II had an experience the other day
which has interested me more than any
thing of a similar nature which has hap
pened to me in all my business expert
ence. A young lady who moves in the
best society brought me three letters
and photographed them for her, and
at her request destroyed the negatives.
The letters were the most tender and
ardent love missives imaginable They
were addressed to the young lady her
self, and were signed by name which
am sure you would recognize instantly
were to mention il. will confess that
curiosity got the better of-iny judgment,
and finally said:
You'll pardon me. but this Job is q
little unusual, isn't it?'
80 Is itT she said smiling
sit strikes me so. Ireplied 'Idon't
see why you want photographs of these
letters since you have the letters them
selves
-'Don't your Well. do Suppose
the letters were to be lost or burned or
destroyed in some other way
-'Wouldn't the photographs be de-
stroyed just as easily as the lettersT'
Perhaps not; especially il they were
not kept in the same place with the let
ters But I'm not afraid Of losing them
by fire or in any such way as that The
fact is. the ink is fading out and in q
short time it is likely to be iIlegble'

Social I.lfe i omc,.l c,rc,..


Until wirhia few years wealth in-
nnenced Washington society very little;
but OF late there has been change, and
from this time on money viii be more
aud more the key to the relative social
positions. There will be probably
higher and lower classes. and there will
be changes such as marked the Jeffer-
son administration with its simplicity,
on the Monroe, with its stateliness; but
the President will always give recep-
tons to Congress. the diplomatic corps
and the army and navy; there will al
ways be state dinners at which officials,
regardless Of wealth. viii he almost
wholly the only guests. Refreshments
are always served at evening receptions,
except at the White House. President
Hayes. who spent the largest amount Of
money on entertainments OF any of the
Presidents, always had an elegant colla-
ton; but since that time there has been
no eating and drinking at the three
annual card receptions in the Executive
Mansion.
To the young woman just freed from
school q winter ia Washington society
is like winter spent with Aladdin's
genii. The meeting Of titled foreigners,
the escort OF army and navy officers,
the acquaintance Of men and women Of
national reputation, the beautiful homes,
grand balls and germans, the dainty
lunches, she bouquets and Paris gowns,
all go to make up the splendor; but to
the middle aged woman who for years
has watched the crowds come and go;
who must pay visits no matter how
dreary; must see the frivolity which is
of course present. it is different story,
and any slight illness or misfortune in
the family is taken advantage of to an
nounce that "Mrs. So and SO will be un-
able to return her visits this season be-
cause of the death Of near relative,
etc.
In most cities people are in the high
est society because of wealth or family,
because Of extraordinary ability or
genius, or from accident. In Washing
ton it is because of their official POI
sition. They may make friends and be
beloved, but that does not entitle them
to the official invitation. Ladies are
invited TO the state dinner given to the
Supreme Court not because they are
the brightest and best women Of the
Presidents acquaintance, but because
their husbands are members OF the
con mitiee on the judiciary Of the Sem
ate or the House, or to the state dinner
to the diplomatic corps. because their
husbands are ON the committee on
foreign affairs Such a guest may be
- a
sit in her seat and receive the same
official attention Personality is lost in
position. This loss OF personality In
position is true OF all grades, even the
President He is served first at the
state dinner, and so exacting is this
rule that even when his friend from his
old home dimes quietly by his side. it is
the host and not the guest who isserved

sidney Coopsr's PsnoIl..

Some of the earliest sketches Of the
veteran artist, Sidney Cooper, r A.,
were made with pencils. given to him
by stranger (whom in later years lie
met as fellow member of the Royal
Academy, and sharpened by no less a
person than the head of the English
Church. The young artist was more
interested, at the time, in the important
fact that he had fine new skelching
materials, than in the identity OF his
two friends. Years later, however, by
a leasing coincidence he and the giver
of the pencils discovered each other.
Cooper passed his boyhood in Canter-
bury. He very early showed taste
for art. and nothing delighted him
more than to sketch the cathedral One
afternoon he was drawing the central
tower on q slate, when a gentleman
who was sketching the cathedral
noticed his work, and gave him q
bundle of pencils and some drawing
paper.
Years later, writes Mr.. Cooper in
my Life. lin 1885, at a social meeting
I'm London, met Stanfield. Roberts,
Cattermole. one of the Landseers, Frank
Stone, Patrick Nugent, and some others.
and proposition was made that each
Of us should tell some anecdote of his
early life. / related the incident of the
slate. As finished, Cattermole jumped
up and cried out:
~Why, Sidney. are you the slate
Then know that / am the pencilsi

