well lighted Office as secretary of the navy,
he is as unassuming and democratic as
though his clothes were hoznespun and his
boots were cowhide. 1t is William G. Whit

Payne's son-in-law, the Croesus Of Cleve-
lands cabinet, and the most princely enter
tainer in Washington
Secretary Whitney has had his presiden-
tial laboratory going ever since the day of
the Inauguration, and his political wires have
been plated with gold. He rubbed the Alad
DIN lamp OF MS fortune, and IN night, al
most, he converted the old Frelinghuysen
mansion into royal magnifcence. He said
his "open sesame" and the dainties of the
world appeared upon his tables free to every
decent man who would come and eat. Night
after night, week after " eek, and month after
month his house has overaowed with the in
fuential people from all parts of the United
States, and now that Lent has come his wife
is to continue in entertainments to the wives
of politicians at his country home.
Secretary Whitney's arrangements for
such an ante-presidential campaign are won
derfully complete. He has bought country
seat of about 100 acres within three miles of
Washington. There is a fine, large old

: Suicide of a princely amber.

Pail Mall Gazette.
Prince MeliSSano,Fa member of one of
the best NeapOlitan families, committed
suicide in Paris on Tuesday afternoon on
returning from his club, where he had seen
his name posted as a defaulter. Prince
MeliSsano had lost at the same club more
than $50, 900 within two or three years.
and had often applied for time and
made payment at the date promised
His creditor on this, as on previous
occasions, had placed the debt en- carte, as
it is called-that is to say. had deposited in
the hands of the proper official a card stat
ing that the prince was to pay $50. The
time having expired without the amount
having been paid, the official published the
fact. When the prince entered the club he
noticed his name stuck up against the mir
rOr. He went close to the glass, looked at
it. and then without saying word took I'D
his hat and went home. There he placed a
loaded revolver against his right temple,
discharged it, and fell dead.
More than six years ago the prince had
spent his last farthng, yet since then had
lived in Paris like a man worth els, 600 or
500. 600 a year. without doing anything
rendering him amenable to the tribunals.
He had made the business Of getting into
debt a science. and most of his creditors
allowed their claims TO increase in order
not to have to confess that the money was
sunk and that so charming nObleman was
hOpeleSsly insOlvent. To such a length
did he carry the art that he created fresh
resources, partially paying off a fraction of
the army of old creditors at the expense OF
new ones. That was especially the case
with gambling debts. The prince was only
a little over 10 wears old.

young women who represent what is best
and highest in young womaDhood, whose
purposes in life extend beyond the frlvoll-
ties of dress and outward adornments,
there is, on the other hand. a large per-
centage that look upon life ''as Joke
that's just begun to borrow an expression
from popular opera.
These young women live under the delu-
sion that social distinction. beauty OF per-
son and richness of apparel make the
woman. They are slaves to custom and
fashion, and revel in external attractions.
They accept the glitter for the gold. her
aldry and trapping of the world for the
priceless essence of woman'S worth, which
exists within the mind. Their highest at
tainment is not the possession OF true
w0manhOod, but that their position IN So
ciety may be conspicuous One and thereto
they bend all their energies. Hours are
spent over the latest fashion plates, while
days are given over to the making and per-
fecting OF new apparel. They forget that
true woman exists independent of out
ward embellishments that dress is regarded
by many as only the ivy that encircles the
oak, and is never mistaken for the thing it
adOrnS.
1t is not the queen of fashion that sways
the scepter Of influence or authority over
men. 1t is in the hand OF the true, noble.
sensible and virtuous woman that authority
is placed. and where she dwells there may
refinement. culture, intelligence and moral
power be found The influence of such a
young woman upon society Is that OF the
most salutary kind
But what is that Of the reigning society
belle? Many may admire her for the
moment, when, in brilliantly lighted par
lors, her beauty and charms dazzle the eye;
but what are the after-concluSions? silly
creature, wrapped up in herself and the
world" was the comment of an apparent
admirer upon young belle after an event
full social occasion in New York only lew
weeks since. Fashion and folly never
gained an ounce of respect worth the pos
session, and never will. Young women,
alas! too often mistake adulation for re-
spect, only to find at the end that II was
but hollow mockery. and like pyrotecnnlc
display, prepared for the occasion.
a true young woman's ambitions stretch
beyond the ballroom and the mllllners
establishment. She strives to make her
life grand in womanly virtue, and by her
example inspires Others to secure the same
priceless crown of wOmanhood. This Is the
woman that commands the respect and ad-
miration Of the world, not temporarily. but
permanently. In her friends recognize
rich store of practical good sense and
beautiful harmony about her character that
at once inspire sincere respect, which soon
warns into love.
