JULY DAYS. A Woman Whose Courage Amounts to Genius. New Yor.K, July 19.—Mrs. Thurber’shair has grown gray since the troubles of the Na tional Ot>era began. If ever a woman bad courage that amounted to positive genius in the Cano of obstacles, that woman is she. i'l om tlw lluancial point of view no one in America her in real for musical education. Before the scheme for an Ameri can opera company wan projected, she had .xpenibvl *lOO,OOO, l suppose, in behalf of • 'mg girLs, who had, she believed, careers une tUem. At ono time she had fourteen ,ung JSicrican women in Paris receiving ■luslcsl education, for whose tuition, board, , .thing, and every expense she held her if responsible. As the present time, there Ji o, so I have been told, throe women in N( w Yorh whom she is helping in the same wav with the promise of some years abroad when the advantages offered this side of the Ulantic have .been exhausted. Music is with her a passion, and she believes, as a devotee clings to his creed, that if it could 1, :aught to every man, woman ami child the nation over, tho millennium would forth ■ v ith (lawn. Pirst and last she has put into tho opera company ail tho money her own that she o ,uid spare. Her husband has contributed #.-,0,000 be-side. Every dollar of the expense ot the School of Opera, concerning whose l„ck of prominence so much complaint has made has been met by her and the (.nt”< i fnf it during each week of its session In- mounted up to ?S,OOO. Frusch-Madi, •vlii in she put in charge of it, was brought to this country by her, was her especial protege and entertained in her own house. Three months or so ago the National o|K'ra Company was almost definitely given up. No money to pay its accrued hills and no pledges for next season were forthcoming. Men whose hands go into their pockets readily enough for almost every worthy scheme proposed to them were appealed to, but not a cent-was forth coming. Mrs. Frank Leslie was interested, and tried to interest the woman who set her on her feet when the publishing firm was involved after her husband’s death. It was of no use, Charles A. liana wrote a letter refusing money or any help from the Sun. Mrs. Laura Holloway exerted herself among wealthy Brooklynites to no purpose. Pedes trian Weston wore out a pair of boots pac ing up and down Wall street and received in contributions just $lO. Friends told Mrs. Thurber that so long as Manager Locke was in charge nobody would trust mo; e valuables to a sinking ship. She replied that the contract w ith him was not up t 11 the close of tho opera season, anil that she was utterly powerless to move against him if she wished. She felt inclined ! i give up a hopeless task and go to France to live down her disappointment. At an opportune moment Washington Connor signed his check for $50,000 as the nucleus fora guarantee fund for next season. For a brief period things looked brighter. The Huntingtons and others wdio with her were jointly responsible for expenses as stockholders of the company left town, be lieving that the performances were on a paying basis at last and that the opera would return to New York in good shape. Many of them went abroad. Mi’s. Thurber was left to bear the brunt of the deficit and has seen within a fortnight impatient un paid employes invade her parlors and scrut inize her bric-a-brac, intimating, in no gen tle tones, that objects of virtu hail better go and their bills be settled. Still, she says she will go on next season. If she does she has learned some valuable business lessons in tho bitter school of experience, and will succeed beyond a doubt in the end. She is one of the women born to succeed, whose faith in the cause they advocate carries them safely over every obstacle, who do not, liecause they cannot, given life and strength, fail. EXPENSIVE MANTELS. Happening into an aesthetic grate and mantel Store near Fifth avenue the other day I chanced upon a man from New Jersey making a purchase. With the assistance of the affable clerk he selected a fine mantel for the paJ*k>r, with a beveled French glass mirror ui 'the over-mantel, with tile edges and hearth, and with andirons, fender and lire 1 lackßt of polished brass. It cost about $-25. Another about equally expensive was chosen for the dining room and the “alcove room” was fitted for a sweet thing in stained cherry at a slightly lower figure. “My daughter’s room”—the daughter was there, a slight, faded blonde with a rather pretty face—must rest content with a compara tively modest