I RETT'S DARKENED LIFJ.
ins Why She Lives in Re
and Has Never Married.
Letter to Philadelphia Prat*.
Garrett is the wealthiest spin
litod States. With Baltimore
road stock at par she is prob
■ight or ten millions. No one
Garrett family really knows
iry is worth. She is certainly
han her weight in gold, and
married. When her father,
irrett, died, his fortune was
timated at from ,000,000 all
to $50,000,000. No accurate
s ever made. In fact efforts
> conceal the figures from the
;n the gossips and impecuni
ngers ceased guessing at the
;h, they began to estimate on
-’s fortune. Quite a number
cquaintances gloated over the
;iven in the newspapers of her
lerties and the estimated ex
fortune. What a prize she
een in the matrimonial lottery!
never in the lottery, so the
Baltimore society looked and
a.
;t is not a marrying woman,
is 20 years of age she had no
falling in love than she has
, nearly that ago. Though not
man, she is a highly educated
a the order of the Rose Cleve-
Iheis net strong minded, but
ge her great wealth and steer
business and society without
having ainas a magnet. While not a
handsome Miss Garrett has a charm
ing manner, pleasing way about her that
makes one f w e t that she is homely or that
sne is rich, a\ to only realize that he is
talking to a nsiblo and cultured woman
who is intoresi in tbo noble work of elevat
ing her sex an caring for poor and suffer
ing womanhoci
Miss Garretts the greatest of all the
Garretts in hoijuiet and unosteutious way
of doing goor Her charities are not
paraded beforeie public, and she can sel
dom he persuaj to permit her name to be
published in collection with her generous
acts. Nearly (try institution for the in
valid or the orphan in Maryland re
ceives handsomgifts from her annually.
She has endowl an institution for a home
where poor cldren taken from vicious
parents will fin a refuge. A fine building
has been ere. pi, Miss Garrett and her
brother Rcberf donating a large sura of
money forthisiurpose. She is the patroness
of the Socie y hr, the Protection of Children
from Cruelty p.i Vice.
Though real(l in lux >rv, Miss Garrett’s
life has been tiged with sadness. Riches
have had no ,arm for her, and had her
father taken til advice of her mother and
herself he wouhnot have wrecked himself
on the shoals ofambition. John W. Gar
rett’s wife anddaughter were devoted to
him, and he wa no doubt the only great
railroad magnatof his time who confided
all his financial,chemos to the women of
his household, ’ass Mary was her father’s
counsellor in eveything. He had a dozen
private secretarie, but she was his only
confidential aid. After important railroad
conferences the poceedings in detail were
written out by Hs stenographer aud he
then took them hmo for her to read. To
gether they conspired what more it was
best to do. Her business tact and judg
ment frequently sived her father from
disastrous battles wth old Vanderbilt. In
his private offices at ]is country home and
his city mansion she lad her little rosewood
desk beside her fathe’s table, and here they
often worked and couulted late into the
night. She looked ajer all his other inter
est* outside of the raixoad, and it is said he
never bought a piece rf property or made
any important investment without first
consulting her. It was this influence
between husband, wife and daughter that
made John W. Garrett’s domestic life so
happy.
Mary Garrett seldom appears in society.
She nursed her mother in her last illness,
and during her father’s decline she devoted
herself entirely to him. For months his
mind was unsettled, and when the nurses
could not quiet him the patient daughter,
by her soothing presence, calmed him.
Night and day she was with him until death
came, and the blow was greater to her than
to any of the rest of the family. A few
years later, aud just when she hud begun to
take a renewed interest in life, her brother
Robert broke down and she found herself
again the nurse and companion of an in
valid. She tleveled around the world with
him, comforting her sister-in-law in her
troubles and controlling her brother in his
eccentric notions. Since their return she
continues with her brother in the cottage in
Ringwood, N. J. Had she married, her
home life would have been a happy one and
she a model wife. The dread of marrying
a man who would care only for the millions
she would bring him has no doubt led her
into the lonely life of a spinster.
In personal appearance Miss Garrett is
of a small but trim figure, dirk hair and
eyes, and not resembling either of her
brothers. She wears glasses constantly and
dresses in black. She has never put aside
the heavy mourning robes and gowns she
donned at her father’s death. She was
never fond of jewelry, and a solitaire dia
mond ring is about the only ornament she
has ever worn.
A SHIPBUILDER TALKS.
He Tells When the New Vessels Will
be Completed.
From the Washington Post.
Mr. Charles H. Cramp, of the shipbuild
ing yards of Cramp Bros., at Philadelphia,
was at the Riggs house last night. Mr.
Cramp is building five vessels for the new
navy—the Yorktown, the Baltimore, the
Philadelphia, the Newark and the Vesuvius.
Ihe Baltimore, Yorktown and Vesuvius
have already been launched.
“The Vesuvius,” said Mr. Cramp, “will
be ready for service iu about two months,
pbe would have been ready before this had
it not been resolved to Increase the size of
tier ten-inch dynamite guns. Fifteen-inch
guns will be put in instead of the ten-incb,
and the designers thus expect to vastly in
crease the desti uotice power of the vessel.
A lifteen-inch dynamite gun, constructed
according to Lieut. Zalinski’s plans,
has three times the power of a ten-inch
gun, the difference between 200 and
'")0, the ratio of increase in the power of
dynamite being very great, when the
V esuvius is completed and ready for service
she will be a very interesting addition, not
only to our navy, but to the lighting navies
ef the world. She will be the first of her
ki m anf * 1 * lO experiments made with her
'' ill be watched with the closest attention,
r-'en should she be a failure, it will bo
''ortli all the government is paying for her
■o test the capabilities of dynamite in
naval action. But I do not expect her to
he a failure. 1 think, on tho contrary, that
B he Will lie a great success.”
"How is tho Yorktown?”
1 !le hfktown will soon be completed,
the electric plant is generally the las thing
1,1 go in, and that wo are just putting in
now.” * r
"And the Philadelphia and Newark?”
, frames of both aro up and the hulls
tv . advanced. Wo are moving along very
satisfactorily.”
A' as there really any injury done to the
rn-post of the iiaitimore in tae launcn
mg?’
‘None. The newspaper reports were ex
aggerated. We took off the plates, made
i examination and replaced the ulatos. It
'as a trifling incident, and the Baltimore’s
ft ‘rn post is even stronger thou it ever
" b'ch will b? the fastest of the five war
shlpsyou are building ?”
and he Baltimore, I think.”
.And what will bo her rate of speod i”
~ .. 1 nat I would uot like to speak of
i nots*” r °bably about oighteen
liui is the fastest vessel you Lave evor
‘Jay Gould’s yacht, the Ataluuta. She
made sevouteeii knots."
“What do you think is the lynit of speed
in steam vessels}”
“Ah, there you are too much fer me.
They are building some 20-knot war ships
in England, and some of the English tor
pedo boats made even better time than
that. It is impossible to say what
the possibilties of the future are
in this direction. You see there must
betaken into considerati n a number of
c intending and conflicting forces. If we
increase the rate of speed we must increase
the coal supply and lessen the armament.
There is a point beyond which the coal
supply cannot be increased if the vessel is
to be run any distance without recoaling.
Nor can we lessen the weight of armament
beyond a certain point. Machinery, of
course, does a groat deal. For a time the
struggle was to get the greatest speed from
the lightest machinery, but the disposition
now is to make the machinery a little
heavier, so that we have reached and passed
the limit of light machinery as applied to
the highest rate of speed. While 1 do not
believe we have yet reached the limit of
speed, I think there is a practical limit to it,
though there may not be one in theory.
But there is one element in ship building in
which we have gone to the utmost ex
tremity, and that is in the combination of
lightness and strength in the construction
of frames and hulls. I don’ see that we can
g i any further in this direction.”
“Do you think the worK of rebuilding the
navy will continue under the republican
administration i”
“Oh, yes. The e has been no partisan
ship in the work so far doue. Republi
cans and democrats alike voted for the
various bills that have been passed by con
gress. lam confident there will be no
chock in the work begun.”
“What do you think of the prospects of a
revival of shipbuilding in the United
St-tea?”
“It is very good. There was a strong
sentiment in the last session of congress in
favor of some law to encourage a revival of
our merchant marine. All the members
of the Atlantic coast states would
favor such a measure, an 1 the
southern members, too, for there is
a prospect of a largo increase of trade
along the Gulf coast with South America.
I think the next congress is almost certain
to do something to assist our shipping in
dustry. Look at France. What a splendid
growth of their merchant marine during
the last few years! The French govern
ment has adopted a system of bounties that
hai been most successful. They allow so
much per ton for every vessel launched
from French shin-yards, and then so much
per ton for every 1,000 mi'es run by the
vessel and so much per kilogram of ma
chinery put in. And the Italian govern
ment is even more liberal in her bounties
than France. Both these countries have
reaped rich rewards from their liberality
toward their shipping interests.”
MME. PATTI’S PET.
A Chat with Carli-a Patti, Who is Back
in the Creole City.
Here is something readable from the New
Orleans IHcayune:
It is not often in real life that one sees a
fairy tale come true, but there has recently
returned to a little house on Ursulines
street a little maid who for a year and a
half has been living almo-t over again the
wonderful story of “Cinderella.” Her
name is Carlina Patti, and the fairy god
mother who summoned her from her quiet
little home to be her companion in wonder
ful travels, and to share the wealth and
splendors of & magnificent castle, is the
great singer called Adelina Patti by some
and La Diva by others.
The rain was falling in the most persistent
and dreary fashion yesterday when a re
porter knocked at the door of the little
house on Ursulines street. In an instant
there was a patter of high-heeled shoes
across the gallery, and Carlina herself, with
her short black hair curling around her face
and a smile of welcome in her big black
eyes, opened the door. She wore a delicious
gown of pink flannel, a trifle open at the
throat, trimmed with a quantity of soft
white lace.
"I have just returned to America,” she
said, “and have not had time to arrange
things,” with a comprehensive sweep of her
hand toward a couple of chairs piled high
with feminine finery, dresses and cloaks,
fans, slippers, boots, everything that goes to
make up the toilet of a woman of fashion.
“Tell you something about my trip} Weil,
you know that when Mme. Patti was here a
year ago sho wanted to adopt me and made
arrangements for me to join her when she
startod home from her American tour. I
went to St. Louis to join her, and since
then have been with her constantly
on her tours to Spain and Portu
gal and South America, and afterward
with her at Craig-y-Nos, her castle in
Wales. The castle—it is so beautiful you
can hardly fancy it.
“See,” said Carlina, indicating the rooms,
“this is the billiard room and this is auntie’s
boudoir. The walls are hung with crimson
tapestry, and the furniture is covered with
crimson velvet. On the chairs and sofas
are draped the ribbons, with the names
painted on them, you know, that tied the
wreaths the famous people in different
countries have sent her.’ And on the walls
are the phoiographs and autographs that
ail the crowned heads in Europe bavegiven.
Next to this isher bedroom. Here the walls
are hung with pale blue tapestry und the
bed is draped in blue and is of rosewood.
There are all sorts of silver aud gold toilet
articles, and on the desk is a wonderful paper
weight, all set with diamonds and rubies
and sapphires. Mme. Patti at the castle has
n bowl of broth brought to her before she
gets up, then she is dressed and spends the
morning writing her letters or her memoirs,
which she is going to publish. At
noon lunch is served in the winter gar
den. The bouse is always full of guests."
And the little maiden went over to the
table and brought a handful of visiting
cards, whereon were written the names of
many a house that flourishes in Burke’s
Peerage and the Almanach de Gotha.
