Next morning the yellow Journals come out with th . screaming head line: "WHAT I THINK OP AMERICA." By Prof. J. Horace Blink W read that Prof. Blink (or Blink ski) condemns th population of America as being composed of a set of grafter and money-worshipers, he censures our lack of leisure, re ' pose and refinement, he speaks of the absence of artlstto feeling, he say we are given over to commer cialism, he deplores our lack of man ners, he crtlclses our educational In stitutions, our agrloulture, our mining, our factories, our railroads, our Ill bred youth, our government, our po lice system, our hospital facilities, our climate, our speech, our clothing, our buildings, our streets, our every thing though finally he does admit that he has seen some American wo men who are paaably good-looking. And all the time he hasn't been as far up aa CentraJ Park, as far south as Jersey City and. as far west as Long Island. 1 Just to vary , the monotony, one wonders why some original foreigner doesn't take a notion to get out of New Tork and visit some part of the country where the people are nat ural because they don't Tcnow how to be otherwise. The only comfort Is. that though New Tork may get hysterical over it. the rest of the. country doesn't give a dern what Prot J. Horace Blink thinks. "Do yon Aee the large woman In the box over there--the one with the black hat and sweeping white ostrich plumes?" said the dramatic critic. The woman he Indicated was a rather handsome matron with a somewhat ample figure, decorated with (lash ing jewels. She sat at the front of a box. surrounded by a group of younger women and two or three empty-faced young' men. It was a first night at .one of the fashionable the atres and the boxes were filled with much fuss and feathers. "Well, that la Mrs. Henry Blank." he continued, mentioning the name of a wamon who figrures largely in the society columns of the yellow papers. Her name was very familiar, the ac counts of her daughter's engagement ' to an Italian count having filled the papers for several days. "Looks like the real thing, doesn't she? Notice those glittering Jewels and expensive furs, the statuesque, haugthy pose. Gorgeous figure, hasn's she? and that complexion, isn't It a dream? Looks quite young, doesn't she? not more than 35 you'd rfay. Well, take thin pair of glasses and--take a good look at her. Not that 'long, heavy crease in her neck, reaching round to her oar. Do you catch that pufflness un der the eyes? Th masseurs and her maids have done a good job all right, hut they haven't been able to make a girl out of her quite. But she looks the part pretty well. You'd never Imagine that a few years ago she was working for $10 a week, would you? Well, If you'd like to hear It, I can tell you the life story of Mrs. Henry Blank, whom the shop girls read of In (the papers and wor ship from afar "It's been a number of years now ( since I was working aa assistant on ' the city desk - and trying to make both ends meet on a meagre news paper salary. 4 One day there came Into the office, a woman who wanted to do society on : the upper West Side for us, said sh knew the people and the neighborhood ' and could give us . some spicy blta It happened that we ' needed some One to do that work' just then, so sne-got tne job at space rates. JPYem that time on she brought her n In every .week, dances and . wedttlngs and eard parties and re-,- oeptlons. Onoe.ln'a while she stum. . bled on a choice little scandal thai - made spicy reading, and waa worth ' a separate head the kind that every body reads and the' women simply de vour. In short; she was a sort of social scevanwv Sh dJd fairly good . work, but at the most I don't think . she ever made ever, 110 a week, and .sometimes not that, much. None of : vs ever knew anything about her, and didn't care as long as she did her work, that's all we wanted to know about her. r "She broughOier stuff In quite reg- . nlarly for several months, and after Vh had handed It in, she would al ' ways hang around the city deak for .- a little chat She. would draw hr self up on a table near by and sit down with her feet dangling, while . she engaged In conversation anyone , that would talk to her. She never vouchsafed any attention to me fur- r t her than an occasional nod, but I wasn't Interested In her and cared little. But It waa easy to see ehe had her eye on Howard, th city editor. Howard teemed to posses an Irresist ible fascination for her, as he did for a great many women. iThere was something peculiar about this power Howard had for attracting women.

