SECRETARY LAMoNT's FAvoRITE ATTITUDE.
Hoke Smiths most striking attitude nat
urally is on horseback. He holds himself
we'll en- horne. There is nothing snowy
about his riding He sits his mount like a
prosperous, well fed farmer cantering along
to town satisfied with his lot and with
nothing wroag with his liver. He rides Un
an old fashioned saddle with a tree high
front and rtar like n cavalry saddle. The
stirrups are .to. the fashionable small pieces
of steel for the foot to barely rest on, but
comfortable wooden affairs, leather covered
in front ars. resembling mounted police
mans outfit. The secretary does not show
good form, according to the style in the
parks. for biz feet swing outward from his
horse in a rather negligent way.
Hoke Smith works hard and rides for cx-
ercise At h.s Office he changes his attitude
frequently. He pegs steadily away at his
desk until n visitor appears and then
swings around on his chair, throws his leg
over its arm and listens. He has way If
putting himself in sympathy with his call
ers and of leaning slightly forward, as if
anxious to catch every word OF the oft .e-
peated Office seeking tale. When Office
callers flock thick. some are taken to the
window and encouraged to pour forth their
tale standing. All sorts of people seek Sec
retary Smitl, on all sorts of business. for
he has much outside affairs. Occasionally
il looks as II he were initiating Pooh Bah's
antics on the stage. He talks to an office
seeker in the window ard then draws over
a man seek;rg 4. job on his newspaper to
the naantelfiece, where the secretary Of the
interior cant hear him.
Postmastcg General Bissell is too heavy
90 get about much, and when he plants
himself in hts chair behind the great glass
covered desa. On which Brother Wata-
maker had Il complete postal map of the
United Sta'ss framed, he is almost TN
chored, sitting there steadily and only half
rising to give a fat. chubby hand to his
callers. Once in awhile, on some specially
private matter, he conducts his visitor into
the little back room. II is funny to see
the postmaster general attempt to cross
his legs. He is not only heavy, but the leg
above the knee is unusually long, and be
low the knee unusually short. There is .
movement Of tie long arns, a grasp of the
foot and hoist like that Of a derrick, and
the postmaster general has accomplished
an operation most men perfor2 simply By
throwing one leg over the 9th Since.
The marked courtesy and easy personal
grace OF q southern gentleman Of the old
school is observable about Secretary Her
bert as he tilts back in his chair after cor
dial greeting to his caller. The secretary

There's more than one man il it were
possible would like to bring some Of the ),
slot machines before Judge Andrews on the
charge of stealing. There is nothing 90
aggravating to man as to put nickle in a
slot expecting to get tune and find that
the pesky thing is out of order. The crowd
laughs and the victim wants to kick "the
stufiing' out of the machine. After dozen
or two have lost their nickels it gets to be
pretty monotonous and the anathemas hurled
at the owner ought to make his head ache.
The way some of the victims try and dis
sect the machine is highly amusing.

WAsHrxGTox. Jan. 22.-Many li1le oddi-
ties OF manner and attitude are to Be no
ticed in the reception Of visitors by the
president and his cabinet. Each has hislit-
tie personal idiosyncracies.
The presidents attitude at his public re
ceptions is by this time well known. Mr..
Cleveland stands erect with his hands be
hind him, or, when presentations are being
made, the right hand at his side. His atti-
tude is heavy and stolid. The visitor hand
is sQa Qasped, and the executive saves his own
from squeeze and passes the visitor quick
ly along the line, where, il he is fortunate
enough to be at q reception at which Mrs.
Cleveland is assisting, cordial, warm
greeting awaits him that makes him feel
forever the admirer OF the mistress oe the
White House.
1t is at his private meetings with men
that Mr.. Cleveland's sincerity and frank
ness appear best The president has a
f0ndness for talking in the recesses OF the
trait of Mr.. Cleveland in this attitude gives
as fair a conception of his characteristics as
q picture can give. II the executive be
pers or writing, and the visitor is asked to
oT6W uP q NsnoAAs >0A. SACNCA0u0 VIA AAAAA
self wheel about. The frankhess and open
thinks are remarkable. He trusts his au-
ditor.
The presidents confidant and personal
representative. Secretary Lamont, has
fondness for spreading his coat flaps and
standing back to pleasant crate fire. The
warming rays seem as joyful to him as an
oyster and bottle of ale to night round
er. The colonel tugs at his closely cropped
mustache occasionally as he talks, but the
hand always retreats again to spread anew
the coat flap and permit the coal fire to be
felt. Secretary Lamont also likes to en-
sconce himself in big chair or on lounge
heaped with cushions. He throws himself
far back and is as lazily at ease as young
ster curletl up on railway seat. There is
Just faint, faraway expression about
him, but all the time he talks his active
brain is thinking, and the words come out
slowly and cautiously. There is one thing
this clever politician cannot do. That is
shake hands. He is as awkward at ii as
walrus. Colonel Lamont knows it and
avoids attempting. it. When compelled %
extend his hand, it is done with rolling
swing like comic opera sailor hitchinghis
trousers.
A personal friend or newspaper man call
ing on Judge Gresham at night, it is three
chances to five. will find the secretary of sta. e
stretched out ON his back on an old fashion
ed lounge, bis head resting rather low and
his feet thcown across the side rest, fore
ing his trousers up above the shoe tops
not a very dignifed attitude for q minister
of foreign affairs, but comfortable and rest

UNABLE TO JUDGE DISTANCE.

A Failing Among Electric Motormen
Which Frequently Causes Accidents.
The general manager of the Jersey
City and Newark electric street Car
lines thinks that he has discovered
the cause Of many Of the collisions
and other accidents on the roads.
One Of his mutUrmen ran into d
wagon not long ago and demolished
it. The accounts OF the accident
given by his driver of the wagon and
the motorman tailed except as to
the distance between them when the
warning gong was first sounded.
While the motorman was telling his
story the manager noticed something
a little out of the ord nary in the ap-
pearance of his eyes. and he qucs-
toned him about his sight. To
man answered that it WIS good, or,
at least, that he ha not discovered
any defect in it. He was sent to an
oculist for examination, and the lat
ter found that the motornon's judg-
ment OF distances was very poor. Db-
lects appeared to him to be farther
away than they really were. since
then, says the St Louis Republic,
the eyes of all the other motormen
in the two cities have been examined
and their Judgment in regard to dis
tanccs tested. Quite a number OF
them failed to pass the examination,
aud their places on the motors are
now tlled by men with good Wis on
and with at least fair Judgment as to
distances. Near-sighted, far-sighted,
cross eyed, and colorblind applicants
for the position OF motormen will lie
ruled out N future without fu ther
examination. The rule will extend
to other defects of vision. Even
" tn people whose eyesight is good
the estimating of distance correctly
is a dihicult matter. If called upon
to give n mum Der OF feet between the
walls of room, most OF them will
miss it several feet
