A UNIQUE CLUB AFFAIR.
Mrs. Il. c. Mitchell Entcrtains at
Her Home in Italy

On the afternoon of February 22d
al O'Clock the home of Mrs, R. c.
Mitchell at Italy was the scene of
mirth. The windows and doors be
ing darkened, the house presented
somber but beautiful appearance in
the soft glow of candle-light, with
the patriotic flags and the celebrated
Ratchet and cherry decorations.
Mrs. Mitchell was at home to the
Fort-Nightly club in honor of Mrs.
7. X. Lawrence of Bryan. Mesdames
Mitchell, Lawrence, Eastman,
Couch, Born and Cheatham compos-
ed the house party. After the arri-
val of all the guests they were ush-
cred into the elegant dining room,
where the high relief frozen figures
of Washington glistened in the mel
low glow of candle light, which
shone from golden candelabra.
The Ratchet and cherry scheme
was carried out in the table decora-
tons, miniature cherry stumps with
cherries, Ratchet and Washington S
bible heightened the already pretty
effect. Angel food loaves with chrys-
talized cherries were served with the
ices.
Carnations and hatchets were Civ
en- as favors. A pleasant surprise
awaited each guest. The handle of
each Ratchet was loaded with pa
triotic question. At the request of
the hostess, Mrs. Bledsoe read a pa
triotic selection to the accompani-
ment of national airs played by Miss
Fannie Mitchell.
After a short interval of pleasant
chatting tally cards with the Ratchet
and cherries, emblematic of the oc-
casion, were given to each guest by
Miss Fannie, who in a very gracious
manner kept tally till it was time
to bid adieu to the hostess and hon
Gree. Each guest babe a reluctant
farewell, declaring justice had been
done the Father of Our Country"
the hostess and the honoree, and
only longed for another birthday; if
such pleasant and unique occasion
would be repeated. A GUEST.

The Payton Sisters.

An advance notice says: Good
plays, like angelic visitations, are
rare things nowadays. Dramatiza
lions of well known books are I'M
satisfactory from the fact the climax
is a foregone conclusion and many
of the things we admire in story
are necessarily left out in the dram
atiZation. Some of the lighter plays
have no plot to speak of, only few
situations on which to hang special
ties. but the Payton Sisters have
been SO fortunate as to secure a new
play with a plot and situations the
like of which occur in no other. In
The Man Outside, the plot is of
such nature that although the hero
confesses to the robbery in the sec
ond act it only deepens the mystery
which is not solved until the last
speech of the play, the story holding
the audience spell-bound in interest
until the final curtain of the last
act. There is an abundance of come
dy which is a part of the story, en-
tirely consistent and very funny.
This great play will be produced
at the Shelton opera house Monday
night by the Payton Sisters company
which is large, capable one, and a
performance first class in every par
ticular is assured.

GOSSIP OF NEW YORK.


New York, Feb. 29.-When Les
lie M. Shaw abandoned his honored
and honorable position as secretary
of the United States treasury, to cast
his lot with the bovines and Teddy
bears of Wall street, his admirers
out in 1oway predicted for him a
brilliant future as financier. Truth
to tell, Mr.. Shaw has not made
good-not, at least, according to the
Wall street standard. He has resign
ed his $4,000 year job as presi-
dent of the Carnegie Trust company
and will retire tomorrow. Ostensibly
this action was due to his desire to
become president of the United
States. Praiseworthy as is this am
bition, the financiers receive this ex-
PLANTATION with grain of salt. Mr..
shaw is by no means a fool, and he
probably knows that his chance of
landing the plum is about as remote
as that Of Eugene v. Debs or Emma
1OluH!dI.
Mr.. Shaw apparently realizes that
he has not been successful in assim-
Hating the Wall street atmosphere
necessary to the profitable conduct
of great financial institution. This
is not to his Disqualification the
reverse. While he has never had an
open quarrel with his associates in
the management of the trust COM
pany, there have been constant diff
ferences of opinion. These finally led
to the flat-footed proposition that he
could either buy out or sell out. He
accepted the latter proposition.
While Mr.. Shaw's Wall street ex-
perience has been unsatisfactory to
his colleagues, it has not been with
out profit to himself. His one years
incumbency as president of the Car

Memorial to Saint Gaudens.

A public meeting this afternoon
serves as an Introductory to the
memorial exhibition of the works of
the late Augustus Saint Gaudens, to
be opened in the newly modelled hall
of sculpture at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art on Monday. Aside
from the sentimental aspect of the
exhibition, it will serve to refute the
statement of foreign critic that
America has produced no great
sculptor. Gazing upon the collection
of the masterpieces of Saint Gaud-
ems, the detractor of American art
will find an unanswerable argument
to his calumnies.
The exhibits will embrace the en-
tire range of the genius of Saint
Gaudens, from his first notable stat
ne, Silence, completed at Rome in
1873, to his latest work, a seated
figure Of Lincoln, which is to be
placed in Chicago. Many of the ORR
ginal statues have been loaned by
the owners and others will be shown
