TWO SENATORIAL wIDowERs.
Senator Allison is still unmarried. He
came back from his Alaska trip with a
bran new mustache and ten years more Of
youth in his features. He has been, I
think, twice widower, but the gossips say
that he is ready to choose a third wife.
Those who know best say that the story Of
his engagement with the lady whom he met
on his Alaska trip was only newspaper
sensation, and that he and Miss Stoughton
were merely excellent friends and no more.
During the trip this newspaper story
reached them, paper having been sent
from Portland to Senator Hale, OF Maine,
aud this paper stated that Mrs. Hale, as
Miss Stoughton's chaperon, had sent the
young lady out for walk with the Iowa
Senator, and that he had popped the ques-
tion under the icy brows of an over
hanging iceberg. 1t sounded well, but it
was not true, and Senator Allison is still on
the market. There is hardly a man in
Washington who offers more advantages to
the bidder. He is handsome and rich, and
he ranks as q Presidential possibility. l am
not sure that he has any ideas of marriage,
and the duennas tell me that he never goes
anv place and cares for no woman's society
save that of one of the most lovable and cul-
tured women of Washington, his fragile
little mother-in-law, Mrs. Ex-senator
Grimes. On her receiving days he some
times comes down to the drawing room, but
the only time he puts on the cIaw-hammer
coat is once a year when he goes to a White
House reception. He owns, you know, a
good house in Washington. He dresses
we'll, and though be has lived for gener-
alton or so, his skin is clear and unwrinkled,
and his blood is as warm as the steam of a
Turkish bath.
A JANUARY WITH MILLIONS.
Senator Philetus Sawyer is another Sena-
torial widower. 1t is true he is 73, but when
January has millions May is very glad to
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-01-26

ners, and upon every other available occs-
sion. Washington has its manageable
men as well as its manageable women, and
the fifty millions owned by the heiresses is
offset by a like amount owned by good
catches among the men. The males have
brains in addition to their money, and it is
no wonder that hundreds of girls come here
every winter hoping to carry away a noted
husband.
Even the Senate has put up some good
material at auction, and the girls who
throw the most love and beauty into their
bids will knock the persimmons. Wolcott,
of Colorado is bachelor, and the long skin
and-bone bachelor, Salisbury, hasretired to
give place to rosy, full .blooded, strong
muScled successor named Higgins, who has
never been married, and who has made
enough at the law to support an extravagant
wife. Higgins would make a dear Of a hus-
band, and 1 sat in the Senate to-day and
feasted my eyes on his person. Straight,
broad-shouldered and chunky, he has regu-
lar features, and his brave blue eyes shine
with strength and with tenderness. He has
a good crop Of light hair, well combed, and
he dresses in taste. He is pugna-
ciOus and strong, and he would fight
to the death foT the woman he loved. He
comes from South Delaware and he has
made reputation as lawyer. His check
is good for 500, 600, and he is as liberal as he
is rich. He has a house here at Washing
ton near Dupont Circle and his only incum-
brances are two pretty nieces whom, l doubt
not, new wife could manage. The Sena-
tor is 49 years old. he is we'll educated, is
graduate of Yale and is good catch. He
has the sweetest voice woman ever listened
to. 1t is melodious, caressing and sincere,
and the Washington girls say that his ma
ture is better expressed by his voice than
his face. He is forward in politics. but
rather backward in love, and he recently
said to a friend that ''widower had more
chance in Washington society than bach
elor, for, as he expressed 1t, there is no
chance for bachelor when a widower is
around. The widowers gush and fatter so
much that 1t makes an ordinary man tongue
tied"
A COLORADO CATCH.
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, is, if any,
thing, better catch than Higgins. In the
first place he is younger, having been born
only Al years ago. He is better looking
than Higgins, and, though his savings NAV
not be SO large, his income is certainly
greater. He makes, it is said, S75, 900 a
year at the law, and spends it. He is a
graduate of Yale, has luxurious tastes, and
will not cut down the appropriation of pin
money. He is good dresser, and he is full
of that personal magnetism which is popular
among women, and which aids in making a
man great statesman. There is not drop
o. sluggish blood IN his whole anatomy, and
he is warm from the crown of his semi-bald
head to the ends of his pearly pink toes
1t is said, however, that he has had his
romance, and that he loved and lost
wben he was a young lawyer in
Chicago just 20 years ago. He

The Opera season.

