THE BROOKLYN DAILY StJNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1891 TWENTY id" LIFE IN NEW YORK CITY. EVENTS OE SOCIAL NOTE. NOTES OF THE COLLEGES. Miss Talmago came on the arm of her brother, Frank Talm ifje. preceded by Eugene L.

Richards, Henry S. Brooks and John Henry Mann of New York, Ira Birrows, Norm in Dike, Wyllys Terry, William A. Taylor and II. Burnhain Moffat of this city, ushers, and Miss Colquitt, daughter or tho senator; Miss Julia Kemp, Miss Maugaaj and Miss Jeannie Talmigo, bridesmaids. Misa Maud Talmage was maid of houor and William L.

Mangam, the brother of the groom, Daniel O. Maugam, was best man. It was a rose we lding, the first uair of bridesmaids being gowned in delicate pink, the two following iu a deeper tint and tho maid of honor ia rose itself. They all carried bouquets of Amet i. can beauty roses.

A crowded reception vard and Yale. It isan Innovation in the inter collegiate contests, hut will undoubtedly load to tho permanent establishment of the custom. The challenge came from the Yale union and was immediately accepted by Harvard. As decided at the meetinc of the representatives there are to be two debates, tho first to be held at Sander's theater, Thursday, January 14. with Governor Russell as the presiding officer, aud the second meeting at New Haven some time in April.

The subject for tho first debate is "Resolved, That a young man casting his first vote iu 1803 should vote the Republican Harvard being the affirmative aud Yale the negative. No decision will be rendered. For. the first time since 1881 the Yale freshmen succeeded in defeating the Harvard freshmen in their annual foot ball game. The victory for Yale was largely due to their heavier rush lino and their better knowledge of the game gained in university practice.

Those who represented Harvard were Wadsworth, left end; Davis, left tackle; Eddy, left guard; Grant, center; Murchie, right guard: Whitreu, right tackle: Emmons, right end: Wranu, quarter back; Jackson, Mo Near (Wardner), half backs, and Whitman, full back, For Harvard the best work wm done by Ktumons and Grant. Tho result of the game leaves the series between the two universities as follows: 1S70, Harvard 18. Yale 1S77, Harvard 0. Yale 877. Harvard 4, Yale 1870, Yalo 8, Harvard 1S70, Yalo 18, Harvard 0: 1880, Yale 2d, Harvard 1881, Yale 10, Harvard 1883.

Yale B. Harvard 0: 1S83. Harvard 5, Yale 5: 1880. Harvard 22, Yale 4: 18 87. Harvard 6, Yale 1888, Harvard 36, Yale 1889, Harvard 35.

Yale 12; 1800. Harvard 14, Yale 1801, Yale 22, Harvard 0. Tlina it will be seen that Harvard has won eight ganiea, Yale five, while two havo been tied. Among the lecture, of the week were Tho Colonial Suffrage," Monday evening, by Mr. D.

E. Spencer; "Tbo Aim ami Method of Mcdheval Studies iu the Presont," by Professor Marsh, the illustrated lectures on fcidandic Lags'' by Pro fossor Hprague Smith, and thoso on tho excava drossea are admirible. They never err ou the side of prolixity. He can make a point as neatly and directly as any other after dinner orator now in the field. As an entertainer, as well aa an occasional speaker, he is uncommonly felicitous.

Altogether Seth Low is likely to reach high distinction in this community. It would be a guod tiling for the town if he could serve a couple of terms here as mayor. We should then have a high minded citizen in tho chair of the chief executive, aud one who would at no time have any tolerance for petty partisan politics. The College of the city of New York is bounti fully provided for out of the money of the taxpayers, and it has a large faculty. Its students are numerous, and it ought to take a conspicuous place among the colleges of the country.

The opinion has been gaining ground during recent years, however, that its progress will never be extremely rapid whilo it retains General Webb as president. The general is a line, stately figure in i his way, i3 a representative of an ancient family, and bears his military title and dignity iu the fashion of tho old school. Bnt ho is nt infrequently indiscreet in his utterances and eccentric ill somo of his traits. Uo has come into violeat collision with powerful influences in the board of education and with members of his own faculty. Tho students, as a body, aro not in the habit of rogarding him with that entire reverence aud awe with which tlie students of Princeton looked upon Dr.

McCosh and the students of Yale felt toward President Woolsay. General Webb likes to magnify his office, but he is not likely to achievo fame aa ono of the great American educators of the generation. Ho does not need the 37,500 salary attached to the position in fact, lie has been heard to remark that it was hardly onough to buy dresses for his daughters but ho was so fortunate as to marry largo wealth. Ho fully appreciates tho honors which attach to the position of president of a populous college, and is very reluctant to lay them down. But it would not bo.at.all surprising if the board of education should conclude ere long that the institution might bo benefited by tho accession of a new president.

