Y., March 8 —Lan_'! is a grand and beautiful custom; it uot only brings a peaceful calm into crowded, busy lives, but it lifts the heart and brain into purer, better atmos: phere. There is always a mysterious pirituality about the weeks of Lent which seems to unite the peoples of this earth in close and sweet communion. 1t is a universal observance, and one which is beneficial to the weak-hearted ana faltering ones—*For what shall it profit & man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” Lent gives a lot of folks the chance to repent for sins committed, and guard agamst further offenses. Recently a bnsy-brained writer on a New York paper expressed the opinion that Lent was a very absurd custom because it lowered the price of labor, threw hundreds of pursegirls, chambermaids, butlers, valets and ladies’ maids out of employ- ment on account of the guiet lives and simple household methods the mujority of folks adopt during the Lerten season. The writer was too prejudiced to admit that in the meantime millions of people benefit by the good ola custom. * ® x o % o® % ® o® Though ’tis early in the season, the majestic ocean steamers are filled with departing Americans, bound for English and European shores. Every year the migration. fever seems to find a greater number of victims, and if things keep on in this way for a few years miore Uncle Sam might as well close shopevery spring about the 1st of April and not begin busi- ness again until the 1st of September. The rich folks run over to London and Paris to do their shopping, and return to America just in time 10 open up their country or seaside homes for a fow weoks. The well-to-do citizen takes his family “abroad” because he finds it is ever so much cheaper to live in “wayside inns” and modest boarding-nouses than it is to put up at one of the summer hotels in the Adirondacks or Catskills, or suffer the genule filching process which robs the honest citizen of all he hus, such as is met with at Long Branch, Narragansett Pier, Baratoga and Newport. It is a soiry truth, but American landlords in summer hotels can charge you more good dollars for simply nothing than in any other land under the vaulted heavens. Mrs. Henry Giilig left for Paris last Sat- urday on the steamship Ems. Her plahs are to return to New York in the early summer and remain until autumn at her beautiful home u? Larchmont. Lee Fairchild, He of the airy tongue, the uniqae wit and rare political tendencies, is lecturing throughout the East under the auspices of Major Pond’s New York Lecture Bureau. Mr. Faircnild made a very brilliant rec- ord during the late campaign as an orator; conseguently the lecture field has claimed nim for its very own. Mr. Fairchild did good work for - the Republican party dur- the fizht, and 'tis an open fact that he expected a nice large bite out of the **po- litical p’e,” but bosses are prone to mak- ing promises which they remember to forgei, and thereon hangs a thousand histories. Mr. Fairchild is meeting with success on the lecture platform; therefore he is con- tent. Mrs. A. B. Reesing of San Francisco passed through New York on Thursday and registered at the Waldorf. Miss M. Childs of Los Angeles reached the city on Friday, and is a guest at the Fifth-avenue Hotel. 'W. E. Croffers of Ban Francisco is in town for a very short visit. Business will detain him here but a few days at most. The blue parler in the Fifth-avenue Ho- tel looked very springlike on Saturday morning. The sun beamed in brigntly, end its slanting rays fell upon an immense gilded busket, nilled with the most glorious flow- ers I have ever seen. A large flower- decked horseshoe and a big bow! of lilies of the valley completed the floral outfit. Whose were they? They had been pre- sented to Hon. Thomas C. Platt, Unitea States Senator from New York, when he marched to bis new teat in the chamber on Friday. They were sent him by the famous delegation of the *'306,” who won such renown during the Grani, Garfield and late campaigns. A lot of that wise old guard are passéd beyond the portals of this restless life, and there was a simple pathos in the words that sent, written on the card which accompanied the flowers sent to Senator Thomas C. Platt. It read this- wise, verbatum: ‘To Hon. Thomas C. Platt, United States Senate: Your remaining associates of the New York delegation of the ‘306’ by these little tokens desire to express their best wishes for your success and jgod- speed.” Was it not a tender tribute ?

Frawley, fwith all his good Jooks and seli-assurance, bustled about New York for two or three days last week, winding up his affairs, etc., and with » merry twinkle in his eye sailed out of the barbor on the Lucania, Saturday morn- ing. Mr. Frawley’s friends in New York are asking him how he does it, but he merely looks wise and says: **Well, you see, the West is a great piace. Ilove the people there, and I'm justchicken-hearted enough to think they like me a little bit. Anyhow it makes me happy to think they do, so why should I worry further?” Mr. Frawley expects to have a lov of good things up his sleeves and nestled away under his hatband when he 1eturns to these shores, N The sudden and unexpected death of Nelson Wheatcroft has cast a gloom about the Empire, Lyceum and Knickerbocker theaters which will not be lifted for many days. Mr. Wheatcroft was a refined and intelligent gentleman, beloved by his associates and admired by the New York public. Itisalways said that “it takes a gentleman to play a villain on the stage successfully.” Mr. Wheatcroft was a splendid example of the truth of that say- ing, for no actor on the English-speaking stage could play a villain with such deli- cate subtlety as the handsome and well. built Nelson W heatcroft. His funeral at the Little Church Around the Corner on Friday afternoon was sad and impressive, many actors and promi- nent managers being silent witnesses to the last somber rites over his soul-berelt body. 1.

Here is the only recipe: Wear in your left pocket, or at your left side, a tiny rabbit's foot mounted in silver. Take heed that the foot be the left hind one of the rabbit, Said rabbit must be killed in a country graveyard at midnight during the dark of the moon on Kriday, the 13th of the month, and must be put to death by a cross-eyed, hare-lipped, bow- legged, red-headed, nigger on a white horse. Remember that if these directions are not carried out to the letter the rabbit foot will prove to be a howlingand uncom= promising “hoodoo.”” Candidly, Treera Forrz Toraxp. 84 Park Row. ¥Francesca Relief Work.
