the r1nsr IN rnE LAND.
Mrs. John sherman the Leading Lady
at the National Capital.

t"Carp," in Cleveland Leader,l
Mrs Senator Sherman, by the election Of
her husband to the place of the Vice Presi-
dent, becomes, by Washington etiquette
the fret lady Of the land. There Is no one
better fitted TO occupy such position than
she. She is finely educated, speaks two
languages, and is better read than the wives
Of most Of our noted men. She reads the
French as easily as the English, and has a
wide acquaintance with the literature of
both languages. She has Travelled widely,
and she has been a leading figure In Wash
ington society for the past thirty years.
She is one Of the handsomest and freshest
looking women in Washington. There are
no lines of care and worry
in her face; her complexion is as
rosy as that Of country school
girl, and the silver which has crept into the
locks Of her husband has not yet made its
appearance In her smooth brown hair. Mrs.
sherman is rather retiring in her dlsposi-
tion, and, though she accepts the social du-
ties thrust upon her, she does not court
fashionable society like Mrs. Logan. She
always has n houseful OF company, both
here and at Mansfield, and especially de-
lights in making her young lady friends
happy by winter In Washington spent at
her home. She is good housewife, too,
and manages her household affairs with as
much ability as her husband does his politl-
cal ones. She is the daughter of Judge
Stewart, Of Mansfield, one of the most
prominent jurists and learned men Of his
day, and the senator married her shortly
after she had finished her education. The
two have always lived very happily to-
gether, and Mrs. Sherman, unlike the wives
Of many Of our statesmen, has kept pace
with her husbands intellectual growth, and
has been helpmate rather than a drag to
him

Tho Rlrht of Command.

Referring to an article on this subject,
which appeared originally in the United
Service Magazine aud was produced in the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, the editor of the
Magazine says
Secretary Whitney, We believe through
ignorance more than intention, has, by his
delegation Of the right Of command to the
chief Of the bureau of navigation, unques-
tlonably set aside that provision of the
constitution Of the United States that vests
the command Of the navy In the President
as commander-in-c IL is a mistake
that none but new Secretary would or
could make, TO delegate to an officer the
power vested In the executive alone; II
power which Is only exercised by the Sec
cretary OF the Navy himself by virtue of his
being the constitutional and legal repre-
sentative Of the President. So jeal0usly is
this right guarded and exercised by the
coordinate department Of the government,
the Department Of War, that the Secretary
Of War has recently detached OIL
GERS from the staff Of the lieuten-
antgeneral, in opposition to his ear
nest protest, denying him the right of
commanding officers In matters OF detail,
even to the extent Of regulating the length
of service Of officers on his personal staff
When we consider that the detail of officers
OF the navy is vested In captain, and that
the Secretary Of War deems Il an infringe
ment Of his constitutional prerogative for
the lieutenant general commanding the
army to exercise like authority over officers
Of the army, its absurdity is apparent. The
writer Of the article referred TO has done
well to remind us that the people demand
that the command of the army and navy,
Cs ordained by the constitution, shall be ex-
erclsed by the civilian Secretaries OF War
and Navy representing the President, and
that any encroaehment on that right will
IN time surely be resented by their repre-
sentatives In Congress, and show itself in
legislation hostile to the service.
The writer, in our opinion, has not over
stated the evil results existing, and which
viii continue 10 grow, from the exercise Of
command Of officers Of the navy by the chief
of the bureau Of navigation. We believe
that his exercising such power is not only
wrong but unlawful.
Our remarks are not dictated by any per-
sonal likes or dislilSes but arc called forth
in the true interests Of the naval service,
and we sincerely hope to see officers range
themselves in some strong and effective
manuer In opposition to the aggrandize-
ment OF one officer to the lasting disadvan-
tage, unchecked, OF the entire navy.

Chicago News of Oct. 30, 1885:
About q fortnight ago Commodore Walker
detailed Mr.. Kelly to Join the United States
sloop Adams at San Francisco on Wednes,
Walker and asked him TO revoke his instruc-

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
The Discovery Made by tho Police in
McPherson square-A Woman Who
May Have been Maitreated.

