SUMMER GOSSIP.
Some Interesting' Points About the
Ages of Women.
New Youk, July o.—The ago of women is
what they call this last quarter of the nine
teenth century sometimes. Of a certainty
whatever else it may or many not be, no
body could pronounce it the age of the girl.
The girl has had her day. A long day it was
and a sunny one. but she docs not seem at
present likely to get another.
No change wrought in tho last hundred
Years is more marked than the steady ad
vance in the period of life at which the
feminine part of humanity is thought to
reach its prime.’When the novel originated,
its fu st heroine was the 14-year-old. Rich
ardson's Pamelas, Clarissas and their kin
might better bo Id than very many years
above it. Sweet 1(5 and blooming 17 reigned
in the pages of Irving and Cooper, dominat
ing the sentiment of u half to a third of a
century ago; 90, 91 and 22 were the next
favorites springing up with the women’s
colleges, as the better education of girls kept
them in the schoolroom and out of society
longer, while the mature woman of 27 or :£>
quite as frequently nowadays finds herself
hi ought to the fore in tho modem novel
which is a fairly truthful reflex of the
civilization it tries to represent.
History and society chronicles toll tho
same tale as the novel. When tho French
Revolution was hatching the wild sayings
and gay doings of Marie Antoinette fed the
discontent and yet she whom the folk of
Paris judged so harshly and took so seriously
was a girl of 14 when she was taken out of
the nursery and lifted to the throne. Bene
dict Arnold’s wife was under 20 when his
disgrace bowed her to the ground, and pretty
Pollv Payne tefore she became Dolly .Madi
son at 24 had Ibcn a Quaker belle, had kept
house as Mrs. John Tod, had sorrowed as a
widow and bloomed out through several
years of belledom again. Our granddames
not so many generations removed, on whom
we look back with the awe and reverence
that hedge an ancestor, were very youthful
dignitaries indeed when they took the re
sponsibilities of life upon them. As the boy
went to college at 14 so the girl took her
place in society, married at 16, nad a brood
of children while yet under age, and was
relegated to knitting work and caps while
hardly mature, ending all active career un
der 40, at an age when the modem woman
feels that she is just coming to the full com
mand of her powers.
From being passee at 20 to being charm
ing at 30 tells in itself the whole tale of
woman’s growth for the past century. That
peculiar combination of angel and idiot
which was the ideal woman was unthink
able except in the teens. Idiocy cannot be
angelic after the first score of years. The
rosebud is delightful aud everybody loves it,
but there is not a woman left who would
care to bo always 18. Up to 35 a woman is
not now at all abashed at owning her age.
She knows she has but gained in charm; she
knows that the man who fought shy of tak
ing her out to dinner during her first season,
and who was mute and bored during the
whole time that he sat by her side will seek
her out in company now, and will rec
ognize her added experience and maturity
by giving her credit for common
sense in the talk that he begins with her.
She knows that where her crudeness
used to drive off people worth knowing,
she can at her will call them about her
now.
Frau Von Sticn was past 30 when she car
ried off Goethe captive after he luid weath
ered the dangers of the younger Lillis,
Charlottes and the rest. And in New York
or any of the country’s great centres to-day
it is not the younger women whose p< isition
in the only society that is worth the name is
happiest or best established. The woman
who marries is 25 when she used to be 15.
The woman who gathers about her any cir
cle that deserves the name of salon is Mary
L. Booth at 50; Mrs. Martha J. Lamb, with
the gray hairs coming; Mrs. Frank Leslie;
Jenny June, with a third of a century of
active work in the city behind her; or at the
youngest. Miss Grace IP. Dodge, on the
border line of the thirties; women who are
often better looking and always better worth
seeing than when they were younger. It is
a tribute to the common sense of the day
that things should be as they are. The world
will alwavs feel and acknowledge a girl’s
fresh charm. There is nothing else quite
like it. But the mature woman, whose face
has thought and knowledge in it, and who
does as well as is the woman who is crowned
Queen after all.
ROSINA VOKES’ TW§ CHILDREN.
