DR.. Parkhurst In tho Pulpit.

Rev. Charles Henry Parkhurst, D. D.,
who IS at the moment the cynosure of all
eyes in this big town because of his scathing
arraignment of official corruption. is Mas
sachusetts man who has made the Madison
square Presbyterian church one of the most
attractive places of worship in this CITY,
There are lew occupants of the pulpit who
are better educated than DR.. .Parkhurst
While still a boy at work in dry goods
store he began to study the classics, and
from this the higher branches of literature
and the complicated question Of science.
He made a splendid record while at
Amherst college, and soon after his gradua-
ton became principal of the Amherst high
school. Later he was appointed Greek pro-
fessor at Williston seminary, but from this
ne retired to pursue his studies in Germany
He is one OF the best students of Sanscrit
in America. His published works have at
tracted much attention.
In the pulpit DR. Parkhurst is az interest
ing if not imposing figure His church is
always crowded. His tongue is eloquent,
but he confines himself too closely to his
written sermon to be quite as effective with
his hearers as he should be- He wears
spectacles, has long and rather thin face,
black mustache, and chin whisker, broad
forehead and black hair. He is of rather
slight build When he speaks the words
come from his tongue as freely as a torrent
from swollen stream
DR.. Parkhurst is preacher who believes
it the duty of the pulpit to attack sin
wherever IL is found, in high or low places.
He never minces his words. Whatever he
says comes fairly and squarely from a man
who believes he is right. His sermon upon
the administration of New Yorll's gov
eminent has attracted more general atten-
ton than any sermon delivered in New
York within year.

nIcAllister and the GOO. 81

There is nothing so interesting to those
who are not in the social swim as a discus
sion of those men and women who may
properly be said to represent New York
society. Mr.. Ward McAllister, who has
somehow come to be regarded as the social
pooh-bah of this city, delights in stirring
people up every now and then by making
out new lists of those who are SAID to CON
stitute the real 400" Mr.. McAllister has
some unique ideas on this subject. Some
times it would seem that he goes at the
work much the same as novice would
attempt to hew great tree. He makes a
good many notcheS, and the SplinterS fly in
all directions without hurting anybody
while the tree remains standing I suppose
it will always be question TO be discussed
by those interested. Who are the real
leaders of New York society?
Mr.. McAllister cannot decide it, nor can
any other single man. 1t depends upon the
people themselves, but it would be interest
ing if some sort of q compromise could be
effected 50 that we might know just who
the members of the ''400'' really are, and
just what standard is set to gauge them by
and what are the necessary qualifications
for membership in this noble band. There
are great many people whom Mr.. Neal
lister has never included in his list, people
who are Just as deserving of membership
in the ''400'' as any who have been named,
but who are not admitted simply because,
for variety of reasons, it is impossible to
have them.
However, no matter who these people
may be, there is this to be said about New
York society men and women as seen dur
ing this winter: They have entertained
more lavishly than ever before; have given
more money to charities than ever before; ;
there has been less scandal in high places,
and in a thousand ways society people have
shown to New Workers that they can be
helpful to those who are not so fortunate as
themselves in being the possesors of large
fortunes.

So Publlo splrtt in Sow YORK.

It may truthfulIy be said that New York
ers have less public spirit than the people
of any other city. This fact could be
clearly demonstrated in hundred ways if
it were necessary. Every time that an at
tempt is made to raise money for some pub
lie enterprise there are few willing hands
to ASSIST, but not enough to make the
affair 4 success. The Grant monument en-
terprise still lags, although heroic attempts
have been made by several influential and
wealthy gentlemen to get the public inter-
ested.
Just now the New York Herald is strug-
Cling to raise few thousand dollars to pur-
chase silver service for the cruiser, New
York. The amount so far subscribed is
trivial in the extreme. In any other city
than New York SIS, 900 could have been
raised for such a purpose in forty-eight
hours. At the present rate of getting
money it will be quite a year before the
necessary amount is subscribed, and this
can only be accomplished then by the most
persistent begging. New York city may
be great IN some ways, but IN others its
people are laggards, of whom the Empire
City may well feel ashamed.

