( Copyright.)
Nif York, Feb. B.—There is a little
movement in New York which may well
be watched for developments. Miss Jane
Meade Welch,a ( right, interesting and in
every way scholarly woman from Buffalo,
is about to begin a series of lectures on
American history under distinguished pat
ronage. The announcement seems eim.de,
unburdened with consequences; Lent is at
hand, and we are ail going to fight
ennui by attendance on classes of one
description and another, or by a fer
vid devotion to fashionable philanthropies.
But hear further; Miss Welch is the
especial protege of Mrs. Cleveland, who baa
brought her to the city, and who is giving
receptions in her honor, introducing her
widely and lending all the strength of her
influence to get her a bearing; who is mak
ing Miss Welch’s cause, in feet, her very
own. Does the point yet begin to sharpen
itself into distinctness before your mental
vision!
What would you lay to the suggestion of
an organized revolt against Anglomania
and a determined revival of Americanism!
Could anything be more popular, could any
aocial excitation have a more powerful
leader than be young and beautiful wife
of tbe ex-President, and is there m the
whole rauge of action any movement to
which Mrs. Cleveland could possibly lend
herself that would ao mightily iucrease her
popularity 1
This ia what Lent la to bring us if Mrs.
Cleveland carries tbe day; a breathing into
virile and vigorous life of our dormant In
terest in our own country: American his
tory is to be studied. American songs to be
sung, American fabrio to be worn, Ameri
can furniture to be sat upon literally, but
by no means figuratively. The Kuglish
language is no longer to be spoken with a
▼lie cockney accent, and American girls
are to be dissuaded against flinging their
lives and their fortunes at the feet
of real live profligate lords. The
time is ripe for just this, and the plans
h ive been laid very viotly. They
will be carried into effect with the utmost
discretion, without anything suggestive of
the blowing of trumpets or tbe marshal
ing of hosts to battle. We shall feel only
the mildest agitation, but, supposing Mrs.
Cleveland to be the gentle diplomat for
whom she is taken, we shall wake presently
to tlnd it tbe proper thing to be patriotic,
and to be proud of our birthright in the
laud of liberty. Is not this a Lent worth
looking forward to!
Mrs. Cleveland is as wise as she is fair fo
•ee. Considering tbe chances of 1892, is
it not fortunate for Mr. Cleveland that he
has a wife upon whom dawu such inspira
tions!
WOMAX’S SKIRTS AND HER FIGURE.
Mrs. Jen ness Miller and her colaborers
who have been teaching us so enthusiastic
ally grace of body and of gowns may as
well remit their exertions, for now comes
tb* latest aud most learned physiculturist
to assure us on his word of honor that the
possession of a perfect figure it well nigh,
perhaps quite impossible with a woman,
nerved by the courage that it born of des
peration, casts off skirts entirely. No use
to apeak to him of unseen, divided com
promises. Prof. Chsckley, to whose classes
nock fashionable maid and matrons, and
•whose methods there is talk of the New
York Academy of Medicine’s indorsing,
was telling me this morning that the unfelt,
unnotioed influence of long draperies is
something to which nobody has evar yet
paid adequate attention.
You can’t get t he says, a woman to turn
out her toes. WOl nun toe in or they set the
feet straight, parallel with the direotlon in
which they are walking. A woman who
toes out proper ly, that is at an angle of
sixty degrees, is many times rarer than a
white crow. The habitual turning in of the
toes cramps the pelvis and tends to knock
kneedness. and by what is it caused! By
skirt wearing, by the constant, gentle
pressure of draperies against the limbs. All
motion tends to take the direction of least
resistance, and. without the constant inter
vention of tbe will the feet are influenced
insensibly by the skirt’s touch; they form
the habit of turning away from it, so plant
ing themselves that it will not interfere
with them, that is toeing in. This is scien
tific, but as matters stand with us what can
we do except,
"Submit, submit;
'Tib common sense, sad mother wit
Can find n<> belter word than it;
Submit, submit."
