4 GAY GIRLS OF GOTHAM. THEY ASTONISH THE NATIVES AND MAKE VISITORS STARE. Gorgeous Gin Palaces - The Peddlers of Sweet Flag and Mint —The Many Ways that a Living is Made in a Great City. New York, June 18.—New York is brilliant when on wheels. The care that is lavished on the stables of thousands of men and women here makes the east drive in the park the most brilliant and showy place in New York. Fifth avenue is lined with harness shops and the salesrooms of big Carriage factories, and no man achieves eminence so quickly in society as the one who shines through the perfection of his Btable. The American girl is pushing herself forward on the east drive of the park, as ah,, i s everywhere else. She is not content to 101 l in a victoria, like her sister in Paris, or sit primly in the corner of a British brougham, She drives. Nothing fazes her, and occasionally she is what the vulgar call “a sight.” For instance, yesterday I saw a big T cart rooling down the drive with an amount of pomposity, noise and show that would shame au old-time circus band wagon. It was a magnificent cart. The wheels were red and very big and heavy, the body bot tle green and the seats higher than the top of the average closed carriage. There was a magnificent team of bays to the cart, jjroomed till their coats shone like satin. They were about seventeen hands high, per fectly matched, and they pounded the earth with their giant hoofs like so many anima ted pile drivers. The big steel chains that ran from their collars to the pole of the cart clanged and rattled as they rushed along the drive, the very personification of power and force. On the seat high above their heads and holding the big white rib bons in her tiny bands sat a girl of perhaps 19 years with slim arms, delicate teatures and fragile waist. She held her hands well up, with the whip hanging crosswise and her feet were braced firmly. By her side sat a serene and placid young woman of about the same age, who lolled back grace fully under a crimson parasol, and who seemed to regard her driver with the most serene confidence. On the rear seat was a big English groom with his hands clasped on his knees and his eyes half stall ing from his head. There were 10,000 car riages whirling along the park, and the girl on the box seat missed about 9,000 of them by nothing less than a miracle. She was able to guide the horses by a mighty tug on one rein or the other, but all the rest had to be left to their training. It. was evident that t hey scarcely knew she was at the other end of the reins. The struggle to get something out of the ordinary was instanced a moment later by the appearanoe of a gentleman who is va riously known as “No Man’s Friend” and the “Baron of Baccarat.” He had a small two-wlieeled cart and a neatly groomed bob tail black marc. The mare was the color of ink. She hadn’t a white spot on her. Every part of the cart was pure white. It may have been ash, polished and whitened, , but whatever the wood was, it was almost the color of driven snow. Even the spokes of the. wheels,werorof virgin white, but (he grain of the wood could be seen easily in lein. The leather cushions and trappings were white,, and there was a prettily em broidered white robe over the snaky knee of the Baron. Ho was dresed entirely in block and his sombre faro was in sharp contrast to the gay little vehicle. The black mare wore a huge white canvas collar, white reins and white traces. They looked doubly brilliant against her black coat. This turnout was the sensation of the park during the day. To-morrow nobody will notice it, and the Baron will bo reduced to some other scheme to attract attention. A back county Sheriff would have l>oen astonished at the possibilities of the prime val buggy if he had seen one that passed me near the entrance to the park. It was the buggy, pure and simple, but it was of such exquisite workmanship that it showed the great advance that the carriage makers had made in recent years. The wheels were almost like a spider’s web, and the body was as light and fragile as a jewel case. It was swung on sidebar springs, iff course, and the team of light sorrels ran for ahead and very wide apart. They were not trotting horses but high bred, light weight English car riage horses, trained to move at a sharp can ter and in perfect unison. They were not checked, but they held their heads like the familiar pictures of the Arab steeds, and their fire and dash were worth going a long distance to see. The