PCDES WITH PLl’6 HOLIES an ENGLISH CUSTOM AND ITS AMERICAN COUNTERFEIT. Angtornaniace Who Parade New York Streets Accompanied by Bullet headed, Thick-nocked Prize Fighters A Practice Initiated by George Law, Whom Queen Victoria Has the Honor to Resemble. (Copyrighted 1881.1 New York, Oct. 15.—A man who has ;iu§t returned from London sat in the cafe of the Brunswick yesterday surrounded by ,everal somnolent, and rather heavy-looking men who regarded him with more or less in terest. Finally, one of the group started up and said suddenly: "By the way, you have not told us yet about, the jubilee.” "There is only one thing about it that was much interest to me,” said the returned tourist, “and that was the appearance, of Queen Victoria. "Did you see he. f’ “Oh, yes, I had a capital view of her, and it was the first lime 1 ever had the pleas ure, although I have lived considerable over ten years in England off and on. There was a halt in the procession, mid her car riage was brought to a stop directly under the window which I had hired for £2O for the privilege of looking at the procession. The Queen was sitting well bark, and look ing with a snappish and ill-natured air about her. The carriage started forw’ard one or two paces, and then stopped again, and one of the household troopers stepped tip and spoke a few words in her majesty’s ear. Her face flushed and tier lips moved m a fashion that suggested a man who had just stepped on a tack in the middle of the night, and who is giving vent to his feel ings. I could not hear w hat she said, but if she did not use some rather warm language, appearances am very far off, and, if the Queen of England and Empress of India has not as good a right a> any body else to an occasional, big, big I don’t know who has.” “What did she look like,'” “She was the living image of George ... MR. PLYMPTON AND HIS HEELER. There was an amused smile at this, and then the men fell to talking carelessly about George Law and the other New York mil lionaires who worked so hard to establish in New' York the English custom of having plug uglies and bruisers for heelers. Every body is familiar with the howling British swell who is accompanied on his nightly rounds of dissipation and amusement by a thick-jawed pugilist. Mr. Toots and the Thicken are immortal, and, for a time, Mr. George Law bade fair to achieve almost wuarproniinence. He is the beet and most amusing type of the American milUonairo, fer he is utterly destitute of snobbishness and pretension, and is as rotund, happy, un assuming and agreeable as though he could not draw his check for seven figures and have it honored anywhere in the country. His round and rather reddish face and his good-natured and twinkling eyes are fa miliar everywhere in town. Instead of go ing in society or taking an interest in big corporate enterprises, Mr. Law’s inclina tions invariably run toward members of the “fancy. ” He would forsake a duke at any time for a heavy hitter, and for years he was an inseparable companion of Joe Co burn and other fistic lights, until one night, in Mr. Brown’s < !ioph -e-yte, IL'i Joe Cqburn and the aforesaid “iigb .v aims* and pom meled their benefactor. Exactly why they should have slugged Mr. Law has never been made plain, for they practically sub >i*ted on his bounty. His enthusiasm iuthe cause of pugilism was dimmed for a time by this unkind treatment, but later on he was seen in his accustomed haunts, and usually with a man who was famous in the fistic arena. I don’t know exactly why a man should should choose a pugilist for his companion, for, as far as my own experi ence goes, and I know most of them, they are about as uninteresting set of black guards as the world can show. Mr. Sulli van’s conversational powers would not do credit, to a cow, and. when I look back over the list, I find that the only two really in telligent men that I ever met among prize lighters were Mike Donovan and Charley Mitchell. Mitchell is not so intelligent as he is shrewd, but Donovan has more of the qualities of a mau than all the rest of them (•ul together. MR. Richmond AND ms ri.ci,. For a time a gushing mid spasmodic sort of an actor named F.ben Plympton, who a? usually referred to cruelly as Ebenezer limpleton, wandered about town with a Plug. This particular plug was a thick-set, amiable-looking and thoughtful man. who bad an immense downy moustache, and, in deed, a “downy” look generally. His shoulders were brood, bis chest deep and his py e autocratic. Wherever Plympton "cm, the heeler was along. Most of the t uiie was devoted to scowling in sullen and tnnje.st.ir disapproval upon his master, and, though this seemed to depress Mr. Plympton j' i a time, he finally got so that he could “ear it with unexampled fortitude. As ! he actor was rather given to fine, not to S *Y gushing, manners, the contrast between ' he two was rather strong. The radiant and enthusiastic Plympton would talk for hours I" his sullen protector without eliciting a word from him If, at the end of a long monologue, the heavy weight made an ami able remark, it seemed to throw the actor into ecstasies of satisfaction and delight. A distinguished and popular millionaire— -1 • M. Richmond—was also struck with this Peculiar mania