Mm. and ona of them had hla photo - graph mounted on a aort of altar at her home, so one of the other women toia me. it wa peculiar. pecause there waa nothing, striking about J toward, except possibly hi big form and soft, waving hair. The tunny part of It waa, Jloward had thallghtest respect for .women and .sometimes was scarcely even decent to . them. Women were a nuisance to him; he had not thoughts outside of hie work. -v "But this . woman - Would linger around him, play with the thing on hi desk,' and act real kittenish. It imply uurm ma ma out pitnuiruv and, sometimes he was so short wltn her that she .took herself off . In a huff. When she came back she would hand her copy to someone else, not paying the slightest attention to How ard and completely' Ignoring hie ex istence. However, before pbe left she would Invariably putter -.. and fuss around till first thing you knew she was hanging over Howard's desk again as usual. 's- ; '::,' i . . "Well, this kept up tor a -yetfr of more, when suddenly the lady disap peared. Several weeks, had passed before it suddenly occurred - to me that she hadn't been around lately. Howard never brought her name up, and though one of the fellows on the staff made some remark about her now , and then, we had almost tor gotten her when suddenly her engage ment to Blank was announced. He made a fortune out ef drygoods, you know, and now almply alt back raking In proflta. -You could have knocked ns over with a pin-feather. Some even declared it a hoax and rS fused to believe it was the same wo man. However, there was soon no doubt abont ' it, when the wedding took place and her picture came out In the papera However she ever met Blank and . how she roped him, I don't know and I don't think there are many people that do, but rope him and tie him ahe did. "'Well, it wasn't long till her do ings began to get into the society columns. It was evident that she was making a desperate effort to break Into the exclusive circles of the glid ed. Hhe went In fopsfaohlonble char ity, she patronized the opera ana tne no dmow. no weni w ixewpuu nu to Europe, she bought a yacht, she did everything that could attract the attention of the elect, but 'she haa never landed. She has everything that money can bay horses, sutomoblles, magnificent jewels, liveried servants, what not but she Is eating her heart out because she haa never been able to break Into society with a big 8. She Is stmply hanging on the the fringes, surrounded by a gang of so cial parasites, both male and female, and trying to make believe that she Is the real thing. Now I see that she has helped her daughter to ensnare some Dago count or other, and I suDDoae she feels that she Is a little biio i run iiikl olio . nil.. " . nearer. But she will never mane u, and I suppose she will die a defeated and disappointed woman." 0 Two things, among ethers. have given, New York cause for talk dur lng the last few days. A few days ago an elderly maiden living on Fifth avenue was offered 1610,000 for a fifty-foot lot adjoining her home. She threw up her hands In horror. "Sell that lot!" she cried. "Why. that's the only place Trlxle has to play on!" "Trlxle" is a small weezy, over-fed poodle dog, with a silver collar and a pink ribbon tied about Its neck. And then came the' Horse Show, at which appeared a young lady named Miss Oulna Moroslnl, daughter to a Wall Street banker. She cam forth thrice dally, each time attired In a new gown which gave the other wo men heart disease. ' In an interview. she announced that her clothes cost her 1200,000 a year, and then she didn't go In for anything extravagant, she said. Speaktnr of the Horse Show, th people who attended from a sense of duty seemed to 'take themselves seri ously enough, but to the casual, un prejudiced looker-on there seemed something inexpressibly comlo about It all. In the centre of the big Madison Square Garden waa an oval ring with blooded horses prancing around, a. few men seemed to be Interested In th horses, but outside the meeting waa an an encircling throng which moved alowly around th ring Inspect ing the occupants of the series of boxes about whose numbers was gathered the maglo glamor of "So ciety." Men and women they were, the women seated to tho front; the men In the rear. A more bored-iooklng set of people J It would be hard to find anywhere They 'did not seem to be looking at the horses. They did not seem to be looking at the staring crowd. They did not seem to be looking' at any thing. They were simply looking off Into vacancy. They Just sat there. That's all there wag to It. They Just sat, and sat hccaslonallv one of the men leaned ' forward and said something to one of the women, In which case she smiled, sometimes even laughed. But npt long. Sometimes It was evident that she didn't catch what the man said, j but she laughed anyhow. When someone says something to you that you don't understand, you ! always laugh. There may be no ne- ; cesslty for it. The speaker may have I made some serious statement. Ha ! may have told you that he has Junt ' hopn Informed that his dearest rela- ' tlve has just died But you are not quite sure about It And so you Just laush. That's the way the society women st the Horse Show did. When one of . . , thft men made a remark, no matter i how casual, thewoman alwaya smiled membership and pay a larger sal or laughed. Possibly they were glad J than any Pother nurcn ,n Synod, of a chance to smile or laugh May- , u u a natlve worker ,n indla. be they were afraid that If they dldn t Th. Mp. rhlir,,h. fhsrlotte. has for make some sign he would repeat his remark all over again. These were the people whose slightest movement Is heralded far and wide, and yet thero was nothing particularly remarkable about them. They looked just like folks. They looked Iff no wise oinerent rrom any body else, except that some or them were somewhat over-dressed. The women were neither better nor worse looking than the average. Some of them were decidedly homely, and though they were harnessed up to the limit and their complexion were war ranted hand-made, nature remained triumphant However, there were one or two women that were worth look ing at. When yott do see a beautiful society woman, sh la something to take your breath away. Added to the extraordinary endowment of nature, there are all the artificial aids that money can buy, and when she really uses taste In her dress end adorn ment, she Is a picture unsurpassed. Sh may took too much Ilk a toy or a hot-house flower, but viewed solely as an artlatlo production she 1 a success. More often than not, there I no expression In her face, no evi dence of thought or feeling or per sonality. But than you must remem ber that society women are warned against having thought. Thought bring wrinkles Into the face little Una about th eye and forehead so to be, beautiful you must quit thinking. ' ' '. .-v ..

