CONGRESS HELD RESPONSIBLE,
Why IL Large Government Reserya-
ton Has Been Neglected.

Just opposite the Freedmen's Hospital
there is a government reservation that has
never been improved. June 16, 1892 the
Howard University decided this land to the
government upon the assurance that it
would be used as a public park forever
In a recent letter to the Secretary of the
Interior President Rankin of Howard Uni
versity called attention to this matter, and
said:
THE government has done nothing to
grade or drain or fence or in any way to
protect it. The noble old oaks are dying
every year. At some seasons there is a
marshy condition of the land near the hos
pital, and in case of great rains the hos
pital grounds are largely flooded To this
condition of affairs l am myself a witness.
The Secretary of the Interior has been in
correspondence on the subject with the
superintendent of public buildings and
grounds. The latter says that he has call
ed attention to this park in annual recon-
mendations for funds for improvement, but
Congress has not seen fit to furnish the
money asked for

Strength of the Order.


This organization, this order of battle
soldiers and sailors-that is, of genuine
fghters-numbers some 65,0OO members,
which, with the Womans Veteran Relief
Union, an auxiliary body of noble women,
and with the brothers and the sons and the
sisters and the daughters (and by mention
of the sisters and daughters l desire to in
dicate the benefcent influence of the wo-
man of Amerfca), is an immense power and
the order is growing to an extent that can
only be limited by the number of surviving
battle veterans of the death struggle for
the Union. The time is not far distant
when every man of the Grand Army of the
Republic, that great military organization,
the badge of which 1 wear with pride on
my breast-every man of the Grand Army
of the Republic who can be additionally
distinguished as having been an actual
warrior Will wear upon his breast the star
pointing him out as one who faced immi-
nent death in actual battle for the preser-
walton of the Union and it make our be-
loved country, in every sense, free.

ID Was Used In an Interview With Ward
McAllister In 1888.
The famous phrase, "the Four Hun
dred," which has become synonymous In
American ears with the most fashionable
and socially exclusive set In the population
of New York In particular and of other
American cities and big towns In general,
was born on March %, 1885, when there
appeared In The Tribune long interview
with Ward McAllister.
The article was headed "Secrets Of Ball
Giving" and In its opening paragraphs 1t
treated of Mr.. ,McAllister's ancestry and
his position in New York. When the in
terviewing part Of the story began, Mr..
McAllister told of the organization Of the
Patriarchs' ball in 1878 and related vari-
GUS little episodes of interest connected
with the gentlemen who were among Its
first subscribers. Finally he reached this
point: "Society Is an occupation In itself.
Only man who has good deal Of lei
sure and taste for IL can keep up with its
demands and with what interests it. Say
what you will, the modern leader Of society
must still have considerable of the old
courtier and chevalier endowment to make
a success of IL. Numbers OF people are In

isneu and deIerentiaI manner, the Infinite
capacity of good humor and ability to en-
terrain or be entertained that society de-
mands" He paused for moment, and
when he spoke again, lol the famous phrase
fell from his inspired lips:
why, there are only about 400 people
In fashionable New York society. II you
go outside that number, you either strike
people who are not at ease In q ballroom
or else make other people not at ease. See

Der of the most cultivated and highly re-

a large ball like the last New Years ball,
for 500 guests, we go outside of the exclu-
sive fashionable set and invite professional
men, doctors, lawyers, editors. artists and
the like. But the day when fortunes ad-
mitted men to exclusive society has gone
by. Twenty or thirty years ago it was
otherwise"
From that point to the end Mr.. Meal
lister talked about famous dinners and
suppers in the history of New York g fash
ionable entertaining, and also of the most
captivating dishes for such feasts of the
socially elect. Within a fortnight his
statement about the number of persons in
the fashionable set had been copied all
over the eastern part OF the country, and
1t gradually became solidly ingrafted into
the popular colloquialisms of American
slang and catch phrases. Mr.. McAllister
not long afterward, in another interview,
qualified his estimate by explaining that
he intended to convey the idea that there
were 400 households in tho city the mem
bers of which were in fashionable society,
but his qualification never got sufficient
currency to kill the original. estimate
