EASTER SUNDAY’S FARADS.
onrrible Condition of the Streets of
B '' the Metropolis.
NeW York, April IC.—The polished
and finished articles which appeared
' the New York papers concerning the
!,vd parade of beauty uud fashion on Fifth
n i'ric Easter Sunday convey about as ae
''.'•itcau impression of the actual condition
f nff-iirs as the sinuous prospectus of a
VlVu mine. When the ladies stepjied out
Vboir houses for the annual show their

S’ t 0 writing about the nastiness and filth
If the streets of New York as there is about
'vervtbing that is repulsive. It is not a
pleasant subject at best, and it is ignored
ivith extraordinary pei-sistency by the Now
Y i-k papers. Still, the most important fac
tor in New York life to-day is the dirt and
i ust the public streets. Nobody who has
lot seen New York at the present time can
nve an idea of the enormity of this abuse.
On Easter Sunday I walked from the Bruns
,rek to the Windsor Hotel with three men,
aid when we arrived there, and stood
viping the refuse from our eyes and mouths
md ears, we met several others,and the group
it once fell to talking about the dust and'
jit All our coats were black—or hud been
-but when we arrived at the Windsor they
were as completely covered by all manner of
jilt and dust although they had beenrolled
n the public streets.
It is mouths since the streets have been
iroperly swept and Fifth avenue and
iroadwav are particularly vile. The fronts
the houses, the steps, window sills, awn
n,rS, railings and every cornice and lintel is
onked deep with dirt and manure. One
•- aid have planted potatoes on the Easter
ion nets of the New York women un hour
ifter tliey had been ou Fifth avenue. The
■xpkuiutiou that I hour is one not much to
he credit of the city. The Street Cleaning
department is to-day in the hands of a ring
hat is absolutely master of the usual ehan
iels of information. Once in a great while
he papers make a feeble spurt of indignat
ion, hut it amounts to nothing, and the
.(forts to inaugurate a live crusade invaria
)lv fail. It is not diffi
cult te imagine the influence
vhi6h keeps the papers mum. New
York, from being the worst governed city
n the world, has now become the dirtiest,
uid the Easter parade was a thing of the
irilliant and polished imaginations of the
enters of the New York press, for, in reality,
t was a dismal, dirty, itching and disgust
ng wallow through a simoon of nastiness
uid dust. But there was one gleam of light
trough it all. A universal smile swept
tom one end of Fifth avenue to the other in
;he wake of a gorgeous spectacle in purple
u>d white that appeared about l o’clock. It
nas during the densest period of the dirt
:loud that Mr. Hairy Miner, theatrical
manager, swung into Fifth avenue and
toiled northward. He was the most bril-
Saut spectacle I have ever seen. Exactly
why a man sir >uld dross like an ass simply
Decause lie is in the theatrical
business, I shall never be able to
inderstand. Mr. Miner is a man of large
jirtli, small chest and ponderous carriage,
lis somewhat extensive face is ornamented
by an exceedingly small moustache, the ends
sf which are twisted and waxed skyward.
Dn Sunday he wore a purple frock coat, the
ihiniest of hats with a broad ribbon, a scar
,et tie, and so on. The effect was simply
Dverwhelming and greatly enhanced bv the
[act that the lady who accompanied Mr.
Miner was dressed in purple velvet, the
sann* shade as the manager’s coat. Several
mall boys followed the bright coat of the
grotesquely dressed theatrical man, imbued
n ail likelihood by the earnest hope that he
would break out in what his variety actors
call a “gentlemanly song and dance act.”
Mr. Miner was dressed for it, at all events.

Some of the Jokes That Have Passed
Into History,
New York, April 10. —The recent hoax
whereby the Evening Sun , of New York,
was lured into printing an acrostic that was
extremely uncomplimentary to Mr. Dana,
recalls a number of such jokes which have
passed into newspaper history. Many an
editor has been victimized by communica
tions which he did not know wero loaded.
Most of these have been coarse, many ob
scene, anil a few really witty. The perpe
trators ot these acts are seldom detected,
nougu extraordinary efforts have been
made ui many cases. About a century ago,
however, a woman in Germany' was con
. T “ av ing changed a sentence ad
dressed to Eve, in Genesis, in which man is
spoken of as lord of the woman, “And he
snaUbethy lord.” This passage she made
z - v , changing the word “herr” to
narr, ‘And he shall be thy fool.” As
Greek ofoid was tired of hearing Arts