Charles S. Smith, president of the chamber of commerce, is well liked among the body of merchants, bankers and others engaged in commercial and business pursuits ovor whom bo presides, and by means of his position ami through his genuine ability and good judgment he is steadily making his way toward a higher reputation among Now York's leading citizens. Mr. Smith is not an eloquent orator, and he delivers the carefully proparod addresses which he makes beforo the chamber of commerce at tho afternoon meetings and at the annual dinners in a high, rasping voice which does not remind the hearer tit all of the mellow beauty of the delivery of George William Curtis. But Mr.

Smith fully embodies the shrewdness, the common sense, tho foresight, the tenacity of purpose and the extensive grasp of affairs which characterize the most conspicuous and renowned of New York's business men, who have done so much in gaining for this capital its proper place among tho cities of tho world. He is a conservative force, a balance between the extremes on either end. He i.s not too much of a stickler to tradition and precedent, nor does ho venture too rashly to take up new theories and new ideas until their soundness is apparent. Mr. Smith's estimable qualities commend him alike to men of ail parties aud all affiliations.

He much resembles in character the lato honored leader.of the English house of commons, William Henry Smith. The most influen tial and honored citizens of this community never lose their heads in any impetuous and precipitate ambition to exalt Now York unduly above other cities. They see this town making such splendid progress, they boo it marching everywhere so steadily in tho lines of improvement and expansion, that they do not concern themselves so keenly as do the people af other cities about such affairs as a national convention or exhibitions or displays of any sort. When a really great eccasion arises New York can do justice to it more completely and effectively than any other city in this country. This was clearly shown at the time of the centennial celebration, only a few years ago.

If the Republicans of New York had really been extremely anxious to secure the national convention of their party here next year they might easily have induced tho national committee to send it here by a zealous, enthusiastic and united movement among the Republican leaders, to. gethor with a subscription of somo $80,000, which was neceasarv as a guarantee fund to cover all the Bur, although thero are a great many millionaires among tho Republicans of tho city, who could easily raise such a sum for any purposo which they might be thoroughly determined to accomplish, there was so much apathy on tho subject, and so much indifference, that not one half of the $80,000 which was desired was subscribed. New Yorkers feel that they do not nco.l a national convention. Tho city is great enough to allow Chicago and Minneapolis and other Western cities to capture all the conventions they may desire, while New York feels no pang of jealousy or envy. One most important and imperative work which tho jockey clubs should take up this winter and labor at with unwearied diligence is the improvement of railroad facilities.

If Philip Dwyer and Mr. Lawrence would lay siege to Austin Corbin during the winter months, would argue and plead with him, would bring every possible influence to bear upon him, they might, perhaps, succeed in inducing him to increase the number and speed of the trains toSheepshead Bay andGravesond next season. The number of visitors to the two tracks could bo largely increased. Tho number and speed of the special raco trains could be improved. More specials Vnd faster specials are sadly needed.

Everybody recognizes the great noed of Morris park, also, in transportation facilities. If Morris could spend a few weeks in the offices of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at New Haven this winter, could capture the board of directors of that corporation aud could prevail upon them to give him tho best possible service in then power, the revenues of Morris park in 1892 would be swollen by tens of thousands of dollars. It is impassible to exaggerate tho importance of this railroad question to jockey cinbs. Convenience of access is the largest element of popularity for racing; but until the multitudes on Bubnrbau day, futurity day, decoration day, the Fourth of July and labor day are transported to and from the race courses with more swiftness and comfort than was the case last season tho attendance will fall off to a disproportionate extent ou other days. People will submit to a groat deal of discomfort and inconvenience on a holiday without seriouB grumbling; but unless the railroad give them all passible facilities ou other race days they will restrict their attendance and support largely to the holidays.

Laboring with the railroad companies would be tho most advantageous aud fruitful lino of work which the jockey clubs could adopt this winter. New York, Doeembor 5. 1891. B. II.

expects all those who are training for wind for tho races to play it every day during the wintor, and thofl ho expects everyone to be in goad condition when tho time for the Bystematio work comeH to' hand. A great deal of interost is shoivn iu the game and somo very efficient players aro being developed. The freshman class have adopted silver gray aud garnet as their colors. They havo also gotten their class pins and they are very artistic. The design is a Bhell with the letters S.

