Fashion Notes.
Gold braid bonnets are extensively worn.
Cloth-top boots are coming into fashion
again.
Jersey gloves are very fashionable in
hotli silk and lisle thread."
Small, narrow cuffs are much worn
with tailor-made costumes.
The Bernhardt glove is entirely out of
style. Some few are found and sold, but
are not placed in the catalogue of fine
gloves. Cord-laced gloves are also a thing
of tbe past.
Ginghams are in high favor this season.
Some are embroidered and remarkably
pretty. Grays and blues are the predomi
nant "colors in these goods, though many
combinations of colors are seen. \Y r e
find a great deal of green and red to
gether, but these are mostly for children
and very young girls.
There is a decided fancy for plaids for
children’s wear this season, plaids oi all
sorts and in all sizes, from tiny checks to
blocks and irregular plaids of an inch and
a half to two inches square. A great
many Louisines are used for full dress
toilets, and these are frequently trimmed
either Yvith velvet or lace, or both.
A pretty fashion, which has lately been
adopted, is to pass a black lace scarf
loosely around the neck, fasten one end
under the left ear with a dainty spray of
flowers, the other at the left side of the
waist, with another spray. Real flowers
are occasionally seen at the handles of
parasols, secured Yvith a how of ribbon.
WARD IN A PRISON CELL.
HE IS LOCKED UP IN LUDLOW
STREET .JAIL.
Trouble Ahead for lilr Associates—The
Strong Affidavits Against the Prisoner
—Willlie Speak?
Escorted by order of Arrest Deputy
Sheriff McGonigal on the oae side and
with Deputy Sheriff James Brown holding
his other arm, says the Morning Journal
of Friday, a pale, thin and dejected look
ing man slowly ascended the steps of the
Ludlow street jail Thursday afternoon
at 5 o’clock. He looked hopelessly from
side to side as the faiut echoes of the bell
came hack in answer to the deputie’s
summons. His head sank forward de
jectedly when the door opened to admit
the trio and he flung himself Into the
nearest bench in the corrider the picture
of misery and despair.
The man was Ferdinand Ward, the
trusted business associate of Gen. Grant
and his sons, who had been taken by the
Deputy Sheriffs from the office of his law
yers, Messrs. Butler, Stillman & Hubbard,
to the jail. Ashe sat there in the corri
dor, his narrow shoulders contracted and
stooping, his face white and anxious, and
his hair and moustache dishevelled, he
looked much more like a condemned mur
derer than the enterprising young finan
cier whose methods have wrought such
rijin.
‘•When a man has not two cents to rub
other,” said Deputy Sherifl'
David McGonigal, “he can’t put up at
first-class hotels. That’s the reason why
Mr. Ferdinand Ward was taken to the
Ludlow street jail. The hotels are too
expensive.”
“i Ward bo z>nrnnletelv broken ?” asked
the reporter.
“Yes,” replied the deputy, “he’s broken
financially, and, more than that, he’s
completely broken up physically. He’s
losing his grit, too. I should not be sur
prised to hear him squeal, and I rather
imagine if he does that there will be
rather an ugly story told.”
“Then there" will be more arrests?”
“It’s very strange to hie,” replied Mr.
McGonigal, “that amidst all this crash of
banks and firms and all the uproar about
fraud and rehypothecations, there have
■ been but two men arrested, both sort of
scapogoats—Ward, for one, and Sweeny,
the bucket-shop keeper, for the other.
Yes, I’ve heard reports,” he continued,
“that warrants were out for Mr. James
D. Fish. President of the Marine Bank;
for Col. Fred D. Grant and for Manager
William O. Smith, of the firm of Ward A
Grant, hut they have not been issued by
me. If I am ordered to arrest any of those
gentlemen my men will have no difficulty
in finding them.
“The most painful part of this affair to
me,” continued Mr. McGonigal, pulling at
his gray -mustache, “is that J. Nelson
Tappan, the City Chamberlain, has lost so
much money by Ward’s miserable
schemes. Tappan is at home, sick in bed,
brought there by worrying over his
losses.”