Inc discovery maze by tno romeo IN
McPherson square-A Woman Who
May Have Been Maitrcated.
Sergeant Diggius had just finished calling
the roll Of the men going on duty in the
fifth precinct at l2 O'Clock last night when
neatly-dresscd white woman was brought
in by an officer from police headquarters.
"Sergeant, all that is known about this
woman is bare dispatch notifying us that
she was In the grass in Mcpherson square,
and she hasn't done anything but cry Bit
terly since she has been found.n
The woman was placed in chair In the
officers sitting room, Sergeant Diggins
and several reporters and officers did their
utmost to obtain her name and find out
where she lived. She seemed TO be bysteri-
cal, and wept bitterly. Occasionally she
would start up and stare vacantly, and
mutter, "Oh, my Is he comingy" and then
drop off In an insensible condition.
DIR. Taylor, Of the Emergency Hospital,
endeavored to learn something from the
woman respecting the cause OF her trouble.
"She is suffering from some deep
trouble,n said the doctor, land her nervous
system is terribly shocked"
The woman was placed upon bed In a
witness room, aud made comfortable for
the night.
The officers are much puzzled, and are
inclined to think that some misfortune
has happened to her. She was found upon
the grass in Mcpherson square in an insen-
sible condition.
When asked where she lived, she said
that she had no home. Her condition Of
mind, however, leads the officers TO believe
that she did not know what she was saying
when she made the reply.
There seems to be n mystery about the
woman, and the circumstances that caused
her suiTerings. The police began an i'm
mediate investigation into the matter, but
nothing was revealed
ain my police experience" said Sorgt.
Diggins, ''though ! have seen much suffer
ing, nothing has awakened my sympathy so
much as this poor woman. do not know
what TO make OF her case"
The woman wore neat brown dress,
and a black and white checkcred apron, aud
gray sack. Her face was thin, and showed
traces Of deep trouble. She seemed as
though she might be housemaid in some
house In the northwest section of the city.
The strangest part of the matter is her
failure to answer the kind questions that
were put to her by the officers
DIR. Taylor remained at her side for an
hour or more, and on leaving gave direc-
ton to call him Immediately II anything
should happen.

Mr. Acton 70 hs onstod nv Inv

Treasurer Jordan left for New York
last night to take charge of the sub-treas-
ury there. Eighteen expert counters also
went on for the purpose of counting the
government funds in the vaults. Treasurer
Jordan may encounter some difficulty in
obtaining possession of the Office, us II is
understood that Mr.. Acton, the incumbent,
asserts that, in justice to himself and his
bondsmen, he cannot turn over the moneys
in his charge except to successor regl-
larly appointed by the President aud con-
tlrmcd by the Senate. This matter, however,
has been fully discussed by high officials
here and the opinion prevails that Mr.. Jor-
dan can legally take possession. Should
Mr.. Acton resolutely refuse to turn over
the fundsto to Mr.. Jordan, the Secretary, 1t
is said, could, II he considered 1t advisable.
take advantage Of section 3640 of the Re-
vised Statutes, which provides that the Sec
retary Of the Treasury may transfer the
moneys in the hands Of any depository Of

The Christmas clubs surplus.

The report Of the treasurer of the Chill
dren's Christmas Club OF the receipts
and expenditures Of the dinner and gift
distribution at the Rifles Hall has not yet
beeen made. 1t will show that thesdinner
cost 1925 and that for purchasing candy
$45 was expended. As about $625
has been subscribed to sthe caLse, a
balance Of about $225 will be left over to
the credit Of the club. This money was
collected because II was thought that many
of the gifts Cor the children would have to
be purchased, but the liberal donations of
toys made this unnecessary. This balance
VIII be carried over until next year, as the
club is now permanent organization. 1t
is intended 20 have monthly meetings Of the
officers and exective committee OF the
club in the interim. This will keep the
club In working order and II Is hoped
will prepare it to repeat the good work
next Christmas.

InnoyntIons I'm CnlIInc.

A new departure in paying Naw YEARS.
respects was inaugurated by the President
and members Of the Cabinet yesterday. The
President was, Of course, kept at the white
house, but to all Of his friends he sent his
card, and at half dozen places the card,
upon which was engraved "Mr Grover
Cleveland,n was to be seen. Other cards
read '"rhe President Of the United States. u
The members OF the Cabinet, with their Of
fetal designation engraved on their cards,
followed the Presidents example and
served two purposes, as II relieved them of
calling In person and was received with
thanks by the recipients.
Another notable feature Of yesterday was
the falling OIL Of calls at night, or, at least,
after nightfall. Most Of the calling was
done between noon and o'clock, aud in
stead OF keeping open houses after that
hour, as has been the custom, the ladies in
vited half dozen friends 10 spend the
evening, making up little parties.
