MBS. BEECHER m BROOKLYN.
Eome Interesting Notes About Various
Matters.
New York, Nov. 12. —The windows of
the second floor of the Water View flats
overlooking the East river and the harbor
from Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, are filled
with blossoming chrysanthemums aud ge
raniums. Two or three canaries and a red
winged singing bird hang in the sunshine
over the greenery. It is here that Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher has established her
self, in a cozy suite of apartments since her
return to the city.
She baa never been away from Brooklyn
really, forduriug her summer residence at
Stamford she returned invariably on Satur
day night, remaining until Monday to be
present at the Plymouth meetings when the
church was open. Brooklyn is her home
aud must always be so, she savs, ana though
tor children would prefer that she should
jjve with them, she has gone to houskeep
ing, in order to have a place where the Ply
mouth people—she still presides over the
ladies’ meeting and the sew.ug circle—can
feel entirely at liberty to call upon her at
any time they wish.
Mrs. Beecher’s rooms are full of memen
toes of Mr. Beecher. A picture of him as
a young man hangs between the windows
of the reception parlor with a cross beneath
it, and another of more recent date is over
the mantel. Smaller likenesses are scatter
ed about and stand upon her writing desk.
A casket of walnut with hinges, clasp, iu
scription and the Beecher crest, “He lives
twice who lives well,” in antique silver, con
tains what Mr. Beecher agreed to accept as
on heirloom for his children, the official
tender of that public reception by the
Board of Aldermen after his return from
England last; year which Mr. Beecher de
dined. The invitation is embossed in col
ored letters on heavy parchment and is as
artistically done as the manner of the orig
inal offer was bungled. A large album
with fly leaves of white moire silk contains
the resolutions of condolence of the City
Council on the death of Mr. Beecher and
reached Mrs Beecher by the hands of Mayor
Whitney two or three weeks ago. “In
Memoriam” with a crown studded with stars
begins the volume, and “after darkness
light,” upon a cross twined with passion
flowers ends it, the entire work being done
with pen and ink in very delicate colorings.
The name of Mr. Beecher where it occurs
is wreathed with lilies.
Mrs. Beecher is in good health and has a
beautifully serene face under her lace
cap and smooth, snowy hair. She is in
terested in everything in the city with
which Mr. Beecher was connected, and I
saw her no long time since making the
tour of one of Brooklyn’s big stores, at the
laying of whose cornerstone Mr. Beecher
made an address on the day before its final
opening.
She is inclined to laugh just a little at the
newspaper statement that she is doing a great
deal of literary work.
“I write lor the Domestic Monthly, and
for an English magazine, just as I have al
ways done, and that i- all,” she savs. “They
want me to try some weekly letters for
newspapers, but I have not begun
yet. I used to write to please my husband,
but I have very little idea how much I shall
do now.”
The biography of Mr. Beecher which the
family are preparing will not be out much
before Christmas, Mi's. Beecher says. The
work has been hurried, at the re
quest of the publishers, because of the great
number of unauthorized memoirs of Mr.
Beecher appearing, but personally she
would have liked it to be at least a year in
preparation and to consist of two volumes
instead of ones. It has been a painful work for
her and for her s >ns, she says, and the 700
pages will hardly contain a third of what
might be said.
TO A BROADWAY STORE
well known as a rendezvous for collectors of
theatrical photographs came six young girls
the other afternoon. They were all in the
neighborhood of 16 years old, all slender and
about of a height, all dark-haired with the
standard American brown, all well dressed
and two of them decidedly pretty, with
that piquant sort of chic which, rather
than positive beauty, ranks a girl’s attrac
tions in New York nowadays. They were
all vivacious and two of them carried boxes
with a confectioner’s mark outside. They
all wore tailor gowns, one in dark brown,
two in green, one in black aud two in dark
blue. They all wore snugly fitting tailor
coats braided ala militaire. Their hats were
of different shapes and materials, but each
was adorned with a bunch of black cock's
plumes. They all wore tiny lace veils, and
three of them had small flower earrings,
screwed into their ears. They all had
broad stitching on the back of tiieir gloves.
Thre" of them had embroidered handker
chiefs in their hands, and three had antique
silver scent bottles hanging from a button
of the coat by a short silver chain. They
all wore long, slender Freucta boots with
high heels. They did not look a particle
alike, but they were on familiar chatting
terms with one another, and one familiar
with the city could identify them as all
from the swell, up town, beyond Forty
seventh street region. They all had clear
complexions, three had some red in tueir
cheeks, thev all had bright eyes and short,
controlled bangs, and they were ail having
a good time.
