THE EVENING CRITIC.
MIR. ooLMANs CHIEF CLERK.
The Man who Succeeds General
Carmen.

Chrncus
when Francis G. Nesbit of Missouri
steps into the chief clerkship of the De-
partmont Of Agriculture tho employees will
be stunned said a Mssourian to Critic
reporter this morning. Frank lives down
in osceola, ST. Clair County, and is ono OF
the most polished orators in the West. His
favorite costume is broadcloth coat, gray
jeans pantaloons and vest, blue necktio,
and black, slouched hat. He generally
wears glossy white shirt and throws his
vest open to the last button. lie will charm
everybody at the Department with his
childlike simplicity, his unlagging polite
ness and his seeming helplessness unless
his subordinates stand by him. But he is
one Of the most thorough and systematic
executive officers in the country, and be-
fore month the Department will find his
master hand on its shoulders and his keen
gray eyes peeriDg everywhere. Woe betide
the man OF woman who trihes with Frank
Nesbit. lie is as gentle as he is honest
but it's just as well not to rub the fur the
wrong way. give you that as a pointer.
He is accustomed to rule, and Is thoroughly
familiar with public business, and it
wouldn't be bad idea for the Department
clerks to withhold some OF their advice
about how to run things. Frank has long
black hair and a stubblcd beard, but he
knows hawk from hernshaw-and don't
you forget it' Our representative said ho

alluding to the children and other innocent

along this refreshing platform orator init

WHITE HOUSE ORGIES.

Very queer entertainments are being held
at the White House, according to recent ru-

ter. Even Hayes furnished an abundance
OF sour lemonade at his card parties, but
Mr.. Arthur serves not even plain water.
There is an i'll concealed anxiety to
get rid of the guests early in the night. The
President, however. gives the wink to a GER
tain select few, and when the others have
departed, then comes on a very thigh old
time" which continues until o'clock in
the morning. The correspondent OF the
New York World. in abiding to these all
night orgies, says that certain Representa-
tive made boast that he drank two bottles

SIT through the festivities. Here is a wide
field for the W. G. I. U. II is refreshing to
be informed that there is q conservative, old
fashioned element OF Washington society
that is very much shocked at these ill-timed
all night orgies. This 'fastness'' in White
House circles is not creditable to those en-
gagged in ii. During Grants second admin
istration there were wei authenticated ru-
mors that the reconstructed Republican
rebel chieftsin Moseby and the President
would occasionally wax merry until the
'wee sma' hours" over carafe of whisky,
but then the frolics were not disguised as
card receptions, but simply passed into the
gossip of the times as plain DRINKS.
