with well-groomed valet in evening
suit. This youth was about ten years
: of age, to all appearances, and he wore
dress which would have made him
conspicuous in any court IN europe. He
had velvet coat of the Louis XIV. pat
tern, a long white silk waistcoat, pair
of velvet knee breeches, black silk
stockings. silver shoe buckles and no
end of lace and frills. His long yellow
hair hung down in seni-curls upon his
shoulders, and his air was that of the
lapg,lid and thoroughly blase character
of the most hilarious French period. i
was told that he was the son OF Mr..
Westinghouse, the inventor OF the air
brake, and that this evening costume OF
his was mild and dull compared with
the gorgeous vestments in which he
was arrayed upon high social occa-
sions. Some ladies' were present in
the corridor and endeavored to exchange
a few remarks with the young noble
man, but they found him exceed
ingly rude and not specially bright. l
have always had sort of sympathy for
young men born to riches and power.
To me there has always been pathetic
side to prince, and I have been gen
erous enough to excuse most of their
shortcomings upon the ground that
their breeding and environments were
such as to prevent them from develop
ing into true men. AS I contemplated
this little prince of Westinghouse the
other evening 1 found myself wonder
ing what sort of an American citizen
he would prove to be. What ideas OF
life can he have, INDUCED and sur
rounded as he is? I tried to contrast
his present situation with that which
his distinguished father must have oc-
cupied at the same age. Through his
: labor, his genius and his energy Mr..
Westinghouse has made a great for
tune and has conferred great blessings
upon mankind. Who can imagine any
outcome from his spoiled and pam
pered heir? Still, if this boy has Sc
cured the love and adulation of one
fond parent he has an important place
in life and his mission has not been q
useless one.

If New Yorker wants to find his
lawyer or his doctor outside of office
hours the club is pretty sure to be the
professional men who may be seen look
ing out over Madison square of an after
noon from the windows of the old
Jerome mansion at the southeast corner
of Twenty-sixth street and Madison
avenue, is amazing. That is now the
University club house. Prof Witthaus,
the great chemical analyst, whose testi-
mony went SO far with that of DR.. Allan
Mclean Hamilton toward convicting
Carlyle Harris of poisoning the lovely
little woman he didn't want to acknowl-
edge as his wife, is q regular afternoon
figure there. He drops insfor a smoke
on his way from his laboratory down
at the cold, uncanny east end of Twenty
sixth street, almost opposite the
morgue, to his bachelor lodgings in
Twenty third street. 1t is said that New
York has had no more eminent chemist
since r. S. Mccullough, whose testi-
mony in the Wharton poisoning case
years ago made worldwide stir, left
the University of New York at the be-
ginning of the hostile feeling between
north and south in 1860. and went
down to side with his own people. Nc
Cullough was quaint figure, tact
turn, notwithstanding, cold, gray
eyed, silent man. So is Witthaus. The
Germans are the greatest analysts, and
their great test-tube jugglers hold Witt
haus Us they held Mccullough, in high
esteem. Witthpus and Hamilton are
both about Bulls age. The three are
often together at the University club.
1t is question whether any city in the
world can produce another group Of
three so distinguished and successful
men in the science of alleviating human
woe.

David Durham Withers puts an end to
Long Branch as summer resort. Two
years ago, when I last visited that
place, it struck me that its days wore
numbered. The beautiful driveway
along the bluff had been pretty thor
oughly eaten away by the waves; dog
fennel was growing in the front yards
of the cottages, and there was an air Of
dilapidation and neglect which bespoke
village which had long ago seen it's

Nobody will ever know whether

that the ''beautiful'' women who are SO
much written and talked about in New

good looking. Late hours, high living
and stinulants do not conduce to the

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The funeral serv-
ices over the remains of Cardinal Man
ming were held in the Brompton oratory
yesterday. Admission to the oratory
was by ticket only, for it would have
been utterly impossible for the struc-
ture to contain hundredth part of the
vast crowd who were desirous of pay
ing last token of respect to the dead
prelate. The crowd began to gather in
the vicinity of the oratory at an early
hour. and every minute it gained in
size. 1t was composed largely of work
ingmen and their families, and on every
side could be heard expressions of love
for the man who had devoted so much
of his time and talents to bringing
about betterment in their condition,
and who having fought the good fight,
had gone TO his reward.
''He was good to the poor" people in
the crowd were heard to exclaim.
Hundreds of times was this repeated
through the vast crowd, many of the
members of whicA had a personal
knowledge of the kindness of heart of

No Convicts for BriceviIle.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 20.-It was an
nounced today that the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad Company had taken
advantage of the option on the property
of the Cumberland Mountain Mining
Company, including the Oliver Springs
mine. The property is 1900 acres in
extent, and the plan of the new owners
is to develop it fully both by convict
and free labor. Three hundred convicts
will be put to work in the mines, and
this with the number of convicts at
other places, will take every man who
can under the law be worked outside
the prisons. This precludes the re-
turning of convicts to Briceville, even ii
it had not been already determined not
to send them back to that point. The
lesses still owe the State $4,000

The Killing Was Accidental.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 2O.-R. J. Haase, a
member of Tennessee's standing army
stationed at Coal Creek, passed through
the city today en- route to his home in
Memphis. Mr.. Haase said the killing
of a convict by the soldiers few days
ago was purely accidental. Twelve OF
the soldier boys went out to have their
pictures taken representing them as
capturing an escaped convict. One OF
the convicts took his position some dis
tance away and was posing in the act OF
running.
The soldiers, with their guns aimed at
him, were given the word to fire and the
convict fell. All of the guns were sup
posed to be loaded with blank cartridges,
but, in fact, one of the guns had ball
in it, and this ball struck and killed the
convict. Mr.. Haase said he did not
know who killed the convict.

letter of introduction, but he shook his
head doubtfully.

He left me at the end of the avenue and
a strange sight met my eyes. The old lady

easel and vigorously applying the brush to

were driven about by q young peasant girl.
She was dressed in a rather short black
dress covered entirely by a large apron,
over which she wore dilapidated fur
mantle; around her shoulders she had
wrapped a green shawl, as it was rather
cold. Coarse shoes and an old straw hat
completed her costume.

Indifferent to her costume and appearance.
Her short hair had turned gray and her
features bore the signs of old age, but still

her work. ''In moment, sir" Then
stepping hack and looking alternately at
the painting and the cattle, she began:
