Bpoeial Correspondent,
Nbw York, Dec. 6.— They tell a story
of Wright Sanford which speaks elo
quently of the discernment in matters
social. An intimate of the late genial
clnbman had a niece, a shy, pretty girl
from the country, whom he wished to in
duct into the place that might have been
filled by a daughter, and whom he took
much pleasure in escorting to her first
swell hall.
“No use,” said Sanford. “She don t
like this sort of thing. Better send her
home.”
“How do you know ?” asked the fond
wncle. “She looks as if she were having a
good time.”
“Good time?” rejoined Sanford.
“Good time? Look at her fan.”
The white airy plume in question to the
keen eyes of the society man, who could
read its language, told a tale.
Now it quivered with timidity, now it
jerked to and fro with the short, uneasy
motions of embarrassment, now it brought
itself up with a sharp turn bewildered,
and now it recovered itself and waved
with conscious composure, waiting with
patience for the evening among strangers
to be done. The timid maid, adrift ip a
new world, controlled her face to spiling
enjoyment, but her fan spoke plainly to
the one person present who had the key.
Three months later Sanford and the uncle
were standing together at a second hall.
“Clever girl. Harmonised wjth her en-
vironment, hasn’t she?” Again the uncle
hardly kuew what the clnbman was talk-
ing about, and again the diagnosis was
based solely on the behavior of the fan.
It had forgotten all about it« mistress and
was playing a drama of its own where all
Hie narts were taken by the pretty flutter-
ings of youth and high spirits in the at
mosphere of mnsic and gayety in which
they unfolded their wings. Sanford had
never spoken to the girl and had seen her
but twice, bnt two glances at her fan had
told him ner tocial history,
- ,'fl.
ARMED FOR CONQUEST,
The fan has never meant to us what it
does to the women of more vivacious
climes. IVe have never learned properly
to handio it, but this winter we are taking
lessons with a will. The fan, discarded
from the furnishing point of view, has re
sumed with the Pompadour fashions its
original vocation. Jts jeweled sticks of
ivery or mother of-pesrl nestle in fair
fingers, the paintings on its parchment
leaves are of exnuisite workmanship, the
ribbon loops which hang to the. arm or
the golden chain which fastens it to the
w.ist give occasion for hitherto unimag-
ined forms of dress decoration. To twirl
it, to close it, to spread it, to let it rise or
fall, to say with it come here, go away, I
am charmed, you flatter me, you arc rude;
to ctrry on a conversation with one
are not, however, in future to monopolise
the field. The newest feather fans dis
played by leading jewelers uliow an odd
mottled efleet, black flecked with white or
gray, white flecked with black, crimson
and white and other mixtures. Many
costly fans are seen with the component
plumes alternating in color, a pure white
feather next one of pink or blue, a black
feather next, cardinal. These striped fans
lake less well than those showing different
tints of the same or harmonious colors, as
where soft straw-tinted tips deepen into
yellow and rich brown next the qqiils. _ In
colored fans of a single hue there is a
vivid terra cotta which lights up famously
and promises to be the novelty of the sea
son.
The handles for ostrich fans are as
varied as the suitable materials. Ivory
richly carved in open work patterns
responds to the Pompadour erase. Tortoise
shell is used often and oftenest of all the
beautiful, opalescent mother-of-pearl.
Ivory and lacquer, marvelously fine like
frostwork, makes an exquisite framework;
so doe* Chinese enamel and so do silver
medallions set with rough pearls. _ There
is no limit to the extremes to which fan
extiavagance can go. A handle of gold
enamelled with a half moon of mother of
pearl, within that another .half moon
sparkling with diamonds .is a .design
recently carried out for a holiday gift to a
soziety dame.
Shapes for feather fans do not greatly
vary. The regulation semi-circle is dis
appearing. Its place is taken by a higher
curve with the semblance of extreme
novelty given by the tricks of ornament
nlayed by the ribbon bows, the bunches of
tips, the feather flowers and the aigrettes
added by way sf pannache to relieve the
flat surface on either side. The non-fold
ing fans in lyre, Tuxedo and other familiar
shapes hold their ground.
A LOUIS QUISLE PAN.
Upstairs in grandmother’*, iron-bound
box, where it nas lain undisturbed for
forty years, lies a fan. Its leaves are nar
row and either of kid or canvas painted
with shepherds and shepherdesses disport
ing themselves in an Arcadian landscape.
