Mr.. VANOERBILT'S BRIDE.
THE YOUNG CRoESUs OF NEW YORK
WILL WED NEXT WEEK MISS
ELSIE FRENCH.

She IL a Wonderful Automo biIist, an
All Around Sportswoman, Cares
Nothing for Conventional Jewels
and Dresses Almost Exclusively in

of Mexico Her FavOrite Stones.
New York, Jan. 4.-Niss Elsie French,
who is soon to marry Mr.. Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt, is a veritable young Brun-
hide. She is tall and blonde and strong
above the strength of the ordinary fash
ionable young women. Out of doors there
is no sport in which she does not excel,
and her zest in exercise is due to her up
bringing. Unlike her associates, when
little girl, a school girl and finally
debutante. she never spent her winters
in New York At Newport she stayed
the year round to be bred a genuine
country lass, and with a boat, a tennis
racket a horse and golf club there is
almost nothing she can not do. When
automobling became the fashion at New
port Miss French carried off the laurels
from the brow of every other woman by
learning to turn her horseless carriage in
a figure eight and smile cheerfully the
while; and though so gifted as a sport
woman, she IS a good musician and speaks
her French with the best Faubourg st.
German accent.
IT is the out OF door life, however, that
she loves best, and whenever the weather
permits she drives herself in the Park,
an interesting and conspicuous figure in
red. Red gowns and c1oaks and hats
are a passion with this broad shouldered,
slim wasted, rosy young woman. For
driving she invariably dons a splendid
red broad-cloth coat that falls to her
toes in front, trains out a trile in the
rear, and is revered and collared ana

Portions OF a curious case of abnor-
mality in fish life have recently been re-
ceived for Identification at the British Mu-
scum of Natural History in London. The
skull and bones leaves no doubt that the
animal is the bottle-nosed dolphin (tur-
Stops tursio). In place, however, of the
ordinary "flukes' of a dolphin the tail
terminates in two long, narrow lobes, of
which one is very much longer than the
other. and were IL not placed In a hort
zontal instead of a vertical plane, II might
well be mistaken for the tail of a thresher
shark. The larger lobe of the tail meas

tai length of the remainder of the crea-
ture was ten feet. similar abnorml Al
elongation is noticeable in the case of the
back fin. Judging from the teeth the ami
NAL appears to have been very old. Prof
r. Lydekker. who has examined the ami
NAL, believes its abnormal form may pos
sibly have been due to a diseased condi-
ton, leading to excessive growth in spe-
cial regions a condition perhaps similar
to that which leads TO the human disease
known as elephantiasis.

WOULDN'T BE HAzED.
THE ASTONISHING CONDUCT OF A
WEST POINT PLEBE.
He Was Not What He Seem ed-He
Had Red Hair, n Squint Eye, and
His Name Was Spike, and the Up
per Class Men GIOated When They

Saw Him, but
From the New York Mail and Express.
Looking the whole thing over now with
the wisdom that is born of second
thought it certainly seems as if it was a
put-up job. Else why should such an ap-
pointment have been made? Not that the
fellow was particularly forward, as plebes
usually are, or even insolent. as that cal
iber of youth sometimes is. What the
yearlings and second and first-class men
objected to in the newcomer was the loud
ness of his civilian dress his handbook
ing face and, more than anything else,
his idiotic name. Few of them could
contain their indignation when Warsaw
Spike landed from the steamboat and
went to the adjutant's Office to report his
arrival.

prides itself upon it's caste. genuine or
fancied and among the cadets there is
much in a name. The adjutant's clerk
turned up his nose and muttered "Spike!"
in disgust. The upper class men, who
quickly heer all things, real or unreal,
shrugged their shoulders and looked at
the fellow with the contempt of conscious
superiority. The soldier orderly, who was
to conduct him to the barracks chuckled
to himself he softly murmured Il
wouldn't be in your boots for good deal,

class men were brandished from the lines
of barracks windows as the new butter
fly marched boldly past toward the bar

ing of Mr.. Warsaw Spike was an event
of rare importance to West Point, and
