pulled tho beam down at ICO pounds.
Thompson was shown a now, or, rathor, a
very old way of cross-countering which pn
giliits consider the very bean ideal for a big
opponent or for one who rushes too much.
TTio blow Bhown Mr. Thompson was to
dodge the head to tho right instead of to tho
loft of tho incoming left hand, then step in
quickly with the right. The olevor amateur
caught his huge opponent twioo in tho first
round neatly, but in the second round Barry

Thompson preparing to catch him again,
pulled the little fellow's head around with
his loft as ft passed over his shoulder, hitting
him in the stomach and doubling him up in
n corner. A shout of laughter, in which
Thompson joined, greeted the awkward clip.
Thompson kept well away in tho third round,
and at long range could pow and then pop in
and get away without the return. When
Barry sets to with Donovan it's a great go.

'-KfiVflPfi-" 'mn' becauso ho fears
CKBlftta? that thoy may havo
0&f5&C(ke oysters in any stylo
vsb vNhout so much as a
" 5 - casual twinge of bus
piclon. As a matter of fact, stolen oysters
oro by no means rare in Now York, Even in
the pcacoful, law-abiding waters of tho
Sound, tho lower bay, and the Great South
Bay, tho cheerful and audacious pirate stirs
up mingled feelings of griof and rage in tho
rugged breast of tho thrifty ovster fisher
man. Thero is a great deal of natural depravity
in tho oyster pirate. This freebooter of the
wintry seas could make just as much money
in the strictly honest business of off-shore
11 suing if ho wished to, but, such is his aban
doned nature, ho profers to dredge in tho
dead of night whero other men have care,
fully planted in broad day. With a little
caro tho ovBter pirate could have profitable
oyster beds of his own, and he in common
with his neighbors, could sit up all night
with a trusty shot gun to keep watch ovor
his dredging grounds.
As this plan would causo him to lose a
?rcat deal of necossary sleep tho pirate pro
ors to lot other men do his planting and
watching. When ho gets a fair-sized load of
oysters from his cruising ground ho starts off
to market. Tho wholesale dealer does not
stop to ask what particular bod the oysters
camo from. Ho would not find out it ho
did, for tho most that ho could learn from
inquiries among other oyBtormcn would bo
that tho suspected man owned an oyster bed
at tho head of- tho bay and one at tho mouth.
This would usually be tho truth, for tho
pirate has to havo somo excuso for sailing
back and forth among his neighbors' sub.
marine properties. If tho pirate is unex
pectedly found in tho middle of tho oyster
grounds he has only to say that he is on hia
way to either of his own dredging grounds.
Howover much the honost man may suspect
his neighbor he can rarely catch him, as ho
cannot provo his own property when he
seeB it.
Oyster buyers would not buy from a man
whom thoy knew to bo a pirate, even though
his oysters were remarkably fat and fresh.
They will stand by tho honost seller through
thick and thin.
Even without tho depredations of piratoB,
the oystermon's business is not so profiUtblo
as a telephone monopoly. Tho householder
pays from $1 to S1.60 per 100 for good oysters
in most of the New York markets. Br tho
time that tho commissions of the retail dealer
and the middlemen are taken out, the oystor
man gets about half those figures. In stormy '
winter weather, when everything except oross
seas and oyster pirates freezes up, these
I trices aro far from adequate return for tho
abor and danger of oystor dredging. Tho
oysterman's worst season is just now beginning.
PALETTE AND BRUSH.
William M. Chase contributes four pictures
to tho American Art Gallery exhibition,
which is now going on. Ono or two aro
Brooklyn scenes.
Leonard Ochtman and Arthur Hoeber both
havo a vory poetio quality in their work.
Their subjects are delicately handled and
show much grace of composition.
Behn has a good marine on exhibition. All
his work is manly and strong, and his waves
move. He has a handsomer canvas in his
studio than any ho has yet exhibited.
Frank D. Millet has two canvases in tho
same gallery. Of course, thoy are window,
pono young women subjects with a thin,
legged piece of furniture hard by. This is
tho Millet note.
Julian Stroy's tremendous picture Of tho
young woman who is about to drink a glass
of aristocrat blood which a lam-cuiotles is
tendering her, has many meritorious points.
The girl's poso is a bit stagey.
J. Carroll Beckwith has had tho copy
which he made this summer of Franz Hall's
rosy.chookcd Dutchmen framed in exact
imitation or the original in the Town Hall
of Haarlem, Holland. Ho will loon tho
painting to the Holland society.
Alexander Harrison will add little to his
fame by the two pictures he has sent to the
American Artists' Fall show. The " Indian
Corn " is hard in tone and the " Open Seas"
is a decided falling off from tho fine " Ore
puBcule " which he sent over a few years
ago.
Thomas S. Clarke, an artist in Florence,
not tho laudable patron of American Art in
that city, has a vory clever work " A
FooI'b Fool." A scarlet jester carelessly
stretched on a wooden settle, is worrying a
gorgeous macaw, with his bauble. The
background of dim Gobelin tapestry, and
the large flags of the pavement are well
rendered. It is a striking composition.

