HRS. 1.ESI.IK CARTER 8 DEBUT—THE IIOKSK SHOW AND THE SWAGGER SET. THE CHRYSANTHEMUM CRAZE. HARMONY IN HOSE. \kvv York, November i'S.—[Special.]— 1 sat among hundreds of people the other night to see a woman make her debut as i -tress, a wo n in entirely unknown to me, whom I had never seen, yet about whom i had read and heard much; read and heard so much that I began to think the.re wouldn't he so much clatter if there was any truth back of it all. And while I was WAITING FOR THE CURTAIN TOGO UR i thought out this: there can’t he any thing wrong in a woman who is willing to work for her child's sake; there can’t he anything wrong in a woman who for a year lias worked and striven that she might present to the, public a play that was not tiie hurried result of a few rehearsals, but in which she gave the best of herself, the long labor of months. No people in the world are as quick to judge and as quick to repent as the Americans, and I could not believe, although hosts of clubmen and fashionable women were about me, tiiat any had come there to jeer. DEVILS IN HUMAN FORM. What is yjur past, my friend? What is the past of your friend? What is the past of your friend’s friend? Is there any little searpipon any of them,and if there is,don’t you think that the present can f.equently take out whatever wrong there was in the past. If you don't think this, if you don’t give every human being the right to try and do better, the right that God Himself gives, then you are—what? Shall I tell plainly? A devil in human form. MRS. I.ESI.IE carter’s DEBUT. I thought all this out while the curtain was down, and when it went up, and after most of the company were on the stage, there came, gracefully and a little timidly, the woman whom everybody had come to see—Mrs. Leslie Carter. With a long cloak draping her gown, with a feather- trimmed hat over her beautiful hair, she stood for a second as if half inviting criti cism and half afraid of it, and so entirely in sympathy with her was that audience, that she got a welcome that was as hearty as it was true. In a few minutes the hat was tossed aside, the cloak was dropped, and then I saw the woman. In a pretty simple gown of pink and white she stood there slender, lissome and brave, but there was a little catch in her voice, once or twice she.laughed as if tears were strug gling hard to come uppermost, hut she went on and on until, when the curtain dropped, the audience called and called, and when she made her little how she knew that again a woman had triumphed, and that the future looked bright. .1 list BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN? Not a bit of it, hut because as the. pisy went on the woman merged into the ac tress, and people opened their eyes wide and said, ‘‘Why. this woman is a profes sional, not an amateur.” Then they remembered the awkwardness of Mrs. Langtry as slm fits walked across the stage of Wattack's Tina re; they were reminded of the frightful gaueberies of Mrs. Potter as she openly admired herself and gave the audience the same privilege, and they thought that after all, because a woman had been unhappy that was no reason why she shouldn’t succeed, and the women gave little sighs and thought perhaps unhappi ness was sometimes an incentive to suc cess. Mrs. Leslie Carter as an actress is a suc cess. NATUUE HAS KEEN KIND TO HER in giving her superb ruddy brown hair, large, soft eyes, and a slender graceful fig ure. The one defect in her face is her mouth, which is extremely large: but as her teeth are perfect, this little fault is for gotten, and when she is less nervous her mouth will not twitch so, and in that way will become less noticeable. In the st-ene that called for strong acting she was quite equal to the occasion, and used her voice with good effect. I think that here is an actress who will do well in comedies that are not quite melodramas and that arc not yet fare s. Unknown and unknowing, I wish her God-speed. HORSEY MEN AND WOMEN. The swagger set in New York this week is pervading the horse show. The swagger set is largely inclined to look horsey. The men are eitiier imitating their groom, or are permitting their grooms to closely im itate them. This at once has its advan tages and its disadvantages, but it was rather funny to see a generous girl tip a well-known clubman because she thought lie was one of the grooms in her father’s stable, and had given special attention to Iter riding horse. Horsey gentleman al ways suggest gentlemanly horses. You know the kind that look well enough to ride for a while, are then given to the children to drive, and eventually end their lives in the service of the cabman. New York can give a very good horse show,but it must be confessed that New York does not make a very smart showing of car riages in the Park. London and Paris are so far ahead of us in that respect. LAWS OF CARRIAGE ETIQUETTE. A woman with lovely persistency con cludes she can have a trap any way she wants, and she does, with entire disregard of the fact that there are certain laws, rules and regulations laid down for car riage etiquette. In the first place, the average New York woman sits in the wrong place; she ought always to he on the right of the carriage behind her coachman. In the second place, she is given over to the jangling of chains,which is a worse stamp of vulgarity than a claret livery with white collars and cuffs and gold braid. Then the carriage is by no means immaculate. There doesn't seem to be any capable body to order the