C. in garnet and '05 in silver gray inside. A new paper called the (fold ana Black is edited twice a month by tho sophomore class and contains their beat work. But two copies havo been issued so far, but they are the forerunners of a successful paper. SEW YOKK LAW SCHOOL NOTES.

At a meeting of the board of trustees a week aco it was voted to establish a fellowship, worth annually $500, to be conferred upon the member of the graduating class whom tho faculty should deem fittest because of scholarship 'and general ability for tho duties of a tutorship. Prizes of $150, $100 aud $75 wcro also established to be conferred in the senior class for superiority in essay writing and in an examination on legal questions. These prizes will be bestowed for tho first time at the end of the school year. A decided feature of the school is the Hart and Schafer notes. These notes have no precedent in any law school.

Hart and Sehafer, members the senior class, have the lectures taken down in shorthand and aflerward written out. on a typewriter and present them in neat pamphlet form to tlie students for sale. The meeting for the permanent election of officers was held yesterday afterneon. It will be enlarged upon next week. LA8ELL NOTES.

Lasell seminary. Auburudale, continues to offer as it has for some years, two prizesfor entrance examinations: $400 for the best, $300 for the second best paper for the freshmin class. A special examination is given thoso competing for these prizes. The battalion (voluntary) has a larger membership this year than ever. POLYTECHNIC NOTES.

Conklin. il'ho graduating pin of the class of '92 is of very artistic design, being formed of a combined shield and crescent with a row of pearls along its upper edge. The enamel is finished in Polytechnic colors, blue and gray, separated by a thin partition of gold, and in tho blue background aro the letters P. while tho gray contains tho figures '92. Along the lower edge is a laurel wreath in raised greeD and gold.

A Polytechnic scrub tHftm played the St. Paul school at Garden City last Saturday. It was first arranged that the regular eloven should appear, but, as many of the men refused to stay iu training after Thanksgiving day, Manager Potts canceled the original date, but promised to send down a special team, which was defeated by a score of 380. Four touchdowns were made by Swords and one each by Cas'saleer, Webster and Hamilton. Piorrepont kicked five goals.

Burt played a strong game, but was not well supported, the line being too light io hold. On November 7 the Poly defeated the St. Pawls by a score of 1 00. With the close of the foot ball season Captain Burt retires with the record of five games won and three lost, having scored in all 110 points and being scored against in 58 points. The dinner of the Polytechnic reunion will occur on Friday ovonins at Remsen hall.

Covers will be laid for 130 guests. A. W. Berresford will lecture before tho Physical colloquium on Wednesday on "Radiant Matter." J. E.

Bliss is now at Cornell. Next year he will take a post graduate course, at the completion of which he will receive tbo degree of M. M. E. LONG ISLAND COLLEGE HOSPITAL NOTES.

The aspect of the colleee buildings is becoming more hospitable under it4 new coat of red paint. The buildings beforo were painted a shade of color between lavender and gray, a color that had a dreary if not repellent aspect to the eye of those who were inclined to bo sensitive to the external appearance and fitness of things. This objection ia now romoved, for the new red color has all the suggestions of warmth and hospitality that necessarily appertain to institutions of that kind. The trimmings and pillars tho building are to be painted brown. Some of the students iu the physiology class aro exceptionally blight.

The professor was ox plaining the other day that tho affix "gen" meant producer aud gave some illustrations, as hydrogen water producer and fibrinogen, fibrine producer. The student in question upon being asked what nitrogen was said, Night producer." The time has arrived for those who wish to compete for the gold medals to send in their names. There are two of these medals given by the following men: Tho late Dr. William H. Dudley, one of the founders of tho Long Island college hospital, and for many years the president of its collegiate department, left in his will a provision by which a gold medal i.s annually awarded to that member of the graduating class who presents the best clinical report of a case in tho medical wards of the hospital.

Mr. Henry W. Maxwell, a member of tho board of regents, gives a gold medal annnaily to the member of the graduating class who writes the best clinical report of a case in the surgical wards of the hospital. Tins medal is given in remembrance of the late Dr. Dudley, and is kuown as tlie "Dudley memorial medal." Tho number of cases treated in tho dispen sary bids fair this year to exceed that of any other year, if the average keeps up throughout the season.

The total number of cases last year was 18.205, divided as follows: Genoral Btirgical diseases, 6,502: general medical diseases, 2.011; diseases of women, 708: diseases of children, diseases of the nerves and akin, diseases of the eye and ear, 043: diseases of the chest, 2,029: diseases of the throat aud nose, 801. Tho foot ball team is about to disband, but before doing so they propose having their pictures taken. PRATT INSTITUTE NOTES. The domestic science classes have been separated into divisions A and B. Division Apiotects the artistic interests of the department, namely, tho sewing, dressmaking, and millinery.