It is a largo fan and at the top of one of
the sticks is insertsd a small oval gold-
rimmed mirror. Now is the time to bring
that old Jan down. The older styles have
come in and great is their glory. There
are dainty fans modelled on the Empire
fashions in the stores. The newest of
these ate made of gauze with inch-wide
gauze ribbons or lisse bands running across
in rows, each row being painted with a
vine pattern in tfjwers or with
cherubs’ heads or tome scrollwork
notion. They are very pretty, often in
exquisite taste and net dear, hut there is
not one of them which can compare with
the genuine Louis Quinze fans in thoee
fvmmm old Verms Martin monnts which
time has not robbed of their lustre, and
which are now beiDg unearthed rapturous
ly from the old bric-a-brac shops and auc
tion rooms. Some of them have monnts
of nothing more substantial than paper,
others are of silk vellum, all are marvell
ously painted with the smiling, simpering
Marquess®, the powder and patches, the
minute and delicate art, the graceful pret
tiness of that pleasure-loving era. The
simpler of the antiques and the more
numerous imitations of the nntioque are
Indies in pink—the soft pink and the blue
.and the white of Dresden china landscapes.
The more elaborate and richer are wonders
of gilt.
The French have always been fan artists.
They are sending ns just now most fanci-
ful concoctions in gauze and lace. Ono of
their freshest ideas is the application of
mother-of-pearl in flakes of microscopic
thinness to bring out the colors of a win
ter landscape in a black and white sketch
or a piece of embroidery on a ganze fan.
Exquisitely tinted gauzes are cut to the
shape of rose petals or apple blossoms and
mounted on sticks of mother-of-pearl. Tho
lace fan very commonly is la.ee only to its
adorer, while the fan is holding piquant
talk with another, to make it express
every thought, every ripple of feeling, to
he all things to all men. and something
«’te to every woman—this is the newly re
vived school of the fan, in which we are
beginning to study somo very old lessons
It is the revival of the ostrich feather
which has contributed to the rejuven
escence of the fan. Not in ten years have
the regal plumes had the vogue on which
they are entering now. We load our hats
with them, we wind them about onr necks
in long feather boas, we cover our even
ing gowns with them, makiug them take
the place of flowers on the uncovered
neck and the white arms, we put the long
est and most beautiful ones we can find
intd plumy fans. Fang move in two
directions. There are not many in th?
market of last year’s medium si{ . Yew
fans are v.ry large or t t, CT .

fant*- , b * b *ra er * he ofc,rlch
mftTv it is esteemed, a.I says pro
vided the feathers of which it is composed
— are natural plumes, not joined or “made.”
A fan of pieced feathers is never worth
the having. An honest feather fan is not
one to be ashamed of, however tiny, and jl
grows in durability as it plumes grow in
middle, the filmy pattern being set. in a
frame of gauze painted with cupids or
flights of birds. The gauze fan as now
seen mikes a point of showing its sticks,
which are worth the display, as promi
nently at possible, each one exquisitely
carved or inlaid, running through the
mount to the very edge. The painted
gauze fan ranges this winter from the aim-
WHAT THEY WILL HO.
An Outline of Legislation at
This Session.
THi: HOOSIKU POKr.
THE ALLISON BILL TO BE PRESSED.
The Hon*© to Pnt Through the Appropria
tion Bllle Without Delay—Tli« Direct
Tax Refunding Bill— PilibiiM-
terlng in the Bohse.
Washington, Dec. 4.—[Special.]—The
busiuesa to be done by congress thin session
was pretty well outlined by the leaders in
both houses today. The republicans in the
Senate rather astonished the democrats by
keeping the promises Allison made by bring
ing forward the tarifl bill, with the announce
ment that they proposed to put it through
the Senate, without further speech-making,
before tbe holiday recess. To do this they
shunted the Union Pacific (Outhwuite) bill,
which was a special older for today, and all
other business. The democrats were so sur
prised that tiny did not have the -smend-
men's they are going top opose ready, and so
Ur. Vance, having failed to get the bill
rerd in full to consume the time had to ask
a postponement until tomorrow.
The House democrats, except Mrs-rs.
l’.auuall and Sowdeu, are fully united.
Chairman Mills says,it is the purpose to stand
by the Mills bill and to non-concur in the
action of the Senate, should it substi
tute the Allison bill for it.
#THK APPROI'RIATION BILLR.
The House democrats are determined to
make the appropriation bills the business of
the session. They propose to put them
right through so that President Harrison, if
he calls au extra session of the next con
gress, cannot charge the responsibility of it
to the neglect of the House. When the
House is not considering appropriation
bills the democrats will permit the consider
ation of the hills enabling the admission of
Dakota (as a whole), Alontuu, WhsIuhliP'm
and New Mexico and the lull creating a ter
ritorial form of government for Oklahoma.
