and Sunday school work. To Offset this
recent rumor is the recent assertion of
Mrs. John ID. Rockefeller that neither of
her two unmarried daughters is en-
gagged to be married. But as such an as
sertion is made as a matter of course
with every newly announced engagement
of prominent young lady, it Loes not
count for much.
The Rockefeller young ladies, it is in
teresting TO note, are not the great heir
esses they are reputed to be- They will
not inherit twentieth, probably not a
fiftieth, part of the immense fortune of
their father. He has already made this
announcement to them, and both the
young ladies heartily concur in it. They
agree with their father that such an
enormous fortune is absolutely useless to
them, and this family arrangement is
well understood in the Rockefeller circle.
The millions are TO 90 to a few great in
situations, and it is even stated that the
Croesus has in mind the endowment of a
national benefaction, although this latter
assertion is too indefinite to mean much
But one thing is certain. The man who
marries Miss Rockefeller or her sister
will get no riches with her other than the
blessing of having won so attractive a
young lady. DAVID WEcHsLER.

political lieutenants lost no time in meet
ing this attack. They at once started to
boom" him for governor, and succeeded
in delaying the tariff bill through their
influence in the Senate. This was done
as show of strength for the Presidents
benefit, and it need hardly be stated that
Senators German, Brice, Hill and even
Cameron were not slow in taking ad-
vantage of an opportunity to further
their peculiar ends.
Now, the one new thing in all this is the
fact that Mr. Whitney's followers were
instrumental in delaying the tariff bill.
In the House 1t is an open secret that Mr.
Whitney and Mr.. Havemeyer have pretty
much the same coterie of schemes to
carry out their aims. Senator Cameron,
in the Senate, is said to be very much in
the confidence OF both Whitney and
Havemeyer, and to be very friendly with
the democratic interests generally. HIS
personal sympathies are more with demo-
cratic senators than with republican ones.
The Standard Oil Company being a
factor in the situation unknown to most
onlookers. it seemed essential that Mr.
Whitney should return from Europe and
help straighten matters out This, it
seemed, he could easily have done, and
the long, irritating delay, which, even to
this day, has never been clearly eX-
planned, would have been avoided. Nor
can it be asserted that no intimation that
his presence.was vital has been made to
Mr. Whitney. On the contrary, he was
made aware in no uncertain way that if
he returned he could play the role of the
savior of his party. Only he could settle
the claims of the two great trusts by
making them cease an unSeemly strife.
Both the Havemeyers and the Rockefel-
lers obey Whitney's slightest behest.
But for some reason Mr.. Whitney would
not return. Instead, he caused the plain
est announcement to be made that his
tour abroad had been interrupted by ill
ness in his family, and that he was de-
tanned in London by the state of his
daughters health.
Yet the administration waited Still
there was no sign. The fight went on.
The weary delay continued, disgusting
the country, and in desperation Mr. Cleve-
land was compelled to write his famous
letter to Chairman Wilson. And there
was one thing in that letter which has
yet to be fully appreciated by the country
When Mr.. Cleveland mentioned trusts
and their peculiar methods, it was sup
posed he had sugar in mind. But the
few who have known the details given
above saw that Mr. Cleveland was speak
ing of the Standard Oil Company, and
giving the pIainest notice to Mr.. Whitney
that he must either give up his trust or
his party. 1t is now nothing more nor
less than a severe breach between Mr..
Whitney and the President.
Some democrats are wondering how it
will end.

New York, Aug. 1s.-Gaiety at the re-
sorts grows with the summer. Now
that the nights and great many of the
days are so delightfully."- cool, all the So
ciety leaderd are melted TO fresh efforts
and novel ideas. An innovation which
finds great favor among the young men
at Asbury is the treat that is given by
the young women. After the dance or
garden party in the early evening, there
is walk to pretty resort where cream
and ice abound and here the young men
are lavishly treated, while the maidens
stand the expense. The men only wish
it would happen oftener than it does.

A black or white boa is worn over.
A new and severe costume is creating
considerable attention at a popular re-
sort. Its wearer has not only perfect
figure, but perfect walk; and her straight
skirt and straight jacket, all in faultless
black, are more striking than the gay
costumes that walk near. The material
is of finest cloth. with nothing to note re-

Another form which the devil appears

New York, Aug. lS.-The phenomenon
of the time in New York is the political
weakness of William c. Whitney. This
does not mean that his power is gone-he
could even secure the gubernatorial nom
ination, but it would require great effort
by any means. But there have Just
come to light circumstances, yet TO be
made public, which promise to be as en-
barrassing to MIR. Whitney as circum-
stances can be. As is well known Mr..
Whitney and Mr.. Cleveland, once warm
friends, were reputed subsequently to be
triAe estranged. This estrangement
was the result of Mr.. Whitneys efforts
