A CURIOUS STORY OF REV. DIR.
SMITH.

SMITH.
The Rev. DR.. Wilton Merle Smith, who
gained prominence which he did not
covet by reason of the attack made upon
him by President Cleveland's Washing
ton pastor, DR.. Sunderland. and also by
reason of his defense of DR.. Briggs in
his own pulpit, is about to take a vaca-
ton which is of romantic interest. DR..
Smith, who is the Clevelands' New York
pastor and one of the Presidents init
mates, is brother of Judge Smith of
one of the interior courts of this State,
who is perhaps as intimate friend as
David B. Hill has in New York. Judge
Smith has sailed for Europe; DR., Smith
follows him this week. There, in one of
the most beautiful of English churches,
Judge Smith is to be married to a most
charming woman, and Dr. Smith is to
assist the English clergyman in preform-
ing the ceremony. Judge Smith looks
upon Senator Hill as the ablest, as well
as the most generous of politicians in
this State. DR.. Smith esteems Grover
Cleveland in many respects the most
perfect specimen of American civilza-
ton. But this radical difference of esti-
mate respecting men perhaps enables the
two brothers all the more easily to agree
that the romance which calls them both
to England this summer is more exquis-
tie than the most charming tale than any
writer of fiction has yet told.

Fishermen In the Cabinet.


Mr.. Cleveland has, it appears, gathered
into his cabinet an unusual number Of
fishermen. The fondness Of the pres'-
dent for angling Is well known. Last
summer he wore his old clothes and
6shed In Buzzard's bay without much
attention to the campaign. Mr.. Herbert
Is said to be u fisherman Of great skill
and infinite patience. Judge Gresham,
too. knows how TO bait Q hook. II Is said
that he has not been above fishing for
perch of the piers about Chicago. Mr..
Lamont knows howto fish. because Mr..
Cleveland has taught him. MI. Morton
has not lived In . good fish country, and
It may be that he has only fshed for
canned salmon In Nebraska groceries.
Mr.. Bisseli probably knows q few
things about this idyllic diversion. but II
he and Mr.. Olney are ignorant Of the
game they a be taught. Potomac shad
fishing Is q good primary branch of the
sport, and q planked shad Is o real lux
ury. Il Is not safe to make q guess
about Mr.. Smith. but from his pictures
we suspect that he will be able to con-
tribute some valuable fish information
TO the cabinet circle OF anglers.7-Indian-

A cool spring has greatly interfered

Shoppers are not inclined to buy freely
Of cottons and summer silks when many
are still wearing furs and heavy flannels.
The weather Is q great factor In selling
goods. as all dealers know, but the effect
Il felt more among retailers than Job
bers and wholesalers. The two latter
classes sold freely In anticipation Of the
season, but the retailers have not got
rid of much that they then bought. ow-
ing to the dilatoriness Of spring. i,
The business through March and April
was not up to expectations. But Just,
about so much must besold anyway. and
the bulk was simply shifted to May and
June. Each shopper buys. more or less,
- she needs the goods. and the need Of
summer garments or many for spring
has not been felt yet. But warm days
must come. and with their coming stocks
will move that may now seem stationary.
