WARD M'ALLISTER. An English View of the Late Leader of Net York Upperdom. McAllister may be "said to have discovered New- York society not that there was no society in New York before he appeared npon the scone, forof course there was, just as there was "a dark continent" be fore Stanley plunged into its fast nesses. There has always been so ciety in New York, and good sooiety too, even in the days -when Peter Stuyvesant hobbled about on his wooden leg and "ladyes f aire" prom enaded the Battery front, where now in the cool of the summer evenings the tramp regales himself by sniffing the salty breezes that blow in from the Narrows. ButT-when MoAllister made up his mind to write his name on history' page the rich people of New York had a great deal to learn. There was money in abundance, but tact, refinement and diplomacy were lack ing, and the art of gossiping over the teacup was to be taught anew. McAllister set about his life's task with the ardor of a Crusader. In New York he was at once the best liked man and the best hated man. He "was liked by those whom he had smiled upon and hated by those whom he had not helped into promi nence. McAllister undoubtedly dated his social leadership from the time he instituted his famous picnics, which for a quarter of a. century were ttfe features .of Newport summer .life. These picnics were given on nis farm, where the daintiest" creations of the culinary artist were set before the swells of the seaside city. His guests traveled by stagecoach or carriage from Newport to the farm, and the breakfasts and luncheons provided by McAllister were the finest that money and good judg ment could secure. The picnics never lost their pres tige, despite the colossal balls and monumental dinners which now dwarf all ordinary entertainments at Newport. McA Uister never made the mistake of mixing up his guests. He was accused of exclusiveness, but he defended himself by saying thatfhe was simply carrying out he views and sentiments of the constituency which he voluntarily served. In his famous definitions of the Four Hun dred people have come to see that he was right from this point of view, and he was respected for having the courage of his opinions. In that original declaration, moreover, there was a secondary statement to the effect that the cen ter of the Four Hundred was sur rounded by an adjacent margin of about 1,000 persons who could be re lied upon for large balls and other entertainments. In other words, he placed the Four Hundred in jnuch the same position as Napoleon placed the Old Guard, and the 1,000 persons whom he mentioned in his secondary statement he regarded as a reserve force to be called upon in case of need. He was speaking only of the active combatants and not of those who had retired from the social fray or could only be counted upon to serve upon great occasions. London Sketch. 1 scapI. SAMBO'S NARROW E The Enumeration Was Not Complete Enough to Convict Him. i It is not strange that the southern col ored man has vague and mistaken no tions about property rights, fie and his ancestors were for ages enslaved and had no rights -whatever, even to their own persons. Therefore all they could gain was thrcfagh treachery and deceit, and it is only natural that these traits bred by slavery remain as inherited char acteristics, now that the negro enjoys the blessings of freedom. It may take several generations before their habit of stealing will be unlearned, for even when the colored man becomes religious his easily besetting sin will be most of ten found in his not respecting the prop erty rights of others. And thereby hangs a tale. It was a Tennessee Methodist class leader who had before him a -six months' probationer whom he was questioning for admission to all the privileges of the church. MWell, Sambo," said the class leader. "I hope you are prepared to live a Chris tian life in accordance with your pro fession." Have you stolen any chickens during the last six months?" , "No, sah 1 I done stole no chickens. " "Have you stolen any turkeys or pigs?" Sambo looked grieved. "No, sah I" "I am very glad to hear this good re port," continued the class leader, "and I trust you will continue to live an hon est Christian life. " , . - After church Sambo hurried home with his wife, who had overheard the catechizing. When they were fairly out of everybody s hearing, ho drew a long breath of relief and turned a self ap proving glance to his better half. "Golly," he said in a half cautious whisper, "cf he'd er said ducks I'd be'n a lost niggali, stiakl" Boston Budget Clothes ?.Iat-" yf T-ul, Underwear i3 ncu? mrulo in Pnvis of peat. This s6unds ike i joke, but there is nothing of the Munchausen order about it It has been knosvu for somo time that peat has certain antiseptic