£N FEMININE FIELDS.
H# Attention Which Ellen Terry At
tracts When Shopplnß.
New York, Nov. 19. —She was a pretty
girl and she outshone everybody else at an
afternoon tea. It was an introductory tea,
and the oompany was large and a trifle mis
cellaneous. The pretty girl was not being
introduced, but people’s eyes followed her
to the uneasiness of the bud who was. The
bud had been brought up in Europe and had
just come home to bloom.
The pretty girl had a rare neo-Greek face
•with decorative handstand skin like snow.
She was a slender little thing, with eyes of a
clear dark brown, soft and rather shy. Her
hair was a decided red and slightly curly.
She wore it brushed back from a low broad
forehead and twisted into a Greek knot at
the back of her bead. She had the figure of
a Diana, and she was so simply unconscious
of her gown that her attitude was a triumph
in its way.
The gown itself was another triumph. It
was a soft white cloth affair, flowing in long
lines and fitting as gowns never lit except
when they are draped by an artist and worn
by an artist too. There were pearls em
broidered on the bodice, and the girdle was
strung with pearls.
Everybody looked at her, and she accept
ed the notice she attracted quietly, not
abashed and not very much surprised.
The pretty girl was at the tea on her reg
ular business, and as her next friend re
vealed the secret to me I may as well pass it
along.
She was a girl without a dressmaker’s
bill, who, on the contrary , was paid by an
enterprising firm of modistes for wearing
her very effective gowns.
“Marie’s mother was a society woman
when she had money,” so the story ran,
“and Marie had society connections of some
extent and value. She could get invitations
easier than she could bread and butter, and
so she is proceeding to get her bread and
butter through her invitations. She wears
the prettiest things there are going and she
makes an income that isn’t a bad one out of
the commissions she receives for the custom
ers she sends to swell modistes who fit her
out. She isn’t obtrusive about it, you
know, and the most of them look up the
people who make her the best dressed wom
an they meet without so much as guessing
that it means dollars and cents to her.
“She would be quiet about it anyway, for
Marie is as nice a girl as there is; but she
has to be cautious about keeping the adver
tising in the background for business rea
sons, for it would cut her out of some
nice houses if people knew what she was
doing.
“marie is clever and she has made the
success of two or three combinatious this
fall.”
Marie, it must be acknowledged, is an in
genious boons-., and she boats the tailors’
models out of sight.
ELLEN TERRY HAS A KNACK
of making friends off the stage as well as
on it, and not long since she made one at
least who will not forget her.
Her carriage was standing in front of a
New York florist’s and a little knot of peo
ple had gathered to see her leave the store
and cross the pavement before driving off.
Presently Miss Terry was in the doorway, a
bunch of filming chrysanthemums in her
hand.
The shoppers and young men about town
stood their ground for an instant to take in
the effect of the fluffy light hair, the big
gray eyes and the trim figure in a dark
tailor gown. Then they fell back hastily,
half ashamed of their curiosity, for people
pay more than an average degree of def
erence to the charming English actress on
the street.
The movement was so sudden that the
tiniest of jjirl peddlers, a little creature not
over sor b years old, with a handful of
bright-colored whips, was thrown down.
She had been standing just on the curb, and
but for the quick movement of a rather
dudish young man —of the Bob Hilliard
rather than tne Berry Wall type, however
—who split a very neat glove in the lunge he
make to pick her up, would have rolled
under the heels of Miss Terry's spirited
team.
The child gave one gulp, half of fright
and half of surprise, and then looked round
for the bunch of whips, imperturbably com
posed once*more, as the manner of the
gamin is. Miss Terry dropped change
enough to have bought up the whole stock
into the little but dirty hand, and then held
out her own with a quick movement of
cordiality to the dudish young man, leaving
her chrysanthemums in his. She did not
say a word and she was gone in an instant,
for Miss Terry hates crowds; but her glauce
was expressive enough to stand for a volume
and the young man pulled off the torn glove
—it was the one she had touched —and
stowe lit away in a pocketbook, handling
it very respectfully as a treasured memento,
staring after the carriage like one in dream.
He looked down at the flowers, she had ieft
him, almost incredulously, passed his hand
over them and then across his forehead to
assure himself he was not living in fairy
land, and added some good-sized silver bits,
by way of getting down to an everyday
basis again, to the bonanza with which the
little peddler was making off.
Ellen Terry had reduced a slave to bond
age, and, as for the lookers on, they liked
the voting man better than they usually like
dudes.
