How Society News Gets Into Newspapers.
A man who makes q business of col
lecting society news for the newspapers
told of rather queer experience the
other day. He called upon certain
well known leader of the Four Hun
dred, who was to give swell coming
out tea for her daughter. She received
him most graciously, but when he asked
her for information about the tea, who
were to be present, the flowers, the CO.'S
tunes, etc., she threw up her dimpled
hands, and look of horror and amaze
ment came over her face as she protest
ed that not one line should be printed
about the affair. She berated the young
man for asking her such questions, and
entered vigorous protest against news
papers prying into the affairs of other
people. She was most emphatic in her
remarks, and arose with flushed face
and coolly bowed the young man to the
door.
The next day the society reporter re-
ceived note from gentleman friend,
an acquaintance of the lady, saying that
Mrs. So-and-So had sent him informa-
ton about the tea, with request that
he would have it inserted in the news
papers. This friend was too busy to
copy the lady's letter, and SO he sent it
to the reporter that he might have the
information at first hand. This letter
was most minute in its details and was
in the lady's own handwriting. The
gentleman who had received it had not
read the postscript asking him to return
the letter and let no one know the lady
gave the information. The society re-
porter brutally returned the letter to the
lady with thanks for the information,
regretting that she could not have given
it at first hand.
1t would be interesting to know what
the lady who wrote the letter and was
guilty of the clumsy subterfuge had to
say when her missive was returned

Express.

A Brides Dilemma.

A charming young lady walked into a
hair dresser's establishment in the south
eastern section of the city one day last
week and informed the proprietress that
she wanted her hair thoroughly washed
and shampooed, her bangs frizzed and
curled and her tresses dressed in the
highest style of the art. The attend
ants started in, and after duly admiring
the magnificent luxuriance and fine
silken quality of the fair ones golden
locks-and they were beautiful-pro-
ceeded with the shampooing process.
Then twas necessary to fan the hair
and put it into warm box to dry it.
The customer interrupted this portion
of the performance by saying suddenly,
please hurry up the other part of this
business; | am to be married in an
hour"
"But," exclaimed the startled hair
dresser, lit will require all that time to
dry your hair, and can't dress it until
it is dry. Elk it somehow" was the
reply. 81 can't keep the young man,
the minister and the guests waiting"
Her hair was piled up on her head, wet
as it was, and after the bang had been
arranged she left, saying, "T'm not go
ing away, and I'll run run in tomorrow
and let you finish up the job. II haven't
seen the bride since," said the lady Of
the establishment in telling the story,
"and suppose she's too happy to think
of even her hair. She paid me all right,
but or some one else will have terri
BILE time in putting that young wife's
head in order one of these days. "-Phila

WAYS AND MEANS.
Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska, Has
Prepared Tariff Bill.

Congressman Bryan, OF Nebraskas Has
Prepared a Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Atan informal
conference of the Democratic members
of the ways and means committee to-
day, it was agreed that several bills
shall be drawn up by various members
of the committee, and generally dis
cussed and approved by the Democratic
majority, be introduced by their authors
at once into the house, and
referred to the committee. AS the re-
suit, Bryan, of Nebraska, will tomorrow
ask consent to introduce in the house
bill providing that on and after the 1st
of October, 1892, the following articles
be exempt from import duty, unless an
export duty is laid by the country whence
they come, in which case the present
duties shall prevail: Timber hewn and
sawed, and timber used for spars
and in building wharves; timber,
square or sided; wood, unmanufac-
tured not specially enumerated or pro-
vided for; sawed boards, planks, deals
and all other articles of sawed lumber;
hubs for wheels; posts, last blocks,
wagon or gun headings, blocks and all
like blocks or sticks; rough. hewn or
sawed slaves of wood; pickets and pal
lngs; laths, shingles, clapboards; pine
or spruce logs.
Bryan will also introduce other bills
providing for the admission, free, of
binding twine made in whole OF part
from jute, hemp, MANILA, sisal or other
textile grasses or fbrous substances
barbed wire of all kinds, and iron rods
for fencing; all salt, fine and coarse, in
bulk or in packages.
"While these bills have not been for
mally considered by the committee"
said Bryan, there has been SO general
an expression in favor of them that
1 have no doubt of their passage
through the house, and think it
probable they will also pass the senate.
A number of other features of the pres
ent law will doubtless be attacked.
Cotton ties and bagging will receive
attention, as will coal, iron ore, kero-
sene, and number of other things"

WORLD OF SPORT.
LA BLANCHE, THE MARINE. AR
RIvES IN TOWN.
Two Fights Scheduled for This Month-A
Football Match Arranged for Satur-
day-qossip for Horsemen'

