According to the New York Herald the
government has another international ques-
tion on Its hands which promises to be far
more troublesome than was either the New
Orleans massacre or the Valparaiso affair.
1t seems that Chancellor Buddeke, an obsti-
nate sort Of a man connected with the Ger
man legation. has given great offense to his
neighbors in Washington by permitting his
servant. an old-time colored woman. to
hang the washing in his front yard. Two
eminent citizens of the national capital
one contractor and the other doctor,
publicly complain that this is disgraceful
state Of affairs, and insist that the washing
must be hung in less conspicuous place,
They don't think it nice. they say, that Bud
deke's garments should be 80 publicly dis
played. But Buddeke sustains his servant
and the servant says: "Dah amt no back
yard no how, an Use boun' TO use de front"
1t is understood that the doctor and the
contractor are going 20 appeal to the Presi-
dent to have the Objectionable member Of
the German legation recalled if his curious
foreign garments continue to be exposed in
his front yard. The doctor and the con-
tractor are neighbors Of the German, and
they say they are compelled to pull down
their blinds on the Germans wash days.
Here is chance for the President to arouse
congress by one Of his warlike messages.
The President might make political capital
by announcing that the German diplomat
must take in his washing or Germany must

Mrs. Felton,s Wlthdrawal.

tits to be regretted that Mrs FELTON, has
cinceled her engagements in different parts
OF the state TO deliver addresses in aid Of
the movement to secure a Georgia exhibit
at the worlds fair. She is a woman Of
great intelligence and a very earnest worker
in behalf of anything that has for its object
the promotion Of the best interests OF
Georgia. She Is forcible writer aud an
eloquent speaker. and bad she carried out
her programme she would have awakened a
deep interest throughout the state in the
Georgia exhibit project.
She should not have been deferred from
her purpose by tie opposition Of one man
In Atlanta who does not approve OF women
speaking in public. A hundred men would
have supported her. Even in Atlanta she
would have been listened to with pleasure,
and 10 other towns OF the state she would
have received encouragement that would
have been gratifying TO her.
It seems that It was not her idea that she
should visit various towns Of thestate In the
interest of Georgia exhibit to the worlds
fair. but that of a number Of the members
the state agricultural society. They re-
quested her 10 undertake the work and che
consented. She was not TO receive any COM
pensation. or reward of any kind, except
such as comes from the knowledge OF hav-
ing assisted worthy enterprise.
The people would have appreciated her
efforts and honored her for them. They
feel that Georgia should have an exhibit at
the worlds fair and their pride will be
wounded if the state does not have one.
Very naturally Mrs. FELTON, feels hurt by
having called into question the propriety Of
the course which she purposed to pursue,
particularly as that course involved con-
siderable labor and self-sacrifce; but, after
all, she takes the matter too seriously.
Surely the consciousness that she was doing
what was right and the certainty that she
would receive the approval of all who are
interested in the welfare OF the state are
sufficient to more than counterbalance the
disapproval Of one person.

The silver Bill win Wait Awhile.


The impression is growing in Washington
that the House will not pass a free silver
coinage bill at this session. The tariff and
appropriation bills will be taken up and dis.
posed of before anything is done with the
silver bill The longer the silver bin is put
off the greater the probability will be that
1t will not betakep up at all.
The free coinage members are doing a
good deal of loud talking about it. and they
convey the idea that the House Is over
whelmingly in favor of it, but such is not
the case. The sentiment in favor Of the
free coinage of silver is not as strong now
as 1t was when congress convened.
The reason is apparent. All OF the demo-
Gratis Of the eastern states are against free
silver coinage. The democratic leaders
understand that il the House should pass a
bill providing for the free coinage Of silver
the Democratic party would not, in all
probability, carry a single eastern state
And such bill would not be of any benefit
TO it in the south and west. Very naturally
there is not as much encouragement for Mr..
Bland's silver bill as there appeared to be
some time ago.

Unnecessarily Alarmed


Columbus and West Point are afraid that
II Atlanta draws her water supply from the
Chattahoochee river that river will not
have sufficient water when it reaches them
to furnish the power necessary to run their
mills. and they talk about getting out an
injunction to restrain Atlanta from taking
water from the Chattahooohee. They are
unnecessarily alarmed. 1t is true Atlanta
takes everything in sight she can without
much regard to the interests of others. but
the amount OF water she will
take out of the Chattahoochee will
not injure the milling interests of
Columbus and West Point. Columbus is
100 miles south OF Atlanta, aud about all
the water the latter city takes out OF the
river will get back into 1t be-
fore 1t reaches Columbus. The water
will have nowhere else to go,
and it is pretty certain that it will not stay
In Atlanta. And it will be in q much bet
ter condition when it reaches Columbus
than when it leaves Atlanta. There Is no
occasion. therefore, for Columbus to appre-
bend water famine. Her mills will have
all the water they want, however much
Atlanta may need to quench her thirst or
keep her reasonably clean

Angry =" Stars"

