 I wonder if James R. Keene has started a new fashion? All women love jewels and at the dinner he gave at Palm Beach he gave to the ladies present diamond brooches that were no trifies Mrs. Archie Mcclure, Jr., says: During <he dinner he told me that he wished to present the ladies with some favors merely as souv- enirs of the occasion and he asked me if I would prefer to receive mine in priv ate. I told MT Keene that l would ratn- CT receive it in public, so just before the close of the dinner he presented the fa- vors. He enjoined us not to look at them until after dinner. When 1t was over, the ladies went out on the veranda and there examined the gifts. The favors were all elaborate, but l was greatly surprised to find that mine was the gem Of them all" These souvenirs are pleasant to re- ceive and they set the pace for those who wish to be noted for open hanoed hospitality. MT Keene has always been princely in his way of doing things. but how about some other hosts. Oh, this IS the age of gold and diamonds
 The following good story is being told of Herr Bonn, It may be authentic, al- though it seems to me I heard it about century ago when I was boy. Still 1t is worth repeating even If not true.

 Actors get as big salaries as generals for making few grimaces.
 A high stone wall 1anked the road, ana pointing to it Bonn said to the onlcer who had sneered at him:
 "Can you take that leap?
 The officer put his horse at the renee and cleared it easily, Bonn was close ne- hind him.

That this sort of thing could go on for any length of time is doubtful. It matters little how long 1t went on, long enough for him to steal thirty times his salary; or he would have worked for thirty years at the salary paid him to have earned the money he stole. Herein was the temptation.

To De Immune from Disease
DR. JAMES BENTON.

It sometimes is profitable to look for ward. Experience is a teacher, and when it fails, the fault lies with the pupil. All our wonderful mechanical inven- tions. in whole or in part are the result of experience Our customs are evolved out of the experiences of our ancestors, and the laws of today find their origin in the conditions of yesterday. But when we look backward to survey the exper- fence of those who preceded us, we are not often inclined to look back far enough. We limit our view, too often, to the records of our own face or our own civilization; why not extend it to the civilizations that preceded ours?
 The reason Is that when we follow back the history of this old earth, we are com- pelled to realize a condition to which we are inherently opposed. The condition Is total extinction. We observe civilizations have passed away like scroll and even the sites they occupied have changed beyond recognition. Facing as we do the future, we close our eyes to the past, and yet to properly face the future and escape the annihilation that overcome past civilizations, we should open wide our eyes to all assailing conditions.
 Although we admit that much that was once human knowledge, has been lost, and forms no part of the vast store possessed by this civilization we fell our selves so tremendously superior to all who have possessed intelligence and yet passed away without a trace, that we face the future with unbounded confi- dence. We have done much to improve the condition of man and much to re- lieve him of the hardships in gaining the sustenance of life; we have done much to make the earth fruitful by cul- tivation and to yield to a common mar ket its widely diversified products; but we have not accomplished much to insure the whole race from annihiliation.
 Civilizations all fell They were not all destroyed by wars, by famine, by floods and fire They decayed Lost their powers of resistance, were overcome by those more fit to survive. When the Virility oi a people passes away, the people pass and the civilization they reared, At the vitals of every civilization ghawse its would be destroyer
 Today the energy of this people is d. rected in the conquest of things of earth. Mind seeks to. dominate matter. Iron, conner. gold. coal is taken from the mine and converted to the use of man; knowledge is acquired to assist in the means of adding to the storehouse the wealth of the world, and in adapt ing people to the use Of the eartns s yield. But the great question for this civilization Is the best means to be adopted for the preservation of the race. How to be immune from the diseases that war against the health and virility of the people.

"Dixie Girl"


 The leading shoe of the George D. Witt Shoe Company's Ninth street factory has been christened Dixie Girl" No more appropriate name could be selected This girl or the South,' the creation of South- ern SKILL will be a favorite from the start among Southern danes, and will walk over her rivals and appeal to the neart or the women of Dixie" with a lasting ease Her regal boise faultless, her bearing splendid, her needlework ex- quislte' all of which, coupled with hef soIe so good, she will present a perfect composition of taste and beauty