“Does the money come from his own
pocket?” asked the reporter.
“Of course it does,” replied the Deputy
Sheriff, most emphatically. “Tappan is
one of the best and most honest fellows
in the world, hut he was gulled by Ward's
specious promises. In sums of $5,00(9,
SIO,OOO, $25,000 and $50,000 Tappan paid
into Ward’s hands $320,000 during twenty
three days of April. And, mark you,
every cent of it was his own money. The
city "does not lose one penny.”
“Ferdinand’s brother, YV r illiam Ward,”
continued Mr. McGonigal, “is a very rich
man that has made his money in mines in
Colorado. Mr. William Ward answered
his brother’s summons immediately, and
I fancy he has been paying- his expenses
at the hotel. One of the conditions on
Which he did so was that Ferdinand
Ward should he given no whisky or stim
ulants of any kind. He’s needed them,”
continued Mr. McGonigal, “for he has
scarcely tasted food; hut I don’t much
wonder his appetite is bad.”
Accompanied by Sheriff Brown, Mr. Fer
dinand Ward had visited the scene of his
triumphs and his downfall in the morning,
looking worn and dispirited. He entered
the office of Messrs. Butler, Stillman &
Hubbard, No. 11l Broadway, and retired
to Mr. Stillman’s private office. Soon
afterwards Ferdinand’s brother, W. S.
Ward, of Denver, called and was admitted
to the private room. After a long consul
tation the brother departed. He said he
did not know whether his brother would
; give hail or not. The general opinion is
the amount cannot he raised. W. S. Ward
asserts his belief that his brother has not
saved a dollar from the wreck. He has
advised him to make a clean breast of ev
erything. Shortly after noon Mr. Ward,
Sheriff Brown, Mr. Stillman and two other
gentlemen went to the office of A Yard A
Grant, in the United Bank Building,
where Ward was closeted nearly all the
afternoon.
The arrest of \Y r ard was made upon au
order issued by Judge Donohue in an ac
tion brought by J. Nelson Tappan to re
cover $320,000. The suit is brought against
Ulysses S. Grant, Ferdinand Ward, Jas.
I). Fisk, William C. Smith and Ulysses
Grant, Jr. There are three affidavits
made, one by J. Nelson Tappan, one by
William H. Bingham, a resident of Con
necticut. doing brokerage business in the
Mills building, and one by J. SeYvell Tap
pan, J. Nelson’s son.
Air. J. Nelson Tappan’s affidavit is the
most searching in its charges. It says
that betYveen the 2d and the 25th ot April,
ISS4, Mr. Tappan advanced the firm of
Grant A \Yard $320,000. He really did ad
vance $620,00(', hut lie drew out $300,000.
He began making these investments in
September, 1883, for the purpose of having
Grant & Ward iiiY'est in government con
tracts. Ward told him that government
contractors were often delayed in getting
payments and that they were Yvilling to
sell contracts at a great discount. Mr.
YVard further represented that owing to
special influence he would be enabled to
get prompt settlements with the govern
ment, and that money invested by Tap
pan would run no risk whatever, as the
business was as safe as indorsing govern
ment bonds. Ward said that his firm had
already made heavy sums in this way
and were going more extensively into the
business. Hence there was a rare open
ing for a few friends. After setting this
forth Mr. Tappan deduces a belief that
these representations were not true and
that no such contracts existed.
At 7 o’clock Ferdinand Ward was
shown to his rooms. There is notbing
suggestive of imprisonment about the
rooms except the armed guards at the
doors. Fronting on Ludlow street, north
of tbe entrance to the building, is a large
square reception room, handsomely fur
nished and well lighted. Here Mr. Ward
will receive his visitors. Adjoining on
the front is a bed room, about 8 by 20 feet
in size, lighted by a large double "window.
