6 ROUND ABOUT GOTHAM. THB LATEST GOSSIP FROM THE gbsat metropolis. Martin Mar Be President of the Fed oration of Labor - Koyal Visitors From Russia— Bifj Foes to Physi cians-Professional Deadheads. (Copyright.) >'gw York, April 5. -During the coming summer New York will have the felicity of entertaining two very distinguished visitors from the czar's dominions—the czarowit* and Prince George. The young princes, after spending a week or two in the me tropolis, will make a tour of the west, taki ;g In on their trip a glimpse of the Yellowstone park and a ride across the Rockies to the Golden Gate. Both are fine looking young fellows, and as heirs pros pective to the throne of the greatest of European powers, they will be the recipients of marked attentions, both social and official during their stay. The Grand Duke Nicholas is 21 years of When a year old, he was betrothed to t tie Princess Maud of TV ales, the youngest of the three ■ laugtiters of the British heir-apparent. The future czarevna is an exceedingly pretty, accomplished, and amiable girl, and iR said to be the l<eauty of the family. Unless, meanwhile, strained relations bet ween the two empires should can e the breaking off of the match, the nuptials will probably b celebrated in St Petersburg with the p Jinp that always attends royal unions In Rums some time next winter. The czarowitz, who, in the order ot suc cession, wili ascend the throne of the Romanoffs as Nicholas It., is a i officer in the Russian army, while Prince Georgs*, his 17-year-old brother and the second son of the present emperor, is attached to the im perial navy. Both the royal youngsters are sure to be made much of bv New York society, which went almost wild over its lost n yal llus iau visitor, the Grand Duke Alexis. Both are said to bo very proper young gentlemen, however, and it is not at all likely that either will duplicate the er ratic experience of the tall aid handsome, blonde-whiskered grand uuko during his Americans journ. Bid FEES TO PHYSICIANS. What is believed to be the largest foe ever paid to a physician in a single case was paid by J. M. Flagler, one of the Standard Oil kings, to Dr. G. C. Sheldon. , A dearly beloved daughter of Mr. Flagler, who afterward died while cruising on a yacht in southern waters about a year ago, "was lingering between life and death. There was not more than two or three chances out of lUO that she would ever be able to leave her bed alive. The devoted frther announced that, if Dr. Sheldon could relieve the suffei ing of bis child and aid her m recovering he would give him the largest fee th it was ever paid a physician. Miss Flagler rallied, and Q :ally was able to leave her bed. and in the course of time was suffi ciently strong to drive out. The young heiress to several millions lived to enjoy her great wealth for a long time after this, and Dr. Sheldon was presented with #250,000 worth of stock in the Standard Oil Company. Dr. IV. H. White, who is the family phy sician of the Vanderbilt family, is another of toe highly fortunate of our medical men. The money in fees that he has received from this family aline would make him iu dependont. Dr. White has been presented from time to time with blocks of Vanderbilt securities as an evidence of the millionaire’s regard for his medical skill. Thus is the doctor enabled to indulge his hobby of buy ing;tbe most valuable kind of fur.-. Dr. John P. Munn, who is engaged to look after the health of Jay Gould and his family, is another fortunate physician. -Mr. Gould is a great man for consulting a doctor on the slightest provocation, and some of his friends wonder that he is alive, because ho takes so much medicine. I could not learn that Mr. Gould ever paid any extraordinary foe, like Mr. Flagler, but a gentleman who saw a check fr im Mr. Gould to his physician said it was for SIO,OOO, audit was drawn shortly niter the death of Mrs. Gould. Mr. Gouhi’s};business associate, Russell Sage, I hear pays his physician by the year, ami Mr. Sago makes sure that his doctor earns his salary. Dr.Fjrdyce Barker is the medical attend ant of the Astor family, and the fees he re ceives from them alone could be divided by two and then considered a handsome in come for n first-class doctor in a small citv. John Jacob Astor, many years ago, had an operation performed by the late Dr. Agnew in return for which he presented his cneck for SIO,OOO. Judge Henry Hilton, who has the reputa tion of being the most liberal giver or any of Gotham’s millionaires, presented hu physician wi:h a valuable house and lot o.i one of the fashionable thoroughfares. Col. Robert G. Ingeraoll makes a confi dant of his physician. When the colonel’s daughter was recently married to million aire Dr. Thomas Robertson, the Ingeraoll family doctor was the only person outside the members of the family at the wodding. PROFESSIONAL DEADHE ADS. When crusty old John Duff ruled the des tinies of a theater iu this town there was one rule that ho followed strictly. He never permitted a theatrical deadhead to enter his house on a first night. He did this after some years of experience and it was a reso lution borne of good resuls. Ha main tained that a jay actor or a soubrette who had astonished the residents of Cohoes by playing “Pauline” m a barn storming company was not the sort of per son to hold down one of bis orcherata chairs. Of course, he incurred the emnity of the profession. Now that he is dead and gone it ts not too much to say that he had more en emies than any other man in the theatrical business, but he bad a good many friends as well, and, altogether, he was a very jolly fellow. Thaijhe is no longer questioned. Iu fact, there is some taik among theatri cal managers of abolishing the professional free list on first nights. Managers have come to Mr. Duff's wav of thinking, that ixi irly educated aud badly trained actors and actresses can, by their conversation, their looks and t heir actions in the theater and in the lobby, do a great deal to damn a play. Only this week, upon the occasion of the first production of anew play at an uptown theater, at least twenty members of the theatrical profes sion woo were present talked so loud as to be heard all over the house and commented so unfavorably upon the text of the play and the work of "the performer* that it was very embarrassing to all. The dear public is so easily led that the comment of an actor or ah actress in the lobby during or after the play might do immeasurable harm. _ The fushionable world is hurrying from Gotham t > the continent. The ladies of the Vanderbilt family and scores of others have already departed, and now the Rrad ley-Mariins are to follow. It is the gossip of the clubs and cafes that the Martins are to outdo themselves la Europe this season. 1 hey haveinvitod a large number of Amer icans to spend a few weeks with them at their home in Scotland. There will be other visitors from England and France, and the "hole party will probably number 200 guests, lhey will be entertained, of cour • ■ in the most lavish style, bur Mrs. Martin can haidl.v hope to make sueh a .other sen sation as she did by her great ball and di i ner here just previous to Le t. Mrs. Martin expressed surprise that the news, apers should exaggerate the imp .rt n ltml The Asters and Va;- derndts are the the best entertainers in town, but while lavish in the ex o ditu-e aLr °bf ey ii r r ae , vel ; "hAsteful.

It is a stage of civilization j that he has not reached. Apropos of social matters, while Lent i ostensibly engages the attention of all, it j does not entirely Jo so.

She has i had a bard winter of it, Ouuc.ng all night ■ and Jriuking all Boris of wines and ! teas at uussas unable hours, so that i bow she is devoting some time to i recuperating her health. The park is filled with horseback riders, gay young women who can take a fence ns deftly as a member of the Meadow Brook hunt, and the women’s gymnasiums, notably the Berkely Lyceum, are filled daily with women, young and old, trying to reduce their flesh, erase the wrinkles from their faces or bring back the blush of the roses to their checks. Quite a number of informal dinners and teas are given, and now and then a dance, bur there are no big affairs. These will 1 come at Raster-tide, when the marriage bells will ring for the fortunate “fishers of men." GEORGIA PRESS ASSOCIATION. Resolutions of Thanks. 221 Annual Meeting, 1890.

Chief Justice Paxsou, at the dinner given by tile Clover Club of Philadelphia, Thurs day evening, Aldvch SO, to Charles Emory Smith, the new Unitad States minister to Russia, gave the members a genuine sur prise in his speech when, aft r wishing the new minister godspeed, tie unfolded a page of civil war history by relating some de tails about the saio of Alaska by the Rus sian government to the United States. “The United States paid $7,000,000 in gold for this then regarded worthless ami barren country.” said Judge Paxs m, “hut we did not know w hat was involved in the sale of what has since proved a treasure. We were struggling in the throes of civil war and the governments of England and France were b-dng moved by every influ ence to recognize the confederacy, lho acquisition of Alaska meant much to the government. When that sale was cun ldeted and the storms of indignation that followed Secretary Seward when he paid $7,000,000 in gold for that frigid country, ail through Europe was heard the ominous growl of the Russian Ixar, which said plainer than worn? to durance and E ig iand, ‘Hand* off, or we will inter fere and make this a world-wide struggle. ’ How many Knew what deep import was vested in the appearance of an ontire squad ron of Rus.iau gunboat* in our harbor? Rut •Seward did. It meant this: The admiral of that squadron was in posession of sealed orders, His orders from the Russian gov ernment were to remain where he was until this great Question that was agitating France mid England was settled. U|>on the instant the conie.deracy was recognized by those European {towers the s als were to be broken, aud his orders were to report for in structions in person to President Lincoln. T tint was toe depth of the import embodied in the acquisition of Alaska to the United States. ” The average vei.ooitv of the wind at the summit of the Eiffel tower is three times that recorded by the instruments at the meteoro logical station, which is sixty feet above the earth.
