Sew York Recorder. When a reporter called at 12 West Fifty-first street, about 11 o'clock yesterday morning, there was many people in the street looking up at the house, for everyone knew that the presidentelect was in the room. Mrs.

Cleveland flitted through the hall in a silk striped waist and blue serge skirt. 4'I am afraid the newspapers will tire the public with their continual reference to Baby Ruth." she said pleasantly. "I have just sent her to the nursery for her moraine bath. Just as the reporter was leaving, a pretty girl about 12 years old. attired in a crimson gown, light jacket and stylish hat, was announced as Jessie C'askie.

Mrs. Cleveland received her graciously. Jessie said she wished so much they had a baby at their house like Baby Ruth; so she had come to ask Mrs. Cleveland if she could not see the baby. Mrs.

Cleveland said that she was sorry that Ruth had just gone to the nursery, and Jessie expressed much sorrow and disappointment. Mrs. Cleveland then sweetly kissod her. "You shall see her, said the wife of the president-elect, "if you will come when she is awake, but I would rather you would not mention your visit, as there are so many little folks who might like to come, and I could not grant their requests, yet would not like to refuse them." The reporter asked Jessie if she would like to become a president's wife when she grew up. "Xo, indeed." she replied: "1 am going to be an actress, and a good one.

I've studied elocution for a year, and in two years more expect to be heard from." "How did vou come to call on Baby Ruth?" "Well, I like babies, and wish so much we had one at our house. They call me baby at home, and, with my prospects, it is too bad to be called baby. I told ma at breakfast that I wished we had one like Baby Ruth. Ma said, as I had never seen Ruth, how did I know I should like her; so I though I would call. I am glad Mrs.

Cleveland received me so nicely, because now they cannot laugh at me, and I shall certainly call after school to see the baby." Jessie is a pretty, graceful child, quite self-possessed, and acted as if calling on the president-elect's wife was an everyday occurrence. She lives at '0(; West One Hundred and Sixteenth street with her parents. She has one married sister. She is in the third grade iu the grammar school, and is considered a bright scholar. One Book He Snent Lots of Money to I Suppress.

Albany, X. Dec. 4. Jay Gould wrote a book in 1856, and 30 years afterward endeavored to suppress it by buying up every copy he could reach and that money could buy. He would pay any price demanded for the book, and perhaps to-day not a dozen copies of it are in existence.

Gould had agents to go about Delaware county buying up his book wherever a copy could be found, and more than one farmer sold his copy for a good round sum. But one copy found its way into the State library here, and it is as much of a curiosity as are George Washington's surveying chains, his watch guard and sword, that are kept in a glass case in the rotunda of the State library. Gould's book is very closely guarded by the attendants of the State library, and once in your hands an attendant watches that book every moment until it is handed back again. The title of the book is: History 01 Delaware Cocstt axd Bop.dkr Wars of New York, Coxtainiso a Sketch of thb Karly Settle vests in the C'OCMTY A HlSTOEY of the Late Anti-Rent ix Delaware, with Other Historical aud Mt8CEtLAJEOrs Matter Xkvkr UErrRF. PriStlSHED.

By Jay Gorto. Roxbnrv: 1 Keenv A Gould. Publishers. 1856. I The reason why Mr.

Gould was so anxious to suppress his book was that in dwelling upon the anti-rent difficulties he gave expression to opinions that were sadly at variance with his practices after he became a rail way king. The book is cleverly written, and contains nearly 300 pages. It is dedicated to the Hon. Amasa J. Parker, the veteran judge of Albany county, who died a few years ago.

Gould was but 20 years old when he wrote this book, but "it show him to have been at that age a ready and forcible writer. There is another book in the State library of which Jay Gould is the reputed author. It is "A Biography of Zadock Pratt of Prattsvillo, X. Y. Tanner, Farmer.