the pencils in the courtyard of Canter-
bury Cathedral; and are you verify the
man who was the boy then p"
@But though he now had pencils, he
had no knife, and had to ask stranger
TO sharpen them for him.
~One day very serious looking man
sauntered by, with his hands clasped
behind his back. said to myself,
sThat is priest In those days the
boys called all the parsons priests, and
] could see that he was a clergyman of
some sort.

looked at my drawing. Very good, my
boys he said, and passed on.
Immediately door opened near me,
and out came a little man with pow
dered hair, and attired in nankeen
breeches and blue velvet coat with
metal buttons, and poking his little nose
through the railing, asked me what that
gentleman had said to me.

A FIGHT BARELY AvERrED.

Col. Haskell and Representatives Evans
Fight Duel of Words.
COLUMBIA, S. c.. Dec. 15.-There was al
most personal collision in the House of
Representatives to-day. The Tillman ad-
ministration had introduced a bill to change
the system Of county government. Col J.
@. Haskell, representative from Columbia,
In discussing the bill, said
that the administration was seek
ing to centralizs the power In
the hands Of the governor. at smacks, u
said he, ''too clearly Of certain administra-
ton measures which, last year. under the
prostitution of high Office, were rushed
through this House." Col. Haskell then re-
ferred TO Representative John Gary Evans
of Aiken as the administration whip, y
saying he was peculiarly suited by shape
and appearances" for whipping
In" the followers Of the ad-
ministration. He then launched GU
into singing excoriation Of the admin
istratiou, saying: at looks as IL ID desired
TO make one voice ali powerful and one arm
all potent In every province which by right
belongs to the people, He compared the
present administration with the previous
regime, saying that honest men who had
placed the state In the best condition it had
ever been In had been foully slandered, and,
on the cry Of the demagogue,
dropped as improbable servants, and
now after twelve months of the Till
man administration the state has lost $40 :
900 phosphate royalty and her bonds are
below par"
EVANS USES EPITHETs.
Mr.. Evans, replying. said that he flung
back in the teeth the insinuations of "this
man, who speaks as the ass he is in a lions
skin"
Col. Haskell retorted: II will say that
these opprobrious epithets must cease. "
Evans then alluded 20 Col Haskell as a
wasp, which, when crushed, turned its tail
with deadly sting. Referring to the COM
ing OF the Tillmanites into power, he said
| that the people had whipped Col. Haskell
and his crowd from these halls, which should
have been sacred" He said Col. Haskell
had attacked the chief execu-
tive because the latter had struck
at corporations in which Col Haskell was
individually interested. Col. Haskell replied
that this was absolutely false. H. said that
he would treat with contempt the filings Of
''the youngster who IN his widest moments
| would not attempt to substantiate what he
had said" The speaker here interfered and

SHOT ON THE STAGE.

A Scene In a Colored Presentation OF
Jesse James Proves Too Realistic.
ATLANTA, Ca. Dec. 15.-To-night the
dramatic talent of one Of Atlanta's swell
negro churches gave a theatrical entertain
ment for the benefit OF the church at
Schell's hail on Peters street. Jesse
James" was the play and for while the
colored actors fairly eclipsed the brillianoe
of the kerosene foot lights in their efforts.
One Of the climaxes Of the play is where
she noted Jesse James kills one of his pur-
suers. This was made realistic IN the ex-
treme Jesse was armed with an old Enfield
rife, together with sundry other weapons.
It was thought, Of course, that the gun was
loaded only with blank charge, but when
the Jesse in black banged away accord
ing to the plot of the play
his pursuer, who was well
known negro by the name Of Ed Or ocket,
fell with tragic reality that would have
been applauded by most critical audience
The gun had been loaded with ball, and the
leaden charge tore a dollar sized hole in
Crocket's abdomen. 1t is thought that he
viii die before morning. The superstition
Is that the gun was loaded with ball by mis-
take, but the detectives are looking into the
matter, having a suspicion that it may,
have been done purposely.
