But the invitation has again to be re-

Grace do not belong to that ultra FASH
iouab1e set of New Workers who are
called by the grace Of McAIlister the
Four Hundred, they are prominent mem
bers of society, and their home is every
winter the scene of many functions Of
note. Yet they are not at all exclusive

In business Mr.. Grace is systematic

ment." The conduct Of a commercial
enterprise. he holds, must be absolutely

The house of William r. Grace & Co.
invariably declines to subscribe to any
charitable object, no matter how deserv-

is in business. not charity" But with
William r. Grace the man it is quite

stantial sum- A great proportion Of the
money he gives passes through the chart

lie church, notably the St. Vincent dc
Paul society Of which lie is an officer.
His Public Services
Mr.. Grace's services as public official
have been confined to his incumbency
Of the mayoralty for two terms. His
second term began in 1891. when he ran
as the anti-Tammany Democratic candi-
date against Hugh Grant. Tammany, and
Fred Gibbs, Republican, his majority
being -, 600. But he has been active in
politics ever since his entry into the field
in 1880, and readers Of the newspapers
have not forgotten the fact that he headed
the ssantisnapper' movement in the
spring of 1892. which resulted in the de-
feat, for the time at least. of David B.
HilIs aspirations for the presidency, and
no doubt contributed materially to Mr..
Cleveland success.
For some reason, which Mr.. Grace
processes not to understand, he is not at
present persona grata to the adininistra-

since I happened to be at Noyac, which
is on the Little Peconic BAY, and dropped
in on some old friends, who kindly in
vited me t0 remain for the kind Of old
fashioned first class dinner peculiar to
this dear old out Of the way place
Il notice, Sam, that the wild ducks
are pretty plentiful already I said after
had seated myself
DO you call them thick?" replied Sam
with a smile. ssYVh there are not enough
yet to make It worth while going out.
There are just enough for sportsmen who
like to knock around for their health all
day. But down here we don't notice
them until we can gather them I'D has
ketso
How in the world do you manage
thats'
s.WeI, replied Sam, who is the cham
pion duck hunter of Noyac, s.that can
only be done when the ducks are very
thick. 7 have seen them SO thick that
they were standing on the shore three
deep in layers. When they are as thick
as this, we go out at night and fire
gun off, and then the ducks get panic
stricken and fly in every zigzag way you
can think of. Of course they bunk into
each other end lots Of them fall to the
ground dead Then we send the boy out
early IN the morning with basket, and
he gathers them like mushrooms.
I saw the champion hunter was on his
favorita subject. 50 SAID nothing to turn
his thoughts into a different channel

that they would come into the kitchen
and fail asleep in the rocking chair. You
never saw such tame rabbits. They

with smile of pleasure at my puzzled
air. Il simply took old J. Henry Cesar
