iSpecinl Correspondence of tbe Wisconsin. NEW YORK, Feb. bear every day of people who get black and blue in their efforts to climb the eocial ladder. AVe hear of people who are scornfully spoken of as among the "social climbers," and everv now and then somebody wonders if they will reach the beicht to which they are climbing. They will if they have skins like hippopotamuses and plenty of money; if they do not mind being snubbed by a woman, and then approaching her the next day with a smile, expecting another snub, willing to take it, and yet to smile again the day after.

They must also learn that two kicks down the rungs of the ladder which they wish to climb must to fly up five more. ThevNiuust'be willing to spend money, and upend it in great quantities, and they must run after a lion, trv to i'liptiirp him, and exhibit him in Eolden chaiifs in their drawing-rooms; but, all, they must feed their well, and that is where the social climber too often makes mistake. nrxcs OF THE SOCIAL LADDER.

There are alwayc a few women who will not assist the climber, no matter how much money Ehe may spend or Itow entirely she may submit to being metaphorically, ott-ourse.

HOW' WOMAN WOMAN. One delightful woman here will control tho people who visit at Her house, and onco, when a climber went up to her and paid, "I am going to do myself the pleasure of coming to your next Tuefdiiy," she was looked at through a pair lorgnettes by a pair of piercing graf eyes, and the answer came with bafiutit'ul clearness, "I do not admit to my house people who are not on my viKit'inp list." on my Another wdnian, who thought that by gushing and (giving a great deal of personal infornjation she could pet to where she wished, grew very with a youngiuiarried woman and said to her, I wonder that you use roupe; 1 didn't know anybody but the demimonde did that." With a sweet smile the haughty young matron answered: "You are very fortunate in knowing anything about their habits or them; mv acquaintances have always been in a different set." As this was audible to the entire room, the familiar friend was mto8t beautifully TWO KlXIlS OK WOMEN. That woman is an abomination upon the face of the earth who goes around gossiping to the rest of womankind about the habits, costumes, and special friends "of women of the other world. I She can never really account creditably for this knowledge, and her listener has a perfect right to conclude that she had acquaintances among them, it is most probable she has gathered her stories from different-men. American women are learning to do like their French to entirely ignore these ladies, and irhen they meet them to stare as blankly as if there was no material figure near tliem.

This is the art of tho woman of the world, who never sees line disagreeable in life. RIDER UAGGAfcD LEAVES AN IMPRESSION, It is probable that nobody has left such a pleasant im pression of that is. no Hider Haggard. He was only here a little while, but during hat time both he and his wife were made much of and entertained, and they showed that they thoroughly liked.it. Wide travel has taken away from them the insular prejudices of the average English, and they are prepared to meet the pleasant smile with a pleasant, not condescending oue, and to find good wherever goodliness and kindliness are to be met.

Mrs. Haggard is a most devoted wife, (her husband's companion wherever he goes, and so pleased were they with the people whom they saw in New York that they, think of returning thisway to meet their new friends again. Haven't you a great liking for the man who wrote "and "Cleopatra?" And haven't you a great scorn for those people who, worn out mentally, of imagination as if it were a language that could be learned, rather than a gift straight from God at one's birth? And don't you think these same priggish writers, who will give yon reams on the family purse, discuss woman's position in the political world, whether society women ought to wear low-neck gowns ministers white ties, and actors fur-lined overcoats, would be much more desirable if they had a little imagination? Don't yon suppose that all the people who have given delight in book67 from Shakespeare to Mother GooHb, hare people of vivid imagination It makes me feel as if I should like to be John L. Sullivan, and -fell to the earth those commonplace, matter-of-fact critics who dip their peus in acid and write words that mark them asses. SOME PORTRAITS OF AVTHOBS.

Apropos of writers, it is curious to hear the discussions about them when their pictures have been Mr. is extremely picturesque-looking, and a picture of him with an 'orchid innis buttonhole is that of a nuin earnest, bright, imaginative and Two other pictures furnish curious con- trasts; they are those of Jerome JL Jerome and Endyard Kipling. One thing that makes them look alike for a second is that 'each man wears a moustache and eye-glasses, and yet when you look faces closely yon discover how absolutely dissimilar they are. Jerome's face is that of a man who is lovable, and who would be loved by everybody around him. There is a keen sense of humor and a bit of a pathetic look that reminds one, even when he is funniest, how a little pathos will creep in.