work of the cabinet makers' art at about S9O. The daughter gave some parting instructions about the brass tongs, the father flourished a carpienter’s folding measure at the mantels for a minute, and the affable clerk bowed them to the door, having accomplished a S7OO sole in half an hour. Not that such a thing is at all un usual. It was on tho contrary’, quite a mod est outlay. But when, about a quarter of an hour later, I passed along Crosby sti’eet, bo tween Broome and Grand streets, I saw a sight which caused me to think how infinite lv different the lot of oven moderately wealthy people from Jersey is from that of the wretchedly poor of the tenement ilis triot. It was only a block from Broadway's big stores and its hum of constant traffic, jut it seemed to be a sort of Italia minora. Tho whole blix’k of stuffy tenements had ap inrentlv disgorged its swarm of Italian tenants upon the street. Within a space of s Imndmt feet along the east sidewalk were as many as forty children under fifteen mouths or a year and a half old—babies — and perhaps half or a third as many grown women in their charge. The day was in tensely hot, not a breath of air stirred in the street, and the whole group was as listless and inert as if the heat had sapped away all their energy. Not one of the whole num “ - was clean, some were indescribably dirty. There was no childish play, no maternal caress. But ou tho other hand, there was no complaint, nothing but stoic endurance. One mother, who looked old enough to be a great grandmother at least, clutched a baby to her shrivelled breast. All wore that look which tells of sleepless nights, and some were dozing fitfully upon the hot stones of the sidewalk or upon the steps of the tenements, their heads lolling none side. Flies fairly swarmed in the neighborhood. That night they climbed k into their stilling kennels, where they must have gasped for breath. The next day —who knows?—one or two or three, killed by heat, bad food and lack of sleep, may have beea lying silent in death. Somehow that modest purchase of mantels which I ''ad witnessed, or any purchase at all of non essentials, seemed to me frightfully wicked m the face suc jj squalor, misery and suf fering.

Since Inst September tho members of the working gil ls’ guilds—and there are from twenty to twenty fivo such associations in New York mul Brooklyn following the example set them by Miss Grace H. Hodge’s Thirty eighty Street Club, and Miss Clara Potter’s Girls’ Endeavor Clue have been hoarding spare silver bits and dollars for the vacation fund, that should give them this month or next a fortnight each in the country. Tho Working Girls’ Vacation Society spends tho money intrusted to it by factory girls, to bacco strippers, box makers, feather work ers, seamstresses, milliners, saleswomen and tho whole army of self-dependent women as carefully as may be. securing good quarters at reasonable rates for the prisonei’s of brick walls and pavements. The working girls in their bright summer gowns are as jaunty and picturesque as the daughters of Croesus himsoif, as they play tennis or swing in the summer girl’s own hammock for the two weeks of fresh air that make the rest of the year easier to endure. The working girl earns her vacation and she knows how to en joy it when she gets it. PERSONAL GOSSIP. At Asbury Park the wrinkle of the month is the ocean wrap which is donned by the fair diver on emerging from the breakers. A line white serge—the only material that will stand salt water—is cut after the fash ion of a long raglan with ribbons to tie at throat and chiu, opera hood and loose tea gown front ol gay surah or wash silk. This dainty affair is held in readiness by attend ant or friend, and the instant my lady steps out of the water it is wrapped about her. She then takes her course back to cottage or hotel iri leisurely’ comfort, instead of run ning the gauntlet of eyes in dripping mer maid guise. The ocean wrap is making bath ing more popular. Mrs. Henn, wife of the gallant lieutenant of the Galatea, wears a fanciful yachting gown this summer w’hich has a pink Eton jacket, short and square cornered, opening over a white serge waistcoat affair, made long, sharp pointed, with small side pockets and ornamented down tho front with silver braid. Small silver buttons fasten the waist, and the white cap is trimmed with bows of ribbon the same shade as the coat. Ella Wheeler Wilcox looks thinner than before her illness, and her eyes stand out large and prominent. She is as vivacious as eijpr, and wears what the enthusiastic in such matters call “dreams” of white gowns at Shelter Island, where she has been staging. Mrs. Jenness Miller wants women to wear boots to match their gowns. The Princess of Wales may’ promenade in delicate helio trope silk shoes whenever she wears a delicate heliotrope silk gown, but the latest of the dress reformer miscalculate# the depth of the average democratic pocket, if she expects to convert the generality of women to her views in this regard. And so Brown University will consider — yes, seriously consider—the advisability of admitting women next fall. E. P. H. A SUCCESSFUL BET. A Lady Who Won a Horse Race With out Knowing It. From a Few York Letter in Boston Herald. The messengers who place bets for ladies at the race tracks ought to make good in comes, for boy’s; but it Is altogether possible that they do not, for they are invariably persistent gamblers. The fees they get from lucky women are oftentimes extrava gantly’ generous; and even if tho fair gam blers are not lucky the boys are likely to come in for something. The regular attend ants, women I mean, have their favorites among the boys, and condescend to smile upon them in a way that they would not use 1 toward any other cj^tss of servants. This, perhaps, is natural enough at the grand stand, where much depends upon the faith fulness, promptness and honesty of the mes senger, but it extends much further, and many’ a full grown boy, whose blushing cheek is dark with a coming beard, is over whelmed with attentions on the way borne. For with the end of the races, and the cash ing of the winning tickets, the boys’ duties are done, and they’ go off on the same train with the spectators. I rode to the city in the same car with two women who had gambled luckily on the day’s events. No sooner had they’ reached the train than they looked about with an air of apparent anxiety for that “little messenger, anu when a five-foot-ten voting fellow with a white cap appeared they seized upon him and made him sit beside them. Presently another messenger who served them came into view, and he also was made to sit with them, one on each side. The women leaned their heads over to the boys, whispered in their ears, cajoled them, and even bestowed caresses on them. Other boy’s in the ear looked on and grinned. They had had the same experience, and looked upon it as < >ne of the amenities of the business. W hat do they say to the boys? Oh, they talk horse, review the events of the day’, wisely conclude that they would have done better to bet differently upon the race in which they backed the loser, and ask the boy’s’ opinion upon horses and jockeys. Further than that they tell the boys what dear fellows they are, and how much they’ will do for theni if a few more days of good luck shall follow soon. All of which the bo vs take in with apparently eager interest, sui-e that, if the vague or indefinite prom ises are not fulfilled, large tips may be ex pected on the morrow, during the first race at least. Everybody knows how horse talk invades the dining room and parlor at home. The men bring it in from the club, and take it with them to the office. But sometimes a port-ion of it stavs and is eagarly rolled over the tongues of the girls of the familv. A voung bride was calling with a friend, and at more than one house found other friends who had been to the races. Entrancing were the stories they told of backing the winners. Now our bride, Louisa, had never been to tho races in her life, and that very night she asked her hus band if he would not take her. “Now who has been putting that into vour head?” asked John, brusquely. ' “Why, I don’t know, John, dear,’ sairl Louisa, “but everybody seems to go, and I want to. 1 want to back the winners.” The next scene is at Sheepshca l Ray. Three races have been run, and Louisa is in tensely interested, not only in events, but in the scenes around her. She has kept her eves open, and has noticed that ladies near her send nwmey away in tho hands of boys in uniform, and that tho boys return with tickets, which the ladies put in their bags. She has pleaded with her husband to let her bet just once on a race, but he has fordidden it so sternly that she dare not speak of it a-rain But John has left his seat after . aeh race and not returned until the next one is alxnit to lie run. In hr innocent little liead h a s [>t the i'lea that John is betting on the rai l*, and she longs to know what his fortune )m#l*en. By the time the