NIGHT on“; .u' oumcn. .-
\
glad for the night’s coming, he went to ,
anfoiin‘Lnir'TER.
The Patriarchs, the organization un-
der whose direction the oldest and
most important set of subscription
dances in this city has been given, was
dissolved at a small meeting held a re-_
cent afternoon.
It was generally conceded that the
management of these balls has been
somewhat of a failure since the death
of Ward McAllister. For a period of
a quarter of a century the social life
of the gay months of each winter be:
gun and ended with a. Patriarch ball.-
On this account the coming-out teas
were compressed into the month of
November and early days of Decem-
ber. At the first ball of each winter
the entire list of debutantes was in«
variably seen and the amount of at-
tention then received was apt to indi-
cate the young women’s so‘cial success
or the reverse. During Ward McAl-
lister’s day the first and last balls were
always larger than the intermediate
one. It was not until after Mr. Mc-
Allister’s death that the splendor of
the entertainments, considering the
amount subscribed, was appreciated.
The three balls given each season at
Delmonico’s cost $5,000. The floral de-
corations were very gorgeous. As to“
the suppers they were most elaborate;
The regular late course supper was
supplemented by a light buffet affair,
served upstairs during the entire ball.
Two large orchestras furnished the
music. . .r .
There was never any change in the
form of the invitations, which were
engraved on note paper, with the year
on top and the list of Patriarchs’
names under the body of the~ invita-
tion. Each Patriarch received eight as
his share. Some of these, of course,-
were required for the members of his
own family, but the others were "used
to wipe out social obligations. It was
always possible, also, to confer special
courtesy to friends visiting in town by
sending invitations to the Patriarch
balls. With the dearth of private func:
tions in New York this was no small
matter. Each of the Patriarchs in turn
sent his list of invited guests to \Vard
McAllister. Besides these, there were
a certain number of special invitations
issued with the general consent. The
recipients of these were notabilities
temporarily in town and members of
the Diplomatic Corps at Washington.
The Patriarchs’ list for the winter of
1896-97 follows: John Jacob Astor,

The cablegram announcing the death
of the American millionaire, Jeffries
Garvey, forcibly recalls the times of
the Tweed reign in New York. J effries
Garvey is identical with Andrew J.‘
Garvey, the informer against Tweed. ’
Although his residence was abroad,
Garvey used to make frequent visits
to' New York, but he did not see or
seek the acquaintance of many of his
former political friends while here. He
was in great disfavor with them.
\Vhenever he was in the city, however,
he used to frequent the house of Truck
3 of the Fire Department and to visit
other old firemen friends. He used to
be foreman of Engine 12, next door to
Truck 3, and at the time of his death
was the owner of the building where
that engine is located.
He owned- a great deal of other valu-
‘able property on that block between
Third and Fourth avenues, including
the old sales stable, Huber’s Museum,
and the building on the southeast cor:
nor of Fourth avenue. Besides this
he owned a great residence property
in the fashionable quarter near Fifth
avenue, in the Fifties, including two
houses in Fiftieth street, opposite St.
Patrick’s Cathedrak
Mr. Garvey’s last visit to New York
was about eighteen months or two
years ago. .~
The old-time Tammany Hall men
who knew Garvey in the Tweed ring
days have little to say about him. Most
of them said they had,~ known him only
as a contractor who made a good thing
out of his connection with the ring.
Peter B. Sweeney said that he only
remembered Garvey as a big man, who
was a great hand at display and al-
ways was prominent in show political
parades and demonstrations. He had
seen him once here since he left to take
up his residence in England. Garvey
had the contract for the decorative
plaster work in the Tweed Court
House. lie also did the plaster work
in Tammany Hall when it was built in
BTW—He raised a great row once by
--'trying to get Tweed to cut Eleventh
street through from Broadway to
Fourth avenue to benefit some prop-
erty he owned in the-avenue.