back of the. buggy was down, and in it, holding the reins carelessly, was a mail with a clear-cut profile, blue eyes, anil little square patches of closely clipped whiskers in front of each ear. He is worth about $200,000,000, but he drives a buggy lust as his father and grandfather did before him. It was Cornelius Vanderbilt. Blakely Hall. The number of persons who make a liv ing out of New York barrooms has grown to a legion. American barrooms are the most artistic and inviting in the world, and the enterprise of their proprietors has made business and handsome incomes for purvey ors in many lines. At stated intervals a man from New Jersey visits all the principal saloons of the city, bearing a bundle of roots. He is tho seller of sweet flag. He hires fifty acres of low land in Jersev, which is dense with a growth of sweet nag. He harvests a crop once a month during the juntmer season and sells his product at au BVUiage price of nearly lc. a root. Experi enced drinkers value nothing more highly than sweet flag as a breath disinfectant. The sweet flag vendor is followed by a thrifty woman who sells mint at sc. a bunch. All first-class saloons use at least one bunch of mint a day. Then conics the handler of •pices: he has an elaborate case of com modities, including cinnamon, allspice, 'loves, coffee, snake-root und cassia buds. The latter are the most popular, but at the same time tho most expensive of breath perfumes, aud a patron who buys a 10c. irinkand takes a liberal pinch of cassia buds ■haves off the profits with tho latter luxury to the extend that few saloon owners will furnish it. The most popular concomitant of drinks Is the comparatively new feature of sweet corn, which sells at 25c. per quart. The corn is liberally sprinkled with salt, and the man who takes a drink and then chews * handful of salt parched com is immediate ly seized with ft desire to take another Irink. Two dealers in parched corn make ui income of more than $5 a day in New York, and there is a multitude of minor merchants in the same commodity who make lessor sums. The mint used in saloons is raised-in (Croat gardens iu tho suburbs of New York, tmd the production of tho crop furnishes employment to hundreds of persons. It is tela by the gardeners to women who retail It to the drinking places. During the leason when mint jiilojis and May wine (a drink sold at first-class German saloon*) are !n fashion the consumption of mint at New York is very great. A large numlx-r of women make a com fortable living sidling bouquets of flowers for the, adornment of tho bars of saloons. A peat army of lemon and orange vendors risit certain smaller saloons each day anil make comfortable income* from their iratfic. The more extensive places, which Ist* a box of lemons u day, and oranges, pineapples and strawlierries in large quanti fies, buy them at wholesale. One man has for years mode a handsome jiving by selling soft shell crabs in the sa oons and billiard rooms of New York. When crabs are no longer in season he deals fried oysters. 1 he principal free lunch saloon of tho cit y n which a high salaried chief is employed toteumes n hundred bushels of beans a inont It ma Russian caviare sausuges and roast Uw>f nat,cost the proprietor of the place s2tri Hr week. Not long ago every proprietor of a first . telixin decorated the walla aud Viaudtljers of his place with curiously out pendent paper. Fashion, which governs saloons as rigidly as it controls the ludies, orei-took this innovation and drove it out of date. Saloons in the rural regions are now graced with paper decoration, but no fash ionable resort in New York is addicted to the practice. It lias, to the sorrow of the paper hangers, succumbed to the style set by a dry goods store window decorator of this city. A saloon "keeper who had wearied of the gaudy festoons of paper asked the tasteful window decorator to devise some thing new for the protection of the costly chandeliers and glass of the place from the flies. The decorator took some cheap tarla tan of gay colors and trimmed the saloon with it. Instantly the place became famous and the window trimmer was deluged with orders to the extent that he left the store and made S2O per day trimming saloons. Professional window trimmers all over the city and from Europe, where window decorating is a trade by itself, found out the secret ana the next year a dozen men were at the business. Now more than a hundred psofessional decorators make a living in New York