Banker and Legislator." The author's name does not anpear, but in the dedication he savs: ''To the citizens of the United States of America this volnme is respectfully inscribed by the author." The l.ook is alleged to have been written in lS'W. This was the year Jay Gould was i born, but Melville Dewey, State librarian, I in his official catalogue of books, giving tho names of authors, has marked Jay Gould as the author of the biotraphy and has had his name written upon the title page of the liook as the author. Jay Gould always said he never wrote this book, but on the other hand it is alleged that he did, and that the date of its publication was "set back" to 1S.T6 shortly after its publication in 157, when a new edition was printed for that purpose. The similarity of the writing in the biography and in Gould's History of Delaware county is most striking. It clearly looks as if both were the work of the same pen, and the same genius for original verse to preface chapters in the Delaware history is even more marked in Pratt's biography.

In the latter book is an appendix by the author of three poems, entitled "The Hemlock Tree," "The Tanner of Prattsville," and "The Tanner." In introducing "The Tinner" the author says "it is adapted to to the tune of the Marseilles hymn." This is the first stanza of "The Tanner:" A word of cheer to the hearty tanner. And a blessing on his trade! A hemlock bouah should be his banner. Over all The land displaved. Amid the forest giants winding He marks the noblest for his spoil; While far awav the hunter's coil Kound the wild bull's neck is binding. Work on.

ye woodsmen all. And let the axe resound! Work on! jov to the land Where workingmen abound! What authority the State librarian has to pronounce Jay Gould the author of Pratt's Biography is not made historically clear, but he is on record in the State library archives as the author, and ths two books are pointed out as Jay Gould's books. A FIME9IAX KILLED. John Gray, After 20 Years Service, Is Ground to Pieees. John Gray, a Ft.

Wayne railroad fireman, was killed at the Washington avenue (Allegheny) crossing of that road last evening. Gray was attempting to board a shifting engine wdien he in some way missed his footing, and falling under the engine, was literally ground to pieces. The deceased was 45 years old, single, and had been employed on the road for 20 years. Coroner McDowell will hold an inquest to-day.

How is it that in the midst of all this talk about fashions changing you can g0 out and see a girl in a get up which is not a bit new or startling, and she will seem just the all-rightest thing you can imagine? Lucky all girls cannot do that, or "fashion" would go out of fashion. That pretty notion of a loose jacket over a silk shirt and a plain skirt is too pretty to ever go out, I fancy. Don't be a bit afraid to get one for winter wear, even if you did do it all summer. I saw one in rich red, the jacket edged with a narrow cord of blue. The skirt was blue, and around the collar and down the front was a band of plaid in r.

blue and red. Even the cut of her sailor hat reminded one of the summer girl (such a nice thing to be reminded of), though it was felt instead of straw a dark blue felt, with a red ribbon around it. Her waist was big and comfortable, and clasped by a band of the blue and red plaid. The finishing touch to the get up, that which made you remember that it was not a left-over from summer, was the beautiful feather boa she wore. The rig was not a bit expensive, apparently, but that boa gave it away.

It was made of feathers, mixed blue and rea, just to match the gown! Xow, either she was awfully rich or wickedly extravagant, thought I. for that boa cost fully f40, and it is meant only for that one dress. Maybe she has a bca for each dress. Lucky girl! Maybe, in spite of taste, she is going to make that one do for any dress. Still, I thanked her as I went on for helping to keep in the popular mind that most serviceable and stylish cut of dress.

Long live the jacket and silk shirt style! Long live comfort and jauntiness combined. Gloriaxa. Color Boxes For Presents. We can fit out anything from simple box for children to complete "artists' outfit," for china, oil, water color, crayon or pastel worN. See our ''art department." Jos.

deo-Mw-2t OP Mrs. Theresa Lyncli is One or the Best in America. All persons familiar with diamonds and the trade in precious stones are ever ready to acknowledge that Mrs. Theresa Lynch is a most skilled expert. She is now" at the head of one of the largest establishments iu New York, 1 and 3 Union square, corner Fourteenth street, and yet she commenced business in a very humble way.