Address

prised many Of those present blythe earn
est manner in which he advocated action on
the resolution. He said the assertion that
New Jersey could not be carried on free
silver plank was untrue. New Jersey was
a Democratic state, regardless Of the silver
question. He had carried his district by
an increased majority with a free silver
plank.
Pierce of Tennessee answered those who
asserted that free silver would hurt the
party. He maintained that free coinage
was strong with the people and would gain
the party votes. If free silver bill
were passed. he asserted that the result
would be large gains for the Democrats,
and especially in West Virginia,
North Carolina and Virginia, which
were all close states. in which
the party would Stand the chance of losing
the presidential election if the demand for
free coinage is not met.
The debate grew tiresome, and as it was
evident that the members were in favor Of
adjournment, Mr. Oates, free-coinage
man, therefore moved to adjourn. He said
that the anti-coinage men had stated that
they would not be bound by caucus action.
He had assurances that the committee on
rules would bring in rule making the
Bland bill a special order. 1t was evident
the free coinage men were in the majority,
but no good could come of forcing vote
A spliJ occurred among the free-coinage
men over the motion 10 adjourn. some
favoring caucus adoption of the Bland
resolution. II was finally decided, how
ever to adjourn, to So.
The result OF the caucus seems to beltha
the silver question is left Just about where
1t was before the caucus was held.

Tho succ,,sor of Abe Red Necktie.

When the red necktie first burst upon
New York last fall it was joy to the heart
of the dude. Suddenly, as if by magic,
every other man met was wearing blood
red scarf. Then the real swells down town
became disguised and left them of, and for
a couple of months only habitues of the
race track and Office boys have led in the
fashion. Now the yhaberdashers have a
new novelty for men for spring and sum
mer wear. This time it is not {. neck scarf,
but something very dainty in shirts. The
fashion comes from London. of course. and
will be very popular here for time. Blue,
lavender and pink of the most delicate
tints have been made into shirts, and when
the early spring days come every swell
about town will have to wear them or con-
fess he is not in the swim. The price for
these adjuncts of mans wardrobe puts
them out of the reach of the many. They
cost S45 dozen. Until the price is greatly
reduced only the wealthy can enjoy such
luxuries.

VIM Edwin Booth play Ara,n9

Rumor is busy again with the name of
Edwin Booth, and it seems likely that he
may be seen again on the stage next winter
in round of his favorite characters. Just
at present, however, he seems to be far
from well. saw him few nights ago as
he entered the Players club He was en-
veloped from head to foot is a huge ulster.
The collar was turned up about his ears.
His shoulders stopped and he walked
slowly, as if greatly fatigued. His face is
thin and sallew. His eyes are dull and
sunken in their sockets. He was smoking
a large cigar. and seemed Ill at ease.
In the Players club Mr. Booth finds the
congenial spirits that ne so much loves. He
makes his home there, and every member
pays him q generous tribute of love and re-
spect. He may be seen almost any evening
in favorite corner, chatting in a low voice
TO few friends. He does not make many
new acquaintance, and pays little heed 10
what is going on about him. He has only a
few friends in the newspaper profession,
and he is very shy of reporters. He is the
one man in the theatrical profession who
will not permit himself to be interviewed.