A small boy flat on his face in a puddle
in confidential intercourse with a half dozen
sociable ducks, a bare-footed girl toddling
beside him and emulating her brother in his
overtures to their gossipy pla3'mates, these
were Rosina Vokes’ two children, enjoying
what comparatively few urchins know any
thing about nowadays, a genuine frolic down
by the seashore the other day. They were
ecstatically happy. Every square inch of
clothing upon them was a candidate for
tbe washtub. They knew it. They did
not care. Their mother never received a
more genuine and thoroughgoing com
pliment than was implied in their utter
oblivion of consequences in the matter of
dress.
Healthy children love dirt,; axiom number
one. White gowns and embroideries hate
dirt; axiom number two. The child and its
clothes are—and, as things go, ought to lie
sworn enemies. It is one of tho important
decisions of the summer campaign with
which of the two contending forces the
mother will join alliance. Daintily im
maculate and unhappy; or dirtv, comfort
able und rosyf It is a rare mother who can
rise to the situation. Children, who are
slaves to their clothes are of all tiny wretches
the most to bo pitied. See them standing
about a sunny lawn of a summer morning,
their ears filled with cautions about toiling
or tearing, the fear of this petty disaster or
that, repressing every natural instinct to
ward the most innocent of childish romps.
Hie folly of it is equalled only by the' cruelty
ot it. “Ladylike” children you may call
them, unchlfdlike, robbed of their birth
right they look to me.
There is one essential principle only that
ought, to Ixi remembered in fitting tho little
people out, for country, or seashore, or moun
tain pleasurings. The dress for tho wee girl
must be one that she can be utterly uneon
scious of. It, should not restrict the action
of the limbs in any manoeuvre that, the
urchin sees fit to undertake, and it should
te so simple thut, the child’s mother will not
t * n ', nor make her small daughter care how
luuny pieces go to the laundry. To bo
brown as a berry" is a small thing; to im
prove the digestion, to increase the endur
ance, to harden the muscles, to learn some
thing of nature by free observation and in
vestigation of every conceivable if uncon
ventional sort, these things are worth while,

RAR HARBOR.
"1 here is no marked change in the distribu
tion of favor among the summer resorts this
season, unless it be that Bar Harbor, which
last year got fully its share, is likely this
month and next to get a little more. Bar
Harbor’s star is decidedly in the ascendant.
1 hel. atskills have filled up earlier than usual;
the actors’colony at Long Branch is alive
and jolly; there is an unusual amount of cot
tage building going on in the hill towns
among the Berkshires for the late August
and September festivities; Narragansatt is
gay, but bids fair to keep its refutation as a
place devoid of men, an “Adamless Eden,”
where the white gown and the jaunty sailor
hat are unaccompanied by the wonderful
wardrobe of the vacation young man; the
dancing at the White Sulphur is as tireless
as ever aud the queer little jimcrack, Jap
anese cottages at the Vineyard are running
oyer with a miscellaneous population.
Newport’s season promises to be unusually
brilliant, and when Newport is satis
fied the rest of the world ought not to com
plain.
Of people whom New Yorkers will miss
from their Sundays editions Gen. Sherman
aud wife are at Atlantic City, Miss Dodge,
tho School Commissioner, with Mr. and
Mr#. William E. Dodge-Ms at Riverdale
within easy reach of the pavements, Mrs.
Burton N. Harrison has gone to Bar Harbor.
Gen. Alexander S. Webb and his wife are
at Sharon Springs, Mrs. William Astorjs
at Rhinebeek, Theodore Roosevelt and his
wife are at Hyds Park, Mr. and Mrs. Wil
bur Bloodgood are at Narragansett Pier,
Mr. and Mrs. William Allen Butler are at
Saratoga, Mrs. S. S. Cox is at Manhattan
Beach, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt with
her children has started with her husband
in the Alva’s round-the-world trip, Miss
Catherine Wolfe Bunee is at Newport, Mr.
and Mrs. Julian Hawthorne are on Long
Island, Mr. aii{l Mrs. Ogden Goelet are
cruising on their yacht, and the world of so
ciety is far more scattered than it used to be
before the big hotel passed its prime and the
cottage rose in favor.
Some of the best known New York women
will return to the city in a very few weeks,
however, for it is resolved to give the
American Association for the Advancement
of Science, which holds its session in August,
a warm welcome in one sense, perhaps in
two, and many hospitable houses which
have had bars up and shutters closed from
June to October in years past, will be aired
and dusted for receptions to the scientists.