MILLINER’S ROW.
Shops which Have Held Their Ground
for Two Generations.
New York, April 10. —Not one of the
grand dames whose Easter bonnets and
gowns, as they appeared on Fifth and Madi
son avenues, w'ere as true harbingers of
spring, last Sunday, as the balmy breezes
and blooming- crocuses, bought her ouflt in
Division street. Probably not one in ten
thousand was ever in Division street, knows
where it is or ever heard of the twenty-eight
millinery' shops that stand there all in a row,
and stood there years before most of the
ladies in fashionable society in New York
were born.
Fifty year's ago tradesmen in this city
dealing in the same lines of goods were more
gregarious than to-day. Not only were the
leather men all in “The Swamp,” as now',
but the hatters and furriers were all in a
row on the lower end of Broadway'; the
largest dry goods establishments were on the
same thoroughfare in the neighborhood of
Cedar and Pino, streets, alt hough there were
one or two very large stores on Catharine
street. Among the shops that dealt in gen
tlemen’s and ladies’ furnishing goods and
milliners were on Division street. The
Madison square of that day was Chatham
square; the Fifth avenue was on East Broad
way, with some of the stately' residences of
the merchant prince on Pike, Madison and
neighboring streets, and the Harlem lane
was the Bowery.
The advance in rents scattered the hatters
and furriers many years ago. The great
dry goods stores followed their customers up
town. The Catharine street shops went into
Grand street; Chatham square was given
up to manufactories, gin mills, beer gar
dens, concert saloons and low dives. The
substantial residences ou East Broadway
and neighboring streets were first boarding
houses and then began to swarm with He
brews. But the millinery shops still stood
there in a row on Division street, between
thirty and forty of them.
The prim and precise old Quakers who
lived on the opposite (west) side of the
street, who owned most of the property
there and whose wives kept some of the mil
linery shops, have disappeared. You might
elbow your way up and down the narrow,
dark, dirty street, from which the light is
shut out by the Second avenue elevated
railroad, with its eternal clatter, every day
for a year and not meet with a carefully
brushed, broad-brim silk hat, snuff-colored,
shad-bellied coat, or a pair of knee breeches,
or see the delicat- > drab gown, sugar-scoop
bonnet and spotless white kerchief of the
Quaker’s wife. But the millinery shops re
main, the most of them, as though they
were permanent fixtures attached to the
soil.
AVhen the wealth and fashion of New
York surrendered East Broadway to the
boarding-house keepers, tbo milliners who
made their artistic hats and bonnets fol
lowed them uptown; but another grade of
architects of women’s headgear stood ready
to move in with a cheajier though no less
showy stock. They, too, had their day, to
be succeeded in turn by the present genera
tion of Jewish milliners,when their country
men crowded out of the neighborhood the
respectable boarding-houses. And so we
have the strange spectacle, for New York,
of a line of business clinging to the spot
where it was planted two generations ago,
adapting itself from year to year to the
changed surroundings, until a complete
revolution has been wrought.
But the elevated railroad has probably
sealed the doom of the Division street mil
linery trade. Gaps have begun to appear
in the hitherto unbroken row, and the “To
Let” card Is now to be seen in several win
dows. Twenty-eight only now remain
where a few years ago there were about
thirty-five, and no new ones move into the
places of those who have gone to Grand and
other streets. X. L. White.
REMINISCENCES OF RAYMOND.
Some Points About the Character of
“Col. Sellers.”
New York, April 16.—50 John T. Ray
mond is dead! I was in Washington last
Sunday when the sad news came, and it re
called vefry vividly the annual engagements
he used to play as “Col. Mulberry Sellers” at
the old National Theatre, when members of
Congress and their families were accus
tomed to crowd the auditorium and laugh
until their sides would almost split over Ills
inimitable presentation of the character.
The “Col. Sellerses” were more plentiful in
Washington in those days than now, and
Raymond’s caricature of them was so good
as to afford unlimited amusement to those
who met his prototype in the corridors of the
eapitol every day. The old “Senator,” too,
we used to think' in those days that we knew
the original in real political life. I recall a
chumung breakfast at Welcker's that f
once attended, given in Mr. Raymond’s
honor. Our host was “Dick” Irwin,
who was subsequently shut tip in the old
jail of the District of Columbia for contempt
of the House of Representatives in refusing
to answer questions put to him in the Pacific
Mail subsidy investigation Old Sam Ward
was one of the guests. The dinner tvus in
every way enjoyable Mr. Raymond said
then" what I presume be has frequently told
on other occasions, that Mark Twain’s con
ception of the character of “Col. Sellers”
and his own, as finally presented upon the
stage, were wo different as not to be recog
nizable as the same, in fact, he claimed
that there was more of his own creation in
it as lie acted it than lie got from the author
of “The Gjldcd Age.” John T. Raymond
had hosts of friends among the public men
of Washington, and I know of no actor
whose death would lie more regretted than
his was. Z. L. White.

