wa Jacsbu had tHE BUSTLE AS FREIGHT A QUESTION 'ill A PUZZLED RAILROAD MEN. THZT WDS't KNOW WHAT TBI MTS-TESIOCS AFFAIR WAS MAD OF ASD HAD TO BE EXUeilTEXEll. An interesting controversy bas been aid tating tbe minds and beans of tbe freight agent of transcontinental railroads, tbe Pool Commissioner, tbe Inter-State Commerce Commissioners, and California dry goods merchant since early In February. And it Is all about bustles. Although this article bad long occupied a place of dignity and prominence in the wardrobe of the properly appareled woman, and ba formed an important item in the business of merchants, manufacturers, cartoonists, and common carriers, it had not, until the July revision, occupied a place on tbe freight tariff.

Then uuclssatfled dry goods psld $3 per hundred freightage to Ban Francisco, while boopskirta, under the classification of wire good, were assessed only 1 50 per hundred. It wm consequently the custom of merchants to ship bustles "wire goods" or boosklrt" indifferently, so describing tbem in the bills of lading and paying the lower rate of cbarges. Thousands or case had thus been auipoed and passed by the freight agent without question, and tbe goods had been sold and gone into circulation, wheu an unlucky manufacturer, in February last, sent to Htiefel, bacbs dc of San Francisco, a cua of tbeM good described in the bills of lading as bustles." The guileless California freight agent, knowing little and professing to know nothing of this mysterious distender of my lady's dress aud supporter of ber skirts aud bopje, looced in vaiu for tbe rate on bustles in the tariff catalogue. He therefore charged the rate on unclassltle'd dry goods of $3 and precipitated the contest br tending In bis Mil. Tbe merchants protested sgainst the payment, aud tbe matter was referred to tbe seueral tratHo managers of tbe roads in New-York.

bouie of these were married men who professed to know something about bustles, for all of their wives were supposed to wear tbem. An elderly gentleman from among the benedicts was indignant over what he termed the low subterfuge" of classing bustles 4 hoonaklrt or wire goods wben there wasn't a bit of wire nor a hoop of any kind about them. He ought to know, for his wife had has worn a bustle for years. Tho article wss made of feathers and cloth; two long narrow bags Just wide enough to to well, to escape being sal on, were sewed together, the larger one below, aud fastened on with strings. Some of the younger men seemed amused at bla description, aud one inquired if old newspapers were ever employed for stulHng Instead of feathers.

A wise-looking man, of mature years and a large family of girls, said that be bad it on the best ot authority that the newspaper bustle existed only in tbe columns of alleged funny papers. A well constructed bustle was filled with curled hair and a still better quality with wool, lu former vears he purchased such articles himself and he felt in a i ne wm an auioorny upon tne sunject. Tbe preponderance of testimony, aitbough It did nut agree aa to details, wm clearly so far against wire goods" and hoopskirts," and the traffic managers seemed about to sustain tbe charge of $3 per hundred, as unclassified dry goods, wben a young married man with a scab on his nose, who had listened thus far without speaking, said he thought there must be something In tbe wire theory of construction. He had gone home a little late tbe week before a little the worse for wear, and was making a msnly effort to get to bed without disturbing his silent partuer, when bis foot caught in something tbat felt like a bird cage about bis ankles, and be pitched forward until be reacbed the mantel, which he found with bis nose. He uttered an exclamation which transformed his silent partner Into one of the most active kind of active partners, and compelled an explanation.

A light being produced, the wreck of the object that had caused him to fall wm brought up for imprecation and analysis. It wm his first offense, and his wife therefore allowed her concern over bis mishap to dominate her indignation over the condition in wblch he presented himself. Bo she plastered his nose and said tbe wreck didn't matter; it could be easily replaced. But Where's the restof It and what's become of the bird asked he. "The bird what do you mean his wife exclaimed.