They were all at the photographer’s on
the same errand. They all wanted pictures
of Kyrle Bellew. They looked at that
solemn but poetic countenance in some
thing like fifty poses. .They were not after
cheap photographs. They confined their
attention to the large $2 or $3 panel pictures
that one can worship iu one’s boudoir. They
wantod Bellew in every suit he ever wore,
in every play he ever acted in, in as many
postures as he could conveniently assume.
They begged the photographer to ransack
bis Boxes. They reveled in Beilew lying on
a rug before the fire. Bellew as the sculptor
in his new play with Ml's. Potter they
thought was just too sweet for anything.
They objected to this picture because some
thing aiied Bellevv’s collar and to t hat one
because there was a wrinkle iu his coat
They adored Bellew and they bought pictu res
enough apiece to lay out something like SSO
in the sum total. 'All of which was very
nice for the photographer. Bellew never
equaled Montague as a lady-killer, and bis
popularity threatened to fall off at the end
of last season, but he seems to be establish
ing himself in feminine favor again. There
are not many actors whose pictures sell
like that among women. Robert Hilliard,
Herbert Kelcoy, Mantell, Maurico Barry
more and E. H. Sotheru go, however,
very well. Women buy Irving’s portrait
to some extent, but not to equal the beauty
men.
THERE IS NO BETTER WAY
to get a view of some really good-looking
women than to eat a Sorosis lunch at Del
monico’s, if you are of the right sex to do so,
some bright afternoon. Sorosis, from its
position as a pioneer among the women’s
clubs of the country, has been the butt of
over much ridicule, but asa plain, ordinary,
every day matter of fact, it comprises in
its membership some of the prettiest and
some of the best-dressed women of New
York. Of the younger set, Jennie June’s
daughter, Vida Cfroly, is a fresh and fair ex
ample, with one of the most attractive
faces that one ever sees iu the metropolis.
Mine. Domorest’s yoHiiger daughter is au
otiier very beautiful girl, and Mine. Dem
urest herself is a fine specimen of the
stately dame. Mi's. Lizzie W. Champney,
wife of the artist, aud herself a well-known
writer, is a member and a very pleasant
person to look on, and Georgia Cayvan, the
actress, is not accustomed to have her beauty
railed in question. Mrs. Hammond, wife
of Dr. William Hammond, is a handsome
woman, and Mrs. May Riley Smith, oue of
the sweetest-voiced oi the minor poets, has
an oval face that suits an artist, with soft
brown hair and the most winning of smiles
The brightest and pleasantest thing at any
session at which she is present, is Mi's. George
Hoffman, with her smiling eyes aud wavy
gray hair, who has been widely known in
philanthropic work in the city, but who
lives at High Point, on the Hudson, since
her husband’s death. Mrs, M. Louish
Thomas, the President, is a ploasant
looking woman in motherly home fash
ion.
Sorosis is a cosmopolitan institution.' It
admitted tw o women worth $4,000,000 and
$2,000,000 respectively ut a recent meeting,
but women dependent on their own efforts
are numerous and respected iu the society.
Mrs. Lord, of the shopping firm of Lord &
Taylor, is an active member, but Mrs. Ayer,
of Recamier cream fame, so I am told, once
had her name proposed and was advised to
withdraw it.
THE TWO COLORED LADIES
whose presence as delegates to the Woman’s
Congress at its recent session in New York
occasioned some little stir, are among the
best known and most cultivated women of
their race. Mi's. M. S. Cary is one of the
two colored lawyers among women, the
other being Miss Florence Ray, of Brooklyn.
Mi's. Frances E. Harper, tne temperance
lecturer, is probably the most promineut
Afro-American woman in America.
Mi's William Todd Helmuth, who with
drew all her invitations to a reception to the
delegates when she found that the colored
women must be included, is a Virginian, and
she had a brother iu the Confederate army.
She is a very bright woman, and her hus
band, tho eminent homeopathist, is said to
have received a great deal of assistance from
her in bis medical writings. She has been
very popular aud more than once talked of
as President of Sorosis.
The heroine of the hour iS Mme. Demor
est, who threw herself into the breach, re
ceived all members of the association at her
house, appeared in mauve silk looking her
best, and was especially cordial to Mi's.
Carey and Mrs. Harper, as was everybody
who knew anything about the matter,
while all the time ihe innocent causes of the
difficulty were entirely unaware of Mrs.
Helmutn’s feeling or of the efforts Mme.
Deinorest had made in their behalf.
Sorosis treated the delegates as honored
guests.