third we has been run, she has grown into a fever of excitement o'er a project which she feared to execute. She would take ad vantage of his a! splice and l-t for hersolt so-retry John looked very dark at the conclusion of the third race and ground Ins teeth as lie answered to his wife's innocent miestion that he had rather hoped xileh a iioi-se would win, for ho knew the jockey, “lie totalling a white lie,” thought bright Louisa, "and I will get even with him.” But it seemed as if John would never get up and disappear ns he had before. In fact John was wondering whether he would take a final plunge with what he had left. He decided that lie would go out to the betting pavilion 4* all event#, and Ree how the odds were running. And It was unnecessary to sav that he plunged. As soon as ho had irone Louisa was thrown into a rage of ex citement and doubt Tho color mounted hot on her checks, and her heart, thumped lik- a typewriter, as with n supreme Impulse she tieckonod to fclio boy. It was the lust '“Here she exclaimed, producing some bills from her purse, “Take this and bet it for " -Who oof" asked the lx>y stolidly, receiv ing tho money and (MWug it. There woi-o 980, THE MORSfING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY 25, 1887. “Oh, dear!” whispered Louisa, “I don’t know anything about horses. You know, don’t you?” “Woll,*iiaid the boy, scratching liis head, “they? nro giving two to one on Ichhßan anti six to oil/- on Pocoinoke, but I think it's a race for m short horse myself. ” “But i an a-khort horse run as fast a long oner askeS Louis* in surprise. "Well,’’ ftridfihe boy, “that depends, but lam baokitigyOVid, arid y ? ou can get fifteen to one on him.” "WeU, well, hurry along and do what you think btst, only put it somewhere, and don’t let anybody know.” The boy disappeared, and presently John came back. She looked at him furtively to seo if he suspected anything, but John's face was like tiiat of a Sphinx. The boy ret urned, too, and slipped a piece of paper into Louisa’s hand without attracting attention. She hastily thrust it into her purse, feeling woefully guilty. The race was run, and it would be hard to say which was the more excited. When it was over, John said, awkwardly, “Louisa, you brought some money on tho track with you. didn’t you?” “Yes, dear,” she replied faintly, loeliug that now the storm was coming. “I guess you better let me have it,” he said, “to tell the truth, I have got rid of mine. A friend told me that a race was coming a certain way, he wanted uio to back it—and—l did so, anil it’s gone wrong, you know; such things will sometimes,” and his courage returned ;;s he got the confes sion out of his mouth. Louisa trembled. “I haven’t got the money John,” she faltered; “I—I —spent it.” “The devil you did!” exclaimed John, un gallantly; “humph! I’d like to know how we are going to get home, to say nothing of having anything to eat,” and he relapsed into sxlenee. Louisa felt all the sorrow and anguish of a penitent. It took more nerve than it had to bet her money to put her hand in her bag, produce her ticket and pass it to John, saying faintly: “Perhaps this is worth something. They might give you back the money if you told them about it." John did hot hear the last part of her sen tence. He was staring hard at the bit of pasteboard, and all he could say was: “How in thunder did you come to play that horse ?” Then, before Louisa could say a word, he turned before her, held the card lief ore her faertignd exclaimed: "Have you the slightest idea how much this is worth?’ “No,” she answered, repressing a sob, "I didn’t mean to, and I won’t do it again, I won’t, truly, and I don’t want to coule to the races again. ” “Well,” be assented, “I don’t think you'd better, for this play was about the most absurd that effuld bo made, but it just hap pens that this particular ticket is worth $540.” They had a pretty good dinner. GEN. PAINE’S FAST SLOOP. Trial Trip of the New Steel Sloop Volunteer. A Boston dispatch to the New York Times says: The three happiest men in New England to-night are Gen. Paine, Edward Burgess, and Capt. Haff, the owner, designer and skipper of the new strel sloop volunteer. After delays and disappointments that at first it seemed im possible to overcome, the latest Burgess sloop made her trial trip to-day, and proved herself a competitor that any yacht aft >at may well fear to meet. The only thing lacking was the presence during the trip of some of the more speedy yachts of known capability. But even