Wby, isn't that part ot a bird cage be inquired. "A bird cage! Hal ha! why, yes; if I am your little birdie, as 1 used to be that's my bustle," she said. This explanation gave color to the wire goods" theory, but still they were not sufficiently Informed and more light on tbe subject bad to be obtained. After debating various propositions as to where they should go for that light they finally concluded to go to tbe shippers themselves. Here they met Mr.

Strauss, the bookkeeper, wbo explained to them that the bustle of commerce wm composed of wire and hoops and crinoline. In former years they bad been built of cotton and excelsior and hair and wool and feathers and other tilings, but never, he thought, of newspapers. Jiow they were nearly all of wire, and as there was no classifi cation of bustle aud tbe article had superseded uuopsairia. moi ion mat tney were only doing right in billing them as wire goods. At anv rale these were wire goods and thev would maintain their right to their classification as such.

Apples were always fruit, but not ail fruit were apples, and aitbough not all wire goods were bustles, all bustles in this day and generation were aire goods. xnis view prevailed. The elderly married man and tbe wise-looking father of so many daughters looked as tf they had forgotten to remember something, and silently chimed in with tbe general Judgment, and busties were allowed to yass wire goods over their lines, paying 1 50 freight per lOO pounds. But the freight agents were unwilling to give tin comrtletnli- so the have bad the Tariff Commissioners fix the newly cissBiiiou article at 92 per ltiu. A CAPTURED FLAG RE1URNED.

SOCIETY T0P1C8 OF THE WEEK. The three days' storm of the early part of tb week east damper en the suburbs and tb nearer resort that even tbe bright skies and clear air of tbe remaining days could not overcome. It bM been consequently an "off week." socially speaking, and society, save at Lenox, hat had little with which to amuse iUelf, save dlscnslon ot tbe latest development In tbe Marlborough case and Mra James Brown Potter" trouble with ber would-be manager. Newport has had little or nolbtng of incident to narrate. The belie bave flown, and are preparing to fly to the Berkshire, where tbey will meet their sister from Mojut Desert and th other watering place.

A few loiterers are en toying at Saratoga tbe comforts which the hotels afford later than usual, owing to their being kept open for the convention. In the CatskiUs all but the smaller hotels are now closed. Only tbe cottagers remain at Narragansett, and Long Branch Is only a memory. Tbe season bM waned until the merest silver thread Is visible on tbe social bsrizon. All eyes are now turned toward Lenox, where tbe gay et lee of lis brtef Autumn season have begun somewhat earlier than usual.

The subscription dauoe of tbe last two weeks bave been the Jollleat affairs imaginable, and it now looks If tbe Autumn Newport" wm going to eclipse its reeord In tbe way of gayety this year, it is a distinguished company which hM Eathered this Autumn, and diplomats and 'likes, dowagers and dudes, belles and buds tueet one st every turn. Miss Grant and Miss Wlnslow, with Mrs, Paran Stevena, arrived last week from Newport, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney are In the front of all the gayety, and are the honored guest at many dinners. Preparations are being made for tbe annual tub parade, which is going to be more elaborate than usual, and steps bave been taken to prevent its being burlesqued as it was last year by Mr. Louis Webb, who, it will be remembered, followed tbe parade attired in grotesque feminine garments, seated in a bath tub on wbeels drswn by a mule.

There is yet no announcement of the Autumn weddings, which have been so much a feature of this resort for many years, aod it is regretted on ail sides tbat tbe record is likely to be broken in tbls respect Of course, at Lenox as at Newport many familiar faces are missed this Autumn, and many families who last year and the year before were foremost in tbe gayetles are now in mourning. Mr. and Mra Meyer are In mourning for Mrs. McKim, and will be greatly missed. Tbe Misses May, of Baltimore, will also be missed this year, Mr.

and Mr. Beck, formerly Miss Julia May. having sailed for Europe, accompanied bv Mrs. Beck's sister. Miss Lily May.

