HOT WEATHER JOTTINGS.
\ Woman Who Puzzles Everybody
Who Knows Her.
New York, July 16. —There is a woman
vho ranks among the half dozen richest of
or sex in New York, good looking, liked
• >ciety men and women alike, measnra
f young—not very far on either side of
•5 boundary line of 80, that is—who puzzles
, summer everybody who knows her. She
iver goes out of town. She has a cottage
t. Newport, but lias not opened it in live
/ears; sue has a house at Lienox, but visits
t only in the early spring, when the first
lowers are peeping from under the snow
rifts, or in the late autumn when the leaves
re turning. She is a widow, but it has
icver been supposed that the vestiges of a
rief which does not keep her from dancing
n winter would shut her up within brick
walls in July.
“What keeps you herein this weather?”
I asked her, as the sun beat against
the closed blinds two or three mornings
ago,
“I stnv simply because I like it,” she re
plied. "Now York is summer resort enough
for me. Everybody passes through the city
from east, west, north or south on their way
somewhere in course of the summer, and I
meet more friends than I could in any other
way. I have a fancy for 1 icing comfortable,
too", and summer is no time to try to lie com
fortable in the country. When it is hot then
of all times one wants the conveniences of
one's own home.”
“But don't you nine for a sight of some
thing green ?” I asked once more.
“For the matter of that I have greenery
enough hero. Come to my garden, won’t
you?” >
At mention of a garden my eyes opened
wide, for the house like many another in
the city covers every inch of ground lie
longing to it that the building laws allow.
But my hostess led the way not out but up.
Her garden was on the roof and an elevator
jogged lazily skyward with us. A roof
garden is a New York whimsy, and this
roof garden was the most elaborate that I
liad ever seen. A light rail enclosed the
elevated promenade, and this was complete
ly hidden from view by the rank growth of
scarlet 1 leans, nasturtiums, morning glories
and other climbers that ran over it. Pots
of palms, tree ferns and every known plant
that will stand the fervors of a New York
roof summer were disposed here and there,
and boxes of mignonette and vivid scarlet
geraniums flourished jiartly protected by
their shade. There were sweet peas in blos
som; a tiny fountain played with animation
and a hammock was swung in a corner un
der au awning.
“You see, I am monarch of all I survey,"
and my hostess waved her hand over a
torrid city. “It’s not a midday resort ex
actly, but in tho morning or at twilight not
the Cat-skills themselvesliavea liettorbreeze.
And then you know”—and the matter as
sumed an aspeet not many city women
think of—“I can send two or three dozen
fresh air children out for a fortnight's holi
day for less money than I have often spent
in two or three days’ outing myself.”
The roof garden has its strong points
indeed.
miss Willard’s work.
Tho most prominent organization In the
country that relies entirely upon the work
of women, ami probably tho largest society
over oomposed exclusively of women and
officered by them is the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union at whose head stands
Miss Frances E. Willard. One grows ac
customed to thinking of Miss Willard as n
Western woman, but as a matter of fact
she was born in Churchville, near Rochester,
in New York, and spent the first three or
four years of her life in this State. From
Churchville the fomil™ removed to Oberlin
and then to Wisconsin, but since reaching
tho ago of 18 Miss Willard has had her
residence at Evanstown, 111., though during
the last ten years her travels in the se.rvice
of the union have been so constant and
extensive that her home in that town
bus been hardly more than a constructive
one
Personally Miss Willard impresses one as
somewhat shy and retiring, founder of tho
quiet of tho home and the library than of
the stirring duties of a public woman. Her
face is a strong one and a bravo one, with
serene, straightforward eyes, a high fore
head, hair combed smoothly down after tho
simple fashion of a day that kuow not
bangs, and a womanly, tender mouth.
Bhe has winning ways and possesses
the magnetism that moves an audience of
one or of uiuny hundreds to a remarkable
ilegn (.-.
