THE NORTHWEST
Republican Love-Butterworth and
Foraker.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-There was a
little tiffbetween Maj. Butterworth and
Gov. Foraker relative to the Chicago
convention. The major said he did not
want the committee to understand that
Gov. Foraker and himself were on
terms of affectionate endearment.
What transpired at Chicago, Ben re-
peated, was between Senator Sherman
and Gov. Foraker, not between the gov
ernor and himself. There was nothing
personal in II so far as he was concerned.
This seemingly unnecessary reference
to the Chicago treachery made Gov.
Foraker hot. He jumped to his feet,
his face blazing with Indignation, and
glared at Butterworth. He said he
wanted to say right there, pointing his
finger significantly at Butterworth,
that he had heard all he wanted to hear
about the Chicago convention. If that
matter was to be investigated by the
committee he wanted time to send for
q few letters and kilograms which he
had in his possession that would throw
some light on the real truth. For the
last time" he exclaimed, 81 say"-
pointing threateningly toward Butter
Worthwhile sit and listen without
resentment to insinuations about my
course at Chicago. have no apologies
to make, except for remaining silent as
long as have" Butterworth made no
reply, and soon afterward withdrew.

Byfar the largest, most gorgeous and
generally merry social event of the sea-
son in fashionable Boston was the recep-
tion and ball given by Commodore and
Mrs. w. F. Weld at their home in Brook
line last night. The affair was celebrated
in the commodore's handsome new barn,
and was in honor of Miss Pratt, of Com
monwealth avenue, who is niece of the
commodore, and her friend, Miss Mary
w. Barnard. Over / 900 invitations were
sent out, and up to midnight something
like 600 guests had responded in person.
The barn, or stable, where the event
took place is an imposing structure, not
deserving by any means of SO humble an
appellation. 1t is reported to have cost
500, 900, and is constructed of gray gran
ite, with battlemented towers on the four
corners and ornamental cornices, turrets
and iron work in profusion, the whole
surmounted by cupola of elaborate de-
sign, combining to give it an elegant ap-
pearance from the outside. Within it is
fitted up in equally sumptuous style, and
being new, was splendid place of en-
tertainment. Score after score of car
riages traversed the devious roads which
wind through the hills and woods of
Brookline, and, pulling up at the can
opy extending from the front doors,
deposited their loads of guests and made
room for others.
Inside the scene was one of rare beauty.
The interior of the building was lavishly
decorated with flowers and potted plants,
evergreens and bunting. Happily placed
punches of electric lamps gave out q
brilliant light, and the yellow pine finish
of the walls, together with the bright
hued gowns Of the ladies, made picture
not easily to be forgotten.
The main portion of the stable formed
afamous ballroom, and the polished floor
was excellent for dancing. To the rear
Of this, in the carriage store room, Cater
er Burton served the refreshments, while
the harness rooms, stalls and apartments

repositories and conversational nooks

at Mr.. Yields was a noteworthy success
about which every one will talk for days
to come. g Boston Advertiser.

A TERRIFIC RAILROAD CoLLIs-
ION.

A Lake Shore Passenger Train Col
lides With a Freight-All on Ac-
count of an Open Switch-Fireman
Young Instantly Killed-Fireman
Simpson, Engineer Phelps, Con-
ductor Hoyt and Lady p Passenger
Seriously Injured.
BELEvILLE, o., Feb. ia terrible
accident occurred here this evening, on
the Lake Shore road, resulting In the
almost instant death of one man and
dangerous injury of several others. The
wreck was caused by the carelessness of
the fireman on q light engine bound
West. The engine had backed in on a
siding at the west end of the yards to
allow an east-bound passenger train to
pass. and the fireman forgot to Ishut the
switch. The passenger train, running
at the rate of thirty miles an hour, ran
into the open switch-the engineer be-
ing unable to see the switch-light
on account of the failure of the fireman
of the light engine to screen his head
light. Both engines are complete
wrecks, and the light engine was
driven into third engine, injuring it
also. The loss to the company will be
we'll up In the thousands. The follow
ing are the killed and injured:
Fireman Young Of the light engine,
killed instantly.
Engineer Phelps of the passenger
train, severely injured, not fatal.
Fireman Simpson, same train, both
legs broken and hurt internally.
A lady passenger named Wooster;
ribs broken and injured internally.
Will recover.

She Would like to be Wicked just for
Once.


There Is an inherent desire In the
breast of nearly every woman of life
and spirit to be at times just the least
bit wicked. She wants to don the un-
mentionable occasionally, figuratively
speaking, and 60 out and have time.
As young married lady remarked
the other day to an intimate female
friend: "How I would like to 60 out
on 'toot' some night. want to take
in the back rooms of two or three sa-
looms. drink glass or two of beer, and
eat dry bologna and Swiss cheese. My
husband occasionlly brings lunch of
that sort home with him, and ac-
companies it with bottle Of beer, but
there is no fun In 1t unless yon 60 to
headquarters. Ihave often urged my
husband to show me the elephant to a
mixed extent, and have offered to wear
veil or his old clothes, but he always
fr0wns down my importunites, and |
think 1t would be much fun. anyway,
to go with ones own husband. Why
should we be so circumscribed in our
amusements? / for one propose to get
out OF the old rut some night, and,
while don't intend to be too wicked, !
shall be just wicked enough to enjoy
lnyself.n And there is no doubt but
that she will. Her ideas may be con-
demned, but in how many feminine
hearts will you find q reflex of her de-
sires!- sacramento Bee.

In 1875 80, 9i6 women we're furnished with
home employment; In 1885 tho number had
fallen to 1888, showing that the tendency in
all industries is more and more toward factory
employment rather than home work.
Twenty-Five years ago very few women left
home for employment; they bound shoes,
made caps, shirts, underwear and children's
clothing, hats. baskets, mittens, stockings, car
pets and yarn in their kitchens, but all this ii
changed now. The factories have multiplied,
machinery has done away with all hand labor
and the women have been compelled to follow
the work.