last year. He took unto himself an associate in the person of a -quarely built, thick-set and ponderous Eng usu fighter, who had u waggish and felch 'ng way of shaking his head and winking solemnly at his boats. Riohraond would hold forth to him in public places in an ora torical ami forensic way about politics, re ligion and society, increasing his eloquence as the night grew late. The plug never -poke but, at stated intervals, and whenever there whs a risiug inflection ill the voice of | his master he would fall into what ap peared to lie a deadly trance for a minute, 'heu awaken suddenly and wag his head till the veins in his thick neck turned blue. Then be would wink at his foot- - which he usually nursed with both of his brawny hands upon his nether knee —a bewildering number of times and fall to chuckling quietly to himself. All of these manifesta tions were usually supposed to lie involute tary tributes of esteem, admiration and af fection to his master. The assertion that he was paid a large salary on condition that he would listen without comment to Rich mond’s views on life, death, the immortality of the soul and other trifling subjects was generally accepted about town. “MUTTON, YOU KATIOVE JtK EXTREMELY.” A dainty and delicate little chap who had for some years displayed a fondness for leading the german, and a predilection for the society ot debutantes and unexception ably correct members of society, surprised his friends in Fifth avenue generally one day by parading along with a man who looked like an outcast and a murderer of the Bill Sykes variety. The exquisite's name was Tommy Wilton. He had fallen into a lot of money, distinguished himself by lighting cigarettes with $lO hills, and was for a time quite the sensation of the town. He was depended upon, therefore, to produce more or less gossip. And his debut in public with the heeler had the de sired effect. The heeler hail some mirac ulous faculty of keeping his heard about four days long at ail times. Nobody could ever tell when he shaved, and it was a deep mystery how he accomplished the feat of al ways looking four days gone. His admira tion for hi# young master was expressed frequently, and always in the hearing of Mr. Wilton. The plug would stand off, and look at him fondly for an extended period, then close his eye—he had only one—with a species of canine adoration for a time. Then ho would open it. look once more at his owner, and say thickly: “D’ye see that youngster? Well, he don’t look very big nor very strong, but he's a corker fm way back. He’s got a heart in ter him like an ox.” Mr. Wilton did not return these compli ments. He seldom addressed his heeler ex cept when they were both seated at a table in some sporting resort, and both very far gone from the steps of propriety and prohi • bition. At such times Mr. Wilton would look at his pugilist with an expression of pronounced dislike and then say in a de liberate tone: “Mutton, you fatigue me extremely.” The pugilist would look at him with an air of pain and surprise. There would be another pause, and then the master would wonder audibly why he was not dead, struggle to his feet, and wander off home, attended to the last by his devoted and faithful slave. Pony Moore, the London minstrel, was at tended during his American visit last month by his son-in-law, Mitchell, and they made a very stunning pair of celebrities as far as appearance went. Mr. Moore always walked about a foot in front of the pugilist, and treated him with an air of quiet and lordly disdain. This Mitchell accepted as the proper thing as coming from a gentloman of Mr. Moore’s social position to a common pugil ist. Exactly what Moore’s social position was nobody ever quite knew. His gram mar wns what the boys call “rocky” but his diamonds were unexceptionable. He had diamond buttons on his waistcoat, dia monds on his fingers, and most glorious and touching sight of all, a real watch and chain. He snorted and fumed at all times and all hours about his eminence, and when it seemed to him that his word was being doubted he invariably appealed to his heeler for corroboration, and Mitchell gave it with whole-souled and deep-lunged fervency. So that, divested of all its ulterior beauties and embellishments, the practice of conveying a pugilist around in public would seem to be the result of an earnest desire on the part of the men of wealth to have somebody al ways at their elbow who will corroborate their big tales and listen to their favorite stones. It is a significant fact, however, that the two most prominent and successful mana gersof pugilists, Messrs. Sheedy and Mad den, have both been driven to the same con clusion within the past month, and that is that pugilists are not worth their salt out side of the prize ring. Mr. Sheody’s opin ion of John L. Sullivan is breezy, accurate and interesting, and it fully corresponds in all essential points with that expressed by Mr. Madden of his former protege, Jake Kilrain. Both Kheedv and Madden, by the wav, are going into the theatrical business. Sullivan's former manager returns to America to take out. Roach, the dramatist, in one of the latter's opening plays, and Madden will, ill ail probability, manage a burlesque troupe. And, by the way. It is a mist ake to underrate the business sagacity or mental capacity of either one of these gentlemen, it would be difficult to find a shrewder pair of speculators in the country than Pat Sheedy and Bill}' Madden, and when one realizes that these two names are more eminent in every household in Ameri - ca than the names of any two Senators, one realizes again that this hi a very, very large country —and perhaps a somewhat peculiar one. Blakely Hall. SEX IN EDUCATION. An Account of Some of the Most Prominent Female Colleges. [Copyrighted 1887.] New York. Oct. 15.