Her introduction to the public ns a speaker
was accidental. By vocation she was a
teacher, but at a woman's missionary meet
ing in Chicago, after her return from Pales
tine, she spoke of the development of anew
chivalry that modern women longed to see
—the chivalry of justice with gives to
woman a chance to be all that God meant
lior to be. Reports of her address, brought
her invitations to speak from every hand,
and she stepped at once to the front rank
among women who have the gift of thinking
on their feet. Her voice is a rare thing
among lecturers of her sex, musical and
distinct in Its articulation, reaching tho
furthest listener. It is a gift that in it
self accounts for no small portion of her
success.
In 1874 the W. C. T. U. was born at
Chautauqua, growing out of the Ohio
crusade of 1873-4. The vigor and adminis
trative faculty of Miss Willard have been
felt all over the conntry, until now the
organization Is represented in every Btat*
amt Territory, having local headquarters In
something more than 11,000 Cities and
towns. It has been organized In Great
Britain, Canada and Australia, and a pre
liminary womioissnnce has been made for
a world sW.C. T. U. Each department Is
ably officered, and tho workings of the
whole demonstrate the executive ability of
women. Miss M illard, as President, is at
the head of the organization department,
and has in special charge the work in
behalf of social purity. She is in all ways
devoted and earnest and ono of the women
sliove price who aro giving their life for
their kind.
A NEW FREAK.
The newest tennis freak is for a number of
girls who are in the habit of playing in the
Wuno party, or who expect to spend any part
of the summer at the same hotel or moun
tain house, to have their gowns made in the
same style and in harmonious though dif
ferent colors. Of a half dozen aspirants to
the honors of the racket one gets herself up
in seafoam given for instance, and tho sec
ond in pale pink. Numbers three and four
make then reives charming in blue and old
rose; mid five and six are a;tired in lavender
and golden brown. Sateen and the cotton
fabrics aro the foundation of these outdoor
dresses on suite, and the effect is piquant
and picturesque as it is meant to lie, though
the modem touches of the outfit with the
competition in cut and fit decidedly weaken
the advantages of the game. For tennis
hats everything is in order this summer from
a Tam O'Shanter to a sailor hat, or a rough
straw flat heaped with wild flowers and
turned up behind.
The latest addition to the tricycling outfit
is what appears to lie a simple kilted skirt,
but which is really a copy of the English
divided skirt laid in kilts overlapping ono
another. The garment has never been used
in America until this summer, but it is the
easiest of any costume yet tried for wheel
ing purposes. Some women wear draped
skirts over it, but that is not necessary. Asa
rule wheelwomen take to' very scant, skirts
cut after the manner of the narrow cloth
gowns of twenty years ago. These do not
blow up vexatiousfy, but are not adapted to
active exercises either. The divided skirt
is better. The only imperative rule to follow
in dressing for the wheel is to avoid adorn
ing the gown. A woman’s dress for any
athletic exercise is mined the minute she
begins to consult a modiste about it. A New
York tricycling club of business women kept
at their desks through the hot weather have
adopted as their uniform for recreative
rides in tho park, mornings and at
twilight, navy blue serge with cardinal rib
bons.
Soft faced cloths and flannels are chosen
for the summer mountain gowns. They are
invariably made as simply as possible with
out drapery or with long shawl folds. The
ahienstock is smothered in ribbons, and has
a txiuquet of wild flowers hung from it in a
ribbon sling.
Yachting gowns are made of white canvas
cloth, the box-pleated skirt having fans of
navy blue canvas cloth let in between the
pleats. The bodice has a habit back and
loose fronts, showing a loose vest of navy
blue canvas. With such an outfit is worn
the all-prevailing sailor hat, white or dark
blue, with high loops and ends of blue and
white ribbon.
Half the people who travel—and the sensi
ble half —wear gray to show no dust, and a
reasonable proportion of that half make the
gray a lightsilk. instead of woolen,for com
fort and coolness sake.
THE PALISADES IN SUMMER.
