Say About Men and Things.
BEAUTY VS.. BUSINESS.

interest in the star route matters unless
he is well treated.
Mrs. Carlisle, the wife of the now Srool,
er, will on the 1st of January taIe her
place as the leader in official social cir
cles. AS long as Senator Edmunds holds
the position of President pro tenn. of the
Senate Mrs. Edmunds will really rank
Mrs. Carlisle, but even if Senator Ed
munds should continue to be acting Vice
fresldent Mrs. Carlisle will be the lead
ing lady, as Mrs. Edmunds is in MOURN
ffNr \
not go IN society. At all official dinners
this winter Mrs. Carlisle, like Mrs. Keif-
en- last year, will rank her husband. and
IL the President is present, will take the
posltlon corresponding to his. This Off
claI etiquette seems very strange outside
oil Washington, but here where so many
guests at entertainments are official. if is
absolutely necessary that there should be
some RUE OF precedence, or else there
MouIu De Dltter Jealousies. At a dinner
the Oldest Senator in point of service
takes precedence of ali other Senators
present, even though he may be the dull-
est ana most uninteresting one present.
In the same way the members who have
served the longest take precedence of the
younger ones.
MRS. carlisle is a woman who can fill
any position. She is Kentuckian, hav-
ing been born in the city of Covington.
Wnere thelr nome now is. Her father was
prominent man in Kentucky and was
Mayor of Covington for MANY wears. MRS,
Carlisle inherits the splendid physique OF
the typical Kentuckian. She is five feet
nine lncnes in height and straight as an
arrow. Her figure is as 1.-the as a Young
glrPs. She is blonde in complexion. with
Dlue-gray eyes set rather deep under
strongly marked eyebrows. Her blonde
nalr is banged and worn slightly
hn
is dlmcult to realize that Mrs. Carlisle
is the mother of two grown sons. The
eldest one was married last spring to a
COVIngtOn young lady. Mrs. Carlisle is
very proud OF her 'two boys" as she al
ways calls them. She has great faith in
her husbands political success. and has
always herself done great deal to insure
1t. She has been as cool as her husband
during the Speakership struggle, and has
not doubted for one moment that he would
be the next Speaker.
Mrs. Carlisle is perfectly straightfor-
ward and unassuming in manner. She is
loyal TO her friends and kind to every one
On the opening day of Congress when
her husband took the chair as Speaker.
Mrs. Carlisle sat IN the front seat of the
members gallery-the seat which is al
ways reserved Tor the Speakers family.
She wore brown cloth suit, trimmed
with ostrich trimming, with mantle of the
same. "A small brown bonnet completed
her costume.
THE SOPS OF THE SENATE.
Gen. E. W. Whitaker, of Connecticut
who was candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms
OF the senate, to-day sent a letter to the
RepuDllcan Senators Withdrawing his
name from the canvass in favor of Mr.. w.
7 Canaday, of North Carolina, a member
OF the republican National Committee.
Gen. Whitaker says he is fully convinced
that it would be for the best interests of
the Republican party that the appoint-
ment be given to the South. 1t is said
that senator Jones, of Nevada, will be
mere on Monday. Senator Anthony ar
rived this afternoon, leaving Senator
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, as the only
absentee on the Republican side. Those Ia
favor of possessing the Senate offices now
filled by Democrats say that next week
another caucus will be held to determine
the nominations to be made, and if any
TWO or three Senators oppose the pro-
gramme, then majority will insist on its
being carried out and to put the RESPONSE
billty for not voting for the regular nomi
nees publicly on those who NAV absent
themselves from the session of the Senate
when vote is taken. The ticket still
stands: George G. Gorham for Secretary,
Charles w. johnson for Clerk, James X.
Young for Executive Clerk and w. p.
Canaday and George w. Hooker for Ser
geant-at-Arms.
THE YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS.
1t is matter of common remark that
there are more young men in Congress
than have been observed among the men,
bershlp hitherto. In the House there are
fifty members, so says one who has made
inquiry, under 40 years of age. The
Youngest member is Mr.. Post
OF Pennsylvania, who Is now
y. The Youngest Senator is Mr..
Kenna, of West Virginia, now 30. The
question OF interest is, what is bringing
the young men to the front in politics?
An examination of the faces of the Rep
resentatives as they sit at their desks
Will show that the largest proportion of
young men is with the Democrats.
Said Republican who studies the cur
rent politics attentively, "One of nv prin-
cipal fears for the future arises from the
visible fact that the young Democrats are
asserting themselves. They are taking
control of the party, and that means an
opposition to us of decision and
aggression. The old Democrats have
been made timid by frequent defeat.
They are afraid to take a positive
stand, and their vacillating course has
helped the Republicans to many yicto-
ry; but these youngsters are now crowd
ing the old fellows to the rear and their
influence is felt already. Why just look;
the young element has captured about ali
the offices of the House. The old fogies
were beaten out of their boots, and | tell
you the Republican party will have to
