legation has about hundred rooms in it,
and is sustained on a magnificent scale.
In less than one year this section Of the
city has been reclaimed from a compare
tive wilderness and is now rapidly be-
coming the center of the fashionable den
liens of the capital. Mrs John A Logan
has built opposite the legation and next
to her home is that of Justice Harlan.
which when erected, was supposed to
have been in the country. Whatever the
Chinese may be in other cities here they
are a very fashionable lot and the most
successful hostess is the one who can Sc
cure the greater number of these highly
bedecked orientHls for her dinners and
receptions.
From a theatrical point of view Wash
ington has been making history for the
past fortnight. The capital is not only a
place where people use a golden crow bar
to break into society, but it is the center
for initial performances of the theatrical
world. The eyes of the world. both
American and foreign, have been fixed for
the past week on the first English produc-
ton of Nine. Sans Gene, for a success or
failure meant much to her managers on
both sides of the water but like the re-
publican managers " the late cam
paign, they can now sleep easily and
refuse to carp. Nine. Sans Gene was
signal triumph. 1t has produced what
many regard as a rival to Bernhard.
The title role was assumed by Nine. Re
jane.
Under the direction of the great play
wright, Sardou. Miss Katherine Kidder
wealthy woman, but heretofore unknown
as a conspicuous character on the stage,
paid $4,000 for the right to produce it in
this country. The play seems to answer to
the cry of the public for more about Ma
poleon. As a general rule it handicaps
drama to have among its characters
such an historical figure as Bonaparte,
and under ordinary playwright VT
might have proved a failure. For the
first time the public is presented to Bona
parte amid his domestic surroundings,
rowing with his sisters, and indignant
with Nine. Sans Gene, a former
washwOman, but who has become the
Duchess Of Dantzgig, for bringing con-
tumely upon his court by her language of
the fish market. The first act or prelude
presents Capt Kidder as a laundry wo-
man at the beginning of the revolution.
Her makeup from first to last is that of
Trilby, tall, blonde, graceful, impulsive,
and just u trife tough. She too was a bon
comrade; she too was loving, generous
and wise. Sardou takes Napoleon through
the evolution of q delightful drama with
out sacrificing an iota of his dignity or
the smallest fragment of our interest and
reverence. Instead of a tragedy, his play
is high comedy. Miss Kidders success, as
her social position has never been sacri-
feed, and in Louisville, Nashville, At
lanta and New Orleans she has been a
conspicuous figure in social life. Just one
word as to the denouement. When ordered
by Napoleon to become divorced from the
Duke of Dantzig and retire in seclu-
sion as a pensioner, she triumphs over
him by presenting him a bill which he
owed her as his washerwoman when he
was but a sergeant. The intrigues and
jealousies give life and zest to the play.

WOMEN IN THE PULPITs.
W. o. T. U. Delegates Talk Temperance
in Cleveland Churches.

Cleveland, o., Nov. 1S-From nearly
every pulpit in this city to-day the voice of
an earnest woman was raised in the cause
of temperance. The local ministers, almost
without exception, allowed their pulpits
to be occupied by delegates and visitors
to the convention of the Womans Chris
tan Temperance Union. The congrega-
tons were large.
In the afternoon, at Music Hall, an
evangelistic meeting was conducted by
Miss +. w. Greenwood, evangelistic SUI
perintendent of the national Womans
Christian Temperance Union. The annual
sermon was delivered by Rev. j. W.
Bashford, president of Wesleyan Univer-
sity, Delaware o. Fully 5000 persons at
! tended the services.
Immediately following the evangelistc
meeting a gospel suffrage meeting was
held. 1t was one of the most notable gath
erings of the convention Rev. Anna Shaw
of Boston, who preached in Unity church
this morning, presided. The center of
attraction was Susan 3. Anthony, pres
ident of the National Woman's Suffrage
Association. Miss Anthony is rs years
old, and for nearly fifty years has led the
movement for the acknowledgment of the
women of America. When Miss Anthony
was introduced the immense audience
rose to their feet and greeted her with
long continued applause and waving hand
kerchiefs. She predicted the overthrow of
the monster intemperance, when the bal
lot is put in the hands of the mothers,
wives and daughters of the land. The
speaker predicted that universal suffrage
was bound to come, and pointed with pride
to the action of the last Ohio Legislature
in giving to women the right to vote on
educational matters. Referring to the re-
cent defeat of the womans suffrage move
ment in New York and Kansas, Miss
Anthony said that while the cause had
been lost in both states, 1t meant simply
more work on the same line Rev. Joseph
Cook of Boston spoke briefly, advocating
universal suffrage, compulsory voting
and an educational qualification.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE.
A Strong Resolution Relating to the

