CLABABELLE'S SUNDAY TALK

A Pahlic Kiss Which Excited the Live liest Interest in Society Circles. Delightful Exclusiveness of the People Who Tarry at Tuxedo Gossip About the Coming Marriage of Dr. Talmage's Daughter. A Shabby Old Gentleman Who Coached $ew York Belles in English 3Ianners. A Funny Quarrel on the Stage Rev. Morgan Dix and Low Corsages A Jury of Women on the Politeness Shown hy New York Men. CLARA BEIXE. Gossipy Talk About Society and FashionPoliteness of New York Men. Special to the Indianaoolls Journal. New York, Jan. L Would Mr. Edward Pales Coward dare to kiss Miss Elsie Anderson De Wolfe in public? That was the question which was for days mooted at that wondrous retreat of wealth and fashion. Tuxedo, where a choice three hundred of us are spending holiday week. Mr. Coward is a swell, beautiful in person and accomplished in character. Miss De Wclfe is a belle, above reproach; and altogether lovely in person and disposition. J. hey are noted per formers in amateur theatricals,-and one evening at Tuxedo was devoted to a dramatic entertainment in wVitnVi tViAv tnnV thet narta nf Afodna And Helen in the wooing scene from "The Hunch back. In these passages, you remember, the young man is a bashful lover, and the girl has to entice him on, until at lencth hi3 courage is braced sufficiently to make him kiss his fair cousin. The climax is oscillatory, ana me situation . does not permit of any humbug. The pair are close to the footlights. He hovers hesitantly over her mouth, which Is expectantly pouted. A genuine, hearty kiss is absolutely required. Under such stress of interest, try to imagine the hush of tongues, the straining of eyes and the holding of breath when the time came for Mr. Coward to kiss Miss De Wolfe, or not to. He passed his right arm around the waist sacred to waltzing hugs, clasped one of her ungloved hands in his left, bent the upper third of his spinal column until his lips were level with hers, pressed the two oair3 firmly and slowly together, and then parted them with a gurgling smack. An un lucky two-thirds of the audience could only see the juxtaposition of faces, while the fortunate remainder had a clear view of the impacted lips, but all heard the chwe-e-w-e-e-p, and instantly the applause was rapturous. It'is unlikely that a kiss in our best society ever before excited so much intensity of thrill. The week at Tuxedo Is going famously with skuing, . tobogganing, .hunting, dancing and flirting. Everything there, is luxurious. But that isn t the chief satisfaction to the partici pants. The exaltation of spirits arises chiefly from ths fact that they are doing what the rest of the million of New Yorkers can't do. Ex; clusiveness is exquisite delight to swell people. The happiness of the Tuxedo holiday gathering is visible in the beaming faces and the sprightly movements. Doubtless the astonished fish, who gaze up through the electric-lighted ,ice at the 6katers, easily see and appreciate the double ex tra. A 1, first-chop quality of the beaux and belles gliding joyously overhead. Brooklyn society finds something to talk about in the report that Miss Edith Talmage, daugh ter of the famous preacher, is to be married soon to Mr. Allen E. Donna, of Richmond, Va., who is described as a handsome and wealthy young tobacconist The first news of the engagement came from Richmond, and when the Rev. T. De Witt was asked if the report was true he referred all inquiries to other members of the family, saying that they were better posted on such matters than he was. The reverend gentle man is so much engrossed in church affairs that he pays little attention to the doings of the young people, and be leaves such matters as en gagements to the supervision of Mrs. Talmage, who is a very clever woman, and well able to attend to them. t is true that Miss Edith is engaged to the wealthy young Virginian, whom she mot at the White Sulphur Springs two sea sons ago, when she accompanied her father on one of his Southern trips. Miss Edith is the second of the present Mrs. Talmage's three daughters, and is about eighteen years of age, She is tall, well formed and fair, and, although resembling her father in general cast of feature, is quite good looking. She is a highly accom pnsnea, siyusc young woman, possessing an amiable disposition and much good sense, and is, on the whole, very attractive and a society favorite. With her elder sister. May, she goes much into Brooklyn society, and her engage ment, which has been kept quiet until within a few days, is consequently much talked about. It was known that after the season at the springs Mr. Talmage and his daughters spent the fall in Richmond as the guests of James B. Pace, the well-known mill ionaire, and that Miss Edith became something of a belle in