New York. Feb. 9.-The Rockefeller
girls. Miss Alta and Miss Edith. are at
tracing considerable attention on their
tour in the Mediterranean. They have
been abroad some weeks now. and pri-
Sate letters show that so far the trip
has been very successful in restoring
Miss Atlas somewhat Impaired health.
The interesting pair are not accompanied
by their parents. but have stopped at
| Egypt, where they We're for al least
a week. the bellies Of the American col
ony in Cairo. The tour is interesting as
marking a decided dearture from the
exclusive nature of the bringing up of
/ these young women. When they return
and they will be back in time for the
post lenten season in New York. the
somewhat sombre brick mansion of John
d. Rockefeller will for the first time be
thrown open to society Tt is the inten-
ton Of the Roekefellers 10 follow the
example of the Gouids and open the por-
tails of the plutocratic palaces with the
never failing golden KEY. This circum-
stance will be a source Of surprise to
the many society people who have Won
dered why it is that the family OF the
oil magnate should be so retiring.
Miss Alta, it seems, is the cause of
! this radical alteration Of the family poll
! icy. Her mother is SO strict that she
has dubious feelings respecting the pro-
! the few great heiresses who have never
attended such a function. Hence the an
nouncement soon to be made that the
Rockefellers will give grand ball must
cause considerable comment. The family
VIII even go in for liVeried foOtmen and
coachmen, and Mrs. Rockefeller herself
has planned a series of dinners for the
spring season, the first of them 10 be
given on the Saturday following Easter.
1t is understood that the Whitneys will
take the family under their protection,
so far a $ concerns their social destnies.
There seems to be no doubt that the
/ Rockefellers will be very cordially re-
ceived 10y society generally.
New York has been told so often that
great labor unions are on the eve of
/ organization that very little interest
Is being taken in the statement that
| reorganization of labor union is
now being arranged in the metrop-
oils The idea is the familiar one
Of bringing all the orders under a single
management with a president and CEN
tralzed authority. In fact the scheme is
to follow the federal plan of organization.
Only recently, however, mas much serious
attention being paid the movement ANA
this attention Is the result Of a positive
/ assertion that Gov. Altgeld OF Illinois.
| conditionally accepted the presidency OF
the coming union 1t viii not be a per-
! .,sseraufgaffpr until aftQr aNpirn
| ton of his term of office and as the
leaders of the concern have received
promise of the cordial support of the
American Federation of Labor and the
knights and as considerable sums OF
morey are pledged already, 1t is not unlike
~ that something will come Of it,
! 1t is proposed to take control Of every
thing having even indirect reference TO
the interests Of labor The new union
will in fact, be organized on military
lines with commanders and leutenants,
and for the sake Of giving greater power
to the body. as a whole, the strlctest mill
itary discipline is to be enforced 1t is
said that James r. Sovereign, John Nc
Bride, Samuel Gompers and other equally
eminent labor leaders have endorsed the
new universal. A decided departure from
the principle of these affairs is the admis-
sion OF women to the organization. Wo-
men, as will be remembered, have taken
a prominent part in the recent strikes in
Brooklyn. The plan Of the wives and
daughters of the strikers to form mill
tary company in Brooklyn with all
the military accoutrements of such
/ concerns has been already par
italy carried out. There may be some
difficulty in procuring "A charter, as the
law does not contemplate the admission
of Independent military bodies to the mill
tia establishment. The women do not,
however. contemplate this. Their idea is
TO be able to take the field in opposition to
the militia when the latter are ina arms
against their fathers, husbands and
brothers.
1t would be dificult to convey any idea
Of the bitterness which the feeling Of class
hatred has assumed in the metropolitan
district at this time. In no other part of
the world. probably. can class be found
solidly arrayed against class under the
inspiration Of deep, invincible
hatred, quite the degree now wit
messed in the region included in the
greater New York. This phenomenon has
already attracted attention from foreign
observers, but 1t has intensified consid-
erably in view Of recent events
A great deal of comment has been
aroused in New York by assertions that
Mr.. Cleveland viii under no circum-
stances permit the use of his name fer
the presidential nomination next year.
no Utterance himself on the subject and
the question arises how those who thus
speak for the President happen to get
their information. But It has long been
an open secret IN the Empire state that
the President intends to give up politics
altogether, when his present term ex-
pires, and the reasons are likewise known.
Senator Hill is partly acquainted with
the reason, for one, and these reasons,
1t may be added are Of a purely personal
nature. Another man who knows thor
oughly why the President does not wish
any more Of the cares of Office after 1897,
is Mr.. Whitney, and still another is Mr..
Lamont.
First Of all, there are family consider
atoms. Mrs. Cleveland will under no
circumstances consent 10 be the first lady
of the land when the present administra-
tion ends and she has arranged that It
shall end in 1897. Mr.. Cleveland and his
wife have no family life at all. Their chill
dren cannot be educated under their eye
and very soon they will be of an age when
their education must seriously begin. IN
the next place Mr.. Cleveland finds the
