AN error, grave and deplorable,
has been committed. A wife with a
troublesome tooth sought a Chicago
dentist. The man of pincers, fol-
lowing = practice well founded in
medical dentistry, killed the nerve
under the tooth, not, however, with
out severe pain to the wife who re-
ported the matter to her husband.
The chIvalric nature of the husband
was fired and straightway he sought
out the dentist and administered to
him sound thrashing. The error
lies in the dentist not killing the

Old Time FriendshiDs.

Even presidents feel the need of having
near and comfortable friends. General
Hayes had for his intimates while in the
White House Secretary Sherman, William
Mckinley and General Henry c. Corbin,
now the assistant adjutant general of the
army. Hayes was always fond of McKin-
ley, and not a little of that gentleman's
rapid rise in the political world has been at
tributed to the help which President Hayes
gave him. General Arthur's chum was Sen
ator Jones of Nevada. 1t was to Jones
house on Capitol hill that Arthur came
when he arrived in Washington to be pres
ident. He and the genial Nevada man were
inseparable companions. They dined, drove
and sat up nights together.
President Garfield's nearest friend was
none other than James q. Blaine, an exam
pie which President Cleveland is following
in making his secretary of state his favor
ite cabinet officer. Cleveland and Gresh-
am are like boys together Their relations
are of the most easy going, informal sort
1t is currently reported that they are even
chummy enough to swear ut one another at
times, and certainly they have had enough
to swear about during the last few months
Gresham and Carlisle are also cronies, and
the two of them fit in pretty well together
with the president, but Gresham is obvi-
ously the favorite at the White House
When the new cabinet came into office,
people generally expected Cleveland and
Bissell and Cleveland and Lamont would
be the cronies. but for some reason or other
that expectation has been disappointed
While it is still true that Dan Lamont is a
man on whose keen judgment the president
pretty heavily leans, and that Lamont can
come nearer handling the old man." as we
often put it in Washington, with our local
irreverence for greatness born out of long
familiarity, Dan and Grover are far from
being the chums they were in the old days.
Gresbam's Attractive Personality.
Secretary Gresham, just now generally
regarded throughout the country as the
member of the cabinet IN the most unenvi-
able position on account of the Hawaii fias-
co, has the rare quality of making friends
Of nearly all the men with whom he comes
in contact. Even the men who most bit
terly oppose his international ideas or who
most bitterly denounced him for swapping
parties in the middle of the stream are
forced to confess that as man they have
nothing but affection for him. He is one of
the men who appear TO cast sort of spell
about those who rub up against them.
Blaine had this quality to a marked degree,
though in n little different way.
Blaine magnetized, hypnotized more men

had in this country since the days Of An

Personal friendships play an important
part in the careers of public men. Il stands
AN ambitious man well in hand TO make
and hold all the friends he can, for he does

which a genuine friendship or the lack OF

when he married Mrs. Hannah Kimball of
Springfield, Ills. 1t has proved a happy
match, despite the sneering of the busy

woman, but full of life and energy and an
invaluable assistant to him in all his work
She accompanies him nearly everywhere
he goes. Almost any day she may be seen
at the capitol lunching with her husband
or helping him with his work in his com
mittee room. She says she has to go along
to take care of the old senator, but he
laughingly retorts that she has not as yet
become accustomed to life in big city and
dare not trust herself out of his sight amid
so many temptations in such a wicked city

the altar was tastefully decorated,
a background of handsome palm

Most conspicuous amid the profu-

one of delicate ki flowers, the other
pink lilies and ferns, in which Mrs.

shown to advantage. The sitting
room was artistically decorated in
every conceivable shade of yellow,
making a striking contrast to other
rooms which there is not space to
describe. After a delicious supper,
and toward the close of the recep-
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander left
for their pretty new home, which
was adorned with both costly and
handsome gifts, bearing with them
the best wishes of many sincere
friends for happy future.
One and all pronounced the re-
ception the most enjoyable and in

a collection for missions was taken

much larger and more wealthy

CATION has recently paid of its
long-standing debts, and subscribed
some five hundred dollars for intro
ducing the electric lights into the
church. 1t should be added that
the funds raised at the concert
given by the Misses Albu assisted
greatly in clearing off the debt,
and that they will long be held in
sweet memory for their Christian
sympathy and benevolence by the
native Hawaiians.

such an extent that he attacked
the man, striking him two hard
blows in the face and then savagely
kicking him in a vital part. The
man was taken to Queens Hos
pital, where his injuries were at
tended to.
