The Chanler Girls,

Miss Aida Chanler, the last young
woman to be reported engaged to George
Vanderbilt, belongs to the Chanler fam
lily, who are prominent not only because
of their social position and wealth, but
on account of their strong individuai-
ty. Miss Chanler is a sister-in- law of
Amelie Rives, her Oldest brother being
Armstrong Chanler.
There are three Chanler girls, each
with pronounced ideas and views of
her own. Miss Margaret Chanler is de-
voted to woman's rights and Miss Bes-
sic Chanler to art, but at the same time
is fond of society. The youngest of the
family is Miss Aida, whose hobby is
society.
She is tall, handsome brunette, who
is fond of all sorts of sport, and girl
who will undoubtedly make brilliant

WEBSTER'S SMALL FEES.

Ihe Great Lawyers Income Was Unusual
ly Limited Even For His Day.
One of our correspondents has been SO
lucky as to fall in with little leather
covered book, like those of bank deposit
ors, which contains Daniel Webster 5
autograph record of his legal receipts.
This chronicle fills % pages and extends
a little more than from 1888 to 1886 in
elusive. The first entry, dated Septem-
Der in the former year, is of $50, and
kle second of $50, for retaining on the
New Hampshire circuit. The first fee of
81. 900 was paid in May, 1884, by a Mr.
Badger. Services regarding Cilley's will
commanded $500. The total amount for
the first year was footed up as $13, 40,
with the remark, Sept. %, 1884, thus
done and concluded. :"
A similar summing up appears at the
close of each other year. The second
total is $15, 1873. "A; the third is $21,
1893 The first entry of So, 900 was in
1885, March 7; the first of So, 900 Dec
z in tho same year The last payment
was in respect to Florida land. The
largest single honorarium was 81, 500.
In February of the fourth year So, COO is
set down as bestowed in a case of Trinity
church, New York.
In turning over this record leading
metropolitan and even provincial law
yers are astonished that Webster, al
though 20 years in Boston, SO under
valued his services. He learned better
at last. When Robert G.. Winthrop
looked at the earliest date, he said,
"That's just the time that was ending
my studies in Webster office, and the
chirography led him to add that Web
ster never wrote firm hand. Nobody
surveyed the relic with more interest
than DR.. O. W. Holmes. Among other
things he said: Had the influx been
tenfold, Webster's purse would have re-
manned empty still. Had its capacity
received like the sea, whatever entered
there would have run off like water
from the back of a duck. New York

FIVE CONSONANTS IN A ROW.
A Polish Name That Sounds a Good Deal
Like Two SneeZes.

Like Two SneeZes.
A subscriber to the Milwaukee Sen
tinel is curious to know the correct pro-
nunciation of the Polish name Brzczen-
ski. He came across it in an account of
an affray which took place on Sobieski
street, that city, and evinced desire
to master it's pronunciation. On investi-
cation it was found that the name, if
really spelled as indicated, must be
pronounced Bsh-tchinski, the ''rz'' be-
ing sounded about as the English Ssh, y
and the "cz'' as the ''tch' in Glitch
ing"
Some of the Poles in Milwaukee are
in favor of a reform in the spelling of
their names. AS matter Of fact, the let
tiers in the Polish alphabet do not repre-
sent the same sounds as the letters in
the Latin or English alphabet For in
stance, the Polish W is equivalent to the
English V, and the sometimes assumes
the sound of sh, the that of the Eng
ish in azure. The Polish tongue con-
tains a great many more sounds than
the old Latin did, and in order to ex-
press the additional sounds in Latin
characters it was found necessary to
combine different consonants. The re-
suit is that a person familiar only with
the English language regards the Polish
names as jawbreakers and despairs over
their pronunciation.
A reform in the spelling of Polish
names similar to the reform adopted by
Nine. Modjeska in the spelling of her
name would be great relief to hun
dreds of people. Modjeska's name in
Polish is spelled Modrzejewska, in a
manner in which no Englishman Or
American living would be able to pro-
nounce it. Chervinski would sound the
same way as Czerwinski, only everybody
would be able to read it.

