ABOUT PEOPLE,

1t is said that Mr. J. r. Roosevelt, just ap-
pointed Secretary of the Embassy at Lou
don, realized that Campaign could not be
carried without money, to the extent Of
$4,000 Mr., Roosevelt is still young man,
and Is doubtless inspired with the feeling that
by frugality and thrift he may be able TO afford
$50 600 place quito like Mr. Van Aliens.
Edwin +. Uhl. of Grand Rapids Mich, the
new First Assistant Secretary of State, is one
of the most prominent lawyers of Michigan,
and one of the most able. He was one of the
Delegates-at-L Large to the National Convention,
and presented Allen B. Morse for the Vice
Presidency. He was prominently mentioned
for the Attorney Generalship earlier in the
season, and also in connection with the ap-
pointment as Solicitor General Mr.. Uhl has
twice been elected Mayor of Grand Rapids by
the largest pluralities ever given a candidate
in that city. He has several times declined
nomination for Congress.
The House last week elected new Cha plain
Rev. +. B. Bagby, of this city. Mr. Bagby is
q young looking man of % years, with smooth
face He otficiated recently, and apparently
made good impression upon his hearers. He
scored one point in lis favor with the members
by making the prayer short. The Disciples of
Christ. the denomination with which the new
Chaplain is identified, is especially strong in
the Central States and is growing very rapidly,
having increased III the past 10 years, accord
ing to the census So per cent. 1t will be re-
membered that President Garfield was a men,
Der of this denomination.
J. S. Harrison, of Kansas City, was in the
city last week. He is the Democratic brother
of President Harrison. He is younger than his
more distinguished brother and q little taller,
but he has the family features and as he grows
older looks more like the ex- President. He is
here on private business.
Senator Ransom. of North Carolina, the other
day confirmed the statement that he had been
rendered by the President tho position of
United States Circuit Judge for the Fourth
Judicial District. embracing the States of Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia. North and South
Carolina, made vacant by the death of Judge
Bond; aud that he had declined the honor on
the ground that some younger man should

The many employees and attendants who came
to the United States from foreign countries
with Worlds Fair exhibitors. and with Mid
way Plaisance shows are causing the Treasury
officials much concern as to the proper means
of returning them. at the close of the Fair TO
the countries whence they came" A census
of this class of people (of whom there are 500
Chinese alone) has been taken by Treasury
agents OH the Fair grounds. with q view to
comparing the list with similar list taken of
those who entered this country when the Fair
opened. Many of these people, from one Cause
or another, will not be taken back by those
who brought them over, and thus several thou
sand undesirable immigrants Of all nationali-
ties may be thrown upon tho country to swell
the already large army of the unemployed.
The people who thus get in are not subject to
the usual examinations applied to immigrants
on landing.

ALL KINDS OF NoTE.PAPER.

unladyliko. But to-day gray and blue, in the
palest and guetest of shades, the blue very gray,
have found much favor. They both are modest
appearing, and the ink shows clearly on them.
1t is best to make habit OF always using the
same kind of paper. Let it become identified
with you. Heavy linen, overland mail, and
fine bank-note seem to be tho best as regards
texture. The surface may be either smooth or
unglazed, according to ones own choice. The
ordinary letter size or the smaller note sizes,
and for envelopes either the square ones or the
narrower styles where the paper must be folded
twice, are sll right The narrower envelopes
seem restful for change from the square ones
and require daintier folding to fit them, 30
they are frequently chosen. For decoration
the paper may have only the address at the
top of the sheet in the right-hand corner,
the monogram in small letters in the center
at the head of the sheet, or the initials
engraved in copy of the handwriting. They
are usually done in silver, gilt, or bronze,
sometimes in dark color. Flowers, notices,
or pictures are left to make children's letter
paper more interesting. And one rule: Avoid
authorizations as much as possible; never write
"Sat" for Saturday; it would hardly be sPpro-
pirate for any other day of the week either.
Write out tho day of the week, the name OF
the city, the name of the month. The State
names are always prettier than their abbrevia-
tons. although busy men need the shorter
terms very much.
Slender silver pen-hoIders are decorated with

The patient Chinese, to whom nothing is
new, have long known how to model, glaze
and decorate china most artistically. They have
one method of blowing color through gauze
that produces beautiful effect. OF course
many of their rules and recipes are secret.
Their ideas of perspective have been made fun
of continually, and they have funny rule Of
adding claws to their painted dragons, tigers
and pheasants according to the rank of the
purchaser. For instance, the Emperor has FIVE
clawed dragons on his pottery, while Prince
must content himself with four claws. For
ordinary trade three claws only are allowed.