A Strong Resolution Relating to the
Matter.
Mcintosh, Ga, Nov. 1S.-The Savannah
presbytery has elected Elder r. Haber-
sham Clay of Bryan county as moderator,
Elder A. z. Dimmock of Darien as tenn
porary clerk, and Elder Charles p. Han
sell Of brownsville as reading clerk The
session has gotten down to business.
The presbytery takes very decided
stand on Sunday observance. In re-
port it says: I'VE find sad inroads made
upon the fourth commandment; that with
the Sabbath excursions by sea and land;
the open livery stables and post Offices
the running of cabs and street cars; the
curse of intemperance and its twin evil,
card playing; the posting of books by
merchants too often; the writing of let
ters: the visiting Of friends; the worldly
emplovments conversations. recreations
and Ievity. the record to us seems dark
enough. Others forsooth would tell us
that the Sabbath, and, indeed, the whole
decalouge was for the Jews alone and
not for christendom forgetting its per-
petual binding obligations on all men.

OBSTINATE INVALIps.
Royalty Declares Its Right to Die, But
Protests Against Illness.
Lrrc-. 1


"A king has the right to die but not
the right to be ill.," said Louis XVIII to
to his doctors, forbidding them at the
same time to publish the truth about his
condition. Alexander I perhaps in imi-
tation of the Bourbon whom he had
helped to his throne. acted upon the same
principle, though he did not embody it
in paradoXical epigram. For more than
forty-eight hours-namely, during Nov.
y and 10, 1825-he obstinately refused to
be bled, notwithstanding the urgent per-
suasion to that effect of his own physi-
clan, James Wellye, and of Stopingen,
the medical attendant of the empress
On Nov a. toward evening, Wellye
hnding all persuasion useless, plainly
told the car, that having refused the
aid of science till it was to late, he had
no resource left but the aid of religion.
And have an idea that that will prove a
broken reed to you" said the blunt ply
stefan, worthy predecessor of Zacharin;
Il am afraid that religion will be of little
use to the man whose obstinacy in re-
fusing all medical aid is tantamount to
suicide" Thirty hours later the eldest
son of Paul l had breathed his last
Practically he was the second emperor
who died peacefully in his bed since the
demise of Peter the Great; for, though
the thing has often been contradicted
there is a strong suspicion that Nicholas
l made away with himself.
If all one hears be true, 1t would ap-
pear that Alexander III is quite as OBJ
stinate as his granduncle in his refusal
to submit to his physicians guidance
This obstinacy, l am given to understand
does not spring, as was the case with
Alexander l, from WEAKNESS of life, but
from an intense consciousness of his
weighty responsibilities. the czarewitch be-
ing, after all, a very young man. No
one can help admiring such a lofty STAN
dard of duty; unfortunately, the lofty
standard may defeat it's own purpose, by
accelerating "A crisis, which, with ordinary
care, might be aVerted for several years
Three quarters of a century have passed
since the French king coined his epigram

BANKER oLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street

New York, Nov. T.-Although the i'm
realization of profits made in anticipa-
ton of the event itself, it's ultimate effect
will be to strengthen confidence both at
home and abroad Nobody contradicts the
fact that the necessity of the loan is a
misfortune; but the determination of the
government to protect national credit by
the best possible expedient, until the deep
er causes for dstrust of our currency
system can be remedied, is the strongest
sort of argument for confidence. Mr.
Cleveland has been lavish enough in prom
ises to this end; yet his action in the
matter has not been prompt enough to
meet the preferences of the banking COM
munity. Europe, however, can now rest
assured that our currency will be MAIN
tanned upon gold basis, and this will do
much toward overcoming the prejudice
of foreign holders, who have very natur-
ally feared that interest and principal of
our securities might some day become
payable only in debased money. AS for
business interests, sufficient time has not
yet elapsed to actually feel the results of
the late election. Everybody now be-
lieves that silverism, populism and tariff
agitation are questions of the past; or al
least that the country is assured of a rest
from such disturbances for some time
to come. Industry will thus receive en-
couragement toward renewed eXertiOn;
and while from the nature of the case
recovery must be slow, it will be certain
and vastly more substantial than could
have been possible except for the popular
verdict of Nov. 6. One of the most salts
factory features of the times is the uni
versal aversion displayed to any revival
in the shape of a boom
