THE PRINCESS VICTORIA KAIULANI,
heir presumptive to the Hawaiian
throne, is a bright, clever girl of six
teen, a great favorite with her school
fellows at Harrowden Hall, where she
has been educated, and something of a
trial to her teachers on account of her
propensity for using more schoolgirl
slang than is considered nice for flu
ture queen. She will probably be pop
ular at Wellesley College, where she is
coming to be finished for she seems
happily unconscious of her future

CONGRESS.

In the Senate Tuesday, February
end, Senator Voorhees, vigorously de-
nounced the Washington correspond
ent. of the Philadelphia Press for charg-
ing him with an attempted coalition
with Senators Quay, Cameron and
Higgins, by agreeing to vote against
the confirmation of George M. Dallas,
of Pennsylvania, for circuit judge, pro-
vided they would reciprocate and vote
against the confirmation of Judge
Woods, of Indiana. The Senators
named emphatically asserted that Mr..
Voorhees, never made a suggestion to
them of the kind indicated by the cor
respondent of the Press.
In the House, the consideration of
the new rules was resumed. There
was considerable debate but little prog
ress made.
In the United States Senate Wednes-
day, MrDolph reported adversely from

a bill to pay the State of West Virgin
ia the sum due it under the direct tax

debate on the bill to provide for the
erection of postoffices in all cities and
towns where the postoffice receipts ex
coed 5000 annually. The remainder
of the session was spent in considering
the public printing bill.

Der of one Of the national committses-I
shall not name him-made this queer reply:
we have an extraordinary state Of
things. On both sides there appears to be a
general fear that their own man will be
elected"
THIS was a very bright remark, justified
TO some extent by the attitude Of certain
leaders. but not intended to be taken sed-
ously. From what l can learn 1t is going
70 be desperate campaign on both sides
All the leaders who were opposed to Harri-
son's nomination in one party and to CleVe-
lands In the other are gradually coming
into line, ADD within three weeks there wall
be an end Of all talk Of lukewarmness and
skulking.
l will give you a fragment or two Of in
side information as to the national cam
paign. The repu blican managers are much
worried over the outlook in the west They
expect to lose Indiana. Illinois they are
alarmed about. in Wisconsin the chances
are conceded to be about even, and Kansas
and Nebraska both sides are expecting to
see land In the lap of the Peoples party,
with the possibility that the Dskotas will
follow suit. This is not an encouraging
outlook for the republicans. On the other
hand, the democratic managers have their
full share OF troubles While they have
| much hope Of capturing several states in
the republican stronghold in the west, they
are arid q number OF southern state5 VIII
slip away from them. Virginia, West Nir-
ginia, North Carolina, Georgia, AlRbau a,
Tennessee and Louisiana are all giving
trouble.
One Of the shrewdest politicians in the
United States, Gen. Clarkson, said to me
to-day:
This is the most remarkable campaign in
our history. Heretofore the question has
been: Which party will carry New York
and Indianaf Now look at the state of
things, Half the states in the union are
more or less doubtful. New York and In
diana are dwarfed in Importance. would
like to see the man wise enough to foretell
what will be the result"
mir. Clarkson, am happy to say is rap
idly adding to his fortune Having spent
about $780, 900 in politics in the last four
years, his friends had began to fear ne was
going to lose all he had. But fortunate in
vestments In the last two years have re-
couped the sacrifices which he made in poll
tics, and his income, largely from western
coal ana mining properties, is now estimated
at S25, 900 { year. Clarkson and his lovaOle
wlfe, with their three fine boys, Two Of
whom are in Harvard. occupy one of the
| handsomest cottages here, and drive the
finest Kentucky horses in town.
So, having started out with Kentucky,
and come back 10 Kentucky, perhaps it Is
time to draw our piazza symposium to q
close. ROBERT GRAVES.

a Curious Chapsl on Wheels Given by
Mea OF Wealth.
From the NelU York advertiser.
Seldom has more unique or impressive
service been held in any city than that in

LAST week.
The Evangel has been out for many weeks

the coast, ION the picket hnes." as Rev. E.
@. Wheeler SAYS Rev. Wheeler is the
evangelist in charge of the car. His wife
has been with him all the time. She is a
sweet singer and great aid in the mission

