COAGRESSMEN N SOCIETY.
Poverty Keeps Many Honorable Gentle.
men Out Of the Swim.
Social Obstacles Sometimes Over
como Through Great Wealth.

One reason why Congressman do not
go out Ms q rule IN Washington society IL
that they cannot afford the luxury. says
a Washington letter to the Providence
journal. Ten thousand dollars a year
is the very least sum upon which n mem
Der Of the National legislative body can
keep up appearances decently in the
fashionable swim here.
Because OF his position merely. q mem
Der finds himself encountered with GER
tain social obligations. His wife sup
posing that he keeps house-must receive
once n week on u considerable scale and
feed everybody who cares to come in; he
must entertain somewhat, in a way nm
n%voidably expensive. and n carriage is
a necessity. He can only escape this nv
living in n boarding. house. and 4 is for
no other reason worth mentioning that
four-ffths Of the Representatives and n
majority Of the Senators board.
Now, II you will consider what the cot
is. beyond what is mentioned above. 81
supporting the incidents Of = style" you
will perceive that n Congressman who
expects to cut any figure Mt all gregnri-
ously. would do admirably ~ get along
on MI income Of $1,000. Fifteen thou.
snnd dollars would perhaps be u fairer
estimate Of the amount required. For
this is n mighty extrava ant town; money
is spent like water on every hand. and II
does not do to be conspicuously parsi-
monious.
But O ConHressman's salary is only
SO. 900 most of the nation. lawmakers
have little or nothing besides their pay to
live upon-,and SO how is it possible for
him to be what vulgar folks call II
"swell?"
There are one or two other reasons also
why the average Congressman does not
take part in the whirl Of fashion. 1t Is q
mistake to suppose rs is generally con
ceived TO be the case-that II member,
simply through the TACT of being such, has
the entrte OF Washington society.
congressman. you will observe. nre
not "a a rule drawn from the fashionable
element, and If they have not the p,trte
Of society elsewhere they will not be
likely TO get IL here, unless. of course. in
the exceptional instance of q person of
great wealth. like Mr.. Letter, of Chicago,
who il able and willing TO expend vast
sums of money for entertaining and so on
in the purchase OF social status but the
same thing could be accomplished by the
snme means in other cities.
The power represented nv
masses of cold ca,h IL not 10 he resisted.
II has been utilized by the Letters, who ut
first were laughed at on every side, so
successfully that their position now-en-
tirely gained within two or three years-is
hardly surpassed by that of any one. and
the recognition accorded them has been
extended from Washington to Newport
and New York, where they cnRtomarily
appear nowadays on the lists of the 400.

While she did not engage in the bust
ness of saving logs aud grinding corn -
n matter of choice. but rather was brought
into it by force of circumstances, the
young woman has AIKEN great interest
III her work aud has shown remarkable
business capacity n physical endur-
ance.
Formerly engaged in teaching school,
Miss Faster had managed to save q con-
siderable mount OF money. which she
was induced to loan for investment in
the milling business. and eventually, in
order to recover the amount she had ad-
Vanced, was compelled TO assume the pro-
prietCr5hip OF the mill.
Entering upon tine responsibility of the
management. she soon found that without
the immediate supervision OF an interested
party but little work was accomplished.
She had employed an engineer, a sawyer
and "A miller, but to use her own language

the boiler would have steam enough to
run the saw it would be found necessary
to lace II belt, and by the time that job
was done steam had run down, and thus
hours would be consumed without saving

SO Miss Easter determined to enter the
mil herself and take personal charge,
which she did about two years ago, and
has ever since run the engine. saw and
bnhrs with her own hands in an admira-
BILE and profitable manner. She has be-
come an expert mechanic, and the prod

pEpEw AND THE rA1R

The probability OF this city being the
site of the Worlds Fair has never been az
good as It Ia to-day, That great Ameri-
can. CuAuNcEr NJ. DEPEw, has made IL
pretty clear to everybody who heard or
read his Washington speech before the
Senate Committee ON the subject, not
only that New York Is the place, but why
10 Is the place.
M DEPEw himself feels certain that we
will have It. Influence. not argument,
may possibly do something for Chicago,
but the final word has been said for Now
York.
One objection that is made by those
who oppose the selection of this city for
the site Ia that the Fair here in 1892 would
give the Democrats their Presidential
candidate. This In a baseless conviction.
The Republicans interested in the Fair
are as numerous and as prominent as the
Democrats. and those who would be most
grateful for the selection Of New York as
the site would feel no special obligation
to the Democrats for anything they have
done.
