The valentine tea given yesterday afternoon
by the lady managers Of the Garfield Hospital
was great success 1t was held In the large
suite of pariors ut Wizards Hotel, which were
arranged in a most artistic way and presided
over by a number of prominent ladies' who
have always been SO closely interested in the
work Of this institution. The rooms were
decorated with palms and smilax and there was
excellent music all the afternoon and evening,
supplied by the Third Artillery Band. The tea
room, where. the visitors sat about small round
tables while they partook OF the good things so
literally provided for sale, was in charge Of
Mrs. Staples, assisted by Mrs. John A. Logan,
Mrs. David J. Brewer, Mrs. Bentley, Mrs. W.
w. Burdette, Mrs. Henry Willard, Mrs. W. c.
Hill, Mrs. ]. C. Burrows, Mrs. A. d. Johnston,

A one eyed man with cork soled shoes
was yociferously offering to sell 10 lead pen
ellis for a nickel without appreciable effect
upon the ebb and flow of trade.
A youth just budding into manhood with
every indication of an arrested develop
ment turned to the maiden at his side and
said:
miss Undergone, the least expected al
ways happens"
To which she replied:
"Thank you, Mr.. Letherhed. will take
ice cream soda with raspberry flavor. if you
please"
There was a quaver in the voice of the

The Obelisk Capped.

The work of putting a gilt cap on the
obelisk in Central park has been COM
pleted. The cap is made of zinc, coated
with gold, and is 4 feet II inches high
and 8 feet square at it's base. It extends
about half way down the pyramidion.
The weight of the cap Is sufficient to
hold it snugly in place without any rivets
or cement, but rubber bands have been
placed just above the hieroglyphics to
fill the space between the metal and
stone. The cap was made by Tiffany.
The obelisk is in first class condition,
and not a speck has fallen since 1885,
when it was treated by Mr. Caffall. The
original polish on it's eastern face for a
distance of about five feet below the pyra-
midion is still unimpaired.
The cap was recommended by Profess
or A. A. julius of Columbia college in
his lecture before the Geological society
last month, and the park commissioners
ordered the work to be done.-New York

Beatty's pianos and DREAMS,

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great Or
gan and Piano man of Washington, N. j.,
is buster than ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty
left home a penniless pillow boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his
way up SO as to sell SO far, nearly loo, 900
of Beatty's Pianos and Organs since 1870.
Nothing seems to dishearten him obsta-
cles lay in his way that would have
wrecked an ordinary man forever; he
turns to an advertisement and comes out
of it brighter than ever. His instru-
ments are in use everywhere. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to sell 200, 900 more of his
make. That means a business of $780,
900 900, if we average them at 500 each.
1t is already the largest business of the
kind in existence. Read his advertise
ments.

town of Wilmington, Mass, died last
month. About two years ago she pre-
sented the town with a number of shares
of stock, the income, after her death, to
be used in painting houses in Whining

their houses painted was that they should
not have kept a dog for two years.

The German Emperor has telegraphed his
approval of a letter, in which Herr Gehlert
supports the Army Bills as "a matter If life
. and death to Germany" thus showing that
even il Count Caprivi were to be got rid of,
the Bills would. not be dropped. Meantime,
the Ultramontane Party has nailed the
colours to the mast. At q great public meet
ing at Ratisbon, DR.. Leiber, one of the lead
ers of the Centre, repeated the ultimatum of
his party,-"the embodiment in the Bills OF
the reduction Of military service to a two
ysars' legal term, and no increase in the
annual o%ontingents beyond that required to
maintain, under the reduced term Of service,
the present effective strength of the army,
All talk OF bargains and concessions, he added
was waste Of breath.
On Thursday, Count Caprivi made a very
important speech before the Army Bills
Committee. After declaring that the present
fermsnt in France has increased tho danger
Of the situation, he dwelt upon the great mill
tary strength of Russia and her animosity
towards Germany, and quoted the saying
that the way to Constantinople now lies mot
by way of Vienna, but through the Branden-
burg Gate" What was new in the speech,
however, was the assumption that IN the next
war Denmark will be against the Triple
Alliance, and with France and Russia. II ths
German Foreign Office is really sure OF that
it is no. doubt q most serious matter. Dem
mark opens a door into North Germany.
The speech made a great impression, and
appears to nave improved the chances of the
Bills, which had been greatly injured by the
Ultramontane ultimatum.
According to a Vienna telegram in Wednes-

Here is good story at the expense OF
Armour, the big tinned-meat man of
Chicago The Mayor of New York, while
on visit TO Chicago, went over Armour's
place. While standing with the manager
at a window which overlooked a great
yard he saw herd of oxen driven in. A
lew minutes later there was a great rattle
and crash, which turned out to be the re-
suit of hundreds of tins falling down a
shoot
whats in those tins?" he asked the
manager.
"Ob," was the reply. "they contain all
that's left of those bullocks you just saw
driven byl'
Indeed" said the enlightened traveller.
THAT is simply marvellous! Just wait a
minute while | make note of it,"
And producing a notebook he rapidly
Scribbled down something, while the man
agsr exchanged wiuks with an assistant
working at a neigbboring desk. When the
New Orker got back to his hotel that
evening he was interviewed by Chicago
pressman, who among other questions
said: II believe you have been to Armour's
place to-day; what do you think of p"
"WeTl" said the Mayor. slowly, 81 was
much impressed with Armour's concern.
See, here is note | made of the occur
renee that struck me particularly" and
producing his notebook be turned to the
entry that he bad made at Armour's and
handed it to the reporter to read. 1t ran
thus: Il have been about good bit in my
time and have met some laundering liars,
but never such laundering ones as