Mrs. Hewitt, the President of the Ladies’
Committee, will take an active part in the
festivities, and Mrs. Nicholas Fish, Mrs.
Sylvanus Reed, Miss Edgertou, the remain
ing officers, with Mrs. Martha J. Lamb,
Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge and some dozens of
other members have pledged themselves to
brave a week or more of summer in town to
do justice to the occasion.
A BATCH OF READABLE ITEMS.
A London paper remarks that a Presi
dentess who dines in her gloves would if she
were a queen go to bed in her crown. Well-a
dav: there is nobody who has not a soft spot
in liis or her heart for Mrs. Cleveland, but it
is undeniably a dreary thing as the weather
grows warm to cast about you furtively, at
even the most, informal of morning lunches,
to see if a sufficient number of the women
present are braving the White House decree
to warrant you in drawing off your hand
coverings also. Ajid, oh, the misery of dis
covering that they are not.
Grace Howard, the well-known journal
ist’s oldest daughter, writes homo from the
Crow Creek Mission, Dakota, where she has
comfortably established herself, that her
plans for the betterment of the industrial
condition of the Indian women are already
well under wav. She has not gone West as
a teacher, as the papers have reported, but
her scheme, which is an original one, is to
open on a small scale an establishment for
the cutting and manufacture of clothing and
other household articles which the Indians
now beg from the missionaries or huy when,
as does not often happen, the agents have
any for sale. Her work is for her own sex.
“Indian girls,’’ she said to me just before
her departure, “are like white American
girls in one respect at least; they will not go
out to service. They do not make good serv
ants and aside from housework in the fami
lies of the officers on tho frontier post., there
has been absolutely nothing for them to do.
No wonder they sometimes drop back into
barbarism. I want to give them a chance
industrially.” Miss Howard is in her early
twenties, a fine-looking girl very much in
earnest.
Mrs. Thurber points a moral and adorns a
tale. Don’t again I say to you, don’t go into
business without acquiring a business educa
tion. Mrs. Thurber has hers now, but it
cost her dear. So will it you whether you
can sink as much money as she without
drowning with it, or whether you are like
the Polish woman who, in her broken Eng
lish, wrote to me the other day proposing
that I take a patent for a life preserver off
her hands and “make a pa]x>r with her to
give her two-thirds of the profits from its
sale.”
The return of croquet to favor seems as
sured. There is reason enough for it, too.
Women can’t play tennis. That is they have
to choose between bustles and waists tight
as a ball-room bodice and an armory of steels
on the one hand, and a blouse waist, un
draped skirt, freedom of motion and success
at the game on the other. Most women don’t
hesitate; hence the revival of croquet,
which is a complaisant game requiring no
sacrifices.
Tight shoes are making money for the
chiropodists in town. The Newport set—
for once bless ’em —are so so English as to
wear sensible boots. Maybe tho world will
follow them in time.
The babies, who can’t help themselves,
poor souls, are being put into low necked
and short sleeved gowns again.
Barbaric young ladies, that is, young
ladies of barbaric tastes, wear three or four
necklaces at once. E. P. H
LONGING FOR THE GOOD OLD DAYS
A Growler Tells of Some of the Things
Which He Lilies.
New York, July 9.—“ The good old days,
when the middle-priced man had a chance
for his life,” said a red-nosed and morose
Eastsider the other day, as he sat on a coal
box and smoked a cheap cigar, “is appar
ently gone forever. I belong to the aristoc
racy of tho growler,” he continued, taking
me into his confidence along with a lot of
other men who were waiting for a down
town car, “and I have my rights if I am
poor. What New Yorkers don’t realize is
the fact that there’s 1100,000 or 400,000 men
right on the east side of Third avenue hero
who like a reasonable amount of sport
and amusement, but who are neither
dead stuck on “Hazel Rirke” nor “May
Blossom.” It may be some men’s idea of
glee, revelry and joy to go to a stuffy littlo
theatre, screw themselves into cast-iron or
chestra chairs and sit there like graven
images for three hours after paying a? 1 50
for tho privilege of undergoing the torture.
This is the idea of fun that some men imbibe
in their early infancy, but it is not mine.