It now offers to professional women special courses in each af these branches of bix and three mouths' duration. Division fosters the scientific inter ests. namely, the cooking, household economy, hygiens and home nursing and laundry. A change incident to this division has been the introduction of a normal domestic scionco course, covering two years, five days a week, and including, first year, German, physics, chemistry, biology, and applied work iu laundry, cooking and visits to manufactories; second year, chemistry, hygiene and home nursing, public hygiene and house sanitation, and applied work in cookiug. This course is unique, striking a deeper note than any similar course in any other industrial institute in the country.

The department of commerce has added classes in arithmetic and penmanship and Spanish to its existing ones in typewriting, phonography, English and bookkeeping. Theso additions make this department an uppfoacbiug fae simile of the famous European schools of commerce. The department of mechanic art has widened its scope by its introduction of evening classes in science and technology. The subjects covered are geometry, chemistry, electrical construction, steam, strength of materials, machiuo design, building construction and metallurgy of iron and Btoel. Perfectly equipped laboratories go hand in hand with thaua cIaakpr nml inei puKn "What is Going on in Prominent Educational Institutions.

Homaus and Symmes, who graduate this June, expect to return to college next year, so that all the positions will be lilletl by old men. With the experience gamed this year a winning team ought to be the result. Beside the regular men some very promising players have boon acting as substitutes. Among them are W.

haw memorial met to organize a canvass of the college before the Christmas vacation. As a result of tho offer made by Mr. Brokatr to give $25,000, the original plans have been changed and as now proposed comtnmplate a field much larger and more elaborate than was Urst hoped for. As explained by the secretary on Tuesday evening, the large triangular field, following tho curve of ihe railroad, is in be graded and plotted into four base ball or toot ball grounds, beside Die spaee reserved for the tennis courts. The designs for the memorial gate and for the swimming pool have not yet been settled upon.

A bath house containing a largo swimming pool is to be erected, but until more definite action is taken it is impossible to say what the plans will be. A vigorous canvass is now being made throughout tho eoilega to raise tbo necessary funds. The members of the Southern club held their first banquet at Clark's, in New York, last week, covers being laid for forty. Mr. Pliinizn, the president of the club, acted as toast master, and the following toast were responded to: "Literature aud Life of the South," Professor Woodrow Wilson; "Princeton Men in Public Life," J.

Mr. Harry Keyes has been in town for a few days to talk with the graduate advisory committee and the captaiu in regard to the work of the candidates for tho crew. At present the men are Clow, Canthorno, Stearns, Batholomay, Aiton, Ninde, Blake, Will, iams, Dr. Itochmont and Hintmau. With all of last year's victorious crew in college there will be no place for now men, but in spite of this all are working hard.

Msro men will be added soon from those who have been engaged iu foot bail and possibly tome good material may be developed. The tre. hmcn are in change of Jones, but thus far no promising men havo been found. The candidates meet evory afternoon at 5 o'clock in the Heinenway gymnasium fer the usual light training. This year it is hoped a race may be arranged with the Yale frcshmon.

The two have not met since '80, principally because Harvard was bound to row the Columbia freshmen and did not feel like rowing two races. In view of the joint contests now established between Yale arid'ilarvard it would tfeem bnt appropriate that the" freshmen of the two universities meet in an annual contest iu rowing as well. Considerable interest is being shown in she proposed debate between representatives of Har Fasching's ifc to the Homeopathic Hospital of Over $6,000. The Entertainment Considered One of the Slost. Successful Kver Given in Interest Kow Centering; in the Forthcoming "Marriage Dramas "Some Superb Stasre Effects Expected Teas and Receptions.

Fasching, the groat social event of the early part of the season, has come and gone. Tho cay gondelieri aud tho lire fantasie, the diinty little bees aud the many lined flowers, the Grecian maids and the characters in tho pantomime, they have vanished as quickly as they came and feat day is ovor. But the homeopathic hospital is richer by some $0,000 aud society has tnada tho most brilliant display it has attemptod iu years. Tho timo to view Fasching was not when the mimic revel was at its height, but wheu the curtain had descended on Port one aud fair women lay back in their chairs and talked. Then if any ono had been bold euouith to step in front of the great green curtain and look over the house he would have seen the picture of too night.

