she was In position to make her home the
resort of the society Of Washington, and
she succeeded so well that, after Mrs. Cleve-
land, she came to be regarded as the social
leader.
She was eminently fitted for the position
in which fortune placed her. She was de-
scribed as linguist, speaking we'll the
modern languages and able to converse on
variety of subjects OF interest to cult
waited people. Her voice. sweet and sympa-
thetic. assisted the fascination of her
beauty, refined carriage and exquisite taste
in dress.
A correspondent. writing in April, 1892,
saws OF her and her husband:
Mr.. Whltney's city home in Washington
was more admired than any other house at
the capital. The receptions given by Mrs.
Whitney were more elaborate than those of
anybody else, and the house was always
filed with guests. The ballroom In the
Washington house is almost historic. Many
notable courtShips began there. 1t was
in this room that Mrs. James Brown Potter
made herself famous by reciting "Ostler
joe"
a society writer, who was In Washington
during Dir. Whitney's residence there, de-
scribed The size Of this room bysaYing that
two-h0rse wagon-l0ad Of hay could be
turned around in it without touching the
walls. These walls are covered with bro
caded satin and It's furnishings are beauti-
full and unique. 1t has little touches OF
brocaded Venetian velvet, several dainty
sedan chairs and the fireplace is large
enough to roast whole OK.
Mrs. Whitney has always distinguished
herself as hostess. She has inherited
much of the political ability OF Ter father,
Senator Henry b. Payne. She is bright
and witty, handsome and sensible. She Is
one Of the very few women who know how
TO be society women without being snobs,
and who can cnndeseend TO entertain people
on a lower social level without making
them feel that she IS patronizing them.
Mrs. Whitney in the White House would be
a social success. She would combine the
qualities OF Dolly Madison and Harriet
Lane.
The New York home Of the Whitneys al
Fifty-seVenth street and Fifth avenue was
presented to Mrs. Whitney by her brother
Oliver Payne Of the Standard OH Company

did houses in New York. There is little
girl in the Whitney house whose name Is

tary Of the Navy quite as royalty as does
Miss Ruth Cleveland the pOrtly ex- President
of the United States.
Miss Dorothy is now years old, and has
been downstairs more than once during the
progress OF big reception.
Besides Dorothy, Mrs. Whitney had n
daughter of about Il, whom she kept at

of them still lads OF tender years.

WILL HOLD TO EGYPT.
France Is Placated, but England
Will Stay.
Mr.. Gladstone Has Simply Once More
Given the French Minister a
Wrong Impression.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

New York, Feb. 4-Smalley cables to
the Tribune from London: Egypt has sup
piled this week the topic for the Queens
speech, for debate in both houses of Parlia-
ment, for discussion In the French and
English press and for = statement in the
French Chamber by the Foreign Minister.
There are no means Of knowing what value
the Khediye attaches to such pledges, but
in any case word spoken on the banks Of
the Seine may have much more political
significance than a word spoken on the
banks of the Nile. NJ. Devele is a new
hand at the Foreign Office, and his speech
in reply to Delar0sse's some " hat inpetnOus
inveetiye Is uncertain in tone. 1t is, how
ever, all things considered, more reasonable
and more friendly 10 England than any re-
cent official or unofficial declaration touch
ing Egypt. de takes note Of the remark in
the Queens speech that sending more
troops 10 Egypt indicates no modification
OF the assurances which England has from
time 10 time given respecting the occupation
of that country. He takes note of Glad
stones statement in the House on the same
subject. which, in Develie's opinion, goes
farther than the Queens goes.
Gladstone is seldom happy in dealing
with foreign affairs, and on no subject has
he been less happy than ON Egypt. He has
once more encouraged France TO hope that
he will reopen the whole Egyptian question
for her benefit.
There is to be, says NJ. Develle. a fresh
discussion OF the English occupation. Well
may he assure the English Prime Minister
that he viii approa ch that discussion in
friendly spirit. The mere fact of such
discussion would be a sort of triumph for
France
LONDON, Feb. 4--The blue book laid be-
fore Parliament in dealing with the recent
events in Egypt. shows that the Khedive. if
he had succeeded, in defiance OF England. in
changing his Ministers, had intended to dis
miss all of the British officials. The blue
book also shows that Lord Rosebery and
NJ. WaddiDgt0n. the French ambassador,
had several snappish interviews. NJ. Wad-
dington disputed the right Of England TO
fetter the KhediYe, and objected to the high
handed method adopted by Lord Cromer.
Lord R0sebery Eetorted that the high
handedness had been solely on the part Of
the Khediye, and that as long as the Brit
ish occupation continued he, Lord Rose
berry. would not allow the Egyptian admin
istration to be changed from top to bottom
at the mere within of the KhedYe.
CAIRO, Feb. 4-The Khedive left this
morning for Upper Egypt to open the ex-
ten sion Of railway from Assio0t, 22S miles
south Of here TO Girweh, the southern limit
of the railway system. He was attended
by Rias Pasha and other members Of his
Cabinet. Great preparations have been
made for his reception. but. owing TO the
prevailing political unssSiness throughout
the country it is feared these will lead to
disturbances. The khedive expects TO re-
turn on the 10th.
1t is said during his absence a rebellion
is to be started.

