q : a oSNDHN. at public and pri-
vate functions, in the halls of legislation
and the private s%ahctuaries of the execu-
tive departments. He is always on deck.
can always tell you the true inwardnesss of
what is going on, and always knows a heap
more than he will tell.
BY no one is the newspaper It'll held in
higher respect and esteem than by the
statesman, and his tact and worldly wis
dom are greatly in demand in the execu-
tive departments. AS a private secretary
he is a shining success and in this capacity
is influential in molding the policy Of each
administration.
One of the most popular and successful
of the newspaper men connected with the
present regime in Washington is Mr.. H. W.
Van Sender, who stands between Secretary
Carlisle and the army of place hunters who
seek his office in the treasury department.
A trying position is this of buffer between
the secretary and the office seekers, but
Van Sender behaves with such tact and
discretion that four-ffths of the callers go
away disappointed, but not disgruntled.
Although a native of Illinois, Mr.. Van
Sender has for the past four years publish
ed the Paducah Sentinel and is a good
enough Kentuckian to stand very close to
the distinguished Kentucky statesman. He
started his journalistic career at Pratt,
Kan, in 1886, where, in company with j.
N. Bilday, his present partner, he started
the Pratt County Register, a Democratic
newspaper. They sold out and moved to
Paducah in 1888. Before embarking in the
newspaper business Van Sender taught
school in Wichita and in his native state OF
Illinois. He is 80 years old, tall and broad
shouldered, with a clean cut face and kind
ly blue eyes.

IN THE EVENING OF LIFE,
How Jay Cooke, the World Famous FL
%nancier, Is Ending His Days.

How Jay Cooke, the World Famous FL
%nancier, Is Ending His Days.
Jay Cooke, the great inancier, who was
Of war to the United States forces during
the late unpleasantness between the north
and south, is happily passing the evening
of his life at Ogontz, his suburban home
near Philadelphia. He is 70 years of age,
but is a remarkably young patriarch. He
is still straight as the proverbial arrow.
He is in excellent health. Time has made
even more mellow his genial temperament,
and as his bank account has long since re-
covered from the storm of financial disas-
ter that depleted it in the panic of 1878 the
sunset Of life finds him healthy, wealthy
and wise.
Although he owns a 200 acre estate at
Ogontz and a mansion there that cost $780,
600, and although he possesses real estatei in
other cities, railroad property in Texas and
q controlling interest in the st. Louis River
Water Power company, it is safe to say
that he thinks more of his four children
and his 16 grandchildren than he does of all
his goods and chattels. Sixteen grandchil-
dren are a large number to keep track of,
but the old time Napoleon of finance knows
every one of the 16 thoroughly and is never
quite so happy as when he is walking, talk
ing and playing with them.
He has practically retired from active
business, but he passes two hours every
day except Sunday in his Philadelphia Of
fee, and the remainder of his time is passed
at home playing billiards or muggins, read

or of three children-Edward. treasury
agent for the United States Express COM
pany in Washington; Frank, a rising young
lawyer in New York, and Harry, superin-
tendent OF the money order department Of
the United States Express company, of
which his father is president.
The Platts have lived at the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel in New York for IL years and
have an elegant suit of rooms on the fourth
floor. Mr.. Platt is thus enabled to be with
in four floors of the great metropolitan
meeting place for politicians and freely
transact business with his numerous lieu
tenants without having an unpleasant
amount of political business intrude into
his home circle. It is said that he never en-
joys himself more than when surrounded
by the members of his family. Mrs. Platt
is a musician: of ability and shines particu-
larly as an entertaining conversational.
AS Mrs. Platt has been very near the edge
of the political maelstrom for nearly a
quarter Of q century, she is naturally very
we'll posted on the subject, and if women
areunable to keep a secret she is an excep-
ton. She could undoubtedly give the in
side history of schemes that have madeto or
unmade presidents, but no woman knows
better than she does that "silence is gold
en-"
Mrs. Platt's business career has been
short, but successful. Several years age
she bought an orange grove in Florida, and
she has managed it with such shrewdness
that it affords her quite a substantial in,
ome When she is not in Florida, she di
reefs the business of the grove by letter
and she also sells the output in New York
Mrs. Platt's fad is amateur photography
and she has an excellent collection of pic
lures taken by herself.

JOtiN IL. UhAh. IL years OF age De-
came a resident of Burlington. He had no
money and very little education, but he was
as industrious and ambitious as he was
poor and u%neducated. The only opening
before him was a clerkship which paid $50
q year and gave him his board and washing
as we'll.
For about six years there was very little
besides board and clothes in life for Mr..
Gear, but finally he earned an interest in a
Burlington grocery house and establisheda
very successful wholesale business. EARLY
in life he took al interest in politics and in
1868 became the first Republican mayor of
Burlington. He was elected Il member of
the fourteenth general assembly and after
a desperate deadlock in 1873 was chosen
speaker of the legislature. He gave the
state one of the shortest aud most business
like sessions in its history and was again
elected speaker in ISL.
By this time he was IL slllpwd, self edu:
Gated business man, aud his reputation rs
a politician had made him one CT the prnrl-
inent men in Iowa. In 1877 he was nom
mated for governor olthe Republican tick
ct, and although there were four different
party nominations he wns elected, but BY q
minority vote. Two years later he was re-
elected by a plurality Of 72.0o0. Mr.. Gear
gave his approval to q number of prohibi.
tion measures and showed such executive
ability that he won the sobriquet "Old
Business" He has been elected congress-
man thrice and was assistant secretary of
the treasury under President Harrison. Mrs.
Gear is a bright, brainy woman, and her
husband asserts that her superior as a poll.
tician is not to be found in Iowa.