Rows of dazzling globe lestnoued just under ihe great roof, a paucity of decoration that made the house severely simple, strips of the palest pink and blue merely. That was all. Rut that was the frame of the picture alone. Tho picture itself was the double nnv of boxes, for all the world like dry goutls packing boxes, it must be confessed, each holding Bix and filled to the brim with a fair, shimmering freight of satins aud silks backed by an array of black coats. It was a fitting prelude to the charity ball that fallowed.

When tho great green curtain fell upon the second and final tableau, one by one the leaders iu society from every Dart of town trouped out of the boxes and circled tho dancing floor in glistening promenade. All social Brooklyn was there and not a few prominent New Yorkers, such as J. Seavor Page and Miss Holen Page, who christened the new cruiser, New York, at Philadelphia only the next day. But two disappointments greoted him who desired to seo celebrities of national note. Secretary Tracy, who was expected in Mrs.

Van Nostrand'a box. failed to put in an appearance. The coming of the orator wit. Dr. Depew, was also looked for by those on the insido.

He, it was hoped, would form one of Mr. President Goodrich's party. But Faaehing Thtii lay hail to pass without his benign, encouraging presence. Tho miso en scene of the dances themselves was capitally devised. Carl Marwig never shone to greater advantage, nor could tho detail havo been more perfect nor tho coloring richer and better interwoven in tlio mazy movements.

That Mr. Marwig's efforts were appreciated was shown lust at the c'ose of the matinoo Wednesday, when the management presented him with a superb bronze inkstand of groat weight ami value. It was a graceful testimonial to his twenty fifth Jubilee year which he is now celebrating. Hast was Arnold made the presentation speecli in a few capitally chosen words, and Mr. Marwig responded feelingly.

Some words should be said about tho dancers themselves. Tho pantomime went off witli a dash and an esprit, that is seldom found among amateurs. Miss Miriam Dike as Bianca showed exquisite graco and verve. The mirror dance' won tho plaudits and comments of the evening. Miss Whitman, iu tlie somewhat smaller part of Mannclla showed herself admirably fitted for the task.

Witherspoon's dancing as Anatolo, no carping critic could find fault with. But the distinct hit, when all is taken into consideration, was made by young Woodruff of Y'ale, who was called upon to replace llackctt at almost a momont's notice, and carried through every ono of those difficult evolutions with a snap, a gusto and a grace that was refreshing. Whispers ran continually through the house, "And who is he?" But there were few nble to answer. Much praiso is due tho patronesses of the various dances and the hospital directors for their untiring efforts. But this praiso should centre particularly on a few Mrs.

C. C. Dike and Hastings Arnold, Mrs. Carl H. De Silver aud Jrr.

De Silver, Mrs. John Van Noatrand, Mrs. William Jarvie, Mrs. II. D.

Atwater, Mr. Atwater and J. Howard Cowperthwait. No sooner is Fasching over than popular interest turns to the "Marriage Dramas" to be given at the Academy on the evening of Decemberas and the afternoon of the following day. "Marriage Dramas" is a mot'o ambitious affair ihan Fasching.

There will be none of the bail elemout about it, nor will it be merely a series of tableaux, as many suppose. Tableaux do ooour at times during tho course of the entertainment, but they will bo only incidental. Briefly put. "Marriage Dramas" is a long, many scened play, done in pantomime throughout, the only voice heard being that of tbo historian. Miss Colo, the well known amateur actress, has been selected for this difficult role.

She will be robed in gold and seated ton a dais behind a dark green curtain which will roll aside just before the commencement of each drama, that she may rocitc the tale pertaining to it. Superb stage effects will be the cardinal feature of "Marriage Dramas." Miss Charlotte Alien will bring with her trunks upon trunks aud chests upon chest of draperies, scenery and costumes. A crimson drapery will box in the stage, forming a fitting frame truly for the vivid living pictures within. Tho Eagle has 'already given tho programme of tho evening. Suffice it to say now that the representation of weddings wiil range from the barbaric, crude one of capture to the modern marriage with organ, choir boys and every modern appurtenance.

Hoagland. Saturday evening a special committee of girls gave a dauco in the art gallery, for which only a favored few wero allowed to buy tickets. The Hungarian band furnished the music. Miss Una ford was the young woman in special charge. Two more of BrauUlyu's society maids havo become matrons within the past week.

Both were so well known in social circles that tha bridala had an unwonted interest. That of Dr. Tal mage's daughter, May, was flashed from one end of the country to tho other. The Kendall Still man nuptials, though they did not havo the groat tabernacle for a theater and a setting, was no less impressivo nor was there a less notable array of witnesses. The Tabernacle was crowded long before tho appointed hour on Wednesday night.