He looks like a man who would be delightful to live with-, who would have good and gentle thoughts of all people, and who would do his best wherever he might be. HCDYABD KIPLING'S PACE. Now, Kudyard Kipling. There is an immense amount of originality in that face; it is the face of a man who at 26 is 40, and yet it doesn't look as if he were mirroring his own experiences, but those of other people. It's a face that could be hard, or could be very attractive.

It's a face of a cynical man, but not a cynic. And a cynical man is -the one wh'o is sarcastic at the expense of the world, because his 'dearest friend suffered. To my mind it in a face that suggests that the great knowledge of woman that the man has, has come to him through his acquaintance with an older woman, and I wonder if Mrs. Hauksbee had a prototype in India, and if Budyard Kipling ever knew her well. It is a complex face; you can Keep on looking at it, and you dou't seem to solve the riddle of it; but when you remember it is the face of a man who wrote "Danny Deever," you feel like taking off your bat andbowirigto it.

That's the way the pictures of three well-known men affected me, and I think you will agree with me about them. CHESS IN NEW DRESS. How soon, under the cloak of charity, will a game of chess bo played with the pieces represented by the handsomest of women and the best-looking of men, with small children as pawns? It is the last fad in Loud jn, ana the crush to see the game was something The costumes were founded on dresses of the Tudor period, were perfect in detail, while the red queen and king were absolutely superb. The game was plaved by two expert chess players, and long cold wands were used to touch the pieces as a cue for their moving. This was done in the most stately way, a peculiar slow step being chosen and adhered to by all.

It is a novel idea, and whoever first gets it up here will certainly make much money for whatever charity it may be played for. The most religious person in the world can't object to it. as they might game of poker, while the artist who delights in picturesque effects in seeing beautiful women beautifully gowned will have a marvelous treat for his eyes offered to. him at what seems a marvelously low price. BERNHARDT, THE DIVINE.

Madame £arah, as she has announced she prefers to be called, is once more with us, and once more her marvelous personality has to be acknowlpeed. Putting aside for a moment her great genius, forgetting for. a while how she really makes you feel that she is the character she represents, what woman is there to-day -who has such a strong individuality, an individuality indeed that extends over the world? People who have never heard or never thought of the Czarina of Russia read eagerly every word that is said about Madame Sarah. People who don't care about top- plinp of thrones or the uprising of nations seek for the last new criticism of a play in which she has performed, of the last book that she has approved, or the last picture that has pleased her. It is the woman who commands this and this very fact ought to bring her greater delight than ii it were the eenius, for it proves that, different from all other women, she has yet a that of the her subjects are all over it.

No woman has ever controlled the fashions as she has, and that is saying more than much. She has been written of by the greatest writers of the day; she has been painted by the best-known artists, and, though they come and go, they are here to-dav and there to-morrow, Madame Bernunrdt, like the sphinx, is the same. Except that she is better looking now than when she first came to us, there is bnt little change in her, and the report of the fat, one is pleased to chronicle, is simplv a filling up of the angles that is most becoming. WHEREIN LIES BERNHARDl's STRENGTH. A man asked me if I could understand her; he might as well have asked me if I had a secret of that woman who looks out on the Egyptian sands, who was old when Cleopatra was young, and who has never opened her lips to disclose that which she knows so well.

There has never been a woman like Mme. Bernhardt before. She. like the orchid in its finest state of cultivation, is the product of the nineteenth century. People talk about her wonderful genius, of the tragedy that her life was, but it can never be said of her as it is of Sarah, that she is mistress of anything she wants to control.

1 am firmly convinced that if to-morrow Sarah concluded to go in for grand opera sue would rival Patti, and the whole world would be convinced that there had never been such a voice. Mme. Sarah is a woman of successes, and to success every human being in this world must bow is, this sort of success, the success of the 'intellect, SOME THINGS THAT TIRE ONE. It's the time of year when people don't feel very well and complain of being tired; when the massage woman tells you in broken English that all the people in this country are "so," and raises her hands up high and then puts them way down, and yen realize that she means that one extreme or the other, as far as health or happiness is concerned. Bnt we all do get tired.

