Philosophy tn the Salons.

The salons, which had been the cen ters of intellectual life since the days of Louis XIV, took the fever seriously. They were seized with a passion for philosophy, for philanthropy, for all the whims which were taking shape in the storm-laden air of those days be- fore the flood. They embraced the deism of Voltaire, the materialism of Diderot and d'Holbach, the pure athe- ism of Helvetius; or they dreamed with Rousseau and St. Pierre of renovated humanity yielding to every impulse of nature, and by that means returning to its pristine innocence. It is not only Wnlpole who grumbles that the French were no longer the same people, that they had lost their vivacity and were forever discussing. "They talk philos- ophy at balls," says Segur again, land moral science in boudoirs. These peo- pie of quality, "who know everything without the trouble oflearning," estab- lished clubs for the study of natural science; they attended the most learned discussions at the academies; one mar quise goes to see dissections performed; another dissects with her own hands, Macmillan's Magazine.

To stop Q Runaway Hat.

II was much impressed" says MT. Goslington to a New York Sun man, "by something that saw in the street this morning, the manner in which a man stopped his hat, which was blowing away. It Is well known that under such circumstances hat often develops great eccentricity of move ment; when you stoop down to put your hand on it as you run it is not there. But this man ran past and just to leeward of his hat and stopped it as 1t rolled toward him."

ward married the man in whom she had been interested since the early age of ten, when they were boy and girl together. Her marriage has proved more than happy one, her home life most felicitous. MT. Foster has filled score of honorable positions, from field officer in the rebellion to secretary of state under President Harrison, and his present delicate mission of trust, as peacemaker between China and Japan is the outgrowth of life of upright ness, experience and diplomatic study.
 Both of tbeir daughters are married and have little children of their own, the elder to Rev. Allan M. Dulles, the younger to MT. Robert Lansing. They are attractive young ladies, as winning and unassuming in manner as their mother.
 Because of her long and varied ex- perience in foreign lands, where she accompanied her husband on his official missions, Mrs. Foster has added many accomplishments to her natural gifts and previous cultivation. In Mexico, Spain, Russia and other realms she mastered the language of the country, went among the people to study their life and habits, and wrote many valu- able papers on the results of her re- search. Everywhere she received, with her husband, marked attention from royalty and nobility alike. In Spain she entered the court circles of the young Alphonse XII, while at St. Petersburg the czar and czarina treated her with especial favor. During her stay in that city occurred the czar's as- sassination. She spent part of her z time in translating Russian fiction into 2 her own tongue. In her recent pleas- ure trip around the world, in company ' with MT. Foster, India was the spot which most charmed her, filled as it is with ancient and historical mosques, tombs and temples.
 z Mrs. Foster is possessed of charm ing personality, and though domestic Fin tastes, and not overmuch given to public life, yet she takes pleasure in i entertaining her friends, and every ' December, with MT. Foster, she gives a series of elaborate functions, for which their palatial residence on 1 street is well fitted.
 ~ Surrounded by luxury, the gentle achatelaine is yet as simple and kindly as her humblest worker, though she bears the stamp of birth and breeding. She is an earnest laborer in the church, charitable to degree, an advocate of the higher education of women, and friendly to all movements that may widen the latter's opportunities for use .fulness, though she smilingly declares that she herself has always had all the
 rights she could wish for.
 With such beauty of character and
 powerful environment, the new presi-
 dent of the society is sure to enlarge it's
 scope and influence. and under her just
 and wise rule even greater future
 opens before it.

All his arrangements with that end in view have been fully matured, but his sudden visit to Cali fornia is understood to have as its object conference with Mrs. Leland Stanford and the representatives of the other great estates involved in the gov ernment suits for the recovery of the Union Pacific liability. Other stories are likewise in circulation to the effect that Huntington is tired of the turmoil of finance and wishes to retire to dig nified case in his old age. He has been taking great interest in social and re- ligious matters lately, thanks to the in- fluence of his daughter. and is honor ary member of a very fashionable so- ciety in New York for the support of vested choirs in poor churches. This is quite new fad for him, but at any rate the old man has been acquiring great popularity in New York recently by his kindly interest in various worthy movements The result of his tour to California will be eagerly awaited.