\
THE ’CYCIEE AS A FLYING MACHINE.
William Shields Found it More or Less of
a Success. -
William Shields is young, plucky
and a native of Woonsocket, R. I., all
of which is in his favor.
He is a good bicycle rider and a
youth with strong legs and a strong
heart. That, too, is in his favor.
He has a hobby to ride down the steps
of large buildings like national capi-
tols, cathedrals, city halls and such
structures. Whether this is in his fa-
vor is a debatable question. How-
ever, he likes such amusement, and is
still alive. to tell the story.
He has descended the steps of the
Capitols of Ohio and Kentucky, raced
.down the long incline of the City Hall
of Cincinnati, did some harum-scarum
deeds in Louisville, and capped the cli-
max by trying to ride down a paint-
er’s ladder from the second story of a
building in Cincinnati.
Then he journeyed East, finally
reaching the City of Washington. His
idea was to ride down the steps of the
Capitol. " ‘
The particular part of thensteps that
he selected leads to the Maryland ave-
nue entrance to the grounds. There
are four flights of steps mounting the
terrace. The total number of steps in
the descent is seventy-four, and there
are three landings to be passed over
by any other person desiring to emu~
late Shields’ example.
Everything was clear when Shields
made ready to toboggan. Before
reaching the bottom of the uppermost
flight he had lost his pedals, and, mak-
ing no attempt to regain them, sat
bolt upright, his eyes fixed rigidly in
advance of him on the path at the bot-
tom. .
The descent lasted only fifteen sec-
onds, but the strain on rider and spec-
came to the last landing the impetus
was such that it leaped over the last
fight of sixteen steps at a single bound,
striking the path below and bounding
into the air. The force with which the
bicycle struck the ground was too
mush for Shields. and he fell off the
wheel. He was considerably bruised,
but not seriously injured, and the only
accident to the bicycle was a bent
handle bar. Shields will always have
the reputation of being a very clever
imitator of his New England proto-
type, General Israel Putnam.
Bicycle Wheel Pincushion.
This novel pincushion will be appre-
ciated by cyclists; it is made in the
form of a cycle wheel with pneumatic
tire. A large wooden curtain ring is
used for the wheel; this is covered with
black sat-in; the spokes are formed by
stretching silver thread from one side
to the other, and connecting them in
o
the centre by, a spun stitch worked as
in point lace; the tire is the cushion,
which should be at least one inch in
diameter, and long enough to go round
the ring; it must be tightly stufied,
then cover with gray satin the same
color as india rubber; it is fixed to the
ring bv seccotine.‘ A 100p of ribbon,
finished by a bow. is sewn to the back
of cushion, by which to suspend it.
The \Vheel in Africa.
One would scarcely expect to find bi-
cycles and a bicycle club in the heart
of Africa and six hundred miles from
any railroad. One club in Buluwayo,
Matabeleland, South Africa, is in a
flourishing condition, having twenty—
fivy 'members out of a population of
.wenty-five hundred.
During the late war in 'Maltabele-
land these bicyclers all rendered val:
uable service to the English. By them
scouts were often able, to “locate the
enemy” or to deliver a message where,
a man on horseback would not have
dared to go, for a Kaflir can outrun a
horse every time~thrat is, such horses
as they have in Africa.
In one instance a bicycler put to
route a who)“. camp of Kaflirs, who ev-
idently nev'ir had seen a bicycle be-
fore, and i Iis man, who came nearer
to the car ,1) than he had had any in-
tention of doing, and who was much
alarmed for his own safety, when he
realized where he was,
again when he saw these Kaflirs throw
up their hands as if in consternation,
and, uttering savage sounds and
noises, jump to their feet find" run for
their lives. They evidently thought
Satan himself was after them.
A Slave to His Wheel.
Belle—I’m so glad Jack has got a bi-
cycle; it has helped his disposition
wonderfully. ,
Nan—His disposition? Why,- how
could it? ' .
Belle—Oh, when he gets up to give
baby a drink and steps on a tack he is
so glad that it. is in his foot instead of
his pneumatic tire that he doesn’t say
anything—Pearson‘s Weekly.

Crummer the job of collecting debts

Miss Hilda Clark is a very beautiful
young woman with a well-trained
voice. She is the leading soprano of
the “Bostonians,” which.popular com-
pany is now winning encomiums and
dollars in “The Serenade.” Before
Miss Clark embarked in serio-comic
Opel‘a she sang in the choir of St.
Mary’s Church in this city. She comes
of a fine old Southei’n family, and is
proud, of the fact that she is a de-
scendant of the noted Major-Genera]
Winston.
Miss Olga Nethcrsole is another of
the English actors who come to Amer~
ica and find-that they like it well
enough to come again. Her present
tour is her third in this country, and
since she came for the first time her
own country has'not seen much of
her. Like most actresses who’regard
themselves as emotional, she cannot
be restrained from playing “Camille.”
Probably it is not her fault, for the
OLGA N ETHERSOLE. .
American theatregoing public seems
firmly attached to that drama.
The gossipers and tale-makers are
asking each other questions concern-
ing the Tabers, and ’ are “saying
things” all because Julia Marlow Ta—
ber has decided to continue her theat-
rical career under the name that was
hers when she began that career, and
is hers still. forthat matter.
There is a rumor that the charming
couple may cease to act together, ow-
' ing to the objections of some of the,
managers of the theatrical syndicate
to, a husband and wife at the head of
a company. It..is.believed by some-of
., them that Julia. Marlowe as. a single
attraction would 'be more potent than
she is while sharing ”glory with Mr.
Taber. It is sincerely to be hoped
that this is nothing but mere rumor,
with no more truth in it than there is
in the gossip to the general effect that
that blight of st'a’g'e life, “domestic in-
felicity,”has made victims of the couple.
Miss Della Fox, who accompanies
Miss Russell and Mr.. De Angelis in
their present disturbance of the equa-
nimity of this community, is to .me
one of the most remarkable pheno-
mena of the contemporaneous stage. I
have asked scores of my acquaintan-
ces to tell me Why they admired this
flax-en dumpling of femininity, and
they have cast about them in divers
directions, and finally discovered the
word “cute.” They like Miss Fox be-
cause she is “cute.” They admit that
she has a poor singing voice, and that,
poor as it is, it is better than her sing-
ing. They admit that she is uot’beau-
tiful, and they admit that they have
never seen her enact any character
except Della Fox. But they say she
is so “cute.” . ,
I asked Mr. Daniel Frohman how
Miss Cayvan is succeeding in her starr-
ing tour. “Fairly, I imagine,” said Mr.
Frohm-an. , “She needs a play, that’s
all. If she had a good play she would
do well, for she is an excellent ac-
tress and is favorably known all
through the country. But shr- is not
one of the very few actresses '~ lilo can
draw a big audience without. 5a fine
play. - Who are those actresses? ’3 Well,
I can think of only three now, Eleo-
nora Duse, Olga Nethersole, and—May
Irwin. Yes, it's a queer combination
but each one of those women is an ar-
tist’in her own way. I don’t think Miss
Nethersole could draw big houses in
New York if she didn’t have a good
play, but she could in other cities.”
Maude Adams will be the next one
to try starring. She will play in Lon-
don with John Drew this summer, and
next season will have a play of her
'own. Miss Adams is a very clever and
popular young woman, given to much
reading of books, acquainted with va-
rious foreign languages, and very
charming withal—which may or may
not help her, as a star, to shine with
purest ray serene. Ross FANCHON.

