Miss Benedict is one of New York soci
ety's petted and distinguished bellies. When
she sailed with her father on the Fuerst
Bismarck recently for a trip abroad. the
many superb baskets of flowers sent to her
on the steamer made the long saloon look
RS if it were decorated for bridal. One OF
the prettiest baskets bore the card of Mrs
CSover Cleveland, whose guest at the White
House Miss Benedict had been for some
time, and with whom she is on terms of the
most intimate friendship
President Cleveland's intimacy with Miss
Benedict's father, E. G. Benedict, Wall
street millionaire, has often been brought
to the attention of the public. 1t will be
remembered that it was aboard Mr.. Bene
diets yacht, the Oneida, that the alleged
surgical operation on the presidents mouth
was performed last summer and that Mr.
Clefeland has made frequent trips on the
yacht to his summer retreat at Buzzard's
bay and elsewhere in Mr.. Benedict's com.
pany. 1t has been said that with the ex-
ception OF Secretary Lamont the president
has no more intimate friend and both he
and Mrs. Cleveland are frequent guests at
the Benedict mansion at Greenwich, Conn,
and at the brokers' town house in New
York.
The president and Mr. Benedict were
made acquainted with each other by 10.
seph Jefferson, the famous actor, and the
identity of their tastes for fishing and fish
ing excursions soon established a strong
bond of sympathy between them. That a
fast friendship should have been developed
between Mrs. Cleveland and Mr.. Benedict's
daughter is therefore not at all to be won
dered at.
1t is predicted that Miss Benedict will
create something of a sensation in the best
social circles abroad and her personal at
fractions would certainly furnish warrant
for the prediction.

in other sports as well as baseball, and as
he still maintains lively interest in such
manly exercises the undergraduates argue
that college athletics will receive due en-

Intellectual accomplishments will not be
neglected, however, If one may judge from

Brunswick Theological seminary he entered
the Presbyterian ministry in 1878, locating

called to the Fourth Presbyterian church
at Albany and has been very successful in
that pastorate. In 1886 he received the de-
gree of ID. ID.

A good story is told in Washington Of
Lemuel Ely Quigg, who was elected to CON
gress from IA New York city district the
other day to succeed John r Fellows, re-
signed. In 1890, when Thomas II. Carter
was secretary of the Republican congress
sional committee, Mr.. Quigg was his right
hand man. In September Mr.. Carter left
for Montana to run for congress, and Quigg
was left in charge. A few weeks later a
handsome woman appeared at the Wash
ington headquarters aud called for Mr..
Carter. She seemed greatly distressed by
the news of his absence and hesitatingly
confessed that Senator Power of Montana
had left his Republican mailing list at her
mothers boarding house, and that it had
been lost. Mr.. Carter is a friend of NAM
mas" she said, land if he were here he
would let us have his list, so that we could
copy it and send that to Senator Power"
Mr.. Quigg chivalrously consoled the dis
tressed beauty and gave her the desired
copy of Mr.. Carriers list. 1t transpired
that the list mysteriously fell into the
hands of the wife of William Writ Dick
son, the Democratic candidate opposed to
Carter, who happened to be in Washing
ton at the time, and she employed a score
of clerks to mail Democratic campaign doc
uments to Carriers Republican coustitu-
ents. Mr., Carter was beaten in the cleo
ton, and it is said that he entertains high
admiration for the political abilities OF Mrs
Dickson.

IN SLAVERY DAYS.

From the Cornhin Magazine.
There is curious Old World Gazette
that tells us of his life at Calcutta and

of ''khitmudgar and cook" our subal-

Luckless lad and basely defrauded

1t was but natural that the
subaltern should follow where his
superior officers led the way, and those
higher in the service kept not one but
several slaves to do their bidding.

years later the East India company had
recognized that slavery was a blot on
our social system, and issued notice
that anyone found dealing in this ''de-

ever, seems rather to apply to those
who were exporting slaves than to
those who kept them for their own use.