Clinton avenue, wide and magnificent, well nigh blocked with the stream of carriages endeavoring to roll up to the church's doors. The bri lal chorus from "Lohengrin" began and the impressive train siowly moved toward tue platform The Disasters "Which Have Overtaken Cyrus W. Field. Scth Low as (i Contributor to Progress nml Enllshtonnient The Universal Stenographer and the Equally Universal Typewriter Some of Ihe Charms of the Metropoiitan Table d'Hote. The subject of greatest interest in social as well business circles of New YorK at the present moment is tlie terrible affliction which has befallen Cyrus W.

Field, a citizen who has for many years commanded tho respect and esteem of all classes of citizens. Calamity after calamity haB pursued him in quick Buccession, until the mau who in the face of the most disheartening failures in the attempt to lay the first Atlantic cable remained the only one whose courage and faith in the project could induco capitalists to invest further sums of money, aud whose ultimate success in this undertaking brought liim world wide fame, is now bowed down uuder a weight of accumulated miseries, any one of which oven a younger man could hardly withstand. The cruel hand of fate never fell with more merciless and repeatod blows than have fallen upon the head of this distinguished member of a most remarkably gifted and successful family of brothers. The full extent of the failure of the firm of which the younger Field was the head has not yet been determined, but enough is known to mako it evident that it is ono ot the most; destructive blows to public confidence in tho business houses of New York which has happened in many years. A prominent Wall street banker remarked tho other day that the immediate consequences of the disaster were insignificant compared with the effect which has been produced by creating a feeling of distrust, not only between busineis houses, but on the part of the general public.

This firm had for a long time been held in the highest regard on acconntof its unquestioned integrity and supposed stability. Tho announcement of its failure, followed by tbo startling disclosures that a general rehypotheca tion of securities belonging to its customers bad occurred, has done more to destroy the feeling of confidence in the honesty of banking bouses than any other single event of recent years. There havo been a number of revelations of dishonesty on ths part of employes of suoli firms within the past few months, by which customers have suffered financial Ihbscs, but the latest iu stance of wholesale corruption in tho methods of the head of ane of the moat respected firms on tho street has created a feeling of shyness ou the part of investors which verges upon a panic. Fifteen years ago there were not more than one hundred stenographers employed iu the city of New York, whilo typewriting machines of any practical utility wore entirely uaknown. To day there are fully five thousand young men and women who gain a livelihood through the uso of shorthand writing and tho typewriter, and there are probably a thousand more persons, mostly young girls, who earn a modest income as copyists by their expertness in the use of the typewriting machine.

An additional field of employment has sprung up, and a hitherto unde veloned and mysterious art has become almost a necessity of a common school education. The business man of to day who does not employ a stenographer and who uses the pen instead of the typewriter in his correspondence is looked upon as old fashioned and slow in his business methods. At loast half a dozen typewriting machines, each capable of doing rapid and acceptable work, have been put upon the market, and the ability to operate one of theso machines at a fair rate of speed has become more valuable to its possossor than tho skill of the most expert ponmau. All of this is merely a concession to the spirit of the times, which demands the greatest amount of work in the shortest possible timo. The correspondence of the business man, which formerly kept him confined to his desk during the greater portion of his businesi hours, is now disposed of in a lew minutes by the aid of a shorthand clerk, while tho letters aro printed in clear and legible characters and iu much less time than was required when the con was tbo only means employed iu correspondence.

The feeling of a community of interests, which naturally exists among a large number oE persons engaged in the samo vocation, led to the establishment of an association composed exclusively of shorthand writers. The Metropolitan stenographers' association, which is tho only recognized body of stenographers in New York, was organized a little more than six years ago, aud to day it numbers among its members about all of tho followers of the art who are inclined to that fraternity of feeling which finds expression in organization. Mr. Edward F. Underbill, the genial official reporter of the surrogate's court, was president of tlie association for several years, and he is still one of its most active and interested members.

Mr. Underbill enjoys the dis tinctiau of being one of the earliest newspaper reporters iu this country employing shorthand in his work, having been connected at various times with several of the leading New York dailies. His abilities as a verbatim reporter finally led to his appointment to tho most fucrative court position in the city. Stenographers as a class are not endowed with great worldly possessions, nor are many of them in receipts of any thing like princely incomes. This fact was recognized by the founders of the Metropolitan stenographers' associatiau and tho necessity for fixing the membership dues at a small sum was clearly understood.