Early iu life she purchased a small diamond, much to the anger of her father, who regarded the purchase as an act of extravagance. But when she sold it at a fine profit the parent saw that his daughter had the true business instinct, and had not been guided by a mere love of personal adornment. Thereafter she was allowed to use her earnings (she worked for her living) in her own way. Ry industry and good investments she managed to save enough to lay a deposit on some diamonds that were sold to close up the estate of a Southern lady. She sold them to a dealer, realizing a handsome profit.

Soon afterward she gave up the position in her father's fruit store, but continued buying and selling diamonds. Tu the year 1814 a jeweler on Broadway, by the name of "Louis Andrieh, died, leaving the business to his widow, who sold it to Mrs. Lynch, trusting her with almost the entire amount agreed upon; and from that small jewelry store she to-day has one of the lamest establishments the kind in the world. In the capitals of Europe her knowledge of precious stones has gained for her the distinction of being known as the 'Diamond tueeu."

5. The Times, speaking editorially on the monetary conference, says: "It is not going too far to say that the monetary conference has already resulted in failure. When it was found that the Americans were not prepared to make the first move, the conference kindly accommodated them. Mr. de Po'hsehild's proposals are a mystery, unless be wished to force the Americans to realize and admit that except there was universal bimetallism there was 110 arrangement, which would suit them.

If they were of this Machiavellian character, they have apparently succeeded, for already in America a strong objection has arisen to continuing the purchase of silver. The childish talk indal-jed in two years ago respecting the ability of America to act in defiance nf the elementary principles of economics, lies been abandoned in the presence of the plain fact that the res ha 111 law is not dead, and that inferior money still drives out. better money if given a chance. It is protvthle that there will be a sharp fall in silver when it is recognized that the conference will have no result." BE I' It VOI KSOff. The Anknard I'osilion the School Tear hrr 4.ot Into.

As a minister he has the best interest of the church at heart; as a clergyman and citizen he works for moral improvements; but as a private citizen he will probably now doubt the success of the late move on the part of the department of public safety. It is a pity that two such estimable men as Francis Murphy and Rev. E. R. Donehoo should find it necessary to get into each other's wool.

In their respective lines of work they have been of great benefit to many people in this community, and each enjoys a large measure of public respect. It would be much better for them to put their heads together to devise effective means of dealing with social problems rather than say sharp things of each other in' meetings and allow their hotheaded followers to take up the cudgels for them whenever they take a rest from the exhilarating occupation themselves. Let Donehoo and Murphy shake hands. The fact that four Democratic congresses have authorized the building of 30 warships at a total cost of about while two Republican congresses have a credit of 14 ships at a cost of tends to show the non-partisan audpurely patriotic zeal of the Democratic party to secure a strong navy. While it is hardly worth while to attempt to rival either England or France in this respect, there is no reason why the Democratic party cannot make the United States the third naval power of the world.

To reach this point our navy will need about 120 effective ships of all classes. At present there are 40 ships, exclusive of torpedo boats," so that it will be seen the country has now at least one-third of the required number. KII.GORES I SCO ME TAX BIL.I,. Kilgore of Texas, the man who put his foot through the door of the house at Washington during the reign of Czar Reed, is agitating the question of imposing a national income tax. Like all his utterances, the one on this matter is forcible and to the point.

He shows how the rich men of the country escape their just share of taxation because they keep their wealth locked up in stocks and bonds and in other ways that cannot be reached by the present tax laws, and he cries out loudly against the injustice of such a state of things. The poor man who has managed by economy and self-denial to possess himself of a little home must pay taxes on it that often make his property almost as burdensome as if he paid rent, while the millionaire, whose hardest work often is cutting oft coupons with a pair of sharp shears, pays nothing for his wealth. It is his own, absolutely, with nothing due the country from him on its account. If a man is in business, and leads an active life which benefits the community by giving employment to labor and skilled artisans, he is forced to pay a business tax. lie is not allowing his money to lie in vaults and strong-boxes, and therefore he must pay.

