Yeuse is got yer flipper done up jest t' git de goils t’ pipe youse off.” The soldier was too weak to make any eply. ‘S'pose we jest fin’ out about dis duck’s wound, eh, feilers?" said the loafer. Before the soldier sitting on the curb- stone had time to more than look up three of the hood!ums were upon him. While twe of them held him, the other one delib- erately tore the bandages from the gaping, unhealed Mauser wound in his shoulder. The soldier was unconscious from the loss of blood when the hospital ambulance pick- ed him up. Only one of the hoodlums was coralled by the police. He was fined $2 for disorderly conduct in the police court the next morning. For several weeks past the “h2Ip want- ed” columns of the New York newspapers have been filled with furriers’ and cloak- makers’ advertisements for “shap2ly young women, of thirty-six-inch bust measure- ment, to act as models.” Why thirty-six? is the question that J put to an acquaint- ance in the fur business. He replied that thirty-six was the averag: measurement, and that the thirty-six models are all snap- ped up early in the season; hence the plead- ing, almos: tearful advertisements for young vomen of that particular measur2- ment by firms that waited too long before icking up models. eesand, by the way, in this sort of weath- er,” said the man in the fur trade, “there are more delightful occupations for young women than that of model for the trying on of fur garments. Come down to my place and T'll show you why. This fur man's piace consisted of a couple of huge lofts on Broadway—one of them de- voted to the fir manufacturing business and the other a sales room. In the sales room fiftzen nice-leoking young women were trying on heavy sealskin coats and sacques, to exhibit the garments as worn to knots of buyers from western cities. The temperature of the loft was about 100 de- gre2s, and there was not a suspicion of a breeze. The young women were dressed in thick cloth suits, the better to show off the fur garments—shirt waists wouldn't do, so the fur man told me. Some of them w2re compelled to keep the heavy sealskin gar- ments glued to their backs for as much as f an hour at a stretch. Two of them ted from the heat and from fatigu2 while I watched the dismal scene in the loft. They were carried to a “reviving rcom,” and returned, looking pale and hag- gard, a few minutes later, to resume their lab. One of the young women thus bravely earning her iivelihood was well known in Washington until the death of her father, a naval officer, a few years ago. The Gerry Society got hold of an eight- year-old Polish boy over on the east side the other day, whose thin little body was strap-welted from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.gThe hospital people had something of a job to pull the little chap through. When he was able to talk he told the Gerry agent in broken English that the reason he had been welted so nearly to death’s door by his Polish father was that the father had repeatedly over- heard him talking in English. His father, the child said, demanded that he cut the English speech out altogether. He had di obeyed the demand. surreptitiously, he had thought, but his father overheard him talk- ing in English with some boy companions; hence the terrible cutting up he had re- ceived. When the Polish father was brought into the police court he confessed the soft impeachment. Yes, he had de- clined to permit his young ones to make any use of the English language. Why? That, said he through the interpreter, was his business. The man got thirty days, not as a lesson in Americanism, but for nearly Killing his boy. New York is emulating London in its es- tablishment of a summer silly season, de- Voted to the discussion of “questions of manners” in some of its newspapers. The @vestion as to whether men shall remove their hats in restaurants frequented by women is now raging in one of the weekly periodicals. Fact. It appears inconceiva- ble, but it is so, all the same. Queerer still, most of the contributors to the argu- ment tuke the negative side of the ques- tion, on the ground, for the most part, that in the New York restaurants the hat racks are located inconveniently, and that, there- fore, “gents” can't be expected to rest their chapeaux on the floor. One must not o so far as to say that in the best of the ew York restaurants the men do not doff their headgear when women ere seated at the tables. But in the middle-class restaurants- not cheap-jack eating houses on the Bowery, but places even on Broadway and on 6th avenue, where fair prices are paid for food by men and womcn—t{t is common enough to see dezens of men seated at the tables, mith their hats pushed back from their foreheads, and shopping women right alongside of them. ‘The women ¢ to pereeiv in this.

He very rarely helps the woman accompanying him to alight from a cable car, for example. He gets off first himself, instead, and then walks richt ahead.