In it Mr. Ward will sleep. On tbe exact
spot where Mr. Ward’s folding cot will be
placed YVilliam M. Tweed died. Morning
and evening Ward’s bed room will be
warmed by the steam radiator that Wil
liam M. Tweed put into the jail at his
own expense during the closing days of
his life. In a little square place leading
off from the bedroom Ward will bathe in
the bath-room fitted up by Tweed.

A NEW SOUTHERN ART MUSEUM
The Telfair Academy. Savannah, Geor
gia—Director Brandt’s European Mis
sion.
The Art Union for April.
Within the past fetv years the growth
of general interest in the Fine Arts has
been most remarkable throughout the
country, and with this interest has
sprung up means for its cultivation in
many localities. At least three perma
nent art galleries have been begun in
Northern cities during the past year, and
one has been started most successfully in
the South through the mediumship of'the
Art Union. Another Art Institution of
great promise is now being established in
another Southern State, and before very
long almost every prominent city in this
country will have its Art Museum just as
has almost every prominent city in
Europe.
The South offers a wide field for the
future of American art. The climatic
conditions of some of our Southern States
do not differ materially from those of
certain European States whence have
sprung many of the greatest painters and
writers of the time- our Southern coun
try has as bright blue 6kies a9 those of
Italy, and it contains much excellent
matter that is paintable and that thus
far has scarcely come under the brush.
The Southern people seem to have an in
herent cultivation; they love what is
beautiful, and, when they are able to do
60, surround themselves with elegance.
It they come to take up art, thev will
surround themselves with what is best in
art, and if the Southerner resolves to fol
low art, he wilWollow it with earnestness.
That there have been few Southern
artists may be attributed mainly to the
fact that there has been little or no art in
the South to encourage the art-student.
The rebellion swept away what had beeu
gathered together previous to 1861, and
since that time many of those who might
have been particularly friendly to art,
have found themselves without the means
to gratify their tastes.
Anew Art Academy, Yvith a perma
nent gallery of carefully selected Yvorks,
now being established in Savannah, Ga.,
will doubtless have a great influence in
the artistic development of the South.
Some seYen years ago, Miss Telfair, the
daughter of one of the former Governors
of Georgia, died, and leit, among other
bequests, the old Telfair mansion Yvith its
contents —comprising some works ot art
of more or less historic interest and
value—together with a large sum of
money, to the Georgia Historical Society,
to be used in the establishment and future
maintenance ol an academy to he known
as “The Telfair Academy of Arts and
Sciences.”
For about six years Miss Telfair’s testa
ment was contested, hut a year ago the
courts decided that it should stand. In
the meanwhile, interest on the money in
volved had accumulated to the amount of
nearly fifty thousand dollars. The trus
tees of the fund then came to consider
what active measures should be taken for
the consummation of Miss Telfair’s Inten
tions, and after some correspondence, the
President of the Georgia Historical
Society came North, and, at the instance
of the" hoard, tendered the directorship
of the new academy to Mr. Carl L.
Brandt, N. A. Mr. Brandt immediately
Yvent South, inspected the building at the
disposal of the trustees, and projected the
alterations necessary to render it adapta
ble for its new purposes, and Yvhich are
now nearly completed. As director of the
enterprise, Mr. Brandt suggested that it
would he wise to visit Europe to obtain
casts, pictures and other suitable works
of art for the nucleus ot the academy
collections, and that that would be an
especially favorable time to visit Europe,
on account of the various prominent art
exhibitions to he held during the season.
The trustees of the society thereupon
desired Mr. Brandt to go abroad for this
purpose.
