A Serious Blow for Dude
Clerks.
Special to the Times. Democrat.

| GEECld1 W tuO 4lMb6'D6m0eIat.
Washington, March IL
Secretary Lamar's action has
paralyzed the dudes of the de.
partment. The chiefs of the
different bureaus, the principal
clerks in the State Department
and at the White House were
in the habit of riding down to
their offices in elegant coupes.
The vehicles were very stylish
fand the drivers were in gorgeous
livery. These anointed crea-
lures used to drive up to their
Offices in u fashion that filled the
bystanders with awe. They
dawdled at their desks, lounged
over to the Metropolitan Club,
chewed their toothpicks and
snubbed the defenseless public.
At an early hour in the after
noon their coup6s would drive
up and haul these curled and
scented darlings to their res
pectiye residences.
Secretary Lamar has changed
all this, SO far as concerns his
department, and has alarmed
and. sickened the dudes of the
other departments. He has or
dered the sale of all. these gilt
tering chariots, which were car
ried on the rolls as vehicles
for public use;" and he has re-
turned to their legitimate en-
ployment the liveried hunkeys
who manned the same.
A holy shiver has gone
through the coterie. Every ele-
giant swell in any or all of the
departments has felt that a
blow has fallen. Every one of
them has said to himself that
the elements are sinister, and
that the institutions of years are
about to be uprooted. But
Secretary Lamar has made bis
little motion, and it seems TO be
true that President Cleveland is
quietly backing, aud approving
all he does.

either Neither
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The pronunciation of" either
and neither" has been a bone
of contention among the would
be purists for some time.
Two drummers were %disputing
this question very holly one
night in a smoking car on the
Central road. One insisted that
"itber ~and nither' were cor
rect, while the other stoutly
maintained that only dudes und
AHglonaniaes. would SO pro-
noiluce the words, and that
9 either aud "neither" were
the proper pronunciation.
They argued pro and con
without either one being CON
linced, and finally agreed to
leave it to the man in the next
seat. They woke him up aud
stated the case.
Now, then, which Is right Z"
asked one of the drummers,
+" nither or neither p
Nayther," responded the
Irishman, aud settled back to
sleep, while the rest of the car
accepted an invitation to take
IA pull out of the drummers'
TASKS.

A Lesson in Self Control.

M v - ''A'Ni
One day, when [ was IA sery
little girl, | was watching my
mother making strawberry pre-
serves. | can see the great
kettle of boiling liquid now,
clear as rubies, Beside the
stove stood a large milk pau
containing some squash fol-
company pies, with a plenty
of milk and eggs in it. Now,
Bridget, !" said my mother, at
last, in a satisfied tone, cit is
done; take the kettle off. This
was accomplished, and then,
with almost incredible stupid
ity, the help" actually emp
tied the strawberries into the
squash! My mother turned her
head just too late. She was
quick and impulsive, but there
escaped from her mouth only a
despairing, aOh, Bridget! T.
Then as she saw the girls in-
stantly regretful face, she uttered
no angry reproaches,' no useless
lamentations. No doubt when
my tired mother, who was not
strong Il lost her at 15), went
upstairs to rest, she felt dis
heartencd, and thought that her
preserves and squash, her time
aud labor, had all been wasted
but, probably, she never did for
me a more valuable mornings
work than when she gave me
that unconscious lesson in sweet
self-control.

The trustees of the University of
Pennsylvania have determined to build
a large hospital and stable for the
treatment of diseases of dogs, horses,
COWS and other domestic animals. A
great deal of preparation has been
already made in the direction of found
ing a veterinary hospital, and several
professors have been in Europe fitting
themselves for this work. There are
more fancy cattle owned around Phila-
delphia, it is said, than about any other
city except Boston, and some of the
finest die from want of surgical atten-
ton. A special department is to be de-
voted to the care Of pet and sporting
dogs. A well-known Philadelphia
lady proposes endowing a department
for cats. The Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals and the
Anti ivisection both oppose the
project.