stable l>eople just how to keep it, and her foot man is too apt to want a rod applied to him to make him sit up. He ought to look as if he had swallowed hoard which had attached itself to his spinal column, and if there were three thousand accidents he ought to look perfectly impassive and he is entirely unmoved. When such a foot man is gotten he is a treasure. The most correct livery is a dark one, blue or black being preferred. The boot-tops should he white, the coat have velvet, collar and narrow velvet cuffs, the gloves white, and the hat should shine as if it were an ad vertisement for some polishing stove stuff. The storm coats should be of white rubber and in winter time, when the fur capes are worn, they should be of black bear skin. On a hansom—that is, a private one —the driver does not wear a livery at all, and this is done to distinguish him from the ordinary hansom driver, who always wears a iivery. Instead he wears a box coat, his collar and scarf is immaculate, and his high hat has a marvelous polish, while his gloves are the dark tan ones such as a gentleman would wear if he were driving. In time New York will learn the ethics in carriages, and then we may hope to see as fine a showing as is made in Paris or London. With all its wealth there is not today in New York City a turnout that either for correctness or for beauty com pared with Mrs. Langtry’s, which by the by took the prize at the show two years ago. THF. CHRYSANTHEMUM CRAZE. Chrysanthemums are growing bigger and bigger, until they nearly approach the size, of sunflowers, and the young woman who wishes to be considered specially good form walks down the avenue in a close fitting cloth gown, a cloth bonnet, and a huge chrysanthemum fastened on her bonnet, and a huge chrysanthemum fastened on h< r bodice. Usually this is white, and then her gloves and her card case match it. Harmony has taken pos session of of tiie New York girl, and her efforts at making everything accord are at once amusing and commendable. When the chrysanthemum goes the orchid will take its place, and the young man who sends the flower will groan and moan ami wish that orchids never grew, or, if they did, that the florists would understand his state of mind and the condition of his purse, and reduce the price of them. woman’s influence in banks. I heard a funny thing a few days ago about one of the largest banks here. 1 was gleefully showing eight silver quar- te rs and announcing that I had cashed a check for two dollars and gotten it all in this way, when the man to whom I was talking said, “Do you know they always make it a point to be civil to women in that bank? And can you guess the rea son why?” Of course I said I couldn't, hut supposed it was because women were so nice. ‘‘Nonsense,” he answered, ‘‘it’s because they know that if they are not civil to women that women will induce men to remove large accounts from there to some other hank.’’ Wasn’t this a lovely tribute to the influence of woman? A GALLANT new YOKK CASHIER. Then I remembered afterward that one Saturday morning a line of about twenty irate women were kept waiting while the cashier told me what a certified check was. I hadn't one and didn't want one, but as I saw the name up I thought 1 would like to know what it was. Of course 1 knew it wasn’t anythiug to eat or drink, hut I thought it had something to do with the marriage ceremony on account of its being certified. I am not exactly clear about it yet, though the cashier brought all his brain power to hear upon me, and I smiled my sweetest and said “how nice,” and when 1 went home and told the family about it the masculine part of it called me a delightful idiot, but again announced that they would like to see any cashier in New York take the time to inform a man about anything. There are a number of advantages attached to being a woman: for one thing, you do get such a lot of information. harmonyJin hosiery. The latest fad in stockings is the tartan; the plaid extends midway of the leg, and above that is a plain color. The Gordon, Stewart, AlacDuff, and Argyles are already to the fore, and uudonbtedly the lesser clans will make their appearance in due lime. And what sort of a garter do you suppose is worn with them? One that has for its clasp a thistle wrought out in silver with a purple cairngorm for the heart of the flower! Isn’t that beautifully harmo nious? A WOMAN’S IDEA OK HARMONY. There is nothing, after all, like being in harmony with yourselves and your fellow man. \Ye are in harmony about, the McKinley Hill—what sort of a bill is it that raises the price of champagne, of broadcloth, and of pretty powder puffs? We are all in harmony as regards the value of the typewriter—what would the editors do with the people wito can't write clearly if it weren't for her? We art- all in harmony about the beauty of the close-fitting cloth suit—that is, when it is worn by the right woman, the one whose curves are caught on to even by the irreverent messenger boy. We are all in h..rmony about the value of the telegraph, though we fail to see why a telegraph operator can’t learn to spell correctly, and why, if your name is Katherine with a K, he will spell it with a C. We are all in harmony as to the v due of the new bonnet, though to be sure its value, as rated by me, may be different from that as rated by the milliner. We are all in harmony about pleasant men and pretty women, the more of them there are the more there will be to drink that funny little toast of the Clover Club. “A long life and a merry one— A quick death and a happy one— A pretty girl and a true one— A cold bottle and another one.” That’s a good wish, and it comes from yours harmoniously. Bah. AUBURN ANNALS. Auburn, Ala., November “8.