The Hudson banks are riotois with mid
summer foliage, and the sheer black rocks
of the Palisades are almost buried in the
wealth of a thousand and one different
shades of luxuriant greenery. The Hudson
is the most beautiful of rivers, anil one is
inclined to like Mi’s. George Gould, if for no
other reason, on the score of her evident ap
preciation of that glorious stream. Canoeists
and boatmen of every sort are coming to
recognize her figure, with its white linen
gown, banded with blue, and the blue rib
bons on her sailor hat, as her husband’s
pretty yacht drifts up and down morning
and evening these hot July days. Timid
canal boat skippers always feel easier, so
they tell me, as they are towed down by
Yonkers if they see Jay Gould’s Atalanta
safely anchored, no steam up and nobody
on board. The big steam yacht makes
such a swell on the river that they dread its
washing their decks, and would as soon it
kept at home. But nobody is sorry to see
the Hermione pass, and Mrs. Gould has a
flutter of a white handkerchief and a salute
for half the grizzled fresh water veterans on
the blue road from Albany down. A little
below Piermont, on the Jersey shore, where
the Palisade cliffs rise sheer, in a little bay
protected on every hand, is a favorite an
chorage of hers for the night, and opposite
New York, within a couple of miles of the
heart of the city, within sound of its noises
and sight of its lamps as it is,
the pretty sailor, who has
grown prettier since her marriage, would
hardly find a wilder, more secluded and
more beautiful harbor if she cruised the
whole Atlantic coast in search of it. Mrs.
Gould lives a good part of the summer on
board the yacht, and knows tho water ways
about New York very well.
What, a pity Mrs. Cora Urquhtirt Potter
could not make up her mind to manage a
company instead of acting with one. She
is essentially a business woman, and knows
so well how to advertise. Think of her
securing Kyrle (must we, oh must we call
him Curley ?) Bellow for her American com
pany next fall. She is sure of matinee
auiiiences, and she knows it, though Bellow,
in spite of his popularity with soft-headed
school girls, will never rival that other
young Englishman, Montague, who used to
be a demigod to New York women, en
shrined within their hearts and framed in
pictured graco on their toilet tables. Some
how Wallack’s luck seemed to change the
very week that Montague died.
Julian Hawthorne’s literary partnership
with Detective Byrnes is a fresh illustration
of the different w'ay in which material will
appeal to different people. Anna Katherine
Green, whose “Leavenworth Case” is one of
the best known detective tales of the day,
related to me no long time ago, that on the
only occasion when she ever made an at
tempt to get stuff for stories from the do
ings of real people, Detective Byrnes, in the
course of an afternoon’s rifle, related to her
tale after tale of criminal doings that hail
come under his notico without striking a
vein that in any way npiiealed to her or
suggested a chapter that sue cared to write.
By and by, as they drove past an apparently
deserted house she notified a bar of wood
fastened across the door. “What is that
for?” she asked. “Nobody knows,” the dc
tectivo answered, “it has been there a great
many years," and the words were the germ
of a story that grew of its own accord, in
two hours’ time, where a single idea liorn of
the “facts” which realism loves, and which
had been placed so lavishly at her dlsjxisal
refused to sprout.
PERSONAL POINTS.
Mmo. Fursch-Madi summers at Tanners
ville, in tho Catßltills. Tannersvilie is Mrs.
Thurber’s summer retreat, if the complicated
troubles of the National Opera ever let her
leave town. Wonder if they will enjoy
each other’s company.
Rose Coghlan was rifling a mowing ma
chine as I passed ono of tho outlying fields
of the Yonkers farm, where she raises very
respectable crops and enjoys her summers
immensely, the other flay. Rose likes to
run a mowing machine, and she manages it
as cleverly as she acts. Mrs. Edgerley, as
one ought to call her between seasons, per
haps, is sunburning herself systematically
and looks the bettor for it; hut the prettiest
thing about the place—begging Rose’s par
don for the preference —is tho chubby 2-
y ear-old girl baby that she adopted a year
or more ago and will probably bring up as
her own.
Mrs. Beecher seems unable Rince her hus
band’s death to remain in Brooklyn or
nway from it. Her white and pathetically
composed face is seen among tho Plymouth
parishioners every few weeks, though
nominally she is spending the summer at
Stamford.