There is considerable activity in fistic
circles just at present. The Rochette
and Woods fight takes place at the New
Crib club next Thursday night.
Rochette appears to have the call in
popular favor on account of the fact
that he has more experience in ring
matters. Woods is only 20 years old.
He is reported to be one of the coming
men. He won the only finish fight he
ever engaged In, and his six-round draw
with Billy Akers gained for him many
admirers. The records of the principals
will be published in the HERALD before
the eventful evening. On the same
night there will be several other inter
esting events. The Los Angeles public
will have chance to see Billy Maber,
the Australian pugilist, as Henry
Peppers has agreed to stay in
front of him six rounds. Pep
pers is husky young colored
man who is anxious to gain fame as a
pugilist. 1t should be an exciting setto,
as Maber will concede his opponent
about eighteen pounds in weight There
is also new arrival here named Con-
molly who is thirsting for fight. Billy
Shannon will try him Out next Thus
day night.
The second match this month takes
place at the Pastime club. 1t is set for
January 2Sth, and on that evening Dan
Connors, of Boston, and Harry McCau-
ley will come together. The men are to
weigh in at 100 pounds, and the battle
is for 1900. This is the first heavy
weight match that the club has ar
ranged. McCauley is training at M.
Flynn's Four-Mile house. Connors is
being cared for by Billy Conley at the
racetrack. The latter has the advant-
age in height and reach, but the admir-
ers of McCauley say that his hard hitting
qualities will more than offset this ad-
vantage.
La Blanche, known to fame as The
Marine, arrived in Los Angeles yester-
day, and was shown the city by Billy
Manning The Marine is the man who
first defeated Jack Dempsey, the Non
pareil. The fight took place before the
California club of San Francisco, and
The Marine got in the pivotal swing
which has ever since been called the La
Blanche swing. The Marine has not
been very successful since then. The
fight with young Mitchell ended in a
draw, and his last fight with Greggains,
the San Francisco foul pugilist, ended
ii most unsatisfactory manner. The
Marine is doubtless down here for his
health, as no local club can afford to
offer him sufficient inducement, even if
there was chance of getting match
for the brawny French Canadian.

The Dny After Christmas,


The day after Christmas is often the
most utterly forlorn of all in the year
to certain of the children, if no precau-
ton is taken to impress their minds be-
forehand with the fact that the holiday,
SO great to them, is only the first of
series Of many days in which they are
to enjoy their presents. Waiting until
the next Christmas has most doleful
outlook to little tots. A yearl A whole
yearl How short a span to those of us
who have seen thirty or forty or fifty of
kttem, but what an illimitable future to
those who haven't yet known the yicis-
situdes of half dozenl
Nervous and excitable little folks who
have been indulging their expectations
for days or weeks will, when the sur
prises and novelties are all digested,
suffer sort of reaction and go to bed
ON Christmas night depressed with the
idea that .'it's all over;" and while un-
fortunately it is true and is only fore
taste of what they must learn on more
extended scale when they grow up, we
can plan beforehand little ways of soft
ening the blow, especially for the young
est.
Doesn't Cwissmas be any more to-
morrow asked little three-year-old
in our family, with half frightened
look in her sleepy eyesl "Oh, yesl' she
was hastily assured, "always for babies. !"
And when she had been securely slowed
away in the land of nod a deal of sour
rying was done to prepare trifling sur
prise of some sort for every morning of
the next week.
The tendency on all holidays is to
overdo, and for this reason, if for no
other, it is well to hold something in
reserve for the end of the day-some
toy or game that has an element of per-
manence and which will serve as link
to connect the days following with the
one of greatest celebration. Then, when
sleepy time comes, it will not be shadow
ed with the pail of regret-so severe to
little folks-that Christmas is all over
and that there is to be no more rejoicing
of the same sort for twelve weary
months. -Babyhood.

Iowa Deadlock Broken.

DEs MONIES, Jan. 14.-The deadlock
in the senate was broken this morning.
The lieutenant-governor at the opening
of the senate, said he was now clearly
convinced that only a majority of a
quorum was necessary to elect perma-
nent officers. and not as he before sup
posed that it took majority of all the
members to choose such officers. The
roll was then called on the election Of q
secretary, and the Democrats as usual
refused to vote. The Republican candi-
date was then declared elected, having
received a majority of the votes of those
balloting.

Detecting Flaws in Metal,

Engineering tells that a new instrument
called the schisiophone has been invented,
the object of which is to reveal the pres
ence and the place of any blow holes, flaws,
cracks, or other defects which may exist
in the interior of piece of metal When
these defects are very great, the blow of
hammer on the piece of metal soon betrays
their presence, but for small blow holes,
although these may also be very danger
GUS, there is not enough difference in the
sound given by the hammer striking the
piece of metal for it to be detected by the
ear. The schisiophone, however, will en-
able that difference to be heard. The ap-
paratus consists mainly of a pin which
runs through microphone of special
construction and of an electric battery.
When the pin strikes on good part of the
metal tried, sound is produced, the vi
brations of which affect the electric cur
rent in a certain way, and then certain
sound can be heard in the telephone at
tached to the instrument. When the pin
strikes on part of the metal where there
is defect, the sound produced is different;
the microphone, the current and the tele
phone are then affected differently, and
the defect existing in the metal is revealed
by the difference in the sound heard at the
to1ophouo
