Sickness is not a fatality.

II always feel ashamed to be sick, "

Think of it that way if you want to

remedy, Paine's celery compound, the
remedy that makes people well, with
in the reach of every sufferer, there is
no excuse for moping around with a
long face, casting a shadow over the

Paine's celery compound cures
speedily and thoroughly diseases di-

Washington. Aug. 1S.-No one appre-
oiates the power of the social element in
politics so much as the wives of nominees
for Office. 1t is idle to say that women
have no part in the government when all
the time this power behind the throne is
at work upon the very vltals of the ma
tion
Many a man has been sent to the legis-
lature because his wife is a good cook, and
there are whispers 10 the effect that
Grover Cleveland would never have been
reelected had not his wife won so many
friends by reason of the charming social
qualities which she displayed during his
first term.
Be that as it may, Washington society
would not be what it is without Mrs
Cleveland and the ladies of the ca binet.
In no city of the United States other
than Washington could nine ladies be Sc
lected from any social circle who would
represent so many sections Of the country.
North, south, east and west. have each
place. The group is a fair type of Wash
tngton's official society. Not one of its
members is Washingtouian.
The Empire state is particularly well
represented. Mrs Cleveland, Mrs La
mont and Mrs Bissell are all New York
ers. In point of numbers, however, the
south might be supposed to hold the
balance of power" were it not that the
poise OF the group is so equable that there
is no suggestion of power. Mrs. Gresham
is a native Kentuckian, although the old
Kentucky home IS but a memory of child
hood, as her parents removed to Indiana
in her early youth, and western associa-
tiOns have rather gained the ascendency
over southern nativity in the formation
Of her character. Mrs. Carlisle still calls
Kentucky home, notwithstanding her
long residence in Washington. Mrs Hoke
Smith is Georgian of the Georgians, and
Miss Herbert is proudly claimed by Ala
bama. The east and west have typical
representatives in Mrs. Olney of Massa-
chusetts and Miss Morton of Nebraska.
Although they are the acknowledged
leaders of Washington's official society,
they are by no means giddy social butter
flies. 1t is not an unusual circumstance,
even in the hight of the social season, TO
encounter the cabinet ladies at market
and they go with provident purpose and
not merely for fun" The truth is that
they have very little time for fun with
out purpose. They are in fact, a circle
of "homely women" in the good old-fash-
Toned sense of the phrase. Their social
duties are performed with a grace that
indicates pleasure in the performance,

but IL is very evident to those that have
privileged intimacy that Mrs. Cleve-
land and her social assistants find their
greatest pleasure in their own homes.
That they are ladies who delight to do
each other honor is apparent from the
round of strictly cabinet dinners and
luncheoHs in which they have INDUCED
during the past season. The movement
was inaugurated by the regulation din
ner which it has been customary for the
President to tend to his cabinet ministers
and their wives since the early days Of
the republic Each minister and his
wife reciprocated with a dinner in honor
of the President and Mrs. Cleveland: the
other members Of the cabinet, with their
respective wives and the guests OF
their households being the only ones
bidden,to these feasts Early in the sea
son Mrs. Cleveland gave luncheon to
the cabinet ladies, which was succeeded
by series of luncheons rendered by
each OF the others in town. At all Of
the white house receptions and at most of
the state banquets, the cabinet ladies
are in attendance to assist Mrs. Cleve-
land.
The social functions commence with
the public reception at the white house
on New Years day, which is attended by
whoever Is so minded, provided always
that such persons are Of decorous de-
meanor. The number availing themselves
OF the privilege swells TO thousands. 1t

were somewhat difficult to seat, but
after all of the children had been put IN

wherever its froCks would show best, or

We were informed that we would be

within the limits of the fashionable quar-

much more pretentious establishments in
Washington than the homes Of these rep

are none IN which the indications of good

The white house is far from an ideal

a HORSE THIEF IN PETTIooATs.
After Many Escapes "Tom Kings IL
Captured in Kansas.
From the Philadelphia Record

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 8-After many
Jail breakings, Mrs Flora Mundis, alias
tom King" the notorious female horse
thief has been captured at Fredonia,
Kan. There are a score of charges against
her, and Gov. Lowe has issued requisitiou
papers on Gov. Lewelling of Kansas.
Tom King is handsome young lady
of about % years, with a voice like the
dove and an eye that knows no deceit.
She is quarter blood Cherokee Indian,
and many relatives live near Springfield,
Mo. Her operations in the territory have
been extensive and her captures frequent,
but she has never been brought to trial
About a year and a half ago she was
arrested for completely in the Wharton
train robberies, after being held in the
Guthrie jail some time, unaccountably
escaped. A while later she was held in
the Oklahoma City jail and thence es-
capped. For three months of last year she
was in the new Jail of Canadian county,
and her trial was to have taken place IN
the district court in December.
few nights before the day fixed for
trial, however, she walked out the door
of the Jail dressed in her ordinary female
clothing. Outside of the door the skirts
disappeared and good-looking man, ap-
parently, bestrode convenient horse and
rode safely out of town. The deputy
sheriff disappeared at the same time and
Is believed to have helped her to escape.

From the Chicago Herald.
The signing of the declaration of indie
pendence was solemn act. The signers
were subjects of King George, and their
act was treason. If the king could have
caught them he would have hanged them
every one and this they knew; but, &C.
cordlng to the traditions that have come
down to US, this knowledge did not deter
certain of them from relieving the
solemnity of the occasion with the nat
ural flow of their wit and humor. The
remarks attributed to them are not ex-
actly authenticated by history, but thew
are too good to be believed. 1t is said
that when John Hancock affixed his bold
autograph he remarked: The English
men will have no difficulty in reading
that" that when Franklin signed, he
said, Now, we must all hang together or
we will hang separately" and that
Charles Carroll of Carrollton, when asked
why he wrote his place of residence, re-
piled that there was another Charles
Carroll and he didn't want them to hang
the wrong man
The most enthusiastic advocate of the
great measure and the one who led the
debate in its support was John Adams of
Massachusetts,, and when the declaration
was adopted he wrote to his wife in these
prophetic words: This will be the most
memorable epoch in the history of
Americas celebrated by descending gen
creations as the great anniversary festival,
commemorated as the day of deliverance
by solemn acts of devotion to God
Almighty solemnized with pomps, shows,
games. sports, guns, bells, bonires and IL
Nominations from one end of the continent
to the other, from this time forward,
forever"
OF all eloquent words uttered regard
ing the declaration of Independence by
the orators of the generations which
have succeeded its inception no more im-
pressive sentence was ever spoken than
one pronounced by Ralph Waldo Emer-
son In an idress delivered in Boston
during the civil war. Referring to a con-
temptuous Characterization of the declara-
ton by certain political speaker he
said: We have been told that the decla-
ration of independence is a glitterin9
generality; it is an eternal ubiquity.n
Among Americas later statesmen no
one entertained a more exalted regard
for the declaration, or more persistently
emphasized its important relation to leg
islation, than Charles Sumner. He al
ways held that the constitution should
be interpreted in the spirit of the declar.
alton. He said THE declaration of in
dependence has a supremacy grander
than that of the constitution, more sacred
and inviolable, for it gives the law to the
constitution. Every word in the consti-
tuition is subordinate to the declaration.
The declaration precedes the constitu-
ton time and it is more elevated in char
acter. The constitution is an earthly
BODY, If you please; the declaration Of
independence is the very soul itself"