the Virginia capital, but it was not suspected that the young lady had left her heart in the keeping of a handsome Southerner. Mr. Talmage's eldest daughter by his first wife is married to a gentleman named Smith, and besides Miss Edith there is but one other of a mar riageable age. The Talmage residence is an ele gant mansion on DeKalb avenue, and if the wedding takes place there this winter, it will be Brooklyn's most brilliant social event of the season. A shabby old man's death is sincerely mourned in society. William btuart did not wear fine clothes during the latter years of his life. Indeed, any dainty girl would have pulled her skirts away from contact with . his suspicions coat, bad he been a stranger, and her appetite would have been spoiled if he sat beside her at dinner, cot knowing .him; and yet manv a maiden of Fifth avenuo caressed his hand a lit tle on greeting him, and -gently but firmly insisted that he should accept her papa's invita tion to dinner. The already published obituaries have told that he was originally an O'Flaherty of the Irish family descended from an Irish king; that as a member of the British Parliament he was an early intimate of Glad' 1 stone; that he came to America under the as.umed nam natno of William Stuart, to escape fiuan-

cial embarrassments; and that he figured with

waning success as a manager of theatres and writer for the press. Well, his pen gradually fell behind the fashion in journalism, until be could only occasionally sell an article, and he at length became practically a dependent on his friends for sustenance. Why, ihen. was he so welcome a guest in numerous pretentious families? The men liked his table company because he talked jeminiscently well, but the reason of the swell maiden's preference was that he told them all about the English aristocracy. Most of the titled Englishmen who came to America hobnobbedwith him for old acquaintance sake. Lord Ronald Gower, only last winter, shared his rather poor lodgings for several weeks. He was loquacious, garrulous, and he understood to a nicety just what gentle Anglomaniacs wished to learn. Therefore, while drinking wine and eating the viands of the Murray Hill millionaire, he talked instructively to the daughter at his elbow about the social ways of aristocracy abroad, their women's manners, and their minutest habits of deportment. New ork belles could be named to the number of a score whose tricks of demeanor and small mannerisms have been formulated by William Stnart There was nothing open or avowed in the tutelage, of course, for he was the best preserved specimen of stiff, old-fashioned gentlemanliness that l ever saw, but none the less was be an m structor in the sort of politeness esteemed by the Anglomaniac section of our society. Old John Gilbert, the Wal'ack actor, is just now illustrating ancient courtliness as Sir Peter Teazle in "The School for Scandal." No doubt it is a perfect exposition. In a lesser degree, so are the manners of Annie Robe as Lady Teazle. But on the opening night there was the funniest kind of a' transition from the mimic quarrel of the play to a genuine quarrel, and all before the highly fashionable audience. The scene of the altercation between Sir Peter and his frivolous young vsife went briskly along tor a while, each wordy contestant sticking close to the traditions of old comedy in enunciation, gesticulation, and facial expression. Then Annie forgot a line, and whispered behind her fan to John to prompt her. Ha wouldn't excuse such a fault in his im portant dialogue, and stood grimly unresponsive. She turned her back to the audience, and besought him to help her on. He angrily refused. Then all assumption of last century high manners was suddenly dropped, and contemporaneous animosity intervened. The actress pouted, scowled, and stood silent The actor went on with his own share of the speaking, and the curtain fell on a curious exhibition of stage vicissi tude. About as curious a dialogue to watch was one at Tuxedo between the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, rector of modish Trinity parish, and the wife of the young eighty-millionaire, Willie Vanderbilt. It was at a ball in the Club House. Mrs. Van derbilt wore one of the long corsages that the minister had on the previous Sunday preached so furiously against. The handsome lady's arms and shoulders gleamed smooth and bare in the gaslight, and Bhe chatted in easy grace, as she smiled up into, the ascetic face of the divine, and bis urbanity was not visibly disturbed; but 1 wondered if what they were thinking corre sponded with what they were saying. As a matter of fact, the season started with a marked reform of corsages at the opera, the line of cover being raised an average of two or three inches