with me as for as Chauteraine, when we leave
here, I will tell you the whole story."
As soon as we had finished our coffee and
liqueur we left the banqueting hall, and as
we walked along by the river, smoking our
cigars, my friend Vital told his story in tho
following words :
' " You know that I wos brought up among
bureaucrats. My fathers saw nothing beyond
tho delights of a life in a Government office.
So as soon as I had successfully passed my
examinations I was placod as an attache in
tho department to which my father belonged.
" I had at that time no decided tastes or
llkingB, and I accepted this position with
great docility and obedienco to my father's
wishes. I was a quiet, hard-working young,
ster, and having neen imbued from infancy
with great respect for Government service, I
Boon won the esteom and approval of all my
chiefs.
" When I reached the age of twenty-flve
years, the chief of my department, who liked
mo much, wished mo to become his private
secretary, and every ono began to say that I
would surely soon attain high rank in tho
service.
" It was at about that time that I married
a very pretty girl, of good family and stand,
ing, but who unfortunately had no money.
This was a great mistake in the oyes of
all my fellow-employees and chiefs.
You knov&how narrow-minded and far from
disinterested tho French middle classes are.
With them marriage is generally looked upon
as a matter of business, and the proverb
which Bays that if the husband has money
enough for breakfast, the wifo must possess
in her own right enough for dinner, is a fa
vorite axiom in the provinces.
" Well, my wife and I between us both had
scarcely enough wealth for supper, let alone
breakfast and dinner, and therefore every
body began to clamor loudly against tho im
providence and lack of common sense that
wo had displayed in uniting hunger to thirst.
" However, as my wife was remarkably
protty, well brought up and sweet-tomperod,
wo were soon forgiven by our friends and
acquaintances and local society ended by re.
ceiving us with open arms.
" The chief of my department was a very
wealthy man, and as ho liked to have always
a full house, and to set tbe fashion he very
frequently gave big receptions, dinners and
balls, to which he invited all the notables
and high functionaries of the town. He was
very much offended if any of his subordl.
nates over refused his invitations, and thoy
were, so to speak, commanded to attend his
entertainments and to amuse themselves at
his hospitable board.
" Wo had been inarried'a year and my dear
little wifo was about to become a mother,
when my chief sent out invitations for a large
ball. I should havo greatly pref mod to bo

Masonio Fair, aud
whon the committco counted up at midnight
tho prospects of tho widows and orphans
looked rosior than ovor. Every floor of the
groat building Bwormed with visitors, and
occasionally tho crush was so great that a
deadlock occurred.
Then it was fun for tho other man to seo
tho dangerously protty maidens Bally forth
from their gaily docked bowers against tht
luckless wights, who could not move a step,
and boguilo them into rash investments of
silver coin.
These fascinating young ladies havo not
served a week's apprenticeship in vain. Thoy
havo left the days of coy baahfulness far be
hind, and what they don't know in tho way
of working on a young man's feelings is not
worth tolling.
Tho greatest fun of the evening was in tho
Shrino Iloom, where hundreds loitored and
laughed and took part in tho great hog can.
test. A big, fat pig, dead as a doornail, lay
strotched out on a table and invited all
comers to guess his woight at 20 cents a trip.
The ono whoso guess most nearly approached
the truth took either tho pig or 15 in Unitod

