ONCE FAMOUS BEAUTY.
First Public Appearance in Many Years of
Kate Chase.
1Froln the Baltimore American

1Froln the Baltimore American.
Some days ago, an afternoon recep-
ton was given by the wife and daugh-
ters of Mr.. A. B. Mullet, formerly
supervising architect of the treasury.
Among the ladies receiving with the
hostess was Mrs. Kate Chase, as she
now calls herseif-the once famous and p.
always beautiful Kitty Chase. 1t was
the first time she had appeared at any
social gathering in Washington for
many years, and this woman, who fif-
teen years ago ruled Washington society
as it never was ruled before or since,
was not personally known to one-fourth
of the guests present. Beside her stood
her daughter Ethel-a slim, indefinite
kind of a girl, possibly to be pretty, but
never to be as handsome as her mother.
AS for Mrs. Kate Chase, her beauty
is of that noble sort that age cannot
wither nor custom stale. Besides she
is woman who has passed through
great storms without letting them agi-
tate her u. duly. She is now nearly
IS years old, but she looks ten younger.
She has lost the first brilliancy of youth
full complexion, but she can't help
being superb and distinguished. In the
day of her power she was intensely
feared and admired, but never inspired
or seem to try to inspire affection, so
that the animosity she awakened on
the part of those who saw her for the
first time in many years assisting at
party was of critical kind. No doubt
this suited her quite as well, because
pity is something she always disdained.
She is no longer rich, and inherits
Chief Justice Chase financial inabili-
ties in a marked degree. The sum OF
what she has now is the small conpe-
tence left her by her father, who lived
and died a poor man. Whatever claim
she had uponC Canonchet is worth moth
ing now, and this woman, who could
order twenty-five gowns with all acces-
sories from Paris not many yeaaago,
and repeat the order whenever she felt
like it, appeared the other day in the
simplest kind of a black costume. But
it was nevertheless elegant and appro-
pirate, because it couldn't be anything
else with Kitty Chase as its wearer.
She always had a perfect genius for
cloths, and her striking beauty gained
effect from the style in which she
| dressed.

"A Bloody Shirt Biographer.

Il blOOuS SIllIL oIoSiapilel.J
1t was at Peachtree creek that Colo
mel Harrison won the profane and fiery
approval of the hot-blooded Fighting
Joe Hooker While waiting with his
men in reserve Harrison saw detach-
ment of Hoods forces coming toward
him. The crest of a hill was between
them. Harrison saw instantly that 1t
would not do to wait and receive the
attack at the foot of the hill. Without
an order he assumed the responsibility
Of charging his reserves up the hill to
meet the rebels half way. This was
done with so much impetuosity and
courage that the rebels were sharply
repulsed. 1t was for this that General
Joe Hooker roared out to Harrison after
it was over: by, sir, I will have
you made Brigadier-General for this"

A Shame.
ChCTltSOD GG=gus,


Nobody is surprised that the County
Court hss made up its mind to stand by
the infamous conduct of the bsllot-box
suffers, talIy-sheet f0rgers and election
fraud perpetrators. The Democrats GER
tainly did not hsrhor tie faintest hops Of
getting and impartial decision from such q
tribunal. That Court isn't butt that way.
After tie Court made oath to an answer
to the rule awarded by the Supreme Court
in the msndsuus proceeding, to the effect
that TO bill of exceptions had been ten
dsred it for allowance by the Democratic
counsel, wbea the fact was OTHER wise. and
the wsre compelled subsequently so to adj
nit, we ceased to imagine for q single in
slant that their conduct during the re-
maindsr Of their proceedings would
accord Mt all with their sworn duty in
the matter unless their own party got
the benefit OF it The whole pro-
cesdipg has been o shameful farce, a Ieck-
less paltering with the peoples rights, a
burning disgrace to Ksnawha county, and
an insult to the morality, decency and
intelligence of her citizens.
1t woald partially atore for the magDi.
tude of this crime if the individuals ccm-
posing this tribunal, of which they have
made q tool and q machine for the accom-
plishment of IS black q villainy as ever
stained tbs pages Of our political history,
would resign the places which they do rot
and caurOt fill, and get back to their
former stations in life, from which we hope
they will never be recalled.

bill being simply to form q gigantic
book trust, being in line with the general
hue aud cry of special interests for 'pro-
lection" at the expense Of the masses Of
the people. Foreign authors should be
protected doubtless but they ehould not
look to the American CoDgress to psss
laws in their interest to the material de-
triment and injury Of N own people.
Nothing is offered in return for the 100 to
500 per cent, which the bill proposes to
add 10 the cost of these books. The bill
Is directly in the interest of monopoly and
it's tendency would be to create trusts.
With thee special interests protected
nothing at all is proposed in tbs line Of
protecting the interests Of the great read
ing public, the macs of the people who
are to read the books and pay fer them.