I am tired hearing the weather discussed. Ton are tired discussing it. I am tired of hearing people who don't know the first meaning of consideration wonder whether other people live up to their creeds. You are tired of knowing that they don't I am tired of hearing women talk, talk, talk about nothing buttbemrielves, then: gowns and their admirers. You are tired of being among those women.

I am tired of clergymen who trouble themselves about everything but the poor of their parish. You are tired of being the po6r. I am tired of men who talk well and act badlv. Yon are tired of knowing the truth about them. I am tired of politicians who write their promises in the sand.

Yon are tired ol seeing the great ocean come up and wash them away. I am tired of se'eing children who don't respect their parents. You are tired of seeing parents who do not consider their children. Butthere, we will get over the tired feeling after a while; we will take a dose of quinine and sunshine combined, and we will discover that there are things in this world that are good and of which we never babies, sweets, dogs, pictures, music, and good acting. We agree about this.

Please don't say you are tired of BAB. Resolutions ot Respect to Sherman. MADISON, Feb.

Spouner Will Name Him, WASHINGTON, D.

Feb. Day after day passes and still there is no sign of a United States marshal for the Western Wisconsin District. Senator Spooner keeps his own counsel, and all of tbe House members who support Flint are in the dark as to What Spooner's decision will be. There has been some talk about leaving the office vacant until after Spooner's term expires, and let Senator Sawyer settle the matter, bnt this is authoritatively denied. Senator Spooner has said he will settle the matter before the 4th of March.

There is no doubt that but for La Follette's opposition Frank Oakley would, have been nominated some time ago, and the difficulty- no presented is to do something which will avoid conflict with La Follette also, avoid disappointing Oakley. How this may be done nobody seems to know. Spanish Troops Slain. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17.

A private letter received to-day from the Caroline Islands gives an' account of further fighting between the natives and Spaniards, in which the latter were worsted. The Spanish government sent an expedition consisting of three gunboats and one transport against the village of Metalamei. The sailors and troops landed, and after a loss of sixty men made the natives retreat. Tbe" Spaniards were reinforced and six days later attacked the natives. The latter were behind a barricade and were armed with muskets and two small cannon.

The Spaniards were badly repulsed, with a loss of 120 men. It is expected that a general uprising of tbe natives will occur, and the governmentjhas dispatched ships to Manilla for the troops. House Wrecked by Gas. PITTSBURG, Feb. 17.

There is limestone in that section, bnt no further investigations were made for ore. Gives Away Seven Millions. PITTSBURG, Feb. The will of the late J. N.

'The Correct Fit-out Host Possets All These Artistic Gown Designed-by-a Chicago "A Love of a Bonnet" and How it is Trimmed. In these last days of the nineteenth century, Lent without Lenten costumes would be a solecism.

The sign of the toing signified may not be ignored in the world of fashion. Therefore, while the brilliant events that crowded upon each other during the last days of the social season were passing, costumers were busy finishing frocks which should be co-ordinate with the sacred season ushered in by Ash Wednesday. These same frocks put the inventive originality of designers more severely COSTUME FOB LEST. to the test than any others that are made from January to December. Simple, severe, quiet, yet rich and becoming they must be.

As the conventional fashion plates are not a source from which these results can be obtained, quaint, old pictures are sought and studied; the inner consciousness of modists is taxed to the uttermost, and thus it transpires that the most pleasing, Becoming gowns of the season are those made expressly for Lent. "The first state" of the Lenten gown is the one that is put on, together with a demure and modified look, for the regular recurring devotional church service. A most artistic and charming gown of this sort is seen in the illustration. It was designed by a Chicago modiste for one of the season's buds, a beautiful girl of 18. The material is cloth in dark purple plum color and soft purpleVtinted gray, thejnost modish colors, by ttie bye, for Lenten church gowns.

The-front of the bodice is laid In full soft fdlds from the shoulder, and about the waist, extending to the side forms in the back, is a wide pointed girdle of gray cloth, ornamented with nur- ple velvet, appliqned in a conventional design that is outlined with silk cord: The full, round skirt is a trifle more than touching length in the back. A little to the left of the front is a panel of the gray velvet, ornamented with the appliqued velvet the color of the gown. Hear the back is a similar panel which turns and extends a short way along the foot of the skirt. The back of the gown, between the two ends of the. girdle which terminates at the side forms, is a short-waisted princess which gives an unbroken line from collar to hem that is quaintly severe.

