MISS HELEN PEEL.
In these days of intrepidity a
mongst the members of the fair
sex, it requires some feat of more
thon average daring or endurance
to in a measure of fame from the
public says the London Queen.
1 It is not enough to play cricket
or golf, to bicyele, to climb moun
tains, to row, or to shoot; these
are accomplishments which are
very general of attainment and
the would be heroine warshippers
’ demand something a little more
' exclusive.
This something lias surely been
* achieved by Miss Helen Peel, who
■ has madeja voyage to the North
Pole and crystallized her impres
sions of those misty regions in de
' Isghful naive volume, entitled
“Polar Gleams; an Account, of a
• Voyage on the Yact Blencathra”
In this book the young athoress
I gives a very graphic and very nat
, ural account of the whole of her
' four months journey from the em
barking at the historical port of
Appledore through the Arctic
circle the Norwegian Fjords the
North Cape the Siberian cost the
dangerous Kara Sea to the mighty
Yenesel river.
Her companions wese Mr. F. Ley
borne Popham, Mr, and Mrs. James
and a crew of twenty four. The ob
ject of th° fxpedition, under con
tract with the Russian government,
wus to take a cargo of 1,60 q tons of
rails fur the great Siberian railway
whioh is in course of construction.
Miss Helen Peel, who is the young
est daughter of Sir Robert Peel and
granddaughter of the celebrated
stateiman of that name, had nut
had much experience of sea life until
the remarkable voyage she made in
the Blencathra. but she has al
ways had a love of adventure, and
a keen and wholesome desire to see
other lands and people, and to
learn something of their customs
and ways of living.
COACHING THE BEST MAN
“A chum of mine (young man)
is about to be married. I have i
kuowu him and the girl he is going
to marry a long time. He asked ’
me to be his best mac,
This is the first time that I am 1
to stand up for anybody and I
would like to get some points on <
what to do. Will you also be so |
kindly give me some idea what to
present the couple with? ’
Kindly let me know just what a (
best man is supposed co do. (
They are going to Washington
and have asked me to go along. <
What am I supposed to do and
what expenses should I bear?
Ignoramus.’
In answering the above the
Brooklyn Eagle says:
The be .t man is not nlwavs un
married, hut h - is usually selecta I
from a groom’s bachelor friends, and
is supposed to be as much his inti
mate as ordinary men ever choose to
have
To him is confided the route of the
weddii g j »uruey, and he secures
drawing-room seats, telegraphs for
rooms at hotels—if a hotel is in the
plan of a wedding journey ; sees that
the luggage is properly chec d
provided the groom has no valet,
accompanies him to the church
stands next to him during th? cere
mony, presents the clergymen with
Ins fee, and afterwards, if requested
by the bride’s family, sends to the
press an advertisement of the mariage
particulars for which are furnished
b>‘ them, also by the groom, when
ever bis line of decent or spacial
titles aie added to the same. Ol
course, the cost of all this is borne
by the groom, except perhaps, the
expense of tue press, which the
bride's father will choose to defray.*
A best man is’ last to leave the
church, hut at the reception later he
is at liberty to join the guests or take
a place by the maid of honor. He
goes to the railway agent or steam
er to see the bridal party off, provid
ed the distance to the place of de
parture is not too great, and then
returns to the parents of the bride to
bring back their greetings.
The best man relieves the groom
of many essential details and every
care possible at a time when a bride
groom has a right—if such right is
due any man at any time—to perfect
freedom and from every anxiety and
every duty
It is his hour of happiness, and to
be truly content tranquility of mind
is a necessity. Os course a comrade
is undeserving the name of friend;if
he is not glad to make, if possible,
this bridal day a perfect memory.
The secret— if it has been kept a
secret—of the destination nf the mar
ried t rave Here is his, and he protects
it. Indeed, nobody is likdy to ask it
of him
“OH, PAPA!” SHE CRIED
, He is a Chesterfieldian jburglar.
, Such is the general opinion con
cerning George Wilson, not in the
Tombs. He is the most gentleman
t ly and courteous thief among the
■ rogues of New York.