But Lenox, like Newport, goes on, notwithstanding deserters from tbe ranks of her regiment, and the vacancies are too quickly filled. Tbe tennis tournament which wm held during two days of tbe week on the beautiful lawn of Miss Furniss wm one of the most interesting held this year, and evervbody followed the games from first to last with" the greatest Interest. The scene was even more picturesque and attractive than at Newport last week. Sears, of Boston, was for once vanquished, and laid down his laurels at the feet of Clark and Stevenson. Good weather audrd greatly to tbe charm of the games.

Kngagemeuts aud the Autumn weddings now begla to be announced and to attract interest and attention In society everywhere. During tbe week announcement has beeu made of tbe engagements of Mr. L. Mortimer Thorn, a nephew ot the late W. K.

Thorn, and Mies Lilian Gwynn, a sister of Mrs, Hancock, and of his brother, Mr. Conde Thorn, and Miss Daisy Stuart, of Washington. Both these engagements are the direct results of the season at Narragansett, where tbe young People directly Interested in tbem spent tbe Summer. Miss Gwynn is a slight and handsome brunette who is not yet out, and Miss Stuart it one of tbe liveliest and most vivacious of the younger Washington belles. The engagement Is also announced of Mr.

Charles Hammond, son of Mr. Gardner O. Hammond, of Boston and New-London, and Miss Harriet Lee, of Boston. The cable aanounces the engagement of Miss Jessie Van Augen to a rich tast Indian merchant living in MadrM, India, where, after her wedding this Autumn at her New-York home. Miss Van Anken will go to live.

At Newport during tbe week wm also announced the engagement of Miss Susanne Bancroft and the Viscount de Chaunao Lanzac. These are the principal engagements, Tbe weddings about to transpire come next In order. Mr. Howard Henry and Miss Fannie Stroug will be married early in October at Newtown, Long Island; Miss Slocomb, of New-Orleans, and tbe Count de Brazza, at Stonlngton, on Oct. 12, and Mr.

Russell and Miss Cairns lste in October, while it is probable that several other weddings will be added to these during the golden month. There Is no talk of anything new In the way of wedding ceremonies or costumes. Amid all the changing fashions tbe wedding fashions seem to remain the same. Marlborough's memurandum." as it Is now called, and by which is meant the singular manifesto that the visiting Duke is said to bave Issued at Newport week before last, is still discussed everywhere. It is now claimed to be a forgery, but a Newport correspondent, who asserts himself being entirely cognizant of the matter, declares tbls not to be so.

For the credit of the Duke it is to be hoped that a claim of forgery will be sustained, for it is generally admitted tbat a more puerile production bag been rarely, if ever, penned. The nobleman is, it is said, undecided whether or not to go to Lenox, and there is much curiosity expressed as to the man nei of his receptton there if he doc decide to visit tbe resort a Tho publication this week of a batch of letters written by Mrs. James Brown Potter and her sister. Miss Urquhart, to Mr. Overton, who wished to become her manager, has excited the greatest surprise in society.

One of the letters was so unfortunately worried as to convey an entirely different impression evidently from the one that at first glance it brought to every reader. However Indiscreet Mrs. Potter may have been In writing these letters, there is no voice raised to defend -the man wbo laid them before the public It is generally snoken of as the act of a person devoid, it would seem, of the first principles of chivalry aud refluement, The death of Mr. Kdward Matthews, the father of Mrs. Peter Barlow and Mr.

Brander Matthews, which took place at Newport on Tuesday, and tbat of Mr. Robert Lenox Kennedy, which occurred at sea while returning home from Europe on Weduesday, removed two well known and familiar figures from the New-York society and business worlds. Mr. Matthews, who bad been in failing health for two years past, but wbo had somewhat recovered at Newport this Summer, died very suddenly. His spate, bent figure and snow white whiskers, encircling a kindly face, were a familiar sight for many years past to nromenaders on Fifth-avenue.

