leaders OF Washington society this winter,
and she was well suited to take tuch q
position. As the wife OF Hendricks as
Governor Of Indiana and as Senator, she
had long social training, and there being
no Presidents wife, she had the right TO
expect to rank as the equal II not the
superior Of Miss Cleveland. McDonald's
vile was at one time clerk in one
OF the Washington departments: But
she was an elegant and accomplished lady,
and had McDouald been appointed Attor.
ney General she would have cut as much
Of figure in the society Of this admins
tration as Mrs. Brewster, who, by the way,
was also a department clerk, cut during
the administration OF President Arthur.
Mrs. Hendricks naturally did not want
her enemy, Mrs. Mcdonald, contesting
her position as leading society woman
Of the West at Washington, and her hus-
band called upon Cleveland at Albany,
and it is said there opposed McDonsld's
appointment. The primary cause OF the
trouble between Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs.
Mcdonald was that Mrs. Mcdonald had
been divorced before she was married to
Senator Mcdonald.

Jail yard here at S:l5 A. N, in the pres
ence ofabout 100 persons. Simmons was
apparently resigned to his fate. Three
clergymen spent all last night with him,
He met his death unfinchingly. The
crime for which Simmons was hanged was
the murder Of Mary Ann Stokes, a woman
with whom he was living, on June 9Th
last. Simmons committed the crime in q
drunken frenzy, stabbing her FIVE or six
times, the fatal wound being large cut
under the arm, which severed an artery.
Simmons was found guilty, but numerous
efforts were made to obtain executive
clemency, which was refused.