Tho dues amount to only $1 per month, and yet, owing to the largely and continually growing membership, the association is to day in the occupation of handsomely appointed quarters at 333 West Twenty third street, iu a locality convenient of accesi from all portions of the eity, as well as from the eastern district of Brooklyn. Tho association ia not a sort of high sehool for those who have acquired a smattering of the art of shorthand writiug, yet at the same time it offers to mombsrs who desire to increase their speed of writing, or who wish to enlarge their acquaintance with stenographic signs an opportunity for practice from dictation in various kinds of reading matter. While no attempt has ever boeu made io fix a scalo of salaries for stenographers, which would bo aa impossible of accomplishment as would be the effort to fix the salaries of bookkeepers or general clerks, the work of the association lias beeu directed to that end by raising the standard of proficiency. There is one enjoyment of life possessed by Now Yorkers which is rarely found in any other of the lai'Ee oities of this country. The resident of the metropolis who prefers to live in fur niabed apartments and dine wherever his fancy suits him a practice common enough in London and in continental cities can make a selection from among a hundred or move restaurants where meals are served table d'hote at prices considerably less than would be demanded for the same meal at an ordinary American restaurant.

Theso placej are to bo found in nearly every section of the city, but they are most numerous in tho neighborhood of upper Broadway. There are French, Italian aud German resorts of this description and the price ranges from 50 cents to $3 or $4. including wine, so that the most impecunious individual can take his course dinner regularly at a small expense. In Boston, Philadelphia, and even in Chicago, table d'hote restaurants are practically unknown, while in New York they are aB numerous, and many of them quite as excellent in every way, as in any of the principal cities abroad. One of the most valuable importations that Now York has ever made from Brooklyn is Seth Low, the president of Columbia college.

The eon of a merchant of enormous wealth, the ex mayor of Brooklyn has always had a very high ideal of his duties toward his follow men, ami he has labored diligently in the direction of that ideal. He might have spent. his days in ease, luxury and idleness. He has preferred to give his best pewors, energies and abilities to the advantage au benefit of those around him. Mr.

Low, although his accession to the presiding chair of the chief university of New York state is so recent, has already made his mark among tho successful educators of tho country. While mayor of Bmoklyn he displayed exceptional executive ability. Tho range of his views and sympathies iB remarkably broad. Ho outers fully into the spirit and sentiments of tho young men whose studies lie is directing. He is a man of the times in the best sonse of the word, full of the impulses of modern progress and enlightenment.

Mr. Low has not only proved his accomplishments and capacities as the head of a great municipality aud in the chief seat of a niaguifi cent institution of learning, but his social influence is marked and he has taken high position among public spsakers.

The Kendall Stillman wedding Tuesday after noon was a comparatively quiet affair. Something of a gloom was thrown over it by the sudden death of a little nephew of the groom. This occurred on Friday, and it was then too late to mak'e any chango in the arrangements. The Church of tho Pilgrims was well filled with a representative assembly. It was a chrysanthemum wedding, white being tbo prevailing color iu the chancel of the church and yellow at the house.

Athletics at Columbia aro in a critical Rtato. At the last meeting of the Columbia college athletic union some interesting facts were presented regard to tho state of affairs. Mattors have come to such a pass chat many advise the discontinuance of athletics altogether. The reason for urging: this step was tho almost total lack of support at the hand or' the college. Bo side showing little interest in the union, tlia students hay failed to respond to the call for huan cial assistance.

Of the assessments levied by' the union $2,834 is owed by the various classes, the debt being distributed as follows: '80 mines; '00 arts, 584: '01 arts, $128; '01 mines, '02 mines, $557; '03 arts, '03 mines, $401: '04 arts, $252; '04 mines, $500.

BTEVKSS NOTES. Tho faculty of Stevens have decided to take steps to stop disorder in the hallways and library and to prevent uuexcused cutting of recitations or lectures. A faculty meeting was held on November 25, at which some eleven of the students, members of the junior and sophomore clas.es, were requested to be present. The result of tho meeting was that two sophomores were suspended for a week and a third was expelled. This action caused great excitement among the students, more especially as the student who was expelled was accused of grous disorder, of which four students, who were present at the time the disorder was committed, are willing to swear ho is innocent.

Tho following nolle;) has been posted by President Morton: "Students aro hereby notified that they aro expected to conduct themselves within the precincts of the iustituto iu a maunor beoom mg students and gentlemen, and in this connection are reminded (if it should bo necessary) that whistling and noisy talking or other disorder in the halls and stairways, and the use of chairs and tables as supports for their foal or as substitutes for lounges, are proceedings inconsistent with the above mentioned conditions, and are horeby specifically prohibited." A meeting of the Engineering society was held Friday. December 4, at which two papers were presented. Kingsley L. Martin, '02, spoke on the subject of the "Hudson River Tunnel" and King, '02, delivcrad a paper on the "Development of Steamships in America." Both papors wore illustrated by lantern slides. The committee on the junior baii decided to lay the question of changing the date of the dance from commencement week to thoEaster holidays before the senior class and to abide by the result of their vote.