The fotmer will probably pass the House
and then the Senate will amend it by divid
ing Dakota anil striking out New Me-!:e
Then some compromise may be arranged in
conference. The republicans would i ro-:a-
b'y concede New Mexico if the democrats
would concede the division of Dakota.
Toe Chace international copyright bill
may p;t-.s ia the House.
BILLS THAT WILL FAIL.
In the opinion of a democratic member of the
committee on rules, neither the Union Pacific
refunding bill nor the Blair educational bill,
nor any other important bill, will get
through at this session. “Tile appropria-
♦ lean l»illa n fits unirl "aro flip nnlv nnt c m-r.
tion bills,” he said, “are the only ones cer
tain to bccot e laws.” He added that the
democrats felt bound on their honor to per
mit a vote ou the Senate direct tax bill. He
thought that it would pass the Senate, and
that the President would promptly veto it.
A KITOUKN FIOI1F
week V
VVt tell lteaolted In ii Cook Recalling n
Probable Fatal Wound.
Two serious carving affaiis h
ettrred between negroes within a
time.
The first was on Sunday morning when
Essex Dean, in a fit of jealousy slashed his
sick wife in tbe abdomen with his knits 1
and fled. The other occurred in tfte
kitchen at the Southern Hotel yesterd y
morning about 7 :30 o’clock.
The particular, as far as can helearned,
are that Seymore Malone, about 16 years
old is a waiter at the hotel, while Bryant
Douglass is a cook. Yesterday moruiug
Malone went into the kitchen after fried
potatoes for a boarder’s breakfast, and
Douglass told him to wait ami pet warm
•nes as those ho wanted to carry away
were cold. This brought on words be
tween the two when Douglass slapped
Malone in Ihe face, striking him two
Wows. Malone thsn plnnged a knife into
Douglass’ ahdlinen and again another
blow. He then fled. Douglass felt
his entrails protruding fruit
the wound and placing his hands upou his
abdomen went into tbeoflice and informed
Mr. Wiley Jones, tho proprietor, of
what baa occurred in the kitchen,
lie then went oat and fell.
Officer Kay responded to the call for a
policeman, and placing Douglass in a hack
carried him to the city hall to be loud
•iter by Dr. Walker, the city physician.
It was then found necessary to send
Douglass to tho Kofi Home where he could
receive constant medical attention. It is
thought his wound will prove fatal.
Nothing has been heard of Malone, who
is probably hiding out to await the result
of liis carving,
coLouirr Conor huLAted.
It is within the power of art to command,
extraordinary prices having been paid in
seme instances to secure the touch of a
famous brush.
Fan collecti&g \ h becoming more and

gle collection of fans now ia New York
equal to that which was owned by Mrs.
iiktor, and which was rich especially in
Louis XV specimens. Mrs. t-eligman hes
several belonging to the same epoch, and
many beautiful ones are owned by the
Vanderbilt women. Mrs. Whitclaw Reid
has one of the most exquisite fans in the
city, made of white silk, embroidered in
colors and ornamented with small pearls.

Whlloomb lluei'a Views on Ameri-
ci*u Poetry.
Ft- . 'lie New York Mail and jCxprcss.
J-un.;. Whitcomb Kiley, the Hoosier
poet, is becoming a familiar figure on
Broadway. He sat in the reading room of
a Broadway hotel the other evening, pe
rusing a newspaper. His well-built and
robust form was enveloped in a large over
coat, and his head was decorated with a
pocket cigar felt hat. It careened like a
schooner shipping a wave over his high
forehead ami gave a picturesque appear
ance to tlie bard. Mr. Riley does not be
lieve in long cavalier locks, and deprecates
any affectations of dress. His hair is what
is known as a hrindle sorrel in color and
is cropped so iliort that the phrenological
bumps on his head are almost sb conspicu
ous ns wax figures in a museum. His
nose is poetical in its classic profile, and
belongs to the Roman school. His blue
eycB light up with merriment when he is
relating anything in his inimi able hu
morous style. In addition to writing
postry, Mr. Riley lectures and reads pub
licly, and as he chatted ho prepared him
self for the platform.
“What is your idea about lecturing? Is
it becoming a lost art?”
