Women to Manage Affairs.

New York Correspondence Boston Gazette
Mrs. Burnett, who believes in employing
women rather than men, in her affairs, has ap-
pointed Miss Elizabeth Marbury, daughter Of
the well-known lawyer and queens counsel,
Francis Marbury, her business manager. Miss
Marbury is an accomplished and clever young
woman, for whom tae delights of society are
not what they are TO most young women In her
circle, and she has, in consequence EMPLOYED
her time to better advantage than in dancing
and tea drinking. Miss Marbury is the author
OF play or two, and has written monoloeue
for Miss Sarah Cowell Mrs Lemoyne) which
Il one OF the most taking Of that lady's recita-
tons; While she is a bright writer, her bent is
largely for business, and Mrs. Burnett may be
congratulated on being in such excellent
hands. Besides her business manager, Mrs.
Burnett has q secretary, an italian lady, Who
II she only answered the letters received daily
by her employer, would find her position no
sinecure.
There is no one in the literary way who is
making SO much money this year as Mrs. Bur-
nett Mr.. Robert Louis Stevenson and Mr..
Stockton are earning snug little sums, thanks
largely to syndicates; but Mrs. Burnett out
distances either Of them. She could almost re-
tire on the interest of what she has made dur
ing the past twelve months Mr.. Frohman has
secured her next play, and she is at work upon
1t now. She is in that fortunate position where
she not only commands her own price, but she
dictates the terms Of her agreement which in
this case read that she is to have full sway as to
the mounting of the play and the distribution
OF parts. / think, however, that she will be
satisfied to listen to Mr.. Frohman in these mat
tiers, only there is a consolation in knowing
that she can have her own way il she wants it.

He Says He has not Resigned, But win
not Say He Does Not Contemplate It.
The published report that Senator ohace, Of
Rhode Island, had declared IN in
tention to resign his seat in the Senate
next Monday, was shown to him By an
Associated Press reporter this afternoon. He
declined to either alarm or deny it, truth, say
ing that he had not resigned, but further would
not speak. Al he glanced over the lines his
head slowly shook from side to side in q mega
tive fashion, and as he cauDe to the words:
1.-THE reason assigned for his action il that
the climate Of Washington is not suitable for
the Rhode Island man." he broke out with
the single word '.bosh."
HIS PURPosR ANNOUNCED IN TIE CAUCUS.
A Senator stated to the reporter that ct the
caucus yesterday the contemplated resignation
was announced, and the special committee Of
seven headed by Senator Plat was continued
with view to filing the vacancies that will be
occasioned by Senator Chaee's retirement. The
reasons announced In the caucus for the
resignation are said to have been of a business
nature: that he was unable longer to neglect
his affairs at home. He had intended not to be
q candidate for reelection; but for political
reasons, 1t u said, 1t was deemed best for him
to accept reelection and be sworn in. The
legislature is still in session, and successor, in
case OF Mr.: Chace's resignation, can be elected
without delay. Among the persons spoken Of as
LIKELY TO BE CANDIDATES
for the nomination are Lyman B. Gof, Benja-
min N. Nappum, exGov. George Peabody Wet

A SHARP REPLY.
South Washington Citizens Answer Mai.
Raymond on the Railroad Question.

Messrs. G. H. Parker and Philip N. Dryer,
representing the South Washington Citizens
association, replied to-day to the endorsement
of Maj. Raymond on their letter respecting the
tracks on H street southeast, which was pub
lished in The STAR. In their communication
handed to the Commissioners to-day they say:
1.-The published endorsement by the engi-
neer Commissioner on paper relative to rail-
road distractions, submitted BY the UNDER
signed, calls for reply, which will be to the
point We are neither sworn nor paid officials
of the District and do not consider ourselves
the proper persons to assist the Commissioners
in doing their duty. Is there not number of
sworn officials (see distractions to police and
police regulations) whose business it is to see
that the United States statutes are not violated,
and that the streets are not INSTRUCTED? We
think it would be very simple thing for the
Commissioners to pause few minutes and
recall few instances where the
railroad is obstructing certain streets
in direct violation Of the law, and in fact under
the written permission Of the Commissioner
(See opinion Of the attorney for the District in
the matter of switch into gas company's works,
Southeast Washington.) Would it not be a
very simple matter for Major Raymond to ex-
go personally, visit the localities and make the
necessary affidavit? 1t seems to US it is in the
line of his duty to see that the public streets
are not obstructed. Should his Office duties
prevent giving personal attention, why
not instruct the police department to
investigate and procure warrants, as il
done in the case Of a poor peanut
yender who, in search of a few pennies, stops
his cart and is run in for obstructing the streets
The familiar "Why don't you file an affidavit?"
Is chestnut Of some age. II the authorities
were anxious to perform their duty and protect
the property-owners, they would revoke all
illegal permits without further delay and pros
ecute the railroad company who violated the
Law. We once more politely ask the Commits
sioners TO do their duty and order removal Of
the track on 81 street northeast"

"A Cold-Storage Sociable.

From the Chicago Herald
A well-known attorney, who has musical and
literary tastes, accompanied his wife the other
night, under protest, TO ''sociable" at her
church, in one Of the fashionable southern
suburbs. The young enthusiast who had in
charge the music and literary program was
dead onto him as soon as he entered, and he
asked him to favor the company with q piano
solo. There was no way out Of il, 80 he had TO
chase himself over the keys for brief period
At the wind up of the regular program the
young enthusiast arose. and. in the manner Of
all young church enthusiasts, said; I'VE have
all been delighted this evening by the piano
solo of our dear brother -. and venture to
say that he will favor us at our next sociable
with brief paper upon an interesting and ap-
propriate subject, and think may promise that
he will do So" Well, the lawyer found himself
caught between the bases and he had TO lie
down. But he got beautifully even. He did
read paper at the next sociable, and it's sub
ject was Gold Storage" He argued that
vast refrigerating storehouse could Be connected
by system Of underground pipes with the va
rious church sociables in the city and suburbs,
and that the extreme GOODNESS generated at
these gatherings could be piped to the store
house for the preservation of eggs, fruit, meat,
and vegetables. 1t was a mastery effort,
though 1t was not fully appreciated.