THE NUMBER IS WELL
nigh legion, in a big eity like New York, of
women and girls whose daily tasks keep
them from home after dark, and who make
their way through the streets alone with
perfect impunity. The belated traveler
meets them, singly and in groups, at the
bridge and ferries at all hours from early
dark till long past midnight, and, if he is
out so late himself toward morning. Some
of them—not v > y many—set type in news
paper offices, and a good many in telegraph
offices, though they are supposed not
to, and there is a respectable minority in a
freat variety of trades and occupations.
ut the vast body of them aro clerks ami
cashiers in the big stores, whose labors dur
ing the busy season keep them away from
home late at night. Even in s-tores where
there is an "early closing” rule, the
purchasers are not got rid of till ti o'clock
w hen there is still the work of clearing up
the day’s debris to be done, and there is no
pretense of closing early on Saturday even
ings or during the holidays. Midnight very
frequently overtakes the toiler at the coun
ter with her tasks unfinished, and there are
occasions when nearly the whole night must
lie spent in preparation for some especial
coup of trade.
The woman doctor is out at all hours, of
course, and I have mot a medical student of
barely twenty trudging along at 2 o’clock in
the morning, while the falling rain almost
blinded her, her hand on the shoulder of a
ragged lad of 10, who was conducting her to
a sick bed in the east side tenement region.
It is a good deal to the credit of the me
tropolis that, as a rule, these gii-ls are near
ly as safe from rudeness as in the daylight.
They are modest and unobtrusive in appear
ance. they mind their own business and
have ways to make the would-be masher
mind his. From night toilers of the other
sox—men and boys who are out o’ nights on
errands of necessity—they have little to
fear. The workingman or boy may be rude
when he is drunk, and sometimes when he is
not, but ho is seldom persistent and not often
intentionally troublesome.
THIS GROWING FREQUENCY
of night employment for women means a
tremendous change in the once accepted no
tions and opinions of mankind. The Judge
who declares from the bench that a woman
has no business to be abroad after dark is
yet heard from once in a while, but the
anachronism always calls forth a burst of
righteous indignation. I was talking with
a night-worker masculine the other day
about this very topic. He said that he had
often lost his horse car and bail to wait a
hali hour for another in the wee small
hours, because of his reluctance to let a fol
low-worker feminine grope alone for her car
in the muddy streets. liespite this experi
ence, which is enough to make any but the
most sweet-tempered man conservative, he
spoke most enthusiaetioolly of tho effects
likely to be produced upon women, especial
ly young women, by self-supporting hab
its, and said he looked to see them gain in
worth and dignity and practical knowledge
by contact with practical necessities. The
working girl will never be wholly practical,
however, so long as she permits a man to
lose his own car while finding hers unless she
has reason to suspect that the service is a
pleasure to him.
The more nearly even the terms upon
which women and men conduct their daily
business the better it is for the business wom
an probably.
Gertrude Garrison, of the American
Press Association, and Mrs. Eliza Archard
Conner, who was one of the pioneers among
women journalists, and who is widely
know as a correspondent, have been the
feminine Damon and Pythias of New York.
They roomed together in a cosy little flat
and worked together for years. Last spring
Mrs. Conner thought she was retiring from
regular newspaper work. She bought a
farm in Ohio and spent the summer on it,
but drifted back, as everybody does, to New
York this fall. She expects to take the lec
ture field for a time, at least.
Henry George’s wife is almost unknown
In New York, but his daughters’ faces are
becoming familiar. They are pretty girls,
who are enthusiasts in their father’s behalf,
and who will probably make themselves
felt one day in the organization of working
women.
John Swinton’s wife is recognized where
ever she goes almost as quickly as the Ameri
can Victor Hugo himself. Wherever one
sees the striking figure in black broadcloth
suit, white lawn tie and inevitable skull
cap, the devoted woman who has
stood by him, unflinching and with unfalt
ering faith, year after year, is sure to be not
far from his side, brave, patient, proud and
hopeful still.
Mrs. U. S. Grant will probably make
something of a figure m society this winter.
She will not entertain on any large scale,
that being not her taste, nor in accord with
her widowhood; but she will see more peo
Ele than she has done in the past and her
ouse will become something of a rendez
vous. E. P. H.
HIS MEMORY’S QUEER FREAK.
How MaJ. Hartley, of Paterson, Lost
and Regained It.
From the New York 'World.
