During his stay in New York he was importuned by the editors of several of the leading magazines for contributions to their periodicals, but in every case, though in one or two instances very liberal pay was offered, he most courteously but firmly refused. To an acquaintance who yentured to ask the brilliant Rus sian why he would not write for an American magazine he said:
 q have seen copies of every Amer ican periodical of any standing on sale ia England, and do not think it would be right, since l am in the pay of the Nineteenth Century. There is no con- tract forbidding me to do so, and might consider the proposition if there were no English sale of the magazines in question.

Benedict's Greenwich property.
 There is one good thing about MT. Benedict" said man who has known him a long time, 'and- that is that he'd as lief have q row with fellow millionaire as poor devil of q beer ierker, every bit. Do you recall his historic fuss with Hayemeyer? No? Well, it was one of the hottest set-to's on record, and funny beyond descrip- tion Benedict lives in Greenwich in the summer time and his house is lo- cated on high ground from which he and his friends can always enjoy a fine view of the little inlet, at the head of which Greenwich stands, and a good part of the sound.
 One of the sugar Havemeyers lives out in Greenwich, too, in the summer time, and being fond of the town he proposed a few years ago to present it with a handsome schoolhouse. Of course everybody was delighted-no- body more so than Benedict. But Benedict's joy was short lived, for when the workmen got to the roof of the new school building it became ap- parent that it would shout out the Benedict view.
 Bring me my spy glass, murmured Benedict, as soon as he knew the truth.
 ''When the instrument was placed in his hands he carefully scanned the group of men he saw standing around the building to learn if Havemeyer were among them He was, and Rene dict forthwith set out to see him with all the speed of one shod with seven leagued boots.
 As every one but Havemeyer ran away in fear when Benedict was seen approaching, no one knows just what words were used i'll the talk which fol- lowed. Observed from a distance both participants seemed highly animated. and there was much frantic waving of arms and bobbing of heads. The con fab lasted an hour or more. at the eX- piration of which time they walked away from the schoolhouse in opposite directions. It was some time after that before they were seen to speak togeth- CT, but the plans for the schoolhouse were changed. and the Benedict view is still unobstructed, the roof being eight feet lower than had at first been intended"
 Benedict, however, is good sort, even if he does keep yacht and de- lights in bluting saloonkeepers and sugar refners. His office in Broad street is on the ground floor. and easy of access 10 anyone. So is it's boss. You won't have to waste your time with buttoned guard if you ever rsake business call on Benedict, but

if your business seems unimportans when it's explained to him you'll may be wish you'd stayed away, for he'l tell you, in q voice like a gang saw that he'd like you go without delay
 On theother hand, he'll treat you like a prince of the blood or a successful operator in Chicago gas if you chance to please him. h any event you will see one of the wonders of nature when you see him, for his whole face is habitually of a richer, deeper and more intense hue than the nose of J Pierpont Morgan. And that nose once almost scared George Alfred Townsend out of a years growth.

RTEEJi Dl kuINIt4OlSC DldNs SA NNifNt s9fA-A | is often innocent of trimming; oftener it is embroidered with flowers worked inehenile or silk; the flowers are padded and so raised a good deal above the sur face of the material. Old point lace is the best bodice trimming for velvet gown. A woman who has a sufficient quantity of fine lace at her disposal can have an ideal dinner dress of velvet with a panel skirt front of lace, either draped or set on in ruffles. The sides of the skirt are most 'conventionally turned back in revers, but a good dress maker produces a more original effect by tapping them over.
 Other desirable materials for dinner dresses are plain or brocaded satins and corded silks. Deep rose tones, vivid reds and flaming orange are colors high in favor The most delicate tints of sil- yer, pale blue and gray are admired just as heartily. There is no standard of judgment or reason for preference except the taste of the wearer. Satin dresses are embroidered with chenille, quite in the fashion of velvet ones, but embroidery with jewels is as correct, perhaps more so. Gold, silver and steel are used in quantities that would bank rupt the Klondike, if the glittering stuff were all genuine. Turquoise has become too common to keep it's position much longer. The favorite gems of the month are opals and pearls. Neapolitan coral is used largely.
 The universally popular dinner dress In London is black net, glittering from neck to hem with trails of flowers in jet. silver or gold. A tall beauty has exploited a gown of this sort on the stage in New York lately, and the fash ion may become as general here. At present dinner dresses of thin stuffs are more fluffy. Mousselue de soie, crepe de chine, chiffon and net are used as freely for dinner wear as for fall gowns. Debutantes wear silk muslin over taf- feta and venture on tulle, though this latter material is reserved for skirts at least more carefully than the others for dances. All lace gowns are as desir- able as any to be procured.
 At less stately dinner parties the pretty evening waists sold at the shops and designed for use with silk and satin skirts are appropriate wear. With women of moderate means these are t { certain extent supplanting the dir9 ner gown. Given one s1nartly cut sl1irE two or three dainty bodices give