qualities. A dead body which was buried in peat for over a century was found in a state of per feot preservation. Peat is used in the northern countries of Europe for surgical bandages, and the favorable results obtained by the Russian sur geons with peat bandages have in duced the French army department to use it in the French hospitals. It has also been found that peat fibers in combination -with other ma terial possess wonderful absorbing properties. This has led Dr. Rasurel to use peat fibers for the making of underwear in the place of flannel. The new material has proved very effective, absorbing perspiration and rapidly drying. Dr. Rasurel calls his fabrio a "real hydraulio pump" and pronounces it an excellent pre ventive of colds. The new textile is already largely used in France. A WOMAN DETECTIVE. HOW SHE RECOVERED THE P06k ETEOOKS OF THREE SHOPPERS. An 'Experience With a Pretty Pickpocket . Which Is Duplicated Every Day In the Large Stores of New York Why the Thieves Are So Seldom Punished. A young woman wittr-a pretty face pressed . into crowd ,of bargain hunters gathered about the silver counter of a Sixth avenue dry goods store on a recent afternoon. . She elbowed her. way Into the middle of the throng, but got no further. Perhaps the lines In front of her were too compact, or she was tired from the exer tion of getting so far. At all events she remained stationary. A demure faced young woman who walked abotft the outside of the circle of shoppers, apparently aimlessly and with her eyes fixed on the floor a good part of the time, seemed 'to take an Interest in the other after several glances In her direc tion. - The demure woman kept her eyes on the pretty woman, and after awhile she elbowed her way into the .crowd, so that presently she was right behind the object of her attentions. When the pretty woman moved, the demure woman kept step with her and showed the utmost cu riosity about her actions, peering over hei shoulder when she could do so unobserved and at other times watching her arms and hands as closely as possible. Suddenly a shopper directly in front of the pretty woman screamed and showed an inclination to faint "Somebody has stolen my purse!" she cried. The shoppers and clerks crowded around. The former made examinations to deter mine whether their own purses were safe, and several declared hysterically that they, too, had been robbed. Some frighten ed women forgot all about thejargaina and hurried away. The others, in whom curiosity was stronger than fear, plied the victims with questions. Only two in the crowd did not seem greatly interested. They were the pretty woman and the de mure woman. The former was a little pale, but otherwise she appeared calm. She moled slowly and deliberately toward the edge of the crowd, but as she got free she stepped more quickly. Just then she felt a hand upon her shoulder, and turn ing quickly looked into the face of her fol lower. "I'll trouble you for those pocketbooks," said the demure woman quietly.' "What do you mean?' demanded the pretty one, not indignantly, but in appar ent surprise. "I'll trouble you to gtep Into the office, " said the demure woman "I will explain there." The pretty woman said nothing, but as sumed a puzzled expression. " Come. I'm the store detective, " insist ed the demure woman. . "I am sure I have done nothing, but I will go with you, " was the reply. This conversation had been carried on 6Q quietly that none of the excited shop pers around them heard it, and when the two walked away they were not noticed. They went straight to one of the executive offices. There the detective said sharply: . "Now, there's no use of your playing it any longer. I saw you take one purse anyhow, and you've got them alL If you put me to the trouble of finding them, I'll make it hot for you." "I really think you must be crazy," re turned the accused woman calmly. "I know nothing about anybody's pocket book but my own." The detective started in methodically to search her. She began by feeling the big, puffed sleeves and worked down. She found nothing. She stood back and look ed sharply at the suspect. The latter re turned her gaze in the frankest fashion, and, except that she seemed annoyed, there was nothing to arouse suspicion about her. The detective began her search all over again. Again she was foiled, and her sen timent changed to alarm. Visions of suits for damages filled her brain. At that mo ment the accused moved uneasily, and that directed the detective's eyes toher feet There lay a well filled purse, and the wom an's feet were making futile efforts to poke it under her skirts. The detective caught her by the arm and gave her a quick shove. Then two more pocketbooks were exposed. Evident ly the woman had slid them noiselessly