DRESS AMONG THE WORKING GIRLS.
On the subject of dres, it it wonderful to
Dote wbat a change the working girls’ clubs
hare brought about in the toilets of their
members. Such wise women ns Miss Qrace
Dodge, Miss Clara Potter, aud Mrs. Mary
Storrs Haynes, the daughter of the Rev.
Dr. Storrs, who have influence in them, have
used this influence so wisely that a lady who
was a guest at a little club reception the
other evening was moved to ask of a bright
girl with whom she was talking, “Would
you think it discourteous if I were to say
something very personal?”
“Not at all,” was the smiling answer.
“Well, then, 1 have been thinking that I
never in all my social experience saw such a
well-dressed company of young women.”
“Do you mean because we don’t wear plush
and jet aud those things?”
“Yes,” this hesitatingly; “I did mean
just that.,’
The alight figure drew itself up proudly.
“No self-respecting girl would put on
tawdry ornaments; we think them vulgar.’
How far this new spirit may go was il
lustrated recently when a little outing was
arranged for a dozen club girls “laid off”
from work. They were to meet at the
Grand Central station and ride a few miles
out of town to tha residence of a lady who
had sent for them to initiate them into the
joys of tobogganing. At the appointed
Lour they were on hand in their quiet,
tasteful dresses of dark wool, aud with
them was a working girl not a club mem
ber. This unfortunate outsider wore a
pink cashmere frock, trimmed with velvet,
and the club girls refused to fraternize with
her because, as one if them put it, “if she
thought such a loud dress as that was fit for
a railroad train, she couldn’t be nioe to
know.” Poor forlorn pink oashmere re
quired the utmost efforts of her hostess to
keep her spirits from dropping to zero, for
she was shunned all day.
A NOTABLE TROUSSEAU.
Still speaking of clothes, shall I take for
granted any curiosity on your part, and is
such curiosity to be considered pard< cable,
or will It be a piece of vulgarity, pure and
simple, if I gosdp a bit about’ our richer
neighbors? Among the daintiest things in
the trousseau of Miss Shepard, the daughter
of Col. Elliott F. Shepard, and who became
Mrs. William Jay Scbieffelin on Thursday,
were the fane. Ons which euns, among
many other gifts, from the bride’s grand
mother, Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt, was a
charming old-time fancy in delicately
carved sandal-wood. Each stick was richly
inlaid with gold, and the sticks were tied to
gether at tha bottom with a gold ribbon,
crusted with small diamonds and emeralds.
The mount was yellow eld lace, worth in
itself a small fortune. There were several
old Watteau fane with wonderful paintings,
to uee which to cool the cheek, even of a
daughter of the Vanderbilts, would
approach the barbarous. The amount
of lace use! in the trousseau was
something almost unprecedented. If
the bride adds to her oollectisn she
can easily make it, before the lapse
of very many years, one of the most nota-
I ble in the country. But, however, she may
take unto herself the dignities and adorn
ments of matron bond she can never make
herself look prettier than when at one of her
little charitable entertainments no long time
ago she stood, a fair, slender girl with blue
ish gray eyes, wearing a blue silk frock
fringed with small pinkish flowers, with a
guimpe of white mull drawn up about her
throat, her only ornament a necklace of
small pearls with one huge, pear-shaped
pearl hanging in trout ns a pendant.
uniforming chaperones.
It’s very logioal when you come to think
of it. eo many are warranted in assuming
the dignities and responsibilities of chaper
ons, e only by a technicality; they are just
as young as their charges, and a thought
more giddy, bat they happen to be—mar
ried. It is well, therefore, that in opera
box or gay assemblage there should be some
outward and visible sign whereby hu
manity, or so much of it as happens to be
within gazing ditrance, may know of a
surety that such and such sweet buds and
opening blossoms have complied with the
formalities required by very consider
able sections of the flower world, and
have fair and fascinating duennas for their
guardians. No regalia can ever be adopted
formally, for there would be a strike of
chaperone* if the suggestion were made
above a whisper that ih-y be put into liv
ery; nevertheless, the matter adjusts itself
without agre< meats, without consultation;
some subtle influence working insensibly,
but making its effects manifest along the
line of the eternal fitness of things. The
Louis XV coat is what this psychic force
has brought into favor. Half the chap
erones wear it, and will you promise not to
oount it against me if Iso far forget my
self as to sav its very "swell i” I saw two
fine ones the other day at the exhibition of
George I. Seney’e pioturee. One was of a
rich dark green velvet, with deep cuffs, flap
pc ckets and waistcoat of green waits satin,
embroidered in gold. Its wearer had tbiee
pretty girls in tow, but a rival with a pur
ple velvet coat and cafe-au-lait satin waist
coat had four.
BERNHARDT AGAIN.
Bernhardt on a muddy pavement steps
like a oat. as if she were afraid of water.
One never sees her eroding her foot over a
puddle or going out of her way to avoid a
bit of snow without reprobating her in one’*
mind for giving herself—and the rest of us
fad-following women—over to snakes: her
natural pet was her first love, the feline.
The snake she wears at her throat off the
stage ia almost as realistic as the little
squirmer we expect to sue on Cleopatra’s
bosom. It is a long flexible serpen: of gold,
with warty scales set with emeralds, aud it
winds itself twice, nearly three times, about
her neck In three separate coils. Its flat
head, with great blood-red rubies for eyes,
lies against her throat peacefully, but its
pointed tails thrust viciously into'the fleeh,
as if it oarried a sting. With the e.-iake she
wears, when she receives favored collars, a
long brown robe, with a cluster of brown
and gold orchids at her bosom.
GRACE GREENWOOD ON SMALL ECONO
MIES.
One rainy morning, a few days ago, it
happened to me to surprise Grace Green
wood sewing. “Doyou,” she asked, ’’use
the need lor’ Truth foroed me to confess I
had little knowledge of its gentle mysteries.
“You are fortunate,”she said, “take good
care you don’t learn; if one becomes a busi
ness wongjpxit behooves her to know that
she can’t succeed if she fritter* away her
energies! ee too many small economies. She
mustn’t work in au office all day and then
sit up half the night to make her own
dresses; if a man earns only |5 a week he
doesn’t try to save by stitching up the
seams of bis own ooat or trousers. If he
did he would never earn any more than $5;
he puts his head into his business and
schemes to make himself more valuable;
then he buys coats and trousers with hit in
creased salary. A woman saves at the
spigot and breaks down, l’vs wasted half
my life seeing, but”—this with a reminis
sevnt smile—“l was brought up to sew and
I like it.”

The mea and women, more especially
women, who have obtained 150,000 signa

week or two. The movement against the
exile system has awakened so much interest
that Free Russia, now published in London,
is to have a New York edition. The editor
has not been selected. Mr. Kennati does
not wish the post, and the choice will fall
very probably on a Russian woman, an
exile, now living is Boston.

blushes, smilsi, weep* or swears in aooord

Fitzsimmons Likely to Hold His GrlD
fora Long Time-With Sullivan Out,
Who’s the Coming Man, C rbett,
Jackson or Slavin?—Can Jack Mc-
Au iffe Keep the Light Weight
Honors?
(Copyright.
New York, Feb. 7.— 1 have been asked
to dlscuai certain questions relating to
pugilism and especially to the men now at
the head of their several classes in that de
partment of athletics. In iports, as in most
other matters, people are not satisfied with
knowing what has already happened; they
want to know what is going to happen.
This is why some of the questions laid be
fore me deal with the future. In answer
ing, 1 have no gift of prophesy to help me
but only a long experience.
Is there a middle-weight who can wrest
the honors from Fitzsimmons! That is the
first of thequestiuns which have been pat to
me. T must answer that Ido not know any
such man. We have some clever middle
weight*, but Fitzsimmons is at least as
clever as the best of them, and he has tro
mendous natural advantages. There are a
number of fairly good heavy-weights who
are not good enough for him. Above the
waist Fitzsimmons is a heavy-weight HL
body looks solid e.nd strong. The slender
waist is not necessarily a sign of weakness.
It is by no means so in his case. His short
ribs stand out well, and he ha* good muscu
lar development in the lower part of bis
back. His big cbeet and powerful, flexible
shoulders give him the proper backing for
a bard blow. Where he saves weight is in
the legs; and the value of a big leg has been
greatly overestimated. Men who are very
heavy below the waist are almost always
slow. A slender leg, made of bone and
muscle, with good strong cords and joints,
the best for a boxer. Those who thought
that they saw Fitzsimmons’ weakness there
have discovered their mistake. He can get
along very well on the legs which nature
gave him.
After the fight at New Orleans there is
very little use in discussing the chances of
any of our middle.weights against Fitzsim
mons. If be takes good care of himself, he
ought to be able to bold the championship
for ten or a dozen years. I have heard it
said that he would be likely to increase in
weight so much as to take ’him out of the
class, but I do not think that that will hap
pen. He does not look like a man who
would gain muoh woight. He lias that sort
of nervous temperament which keeps a man
down. In my opinion he will stay in his
present class as long as be remains In the
ring, and he is likely to resign the honors
before they are taken from him.
He was too big a man for Dempsey. The
Brooklyn boy had not only hight and
reach against him, but he had weight. It
is true that when they entered the ring
there was only a difference of about three
pounds; but Fitzsimmons was a 150-pound
inan at 150, and Dempsey was a 142-pound
man at 147. Jack was no stronger for the
extra five pounds, while every ounce on the
Australian counted.
Going outside of this country, there does
not appear to be any middle-weight in Aus
tralia likely to improve enough in the next
few years to make a winnl g fight against
the champion. Pritchard, t 1 o Euglish
champion of that class, is a good man from
all accounts, but I do not tnlnk that he is
built to stand against Fitzsimmons. He
hasn’t the hight or the reach. No; the
middle-weight honors, to the best of my
view, will remain where they are for some
years to come.
Who is the coming heavy weight? There’s
an interesting question. At present we
have no champion. Sullivan has retired
from the ring. A champion must be always
ready to defend his belt. He must come
into the ring within six months after re
ceiving a challenge properly given and sup
ported. If he does nnt do so, the challenger
beooines champion by default. Ido not
think that anybody is in the position to
claim this honor from Sullivan at present.
Joe McAuliffe challenged him to a glove
contest, and Sullivan ignored the offer, but
that, in my opinion, did not give McAuliffe
any grounds for a claim to championship
honors.
Jackson challenged Sullivan lust after the
Mississippi affair, but the conditions of the
caso were such at to prevent the champion
ship from passing by default. John L.
couldn't aocept. If he had, he would have
found himself in no end of trouble down
there in Mississippi. It was unreasonable
to expect him to agree to a fight under the
circumstances.
Neither can Slavin claim on account of
his challenge to be champion of this coun
try. Iu reality, as I have said, the first
honor Is in dispute. Sullivan is the retired
champion. It cannot be said that the
honors have been taken from him; nor can
he be properly called the active defender of
the belt. This, of course, does not involve
any criticism of his present ability as a
fighter.
But the coming fight between Corbett aud
Jackson will be for the championship of
this country.
Who will win it? There is no doubt that
both are good men. In build they are
somewhat similar. They are about equal
in bight, both being very tall man—thov
stand six feet. one and a half inches, if 'I
remember rightly. Jackson has the larger
frame and is the heavier. He would fight
at something 200; Corbett at not more than
195. They have different styles of bitting.
Jackson roaohas away out and then stabs
his man; Corbett punches from the shoulder.