Mr. Matthews projected and built some of the first large apartment houses in the city, and wm at all times prominent in real estate mar. ters. Mr. Kennedy was one of the handsomest of New-York's older business men.

He married a second time late in life a Miss Dulles, of Philadelphia, who survives him. and. somewhat singuiany, nis city residence adjoined tbat of Jlr. Matthews on Fifth-avenue, Mr, Kennedy was a prominent n-nresen tricn of thn i.i Scotch Presbyterian element in New-York so-cily. and was a man of rigid religious views.

fept, IT. -There was ach a beavy trust la this section this morning that It conid rraped np with the lisnd from the prank o'clock. Ice on the low id.i tue treeslag polnfe LOST TO THE ART MUSEUM A PA1B OP GOLD BRACELETS MISSING FROM THE COLLECTIOX. Soon alter the Metropolitan Museum of Art wm reopened to th publio Thursday on of tba attendant mad tho startling discovery that a serious theft had been committed la tba south side gallery. An exhibition case containing part of the earto from Cyprus bad been pried open by a thief and tbe soltd gold bracelets, of wblch frequent mention hM bc-en made and which always excited admiration from visitor, were mlaaing.

The thought that possibly tbe valuable armlets had been transferred to ome other cabinet flashed through the mlud of the amazed employe, but the evidence of a bold robbery wa too plain, on aeeond Inspection, to waste any time in sear oh lng the building for the vanished articles. Tbe frail cabinet lock bad been forced, If br a small "Jimmy," which is part of a professional burglar's kit of tool. The implement, however, was not visible. Tbe electrie burglar alarm attached to the oaa wm disconnected, evidently by tbe depredator before he opened the cabinet. Gen.

di Cesnola at onee gave orders to close the south gallery, ostensibly for repair, and notice to that effect were duly posted. Tbe ordor wm also given to keep tb robbery a secret Tbe fact, however, being known to every employe. It was confidentially communicated to outsiders, and yesterday tbe report was talked all nrer the Park. Gen. dt Cesnola declined to make any statement about tbe theft, and Custodian Kellogg wm talkative as the obeliak.

Uniformed attache admitted tbat tbey bad beard ef the loss, but were Ignorant ot the particulars. The bracelets were not catalogued owing to some neglect on the part of the Superintendent. Their cash value Is Two Park policemen are on duty at tbe Museum, one outside, tbe other at the turnstile, whose business is to keep away disorderly persons and prevent visitors from entering wttb canes, umbrellas, or parasols, with which tbey might do damage. These policemen never, or seldom, enter the museum proper, because Gen. di Cesnola prefer to engage his own assistant to protect the valuable collection.

There Is one watchman on the main floor and one for the galleries. Tbe Park police bave volunteered to asalsr, but Gen. di Cesnola bM heretofore believed that be eould get along without their aid. There Is a telephone connection with the Arsenal station in the Park, but the wire la rusty from lack of use. A private watchman patrols the building at nigbt and signals the District Messenger office periodically to show tbat he is awake.

After the robbery was discovered Gen. di Cesnola lost no time la lodging a complaint at Police Headquarters. Inspector Byrnes said yesterday tbat be knew nothing about tbe case. There is little chance of the gold bracelets being recovered if they bave fallen into the hands of an expert, for be hM probably before tbls melted the precious metal Into another form. The supposition that tbe articles were taken by a dishonest attacho in the Museum is under consideration by the detectives.

SVFFEBIXQ FOR WAST OF FOOD. Boston, Sept. 17. Letters have been received by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions picturing a terrible condition of affair among the people of the Clcillan Plain. Asia Minor.

Large numbers of the Inhabitants are starving, and the-source of food supply bM been almost exhausted. Tbe missionaries of the Board at Adana report that since August more than 500 more families have been added to tbe list of those who have to be supplied with bread to sustain life, making 5oo families in all that ars now beiug fed.