> He is the one who entered Mrs.
J S. H. Lehman’s flat at 118 Waver
ly place Friday evening aud help-
i ed himself to several diamonds,
• watches and money. He was caught
after a chase, and held for trial
yesterday in the Jefferson Market
> court.
i Mrs. Lehmen, in her story of
• the theft, said : “I came in from
■ driving yesterday afternoon and
I found the rear hall door locked,
i In a few moments I left to buy
some things for supper.
J “When I returned the rear hall
■ hall door was open and I thought
' my husband was at home. ‘Where
■ are you, papa?’ I called, There
I was no answer. ‘Oh, pshaw!’ I
■ said, and stamped my foot. ‘Don’t
1 try to hide from me, papa.’ Still
‘ no answer.
“I went into the next room. The
door was ajar and I pushed it. It
hit somebody. ‘Now’ come out,
. papa ; don’t hide,’ I said, and out
stepped a well dressed young man.
‘Papa will be here soon,’ he said,
bowing politely. ‘Who are you?’ I
• asked. ‘Oh that’s all right.’ he
answered smiling. ‘Papa will be
in in a minute. ’
“I thought that my husband had
come home and .brefught company
and I was so glad to think that I
had bought some huckleberry cake.
All this time the man was bovi ig
and smiling and walking easily to
wards the door.
“ ‘Who are you? What’s your
name?’ 1 asked.
“Me? Oh, my name is Jones —Jones
at your service madam. Pop‘ll be
here in a minute,” and with a smile
and a bow he walked out of the door
and down the stairs-
“As he reached the bottom, like a
fl ish it struck me that he was a bur
glar. Then I hurried aTer. As J
reached tie pavement I scream id and
tore after him. I screamed at every
step until he was caught.
Now that I‘vj got my diamonds
back I m sorry th*»t he is locked up
Just think how consider a e he was!
Why. be might have knocked me
down and injured me. Instead he
behaved like a perfect gentleman.
He lookedit, too with his diamond
ring. I‘d have given him S2OO for
it—his two-caret diamond stud and
and his magnificent watch and
chain!
Wilsons photograph has been ad
ded to the Rogue’# Gallery, and the
police think that be is a cool, clever
Wes’ern thief. He is thirty two years
old and gave h s address as 287
Eigty-ninth street, where he is
unknown.
AMERICAN WOMEN.
Henry ( lay often said that it
seemed to him that American wo
men of any class surpassed in tact
and natural good manners than
the women of any other race.
During a President! il campaign,
after he had addressed a mass meet
ing in a Kentucky town, one of the
neighboring farmers invited him
to dinner at an early date, to meet
some of the leading Whigs of the
country.
When the day arrived, Mr. Clay
rode up to the farm house, and
was surprised to see no stir of
preparation, for the hospitable
Kentuckians usually found no ban.
quet too rich for j their beloved
leader. The farmer’s wife, in a
homespun gown and white apron,
was feeding the chickens. She
turned start led,and then approach
ed him smilingly.
“It is Mr. Clay? Come in ! My
husband will be here in a moment.”
She led him directly to her clean
cheerful kitchen, and blew the
horn to summon her husband and
sons, giving them a warning look
as they entered.
“I knew.” Mr. Clay said, “there
was a blunder somewhere. But
there was ho hint ftf it in my host
ess' manner as she soon after com
posedly placed the single dish of
food on the table, and invited us
to be seated. The dish was pig’s
jowl and cabbage, and it was ex
ceedingly well cooked. I never en
joyed a meal more, or listened to
better talk. When it was over, and
we men had smoked our pipes, I
prepared to monnt my horse. The
farmer’s wife came out.
“ ‘You will dine with us tomor
row, and meet the politicians as
you promised, Mr. Clay?’ she said.
‘We are so honored and grateful
by you coming to us alone today.
“The next day a large company
of men sat down to a royal dinner
But I enjoyed the jowl and cabl
bage most. It had the flavor of
the finest hospitality. ”