The coming Of Mr.. Rudolph Aronson's
Comic Opera company in the celebrated
successes, Ern,inie aud NadW, will be
pleasantly anticipated by all who have
never seen this much talked of produc-
ton which entertained New York City
for over 500 and $50 nights, but it will be
looked forward to with especial interest
by the moro fortunate readers who have
witnessed their representation and know
the delightful character Of the entertain
ment they are promised. Heretofore 1t
has seemed as If Gilbert and Sullivan
possessed q corner" in the interest of
the opera seeking public, but Nadiy and
Ermmie have superseded even the New
York record of the celebrated Mkddo.
for their runs are nearly four times the
length of the term of favor extended
to Gilbert and Sullivan's Mzado or any
other opera in the Metropolis. In these
days Of numerous failures, when about
ten per oent Of the productions score a
success, it is remarkable that a work by
authors comparatively unknown on this
side of the Atlantic should retain public
attention with wonderful profit for oyer
two years in one theater.

THE HEIGHTS AND THE VALLEY


He stood in the valley with eager eyes
Turned to the peaks where the sunshine lay.
70, for the heights that are near the skies,
The glorious heights that are far away"
He cried. and ever his longing grew
To climb the sleeps till the heights were won,
And ever a wild unrest broke through
The daily tasks that must still be done.
sit must be lonely on those far heights,'
Said the friend he told of his wild desire.
Better the valley Of old Delights"
But the heart of the dreamer was all on fire
with the thought of reaching the hills afar,
And he would not tarry with friends OF old,
But followed the flash OF ambitions star,
And climbed up the mountains bleak and cold
There were rocky places where feet must bleed;
There were awful chasms where danger lay;
Through nights Of darkness and days OF need
Towards the peaks he longed for he took his way.
And nearer, nearer, the peaks OF snow
Each day the climber in rapture drew.
Forgetting the valley that lay below
And the valley friends who were kind and true.
AT last the terrible heights were scaled;
Alone on the desolate peaks stood he.
In the moment Of triumph his courage failed,
And his heart turned valleyward longingly.
O, TO hear the voices of friends again,
To clasp a hand that was warm and true.
y, to love and be loved. and to share with men
The little joys that tht valley knew!
Better the valley with peace and love
lhan the desolate heights some souls attain
Lonely Is life on the hills above
The valley lands and the sunny plain
What Is fame to lover Can ii satisfy
The longing and lonely hearts OF men,

Come back to the valley of peace again.

The local banks evince no interest in
the bill. They are too much concerned
in the reduction Of public expenses to op-
pose it. esterday's Sun
What supreme rot. Judging the bill
which reduces the interest on county
warrants from s to 6 per cent entirely
from their OWE standpoint the bankers
would be the gamers by its passage. The
counties and territory would be the losers
by the depreciation in the value Of county
warrants. Such counties as are now seek
ing relief from al overissue of warrants
may find it in Mr.. Rankin's bill which
provides for funding bonds. This seems
calculated to place the credit Of several
counties on a better basis than it has ever
been before.

Remarkable PecuIiarities OF D'AIbert.
the Pianist.
When Sarasarte, the wonderful violin
ist, and D'Albert, the renowned pianist,
were here Thursday tine latter was called
upon by a Cheyenne gentleman who had
enjoyed an intimate acquaintance with the
elder D'Albert in Scotland thirty years
ago. He found the artist an understood,
ill-mannered, shabbily clad. rather dirty
little fellow who pretended ignorance of
the English language. His replies to
polite questions of the caller were
screechy grunts. Another member Of
the company a~pologized for D'Albert' 8
rudeness with the information that the
man was a great artist and consequently
eccentric. The famous pianist's father
was a brilliant Englishman who laugh,
dancing in Scotland and composed light
music. His mother was an English
woman. The genius was educated in
Germany and hates everything English,
American or French.
