The death of Mr. Blaine will have just the samo effect on the social world as if he had died at the head of the State ent. It is understood that nearly all entertainments that had been planned for several days to gome will be postponed. This not only affects the hospitalities of offi- cial families, but just as largely those of the private residents, among whom both the dead stateeman and bis family were probably the best acquainted. Mrs. BH. Warder has withdrawn her invita~ tions for the cotillon she intended to give this evening, and others will do likewise. It is understood that the cabinet families will retire from all social occasions for the ten days following tho funeral and may, in some in- stances, owing to the near approach of the close of the season, not open their houses again for their customary entertainments. Seeretary and Mra. John W. Foster expected to leave together by the 12:15 train today for New York. After the news of Mr. Blaine’s death was brought to Mr. Foster he at once decided to remain here and will join his wife in Watertown, N.Y.,eomo time next week. A number of friends were at the station a few minutes before 12 to see Mrs. Foster off. Nearly all camo Inden with flowers, and she had ail the corsage bouquets she could possibly pin on and all the roses she could carry in both | arms to take away as pleasant reminders of her friends, ‘There was time at the station before the train left for her to have a little chat with each of those present. Mra. McKee and Mrs. Dimmick brought flowers which they presented with their good-byesand a box more of them to | send to Mrs. Lansing, who will join her mother in New York tonight.

Smithis just abont to enter into | another stage of his successful career in the service of the State Department. He has been appointed consular clerk to succeed Mr, Carl A. | Hausman, and his first duties abroad will_be to \act ax private secretary to Secretary Foster during his labors at the Bering +ea conference.

The origin of the very cheap and doubtful stories called dime novels and of the matter in the very cheap family papers is more or loss of a mystery to most people. The Dead- wood Dick series and books of that character are usually without the names of publishing houses or bear the names of publishing houses not in existence. The authors of these stories are unknown to the world, and this kind of literature is printed with as much concealment as if it were New York green goods, Down in an east side screet, near one of the large and well-known cheap publishing houses, is the birthplace of much of this kind of litera- ture. Upstairs in an old-fashioned red brick building are the offices and machinery for creating and publishing a yellow back and stereotyping the matter that goes into many of the story papers that find their way to every rural and hamlet post office in the country. Not only are stories printed here and made into pot metal for the cheap papers elsewhere, but the building contains offices for the authors of the new story and the “boilers down” or re- hachers of the old story. In two or three small rooms are a dozen or so of men scated at desks, maintaining the semblance of authors and thinkers. Some of them wear glasses and hold the blue pencil behind their ears and labor with long manu- scripts, while others are running through printed slips or old story papers hunting for the baso of a new plot. Many of these stories are condensed or rehashed from others that have already bad a large circulation. ‘The most of the stories, however, are bought by this concern from the large publishing house near by and other cheap story publish- ing houses. Tons of cheap and trifling fiction annuilly accumulate at these large publishing houses, and much of it is of no use to them. ‘This shop or mill has been created to utilize it by putting it upon the market, and that ac- counts in a large measure why there is so much of this kind of literature. The demand has been largely created by the facilities for making the cheap and very doubtful story. A publisher in speaking of this place said’ “Not one person in twenty who writes stories for publication by the cheaper houses ever sees himself in print, and not one in fifty who aims higher. It seems to me, at times, that almost the whole population of the country is trying to write stories. Nino-teuths of these are blood eurdling or are total non- sense, and this shop gets the choice of the rubbish that no reputable house could afford to put its name to. “This shop is perhaps the only publishing | house in the eity absolutely independent of the a and writer, Itis im literature the rag- picker and the ash-barrel sifter. Some of its stereotypes for family story papers are credit able, however, as thore publications go. «This shop is tor obvious reasons nknown to the public, Being independent of the story writer, the concern desires to avoid his pres- ence and persistence. The story writer who rather than have his tale never see the light. Iknow that some story writers in New York who have failed to do even creditable work have drifted into writing cheap ‘rot’ for a liv- ing. ‘Then, too, this sort of literature 18 never advertixed in places of intelligence. Intelligent prejudice is against it,even if its circulation docs not violate the law.” —see A GAMBLER: LAMENT. He Wants an Opportunity to Gamble All the Time. From the New York Sun. It was after hours in Wall street, The ex- changes were closed and many of tho brokers had left the street. Their clerks were still busy completing the records of the day's transactions. In one office a man stood gaz- ing dreamily at the blackboard where the quo- tations of the day's business were recorded in big characters. He had gray hair and a smooth-shaven face. His features inclined to sharpness, but nevertheless his face was a mask through which could be seen only in distinctly, as through a fog-covered window, the play of his emotions. One realized that this man could maintain his outward appear- ance of composure in all emergencies. He was fashionably dressed and looked prosperous. “Ie it pleasant to be nn operator in Wall street?” a man asked him. He turned and replied calmly: “Yes, indeed. It is my life, my enjoyment. I would rather gamble than eat, and my only objection to this business is that it doesn’t last long enough. If it would only continue into the night I would be perfectly satisfied. What I would like tosee is an American Monte Carlo, Then I could fol- low my favorite amusement at night.” “Why don't you go to the gamblin; that do exist? “Why sigh for new ones?” “They charge too high commissions. I find no pleasure in gambling where I am sure to isan Ihave achance here or at Monte ‘arlo.”” “Way don’t you go to Monte Carlo?” “I am sea sick all the way across and all the way back. I would live there only I cannot starve, and I would eventually come to that. If it were here I could win my way out by occa- sional strokea of luck down here. The best thing of all, however, would be to keep the ex- changes going all the time. That would please ‘me most.” houses ——+e+_____ Tunis Brides Must Be Beautifal. ‘From the Faster Age. charged, dispatched or lost a former wife, the shackles which the former bride wore are put upon the new bride's limbs, and she is fed till The Tood ured for ua custo ter for }, is e sed called an ext i fat Papa Fageedhapeoerighee iterally crammed, ‘many under the spoon. ————+e+____ A Slow Young Man’s Trifiing. ‘Miss Keedick (to her sister)—“Mr. Linger has been coming to see me for several BECOMMENDED FOR OFFICE.

