._—-.L “AnuuBUNETBAsEDY. HOW GREELEY LOST CONTROL OF 2 THE PAPER HE MADE FAMOUS. The l‘l'ew York Sun, Whose Editor Was a (Jo—laborer with Greeley on the Tribune, Finds that Retributive Justice Has Overtaken One of the Conspirators. There comes back to the Sun some- how just now the old story of Horace Greeley’s expulsion from the Tribune oflice by the man he had befriended and made, his bewildered grief at the discovery of treachery and selfish greed where he had expected to find consolation and support, and then speedily his tragic death. The incident is the most pathetic in the whole his- tory °of American journalism. Poor Greeley! The grass has grown brown and green again for a quarter of a cen- tury over the grave into which he was assisted by the hand which he trusted and to which he reached out for help in a supreme hour of misfortune. The narrative has been recited many times in private and several times in public; never, to our recollection, more tersely and eflfectively than by Mr. James G. Clark a few years ago in the Stockton Mail: Mr. Greeley had been defeated 1n the Presidential campaign, and had just lost his faithful wife, at whose bedside he watched day and night, going with- out sleep for over a week—until the end. It was about this time that an edi- torial article appeared in the Tribune reviewing the campaign. It was writ- ' ten in Mr. Greeley’s peculiar style; and reflected severely upon old friends for whom he entertained none but the kind- »liest feelings now that the battle was overand lost. “Greatly to Mr. Greeley’s grief and mortification it was widely copied and credited to the defeated candidate for the Presidency. He wrote a disclaimer saying he knew nothing of the editorial till he saw it in print, and that he greatly regretted its appearance. “He sent the correction to the ofiice, ordering its prompt publication. It was not published, and he sent another message Which shared the fate of the first. He then-trotted down to the ofiice and upstairs, where he called the fore 51mm and asked him to print the dis claimer 1n the next issue. “The foreman answered: ‘Mr. Gree- -‘ey, it is the most painful task of my whole life to tell you that I am in- structed by Mr. Reid, who has lately . been elected editor-in- chief of the Tri- bune, to take no copy from your hands.’ “The poor old man gasped for breath as the truth dawned upon him, and .ex- claimed from the depths of an already stricken and overburdened heart: ‘Well, I am of no more use" in the Tribune, and I guess ‘I am of no more use any- where.’ “No wonder that the next act in the drama took place in an insane hospital, and that a few weeks later the curtains lifted and revealed a new made grave. This is the true story of the Tribune tragedy.’ Such is the story as it has been told. The exaCt measure of the Hon. White- law Reid’s personal responsibility for the overthrow of Horace Greeley’s mind and the destruction of his body can be known only to Mr. Reid’s own conscience. The Hon. Whitelaw Reid has made during the past twenty five years multitudes of friends whom he has not betrayed. There are many in- stances in which confidence reposed in him has not been violated. After a de- cent period of time he erected at the doorway of~the Tribune building a fine bronze statue of Horace Greeley, sitting in a bronze chair and looking over Printing House Square toward the West that had given him Whitelaw Reid. In recalling this somewhat unpleas- ant pasttlorgotten by many, remem- bered by few, we wonder if the time has come for the erection of a bronze Whitelaw Reid, to sit in a bronze chair at the other side of the Tribune’s por- tal, bearing Horace Greeley company in the pathetic exclusion which ingrati- tude has contrived and selfish intrigue accomplished. After Greeley, Whites law Reid; after Whitelaw Reid, Mil- holland. Justice proceeds with meas- ured steps, but sometimes she registers her decrees in a strikingly dramatic fashion. And when we say that by a refinement of retributive fate White: law Reid has encountered at last the same humiliating notice of supercedure, and the same unexpected disclosure of his powerlessness to use the columns of his own newspaper for his own pur— poses and response to his own proper impulses, we judge strictly according to recent events within our knowledge. —-New York, Sun.

Buttons. Bathing Suits and Bonnets Claim, 0110' s Attention Just Now. ' Published by special arrangement with tile New York Sun. Anything strikingly new in fashio " ' is almost out of the question until t3 :nmmer wanes, but slight variations of .tyle in trimming and design are con- -inually coming into notice, and the -1sual eflect of time on the early modes, which is sure to bring softer colors”, bet- ter harmony, and less exaggeration, is very apparent this season. In ' all the atest wool and taffeta silk gowns the“ iiminuticn.in size of " sleeves and full- 1033 of skirts is very decided, but in all he thin gowns th'e skirts are still very 1111, with plenty of decoration in the ray of insertions of lace both in the seams and around the bottom, or rufv les set on straight around or in scal- ;ops. Small bows of ribbon are used with the festooned‘ flounces to finish each point, and rows of velvet, ribbon, with sometimes three colors on one skirt, are also one of the phases of skirt trimming. The old fashion of tucks has been revived in the muslin and ba- tiste gowns, and one pretty dress of mauve spotted muslin has three one- inch tucks around the skirt, commenc- ing fully four or five inches from the- bottom, and each one headed by a quil- ling of narrow lace edging. Insertions of lace trim the seams, and lime-green ribbon forms the .belt and collar. The bodice has a band of insertion down the middle of the front and back, and the material, which is tucked, is arranged on either side so that the tucks slant to narrow lace edges each one. The lower :leeve of tucked bands and slanting rows of the insertion is without lining, .nd the short puff fit the top does not side the outline of the arm on the in- side. Wrinkled sleeves of silk, as well as of thin materials, are especially good style, with a short puff or spa ulette- shaped pieces at the top, and they are extremely becoming to a thin arm, but elbow puffs are really the most popular sleeve for muslin gowns. Round bodices are decidedly the fash- ion and quite the delight of the slender women because they are so youthful, but many of the waists are made point- ed back and front, laced around with crosswise plaits, and fastened at the side or in the back. It is a puzzle to find out where some of the new bodices do fasten, the opening is so completely hidden, and it is evidently one of fash- & gas: ‘;=‘_ .uz'i it 'Uv .«as‘fifif ion’s whims either to conceal the fas- tening entirely, or make it very evident by the use of buttons. Buttons of all descriptions are a distinctive feature of the latest gowns, and small moonstone buttons are profusely used. The fashionable bathing suit of ’96 is a thing of beauty, whatever may be said of its useful and durable qualities. The old time regulation costume of blue flannel, made by the hundred all just alike, without decoration, very little shape, and no style, has no place among the ’up-to-date novelties of the season. Mohair is one of the popular materials this season, with the ever useful serge and the plain andspotted flannels. Pink is the prevailing color in much , of the summer .millinery, and‘ pink straw hats, pink roses, and pink tulle abound. , Another p0pular color is green, in all the divers shades imagina- ble, and pale lime green straw trimmed with blue or purple is one of the pic- turesque effects commonly seen this season. ‘ _ Better Than the Sandwieh Board. A Paris advertising agent has ac- quired the services of a man with a com- pletely bald head. Every evening this individual 18 sent to a different theatre and sits in a front seat with an adver- tisement inscribed' 1n black letters upon the back of his dome of thought. Though the managers have tried to keep out this unwelcome patron as tend- ingto distract attention from the stage, they have not been successful. The theory of the Court is that as the indi- vidual may keep anysort of notions in- side, so he may display any sentiments outside his skull, provided they be not lie disorder.