MRS. JOHN W. FOSTER.
The Now President Of the Daugh-
 ters of the Revolution.
4 Direct Descendant of Line of Revoiu- tionary Heroes on Both Sides of the House-Honored by All Who
 Know Her.

The National Society of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, in it's choice of new president general at the recent Continental congress, has continued to follow the precedent es- tablished in the case of its first lead CT, the late Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, and adhered to with its second, Mrs. Adlai E. Stevenson, for in electing to chief office Mrs. Mary Parke Foster, wife of John w. Foster, ex-secretary of state, and present peace commission CT for China, the revolutionary society has chosen a woman allied to the na- tion's official center. Neither has it swerved from its former requirements as regards the personnel of its chief off, cer. Mrs. Foster combines the same womanly virtues and force of intellect possessed by her predecessors, and, as in their case, the honor came to her un- sought and uncoveted. She is char ter member of the society, and was an active member of it's national board of management during the presidency of her near and dear friend, Mrs. Caroline Scott Harrison.
 Mrs. Foster was born in Salem, Ind, and is direct descendant of line of revolutionary heroes on both sides of the house. One great-grandfather, Daniel Read, was commissioned off cer, and served Gen. Washington. An other ancestor with noted revolution ary record was Col. John Brown, member of the Massachusetts provincial congress, who fell at the head of his troops A third was Capt. Silas Clark, who received wounds at the battle of Monmouth from which he soon died.
 Mrs. Foster, says Harper's Bazar, is the daughter of the late Rev. Alexan- der McPherson, her mother being Eliza Read, whose nine brothers all became distinguished in the army or navy, in medicine or at the bar. Graduated with class honors at Glendale college, near Cincinnati, Mrs. Foster soon after

Man who Preferred Switzerland in
 Winter to Matrimony.
 A joyous party assembled recently at a house in the Rue de Vanves. The representatives of the fair sex were at- tired in bright array, and one of them was resplendent in a white dress, a veil, and the traditional orange blossoms, for she was about to be united in the bonds of wcdlock to jeweler twenty-nine years of age, who had come forward as suitor for her hand few months ago. She had seen nine teen summers, and was an assistant in a shop, where her pretty face and smart manners had attracted the notice and won the heart of the bride groom elect. It was nine o'clock, and all the company were gathered at her parents abode save the jeweler, so, by way of killing the time, wine was brought out, and tongues wagged fast until an hour had gone by, when some one exclaimed that they must start If they would be welded to-day. A council was held, and messenger was dispatched in hot haste to the dwelling of the bridegroom elect, with press ing summons to come at once. Instead of the jeweler, however, he saw the concierge, who informed him that her tenant had taken his departure early in the morning, leaving a note which he said would be sure to be called for. The messenger hurried back with the letter, which was opened with trembling hands by the father of the young woman in the white dress and orange blossoms. Then doleful scene fol- lowed. In the missive the jeweler an- nounced that, after thinking the mat ter well over, he had come to the con- clusion that he was not inclined for matrimony, and he added that when the missive was received he would be well on his way to Switzerland, where he meant to stay for some time.
 At first it was thought that this might be a grim jest, and that the jeweler would make his appearance, with a laugh at the trick he had played; but soon this sanguine theory had to be abandoned. Then there was vail ing, mingled with denunciations of the cratic jeweler. The bride went of into a fit of violent mysteries, and had to be1conducted to her room while doctor was sent for, her mother giving vent to ejaculations of fury. As for her fater, he started off forthwith to the office of the nearest police commissary, accompanied by the friends who were to net as witnesses of the marriage, and into the ears of that official he poured melancholy tale, winding up with formal complaint against the jeweler. Much to his disgust the police commis- sary informed him of his regret that he could take no steps in the matter, and then, by way of consolation, the off, cial dilated on the sad life which the young woman would have been certain to lead with such a volatile husband, concluding with the expression of the opinion that all that had occurred was rather subject for congratulation than otherwise. The abandoned fan cee and her relatives could not, how ever, be induced to regard the matter in such philosophical light.-Paris Iaffar

A Triumph of woman,s shill.

Miss Ellaby, M. D., has just returned to England from India, which country she visited at the request of his high ness the Jam Sahib of Jamnagar, to perform an operation for cataract on the Maharani. This lady, who had been blind for nearly five years, is sev- enty years of age. She does honor to her Rajput birth by her sweet disposi- tiop and gentle manners, and she showed tho most touching gratitude for all that Miss Ellaby did to relieve her affiiction. Both eyes were operated on with the most complete success, her sight being entirely restored to her. When the news of the Maharani's re- covery spread throughout the court the occasion was made one of general re- soicing by her subjects.

