I A DRESS SUIT'S TALC.
JDlfllculttr Which Attended ci Young tw
jit's l.iitren to Society,
A caso recently decided beforo Judge
Fallon, of the Ninth District Court, de
veloped sotno unusually plcturosquo
features. Daniel Bradley, a tailor at
Tio. o west 1 wcnty-slxth strcot, op-
poslto Delmonico's, was tho plaintiff,
and John T. O'Connor, a lawyer at 107
Broadway, was tho defondant.
Philip Carpenter, of tho Potter Build
ing, brought tho suit for Bradloy and
carried it (tho lawsuit not the dross
suit) to successful issuo.
Attorney Killshchnor, of No. 107
Broadway, represented tho somewhat
rocky caso of Mr. O'Connor. The evi
dence brought out thoso peculiar points:
Lawyer O'Connor ono day found him
self tho recipient of an invitation to a
swell social aifalr uptown. This seemed
to bo a somewhat unusual event in his
caroor, ns it found him without a dross
suit. Ho hurried oir to Mr. Bradley, tho
tailor, whero ho sought to ncgotiato tho
loan of a splko-tall coat and tho other
porsonal adornmonts necessary to a suc
cessful ontreo to tho social swim.
Bradloy didn't keep dross suits to hire,
but having a desiro to holp a "truggllng
man along in tho world ho introduced
Lawyer O'Connor to Dennis Shea, a
doalorwhoso specialty Is dress suits to
loan for a fair consideration. In this
caso tho consideration was fixed at S4.G0
for tho evening. O'Connor didn't havo
tho "four-fifty," and Mr. Shoa did a cash
business, and honco tho negotiations
wore blocked.
Bradloy's kindness of heart again
came to tho rescue, and ho consented to
go O'Connor's security for tho dress suit
Jor tho evoning. Thus it was that soci
ety was not doprivod of Mr. O'Connor's
prcsonco, as ho blossomod out in much
radianco in tho hired suit, and for that
occasion, at loast, ns Wordsworth puts
it, "socioty hocamo IiIh glittering brido."
Tho dress suit Booms to havo boon a
good fit and otherwlso satisfactory to
Xawyor O'Connor, for ho did not roturn
it next day, according to tho stipulation?
in tho lease. Neither did ho roturn it
tho noxt day, nor tho next week, and ho
jhas not roturnod it yot. That is tho
reason tho rcd-oyod law was invoked.
Shoa wanted his money, and had ro-
courso on Bradloy as surety. Mr. Brad
ioy paid, and then began to look around
'iqz 0onnor.
Vcif Investigation showed that Mr. O'Con-
nor had "hooked" his business suit and
jvas disporting hlmsolf by night and by
day In tho hired suit, tho rent of which
was all tho timo piling up.
-4 Whllo Jay Gould might havo boon
appalled by such a situation, Mr.
O'Connor was serono.
llo was treading tho flowery paths of
Bacchus and didn't caro a rap for ex
penses. Tho matter wont on until
Xawyor Carpenter was forced to bring
suit, which was done boforo Judge
I'allon. When tho caso camo totrialMr.
O'Connor was lawyer enough to know
it would bo a point against him if ho
uppoared In court wearing tho suit at
Issue, and by Homo heroic olfort ho
Tnanaged to appoar in a regulation suit.
Ho and his lawyer made a hard light,
but a judgmont for tho value of tho
hired suit was rocordod against him.
Tho whole tendency of tho caso went to
how that getting into society In a hired
dross suit Is attended with dangors and
drawbacks. N. V. World.
EMPRESS FREDERICK.
Her Opinion of (limtnv Froytug'a Little
( Work on Her I.ntn llunlmnil.
Tho Empress Frodoriok has, according
to otho llerlln papers, delivered nor
opini n on Gustav Froytug'B now llttlo
work on her late husband. Her
Majesty has, In tho llrst placo, pointed
outcortain errors, especially in relation
to herself. Sho said, among other
things: "1 was proud to bo able to fol
low tho high flight of his spirit, to un
derstand his plans, and to share in his
wishes. Wo were ono in thinking and
fooling. Tho words, 'lie ordered ovory
thing uccording to her thoughts and
-wishes, aro decidedly Incorrect. In Im
portant questions tho Emperor usod to
ask my opinion. Wo exchanged views,
und ho was gltul to call mo his
'Goholmrathln' (privy counclloress),
who was versed in every thing, but ho
novor was unhappy or dissatisfied be
cause I was of unothor opinion than
himself."
The Kmpross also objected with somo
indignation to tho passage which says
that "Sho had como to her husband
from groator circumstances, richly
gifted, and that ho had inspired his
pure and simple soul with the feeling
that what hud taken visual shape with
in him was her work." Her Majesty
said: "It was he whoso high-souring
jnlnd warmed mo for all the ideals that
filled his heart It was ho who worked,
practically sowing in my heart thoso
seeds which had already grown In his to
tho most glorious development. All
thnt has grown out of the harmless child
that ho then took Into IiIh palace Is his
work." On Froytag'H certainly rather
curious romurk that such domination
threatened to bring dllllcultles and con
tllot to tho husband, the future ruler
of Prusslu, Her Majesty sank into
deep ..reflection, and exclaimed:
"Suoh "dominutlont I brought him
dillloulties and conflicts'.' When
and where? Did I ever try to sub
ordinate his will tomlnuV Tho Em
poror was not a man to yield to tho do
minion of his wife, oven if -but must 1
road all that is written?" Sho pushed
tho iniok usldo und, stepping Into u win
dow rocoss, gared long and mournfully
at Emperor Frederick's portrait hanging
there, und then left tho room, uuablu to
apeak further,
Jtissuld that tho Empress bus pre
fixed tho following motto from Schiller's
'Maid of Orleans" to her copy of Froy
tag'ij "llemlnlbcences:" "Tho world loves
to blacken whut is radiant, und to drag
tho eminent down into tho dust. 1 do
But mourn. Thdro are btlll noble hearts
that glow for the man that Is high und
rare." " ' -