Instead, he clutches her arm, and thus guides’ her through the thorougafares. This ts not Pretty. Nothing that is “common” is pretty. As there is but one Dewey, so, also, thera is but one “Tod” Sloan. The jockey—who is second to no living man in the admira- »n of this populace—needs to be seen in his compartment cf the palace car that oes every afternoon to the Sheepshead Bay Tace track, to be appreciated. You see, he rises at such a late hour—and ‘his man,” too, is so careful in making him up for public_appesrance—that he doesn’t have time to read his large mail before boarding the traia for the track at 1:30 in the after- neen. The diminutive “Tod,” groomed and manicured up to the very limit, and with “bis man” sitting, beautifully poised, in an adjoining seat—the diminutive “Tod” read- ing his huge mail is—well, interesting. He first assorts the letters. Those the envel- opes of which have business inscriptions, he scarcely opens at dll—he saves these for his secretary. But he opens all of the pink ones—all of the pale blue ones—all of those, in brief, that diffuse vague per- fumes in the close compartment. Anon, a smile, as he reads, flits over his shrewd little countenance. Again, he looks rather set and hard as to features—looks as “Tod” might look supposing one of his mounts, the favorite, of course—all of “Tod's” mounts are favorites—were to sud- denly “chuck” a race in the #tretch, and get beaten out by a nose by a 40’ to 1 shot. Pe he opens one that simply aj ears to bore him. He tears them all ragments as soon as he reads them, and throws the bits out of the car window— wherein he shows his wisdom. If he con- trives to read all of the scented notes dur- ing the ride, he may pick up a few of the letters from cigar men, ee his per- mission to name cigars after him, etc., but he prefers to leave all of this sort of thing to his secretary. There are not, in truth, many genuinely bored men in New York. But if such a thing as an utterly blase 100-pounder be possible, then «Uttle “Tod” Sloan, probably the master jockey of the world today, is the boy. cL. c. ——— Yankee Insolence.

RULES FOR THE CONTEST Written for The Evening Star. When the “royal and ancient” game of golf was first introduced on this side of the Atlantic there were those who did not hesitate to proclaim it a fad that would soon die a natural death when the novelty of it had been exhausted. Instead of this interest In the Scottish game has steadily grown stronger and more universal, a greater number of people are playing golf this summer than played it last, and when next season comes around it will show a still farther increase. Golf may have been a fad to start with, but it is now well past the fad stage. It has developed into a permanent fixture among our out-door sports. The extent of this popularity may be de- termined when it is stated» that over $15,000,000 are expended each season on the game by its devotees. This vast sum represents only what fs spent in the way of club dues, for necessary equipment, such as balls, bags etc., far caddy fees, trans- portation to and from the links, and for the special clothing in which the golfer garbs himself when he turns out upon the “greens.” Large as these figures are. they are probably under the mark rather than over it, for there are some 611 golf clubs in the country today, huving a combined membership of about 150,000. ‘The property of the various clubs, club houses and the ground occupied by the links, no doubt represent many millions more that have found permanent invest- ment in the game. But this by no means fixes the limit. In addition to those clubs that owe their existence to golf, there are numerous private courses that wealthy fashicnables maintain at their country Places for the use and entertainment of themselves and their friends. There are some fifty or sixty of these private courses that are sufficiently extensive and so per- fectly kept up that they deserve to rank with the best club courses. These links, club and private, are scattered all over the indeed, it would be difficult to name a locality that does not boast a golf course of some sort. Rather Expensive. From what has been said of the amount of money annually spent on golf, it might appear that it is a game which only the vy rich can afford to enjoy. While this is sure true, still many Individuals ay gulf at an expense of less than $200 a on, which, of course, means rather close figuring. On the other hand, many players Spend anywhere from $500 to $1,000 each year om their favorite pastime, though they probably get no more real satisfaction from it for that reason than do their more restricted fellow: Heavy as the expenses of some American players are, it is doubtful if any of our millionaire enthusiasts have yet equaled the worthy Earl of Wemyss, who resided ta East Lothian, Scotland, late in the last century, and who was a familiar figure on the famous Gosford links. He ended by be- coming so enamored of the sport that he finally built himself a golf house, near course; the result, according to John Kerr's “Golf Book of East Lothian,” was “the present palatial building, or at least the main portion thereof. The earl, though he built this mansion that he might golf at Gosford, never inhabited it. When it was completed in the year 1800, the idea got about that sea sand having been used in the building, it was damp and unhealthy. ‘The earl therefore added to the old building and made that his house, and the new man- sion stood tcrantless till it was put in or- der and tenanted by the present earl in 18%). The cost of the mansion when it was built at the end of the century was £100,000. At the end of the ninety years during which it stood unoccupied the accumulated value at 4 per cent, with compound int est, woild be above three million poun This will doubtless stand for a long wh to com> as high water mark in the matter of what a man can do to make golf costly. when. he really tries. The Annual Tournament. Just at present golfers all over the coun- try are looking forward to an event of un- usual interest. This event is the tourna- ment that will decide the amateur cham- rionship of America. The contest wil be held during the week of September 13 at the Mcrris County Golf Club, Morristown, N. J. These yearly contests have grown tn importance each succeeding season as in- terest in the game has deepened. Last year’s was held at Chicago and resulted in A. J. Whigham carrying off the amateur championship honors. The one of the pre- ceding year was played on the Shinnecock course. Both of these tournaments were largely attended and served to create an enthusiasm for the sport in quarters where it had not previously been known. Judging from present indications, the tournament of 1898 will prove to be the best contested, most largely attended, and by long odds the most interesting go!f championship contest played in the United States. The great number of clubs in the imme- diate