steamship owner, and one OF two others
dubbed together and gave the car to the
A merican Baptist Publication Society
whose representative Mr.. Wheeler is. The
car cost $40 900. 1t is a beauty.
1t is 10 feet long and 10 feet wide. Out
side it looks much like any of the best mod
ern cars, resplendent In its dark, polished
finish, and with the words ''Chapel Car
Evangel" on each side. The windows are
fitted with screens. and there is a roominess
about the car that is good to see.
1t is the interior, however, that catches
and holds the attention. II is beautifully
finished in polished oak. On the right hand
side, as you enter from the rear, is long
row of wide seats reaching about four-fifths
the distance down the car. Each one of
these seats will hold three people comfort
ably. o. the left hand side is a parallel
row OF narrow seats, each capable Of hold
ing two people. A narrow aisle runs bs-
tween, down which is a strip OK thick mat
ting. All the seats are oak finished to
match the interior Of the car.
Ahead Of the seats, and facing them, is q
small and neat pulpit, on slightly raised
platform, and Just to the left Of the
preacher, as he faces his audience, is a
beautiful rich toned organ. Ii is also fin
ished Hastily In oak.
There is a row of racks on either side
along the car, suitable for containing hymn
books, Bibles and other necessaries of the
kind for a campaigning trip.
In the rear Of the pulpit is what appears at
first sight to be only the one-fourth or one.
fifth of the car. cut OF from all the rest by
partition 10 the same finishing. On iu-
spection, however, it is found to be fully as
interesting as any other part Of the chapel
on wheels.
1t contains several divisions. One is a
handsome study, with desk and we'll as
sorted library for the pastor. Another is q
neat little kitchen, with pantry ETC., and
near by are a couple Of seats, arranged
after the style exactly OF Pullman double
| berths, and suitable for four persons. A
lavatory adjoins this, so that the Evangel il
in all respects thoroughly equipped.
Mrs. Wheelsr estimates that through tn
| Evangel over 500 persons have been con-
verted, and that 10 churches, 8 Sunday
schools aud mission established. Besides
this over 500 Bibles have been distributed
These are in six languages, being English

Farming in the Adirondacks.

from the NeO IOfh ITtOHHe.
1t would be difficult to praise too highly
the air, the water, the scenery and the for
ests Of the Adirondack mountains, from the
point of view OF the summer visitor; but
when it comes to farms of that region,
viewed from the money-makinR point, IL
would be difficult to say anything more
characteristic Of many Of them than was

The Rose, the Sunf1ower and Apollo.
A Hint to Ccque:tee.
AS the stars faded out with the night q
beautiful Rose raised her proud head, ell
crowned with ghttering dew drops, aud
nodded to the thread Of gold light stretched
across the eastern sky.
"Ahl here cones Apollo" said be. NOW
l will snow these silly flowers at my feet

wondrous beauty will keep him ever near

And so all through the sweet summer
morning the Rose coquetted with the sun
light bending her head beneath her veil of
green leaves so that his glauces could not
rest upon her fAce, and peeping out from a
tsngle Of green foliage and scattering trag-
rant petals like bushes all about her when
the sunbeams strayed her way.
At the other side of the garden wall a tall
sunfiower stood. Her bright. good-natured
face looked up at the sun in idolatrOus
alteration.
"Just look at the Ugly. told thing trying
to win Apollo for HERSELF the Rose said.
''Of course he will leave her side after be-
slowing few smiles upon her yellow
face"
ana then the rose continued her coqueG-
ting with the sunbeams, which were already
beginning to shift around to the other side
Of the wall.
Now the Sunfower had not a though

into her heart By and by as the morn

Rose and bestowed all his attention upon

And long into the afternoon when the Rose

II is for some reasons both interesting and
Instructive TO examine from day TO day and
month b. month the list of bills that are intro
duced in both houses Of Congress. The list Of
tho lower house is, Of course longer than that
Of the upper, as no representative thinks that
he has performed his full duty to bis constt-
uents until he has introduced dozen bills
or more. Owing to tie greater prominence
of the individual members of the - late.
the measures fathered by them seem 10
attract larger amount Of attention, whether
these measures are Of an eccentric character
or are wholly COMMONPLACE.
PETER. tho Kansas Senator mas so far been
much more conspicuous than simpson, the
Kansas Representative. simply because the
bills introduced bv him have been followed
with more interest. for neither as yet have
had an opportunity of addressing the diner-
ent bodies to which they belong. Potter has
won in the course Of the brief period which
covers the session Of the National Legislature
up t. this time the reputation OF intro
ducng the most remarkable measures which
have ever been enrolled on the calendar of
the Senate. aud this, in the light OF the many
extraordinary bills in the past. Is saying
great deal.
We called attention recently 70 the bill IN
troduced boy him providing for census which
would show how many debtors there were in
the United States. which was couched in terms
that were well calculated to defeat its own Oh
iect. His latest achievement in the same line
is bill providing for biennial military reg
lister. and nstruct.ng the Secretary of War 20
prepare list OF all surviving persons who
now are or who have been on who may here
after be employed in the military service of the
United States. giving their addresses. services
and the number of their pen>i certificates -
The biennial military register is 20 be kept on
file at the postoflice Of each county seat within
the limits of the republic.
The bill further directs the Commissioner
of Pensions TO see TO it that the laws, rules
and regulations on the subject of pensions
are administered with wonderful energy and
impartial justice" Judging by the course
which has been pursued by Raum there is
little danger that under a Republican ad-
ministration the pension laws will not be en-
forced with an energy that is only too Won
dersul. but with justice only too partial.
In order 70 carry out the directions of the
bill. that measure provides that in case there
is no surplus money in the Treasury 10 be ex-
pended for this purpose, then It shall be the
duty Of the Secretary of the Treasury Depart
ment TO cause a suthciency of the money Of
tbe United States of America 10 be prepared
and covered into the Treasury" This money
is to be unmarried by the usual battle scene
vignettes. In their place are to be depicted
objects and scenes from nature, and the whole
are to be struck of on silk-threaded paper.
Tho bill reveals that Senator PETER is de-
termined to extend his reputation as the de-
siener Of some Of the most remarkable meas
ures which have ever been introduced in Con-
gress.