In tho South, as Northern travelers aro
beginning to-ropirt in accents of surprise,
colored women are employed now and
then as liaggage agents on trains. Well,
itpays better than plain sewing and is

You oan’t go anywhere in Europe this

IHE MORNING NEWS : MONDAY, JULY IS, ISB7.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
How Dr. Newton Was Nearly Con
verted by George.
New York, July 16. —The story has never
yet been told of the narrow escape of the
Rev. Dr. Heber Newton from being caught
in the meshes amid which Father McGlynn
is now floundering. All New Yorkers are
aware that the Rev. Dr. Newton, lieside
being an eloquent and scholarly clergyman
of the Episcopal church, has for a dozen
yeai-s past been ranked among the social
reformers of the city, and has written a
book which shows his affiliations to be with
a very radical school. As far back, perhaps,
as 1880 he ran a small paper which advo
cated co-operation,ami last year he delivered
a course of lectures for workingmen upon
the labor question. Long before McGlynn
had identified himself with the George
tin Mirv of land taxation New ton had been
strongly tempted to take it up
as the eure-nll for the social ills over
which he mourned. In this state of mind
George got hold of him, and he was soon
plying the Episcopal rector as he afterward
plied the Catholic priest. Newton is an
emotional man as well as a theologian, quite
ignorant of the wiles of tho world and the
labyrinths of political economy, and he be
came deeply exercised over the novel theory
which promised so much more than all his
philanthropy. He was fascinated with the
notion that the crooked old world could all
be straightened out and the rough places all
made smooth by a mere change in the “in
cidence of taxation,” accompanied by a
brass band. The thing wrought upon his
mind. He was besieged by the promoters
of the theory, and visited' their meetings.
At last, three years ago, he broached the
subject in one of his Sunday morning ser
mons in the pulpit of his fashionable church,
and Mr. George happened to lie there ami
welcomed the new convert with effusion.
Soon afterward he was a guest at
a dinner given by a coterie, at which
he was drawn out in a speech,
and the guileless clergyman spoke with
fervor of the new nope of human
ity. About this time certain alleged heresies
brought him under the discipline of the
Episcopal Bishop, just as Father McGlynn
was recently brought uuder the discipline of
the Roman Catholic Archbishop. He stood,
as Father McGlynn recently stood, on the
“ragged edge.” About this I may here
quote from a statement made to me yester
day by one of Ins intimate friends, who
said: “The struggle in Dr. Newton’s mind
continued up to tue spring of last year. The
George theorists felt sure that they had cap
tured the eminent rector, and that he would
lx? an acquisition of incalculable importance
to their side. There were rumblings in
his church as well as in his bosom.
Mr. George urged him to resign his pulpit,
throw up his rectorship, and join him as
an apostle of the new gospel of taxation.
The affair l’oached its crisis one night, when,
under memorable circumstances, Mr. New
ton took counsel with some trusted friends,
in an interview which lasted till the lonely
horn’s of tho next morning. His mind was
in a turmoil as to his duty. He is a brave
man,” continued my informant, “and hail
he seen the George theory to be of divine
origin, as claimed by Father McGlynn at a
later period, he would have proudly and
quickly thrown away the world for it. But,
as he wrestled with himself in the quiet of
Garden City, he began to see the wisdom of
the course which he subsequently pursued
as rector of the Anthon Memorial church.
He shook off the nightmare.”
These revelations of my informant agree
with what I had heard from other sources.
When the Labor party’s campaign of last
year in this city had opened, the Rev. Dr.
Newton sixike at the first meeting in Cliiek
ering Hall, which, by the way, was the
meeting at which Father McGlynn made
his first and last speech for George during
the campaign. That was the first speech of
Father McGlynn which brought upon him
the first censure and the first punishment
from Archbishop Corrigan. Tne Rev. Dr.
Newton suffered neither censure nor
punishment for his speech, but he
never afterward appeared in public
as an advocate of George’s
candidacy, wholly retired from participa
tion in the canvass and ignored all appeals
to come out as a champion of the cause.
Thus the learned, eloquent, radical. and sym
pathetic Episcopal divine took a different
course from that taken by the Rev. Father
McGlynn. Early in tin? present year he
sailed from New York to take up liis resi
dence till next autumn in Europe, where he
is now enjoying the calm needed for his
mind’s relief.