neighborhood of New York and the nearness of Morristown to the former city, 1s of itself a guarantee of numerous en- tries. Some of the best players {n the east have signified their intention of participat- ing, while the inore distant cities, such as Boston, Detroit and Chicago, will be well represented by many of their best players, who will come to try for the very highest honors the royal and ancient sport has to offer for skill and cleverness. To prepare for the contest the Morris County Club, during the last few months, has devoted not only money, but time and thought as well to the task of putting the course in the best possible condition, Links in Fine Condition. Willie Weir, the club professional, and the greens committee have bestowed weeks of the closest personal attention to every part of the links, with the gratifying result that they have succeeded in securing a course that has but three or four equals in the country. ‘To do this a great many im- portant changes and extensions have been made In the grounds. The course was for- merly 5,067 yards long, for the eighteen holes, but the alterations that have been made have extended it by 900 yards, and it now enjoys the distinction of being the longest strictly first-class eighteen-hole course in tha United States or Canada. ‘There is no scint of space, the greens are all large and in perfect condition. The ma- jority of them are 100 feet square. The first hole is 238 yards from the tee. It is placed directly in front of the club house, so that the broad and spacious piazza offers an ex- cellent point of vantage from which to view the start ue total distance of the “out” holes are 2,823 yards, and the ijast Shalt of the course, or “in” holes, is 3,122 yards. ‘This makes it the longest course in the country, Prominent Players, Prominent among the players who will show thelr skill on the Morristown course may be mentioned Walter J. Travis, whose fine playing on the golf links of the Metro- politan Association gave him the lead for the first half of the present season. Hi S been one of the best golfers of New Sore ever since the game became popular, and has yet to enter a tournament and make & poor showing. His strong point is play- ing for approach. Travis’ chance for the championship seems to be considered excel- lent if@e lives up to his record. AJ igham, who carried off the hon- ors at Chicago last season, and with “plenty to spare,” will probably play his usual superb game, unless his recent deten- ay jn Cabanas prison has robbed him of is form. Whigham is one of the most attractive players on this side. His game is full of style and individuality, and he has long been consider: the foremost American amateur. Many of the wise men of golf appear to think highly of -Findlay 8, Douglass, and his play in last year’s contest certainly warrants the good esteem in which he is held. The same my be said of H. R. Sweeney and 4€. B.4 McDonald, the well- known Chicag@iplayer. A good-deal és anticipated from the sea- son's crop of golfers. Among the best of these are Curtés of;zhe Ardsley Ciub, and Clark and Hollinsy;who haye developed great form on the Shinnecock course.

CHAUTAUQUA READING CIRCLE FOR 1898-9; five volumes. Flood & Vincent. Once a year this firm issues a series of volurses for the now.widely extended Chau- tauqua Circle, ‘andi its additions to the shelves of stullznts’ have been generous and at the sayne time judiciously chosen in both subject and treatment. This year’s course of reading carries the member of the circle and others who may incidentally pursue this line of “research and self-im- provement into, the fields of history, geol- ogy, literatureyand sociology, two of the volumes being devoted to the first named. James Richard Joy presents “Twenty Centuries of English History,” necessarily very much condensed, but serving to guide the beginner in thjs research to larger sources of infoggaatign. The outline is care- fully laid down and side,notes afford many Interesting suggestions of the less strictly historical phases of this marvelous era of the world’s story. References to historical authorities abound, and thus in a measure the present volume fs in the nature of an index, presented in literary form and hand- somely illustrated. Each chapter is fol- lowed by a list of books for special read- ing, fiction being offered as well as history. The late Alexander Winchell, LL.D., professor of geology and paleontology in the University of Michigan, had prepared a volume for the Chautauqua Circle, under the title, “Walks and Talks in tne Geo- logical Field,’” which, after his death, was edited, revised and somewhat abridged by Frederick Starr of the University of Chi- cago. It thus appears now as a posthum- ous work, and preserves practically all of Prof. Winchell’s masterly presentation of his subject. The book holds a position mid- way between a text book and a volume of light reading. It presents the wonderful story of the earth's construction in a de- lightful style. “Europe in the Nineteenth Century,” by Harry Pratt Judson, LL. D., head profes- sor of political science in the University of Chicago, is another of the volumes. It treats of today and its immediate prece- dents from the viewpoint of the student of present political problems, and carries him far afield, as modern expansive condi- tions demand. The studies of the recent development of European complications are comprehensive, yet clearly stated, and the book thus attracts readers of serious intent in its treatment of the matters which are now engrossing the attention of the civilized nations of the world as never before. The story of English literature 1s clearly and entertainingly told in a volume en- titled “From Chaucer to Tennyson,” by Henry A. Beere, professor of English lit- erature in Yale University. There are twenty-nine portraits and selections from thirty authors, well chosen to present a characteristic view of each succeeding phase of English letters. ‘The earlier Anglo-Saxon works are eschewed as use- less to the average student, and as being only slightly associated with the literature of the tongue as it is now known and studied. The cutting off of these remote and unintelligible beginnings greatly sim- plifies the work and undoubtedly adds to its attractiveness. Susan Hale, in “Men and Manners of the Eighteenth Century,” sketches, with the aid of some of the best-known authors of that period, the daily life and customs of one of the quaintest times now passed be- yond immediate recollection. ‘This is ac- complished by reference to the standard literature of the century, ranging mainly through the varying moods of the writers of fiction. There was much dross in this output of literature, likewlse much more of real value, and the present author win- nows the one from the other and offers an interesting suryey the writers of the past century, giving’ especial attention to descriptions of the, daily customs of men and women.