—The entering class at Smith College this fall numbers some thing more than 120 students, the largest in the history of the school. At Vassar. in spite of the recent alxilition of the preparatory department, there is a numerical gain. Wel lesley has as many student* as she can readi ly accommodate, aud the new women’s col lege nt Bryn Mawr grows fast. “If Iliad a girl I would send her to col lege, but I have put my son at work in my office,” suid a prominent business man, himself acollege grail uate, the other day. “Why do you make such a distinction?” he was asked. Because a girl needs the best education she can get in order to earn a living, while a boy is often as well, sometimes better off without. A woman physician can get into practice more easily than a man because there is at yet so' little competition A woman teacher must be fit for a position in the highest grade of school if she isn’t to starve. A woman stenographer must have that general information that a man gets rubbing about the world, but that tlkually comes to a woman only through books, to make her intelligent enough to command good wages. That’s the girl’s side of it; as to the boy, them are too many men in the professions, and as a preparation for busi ness too many years of schooling waste a young man's time. He might lay the foun dation of a fortune while he is fooling with the Greek particle.” It is a sentiment much like this that is filling up the girls’ schools. What the girls are doing in them is the nextquestion. The only direct comparison between the work of Ihe colleges for men and women or which I know, whs furnished me by the present head of a girls' school, w-ho was for a series of vears a member of the faculty of Vassar. Ijqgjc j* not supposed to be the forte of the feminine mind, but tho same text books in this mental science being employed at Hal yard and Vassar. it occurred to the wofes THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. OCTOBER Ifi. 1887. sor to test the year’s work done in the two schools. A request for the examination pa pers used at Harvard, brought him a list of account of methods used. Conforming his own examination as closely as possible to the queries propounded with explanation of system of marks employed and detailed the Harvard conditions and using the same set of questions, he sent a second time for the results of the men’s struggles with major promise and minor and put the fig ures side by side with those which the Vas sar girls Had obtained. There was little difference in the highest percentages of the crack logicians of the two sexes, but the best mark, well up to tho top of the nine ties, was obtained by a woman and not by n man. The classes were approximately equal in ntunbers, twenty-five and twenty seven, but the study ranked as an elective in bot h colleges, and there were only thirty odd girls to elect where the Harvard class reached many times that number. If the difference at the top of the scale was not a marked one, that at the bottom w as. The Vassar girls’ average was in the eighties and lio percentage was less than seventy, where the Harvard figures ran down into the fifties, several men failing to pass at all. No figures of this sort are good for much, but there may be some significance in the averages. Dr. Truman Backus, who occu pied the chair of English literature for some years at Vassar, tells me that visiting professors from men’s colleges always ex pressed to him surprise at the high average scholarship of his classes. Their honor men might be superior to the leading student among the girls, but without exi-eption they acknowledge. I to him that they had no classes from the teacher’s point of view so pleas ant to teach because the rank list dropped off so rapidly; they had seldom anything like the average ability of the Vassar girls in the class rooms. Heredity might produce and theoretically ought to produce from generations of educated men an exception ally tine mind in the brilliant male students which a woman without that background could not equal, but the generality of gir I students would do better than the rank and file of men. Ihe coeducational schools offer the best chance for collection of facts as to the rel ative scholarship of boys aud girls or young men and women under the same conditions, and candor compels the admission that the facts are sometimes contradictory. The principal of a widely known preparatory school, the Adelphi Academy, of Brooklyn, tells me that the only fault he has to And with co-education is that it discourages boys, girls excel them so decidedly. His best students year after year, until the suc cession of