Kentucky and Her Speakers.

Mr.. Carlisle is the fourth speaker of
the house from Kentucky, and in him
the Blue Grass state adds to her record
as the "mother of speakers" The
sons of Kentucky have welded the
gavel for more years than any other
state in the union. OF the speakers
from Massachusetts,, Joseph b. Var
mum was the only one elected for
two terms, and their united service
covers only ten years. Virginia con-
tributed four, who served thirteen,
years, and Pennsylvania three, cover
ing eleven years. Before Mr.. Car
isles elevation to this important
chair, in 1883, Kentucky had already
furnished three speakers to the coun-
try, whose combined service covered
period of sixteen years. The re-
election of Mr.. Carlisle will, there
fore, at the close of his term place
twenty years to the credit of Ken
lucky, and put her far in the van as
the banner state for presiding officers
of the house.
The other three distinguished sons
of the state are Henry Clay, John
White and Linn Boyd. Mr.. Clay
seemed to have perpetual mortgage
on the speakers chair. He was first
elected in 1871, again in 1918, but re-
signed at the close of its first session
to be a commissioner at the Gottingen
conference to settle the term of peace
with England. On his return, in
1915, be again captured the chair, was
again reelected in the succeeding
congress, and, aftera third reelection,
resigned at the close of the first term
to look after private matters of bust
ness. After three years of retirement
he returned to the eighteenth con-
gress and was again placed in the
chair on the first ballot. He control
led the house for ten years.
John White served only one term,
from 1871 to 1913, and the eloquent
Linn Boyd presided from 1851 to 1855.
How many years of honor Mr.. Car
Isle will confer on his native state
remains and unfinished tale.

Washington Letter.

AS usual here, Christmas was day
of quiet home entertainments, and
family gatherings. The Departments
were closed, and so was the White
House. No one crossed its threshold
on that day. 1t was a private resi-
dence, and the President enjoyed the
rights Of private citizen.
Washington has never known
more prosperous Christmas tide than
the present one. Express companies
report that in number and value the
packages sent from the city this year
are in excess of those sent last year
by at least thirty-fve per cent. The
clerks in the Postoffice say that the
number of Christmas packages sent
from here this year exceed those of
last year by nearly one third. And
the merchants report very greatly in
creased sales of fancy goods for Christ
mas presents over last year. The
cause of this difference is in the poll
cy of President Cleveland. At this
time last year thousands of people
here felt that the source of their in
comes was menaced, and looked to
the sides of March" with dread.
They were too much perturbed to
permit themselves any expense that
was not absolutely necessary. A large
majority of the citizens here-wheth-
er they express it or not-feel in their
hearts that the President is to thank
for their happy Christmas.
The Speaker of the House is spend
ing his holiday time busy at work
arranging the House Committees.
Members manifest much anxiety to
know where they will be assigned.
The desire to learn their fate in this
matter before an official announce
ment of the committees was made,
kept many Congressman in Washing
ton during theholidays, who would
have gone home for their Christmas
dinners had the committees been an
nounced before the adjournment.
Many questions of grave import to
the people Of the United States be-
sides the tariff and silver will have to
be considered by the committees that
Mr.. Carlisle will name. He is pa
triot, however, as well as a States
man, and no public interest will be
sacrificed by him either through the
qualification of grudge or the indul-
gence of partiality. The changes in
the rulesrecently made involve many
changes in the committees. One aim
Of the Speaker will be to place very
cautious and judicious members upon
those committees that have charge of
the Appropriation bills.
The illusions that have been made
to Senator Beck's recent speech on
silver as an attack upon the Admin
istration were unfair. He merely
joined issue with the financial policy
of the Administration, just as he had
been criticizing the financial policy
of Republican Administrations for
years past. He referred in terms of
sympathy and eulogy to the views of
the President and Secretary Of the
Treasury as whole. But the Ken
lucky Senator is an extreme silver
man and will do all he can to defer
the suspension of Silver coinage.