over that of last year; but night after night it slowly fell, and with the first of the winter balls it took a distinct drop, until now it has reached the former depression. Are men in New York as polite as they are in other places? was a question discussed with much enthusiasm by a company of women containing representatives from several cities. It seemed to be the general opinion that men here are more inclined to ive upgeata in street fcars than are the men, m other Eastern cities. One woman frdm BosJifeMu- a professor in a woman's college neartneiiuD, declared it was a relief to see a man act with some common sense when he does give his seat to a woman. ;Why,' she said, "in Boston when a man concludes that he will give h's seat to woman he doesn't call her attention to it and say, touching his hat, 'have this seat, mad am,' as a New York man does. He simply gets up. turns his back to ber, and hangs to a strap, and goes out on the platrorm. Uf course, a woman can't be enthusiastically grateful for the display of any such vinegary gallantrv as that. More than half the time when a man in the Boston streetcars gives you bis seat you can't tell whether he gets up because he wants to, or out of consideration for you. It is no wonder that Boston women have almost quit saying 'Thank you,' and it is very funny that Boston men get semi-occasionally indignant through the news papers pecause tney aon t say it. cut it is a pleasure to have a courtesy rendered in a courte ous way, as the Asw Yorlc men do. I hey not only give up their 6eats more courteously, but they do it much oftener than they do it in Bos ton." "Thero is no aouot, said an elderly woman well knownas a leader in one of the reform movements, "that there has been a great falling off in the form as well as the spirit of courtesy toward women during the last fifteen or twentv years. I have been told several time.3 that it was all on account of the persistent agitation that has been made by women for the rights of women. Men think, 60 these argusrs say, that if woman wants to be on an equalitv with man she will have to give up the considera tion to which she has been accustomed. It raav be true, but it is the agitation that has given women thines of a great deal more importance, "I don't think so," said the Professor. "For my part, I'd rather have the consideration, and courtesy, and gallantry with which women were once treated than have, without that gilding, all the rights they talk about. "As for me," put in the bright-looking daugh ter of the reformer. "I'd rather stand tip in the street cars all my life, and get adequate pay for my work, than receive all the gallantry in the world along with half wages. I don't care whether or not a man ever takes off his hat to me if he will onlv recognize my right to equal rav for equal work. If we can't have both let's take the one that is the more important." "Well," said a lady from Chicago, "I don't think that has much to do with it In my opin ion it is all due to the decay of finer feeling among men. There s one peculiar thing in which you'll find a ereat difference between New York and the Western cities. In Chicago, and it's the same wherever I've been in the West, a woman can go through the busiest wholesale streets, . where the loadmg and unloading of trucks are going on across the sidewalks all the time, with much jnore ease than here, l ve often heard workmen in the shabbiest clothes and the broadest brogue reprove one another for not having noticed the approach or a woman, 'Look out there! What re ye dom J Let the lady pass, is a remark I've heard many times in the streets. In New York under similar cir cumstances you have to watch, and dodge, and jump, and then workmen really seem to take pleasure in making you think they are going to drop their boxes and barrels on your toos. ' "After what l ve seen to-day, said another woman, a Mew YorKer, who employs herself much in charitable work, ,-I am convinced that New York is the most polite city on the contr nent It was in the offices of the Board of Char ities and Correction, and I'm sure it would be impossible for gallantry to go one step further. It is the last possibility of politen"ss. One of the officials has to attend to the wants of a lot of be dragcled. beery women, who file past his desk, and he addresses them occasionally with 'Keep in line, ladies,' and 'Wait your turn, ladies.' Two of the officials this morning were discussing the case of one of the beeriest and most bedraggled of the lot, who looked as if she would degrade even the word female' if it were applied to her, and one of them said, very earnestly: 'What we want to do is to keep these ladies out of the poor house.' It was the extremest case of pcliteneas I ever heard of." Clara Belle.

