What a Few Punctures by One of Its Dudes
Discloses.

This is the time of year when the So
ciety writer makes up his list of com
ing debutantes and dwells feelingly on
their youth, beauty and wealth, as if
he-poor fellow-would like to get at
! them himself. l believe there are no
raving beauties about to be launched
this year, but there are plenty of money
and lot of young women of whom it
may be said, ''They are such nice girIsl'
Little Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, who
is dainty and entirely sweet, is, of
course, the heiress par excellence of the
season, and the scramble after her will
be something awful. Indeed nearly all
the New York families of note have
something in the way Of a daughter to
contribute to society. fear that most
of these pretty little girls must be con-
tent with the introduction of a tea, a
cruel and barbarous ceremony, to be
sure, but inexpensive and easily man
aged. None of the debutantes, with ths
exception Of Miss Vanderbilt, has any
chance of coming out ball simply be-
cause none of them lives in big enough
house, and times are not propitious fcI
hiring halls.
Mrs. Coleman Drayton's legal answer
to her husbands complaint is rathsz
unsatisfactory to society. She simply
says she didn't and leaves it an open
question between her own and her hus-
bands veracity. People rather hoped
for something with more spice in it,
more boiling oil, SO to speak. When PEG.
pie who lead society come to grief in di,
vorce courts, people have right to ex-
pect great sensation. To simply say:
You are all wrong. Inever was there
in my life" is not what we have been
expecting. Society holds that Mrs.
Drayton should have named some
haunts said to have been frequented by
her husband and made matters general.
ly unpleasant for him. In its present
shape it doesn't look as if the case
would ever be brought to trial, and
therefore society, which once fawned
upon Mrs. Drayton, is disappointed. It
actually feels as if Mrs Drayton had in
some way done it grievous injustice.

THE FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.
It Occurred In Rome and Took Place In
the Year 500 b. O.

Livy, in his famous book, 1.-THE An
nals," 9, 80, relates in the following
suggestive words the story of a singular
strike which occurred in Rome in the
year 800 B. G. and was probably the
first strike ever known:
That year occurred an event little
worthy of being related, and which /
would pass in silence had itnot appeared
as involving religion. The flute players,
dissatisfied because the latest censors
had forbidden them to take part in the
banquet in Jupiter's temple, according
to the ancient custom, withdrew, every
one of them, to Thur, so that nobody
was left at Rome to play during the sac.
rifces. This incident shocked the reli-
gious sentiment of the senate, and the
senators sent messengers to invite the in
habitants of Thur to make every effort
in order that the players should be re-
stored to the Romans. The Tiburtines,
having promised not to neglect any
thing necessary for that purpose, caused
the flute players to come to the place

to go back to Rome. Seeing that they
could not prevail upon them to do SO,
they employed strategem in keeping
with their character,
On day of festival, under pretext
that music would increase the joy of the
feast, every citizen invited the flute
players individually to his house, and
wine, Of which people of that profession
are usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into a
deep sleep. They were then thrown into
wagons and transported to Rome, They

of the woman who adverttses her serv-

in Truth as the result of a call by pros

she frankly called the torture room.
There is an iron bedstead, on which, she
explained, the victim is extended across
a pillow. On either side are straps in

the victim down, while the arms and
legs are fastened to the four legs of the
beds' by contrivances like handouts.
Gags and pads used to stife the cries Of
the victim were also produced, the pads
being used for the young girls who are
liable to bite their lips under the tor
ture, and thus disfgure themselves per-
manently.
Among the instruments of f1agellation
exhibited by the woman were two cat O.
nine tails, one consisting of thongs Of
leather and the other of knotted cord,
about 16 inches long. There was also a
cat made of leather strap slit into
strips about foot long Birches of Or

being preserved in brine to keep them

The last time Mr. Labouohere ex-

erson's lament, SO we'll expressed by
him in the November number Of that
charming new magazine, The LOCKER
On, at the recent and rapid decadence
of operetta in this country. An ex-
ample of this decadence was exhibited
in this city last week when Della Fox.
an amiable comedienne who. by no
stretch of the Imagination could he
called a singer, appeared with Mr.. JEFF
ferson de Angels, also devoid Of vocal
aptitude, and a number Of other bad
or Indifferent singers in a musicless
burlesque the main redemption Of
which was It's picturesque costumes,
pretty scenery and the acrobatic alb
surdities Of the two comedians. That
this nondescript patchwork Of vaude-
willie and spectacle gave degree Of
pleasure to ears careless Of music and
Indifferent to true humor is not to be
denied: but that It has any elements Of
recommendation to the judicious may
be fatty denied, fact perhaps equally
true Of most of the "stuff" which COM
