fallen. A bird. singing the richest and rarest
melody has gone forever from the groves of
time. woman. splendid and heroic in all the
better qualities of life has closed her eyes in
death, and the voice which caught the highest

A Story Illustrating the Depth to Which a
Man May Sink.
Washington Special.
The following story is being told to illustrate
the depths of the unmaniness to which the de-
partment drudge may sink A man caed upon
the head of one of the government bureaus the
other day and introduced himself as the hus
band of one of the lady employees. He explained
that he had just been discharged from his posi-
ton in another department, and he attributed
this mainly 70 the fact that was known that his
wife was in governments employment. He then
went on TO suggest that his wife be DISCHARGED,
and her place be given to him.

Arranging Her Bangs in the White House.
Washington Special.
1t was Ohio day at the White House to-day,
The greater part of the callers ON the President
being citizens of the Buckeye State. Among
them were two young ladies, of them the
daughter of prominent army officer The latter
created a mild sensation in rather novel way.
She arrived at the White House probably fifteen
minutes before the President was ready to come
down to the East Room to receive his callers.
She was provided with a seat in the main
vestibule AS it was announced
the President was in the East
Room, she began to prepare her
self for the call. She first arranged her
dress, then shook out the ribbons OF her hat
Her next move was to draw out from her pocket
puff, and with a supply of f1eur de riz she com
pleted her toilet by powderrg her face. There
was no mirror handy, but her companion super
vised the job. After entering the East Room
she made straight march for of the large
mirrors In corner of the room. where, unob-
served, except by a few she brushed off the SUI
perfluous powder By this time the greater part
of the crowd had passed the President. Then
putting OH the peasantest kind of a smile, she
approached the President with a confident air
and shook his hand. The whole proceeding was
noticed by few Of the regulars who are in the
East Room whenever a reception is held.

Spared for a Medal.

At the Olympic theater last evening the
sparring match announced to take place be-
tween Prof. John S. Barnes and Prof
Charles Hadley came off. Though the
house was not as full as On the preceding
evening to witness the bout between Will
son and Lannan, the performance of last
evening was decidedly the most interesting.
AS we expected Barnes proved the more
apt sparrer, and had no trouble hitting
the colored giant wherever he
took occasion to. This sport, which was
interesting to Barnes, was not so for Had
ley, who took exceptions to it by getting
hot and calling out for Barnes to stand up
and fight. Occasionally Barnes would stand
squarely up and would not dodge but Had
ley then found as much trouble hitting him,
for each Of his blows would easily be par
ried and he would receive stinging re-
minder in return. When time was
called at the end of each round
Hadley would follow Barnes to his corner
and look cross-eyed at the public, thinking it
was in sympathy with him. Hadley cannot
spar. and it is all foolishness for him to get
upon the stage and he laughed at. He can
stand as much pounding as any slugger that
ever came to st. Paul. but he is only fit to
fight with those who have no knowledge of
science, such as Thompson. In the last
round both men were badly winded,
and hit lightly. Ed Hilton, before the per-
formance commenced announced that a
medal would be awarded the winner, and,
when the end had come, said that while the
contest was very even and hard to decide, it
was his opinion, nevertheless, that Barnes
won the testimonial. His decision was re-
ceived with applause by the audience, and
sneering look from Hadley. Hadley was

another sweeping change in officers at the
approaching election. Mr.. David Bonner
who retired one year ago, and who is in
favor of Mr.. j. D. Ripley, has
again been asked to accept the
presidency of the club. The track has
been all the week in fine condition for fast
driving. Although the national horse show
at Madison Square garden was largely at
tended, it barely paid expenses. One of
the stockholders remarked to-day that he
would sell his dividend for 10 cents. The
management seems to be extravagant.
Radical changes are contemplated for the
next exhibition. The riders and hounds
will be active next week. The Meadow
Brook club will hunt on Monday. Thursday
and Saturday. The gilded youth will be in
high feathers on those days. Charles An
derson, the champion long distance rider,
is here trying to arrange for a six-day race
against champion bicycle riders at Madison
Square garden. He proposes to use twenty
horses in the journey, and says that Bergh
will have no cause to interfere. The
question is whether the affair
can be made to pay. William
Edwards, president of the Cleveland club,
is here preparing for vigorous move on
the board OF review for confirmation of ex-
pulsion Of Dunbar. The Western friends
OF Dunbar wish action postponed until the
board meets at Chicago in May, but the
