 "The craze for Accent and 99-cent bargains requires a great many pen nies in the way of change, and, as | have said, it is no unusual thing for tbe biz department stores to take $lo'- GOO worth at a time. Most of these come back to us by the way of the slot machines. which have come to be won derful in number and variety.
 "There are kinetescope views, phono- graphs. automatic music boxes, candy a and chewing-gum sellers, weighing ma chimes, lifting machines and hundred and one others standing at every hand and coaxing the pennies from theif owners pockets. The result of all this has been that the government has hard work some of the time in maintaining the supply and can't hardly make pen nies fast enough to keep up with the growth in the demandifor then"

as may be in this vale of tears. Her father left $10, 900 to her, and, while she is not understood to be unduly close with her money, she has yet never been recklessly eXtraYagant, so that there is every reason 10 believe that her for tune has increased rather than dimin- ished since it was put in her hands. A great deal has been said concerning the various charities in which she has interested herself. Perhaps the most engaging of these is her home for crip- pied children and fresh-air farm at Tarrytown The house on this farm is known as Woody Crest. It was the property of the late Jay Gould, and is located about quarter of mile from Lyndhurst, Miss Gould's country place. Clumps of pine trees stand not far from the house, shielding it from observation and furnishing its name.
 Flowers-sufTrage-B
 Like most sensible young women, Helen Gould is exceedingly fond of flowers, and the greenhouses on the Lyndhurst estate are marvellous to see. In the summer time flowers are made to blossom all about the place, but the work of the 20 gardeners employed is by no means confined to Horticulture. They are all said to be skilled in the art of landscape gardening, and by Miss Gould's direction they devote a large portion of their time to the general Identification of the grounds.
 Despite her gentieness and many womanly qualities, Helen Gould is an ardent advocate of wonan's suffrage. So true is this that while she hesitates to talk for publication on most topics, she has more than once spoken freely on. this one; and when you come to think about it, there IS nothing surpris- ing that the present order of things, un- der which one of her stablemen can have voice in the government while she cannot. should seem incongruous to her.
 Miss Gould is as much in favor of muscular femininity as she is of equal suffrage, and one of her favorite forms of physical exercise is rolling ten pins The bowling alley at Lyndhurst is de seribed as model structure of it's kind and Miss Gould is an expert bowler She likes horseback riding as well as bowling, and, moreover. she likes horses too. though she does not take an interest in the race course.

say when he began to win the reputa- tion of mirthmaker. The public knew little about it until those memora ble days and nights when he and his friends in the exclusive Union club were too audibly joyous over their amusements to please the late lamented Auntie Paran Stevens.
 Later, now nearly ten years back, when James Brown Potter, since quite well known as the husband of Kyrle Bellew's dramatic star, invited Bellew 10 the Tuxedo club and actually ex- hibited him as guest at it's house, Lorillard coming out strong.
 First he ruled Bellew out of the house as promptly as horses are sometimes ruled off the race track. That was not particularly funny, however, especially to MT. Potter or Mir. Bellew. But when the latter protested against the ruling, old Lorillard's justification thereof, and the frantic letters it brought out from the actor, were funny enough to keep the newspapers busy with the matter for nigh a month. Bellew declared with much waste of ink and paper that he was spelling to fight duel with the snuffmaker, and there were some of us who hoped that the two might casually encounter one another while the row was going on. Of course we understood that a meeting" in the technical sense was not to be expected but we did long for the fun that might have ensued had there been an acci. dental collision. But though Pierre made the break of explaining the req son for Bellew's expulsion, he kept his head pretty well after that, even re fusing to answer Bellows frantic ap- peals through the newspapers for more explanations, and there were no really picturesque happenings in the whol; episode,

 One night Mir. Blank chanced to wit ness a small game in which one os his personal friends was participant. Howard the close of the evening the play became fast and furious, and the limit was lost sight of altogether. Now, it so happened that the friend of MT. Blank had, from frequent draughts of brandy and soda, become somewhat obiyious to the exact state of his pile, which had dwindled until only few chips remained to him. The last pot assumed, as all the last pots will, a rather magnified and abnormal size, and the friend of Mir. Blank found himself considerably shy. The game being strictly cash one, he borrowed his shortage from MT. Blank and gave his "I. 0. U.," which Mir. Blank pocket ed without reading.

 lives in Society.
fcopyright, 1898.


