Stephen Girard (dicd Dec. 2G, 1880 be-
gan his remarkable trading career with
one object. which he steadily kept in view
all his long life-tho making of money for
the power it conferred. He practiced tho
most rigid personal economy; he resisted
all the allurcments Of pleasures he exacted
the last farthng that was duo him, and he
paid the last farthing that he owed; he
took every advantage which the law al
lowed him in resisting a claim; he used
mon Just so far as they would accomplish
his purpose; he paid his servants no moro
than tho market price; no bad 10 sense
of hospitality, no friend 10 share his house
or his table.
He was devoted to the improvements OF
his adopted city and country; he was a
determined follower of ostcntatious char
itv. No man ever applied to him for a
largo public grant in vain, while the starv-
ing beagar was invariably sent from his
gate lie steadily rose-overy morning be-
fore the lark, and unceasing labor was tho
daily worship of his life; he lett his
monument in the Girard co!lege-that
marble rooted palace for tho education and
protection of the orphan children OF the
poor which stands, the most perfect model
of architecture in tho new world, nigh

THE NEW STEP.
Z Pretty clog Dancer Who Was Af..id
She Might Lose 1t.

There were several good and sufficient
reasons why people should stop and lool;
at her. She was Young and pretty, was as
trim as a whip from top to toes, tho one
being covered with soft brown hat, hay
ing an alpine plume of feathers stuck
launtily at the side, and the others being
covered with snugly fitting shoes, with
low, fiat heels. Yet pretty as the top was
and it was decidedly pretty, with its
loose light hair, blCe eyes and fresh cheeks
1T was tho toes that attracted most at.
tention. She did not seem able to KEEP
them still.
It would be wrong, therefore, to say
that she was standing on Seventeenth
street near Union square, waiting for q
cross town car, but it is no offense against
the pure spirit of journalistic veracity to
say that that is where she was seen.
Soon the bootblacks Longing on the
sidewalk saw her and her tripping feet
and sat down on their little boxes to watch
her or them. But the girl never noticed
her visitors and with her eyes intently
fixed on her feet moved them brisllly this
way and that, two little flips to the left,
two little slides to the right, her lips mean
whilo moving as though she were count
sides, and her whole expression was one OF
seriousness and utter oblivion to her sur
roundingS.
II was not long before the bootblacks
were joined by some men. Then one or
two women halted moment, and soon
there was quite a crowd on the sidewalk
. decent, orderly crowu. Still the girl Sc
riously footed it On tho crossing. Then a
Broadway policeman saw the crowd and
aOycl pondoFously over TO find out what
the matter was. a few shoves and pushes
broke up the audience, and then tho po-
,icomnn stepped up to tho girl and touched
her with Lexowesque gentleness on the
shoulder.
What arc ye afther attractin attention
in the 8trates, miss" he inquired.
The girl stopped footing it and looked
up with establishment into the officer s
face
Was l attracting attention." she in
quired. Indeed I'm very sorry, Mr. OIL
ser; but, you see, I'm studying to be Il
clog dancer, and I've just learned q new
STEP and / was so afraid I'd forget it be-
fore | got home that guess ! must have
been practicing it while ! was waiting for
tho car. And here is the car, and excuse
me "
With that she got into the car, and as ii
progressed Grchaically along one could see
the girls head bend down to watch her
lcct and knew that she was still prGcticiDg

The Washington Womon's Literary So
oiety recently offered prize for the best
answer to tho question, What Kind OF q
man docs woman most adnire5"
Here is the winning answer: The man
must interest by uncommonness, either IN
appearance or manner, or he must have
that indoscribable quality called charm Tic
must know his own mind and steadily
work thereto, even to mastorfnlness.
''He disregards they say and is not one
Of a herd His friends are men, not wom-
en-. He is only once deceived by the same
person. His perhaps hasty temper never
runs to unkindness. He needs sympathy
and solace in n sometimes divine discon-
tent He abi,,es under no failure, but goes
steadily on. His occasional want OF sue
cess only attaches and rivets his deterini-
nation"

ORDER OF TIE GARTER.