“Sometimes, in the evening,” she went
on, “auntie would sing to us, hut sue goes
to Craig-y-Nos to rest, and she spends tho
time wandering about the beautiful moun
tains, or pniuting, or embroidering, or sim
ply doing nothing, and always she lias with
her her little Mexican dog President Diaz
gave her.”
“Is the roport true La Diva is going to
sell the castle J”
“Sell it? No, indeed, <he is devoted to it.
Why onlv last spring she bought all the
mountains surrounding it so no one might
spoil her view.”
•‘Will you return to your aunt?”
“I harillv know,” was the reply. “Auntie
wishes me to come and to lie her comuanion,
but I shall not go on the stage. When I left
sbo bade me bring only such things as I
would need for n visit, to New Orleans, so I
only brought a few of my dresses."
By and by she brought out, half shyly, a
jewel case where almost every article, dia
monds and sapphires, and rubies, und
pearl, were gifts lroiii the famous songstress.
.She took up a strand of pearls as big as
peas.
"This,” she said, "was the first necklace
ever given rfiy aunt, and sue gave it to me.
And this,” taking up a portbonneur brace
let of twisted gold, “she wore this a long
time herself, and gave it to me for luck.
The others are lovelv? Oh, of course, but
they were bought. These were hers.”
And little Carlina wound round and
round her wrist tho string of pearls that
hud clasped La Diva’s throat when men
had only begun to realize that she was the
queen of song.
Carlina Patti, living here with her
mother, is the daughter of the late Carlo
Patti, well known as an orchestra leader.
Heaven has not given her the voice with
which her father’s distinguished sisters are
gifted, but it has given her a most generous
aunt who will see that she is well educated
and lacks nothing this very charming young
girl may need.

SOLDIERS WHO STUDY.
Col. Bigelow Tells How War la
Learned From sSooks as Well as on
the Field.
Prom the WashinQton Star.
As stated in the Star, Col. Bigelow, ad
jutant-general of the district national
guard, delivered before the officers of the
national guard at headquarters re
cently, the first of a course of lectures on
the “Art and Science of War.” The pur
pose of the lectures, as Col. Bigelow an
nounced, is firs', to teaca his hearers their
duties as officers; and second,to interest them
in the business of war. While admitting that
ail offl er cannot; become perfectly accom
plished in those duties except through ex
perience, he maintained that war could not
be learned w.thout study. “It is,” he said,
“a great mistake in inquiring into the
secret of military success during our late
war to consider our officers as divided into
two classes—the one regularly trained, the
other altogether without trainiug—aud to
compare the success of these two classes
with each other. The latter class should be
divided into those individuals that could
train themselves and those that could not.
We would then have three classes of officers
to consider—the ready-trained, the self
trained, the un trained” Assuming such a
subdivision to bo made, I venture to say
that the great names among our volunteer
generals will be found in the second class,
and that in the third, among the creatures
of ins; i ration and luck aud political influ
ence, not a single name of good military
reputation will be found.
TUB MOST BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
“The most brilliaut success, if not the
highest order of military fame, is attained
only by means of inventions, improvements,
and innovations, which for a time at least,
are the monopoly of their auihor. The e
advantages, it is needless to say, can hardly
be attained without study, but they have
teen attained without previ ius experience.
No campaign of Napoleon’s was more brill
iant than that upon which he entered at
th age of 26, flesh from his preparatory
studies and researches at the Fi eneb war
department without ever having com
manded a brigade, a division, or an army,
and Napoleon laid it down ns a special rule
that professional stu iy in some form is the
first condition of practical success. Well
ington, at the close of bis last great cam
paign, confessed to a junior staff officer his
personal obligation to daily study. Mar
shal Turenne, the greatest of h is- great
soldiers of the age of Louis XIV, thought
that the art of war wap learned more from
books than upon battle fields, and his gr at
talents were the fruit of tue dee est study.
The Archduke Charles, who first showed
the generals of Europe that Napoleon could
be beaten, formed his reputation as astrate
gist uuon emergi g from bis study, where
he had spent many months pursuing the
theory of war, having previously served ill
three campaigns.