The proper caper in toilet articles is silver
just now, My lady's pincushion is the latest
novelty going. It is made of silver, or set
in silver at least, and it has a prominent
placed in the boudoir. It deserves it, too.
It is a very high-toned pincushion, indeed.
Its frame is round, oval, or of any shape
you please, wrought in silver, with enam
eled or repousses or etched designs. Some
times it is set with rough pearls. Some
times it is of antique silver or silver with
raised work in gold. It has an upholstered
satin top and it opens like a box. acting, in
fact, in the double capacity of pincushion
and jewel case. It is • a pretty toy, and
women of fashion find it a great comfort to
their hearts. It costs from sl2 to $75. All
combs, brushes and hand mirrors are set in
silver ow. All one’s manicure sets, and
cologne bottles, and toilet and
mysteries of all descriptions go in silver
cases. Woe is me tor plush. It isgone, and
silver, especially silver and pearls, has the
call to-day.
It is altogether the thing just now for
an impecunious society woman to go in
to trade. There are half a dozen small arts
iu wffiich her connections are of distinct
value. I have heard within the week of
one who imports and ainty bonnets, of another
who paints toilet articles and menu cards,
of a third who does tine embroideries for
swell baby clothes, and of a fourth who
conducts a sort of private brokerage iu
duplicate wedding presents.
A NEW BUSINESS FOR WOMEN.
Miss Corson on a Training ..chool for
Servants.
[Copyrighted 1887]
New York, Nov. 12.—There is anew
business for women which is just gaining
foothold in New York. It is that of teacher
of domestic servants.
She of the kitchen has so far repented of
her deficiencies or become so far aware of
the better pay and better nousehold positions
to ’oe secured by remedying them, that it
has become an occupation which already
supports a number of capable women of
some executive ability to go about from
house to house, aud in the kitchens of the
mistreses or in the girls’ homes, or in rooms
especially fitted up for that purpose, to give
E metical lessons in cookery aud other house
old arts.
Girls who have not come under this form
of instruction, in cases where they can raise
the money to pay for it, are beginning to
go to the hotel chefs and pick up culinary
wrinkles, at so much the w'rinkle, from
them. There is no doubt that a certaiu
proportion of the more intelligent of the
kitchen queens have thoroughly waked up
to the fact that a better order of domestic
service is called for and will be paid for if
obtained.
I called upon Miss Juliet Corson, the
pioneer of the cooking schools, in her
rooms at the Continental Hotel, yesterday,
to inquire into the truth of the report of a
traiuiug school for servants on a large
scale to be established in New York under
her charge and under the auspices of Secre
tary Whitney’s wife. Miss Corson is not in
good health and has many ingenious con
trivances for carrying on her literary work
without rising from the couch ou which she
spends much of h r time.
“It is not true,” she said, “that
any definite arrangements have
been made, or that Mrs. Whit
ney has been in communication with
me at all upon the subject. I do not know
of anything definite enough to be called a
plan on foot in the city. At the same time
things are ripe for just such a project, if
money enough could be raised to start it on
such a scale as to give it any real influence
in the city, and if the thing were in the
hands of responsible people practical enough
to know just what to do.”
“If such a school were established,” I
asked, ‘Moes your experience lead you to be
lieve that the right kind of girls would go
into it? Is not the position oi domestic
servant held iu such disrepute that it would
be hard to find tiie intelligent and self-re
speeting giri, wiio ought to have charge of
the domestic eeonomy of the kitchen, who
would (vi re to fit herself for any such place
as a profession?”
“That trouble would have been felt a few
years ago,” Miss Corson said, “and has
interfered with some attempts of the sort,
but things are beginning to be different now.
Anarchy in the kitchen has produced such
a weeping and wailing throughout the land
that it has penetrated the ears of servant
dom, and the girls themselves know that it
is to the interest of their pocketbooks to do
better.”
“Would American girls go into a training
school for servants?” 1 asked.
“Not many, probably. Some would be
glad of a chance to fit themselves for posi
tions as supervising or working housekeep
ers, places which pay better than many
things which well educated and intelligent
women do.”
“It would surprise you to know,” Miss
Corson went on, '‘how many girls there are
who are only waiting for a chance to be
to light. I have cme across numbers of
them who are ready to give their time and
their money to learn how to perform their
duties better, not from any pricking of
conscience, but because they know it would
pay them in the end. The constant agita
tion of the subject has produced that much
effect at least.”