Both are clever, but Corbett is the cleverer.
I thiuk, however, that Jackson is under
rated by many. They say that he is slender
in the waist and weak in the lower part of
the body. There Is, perhaps, some truth in
this, but it must be remembered that a man
may have a weak spot and at the same time
know how to guard it so well that he standi
in little danger of injury. That is the way
with Jackson; it will take a good rap.ti to
get in an effective body Plow on him. That
isn’t the way in which’he will be knocked
out—if he meete with that catastrophe. The
way to knock him out is to hit him in the
head.
As to Corbett, it takes an exceptionally
good man to hit him anywhere. He is as
quick as a flash in getting out of the w ay as
well as in putting iu a blow. He has that
certainty of judgment which tells him just
how far away his opponent is. In striking
an effective blow it is the elasticity of the
muscle which counts most. It gives the
quickest blow, and speed tells. Shoot a
bullet out of a gun and it kills a man; throw
the same bullet, and it may bruise him a
little, but no more. It is "the same way
with a blow. In this matter of speed I
think Corbett has the advantage over Jack
son. I believe that he will win the fight
and the heavy-weight championship.
The best man whom the winner of that
fight will have to face, is Slavin (leaving
Sullivan out), now heavy-weight champion
of England and Australia. He is a man of
remarkable physique, and a su prising
fighter. Surprising is a good word for it,
so far as I can learn. According to all ac
counts his style of fighting is very unusual.
That was what Joe McAuliffe thought about
it. In conversation with him and with
Billy Madden, I learned some facts about
the fight in which McAuliffe was beaten.
Both Madden and McAuliffe said that Slavin
hit harder than any man they had ever seen.
I was looking at a fine picture of Slavin,
the other day, and I could see where this
power eomes from. The muscles of his
arms are smooth and round, and apparently
possessed of that flexibility which is so im
portant. He has a particularly heavy,
strong forearm, and that is a good place to
look for power. With such au arm, he
should be ablo to drive his powerful fist
through a wail. And his style, as I have
-aid, is peculiar. He comas out at a man
iu unusual ways, at unexpected moments,
aud with surprising fores.
“I didn’t kuow where I was hit or any
thing about wbat bad happened till half
au hour afterwards,” said McAuliffe,
speaking of the blow which knocked him
out. Some of his friends said that he’d
besn hit in the stcmach, but he hadn’t.
The blow which done the work struck tin
on the cheek bone. A man who oau put in
a knock-out blow there must be a bard
bitter.
Now supposing Corbett wins his fight
with Jackson and taen faces Slav in, oau
Slavin get in such a blow as the one
which used up McAuliffe! There’s the ques
tion. He can't afford to tire himself with
such work as that unlaw be is reaching his
man. The lien ter who gets tired in front
of Corbett will get whipped. Herd hitting
must find the mark it aims at or it usee up
the man who is doing it. Personally, 1 be
lieve that Corbett is too clever to get
caught that way. I believe that be is too
clever few Slavin.
I can’t help saying a word more about
Corbett. 1 have bad something to say
about legs already. Well, Corbett has the
cleverest pair I ever saw. He uses his lags
as well os be does his arms He Is a boxer
all over. He has the most deceptive feint I
ever had tha pleasure of obeerving. He
does it with bis legs, his arms, his entire
body. He draws a man on. He thinks be
sees an opening; he starts a lead; and then
all of a sudden Corbett comes at him like a
thunderbolt. And than he has a left hand
UDper, the equal of which has no place In
my recollection. A man who stop* it with
any vulnerable part of his bodv will wish
that he hadn’t. Take him all over and
through and through, he is a splendid
fighter, as well os a good fellow.
Passing from the heavy men
to the light weights, we' come,
of course, to Jack McAuliffe, the
present champion. He is a heavy man
for his class, which limits a fighter to 133
pounds weights. Jack can fight at 157 to
149 pounds aud nut have an ounce to much
on him. He is a second Sullivan in build,
round, and thick and compactly made.
