H. Trevor, a AN EQUININE WONDER. The Noted IIors Linns to Bo Seen at the Dime This Week. One of Manager Bradenbnrgh's secrets of success during the Lenten season is that lie invariably books the strongest attractions to appear at the Ninth and Arch Museum during that period. The first to make its first appearance in Philadelphia is tne ceieoratea equine wonder, Linus, which will be on exhibition for a short time, beginning to-niorrow.

Linus is looked upon as one of the w-onders of the nineteenth century. Many a horse with a fine build, a fast record, or a pedigree three or four yards long has been on exhibition before, but never until late years has so remarkable an animal made its appearance upon the stages of the country. The horse is of (rood breed, being three-fourths Clyde, one-eighth French, and one-eighth Printer. The remarkable features of this wonderful animal are the tail, mane and forelock which measure twelve and ten feet respectively. The horse is chestnut in the possessor of a beautiful head, and the forelock, mane and tail are white, the growth of hair being thick and decidedly silken.

He is but eight years of age, and was bred in Marion, Ore. He was pur chased by Messrs. C. H. and H.

W. Eaton, of Calais. about a year ago for the fabu- lous sum of $100,000, a figure which is vouched for by the leading turf journals of this country. Since gaining possession of mm the Eaton orotners nave been onereu considerable more than what they have paid for him, Mr. II.

C. Flood, a California lover of horse flesh, having offered $113,000 for him within the past two months. He and his groom travel in a private car, and he is to-dav the only horse in the world that was ever granted an accident policy, the amount of insurance against accident being $50,000, and an additional policy for a like sum against fire being carried by his owners. i In order to place him in the curio hall of the museum, it will be necessary to build six treads on which he will climb to the top floor. He is docile and surprisingly intelligent.

In addition to Linus, there will be other remarkable features on exhibition who will command more than the ordinary attention of the visitors. Px-ominent among the new arrivals is Emilia Hill, the heaviest fat lady that ever climbed a museum staircase. Among the many charms of which Emilia is the happy possessor are a pretty face and a tongue which is ever ready to converse with her visitors. Flora Austin is the name of a mysterious miss who, by some unknown power, has acquired the art of mind reading. This will be Flora's first appearance here, but she has created a furore wherever she has appeared.

Captain Sliller. the interesting hero of the battle of Wounded Knee, Annie Leak Thompson and others will amuse and delight the spectators. Notwithstanding the Strong bill secured for the curio hall, Slanager Bradenburgh announces the first appearance In his cozy theatre of Kokin's Imperial Japanese Troupe, who are said to be Rmong the most daring and agile acrobats and gymnasts ever brought to this country. Perfume L'rarone. A dainty and novel gift lately received from Paris by a young Boston girl is a box of perfume.

Not a box of bottles of perfume, hut an exquisite hand-painted, gold-bound box of parfums solidifies, perfume in the form of little sticks or crayons. The good feature of these is that they can beap-plied without moistening or in any way injuring a delicate fabric. If the possessor can get her own consent to depart from that good old rule, "the best perfume is no perfume at all" (and most women confess to a lurking fondness for "a delicate perfume, a very little, you she rubs the cravon lightly on her hanakerchief, her gloves or her bouquet of satin vioiets, and goes sweetly on her way. Alice L. Clakk.

Her First Cake. She measured out the butter with a very solemn air: The milk and sugar also; and she took the greatest care To count the eggs correctly and to add a little bit Of baking-powder, which, you know, beginners oft omit. Then she stirred it all together and she baked it full an hour: But she never quite forgave herself for leaving out the flour. K. XV.

Sylvestcr, in Judge. i THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. Those Who Pay lor It Ought to Be Consnlted. To the Editor of The As a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, I am of the opinion that the utterances contained in the Evnung lel.cijraofi, of the 3d instant, in regard to the erection of the Washington Monument in Independence Square should not be allowed to pass without criticism. The societv is about turning over to the city as a gift a monument costing in the neighborhood of two hundred thousand dollars.

The society believe that they have some voice in the selection of its site. They selected Independence Square. City Councils were notified of this fact, and an ordinance permitting the erection upon that site was presented" and passed bv both branches of Councils. The language of the editorial referred to, would seem to indicate that the society had been endeavor- ing to procure by the passage of he ordi- nance municipal legislation by improper means and lor improper purposes. A moments reflection should make clear that the society has no personal interest nor selfish end to subserve, and to charge the donors of a gift of such magnitude with approaching members of Councils is without parallel.