ter of the late Charles Adams Gate and
Jane Russell (Adams) Cate and the grand

1883. In 1870, while living at Honolulu, Mr..

Anna P. Cate. It was, at her, uncle's that
Miss Cate met Sanford Ballard Dole, now

point in front about 10 inches high. The
corsage was in the form of an open basque,
the body and sleeves being of Grape over
the cloth. The vest front was full and of
the eudora cloth, as were the jabot lapels.
There is a new Grape cloth, which is of
heavy bodied stuff, of Australian wool and
mohair, and it is woven or finished to re-
semble Grape closely and is largely used
for ordinary mourning dresses. 1t costs
from 81 to So a yard and is 81 inches wide.
It is also used for sleeves to otherwise plain
mourning attire. |
l said there was nothing new, didn't I?
Well, I forgot the children's new things.
The two or three houses making specialties
of children's gowns and other garments
have much to show that is new and sensi-
BILE, neat and plain, as children's garments
| should be. One gown for a child of 8 to 10
was of striped cheviot, pale blue, with a
darker shade. The skirt had a narrow
! ruf1e cut on the straight and set under a
stitched edge. The waist was formed by a
double stirring, and a bow Of plain blue
ribbon was set on the front. Three ~rosettes
of the same were on the yoke. Every effect
to this little frock was obtained by shirring.
A coat of rough cheviot in mixtures was
cut in q surtout shape and bordered by
gray fur around the bottom and upper
/ sleeves. The lower sleeves were of navy B.
b. velutina, and the ripple collar was of
the same. There was a Tam O'Shanter
cap of the velutina, bordered by fur and Or
r namented with a cairngorm and a little red
velvet and q heron feather. Another very
pretty coat, worn over a green gown, was a
heliotrope diagonal cheviot. It was gath
cred in to the waist by a leather belt and
was trimmed by narrow black soutache
and buttons down the front, covered with
the cheviot. With this was a hat Of black
felt, trimmed with tartan plaid velvet and
q rhinestone buckle. 49,
A coat for a girl of IA was of ha-
vana brown cloth laid in trumpet plaits
from a yoke of emerald green velvet. Be
low the yoke of velvet there was a fall Of
the cloth laid in short trumpet plaits and
neatly tailor stitched around all the edges.
The sleeves were of green velvet, with
jockeys of the cloth cut short at the top,
but extending down to the hand on the
under side. There was a hat to match
this of havana felt, trimmed with armure
ribbon and emerald green wings.
There seems to be a revival of / few of
the clan plaids. Not knowing them by
name, I can only say that they are usually
those with white ground, with the pattern
wrought by narrow lines rather b those
with great squares of solid color. These
are very pleasing and come in fine twills.

over the wrists, but these were postiche.
The back seams were made very full at the
waist line, and beneath there was just
enough Of a pad to raise the skirt grace
fully. That gown will be as much in fashion
next spring as it is now
Another standard style, which is a new
one just now, is a dress of Scotch mixtures,
green and brown being mingled with black
and white in diagonal pattern, so that the
whole surface seems to be one greenish
brown. The skirt is Tapped in front over an
inset of the same, and across the inset are
placed straps and buttons Of the same ma
terial, tailor stitched. The corsage is q coat
basque, with tabs in front, and has a very
effective arrangement of revers and collar
by tabs bound with drab braid. There is a
vest of dark blue cloth, which is the only
point of color aside from the duh material.

While it would be hardly dignified to say
that the house of representatives is the kin
dergarten of the United States senate, there
would be considerable foundation for the
idea in the multitude of eminent senators
who have stepped from the lower into the

gresham to be elected senator is John II.

A GREAT POLITICIANS WIFE.

Mrs. Thomas c. Plat Shines as a Success
full Business Woman.
Every one knows who Thomas G. Platt,
the famous New York politician and ex-
United States senator, is, but few people
have ever heard anything about his wife.
AS a usual thing the helpmeets of great
men come in for a fair share of newspaper
attention, but Mrs. Platt seems to lave re-
manned in the background. She is we'll
worthy of notice, however, and is a woman
Of rare ability and strength of character.
She is tall and of commanding appearance,
and her strong face is crowned with gray
hair. She was Miss Ellen L. Barstow be-

Even in this progressive, intellectual
nineteenth century, Drawn seems better

100000 as an inducement to bring him and
another notorious pugilist together to sat-
isfy public curiosity as to which can pom
mel the other into insensibility the quicker.
If the law does not interfere, the pugilists
meet and the winner carries off a small
fortune as the reward of lis superior brawn.