In the first place 1 1 00 is a big tariif for
a poor man to pay, and in tho second place,
men who deal with the sterner side of life--

tagenet loves Amilio De Vere, or marries a
Dutch porter in the corner grocery store.
I went all the way over to South Hoboken
two weeks ago solely for tho purpose of see
ing a man lift chairs by the rungs. Gawd!
There never was a prettier sight
on the earth. Ho was a small lad, too, hut
he could lift up a liarber’s chair without
laying a hair and he had a wrist on him
like cast iron. Ho could take a pack of
playing cards with linen backs and satin
gloss finish, tie the two ends with stout coni,
and tear them in two as easily ns you or I
would rip off the coupon of a railway
tick j. I spent four houre looking at him,
and I had never had a more entertaining
journey in my life. That you see is what I
like and so do 400,000 of my friends. Imu

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY 11, 1887.
“I dont sec that the times are different
from what they used to bo,” said a young
ish mail, who was tailing a light from the
East sider’s cigar.
“You don't? Why, my son,” ho said re
proachfully, casting one eye along the vio
let-hued ridge of his nose, and blowing up
ward toward it so as to dislodge the fiv that
had settled there. “Why, you’re young,
but you certainly must reinember when
New York was worth living in. Here the
other day I went, up to the Polo Grounds to
see that mounted sword contest, and it was
the silliest thing that God ever allomed in
Now York city. The police did not inter
fere with it, and yet it was a thousand times
worse than any of the pugilistic
exhibitions that the police always
stop. The men were not even
athletes, and they clubbed each other in a
way that would have made a party of
Welsh miners blush. The people who en
tered that show are the very ones who hun
ger for amusement, and yet the authorities
won’t allow them to bo amused. When
walking matches were the rage, any poor
man could go up to tho garden for 50c., for
get his cares and have his interest excited
in a good form of sport. Only a few years
ago you could go into any place along the
Bowery, or Clarendon, or Irving Halls, or
the Madison Square Garden aud see rattling
good sparring or wrestling for 25e. Wres
tling is an exercise that the poor mail
delights in. I have found myself going
crazy over a match between Bibby and
Acton in their younger days, aud there
used to be some contests at the old Turn Hall
in Fourth street that have been the subject
of talk in barrooms and labor meetings ever
since. Tho.se tilings are what the working
men can understand and appreciate. They
don’t care a rap for sassiety dramas. Along
with the disappearance of sparring and
wrestling has gone the old-time concert sa
loon and sportman’s resort. There are no
places now where you can drop in and have
a glass of beer, and at the same time be en
tertained by something going on the stage.
You’ve got to go into a dark gin mill and
get drunk or else you must go to the thea
tre.”
“There's the races,” said the young man
who had got a light.
“Of course,” said the East-sider, satirical
ly, “there’s the races. It’ll cost you $3.50
to get to Monmouth Park and $1.50 to get
on the stand, which is $5, while your daily
expenses are dead sure to be $2 or $3 more.
This leaves out all idea of betting, and
everybody knows what a liorce race is if
you don’t happen to have an interest in
some of the contests. Where is the poor
man who cun afford such expenditure ns
this? Besides, I don’t want to gamble; I
want to be amused. Base ball is a good
game and one that every man who has ever
worked in a factory or been a New York
boy r loves, but you see it is played in the
daylight, and none of us can see it because
we all work till dark. None of the museums
or gardens are open on - Sunday, and here
we nre taken by the throat and forced to
accept the bread-aud water pleasures of the
rich —which are in no wise suited to us—or
give up all idea of entertainment and fun
forever.”
He nodded sagely, lighted a fresh cigar,
slid off the box and swaggered down the
street, a typical old-time New Yorker in a
huff. Blakely Hall.
THE PROCESS OF INTUBATION.
A Little Tube Which Works Wonders
.in Cases of Diphtheria.
New York, July 9.—Only a few days
ago a morning newspaper announced that
diphtheria was widely prevalent in New
York. I inquired of a physician, who makes
a specialty of throat diseases, as to this
statement.
“Yes,” he replied, “it is true. lam over
run with work, but thanks to a member of
our profession in this city, the chances of
overcoming the disease have been greatly
increased.”