The domestic problem is a perplexing one,
aud there have lteen divers attempts at. u
solution in New York. Several attempts at
systematic training of servants have been
made, one of the most notable dating from
1873, when a cooking-school and industrial
training establishment—the outgrowth of
tho financial panic which drove many
women to depend on themselves for bread
and butter—was established aud did good
work for some time. A similar institution
was opened in 1878, but fell through largely
because many of the girls admitted were too
you ig to take positions in families. The
Industrial Education Association, in which
Miss Grace H. Dodge, the School Commis
sioner, is so largely- interested, has cooking
classes, of which Miss Alice Burns Is Princi
pal, but the pupils are for the meet part
school children, and the same is the case
with the New York Cooking School in
Latavel te place. A start has been made by
tho Beard ol Education toward introducing
cooking as a study m the girls’ grammar

schools, but the arrangement is not likely to
fo into practical operation for some time.
u point of fact , the "lately landed" just set
ashore at Cast la Garden has few places open
to her iu which she could learn to preside
over the family digestion if she wished. All
attempts to precipitate a domestic revolu
tion in the right direction, townril efficiency
iu the kitchen, in New York, are hindered
by that dilettante charity which leads
women with money and social ambition to
get their names placed upon “boards” of
all sortn,philanthropic aud semi-philanthrop
ic, more with the idea of seeing themselves
in good company than with that of being
any help.
There are not far from 50,000 domestic
servants in and about New York. There
is no branch of woman’s industry that is
more overcrowded. The intelligence offices
are full aud an advertisement will overrun
you with dozens of applicants. There is no
Eauacea for the evils of low wages and long
ours among working women that is more
absolutely devoid of common sense, in the
city at least, than the advice to the hold •
of factory girls and shop gi Is to e ter
domestic service. They are nobettertraineil
for it than the army already in it, and to
flood us with more inefficient servants,
when the business affords no adequate
means for raising the standard of those now
engaged, would be as prodigious a blunder
as was ever devised. The cry is for good
servants, not for more servapts, and there
can be good servants only as yvomen culti
vate the practical sense and the large mind
edness yvhich will make their Kitchens
places that ambitious, intelligent young
women will voluntarily work in.
It is in women’s hands that the only
remedy lies, for women control social con
ditions. Clerks, young business men, pro
fessional men marry saleswomen, and they
take honorable plaeas in society without
question. Eligible men don’t marry servant
girls, and it is the fault of women who have
put a social degradation on kitchen work
that keeps the girls they want in the kitchen
out of it. liaise domestic service to the
rank of a skilled occupation, ceas • to super
vise a girl’s dress, her hours, her beau-,
contract for a fixed amount of work and
leave her as free when it is done as you are
free yourself, then start the traiui ig school
and show a respect for its work and its
graduates and the domestic problem will
cease to be a problem and not till then.
The very showiness of a servant’s dress is
her one protest against the conditions of her
life, and what an ineffectual one it is. “Put
the lady in cotton dress, the girl in silks, I
know them apart every time,” was the
rather [autistic response of a young Swe’e
to me when I congratulated her on anew
gown one day. "Me—apron—cap—or me
have bonnet?” And a German girl not a
week in America pieced out her English
with emphatic gestures to know if she must
go into livery, the other day: “M • lady
home, me servant here, people must know on
street?” She went on. The pay for domes
tic service is high for very poor work, and
it will stay so till the conditions are such
that a different kind of girl likes to go into
it. Eliza Putnam Heaton.
EXTRAORDINARY W 2DDING TRIP.
And How it Turns up in a Suit for a
Mill n Lollars.
From the iVew York Herald.
A remarkable ■ account of a wedding trip
was related yesterday afternoon in the
United States Court, Brooklyn, by the lady
who was the bride. It was given in evi
dence in the suit of Leonora Arnold against
Charles A. Cheeseborough to recover
$1,000,000. Mrs. Cheeseborough resided for
many years in Seventeenth street, in this
city. At her death she left a fortune of
$2,000,000, the income of which was to go to
her two sons, Charles A. and Blazius M.
Cheeseborough. At the death of either the
principal was to be divided between the sur
vivor and the issue of his deceased brother.
If one of them died without issue, the sur
vivor was to possess the entire estate.
Blazius M. died without lawful issue, as it
was supposed, aud Charles got all the
property. Leonora Arnold claimed to be
the legitimate child of Blazius by a mar
riage with her mother, Josephine Cregier,
who made the extraordinary recital referred
1 1 above. She testified that in the spring of
1854, when Blazius was staying at a dancing
academy and boarding house. No 16 Jones
street, he proposed that they should go to
Baltimore aud get married. She agreed,
and they started for Baltimore in a car
riage. They were several days on the jour
ney, and stayed together at various hotels
on the road, occupying the same room.
