The two professions of the drama and of
Journalism are strangely far apart, consider
ing the c~loseness with which they sometimes
come together. This is illustrated by the
employment by the latter OF agents to go be

a lot of fellows in New York employed to
covertly get items into print, and they make
fair incomes out of the credulity of the stars
who pay them. One of them is under salary
to Barrett, Minnie Palmer, Bertha Welby,
Stafford and several combinations, dra wing
an ag .regate OF $50 a week.

The Washington Monument.

Col. Casey, at the request OF Gen. Dunn,
made a succ net statement OF the progress Of
the work. He said that the project of the
erection of a lime structure to the
memory of Washington originated among
lea ling senators ard representatives and
officials and citizens over half "A century ago,
aud in 1881 the society was organized under
an act of congress.
BY 1913 $4,000 had been collected by pri-
vnte subscriptions and $3.50, 900 were er-
pended in raising the obelisk to a height of
Ia feet. In 1876 the government took charge
OF the work and has since appropriated $780,
900. With the former amount expended, the
monument at its present Insight, a triHs over
100 feet, has cost 1887 900, with a balance of
nearly Si50,0O0 on hand, which will complete
tho work Other things being equal, Col.
Casey said the outside OF the obelisk can be
completed by December OF tho present. year,
US he had assurances that the marble would
be delivered in time. He said tho base was
f~fty-1ve feet and the completed height would
be $50 feet, the marble roof being hfty-Ave
feet.
In answer to "a question as TO the height, as
compared with other lofty structures, Col.
Casey sail that the obelisk would ovcrtop all
o-her construct. ons Of human hands, the
spires of the Cologne cathedral being sos
feet, or fifty feet lower than the Washington
monument. The weight Is $50 o tons. which
will be increased 10 sO,OOJ when finished.
The total settling Of the structure is but one
and three-fourth inches. The working out
Of the p%yramidal roof in marble. no said,
woul be a work Of extreme difficulty, and
be was indebted to the lats Minister Marsh,
at Rome, for tue valuable sugScstio / that the

pfishments of Their wives.
New York Cor. Boston TimeS.l
Col Fed Grants wife is a charming lady,
beautiful and cultured, and was tile daughter
of Mr.. Honore, of Chicago, and they have
q tine residence at Morrisiown, N. J.
U. s.. Grant, Jr., resides in West Fifty
eighth street, and has been married some
Eve years to the only daughter OF ex-senator
Jerome B.. Chatfee. Her mother died when
she was a mere child, and her early years
were passed in the charge of her mothers
sister, most of her education being obtained
at the Packer institute, in Brooklyn, where
she was a universal ~favorite and was some
what famous for her generous impulses.
Whenever her father visited her-which was
at frequent intervals-he would leave $50 or
$40, which she was at liberty to use at her
own sweet pleasure; and the result was that
the girls shared in her gool fortune, from
caramels to luxuries of millinery.
After finishing at the institute, Miss Chat
fee spent some time at Heidelberg, Germany,
where she acquired the German language,
which she speaks very duentiy. Sue is a mu-
sician Of no small parts, and during her three
seasons at the cap tai was a great favorite in
the best circles, though not a reign ng belle.
MIR. and Mrs Grant nave two sweet little
children, and theirs Is. in every sense, a most
happy home. Mrs Grant Is now about "A
years of age, of medium height and fair com
plexion. Her deep blue eyes are shade by
long lashes, aud her brown hair looks almost
golden in certain lights. She is not, exactly
beautiful, but her smile is very winning and
her manner is altogether charming. She is
rarely seen in society, being very domestic In
Eer tastes; and she brought her husband u
dowry of $40o. 600, all Of which has gone
under the tidal wave that has swept over this
famous family.
Gen. Grants youngest son, Jesse, married
Miss Alice Chairman, daughter of a Cali
fornia bonanza king, a few years ago. Miss
Chapman is young and beautiful, and in her
youth was surrounded by every luxury, her
wedding outfit being aid to be the most
c. silly ever male for an American bride. At
her marriage she had a large fortune; but
just how much OF it has been sacrificed, I am
unable to learn. They reside on East Sky
sixth street, With Gen. and Mrs. Grant.
