to believe that two or three-sven q dozen
cases Of the kind are genuine that the
women involved really believed they loved

were separated. But when "AIice Mitchelr'
cases are announced from all quarters, as they
have been recently, it becomes evident that
the morbid desire of some young women to
get their names in the papers leads them to
make fools of themselves. Before the uu>

and virulent epidemic of che cranky malady

The Leak" in the Executive Session.
Some very queer proceedings have been
going on in Washington lately. That pc
cullar and aggravating institution, the
Senate executive session, is the cause. 1t is
said that several senators have been 'shad-
owed" all over town by detectives for the
purpose OF ascertaining whether or not they
gave away" information concerning the
secret session to the newspapers.
1t will be remembered that during the
last session of congress big "rumpus" was
raised about "leaks" in the executive session,
whereby information Of the matters dis
cussed was obtained by the correspondents.
An investigation was ordered, some arrests
made and a mass Of testimony taken; but
in the end it all amounted to nothing. The
sensation blew over, the Senate continued
its secret sessions and the correspondents
returned to their practice Of reporting fully
everything OF consequence that trauspired
during the secret session.
Something of the kind happens every
year, as regular as the sessions are convened
and adjourned. These sporadic attempts to
preserve the secrecy" Of the executive
sessions have come to be looked upon as q
matter of course; but In discussing them
a great many people have come to the con-
clusion that the executive session is, in a
great measure, farce, and is unnecessary
and undemocratic.
Leaks have been discovered during the
present session., Of course. The senators
have talked over the matter, and one or
two Of them have gone so far as to accuse
the executive clerk of giving out informa-
tion to the press. This clerk is James r,
Young. brother Of John Russell Young
and while nobody except the accusers
believes the charge, 1t Is said to
be likely that Mr.. Young will resign.
Should he do so it is probable that his as
sistant Col. Morrow, Of Missouri. will follow
his example. and even the venerable Capt.
Isaac Bassett, who has been the
| doorkeeper Of the Senate for
over thirty years, may be constrained to
resign also. Not satisfied with charging
Mr.. Young with making the disclosure, 50
the story goes, certain senators" have
determined to find the leaks, and to this end
have employed private detectives to shadow
other senators. 1t 10 gratifying to note
that nothing has resulted from this cleft

tor Pettigrew. of South Dakota, very nearly