Three great art exhibitions were held
in Europe last summer; the Amsterdam
Exhibition, the Munich Exhibition and
the French Salon Triennial. Mr. Brandt
visited all of them and the principal art
centres of Europe besides. In conversing
with him concerning this mission abroad,
lie said:
“In Amsterdam there were many pic
tures of great excellence, loaned by vari
ous museums, hut few of importance or
value that were offered lor sale. French
art Yvas fairly well represented by pictures
loaned by the government; German art
was feebly shown (with the exception of
some excellent pictures by Achenbach),
probably on account of the demands made
upon their national art by the Munich
Exhibition. The Japanese department,
at Amsterdam, particularly interested
me. Never before had 1 realized how far
Japanese art had advanced. Some of the
bronzes and textiles were perfect mar
vels of beauty, and I was glad to secure
some of them tor the Southern Museum.
A large placque which I purchased is the
work of the artist Muracami, probably
the most expert of the Japanese artists
of the present time. The design is traced
in gold and silver lines in a metal ground
(inlaid), and is most exquisitely beauti
ful. It was manufactured expressly for
the Amsterdam Exhibition and is unique.
A fine piece of Japanese embroidery which
I purchased, yvus greatly desired by the
Director of the South Kensington Mu
seum, who had been requested by tbe
Director of the Hermetage, of St. Peters
burg, to buy a few unique specimens for
it from tbe Japanese department.
“In Munich, I purchased a number of
pictures, and a series of tapestry paint
ings which had been executed by Direc
tor Schraudolph, of the Stuttgart
Academy, for the Exposition of Nurem
berg, held some years ago. These paint
ings attracted considerable attention at
Nuremberg, and the managers of the
Munich exhibition were very glad to
secure them for their exhibition. The
series constitutes a frieze ten feet high,
and, iu its entirety, nearly two hundred
feet long. It contains a number of figures
representing the different arts, with god
desses distributing wreaths of honor and
fame.” (Each figure of this composition,
says Friederich I’echt, in his letters on
Die .moderne Kunst auf Her Interna
tionalen Kunstausstellung zu Munchen,
1883, “expresses the vocation assigned in
so characteristic a manner, that one is
astonished at the talent displayed in the
production of this creation, so rich and
elegant, and so correct in the character
of the German Renaissance.”—Ed.)
“When the Director of the Kensington
Museum, Sir Philip Conlilie Owen, first
saw these paintings, at the Nuremberg
Exposition, he prevailed upon Schrau
dolph to make him copies of two of them
for the museum, and subsequently in
duced the artist to visit Kensington to
give instruction to the students there in
the method of producing the effects
shown in these works, which, at the
proper distance, can scarcely he distin
guished from superb tapestries. These
paintings, Yvhich "tvere placed as a frieze
about the central hall of the German
Department ol the Munich Exhibition,
are to be hung as a Ineze in our gallery
ol paintings in Savannah.”
Mr. Brandt next went to Vienna, where
he ordered a number of statues to he
cut in stOne, for the ornamentation of the
grounds about the Telfair Academy,
representing Phidias, Raphael, Michel
Angelo, Rubens and Rembrandt. From
Vienna the Director went to Venice,
Florence and Rome, where he was ex
ceptionally successful in obtaining per
mission from the Vatican to have made
from thirty to lorty new moulds from the
most famous sculptures in the collection,
from which casts in plaster are now
being made for the Telfair Gallery. This
is a permission rarely granted. Mr.
Brandt Yvas greatly aided in his enter
prise by the efforts of Minister W. W.
Astor, who lor many years has been his
personal friend, and is the possessor of a
number of his paintings. In Naples, Yvere
ordered a large number of duplicate
casts from the National Museum, and.
among others, one of the celebrated Far
nese Bull, one of the largest sculpture
groups from the antique in existence, con
taining seven figures, and admirably cal
culated for a piece de resistance tor a
gallery. And, by the way, this is the
second copy that has been made directly
from the original—the first one being in
the Berlin Musuem. In Florence, some
fine wood carvings were ordered and
then Mr. Brandt recrossed the Alps into
Germany, visiting many of the smaller
schools "and museums, where paintings
and other objects of art were purchased,
as opportunity offered. In Berlin, lie
ordered a cast from the cast of the Hermes,
found in Olympia a few years ago—(the
original of which, discovered by a Prus
sian commission sent to make excava
tions, was retained by the government at
Athens).
