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.

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-- I make boilers meself—-ain’t, as a rule, all tore up the neck as to whether Claude f’lun 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 an educated man to the extent of twelve years in public school, though I’ve for gotten how to bound the .State of Nebraska, and am a little rocky about the capital of Arizona." 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.
