ease in an elegant house surrounded by very
beautiful grounds. She is a petite blonde with
yelling blue eyes, fresh, rosy complexion
and hair Of color as If the sun had kissed
her on the head, and his golden rays had
fingered after the salute. Opposite the
gate that opens into the Cammack

There is indignation here to-day among
the friends of the late General BelSnap.

one Of the largest ever seen in this

cessiOn that wound its way to Arlington.
But Mr.. Harrison was not there.
His presence had been specially re-
quested, but he came not. Because
Of his refusal he is made the subject
of much criticism. The Grand Army men
particularly are very indignant. Whether
Mr.. llarrison's course in the matter is the
proper one or not is within the decision
OF every one Interested. But as
a general rule, it may he put
down that in matters involving tact and n
conventional observance of The proprietics

do the right thing at the right time.
WILL PROBABLY RETIRE.
1t looks as if Treasurer Huston, one Of
the Indiana politicians who were re-
warded by Mr.. Harrison Tor political
services render !, would soon retire from
public life. Huston, it may be re-
membered, was along with Dudley,
QUAY ct. al in the scheme to c0l0nile ne
grOes from the South into West Virginia,
Connecticut, and Indiana, that they might
vote the Republican ticket and make
those states "whOlly Republican"
There has been since that exposure Of
the scheme Il very strong demand that llus
ton be removed from Office on the very co
gent ground that no such tricky POI
tician rs he should be Treasurer
Of the United states Of America
Mr.. Harrison has shown no signs f
being impressed by this demand. llustOn's
friends, however, say that he is soon going
out OF office il his resignation, which, ac-
cording to them, has been in the Whi'e
House for ten days is accepted. They couple
this statement with the depreca' DRY express
sion that they "suppOse that the Democrats
if lIustOn's resignation is accepted, will
say that he mad to resign because OF his col
Onization connections" As for myself,
would not be surprised if they did.
