SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON.
The Secret Of Social Success at the
Capitalize PocketboOk, Salad
Bowl and Punch Bowl.

The material for a salon very pos
sibly exists in Washington, but the
most of it is a little raw and I'M
husked. The average Congr essmen
is not going to worry himself into a
dress suit, and go TO some clever wo-
mans house merely to talk, to discuss
public questions, and say bright
things He prefers to do that at the
Capitol, and have it printed in the
Record. or pour il into the interview
er's ear, and have it spread broadcast
through his district. His ideas of So
liability include a bounteous hospi-
tally, and are i~nseparably associated
with bodily food. A thin wafer with
a glass OF gooseberry syrup and water
will not satisfy, stimulate, nor ade-
quately reward his expectations,
founded upon even a verbal invita-
ton. He appreciates terrapin and
champagne, and getting them, seeks
for the Interior motive. I've been
asked to dinner twice this session by
Smith. What do you suppose he
wantsS' queried a perturbed Con-
gresham. And this is the all too
usual view taken of even the simplest

tended for good-fellowship's sake.
The family OF a certain high official
OF means came to Washington intent
upon setting an example OF Spartan
simplicity and frugal elegance in the
way of entertainments. They sent
out engraved cards a fortnight before
hand, and the heated and crowded
guests were RECALLED with a vision of a
l,Iw~ N fAas.at and N nIufn nf
waters when they reached the dining
room. Society naturally criticised.
and q blunt old soldier wished that
the money paid the engraverhad been
spent on a caterer, and that an infor-
NAL entertainment had not succeeded
a formal invitation. A shrewd, rich,
and illiterate woman who came
to Washington determined to get
into society. looked the field over
for a season, and said:-'I know
how to do it. Feed 'emin And she
did, and conquered. and rose to that
ultra circle which affects to scorn Off
cials and politicians, and hangs upon
the diplomatic corps. The secret of
such o social success lies solely in the
po~cketbook. the salad bowl, and the
punch bowl, and is attained by any
one who will judiciously distribute
their contents. Such circles are the
antipodes of a salon. but it is out OF
the mass of such material that a salon
must choose its recruits, and people
more or less affected by such social
standards and surroundings must be
educated and raised to a higher level.
Because of this general vulgarity, a
salon is ali the more needed as a place
of refuge for public men and clever
people with trained and refined social
tastes. -Hdrpeg's BazGr.

"Well, good night, Miss A. said
young man the other evening to a
Dwightville girl upon whom he he
was calling. II feel certain that if
l stay two minutes longer, shall be
indiscreet enough to kiss you"
"Well, good night, Mr.. p" re-
piled the girl. "Oh, by the way" "
she added, II want to show YOU my
new satchet bag before you go. 1t
will take only couple of minutes. "

But John stood silent after he had

There is a Boy 1 Can Trust.

We once visited public school.
AT recess a litlle fellow came up and
spoke to the teacher; as he turned
to 90 down the platform, the master
said: "That is boy | can trust.
He never failed me-" We followed
him with our eye and looked at him
when he took his seat after recess.
He had fine, open, manly face.
We thought a good deal about the
masters remark. What character
had that boy earned! He had al
ready got what would be worth more
to him than a fortune. 1t would be
a passport into the best store in the
city, and, what is better, into the
confidence and respect of the whole
community. We wonder if the boys
know how soon they are rated by
other people. Every boy in the
neighborhood is known, and opin-
ions are formed of him; he has a
character either favorable or un-
favorable. A boy of whom the
master can say, II can trust him; he
never failed me-, will never want
for employment.

Arkansas. This is the first public
Office he ever held, and although
this is his first term IN the Senate. he
is regarded as one of the leading
spirits of that body. Quick, logical
and forcible in debate, he makes
himself felt on any measure he adj
vocates or opposes. He was selected
to nominate Hon. James X. Jones
for United States Senator, and in
few well-selected sentences did that
duty in an impressive manner. He
is the introdncer of several import
ant measures, bills and resolutions.
He has introduced bill to repeal
the crop-mortgage laws bill, which
has passed the Senate, requiring in
surance companies to give good
bonds before doing business in this
State bill to permit three-fourths
of jury to render verdict; a joint
resolution proposing an amendment
to the Constitution prohibiting any
person from holding the office of
State Treasurer, County Treasurer,
Sheriff or Tax Collector more than
two terms in succession.
He is ever at his post, both in the
Senate and committee rooms. His
district made no mistake in his cleo
ton and his constituents are Justly
proud of their Representative in the

Racing With Wolves.

Many thrilling tale has been told
by travellers of a race with wolves
across the frozen steppes of Russia.
Sometimes only the picked bones OF
the hapless traveller are found to tell
the tale. In our own country thou
sands are engaged in life-and-
death race against the wolf Consump-
ton. The best weapons with which
to fight the foe, is DR.. Piercc's Golden
Medical Discovery. This renowned
remedy has cured myriads of cases
when all other medicines and doe
tors had failed. 1t is the greatest
blood purifier and restorer of strength
known to the world. For all forms
of scrofulous affections (and con
sumption is one of them) it is un-
eQualed az remedy.

Hon. E. E. White.

The substantial Representative
from Nevada county was born April
30, 1854, in that portion of Ouachita
county now embraced in Nevada
county, and was married in 1876 to
Miss Kate Thornton. Mr.. White
was member of the Legislature of
1885, and was the author and prin-
cipal advocate of the game law
passed at that session. He was an
active participant in other important
legislation of that session; in fact,
the reduction of the States general
tax from Z mills to 4 mills at that
time was due almost entirely to his
persistent efforts to that end. In
October, 1885, he was appointed a
special or general Indian agent. His
field of duty embraced the entire
West. He was on duty at different
times in several States east of the
Mississippi river, and in all the States
and Territories west of it except
four. He saw much service among
the wild tribes and was at different
times in charge of the Ute agencies
in Utah, the Kiowa, Comanche,
Apache, and Usage and Kaw agen-
cies in the Indian Territory, and the
large Indian school on the old Paw
nee reserve at Genoa, Neb. He
won the reputation of possessing the
best tact and skill in the manage
ment and control of wild and turb-
ulent Indians of any person in the
Indian service. His services in all
respects were so satisfactory to the
government that in 1888, Mr.. Cleve-
land promoted him to be an Indian
inspector. Mr., White was the
youngest person by 20 years to hold
that position, the other four inspect
ors being Gen. Henry Heth of Rich
mond, Va, Gen. Frank Armstrong
of New Orleans, Maj. Mallct of Os-
wego, y. Y, and Gen. II. b. Gard
ner of West Virginia.
Mr.. White is a journalist by pro-
fession. He is the only Democrat
who has represented Nevada county
in the Legislature since Congressman
McRae came here at the session of
1877. In this he is chairman of the
committee on elections and a men,
ber of the committee on apportion-
ment and also of the committee on
printing. He is the author of one
of the bills for the Australian cleo
ton law passed at this session.
Mr.. White is a parliamentaran of
the highest order. He is frequently
called to the chair by Speaker Rec
tor. Many members nave expressed
wish that he come back to the Leg
islature two years hence, and should
they be returned they will support
him in preference to any person else
for speaker, He is also being urged
to become candidate for Secretary
of State at the next general election.

NE LEFT HIM PART.
A Thief Robs His Roommate of
TWO Hundred Dollars.

A young man came from the West Wed.
nesday. by way of Massachusetts. intend
ing to 60 to his home in the interior Of the
state to spend Thanksgiving. In Massa-
chusetts he met man with whom he fell
in love at first sight. 1t appears. and to
whom he confided many secrets, among
others the fact that he had nearly $4O0 In
his pockets. They came here. and liking
the looks of the town concluded to stay
over while and see more of it. They
took lodgings at boarding house of some
what shady reputation, after doing the
town Thursday. Both were pretty tired
when they went to bed. but the Massachu
sets man rose first yesterday morning.
His companion was still sound asleep. and
the Massachusetts man went through his
trousers pockets. abstracting therefrom
the sum Of 5000. He then took his depart
ure.
When the Western man put his clothes
on he discovered his loss, but reaching in
to his inside pocket found roll of $16O
still left. He entered a complaint at the
station. giving an accurate description of
his companion, and then took the train for
his home in the West. telling the police
that he had not the face to go home to his
parents after losing nearly all he had.
The police telegraphed to Boston and
Bangor, and the trains we're searched by
officers, but no man answering to the de-
scription Of the sneak thief was found.

The Junior Partner Had the Key ard
Ne Was Out of Town.

An eminently respected pussy cat be-
longing to a Commercial street produce
firm spent Thanksgiving night in rather
closer quarters than was customary. The
animal is terror to mice and rats. and
generally has the run of the store after
business hours. to indulge in her favorite
pastime. Thursday afternoon the
animal was in the counting room and
after strolllng around and rubbing up
against everybody in the room, jumped up
on the junior partners roll top desk and
curled down amongst the papers. LET s
shut the desk down and see how sheslikes
it." suggested the young lady who keeps
the books. No sooner said than done. One
of the clerks ran the cover down and there
was the cat as snug as bug in rug.
After letting her enjoy herself for a few
moments the young lady felt twinge of
conscience and lifted the cover. That is.
she intended to, but there was a spring
lock on the desk and the jun ior partner
who was spending Thanksgiving at his
childhood home in the country had the KEY.
OF course there was nothing to do but pry
up the bottom as far as it would 90 and
let in little air through the crack. The
cat is of a peaceable disposition and
doubtless settled down to nights sleep at
once. AT any rate when the junior
partner rolled his desk up yesterday morn
ing the animal was there and the papers
and pens and ink were all right side up
with care.

A PORTLAND MUSICIAN.
Some Bath People Want Him for
Municipal Judge.

The city Of Bath is considerably excited
over contention as to who shall be muni-
pal judge. Judge Coombs, who has been
reappointed, but not confirmed. is father
of Ardon W. Coombs, Esq, of this city,
while his rival for the position is Mr.. H.
E Duncan, the musician so we'll known in
this city. Mr.. Duncan is the organist in
one of the Bath churches, where he has SO
delighted the people, that some of them
want him for municipal Judge as we'll
Judge Coombs, who has been reappointed,
is opposed by considerable faction,
among them Collector Wakefield. The
opposition to Judge Coombs arises from
an old controversy over Mr.. Bailey. a for
mer city marshal. Some of this opposition
has rallied around Mr.. Duncan and have
prevailed on the Governors Council to ta-
BILE the nomination. 1t will come up prob
ably next Monday. Collector Wakefield is
not for Mr.. Duncan, although he thinks he
would be good judge. Mayor Twitchell
has been warm partisan Of Mr.. Duncan.