down her dress and trusted to luck to re cover them later. In the meantime the victims had been making complaints to the superintendent, and the latter understood the situation when the detective, flushed with triumph, marched in with the thief and the pocket books. Briefly the detective related Tier experience, while the owners of the proper ty Indulged in exclamations of wonder and praise "I trust you will see that this thief Is properly punished," said one to the super intendent. "Of course," chorused the other two. Nothing would please me better," 6aid the superintendent gravely. "Of course you ladies will appear to testify against her?" There was dead silence for a moment. Then one said: "My husband would never allow me to enter a police court. " "Certainly not," said another. "Why, the reporters would write horrid stories about us." "I wouldn't have my name connected with suoh an affair for a dozen purses," said the third. The thief smiled, the detective groaned, and the superintendent looked sarcastic. "But think of your duty to the public," he siad. " You don't want this woman to be let loose in the community, do you?" "Your detective can prosecute her," re plied one of the women. - " We have tried it over and over again," replied the superintendent, "bat it is im possible to get a jury to convict a woman, especially if shejs pretty, upon the uncor roborated evidence of arpald detective." The women shru'-Ml their shoulders, but no amount of nr. ;nt could induce them to change their mtuds. They walked out sheepishly, while the thief grinned. "You're dead right" sho said, as they disappeared, dropping all further attempt at disguising her character. "My face is my fortune." ' "Just the same," said the superintena ent, "we can put you to a great deal of Inconvenience by having you locked up for a time, at least and if you ever are caught in here again well do it regardless of the trouble or expense Now get out of here."

FISH What the Champion . of the World, Be ' cently Deceased, Had to Say of His Call . Ins; Away Back In 1880 The Value of a Good Horse Dangers of the "Twister." Charles W. Fish, the bareback rider, was probably the best known rider in the world and held the championship for years, do ing many remarkable feats which the younger men in the prof ession never ex celled. He was . born in Philadelphia in 1839. He came of good old stock. The following interview with him, published in Philadelphia in 1880, will be interest ing, especially to circus men and lovers of the tent show: "What is ufessary, Mr. Fish, to become A first class iSrformer?" .'' v. " "Well, there are a good many things nec essary. To climb to the top of, the tree or on the back of tho horse, properly a child's training, boy or girl, should begin at the age of 5 or 6, not later than 7 or 8 years anyhow. The first steps aro to give the body that elasticity so essential, and this is done by practicing all kinds of tum bling on the ground. Somersaults, back ward and forward, handsprings or flipflaps in fact, all that tumblers do in a circus. ,When a boy becomes thoroughly proficient in this sort of thing, the next Step is to put him on the back of a horse and teach him how to keep his balance. There are two ways of doing this to keep a juvenile from mastering it at the risk of a broken neck. One is by the 'mechanic, 'a modern inven tion, by which the rider, is held suspended in the air if he leaves the horse's back while going.around the ring. The other is to have a rope attached to the boy's waist, which passes through a ring on the side of the pad, the end being held by the teacher. As soon as the boy begins to topple and is seen going a strong pull on the rope brings him up against the side of the horse and keeps him there until he can clamber back again. "I began riding when I was. 9 years old at Spaulding & Rogers' old circus in Cin cinnati, in 1843, but I've been all over the world since that. No, my family were not professional people. I yearned to become a rider the first time lever sawacirous, like ninety-nine out of every hundred boys in America.' "American male riders are the best in the world, but we look for the best lady riders in Europe. In Europe, I have known Frenohmen, Englishmen and Span iards to be billed as the 'Great American Horseman.' Some of these men never saw this side of the Atlantic. There is no rea son why the riders there should not be bet ter than American riders from the fact that they are six months in a place at a time, and learn to know their' ring thor oughly. That is a more important matter than it seems at first sight. A foot's differ ence makes a very serious matter. The ring is usually 42 feet in diameter, and a rider counts on that. A single foot larger or smaller makes it nocessary for the per formers to strike a different angle, inclin ing more inward as the ring gets smaller and more perpendicularly if its dimensions are increased. Yes, bareback riding is the most difficult, of course. A pad rider gen erally requires four or five years' hard practice bareback before he can be trusted for a clean, finished performance. You see, on pad riding a man doesn't have to take into account the horse's backbone or the curve of the back. It is perfectly level on a pad, and just so much easier. A great deal depends on the horso. "Value? Well, a first class horse is not for sale at any price. You've got to use a horse three or four years before you can de pend upon him with absoluto certainty. Reputation, living life itself depend upon a bareback rider having under him a horse on which he can positively depend to be just at the right place at the right time. Tho swerving cf an inch, the quickening or slowing of the pace to the half length of a hoof, may mean a broken arm, perhaps a broken neck, localize the danger? Why, of course wo do. .I've had a horso stumble on me when I was half way up in a somer sault, and before I got down I could real ize that I was in danger of never getting up alive. It only cost me a fractured arm, however, which is all right now. " The most . critical moment irfmy life was while I was doing a 'twister' in 1875. James Robinson and myself were with Montgomery Queen's circus on our way overland from San Francisco. We were billed as the rival champions, and at Mus kegon, Mich., on the 16th of August I first did the 'twister.' Now, I'll tell you what it is. There are three banners held very close together. As I ride, with my face to the first, 1 jump, pirouette ana come down again face forward, instantly up again for it must be done in an instant and half pirouette over the second, thus bringing my back to the horse's head, when I again alight, then, quick as a flash, up and turning a somersault, twist my body around when in the air, so as to reverse my position, and when I alight on my feet having my head in front, as the horse goes. I had practiced it on tho ground for ten years, but on a bareback horse it's a very different affair. We were in Detroit, and among the audience were J. M. French and a number of other prominent circus men. All were anxious to see the 'twist er.' The ring was wet and in bad condi tion, and I had only about one-third of the circle to work in. Throe, four, five times I tried it and failed. Tho sixth time, with every nerve strung to its utmost tension, with my teeth firmly set and my hands clinched, I- was determined to succeed. The audience rose almost en masse with excitement, and cries of 'Well done, any how 1 Don't try it again!' maddened me. The first step was all right, so was the next, but as I left for tho final spring the horse stumbled slightly. It was too late. I was up in the air and came down 'with a terrific crash, head and shoulders, just dis locating my elbow. I didn't do tho 'twist er' just then." "Ever try it again?" . "Oh, yes," was tho winding up sentence of the interview, "I do it now!" Tho (Jotvs of Delhi. The crowded streets of Indian citie3 present manifold attractions, but the study of native life and man ners in Delhi is frequently interrupt ed by the gray herds of Brahmani cows which roam about at their will, with the evident conviction in variably entertained by these pam pered animals that their own im portance far exceeds that of the com munity which they inconvenience by their presence. An overturned stall witnesses to the self assertion of the sacred kine, and as our carriage disperses a block ade of sleek backs and interlacing horns an indignant member of the scattered conclave wreaks vengeance on the battered chariot by pushing it along with these natural weapons to the end of the street. The raison d'etre of the assembled cows is found in the presence of a great Hindoo temple, where a glimpse of glittering images in fretted shrines is unwill ingly granted to the unbelievers, whose feet are forbidden to tread the sacred courts of the Brahman sanc tuary. All the Year Round. . Starboard and Port. ' Why do the sailors call the right hand side of the ship "starboard" and the left hand "port?" For the answer it is necessary to go back to the days of the Norsemen and Sax ons. In the viking ships the war riors hung the "bords," or shields, on the side of the ship above the places for their oars. The viking himself held the steer oar, which was fastened to the right hand side of the stem. Thus the right hand side of the ship became known as the steer . side, and as the bords of the warriors were hung there it was called the "steerbord," or starboard side, while the lower or lurking side became the larboard.