valedictorians becomes monoton ous, are girls. This is a city school. In the country district, at least in the East, a con trary tale is often told. St. Lawrence Uni versity in northern New York, is one of our smaller colleges supported largely by a farming population, tt enjoys the distinc tion of being almost the cheapest school in the East in which an education may he had and lias graduated some of the sturdiest men in the State. It has never made any distinction against women students, but their general scholarship has been consider ably Wow the level of the men. It has had bright girls within its walls, hut a half dozen years ago when I had personal knowl edge of it, it was the rarest of novelties that t he brightest student in any class should be a girl. In the district schools and village acade mies in the rural districts of the Middle and Western States the best students are apt to be of the supposed sterner sex. The further one’s investigations are carried into the backwoods the more marked does this disparity become. On the other hand, in the cities and suburban villages where bet ter educational advantage*, are supposed to be offered, the rule is as I have stated it above: the girls are ahead. This may be, because the girls in the country districts have more engrossing domestic cares to tire their minds and bodies, it may be because the boys of the school, and the young men of the academy apply themselves with greater zeal to their tasks than the city boys whose minds are bent on play, and it may be, and probably is, due to these and a va riety of other causes, which it might inter est the curious to investigate. I have known a young man of 21, em ployed by a farmer to “do chores,” who went to school and stood up with the 5-year olds in the ABC class. His generous em ployer put a stop to his schooling after a few weeks, during which he made famous progress. The man was in the habit of get ting up of unheard of hours in the morning to do his work, so that he could go to school, and it wasted oil for tho lantern, the farmer said! I have never heard of the student since, but have a happy conviction that he must have succeeded finally in learning to read. So much resolution could hardly be balked for a lifetime. It is this spirit that sometimes makes famous students of rough country lads; nothing akin to it is found in the city except at the evening schools, ami not often there. The difficulty about light before kerosene grew so absurdlycheap was sometimes surmounted by up country lads by the use of pitch pine knots. I have known one boy who was taken out of the village academy to attend a "sugar, bush,” who more than kept up with his classes by the light, of the fire with v .rich he boiled his maple syrup. The country girl some times has this stamina, but oftener not. But the city girl is healthier than her brother when slffi gives iierself a chance to be so, and she has a better brain. She is probably less frivolous, if such generaliza tions are ever safe, and it is she and not the cigarette smoking sex who oftener shows the pine knot spirit of the country lad. The larger educational colleges give their girls students good names. Prof. VVincbell, the geologist, of Michigan University, who was a sturdy friend of co-education before it had become generally acceptable in that school, writes that the attainments of women are generally above those of men, “though many men equal them.” President Warren, of Boston University,whore no more distinc tion is made between thesexesthan between residents of tho blast and West, tells me that the records of the best students among the men and women are about the same, but that the women usually average better. Columbia College had occasion, a year or two ago, to introduce a more difficult text-book in astronomy than the one which had been in use because the one womau, a special student, who had been allowed to pursue that study, used the harder book. At Syracuse and Cornell the women ask no favors, in the South (hey are reported to bo outstripping the men in general educa tion. Take it ail in all the balance of fact and opinion inclines to the side that, as cer tainly as education is going on, as tho girls’ colleges are growing, and more of the men’s colleges are opening their doors, so certainly the girls are making and are going to make good use of their chances. Eliza Putnam Hsaton. Claret at Two Cents a Bottle. From the st. James' Gazette. Vice Consul War-burton, of Rochelle, suggest* the establishment of „ new in dustry in England—the manufacture, namely, of French claret. The process as carried on in his district is both simple and inexpensive. Raisins nnd currants are stec|>ed in water at 11 temperature of about 70 until fermentation takes place, a little red Spanish wine is then added to give color, and tho mixture is ready for use. It has the further advantage that it is pleasant to the taste and is considered perfectly wholesome. The cost of production is about Id. i*r bottle, and there are several fac tories turning out hundreds of gallons daily. Perhaps, though, when the liquid is sent to England and sold as claret at 15s. a dozen the consumer has a right to Complain tliat the middleman's profit is unnecessarily large.
