House need not be envied that share of
her responsibilities. A tactless or un-
gracious course there has ruined the
chances and the popularity of too many
people in official life. How to meet all
the requests from that source to answer
or parry all their questions, sensible and
nonsensical, proper and improper, civil
and impertinent, requires more discre-
ton than is given TO the average
woman. For the first few months after
the nomination and the Inauguration the
ladies of the family were simply looked
at The reporters wanted to see Mrs.
Harrison and Mrs Mckee, and no third
person could do. To women of their
common sense and natural refinement
this being elevated TO the level of some
thing curious in a glass case, to be
stared at face to face, was trying and
not too tlattering,
Mrs Harrison has gradually passed
the interviewing department over to
Mrs. Mckee now, and her tact, pa
tience and amiability have made editors,
correspondents and reporters her
friends, 1t is she who goes down to
see the scribes from other cities, who
shows them the greenhouse and gives
them flowers, and who answers as to
what Mrs. Harrison thinks of the
Worlds Fair site, and of divorce, and
whether a may0aadiSe should be made
with lemon juice or tarragon vinegar.
"Oh," said one of them with confusion
when Mrs. Harrison herself appeared,
Il did not mean 20 trouble you or take
up your time Mrs. Mckee is always
so good naiured and obliging, and just
laughs these questions oil so nicely
hat we do not mind coming to her
with them
81 cannot see how any one can have
/ Ills head turned by elevation 10 higher

MAD BULLDOG IN THE STREETS
Exciting Experiences in Chicago-Many
Persons Bitten.

PERSONS Bitten.
CHICAGO July 19-Residents in the Twenty
seventh Ward had an experience with mad
dog last night A large bulldog came tearing
down the road from Nyles, swapping at every
thing he met. He crossed the river and ran
down the main street of Montrose, where
German, whose name was not learned, endeav
ored to intercept him. The beast fastened his
jaws on the mans arm and mutilated it to
such an extent that amputation will probably
be necessary. He then ran on down the street,
biting dozen or more dogs in the neighbor
hood. He sprang on two boys, who were play
ing in the road. One of them was frightfully
lacerated about the chest and was taken to the
hospital. The other was bitten on the hand.
By this time party of citizens were in pursuit
of the brute. He was followed into an open field
where he turned on his pursuers. One of the
party shot and wounded the animal, and then
a man armed with an ice-pick struck him a
blow in the neck. The dog fastened his teeth
in the handle of the pick and was prodded to
death with pitchfork.

SUGAR. SILVER. AND GAS.
These We're the Most Attractive Stocks in
Wall Street Yesterday.


Wall Street Yesterday.
New YORK, July 19.--The stock market of
to-day was fitting tender for that of yesterday,
as only 1920 shares marked the dealings in
listed stocks, and q, ,099 of unlisted stocks, of
which sugar refneries furnished 20, 793 The
interest of the day was centred in the dealings
in sugar refineries, silver certificates, and Cit
izens' Gas, of Brooklyn. Sugar continued its
rise of yesterday upon the favorable decision of
the General Term, and scored q further advance
of / per cent. to 772, but at that figure plenty
OF stock came out, and it retired quickly to 759,
and after some fluctuations of small fractions
finally closed at its lowest point. Silver GER
ti6cates advanced again, but only reached 1923.
The general list presented a firm front, but
failed to move except slight reactions. The
market finally closed intensely dull, which even
the bank statement, with its comparatively small
loss in surplus reserved, failed to move, at about
the opening prices. Money on call has been
easy, with all loans at 3 and closing at 3. Prime
mercantile paper is in fair demand from outside
banks and the supply of first-class names con-
tinues good. Rates slightly easier. Sixty
to ninety days indorsed bills receivable are 5
per cent; four months acceptance 5G51; and
good single names, with from to months to
run, 6G6l. Sterling exchange is quiet and
steady, with actual business at 4S44 for sixty
day bills, and 1881 for demand. Posted rates

and heavy for the As. State bonds have been
