j Even severe weather does not daunt the
•pirit of the society devotees. During the
last week the people attended In large
numbers the entertainments given, in
cluding the Guards' fair, which has proved
tho Mecca of society, It being visited first
or last during the evening, no mutter what
other appointments are on. On the open
ing evening of the fair, there were live
entertainments and all were well intend
ed, and the fair was crowded.
The rehearsals of the Mikado are as
frequent, but are earlier so that the fair
can have the last of the evening. Tlie

little maids, do their toddling to material
advantage and reap in the aheckela glo

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
Ilnw Unwell Osborn Went It. and
George Gould Is Not Going It.
New York Letter In Philadelphia Press.
Not many persons Were surprised when
the announcement was made this morn
ing that Howell Osborn whs dead. At
the age of 36. he closed a career that was
rapid beyond panallei, and most of which
had been, so far as rapidity of pace was
concerned, confined to th- past ten years.
Osborn gained a national notoriety as a
high-roller, and his name wits regarded
everywhere as suggesting a type of rich
New Yorkers who live solely for enjoy
ment. That was an inaccurate estimate.
Osborn was not a type, for there were
so few like him that he may he regarded
as having been unique. In fact his case Is
almost exceptional, since It has usually
happened that the sons of very rich men
have been so steady and sobered by the
possession of great wealth that they have
been able to overcome any early inclina
tion for a life of dissipat on.
Osborn was of about the same age as
George Gould, and ten oi twelve years
ago these young men were intimate. They
had thtlr boyish lares together. But
Gould became impressed with the respon
sibility as well as the power of wealth as
soon as he reached his majority, and while
he always was, and is now, fond of
sports, he subjected himself for a num
ber of years to the most rigorous disci
pline.
Yesterday Gould came back from Can
ada. He had taken a party of friends a
week ago in his special car to Quebec to
enjoy the Winter festival. The trip was
in one sense a iark, but it was a perfectly
respectable and commendable one. Gould
had his family and his friends with him.
in Quebec they look part In all of the ex
hilarating midwinter festivities, and when
he returned yesterday he said that he felt
as though he had brought Canada back
with him.
A number of his friends were Just read
ing the account of the serious illness of
Osborn when Gould entered an elevated
train, and there occurred to everyone of
these men, as they confessed afterwards,
some suggestion of the contrast between
this young tnan, one of the richest of
New Yorkers, and Osborn, who would
have been very rich had he cared to
take any standing among capitalists.
Gould was the impersonation of nervous
force, splendid vigor and abundant health.
He is plunging into sports that will cost as
much money as Osborn Used to throw
away upon some of his dissipations. His
trip to Canada was an expensive one. He
is going to allow the Vigilant to be use 1
as a sort of trainer or test yacht, that
those who are to defend tile American
cup may have the advantage of the ex
perience of sailing With her. That alone
will cost Afr. Gould probably not far front
$4,000. But his pleasures are all such as
maintain health. As he descended the ele
vated stairs yesterday he went down two
steps at a lime, and then struck off up
Cortlandt street to his office in the West
ern Union with the gait of a sprinter,
swinging his cane as though even the
vigorous exercise of walking was not suf
ficient. He had no unusual protection from
the cold, excepting a pair of very black
Astrakan gloves, and it was noticed that
his trousers were light in color and figured
by a large check made up of small ones.
He expressed the sincerest grief at heat
ing of Osborn's illness, for he knew that
the young man had, notwithstanding his
faults, man;.- likable qualities.
Osborn, when he first set out upon a gay
life, had some conspicuous associates
He was a friend of Fred Gebitart, who has
now- become a most matter-of-fact, quiet
man, enjoying apparently domestic life
more than he over enjoyed his wild whirls
of pleasure. Fred May, who was a little
older than Osborn, was also a friend, but
he has sobered, and is becoming a steady,
middle-aged man. Berry Wall, who was
never so high a roller as Osborn, has per
haps boon sobered by adversity, although
misfoDune has never been so groat as to
make it impossible for him to change his
clothing twice a day, and to have a dif
ferent suit for every business day of the
week.
Young Osborn had as fine a chance as
any young man in the city. The busi
ness which his father created Would have
passed naturally into his hands had he
cared for it. Ho knew himself well
enough that he threw away his oppor
tunities. But he was always so good
natured and so free with his money when
he had any that the tendency was to pity
him rather than to rebuke him.
Tho great fortune left by his mother
will now go to the philanthropic institu
tions which she had in mind when she
feared to bequeath that estate to the son.
As the young man would maintain his
father's memory in no worthy way, Airs.
Osborn, desiring that It should be per
petuated, caused to be erected one of the
beautiful buildings upon the Yale campus.
It w as announced that How ell Osborn had
died of grip, and that whs the Immediate
cause of his death, but he really died be
cause Ills vitality had been used up, and
for some months there had been no health
and but little strength In li.m.
“So you let Air. Clinker kiss you last
night?"
"Yes. How did you know?"
"He asked me to-day if 1 would for
give him.”—Rife.
THRONES Bl ILT ON HERRINGS.
lion the Migrations of This Little
Fish Hate Affected the History of
Nations.
Ex-Consul Daniels, in the New York Mail
and Express.
A recent report of the extraordinary
development of the Norwegian herring
trade induced me some little t.me ago to
make an Investigation Into the past his
tory of the herring fishery which may be
of interest to your readers.
In many respects this fish Is one of the
most remarkable of living things. It was
calculated three years ago that no less
than 11,000 miles of herring netting were
cast yearly in the North Sea alone.