The origin of the order OF the Golden
fleece is like that of our own garter
shrouded in mystery, says the London
telegraph Very few modern archac-
olorists attach any crcdencc to the
vulgar tradition, wholly unsupported
by any authority, that, at a court ball
given by Edward III. Il lady. supposed
to be the countess of Salisbury, dropped
her garter, and the king, taking it up,
and observing some of his courticrs to
smile. as though they thought he had
not obtained this favor merely by acci-
dent, exclaimed in loud voice: "ilcni
soft qui NAL y rensc."
There is another opinion which
traces the origin of this order, which.
according to the learned Selden, Eek
cceds in majesty, honor and fame all
the chivalrous orders of the world, to
Richard Occur dc Lion having, upon
the occasion of some warlike eXPedi-
ton during his wars in Palestine,
chosen a leather-thonGed garter as
the distinctive mark of his partisans.
Yet another theory ascribes the foEn-
dation of the order to the fact that Ed
ward, at the battle of Crecy, issued his
garter as signal for battle, which,
proving successful, determined him TO
institute the order in memory Of the
event.
Both these opinions are to certain
extent feasible, and the first is mate
rally fortified by the well-lSnown his
toric fact that, when the Crusaders cap
tured St. Jean d'Acre in a nocturnal
assault, the knights of the Christian
army were ordered to wear strap OF
white leather bound round the leg
under the left knee in order to distin-
Cuish them from the infdels.

Honolulu, August s.-Much pressure
is being brought to cause the legisla-
ture now in session to adopt a joint
resolution instructing the president to
reopen annexation negotiations with
the United States
United States Minister Willis has
filed the claim Of James Durrell, an
American citizen, for t25, 600 damages
against the Hawaiian government dur
ing the revolt Last January. No charge
was made against Durrell at the time,
and he was simply held on suspicion
and was afterward released. Willis
in his letter TO Minister Hatch ON the
subject, points ont that Durrell claims
he had no connection with any conspir-
acy. and he declares that Durrell's
statements establishes in the opinion Of
the president Of the United States, a
prima facie claim for substantial dam
ages. 1t is believed the matter will
result in further International compli.

ian government will pay Durrell moth

Keq u~ss Of the Japanese Government to
witness Them Denied.
New York. August 5-A Herald
dispatch from Washington to the navy
department has refused permission to
the japanese government to have one
OF its officers witness the msneuvers of
the North Atlantic squadron. The re-
quest was preferred by the Japanese
minister some days ago. and he has just
received a reply containing the refusal.
The department authorities state in
this communication that the maneuvers
will be extremely simple in character
and will be simply preliminary to
others to be held in the future
Japan is not the only nation inter.
ested in the coming naval maneuvers
OF the North Atlantic squadron. Other
nations have determined that they
would like TO have ALI officer witness
them. but none has gone to the length
which Japan took. Besides informing
the japanese government Of their ne.
fusal in this connection, it is under.
stood the reply says they will be glad
to have a Japanese officer witness the
msneuvers of our squadron when our
navy Is more familiar with drills, ex.
ercises, etc. The vessels will leave
about August for Newport. where
they will remain for a short time, and
then go to Portland to attend fair to
he held there. Great interest is being
manifested in the maneuvers, and con.
siderable benefit is expected to result.

Another Federal investigation.

San Francisco, August 5. - The
Chronicle publishes an article in regard
to alleged frauds In the railway ser.
vice on the Pacific coast which il SAYS
promise to lead to ono Of the most far.
reaching federal investigations ever
held here.
1t is alleged by Railway Postal Clerk
4. s. Clover. and others, that the
United States mails were fraudently
stuffed. with the advice and consent of
superintendent Samuel Flint. Of the
eighth division Of the railway service,
during the month Of June, 1894, in or.
der that the weights carried during
that month, which formed the basis for
estimating the compensation to be paid
the railroads for the next four years,
might appear unduly large. Railway
postal clerks Of long standing say there
are great opportunities for stuffing the
cars in such way as to rob the gov.
eminent Of millions each year. The
Chronicle says that this local scandal
opens up wide field for congressional
investigation.