Once In a while their face took on sn almost human expression. But they ware faultlessly, dressed, infinite ly, correct, and wonderfully well groomed.

They would walk up to a box, note It number, consult the catalougue, then back off. a little and stare to their heart's content. One woman walked up close to. an extraordinarily : handsome society dame, noted her name, and then delib erately drew out her lorgnette and subjected the beauty's attire to a close inspection at short range. Not a de tail escaped her. She herati at the Isklrt, and then slowly traveled up the may s ngure tin sne reached the face, where a shock awaited iter. For the society woman had stood It long enough and had leveled at the Intru sive female a pair of opera glasses, from behind which shone a pair of blazing eyes. It was too much for the InqulBltlve dame. She hastily dis mounted her lorgnette and beat a re treat The society woman was evident ly amused for a brief Instant. She smiled a little smile of triumph, then put away her glasses, and looked oft into nothingness again. , BROTHER OF ASIIEVILLE MAN.

Slayden of the San Antonio, Tvk.. congressional district, who this week Introduced In the national House of Congress a bill providing that "on or before the SOth day of June. 1807. all enlisted men of the army who are negroes or of negro descent, shall be discharged from the service of the Lunited States and thereafter no ne- gro or person of negro descent shall ,be enlisted or appointed In the army of the United States," Is a brother of William J. 81ayden, of Ashevllle, president of the Slayden-Kakes whole sale company of this city. Represen tative Slayden has been In Congress for the past 13 or 14 years and Is regarded as a strong man. He Is a sterling Democrat and comes from a district where the negro vote Is large. He was In Ashevllle recently.

It was stated, to-day that more dogs had died from poison during the past few days than for many urevlous seasons. The poison,. It Is said. Is liberally scattered In the Haw Creek, the Swannannoa and other sections of the county, and many hunters lire afraid to go afield for fear of losing their valuable dogs. A determined effort will be made to fer ret out the guilty parties and bring them to Justice. Tho official majority In favor of compulsory education asi a result of Thursday's election was 94. There were 1,331 qualified voters registered and of this number 788 voted for compulsory education. Only IS voted against the measure, but the "stay at home" vote counted against the proposition. Ilobeon Studying Hard Washington Herald. Although he will not take the seat In Congress, which he wrested, rrom the veteran. Colonel Bankhead, for a year, the Hon. Richmond Pearson Hobson has come to Washington to live, and Is devoting all of his time to studvina- the ways and duties of the national law-makers. He has thus early asked John Sharp Williams, the Democratic leader or tne House, to give him a place on the naval affairs committee In order that he may the better promote hi scheme for mak ing the United States navy bigger than the combined navies of the world. The hero of tho Merrlmao Is reso lutely 1n earnest about the idea, and delights to discuss it with anybody who Is Interested. He talks about the expenditure of billions for th In crease of tho navy with as much san- frold as other statesmen talk about securing a few thousand dollars for postofflc buildings for their districts, and seems unable to understand why anybody should think his scheme lmpractlble because of Its cost. He appears to be convinced that the United States will have to fight the world wlthn the next twenty years or so. and It is because of this conviction that he wants a navy bigger than the combined fleets of the earth. ; .