—[Spe cial.]—Services were held yesterday at the Methodist, Baptist and Episcopalian churches. The public debate at Langdon Hall last night was opened with prayer by Kev. W. A. ltiee, followed by the orator, Duncan McDougald, and was a great success and afforded a splendid entertainment for the villagers of Auburn. The question under debate was: “Resolved, That suffrage he restricted to an educational basis.” Tltosj speaking in the affirmative were Cadets C. I,. Hare and R. 1). McAllister: those in the negative, Cade's L. W. Payne and Heflin. While all of these young men ac quitted themselves with much credit and called forth loud applause from the audi ence. Mr. Heflin deserves special mention as having made one of the best, most forcible and argumenrative speeches ever delivered by a cadet before an Auburn audience. The English soldier is in reality the worst paid in the world. He gets a shil ling a day. Hut he is charged three pence for support, anti in addition has to pay for potatoes, bread, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, salt, pepper; for his plate, hi« dish, his pail, his soap, and the cleaning material for his arms, lie gets two shirts and three pairs of socks that are expected to last seven years, if sick he is charged for hospital care. The extension of Gadsden's limits is the all-absorbing question now. The project ors of Alabama City are doing all in their power to prevent Gadsden from extending her limits, but the bill has passed the House, and there is no doubt bat what it will pass the Senate.

The court has adopted the 19th of .January, Gen. Lee’s birthday, as its anniversary and on that date will hold a grand re-union at the Brunswick Hotel. * * * It remained for a young society girl from the South to give a new idea to New Yorkers. She had heard a number of her acquaintance complain of the stupidity of of modern affairs—of the emptiness of the punch bowl—the sloppiness of the af ternoon tea, and though she may have wished to remind them of progressive eu chre and angling and such, she refrained, being wise and evolved a new entertain ment. This she demonstrated the “Bon net Party.” It is of necessity a “smail,” though not necessarily an “early.” Every young woman guest brings, in a paper hag, ribbons, plush or velvet, flowers, a “frame”—in a word all the materials for making a bonnet, and these as tightly sealed as Pandora’s box ought to have been are placed in a row on a table in read iness for every young man to draw one. As soon as all have drawn thirty minutes are given the young man in which to trim the bonnets, while the girls gossip and dis port themselves after the feminine fash ion when women are in the ascendant and more numerous. The thirty minutes up the bonnets are exhibited and then the fun which you must imagine has been brisk already increases to well bred hilarity. Those bonnets! What new emotions they would arouse in the breast of Vilas! They are trimmed, indeed, and some of them look as though the work had been done by Vulcan or a cyclone on end. so flamboyant are ribbons, feathers and flowers; while others, and these must have beenjfashioned by young men who had suffered from the high theatre hat nuisance, are. as flat as pancakes. It is admitted that a few—a very few—of the trimmers showed much taste and artistic judgment, hut the hor rors were in the large majority. Just what reward in the way of “prizes” the young men receive after their labor of pinning and cutting and outraging good taste by outre combinations varies with the fancy of the hostess. But tile bonnet parlies usually break up in ; carpet dance Tuesday was a day of many weddings and one of the prettiest oe.ienmities of them all, and indeed of the whole season was that uniting Assistant District Attor ney McKenzie Semple and Miss Aimee Coc- dert. Tiie wedding took place at the church of St. Francis Xavier, one of the largest and handsomest of New York churches. Tiie six bridesmaids created a sensation at their entrance. They were all dressed in gowns of white silk lawn fashioned in the style of the first empire with long white ribbons depending from their hair and bunches of purple violets at their waists. The bridal gown was of heavy white satin trimmed with point lace witli a train three yards and a half long. A large reception followed the the ceremony at the home of the bride’s parents on Forty-ninth street. A remarked guest at this wedding was a lady with abundant masses of bronze chestnut hair, large gray eyes anti a strik ingly mobile and handsome face. This was Mrs M. French Sheldon, who came over from England with the Stanley party a few weeks ago. Mrs. Sheldon is an American lady who lias lived much of her life abroad and is tlie author of several successful novels. She is always spoken of, however, in connection with her re markable translation of Flaubert’s S ilamtn- bo. To the work of rendering this won derful book into English, a work, which before iter nobody had the courage to un dertake. so great were the difficulties, Mrs. Sheldon devoted four years of steady, un remitting labor. Ther -u't. was that site gave to the world an English equivalent of Flaubert’s masterpiece, which is con ceded by critics to he perfect. Mrs. Shel don sails in January