 New York, Jan. 2s.-There were not wanting plenty of persons to declare last Novemb Der, when Pierre Lorillard, the millionaire of snuff and chewing to- bacco, returned to the United States with abuse of this country on his lips, that he was getting ready to follow in the footsteps of Waldorf Astor, Jim Whistler, Bret Harte and other Ameri- cans of artistic temperament in for swearing his native land altogether. Mr. Lorillard now confirms the predie- ton by announcing that the manners of his countrymen are so bad, the cooking of our chefs so defective and the news papers of the United States so free with their comment that he must really go and live elsewhere. And the worst, or the best of it, is that he adds to his an nouncement the information that his mind is fully made up and cannot be changed.
 Whether the English will fall over each other in their eagerness to well come this recruit from Yankeedom as a permanent resident of their island is uueSblOH lndl JluS dlOHS Cdu SOlNNi and is, of course. far more important to the recruit himself than anyone else. He had little luck in winning place in society on the other side until he was taken up by Lord William Beres- ford, the present husband of the Ameri- can woman, born Price, who has been sc prominently before two hemispheres for some years because she was willing to spend dead Louis Hammersly' s money freely at Blenheim in order te wear the title of duchess. And he had to take Beresford in as racing partner before the least social countenance could be won.

Ice Flows for the Nevn.

Admiral Makarof, of the Russian navy, has invented a species of ice blow capable of breaking through ice from 12 to even 20 inches thick The experi- ments have proved so satisfactory that the government has given order for the immediate construction of two vessels of 10000 horse power each, armed with these blows. by means of which it is ex- pected to keep not only the River Neva, but also the various Mnseoyite ports open to navigation throughout the win ter. The majority of Russia's ports and naval arsenaIs are ice bound during more than four months of the year. Chicago Chronicle.

out TOT crooks while the festivities were on. In the course of his rambles through the house the sieuth descended to the kitchen. There he saw youth, clad like the walters employed by the well-known caterer who served the feast, but who seemed to feel not en- tirely at home. Calling the head waiter to him, the detective inquired as to the youths personality.
 Why" said the serving man, that fellow said he was one of your chaps; don't know him-neyer saw him be- fore"
 After that the detectives action was prompt. He gathered that young man in without ceremony, and, though he hadn't yet taken anything, appearances were so manifestly adverse that be 'fessed up promptly that he was there 10 steal. Of course the detective lost no time in notifying the commodore that he had used his eagle eye to ad- vantage.
 "Well," said the commodore, Tets do all the guests here good turn. Let's make them acquainted with this young mans appearance"
 So the detective led the self-confessed would-be thief through all the rooms, the delighted commodore following in the wake and explaining to everyone why the man was thus exhibited
 Helen Gould in Society,"
 Gossip about Helen Gould became the general order as soon as the Gould resi- dcnce at Fifth avenue and Forty seventh street was put in the hands of the furbishers to be prepared for habi- tation again. But it is only fair to say that none of the gossip has been ill., natured, for no one thinks badly of the late railroad kings elder daughter.
 Helen Gould WIS introduced to so- eiety on the day After Christmas, 1891. Her coming-out party received much attention from all the newspapers and was attended by many of the most nota- ble people in New York Contrary to general expectation, although there was no lack of expense in the enter tainment of tho guests, neither was there splurge nor vulgar display. This caused comment in certain quarters but it is hard to say why, since Jay Gould had never shown the tendenciea towards ostentation that are so often exhibited by the very rich.
 According to those who know Heller Gould, her life has been as nearly ideal

A DIFFERENCE IN PRICE.

The Member of the Legislature Rises

 Four or five Washington correspond- ents were telling stories of their ex- 4periences with statesmen, local and na- Itional, when one of them from state in the southwest swung into line with something little out of the ordinary,
 T was doing the legislature,' he be- gan, flor a syndicate of newspapers, with some free lance work on the side, and was making potful of money out of it. During the course of my minis itrations I discovered a case of vote sell ing by rural representative that was astonishing for it's sma!lness. l eouldn' t find out what the member got, but it couldn't have been much, for the whole matter at issue wasn't worth more than S4.5o or whereabouts. After eXhausting all my sources of information I thought I would try the member himself, and see how guileless he was on a little thing like that. I didn't dare ask him his price, but die dare to talk about it, and I went at him directly
 Say, young feller,' he said after had talked awhile, how much do you i git fer a news item like that?"
 It's pretty big thing for me re- piled persuasively. and I'll get $25 for the story if can get it complete3

WITHOUT A STOMACH.
Digestive Power of That Organ Has
 Long Decn OverestImated.

