'What? I asked 'Your long bilk with those men don't you know who they are? 'No' I said 'Why they are two of the boodle alderuien you have indicted' I bad often men them before but did not know them by name" I wits reminded of a eurious experience of Col Fellows' chief District Attorney Martino which that gen 'tertian related to me a year or an ago Be bad occiution to put detectives on the track of a notorious character who is known here "the king the jury fixers" who was suppected of endeavoring to "fix" a jury lu a criminal action of some Importance and Mr Martine was anxious to get evidence on which to arraign him The detectives detailed to watch the fellow reported to Mr Martine writing elm morning One day the Die trict Attitrney read to Ws amarAment that he (Mr Martine) bad been omen on the race coume at Jerome Park for a consider able time in the corneae of the "King of the Jury-fixers" "I had known the man fdr years" said the District Attorney "and had not the remoteet idea that be WAS the notorious jury-fixer" The moral of all of which is that It is best In a big city not to make ludiecriminate it be possible! I have not been mach surprised to learn since writing you last week about the comparative beauty of Miss Fortescue and her Miter and Miee Marie Floyd that both the sister and the young American have been dropped from the cast of "Frou-Frou" which Miss Fortescue is now pretending to play Both gm ladies had rehearsed the piece for a fortnight and no objection bad been urged Gee night a dress rehearsal was called and Miss Floyd appeared in a coetuine she had especially prepared for Louise the sit-ter of Frou-Prou She looked extremely handsome it appears for next day the met was changed and both Miss Helen Fortescue and Mies Floyd were dropped I suppose Mies For-fescue recognized the inadvisability of instituting comparisons with both her dramatic ability and personal attractiveness I cannot believe that there is any basis for the permanent success of such an artlet as this incident reveals Miss Illrtescue to be Edward Lamb the comedian who by the way has made a great success with a new play by Mark Price called "On the Rio Grande" gave me the other day the origin of the slang word "chestnut" in such coinmon use at present to designate and pro hibit an old joke or story In a once popular but now forgotten play called "The Broken Sword" one of the characters insists on telling an incident which happened to him while seated under an oak tree AU the other characters in the play insist that it was a chestnut tree and whenever the gar- ruious old fellow begins the story the chorus chimes in "chatted'" The "chest- nut bell" toy by the way lima made a handeome fortune for its inventor and manufacturer Mr Charles Davis of Philadelphia He has made and sold more than half a million of them and the sale of the little nuisance goceonitilk The experiment of sending a thousand men from this city to Chicago to fill the places of the butchers In the stock yards is looked upon here with much concern and anxiety It is regarded by conservative men as a dangerous and defiant expedient The employment of unauthorized policemen like thoee of Pinkerton's is also regarded as extremely unwise policy on the part of the stock yard men I heard a sagacious business man and a good politician remark that the success of Henry George as a candidate for the Mayoralty would have been less to be regretted than his failure after polling such a large vote "Elected" he said "George would have been conservative defeated he and his party become bold and belligerent legielators" Wm i II One of the saddest Feit108 was the depart fire of the ice-cream-rake man Re would fain have tarried but the season forbade Ho has seen his own lucrative trade die away as that of the hot sausage vender grew Re bad revelled amidst green whites and basked in the sunny smiles of fortune Now the cold winds of adversity were blowing merrily through his whiskers and his soul sank within hii lie was sad His every feature told the story of the regret be felt at leaving In his eyes were depicted fondnem affection and sorrow From his open mouth there came like a gasp the tender assurance "I'll see you next summer boys" sira 11 I ts' eg 1 A -J------ 11 1- A 4-4: atc1M mo- )1 I i i -mg-

that attracted moat consideration He seemed to treat the officer with abooluta contempt In fact little interested was be that ha wasn't certain whether he was quietly leaning up against a friendly lamp post or in a cage of living lions As be is held in semibead-up attitude for the arrival of the patrol wagon he was conscious alone of being happy That Nashville is growing to be a metropolis is quite clear It's getting to be a "oho-nu" city Town ways ate fmt disappearing and all the convincing evidences of the dawn of a new era are around The story of her vast manufacturm hanfilled at different times columns allti011t without limit of THZ Amxtucax Grand Institutions of learulug universities colleges academies seminaries- public and private schools and the like have made her the boasted literary as well as musical center of the South The magnificent art exhibition of something more than a year ago has not yet ceased to be a subject of conversation The bdauty of her women the gdliantry and enterprise of her men aresknown She has boasted of the extended limits of her corporation and showed herself to contain 75000 Inhabitants All these and other facts are undenied but there ire on every corner aud street and alley other signs to indicate equally as unmistakably her right to be classed as a metropolitan city It has been only a few years since Nashville was referred to by Tenneeeeans no matter in what part of the State they were met as "town" Meet a man In West Tennessee en route to Nashville and ask him whither he was going and he would answer without a halt "to town" And then the inquirer knew exactly what was meant The people of Memphis and Chattanooga Knoxville Clarksville and Columbia would alike refer to Nashville as a town To-day things are changed The City of Rocks has her garb and extended her limits and is no "town" Her people are city people They live in the city act city talk city and think city They've got far beyond their old town ways and have none except metroplitan ideas If you don't believe this take a stroll around the city some flue afteroon keep your eyes and ears open and see if you don't change your mind A very slow reporter accompanied by Tan ACIERICA141 artist were walking down Church street toward the Public Square a few day ago and saw very queer things The old exclamation "what funny things you me when you haven't got your gun" suggested itself several times to the journalistic couple- over the roads Wituan ban made arrangements with the St Paul Union Stock Yards Company and Minnesota Northwestern Railroad Company to locate their cattle yards on Staten Island and ship directly to