One in particular, six year-old of the missions, is to be edu- cated very expensively by Miss Gould, the little girl having developed extraor- dinary musical genius, playing nearly every instrument by ear. Miss Helen wants home in New York to be near her personal interests of this nature. She will live very unique life. Where her home will be is uncertain. It was thought possible that she would buy the deserted Willie Vanderbilt palace on Fifth avenue, but of course that is but conjecture.

This the parties concerned could do, be- cause by some mix up Or other the names of the two young misses had been transposed. There is really no further reason to befog the matter. Everybody in society knows that young Mir. Maclzay has made formal propo- sition for Miss Consuelo's hand. Mrs. Vanderbilt hcsitates and wants her daughter to wait When all the Van- derblts met at Cannes recently, with Mr. Ducr, Mrs. Vanderbilt's counsel, the marriages of the girls were freely discussed and no secret was made of the fact As for young Maclzay, he is known to be very much in love, and is very popular and sensible. His bach elor extravagances take queer turn once in awhile, however. He has a billiard-room with stained glass win dows, on which are cmblazoned the faces of his bachelor friends in carica- ture, and he hos red and green horse.

Carnegie's friends that the political ambitions he once en- tertained were diverted into social channel through his wife's influence. Once popular, Carnegie is now disliked except by those who meet him person. ally. Then his genial dignity makes a most favorable impression. But he will find it very hard to establish him self in New York society, for that is an expensive undertaking. The ques- ton now is, will he build another new house or will he resurrect the old one, or will he become some social mag nate's tenant? His famous definition of society man as a man who com mitted cannibalis,n every time he ate pork, is not forgotten in the metrop- oils.

thing to see the whole audience remain in their seats for five minutes after the play ended loudly applauding and bringing the actors forward twice to bow their acknowledgement. "John-a- Dreams" has proved great financial success; in fact, much more so than Charles Frohman had counted on, for he was anxious to do other plays before the regular season, and 1t is probable now that these will have to be held in abeyance.
 James E. Powers, the popular come dian, was back in New York with the "New Boy" last week. He had in his support Miss Rachel Booth, Frederick Robinson and all the people engaged in the original New York production of the piece. "The New Boy" is a very funny farce. Its hero is a short man, with a wife of superior and overshad- owing physique who passes him off as her son, aged fourteen, in which guise he is obliged to go to school again and suffer many amusing indignities. Powers has the title role, and plays it in his own clever and versatile way.
 'Too Much Johnson" has a mother in-law in it, but no woman with past. The mother-in-law is 8 very up-to-date person and tries to do the bossing, but the Yonlers hero subdues her and there in lies considerable of the laugh pres sure of the play. No suspicion attaches to her preteritc and there's nothing risque about the lady or the play. William Gillette is in charge of the fes- tival of fun at the Standard theater and says he courts the fullest inyesti- gation on this point by the theater- goers of New York. In the meantime "Too Much Johnson" continues It's un- disturbed triumph and has run twenty two weeks at the Standard.

TURNING IT OVER. vail all over the country. That is, the hard times have left behind them such bitter memories an opportunity to recuperate pecuniar- fly, as it were. The result is that when Easter is fairly past there will be some thing in the nature of rush to buy everywhere. The immediate effect of this will be to make business very brisk this spring and money will un- doubtedly be very plentiful. It is no secret that New York fnanciers are prepared to see the rate of interest go down with a rush this spring. Even now collections, although slow up to a week ago, have begun to improve.
 To add to the situation the foreign investors found themselves burdened with idle capital after the withdrawal of gold last winter. Therefore, they have been forced to send money over here for investment. As yet the fnan- ciers have been cautious in putting that money out.
 Altogether the prospect is not so pleasing as it might look. With money certain to be very plentiful and trade sure to revive phenomenally, the risk is that an era of unlicensed speculation will set in. Old fnanciers say that this is the invariable consequence of prosperity coming quickly after a period of depression. The country is about to turn over a new leaf financial ly, and New York bankers are waiting with great interest to see what will follow
