vICE-PREsIpENT HENpRICKs.

It was the death of the vice president of
the United States He had died suddenly at
his home in indianapolis at o'clock p NJ.
The year 1885 will be remarkable in the an
mails of neurology for the death of distin-
guished persons 1t was characteristic of
human nature that the announcement of Mr..
Hendricks death in the journals next morn
ing was accompanied by the beginning of
that dispute about who was to be his success
sor. Nobody is so important that his place
cannot be filled three hours after his death.
That, above all, is the lesson of this sudden
demise to us who survive.
Thomas Andrews Hendricks was native
of Ohio. He was born near GAINESVILLE, on a
farm, Sept Z, 1919. His parents, however,
removed to Indiana when T. A. was only six
months old. They finally settled near Shell
byville where the vice-presidents youth was
spent
When Mr. Hendricks death was announced,
the town of Shelbyville sent this dispatch of
coincidence to Mrs. Hendricks:
"The appalling information of your hus-
bands untimely death has just shocked and
stricken with grief his many devoted friends

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-"Cabinet calling
days" will begin the first Wednesday in Janu-
ary, and continue on Wednesdays through
the winter. No city in the United States is
governed by such iron etiquette as Washing
ton. The first thing a new presidential or
cabinet lady does when she comes to the
capital is to get somebody to instruct her in
the social duties of her position. The wives
of the presidents counsel are not cabinet
officers themselves. They are nobody in par
tcular, and in simple republic certainly do
not deserve to have a great fuss made over
them Actually they are no more than the
wife of any private citizen.
YET our government borrows from foreign
courts social usages, which sit absurdly upon
democracy. There is with every new ad-
ministration a tempest in teapot about who
goes in to dinner first among the cabinet
women, and as much heart burning and rage
in gentle breasts as there is said to be among
the numerous children and children-in-law of
her blessed majesty, Queen Victoria 1t is
ridiculous, it is pitiable, but it is fact. Now
that the vice president is dead we shall have
Washington convulsed again on whether the
secretary of states lady shall or shall not
walk in front of the wife of the president of

Anybody can call on the cabinet ladies

nice people who go to Washington to call
on the president and the cabinet ladies on
their regular receiving days.
Honest citizens of both sexes who don't go
to Washington however, will be interested

A Question in the Clubs.
[cor. San Francisco Argonaut.l


A question that is matter of serious dis
cnssion in all the New York clubs is whether
a member has right to fall asleep in his
chair in any of the public rooms. One side
contend that club is members home,
and he would take nap in his chair il he
were at home surrounded by the members
of his family. The other side say that il
would be impolite and indecorous for
gentleman to go to sleep in his chair in dis
regard of his guests. and claim that the
other members sre mis- guests. A third
party is willing enough that the sleepy
heads should be allowed nap in their
chairs, provided they do not snors or make
themselves Objectionable. but admit it is
hard to discriminate Tt is probable that
sooner or later room provided with cosy
sofas will be furnished in each club for the

United States senators almost from the days
when they were primordial protoplasnlic
organisms Thomas is now 81 years old. In
1869 he was elected senator from Delaware,
succeeding his father. He was serving his
third term when: he became secretary of
state. He is highly ornamental one, with
his fine manners and classic face. How
would bottle-nosed secretary of state look?
Mr.. Bayard never was a soldier ON either
side. He shuns display, social as well as
military. He lives in plain three-story house
with mansard roof. 1t is a red brick, with
a veranda across the front. The house is
shaped like the typical American head,
high and narrow. 1t is less thar 30 feet

A Serious Word.

The word serious is SO systematically mis-

he could whip Morrissey, the only,
condition being that he could not
be told whom he was fighting.
His hackers feared that bis pluck would
vanish if he knew that the tremendous Nor
rissey was fronting him. 1t was arranged
that Phil should be led unwittingly into the
rear yard of tavern, where MorrisSey
should force an apparently casual quarrel,
with a rough rand tumble battle to follow.
Ths scheme was carried out, and Morrissey
was soundly thrashed.
This same Phil Bernard came down to
New York recently, and tsll In with Mike
Murray, who had been r witness of the

the sights of the town and Mike notified it
to several cronies that he bad plan for

tion for adventure, Phil sauntered intoa con-

table, and paid no attention to Mike and

Democratic simplicity. GARLAND's HOUSE.
But there may be such a thing as carrying it
too far. The chief officers of the mightiest
republic the world ever knew owe something
to their country in the way of style.
Attorney General Garland boasts that he
never wore an evening dress in his
life, and that he would as soon think
of using his office to promote his
private ends as Of getting into one, or words
to that effect. To which one can only say,
For shame, Mr.. Garlandi It is no credit TO
man that he never wore dress suit. The
statement might do for electioneering pur-
poses down among the crackers, but among
