An intimate friend Of Mrs. Hen.
bricks, in speaking of the 50 called
indignity, exclaimed: "Mrs. Hen
bricks is representative woman,
and will not submit to this over
ruling Of her presidency. Mrs.
Grant never held a reception with.
out inviting Mrs. Collax to assist,
and in her absence Mrs. Colfax was
the first lady. The Western peO-
pie and press have come to the sup
port of Mrs. Hendricks, and they
will see that she has her rights |
mean socially. Miss Cleveland is
nothing socially. At state dinners
the President should escort the
wife Of the Vice President, who
should sit at his right, and the
Nlce-President should escort the
wife OF the Speaker. We want no
more of this Arthur rudeness. IN.
stead OF taking Mrs. Carlisle on his
arm at certain state dinner he
took Mrs. Frelinghuyscn, and Mrs.
Carlisle would have left the build.
ing had she not been too much of a
lady. When Mrs. Hendricks came
to Washington after the Inaugural
ton Mrs. Carlisle called upon Mrs.
Hendricks and yield TO her the
hOnors due to her station. But
Mrs. Hendricks has never been
invited to the White House, not
even to the first reception. When
Miss Cleveland is hostess it is her
duty to stand at the Presidents
right, and should present the guests
to the wife of the Nice-President.

This friend of Mrs. Hendricks
proceeded:
4" When Mrs. Manning, the wife
OF the Secretary of the Treasury,
came to Washington, she said to a
prominent lady in society: / may
understand the etiquette of New
York, but | am not familiar with
the etiquette of Washington, and
yOn must tell me- shall take the
points from YOU And Mrs. Whit
ney, the wife of The Secretary of
the Navy, sent for Mrs. Hopkins to
receive with her"
But how about Mrs. Edmnndsw
was asked.
Mrs. Edmunds, being the wife
of the President Of the Senate pro
tenn, would be entitled to prcce.
dence OF the wife of the Speaker
There being no wife Of the Presi-
dent or Ylcc-President, she would
be the first lady; bat Mrs. Ed
munds is in mourning; therefore
the wife Of the speaker would come
next.
"Nlrs. Frelinghuyscn during the
last Administration usurped the
pace o. MIS-. EumnndS and
then of Mrs. Carlisle. We claim
that the order Of precedence for
women in social life in Washing.
ton IS, first, the wife Of the Presl-
dent; second, the wife of the Vice
President; third, the wife of the
Speaker, and fourth, the wife Of
the Secretary of State
Itappears that the feminine mind
Is so worked up about this matter
that Hiss Cleveland has been much
annoyed by anonymous letters dis.
putting her right and title to the
first ladyship. In the meantime
Mrs. Hendricks is making arrange.

New York writer. The woman, for
whose sake Fisk was killed, is the
shadow of her former self. Occasion
ally she may be- seen on Broadway,
and her well worn black silk indicates
that her purse is not as well supplied
as IN Fisk's palmy days. Since Stokes
killed Fisk and went to prison for it,
he has never spoken to the woman
whose fatal fascination led him on to
his crime.

The recently completed Severn tun~
mel is one of the greatest engineering
works of the age. It was built by the
Great Western railroad company of
England, to give direct commUnica-
ton between their British line and
South Wales. 1t is unique as a work
of the kind, inasmEch as it passes un
der an arna of the sea. The tunnel
extends from New Passage to Ports
kewet, a distance of about two and
one>half miles under the water, it's
entire length, exclusive ofapproaches,
being about four and one-half miles.
The work has been ia progress for
thirteen years, and the total cost can,
not fall below IS, 100000 The prin-
cipal difficulties encountered in the
work We're not from the water of the
estuary itself, but from subterranean
spring Ia the rock itself, through
which the behring's were made. Sew
eral times the works were filled with
water. On one occasion a body of
water which gushed forth at the rate
of 1900 gallons per minute was met.
Pumping apparatus, however, capable
of carrying it off was erected, and the
difficulty obviated. The tunnel opens
new chapter in engineering of this
class.
