much for the sake of her own charming personality and accomplishments as be cause of her illustrIous lineage. Miss Grant is extremely pretty, having per fectly regular features and abundant fluffy light hair. She is tall and slender and carries herself in q manner very stately for young girl. Her New York debut was not her first experience in fashionable gayeties. for she was pre- sented at court in Vienna last year, when Colonel Grant was minister tu Austria and has seen something of Chicago soci ety since the family's return from Flu rope
 Chicagoans, in fact, had just begun tc claim her for their very own when Colo nel Grant took house in New York fol the winter and established his family in the metropolis. The house is rather small and unpretentious, but Colonel and Mrs. Grant will do a great deal of enter taining in their delightfully."- informal fashion anl. it is needless to say, will be constantly entertained themselves. Mrs. Grant, it will be remembered, was Miss Ida Honore of Chicago, but her accom-. plishments and tactfulness have made her as great favorite in New York as in the Lake City.
 Miss Julia was born in the White House during the last year of General Grants term as president-inJ June, 1876, to be more oxact-and as child was a great favorite with her illustrious grand father, of whose household she and her parents were members at the time of his death. Her life abroad has developeI her wonderfully. and it is not difficult to foresee that before the winter is over she will be one of New York's reigning bellies

compelled to go to work to help sustain his mother and sisters. His first em. ployment was secured in tobacco fac tory at 30 cents a week, and after that he worked in a collar manufactory and in store as porter.
 During all this time he devoted every leisure moment to study, being ambi- tious to secure an education. His prog. reSs was good, and he mastered Latin almost without assistance. He subse- Quently entered St. Francis college, and on the completion of his studies there was accepted as n student at the propa. ganda in Rome. where he spent six years and was ordained, celebrating his first mass in St. Peters on Easter Sunday. 1886.
 Returning at once to Quincy, Father Tolton was placed in charge of St. Jo- seph's colored congregation, where he remained for about three years. Chica- go, however. offered a larger and more progressive field, and on Archbishop Feehans invitation he went there and organized the congregation of St. Moni- ca's church. He is fluent and graceful talker and has n singing voice of excep- tional sweetness, which shows to good advantage in the chants of the high mass. It is no unusual thing for many white people to be seen among his congresa- tion.

 Young man, good steel was never spoiled by wear. Rust is what does it rust, rust, rust"
 That was the venerable Bishop Fay lor's reply to the suggestion of young minister that it would be legitimate for him to retire from active work now and leave the management of affairs in his African diocese to his subordinates. The good old bishop absolutely refuses to give himself up to either rest or rust and started off on his recent journey from New York to his hishopric in the dark continent with more nerve and hopeful ness than many younger people feel on the eve of q pleasure tripto Europe. He is B years old but he showed no heSi- tancy in undertaking a journey that might easily dishearten a man of %.
 The object of Bishop Taylor's journey is to visit all his African missions, so that he can see for himself just how things arc going on, help and encourage the resident missionaries, straighten out tangled affairs and extend the work wherever possible. He expects to travel much farther into the Congo country than any missionary has ever yet gone and to preach the gospel To black savaSes

Father Tolton and the Imposing Church
 Hc Is Building In Chicago.
 Father Augustus Tolton, who has the distinction of being the first Roman Catholic priest of the negro race or dained especially for missionary work among the colored people of the United States, is now engaged in the erection of a church for his congregation in Chicago which promises to be an ornament to the city. Ii is dedicated to St. Monica, the mother of St. Augustine, and is expected to be completed in July next. The struc ture will be of Gothic architecture, with two spires of unequal height, and the material pressed brick, trimmed with Bedford stone. The seating capacity of the church proper will be $50. and the Sunday school rooms will accommodate 500 more. The interior woodwork will be of white oak, and the building will be heated by steam and lighted with cleo tricity.
 A unique and interesting life history is Father Tolton's. He was born a slave on Missouri plantation. and on the outbreak of the war his parents escaped to the north, taking their children with them. They reached Illinois in safety and located at Quincy, where the father of the family soon died and Augustus was

