The Wife of Cabinet Officer Who Has a
Mania for Puppies.
Washington Letter.
During the past winter there has been consid-
cradle gossip in Washington concerning the
penchant of Cabinet minister's wife for petting
young dogs. This lady is luminary in society,
and her gift of repartee is a matter that has
often received the commentator of brilliant
men and women. But she has mania for
fonding too infantile products of the brute crea-
ton that has not only surprised but shocked the
circle in which she moves. In rear room of
her house she has sort of canine nursery, whore
ut least dozen young puppies are provided for,
fed upon the deicacies Of the market and nursed
with all the solicitude which mothers usually
manifest toward their own offspring. In her
flower garden the lady is often seen with two of
these pets-one in each arm-cuddling them to
her bosom, while a waiting -maid attends with
others There are poodes, pugs, black canadians,
SPITE puppies and woolly miniatures of all de-
gree&. All are arrayed in flaming garments of
red and gold, and variegated bows of ribbon be-
deck their tails or necks. Now and then the lady
visits neighbors in the vicinity, and on these
occasions she invariably carries fayorite pet in
her arms or leads him by pink cord. People
have gossipped so much about the strange infat-
pation of the lady that it is said her husband
has protested against the habit, but in vain.
She goes right along caressing her little dogs
and swapping her fingers at her hus oand.

writing his own name He was, however, q
natural orator, and, with proper advantages,

ability. He was one Of the men who sold out to
the Democrats and made it possible to elect
Butler to the Senate about ten years ago. 1t is

the extremely prudish ladies who showed their