“The great English art critic' John Rus
kin, whose opinion on this subject, though
not that of an expert deserves at lea-t our
respectful notice as that of a close observer
and lofty thinker, in an address delivered
to the Woolwich cadets used these words,
so admirably adapted to impress his boyish
audience;
“ ‘No good soldier in his old age was ever
careless or indolent in his youth. Mary a
giddy and thoughtless boy has become a
good bishop, or a good lawyer, or a good
merchant; hut no such an one over became
a good general. There is no form of science
wnich a soldier may not at some time or
other find bearing on the business of life or
death. Never waste an instant’s time,
therefore; the sin of idleness Is a thousand
fold greater in you than in other youths,
for the fates of tnoso who will one day
be under your command hang upon your
knowledge; lost moments now will be
lost lives then, and every instant which
you carelessly take for play you buy with
blood.’
“To be sure, Von Moltke has said that
great generals, like poets, are born, not
made; but he has been himself an indefat
igable studaat, aud is reputed to be a
walking military cyclop,t lia. Gen. Sher
man in his article on the grind strategy of
the war between the states uses these words:
‘There may be such men as born generals,
but I have never enc <untered them, and
doubt the wisdom of trusting to their turn
ing up in an emergency.’
SCIENCE, ART OR TRADE}
“It was Frederick the Great who said that
war is a science for superior men. an art
for ordinary men and a trade for ignorant
men. I trust, gentlemen, that accepting
this dictum as correct, you are resolved that
to you it shall boa science. As such it will
raise your minds above the narrowing de
tails of drill aud save you from becoming a
martinet; it will guard you in time of peace
against the vices and the follies of a falsa
military ideal; in time of war it will assist
your higher nature to resist the baneful
influences of the soldier’s rough life and
horrible work, and if it does not secure to
you all the recognition and reward nidi
you may think you deserve, it can hardly
fail to win for you the houorable esteem of
your immediate superior and brother
officers, aud what is more to bo prized than
that, the loyal affection and fearless devo
tion of your men.”
The Wolf Driven from the Door.
Prom the Macon ( Ua .) Telegraph.
When Officer Garfield was on his way to
the union depot yesterday morning at 5
o’clock, and when walking briskly along
H . zel street, he beard a woman’s screams so
shrill and piercing that they almost froze
the marrow in his bones. He is not only a
good officer, but one of the kindest-hearted
men in the world, and no woman can sound
the distress alarm In his bearing.
The screams prooeede 1 apparently from
Mrs. Cave’s cluster of houses, in rear of the
factory, in what is known os the tis'i-pond
settlement. To that locality he hurried,
and at every step the screams grew louder.
Visions of murdered women and chil Iron
floated upon the murky moving air as he
went along, aud a chilling se;isa .ion began
to creep over his heart.
He found several inmates of the houses
getting out, and they directed him to one
of the houses near the alley that divides
the settlement. Finally he reuehe 1 the
alley panting and blowing, and there on
the ground attired in her night clothes and
on her knees was a nogro woman sreeiuning
at the top of her voice. Tho officer stopped
her mouth and asked her what was the
matter. She said she was happy over the
fact that the wolf that bad made life a
burden for so long a time had at lust lieen
taken from her. For year* she had been
the slave of a wolf with claws as long
as your arm; that day after day
it had hold her in tight embrace,
and • with those long, cruel cla vs
had cut into her flesh to the very Ixnie.
Now he was gone. Harrison got elected
and sent 1,000 people with torches and bells
and lots of fuss to tier bouse and took tie
wolf away and shot him. When she awoke
yesterday morning to find that the wolf
was not there to faston his sharp claws into
her flesh she was so happy that she wanted
to pray, aud the house wasn’t big enough
for a prayer that was full of gratitude, and
consequently she went out doors.
The officer left her with the opinion that
the woman was either a fit subject for tl o
asylum or the fool-killer, he did not know
which.