this was found at last, when the cutter Bedouin and the iron yacht Pris cilla were encountered and their speed com pared with that of the new yacht. This test certainly sleeved tin- great superiority of the Volunteer. Both Gen. Paine and Mr. Bur gess expected to have everything in readi ness for a start by noon to-day. The Volun teer was hauled out of Lawlev’s basin at high water last night. Her mammoth cen treboard was towed alongside in readiness tube placed in position, anil at an early hour this morniqg the crew* went to work on it. Carpenters anil shipwrights covered the deck, putting the finishing touches here and there, while a garfg of men worked away on the gaff, the ironwork 6f which has been ono source of bother for the past two or three days. The Volunteer's centreboard is hung on a plan which, differs materially from that usually employed, and a slight deflection of the main bolt or the presence of lead or some other extraneous substance for many hours frustrated all efforts to put it in place. In fact, that was not accomplished until after the yacht started on her trial trip. The slinging of the gaff also was a tedious job, and wheu the Time's tug steamed alongside, shoi-yvJiefore 1“ 'o’clock, the yacht's deck presented" a scene of confusion that indi cated anything but n successful jssue of the day’s work. Capt. Haff was hojxLul, how ever, and sail that a start might lie made in an hour or two. It was iqgda at 3:30, wiiau tho Volunteers anchor wits hove short. a\s %l' no rmi to the tug Leader. The, wind w,J$ very light from the east in the* harbor, j&Jfl!y sufficient to fill the sails of tho coastx’gK hot were drifting lazilyrtvith currontdotfn the stream. It was 3:36 when the first puli was gi vea to the halyards of the Ipigp maiasail* and as it was swjyzed aloft the Ti/ites" first, saluted themitial moverhept of thertacht. Nearly half an hour was occupied Idr getting the hew piece of canvas swayej Up in position to make the most of tilts "turtle breeze, and it was. 4 o’clock '.jiien .the., foresail and jib,were broken out aji'-l the Volunteer was naiteedipg under Ivrtwijrlowffr sails. The jOjlje was cast off, only for a short rtfme, ns the light and puffy wind rendered it absolutely impossible Ur her to get out of the him Ujr *" ithout assist ance. Again the IxartlSpinok her in tow. ;inil not until Broad SninJwns reached was Wind >-:iough found \ ■Qpt.Uos'oopaiongjß a fair rate <f 4peed. Just ins and (le cjraste rfr ■ h tins ze from southeast by east was cn /sintered and the service of a tug was no longer necessary. As tho Volunt.w cl no I to* ' rives the breeze freshened and she tore along at a rate of speed that gave the puffing t ijgsadvrn enough to do to keep within hailing dis tance. As the Volunteer Ho re away to the northward, with sheets started a point or two, she was closely watched by many anxious for her success. Her towering mast, taller than anji>f the shipping in the harbor, her immewgi bowsprit and gigantic boom gave an impassion of streugtn and power. If one wW inclined to Is- captious fault might be folio l with her somewhat full side.-,, and tli<ft- were not wanting tlvxc who felt inclined to critieYe her graceful bow—a depart, uy from tho straight lines of the carlieX Burgess type. Hut if anything, this feature is an improvement. The one point in her 1 model s -riously open tocrit'cisin is her stern. This is almost shockimt from a yacht,min's point of view. More than anything else it resembles the how almost olwolete typo of the “down East” pinkie, a type of "marine architecture almost absolutely unsinkalde, and e, nondescript modification of the old poop deck of a Spanish galleon. Designer Burgess insists that this stem is not justified liy his model, and no wonder lie hesitates to hold himself responsible for it. From whatever point it is examined it would secal as if this nondescript stern of the Volunteer must prove a serious impedi ment in anything hut smooth water. Heavy seal rolling under her ought to impair her onward movement, as it must apparently lift her stem and plunge lier bow under wntcr. To say that tills result was not ap parent in to-dnv's trial is only fair, and, like ail theories, is I ip bio to fracture in prm-tice. However, this xternjmpairs the symmetry and beauty of the yaeht if it does nothing else. When the Volunteer reached the open water of Massachusetts bay and felt the full force of the southeast wind she made such good racing with the steam tugs in her com pany that all but the Times' boat