E street last night. President Green, after de-
ivering cordial address of welcome, intro
duced Mr.. VIM. NJ. Donnaun of New York, who
predicted that the empire 1state would cast her
electoral vote for the republican nominee no
matter who he might be. Messrs. Hugh Gale
OF North Carolina and W. W. johnson of Penn
sylvania also spoke, the latter saying that
President Harrison was one of the best Presi-
dents that ever sat in the chair; that he had
been true to the pledges of the platform of
1883, even if his party was not; that more coll
ored men were drawing salaries under him
than under any other President We have ever
had, and that four more years Of Harrisonism
would suit him very well.

IN case we did not return them in good

were on our way to Il well
bundled in robes and furs, and feeling
quite cheerful over the prospect Of
reaching II - after all.
The first twelve or thirteen miles of
our route was over a good road. and, as
we glided along at merry pace, had
opportunity to take note of my COM
panion's appearance.
He was tall, large man, well-built
and quite handsome, though not ex-
traordinarily so. What impressed me
most was his manner. He had firm,
decided, rather slow way OF speaking,
and his eyes met mine honestly and
tearlessly whenever looked at him.
His words carried conviction with them
and his straightforward manner gave
me the impression that my companion,
who had registered as H. A. Brown,
|, New York" was man Of truth and
honor who meant every word he said
and on whom one could depend in an
emergency. Beyond this and the fact
that he was stranger in that part Of
the country, learned nothing.

Of the treasury department, have lived
temperate and conmendable public and
private lives in Washington. The late
secretary Of the treasury, Mr. Window,
was pronounced temperance advocate.
In fact, the Temperance sentiment
seems to prevail in the entire adnninis-
tration. and the legislative circles as
we'll. 1t is very clear to my mind that
the popular impression concerning tip
ping in Washington is erroneous, be-
cause II is exaggerated. II is true that
individuals here, as elsewhere, indulge
in strong drink.
A few members Of the house OF rep
resenJatives are drinking men; but they
do not usually indulge their appetites
during the day, and hence are not un-
der the banefui influence while con-
gT'ess is in session. They surrender to
their unfortunate desires only at night
These individuals, however, should not
be regarded as fair examples Of the So
cial circles Of official society in the ma
tional capital
In a public address recently delivered
here, the speaker-Gea. Cutcheon-as-
serted that the social customs OF Wash
ington were responsible for much Of
the evil resulting from the use Of intox-
scatiae drinks Men and women, he
said were tempted beyond what they
were able to bear. lost their moral bal
ance, and drifted into lives Of sin. He

He was going home to his wife and
family. 1t was growing dark. His
road from the station was a lonely one,
and he was getting along as fast as he
could, when he suddenly suspected that
a man behind him was following him
purposely. The faster he went the
faster the man went, until they came 10
a churchyard. Now" he said 10 him
self "rll find out If he's after me, and
he entered the churchyard The man
followed him. Vague visions OF re-
volvers and Garrcte1s grew upon him
lie made detonr Of a splendid Tnauso-
leum. Still the man was after him,
round and round. AT last he turned
and faced the Fellow, and asked: What
the dickens do you want? What are
you following me for?" Wei, sir do
you always 70 hone like this? am eo-