A woman who reaches a commanding
position in the theatrical world is, as a
general thing, very difficult to get along
with pleasantly. She has many whims and
she insists upon having her way in everyx
thing AND she will not brook rivalry OF
any sort.
Two stage STARS" OF the first magnitude
have attracted considerable attention from
the newspapers within the last few days
one by her peculiarities, and the other by her
Jealousy of possible rival They are Sarah
Bernhardt and Lillian Russell. Sarah
wanted to stop at hotel in st. Louis,
but while either of the leading hotels would
have received her willingly without her
menagerie neither would Let her have a
room because she persisted In having her
dogs, snakes, parrots and monkeys in the
hotel with her. She went first to the South
ern and when her demands were not ac-
ceded TO there she went to the LindelI.
where she met with no better success. She
couldn't be made to understand that the
hotelkeepers would make no concessions to
her-that they proposed to treat her as
they would any other guest. She stormed
uA10 OatouoNf tAL0 Allhuo JuluH5 extremely
uncomfortable for everybody who came
into contact with her. and, finally after
expressing her opinion Of the hotel keepers
as strongly as she knew how she returned
to her private car where she spent the
night.
Lillian Russell got into temper at Bos-
ton because lot Of college boys presented
some very handsome bouquets to Miss Claire
a member of Miss Russell's company. Miss
Russell said that If she had just dropped
hint to her New York friends that she
wanted flowers they would have covered
the entire stage of the Boston theater with
them, and they wouldn't have been pre-
sented by little college boys either She
intimated that for the merit she possessed
Miss Claire was altogether too anxious for
notoriety.
Great actresses and singers are so petted
by the public that they become unreasona-
BILE in their demands. They conduct them
selves as if they owned the world. II their
| slightest wish is not granted they are cer>
tain to make somebody unhappy. 1t is
fortunate for hotelkeepers and others who
cater to the public that the number Of them
is not larger.

Not Such a Great Fraud AFTER All.

took his place at the next examination, filed
out answers to the questions ON his papers, and
turned them into the examiners. as did all the
other applicants. Then, without waiting for the
result of the examination, he wrote a fonr or
five column exposure, in which he gave many
OF the absurd" questions, and, while claiming
to be fairly weleducated and informed man,
declared that many OF his answers, which were
also printed, were mere guess work and were
doubtless radically wrong. Indeed, he printed
under some of his own answers the correct
answer received from books OF reference. The
article clearly showed that the newspaper man
knew some things that very few people knew,
but that he was utterly deficient In many things

What VIII Be Done at ST. Louis7

/ What VIII Be Done at St. Loui67
The interest in the conference Of the alli-
ance, labor and Industrial organizations
( which takes place at st. Louis tomorrow is
/ greater than appears on the surface. 1t
will be rather imposing conference. At
/ least !, 900 delegates will participase in it.
/ Will 1t favor an independent political or
| ganization That is the question that Is
being discussed by the politicians. If it
does there will be three tickets in the field
in the approaching national campaign.
No one. of course. believes that third
party would stand any chance Of eleoting
It's candidates, but II would have disturb
ing effect upon the two old parties, and
the question, From which would It draw
the more votesi would become deeply in
teresting one.
The indications are that the conference
will decide in favor OF a third party. 1t
will not name 9 ticket, but It will, In all
probability, authorize the calling Of q con-
veution for that purpose. The men who
will be in control of it will insist upon in-
dependent political action. It Is un-
derstood that the nine congressmen who
are now acting outside Of the Democratic
and Republican parties will advise that a
presidential ticket be nominated, and that
congressional nominations be made In all
congressional districts
The conference has no specific authority
to organize political party, and that point
will doubtless be presented by those who are
opposed to a third party. But, however
strongly it may be urged, it is doubtful
II it will command great deal of respect
There will be general surprise If 1t does.
All advices ere to the effect that the tend
ency Of the conference toward third party
will be SO strong that it will be impossible
TO check 1t.
There may be delegates in the conference
who would not stand by the conferences
action if it should declare in favor of third
party. In fact. it is not at all improbable
that there would be bolt from the confer
ence, but If there should be it is pretty
safe to predict that the number who would
withdraw would not be large.
The men who will control the conference
have nothing to lcse by going into third
party and they hope to gain something.
They believe third party could poll large
platform third party is likely to adopt,
but upon the feeling of discomfort amoug
the laborers in industrial callings and the
farmers.
They would Of course be disappointed, be-
cause during the campaign It would be
made apparent even 10 the dullest intellect
that the third party could not remove the
causes OF their discomfort. Last fall there
was thoroughly organized third party in
Ohio, but the number Of votes 1t polled Yves
so small in comparison with what 1t was
claimed it would be that very little atten-
ton was paid to II. II there should be a
third national party this year that would be
its experience In about all the states.
Democrats Of the south are not yet ready to
stand upon the same platform with repub-
licans Of the north, and Congressman
Watson win find they are not If he and
other third party leaders succeeded in
getting the alliance committed to q third

Called Down by Mrs. Harrison.

white house. says the Detroit Free Press There
WAS a young man in Washington during Janu-

was well known there as boy by Mrs Harri.
son. For two or three years past he has lived
in New York and has become an utter swell,
with all the affectations aud other evidences OF
lofty civilization incidental to the class.
He attended one of the receptions at the
white house, and when he went forward to
shake hands with Mrs Harrison he held his
hand away up high and across his chest. as is
the custom OF some. Mrs. Harrison noticed it
instantly, and, with a quizzicsl little smile as
she put out her hand, she remarked:

never learned that out on the Wabash"
Tom came down.