Letter writing becomes every day more and
more of q fine art. There is frequently COM
plant that in olden times letters were written
more thoughtfuily as we'll as moro legby;
that hastily-worded, badIy-penned epistles we're
unknown. Be that as it may. nowadays the
refinement and courtesy OF the writer are as

but they all founded on quick courtesy,
that is supposed to regulate any other action,
and hardly need repeating. For the actual
msterials-paper and envelopes, the ink and
pen-there is quite variety. Note paper was
not long ago limited in color to white and
creamy white; any other colors were considered

lovely evening cape may be made Of deep
red serge, lined with silk Of the same shade,
and trimmed with strich-feather trimming
and jet. The cape has q short yoke outlined
with the jet The feathers are used to soften
the collar and make il becoming. The pref
test possible fastening for the.cape is an oxid-
izej-slver clasp, but two pretty dark buttons,
over which is looped silkeu cord, is simple
device, and one much prettier than ribbons that
tie in bows In the first place it is less clumsy,
and in the second more convenient. as by SIM
ply lengthening the loops the cloak can be
hung loosely, or by shortening them it can
be fastened up close around the throat.
The new coats are long again. They are
made usually with the coat skirts cut sepa-
rately and put on with more or less fullness,
the joining seam being covered by fancy belt.
Black satin is used frequently to trim these
garments.
Silk and satin gowns are trimmed with mar
row edgings Of fur.
1t is also claimed that cloth Is used to trim

APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT.
The, Silver Repeal Bill Converted into AN
Act of Congress.

Inc Oliver hepeAl converted into An
Act of Congress.
The President signed the repeal bill at ex-
actly half-past o'clock on the afternoon OF
Nov. ]. one hour and 35 minutes after its pass
age. 1t was brought TO the White House by
representative Albert j. Pearson, of Ohio, Chair
man of tue House Committee on Enrolled Bills,
who made the trip from the Capitol on a cable
car. Mr.. Pearson reached the White House
about 4:25 and was Immediately admitted into
the Presidents Office, while the President was
examining the figures Of the revised vote on
the fnai passage of the measure.
When Mr. Pearson presented the enrolled
copy Of the bill to the President, explaining
what 1t was MIR. Cleveland Immediately took
up his pen and wrote these words in the lower
left-hand corner: approved Nov. /, 1893

official record at the White House and the en-
crossed copy of the measure will be sent to the

The Congressional Record is fast becoming q
false record, Notwithstanding the express pur-
pose of its existence being to furnish the public
at the public expense, verbatim reports of the
proceedings of Congress. The practice of with
holding remarks for revision " is undergoing
great abuse nowadays. Instancing this is the
alleged speech that purports to be the speech
of Senator Carey Oct 80 in the Record of that
week, with the replies of Messrs Teller and
Wolcott. 1t is too bad that speeches of such
hly-unpariamentary nature, and withall so
entertaining, should be so blue-penciled as to
be Enthusiastically dull in the Record. There is
never q hint of the way in which Mr.. Carey
rebuked Mr.. Wocott for critcising his attitude
on the Repeal bill by accusing the young Colo
RADIO Senator Of committing his speeches to
memory before delivering them, and changing
his clothing before each speech, and insinuating,
what must have been powerful stretch of the
imagination, that Mr.. Wocott has been in the
habit of sending word to all the doorkeepers
not to send in cards while he has the floor. 1t
will never be told in the Record how the Colo
RADIO Senator came back at Mr.. Carey like the
piston rod of Corliss engine, and after express
ing his pity for man who gets offended at the
sight of clean shirt drew an old and apt
Spanish proverb from the eobwebs of his
memory and, metaphorically speaking. threw
it in the face of the Wyoming Senator Spanish
proverbs are wasted in the United States
Senate, however, and only the newspapers
will preserve the fact that after Mr.. Wocott
had boxed Mr.. Carey's ears for moment he
suddenly dessted with the contemptuous re-
mark that it is waste of lather to shave an
ass"
