GOSSIP OF THE DAY.

warrior, Gen. Sher
the Theater. man, isan enthusiastic
patron OF theatrical
performances. He has the entree to
every theater in the city, says WASH
ington letter. He likes a seat we'll down
in front, for his eyesight and hearing
are not as good as they were when he
marched through Georgia. An express
sion of solid satisfaction and hearty en-
Joyment fills his face as he watches the
show. He is a good listener, and
follows closely the unfolding of
the plot. For the good look
ing girls of the company, too, he has an
appreciative eye. Nothing delights him
more than to be taken back of the scenes
and be introduced to some performer
who has caught his fancy. In his ap-
plause he is generous. He always ap-
pears in evening dress, and his we'll
known rugged face, prominent nose and
closely cropped white beard look much
more familiar in SWallOW-tailed coat
in these days than if gold braid and
epaulettes were beneath them.

ming along through the house, They

over the state egg from the arid plains
and mountains like the maternal par
ent Of undevei0ped poultry, SUSAN
3. ANTHONY and her band have kept
their eyes steadily on this as the main
issue, and it is intimated that SUSAN
has q special point 10 make in this. The
alluring hope is presented 20 her Adde'S
cent ambition that she may be one of
the first senators from Wyoming. The
plan outlined by her champions is that
she will at once remove TO the new
state. Only sixty days residence is re-
quired for q voter, 50 that in two
months she will be fuli-fiedged citi-
zen and voter. The women all vote,
and she will put herself aS their head
as their candidate for United States
senator. OF course, q considerable
portion of the male element must be in
favor Of woman suffrage, or il could not
have been prevalent there and imbedded
IN the constitution. 1t does not appear,
IN fact, that any Of the men attempted to
stay the movement. Whether cowed by
domestic powers, or exercising the
natural prudence of politicians i'll face
of the inevitable, is not quite apparent.
ElatiOn and enthusiasm are said to pos
sess SUSAN and her cohorts In view of
this rising panorama. 1t would be q
distinction tor which SUSAN might
Justly contend, as the crown Of ages of
gallant and puisSant struggle What a
magnificent panorama might there be of
tie festive SUSAN sailing in among
those dignifed, precise and precedent
LOVING senators with her credentials as
the first senator from the new state.
There would be an af'rIghted hegira to
the cold tea room. Still, SUSAN is no
giddy young thing. She has brains, ex-
perience, and a tongue. Possibly a
pretty face as q substitute would make
her welcome less frigid. If the senator's

ONE of the absurdities of the revised
tariff, as reported, is an increase of
duty on hops. This country raises a
surplus, and last year exported over ten
million pounds. 1t imported also about
half the amount for the brewers, who
paid 30 cents for the foreign article and
II for the native. The idea is to get
the foreign article so high that it can
not be used. 1t is different from the
home grown. and needed to mix with
it for good beer. The only effect of the
increased tax would be to make brewers
find some cheap substitute and a less
pure beer.

anomaly in this age, even the Oriental

NicoIinj is by no means the conceited
conglomeration of melody and self
esteem that her enemies would have us
believe. On the contrary, she is very
pIeasant-spoken, warm-hearted little
woman, who feels kindly towards the
world at large, from whom she has re-
ceived in the past some measure OF un-
kindness, and reserves big warm spot
in her affections for her friends. Her
voice is her fortune, and she
makes it pay a rich. percentage,
but she docs not for moment forget
the obligation she owes to the public.
She has never denied herself to those
members of the press who are properly
introduced, though she is bound to draw
the line at those impetuous young men
who think that mere business card,
without any Endorsement whatever, is
a sufficient credential for admission to
her boudoir. He says Nine. Nicolini is