.SIR WALTER SOOTT’S FIRST BRIEF.
One of His Best Fee's was the Sound Adm
vice of a Burglar.
_ Sir Walter Scott had his share of
curious experiences in the same con-
nection shortly gifts; being called to
the bar. His first appearance as coun-
sel in a criminal court was at .Jedburgh
Assizes in 1793. When he successfully
defended a. veteran poacher. (“You’re
a lucky scoundrel!” Scott whispered to
his client when the verdict was given.
“I’m just 0’ your mind,” returned the
latter, “and I’ll send you a maukin
(namely, a. hare) the morn; man."
Lockhart, who narrates the incident,
duly reached Scott, but no doubt it did.
On another occasion Scott was less
successful in his defense of a house-
breaker, but the culprit, grateful for
his counsel’s exertions, gave him, in
lieu of the orthodox fee, which he was
unable to pay, this piece of advice, to
the value of which he, the housebreak-
er, could professionally attest: First,
never to have Ia large watchdog out of
doors, but to keep a. little yelping ter~
rier within; and secondly, to put no
trust in nice, clever, gimcrack lock's,
but to pin his faith to a huge old heavy
one with a rusty key. Scott long re-
membered this incident and thirty
years later, at a jud-ges’ dinner at Jed-
burg, he recalled it in this impromptu
rhyme:
Yelping terrier, rusty key.
Was Walter Scott’s best J eddart fee.
Cream Candies.
The Canadians make the most de-
lightful cream candies of maple sugar,
cream and butternuts.
, Melt a pound of new maple sugar
with a cup of thin cream and boil the
syrup to a creamy ball, but not until it
“cracks.” When the syrup has reached
the proper state, scatter butternut ker~
nels evenly over sheets of buttered tin
and pour on just enough of the syrup
to cover them. Crease the sheets of
candy into small squares and break
'them apart when the candy has be-
come cold.
flow to Serve Macaroni. ‘
Macaroni served in the Italian style
means simply boiled macaroni over
which a highly-seasoned brown gravy
'is poured, grated cheese being sent
round with the dish. The gravy is
nicest made by cutting up in two-inch
pieces some lean. juicy beef from the
round and simmering in a. little water
into which a fried onion is put. Strain
and thicken, adding half a. dozen
chopped mushrooms.
An Island of Chalk.
The English island of Thanet is al-
most wholly composed of chalk. The
sland is ten miles in length and about
ive in breadth. and has more chalk ex-
posed on its surface than any other
zpot of equal area on the globe. British
geologists say that there are not less
:han 42.000.000.000 tons“ of chalk in
sight on Thanet. and that it would
:ake 10.000 men and 5.000 horses and
:arts 20.000 years to move it. provid-
ng it were dug up ready to' be carted
iway.——St. Louis Republic.

A hfi‘xican Plant.
.. One of Mexico’s most curious plants
is called the threaddand-needle tree,
and it bears a close resemblance to an
overgrown asparagus. Along the edges
of the leaves, which are thick and
fleshy, and full of tiny fibres of great
strength, very sharp “needles” grow."
If pushed back into the leaf and cut
loose from its tough setting, the thorn
may be easily pulled out, a lot of the
tough little fibres attached to the root
of the thorncoming out with it. Whe’fi
these fibres are twisted together with'

Use of Burdock in Japan.
'A Japanese correspondent of Garden
and Forest says that the burdock,
which the Japanese call “gobo,” is a.
valuable food in Japan. The tender
are put in sou-p, and the young leaves.
are eaten as greens. The plant has
been cultivated for centuries, and the
annual value of the crop " is about
$400,000. This will be very surprising
to American farmers, who look on the
burdock as a “pesky weed.”—New
York Tribune. . .
