TT. WALSH'S SOCIAL CAMPAIGN

Whether the present season at Newport
be gay or not, 1t will have one interesting
feature which has been lacking for several
years. newcomer OF great wealth Is
there to spend his money In return for the
pleasures and distinctions which Newport
Is able to supply.
The newcomer Is Thomas F. Walsh, who
has established himself in Washington and
later in Paris Newport is looked upon as
possible step toward New York, and one
OF the marble palaces on upper Fifth ave-
nue. is the aim Of the Walsh family II the
Newport campaign proves successful.
Minor sociologists have discovered that
arrivals in Newport do not take 80 long
as they used to. One Western family that
finally realized its ambitions there after
seven summers was thought at the time to
have made rapid progress. The last Sue
ccsstul campaign found it's subjects firmly
established after two seasons.
Mr.. Walsh has taken Beaulieu, which Is
leased now by Cornelius Vanderbilt from
", W. Aston, and which has been the scene
OF some Of the most noted Newport en-
tertainments Mr.. Walsh took this house
for two months at a rental OF $50, 900 for
the season.
Mr., Walsh has at present two Newport
villas on his hands, The first was rented
through an agent before Mrs. Walsh had
the chance to examine it. 1t Is one OF the
most spacious of the Newport homes. But
twas not large enough to serve as the scene
Of the social campaign Mrs. Walsh had
planned. Although unable to get rid OF the
lease of the house he had first taken, MIR.

80 large that the Nanderbilts Immediately
accepted it and the Vanderbilt servants
were moving their family possessions out OF
The hack doors while the Walsh luggage was
accunuiatng on the lawn.
Tho Washes appeared on the social hori-
9on first in 1900, when it was told In Paris
Chat the Western millionaire had determined
to spend his monthly income Of $4,000 in
entertaining his friends.
President Mckinley appointed him
commissioner to the Paris exposition. With
his wife and two children he moved to Paris
and took half the ElysGo Palace Hotel. He
received there throughout the summer
hot only his compatriots but many foreign
ers OF distinction. 1t was during that sum-
mer that he became acquainted whit the King
o Belgium. The relation was not merely on
business basis and It was the friendship
OF this much discussed monarch that opened
10 the Walsh family the doors OF many old
french families, In the middle OF July, whom

inserted In tho paper, and following them
came a crowd of tho poor with axes and
baskets, and the scenic effects were do
stroyed and used as bonfires.
One of the most expensive outfits that Is
purchased for any production Is the one
provided for the circus that comes yearly
to Madison Square Garden and then starts
out on its annual visit through the country
II Is a great mistake to suppose that the
materials for circus trappings are cheap
stuffs, quite the contrary. FOR the circus
has had to keep pace with and even 90
beyond other spectacular Efforts. IL Is
no unusual thing for the wardrobe woman
who has charge of these matters to spend
$l5 or $50 yard for velvets or satins, and
trimmings rarely fall below IS or 50 yard.
An elephant Ia frequently fifteen feet tall,
and his cover may contain fifty yarrs, and
s15 yard Ia not an exorbitant price.
What becomes of all this, the gold bullion,
the silver ornaments, the velvet and the
brocades that can stand alonef
In q great storage warehouse In Bridge
port, Conn, which would cover tho entire
block where Madison Square Garden Is
situated, all the costumes that have been
used in the circus for the last thirty years
are packed away in great boxes. Nothing
is ever sold or auctioned of; It is one Of the
traditions Of the show, and 40 year after
year they accumulate, enough money being
spent in moth balls and camphor alone to
run a smaller circus and then have margin
of profit
And yet, say circus officials and theatrical
managers, what is gained by putting up
stage properties at auction after a play has
run its course? There Is not enough gained
to pay for the advertising and the running
expenses.
At no time was this test shown more con-
clusively than when the Daily stage articles
we're sold; they were largely advertised
for weeks; the newspapers had been filled
with accounts Of them; it was we'll known,
not only in tho profession but to the public
at large, that Daily was an connoisseur,
that what he used on the stage had not
only the merit of being the right thing in
tho right place, but mad either an historic
or sterling value. 1t made no difference
in the total. A tankard which was used in
the Merry Wives of windsor a beautiful
old affair for which Daily haG paid 5000,
sold under the hammer for sligo.
When it comes to selling of costumes
and accessories the talo Of wo Is more
heartrending. Second hand shops whose
closets and shelves are filled with the pro-
auctions which have done service for a
season or less. and arc fresh as ever, could

He Ind made fortune before that time
He was born in Tipperary in 1851 and AFTER
he had studied for short time in the Puoio
aohools learned the trade Of millwright.
He was 10 when he came to the United
States and went directly to the West, ex-
pecting to work at his trade in Colorado.
He soon turned his attention to :he study
OF mining. He learned 1t practically az
the works and studied 1t theoretically
peglecting nothing that could be OF any
advantage to him In his work. 1t was the
knowledge acquired in this way that en-.
abled him to introduce new methods OF
treatment Of ores in Colorado. His ex-
periments In mining always met with success
and he developed and equipped the Camp
Bird Mine according to his own ideas.
Mr.. Walsh Is member OF the Cosmos
and Metropolitan clubs In Washington

cities. He married Mrs. Walsh. who was
