Louder has been making some inquiries
upon the subject. From 4 leading

has worked steadily IN his Office until
O'Clock. and then has come down and
guided down a ten-minute lunch. he
has then rushed back TO work. and his
only recreation has been q short ride
every afternoon with Dan Lamont.
His dinners he has eaten in a rather IN
social way, and his private dinners have
lasted only about half hour. In his
excursions about Washington you never
see him out riding with ladies or en-
gagged in social conversation. Even
after his dinner, when most men ike 10

Cleveland has gone up stairs and walk
ed alone up and down the corridor
while he smokes, his cigar. When he

labored along often until midnight

mon of work, and his greatest pleasure

he will develop something of a social
nature. III he does not, Mrs Cleveland
will have TO have q life apart from her
husband. tits as bard TO leach an old

From the Presidents marriage to the
anti-oleomargarine bill-which mas been
under discussion in the House for near
~ two weeks. and to which referred in

bill, however. passed the House, and as
it stands imposes q tax Of 500 annual
ly.upon the manufactured, $3.50 on the
wholesale dealer. and SIS on the retail
dealer. Every package has to be
stamped and labeled TO show what it is,
and there is to be an additional tax Of
five cents per pound on all of the article
made and sold. The bill, however, is
not yet law. 1t now goes toth= SEN

with much opposition. II not defeated.
Some wise, talkatiye Senators may be
expected 10 attack this oleaginous sub
ject with great vigor. IL Is At theme
for the hot weather; for the oil will
pour out of many of the fat Senators
before long. Oleomargarine is said to
be wholesome. The same cannot be
said of all that is put upon the butter.

what be Senate will do with the bill.
But even II il should pass the Senate,