A crowd of Columbia students, some
twenty-fivo in numbor, fixed up a neat schemo
to haul in the prize. Each bought a sharo
and each made a different guess. They be
gan at 110 pounds and roso two pounds at a
Umo till the last guessed 194 pounds. They
thought they had a suro thing, but a quiot
man, whoso guess 200 pounds, carried off the
animal, for the woight was 198.
The patrons of the fair have a craze for vot
ing, and all the polling-places are rolling up
money for the orphans. Tho fight for the

has becomo vory exciting. A revolution in

Tho vote for tho most popular clergyman

offered to the boss liar of the fair.
It has become an accepted article of every

Two dissipations of a forbidden kind are newly
Indulged In by nice girls w ho are a trine venture
some. Ono Is the whiskey cocktail aud the other
la tho variety theatre matinee. The first is not ao
wicked aa It seems but tho other Is rather worao.
In the fancy-goods stores, candy shops and apothe
caries' places are bars for women. These aro
called soda stands, but the boveragea nave grown
Into a wldo range of mixed drinks, not a few ot
uhlcbare all alcoholic, but lu .very mild way.
Just now It Is tno favorite detlttry of Filth uvrnue
maidens to slyly call for wulaKey cocktails. What
they get Is the alutrat suit of a semb mice ot the
rral miiHculluo tnlug about a teaapoonful of )U
key, mice as much nl wlnt rgrcen cordial and a
dilution of sugar and wutir. 'this they twullow

delightful flavor to the allium harmless concoction

As to tbe variety show escapades, thoy aro con

matinees, when no smoking Is allowed and whero

New York Worklnajwomrn Don't Wnnt As

There It no more Interesting movement now go
ing on In New York than that which looks to the
organization of the tenement-bouse working
women. It Is interesting beosuse It Is made from
the inside, not the outside. New York is plagued'
with a big contingent of professional philanthro
pists. There are acores upon acorcs of women
newly rich many of them with little or nothing to
do, living on the edgta of society and eager to
cross the boundary line. Tho readiest way that
occurs to them is to get their names written down
on "bosrds " of one kind snd another nnl take np
benevolence as a dlver4on which keeps them In
good company and gets their namea Into the news
paprrs. Tbeso women taint everything they touch
with patronage. Tbey spend their money lavishly,
and mott of tnem are thoroughly good-natured at
heart, and, In tplte of their selfish motives and
dilettante methods, really mean to do good and
tnluk tncy are. The great mau of worklngwomen
flgnt shy of these amateur Lady llonntlfola. Tney
don't want to te invited Into atiunday-achonl class
with a oooklng-tchool annex. Tney don't want to
hare their meals supervised, their way of living
criticised and their Independence of thought con
trolled. Tbey dont caro a flg about sweetniss and
llgnt; they want some butter on tbe bread they
have honestly earned and a pleco of meat to go
with It, all to be eaten without Japanese paper
napkins or deluging anybody with thank youa.

Bare Arms Going; Out of Fashion.
irrom IA FJUIaiMpMu Prtn.
Those who dislike to seo bare arms as the uni
versal style for evening dress will be pleased
to hear that sleeves are, so to speak, growing
getting larger and longer, says a Paris letter.
In a lovely design for a Marie TherAie dresi
there is a pulled sleeve ot silk reaching nearly
to the elbow and coming some little distance
below the deep berthe of lace, which Is fulled right
round the low bodlc-. Borne of the sleeves are
mere veilings of tpangled net or tulle, caoght
here snd there and draped on the arm; but, tnough
they are as light as this, still they are sleeves, and
adds grace to the prettiest arms In the world.
Draperies on the arms are evidently a coming
fa.hion, not only on evening dresses and on tea
gowns, but even on mautles.