VONDEL'S LUCIFER. Translated from the Dutch by Leonard Charles Van Noppen. Hinstrated by John Aarts. New York: Continental Pub- Ushing Company. Justus van den Vondel is regarded now as in the foremost rank of Holland's poets, though his works are unfamiliar save to those who have made a special study of continental litzrature of the seventeenth century. The ckief literary interest thus far aroused by his works has been the re- semblance between his “Lucifer,” his great- 2st work, and Milton’s poems. Striking par- allels have been discovered by comparative students, and already several volumes have appeared to analyze the resemblances be- tween “Lucifer” on the one side and “‘Para- dise Lost” and “Paradise Regained” on the other. Yet this gr2at Dutch poem has net until now been translated into English. The present volume is therefore notable in that it discloses a hitherto unfamiliar yet profit- able field for literary study. Accompanying the translation are notes on Vondel's life and times. an interpretation of the poem, references to the Milton parallels, a list of the Vondel volumes now in print, a portrait of the poet, an introduction by Prof. Wm. H. Carpenter, professor of G2rmanic philos- ophy at Columbia University, and one by G. Kalff, professor of Dutch Hterature at the University of Utrecht. THE YANKEE NAVY. By Tom Masson. Mins- ited. New Yort Life Publishing Company It seemed somewhat incongruous when, a few weeks ago, an apparently serious history of the American navy began to ap- pear serially in the pages of Life, which are ordinarily devoted to the comics, and are seldom graced with sober reflections. But as the weeks went by it was plain that Life was serving. to its readers in attract- ive style one of the timeliest stories which could have been produced, and the hand- some illustrations, mainly taken from con- temporary prints, added materially to the value of the matter. The book-form publi- cation is further evidence of the serious tent of the publication. The history js re- plete with anecdotes illustrative of the American naval spirit, and the style is re- freshingly unlike that of the averag? his- torian. One palpable blunder mars the pages, however. The date of the Maine Cisaster is given as March 16, instead of February 15. ow c=} 4 £ 2 a 2 FI a : By Spencer Trask. Ilas- ork: G. P. Putnam's Sons.

Twenty Rough Riders from Camp Wikolff rode into Southampton Thursday evening. They were looking for heroes which had stampeded from camp on Wednesday niglit. They enjoyed the trip exceedingly. Yesterday morning they were all ordered back to camp, but two or three stragglers wandered off and began to enjoy hie in Southampton. One Rough Rider, who had been deeply entertained by various kind citizens, felt happy and proclaimed the festal day with proper whoops and yells. Just ax he had emitted his fourth pleasant screech he chanced to meet two Shinnecock Indians, Poor peaceful chaps who had come in from the links to buy golf balls, etc. SUll they were big bucks and looked like raiding Kiowas to the Rough Rider. ““Whoo-ee-te-yip!’’ he remarked as he “Now! Come on, blast ye, T'll take on a hundred of ye!” “Beg pardon,” said the nearest Indian, “but we really cannot fight without our niblicks, brassies, putters and __lofters, y’knaw.” (Golf has bitten deep into the Shinnecock tribe.) “Oo-00-00! I'm plum locoed,” howled the Rough Rider dismally. ‘Them Injuns is talkin’ fancy eastern talk, but I'l At that moment honest hearts and will- ing hands separated the Rough Rider from his pistol. It was explained to him that the Indians were only caddies. Meantime the two bucks were smuggled out of sight. Then the chief of police and police force of Southampton, all under one hat, came rushing along to quell the Rough Rider. “You're under arrest,’ quoth he. “Youre on the brink of your everlasting gra replied the cowboy, raising iis pis- tol, that had been restored to him, and cocking it.
