GIRLS WHO CANNOT WALTZ.
English Beauties Whose Contour is
Marred by Dull Faces

I've seen quite a number of handsome
English girls and women with statuesque
busts and regal carriage, lovely complex
ions and fine neckS, and shapely heads, but
something or other always marred the total
effect, writes London correspondent of
the Chicago News.
Either they had red-skinned, badly
modelled arms (the most common defect,
or stupid, dull face, protrudng eyes. re-
ceding chin, etc.-sOmething was invariably
the matter with them. With all that, Eng
lish women are the worst dressed females
on the globe. Expensive laces, velvet
gowns, flashing diamonds, etc., in plenty,
but no gracefulneSS in wearing them, no
well-titting garments. no ''chic"-or to ap-
ply an American term, no style"
Why. have been aStonished at the awk-
ward motions, the dreary gossip, the hum
drum conversation, carried on among the
society people here in the drawing-rOom-
old stagers, some of them, who ought to
know better. And then, English girls
can't dance. They especially cannot waltz.
1t was stated to me on good authority
that the Prince of Wales doesn't know how
to reverse, and that it, therefore, was con-
sidered bad form" to waltz properly. But
it's my belief-fOunded on individual obser-
vatiOn-that even if the Prince of Wales
knew how to waltz the rest of England

MIR. wHITNEY,s REFORM.

Washington society may not be getting
down to the Jeffersonian standard of
simplicity under the reform regime, as has
been hoped for, yet it is undeniable that il
is making some progress in that direction.
for all of which we are devoutly thankful.
Secretary WHITNEY is entitled to credit for
making the most progress as a Jetfersonian
reformer. And it is a little singular that
it should be so, too. Those who have been
in the habitof attending Democratic conven-
tons for the past ten or twelve years will
remember that Mr.. WHITNEY always turned
up in a claw-hammer coat and white shirt
bosom. His swell style of dressing left the
impression on the public mind that the sec
rotary of the navy would be the last indi-
yidual in official life at Washington to tum-
BILE to the popular demand for more sim
plicitv in the social customs of the national
capital. But. strange to relate, he is the
first. He gave a state dinner the other
day from which ladies were excluded. 1t
was indicated OH the invitation cards that
the occasion was to be no dress show.
where silks, satins and fine jewels were
to be put on exhibition. as is usual
at these swell receptions given by high
government officials at the national capital.
Card were sent to all the jOlliest members
of congress and official dlgnataries, and the
BOYS were notified to come prepared TO
have a good time. And they did. The
event is described as closely resembling an
old fashioned stag party on the frontier in
the days when there were no women TO
grace the festal board. This was pretty
big jump for way-up society man like
Mr.. WHITNEY to make but he made it,
and it was successful. 1t is time
now for the president and the other
members of the cabinet to follow
Mr.. WHITNEY's example and get the social
status of Washington down to a simpler
basis. Mr.. CLEVELAND could start of
with ''sugar billing" this spring. Mr.
MANNING could have a house-raising and
invite the neighbors in for days work, to
be followed by nights dance and frolic.
Next fall Mr.. BAYARD could give an APP
ple-paring on his Delaware farm, while
Mr.. GARLAND could have all old-time corn
husking down on his Arkansas plantation.
The reform wave is sweeping the country
back to the customs of the primitive days,
and if the other members of the admins
tration don't do something to show that
they are in sympathy with it Mr.. WHITNEY
will capture the next presidential nominal
ton. as sure as fate.

BEN BUTLRR,s PIETY.

The newspapers are doing a good deal of
unkind and unnecessary sneering at BEN
BUTLER because he was recently discovered
reading the Bible in his room in New
York hotel. IL the devil can quote Scrip
ture there is no reason why BEN BUTLER
should not enjoy the same privilege. Be-
sides. BUTLER is getting along toward the
sunset Of life. the time when men usually
recall their thoughts from secular things
and commence to lay up their treasure in a
world where there is more security than in
this. The government is making a Wig
Orous effort just at this time to
extract from Gen. BUTLER's pock-
cts a large sum of money which is
supposed TO belong TO the Soldiers Home.
BUTLER is not a man to relax his grip on
anything that has a value attached 10 II,
and from the present aspect of affairs it
looks as if Gen. BUTLER's only chance TO
evade payment of the claim that the gov
eminent makes upon him is to transfer his
bank account to another world. BUTLER
is also very cautious man and it was
probably with view of ascertaining some
thing about the security of the celestial
bank before making transfer that he was
looking over the Scriptural records. What
ever Ben BUTLER does he has deep hid
den motive for doing.

troubles throughout Texas remain il. statu
quo. There are assurances that both sides
will probably attempt coup detat to-mOr-

rrYsTERIOUsLY MURDERED.
A Mans Head split Open With n
CieaVer.
Special to the Globe