When they reached Baltimore they
went to a hotel and registered as
man and wife, and were accommodated
as such. After staying there for some
time they returned by carriage to New
York. In 1857 Leonora, the plaintiff, was
born. The witness said nothing about any
marriage ceremony. After this, apparently,
Jo ephine left Mr. Blazius M. Cheese
borough, who was addicted to drink and
didn’t always treat her well. She testified
that she went to Charleston, S C., and there
lived as the wife of a Mr. John Jackson,
and was known as Nellie Jackson. Subse
quently she went with him to Nashville,
Teun. She is 'now staying with a friend
near Troy.”
The trial was adjourned after Referee
Benedict had read over the testimony and
Josephine had signed it. Mr. Walter S
Logan conducted the case for the defendant.
Remarkable Watch Dial.
From the Jewelry News
A gentleman connected with the Illinois
Wati-u Company has a wonderfully curious
watch dial. Instead of the Roman num r
als to denote the hours, there are eleven
small but very distinct silhouette figures,
representing a man out with his dogs for a
day’s sport. At 7 o’clock he is seen starting
out with his gun and dog; at 8 o’clock he
makes a shot; at 9 o’clock he has a sand-hill
crane which measures as long as himself; at
10 o’clock the man and his dog are scared at
the sight of a jack-rabbit, which is sitting
upon his hind legs, with his big long ears
raised above the bushes; at 11 o’clock tho
hunter takes a drink, and while in this atti
tude the dog sits in front of his master, with
his nose pointing directly at tne flask; at 12
o’clock the sportsman is seen sitting on a
stump, and is eating a lunch —the dog is
eyeing the piece of bread which tho hunter
has in his hand. At l o’clock he starts out to
fish the rest of the day, and so he takes his
dog and fishing tackle, and goes to the
wa er; at 2 o’clock the nog, which is behind
his master, has been c ugkt with the hook
by an attempt to throw in his line; at 8
o'clock he and the dog are all straightened
out again, aud the line is in the water; he
has both hands on the pole, and his foot
braced on a stump by the water's dgo as
though he had a tremendous bite; at 4
o’clock the man has got a big fish on his
line, which has pulled him off his feet, and
he falls on the dog and doubles him all up,
but the man is holding fast to the pole,
which is almost bent double; at 5 o’clock he
is all straightened out again; with his fish
in the other hand he starts out for home,
the dog following behind with his head
hanging down, being tired out. The man’s
name is also painted in the centre of the
dial in rustic letteiu. The dial reflects a
great deal of credit upon the artist, Mr.
Charles Geyer. The figure VI issuperseded

A QUEER SOUVENIR.
A Gold Ring from the Artificial Palate
of a Dead Man.
Macon ( Ga .) Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
“Yes,” said Capfi. Simpson to-day,
while a small party were discussing
the ingenuity displayed by prisoners of
war, “there were some strange bits of talent
developed among the prisoners of war.
“I remember, at Fort Delaware, we had
a number of Louisiana ‘Tigers' as cooks and
uui'ses at the hospital. Among them were
two men named Mims and Schmidt, who
did not look to be at all skilleu iu any fancy
work.
“An old man named Northeutt was
brought into the hospital and. after a few
days of lingering, he died. Mims, myself
and a few others knew that Northeutt had
a false palate of gold plate. After North
cutt’s death he was placed in the dead house
over night and, bamtening to pass through
tiie apart ment at a late hour, 1 was horrified
to see that Northcurt’s face had oeeu cut
open so os to extract the plate.
“Well, sir, in a few days gold rings began
to emanate from the kitchen, where Schmidt
held sway, and when I inquired where the
gold came from, Miins frankly acknowl
edged removing the plate which Sehiuidt
made up into gold rings.
He gave me one of the rings and my sister
has it at her home in this city now. It is a
queer keepsake and considerably out of the
common run, but it shows the indifference
with which these men regarded death and
at the same time the remarkable ingenuity
developed by men who had absolutely noth
ing to do.”
“Were such instances common, Captain?”
“Oh, ves; they were quite in the ordinary
way. I know one man who has to-day a
fine business and plenty of cash who earned
his first money of airy consequence while a
youth imprisoned in Fort Delaware.
“He wa- a rough and ready Georgia boy
and knew nothing about jewe.ers’ method;.
When confined time hung heavy ou his
hands and he began carving trinkets out ot
bits of bone, silver coins, which he obtained
in bartering, and these he sold to the Fed
eral guards and visitors, thereby accumu
lating a good deal of ‘yankee’ money and
perfect stacks of Confederate hills. Being
exchanged he came home, invested bis
money aud thus turned bis imprisonment to
profitable account.”