SENATOR VEST unmercifully scored ex- Minister Stevens and the New Englanders who Instigated the Hawaiian revolution, in short speech. replying to one made by Senator Frye eulogizing the christian qualities of Mir Stevens. He made a pal pablo hit and raised a hearty laugh when he charged that the New England revolu- tionists of Hawaii had christianized the natives out of their country. taking posses sion of it under the name of God, and then dividing the lands among themselves under a law made by themselves. and he stated great truth, manifest to all men, when he said that it was the policy of the republicans to have. instead of the com pact continental republic established by the fathers. d great, expansive territory acquiring government extending to the islands of the ocean, and to the uppermoSt parts of the earth. Mir Vest believes that the true policy of the United States in Hawaii and all other foreign countries is hands off"
 THE charge has beeR made that em- ployes of the Western Union telegraph in certain quarters are in league with the green goods" swindlers, and that through that corporation alone is it possible for these outlaws to prosecute thelr business. In connection with this, it is also said that the policy business is entirely dependent upon the Western Union, from whose wires the reports of the drawings are daily sent. The president of the Jersey City police board recently had his attention called to the matter, and as n result of his investigations has instituted proceedings against the telegraph company. It is not reasonable to suppose that the officials of the Western Union have anything what ever to do with these swindlers. and the connection of the company with them sim ply results from its transmission of mes sages received in the ordinary course of business. It will be doubtless a difficult and delicate matter to entirely exclude such business from the wires, but it is certainly possible that, as legislation has succeeded in great measure Tn excluding all such matter from the mails, something by way of law may reduce to A minimum the use of telegraph and express con- panies for this and similar illegal and inn moral purposes.

Cleaning Delicate T.aces.

Here is Q recipe for cleaning delicate laces which an old lacemaker who has woven many a gossamer web for the great connoisseur and lover of laces, Mime. Modjeska, gave to her pupil and patron: Spread the lace out on paper, cover with calcined magnesia, place an- other paper over it and put it away be- tween the leaves of a book for two or three days. Then all it needs is skill full little shake to scatter the powder, and its delicate threads are as fresh and clean as when first woven. Mime. Mod jeska is quite an adept at the art of lace making and fashions many dainty pat terms with her delft fingers.

An Interesting Structure In Washington. The Relic Which Stands IH the Back Room-A Ean Split by the Great Eman- cIpator-PIcturcs In the Collection.
Special Corrcspondcnce.


 WAsuINGroN, Dec. l2--There Is no more interesting structure in this city of historic houses and buildings than the old brick dwelling house which stands on Tenth street, opposite Ford's theater- It is' the building in which Abraham Lincoln died. The fact that it was the scene of such a superlatiye tragedy was alone sufficient to cause the house to be marked as one of the famous buildings of the Capital City, and to lead to the erection upon its dingy facade of a marble tablet announcing in simple language the cause of its celebrity. As the scene of l.incoln's death il has been visited by thousands upon thousands of people, and has long been regarded as one of the regulation show places of the city. But now it is infinitely more interesting than 1t ever was before. In the old house is now installed most admirable collection of Liucoluonia-

Art Thirty Years Ago.

One of thesc pictures is almost comical. In it the artist has pp,tended that he is working up a photograph of the scene. There is the bs,l, with Mir. Lincoln lying upon it in his death throes, and surround ing him are the physicians and the members of his family. Remembering his fraudulent pretense of the use of a camera, the artist draws all his fgurss with their faces turned toward the instrument-all but the physi- elan, who alone of all the company Is pay ing attention to the patient. The others are moro interested in having their picture took by "our special artist" than they arc in the fate of a ruler of a nation. This would be comical if it were not trayesty upon so great a tragedy. One feature alone of the so called photograph would stamp it as an imposture, if any proof of its fraudu- lent character were needed. In the so called photograph Mrs Lincoln is represented as standing at the bedside of her husband, while the facts arc she was not present at the death scene at all. She was by his side few moments after his removal from the theater to the house, but her grief was so great as to endanger her own life. and she was led away to the executive mansion and did not sec Mir. Lincoln again till after his death.
