UncongeniaI White House Dinners.

After General Grant had appointed
Judge Taft Secretary of War he invited
a number OF leading Republican Sena-
tors to dine with him at the White
House, that they might become person.
ally acquainted. He forgot. however,
to invite Judge Taft, who consequently
was not present, SO those invited to
meet him did not have the pleasure Of
seeing him. On another occasion. when
Congress was investigating the Wash
ington real estate pool. General Grant
sent one of his sons to the Capitol, to in
vite informally dozen Republican Sem
ators to dine at the White House, for a
conference. The young Grant mistook
that staunch Democrat, Senator Eli
Salisbury, for Senator Morrill,, of Ver-
mont, and so invited the DeiaYarean.
His presence acted like an eXtinguisher
on all political talk, and he, after hay-
ing wondered all through the dinner
why he was invited, hurriedly took his
leave when the cigars were introduced.

MILLIONAIRE CLERKS.
TIC "iIard" Life Trey Lead in Their
Fathers Establishment.

Apropos OF fashion, the newest dodge
of prudent fathers to save their sons
from the temptations of q luxurious age
is to compel the aforesaid offspring to
20 into trade. 1t is supposed that the
requirements of business will force the
boys to avoid late hours and too much
champagne and to lead better life.
MIR. y. j. DrcXel, the banker. who is
thought 10 be the owner of fifteen or
sixteen millions, is credited with the All
thorship of the plan. Some weeks ago
he appointed his son Tony to a clerk
ship in his own clearinghouse at the
munilicent salary of twelve dollars 4
week and a midday lunch. Since then
Mr. E. G. Knight, the immensely
sugar retincr. and half dozen other
millicnaires have treated their boys SINH
larry. Fortunately the boys do not have to
pay their board or buy their own clothes
out of their salary. Young Cir. Drexel,
for example. is one of the most con-
spicuously-dressed youths in the town.
and his wages as clerk wo@ld hardly
keep him in gloves. He sometimes asks
spends his whole week salary on one
very ordinary dinner.
The way most OF these millionaire
clerks work is not embarrassing. II s
like this: They come down at len. At
half-past ten they feel the necessity OF
some exercise and take a half-hours
stroll on Chestnut street. At twelve
they take luiNAl. That lasts about an
hour and a half. and at about two
O'Clock the boys leave the Office for the
day. This. l think. is very fair state