under this measure who have been totally
overlooked in the general scramble fol

A FRANK ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The htcligeRcer tscitly acknowledges
that it is the intention of itu party man
ayers to attempt to bribe enough Demo
cratic members Of the Legislature to seat
Gen. GOFF a. Governor. 1t compares the
present situation in West Virginia with
that of ~1S76-that memorable steal. 1t
rehashes the exploded Republican lies Of
that date as to alleged attempted bribery
by Democrats OF members of the notorious
: by Z electoral commission, concluding
tba. the Democrats were beaten at the
slleged game Of bribery. The scknOwl'
edgment that HAYES seat was thus stolen
is frank. The COMPARISON between the
situstion then and the West Virginia situ,
alton now is equally frank. 1t q plain &C
Acknowledgement that Republican money is
to be used on the Legislature.

What They Think of Each other.

CITESbUrg TtifSrdW rep
Some persons in the newspaper business
ascribe great credit to the IRteuigencer for
the result at the late election. 1t had in
auence enough in its own county to lose
every member of the legislature-one
more than that county lost two years ago.
If it cannot even elect one member Of the
Legislature in its own county this year We
would like some of those tafy pullers to
give us a bill of particulars is to the aid it
gave the party elsewhere. Not many
years ago this county was solid Demo.
cratic. Now it is solid Republican and
the Telegram has done the work in is field
while the great (?) organ at Wheeling has
lost its own county and been made a
sewer for abusing us. The I~nteiigencer is
a fraud and brsggert and positively has no
Influence fer good in this section, and its
patronage has fallen off here to what it
was some years ago.

That 500 Vote.

btl-Ek DtUtD-TGt.
Despite the explanations, Mr. G. W.
Atkinson may be called up by the courts
to tell them about that five dollar vote he
bought in this county. We have no idea
that this was not the only vote he bought
or attempted to buy, by 8 long shot. And
30 all the while his friends are talking
about scratched ballots and vault windows,
he may tell, if he pleasss, what be means
by sending a Democrat $500, and whether
he does net know that there is a law in
this State against bribery and buying
votes and cOrruptiDg elections and doing
things that his worst political enemy in
this county did not think him capable Of
until be got to sending corrupt letters
with corrupt money in them to men cspa-
BILE of being orrupted-tbrough the United

lame Of West Virginia by branding with
frsud every effort on the part of the people
to correct The election returns and bring
to justice the parties who have violated the

Growth Of Gossip.

1t takes long, conscientious life to
build up reputation, which may yet
be injured for time by breath of
gossip. For example something like
this may easily happen. Mrs. A says,
in all innocence, to Mrs. B:
"Tbat Mrs. Newcomer is 80 fond of
her children. The other day when
called she was blowing soap bubbles
with them through a common clay
pipe
Mra. B, in her next conversation
with Mrs. q, retails the story, slightly
altered:
"That Mrs. Newcomer is SO odd.
Mrs. A saw her amusing the children
with common clay pipe
\ Mrs. G to Mrs. D-That Mrs. New
conner uses common clay pipe.
Mrs. d to Mrs. E-That Mrs. New
conner smokes horrid old pipe.
don't see how any woman in her sober
senses could do that.
Mrs. E to Mrs. F-That Mrs. New.
conner smokes pipe and drinks dread
fully.
Social conversations are often like
the game of Scandal" An innocent
statement becomes so distorted, after
many repetitions, that it would never
be recognized at the source from which
il started.-Y Youths Companion.

Bow and Farming.
BOB BURDETTE TELLS WHY THE YOUNG
STEERS LEAVE THE FARM


"Wby do the boys leave the farm 7"
wails writer in an agricultural journal.
Well, dear brother, there are several
reasons. One is because the boy is
not 65 years old at his birth. Then,
If there is a hoe on the farm weighing
IA ounces, bright az nickle plate, and
sharp as razor, and another hoe
weighing something less than break.
ing plough, with an edge on it like a
hammer, and sapling with the bark
on it for handle, the hired man takes
one and the boy gets the other, and
every man in America knows which ia
the other. Did you ever stand with
such a hoe in you hands away down in
corn row on some airless, still, hot
summer day, 20 acres of corn-blades
and tassels willing about you, standing
IA inches higher than your head, shut
ting out every last trace of breathable
air, and then hear locust down in the
edge Of the timber strike up his long,
strident monotonous call to make it ten
times hotter And all this time a cool
creek not a mile away, lettering In
deep, silent pools in shady places In
the woods, or bresking into merry
dancing ripples over the pebbles And
in the big, deep holes, the fish just
lying around waiting for boyi Well,
then, you know why some boys leave
the farm. Still boys can be kept on
the farm and made to stay there all
their lives. You drive long spike
through a boys abdomen and through
live oak tree, and clinch or bolt It on
the other side, and then saw off the
boys legs and break his back, and he
will stay on the farm. Yes there are
some other ways we know, but this is
the only infallible method.