DOUBTED THEIR FAITH.
TVIiat Tlcklril an Old Hoosler Who Had
lloth Kyen Wide Open.
One day I was riding along a highway
in Indiana when I camo upon a pilo ol
bedding and articles of crockery and
hardwaro In front of a farm house, and
seated on the horso block was a corpu
lent old man with a very red face.
Naturally enough I asked him what had
happened, and ho wont off Into laughter
which lasted a full minute before bo
could reply.
"Them duds bolong to Ben and
Mary."
"But who aro Ben and Mary?"
"Ben's my my ha! ha! ha! I'vn
laffed till I'm almost dead. Ben's my
son, and Mary is his ha! ha! ha!
wife."
"But who tumbled thoso things out
there?"
"I did."
"And whero aro Ben and Mary?"
"She's gono homo and he's broko for
tho woods. Stranger, excuse me, but I'd
havo to lafT if there was a corpso in tha
house. It's too durned funny for any
thing ha! ha! ha!"
And he yelled and whooped until ha
could havo been heard half a mile.
When ho sobered up a llttlo I asked:
"Is thero a joko in this somewhere?"
"Is thero? Whoop! I should say
thero was! Go into tho house and you'll
find tho old woman nigh dead with lull
ing." "Well, what is it?"
"You see, Ben got married about threo
months ago. Purty good boy, but inclined
to be tricky. llo married a purty fair
gal, but she's droliully ambitious. They
cum homo to live, and about a month
ago wanted mo 'n tho old woman to deed
over tho farm to them and be taken keer
of tho rest of our lives. We didn't like
tho idea, but they hung to it. and so last
week I mado out a deed and bunded it
over. It wasn't a deed doscribin' this
farm, but some other farm, though it all
looked rog'lar miff."
"You doubted their faith, eh?"
"I kindordid, and so ha! ha! ha! Say,
stranger, don't think hard of me, but
1'vo got to laff or bust. Just tickles ma
way back to my shoulder blades!"
Ho wont oil into another fit. and when
ho got his breath again ho continued:
"This morning was tho sixth day
sinco they got tho deed. As soon as
breakfast was over lion said they'd con
cluded to git along without our valued
company, and suggested that as it was
nine miles to the poorhouso wo make an
early start, lie intended to turn us
smack out doors without a dollar, but he
got left. I told him ho bettor look into
the deed a bit, and ho went to town and
diskivored tho trick I had played. You
ortor scon them two when they como
back! Why, why "
And he laughed again until I had ta
pat him on tho back to provent a catas
trophe. "Thoy wero tho humblest, down-trod-dencst,
used-upest, gono to-pieces pair
you over sot eyes on. Ben got a plug of
torbacker and a boss pistil and left fur
tho woods, and Mary tied a wet towel
around hor head and hoofed it fur her
father's houso. I'vo brought out their
duds and piled 'oni up here, and if they
don't send fur 'em beforo noon they kin
go to tho dogs."
"Well, thoy deserve it."
"Yes, they do, but it was a mirror
escape fur mo. If that deed had bin all
right me'n tho old woman would bo pau
pers to-day. But it wasn't all right,
and and "
And 1 had drivon at loast half a mils
beforo I lost tho sounds of his laughter.

"Elijah, If I wero you I wouldn't eat
minco pio and cheeso and doughnuts at
this timo of night," said Mrs. Bixby to
her lord and master, tho other night,
when thoy camo home from tho theater
and Bixby had gono straight to tho
pantry.
"Fiddlesticks!" was his contemptuous
reply. Don't try to come any of tho
coddling business ovor mo. 'Mandy, I
guess I know what I'm about. It's all
nonsenso about its bolng unhealthy tO'
eat beforo you go to bed. My father
mado a regular practice of eating pio
and pickles and cheeso and any thing
ho wanted at midnight, and ho lived to
bo eighty."
"I know, Elijah, but your father was
a farmer and lived out of doors most of
tho timo, and worked hard at manual
labor, so that ho could easily digest "
"That had nothing to do with it," in
terrupted Mr. Bixby, as ho helped him
self to another quarter of pie. "Eat
when you're hungry, I say, and I'm
hungry enough to-night to eat an ox.
Whero aro thoso cold pig's feet? I'm
going to top off with thorn and you'll
seo that I'll bo asleep In ten minutes
aftorward and sloop liko a baby all

idoas about dlot!"
Mrs. Bixby saw. Sho both saw and
heard Bixby threo hours later. Sho
could have heard him howl and groan
had sho been a quartor of a inilo away.
"Oh, 'Mandy!" ho wailed, "got up for
heaven's sake! I'm going to diol Get

raced across tho street with a blanket
around hor and routed out a neighbor to
go for tho doctor, and when tho doctor
had come and relieved Bixby of his mis
ery, ho lay back on his pillow and jHd:
"I can't Imaglno what could havo gvvon
rao such a turn, can you, 'Mandy?"
And when sho said sho could and did

said:
