ers and patrons must look for an appre-
citation of their difficulties with the tariff.
Heretofore the complaint has been that
congress has lacked a man interested
enough to become champion of Ameri-
can artists
Thus it is that the senator has the sa-
loon element and its tough" characters
looking up to him on one side and the
dliletante and refined are worshlpers be-

THE UNCoNFIRMED ONE.
Mr.. Hornbl0wer. the gentleman who
would now be a confirmed Justice of the
supreme court Of the United States. but
for Senate delay brought about by David
b. Hill, goes about his affairs in New
York quietly and unconcernedly, but it
seems certain that his treatment has
panied him. He has not said So but the
fact is accepted among all who know this
quiet, gentle lawyer. There is a move
ment afoot at present to bring the Horn
blower case forward in man
ner that may not be con-
sonant with 1.-THE courtesy of the Senate. :"
Mr.. Hills assertion that those men who
Loyalty supported the state democra tic
ticket will be confirmed is taken to mean
that Judge Hornblower shall be punished
for his course against Maynard. How
ever, it is pretty nearly certain that

an attempt has been made to show that
he was improperly connected with public
litigation some years ago. This attempt
failed entirely, but the result was TO
anger Hill very much when he was made
aware that the nominees friends knew
all about these efforts.
There must exist some misapprGhension
with reference to the alleged intimacy Of
Maynard andoE1ornblower. The two we've

by that hackneved word, strained "
THE MUCH FINANCED CITY.
There is an unpleasant runnor in circu-
lation affecting the city's credit as the
result of the change impending in the
controllers Office. Ashbel p Fitch as
sumes office on the first of the year. Theo-
dOre w. Myers retiring. Then Tammauy
men will be in complete possession of the
municipal government of New York This
is not a pleasant thing for city bondhold-
ers, who, heretofore, have always found
treasury balance to pay them
their interest. Now there are
TO be very large expenditures,
with no one to oversee them but Tam
many men. The prospect of such state
of affairs has caused some uneasiness
among those whose investments are in
the city's bonds, especially as it is stated
that the holders of New Yorl1's securi-
ties are not TO be permitted to q''boss the
city as Controller Myers is charged
with having allowed them to do.
Just what the new expenditures are no
one seems to know, although there has
been talk of boulevards, speedways and
dock improvements. The amount, how
ever, runs into the millions, and thou
sands of men will have to be employed
The latter consideration is declared to be
the paramount one.
One thing is certain-more red tape is
essential IN extracting a sum of money
from the New York city treasury than
would be required in even the most elab-
crate OF institutions, public or private

New York, Dec. 9.-Joseph's coat oil

mSodiste. Even the number of the mate

fuzzy equaled by many street dress of

stamp of approval thereon, when To- be-

its disapproval, additionally, by the sober
garb which it Immediately proceeded to
adopt. So that all the world was sobered
for a time, and went about in mourning
robes One saw black everywhere, fHC m

THE CONSOLIDATION MAYOR.
II New York city and Brooklyn are not
! consolidated sooner thsn most citszens an
| ticipate, it will not be on account of lack
of enthusiasm in the latter CITY. There is
to be an organized effort on both sides of
! the big bridge and the influences are
| unusually favorable this year. Mayor
elect Schieren of Brooklyn, however has
not yet openly committed himself The
merging of the municipalities clus-
tering about New York city
to the latter would have
an important national effect. It would
make the United States outrank France
and Germany as a metropolitan power.
In diplomacy, especially countries are
graded according to the size of their chief
cities. Consolidation would, moreover,
add to the prosperity of the country at
large, although it would mean q great de-
crease in public expenditure and hence a
loss of revenue TO numerous city officials.
When the new Brooklyn administration
IS Installed in power it is pretty certain
that determined effects will be made to
secure the greater New York The new
legislature is, moreover, friendly. When
consolidation is finally effected, the re-
prOach cast at Brooklynites that when
away from their own city on a tour they
register at hotels as from New York will
then have lost its force.
1t will, as matter of course, be ire
mendous thing to be mayor of the greater
Gotham. That parsonage will be one of
the most important official powers in the
land, outranking the. governor of the
state.
THE RICH BENEVOLENT.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Is about the
busiest woman in New York at present,
for she has the new palace to put in order,
in addition to her regular duties as So
cial leader and dispenser of charity. This
lady does not allow her husbands wealth
to be spent eXtravagantly. She can drive
bargain very WELL as many New York
tradesmen have learned to their
cost. The large sums given
by her for benevolent purpose
have led to an impression that she is free
with her money, or rather her husband s
money. This impression is erroneous.
The children of Cornelius Vanderbilt have
very little money spent upon them con
sidering their station. The more youth
full ones take their outing in Central park
more or less regularly, and romp about in
clothes not bit more costly than those
worn by the sons and daughters Of we'll
TODD business men.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt is Just now
being much besieged by the friends of
those who fear they may not be invited to
the house warming next year This affair
may not come off after all, owing to the
eNigencies Of Vanderbilt mourning, but at
present II seems that the lately furnished
palace will be the scene of some such
gathering. To be asked to the house will
be by no means certificate of socia
standing IN New York, but it will NEAR

bits considers the invitee a somebody

SHOT IN BOTH HANDS.
A Mysterious Case Now at Polic,
Headquarters.
From the Jacksonville CFla.) Times.

From the Jacksonville CFla.) Times.
In the city jaH is a negro named Stew
ard Shaw with a pistol shot wound in
each hand
As the train from Savannah rolled into
the depot little after midnight Sasur-
day, 1t was found that the sleeper had d
guest not exactly set down on the bills
This was a negro who had taken up his
quarters in the compartment at the end
OF the car and held on to the door knob
like grim death when an attempt was
made to get in.
IL was supposed that he was some thief
who had got into the car for the purpose
OF robbery and three or four persons made
strenuous efforts to rOut him out. The.
door was pulled slightly open, pistol
presented and the negro was shot in the
right hand. He then grabbed the knob
with the other hand and was shot in that
also, when he dashed through plate-glass
window ana disappeared in the darkness.
About 1880 o'clock Sunday morning a
negro accompanied by a cOlOred woman
went to DR. II. H. Deans office on West
Forsyth street and asked to have the
wounds in his hands dressed. He told a
rambling story about having left his wife
and the children at Savannah while he
started for a turpeutine still on the
Brunswick and Western railroad. Ar
irving at WaycrOss he got OF the train
and saw lot of men standing around who
pointed at him and said that was
the man" He started to walk to another
station when the men said Better catch
him now.' He started back, but again
started out for the station to walk, having
been told by some person that he
had better if he did not want the
men to catch him. At the station he got
on the train and rode to Jacksonville,
when the men, who he said were the
same as those of Waycross. found him in
the closet and shot at him, hitting him in
the hand. He put up the other hand and
they shot that. He then jumped through
the window and made his way to a res
taurant run by the woman, who took him
TO the Doctors. She took him to DR.
Sollace Mitchell, who was busy with
other patients, and sent him to Dr.
Dean.
DR.. Dean told the man not TO be afraid,
but 10 tell his story which was as above.
The doctor dressed his wounds. and while
doing so noticed that the negro kept lOol.-
ing out Of the window, and when asked
what was the matter he pointed tbzcugh
the window at some men who stood ON
the corner of Forsyth and Hogan
streets, and said they were thG men
who was hunting him down. HI was
detained until policeman took him in
charge. He says that his home is at
Howell Station, Marion county, South
Carolina.
1t could not be learned who fired the
SHOTS at him, but it is said that he got on
the train at WaycrOss and told the porter
OF the car that a lot of men were after
him.

trouble With Her Palace.
Copyright 1881
New York, Dec. 9.-To such an extent
has the undue use of intoxican.s been
carried among the ultra fashionable set
of women in New York society that the
spectacle OF Gladly of high social stand
ing under the influence of liquor would
not really attract an extraordinary
amount of notice in her Immediate circle.
Every man who dimes after the theater
in the more exclusive restaurants has
seen such a sight at least once. But
never, surely, was drunkenness on the
part of female society leader manifested
more extraordinarily than during the
services at an Episcopal church Sunday
or two ago.
1t was during the sermon at morning
celebration, and a preacher of national
reputation occupied the pulpit. The pew
holders of this particular church are
almost all very wealthy. Well up front
sat a widely known New Yorker with his
wife. who is some ten years his junior,
and noted for her social triumphs She
was nOticeably restless during the SER
mon, but not until she burst into a loud
laugh did the congregation become much
alive to the fact, Then the husband was
seen to grasp his wife and endeayor to
carry her out bodily. This she resisted,
and the lady ia the pew ahead came to
his assistance At last the incoherent
one was got out of church, and it was
stated then that hysterlcal attack had
caused all the trouble.
The truth is that the woman was drunk
Despite the early hour, the tipping had
already become too much for her dignity
That family has given up its pew, and is
now away in the country. They are
people of power in both the social and
the financial worlds.
SENATOR MURPHT's VIEW.
New York's state junior senator is, for
some mysterious reason, in very good
standing just now at the white house
Gotham politicians have been afforded
very good evidence recently of the fact.
This cordiality is attributed to desire
ON the administration part to expedite
the confirmation Of New York nominees.
AT any rate, it is impossible to extract
from Mr. Murphy anything but compli-
mentary references to Mr.. Cleveland at
this time
1t seems odd that the senator's eager
interest in art should have escaped
general notice. He is splendid
judge of picture. Not that he profess
SEES to be a cOnnoisseur or buys paintings
unfortunately, but he possesses a
fund of information concerning the old
and the new masters and takes an inter-
est in artists that make him the best in
formed man on these topics in the Senate
IL is to him, If to anybody, that art low