New York. April 4.-(Special.)- About three weeks ago I stated that gambling houses and pool-rooms were doing busi- ness as in the old days; and that the Knights of the Ball and Box had estab lished the necessary connection with the Reformers who run the machinery of government and municipal morality. The reported loss of one hundred thousand dollars by Reginald Vanderbilt has made the whole town talk. He is said to have lost it at Canfield's, the swellest gamb- ling house in the city. Perhaps he did and perhaps he did not. Sometimes com paratively small losses by conspicuous men are magnified for the purpose of ad- vertisement, just as when Charles schwab's play at Monte Carlo was made an advertisement for that establishment If the truth were told neither MT. Schwab nor Mir. Vanderbilt lost as much as other players do several times in the season.
 The police take the same position to- day in regard to these places as they did before the election. They complain of the impossibiity of securing evidence upon which to obtain warrants. District Attorney Jerome finds his office has no money to spend in this branch of work, and expresses himself as being doubt ful of the comptroller's disposition to pay any bills having this object in view. When MT. Jerome was on his famous crusade he was a candidate or an aspr- ant and behind him was a vice-commit- tee with ample funds. Evidence was se- cured, and the pollrooms and gambling houses put up their shutters. Today all goes as formerly, and will continue suppose until Tammany comes to the front to show how much evil f1ourishes under the Low administration, and that it is the only proper organization to con trol the Knights of the Ball and Box. Will the people ever learn that this Is all political buncombe?
 A few weeks ago l chanced to visit the Harlem Police Court, and watched the many curious types of humanity file up to the bar. My friend, Magistrate Poole one of the most experienced and able of the police magistrates was the bench that morning He said to me: q am go- Ing to introduce to you a young lady who belongs to a new profession-the charity worker. She comes to me with splendid letters, and I am thinking of appointing her probation officer " At this moment my attention was attracted by the approach or rosy raced, plump looking young woman of the average height My first mental expression was nf her splendid health. She seemed to exude A spirit of cheerfulness and exub- trant vitality in that court room, so crowded with moral miasma. This" said the judge Ifs Miss Eliot" We had , pleasant chat.

Young Ministers Unhappy Phrase.

From the Philadelphia Times.
 Dr. George C. Lorimer of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church. New York, when visiting Philadelphia recently, told this story:
 Tt is queer what liking young stud ents have for long words and Latin quo tations, and what dread possesses them of appearing conventional. l once knew a promising candidate who was gwen char9a of a funeral in the absence of the pastor of the church. He knew it was customary for the minister to announce after the sermon that those who wished should step up to view the remains, but he thought this was too hackneyed phrase, and he said instead:
 "' The congregation will now pass around the bier.'"

lenses often the outgrowth of bad habits and bad surroundings are committed to Miss Eliot. They must report to her on certain days, at a certain hour. Should they fail to do so on Miss Eliots state ment they are committed to the jail or , the workhouse. So far they are under the control of the court. This gives her power over them. The charity side of her work however, is to not use this controlling power SIS a punishment but as a means of helping her charge She is enabled to secure their confidence and through her efforts, she obtains help for them in one form or another. Escaping the contamination of prison life or the demoraliZation of institutions vet brought to the very threshold many be- ! ginners on the downward path, gladly take the help that is offered them and begin anew.
 But police magistrates sometimes by the requirements of the law, are forced to send prisoners along to the city pris- on for trial before higher courts. Wo- | men so sent were held in the Tombs. Among these women, working for their good. was Mrs. Foster. She earned for herself a grand title: "The Angel of the Tombs" Recently she died, a victim of the Park Avenue Hotel fire. She was mourned by judges and prisoners. But the work she had done had become of great importance to the judges. Afte a woman had been tried, and had been convicted, the judge sent for Mrs Foster to ascertain such facts concerning the character and temperament of the pris- oner as she might know. What Mrs. Foster said carried great weight with the judges They miss her now. Look ing about them they decided to make T
 place. in the prison and they did so. Miss Eliot has been appointed to fill it. What grander work could Mrs. Foster have done? She not only did a noble work of charity, but forced the recognition of the work as an important branch of the criminal court. Indeed. the good work she did was not for a day, or for years. but for all time. Unaided, single handed, she accomplished, at her own expense by the noble force of example, work that scientific, philanthropic societies could not have brought about with a score of meetings. and by hundreds of dollars.
 Some amusement was created by the mayors request to the tax assessors that he be taxed on s57,OO0 During the cam paign it was stated that MT. Seth Low, through his counsel MT.
