roses were entwined in the bower which
led into the ballroom.
All around the ballroom the chairs
were tied together in pairs by bows OF
red ribbon. and huge Australian ferns
hung down at intervals along the bal
cony rail.
The ballroom stage, on which the or
chestra was stationed. was bank of red
azaleas and poinsettias on the left, and
on the right Easter lilies. White chrys-
anthemums and aZaleas were the features
of the decoration. thus bringing out point
eddy the entire color scheme of red and
white.
But the great sensation OF the ball was
the display of birds and fishes

BETTING an affair of such luxury the
favors at this ball were worth a small
fortune. They included silver cigarette

and scent bottles.

acquired the conviction that many of the
so-called manifestations were merely
humbug He consequently withdrew
from the society. He says that Prof.
Sir William Crookes detailed to him far
more wonderful phenomena than those
described by Sir Oliver, but while 1t was
irnpossible to doubt Sir William Croolses
word he was compelled to remain a skep-
tic because he had not seen the same
things himself.
The spiritualists are profoundly stirred
by Sir divers statements, and they are
eagerly awaiting the results of the further
Investigations the society is making under
conditions which, it is contended, will pre-
vent any possibility of deception. Until
these are concluded the details of the
manifestations to which Sir Oliver re-
ferred in his statements yesterday will

BANKS MAY SUE FOR ISLANDER
Two Institutions Complain Of At
tacks on Credit.

NEW YORK, February 1.-Two of the
smaller banks of the city have turned
over to lawyers aff1davits which are ex-
pected to form the basis of Islander suits
against other banks or at least officers
of other banks. One Of the banks which
may be defendant is one of the largest
institutions in the clearing house, the
aggrieved institution in this case being
q small national bank on lower Broad
way. The other aggrieved institution IL
a bank in the Bronx. which insists that
an officer of a Harlem bank Is respon-
sible for run upon it,
The cause of the complaint is similar
in both cases. 1t is alleged that the Of
ficers complained of gave utterance to ex.
pressions rejecting on the credit Of the
compliments and causing Withdrawals Of
deposits from them.

BOSTON. February lone hundred en-
ployes of the Draper Company who live
in the houses owned by the company have
been notified that their rents would be
reduced 80 per cent. the reduction to be

ditiou of the country which has caused
the factory to run fewer hours.
The men affected are those who have
been working forty hours week.

WHITEBAIT DINNER.

LONDON. February 1.-The Ship
Tavern. one of the most famous of Lon

ministry. 12O years ago. that he intro
duced the custom of the yearly gathering
together at the close of the parliamentary
session the cabinet ministers, the Judges
of the high court and other members OF
the government to partake of banquet
at the Ship Tavern, Greenwich, known as
the ministerial whitehall dinner It's
feature was the whitehall. a small fish
or which Greenwich is famous. and
which is considered a great delicacy.
1t is eaten with cayenne pepper, lemon
juice and brown bread and butter
The custom of the ministerial white
bait dinner at the Ship Tavern was con-
instituted by Pitt until 1880. After that
time the custom was not observed regu-
larly and ten years ago it fell into entire
disuse.

Zeal for Learning In Ireland.

An Irish question, hitherto unno-
ticed, has become pressing. A great
library to which students, teachers and
the general public can have access is
an almost Indispensable feature among
the institutions of a capital city con-
tanning, as Dublin will do, two uniyer-
stiles. But as things are, no such IL
brary will be available in Dublin.
The staff and the reading-room &C
commodation Of Trinity College, Dub
lin, are both severely tried by the
needs Of the university alone, and
there is practically no room for outsld-
ers. Then there Is the National Ii
brary Of Ireland, which, considering its
slender resources. has done splendid
work, but 1t has only $3.50 a year to
buy books, and its available space Is
sometimes so crowded that n may see
readers perched on ladders around the
reading-room or two sharing a single
chair-circumstances which certainly
testify to a remarkable zeal for learn
ing in modern Ireland. The average
daily attendance is between $50 and
7OO