for Kilimanjaro on the east coast of Africa. Sin* will he ac companied by an a-wort of fifteen men selected for her bv Mr. Stanley ami by one other woman, her secretary. Carried in a hammock she will penetrate, as far into the interior as it will he safe for her to go—certainly to places where no white woman has ever b ten before. The object of this trip is a work which she has iong had in view on the “Romance ot Af rica.” Count and Count, ss de Brazza are ex pected hy the friends of the Countess to arrive on the Champagne. They will spend most of the month of December in this city and then go on to ,Washington | pie would hav and South to the old home of the bride, j However, it. is f This renewal, however, was not effected until after much agitation. The miners drew up a scale of wages which was five cents per ton in advance of the scale adopted, and the companies refused to ac- ] cept it. The old contracts were renewed anil it was thought all was satisfactory. Now William Scaife came to North Ala bama and tells the miners, as he himself says, that he has been sent here by the national executive board of the United Mine Workers of America to see that the men get more pay, and that in case the demands for more pay is refused he is au thorized to order a general strike. Scaife came and st irred the whole matter up, and has- accomplished one thing, and that is a strike. He called the miners together and had them appoint commit tees, who agreed to demand an advance of five cents, notwitstanding the fact that they are working under a contract which does not expire un til next July. The demands were made and referred, the operators replying that the miners' present contract extended un til July next. In the face of all these facts the miners propose to break their contract and inau gurate the biggest st rike ever known South tomorrow. The slike was ordered at the meeting of the committee Thursday last, at which Scaife was present. The opera tors, who seem to be on the right side, are firm in their determination not to accede to the miners’ demands. They regard Scaife as an impostor, and it is openly charged that Scaife is employed by Northern capitalists who are interested in iron making, and whose business has been materially cut into hy Southern iron, which has been sold in Northern markets cheaper than they themselves could make it, and have sent Scaife South to agitate the miners and work up a strike in order to paralyze the Southern iron trade, which, of course, will work benefit to the same business up North, where no labor trouble, exists. Hardly had this charge been hinted two weeks ago when Scaife rushed into public print with a card denying it, and taking occasion to correct what he termed false rumors and posing as a man who came here by order to benefit the miners’ condition by getting more pay for them. If it is true that he was sent South to work up a strike it can be said oi hint that he has done his duty well, for the strike is verv largely on. Its effects will be felt far and wide, as it will almost paralyze Business of ali classes, affecting as it will every industy to some extent.. Already the furnace men are preparing for it by banking their coke mines and getting ready to blow out all their furnaces. Only the furnaces of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Ralroad ( otnpa- ny at Eusley City and those of the Stoss Iron and Steel Company at North Bir mingham will continue to run, as coal will be furnished them by convict labor, which never strikes. More than twenty-one furnaces will be forced to close in a week or two if the strike rontinues that iong. Present indications are that it will he a long and bitter struggle. Again it brings the great question of reliable and satisiae- tory labor before public gaze. Already m-nyof the union operators are said to be preparing to introduce coal mining machines and employ negro labor ers to operate them. The Virgina and Alabama Coal Compa ny, with mines at Patton, Ala., havethree machines successfully in operation in two of their mines, and will import a lot of negroes from Mississippi tomorrow night to operate the machines. Other mining companies are said to have emigrant agents in North Carolina hunt ing up negroes in order to bring them to Aiabama to work in the mines. If ne groes take the places of staking white men bloodshed will follow, as threats have al ready been made and the feeling is very hitter. The miners all laid down riieir picks to night at Blocton, Blue Creek, i’ratt mines, Coalburg, Brookside, Blossburg and other places, and declare they will not return to morrow unless their demands are com plied with. This means the strik » is on. BLESSED WITH BUG 11. Birmingham and all North Alabama re juices at the re-election of Senator Juiues L. Pugh to t it** Uni ed States Senate, after j a close and hot snuggle among the legis lators for ten days. North Alabamians recognized the fact that Pugh was the | ablest and best, man for the place. His experience alone, not to mention his other superior traits of statesmanship, warrants his return to the Senate. North Alabama was for him almost solidly, and the victory is enjoyed hy none more than these people In view of the fact 1hat Georgia has elected the gallant Gordon and Alabama has returned Pugh, should the demented Tiilrnau worshipers of South Carolina have good judgment and patriotism enough to reelect ‘lie old war-hots*-, vV ade Hampton, and the Tar-Heelers send Zeb Vance back to the Senate.