But the coupon-cutter, whose money does no good to anyone but himself, escapes all this, and contributes nothing toward meeting the expenses of the government. When Kilgore returns to Washington the chances are that he will introduce a national income tax bill, and project his powerful personality after it with such determination that he will make it tell in the house. That is Kil-oore's way. Till: MISRAL INIO.V HO(OIIi With 83.000 In the Treasnry find All Quarrels Adjusted.

Knvrine tstraUoi lives in the Dull' Laws Not Only to Pnnish the Gnilty, but to Protect the Innocent. "The Message of the Bible to Judges and Magistrates" was the subject of Rev. J. D. Sands's discourse at Fourty-fourth street United Presbyterian church last night, based on the sixteenth and seventeenth verses of the first chapter of Deuteronomy: "And I charged your judges at that time, saying, hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

Ye shall respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's, anil the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it." These words, said the speaker, were the language of Moses, the divine law-giver. The laws are made not only for the punishment of the guilty but the protection of the innocent, and the. words of Moses were applicable to the social evil hich has been thecar.se of much comment recently. The central idea Mr. Sands conveyed was that while mercy should be shown the erring, the laws were primarily for the protection of the innocent, and society in general.

This, he said, was righteous law. It was all verv well to talk of love and mercy, but the Bible teaches that a man should first be brought to conviction and then mercy may be shown. It was so in the present iustanee. It had been said that the Christian people of Pittsburgh would protect and care for the unfortunate women who were defying the law. What really had been promised was an asylum for those women who were truly despondent.

It was foolish to suppose that it was ever contemplated to provide and care for an indiscriminate mimlwr of colored as well as white women, unless they were repentant ami evinced a firm disposition to reform. There had been too much sickly senti-j mentality about this thins. At first it was said there were 3,000 of these women, but lloger Mara now says there are only M17. He supposed by the end of the week I there would be none at all. The words of Mos.

were addressed to the judges and magistrates who administer the law, and while jt is natural to suppose a man is likely to Ik- influenced by feelings of sym- ithy bard to resist, at the same time all should have a strong conviction of justice justice not alone to the transgressor, but i to the public for whose benefit and pro-; tectum the laws are framed. he eoi Ln I'lioorcrc.

i.esides virtually breaking up a play at the New Haven opera broke into a dime museum and played havoc with the proprietor's chattels, and tried unsuccessfully to effect an entrance in a fair, but were repulsed by a party of doorkeepers who, armed with clubs and base ball bats, drove them back. One of the students received a wound on the neck by the blow of a shovel. A restaurant was next visited. Here the rowdies overturned all the furniture and compelled a young woman to stand on a table and make a speech. En masse the freshmen then repaired to the campus and indulged in a rush with the sophomores.

The celebration concluded by the freshmen breaking a number of windows in the "Old Brick Kow. Four of the party were arrested during the evening and will be tried in the city court to-morrow morning. The Yale faculty will investigate the matter, and a number of expulsions are inevitable. PROTECTED HERSELF. A YOUNG LADY STRUCK A MAX IX THE OPERA HOUSE.

Seated by her side in the ad joining seat was a middle-aired man. who to her was a total stranger, whose good appearance concealed his bad and debased character. The curtain after the first act had scarcely been lowered when he commenced to pass criticisms on the merits of the play, and in this respect he spoke in an intelligent and respectable vein. Thinking he was a gentleman, judging from his conversation, she replied to the words spoken to her. As the evening wore on he grew more familiar and indiscreet in his conversation until finally it became so insultinsr and the advances more indecent that she warned him to desist, but instead of heeding the warning he continued in the same vein, and the attention ot a few seated in close proximity was attracted by the obnoxious man.