tics, one day took a medicated bath,
and, on emerging from it, she was
Mortified to find herself as black as
an Ethiopian. The transformation
was complete; not vestige of the
supreme Caucasian race'' was left.
Her physician was sent for in alarm
and haste. On his arrival he laughed
immoderately, and said: MADAM,
you are not ill, you are a chemical
product. You are no longer a wO-
man, but sulphide. 1t is not now
a question of medical treatment, but
of simple chemical reaction. l shall
subject you to bath of sulphuric acid
diluted with water. The acid will
have the honor of combining with
you; it will take up the sulphur, the
metal will produce sulphate, and
we shall find as a precipitate a very
pretty woman" The good-natured
physician went through with his
reaction, and the belle was restored
to her membership with the white
race. Young ladies who are ambi,
tious of snowy compilations should
remember this, and be careful what
powders and cosmetics they use-ii
they use any at all.

retiring room In the rear OF the
throne. Meanwhile the House OF Lords pre-
sented a brillisrt spectacle. The peers, very
few Of whom were absent we're attired In their
robes Of scarlet, crimson, purple and ermine;
the ladies gallery was packed cto suffocation
by the wives, daughters and other relatives OF
the noblemen below, all In full dress. Foreign
legations was likewise crowded with specta-
tors, the majority of whom were In the uni
form OF their respective countries and rank.
A few minutes after the arrival Of the Queen
the Lord Chamberlain emerged from her
chamber and whispered to the ''Black Rodn
who SEWING his insignia Of Office, hurried
across the corridor to inform the meml ers OF
the House Of Commons that the Queen desired
their attendance. Then there was the usual
rush and crush tolerated by long usage, each
memoer seeking to be at the head in order 10
seek q position Of advantage. There was a
noteworthy exception TO this habit, however,
In the case OF the Irish members who, four
abreast, with upright heads and soldier mien,
marched with military step from one chamber
70 the other. Suddenly at a signal from the Black
Rodn the buzzing of conversation ceased, and
the Queen entered the chamber, seated herself
upon the throne and placed the crown upon
her head. a moments pause, and then, as
she handed the manuscript OF her speech to
the Lord Chancellor, the distinguished audi
cnre rose to its feet. In a slow aud impressive
manner that functionary proceeded to the
reading. Following IS a synopsis;
although IN some respects there are favor
able indications of progress toward order In
that country, yet at present Ireland is dis
turbed by an increasing tendency to resort to
unlawful Practices, and a disposition to set
the law at naught. The government, there
fore, recognizes its duty TO take energetic
steps to enfore the law In order to provide
security for life and property, and to maintain
In its fullest meaning the integrity of the
union, and measures necessary to secure these
ends will be submitted to Parliament. The
speech further promises a local government
measure for England, TO be followed by similar
measures for Scotland and Ireland, and q
bill to cheaper and facilitate the transfer of
land. II refers to the hopeful prospects Of
the Egyptian commission establishing stable
government In Egypt; says that the question
Of snnexing burmah will not be decided until
Lord Dufferln reports on the subject, but that
the deposition Of Thebaw is necessary; con
graduates parliament on the peaceful foreign
relations OF Great Britain; trusts that peace
will be maintained in the Balkans through
s%elf-control OF al the powers interested, and
concludes by expressing the hope that the new
parliament will follow the great traditions OF
former p~arllaments.
The reading was listened To with profound
attention. At its close her majesty rose
gravely, bowed to the ~assemblage and left the
house. The ommoDers hurried back to their
own quarters, the diplomats and ladies slowly
retired and the great event Was over.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The probability that q
general strike for eight hours labor will take
place on May /, is having the effect of greatly
increasing the cost of b~uildingin Chicago, and
similar results are looked for IN other trades,
not only IN this city, but throughout the
country. AS an example, the lowest bids for
the new Hendricks public school aggregate
$4,000, while buildings Of like character
have been put up for $43,o to $4,000 dur.
ing the last year. Investigations regarding
the reasons for this increase have developed
the fact that contractors generally have come
to the conclusion that the labor unions will
strike FOR eight hours.
