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.

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.” Call and see the newest shinies in Pongee Coats and Vests at Appel & Bchaul’s. 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.” PAJNJCILLER. ftoiefoMorbus | ramps go Ii e Ijiarrhoe^ w"pummer complaints IjYSeriteiY </71l Cured by a teaspoon fu[ of PerrsDdvisPam filler in,a tittle fr/i({or Sugar and Wfrten Au- Druggists Sell ir.