trimming saloons. They begin soliciting orders long before flies are around, and their season of work lasts from April to August. They pay from to 25c. a yard lor the tarlatan they use, and get from $lO to SIOO for decorating a saloon. They keep stocks of blue and yellow for German saloons, liberal supplies of green for Irish resorts, and subdued, mild tints for high toned American places. When the summer trimming season is over they begin to solicit work for the winter holiday time when they decorate saloons and private residences with holly and evergreens. Their business is increased by the growing fashion of having tlie stateroom of a passenger going out on an ocean steamer trimmed with floral festoons at the instance of friends. The picture frame makers, too, come in for a share of the profits of the saloon business. When anew saloon or restaurant is opened the proprietor preserves as a souvenir of gooa luck the first bill paid over the bar. It is framed in the most exjiensive manner that the owner can devise and hung iu a ' anspicuous place. The frame of an initial $5 bill hanging in one Broadway saloon is studded with rubies and other precious stones. A saloonist on upper Broadway w r ho has literary tastes has furnished a novel attrac tion to the patrons of his wine rooms on the upper floors in the form of complete libraries of leading works of fiction or travel. The books are bound iu rich Turkey morocco, aad each room contains a marble medallion portrait of the late Peter Cnoper. Amos J.‘ Cummings. AN AMERICAN WOMAN’S JEWELS. Opals and Diamonds Which the Rich Wear on Rare Occasions. New York, June 18. —Among the many beautiful and costly jewels belouging to American women there are few which have any special history at tached to them, and very few are heirlooms. The few families who have heirlooms of any value in this country are generally people too poor in other ways to be able to make a display of them. But there are yet a few which have histories worth belling, and among them is a set of opals belonging to Mrs. Leland Stan ford which she bought of Be lie 7.74, a Genoese jeweler, who was in Philadelphia at theCen tenuial Exliibition. These jewels were not publicly displayed, as Bellezza had a sup erstition about them and would never put them in any case with other jewels 011 ac count of their former history. They consisted of a pin and a pair of ear rings of opals set round with brilliants. The opal in the pin is over an inch long, and about two-thirds of an inch across being ob long in forifi. Those in the earrings were of the same shape, about two-thirds the size of that in the brooch. They all had exactly the same milky blue lustre, and down in the heart of each burned a fiery red spot with such a baleful malevolent light that it actually frightened the beholder. These stones at an ordinary distance gave the usual lustre of these jewels, and it was only when looked at closely that they had that peculiarity. They were arranged so that they could be worn as three pendants on a chain or band of velvet as well as in their ordinary form. The brilliants around them were about the size of small peas 011 the brooch and large pinheads on the ear rings. They were shown Mrs. Stanford more as curiosities tlian anything else, but she was instantly struck with their beauty and peculiarity and bought them, paying's4,ooo for them, and laughing at the thought of any superstition regarding opals, although she heard the story of these. The last owner before Mrs. Stanford of these opals was tho ex-Kmpress Eugenie. They had been sent to her as a present by a noble Spanish family whom she had greatly aided in time of their misfortunes. They had been obliged to pawn these jewels with many others which the Empress’ generosity had enabled them to save, and she received them, but never liked to wear them, and it is said she never did wear them but once. During the time that these jewels were in the family of this Spanish nobleman every misfortune that could follow one seemed to have pursued them, until they were almost reduced to beggary and several of their family had died. The story is that the Spanish nobleman bought them of a widowed friend, whose bereavement had been the result of a train of miseries almost unheard of. In her youth this lady had been a lady of honor to the Empress of Austria, nnd when she left that court to lie married these jewels were given to her by the Empress, who had just bought them of tho last member of a noble 1 old Hungarian family, who was reduced to this extremity. Tlio jewels had been a bridal gift from her husband and she had kept them until hunger and destitution forced her to sell them It was through Baron Janus von Xanthus that the Empress of Austria heard of the sad case and finally bought the jewels. Where they came from before this I do not know. Whou the ex-Empress had to fly from Paris these jewels, with a few others, were hurriedly gathered by her faithful friends and attendants, and I saw and admired them at Chiselhurst, where, owing to some certain circumstances, I passed two days and a night, but I never expected to see them again. Bellezza, the jeweler, is an Italian and en joys a reputation very enviable among jewelers of honesty, aud ho had often had dealings with the Empress while in the zenith of her power, and after her sorrow she turned to him as a medium to dispose of much of her jewelry in a quiet manner which could not easily have been done either in London or Paris. Ko Mile, de Larminat and the Countess Glory made several visits to Bellezza, taking him the jewels for sale, and he managed it with caution and usually good results. But no one would buy this set of jewels, and so they were brought hero in holies of selling them to someone who had no superstition on the subject, and Mrs. (Stanford bought them. Bujmrßtitious per sons might say that the evil influence or the baleful jewels had fallen upon her also, as she has lost her only child ,since then. If she has them still she shouldyemember that their wicked sorcery never ceases until the owner is reduced to poverty. At the same time of the purchase of this set of jewels Mrs. Stanford bought of the same jeweler n magnificent necklace of dia manils and rubies, for which she [wid nearly $49,000, and a pin and earrings made of pink pearls, set with brilliants, representing moss rosebuds. She gaveubout S2,(XX) for this set, which was intended for a present to some relative. T 1 ie necklace hail just one riviere of large, pure white stones, and then the rubies, which were hung 011 tiny chains, anil below this another row of diamonds, not quite so large us the upper row, with the exception of too three middle ones. The largest dia monds were about half an inch in diameter, and the rubies were almost as large, and all were of the most perfei t purity. Mrs. Stanford has many other jewels, but none finer. In the necklace arc 135 stones, of which forty-four ore rubies. Olive Harper. Cull and look at tlio elegant Pongee Coat3 and Yeats at Addc! & Hohaul’s. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 1887—TWELVE PAGES. NEW YORKERS WITH BIG SALARIES Some of Them Get as Much as tho President of the United States. New York, June 18.—The editor of one of the great dailies took a novice into his office one day. “You may go 011 the reiiortorial staff,” he said to him. “It has been my experience that money, women and choice foods make capital newspaper stories. W henever you can get a story in which money playsan im portant part you have an article that will be read with interest.” So what follows is all about money and the well-known New Yorkers whose nimble fingers eoase the elusive dollar, or rather thousands of them, each year. There are a score of men in New York who are paid as much for their services each year us the President of the United States. Forty thousand dollars a year is a very tidy salary. There are hundreds of men who get $25,000 a year salary, and the number who get from SIO,OOO to $20,000 are legion. \ ery ordinary men get from $5,000 to SB,OOO a year, or as much as a Cabinet officer. Dr. Norvin Green, President of the Western Union Telegraph Company, is paid $50,000. So is Chauucey M. Depew, President of the New York Central railroad. Richard M. McCurdy, President of the Mutual Life In sursnee Company, gets a like amount. John Hoey, President of Adams Express Company, fares equally as well. President Henry B. Hyde, of the Equitable Insurance Company, is also in the list. George G. Williams, President of the Chemical Na tional Bank, the richest banking institution in America, with nearly $5,000,000 of sur plus, $20,000, 000 average deposits, is paid a salary of $25 000 yearly. President Potts, of the Park Bank, anil President Tappan, of the Gallatin National Bank, receive a like sum each twelve months. The best paid minister in New York is Dr. John Hall, a brainy man from tho North of Ireland, who preaches to $200,- 000,000 every (Sunday. His