Finally, without any preliminaries. Miss Stewart arose from her seat, and standing erect, taking all precautions to brace herself to prevent her from falling, she drew her arm back as far as it would co, and then with terrific force threw it around and struck the man who insulted her square in the face. The noise made by the forcible contact of her hand and the brute's fare was heard all over the opera house, and attracted the attention of the entire au-dienee. Those who were witnesses to the impromptu set-to between man and woman, and in which the man was deservedly worsted, applauded vociferously, and some one stiggested that a collection be taken up and presented to the young lady who so admirably protected herself from further insult. The blow drove he man from his seat, but he again returned, apparently for the purpose of resenting the insult, but she was still on the defensive, w-ith an umbrella raised high in the air in preparation to again knock him out, but before she had time to wield the improvised weapon he ran like a whipped cur, and in his eagerness to escape fell down stairs plump into the arms of Officer McDowell, who safely detained him until an investigation was made.

The doorkeeper informed the otticer that the brute had done nothing, and he was accordingly released. Afterward Otticer McDowell was more inteliigently cnligbtened and interviewed the yorug girl, who told him the story of the insult. He then regretted that an arrest was not made.

Alexander Dumas, the younger, in his recently published utterances in connection with audiences, first night cabals, prejudiced critics, and the lost art of hatred, irresistibly reminds his readers of our own Charles Heade. Both combined a wild intemperance of invective with the most charitable and amiable disposition. A friend once called on Charles Keade and found him sitting at his desk placidly smiling, while with great precision and deliberation he inscribed his thoughts on a sheet of foolscap in a large schoolboy text. He might have been writing a love letter, he seemed so happy. He was in reality scarifying a "criticiser" in language that made his friend's hair stand on end.

Charles Matthews was fond of telling a story of Charles Ueade hen the curtain fell at the old Queen's theater on a pronounced failure called "A White Lie." There was 110 shallow of a call. The curtain divided the audience from the author, who stood on the stage shaking ins list at the. invisible foe, still smilingly blandly, and in melifliious accents, saying: 'Infernal idiots: when shall 1 teach you to respect Charles Keade?"

Several of Them Are Lying in the I rnrk of Steamers. A Washington dispatch to the Baltimore says the hydrographic office of the navy department has recentlj-received reports of quite a number of derelict vessels lying directly in the track of the trans-Atlantic steamship route. Other derelicts have been reported lying within comparatively few miles of the track of our ocean greyhounds, and some of these are also likely to drift toward he steamer track. They are considered a great menace to ocean travel, as anyone of them would, if struck by a steamer during the night or a heavy fog, be almost certain to sink her. It is of course impossible to maintain lights or other danger signals upon these derelicts, and it is chance alone which prevents serious, even fatal, collisions between regular passenger steamers and the many wrecks floating about in mid-ocean in such dangerous proximity to the route they take.

There were from the last report received at the hydro-graphic olliee no less than seven dangerous wrecks cither near the trans-Atlantic route or directly in the track. An unknown dismasted vessel was sighted Novemer 3. 301) miles out from New York, which was but a few miles southward from the track of the ocean steamers bound for the British channel. Another lies about 1,500 miles out, also a little southward ot the same track, but it is expected has naturally drifted directly in the track by this time. An unknown derelict was reported about the first of this month about 1.G00 miles from New York directly upon the steamer racks.

It was dismasted and is considered a very dangerous object. The Norwegian bark King Oscar II. lies '2i0 miles from the latter vessel, also directly in the path of navigation, with masts standing. The bark Calliope was reported in the same neighborhood, but it is supposed she was in a sinking condition. Another very dangerous wreck lying directly 011 the steamer track is the Norwegian bark Capella, reported about, a week ago some 40 miles est of Fast net.

This vessel is one of the most dangerous of the wrecks mentioned. The British bark Beile lies bottom up in the same neighborhood. Two other vessels are likely to drift northward into the track. TALKS TO THE AFFMCTED. Interest Scr ices at the Allegheny Ho pilal.
