The main point is that Shepherd has

even he himself knows His checks for
$4,000, 900 would be honored to-day by any
banking house in the city where he once
ruled and which he left in such haste and
with such an odorous name.
The ex-boss is often seen in Washington
these days and he runs over to New York
frequently on business errands. Public
opinion in the national capital has changed
somewhat, and instead of snubs and jeers he
is now greeted with warm handshaking and
smirkS and bows. His old enemies are will
ling to kneel in the dust to the money king.
A man worth $1,000, 900 and with $50, O00,-

to the country has but accentuated the
craze for white furniture, and garrets and
old furniture shops and second hand arse
nails of all sorts are ransacked for quaint
chairs and spindle-legged tables and old
time bedsteads that can be painted or enam-
eled for gilt and white additions to the
summer cottage plenishings. Women who
WELD the brush themselves, transform BAN
boo and rush and willow ware till it
wouldn't know itself. The rage for the re-
modelled is so violent that ladies who are
too rich to do their own tinkerng will hire
a painter to put on coats of white or pale
blue or pink with gold bands in places, util-
izing old pieces rummaged out of chaos
rather than invest in the brass and white
sets which fill the stores TO supply the POM
padour demand. E. p. II.

CHAIRMAN OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
COMMITTEE.
Benjamin Franklin Jones had no political
reputation until the beginning of the last
presidential campaign, but his great wealth,
superior business ability and staunch
political preferences were qualifications
which, associated with the positive choice
of Mr.. Blaine, marked him out for the
position he then held before the country,
and which he still retains. He was indie
fatigable in his efforts to secure the sue
cess of the republican ticket. No man in
the national committee of the organization
worked more, if as many, hours at head
quarters as be Victory did not reward his
efforts, but his diligence and tactics were
generally approved by his party.
Mr. Jones is an active, well preserved
gentleman, in age probably little on the
shady side of CO. His hair and beard are
gray, nearly altogether white; his com
plexion healthy and pure. He is but little,
If any, above the medium height, and in
figure full enough, without being encum-
bered with Superfluous flesh and at a safe
distance from scragginess. In the makeup
of the man nature has been kindly disposed
toward him as fortune, whose gifts render
him distinguished among American men of
wealth.
Mr.. Jones is a native of Washington
county, Pennsylvania. He began life as
clerk on the Pennsylvania canal and rail-
road. In lS47 he entered the iron business,
and is now senior member of a firm at Pitts
burg, owners of perhaps the most extensive
rolling mills in the United States.