Maj. John E. Hartley, whose law office is
at No. 146 Broadway, in this city, lives in
Paterson and is Judge Advocate General
on the staff of Gen. Steele, of the First Brig
ade N. G. N. J. He has just recovered
from a long sickness resulting from an acci
dent in the discharge of his dutv at the Sea
Girt encampment last August, which de
throned his reason and brought him as near
death’s door as few men come who live to
tell of it. There is only one other case on
record like his, and his recovery is regarded
as so remarkable that a careful account is
being prepared for a medical work. A
reporter found Maj. Hartley at his pleasant
residence last night and was told his story.
“It is a simple tale,” said the Major, smil
ing, and then he leaned back in an easy
chair and began.
“The Adjutant and aids were forming the
brigade for dress parade on the night after
we arrived in camp, Sunday, Aug. 21. when
Gen. Steele rode out upon the field. I fol
lowed him In the centre of the parade
ground the gun squad had taken position
preparatory to firing sunset gun. Gen.
Steele saw* this, and dePTred me to go over
to the Lieutenant and tell him to move his
men to one side of the field. I put spurs to
my horse, which was a strange animal hired
at a Hoboken stable, and was soon by the
side of the Lieutenant. I gave the order,
and in an instant the gun was turned about.
The quick motion startled my horse, who
began to run away. He plunged forward
so quickly that I was thrown on his neck,
and could not get back into the saddle.
“The horse made for the stables, not far
off. and quick as a flash I remembered that
the lintel was very low and that if I re
mained where I was I should bo badly hurt.
I at once let myself down by the animal’s
side and then virtually threw myself to the
ground. A crowd of officers rushed to me
and picked me up, but I did not think I was
hurt. They carried me to my tent, but I
was not injured apparently, f attended to
my duties without any difficulty during the
week. Friday night the Governor’s bail
was held. I attended it, and after being in
troduced to two la ies and presenting them
to Gov. Green as well, was excused and re
turned to my tent. There I was joined by
Capt. Boltwood, one of Gen. Steele’s aids.
He noticed something strange in in v actions.
Capt. Thorpe, of Paterson, came to the tent
and sat outside in view of the opening for
awhile. Finally he burst out with: ‘What
is the matter with you? Are you sick?’ I
then shook hands with him arid said a few
words. I had previously paid no attention
to him. He told me all this afterward. I
do not remember it.
“When camp broke up I went to Ocean
Grove, where my wife was staying. We
spent a week there and it was found that
mv memory was gone. My wife would
spend the afternoon with me, and at supper
I would ask her where she had been all the
afternoon. ‘With you, of course, ’ she would
reply: but I had no remembrance of it.
After stopping a short time with my broth
er in New York I returned to Paterson. On
September 7, I left home for my business in
New York. I remember saying to my wife
that if I did not feel better before many
hours than I did then I would come home
early. I remember nothing after this for
weeks.
“I went to the office, lam told, stagger
ing as I walked along the street in N w
York like a drunken man. Col. Hamilton,
of Hackensack, and Maj, Ruynon offered to
assist me when I got off the ferry boat, but
I told them somewhat shrplv that I wrs
quite able to walk to my offl without any
man’s help. When I walked into the office
Dr. Carr, of New York, a brother-in-law of
Gen. Steele, was there transacting some
business. Mai. Ruynon had followed into
the office, thinking I might need assistance.
I had scarcely taken off my coat w hen Dr.
Carr exclaimed to Maj. Ruynon: ‘Why, that
man is crazy.’ They got a carriage and took
me to the house of my sister. Mrs. Alice A.
Burdick, a doctor living in West Forty fifth
street. There I stayed for weeks, my life
despaired of and my reason gone.
“So far as I now know I was unconsrious
for most of the time, for I cannot remem
ber anything about it. Dr. W. B. King, tbe
electrician, of Fifty-third street; Dr. Wil
liam G. Hartley, of No. 349 West Twentv
fourth street, and my brother and Prof.
O’Connor, of the New York Homeopathic
College, attended me. They found that a
clot of blood had formed on the part of the
brain controlling the memory. Softening
of the brain would soon tie the result, they
said: and if 1 lived, which was improbable,
l would be a hopeless lu atic. From Aug.
21 to Sept. 7, when I lost my memory com
pletely, I was in the condition of a m-m
whose bra'n was softening, I suppose. For
three weeks my pulse was in the forties, and
there was no hope of life. I am told that I
seemed to recognize my wife, and asked for
relations who had been in California for
years, and for my child, who died a year
ago. At the end of this period I began to
gain, but my memory suddenly returned
about Oct. 1. The clot of blood had been
absorbed, and the pressure on the brain was
removed.