The missionary appears in quite new
light in case which mas recently been be-
fore one OF the local courts of the TraDsvaal.

Berlin Missionary Society, was sued by
blind Kaffir named Matsila for money which
had been paid as fines" The cireum-
stances under which these fines were levied
indicate truly patrlarchaI condition of
affairs.
1t appeared that one Of Matsila's daugh-
ters had given birth TO child without the
preliminary formalities of wedlock. Why
Matsila sh0Hld have been punished fer this
offense-unless 1t was supposed to be the
result of blindness-is Dot apparent. But
he was called before the Rev. Mr.. Kahl and
fined Go. He was also fined 81 on account OF
similar misfortune on the part of another
daughter. and fine Of % shilings because
his son had been fighting Altogether,
therefore, the old gentleman's children do
not seem 10 have been much credit TO him.
He failed TO get his money back, because
il was proved that the fines had been levied
by the church, for church purposes, aud in
accordance with the rules of that CON-
munity; hut whether it is desirable that any

powers, venture to doubt. At any rate.

A RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Margaret Kelly Has Her Feet Crushed
by Freightcar.

About Z O'clock last night, as Margaret
Kelly, woman about 40 years of age. was
crossing the railroad track at Fifth and
Townsend streets, she was run over by a
freightcar and dangerously injured, having
ono foot cut off and the other badly
smashed. She was taken to the French
Hospital, where the physicians said that
owing to her age and the nervous shock
sustained she may not recover.
After 6 O'clock In the night no flag
man Is stationed at the railroad cross
ings to inform the people when trains are
approaching, but the same work II distrib-
nting freightcars is continued as in the day.
This was the case last night. There was
freightcar standing alone by the crossing.
and Mrs. Kelly, thinking there was no
danger, ATTEMPTED to cross the track, but
just al that instant switch-engine with a
few cars attached to 1t was backing up TO
couple this car on with the rest.
Mrs. Kelly realized her danger at once,
but she lost her presence Of mind and stood
as II paralyZed on the track until the rear
car struck her and knocked her off, and
when she tell her feet remained ON the
track and the car passed over them. The
engineer OF the locomotive was taken to the
Southern police station. where he was
charged with battery Later he was re-
leased on his own TecngnizaDce on order OF

The Hole In the Cell.

shout for hours at a time. 1t was thought
by the jail officials that the men merely
wanted 70 make IL unpleasant for the new
hands, but they know better now.
The noise the men made was 10 cover up
another noise one of their number was
making while digging through the walls OF
the cell, and they were only too glad to have
their wicket Shnt ND so that no one could
surprise them at work.
AS stated, when the men did so much
growing about having to leave cell a. Fitz-
patrick determined TO examine the cell,
knowing full well that the Jail was so old
and so poorly constructed that 1t only re-
CURED time and patience to break ont OF it.
At the first glance cell AZ appeared all
right, but looking I'D at the ceiling 1t was
discovered that piece oil paper about two
feet square ha6 been pasted on tile wall. and
when this was torn off there was shown n
hole IN the masonry from which a half
dozen or more bricks mad been removed to-
gether with the cement supposed TO hold
them together. The jail-breakers had sue
ceeded in getting through the first course OF
bricks and only had two more courses to
penetrate when they would have reached
the planking of the attic floor.
The first question was as to what tools
the men had used TO do the work, and the
next how did they manage to dispose OF
the bricks and mortar they dug out OF the
walls.
1t didn't take long to find the tools. A
search Of the kits of the four prisoners who
occupied the cells brought to light two iron
teaspoons with the handles worn down
almost to the bowl. 1t was with these that
the mortar was dug from between the
bricks and the latter were loosened.
Then ii was remembered that all four OF
the men had been remarkably DESTROYS of
taking baths during the previous week, and
search OF the bathroom disclosed hidden
under the tub the fragments Of the bricks
missing from the ceiling of the cell After
getting the bricks loose the men had br oxen
them and wrapping the pieces up in theiI
towels or clean undercl0thes had managed
to smuggle the debris into the bathroom.
or course the prisoners deny all knowl-
edge OF the attempted break and Jaiier Fitz-
patrick has no proof against them. He
knows that the jail is worse than unsafe
and has cautioned the guards and Is re-
doubling the vigilance with which prisoners
are watched night aud day. Hereafter no
prisoner will stay In one cell more than
three days and will not get back to the
same cell twice In two months and each day
every cell will be carefully examined.
But for all that IL would not surprise the
Jail officials to have o break any night.

These conditions finally came to be accepted,

had not made the family visit. Ills sharp
eyes noted the morning lassitude Of the
elder girl and the corresponding freshness

conclusions. An inquiry of the mother
secured the knowledge that they not only
slept In the same bed. but, said she, 'Elsie's
Qhe elder devotion to her sister is such that
for years she has nly gone to sleep when
she could hold Mabel close in her arms"
The doctor fairly snorted at this senti-
ment, and in the end persuaded the sisters
to sleep apart. Two pretty brass bedsteads