THE AMERICAN WORKINGMAN.
How He Appears Through the Spectacles
of nj, Paul BOurpet

How He Appears Through the Spectacles
of nj. Paul Bourget.
Behind the capitalist, be he ever so
intelligent, SO active SO enterprising
there is the working man, says Paul
Bourget, in his book on travel in Amer
lea IN the Boston Herald. Given that
America is par excellence a democracy,
it is that parsonage which constitutes
its fundamental basis. If the civiliza-
ton of that country is to change again,
ss it SO often gives the impression, it is
through the workingman that it will
change, as France of 1889, whose ma
terial life rested on the peasant, chang
ed through the peasant. From time to
time formidable strikes, which every
where else would be called civil wars
Eeem to foretell one of those class du-
els, the issue of which is never doubt
full. The more miserable, ever since the
world has been the world, have always
beaten the more happy, when it has
come to a matter of battle.
However, at other times and outside
of these questions of strikes you may
talk to some of these laborers, you find
them so evidently happy i'll their work,
executing it so well, with such an in
dependence of free citizens on their
rough features They SO visibly have
the calm of energy amid the rising and
falling of the piston rods, the whistling
of the leather bands, the snorting of the
steam, the whirling of the flywheels.
The expenditure of personal force is for
them so intelligently applied, saved by
mechanical aid You know from other
sources that wages are so high, 81. so
per day-$2! You know with what in
surance societies its activity is sur
rounded. They are so numerous, so COM
plete, SO ready to sustain the working
man and to sustain his family under all
circumstances, from the days of stop
page even unto death.
Thanks to one of these societies, he
has his own house. Thanks to the town
and to foundations of all kinds, the ed
ucation of his children is assured. The
military service, that monstrous abuse
of old Europe, has been spared to him
and to his sons You return to the idea
which has Influenced SO many emigrants
to leave everything and to come here
that America is the paradise Of the
workingman. How can you reconcile
two points Of view, founded the one and
the other upon indisputable facts and
so radically contradictory?

PASSING OF THE BOOT.
Disuse OF Foot Gear Once Popular East
and West.

Disuse OF Foot Gear Once Popular East
and West.
The diminished use of boots is a mat
ter of concern to the manufacturers Of
them and to the producers of heavy
leather and heavy calfskins. Twenty
years ago the calf boot industry was a
leading one in New England. Whole
towns were studded with factories which
produced cali boots exclusively. For a
decade the sale has been gradually fall
ing off, and today it is Of hardly any
Importance. A few manufacturers Of
shoes include boots as a speciality, but
the demand is too light to amount to
much. When calf boots were more il
vogue, manufacturers consulted the par
tialities of the cowboys, to whom price
was a secondary consideration. The
legs were frequently corded with silk
stitching The star and crescent and
other fanciful Communications were in
laid on the legs of the boots. There
were high heels, and boots were striking
specimens OF mechanical art. The soles
were inlaid with copper, zinc and brass
nails. The cowboys no longer pay SO
for pair Of boots. They want substance
instead of show. But they were not the
only wearers of calf boots. They We're
extensively worn. Many men prefer
them today, though the number is grow
ing less. The old fashioned stoga boots
were formerly sold in large quantities.
They are well nigh obsolete. There fol
lowed demand for lighter and more
stylish article. A kip boot of finer tex
oh aC17ol ina
pearance to the best calf boot, but this,
too, has fallen somewhat into disuse,
and the sales this season are scarcely
over one-half the usual amount. Where
there were 20 factories producing boots
exclusively there is now not one Even
the farmers are using heavy shoes in
stead of boots, and if it becomes a ne
oessity to wear long legged boots they
buy rubber. Shoe and Leather Report

His Startling Prediction About Napoleon
III Came True.
The Due de Morny, Napoleon s mouth
piece, actually wrote these truly infa
nous words: eff you arrest Victor
Hugo, do what you will with him. -
1t was soon after this, when Napoleon,
wading through blood, trampling upon
women and children, prosecuting and
silencing ali that was best in France,
confirming his throne by bribery, cor
ruption, imprisonment, Punishment and
wholesale murder-it was at such
moment, this adventurer having got
himself accepted by the courts of Europe
as the ruler of the French, that Victor
Hugo hurled against the ''Man of De-
cember" these truly appalling but pro-
phetic words:
"Let us not Stay this man. Let US
keep him alive A superb punishment!
Oh, if one day he might pass along the
highway naked, bowed down, trembling
as the grass trembles at the wind, under
the execration of the whole human race!
