DIR. SUNDERI AND IN LUCK
HIS SERVICES NOW THE PROPER
THING AT THE CAPITAL.

bers Of the Presidents family occupied
his pew at DR.. Sunderland's church to-
day. The President was not there. He
was recognized however, at an Episcopa-
liam church, where Miss Thursby helped
sing the Easter music. DR.. Sunderland's
church is as crowded as ever. DR.. Sunder-
land receives quantities of congratula-
tions from all over the country upon hav-
ing secured the President. He is in great
demand at weddings and funerals. He
says that he has been asked 10 Officiate at
moro weddings and funerals in the past
two weeks than in the preceding six
months.
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Miller went to the President yesterday
and protested against the removal of
Charles Chesley, Solicitor OF Internal
Revenue. He told the President that it
had been done without his knowledge.
He said that Solicitor Chesley was per-
hGps the most valuable man in the office.
He was the Ctic2 lawyer. The Commits
sioner said that he himself had found So
! licitor Chesley invaluable. He certainly
! ought not to be removed unless the Com
missioner could supply his place with "a,
good man. This, he said, would
]
| ley had not only the ability and
! legal knowledge but has expert
ence such as no other man has. The
! President said that he weuid consider the
matter, He had not known about It.
He would confer with the Attorney Cen
eral. 1t is not improbable tnat solicitor
! Chesley may be asked to remain. Senator
! German hopes to get his place for ex-
| Congressman Fred. Talbot, Of Maryland.
| has been spoken Of for this place, will
get place in me Department OF Justice.
RANDALL BETTER.
Representative Randall, who has been
seriously i'll, is very much better to-day
and expects to be able to go out early
next week.
DEGENERATE SONS.
ANY one who attends the Presidents
receptions is struck by the physical con-
| trast between the prominent statesmen Of
/ the day and their hopeful sons. 1t is we'll
| known that all the United States Senators,
with three exceptions, and nearly ali the
| able men in the House of r representatives.
are above the average height and of very
ample proportions. They are self-made
men and required all the vitality Of their
large frames to raise themselves in the
world. They are an honor to the White
House, and lend di unity to its receptions.
But what ptiful lot are their
wretched little dudes of sons, with their
spindle legs, dwarfed frames, sunken
chests and cOlorless faces-ambitiOnes
disslpated, worthless, without even a
manly vice. There are some marked eX-
! ceptiOns, but the average society young
man as seen in the White House is any,
thing but an object of admiration. 1t is
common sight 30 see handsome, stately
girl with one of these little objects trot-
| ting across the room at her side, scarcely
reaching her shoulders. That women
don't admire the puny things IS proved
by the rarity Of marriage in Washington
society, except in army and navy circles,
/ where the young men are more manly in
form and character. IL has come to
be generally accepted fact,
and human nature at the
capital goes far to prove it, that, condi-
tiOns being equal, mans brains can be
| pretty accurately guaged by the size of
| his body. There are certainly many
| notable exceptions to this rule, but If we
/ look to any of the professions we will gI7d
/ that large majority Of the mental giants
! are bodily giants also. Society women
! here understood this, and while they find
! the pretty little dudes useful for parties
and the theatre, they look elsewhere when
| they think of seeking man for "a life com
| paniOn. 1t is surprising that the funny
papers do not cartoon the statesmen of
| the day and their degenerate sons, for no
/ other subjects afford better field for
satire, both of the pencil and pen.
1t is sand here by New York people that
| Mr.. Whitney, the Secretary of the Navy,
1 is to be brought ont as a candidate for
Governor in New YORK next fall. 1t is
not believed, however, by MIR. Whitney's
friends that he has any idea of any such
thing. He is deyoting himself now to
strengthening up the Navy Department.
THE FISHERY CLAUSES.
One Of the most important questions for
the immediate consideration of the State
/ Department is the one which arises in
connection with the abrogation Of the
fishery clauses of the treaty Of Washing
ton. That portion Of the treaty has been
| abrOgated TO take effect June 30 next.
The fishery provisions Of the treaty Of
1918 will then be revived and will con-
tinue i'm force until some new understand
ing between the two governments can be
reached. The arrangements for the abO-
liton Of the fishery provisions Of the
treaty Of Washington were so potent that
the act of Congress giving notice Of the
abrogation was procured without any very
considerable opposition. Under the
operations OF that treaty it was shown
Z
IN duties to Canada $624,000 making a
total in the twelve years Of the treaty Of
/ SASS, 900, which, with the Sj,5C0, 600
originally allowed 20 Great Britain on
account Of the fishery provisions, makes
a total of Sl2, ,9SS, 600, nearly the amount
OF the original claim Of Si4,500,00O.
Onorous and unjust as the fishery provi-
sions OF the Washington treaty undOubt-
edly were, the two countries may look
with reasonable apprehension to the re-
viyal Of the fishery provisions OF the
treaty OF 1878.
THE OFFICIAL STRUT.
Department officials, high and low, now
| put in appearance and seek the presence
from which flows the milk and honey Of
official life 10 is not generally known
/ that these men are the very pillars OF
gOycrnment-in their own estimation at
least. Every one Of them has a grand,
almost tragic strut. as characteristic as
that Of Henry Irving, and scrupulOusly
initiated by the lowest clerks in the de-
partments. Men who have made a study
1 of the matter can even detect seven
distinct varieties Of strut peculiar
10 the divisions over which
the seven Cabinet officers preside,
but an ordinary observer would not nO-
tice this. Moreover. II is whispered that
grace i'm the art of strutting was the surest
recon nendation for Advancement under
/ the last aou inistratiOn, especially IN the
Office OF Judge Lawrence, Comptroller OF
the Currency, who was q perfect paragon
| in this respect. These pillars Of state nour-