Mr. Brandt then visited Hamburg,
Dusseldorf, Cologne and Paris,, making
puichases here and there. In Paris he
ordered a number of casts from the
Louvre, and bought some fine etchings.
In England, Mr. Brandt was fortunate
in being able to secure casts from nearly
all of the Elgin marbles. The casts from
the frieze of tbe Parthenon will bo
arranged to form the frieze ot the Hall of
the Telfair Academy.
Among the paintings purchased by Mr.
Brandt in Europe were examides by
Braith, Zugel, Brutt, Oesterly, Von
Maffi, Rondini, Kauffmann and "Hacker.
The picture by Hacker is a large canvas
bought from the Liverpool Exhibition,
and is the most important work of the
artist thus far. Its subjects is “Relics of
the Brave”—showing an interior of a
home, with the tamily gathered together,
and the mother attempting to read a
letter sent from the battlefield and
accompanied by medals which had been
won and worn by her dead husband. The
story is told with great pathos. The pic
ture was illustrated •in the London
Graphic , and the Liverpool papers
editorially deplored the fact that it was
not purchased for the Walker Gallery of
that city.
A purchase of very great importance
made by Mr. Brandt was a collection con
taining nearly one thousand large photo
graohs of the principal paintings iu the
various European museums. A collec
tion of this kind is invaluable to the art
student and to one unable to travel
abroad who wishes to gain some acquain
tance with the contents of the foreign
galleries. A collection of this kind
should be possessed by every Art
Academy.
Mr. Brandt’s purchases were made
with economy as well as discretion; and
without spending the total amount of
money at his command, he bought
enough to more than fill the present Tel
fair building. A plan which he con
sidered some time ago will now be followed
out. An addition to the original struc
ture will be made, in which will be placed
the paintings, sculptures and casts of the
Academy. This addition will he sixty
feet square and two stories high, the
lower story to he floored with marble and
to contain the collection of easts from
the antique; the upper story to contain
the collection of paintings which the
institution may acquire. A handsome
iron aud marble staircase, after original
designs, will give access both to the
annex and the upper floor of the original
structure.
Mr. Brandt will leave New York for
Savannah in a few weeks to further
superintend the details of arrangements
in the ndw Academy, and the placing of
the sculptures, casts, etc., as they arrive.
Many of the European purchases have
already reached Savannah. It is Mr.
Brandt’s idea to furnish instruction
in tbe new Academy, not alone to artists,
but to those Yvbo practice the decorative
and mechanical arts, and to make a col
lection of objects relating to the arts of
various portions of the world, which may
convey practical ideas to architects, en
gravers, designers, carvers, decorators,
workers in textile fabrics, aud others,
At first there will he the museum of
casts and the gallery of pictures, which
will encourage a greater taste for art in
the community. It will be the aim to
make these collections so interesting that
they will attract visitors not only from
the South but from other portions of the
country. Savannah is a most charming
city; its climate in winter is mild and
pleasant, and in time it may come to he a
popular winter resort, as its attractions
are better known by the people of the
North. The Telfair Academy, under the
efficient direction of Mr. Brandt, may do
much for the city and much for the
development of ttie Fine Arts in the
South.
The schools will open as soon as practi
cable. There will he classes iu drawing
from the Antique, and, in time, from Life.
There will he classes in painting and
modeling from the first, and instruction
will also be given in matters relating to
decorative art. Mr. Brandt has arranged
to spend several months each winter in
personally superintending the schools,
and alter they are fairly established there
will he a number of qfiitlifled instructors
for the various departments.
MUSICIANS FOR THE ARMY.
The Inducement That Uncle Sam Holds
Out to Them—Some Drawbacks,
The following advertisement, says the
New York Sun, was printed in a news
paper recently:
TXT ANTED—For the United States Army,
TY competent band musicians. Apply to
Superintendent General Recruiting Service,
Army Building, New York citv, or in person
or byjetter to the nearest recruiting officer.
