NEW co1LEcr1Na MANIA.
It Involves Defrauding the Railway Over
 Which One Travels.

Sir Walter Besant has found new kind of collecting mania. It is that of collecting railway tickets. "As it has long been the unalterable resolution, as everybody knows, on the part of the rail- way companies to collect their tickets for themselves, the collection by private hands requires skill, boldness and in- genuity. The whole difficulty is to get past the ticket collector. This is at tempted, sometimes successfully, learn from an ardent virtuoso in railway tick cts, in several ways, says a New York Press writer
 You may rush him in the crowd; you may walk past him with familiar nod that of the season ticket holder; you may finger to the last and until the tick ct collector has gone; you may pretend to be on the platform in search of a friend; you may pretend that you have already given it up; you may even, as is rumored concerning one enthusiast, pre- tend that you have lost it and pay your fare over again. All collecting, except that of collecting gold coins of the pres ent reign, is vanity, but really the vanity of collecting railway tickets is the most egregious."

BLUE-GRAY PARADE.
Il Has Finally Been Determined 10 Let
Il Drop.
OPPOSITION OF IVAN v. WALKER.
Grand Army of the Republic Ont Of
II, Individual Northerners Were
Written TO-The Result unsatis-
fnctory-Other Reasons.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE committee
of citizens, headed by the Hon. Charles
o.. Dana, associated 20 make arrange
ments for a reunion Of Union and Confed-
crate war veterans. which was TO shaye
been held i'm this city on July fth. and
a parade of the boys in blue and gray
which was intended to be a feature OF the
celebration. to emphasize the disappear
ance of sectional feeling between the
North and the South. has finally deter
mined to allow the project to die a natural
death.
The opposition OF Ivan y. Walker COM
mander-in-chief Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, put a quietus on the movement
so far as the Grand Army OF the Republic
as a body. is concerned.
The committee then considered the adj
Visibility of asking the war veterans OF
the North. irrespective of their affiliations
with the Grand Army. TO take part In the
parade. and some correspondence ensued'
but the result was not satisfactory for.
although many favorable replies were re-
ceived from individuals, expressing APP
prevail OF the project and their lnten-
ton to take part in the parade as indi-
viduas, there were 80 few respor ses rrom
organizations OF veterans that T. was APP
parent that the demonstration would not
be OF a sufficiently representative char
acter. SO the matter has beer dropped.
Colonel John J. Garnett, an ex-C0nted-
crate soldier. who was secretary OF the
committee. when spoken 70 to-day about
the Abandonment OF the project. said: i
regret very much that the committee has
been compelled to drop the matter. IL was
intended to be a fraternal and patriotic
demonstration which would have been or
lasting benefit to this city and the country
az large. But In the face OF the vioent
opposition expressed by the Commander
in-Chief Of the Grand Army. and his pro-
hIbition to the posts TO take part IN the
parade, Il would not be carried 10 sue
cessful issue. The Confederate veterans
felt themselves lnsulted by the attitude
and words OF the Commander-in-Chief OF
the Grand Army, and under the crcum-
stances. they would not come North 10
take part as a body in a parade such "a
was proposed. II is a most unfortunat,
outcome of a well-meant and entirely
laudable project.
'yrhe date OF the annual reunion Of the
Confederate veterans. which was origi-
nally fixed for May I'd. 23i. and oath. was
changed TO June 3Oth, July LIST and 2d. so
as to give the veterans an opportunity
to come North from Richmond %
take part I'm the parade Of the
Blue and the Gray. which was
scheduled for July 4th. but now many Of
the Confederate veteran camps through
out the South have passed resolutions
asking General Gordon. the commander OF
the organization. to again change the date
so that the reunion may be held on the
original dates in May. So the committee
determined that the best thing to be done
was to let the whole matter drop"