Eumpe from docks to be bulit on the Staten ImMnd water front And now he tells me he is contemplating a tunnel under the aareowa by which counection may be made with Long Nand thus enabling trains to run from Montauk Puint to San Francisco without "breaking bulk" If this latter enterprise should ever be carried out it would eventually make Montauk Point a port of entry aud would shorten the time across the Atlantic by a day at least One of the principal events of the season will be the exhibition shortly to open of nkacsy's Before Pilate" This picture is regarded by artists as probably the greatest Wflk of art that has been produced in any country for 200 years The art people are anxiously awaiting the open-log of the exhibition and tickets for the "first view" are in alutost as great demand as cards for a PresideaCs reception Especially is th's the case since it is known that de Munkamy himself is to be here and is to be visible on this occasion Tbe painting is familiarly known even in this country by the numerous etchings engravings and photographs from it but these give little idea of the superb rich colors of the palutings or of the quality in the work which makes the actors in the scene seem like actual living persons The painting is twenty-two feet long and seventeen feet high and with its frame will occupy the whole of the proscenium of the Twenty-third-street Tabernacle where It is to be shown It was here that Salmi Morse bad arranged to give his "Passion Play" and the stage and the general decorations of the auditorium are consequently in harmony with the purpose to which the place is now to be put -It was originally announced that the picture would be shown at the American Art Association's gallery but a contract could not be arranged to the satisfaction of Mr Sedoimeyer the owner of toe picture aud when be learned of the Tabernacle and saw It he considered it a better place for the ex- hibition The picture will not be shown to the public until the artist has seen and approved the arrangements It is thought that the exhibition in this city may be open from three to four months after which the painting will be shown in other large cities throughout the United Stales I sat for half an hour the other day before the large painting of "Nymphs and Satyr" Dy Bouguereau which graces the Hoffman House cafe It was not to admire the plc-titre that I was there watch the pass-lug throng which stopped to gaze upon the painting This cafe has become a resort for men of all shades of opluion and many ladles in the least busy part of the day pass mind the bar and admire the tapeamy paintings and statuary with which the room is profusely decorated The crowd inter-toted me far more than did the embellishments of the gorgeous eetahlishment During that half hour I saw a great many different characters Singularly enough two quite fameus writers came in at almost the same moment Evidently they were aoquainted with each other and both bad seen the Bouguereau for they merely glanced at it One was Ndgar short prim and precise in dress and manner the Mime Atm fat and not precise as to dress Neither of them Indicates by his lookAbe talent he pm seises Next passed John Abbott passenger agent of the Erie Hail-road the neatest dressed man in New York and one of the brightest A group came next composed of Count de Leseeps Prince Napoleon and Prince Kamatsa of Japan accompanied by a number of attendants who looked and acted like lackeys De Lesseps I had met on a previous vbsit and in his cretin manner he came to where I sat and spoke a few words and made several expressive gestures with his shoulders Neither young Napoleon nor Prince Kamatsa struck me as being -superior to the average American and looking at them I thought the breed of foreign nobles was much run down or that of the itadve born Americans had been much improved Edw Stokes looks at his "Nymphs stud Satyr" I time be enters JIM big bar-room At any 'rate I have never seen him in the room that bedid not look at the work I fancy that be looks to see that 06129000 for which he paid $10000 is not injured Stokes is a young man prematurely grey and sat a quiet reserved moody man whose only dissipation backgammon Artist James IL Beard and Joseph Howard sauntered in he former with his patriarchal hair and slow wearied step bit shoulders bent with age the other without much hair of any sort but tall erect and with a jaunty air greatly in contrast to that of his companion Both Beard and Howard are most companionable each with no end of interesting refill11scences and good stories to illustrate his many original ideas Col Thomas Knox Is not a frequent visitor to the Hoffman partly because he Is fonder of the 'otos Club (of which be and Ythitelaw Reid are the mmter spirits who from the stagnation and dry-rot which has overtaken so many of our clubs) and partly because he is a very busy man making no end of books Knox composes his works over a type-writer bat be has to make his correc- tions and alterations with pen and ink and when he gets through with a sheet of type writer copy it is worm looking than a page of Horace Greely's manuscript George Edgar once tragedian now the "fashionable" teacher of elocution to whom go all the young women who are stage-struck or who are emulous of fame aelsociety readereakin to that of Mrs James Brown Potter saunters in with his slow stage stride At the same moment Assistant District -Attorney John Fellows approaches by anotber way and both seat themselves et the table where I rest Two men more unlike lu appearance or more like in talents and -disposition I never introduced to one another than when I made Fellows and Edgar acquainted As we sat there a MOIMUIL later Edwards aed Arthur Chambers two dx-chara pion light-weight prize-fighters passed and spoke to all three of us and then pined Harry Hill the keeper of a theater and ruin-shop so "off color" that the Excise Board will not License the place!

dark frowning upon the ship loads of emigrants whom she Was to have welcomed I sailed down the bay on Sun: day to get a new view of the figure as revealed in a drag sunlight I would advise evety visitor who has theopportutdty and time to make two visits to the statue to go by the Staten Island Ferri to St Georgelanding and re- turn by the same boat pluming near the figure both going and coming a visit to the statue itself will convey only an Idea of Its immense preportions but seen from Staten Island or from one of the Staten Island boats the symmetry and picturesqueness of the statue are revealed It is so lofty that tone of the highest build lupin New York or Jersey City obtrude be -1 a tween it and its outs proper back ground the heavens When the skies arvoloudless the statue boo clearly revealed aginst them as to define every outline and display their splendid proportions By the way every i observant person taking this trip will notice 1 with curiosity the singular