“No, I do not think it is, though when
I see a slim audience before me I grow
skeptical. For several seasons I have not
been skeptical. 1 find as a rule that peo
ple would rather be entertained than in
structed in something profound enough to
require a mental efiort. Laughter is some
times as wholesome as knowledge, and
often instruction can bemixedwith amuse
ment. The lecturer, like the laborer—and
he is a laborer—should he worthy of his
‘gale receipts,’ i. e., give a quid pro quo to
liis auditors for any deprivations they may
have experienced in coming to hear' him.
As long as humor is extant, and as long
as men can eultHaiti, the lecturer will he
heard in the land and not lag superfluous
on the platform. To quicken minds to
action, to show their humorous portrayals
of human nature, is to educate and lift
up."
“Is it true, Mr. Riley, that the teacher
whom you imitate in your rendition of
‘The Educator’ reptesents some ono in real
life?”
“No; he represents the general rather
than an individual type, and few audi
ences fail to rcc gnizo it immediately.
He is to bo met with everywhere, in out-
of-the-way places, in Small towns and
large cities. Ho is a picturesque donkey,
and none enjoy his caricature more than
the teachers. Why, the success of humor
consists in drawing characters that are
familiar i.nd do not require a long
psychological analysis with charts to ex
plain.”
“Which ono of your poems do yon
recite moit frequently—the one entitled
‘When the Frost is on the Fnmpkin and
the Fodder’s in the Shock?”’
“Yes, that 6cems a general favorite.
There is something peculiar about the
poem from the fact tnat no one ever cor
rectly quotes the line, ‘When the frost is
on the pumpkin anil the fodder's in the
eho-k.’ Tito mest familiar misquotation
■s ‘and Ihe fodder’s on the ground.’ It has
s homely but natural touch about it that,
I presume, reaches the audience, In the
joem an old farmer is made to tall in it's
veryday language, and the language used
is not a dialect invented by me, but just
what I have heard front the lipsof farmers
as I met them ia the fields or at their
homes.”

Washington, Dec. 4.—[Special.]--
W'aen Senator Colquitt appeared in the
Senate chamber this morning, he was at
once surrounded by biscoHeitgilit anxious
to offer their congratulations to him upon
his re-election. He was kept busy in this
agreeable way until the Senate adjourned.
Some of them had not heard of tbe at
tempt to create opposition to his re-elec
tion. Those who had could hardly credit
the report. AH agreed that the reported
attempt was utterly unwarrantable by
democrats. However, they congratulated
Gen. Colquitt the more heartily for it.
Some of the democratic leaders afterwards
sent their congratulations to Georgia
through your correspondent.

DxSBOrr, Mich., Dzc. 4—Mrs. Frances
Ann RsbetCfi Todd, ilvin. four miles
southwest of Novi, is supposed to he the
oldest woman living. Sho was born Dec.
2#, 1769, and is of Norwegian do cent. Her
lather, Simon Todd, was for many years
an officer in the Norwegian army, and won
honors in the battles of the Knfne in 1774.
After her parents’ death she was brought
to America. She married Slocum Filermax
in 1800 and boro eight children, five hoys
and three girls. He died tome time after
the war of 1812. Finding Jhcr«e!f
the mother of so large a family,
site decided to remarry. Her second
husband's same was Somerville, of
Schenectady, N. Y. Their married life
was not;haj'ipy,and iu 1816 she wMgranted
a divorce. Bhe ad-led foot more children
to iter family by tills marriage, outt girl
and three boys. Site acquired a small
piece of land from the government iu 1830
through tlieaid of friends, and icr eight
years she gained a livelihood fur iur.-cH
and family. She u-ed to make “wee-no-
Jm-usUn” baskets, and carry them forty-
six miles on her back to Buffalo, where
site sold them at fair prices. Her expo-
rienco in tho wilds of New York would
till a volume. Indians were plundering
the country, and more th.O once bhe
aimed the fatal rifle at the red man. In
1837 she again married, at d none other
Ilian the famous -'Buckskin Joe, 1 He
died six years later, leaving the widow
with three more children to cure for. ^he
loss of the third liushand did not dlicour-
*se her. She fina ly removed to her tins-
4Nt farm of three acres, where she has been
t-foce 1844.
She claims to have walked to Detroit
and back fifty-seven limes before wsguns
could ba run. She has a very tender wav
of telling her life, and tears flow copi
ously down her care and time-worn cheeks.
She 'han hoped that Mr. Cleveland would
be the next President, as the h-lieved she
would receivo u large amount of back pen
sion money. She chews and smokes, hut
never drank a drop of liquor except onre,
after she had lain in a snow bank six
days, and when found was nearly dead.
Mrs. Todd is quite feeble and can’t live
much longer.