Two of the species of w hales feed exclu
sively upon herrings, while the cod Is
a most .‘voracious foe. Dr. Neill, the
naturalist, calculated that the one col
ony of gannets at St. Kilda consumed
annually JH.uuu.OUO of herrings. Yet it is
not, as fishes go, gifted t with very large
fertility in reproduction. While the
mackerel has been estimated to produce
500.000 eggs, the sole 1,000,0(W and the cod
5,400,000, the herring is said to spawn only
wo.ooo at a time.
It spawns, it is true, both in spring and
in autumn, but it must be remembered
that it is fished at all times. It may be
’’full," that is of roe or milt, or it may
be empty or ’’shOiten ’—lt Is in both states
an article of commerce.
A salmon, at certain times, is unsal
able; a heiring lias no rest, even to repro
duce its kind. Even when young it Is
food for man, for whitebait is nothing
hut “h'-iTing-sIIP,” as it Is called on the
Yorkshire coast. By much for the crea
tnre itself.
’ me herring.” says the editor of ‘‘Btif
fon’s natural history,” "is one of those
animals which dec.de the destiny of nu
tJons." Nor, sitange as it may seem. Is
this statement exaggerated. We must re
member u.o facts winch lent 10 me hsn
cry In the middle ages an importance
which it cannot relatively possess. The
winter feeding of cattle, as now practised
in Europe, is not more than two or three
centuries old. Hence salt fish was in
undent times a staple article of diet.
The second fact was that fasting was
compulsory for centuries in Lent in all
Christian lands. Fasting meant eating of
fish. and the demand was on that account
vastly Increased. So, in the Domesday
book, herrings are mentioned as a source
of wealth, and it was even common for
toils and rents, in some places, to be paid
in herrings as a sort of currency in kind.
Thus Beecles, before the conquest, paid
a yearly rent to the Abbey of St. Ed
munds of 30,(fi0 herrings. Yarmouth was
from early times up to the fifteenth cen
tury, the great center of the trade in
England. Its great fair lasted forty days;
It was thronged by members of nearly
every nationality in Europe, and the red
herring traversed the whole continent as a
common article of diet. In 13W William de
Fortitus, Earl of Albemarle, granted to
the monks of Aleaux half an acre of land,
somewhere in East Hull or Sutton for a
storehouse for herrings and other fish, so
that the Hull herring trade is also of an
cient date.
Not. however, to dwell further on this
aspect of the subject, it Is most interest
ing to note the part the herring and its
migrations have played in the develop
ment of rations and the progress of civili
zation. At the very dawn of the middle
ages the chief maritime and commercial
interest centers in the rise of the great
confederation of the hanse towns. On the
island of the Gothland may still he seen
the majestic ruins of the on'-e powerful
city of Wlsby. Later it was Lubeek which
succeeded to power.
In the fourteenth century the confeder
acy comprised ninety of the free cities of
Germany. They had their great factory
at Novgorod. Bergen was theirs, and
the whole trade of Norway. For two cen
turies they had nearly all the trade of
London, and one t tne held the crown of
England in pawn. Now, it was on herrings
that this mighty power was built. Their
rise was contemporaneous with the choice
by the herrings of the shores of Scania,
on the southeast of Sweden, for a spav-n
--ing ground, and their trade was chiefly in
fish.
On the arms of Dubeek may still be seen
the three herrings plain on a ground of
uzure. These fishermen were proud and
powerful men. Their old proverb is worthy
of being quoted:
“Was willst begehrenmehr
Als die alte Rubsche Ehr."
Thus the herring created the Hanse
towns and the Hanse towns created the
trade of Northern Europe, as one pound
"sterling” still testifies, sterling being
short for Easterling," the common
name given to the traders of Hanse.
At length the herring became scare h>
the Baltic, and appepared in Immense
shoals in the North sea. Then arose .Am
sterdam. built, as it has beau said, “upon
herring bones," and the Hanse power
waned as the Hollanders took their place.
It was a Dutchman named Benkel who in
vented the improved method of salting the
herrings on board the broad Dutch
"busses" or yawls, similar, we may sup
pose, to the picturesque boat which a
few years back, used to be beached’ in
Filey bay.
Upward of fifteen hundred of these
Dutch "busses” of seventy or eighty tons
burden are said to have tished the seas
along the coasts of the northeast of Eng
land and Scotland in the sixteenth cen
tury. Twenty armed ships accompanied
them, and 400 dogger boats of sixty tons
were employed in taking the catch to land
The annual revenue then reaped by these
enterprising Hollanders from an industry
in which the English and Scotch were too
sluggish to compete with them was no less
than $15,(100,010.
It was In 1703 that the Dutch fishery re
ceived a fatal blow by the destruction by
the French of too of the busses in Bressay
sound, in the Shetlands. But it Is not too
much to say that the glorious page of the
history of Europe written by the Dutch
their successful struggles with Spaniard
and Frenchman and Englishman, their
maritime trade with the far east was
founded largely, perhaps chiefly, upon the
herring fishery.
Now the times have changed. Whereas
in 1774 there were two English vessels and
one Scotch among the hundreds in Bre
say sound, there are more than 1,500 B.it sh
vessels in Wick Harbour, now the chie f
British seat of the fishery.
Alueh might be said of the various types
of vessels now used along the English
shores for the purpose. The graceful Pen
zance luggers, the Boulogne boats, the
Scotch, as well as those from Yarmouth
will be seen by all who visit the Yorkshire
watering places in the autumn.
