We hereby return our double
breasted thanks to the gallant young
gentlemen of the Merry Makers club
Cor the pressing invitation to at
tend their hop at the French Hall
last Tuesday night. We had fully
intended grazing the occasion with
our distinguished presence and had
even gone so tar as to indulge In the
luxury off hair cut a la pompadour
and q shave, when ar inspection Of
our extensive wardrobe disclosed
the humiliating fact that our stylish
swallow tail had in the lapse of
years grown to small to fttingiy
cover our noble shape while a brood
of vandal mice had made a hahita,
ton and sad havoc of our dancing
pumps. Ia the first pangs of our
grief and disappointment We felt
that life was indeed a blank but
our better half feeIingly consoled US
with the remark that we were get.
ting too old and ugly now for any
Of the pretty girls to dance with.
We doubt this, but it will serve as
q reason for our absence from the
auspicious affair.

Jenny Lind's Judgment of books
though undireeted by anything like lit
erary training, always showed independ-
ence and peretration. She was a de-
voted lover of Carlyle's writings, and
the last book she read before her death
was Mr.. Norton's volume of the corre-
spondence between Carlyle and Emer-
son. No doubt her admiration for the
great denouneer of shams was largely
due to the intense sincerity Of her own
character, which made it impossible for
her to tolerate even those slight deyia-
tions from strict truthfulness which are
seldom taken seriously, but are looked
upon as the accepted formula of society.

TEE PANAMA SCANDAL.


PARIS, Dec. 30,-M. Castelbon, who
was in the list of the twenty six Thierree
checks, as having received check for
10000 francs from Baron Reinach, was a
witness before the Panama commission
of the chamber of deputies yesterday.
The previous explanation in regard to
this check had been that M. Castlebon
was about to start paper called the
Nouvelle Presse and that Senator Paul
Deves had given Castelbon letter of
introduction to Baron Reina ch with the
view of having Castelbon assisted by
Reinacb In his enterprise, and that Cas-
telbon had received the check from Rel
mach for the purpose of aiding him to
start the Nouvelle Presse, Deves cashing
the check.
The Libre Parole had alleged that
Deves was the real beneficiary of the
check, which Deves strenuously denied.
Yesterday, however, Castelbon ad-
mitted that when Deves cashed the
check he, Castelbon, handed back to
Deves $4,000 Of the 10000 francs. This
statement caused sensation.
NJ. Chanlin, late manager of the Soir,
refused to appear before the commission
as witness in regard to the relations of
the Soir to the Panama Canal company.
The commission then adjourned until

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-On the charge
of enticing young girls for immoral pur-
poses, the police yesterday arrested Mrs.
Jette Rathkofski, of II Division street,
and produced evidence upon which she
was held in default of $4,000 bonds for
trial. Mrs. Rathlfofski accosts girls on
the street, inviting them to her rooms.
Lille Brown and Deborah Ahronson,
two 15-year-old girls, were spoken to in
this way, and on Christmas night went
to the woman's rooms. Two mon in her
apartments, as soon as the girls entered
the rooms, with the aid Of Mrs Rath-
kofski, assaulted them and then left.
The girls resisted, but to no purpose.
Fearing discovery and the shame of the
outrage the girls did not go home that
night. Lille Brown was found by her
parents, but the Ahronson girl is still
missing. The detectives are on the
track of the Ahronson girl, and also ex-
pect to catch the two men.