"The return of my memory was like a
sudden great light bursting upon me. It
seeme l as if a very bright reflector turned
the sun’s rays into my face. Everything
and everybody seemed bright. That is the
only way I can describe it. I had a terrible
pain in my head. Every night was like a
year. I had about twenty pillows and tried
to put my head in a position in which I
could sleep, but without success. I finally
became afraid to go to bed. I would lie
Blinking of business and other matters, but
would get everything mixed up. My body
was like a piece of wood. If I moved an
inch in bed the clothes which I ceased to
touch would be jast as cold as a bed is when
one first gets in. About the middle of Octo
ber I returned to Paterson with my physi
cians amt stayed ar home until ten days ago.
when I began going to New York, but I
can’t do anything yet.
“I did not strike my head in falling. The
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1887.
officers wear chapeaus, very stiff in front
and behind. An examination of my
chapeau shows that the back is broken, and
the blow that made the break probably
caused the rupture of the art ry. I never
had a headache in inv life, but I am told
that after my fall from the horse I said to
some of the officers that my head hurt me
Of that I know nothing, however. I feel
now as I ahvay did, with one exception. I
cannot go up stairs easily. Unless 1 am
very careful I am seized with dizziness.
When my memory returned I saw every
thing double. The pupil of one eye had
been greatly enlarged. I was given glasses,
and the difficulty is almost removed. The
physicians will give no medicine for my
eyes. ”
Maj. Hartley was asked if his memory
failed before the night of the Governor’s
ball. “Yes, I think it did to some extent,”
he said. “It rained Monday night and the
camp was nearly deluged, but my remem
brance of it is indistinct or I have none
at all.
“Avery peculiar thing about the case.”
the Major continued, “is that my taste for
tobacco is gone. I was an inveterate
smoker and chewer. As soon as reason re
turned I cal lei for a cigar and smoked it,
but from that time to this I have not had
the slightest desire for the weed. Occasion
ally' my hand goes mechanically 'nto my
pocket, and when I find nothing there Ire
member what I am searching for.”
Maj. Hartley is about 50 years old and is
a rnan of education and refinement. The
whole city rejoices in his recovery.
THE DOG WAS A WOLF.
An Unfortunate Rustler Left With 17
Big Hungry “Bar” on His Hands.
Fred H. Curruth in Chicago Tribune.
“That's a peculiar-looking dog of yours,”
one of us suggested to a Wyoming settler
near whose house we camped one night.
“Y-e-s, 'tis some peculiar,” he replied.
“Fact is, gen’l’men, that dog's a wolf.”
“Why don’t you kill it and get the
bounty?”
“’Shi I’m onto this bounty all right!
Haiu’t beard any talk ’bout the bounty be
in’ repealed by the next Legislature, I
reckon?”
“No.”
“Glad o’ that; I don’t want to get stuck
again. I got two more wolves out ’n barn,
an’ I’m coin’ to raisin’ ’em. I ’low in a year
or so to nave a pretty rspectable flock to
turn in to the Territorial Treasurer.”
“It ought to pay.”
“ ’Twill if I don’t get stuck like 1 did in
Northern Wisconsin once.”
“How was that?”
“B ar—started a b’ar farm. The State
was payin’ £lO apiece for b’ar scalps an'
mighty tickled to get ’em at that. I got n
pair of black b’ar an’ took good care of
’em, an’ in a few years I had a lively herd
of seventeen as perty b’ar as you ever seen.
’Lowed to kill ’bout ten of ’em in the spring
an - send the scalps to the State Treasurer,
tellin’ him how I went out into the woods
an’ fit ’em with an ax an’ got most chawed
up, but itdidn’. work—l got floored.”
“How did it happen?”
“Legislature went an' repealed the law,
an’ there I was, left with seventeen big
hungry b’ar on my hands, an’ the bottom
gone out o’ the b'ar more’n a mile straight
down! Seventeen b'ar, an’ b'ar a drug in
the market! Back yard so full of chained
up b’ar that you couldn’t walk, an’ the
price o’ b ar goin’ down so you could hear it
hum! It made me sick! I drove my whole
hock down ten miles, where Abe Dunn lived
—wh; was in the Legislature an’ voted agin
b'ar —an’ left oui nnr his hog-pen, an’ then
I pulled up an’ came out here to raise
wolves.”
Ix a recent week 80,000 bushels u. , xxseed
were shipped from. Washburn, Wis., to Easter