Col. Sbafter of the First Infantry is
Superintendent ol the General Recruiting
Service. “Good musicians are always
wanted in the army,” Col. Shatter said,
“but as there are forty-five bands in the
regular service, Yvith twenty musicians
in each band, and ninety-four vacancies
out of the 900, we thought" we would make
an extra effort. I see the advertisement
you have is in English. A funny thing
happened in connection with the adver
tisement we put into a German news
paper. I wrote it in English, and it was
translated into German to read that we
wanted a whole hand. A band master
called on me and offered his entire band.
What we want is 2(cornets, 20 clarionets,
8 baritone horns, 7 alto, C bass,4 slide trom
bones, 3 piccolos, 5 snare drummers, 1
bass drummer, 3 trombones, and 5 tubas.
Notices to that effect are posted at all the
recruiting stations all over the Union.”
“What musicians are the hardest to
get?”
“Cornet players. The instrument is
difficult to play, and a cornet player can
earn a good salary anywhere. Clarionets
come next.”
“What inducement can you hold out to
a good musician, one who makes $5 or
more a day to enter the service?’-:
“I shouldn't think a musician earning
that amount of money would enlist. One.
thing, musicians seem addicted to marry
ing, and we cannot take married men. It
is a quiet life usually. YVhen not on duty
the musicians play ball, read in the read
ing room, and out in the Western country
they get mules and a wagon to go fishing
almost Yvhenever they choose to go. The
term of service Is five years, and the pav
is from sl3 a month for privates to $22 for
the principal musician, the band master.
In addition to this, when the musician is
discharged he gets an extra lump sum at
the rate of $1 a month for3 years’ service,
$2 a month ior 4 years’ service, and $3 a
month for 5 years’ service. Then, when
he is discharged, lie receives a day’s pay
and a day’s rations for every tweuty miles
he has to travel to get back to the place
where he enlisted. That is a queer old
law coming down Irom 1812, when it was
supposed that a man would have to walk
home, au means of communication were
few in those days, aud it was calculated
that a soldier would Yvaik twenty miles a
day in making the journey. Besides this,
the discharged musician, if he has been
careful of his- uniform, can draw SSO or
more clothing money, which has accumu
lated to his credit. Then, in the service,
rations, clothing, and medical attendance
are paid for by tile government. Alto
gether, a careful man, if he doesn't spend
too much money on whisky aud tobacco,
will have in five years over SI,OOO. Ex
perience shows, however, that lie usually
saves from S2OO tosooin that time. Musi
cians have no extra duty, as soldiers
have, and when they are asked to do
manual labor iu an emergency
they make as much fuss as though they
were going to meet the enemy. If they
are injured in the service they, can either
draw a pension or go to the Soldiers’
Home in- Washington. Add to this the
beautiful uniforms that are bought for
them. The extra money for the fuss and
feathers comes out of the officers’ pockets.
The government pays only for ordinary
clothing.”
“Are musicians at military posts al
lowed to furnish music for balls aud
parties and public performances?”
“The practice is discouraged but not
forbidden. It used to be quite the thing
for military hands to play ih public that
way, but occasionally local musical so
cieties sent to Washington hitter com
plaints that the musicians cut under the
market price. They could afford to do it,
of course, as it was clear gain to them.
Several years ago. when my regiment was
in San Antonio, Texas, my band used to
go to the springs and play for money. A
German band complained to Gen. Sher
man, and he said be couldn’t see any
harm in a poor musician picking up an
honest penny. So the thing went on. It
is aH changed now, and post command
ants are instructed to discourage bands
from playing outside. Tbe fact is, the
men are demoralized by it.”
“Where are the musicians who apply
examined as to their proficiency?”
“In this neighborhood, on David’s
Island. Inland, the officers pick out a good
musician to do the work.”
Some of the pretty sateen dresses are
made as follows: The skirt of the plain
sateen is side-pleated all the way round,
and above this is a graceful Langtry polo
naise, looped high on each side, and trim
med from throat to hem down the tront
with a jabot of Oriental lace. The polo
naise is always of the figured sateen,
with ground matched to the skirt fabric.
The Medici lace is used on white linen
dresses. These suits are made of fine
linen sheeting, as it requires no starch in
laundrving and is solt and comfortable,
as well as cool and durable. Some ladies
have a vest, collar and cuffs of solid em
broidery on these dresses.
Long siik mitts in a pale tan are worn
extensively with black costumes.
THE LOBBY’S DEAD KING.
Barrett’s Little Scandal—The Career of
a Faded Lily.
New York, May 22.—Everybody, of
course, has heard of the death of Sam
Ward, the “King of the Lobby.” Few,
however, of these “everyhodys” know
much about him. If they did, not one of
them hut would feel a touch of sadness on
account of his death. Sam Ward was at
once one of the best fellows and best
judges of a good dinner that ever lived.
The story of his life will make a romance
of more than ordinary interest. It has
already been given a nook in history in
F. Marion Crawford’s “Dr. Claudius,” the
doctor being none other than the genial
Uncle Sam.
Mr. Ward is survived by two sisters,
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and Mrs. Luther
Terry, of Rome. The son of the latter lady
by her marriage with the late Mr. Craw
ford, the sculptor, is F. Marion Crawford.
Mr. Ward was born in 180S, with a golden
spoon in his mouth, his father being one
of the originators of the great banking
house of Prime, Ward & King. The
father not only possessed a fortune,
but knew how to enjoy it, and
lavished both good living and plenty of
money on his promising son. Ward saw
Europe, and on his return married the
only daughter of William B. Astor, a son
of the original Jacob, the founder of the
Astor family, then the wealthiest man in
America. "The married couple led a
happy and a hospitable life for a few
years, but in 1849 Mrs. Ward died, and
desiring some change Ward was sent to
California as the resident partner of
Prime, Ward & King. Being in absolute
control of the business of the great firm
he represented, Mr. YY'ard. with an enter
prise which was not justified at the time,
entered into a number ol mone
tary speculations which were prema
ture and, although the State of
California was much encouraged, the
firm he was representing there was Y'ery
decidedly embarrassed. Naturally the
concern in the East remonstrated, and ii
their embarrassment doubtless visited
their wrath upon their unfortunate agent
in no small scope, and almost immediate
ly thereafter the Sam YY’ard ol New York,
London, Paris and Vienna disappeared
absolutely from the worlds of finance
and society and led a thorough
ly roughing life in the tdftghest
period of California history. Precisely
what he did and where he went nobody
ever knew. Alter a lew year’6 absence
Mr. Ward reappeared in Neiv York with
his pockets filled with money and his
personality surcharged with continuous
and effervescent good humor. He speedily
became the lion of society. Among the
reigning “queens of society” was a Miss
Medora Grvmes. a belle like her mother.
She become Mrs.YVard No. 2. Unfortunate
ly Mrs. Grvmes had a distinct recollection
of her belleship in the ballrooms of Louis
iana, and domestic troubles ensued, dur
ing which his finances encountered a
shoal a fid hi# hark upset, and in the gen
eral confusion his und his mother-in
law left him in the lurch and soug’ut the
seclusion which the gay Parisian
capital afiorde. Again Mr. Ward {disap
peared from the social world. He again
reappeared in the East, however, during
the days of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
Johnson, at which time he turned up in
YY’ashington and lor years remained there
during the season, a recognized power,
sought, respected, trusted and paid by all
who had wires to pull or axes to grind.
When Andrew Johnson returned to
the capitol, Mr. Ward found him
self possessed of greater influence than
any score “of lobbyists who might oppose
him, and later, when Grant was President,
although Mr. Ward was in apparent hos
tility and at times in real active opposi
tion’to the administration, he was yet a
power.