I gladly accepted his invitation to accom
pany him on a visit to a young patient who
was seriously ill with diphtheria and watch
the operation which he intended to perform.
We drove rapidly over to West Twelfth
street and stopped in front of a neat three
story brick house. The door was opened
immediately in response to the doctor’s
ring and we passed into the hail
“How is my iittle patient?” asked the
doctor of tho anxious looking mother, who
came from an inner room.
“Oh, doctor, I’m afraid he's going to die,”
she replied, while the tears rolled down her
cheeks. “He gasps terribly and can hardly
breathe. ”
The doctor looked grave and, without an
swering, walked into the room from which
she had just come. I followed him. It was
a sad sight.
On the bed lay a young boy gasping for
breath. Ho was not over 8 years of age.
Had not his features been distorted by liis
terrible struggles to obtain relief from the
stifiin feeling which oppressed him, he
would have been considered a handsome
child. As it was, his eyes were bulgiug
from their sockets, his mouth was drawn
out of shape, and his entire frame was
racked by feverish convulsions. His ster
torous breathing fell upon the deadly silence
of the room with startling effect and made
all tho more painful the hojK-less misery
written in the faces of his parents.
The doctor looked at him for a moment
and then turned to his father:
“Yes, I am just in the nick of time,” ho
said; “an hour later unil the only hope
would lx) a resort to the operation of
tracheotomy. As it is, I can save him with
out doing any cutting. This operation is
called intubation,” continued tho doctor, ad
dressing himself to me. “It is the invention
of a New York physician and is of incal
culable benefit iii diphtheria, malignant
croup and kindred throut diseases. This in
strument,” he added, Liking from the ease a
two-handled instrument remotely resembling
a pair of pincers, “is called the mouth gag.”
lie deftly inserted the steel ends between
the teeth of the jiatient and forced open his
mouth. I held the handles while ho was
busy at his case, and saw that, it was im
possible for the boy to close his mouth, try
as hard as he would. Next the doctor drew
out u little steel tills.-, gilded over. This was
small nt one end aud large at the other, and
swelled considerably toward the centre.
The large end was flattened out so that it
projected beyond the body of the tube all
around. It was two arid a half inches in
length, aud about one-fifth of an inch in di
ameter. The doctor deftly drew a silk
thread through a small hole near the large
end of the tube. Next ho inserted a little
piece of steel into the tube so that it fitted
firmly and screwed the steel on to another
instrument with n long handle. Putting
the tube into the boy’s open mouth, ho
quickly inserted it into his larynx. Satis
fied that it was properly adjusted, he touch
ed a spring in the handle of tho instrument
and out it came, taking with it the piece of
steel which lmil been fitted into the tube.
Only the tube remained with tho thread
hanging out of the boy’s mouth.
The doctor cut tho thread, removed tho
mouth gag and the operation was finished.
Not a drop of blood had been Rhed and tho
patient had sulfered hardly a twinge of pain
from it.
“Won’t the tube slip!” asked tho anxious
father.
“Oh. no,” was the reply. “It cannot do
so. The bulge at tho center and the pro
jection at the upper end prevent it from
moving up or down. He can talk or eat
just as well with it in as though ho had
nothing there.”
Even us the doctor spoke the dark, choke.)
look left tho boy’s face, and his heavy
breathing began to quiet down. His eyes
lost their wild, storing appearance, and a
more natural color came into his cheeks.
Ho was saved.
“In fivo days,” said the doctor, as he re
placed his instrurnentß in hi* case, “unless
there is a change for the worse I will re
move the 1 übe. ’
As we rolled away in our cab tho doctor
explained still further the advantages of this
newly-discovered op-ration.
11m old method in a case such as described
above was to perform tracheotomy, that is,
cut into the trachea or windpipe and insert
in the opening a silver tube, tho upiwr part
of which projected from the windpiiie. Tho
cut was made about on inch below the
apple and the operation was a very bloody
one, great care being necessary to escape
the large blood vessels. It was impossible
for the patient to talk with this tube in liis
throat unless he pressed his finger iqiou the
tub>'. Less than 20 per cent of those thus
operated umn recovered.
