MRS. STUYvEsANT FISH.
Something About the Best Known
New York Society Woman.

From the New Broadway Magazine.
Though her husband is justly cele-
brated as a railroad king and defer of
Hartman. yet his fame does not domi-
nate in his family, for his wife is the
one whose name is most upon the popu-
lar tongue. Probably more is known of
her character. customs. eccentricities. likes
and dislikes than those of any other wom-
an, from coast to coast She has an
intense personality. If she enters a,
room, no matter how crowded. every one
knows it: when she leaves, she seems to
take something with her out of the So
cial atmosphere. She has individuality is
outspoken. capricious, witty and brilliant
Whatever she does or says is utterly I'M
like what any one else does or says, and
she is never ordinary. Yet it is almost
certain that she couldn't be a supreme
leader. She is reckoned too childlike to
control others
Another thing that would handicap Mrs
: Fish is the fact that her husband is not
in sympathy with her social life. man
Of letters who knows him we'll said to
him:
will you tell me one thing truly? Did
your wife really take a monkey to din
ner?"
II don't know what particular mon
key she added to the list OF dinner guests
they were all there he replied.
II the set that must be amused at any
cost makes Mrs. Fish its leader. there are
chances that it may overrue the efforts
and desires of the saner and better ele-
ment But here is. at least harm
less set The viciousness that has been
imputed to 1t by preachments does not
exist. There was no harm in giving that
dinner. of which everybody has heard. at
Mrs. Fish's house burlesquing the Rus
sian Grand Duke Boris and his preten-
sions. The same thing could have been
done in any house less conspicuous to
rounds of applause and laughter from
even dignihsd people; but under the cir
cumstances it angered and irritated a
great number of the New York set.
Mrs. Fish always get the popular Ameri-
can vote, because she is the loyalest
American of them all. She believes firmly
that nothing on the other side of the
water equals what is on this side. and 1t
was this feeling, far more than any de-
sire for revenge, that led her to give the
burlesaue Boris dinner. Kowtowing is
not in her line.

STAGE GOWNS AND
WHAT THEY COST

What is claimed to be one Of the great
forces working against the artistic sue
cess Of the American stage of to-day Is
the great expenditure Of money for costly
stage dresses. Although the productions
Of recent years have all been more or
less conspicuous for the reason that they
were costly, both as to scenic and cos
tune display. it is really during the
present season that stage gowns have
been made so much Of a stoCk-in-trade as
TO bring forth all sorts Of expressions as
to their merits, or the lack of such d
possession.

Vacuum Dust RemOvers Are Coming
Into Vogue OF Late.

From the London Lancet.
The broom threatens soon to be as OBJ

Judging from the number Of vacuum
dust removers which are being placed
upon the market The change is one
which must meet with the unqualified
approval OF all who know what a breed

of houses. Every housewife who is pos
sessed of clearly instincts should well
come an apparatus which removes dust

evidence Of an eminently practical char

disease; there could hardly be more eff

view of its application
The broom may clean the surface of a

The great and important difference be

TRIBUTE TO A TEACHER.
Fruitful Life of quiet Professor in

From the Richmond Ncws-LeadeT.
Tt is very rarely that a human life is so
long. so fruitful. so useful, and so beau

of Furman University, at Greenville, S.
c.. who died at the age of eighty-six.
Prof. Juds0n had been a teacher At Fur
man University nearly ifty-five years.
Il is q delightful fact that one of the
crowning honors of his long life came
I'm its last month, when he was chosen
as one Of the members of the Carnegie
Foundation and put on the short honor
roll OF teachers who have won gratitude
and honor by exceptionally long, able,
and faithful service. He was never a
conspicuous man even in his own COM
munity, held no public Office, and rarely
appeared in the newspapers. Yet in his
quiet and remote little university he did
work which made him known in the up
per and inner circles of college and uni
versity life throughout the world. He
was recognized as one Of the most pro-
found and brilliant mathematCians in
this country, ranking with the very first.
In his long career thousands of young
men came under his influence, aad that

was one of the most magnificent gifts in

and few men have used such opportuni-
ties so wisely and faithfully as he did.
Achieving no widespread fame, during
fifty years Of struggling, of anxious care
for the very life OF the institution with
which he labOred from its humbIest be-
ginning he has sent out year after year

FATHER OF ALFALFA.
Death Of the Man who Introduced
the Plant in This Country.
From the Kansas City Journal

From The Kansas City Journal
Under a Topeka date line comes the
announcement in a hve-line dispatch that
Harrison Parkman, who first brought
alfalfa from South America and planted
it in the United States. is dead. aged
seventy-three years. With this simple
statement is dismissed the life Of
man who was truly a public benefactor.
The old saying is true that "he who
makes two blades of grass 10 grow
where only one grew before is public
benefact0r." What could be a proper
measure OF the benefaction conferred
by n man who made the Western desert,
once as bare as a mans hand, bloom
with verdure?
Alfalfa has proved to be the salvation
in material way of the farmers Of
Western Kansas. Nebraska. Colorado
New Mexico, and Arizona-in brief. Of all
that vast section of country which was
formerly described in the Biographies
lis the Great American Desert. IT is
the one sure crop that saves the farmers
in that region from ruin The brave and
hardy spirits who first essayed the task
Of converting this bare and arid soil TO
mans uses encountered hardships that
tried mems souls to the utmost and
these pioneers suffered privations beside
which those of the Argonauts and the
arctic explorers seem almost Ike petty
trials. But gradually they overCame
obstacles that seemed insuTmountable
and to-day all that once arid country
blossoms ike the rose with rich returns
for mans labor In achieving this Won
derfuI triumph over nature. alfalfa was
the most conspicuous factor with its
heavy crops repeated twice and three
times in year. The man who brought
this priceless boon 70 aid the pioneers in
the West may not have thought he was
doing anything remarkable OF worthy of
fame. but judged in the light Of the good
ne did. he deserves monument TO his
memory far more than the worlds heroes
who are known by the thousands they
slew OF led to slaughter TO crafty the
caprice or grudge Of kings.
