Men Who Are Not in Society.
Now York nttnr

In one OF his outpourings the other day
Ward McAllister told his reportorial friend
that Joe Choate, the lawyer, for whose bril-
liant genius he actually confessed regard,
was mot in society" for the reason that he
cared nothing for it. This remark is sig
nifcant. There are no Joe Choates in the So
called social set. The really brilliant men
and women of New York are not there for
the reason that they care nothing for it."
Depew has been read out of the Inner cir
cle'-or, to state the bald, brutal fact. he
was barred out of it before he got inland
if he did not subscribe literally TO the
New Years balls and other pass-the-hat
functions he could not have his name
printed IN the newspaper list of even the
common, frayed-out Four Hundred. But
Mr.. Depew looks upon society as quite
harmless while atfording some amuse-
ment. Being rich and generous, he will
continue so pay his assessments and caper
around on the outskirts simply for the fun
he gets ont of it.
The late Henry ". Grady, the Southern
orator and editor, was man for whom
society always mad its net out. but never
succeeded in wholly capturing. When he
was young he was fond of social gather
ings, but got over it even before he
reached middle age. IL is told of Grady
that when he was drawn into society
with hawser he never got inside the
parlor door. His favorite position was to
sit outside leaning against the wall.
his hat on the back OF his head and
tookpick between his teeth. Here he
would entertain n dozen people al once,
and notwithstanding his tooJhpick and
the fact that he would not trust his hat TO
the hatrack, was the lion Of the occasion.
Men like Grady and Choate, and the older
fellows, likespaniel Dougherty and Coll
onel IngerIbll. could do a great deal for
society: but they won't. All they ask OF
il is TO be let alone

DIR. Parkhurst Gets a Rise.
New York Letter


Dr. Charles II. Parkhurst, pastor OF the
Madison Sqnare Presbyterian church.
preached a good many years in this town
without people finding it out. He saw the
Rev. Tom Dixon and DR.. Peters, like
couple of young Lochinyars, come out OF
the West-or maybe it was the South
and lift themselves amid the stars by their
own Wristbands, while he, the schol-
arly and refined Parkhurst' pounded
his Presbyterian pulpit IN VAN.
up none of his learned sermons
and he preached and passed the plate
with scarcely indifferent success. Then
he concluded to Out-DiZon Dixon. and, 10.
he is at once the most talked-of preacher
in town. In a single morning he has
years to gain. DR.. Parkhurst simply
forged q thunderboit and huFied it into
the "quivering vitals" of the Tammany
tiger. As result of this, the beast, like
error, writhes in pain and also threatens
TO die amid its worshipers. At the same
time, DR.. ParkhUrst is not very well
himself, and doubtless wishes he had
made use of language more becom-
ing to his cloth. He has gained nothing
and proved nothing by shouting from the
pulpit that the city authorities are ely
ing, perjured. rum-soaked, lioidinOus lot
that they are polluted harpies who, under
pretense of governing the city. are feeding
day and night on its quivering vitals."
DIR. Parkhurst uttered many other gems
of thought, including a reference to 4
"criminality that is fithifylng our entire
municipal life" In this and other in
stances the doctors vehemence forced him
outside the dictionary to find words to eX
press the feelings that surged for utterance.
1t is not often that minister succeeds in
so thoroughly tearing a passion TO tatters
in every respect, and, of course. the
doctor is the reigning sensation. Caliph.
the big hippopotamus in the Central Park
menagerIe, has had the stomach ache, and
it required the united efforts of twelve
staIwart men and horse doctor to give
him a pill as formidable as q baseball.
And, yet, through all this excitement, DIR.
Parkhurst has steadily held the public
eye. Still, l may as well state that there
is fixed and stony glare about it which
makes the doctor slightly uncomfortable

ATTEMPTED ARSON AT BALLARD
Eccentric Barber Gales Shop Set on
Eire-Gale In Iaf.

About II o'clock Friday night an attempt was
made to burn the barber shop OF George Wash
lngton Gale Gale is the negro barber who has
become notorious in various ways For long
time he imagined he was mayor, aud was ac-
tually nominated aud declared elected in n
spirit OF fun by crowd of practical jokers. He
afterWard created some alarm by marching to
the council rooms, with large pistol in his hip
pocket with the avowed intention OF taking the
mayors chair. He was dissuaded from
this course by a promise OF be-
ing made city detective, and for long
time afterwards continued to send petitions to
the city council for his appointment to this OF
hce. In some way he concluded he was the city
detective, and arrested one or two prisoners ille-
gsiIy, but the prisoners, nevertheless, were
hned. Gale himself was, however, finally ar
rested aud fined for assaulting and beating
Mexican woman who lived with him as his
Wife. Since then he has been very quiet
lew weeks ago the Mexican woman died,
ana Gale became sadly diSconsolate until a few
days ago. when he brought Freuch woman to
live with him in rooms back of his barber shop
on Ballard avenue. This probably caused some
person to try to burn him out, with the hope Of
driving him out OF town.
The barber Shop is situated close to A. c.

ofthe street, which would have been endan-

Miss Gale This Week.

Miss Gale comes to the opera-house next
Thursday evening for an engagement of
three nights. OF Miss Gales dramatic
abilities and personal attractiveness little
need be said to theater-goers, for her adj
rairable work. first as leading lady for
Lawrence Barrett and then in support of
the Booth-Barrett combination, is well and
pleasantly remembered. Although young.
she has gained unusual stage experience
by playing so many exacting roles. and it
is but right to add that her ambition to
star seems only justiiable. Miss Gale has
wisely secured a promising leading man in
the person of Creston Clarke, whose claims
to public favor by no means rest on the
fact that he is the nephew of Booth and
the son of John S. Clarke. The general
support, including old members of the
Booth-Barrett company, will. so it is
promised, be capable at all points. The
play selected for Miss Gales entree is
Romeo and Juliet" On Friday night
CAS- You Like 1t" will be produced and
the engagement will close Saturday with
an elaborate presentation of "Ingomar."

Bobby Gaxlor as sport McAIlis,er

1t Will no doubt be pleasing news to the
thousands of admirers of Bobby Gaylor TO
learn that he will visit the scenes of his
early triumphs. Mr.. Gaylor will be re-
membered as being the reigning favorite
Irish comedian of many years ago and he
is to appear here next Tuesday and