You can tako one of tho peaches when you

" How could I refuse my little wifo any
thing when sho asked in that way. And
when I Haw hor great bluo oyos glistening
witli childish tears, and felt her littlo, white
hands clasping my arm imploringly, I kissed
her tenderly, aud promised hor to do my

during the whole evening, ' Hcmeraber that
you promised to bring me a peach.'
"It was indeed a tieautiful ball. Thero

I timidly elided in, and hardly hnd Ipnbbed

hot-houso peaches sent from Paris. Thoy
really were splendid, tastefully arranged in
the form of a pyramid, ornamented with
flowers and green leaves, iu a largo silver
basket.
" Thoy wero large and lucious, with their
velvety skin streaked with dark red. A look
was enough to convince you how swept aud
juicy they must bo. I could not take my
eyes off them, and I could not help thinking
of the cry of delight which would greet mo
at homo if I could only bring my wife one of
these exquisite peaches.
" The moro I thought of this the more my
desire took tho form of a fixed determination,

in two halves with a gold kuifo, presented it

that terrible dlaeaae whlah.unlraa checked, mean certain

In view of such serious and erer present facta, tbe sug
gestions and advice of the most eminent physicians are
of the greatest v&lne.
Dr. John Gardnt-r, one of the most eminent physicians
In London, says; "Hclence, onnrtbon sense. Holy Scrip
tures and all experience testify to tbe benefit darWed
from the nae of pure whiskey."
Dr. D. II. Barker asysi "I hare used and examined
Duffy's Pore Malt Whiskey, and find It thebestlarer
triad."
Dr. 8. M. Buckwalter saya. ' Doflj's Pure Malt Whis
key is, without donbt, tbe tnvalld'e drink when stimulants
are lndloated, and I And all chromo cases require stimu
lants, and a largo per cent, of the acut onea also.'1
These truths from the lips of the leading scientific- men
of the dsy, and confirmed by the experience of men and
women well known in the community, should serre aa a
guide for all who feel tbe approach of consumption, no
matter by what path It may come. We do not hesitate
to assert that any man or woman who will use Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey aooordlng to directions can defy con
sumption and prolong life with all its blessings.

out of the dining-room, but, having purposely
loft my hat behind mo, I camo quickly back
to fotch it, and as I, so to say, belonged to
tho house the servants took no notice of mo,
tho less so us they wero just removing the re
mainder of tho supper to tho pantry.
" Tor a few moments I was left alone near
tho table. Thero was not a minute to lose.
Glancing slyly round me, lis If I was about to
commit a crime, I rapidly seized two peaches,
which I conce.iled in my hat, coverinc them
with my haudkerchiuf, and apparently very
culm aud dignified, although my heart was
beating loudly. I loft tho dining-room,
pressing my hat tightly to my breast with my
right hand, which I negligently thrust in the
opening of my waistcoat, this position giving
mo tho uoblo appearauco of Napoleon on the
battle-field of Witerloo !
" My intention was to cross the ballroom
without attracting attention ; to leave the
house quietly and to carry my booty tri
umphantly home. This, howover, was not so
easy to execute us I had imagined. When I
entered the ballroom tho 'German ' had just
bosun. All 'round tho walls wore ranged tho
matrons uud gentlemen who wero
not taking part in tho great feature
of tho evening. Iu front of them woro
rows of choirs for tho younger ladies who
were to remain seated during tho intervals of
dniiciug, and in tho middlo a large space had
been left empty for tho waltzing. I had to
cross this empty space to reach the door of
tho vestibule opening on tho garden. I went
through tho crowd with tho suppleness of a
serpent, trembling lest somebody should
push mo, and thereby make mo drop my hat
and its contents.
" My curs folt warm, and I was so aOiamed
of myself that tho big drops of perspiration
were trickliug down mv face.
" As I reached tho edgo of the circle where
the dancing was going ou u new figuru of the
cotillon had just been begun. Kuch young
lady, holding a hat in hor hand, had to take
her place in tho middle of n ring formed by
tho gentlemen holding (ach other's hand,
and thuy each of them had to put the
hat ou tho head of the uiuu they cho-o
for their partner. Hardly had I taken two
steps forward, when my chief's daughter, who
was leading tho cotillon with tho Governor
of tho ProMtico, rushed towards me crying:
' Wo waut ono more hat, Mr. Herbelot i give
me your hat,' and, without giving mo time to
remonstrate, sho snatched my unfortunate
hat with such violence that tho two peaches
i rolled ou the floor, followed by pocket
handkerchief and by three or four vine
leaves.
" You can realizo tho effect that this sin'
prompto intermezzo produced. The young
ladies all began to laugh. My chief frowned
and I became a universal object of ridicule.
In dismay I felt my lega tremble under me,