Long Deen Overestimnted.
 The astonishing discovery made by a foreign surgeon, who has found that a human being can live without stom- ach, will be regarded with wonder by the men of science everywhere. The physician who accomplished the tri- umph removed womans stomach four months ago, but the woman is still alive, working and in good health. She eats and she gets the benefit of her food, which IS digested, presumably, by the other organs in the intestinal tract.
 The operation may not be of imme- diate practical value. It seems to be doubtful whether it will ever be tried save in rare cases where the life of the patient is dependent upon relief from some sort of stomach trouble. The fact remains that the performance is of great importance as an indication that the digestive and assimilative power or the stomach has been overestimated and that much work of the kind is per formed by intestinal organs which have been little regarded. Heretofore it has been taken for granted that the stom- aeh was an indispensable part of the vital system; that without it no one could take food or assimilate it. The recent sensational operation has opened up whole new sphere of physiolog- ieal science by disclosing that it is actually possible to get along without the organ altogether.
 The discovery is another of the tri- umphs which the daring and skill oi modern surgery have encompassed within quarter of a century.

WHERE euRFEw RINGS.
The Experiments in This Line Have
 Proven Beneficial.

TCopyright, 169S.l
 Within the last two years series of experiments has been on trial in the Tinted States which at first excited any amount of ridicule and then ceased to attract attention. These consisted of the passage in number of large towns of what were called curfew or dfnanees, providing that after, say, nine o'clock at night persons of q certain age, generally less than 15, should not be upon the streets under penalty of arrest.
 Investigation as to the effect of the passage of these ordinances has shown without single exception that the re suit has been beneficial in high degree. It is doubtful if it would be possible now to repeal the ordinances which at the time of their passage caused so tremendous an uproar.
 Tn order to demonstrate exactly how these ordinances were liked in towns where they had been given fair trial, the chiefs of police in several of the more notable places were asked to give their opinions of the laws working. This is what they said:
 Lincoln, Neb.-The curfew ordinance passed by the city council February, 3, 1869. has given satisfaction in every respect. The only opposition comes from the criminal class, so to speak. Cities and towns in almost every state in the union have applied for copy of our ordinance.

Des Moines, Ia.-The curfew ordi- nance, so far as this city is concerned, is a success. It is certainly an improve ment over the old and results in a great deal less trouble for the police. The general sentiment of our PeoPie heartily endorses it. There is Ho opPo- sition from any quarter. The eurfew ordinance is strictly enforced.

 Chief ofpGIi r.a


 St. Joseph. Mo.-The eurfew became one of the ordinances of this city on the 18th of May, 1896, and has fully justi- fled the expectation of its most san guine friends. I beg leave to say that it has proved an unqualified success and at the present time I am also safe in saying that at least seyen-tenths of the people of this city give it their sin cere and cordial approval and support. It has been instrumental in keeping hundreds of children off the streets and away from public places at night who previous to the passage and enforce ment of the curfew were accustomed to run at will at all hours of the night. There has been a reduction of fully 50 per cent. in commitments to the reform school, of both sexes. It has been in- strumental in breaking up several gangs of juvenile thieves with which the city was infested previous to the curfew. It lessens crime, reduces taxes and is also blessing to parents who have children who defy home restraints.

Washington, November BY way Of

cials here have 10 idea that the Spanish
reply viii be an unconditional acceptance
Of our last proposition relating TO the ac-
QUESTION OF the Philippines. On the other
hand, they don't expect ain unequlvocal re-
lection What is likely to occur Is that the
Spanish commissioners will come In with a
counter proposition, the basis Of which
probably will be a considerable increase In
tho. sum of money TO be paid to the Span
sh government for the Philippines. This
will open way TO negotiations on that
subject. end inasmuch as the commission
ers spent about six weeks considering the
sections Of the protocol dealing with Cuba
and Porto Rico 1t Is reasonable to believe
that at feast a few Glys may be propsrly
allowed for the dec.=ion OF the proposition.
In short, It may be said that the officials
here do not expect a final breach OF rela-
tions between tho commissioners to occur
tomorrow, notwithstanding the comments
OF unfriendly European newspapers In that
line,