The tact Is that no member of the society knew of the passage of the ordi nance until it was accomplished. What the motive for the antagonism of the Evening 'xelegraph is, does not appear, nor why they should be procuring opinions of counsel in opposition to the society. The Act providing for the conveyance of the square to the city certainly "provides that "the same shall be and remain a public green and walk forever," and forbius the erection of buildings. A statue or monument intended to be simply ornamental is not a "building" within the intendment of the Act. If it be, then the large fountain supplying ice water to the public, in the square at present, is also such a building.

lor it serves a useiut as well as an ornamental pr.rpose. If the language of the Act is to be taken in this strictly literal sefcse, there has been another ofl'ense committed in permitting many colored flowers to be cultivated, when the act stipulates that the square shall be forever a "public green." The virgin sod should never have been touched. Again, we finda violationin the presence of benches in the square if it be necessary that the square shall remain a "walk forever." When drawing narrow distinctions it is always well to reimimbcr that there is snch a thing as straining at a gnat and being forced to digest larger representative of the animal kingdom. The statue has been long delayed in erection, and there seems to be a portion of the community who would have it still longer delayed, or perhaps by their opposition compel its erection in another city.

Porter. Philadelphia, March 5. The Olfi-Tim Xecklace. The modem necklace becomes more and more resplendent: still there is a fancy for the simple old necklets that girls wore fif f.y years ago, where a tiny gold chain supports a heart'or locket. The prettiest of these necklets have an enameled flower, diamond tipped, and with a diamond heart.

Such a pretty one the girls with sweethearts are wearing now, with a four-leaf clover for luck, enameled in the exact gray-green tints of the leaf and with diamond dew. Housekeeper Weekly. A Lucky Stone. If vonr sweetheart isgivingyon a ring for good luck, and you are to have the choice, let it be an oval moonstone surrounded with small, clear diamonds. This stone, more than any other, has the reputation of bringing hnppiness.

and even if you do not consider this the ring itself will be found a most effective one, the diamonds bringing out the many cciors in the moonstone, and the moonstone returning the compliment by intensifying the brilliancy of the diamonds. iodic' Home Journal. The Weddinsr RIncr. How mnny women who fondly love the golden symbol of their wedding vow know-why they wear it on the third linger of the left hand? That particular digit was chosen because It was believed by the Egyptians to be directly connected by a slender nerve to the heart itself. And these ancient worshippers of Isis held this linger sacred to Apollo and the sun, and therefore gold was the metal chosen for the ring.

All thins must have an end, and so it is with society. With the advent of Lent came an almost cessation of festivities, and there remains hardly anything else but the recollections of the first half of a glorious season of gayety. Naturally one grows weary of an incessant round of pleasure Bucli as marked the winter of and the penetential period comes as a relief to those who make up the social world. After the first few weeks have passed away there will be, no doubt, little luncheons and dinners and the other etceteras that will help to relieve the days of inactivity for they will be that when the quietness has become monotonous. Ash Wednesday week is always decidedly dull and this one differs verv little from its predecessors.

There have been a few dinners, some amateur theatricals and other entertainments, but they occurred mainly on Monday or Tuesday. Several weddings occurred and they are duly recorded. One of the few notable events was the appearance of the Philadelphia Amateur Comedy Club at the New Centurv Drawing Room on Tuesday evening in V. s. Gilbert's admirable comedy, 'Tom Cobb." The assemblage was large and fashionable and the players were liberally rewarded for their excellence.

still a very jonng organization the club includes among its a. tive members quire a number who have more than a local reputation for cleverness in stage impersonations. With this advantage it made its initial bow in December at the West Philadelphia Drawing Room, when "No. 1, Around the Corner," and "A Box of were presented. Kven then great things were promised for the performers, and when the audience gathered Tuesday evening prepared to attend an enjoyable entertainment, their expectations were fully realized.

Well, the season is over now. It has been a lively one, perhaps the liveliest New York has ever seen. Some people, however, are wondering what it all amounted to and whether they have received an adequate return for their expenses for entertainments, etc. Everybody in the Four Hundred is not, yon know, rich enough to spend $50,000 a season in entertaining nnd never miss it. That's how much it cost the Bradley-Martins.

There are, however, some people in society with blood as blueas cun be whilethey have hard work to make both ends meet. Some of them gave entertainments more lavish than they could well afford in order to help their daughters secure an eligible parti. society matrons are. however, wondering just now whether the game is worth the candle. There have beer, plenty of weddings this year indeed, an unusually large number but few of them were due to the opportunities afforded for flirtation by a dance or dinner.

The trouble is that there are usually not more than eight really eligible marrying men at the average dances ot the smart set. The other men in the room are simply asked because they are good dancers. Most of the eligible do not care for dances. They get tired of admiration, and cling to their clubs: still others, however, are too wise to marry. They are spoiled and rather enjov the sensation of being petted and courted by mothers and daughters.

