PRETTY Wicker fnrnithre.

Yon may find the, triumph Of Com
Portable furniture in wicker in Mrs.
Secretary Whitney's drawing-room.
The furniture of these two parlors is
almost entirely of wicker work, gilded
so as it appears to be made of golden
wire, and upholstered in rich brocaded
satin in many colors. There are sofas,
EASY lounges. tete-a-tete chairs and ta-
bles of this rich material, and at my
feet / noticed cute" little footstools OF
golden wire and satin tops. The satin
and the gold gives a warm tint to the
furniture. and the elastic nature OF the
wicker makes the whole the most COM
Portable Of seats and loaiing places.
Each Of these parlors is about
twenty feet long by eighteen feet wide.
The tone of the paper is a soft old yell
low with curtains and hangings to
match. \ perfect harmony of colors
reigns in the various stuffs. and in the
whole house you will not find one color
swearing at its neighbor. The old blue
of the rich parlor carpet harmoni2es
with the yellow tint of the walls, and
the silk plush portieres, with their ia
pestry embroideries, seem IA fitting part
Of the whole. The only pictures on
the parlor walls are a series of small
gems in water colors. and on the man
tel there are a number Of ARE china

ConkIing's Kindness to Women.

Roscoe Conkling is very kind to wo-
men in distress, and the enormous
charge which he puts upon his services
to great ~monopolies and ~millionaires
becomes nothing if the business is done
for a poor woman. Not long ago a
highly cultured and intelligent woman
of Washington found herself, by the
death of her husband, reduced to pow.
erty, and she was forced to go to work
in the departments, though her hus.
band had been very wealthy and had
left her a fortune. He was a widower,
| with several children at the time she
married him. and after his death the
property fell into the hands of the
children, and she could, from some
technicality or other, not get a hold
upon any Of it. She applied to the
lawyers here at Washington, and they
advised her, rs it was q case which
came under the jurisdiction Of the New
York courts, to go there and consult
New York lawyers. She had not much
money, but she went to New York and
was walking down Broadway feeling
very much worried and entirely at sea
as to where she could find a lawyer who
would give her the proper advice and
still not charge her more than she could
afford to pay. As she passed the
Western Union building she saw upon
| the steps Roscoe Conkling and another
gentleman talking. She had seen
Conkling often in Washington, but had
never been introduced to him. He had
also noticed her Us she passed by this
day. He looked up and their eyes met,
and she internationally smiled a recogni-
tion. Senator Conkling at once left the
gentleman to whom he was talking. and
held out his hand. He said: Madam,
/ do not remember where ! have met
| you, but / see from your face that you
are greatly worried about something,
and / want to offer You my services, if
you think / can be of any use to you"
The lady replied that he could he of
great use to her.. She was in trouble,
and she needed the advice Of a lawyer.
Senator Conkling then made an APP
pointment with her for a meeting at his
office within half an hour. She came,
and he heard her story, understanding
the case almost mtuitively, and. she
says, seemed to grasp it as none Of the
Washington lawyers of her friends had
done. He asked her questions, and she
replied at length. He did not seem
bothered at the fact that she was taking
up q great deal Of his time, and at the
close Of her story he told her what to do
in q few words, making the situation as
plain as though analytically dissected
by the aid of an electric light and a
powerful microscope. Then with fear
and trembling she asked him what his
charge was for the advice, her heart
leaping into her throat as she did 81, in
fear that it might be more than she
could pay. In the gentlest manner Mr..
Conkling told her he would charge her
nothing. She could hardly compre-
bend his reply, and for o moment her
relief was 90 great that. she could not
speak. The tears came to her eyes as
she thanked him. His advice gave her
back her fortune, and she il now one Of
the greatest defenders and worshipers
Of Conkling among his many admirers
Of the other sex.-Cleveland Leader.

nranler,s Fortune.

Maybe you fellows never heard of q
newspaper man that came to be a man
Of finance without marrying IN actress.
No, I don't mean Willard; I'm talking
Of George L. Brander, Vice President
Of Flood & Mackay's Bank, Of San
Francisco and New York. Never heard
of him, I guess. Well, I'll tell you
about him. Brander came to San Fran
cisco from Scotland in 1879. He had
two sovereigns in his pocket when he
got there. He was on his way to Aus
tralia, the story went, but he struck a
pickpocket or something on the way to
the coast, and the two s%overeigns and a
two years clerks experience in q Glas-
gov bank were his stock in trade. He
was 2S--tall, angular, gawky, and with
q dialect that could be spoken from
both sides Of the street. Somebody,
one day when he was down to pretty
nearly his last shilling, introduced him
to Charley De Young, of the Chroni-
Gle, as q young man who might be able
to write an article on finance, and De
Young told him to try it. He did so,
and made IS by it. Then he wrote
something else, and not long after De
Young, who was himself a marvel of
reticence and secrecy, vas struck with
Brander's cautiousness in speech. He
took q fancy to the young Scotch
man and took him into his private room
to act as his Private Secretary at the
gorgeous salary of SIS a week. This
was in 1873. In 1874 De Young,
through some Sacramento friends, got
him q clerkship in a new Changers
Bank that opened at San Francisco, and
he retired from Journalism When, in
1875, the gorgeous bonanza bank was
started with $40, 0OO, 900 paid-up capital
by the bonanza kings, Brander was
given a clerkship. Then in q week or
two he was made bookkeeper. He dis
played such marked ability that within
= year he was sent to New York as as
sistant manager of the New York
branch, the manager being c. T. Chris
Hansen, Of Brooklyn, and a deacon in
in Beccher's church. Pretty soon
there was q shake-up at home and Flood
brought Christensen to San Francisco
and made Brander manager in New
York. In 1873 Christensen got into a
row with Mackay and had to resign.
Brander was sent for and made cashier
Of the great bank at $4,000 u year.
Now, at the age Of 40, he is Vice Presi-
dent, manager, and practically at the
head of the institution at a salary of
$20, 600 q year, the owner Of $500 shares
OF stock given to him, and enjoying the
fullest confidence Of the bonanza mon
archs. That is the kind OF q hair-pin
ex.newspaper man Brander is, and I do
not know of a single dizzy actor or
manager who would not like to be in
his shoes. "--CLica0O Herald.