It is useless at this time, to indulge in any
speculation as to what would have liefallen
the Rev. Dr. Newton if he hail taken the
course that has been taken by Rev. Dr.
McGlynn. Q. Bowery.
A HART COUNY PEDAGOGUE
Becomes Prime Minister of the Haw
aiians.
From the Hartwell(Gn.) Sun.
The Hawaiian monarchy, of which Kapi
olani, who is visiting the United States, was
Queen, has been practically overthrown by
a popular uprising of the people. The
Prime Minister of the kingdom, who is an
American named Gibson, was born and
reared in Anderson county, 8. C. We saw
him while on a visit to the city of Ander
son probably fifteen or twenty years ago.
He was accompanied by his daughter, who
was said to lie a princess. Gibson was the
Bismarck of tho Sandwich Islands.
This man —Waltur Gibson as he was
known hero—got his start by teaching an
old-field school in Hart county. Ho lived
in a one room cabin at the old “Burnt Store
Fork*” of the road on A. J. McMullan’s
place. Wldle there he added to the com
fort of his family by building a kitchen
with a dirt floor. Afterward he sold goods,
carrying only a very small stock. He was
a man of education and refinement, with a
gift of gab. He interested his neighbors
with stories of his travels and adventures;
but they could not swallow all of his yarns.
Little did his Hart county auditors think
that their garrulous Munchausen would
ever become Prime Minister, High Execu
tioner, ct cetera, of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
After the death of his first wife (we pre
sume he has another), and which is said to
have Ixien from cold contracted on the flirt
flfxir of the kitchen, Gilison left this county,
and was not heard of until he turned up ns
Prime Minister at Honolulu. It is said tliat
he managed the affairs of the government
to tho very liest advantage for Walter Gib
son, and as ho grew groat he grew rich. A
corresponding growth in poverty upon the
part of Kalakaua’s subjects is said to have
been the prime cause of the revolt.
Now, Walter, old boy, if them fellows
don’t want you any longer just bundle up
that money they say you have, depart those
coast and set stakes in old Hart again. Wo
need tho money awl can endure all your
titles for the sake of it.
Why tho Dealer Trusted Him.
From the Albany Journal.
While an Albanian was visiting a furni
ture store in New York recently a young
man came in and inquired for a low-priced
flining-rooin table. The merchant stiowe I
him fine valued at S2O. The young man said
it was fine, but too expensive, and asked to
see a cheaper one. He was shown one for
$lB and one for sl6. He finally selected t,hesl6
one and ordered it sent home. The customer
inquired if the merchant would wait for his
pay until the close of the month when
jiay day came. The merchant re
plied at once that he would, and
that, he would trust the young man for
anything else that lie desired. When The
customer left the Albanian inquired if it
was not risky to trust strange customers,
and if it would not have been better to have
uxkod for reference or some security. “No,”
said tho merchant, “I can trust, that young
man, though I never saw him tiefore. If ho
hod wanted to cheat me he would have taken
the highest price table. 1 understand cus
tomers before I have talked with them five
minutes. I will wager S4OO to $lO that this
young man is not a fraud. I can trust
him.”

THE LAST SHOT.
A Reminiscence of the Closing Scenes
of the War.
Fiom the Greensboro (Go.) Herald.
Wo had the pleasure of meeting Tuesday
the man who claims to have ordered the last
shut fired on the Confederate side during
the late unpleasantness. He is Mr. A. B.
Faircloth, of Camilla, Mitchell county, Ga.,
a gentleman as modest as he is brave. The
incident was told us by Gapt. D. H. Sanders,
an old comrade in arms of Mr. Faircloth,
ami forms a unique feature in the unwritten
history of the great struggle. Trifling in
itself the incident is only interesting and
valuable by reason of its being, so far as
the actors in it know, the very last hostile
act of any armed force of the expiring Con
federacy.
