successful. There
seems to be no lack of conversation and
witty repartee. 1t is simply another evil
dence of woman's ascendency in this big
town, and goes to show to mankind that
the wearers of trousers are not so dread
fully important after all. Perhaps this
plan may fail, because women are some
times said TO be uninteresting to women,

that is being made in dead earnest, and we
shall watch its progress with great interest.

Mrs. Grover Cleveland's sea son at Lake
wood is about over. The wife of the ex-
president has become dashing, straight and
strong. and she is often seen in town these
days in the shopping district making pur-
chases for the spring and summer. Her
winter at Lakewood with Baby Ruth has
been very enjoyable. The air there is soft
and balmy The winter residents are
wealthy and cheerful. and make up 4 happy
colony men and women who have nothing

they can, re matter what the expense may

great deal, and in turn she has given some
elaborate luncheon and dinRer parties. Her

speoial coErssp0naenee Of the eazette.

Special Correspondence OF the Gazette
NEW York, March 22-I saw Richard
Croker on the street to-day, and very
remarkable man he is, too. In physique he
seems 10 be as strong as q giant, He IS of
about medium height. His shoulders are
broad. His face is covered with a short
black beard. but it is frank and open in ex-
preston. His nose is rather prominent
an indication of greatness. His lips are
thin and his mouth is firm and well set
He was dressed in an ordinary business
suit Of some dark material, wore heavy
beaver .overcoat and silk hat, and moved
along through the crowd without attracting
the slightest attention, and yet he is to-day
the most important figure in city and state
politics from Montauk Point to Lake Erie.
In many ways Mr.. Croker resembles his
predecessor, the great John Kelly. His
voice IS SOFT and low as was that of Kelly.
HIS methods are much the same, too. He
is frankness Itself. Even his enemies ad-
init that he never tells q lie. If ne saws he
will do thing, it is not necessary to ask
him to sign a letter to that effect. His
word is enough, and If he says that he viii
not 40 this or that, he may be relied upon
just as implicitly. In a word, he is
truthful, positive. aggressive man,
whose main characteristics are
kindly and who is always willing
TO help those who have been loyal to
In local politics he has no hesitation in say
Ing so. And if he begins war on him it is
an open fight, with no favor on the, side of
the big chief. He has never been known to
take mean advantage of anyone Ne is a
fair, square man, and is respected not only
by his associates in Tammany hall, but by
large number of business men and Re
publcans as well In the ensuing cam
paign Mr.. Crokerwill have an opportunity
TO show his mettle. So far as Tammany
hall is concerned, his word is absolute and
final. All his subordinates cordially CO.
operate with him, and so it happens that
Tammany hall will go into the election con
test without any internal quarrels, which
is something unusual in that great organ
ization. It must not be supposed that Mr.
Croker is only man OF local Importance
On the contrary, he is consulted by Demo-
cratic leaders throughout the state, and he
is often asked to conferences in Washing
ton, where the leaders of the national
Democracy assemble. He is slow of speech,
thoughtful before acting. but when he goes
into fight. it is to win, and so far he has
made good record.

An After Dinner Scene IN 4 Fifth Avenue
Mansion.

Mansion.
Dancing has been fad in New York for
a good many months. but just at present
there is increased interest in it because
some very clever women, by their graceful
movements. have added new lustre to the
menclta, the Spanish dancer. She IS still
seen nightly on the stage of one of the
Twenty-third street playhouses, but after
her performance there she is seen to better
advantage in private houses, where, after
big dinner, the ball room is thrown open
for the diversion of the guests. It so hap
pens that the concert hall where Carmen
eta is engaged nightly is not such place
that women may enter freely even with
their escorts. And thus it comes that
women who are anxious to see her graceful
movements engage. her services for per-
f0rmances in their own houses. For this
Carmencita charges alarge sum-S200, I am
told, being her fee IN most cases. She al
ways gives satisfaction, and she must be
adding very largely to her already snug
bank account.
Miss Loie Fuller is another graceful
dancer who is loudly applauded at the
theater at night. and later is seen to ad-
vantage at the houses OF some of the best
people in town. Personally Miss Fuller is
q most agreeable little woman, and all her
friends are glad that she has at last be-

rapturous applause. After an interval of
fifteen minutes she sang again and made
another decided impression. Then came
the third and last song. The singer was

Mark Twain No Longer Populsr

The gossip of literary circles is to the ef-
feet that Mark Twain's letters from abroad
are unsuccessful, and it is quite likely they
may soon be discontinued. OF this know
nothing, but do know that every one who
has read them comedies that Twain has
added nothing to his reputation by writing
them. Indeed, there is marked decline in
Twain literature just now. His books are
no longer as popular as they were. People
seem to have tired of him, and from every
where comes the same report. But to
Twain personally, perhaps, this makes no
difference. He IS very wealthy man, and
can afford to take the remainder of his life
easily. He is paid large sum for these
letters, and all the money he has made out
OF literature he has invested in way that
gives him line income.
The one humorist whose work is con-
stantly in demand is Bill Nye. His weekly
letters have a larger sale to-day and are
more widely copied than the work of any
other literary man in America. His in
come alone from these letters is over
$4,000 year. Nye is quite the reverse of
Twain in many ways. He is agreeable,
courteous and always anxious TO help young
men and women who are trying TO get on in
the profession of letters. Twain, on the
other hand, is sour and surly, and particu-
larry dislikes to see young men or women
who have letters of introduction TO him
and who might hope to profit by his counsel
and advice.
Just before Twain sailed for Europe from
this city one of the best known magazine
editors IN town met him on Broadway
This editor was on his way to the Authors
club. He invited Twain to accompany him.
Twain haughtily declined. When the editor
reached the club he told fellow member
that he had seen Twain and invited him to
the club house.
''Why didn't he come with youan was the
question put to the editor.
'WeH, you see, replied the editor slowly,
''Twain is a sensible man. He has got such
a big head that he knows he couldn't enter
the club door, and 1 didn't offer to take
down the front of the building that he
might enter"