Special to the Globe.
QUINCY, ILL.,, March About o'clock
this morning TWO hunters discovered the
body of man lying in shallow water atthe
edge of slough, about two miles south of
the city limits. The men came
10 the city and notified the cor
oner. Investigation developed the fact that
the man had been murdered and his body
cast over a steep bank into the slough. The
murdered man was a stranger i'm this city,
but numerous papers and letters found on
his person indicated that his name
was Ed Hogan, and that he had recently
been in the employ of the Hannibal
& ST. Joe Railroad company in the capacity
of section foreman. His head was split
open with a cleayer or broadaXe. His
throat was cut. and he was stabbed in the
right side. When his body was thrown
over the bank his entire brain fell out. 1t
seems certain that the murder was commit
ted no later than Friday night and possibly
last night. No one i'm this city
KNEW THE DEAD MAN,
but Detective Purcell says he saw him at
the Park theater last Wednesday night.
A program of the Park theater for that
night was found on his person. No money
or valuables of any kind were found on
his person. The murder is one of the most
mysterious ever committed in this city.
This evening a man living near where the
body was found informed the detectives
that about o'clock last night he heard
frantic les for help coming from the
direction where the body was found.
The lonely and unfrequented locality
leads to the belief that the man, being a
] stranger. never went there alive, but was
murdered and his body carried there.
Numerous cuts and bruises on his hands
show that he made desperate fight tOI
his life. He appears TO have been about
! 80 years old, and was a powerful man.

Prostitution, Disfigured and Dead.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., March John
Rene, John Herbert Edwin Roundy. and
his brother George, all farm hands, spent
an hour last night drinking at Plckwick's
hotel, three miles from this city. and then
Rene and Herbert went home. Nothing is
known of the whereabouts of the Roundy
brothers from that time until a. M,
when Mrs. Ann S. Gray, who owns
the hotel, was aroused by a man shouting.

her clerk, Henry c. Littlefield. who found
George Roundy in the doorway. The latter
led the way 10 the road, where lay the body
of Edwin. still warm. with his face covered
with blood. and the eXtremities frost bitten.
There were seven bruises over mis- eyes, and
his nose and face were badly disfigured.
The body was taken into the hotel. George
was completely overcome with grief and
horror. He could give no information as
to how his brother met death, saying he
could remember nothing after leaving the
bar-room. He was taken into custody and
arrangements for an autopsy and inquest

lacked definite aim In life. Her mental
horizon was bounded by the desire to shave
a good time" and she generally contrived TO
have 1t with the ever-ready assistance of
young men to whom. IL labor was a neces-
sity at all, 1t was only as means towards
acquiring that ''goOd time" There was no
concentration upon a fixed object. no
endeavOr TO give worthy and lasting color
TO life, nothing but the ephemeral pleasure
of the passing moment. The result was a
shallowness which did not betoken the lack
of brains, but dlsnclination to put them
into active operation. That the same con-
dition of things appears largely elsewhere,
of course with the usual exceptions. the
close observer can testify. The American
girl with great deal of leisure fntters
her time and opportunities away upon
specifically acquiring half dozen so-called
accomplishments without really becoming
thoroughly acquainted with any one. As
far as devoting herself TO any especial pur-
pose is concerned, she expects her brother
to attend TO all that, which he too frequently
does not He doesn't know exactly what he
wants TO do. or what he is fitted for. and in
consequence spends the best part of his
earlier life in vacillating from one thing to
another before he really settles down for
good TO any one occupation. 1t
may be the fault of false
idea of social conditions or the
lack of the right sort of home training.
but be that as 1t may the evil certainly ex-
lists. Without fixed point towards which
to steer, the voyage of the vessel is apt to
be purposeless. There is no question as to
the ability of American youth to accom-
plish, within reasonable limitations. what
ever they may determinedly fix upon, the
only doubt is regarding their inclination to
so concentrate and exert themselves.

THE COUNTRY'S LAWMAKERS.
A Lively Debate Promised in the
Senate To-day.


WASHINGTON. March THE chief bust
ness of the senate for the coming week is
expected to be the discussion of the resOlu-
tons reported from the Judiciary committee
concerning the refusal of the attorney gen.
eral to transmit all the papers in the
Dustien case. The debate will begin at 3
o'clock tomorrow. Senator Plumb has
given notice that he will call up during the
morning hour tomorrow the bill for the
forfeiture of certain lands granted to the
state of Iowa to aid in the construction of
railroads. Senator Van Wyck has signifed
his purpose to press the widows pension
bill at the earliest possible moment. and
Senator Hoar will seek tn secure action
upon the electoral count bill before the end
of the week. Two appropriation bills, the
pensions and urgent deficiency, have passed
the house and there are now in committee
of the whole awaiting action the Indian
pOstOthce, military academy, army, consular
and diplomatic and district of Columbia ap-
preparation bills Most of the time during
the present week will be consumed in the
consideration of one or more of these meas
uTeS. and ii is probable that at least one of
them will be passed. After the usual call
of states tomorrow the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds will be entitled to
the floor and will call up for passages num-
Der OF measures providing for the erection
of public buildings throughout the country.
The committee on Pacific railroads will en-
deavor to bring before the house during the
morning hOur on Tuesday the bill requiring
the Pacific railroads to pay the cost OF sur
veying and taking out patents for their
lands, so as TO subject them to local taxa
ton. There are various other measures on
n 4
ness, but in view of the number of pending
appropriation bills it is not likely that any
of them will reach final action during the
week.

THAT EXPLAINS 1T.

1t is discovered at last why Senator Ed
MUNDs is making such goose of himself
during the present session of congress. The
new restaurant keeper in the senate base
ment is Maine Prohibitionist. The frigid
senator from the Green Mountain state has
not been accustomed to drinking cold tea
with prohibition trimmings, and has eonse-
quently lost his wits. And they do say
that it was set-up job on the old man, and
that BLAINE and EvARTs had finger in
it. When the senate gets back 10 hot
whisky punch for beverage Mr.. EDMUNDs
will recover his faculties and then he will
realize his folly.