A LOVZ OF A BOH3ZT. The valois sleeves are finished at the hand with a pointed cuff of the embroidered gray cloth. The high collar turns away in flaring points from the throat, and a marguerite pocket of the gray embroidered cloth is attached by a ribbon to the girdle and hangs nearly to the foot of the gown on tne right side. A beautiful bonnet shown in foreign fashion plates has a soft crown and strings in sapphire-blue velyet, trimmed at the sides with gold leaves which harmonize with the bird-of-paradise aigrettes both at the front and back. In the center of the brim a puffing is arranged in pale-bine satin.

The round bodices are pleasing to young ladies who are slender enough to dispense with the tapering basque point. One new one has a plain back, high collar, and fronts in two easy folds from the shoulders, leaving a space to be filled in with, sleeve material, which is also used for a girdle laced in the back, where it is two inches and a half wide, and pointed in front, where it is fully nine inches deep, -with a blunt point the waist-line and a sharp one above. It has side and front seams, upon which crochet buttons are sewed in a close row. Boring fbr an WelL to bore another artesian well, eight inches ia diameter, to reinforce the present well which is found to. be inadequate to supply the demand.

Since the killing of Patrick Delaney, the boy employed as a nurse at the smallpox pest-house here, by Officer Miller, some very loud talk against city government methods are heard among the most reputable people of the town. The facts in the case seem faxshow that the shooting of young Delaney was most unwarranted at the least, and the opinion is that Miller should suffer tot it. Stories that the boy was a smallpox patient and not a nurse, and that he was shot to prevent contagion of the dread disease, were concocted by the interested parties for the purpose of covering, up the real facts. Delaney was engaged by the authorities to attend the first case at the pest-house. Liquor was furnished him, it is alleged, and it was when the supply was exhausted that he came down town to satisfy his craving for more drink.

Delaney met Miller in a saloon, outside of which the shooting occurred. The night- watchman ordered him back to the pest-house, but the bov, crazed by the vile whisKy he had absorbed, refused to be dictated to. Miller then drew his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the young fellow's leg. After the shooting the poor youth was placed in irons, and in his bleeding and exhausted condition removed to the pest-house. The incredible brutality shown Mm is evinced by the discovery of the fact that Delaney was left lying in the place over forty-eight hours before the bullet was removed.

Dr. Sharp, of Monona, extracted the oall, and said at the time that his patient would never recover. Blood poisoning had already set in, and Delaney died Saturday from its results. Officer Miller endeavored to explain his action by tbe statement that he shot at the nurse to scare him, and did not mean to hit him, but to fire into the ground. In view of the fact that tho ball struck and lodged in the boy's thigh the people here give this explanation very little credence.

Nine-tenths of the best citizens consider the officer's act a most cowardly and brutal one, and lay the poor boy's death at his door. The city government is weak and faulty from core to circumference. Wisconsin Pensions. The following pensions have been granted to Wisconsin people: 0. Bronson, Peter G.

Tobacco Workers Walk Out. STOUGHTON, Feb. sorters and packers in four of the tobacco warehouses, to the number of 200, went out on a strike yesterday afternoon. A few' went back to work this morning at the former wages, 75 cents per 100 pounds, but the majority still insist upon an increase to $1 per 100. The strikers held a meeting in the Scandinavian Hall this forenoon, and elected a committee of two from each warehouse to wait upon the managers this afternoon, at which time they will offer to return to work at $1 per 100.

Another meeting will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The strikers claim they" can only earn from 73 cents to $1 per day at the present wages. The tobacco buyers say they will not raise the wages, but would have done-BO had the workmen asked an advance instead of going out on a strike. No serious trouble is anticipated.

Conspicuous on the breast of the deceased were his G. A. R. badge, the decoration of the Sons of the American Re volution, and the badge of the Porter Post, of Massachusetts. The face of the dead looked calm and natural, and gave no indication of recent physical suffering-.

About 1 o'clock the house was closed to visitors, and Mrs. Porter and the members of the -family took their last farewell of dead. Tbe casket was closed immediately thereafter. A large American flag, was wrapped around it, and the Admiral's sword and chapeau were placed on the lid. The services for the dead were held at the honse and were conducted by Rev.