Silver Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Democratic
members of the house met in conference to-
night pursuant to the call issued by Repre-
sentative Holman, chairman of the caucus,
for the purpose of considering the follow
ing resolutions, which are now published
as submitted to the caucus having been
revised since the request for a call as cir
cplated by Harter of Ohio.
Resolved, that we are in favor of the
continued use Of both gold and silver as
money and that We are unalterably opposed
to any legislation which will drive either
metal out of general circulation.
Resolved, that in justice to the Demo-
cratic party and with due consideFS ion for
the general business, indust. ,ep and
financial interests of they Stion,
we deem it the duty Of the ssfsczso attic
members of the tifty-second COY y, to
defer any definite action on the S,no n of
free coinage until the question of r wis
dom and justice is distinctly made 4 the
elections of 1892. The call continues: We
ask you further to invite the Democratic
mem bers OF the senate to this conference.
1t was O'Clock when Chairman Holman
called the caucus to order. The caucus was
very well attended. If Harter thought the
invitation to Democratic senators would be
generally accepted he was mistaken, for
Butler Of South Carolina was the only sena-
tor present.
Mr.. Harter opened the proceedings with
a speech in which he stated that in accord
ance with the programme which had been
outlined at conference held between anti
and silver men the question was
put to the ants whether or not
they would agree 10 be bound by caucus
proceedings. After some little discussion
1t was agreed that the conference should not
be regarded as binding upon any one and that
members should be free to vote as they
chose In stating the objects Of the caucus
Harter made q speech against the advisa-
bility of the passage of free coinage bill
Mr.. Bland Of Missouri then offered res
olution instructing the committee on rules
to bring in especial order fixing March %
as the date on which the silver bill should
be taken up, discussed and kept before the
house until finally acted on. Against this
resolution Mr.. Warner OF New York raised
the point of order claiming that under the
call, in response to which the members were
present, the resolution could not be con-
sidered. The point of order was oyerruled
and no appeal was taken after this de-
cision.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Bland.
Bryan Of Nebraska, Fuller and Hooker, IN
favor of the Bland resolution.
MIR. Williams of Massachusetts spoke in
opposition TO it, declaring it would bring
disaster 10 the Democratic party in
the East. Mr.. Williams then appealed to
the Southern members to stand by the
Eastern Democrats, who, he said, had
stood by the South against the elections

Charley Hoyt and the Critics.

Charles Hoyt. who has done more than
any man of to-day to make people laugh,
paid high and deserved compliment to the
American critics, in conversation with me
the other day.
''It's all humbug," he said, ''for people to
say that critics of the drama are not honest
in their criticism. Take my own case for
example. l have been producing plays for
n good many years now. 1 travel every
year from one end OF this country to the
other, and 1 can say truthfully that have
never been approached by a critic, or
friends of critic, for any sort of compen-
sation for what they have written about
me or my plays. Never, never, never; and
want to say, to the eternal credit of the
American critics, that I think they are
honest and sincere when writing about the

are well liked in New York society; indeed,
few women have so many friends as Mrs
Pryor. She has a cordial frankness of
manner that makes her popular, and she
has no hesitation when speaking of herself
to owning up that she is nearly sixty years
Of age She looks much younger. Her
face is still free of wrinkles, her eyes
sparkle and there is a glow Of health upon
her cheeks. She is deeply interested in the
charities OF New York, and has freely
given her time and money to help the IN
fortunate. She is graceful writer, and,
better than all this. an Incompatible
housewife, and q mother who has taught
her daughters the almost forgotten art of
housekeeping. Just at this time Mrs.
Pryor is engaged in an effort to make the
Mary Washington monument association
something more than name. She has gone
into the work with the ardor of young
woman, and in little while we shall see
some good results. Few women are better
liked among women than Mrs. Pryor
There is no envy in her soul, and she has
only kind words for the deserving. She is
always seeking out helpless people, and
trying to better their condition.

The Land of Divorces.

A New York woman, who has Just re-
turned from South Dakota with her decree
of divorce securely locked in her trunk,
says that Sioux Falls, and other places in
the state where divorce is easy, is overrun
with unhappy men and women from all
corners of America, who have only one
idea now in life, and that to break the mat
rimonial bond. This lady says that Sioux
Falls is as overcrowded as miners camp
when the report has gone forth Of the dis
covery of precious ore. She says that the
cost of living is quite three times as high
as it should be, and the women are as en-
vious and jealous of each other as it is pos
sible to imagine At rough guess, she
continued, quite S25O,OOO is annually spent
there by seekers after divorces, and the
shopkeepers act like so many Italian brig
ands.