There were quite a number of weddings on Tuesday though. Several women became brides just before the arrival of Lent. The wedding of Miss Helen Hay Downing and William Percival De Witt was the most notable. St. Thomas' Church prohably never held as many palms, roses and lilies.

ine brides gown was one of the most beautiful we have seen this vear. It was of very rich white satin with flounces and draperies of point lace caught with gai- anus oi orange Diossoms and on the cor sage many diamonds. Her point lace veil was held with a wreath of orange blossoms and sprays ot diamonds, and she carried a Douquet or white orchids. The season was formally closed on Mon day night, when the third and last Patri archs ball was given, just as it opened on iTOiiiuera witu tne nrst l'atriarcns Dan There were only some 3.V) guests present. many of those on the list having left the city.

There were, however, an unusually large number of out-of-town people present. The cotillion was danced in the continuous English fashion for an hour and a half. i'he Patriarchs' dances have been the leading subscription balls of the town for twenty years. They are unique In that they are organized and controlled bv man kind. There are always a large number of applications for any vacancies on the sub scribers list, and this vear iroes on record as the first in which no vacancy has oc- cu rren.

New York society is becoming so luxur ious that next season the subscription amounts must be increased to meet the demands. There have been many complaints oi tne scanty lare ana iavors cms season, and so there must be a change. Of course. tnose who uo not wish to subscribe can drop out and make room for the many more liberal people who are anxious to become subscribers. lien one minus or tne millionaires on subscription affairs are less lavish than most private entertainments.

While watching the women at the Patri- arens oau i wondered whether woniHn uresseu i0r each other or for the benefit of men. uno young woman to wnom put the question said thut it was for women. If for men, she said, societv would simply be a gigantic corps ue oaiiet. tmnic she was right. Some of the prettiest dresses are worn at affairs hich are exclusively for women.

I he three best dressed women in town are Mrs. William Douglas Sloane, who is said to spend an enormous amount money on her toilet: Mrs. Theodore A. Havemeyer, who is the best customer of the most expensive modiste in the city, and Mrs. Ogden Mills, who is always beautifully gowned.

The three principal diversions of society people during Lent are Badminton, bowling and sewing, the latter being supposed to bo a sort of peuauce. A number of bowliug clubs have been organized by women in the smart set, and the Badminton Club has been reorganized during Lent every vear. Last champion was William Wain-wright, and he hopes to win this year's tournament. Each meeting is followed by a tea. The Lenten sewing circles are unusually large this year.

The arrangement is for girls to take home sewing as well as sew at the sessions of the circle. In this wav they manage to do more work. Gossip takes up too much time under the old rule. w. x.

H. Two Famon Women. A writer on medical women claims that there is not an institution of learning, not woman's club or a woman's art class, not a university law school or woman's annex, not a diploma granted at Barnard's or a certificate of proficiency given at Harvard but owes its existenee.its toleration and its triumphs to the courage of Emily and Elizabeth Blackwell. of England and New- York, and the other women students of ISM, who demanded recognition, and placo and honor in the medical world.

Washington, March 5. The exceptionally long season which merged from memories of gayety into the solemnities of the Christian calendar commemorated in Ash Wednesday and the period which follows, has been one of the most brilliant in the long line of years since January 1, isol, when President and Mrs. Adams began the official gayeties of the Federal capital in the then unfinished Executive Mansion during the closing weeks of that administration. Already a number of residences have been begun which will outshine the creditable showing already made. Senator Sherman in another season will have his new residence completed.

The residence of Mr. Leiter, of Chicago, is nearly ready for interior adornment. The next Washington season will, therefore, be more of a brilliant realization than ever before. The changes in the personnel of administrations, whether from party victories and defeats or in the accession ot a new Chief Executive without the overturning of party supremacy, will simply introduce new characters in the drama. The relegation of Senators and Representatives to the shades of private life and the substitution of new men and new women to do the social honors of the legislative department ot the government will hardly make a ripple except in their newness to the established pleasures and usages of the social world.

Ceaseless change is one of the essential elements of the official phase of Washington fashionable life, and one sense it is one of its attractions. This change also has its political and social advantages in the broader sense of making the people and their institutions more homogeneous under the central inspiration of the dominant influences of the seat of administrative government. The sway which the politico-social life of Paris, London, Berlin, Rome, St. Petersburg and Vienna has exerted in the higher social autonomy of those nationalities' is more powerfully felt from Wash ington throughout the Republic, because every man in the land has the way open to him "for political honors, from President down to the humblest place, nnd every woman may some day figure as part of the official gay life of the capital. In private life every citizen, man or woman, entitled to goo! society at home can share in the social pleasures of Washington according to theirstation.