Mr. Faircloth belonged to Cos. 0., 2nd
Georgia cavalry, first a part of Wharton’s
brigade, afterwards with Wheeler’s com
mand. This regiment was for some time as
sociated with Terry’s famous Texas Rangers,
whose exploits are among the most highly
prized traditions of the war. The intimacy
that grew up between those two commands
was very close and tender, and remained un
broken to the end. A “Ranger” would succor
a second Georgia cavalryman in distress as
quick as ho would his own brother. They
fought together, liivouacod together, and
together went on mauy a wild adventuous
raid.
But to the incident. Lee had surrendered.
Johnson had surrendered. Only Kirby
Smith remained at the head of armed re
sistance. The Confederacy was in its death
throes. Wheeler determined not to sur
render his men, but to force his way across
the country to join Smith west of the Mis
sissippi. To this end he procured the re
moval of his command from Johnston’s
army, and started upon one of tho most
hazardous retreats in tho annals of war.
While everywhere Confederate troops were
grounding their arms, taking the oatn of al
legiance to the United States government
and returning to their homes, this little
band under their gallant loader refused to
lower the “stare and bars.”
Wheeler’s bold movement was kept a pro
found secret, known only to his own men
and Gen. Johnston. All thought that the
war was over. Tho Federals came freely
into the lines of their late foes, and there
was a general intermingling of the “Blue
and Gray.” It fell to the lot of Company C
to guard Wheeler’s rear. A barrel of
brandy was discovered just inside the re
serve picket line, and these old veterans,
with true soldierly instinct, soon tapped it
and were fast getting into a hilarious condi
tion. The Lieutenant in command of the
picket guards was in a short time unable to
distinguish a Confederate from a “Yank,”
and was relieved by Mr. Faircloth, the Or
derly Sergeant. The aroma of that brandy
was wafted to the olfactories of the Union
soldiers, and soon a troop of cavalry was
seen coming at a headlong charge upon
that barrel. Sergt. Faircloth obeyed the
orders of liis chief, and the flashing squadron
was received with a volley from their picket
line. They were dumbfounded, and without
returning the fire, showed a white flag.
The Sergeant advanced to parley with the
bearer of the flag of truce, “what the
deuce did you fire for? Don’t you know
the war is over ?” This was jerked out by
the spokesman on the other side. “I obeyed
orders,” calmly replied the Sergeant. “No
troops cau pass my line.” “But, man,
Johnston has surrendered, and the war is
over. Come, let us pass, we want to taste
that brandy over there.” “I must carry
out my orders,” stoutly maintained Ser
geant Faircloth, and if your men advance
they will be fired upon. But,” he added,
“I am expecting orders calling in my men
every minute, and if you will waif, per
haps you may yet get a drop of tho
brandy.”
Strange to say the troop waited, and soon
the order came. Then there was a grand
rnsh for the barrel —when “Johnny Rob”
and “Yank” got on a drunk together.
This was the last shot fired in the late
war, and the incident, now published for the
first time, will lie read with interest by those
who participated in the novel scene, os well
as the general public.
To complete the story it only remains to
tell that , acting under tbe advice of John
ston, Wheeler gave over his flaring attempt,
and, turning over his men to tho brigade,
regimental anil ’company commanders to
act as they saw fit, gathered about him a
few bold spirits, and started to join the
head of the Confederacy in his effort to es
cape his pursuers.
A prominent doctor of London says; 1 ‘The
theory of the cold bath is wrong. It at
tacks the vitality of the body at the outset.
It draws in the Wood from the surface and
concentrates it unnaturally upon the inte
rior and produces for the time being a tre
mendous tension. The whole effect of the
shook is positive injury. The people whose
systems are strong enough to react from the
shock may think they are benefited, but
they have been simply strong enough to re
cover. No healthy person, much less a
sickly one, should ever put cold water on
his body.”

MILLINERY.

KROUSKOFF’S
Mammoth Millinery House.
We are now offering immense lines of New Straw Hats,
Ribbons, Feathers, etc., which arc 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 tint a fact, that we sell
fine Millinery cheaper than any retail store in New York. How
can we do it? fannot tell. This 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 lie increased, and we arc 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 Goods.
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