The seniors took action on the subject at their class meeting last Tuesday and, after some discussion, decided not to change the date of the dance, so it will be held, as usual, near tho end of June. It was thought probable that tho class would vote pretty solidly for a change, but considertion for the men living at a distance, who desired to bring their families and friends to both the commencemeut and tho dance, decided the question as it was. A meeting of the Stevens yacht club was held at the residence of A. M. Lozier, '94, Thursday evening.

The club proposes giving a dance during the coming holidays. A review of the work of the Stevens football team during the past season shows tho fallen ing: Out of ten games played four were victories and six defeats. Iu four of the games played Stevens wis unable to score. Stevens Bcorod a total of 130 points to her opponents' 229. Tho work of the teams was bettor than the scores would indicate.

The Rutgers game wa'a won on a fluke. Tho West Point game was loBt through a mistake on the part of tho captain, who underrated the foot ball capacities of the cadets and played substitutes in order to save his best men for a game with Rutgers which never came off: whilo in the Dartmouth game Stevens ran up twelve points to their opponents' none in the first half, aud were only defeated the last half through the superior training of the Dartmouth eleven. No trainer or coacher was had by the team this year: consequently Captain MeKonzie may be proud of the work his team has done. Tho team will loso by graduation this yoar three goad men Hake, Cuutz aud Examination begins with Thursday of this week aud will continue until the beginning of the ChriBtmaa recess, about the 18th of December. swAitmaroRE notes.

The Thanksgiving recess was extended from Wednesday to the following Sunday aud a number of the student! attended the Yale Princeton game iu New York. Tho sophomores received the freshman class yesterday, and had a good time as there had been great preparations mado for the occasion. There was a meeting of the sophomore class last Tuesday aud George Greist was elected manager of the bate ball nine for the coming season. A skaiing committee was also elected, the mem. bei'B being Joseph Emby, Owen Moon, Harry Haines, Herman Conrow, Bond and Allen K.

White. The Somervillo literary society has boen very select in electing members this year and has now a very fine attendance. At its last meeting the following were elected as members: Emma Chambers, '94: Lydia Griscom, '95, Carrie Sargent, '04; Jane Shaw, '05; Edith Wilson, '04; Alice Wiilets, "05; Margaret P. Fabler, '94, and several other names were proposed. The trainer has taken a new method to prepare for the spring track meetings.

Ho has introduced the association game of foot ball aud Valuable stained glass. Arrival the Windows for tlie ClitircEi ot Our 1 iiidy of Hood L'oratiscl. The ten largo stained glass windows for the new Catholic Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel arrived last Thursday from Munich, Germany. They cast $5,000 and are beautiful types of stained glass art. They represent tbo history of the notable stages in the life of the Blessod Virgin and are of rare color and technique.

The work of placing them in position was begun under the supervision of Father Mahony, the pastor, almost immediately after thBir arrival. The idea of a pictorial history of the Virgin Mary, to whom tlie church is dedicated, is a wholly original one. As a rule the windows of Catholic churches represent the saints promiscuously, bnt Father Mahony thought it would be iu better taste to make everything conform to the chief idea of the church the honor of the mother of Christ. The addition of tho stained glass windows will greatly enhance the beauty of tho interior, wkich is pure Gothic. It will also mark tho completion of the church.

Each of the windows will bo inscribed to the honor of a deceased member of some family in the parish. This is in conformance with a Catholic custom that has obtained time out of mind. A part of the old church on Madison street has beeu fitted up with club rooms for the Loretta lyconm, a flourishing society of young men connected with tho church. This organization is well abreast of tho times, having within the past week purchased a new set of furniture, a new billiard aud paol table aud a new grand piano. The objects of the Bocioty aro Booial diversions and tho literary improvement of the memboi's.

Debates and literary exercises are held quite frequently. Acancert and reception is to be given by the club in January next. Since the completion of the new church the Loretto has taken a notable stride and may soon claim rank with tho largest Catholic young men's societies in the city. Father Mahony has interest and part iu tho club aud has done much for its success. their efficiency.

The scientific and technological mstrncuon uere ottered is direct aid to tho artisan and business man whose pursuits aro exacting and progressive aud who may not havo sown tlie proper educational seed in youth..
