Some New York Heiresse,.

There are several heiresses who live in
the immediate neighborhood of Wash

a very pretty girl, and the daughter OF
Mr. John Fl. Davis. Miss Davis mar

possibly be an event of the winter Miss
Fanny Taller, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. N. Taller, is always much ad-
mired. She is a blond, and will unques-
tionably inherit much money. Miss
Annie Langdon, a sister of Mrs. Royal
Phelps Carroll, is said to have at least
10000 a year and the prospect of much
more She is also one of the Washing

quently last winter at entertainments
here where the first wife of her mothers
second husband, the Marquis de Talley-
rand Perigord, was guest. 1t will be
remembered that the marquis on marry
ing Mrs. Stevens assumed different
title, which he had right to, and is

present duchess inherited her enormously
large fortune from the late Josiah Samp-
son, Connecticut merchant.
Miss Elise Hurst, vivacious little
brunette who is soon to make her debut,

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Arson Phelps
Stokes, is one Of the richest girls in town
Miss Fair has some 81, 1000, 900, and is
likely to come in for as much more later
on. She is living now with her sister,
Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, and they will not
be about this winter, as they are in
mourning for their mother Next sum-

will live in the Bancroft house, recent

'No," said the bookseller. lit isn't
children's fingers that soil our books.
The volumes through which they look
are, for the most part, cheap. 1t is the
ladies, elegantly dressed, who wear
gloves, who do III, the greatest damage.
They look through our high priced books
with their gloves on, and gloves soil the
pages and often render volume unsal-
able. If ladies would take off their
gloves when they look through book

Regarding the work Of counting ON
the electrical machines, punching and
tabulating the punched cards, the super
intendent Of census said:
"If | were to undertake this work
again, having had the experience have
had. should have no one but women on
any of these three machines | have
found steadily from the beginning that
women did more work and that more &C.
curately than men. suppose their su-
perior delicacy of touch and alertness of
vision are largely the cause of it, but
have also found women more conscien-
tious. If an enumerator writes poorly
man is more apt to guess at his an
swers and punch accordingly. A woman,
| have found, will in the greater num-
Der of cases take pains to decipher poor
writing and record the fact correctly"
The head of the pauperism and crime
division when organizing his force made
a request for only women clerks. The
request was of course granted. It is of
interest to know that the entire census
report on the momentous subject of the
growth of these two evils is compiled
and tahulated by women under the d.
rection of the only two men in that
division
A few women are heads of sections,
and one woman has been until very re-
Gently an assistant chief of a division.
Three women have performed valued
services as special agents collecting in
formation concerning the Indians and
fisheries, aside from those in the farms,
homes and mortgages divisions.

80 generations will hear of
5hieiiy as the viceroy who had the dis
hheuished honor of proclaiming Victoria
1 empress of India
No more picturesque task ever fell to the
lot of man, and that Lord -stton performed
it with dignity and tact showed that he
was other than dreamer and greater than
a mere rhyme maker" as his enemies
termed him. On that memorable occasion
he displayed himself as man of affairs
and competent ruler of POO, 900 900 people.
1t was in 1876 that Disraeli put through
the measure which attached new title tc
those already worn by the queen of Great
Britain, and at about the same time he sent
his friend and fellow author across the
seas to fill the place of governor general Of
India AS they parted the premier said
"Lytton, you are going to India to carry
out policy which a strong party in this
country will oppose. You will be much
attacked by the papers. Never answer
them. Whatever you do. remember that

playwright sailed away. Hardly warm in

tiers treating their servants in a manner in
which they would not treat men of their
own raee-a practice all the more cowardly
because the servants are unable to retaliate
and have the strongest claims for forbear-
ance."
This protest against the white mans
right created an animosity that hoped to
satisfy itself when the pageant of Jan. 1,
1877, occurred. It was gleefuliy anticipated
that Lytton would offend the native rulers
in some point of etiquette on that day.
But he didn't When he repaired to the
wide plain that lies beneath the walls of
ancient Delhi and set up the viceregal
throne, he proved himself the worthy rep
resentative of a conquering race
With exact and minute formality he
greeted the princes and potentates whose
ancestors had ruled in that wonderful land
when Britain was barbarian. No courtesy
was inadequate and none was exaggerated
Each dignitary received the exact measure
of recognition due his rank, and no blum
der marked the splendid ceremonial with
which Victoria was proclaimed empress of

oriental wealth. With each king or lord

retainers. Silk and pearls and diamonds
shimmered or shone on every hand
Horses, elephants and camels, as well rs
men, bore costly trappings, and the feast

hour have had no rival in the records of
