BRUMMEL's GHOSTS,
Pathetic Picture Of the Great Beau
In His Qaeadenca


We are more familiar with the pic
ture of Beau Brummel in the days OF
his prosperity than in his decadence
Here is pathetic glimpse of the last
phase at Caen, when the old mans
mind had begun to give way under the
accumulated stress of pcnury and in
gratitude:
Sometimes he thought he ought to
give party, so he would arrange the
apartment, set out the candles and get
the house attendant to be with him.
At O'Clock this man would OpeE the
door OF the room and announce the
Duchess Of DevOnshire' At the sound
of this name Brummcl would rise from
his chair and greet the cold air from
the staircase as though 1t were the
beautiful duchess herself making his
most cOurtly bow and saying: 'Ah.
my dear duchess, how rejoiced am
to see you-sO very amiable Of YOU at
this short notice! Pray. bury yourself
In this armchair! DO you know. it was
a gift to me from the Duchess Of York,
who was Il very kind friend of mine;
but. poor thing. she is now no more.
Then, his eyes filling with tears, be
would sink into his chair, looking va
cantiy into the fire until Lord Alvan-
ley, Lord Allen, the Duke of Beaufort
or some other old friend was ushered
in. At 10 the attendant announced the
carriage Of each invisible visitor and
this ghostly party would cOnclude."--

BIRDS BACK IN MONTCLAIR

on the Crescent to-day. Thousands Of star

had been scared away after the shotgun
slaughter of the feathered hosts OH this
thoroughfare by an authorized agent Of the
town one night last week have returned
10 their former haunts. and the fashionable
residents Of the Crescent are in despair.
The birds returned last night. and on one
tree where one OF the Crescent residents
had hung a bell. with which he thought to
scare away the unwelcome guests, they
gathered in numbers sufficiently strong 10
keep the bell toing all night by their very
weight The people in the neighborhood
believe the birds rang the bell to let them
know that they were not strangers.
Any suggestions rs TO how the returning
crowds shall be treated will receive due
consideration from 0pe Crescent residents,
but no more shooting will be done. The
people think the birds have read the papers
and find that the sentiment Of the com