Between Mr. Ward and the great Cali
fornia speculator, Mr. James It. Keene,
there existed a very close and intimate
friendship. It is well-known that Mr.
Keene rendered Ward financial assist
ance, hut whether in the way of pointers
when he made his quickly lost fortune,
or money when the broken-down old man
sailed for Europe, is not certainly known.
Mr. Ward died as he lived with a smile
on his face and a group of fast friends at
iiis side.
BARRETT’S FAILURE IN ENGLAND.
In theatrical circles this week Law
rence Barrett’s failure in London has
been one of the topics most on the tongue.
An interesting little hit of scandal is told
in this connection. Shortly before his de
but a story was set afloat to the effect that
i the Princess of W ales had fallen desperate
| ly in love with Barrett while he was pay-
I iiig England a social visit, and was senti
| mental in her desire to see him upon the
stage.
j Barrett denied an accusation that he
was the author ol the libel, and was truth
ful in his declaration that he had taken
no hand in promulgating it. It Yvas sub
sequently developed that one of Barrett’s
authorized agents had fathered the story,
thinking that it Yvould create a furore
that would pack the Lyceum from
pit to topmost gallery. ’ If the
story had any effect at all it certainly
was not iu his direction, ills engage
ment covered six weeks. In that time
his losses aggregated $40,000 or about
SI,OOO a night. Barrett has generally,
however, been acquitted of any com
plicity in the agent’s mistake.
A BOGUS JERSEY LILY.
Avery pretty girl who has “forsaken the
lily and languor of virtue for the roses
and rapture of vice” has recently created
considerable of a scandal by palming
herself off on gullible dudes as the genuine
Jersey Lily. Madame, l’aret’s garden,
now closed because it was a little too fast
even for the metropolis, was situated in
a couY'enient place uptown. Madame
Paret professed to sell no liquors, and, ot
course, took out no license lor their sale.
She became a silent partner in a couple
of neighboring bar rooms, however, and
none of her customers were compelled to
go away thirsty. It was a pretty
little place, laid off with trees, among
which arbors, seats and tables were scat
tered in convenient profusion. Among
those who frequented the resort was a
young woman who always came in just
after the theatres had closed, and who left
a sufficient part of her face and form un
concealed to disclose a remarkable like
ness to Gehhardt’s Jersey Lily.
This, of course, set the
dudes agog without further ado.
Selecting a half tipsy member of that fra
ternity as her victim the girl, in a mo
ment of frankness, would confess to him,
professing to believe that he had pene
trated her disguise, that she was Mrs.
Langtry, and beg her presence in the
place be not divulged. In nearly every
instance, of course, the scheme worked
like a charm, and the re
ceipts of Madame Paret for
Yvines rapidly increased. When the
Madame finally came to grief and the
girl appeared in court as a witness, her
resemblance to the Langtry was generally
remarked. She was rather prettier, hut
not so graceful or refined. She was Eng
lish, and had the right accent for the role
which she undertook. She bleached her
hair to the Langtry light brown and wore
it in the Langtry "style of last season, so
familiar in the pictures of the professional
beauty. Take her altogether she was a
counterfeit Yvell calculated to deceive an
inexperienced observer. Her success in
passing herself for the genuine article
lay partly in her audacity, hut chiefly in
the fact that she did not olten address
anybody who had not imbibed lreely of
the champagne.
German Speculators Indignant.
Berlin, May 21.—The Liberal newspa
pers violently attack the bill to he intro
duced in the Reichstag increasing the
taxes on Bourse and other financial oper
ations. They say it is calculated to in
terfere with" speculation and injure the
inxestment market. Such a law, they
claim, would especially damage the Ber
lin Bourse. The fe*'li"ng in commercial
circles is one of indignation. The adop
tion of the bill by the Reichstag is therc
lore doubtful.
