Talking scandal.
Washington Capital

W dSnlhBtOn Oapltai.l
Washington has been treated to a
genuine sensation during the past
week-a senator's son shot in the
street by pretty girl, who charges
him with running her under promise
of marriage. The senator son denies
that he ever did it, and thereby makes
the case more interesting for such
scandals are dull and prosy when the
man comes up and acknowledges his
guilt. Folks only say, well. he
ought to marry the girl" and that
ends all talk about it. 1t is the doubt
that this is blissful. Persons like to
revolve the thinking in their mind,
and wonder whether he did it or not;
SO the public owe something to the
senator's son for kindly denying the
girls story. 1t was the doubt that
hung like a veil around the Beecher
scandal that kept public interest
alive, If the veil had been raised,
and nothing but coarse sensuality
revealed to the gaze, the world
would have been disgusted at
once The doubt added a 70
nance to the story. 1t is the same
with our sensation; while it remains a
matter Of doubt it can be talbed about
in the parlor, published in pious news
papers and introduced in conversation
on any occasion with perfect proprie-
ty. For instance, this is the way it is
discussed.
[Scene-Front parlor; old gentleman
and old lady just retired; Belinda and
Alfonso sitting together on sofa.
Belinda: Alfonso, did you read that
awful thing about the girl shooting
the Senator's son?
AlfonsO, (hitching over toward Be
linda's side of the sOla): Yeth.
Belinda, Cooking shy); Wasn't it
perfectly horrid?
Alfonso, (sighing and letting his
arm drop around Belinda's waist:
Dreadfully horrid.
Belinda: DO you think Mr.. Nor
gan ever
Fortunately the big brother comes
home just at this time, and Belinda
never gets reply from Alfonso.
The embarrassing questions which
these scandals sometimes lead to are
aptly illustrated by the following in
cident, which, it is said,. occurred
during the progress Of the Beecher
trial: A grpf old chap and maiden
of vinegarish aspect and inquisitive
turn of mind occupied a horse car to.
gether. The old chap was reading a
paper industriously, and was evident
ly annoyed by the endeavors Of the
vinegarish and inquisitive maiden to
engage him in conversation. Finally
she struck into the Beecher affair,
and, giving HIM her views Of things in
general, pumped the question at the
old codger; DO you think Mr.. Beech
er is guilty. The old chap looked at
her sternly, and then roared. Guilty
of what, madam
This was squelcher, and the old
chap was permitted to continue the
perusal Of his paper without interrup-
ton. He never got a reply to his
question. At the present time there
is one absorbing question in the city
Whenever 1t is answered the interest
in the Morgan Horton scandal will at
once cease.

Mrs. Hayes Becomes More Dressy,

Ars. Hayes has certainly changed
her views in regard to dress SINCE she
made her debut as " first lady of the

should always set an example Of sim
plicity in dress that she should wear
BLACK six as a general thing, and when
she was obiigel 70 wear anything
more dressy it should be ab plain and
simple as possible. She kept her re-
solye for time, and at every enter
tainment at which she appeared her
dress was plain. But after her being
in the white house about a year d
change was noticed. She began to wear
more light evening dresses, and they
were made more elaborately, until an
official, who is a great admifer Of Mrs.
Hayes, noticed the change, and said
that he was afraid Mrs. Hayes simple