is the smallest church in town. He owes his rise in life to Robert Bonner, of tho Lodger, who found him preaching to a small congregation in Dublin and induced him to come to America. He gets a salary of $20,000 a year, and makes $5,000 by his newspaper and maga zine articles. He is given a luxuriously furnished house as well. Dr. Morgan Dix, the chief pastor of Trinity Church Corpora tion, the wealthiest in America, receives $15,000 yearly. Dr. Wil liam M. Lavlor, of the Broadway Tabernacle, gets the same amount. He does literary work and lecturing that brings his income up to $20,000. Dr. Charles Hull, of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, is paid $15,000. He is very elo quent, ami his church is crowded at all services. Dr.' Parkhurst, of Madison Square Church, gets $12,000. He has a large and distinguished congegation. Cyrus W. Field is one of the pillars of the church. Dr. Pax ton, who preaches to Jay Gould and others less wealthy, is paid $15,000. The Rev. Robert Collyer, the blacksmith preacher, is paid SIO,OOO. Of the editors Mr. Stone, of the Journal of Commerce, is paid $‘20,000. He is Presi dent of the Associated Press, is immensely wealthy, lives in Brooklyn, and has a mania for choice flowers and plants; his collection is worth over $250,000. Charles A. Dana, editor of the Sun, is paid $15,000 salary, but he is also a largo stockholder in the paper, and his income from this source is quite SIOO,OOO. Before the paper began to decline the sum was nearly $200,000. Whitelaw Reid, chief owner of the Tribune, pays himself $12,000 yearly. He has been very fortunate in*speculating, and is said to be worth over $ 1,000,000. His wife, a daughter of D. O. Mills, has a fortune 01 half that sum in her own name. Dr. George 11. Hep worth, who was at one time a great pulpit orator, now chief of the Herald staff, is paid $12,000 yearly by James Gordon Ben nett; Julius Chambers, the managing editor of the paper, receives SIO,OOO. Charles R. Miller, the real editor of the New York Times, gets SIO,OOO a year. He has sev eral assistants in editorial writing who get from $4,000 to $7,000. John C. Reid, the managing editor of the paper, gets SB,OOO, and Harold Frederic, the London corre spondent, $5,000. Col. John A. Cockerill, managing editor of the World, gets $15,000 yearly. He also gets a small share of the profits of the paper, making in all $20,000 yearly. George W. Turner, the publisher of the same paper, makes $20, 000 yearly. George William Curtis is paid SIO,OOO yearly for editing Harper's Weekly. He does not .do much work, ami for days ut a time ho does not go near the office. Ho lives iu de lightful ease, in a great, big, roomy house on Staten Island. Novelist Howells is paid SIO,OOO for his work on Harper’s Magazine, and Charles Dudley Warner just half the sum for his humorous work on the same monthly. Richard Watson Gilder gets $12,000 for editing the Century Magazine. Of the physicians, Dr. Fordyee Barker probably makes the largest income. Ilis reputation as a consulting physician stands very high. He is said to make $50,000 to $60,000 each year. Dr. A. L. Loomis, a specialist on throat and lun&troubles, makes about $50,000. * Dr. J. T. Metcalf makes about the same amount. Dr. L. A. Sayre, the great surgeon who mended John L. Sul livan’s broken arm, makes $40,000. Dr. A. Jacobi, who devotes himself entirely to the diseases of children, makes $30,000. Dr. C. R. Agnew. who makes the eye a specialty, deal's $25,000 yearly. Dr. George T. Nlirady, who attended Gen. Grant so faithfully, has an income of $25,000. Dr. Herman Knapp, an eye specialist, receives about $25,000. The legal profession is very remunerative. Col. Bob lugersoll and Roscoe Conkling are both said to be making over SIOO,OOO a year. Joseph H. Choate makes considerably over that. 80 does Senator Kvarts. There are hundreds of lawyers who make from $25,- 000 to $60,000 yearly. And the number who make from SIO,OOO to $20,000 would fill a column. Jockey McLaughlin, who rides for the Dwyers, is paid SIO,(XX). He has the privi lege of outside mounts, which means SB,OOO more. He gets in addition from $5,000 to SIO,OOO in gifts from owners of horses he has ridden successfully. Jockey Isaac Mur phy gets SIO,OOO and 'outside mounts. His income is fully $25,000 a year. Five thousand dollars is not regarded as a very big salary. Quite a number of editors and at least a dozen reporters on the Now York dailies make thut ornout, not to speak of the