Anna Dickinson was essentially a magnetic
speaker, there has been no one Ike her before
or since. 1t was distinct loss 10 the platform
when she left It. There has been a great deal
of wonder Is 20 why she left her work whea
she was at the food tide of her popularity.
The reason is simply this: She felt that she
had 10 message 10 give, and she was too truly
Quaker TO speak unless she felt the NOV
ing of the spirit. II had a message 10 bring"
she said, 'and ] gave it from my heart, but
my work is done for the present, what may
come up by and by cannot teli When it
comes, ana If II comes. II will fsd rue ready -
There is no ons who ever heard her who does
not wish that a message would be again given
her.-Boston Herald.

ably the best adapted for purposes Of enter

are SO altogether suitable for dancing, and,
as OF course you know. the dining room is one
of the finest in this country. There is some
thing at once tomelike and superb about the

most Of the refinements of life. The art of
entertaining they understand to a perfection
not at all attained on this side Of the water.
If yyou don't believe it visit tue British lega-
tionn
do you not find any other houses in Wash
ington well equipped fer entertainingg"
''Oh, yes, indeed For instance, Mr. Nor
tom house is most delightfully."- arranged for
entertaining The most important thing for
such purposes is to hare an extended sweep
OF rooms. Now since the new addition has
been put on, there Is in the vice presidents
house a stretch of ITO feet of drawing rooms
and dining room in a straight line. This az
fords most desirable facilities for dancing.
Besides, as you doubtless are aware, the new
addition gives room for separate entrance
and exit for guests at parties and other enter
tainments, with second porte cochere out
side and large dressing rooms and cloak rooms
within. 1t is quite a new idea to me. and, on
the whole, have no hesitation in saying that
the Morton establishment is as well equipped
as any have visited In my native country.
In fact, there are very few Of the great houses
in England so well provided with entertain
ing facilities as is the vice presidents. Espe-
cially below stairs it is marvel. To begin
with, there are two chefs, one a general man
ager and the other pastry cook, while all
the appointments are marvelously complete.
what do you think of the Letters houseln
you mean, of course, the Blaine house,
occupied by them on Dupont street. 1t is
handsome residence, but not at all well
adapted for entertaining There are only two
parlors available for dancing, and in waltzing
from one room to the other you must jump
over the brass rod on which the folding doors
run lest you trip up. Perhaps the most avail
able house for parties in Washington with
the exception of the British legation, is Dr.
Hammond's I have never been able to i'm
agine why so magnificent mansion should
be placed in such a locality. The hall itself
is as big as a large ball room, in the shape Of
rotunda, and YOU may go through dozen
apartments before you arrive at the living
room of the household. Among other houses
in Washington which I consider superb
enough to vie with any private residences
abroad are those of Gen. Nicholas Anderson,
Justice Gray, Col. John Hay. Henry Adams
and the Tuckermans' Washington Star.

THE BAEDER GLUE COMPANY'S AZ
FAIRS.

PITTsBURG Pa, March 1.-THE affairs
of the Baeder Glue company, of New
York and Pittsburg, which failed several
days ago, are in a very much muddled
condition. H. Il. Keen, one of the New
York partners, is in the city trying to I'M
ravei the mystery. He states that Louis
c. Haugheg, the Pittsburgh member of
the firm, acknowledges to having obtained
large sums of money on notes to which he
signed the firms name. The exact amount
thus appropriated was not known, but
Mir. Keen thought it would reach at least
100000. The total liabilities may exceed
Sl00 600, and the creditors, in his opinion.
will be lucky if they get so per cent of
their claims. Mr.. Haughey is brother
in-law of General Lew Wallace and has

RECEIVED A BLACK EYE.
Missouri's Antitrust Law Virtually De-
clared Unconstitutional.

ST. LOUIS, No, March 1.-THE anti
trust law received black eye figuratively
speaking in a decision rendered by Judge
Dillon this morning. 1t was IN case of
the state of Missouri against the Sim
monds Hardware company. This is the
test case to be fought out in the courts to
the end and its progress is watched
with great interest by large num-
Der of corporations in this state
and outside If the law is not knocked out
completely in the lower court the circuit
attorney, Clover, will loose no time in
learning the opinion of the supreme court
judges. Judge Dillon's is the first opin-
ION rendered in the state on this law.
Last December Secretary of State Lesuer
wrote to the Simmonds Hardware con-
pany asking them to make an affidavit
saying the corporation was not ii MEM
combine whose object was to
prices. The company refused to reply to
the first or a second letter, and suit was
filed in the circuit court asking the court
to declare the charter of the company for
feited for not complying with the law. The
Simmonds Hardware company filed a de-
murrer to the petition questioning the
cOnstitutionality of the law, and on this
Judge Dillon rendered his decision, sus-
tanning the demurrer and thus virtually
declaring the law to be unconstitutional.

Cost of Cirarefte Paner.

Paper for cigarettes is made from cotton
and linen and from rice straw, and is largely
of foreign manufacture. Cotton paper is
used in the cheapest and most poisonous
grades of cigarettes, and is SO cheap that the
wrappers for LOCO cotton paper cigarettes
cost only two cents. Rice paper is the choicest
and most costly. Tobacconized paper is made
by saturating paper with an infusion of to-
bacco and pressing it in such way as to pro-
duce an imitation of the veins of the tobacco
leaf Some use has been made of the fiber of
the stalks of the tobacco plant in producing a
paper for all tobacco cigarettes. Straight

BUILDIN AND STOCK ToTAlLYLosT

BUILDING AND STOCK TOTALLY LOST
CINCINNATI, o., March 1.-THE fire
which burst out Of the windows of the
clothing house OF Stern, Mayer & Co., at
the northwest corner of Third and Vine
streets, shortly after 1 o'clock this morn
ing. was not seen until attention was at
tracted by crashing glass from the win
dows BY the time the first fire engines
arrived the whole interior of the great
structure was ablaze. A general alarm
calling all the engines WAS at once sound
ed and the united efforts of the fire de-
partment were directed to combining the
fire within its own walls. Across the
street, on Vine, stands the Burnett house.
During the progress of the fire it was with
the utmost difficulty that the flames were
kept from entering that ancient hostelry.
The establishment OF Stern, Mayer 81 Co.
was one of the largest in the city. Its
stock was full and estimated at about
100000; il was wholly lost. The building
cost 100000 The total insurance is stated
to be $3.50, 900.
During the process of the fire one OF the
flremen was descending the ladder, when
piece of cornice struck him and knocked
him to the ground. He was carried away
in bad condition. The engines in the
Third street front had to be hauled away
by hand to save them as the heat was IN
endurable. On the way to the fire the
driver to one engine was very seriously in
jured by collision with a freight car
near the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
depot The wonder is that such a tall
structure on such a narrow street the
causaltv list among the fremen is not
much larger.
The firm of Stern, Mayer s. Co. has been
in existence thirty years. 1t is now COM
posed of b. Stern, Louis Mayer Jacob
Scheurer, Alexander Otfner and Theodore
Mayer. 1t succeeded the firm of Kuhn,
Netler & Co., the senior member of which
died but a few days ago.

The correspondents who frequent tie gal

weaknesses. They know his personal habits,
his mental composition, his views, his friend

anow all the employees of the house. all the
committee clerks, all the leaky vessels which

respondents are sitting about, smoking and
chatting, reading the morning papers or
carrying on political discussions with their
neighbors. The doors leading to the gallery
are opened by some one passing in or out,

wants a reelection, as nuch as to the people
