coincidence that the late war with

the War OF the Rebellion, which began

began April q. 1898, and ended April
IL, 1899. These are some of the more
important things which have taken
place In the month of April, and many
of the events have been of deep import
from the viewpoint of Americans.
What reason can you assign for the
conspicuous part April has played in
the history of America? Do men feel
more like fighting in April than in the
other months of the year? Is the spirit

for the happening of these great

nowadays, though there seems to be
no tangible reason why.
Anyway, it is up front again, for a
little time at least, through a new gift
of $4,000 or $4,000 for the building of
Roman Catholic Church for the Ital-
ians by Adrian Iselin in New Rochelle,
the suburb in which Mr.. Iselin lives.
OF itself this item isn't of so great
consequence, but it counts more when
it is understood that it rounds out a
full three-quarters of a million given
by Mr.. Iselin, who is a Protestant, for
the building of Catholic churches with
in the past twenty years.
In it's way the Iselin family is one
of the most interesting in all New
York. OF Swiss stock. its speciality,
like that of another famous Swiss fam
ily-the Drexels of Philadelphia-is
banking.
Mr.. Iselin's generosity to the Roman
Catholic Church arises from the fact
that his wife was a Catholic. 1t is
coincidence that the Drexels, too,
are divided in allegiance between the
Roman and the Protestant faiths.
Such family divisions among the, rich
of these days, however, are not rare.

religion. William R. Grace, ex-May-
or of New York, is a Catholic, while
his wife is a Baptist, but their children
were brought up in the faith of the
father Many similar instances might
be cited.
Concerning Mr. Iselin it may be said
that his generosity has in no wise been
confined to the church. He has al
ways been especially liberal to his coun-

York Swiss Club, though rarely counte-

The adjournment of Congress is al
ways followed by the appearance on
the streets of the metropolis of a num-
Der of it's members whose business in
terests center largely here, no matter
what state they represent in Senate
or House.
One of these is Senator Stephen B.
Elkins, of West Virginia. Mr.. Elkins
was a regal resident of New York for
some years, and this town looks as
homelike to him as any place on earth.
Not many persons remember how Ell
kins got his start in life, though the
story is a good one.
He was an Ohio boy originally, but
while still a young man went to New
Mexico. giving up a teachers place
in Kansas City for a SIS a month Job
with a cattle rancher.
Before doing this he had learned
Spanish and this made him popular
with the natives of his new field OF
action. He had not been there long
before he set about the task of abo1-

it is said, he substantiated peonage
charges in about 10000 cases, and, as
the government fee in each case was
$25, his personal return was not
far from quarter of million dollars.
Henry Cabot Lodge is another
Senator who is often to be seen here,
whether the Senate is in session or
not. His appointment as one of the
American commissioners to consider
the Alaskan boundary question makes
him more of an interesting figure than
ever before even.
Mr.. Lodge is not the best dressed
man in the Senate by any means, but
there is no doubt that he wears his
clothes better than any other senator
Indeed. there are few men anywhere
upon whom first-class sartorial adorn-
ments seem to set with greater fitness
Lodge is often spoken of as a young
man. and so he is in these days, es-
pecially if judged by senatorial stand
ards. But half a century ago he would
have been termed "old" by nearly
everybody and even now. there are
persons who speak of men of his age

ty-two or fifty-three if he is a day,

Lakewood, distance of seventy miles.
In the inner circles of coaching ac-
tivity that means a good deal. In the
first place, whoever has a coaching
for-pleasure route in charge lin this
case one James H. HYDE, must spend
a lot of money and time in his prepara-
tons. To handle such route salts
factorily, you must have a horse to
every mile of the road, and Mr.. Hyde
has been having his own trouble get
ting the seventy powerful animals he
needs. 1t was printed a day or two
ago that he still had thirty to get, but
that he expected to start with his
stables full.
1t is no secret that only the rich
can go in for coaching, and the single
item of seventy horses required to haul
this one coach from New York to
Lakewood one day and back the next
is enough to- account for this.
If the horses cost 5000 apiece, the
capital invested in them will be $14,-
900, to say nothing of the amount re-
quired for running expenses through
out the season. Some of this will be
made up by the fees charged to pas
.sengers, but the deficit account of each
of the so-called public coaches out
of New York each year is understood
TO be considerable.
Coaching. as sport, began in New
York little less than thirty years ago.
One day Col. William Jay,
a descendent of the famous Jay who
was diplomatist in Washington's time,
and himself fighting man in the Civil
War, took notice on Fourth avenue of
an old-fashioned road choach which had
been put away to fall in pieces from
disuse. Jay made some inquiries and
bought the coach. The result was the
formation of the first coaching club
in America. James Gordon Bennett,
owner of the New York Herald was
a member; Leonard w. Jerome, father
of New York's present strenuous dis
trict attorney, was another; the late
A. Thorndike Rice, then editor of the
North American Review, was a third.
There were other names of great
social weight in the first list of mem
bers, but no more of them who count
ed heavily with the general public.
The coaching club of to-day, however,
includes among it's members many
men of consequence in the world of
affairs. A. J. Cassat, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. is among
them, so are William G. Whitney and
four or five Vanderbilts, two or three
Belmonts, a few Morgans. some
Roosevelts, and nearly all the living
Vanderbilt sons-in-law.
The public coaches were not put on
till some years after the formation of
the coaching club. theoretically, the
public coaches are for the use of any
one who is willing TO put up the price
for a seat. Practically, though, the
passenger on any Of the so-called
"publics" who doesn't belong to the
coaching set-the outsider-is likely 70
have a pretty dreary trip.
IL Is expected that al least a dozen
public coaches will be IN operation here
this season. and the total investment
IN coaches. horses, etc, will be a pref
" big sum.

made here the other day by CARROLL D.
Wright. United States labor commits
sioner, in which he urged greater in
dustrial freedom for the women, even
if this should bring about fewer mar
riages and more divorces, has caused
comments a-plenty, besides reViving
several anecdotes about him.
Once. when Wright was serving I'M
der President Cleveland, the labor
commissioner was misled by lot of
judges, senators, representatives, plain
politicians and other influential citi-
zens into giving an appointment to one
VINO turned out to be an ex-convict
and a pretty bad man. OF course, the
newspapers said hard things about
Wright in consequence.
But did he stand for it? Not Dit.
The very next day he dismissed the
new appointee and sent out over the
country a list of those who had rec
commended him. Since then, they say,
men of influence have been careful
about their recommendations to that
department.
Another Wright anecdote is told to
illustrate his sometimes humorsome
methods of getting around difficulties
placed in his way by petty persons.
When quite young he was chairman
of the committee on music of GER
tain church. AS usual, the contralto
and the soprano singers were not on
the best of terms. One Easter Sunday
he unwittingly gave to the soprano
much longer solo than the one assign
ed to the contralto. The latter coTn-
planned of this to Mr.. Wright.
WELL" said he, I'll tell you what
I'll do; I'm not much of a musical ex-
pert, but I'm great on equalizing hg-
ures I've measured the length of the
soprano solo to-day very carefully and
before the month is out l shall see that
your solos equal hers TO the eighth of

incident.