Gail Hamilton's Great Powers. as Controversialist and Teller of Stories. The German Barter Talks Again After a Pro tracted Season of Silence A Pathetic Dissertation on HoliuAy Pleasures. THE GARFIELD AUTOPSY. A Talk with the Man Who Embalmed the Body of President Garfield. Special to the Indianaoolig Journal. New York, Jan. 1. It was not idla curiosity nor ghoulish propensity that took me up the winding iron stairway of the medical department of the New York University, the other day, to the dissecting room, but the assurance of a student friend that I would probably hear a story there that would be worth the telling. I shall not, therefore, ehock the reader with any penpictures of what I saw in that" room, although I may say in passing that, by the skillful em balming of the subjects and the perfect sanita tion secured in this institution, the study and practical demonstration of the wonderful and beautiful science of anatomy is robbed of many of the revolting features that formerly attended it. The presiding genius of the place is Dr. F. D. Weisse, than whom, I presume, there is not in this country a more learned and skillful anat omist, or one who makes his lectures and dem onstrations more absorbingly interesting. Once warmed up in his subject and he alwayB warms up when he lectures to a class ho becomes delightfully eloquent, and when he takes the knife in hand to show upon the Buhject what he has described in language and illustrated by charts, the organs he would display appear as by made beneath his skillful manipulation. It in an intellectual treat, even for one unfamiliar with the science, to listen to one of Dr. Weisse's lectures. His chief lieutenant and executive officer is "Jimmy:' Walsh, a middle-aged man of medium stature, pleasing face, agreeable address and quick intelligence. His duty is to obtain the subjects for dissection from the public institu tions, embalm and prepare them for the use of the students, keep the dissecting-room in a proper sanitary condition, and attend upon Dr. Weisse at his lectures and demonstrations. Al though not professionally educated, "Jimmy's" thirteen years' experience in the departments of anatomy of tho New York University and Bellevue Hospital Medical Colleges has given him a familiarity with the structure of the human body possessed by very few specialists even. The students go to him freely for assistance and instruction in their dissecting, and he id ways" gives it in a cheerful, modest way. "Didn't Dr. Frank Hamilton come up here frequently during the last sickness of President Garfield?" I asked of "Jimmy," desiring to draw him Into conversation upon that interesting sub ject. ,:Yes, he came here every time he returned from a visit to Washineton. Gunshot wound3 were his specialty, you know, and he made many experiments here to determine the penetrative power of a bullet shot from a pistol such as was used by Guiteau, and to learn, if possible, the course the ball would take." "How were those experiments made?" "I got a body for him that of a man weighing about 225 pounds and we hung it up on that hook," pointing to a bracket of iron extending about three feet from the wall, near the ceiling, "Then we stood oil about nine feet, and fired tho pistoi at ine ooay. u tne Dans am not strike a bone, they went through the body, as though it offered almost no resistance; if thev did. thev glanced, and it was impossible to tell where they would go. nere are some of the marks of them pointing to holes in the wall that had been filled' up with plaster, ard to an. anatomical chart, the glass over which was broken. 'Did Dr. Hamilton succeed in locating the bullet in General Garfield's body by these cx periment6'' He thought he did. After his last visit to Washington he came up here, and, taking a bullet, he turned back the flap where the ab domen of the subject had been opened, placed it in position, and putting the flap back in its place, said to Dr. Weisse that he Knew ;ust where that ball was, tor no felt it when he put his finger on General Garfield's body just as plainly as he then felt it in the subj ect before him. The point he indicated was about two inches to the left of the medial line of the body. in front and about two inches above Poupart's ligament. "You were present at the autopsy, were you not" "I was." ''What took place?'' "When the bodv was ready for the post-mor tem Dr. Hamilton placed his finger on the spot I have already mentioned and told Dr. Lamb, of the Army Medical Museum, at Washington, who performed the operation, to make bis opening there. Dr. Lamb did so. and put his band in but could feel nothing of the ball. Then Dr. Hamilton, who seemed much surprised that it was uot found and somewhat excited, told me to see what I could find, but it wasn't there. Then the doctors directed that tt bodv be opened at the abdomen, and when this was done the vis cera, stomach ana lungs were removea and placed in a vessel, but no trace of the bullet was found. There was a good deal of confusion owing to orders being given by several of the doctors. Dr. Lamb stood on the left side of the body and I upon the right side assisting him. Dr. Agnew stood over me, Dr. Bliss at the head, and the others were scattered about the room. Mone of the doctors handled the parts becauso of the presence of pyemic abscesses and the danger of blood-poisoning. Dr. Andrew H. Smith, of Elberon, was examining the organ in the bow), and he found the ball between the spleen and the kidney." "Wasn't that 6oine distance from any point at which it had previously been located!'' "Yes, nobody was looking for it there. Tho fractured piece of spine was removed and is now in the Armv Medical Museum at Washing-, ton. I put the body in order again, substituting a piece of broomstick for the missing section of' spine." "Didn't you embalm the body?" "Yes. and althoueh I presented the very modest bill of $200, I was never even paid for my expenses. I wrote a letter about it and received a reply from General Swaim, sayine that the covernment paid tho expenses attending President

Garfield's death and fnneral, and that his family had nothing to do with it. I never got anything from the government. " Z. L. White.