In ISSS Boiiehut, a French physician, used
a certain tube, which he demonstrated
would remain in the larynx of its own
weight. It was never used, as it was very
crude, and it remained l'or a New York
physician to invent a tube which, while
founded on the same idea as the French
man's, is far superior in every way.
Dr. Joseph O’Dwyer, the inventor, is a
graduate or the College of Physicians and
Surgeons of this city. Although he could
easily have made a fortune by patenting his
invention he has not done so, but has freely
given it to the world for tho benefit of suf
fering humanity. lie does not derive one
cent of profit from it. Although not one
year - old it is used all over the globe, and
physicians are unanimous in lauding it.
Tracheotomy- was frequently objected toby
parents who preferred to take the chances
of the child’s dying to undergoing such a
bloody operation on remote possibilities of
recovery. No such objection prevails
against intubation, while the average of
recoveries is more than double that in
tracheotomy. The latter is now used only as
the last resort. Charles J. Rosebault.
BOYCOTTING AN EDITOR.
Mr. Morris Evidently Does Not Like
the German.
Milledgeville (Ga.) Correqnndence Atlanta Con
stitution.
Milledgeville is just passing through a
genuine epidemic of excitement. On last
Saturday morning the Chronicle , of this
city, under the editorial management of Mr.
Thomas H. Morris, contained an imaginary
interview with a lone fisherman in regard
to the german. This city has just passed
through two weeks of social events, and the
utter disgust that the article showed toward
the german caused indignation among
society people. Saturday night rewards
were offered for its author, aud Sunday
morning, when Mr. Morris heard of it,
he promptly made known the fact that
he was its author, and those who felt them
selves personally aggrieved could apply to
him for satisfaction. It was tlieri stated
that a committee of men who frequented
the social balls and dances would call on
him and demand a retraction. Sunday and
Monday passed away, but the committee
did not call. Early Tuesday morning a
rumor gained currency that a gentleman
from abroad would resent, what he consid
ered a personal insult. An investigation
proved that Sheriff C. W. Ennis arrived
from Macon Monday night, and that Mr.
Harper Gilmore, of Sandersville. had in
structed him to tell Mr. Morris that he
would arrive Tuesday morning for the pur
pose of getting a retraction at all hazards,
kill or get killed.
The people over tho city who were ac
quainted with the two men, naturally ex
jiected that a tragedy would he the result.
The morning was spent in breathless anx
iety, and at 2 o’clock, when it was announced
that Gilmore had arrived, the excitement
was intense. Mr. Gilmore, accompanied by
his friends, was escorted to the office of
Messrs. T. E. White A Cos. The streets were
filled with people, white on a platform near
the Chronicle office, Mr. Morris was seen
walking from end to end quietly awaiting
the attack. Mutual friends called
upon Mr. Gilmore and advised him to leave
the city and not attack Mr. Morris. Alter
consideration Mr. Gilmore returned to San
dersville on tho 4 o’clock train. It was ru
mored that some gross insults were given
Mr. Monis, but investigation proved that
there bail not been any direct communica
tion between Mr. Morris and any of tho
fsntlemen. No warrants were taken out.
lie affair has created a sen.-ation here, and
it is not known whether it is at an end or
not. Public sentiment is divided on the
matter.

MILLINERY.
NEW mmSERYAT
KROUSKOFFS
Mammoth Millinery House.
We are now offering immense lines of New Straw Hats,
Ribbons, Feathers, etc., which are now being shipped daily
by our New York buyer, and our Mr. Krouskoff, who is now
North to assist in the selection of the Choicest Novelties in
the Millinery Line. It is astonishing but a fact, that we sell
line Millinery cheaper than any retail store in New York. How
can we do it? Cannot tell. Thw is our secret and our suc
cess. Perhaps on account of large clearing out purchases or
perhaps from direct shipments from London or Paris—but no
matter so long as the ladies have all the advantages in stock
and prices.
We are now ready for business, and our previous large
stock will be increased, and we are now offering full lines of
fine Milans in White and Colors, for Ladies, Misses and
Children in an endless variety of shapes.
RIBBONS, RIBBONS, new novelties added and our regu
lar full line entirely filled out.
We knock bottom out in the price of Straw Coods.
We continue the sale of our Ribbons at same prices as
heretofore, although the prices have much advanced.
We also continue to retail on our first floor at wholesale
prices.
