SOME OF THE LADIES VINO FIGURE IN

SOME OF II LADIES VINO FIGURE IN
NATIONAL PoLITICS. There are several
reasons why Washington society is es-
pecially interested in the election even to
a greater degree than is society elsewhere.
One of these is the fact that what is
known as society" here is made up very
largely Of wives and daughters and other
relatives of professional politicians. They
are accustomed to hearing the subject
discussed in a business way, and come to
look upon the success of the party as
interviewer with the success Of their re
spective relations who are associated with
the party. More than that, many of
| these wives aud daughters and sisters are
acute politicians themselves. The ext
gencies of some political contest in which
their male relative was vitality interested
part in political life, and, like the lion
which never forgets the smell of blood,
or the war horse who is always excited
by the smell of powder and the sound of
! battle, they are thoroughly interested
when any contest political comes On. And
there are some excellent politicians among
the ladies. Every one knows the tradl-
tional effectiveness of woman in political
intrigue, and, whether this be we'll tound~
| ed or not, it is at least a fact some OF the
shrewdest politicians at WASHINGTON are
of the gentler sex.
Another woman who is an acute OBJ
server of politics and a great aid to her
husband ia his work here and elsewhere
is Mrs. Hawley, the wife of the Senator
from Connecticut. She has for almost a
quarter of a century boon active IN the
affairs of the nation. From the day she
came from her New England home to &C
upon the battlefield as a nurse and to dc
whatever her hand found to do in behal
of the suffering soldiers Of the late wal
she has felt a personal interest in poll
tics. To her husband she is an invalu'
able aid in the political work and his la
bors here in congress-
Mrs. Vance, the wife of Senator Vance
is well posted on political affairs, and il

A Bank Clerk Charged With Embezzling

SEDALIA, Mo, July 22.-For some time
Sedalia business circles have been greatly
agitated over rumored heavy defalcation
of Emmett King, clerk in the Sedaia
Savings Bank, aud a thousand different
stories have been told concerning the mat
ter, but owing to the high standing Of the
young man and the solicitations of the Di-
rectors and stockholders Of the bank,
coupled with other assertions that there
was DO defalcation or loss, the city papers,
in Difference to them and in order not to
injure the bank, hnve kept the matter quiet
and out of print. The matter, however,
eliminated at a meeting Of the stockholders
and directors in public notice that
the bank would 20 into liquidation
and pay all depositors on demand. Late
last night one of the directory swore out
warrant charging young King with the
grand larceny Of $4,000 of the banks
funds, and he was arrested and gave bond
for bis appearance. He stated after his ar
rest that he had been looking Fer it and that
he expected to go to the penitentiary, but
would rather do 90 than be fugitive from
Justice all bis life. The facts in the case
are as follows as nearly as can be ascer-
tanned: Young King some two weeks ago
abstrscted package of $4,000 from the
bank and left the city. but 1t was agreed
that he should not be prosecuted il the
money was returned. Eis father, Dr. King,
went after him and succeeded in finding
him and returning the money. 1t is also
claimed that he is defaulser to the amount
Of about Sc, 90 additional but this has not
been publicly vented. Youag King wac q