ing that the fact that the Senate mas
not already agreed TO the report OF HS

GENERAL SATISFACTION.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Standard
will tomorrow publish a dispatch from
Madrid saying that sincere satisfaction
Is visible among all classes at the
improved relations. owing to the wash
ington Governments ignoring the reso-
buttons OF Congress. The ministerial
organs claim that It IL a success for
Snanish diplomacy, while the opposi-
ton papers contend that the danger Is
postponed. not averted.
II is evident from the tenor Of the dis
matches from Madrid that there Is mis-
understanding there as TO the status or
of the Cuban belligerency resolutions.
II seems to be understood in the Spanish
canitol that either the Senate Will not
agree TO the House resolutions, or that
president Cleveland will pay no atten-
tion TO them II they should be adopted
by Congress.

that there had been no privateers htteu
out in any war since 1886. even by the
Powers that had not acceded 10 the

the fact that the principle or a neu-

Mr.. Barbour held that there was
general acceptance Of the Paris declara-
ton by all the Powers. though II was

IMPRESSION GOWNS.

(" HE impressionist costume Is not to be
Wv confounded with the picture COS
tune. The latter has excuses for
existence which even the unedu-
Gated in aesthetics admit 1t is
graceful, or quaint, and il reminds the Oh
server OF the ladies OF old days when Sir
Joshua or Gainsborougb painted. But the
impreSsouist costume angels and minis
ters OF grace defend us-has no excuse,
unless, indeed, it can be taken as a justtfi-
cation for the poster artist only in his
line and oolor-defying productions are the
equals OF the impressiouist costume TO be
found.
The imprcssiouist costume makes lavish
use of those colors which impressiouisrss see
so oabundanGIy in nature. The puppies which
the well-regulated inpressionist eye dis
covers in the most unusual placesare one OF
the most conspicuous features of the i'm
pressionist costume. To lie sure, the
couturere has called the color "heliotrope,"
magenta" or "eminence,' but purple by
any other name is still as harsh u hue as
under its own.
Then green is used lavishly in the i'm
pressionist costume-the lighter shades of
green, which suggest unripe fruit. y
bonnet composed entirely of woven green
stems and blindingly brilliant purple vio-
letsis regarded as millinery triumph.
Some, day, when the fearfuliy and won
derfully garbed lady of the poster ceases
to be a model. The passion for purple aud
green will cease. And many women will
thereupou rejoice to find their complexion
mysterIouSly improved.

DO YoU LIKE BANANAS?

n ANANA A ENTREE-To serve ba-
nanas for vegetable or entree,
peel the fruit and cut it in two
A~ lengthwise; roll the p ieces in
cracker dust and saute in little
butter. tnen sprinkle them with sugar and
serve.
Baked Bananas-Place the bananas in a
baking pun, slit them and dredge with
flour; squeeze a little lemon Juice over
them and add enough water to make 4
dressing, and bake in moderate oven.
Another way for baking bananas: Pare
the fruit and lay them on buttered
biscuit pan, leaving space between each
one. Mix three tablespooniuls of sherry
wine or lemon Juice with six tablespoon
fuls OF sugar and three of butter; place
the dish containing the mixture in pan OF
hot water to melt the butter: put the pan
holding the fruit in moderate oven and
bake for half an hour, basting the bananas
with the prepared butter until it is all
used.
Stuffed Bananas-For stuffed bananas,
peel the skin from one side OF large bananas
and with Il teaspoon scoop out furrow
tbrec-QuagteTs of an inch deep. Chop fine
some cl6died pineapple and cherries, mix
with graDulated sugar and sherry vine.
Put the mixture in the prepared bananas,
heapiDg it up, place them in a baking pa n
and bake in a moderate oven Tor twenty
minutes. Serve them in skins very hot AID
pour a tablespoonful of Grange juice over
each bapana. For half a dozen bananas
allcw two ounces OF pineapple and the
same amount of cherries four tablespoon
fuls of sherry and two of sugar.
