INTERESTING LADIES.
Something About Those Who Ac-
companied Judge Caldwell.
ONE 4 GRANDDAUGHTER OF MCCLELLAN

Young Ladies' Try Their Bicycles
on the Paved Btreets-A Talk With
hrs. Caldwell.
A reporter for the JOURNAL met the
distinguished party of ladies with Judge
Caldwell while they were in the city and
had a pleasant chat with them. Some
thing about them will doubtless be in
teresting to the readers of the JOURNAL,
particularly the women readers
Mrs Henry c. Caldwell, the judges
wife, is d pleasant faced lady. She has
clear, kindly brown eyes which were the
chief features of an interesting face
whose resemblance to Mrs. Benjamin
Harrison is striking.
The hair is waved away from the mid
die part above the brow in the same
style, and the general contour of the fea-
lures is the same
Mrs Caldwell wore stylish costume
of black and white; the bodice of black
and white striped satin trimmed in
mouIinet bows of black and white ribbon
and lace over white satin.
The skirt was of black alpaca. In her
ears were diamond ear rings, but she
wore no other ornaments.
Mrs Caldwell has lived so long in the
south that she has acquired the deli
ciously soft southern accent and drops
her ''r's" as though to the manor born,
as does her daughter Miss Cornelia who
was born in Little Rock.
Mrs. Caldwell and the young ladies of
the party suffered considerably from the
heat as they had just come from an ex
tended camping out trip at Wagon
Wheel Gap in the Rocky mountains.
Miss Cornelia Caldwell is still school
girl having attended Miss La Fabres
school at Baltimore last year and will go
to Ogontz at Philadelphia this year.
She is vivacious, jolly girl, an d re-
sembles her distinguished father. She
has blue eyes and light hair, and wore a
striped shirt waist and dark skirt which
came to her shoetops; she also wore BIZ
cycle leggins, being ready to take d short
spin on her wheel Immediately after din
ner.
Around the black band of her white
sailor was wound and fastened piece of
wire fishing tackle with hook attached,
and intertwined with some grasses,
souvenirs of the fishing and camping out
she has SO much enjoyed in Colorado this
summer
Miss Bird Mcclellan, who is the grand
daughter of General George B. McCiel-
Ian, is a beautiful girl with a face like
flower
She is tall, slender and graceful; her
eyes are dark and her dark hair is
abundant and curling. Miss McClellan's
attire was most tasteful and stylish, the
prevailing shirt waist and skirt, and she
too wore the fishing tackle souvenir.
Miss Julia Tyree, who was the other
lady with the party, is Judge Caldwell's
stenographer. She is a medium sized
young woman with a most Interesting
face, and Judge Caldwell finds her pres
ence indispensable when he is on an i'm
portant business trip.
Mrs Caldwell, speaking of her south
ern enunciation, said: 81 suppose 1 have
the southern accent. I've lived there
thirty years, though | was born in Iowa
and married in Indiana. l am the niece
of Judge Wright of Iowa, who was once
United States senator.
"But was never interviewed in my
life, is that what you are doing?" with a
look of half dismay.
The reporter assured her that there
was no intention of making form al in
terview of the visit
81 suppose this extreme weather is a
little unusual, is it not? like Topeka
very much what 1 have seen of it in
driving about; it is a beautiful city
Judge Johnson took US driving in his
carriage, and took US through the Santa
Fe railroad shops, which experience was
particularly novel and interesting to me,
though 1 was reminded by the heat of
the furnaces of Dante's Inferno
Then VIC drove about the beautiful
streets and we were entertained in the
evening at Judge Horizons handsome
home"
The reporter spoke of equal suffrage
in Colorado and Kansas, and asked her
opinion of the question.
She hesltated slightly. said "WeII'
- and then Miss Cornslia rushed up
and said: Mamma, papa's plans have
been changed and We go to Leaven-
worth at $3.50 and we must pack at once -
So the public must remain in the dark
as to where Mrs. Caldwell stands on the
suffrage question.
After the party had taken dinner at
the ThrooP, Miss Caldwell and Miss
McClellans mounted their wheels and
rode apidly up and down Kansas avenue
and adjacent Streets and it was in this
fashion that they went to the depot, they
themselves lifting their wheels on to the
special car.
Within three minutes of the time for
the train to leave some one suddenly dis
covered that there was 10 cook on special
car PIT, the same that Mr.. Frey uses, and
which carried a crowd of Topeka people
to the wedding of Dir. and Mrs. w. J.
Black.
Then there was hurryiug to and fro,
and it was thought the train must be
held, but ten seconds before the time OF
departure. Greer, the colored cook, for
the moment more important parsonage
than even Receiver Wilson or ex- Solici-
tor Peck, appeared running along the
platform toward the rear of the train
and much anxiety was relieved
The young ladies had already lifted
their wheels into the rear of the car.
and the distinguished party left Topeka.