It Is true that Columbia street are In a ' disgraceful condition, and have been for many months, and We side walk In many Important residential section are In 'sad need of attention In the nature of permanent Improve ment. But it la not true that intelli gent effort Is not being made to rem edy conditions aa rapidly as the sit uation will allow. Truth is, Columbia has been growing so rap;dly that the town ha 'gotten away with the coun cil. She outgrows her clothes faster than tine official tailors can get her wardrobe reorganised. The business Interest, like the coat of living are ad vancing In leaps and Bounds, aa I th price ot real estate. The fits the local newspapers have been throwing about the condition of the streets and the sidewalk have been prompted by excellent motives, and unese stunts are haying a good effect In the town Itself. But outside of Columbia the Im pression appear to have been created that nothing is being done to remedy matters. This Is not because the lo cal newspapers have not given all the facts, but because In the grent volume of stuff that has been printed a true perspective has perhaps been lost. Tne ways and mean budget, whloh come up for action In council next Tuesday night, called for an appro priation of tSB',000 for permanent atreet Improvement and repairs, the customary appropriation being only 116,000. Th understanding In council Is that this budget will bo passed. The extra $40,000 Is to bo spent In such permanent improvement aa Belgian block pavement for lower Main street from the union station to Oreen street, and granolithic, vitri fied brick or blthullthlc paving from the State house to the pontottlce on Main street and curbing throughout the city. There are now some 60 blocks of macadamised streets in Co lumbia, and this Is to be thoroughly repaired and more laid. A rock crushing plant Is at work for this now. But It Is thought best not to ho gln laying these Improvements till the work of putting In the new $100. 000 water-works plant is completed next March, so aa to avoid tearing up some of the streets twice. MAY LAY IMITATION STONE. In Sne meeting an ordinance has been Introduced by Alderman Collins and will likely be'passed by the next meeting of the council, providing for a t pedal commission to Investigate, urn! suggest some plan for laying Imi tation stone sidewalks throughout the principal residential sections of the city. It Is likely that what Ik known as tho "Rock Hill plan." or similar plan will be adopted. On top of this the police depart ment, which has also been run too much on the plan of a country town's force, Is to bo thoroughly reorganized and enlarged and paid better, three shifts taking the place of the double platoon now pretending to protect the city. The force ,1s to be thoroughly disciplined and systematized and made effective In other ways. A white tramp, giving his name as George Edwards, and hlx home as Spartanburg, was brought here to day in a perhaps fatally burned con dition. His clothing caught fire while he was sitting or sleeping near a lit tle fire lie 'had built after the custom of tramps in the open. He was eith er too indolent, or unable to move in time to avoid serious Injury. Ho claims ine is subject to fits and fell In the Are. The Blackvllle authori ties wanted' to send him to Spartan burg, but he declined to go thero and they bought him a ticket to Co lumbia. Tho city physlUan dressed his wounds here, but the police have not yet disposed of inlm. He was ly ing put in the grass on the capltnl grounds with a morbid crowd stand ing about him the last heard from. Ho said he thought he should bn tak en to a hoslptal, when a policeman brutally told 'Mm that when he died he should have a place in tne ceme tery. An Interesting civil suit. Involving a clash between two local financial cliques, the one headed by President W. A. Clark, of the Carolina Bank, and the other lead hy President E. W. Robertson, of the National Loan and Rxchange Bank, the latter being in the ascendency now In all Important business affairs of the city, came to a pause to-day after being on trial over a week, and after the Jury had been out all night and half of to-day. The plaintiffs were Messrs. W. A.l Clark, W. H. Lylc and W. O. Chllds. part of a syndicate wfhleh controlled a large block of preferred stock in the treet car company at the time it waa sold to the Robertson coterlo, and the defendant wuh the Columbia Trust Company controlled by r.no ltobertsoij crowd and through which the street car outfit was purchased. Tine plaintiff sued for $1$. 000. which they claimed was promised them as a guarantee of deferred dlvldens on an Issue of $100,000. $89,000 of which the syndicate controlled. The trust company gained a majority In anoth er way and afterward bought the syndicate stock at the price then be ing paid for uch stock. There was, lot of talk about secret atrreomont about the $18,000, and much bitter ness engendered, the lawyers taking turns nt "roasting" each other' cli ent. The Jury brought In verdict to day of $2,878.11. The fight Is to be kent up snd of course fine lawyers will get what money Is to pass In the fray.
