Boston's most exclusive set now num-
bers 80, and the prospects of increasing
ii to even 40 are not overnight. This
| is a surprising figure, when it is con-
sfdered that there are over 700 names in
| the blue book, fully 400 of which repre-
sent what is known as ultrafashionable
/ society.
To belong to this most select circle of
| 80, one must trace ones ancestry back
| to the good ship Mayfiower. To be of
| English extraction or of the nobility is
not even permissible. 1t is strictly May
flower stock that forms Boston's newest
set, and even at that, descendants of
the pilgrims who can seek with any
/ certainty of admission to this exclusive
circle must be those whose fathers did
not pursue the humble calling of their
ancestors, of a butcher, a baker or a
/ candle-stick maker.
George Ernest Bowman was instru-
mental in sorting out this new set, and
there are enrolled in it the following,

4 the Cincinnati Tribune.

From the Cincinnati Tribune.
The manner of their lives, separated
so largely from the companionship and
relaxations of life, seems to make royal
personages especially fond of a joke
and the rougher ii is and the more 1t
partakes of horseplay character the
more welcome 1t is.
One of the most peculiar practical
jokes was that organized in the council
chamber of the late King Alfonso of
Spain by his intimate friend and ia
vorite companion. the Duke of Ia
names, who accompanied the Infanta
Eulalie to this country in 1898.
1t was during carnival time and the
king had complained to the duke that
1t was a very dreary affair. and en-
treated the nobleman to do something
to liven things up a bit. The following
morning when the king entered his
council chamber he was almost pitched
over by most extraordinary appari-
tion. 1t appeared to be a bag such as
millers use for -four and IL was termi-
mated by a pair of bow legs that were
prancing about in every direction. The
architecture of these legs at once re-
vealed to the king the identity of the
human flour bag. 1t was no other than
the little minister of agriculture, who,
with the assistance of the Duke of Ia
names and the apparently grave and
austere minister of foreign affairs, had
dressed himself in this odd rig. The
king Joined so heartily in the laughter
provoked by the extraordinary antics
of his cabinet officer that the tears
streamed down his face. nor was his
mirth diminished when the minister,
after having extricated himself from
the bag. showed himself with his hair.
his beard and his uniform literally COW
cred with -four.
Another monarch who is very fond OF
practical joking is Emperor William OF
Germany. On one occasion about a
year after he assembled the throne, his
right hand was seriously injured dur
ing the rough horseplay that takes
place every st. Sylvester's. or New
Years eve. in the streets of Berlin. on
that night no citizen ventures 10 ap-
pear upon any public thoroughfare
wearing a tall hat. or even a Derby.
The students have from time immemo-
rial had a sort Of unwritten right TO

THERE IS A MISTAKE
The VAUDEVILLE Patient, Mcdonald,
Has Returned to Work.
A REPORT THAT HE IS WORSE
County Physician Alvord as seen
the Man and says That re Is
Not a smallpox ratient. but
Is WelI-Other Opinions.
A REPORT THAT HE IS WORSE

The alleged case of smallpox in
Walkerville is still a subject of con-
troversy, misstatements and contradic-
ltions. On Friday. the quarantine on
the house was raised, and Mcdonald,
the man who was supposed to have had
the smallpox, returned to work Yet
in the face of these facts the Miner
this morning printed the following:
THE case of smallpox reported about
week ago has turned out to be the
genuine article. The patient is now in
the pest house and receiving the pess
of care. While no serious results are
anticipated the physicians in charge
and the local authorities have taken
every precaution to prevent a spread
of the epidemic and the house from
which the patient was taken is under a
strict quarantine, which will be main
tanned until the danger line has been
passed"
The above item brought out the col
lowing communication from Dr.. AL
word, the county physician and health
officer: To the editor of the Standard:
Dear Sir-With your permission, / de-
sire to correct through your columns
a report which appeared m a morning
paper to the effect that the man Me-
Donald in Walkerville, mad developci
genuine smallpox and had been SEM TO
the pest house. When 1 read the article
l doubted its accuracy for two reasons.
/ had seen him yesterday morning and
found no symptoms of smallpox. I
found also that the quarantine on the
house had been raised, the patient
could hardly have been sent to the pest
house without the knowledge of some
members of the county board of health.
But to make assurance doublv sule I
have just seen Mr.. Mcdonald at lis
home in North Walkerville in the rres-
ence of a witness. Now | am heartily
sick of this smallpox controversy end
presume the public is also, still don't
propose to let a statement Of this Lind,
which is either a careless error o!
premeditated perversion OF TIE fac;s,
pass without notice. Very respect i. ly,
George e. Alvord, NJ. l."
Several citizens of Walkervi!le also
called on the Standard YESTERDAY 10
protest against the continued public a.
ton of the statement that Mcdonald
had the smallpox and said tina. II was
generally understood that he did NOT
have that disease and Mt NJ time was
he very sick. They claim it was 10th
ing but chickenpox. Or. Wells, how
ever, still insists that Mcdonald hau a
very light attack of smallpox, and to a
Standard reporter last evening said he
understood that 1t was the ia Their CT
Mcdonald who returned to work and
not the man who had been sick DIR.
Wells admitted that the qua "antiDe
had been raised several days ago as
none of the other members OF the fam
lily were taken down with *. ploper
precautions against it having been
taken by the health officer.

OF AN OLD FOLLY

All, what is this / find inside
My last years overcoat?
Two red coupons for front seats hid
Within a dainty note!
A subtle perfume clings about
That page of palest blue,
Sweet incense borne across the months
That roll between us two.
The note says she-how fair she was!-
Would most delighted be
To go and hear De Reszke sing
In 'Lohengrin" with me.
That night still lives In memry's halls
THE seats cost me eleven),
Her words, like rose leaves. linger yet
(The carriage cost me seven).
All, yes, that happy night comes back
With lesser joys 10 mingle-
She, Oh, she's married, and l am
Wei. /, as yet, am single.

smashing his hat with a sharp blow of
the fist upon it's crown.
The kaiser, who had always Joined in
this form of sport before his ascension
to the crown, on the first New Years
eve that followed the death of his Ia
mented father. walked out with the col
lar OF his coat well turned up and a fur
cap drawn down over his eyes so as to
conceal his identity. He soon had sew
eral badly wrecked hats to his credit.
He then encountered an elderly citizen
of portly figure and benevolent de-
meanor, whose looks. however, belied
his character. He had been bonneted
In previous years and was resolved TO
teach his tormentors a lesson. So he
had made a sort of leather skull cap,
thick In texture and studded with long,
sharp nails.
so when the emperor brought down
his fist with all his might on the inof-
fensive-looking tall hat his hand was
pierced in many places by the nails and
covered with blood, the injuries at one
time threatening lockjaw. The citizen
was arrested pending a decision as to
whether he should be prosecuted on a
charge of 'lese majestic" He was,
however, released, as his offense was
entirely an innocent one.
No one is more fond of practical
jokes than the Prince of Wales. In
times gone by his favorite butt used to
be his private secretary, Sir Francis
Knollys, and the number of apple pie
beds, BOBBY traps and hoaxes which he
has been called upon to endure with
good humor and equanimity would fill
volume to describe.

TO SELECT THE MEN
The Police Committee of the Council
TO Meet Tonight
HOW THE VOTES ARE CAST
A Process That Follows Every City
Election. and Win Continue to
Do 50 Until State Legisla-
ton DEGREES Otherwise

The police committee of the city
council will meet at the city hall at Z: &c
O'Clock this evening to select the mem
bers of the police force for the present
year 1t is not probable that they viii
complete the work tonight, for about
80 policemen are to be selected and as
all are to be chosen by ballot IL is like
IL that another session will have to be
held Tuesday evening to complete the
job.
The members of the police committee
who will select the force are Aldermen
Harrington. briggs, Montgomery
Bausman. Leggat. Rodda, Rowe,
knowlton, and Mayor Thompson. The
committee is thus composed of one al
dernan from each ward with the may
or thrown in. There will be nine votes
and each candidate for policeman must
receive five votes in order to be rec
commended TO the council for appoint
ment There is little doubt that nomi-
nees of the police committee will be
confirmed by the council Wednesday
night, although ii is possible that some
of the men named by the committee
will not be confirmed by the council.
The members Of the committee will
probably each nominate several candi-
dates and ballots will continue to be
taken until all are elected Five votes
Gil are necessary to make a man a po-
liceman.
There is naturally a good deal of
pulling and hauling going on among
the aldermen at the hands of the police
men. This is an undignified and I'M
fortunate position in which to place the
policemen, whose positions ought to be
dependent on good service and not on
the amount of influence they can bring
to bear on aldermen. 1t is hoped that
this may all be changed next year by
the legislature taking the appointment
and control of the police force entirely
out of the hands of the council 1t is
utterly impossible to keep a good police
force, even If one is obtained, under the
present system. No matter how good
a police force may be got together the
present year, with a change in admins
trations next spring the majority of
the force is bound TO be changed.
The fire committee will also meet at
1870 O'Clock this evening for the pur-
pose of passing on who shall constitute
the fire department this year. on this
committee will devolve the question of
whether or not Fire Marshal Werner
shall be retained and also who shall
be the firemen and captains. 1t is pos
sible too, that the committee may
decide 20 dispense with the fire cap
tains and return to the old system of
having an assistant fire marshal. The
members of the fire committee are
Aldermen Bausman, Cannon, Leggat,
Montgomery and Davey.

NY SOLDIER.

Across my nursery carpet
There marches every day,
A sturdy little soldier,
Intent on fancied fray.
He wears a wooden musket,
A paper soldier cap.
And around his wrist is buckled
A battered harness strap.
oh, precious little warrior,
With eyes of clearest blue,
And golden ringlets shining,
My heart yearns over you!
You little know the battle
You soon will have to fight,
You little know the struggle
Which soon will test your might
God grant the same bright spirit,
The same uplifted heart,
The same undaunted courage,
The same unfaltering tread
May be your own in manhood
To meet its trials sore,
AS now in playing soldier
Across the nursery floor.
