The Ladies Protective association of the
X. OF L. and the Ladies' A. p. A. are, OF
course, separate organizations, although
on account of the similarity of names and
meeting IN the same hall, this has not
been generally understood.

MAY TAKE A RE ST.
But the Secretary Has Not Said Ho VIII
Resign.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Vigorous denial
is made in administration circles of the
story that Secretary Gresham is about to
resign. The secretary himself will not be
interviewed, not caring to dignity the re-
port by denial. II is a fact that the
secretary has been in i'll health for some
time from an attack of neuralgia of the
stomach. He is unable to get relief in
Washington owing to the frequency with
which delicate and embarrassing diplo-
matte questions have been forced upon
him and it is probable that he will yield
to tho solicitations of his family and
friends so far as to take n short leave of
absence and go to his farm IN Indiana,
and perhaps stop for a time in Chicago.

WAS A SOCIETY SPECIALIST,
To the Day of His. Death Ward Meal
lister Remained a Social Oracle.

The death of Ward McAllister recalls
his criticism of Chicago society made
in an article published over his name in
q New York paper in April, 1893. He
criticised the civilization of Chicago
severely. The newspapers Of Chicago
were eXasperated into fierce attacks
upon him. Cities outside Of New York
were never tolerant Of MI. McAllister's
criticism of their form" In recent
years there have been some pretenders
to McAlliSter'S social throne, but he
was never dethroncd. Almost to the
day of his death he continued to be the
society oracle. His words. of advice cr
criticism carried weight, whether thcs
were uttered about the great horse
shown which he took deep interest
or about a fashionable private recep-
ton.
His book, "Society as l Have Found
It. was IA burning topic of the fall of
1890. 1t yielded considerable profit and
subjected the author to Il storm of
scathing criticism. 1t told too many
truths to suit some people. and Others
thought that too much space in it was
devoted to the art of eating. But Mr..
McAlliSter was Il master of gaStrOn-
omy. His little dinners will be mem
orable and some of his criticism Of
other peoples dinners will not readily
be forgotten. An old Savannah man
said of McAllister on~c: "Well, he can

Oats and Scotland.

When DR.. Johnson had defined oats
as "a grain which in England is gen
orally given to horses, but in Scotland
supports the people," Lord Elibank tri-
umphantly retorted: But where will
you find such horses and such men,"
We may admire the patriotism. but
we must regret the loyal mendacity of
his lordship, for he must have known
how dirty, slow and %slovenly his rural
cOuntrymen were.
The food of the people was poor, for
they had nothing to cook except Oat
and barley meal and kail-greens from
their yard, for no other vegetables
were known; and beef or mutton they
seldom saw. and pigs flesh they would
not eat if they had it. Their drink
was fermented whey, kept for q year
in barrels, or ale made from oats and
heather. Milk they rarely had. for the
meagre COWS provided only two or three
pints a day, and that was kept sour
from being in foul dishes.

You wouldn't believe It possible to

the a~ll-pervasive qualities of air. Most
rooms are largely ventilated through
their walls. and the brick and mortar

New Terror for French Convicts.

Life in the French penal colony at
New Caledonia has been pictured as so
agreeable, both by reason of the eli
mate as well as the leniency with
which convicts have been treated, that
transportation seems to have lost most
of its terrors. Criminals do not con-
ceal their preference for a long SEN
tence in the beautiful Pacific island to
much shorter term with hard labor
in one of the penitentiaries at home,
and when perpetrating misdeed have
sought as rule to render their offense
as serious as possible, SO as to entail
transportation if captured. 1t is with
view of putting an end to this senti-
ment thu the French government has
now de- ID to stop sending convicts
to New Caledonia, and is making ar
engagements to deport them instead to
Gaboon, the fever-stricken and most
pestilential of all districts of French
Congoland in Africa.