clergymen, bank officials and men in commercial houses who get as much. But talking about money! John P. Ritter, the assistant manager of the Clearing House here, has probably seen and handled more than any man in the world. He has bron more than twenty-two years in tho institution. All tho money re ceived and paid out in balances passes through liis hands. The daily balances run from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000, and in one instance as high $15,000,000. Mr. Ritter has handled these vast sums day after day for years without making an error of a penny. A rough estimate of the total amount that has passed through his hands at the clearing house would be between jg 50,000,000,000 and $81,000,000,000. This amount has not been bandied in the form of notes, bonds or other negotiable securities, but in actual cash. The largest legal tender issued by the gov ernment is for SIO,OOO. These bills are plentiful in the clearing house, where they greatly facilitate business, making it quite easy to handle the enormous sums nrotissary from bunk to lumk each day. Foster Coate.

At the very lowest estimate $500,000 must have been Let on the track and over $1,000,- 000 depended upon the winter books. The book-makers had extra help, and they could not take tho money in fast enough. Rich mond was a tremendous favorite. His trainer said before the race thut he did not see how he could lose. Quito, how ever, had such a powerful following that lie crowded him close in the market. Grimaldi, who has a great reputa tion as a good performer in the mud, was the pick of the track. Talent Rupert was well supported, and Haggins is said to have had ss<),o<X) on Ben Ali. as a race substitute, turned out a fiasco, first, of ail. Quito was second. Favorite and Ben Ali were left at the post and a tremendous hub bub was created thereby. There were all sorts of charges and accusations. Haggins and Congressman Scott were so indignant that they said they would not start any more horses at Sheepshead’s bay if Caldwell, as starter, was not removed. Then there were wild charges that Caldwell had 1 iron bribed by the bookmakers, who stood to lose heavily, over both horses, to leave them. The Executive Committee said they would hold a meeting nnd rule him off for life. Caldwell was dreadfully put out, and he protested that it was not done inten tionally, and that leaving horses was an accident. One of Georgia’s Finest. Irwin County, Ga., June 16. —There is no pleasanter place in Georgia than the in terior of Irwin county to spend a few days in fldiing. Here, among such old families as the Paulks, Fletchers, Branches and Hen dersons one can have a good time if he can have it anywhere. The lake here affords splendid fishing. On the way to it to-day, and half way down the hillside, surrounded by thick undergrowth, vines, bushes, etc., large cypress trees overhead, we discover the faint outlines of four lonely graves. Mr. Dyke Branch then informed me that they were among tho very earliest settlers of the then “State of Irwin”—father.mother. sister, brother asleep in this lonely spot. Here is the largest pine tree in this section of country and known by every one as the “Daddy Pine.” Its actual measurement is 21>i feet around and 7 feet through. Scattered promiscuously over this coun try are plants, fauna vines, mosses, etc., an endless variety. I am sorry to note that in some portions of this country that the education of the youth and children is sadly neglected. The probabilities are that in a few mouths more the South Georgia and Florida Railway will have their line extended through this county. Lands arc daily increasing in value and the spirit of improvement seems to be abroad among the citizens. The old antiquated rieketty log houses are now being slowly supplanted with neat, substantial frame cottages. There is also improvement in fences and outbuild ings. The harvesting of oats is nearly finished. The crop is good and the husbandmen are now cheered by great fields of waving corn and the assurance of a bountiful harvest. This Is the time when the farmer Works in the sun’s hot rays And talks to the wife of his bosom Of the by-gone happy days. While the love-sick son of his neighbor, Who is seemingly on a boom. Talks to the farmer’s daughter Of the splendid days to come. GRAPE CULTURE. This Is the natural home of the grape. Concord, Catawba, English, scuppernong, all thrive and do well, apparently without care or attention. The vines are now loaded.
