to Mr.. Van Allen:

VAN ALIEN DECLINES.
He Tells the President to Take Back
the Plum Which You Gave Me-"

the Plum Which You Gave Me-"
On Sunday some very amusing CORE
spondence was sent out from Washing
ton through the associated press. Itwas
the letters Of ]. j. Van Allen, of Newport
and London, to Secretary Gresham, de-
clinlng the appointment Of ambassador
to Italy, recently offered him by Glove
land, and the letter OF the president
urging him to accept it.
Mr.. Van Aliens 6rst letter is very long
and was evidently written for public
perussl. In it he takes pains to show
the friendly relations between himself
and the president, and to show how the
public has been deluded regarding the
$4,000 contribution. He says:
Among the comments upon my nomi-
nation which appeared in the public
press, one charge only attracted my at.
tsntion, because it was, and / suppose
still is, believed by many persons un-
familiar with the individuals concerned
and the facts essential to the formation
Of an accurate judgment.
"The charge was that 1 received the
appointment in return for q contribution
Of $4,000 to the democratic national
campaign fund. While my nomination
was pending in the senate, it did not
seem fitting and proper for me to offer
more than an explicit denial. was
aware that. as an interested party, my
statement would have little effect be-.
yond the limits Of my personal acquaint-
ance. Now, however, when my actions
can not be fairly attributed to purely
selfish motives, it seems to me that q
repitition Of that denial, which l make
without fear Of contradiction, would be
sufficient for any honorable man. have
never denied and do not now deny, that
l contributed to the campaign fund-not
$4,000, but yet q considerable sum Of
money.
Sincerely believing, as did, that q
continuation Of republican supremacy
would not be only a hindrance to ma
tionsl progress but in time q positive
menace to the success Of popular govern
ment, and having large interests at stake,
was impelled by both patriotic and sell
fish reasons to aid the democratic cause.
$50 far from attaching undue import
ance to it, l was fully aware that the
contribution meant far less to me than
the time and effort devoted by thousands
to the same campaign. Nor did I be-
lieVe that it should entitle me to any
more consideration. On the contrary 1
have not only admitted, but have in
isted at ell times, that it created no
obligation to me whatever, and / feel

Only Rich Officers Need Apply.

II is somewhat hard to find suitable of
fcers of the army and navy to occupy
the places of military and naval attaches
to the United States legations in foreign
countries. To satisfactorily fulfill the
duties of these posts plenty of money is
an essential requisite. A man attached
in such capacity to the embassy at
Paris or at London needs private for
tune to keep up with the social require
ments of the situation. He must move
in the most richly gilded swim and must
meet all sorts of unusual expenses. 1t is
expected of him that he shall live like a
gentleman of rank and wealth, because
the attaches at the legations of other ma
tons are rich and noble.
A clear understanding of these facts
would lessen the number Of applications
for these places which are sent in by
young officers to the departments of war
and navy at Washington. They desire
the appointments for the sake Of the
agreeableness of the duties and the So
cial prestige belonging to them, not real

The promise to obey ought no longer
to be either asked or given. Men as well
as women are learning to regard it as n
relic of barbarism. One young man Of
my acquaintance acted as "best man" to
a friend who was married by the Epis.
cOpal service. He was scandaliZed by
the brides promise to obey and wrote
to his own sweetheart letter Of in
dignation and dismay. He SAID he
hoped it was not customary with other
denominations to use similar form,
for he should dislike exceedingly to have
her promise to obey him. She answered
that he need give himself no uneasi-
ness; she had not the smallest intention
of promising anything of the sort. They
have been married 10 years and are i
very happy couple.
Methodist ministers are now forbidden
to exact the promise to obey, and it Is
fast going out of use in all denomina-
tons that are not tied to a fixed ritual
