MRS. ASTOR A THOROUGHBRED

The marks OF high breeding, says a
New York gossip, are quite as clearly
indicated in the human species as in ami
mails Yet it is most common to hear a
man express himself as the most obdu-
rate skeptic in the one case, while in the
other he disproves his own argument
A thoroughbred woman will eXhibitmaTks
OF race purity in everything she does. En-
vironment viii have its effect upon her: it
cannot obliterate signs of race. Thorough
breeding must ustcomprehend, fl rst of all, clean
blood. Good blood has no scrofulous taint,
and though it be the blood of a queen and
not pure, it is not good and the man or
woman in whose veins tainted blood runs
cannot be truly thoroughbred. Social po-
sition is not criterion for pure blood, it is
needless to say, and many coronet Las
rested upon a sorofulous brow.
The highest bred woman in outward ap-
pearance in New York today is, l should
say, Mrs. John Jacob Astor She has every
outward sign of race, the delicate, SYM
metrical frame, the beautiful bones, as Du
Maurier puts it, covered with flesh of ex-
qusite color and texture, forming the al
together charming sof perfectly pro-
portioned woman. Watching Mrs. Astor
critically for an hour, fail to see her de-
scribe one angle. Every movement is I'M
studied rh ythm every bend and turn OF her
daintily set head is unconsciously and adj
mirably graceful. No parvenue could imi-
tate Mrs. Astor's daintiness, and without
patrician bearing, woman not to the
manner born, would be grotesque and
clumsy were she to attempt to frame her
self in Mrs. Astor's unique personality.
II | mistake not, Mrs. Astor comes very
clearly by her high-bred appearance.

The CHRISTENING OF WAIFS
A Duty Often Performed by Humane
Agent Wilson.
The Naming of a Motherless Babe
Occurred Yesterday at Freed
mans Hospital.

There was christening without reIigi
GUS rltes last evening at Freedman (
Hospital. The master Of ceremonies wa,
Agent Samuel Wilson, of the Humane
Society, and he bestowed the name s'Jen-
nie Trader upon little cOlored waif.
The circumstances OF the case are these.
Several weeks ago Jennie Trader, a young
colored woman, sick and destitute, was
admitted to Freedman's Hospital There
her child was born. The mother ONLY
survived the birth a few days, her death
occurring yesterday
Inc hospital auth critics reported the
case TO Agent Wilson and requested him
20 take charge of the mOtheTless and
fatherIeso infant, which was also nameIess.
wilson went to the hospital last evening
to take charge of the little one. Before
removing it to st. AIMS Infant Asylum, and
in the presence of the hospital staff. he
gave the baby its dead mothers name
Jennie Trader-and as such it has been en-
tered upon the records OF the infant asv.
lum.
One of Agent Wilson's duties is to chris
ten infa nts OF this sort. and during his ser
vice as agent OF the Humane Society he
has supplied many names which children
will wear for life.
In cases Of children picked up on the
streets, whose parents are not known, he
supplies both christian and surname.
His favoTite names for children are the
names or months, and when an infant,
particularly female infant, finds its
way into his hands during the month Of
May. IL is tolerabIy certain to receive the
name of May" The same is the case
IN June or August.

CISNEROS REPORTED DEAD.
An UncOnfirmed Rumor COnce rning
the Cuban President

An UncOnfirmed Rumor Concerning
the Cuban President.
New York, Feb 25-A dispatch to the
Sun from Havana says: La Lucha SAYS
that Salvador Cisneros Betancourt, presi
dent OF the Republic of Cuba, is dead
The correspondent OF the newspaper at
Puerto Principe adds that President Cis-
neros died Of illness, contracted after he
had passed the Morou-J -Jucaro trocha from
the west in the last days OF January The
report is not believed here by the Cubans
and up to this time the Spaniards have
not announced il officially Hei q strong
man, sixty-five years old, and Injured to
the hardships OF Cuban warfare, for he
passed through the ten years struggle OF
the last revolution. The belief of the
Cuhans that the report of his death is false
is founded upon the fact that during the
first day Of this month news was received
from Cisneros, and there was no intima-
ton that he was other than in the best OF
health
When Consul General Lee received the
official news that the American citizen
Charles Francis Scott, is now permitted to
communicate freely with every one, he
called on the prisoner. Mr. ScOtts deten-
ton without the privilege of communion
ting with the outside world was unlawful,
because in civil trials, TO which all accused
Americans are entitled, no prisoner can
legally toe iGCommunicadO more than forty
eight hours. Mr. Scott is innocent Of all
charges made against him by the tIaitOr
Miguel Beato, the former agent OF the
revolutionary junta here. He had nothing
TO do either with the alleged conspfracies
against FOnSdeviella in GuanabaCOa and
RcgIa or with the affair Of the imprisoned
Cuban woman, Ana SOtOlOngO.
The fate of the latter is most unhappy.
She is still confined in the house for dis
reputable women, and has been atrociouSIy
treated since her escape and reCapture.
Mr. Scott was accused of participating
in her escape Fl ON the house where she
is again onfined.

Two Greeks Persistently Block the
Seventh Street Sidewalk.

The CharcOnus brothers, Theodore and
Stavius, don't feel at ease unless they
make visit TO the police court at least
twice week. Their chronic ailment
is an ungovernable desire TO stand still

on Seventh street.
The two forfeited collateral on this charge
two days ago, and one was arrested yester-
day morning, the other coming to the
station to leave collateral for his brother
They had scarcely heen gone from the
station an hour, when they were again
brought in by Officer Miller, on precisely
the same charges. In the police court
today Judge Miller fined them each 81,
adding a mild admonition, thus.
Il dislike to impose fines upon you
people day after day, but it is all can