for a State Office has received since the
reorganization of the party in 1883. and
smaller vote than was polied by the
democratic candidate for President as
far back as 1876, when The flee lom OF
the ballot ia Virginia was threatened
by federal bayonets and poll-tax of
81 was perquisite to the exercise OF
suff, age in this State.
As to the suggestion contained in
O'Ferralls statement that Bryan lost
heavily in the white counties of this
State,let us apply the same argument
TO O'Ferra!l as a candidate for govern
or. In twenty eight of the white coun-
ties be lost nearly 10000 votes and in
the ten counties Of his own congres
sional district, having white voting

Confessional district, where he is best
and most unfavorably known-and this
d,s,ite the confessed fact that Mark
H4una sent S16O,OOO to Virginia last
ear tur the purpose of debauching tn
popular suffrage. 10 view If these
facts and figures, it seems incredible
that Governor O'Ferrall could have the
face to speak 'sarcastically" of Mr..
Bryan's popularity in Virginia. The
plain truth of it is, that no man ever
ran for uslic Office in Virginia on d
democratic ticket who more thoroughly
repelled the enlightened sentiment of
tne party tnan did Colonel O'Ferfall;
and no candidates personal character
and political integrity were ever more
drastlrcally assailed or feebly defended.
And now, wholly repudiated by the
democratic party, and despised by the
better men of the faction for which be
assumes to speak, he foolishly invites
1.-THE severe condemnation of the people
whom he betrayed, by an exhibition
as erotesque as any that has character
;zed an ad administration notable for fuss
and feathers, the beginning of which
was OF dubious wisdom and the ending
of which will be hailed by the intelll-
gent and high-minded people OF the
State with undisguised satisfaction.

O'FERRALL'S FIGURING.
From tho lyme burg News

From tho !. ync burg News
anything were lacking to prove the
shallowuess of Governor O'Ferrall anG
the utterly superficial character OF his
mental makeup, it might be found ir
his absurd attempt to discredit Mr.
Bryau's popularity with the democrats
of Virginia. The stupidity of the thing
IS astonishing, and, to discriminating
Virginian, it is certainly humillating to
reflect that the CHIEF executive office OF
the Commonwealth is occupied by a
gabbler of such cheap variety. Here
is the argument of his excellency on
the point indicated, as we find it in the
Washington Post interview:
"Bryen's vote under ordinary condi
tions, counting the average increase
over the Cleveland vote for four years
previous, ought to have been 1S4, 900.
It was 155,OOO Out of this number,
however, you must subtract populist
vote of at least 5000. That brings the
democratic vote down to 100000; so
that over 40, 900 democrats did not vote
for Bryan. The latter's ma jority was
1887. Deduct the populist vote from
5his, and the actual majority of demo
Gratis voting for Bryan was less than
5000. This shows bis great strength, y
added Governor O'Ferrall, sarcastical-
ly. "In Virginia, MIR. Cleveland receiv, d
a majority of 50,7l5, and in this $4,000
there was not single populist.
Was ever such nonsense strung to-
pether before and made TO do service
as an argument? The assumption that
Bryan should have gotten lS4 900 votes
In 1896 because Cleveland polied l63, 900
votes in 1895 is foolish in the natural
order of things, and ridiculous for other
reasons besides. The democratic vote
in this State, as the official f.ures dis
close. has shown no sIch uniform or
average increase at stated periods; and /,
furthermore, the potential fact that Mr..
Bryan had to face campaign corrup-
ion fund of 100000, half OF which is
alleged to have been disbursed by
O'Fe.ral's political consorts, more than
accounts for the difference in the num-
ber of votes polled by Cleveland In
1892 and Bryan in 1896.
But suppose we accept the argument
Of Governor O'Ferral as conclusive,
and admit that his figures discredit
Bryan's popularity among the demo-
Gratis of this State; then what do we
see? Iu 1889 Phil. Mckinney for gov
ernor polled 162 654 democratic votes.
By the test applied TO Bryan, as above
kiven, Charles T. O'Ferrall in 1893
should have pclled 1873 900 democratic
votes. How many did he get? He
was credited by the official count with
hut 127 $40 votes; and the Richmond
Times openly declared that he got even
this number by fAgrant fraud-
upon the ballot! Not only did
Governor O'Ferrall fail to get
within $1,000 of the normal demo
cratic poll, according to his own
method of computation, but be fell
347l4 votes short of the Mckinney
vote four years theretofore Worse
than this, he got "a .604Ivotes less than
Fitz Lee polled eight years before, and