From the Sioux City Journal. “I bad heard of skunk farms, rattlesnake farms and other novelties in the farming line, said Nick Hansen yesterday toa party of friends who were congregated about the stove in the court of the Exchange building while waiting for the Ilinois Central to double the receipts of the day, “but I never heard of a black cat farm until I went out to Washington. The year that I went out there Jim Wardner, an ole-timer who used to stage it with Fred Evans in the early ays, and who is quite well known to many Sioux Cityans, cbnccived the idea of raising black cate for their fur, and proceeded to organize a stock company to push the enter- prise. “A company was organized with a capital stock of $200,000 and an island of abont 1,000 acres in extent located in Bellingham bay, in the upper part of Puget sound, was obtained to carry on the farming. Then a grand skir- amish was made to get black cats, ‘The Pacific coast states were ransacked and nearly every incoming train was loaded with black cats, which were immeiiately taken to the island, ot “cat factory,’ as we called it, They were in charge of a number of men, who furnished them with food by seine fishing in the bay, anda certain number were killed during the year to pay the current ex; ‘a good black cat's pelt was worth $2, and the company was making a mint of money. “Cate’ fur makes up elegantly into muffs and to be plenty of money in the industry for Sin Wardase and kis company, and T Ghtak that it will only be the matter of a short time until other companies aré formed and like in- dustries are catabliched on some of the numer- ous islands in the sound. i Women Stato Lébrarinus. ‘From the Philade phis Times In nearly every southern state a woman is state librarian.

Not, however, because of antagonism to the lower peninsula, but be- cause their interests are separate: they are isolated by the straits of Macinac five miles wide and are quite a community by themselves. They are wonderfully rich in minerals, partic- ularly copper. The Calumet and Hecla mine has enough ore in sight to ‘ast them for a score of years—millions of tons. The iron mines of the penincnla are among the best in the world, while the’ imber resources are very extensive, Agriculturally that portion of te state is not up to the lower haif.
