WASHINGTON, July %. 1894 Something
out of the usual line occurred at the Execu-
tive Mansion this morning which may have
an important bearing upon the expected
proceedings in the Senate today. Represen-
tative Sayers of Texas was with the Presi-
dent, when. at ten o'clock, Senator German
was announced. Mr.. Sayers closed his inter
view in hurry and departed. The Mary
land Senator was shown Immediately to the
Presidents room and the door was closed.
At 10:45 the President and Senator Cor
man are still closeted.
A visit of Senator German to the White
House is sure to excite attention at any time
from its rarity, but today's visit was evi-
IDENTIFY pre-arranged, as the coast was kept
entirely clear and no one was permitted to
interrupt the conference.

FASHION IN FOuR-IN-HANDs.

NOW, # you will go with me to our an-
mex warehouse I'll show you a handsome
drag we have just built for another young
woman who wishes to drive four-in-hand.
You and have not fingers enough between
us to count the women right, here in New
York who manage four horses as neatly as
man, and could keep six in hand at pinch.
We build these heavy traps for four horses
exactly alike for men and women, only we
don't paint them quite SO fancifully. No
woman wants a drag with > yellow body or
the amount of red men wish.
ssBlack bodies, with delicate yellow, scar
let or apple green line trimmings on the
wheels are what the women prefer Their
taste in these matters is always conserva-
tive and good ~ Baltimore Neios.