Itis one ot the patriotic phases of capital society that political parties are unknown. Every section, every creed and every shade of political belief is represented, but under the fusion of social intercourse lines are uuknown. The romantic exploits of the ancient Nimrodand tlio more effective results of the modern ramrod have been eclipsed in unerring and deadly breech-loader of io-urty. ne lurry ana tne leatuereu triue have no show against the devices and implements of the modern chase. The President, from the accounts received at the Executive Mansion, is enjoying his outing after the aquatic fowl of the estuaries of the southern coast of Virginia in uninter- rnpted snort.

While he is bringing down the toothsome canvasback on the water he is accomplishing similar results by less de .1... structive methods upon the ancient moss-backs of the land. The hospitality of "Old Yirginny" is going out to the President and Mrs. Harrison in its old-time magnitude, and is accepted with satisfying and appreciative pleasure. The President has an ancestral interest in the Old Dominion in which betakes a jnst pride, and the people of the ancient commonwealth of Washington.

Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, the Randolphs and a host of others showed their appre ciation ot the tact by very nearly giving mousiinu votes womu nave given tne great i grandson of Benjamin Harrison, one of the signers of the Declaration ot Independence, the electoral vote ot his ancestral State. The friends of Miss Janet Elizabeth Richards, in recognition of her untiring efforts in behalf of many charities and social enterprises, ami the cheerful assistance she has in so many instances extended to others, planned for her a testimonial entertainment on Wed'iesdav night, which started out well. lor the intellectual and Ammergau, which she witnessed, and ith which she has gratuitously entertained seven largo audiences. The lecture was illustrated with stereop-ticon views of the famous play, which gave the entertainment a realistic interest. The evening was also diversified by vocal und instrumental music bv Mrs.

'Annie Louise Powell and Mr. Oskar Krutzsch. Sirs. Senators Carlisle, Vance, Dolph, Sirs. Dal-zell.

Burrows and many other ladies of social distinction were present. Siis Frances Benjamin Johnston, a young lady well known in Washington society, 4ias created quitea flutter among the masculine and feminine admirers of aimlied talent in young women, by a verv SKiiiiuilv iiiustrated and well-written article entitled, Through the Coal Country with a C.unera." Pennsylvania has many features of absorbing interest to "the outer world, and especially at Washington, where the State is so largely nnd so well represented, but her industrial and pre-eminent development in mechanical, mining, manufacturing, and agricultural activity gives her a foremost place in the line of states of the I'niou. Miss 8 inrougii tne coai country she pictures and tells the story of her ad venture with great interest in print. This young lady is another of Washington's successful women. She spent two years in the art schools of Paris, most of her time in Julian's atelier, with the idea of becoming an illustrator.

When she returned to Washington she assisted in organizing the present Art Student League and taught, there three years. At the same time she began to furnish illustrations to some of the newspapers repressnted at the National Capital, which led to some very fine work in the line of photography for quick utilization in newspapers and magazines. In this lino of enterprise she contributed illustrations to the Voxmmtolita Century, Frank Ia-xUp, Once .4. Weak, the II-liiMfrofeff American and other periodicals. Her photographic rendition of "Homes Under the Cleveland Administration." and "Mr.Cleveland's Cabinet Ministers in Their Private Offices." were considered good hits in illustrative journalism.

Her photographs of the interior of a Pennsylvania coal mine, and a series of flash-light pictures of the interior of the subterranean wonders of the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky are masterpieces in their line. Miss Johnston was probably the first woman to make underground photographs, nnd the Kentuckians women and men in Washington pronounce hers of their great fuvo the finest ever taken. Washington is a fruitful field for kodak and camera enterprise, as evidenced by the good, bad and mdiflereiit pictures of Washington in animate and inanimate nature spread broadcast over the country through the metropolitan and provincial press and syndicate matter. The Easter festivities and the spring-tide gayeties wiU be much enlivened by several brilliant society weddings. The most im- portant ot these will be the marriage ot Miss Etta Brewer to Sir.

James Karruck, of Boston. Sliss Brewer, since the elevation of her distinguished father to a sent on the Supreme bench, has been a favorite belle not only in tho court circles but among the maidens of the official and Congressional ranks. She has shared with her mother the social duties of her father's home, and in the comparatively brief period of her residence at has made a wide circle of friends. The Supreme with the infusion of younger blood into its personnel, is more of a factor in t4e younger social life of the capital. Chief Justice Fuller leads the way with seven daughters.

Outof this interesting group of household feniiuinity.four have become brides within two years. The remaining daughters, Jane, Catharine and Fanny, afford anticipations of debutante entertainments and social gayeties in the Fuller household. The young ladies are still in their school years, but the coining summer will find Miss Jane ready to enter the next stage of a young woman's life, her coming out. The court circle has another beautiful daughter in Miss Grace Harlan. Justice and Mrs.

Harlan are the largest and finest looking couple in Washington. Miss Grace is a tall, willowy blonde, with a face strongly resembling her father. It is with much pleasure that the friends 1 I Mr. and Mrs. M.C.