aiyl one other wen- soon left, behind. ”• - • ’ teer ran about nine miles from the Uiaves in about fifty minutes. She stood ui> well under her press of canvas, carrying all lower sails aud gaff topsails. Thaw set admira bly for new canvas, Tho arch of the main sail was perhaps a trifle taut, but a few days under sail might easily give it a different a - Her jib was very English in cut, and old sailors found more fault with this piece of cloth than all the rest of the canvas put together. The Volunteer kept over to ward Cape Ann, where several yachts could bo seen working in to Marble Head Harbor. She wore ship astern of tho two largest of these and gave chase. This furnished the real test of her capacity. The yachts ahead were soon identified as the iron sloop Pris cilla and the fast cutter Bedouin. All were carrying about the same canvas, but the Vol unteer was towing astern. Nevertheless, it was soon apparent that she was overhauling the Bedouin. It might have Ix-en four miles off Marblehead Nook wfcen tho Volunteer started on the stern chase. When she passed the Neck she had pulled up abreast of the Bedouin and passed tier. As the vachts rounded into tho harbor there was a reman: able gain and showed that the new boat was very fast in a ten-knot breeze. Marble head Point was crowded with spectators as the Volunteer entered the harbor, and cheers and the booming of cannon greeted her arrival. The large yachts at author fired a salute ns the Volunteer dropped her anchor, and she was soon thoboutre at! m large fleet of dorios and tiny sailbOidfc whose occupants were eager to see the yacht that attracts so much attention. The Times' correspondent was soon on board the vk unteer, and to hurried queries answer was made that Gen. Paine was delighted with the working and speed of his sloop, that designer Burgess was satisfied that he hutl designed a faster yacht than any that has come before her, and that Capt. Haff was ready to swear that his charge was “the cow that would eat thistle.” Said Mr. Burgess: “I said I could make a yacht that would beat the Mayflower twelve minutes in a 40-mile race ami I think I h'uve done it.il AN APPALLING APPETITE. Peculiar and Fatal Case of a Texas Sheep-Herder. Ban jntonio (Tex.) Spatial to Globe Democrat. Richard Gerfers, a ranchmah in tlje north western part of the county, eoifjjs to tovyn with the story of a very strange dShtli which recently happened in his neighborhood. Joseph and Friederich lllauek were two young men, living near him, engaged in raising wool. For some time the latter hail been ailing with a disease which baffled tho physicians and rapidly sapped his strength. Its most marked symptoms were extreme emaciation and a marvelous appetite. It was not tape worm, that was certain; but further than this the doctors could not go. “He could eat,” says Mr. Gerfers, “a half bushel of food and still lie hungry.” He finally grew’ so weak that he did but little work, putting in the time sitting about the ranch and cooking for himself. He became a by-word for miles around, and many neighbors came to see the living skeleton get outside of anything within reach that was edible. On the day of his death he vol unteered to take out a small flock of sheep and herd them until sundown. His brother agreed, and in the morning Friederich left the house with some 300 sheep in charge, and swinging on his arm wo.- a gallon tin bucket, luled with the ordinary Mexican frijoles, or beans. His brother visited him about noon and found him all right, sitting in the shade and watching the fli >ck graze. Late in the evening Jacob became uneasy at Friederich’* absence and began a search for him. He found the sheep scattered by twos and threes, and further on, lying di rectly in tho path, w’as Freiderion’s dead body. He had evidently been walking, anil fallen dead as ho stopjied, for his feet rested 1 , in the tracks they had made. His ](*n face w r as in a mass of half digested beany, par tially glued together and thoroughly soaked in a torrent of blood, which had welled from h.s throat. He was not cold w’heti found. A jury of inquest was summoned. They rendered a verdict to the effect that the man (lied from a gorge of half-cooked beans, which had swelled and ruptuTef the stomach. It is supposed that young Blauck hail been too impatient to wait until his mpal was thoroughly cooked, had filled with the semi-raw vegetables and then drank a quantity of water. Ho was sitting near a pool when his brother last saw him alive. PAIN KILLER.