FAMOUS WOMEN. Gail nainilton Iler Abilities as Controversialist and Story Teller. Special to the lndianapoll Journal. New York, Jan. 1. Gail Hamilton's emergence into the field of metropolitan journalism after a long hegira to the provinces recalls soma carious memories of this gifted controversialist's past. When she took her cow famous com da plume it was with the idea that her sex a.nd ber identity as a woman and plain Abigail Dodge, of Hamilton, Mass., would be impenetrably masked for all time. She scorned all feminine weaknesses, and wished to pais in her writings for a man. Her intimate friends among women frequently suffered from her unbending prejudices. One, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, who lives in Andbver, in Gail's own State, was cordially invited lo make this redoubtable woman a visit. Tha famed spinster of "Gates Ajar' celebrity had for her alter ego at that time a faithful setter dog to whom she was devoted. "I will come M Hamilton next week with my dog Ralph," wrote Miss Phelps. 'You will come, without anv nonsense. an4 by yourself." wrote back the obiective. XiaiL Miss Phelps stayed away with her dog, and Hamilton has never known her since. Bnt Gail, with all her silk-stocking mightiness, had nt soft spots; and, about this time, she had what may be called a psycological aflinitjffor a young Bostonian something lilco twenty years he junior, lhis young gentleman was known in Boston as a somewhat precocious litterateur, ana posed in his day as the Archibald Grosvenor ol the time, with his aesthetic '"fads," his pat vers to order, and his twenty maidens. Gail bad never seen anything like this before, and Grvenor was made very welcome at the old houte at Hamilton, to the dismay and mortification of Gail's good neighbors. It was about this time. too, that Gail had her famous quarrel with James T. Fields. She claimed that he and Os good had tricked her out of her just dues io copyrights, and she got righteous judg ment from rererees at tho time. 8a, when Grosvenor was enthroned, she actually turned the portrait of the author-publisher. Fields, face to the wall and hurg up the new god in a conspicuous place. The twain had sneh tete-a-tetes and symposia as staid Hamilton had never seen before, and once when the gallant cavalier stayed too late, and fell down a flight of steps in the darkness, hurrying for the last train, there wa3 a scene at the old homestead that has never yet been and never will be recorded in any of, Gail's published annal?. .No one who estimates Gail Hamilton from her books can form any adequate idea of her extraordinary charms as a conversationalist and raconteur. Washington, perhaps, know3 something of her surpassing social gift?, but, save :n the sacwl shrine of her own fireside, they have nover been disclosed in full splendor. uail Hamilton is a cousin of Mrs. James 7. Blaine. Those who have met the latter will recall the marked contrast that exists between these two women, of late veers so nearly asso ciated. It would be difficult to picture a more unamlable woman than Mrs. Blaine can be when the mood takes her. No Xantippe could by anv possibility rival, in absolute demonstration, the incarnate perversity which this characterises woman suggests without a word, when in one ol these silent and portentous moods, which those who know her well have so often met to their sorrow. - CuLPKrr-Ku.