An ingenious way of checking the horse
stealers, which arc the plague of the Baltic
provinces, ha;; been adopted by the Courlanil
authorities. They have supplied ail rural

with albums containing the portrait.! of all
notorious horse strain's of the province and
of their accomplices, with detailed particu
lars of their residence, and note* of t,ic cuses
in which they havebiien involved. The al
bums contain SOT jsirtraits of iiersmis of
many ililfcront luitionaUties, Bohemians,
Jews, Russians, Is'Us, l.it liuauiaus anil Ger
mans figuring among them. The youngest
of tlie thieves is 17 years old and the doyen
of the “corporation" in 7h, \\) .do (amilien

PATTI AT THE METROPOLITAN.
Still the Greatest Singer of the Age.
New York, April 10.—There was an ex
traordinary contrast at tiie Metropolitan
Opera House Monday night. Patti xvas
singing “Traviata.” It was her first ap
Iterance in New York magnificent
new opera house, and the occasion xvas a
gala one. Ail the old opera-goers who were
formerly such stanch supporters of the
Academy of Music, and who have been the
personal friends and fervid admirers of Mine.
Adelina Patti ever since she made her first
appearance here, twenty-five years ago, were
there. Every seat was occupied, and the
boxes were crowded by the fashion, beauty
and wealth of New York. It wns such a
throng as never turned out for Ger
man opera. Maploson’s repeated fail
ures dragged Patti down several sea
sons ago, and this occasion was seized upon
for a Patti ovation. As for the diva her
self, she is as young, sprightly and graceful
as ever, while her marvelous voice possesses
all its old-time flexibility, beauty, purity
and force. She is the eighth wonder of the
world, for the luxuries of a pampered life,
the adulation of the civilized world, from
monarchs to pau)>ers, and the fierce strain
of incessant publicity have left her at the
age of forty-three as childlike, joyous and
radiant as a debutante at her first bail.
Other green opera singers have gro\m
wheezy, fat, unwieldy, cranky and sordid
and wlint, not at the age of thirty, and none
has reached her fortieth year and still re
tained not only her youth and beauty, hut
still held a position of unassailable eminence
in the artistic world. Patti is to-day the
greatest of prima donnas, just as she was a
quarter of a century ago.
The curtain has gone down on the second
act and the applause was deafening. Voices
rose in sharp “bravos” from various parts
of the house and hundreds of women leaned
from their boxes, beaming upon the idol of
the hour. The stage was deluged with flow
ers, and even the orchestra had caught tho
excitement. All along in the middle of the
stage was Patti bowing and courtesying be
fore the tribute of spontaneous admiration
from the frantic thousands packed in the
gilded opera house.
I went out into the lobby, where the roars
of applause still followed me, and was going
toward the smoking room when a man
caught my arm and said half savagely:
“Good fcod, what a sight that is. ’
I followed the direction of his eyes and
saw Selina Dolaro standing at the entrance
of the opera house, gazing with a rapt and
eager look at the interior of the house. The
roar reached her ears. Her big black eyes
blazed with the excitement of the moment.
She leaned heavily against the doorway.
Her face was wasted and white. She
seemed to be drinking in the echo of tho
roaring applause.
“1 spoke to her a moment ago,” continued
the clubman, still clasping my arm convul
sively. “I asked her now she was and she
said simply: ‘Pm a dead woman walking
Broadway.’ ’
“Is she alone?”
“No. There’s an escort further back. See
how she moves up to hear the applause. 1
remember when she was as much the idol
of London as Patti is of New York to-night.
What a beautiful woman she was, tool”
A thousand scenes shifted through mv
mind as I stood there looking at the wreck
of one of the most beautiful women who
ever graced the New York stage. For a
long time Selina Dolaro was the rage. At
the height of her fame she was stricken
down by hasty consumption. The ravages
of the disease were awful. The dramatic
profession, which is always generous to the
unfortunate, extended a helping hand to her
in her need. She had not been seen in pub
lic for a long time until she managed to go
to the opera house that night. She stood
without the portals, a shadow of her former
self, listening to tho echoes of the trium
phant success within. Blakely Hall.
Webster Sees Himself on Canvas.
Erom the Boston Transcript.
A lady of one of the old families living
near Boston related to the Listener yesterday
an incident of Daniel Webster whih has
never been in print before. This lady hap
pened to be one of a few friends who went
with Mr. Webster to the hall where hung on
exhibition, previous to its final location in
Fanueil Hall, Mr. Healy’s now famous paint
ing representing Webstar making his reply
to Hayne. “Mr. Webster,” said the lady,
“was very feeble, and was led in by the ar
tist. Ascending the platform which com
manded a view of the picture, Webster
looked at it for some minutes, making some
pleasant observations to his friends resect
ing the different Senators and the various
points of interest on the canvas. This por
trait and that were spoken of, and even tho
pages recognized. Finally, tinning to go,
Mr. Webster quietly remarked:
“ ‘And as for that man, standing there in
the centre—well, I’ve seen better looking
men in my day than he!’”

About twenty year* ago I discovered a little sore on tny check, and the doctors pro-"" 1
nonoeed it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any i>erxna
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialist!!. The medicine tnoy applied
■was like fire to the sore, causing intense pom. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. 8. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before i had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was herding up. My general
health had been had for two or three years—l haa a hacking coegn ana spit hlood contin
ually. I had a severe pain m my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter than I had been lo- several years. Jly cancer has healed over all bet)
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to giTc S. S. S. a fair trial.