When he strips down for w u rk the more
clothes he takes off the bigger be looks.
Out of training he weighs close to 100.
Borne day he may make a mistake by get
ting a match in the light weight class.
But he’s a shrewd fellow and is looking out
for the conditions very carefully. His
match with Billy Myers does not compel
him to come down to the light-weight limit.
I don’t thiuk that Myers can win. He cao
fight easily at 133, but he was anxious to
get a match on with McAuliffe, and didn’t
let the conditions stand in the way, He
isn’t so good a “two-handed man" as
McAuliffe. He depends too much on bis
right, and goes in to knock his man out.
That is a dangerous way to fight, and it
won’t do against a clever man.
McAuliffe can be compelled to fight at 133
by any man who is really after the light
weight championship, and I am willing to
express my opinion irankly that at that
weight Jimmy Carroll is a better man, be
cause Carroll will be strong at that weight
ana McAuliffe will not. Of course, Jack
would get down if it killed him. The re
sult wouldn’t be so serious as that, but it
would be a big strain. Carroll, however, I
think is out of the ring. Not that he is too
old to fight; be is 38, but well preserved, for
he has never injured himself by any sort of
dissipation. He is in every way able to
make a fight, but I think he will be wise
enough not to go hack to the ring. There
is no need of it. He has a chance to make
“easy money” with Fitzsimmons, and
I guess he will devote himself to the inter
ests of their tour of exhibition.
Leaving him out of consideration, I think
that Andy Bowen, the New Orleans boy, is
the next best to McAuliffe and very likely
the coming champion. There has been some
talk of matching them, but it has not re
sulted in anything. Andy is now matched
with Austin Gibbons. Bowen is young,
very strong and an uncommonly hard hit
ter. He has a fourteen inch biceps, and is
built strongly throughout. If he were
taller it might be better for bis chances,
perhaps. He Is short, and a little bow
legged—rather on the Sayres style. At a
boxer his chief fault is that be has too much
faith in swinging blows: but William M.
Davis, the old time California champion, has
got hold of him, and believes that bo can
teach Andy the error of his ways. 1 rather
think he will suoceed and shouldn’t be sur
prised to see Andy at the top of the heap
before long.
Speaking of McAuliffe's weight reminds
me to say that I think the light weight class
ought to run up to 140. As it is now a 140-
pound man can’t hope to have much show
with a good big middle weight There is
usually a wide difference between a 150-
pouud and a 140-pound man, and there are
a good many tall, strong fellows who can
fet down to within the 158-pound limit.
here are too big odds against the 140-pound
man, as the classes now stand. I shouldn’t
be much surprised if they were changed be
fore long in the way I have spoken of here.

tended Bride.
JVom the New York World.
Pittsburo, Feb. 4.—Walter Eaton, who
Is said to be a dry goods merchant of New
York, and Miss Maud Lilllentbal of Yonk
ers, on the Hudson, are the leading actors in
what may be called a comedy, since all's
well that ends well. Some time since the
young people met and loved. At first, so
it is related, the mother of the young lady
gave her sanction, only withdrawing it
later when an old man with millions en
tered the lists as a suitor. The daughter,
however, refused to oonsider the proposed
change of lovers. The mother brought her
to Sewickley for a visit about ten days ago,
aud has since been staying with a friend,
Mrs. McMillan of Edgeworth.
Mr. Eaton obtained a hint of his lady
love’s whereabouts and followed them to
Pittsburg, and finally to Sewickley, where
he has been for the past week endeavoring
to communicate with her, but it was not
uutil Monday he was successful. By the
aid of VVill Drynan, a young plumber' who
was doing some work in the McMillan
house, a note was finally delivered to the
youug lady, making an appointment for
that afternoon. Unfortunately for the
course of true love, the mother observed her
daughter’s departure and followed her to the
try-ting place in a meadow that slopes
gently away, from Quaker avenue, just be
