SHOES AT $1,000 A PAIR.
Physician CobbIer of New York WHO
Has Stuck to His Last to
Some Purpose.

Shoes selling at 81 900 pair are the
product of factory in New York.
To style it shop would be to insult
the artisans employed therein.
They call it 'footgear institute"
and the proprietor goes by no less title
than curative orthopedist," says the
New York Herald.
The wearing of these $1,000 shoes is,
in the main, a hobby, and is based On
nerves gone wrong.
For there are some persons, 1t seems,
who are plagued with sensitive nerves
in their feet which ache so excruciat-
tngly that nothing can assuage the pain
but shoes prescribed" by physician
cobbler.
The learned cobbler listens to a tale
Of the ache, with attending nervous dis
turbances, and examines the patients
feet with critical scrutiny.
Every hill and dale of the foot is in
spected and studied, and especially is
a sharp lookout kept for the sensitive
nerves, which ultimately are sure to be
found.
A volume of notes is taken and the
prospective customer naturally be-
comes impressed with the severity OF
his ailment.
Next, and what Is very important, a
plaster cast Of the foot is taken, and ii
the patients purse is proportional tc

lects and Contributes q Course.

A young society matron Of Philadel-
phia has Instituted a novel sort of din
ner. Ten young women have formed
themselves into sort Of club, the mis-
sion of which is to give very elaborate
dinner once a month. The dinners are
held at the different members houses,
but the hostess provides the servants
and the flowers only. The novelty Of
the club is in the way the food is pro-
vided.
Each girl is intrusted with one course
Of the menu. 1t is her duty to decide
what it shall be and arrange with the
cook as to how she wishes it to be served
When all the guests are seated at the
table, the butler announces every course
by the title Of the young woman who or
dered and paid for 1t. There are charm
ing little menus, too, on which is writ
ten "Soup a la Marie Wharton, "''Roti a
la Edith Burden" ETC., which show who
was responsible for every course.
The interest that is shown in the
preparation and eating of these club
dinners is very striking. Each girl tries
to make her course the best and most
popular, and In the evening votes are
cast as to which was the most success

CLEVELAND NOT A CANDIDATE,
The Ex-President Writes . Letter Sayina
He Does Not Desire to BE Pros
ident Again.

New York, Nov. 28-Grover Cleve-
land has sent the following letter te
the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle:
princeton, N. j., Nov. 25.-My Deal
Mr.. McKelway: l have wanted for q
long time to say something which
think should be said to you before
others. You can never know how
grateful l am for the manifestation Oh
kindly feeling toward me on the par
of my countrymen which your initiative
has brought out. Your advocacy in
the Eagle of my nomination for the
presidency came to me as great sur
prise; and it has been seconded in
such manner by democratic sentiment
that conflicting thoughts of gratitude
and duty have caused me to hesitate
as to the time and manner of dec
laration on my part concerning the
subject if such declaration should
seem necessary or proper.
TN the midst of it all and in full
view of every consideration presented,
I have not for a moment been able,
nor am now able, to open my mind to
the thought that in any circumstance
or upon any consideration l should
ever again become the nominee of my
party for the presidency. My deter
mination not to do so is unalterable
and conclusive. This you, at least,
ought to know from me, and l should
he glad if the Eagle were made the me-
dunn of it's conveyance to the public.
Very sincerely yours.-Grover Cleve-

rounded by curtains of fine linen made
expressly for the model from Egyptian

Sixty pillars of pure silver uphold the

Pauperixation of Heirs.

A man recently died leaving about
100000 to Harvard outright and less
than $500 q year to his children. Har-
ward has no objection, but the children
are yet to be heard from. Some people
advocate 6 law forbidding any insti-
buttons to receive more than a fixed
per centage of any mans fortune and
giving his legal heirs a ratable lien
on the rest. This Is not exactly feas-
ible, but public opinion should suffice
to prevent institutions from prospecting
