A Belle ofGran'ts administration

Washington Letter to Philadelphia News.
One of the pretty women of Washing
ton, one who was once reigning belle,
is Mrs. Gen. Belknap, who is still q
beautiful women. though old enough to
ha W daughter in society. The now
somewhat gloomy and deserted CORR
doris of the capitol are queer places to
20 for gossip about pretty women. but
in passing the rOtunda one recent day |
paused to ask Clara Morris Il question.
Clara Morris is the old woman who keeps
the photograph and eurio booth near the
great rOtunda. She has been there for
a quarter of century or more. Once a
beautiful woman herself, enjoying the
courteous attentions of famous senators
and cabinet officers. she has seen and
casually known all the capital bellies of
her time. When asked this keen OBJ
server who was the prettiest woman in
Washington in her day she promptly re-
piled: Mrs. Gen. Belknap was, in her
prime, the most beautiful woman ever
saw, in Washington or anywhere. She
was perfect. Next to her, l
think, was Nine. Catacazky, wife
of a former minister from Rus
STA. Poor Nine. Catacazky! She was
SO handsome and beWitching that the
wicked goSsips couldn't let her alone.
and they talked so much about her and
a certain cabinet officer, that the Rus
sian government recalled her husba nd,
and shortly after returning to Russia,
the poor girl died of consumption. Mrs.
Bellnap is not often seen in Washing
ton society, where she once relgned
queen. She has, however, handsome
home and an interesting family of
daughters. Her eldest daughther,
Alice, inherits mothers beauty.

Indian Scalps in Demand.

A Monroe street hair dealer: ''If you

I-shall be obliged to you for that in
formation. Indian scalps, like buffalo
heads, are becoming mighty scarce.
You never can account for peoples
tastes. Now, about the last thing in the
world that some people want is an In
dian scalp, and yet there are people that
want just that sort of curiosity. | had

nine scalps hung to it, and sold it to a

not scalping as much as they used to.
and that is why scaIps are so high. In
fact, everything which Indians used to
make is becoming seareer and more val
liable. Take the common Indian basket
that used to sell for s. q dozen, now you
can't get one for that money. There
are two reasons for this. One is that
travellers buy them first hands as curl

Well Paid American Authors.

chicago Times.
The best paid literary worker in
America today is Mrs. Frances Hodg-
son Burnett. The sale of Little Lord
FauntlerOy" has already brought her
$4,000, and for months the dramatic
right to the play increased her bank ac-
profits of Sara CreWe" TO date are
something over $1,000. She has
$4,000 contract with some New York
publishers to write story for their
weekly paper, and also has at
her disposal an offer of S10,-
coo for q grown-up Lord Faunt-
leroy" So it will be seen that
this remarkable woman has little cause
to complain of the appreciation in
which she is held by the public After
Mrs. Burnett, A. c. Gunter. in the last
year or so. has probably earned more
by his pen than any other American
writer. Not long ago he said that he
had made from Mr.. Barnes of New
York" and MIR. Potter of Texas" in
two months. clear of expenses, 81, 900.
Sixty thousand copies of his best novel,
THAT Frenchman," have been dis
posed of. and as Gunter is his own pub
Usher. it will be readily seen what his
profits from his last venture have been.
John Hay, whose ''Castilian DAYS"
brought him less than s. during the
first two years of its publication, in con-
junction with his cO-laborer, Mr..
Nicolay, received from the Century
Publishing company $4,000 for '"The

The White Shield League.

The White Shield league, at their
meeting last week, decided that they
had taken two steps where they should
have taken but one. The citizens did
not rally to their aid as was expected.
and they did not see their way to pay
the rent. and also continue Mrs. Vir-
tues salary as superintendent of the
industrial home. They thought il best

partment, aud have re-rented the build

The Greatest Mining Camp.

Butte, Mont. Letter.
''The Leadville of Montana" Butte
was called five years ago. But now it
is ''the greatest mining camp in the
world" Last years returns brought
Butte to the front of all camps, just as
it placed Montana at the top of the list
of the states and territories. Montana's
output OF gold and silver in 1888 was
S24,61S, 900. That gave her first place
by s2.00O.00U. And when the copper
product was added, her contribution to
these three items of the wealth of the
country reached $40, 500, 900. This
year. If the remaining two months sus-
tain the record of the past ten, the new
state will show yield of s5O,0OO.000 in
gold, silver and copper. Surely, Mon
tana has earned her statehood at good
round price. Her proud position at the
head of the gold, silver and copper pro-
ducing states Montana owes to Butte.
More than half of last years $40. 500, 600
came from this camp. The develop
ment has been recent and marvelously
rapid. Five years ago 1.-THE Leadville
OF Montana was very appropriate
title, for Butte then was turning out
So, GOO, 900 a year. But. now, with q
twelve-month's showing of 100000.
the claim to be the richest camp in the
world must be conceded.

THE THRILLlNG EXPERIENCE
Of Mrs. Knight, of st. Paul, at the
Burning of the Santiago.

III THO
Archie E. knight, of $50 University
avenue, has received a letter from his
wife. who was a passenger on the
steamer Santiago, burned at sea on the
18th ult. Mrs. Knight writes from New
York. and gives lUrid description of
her fearful experiences at sea. The
ship was discovered on fire three days
out from New York. It was evening
when the order was given to lower the
life boats, all efforts tn queneh the fire
proving futile. A heavy sea was run
ming. and to woman with small bate
the situation was terrible in the eX-
treme. The ship was bound from New
York to Hull with live cargo of cattle,
and the believing of the animals in their
mad attempts TO break loose from their
fastenings was pItIful to hear. 1t was
work of extreme difficulty, and one sur
rounded with great danger. to transfer
the ships passengers and crew to the
open boats. There were fifty-five of
them, al told. Mrs. Knight says she
scarcely can realize how she stood the
shock, especially when the brave heart
ed seamen took her child, fastened it in
a basket and dropped it into the life
boat. But for the child she thinks she
never could have survived after being
in an open boat all night. tossed about
i'm boiling sea and up to her waist in
water. Prior to the last of the ships
crew taking to the boats the cattle
were released from the hold and madly
careered about the deck, finally taking
to the water. Some of the animals
made for the open boats, and men
had to be stationed with an axe to
fell the poor brutes. Scores of them
were in this way treated, otherwise the
boats would have been upset, there
being sufficient danger 80 face in the
heavy seas which occasional swept over
the unfortunate people, drenching them
to the skin. They were rescued in the
morning by passing steamer and re-
turned to New York, and on Saturday
Mrs. knight had so far recovered
strength as to again undertake her voy-
age over the Atlantic which had heen
so thrillingly interrupted by the burn
ing of the Santiago.
