A change seems to have come over
the dreams OF Consul General Will
der. According to latest interviews
with that astute gentleman, the fill
bus tering talk which he apparently
formerly encouraged is all rot and
without the slightest foundation.
we wonder if the retirement of the
Lehua from the navy land treasury
to "private life" has ANYTHING to do
with this remarkable change. But
all the same it shows he has good
sense and everybody congratulates
him on it.

ONLY SIX, But A FINANCIER
Gen. Fullerton's g. -Year-0ld Daugh-
ter Knows How to Keep Accounts.
Miss Rathbone WIN Reside In Wash.
tngton This Winter-Senor and
Mime. Romero Back In the City.

General Fullerton has one child, most
interesting little daughter, Mary is her
name, who affords no end of amusement
to her fathers friends, by reason OF her
quaint sayings and bright ways generally.
This little daughter is at present about six
or seven years of age, but has already
discarded the term nurse from her voc5ibu-
larry, and dubbed as her maid the attend
ant who has piloted her through the nursery
days. Accompanied by her maid, Mary
makes some wonderful voyages Of discovery
on the street cars and among the shops.
She is born financier with talent for
keeping accounts that is truly remarkable
in one of her age. She inhcrits a fortune
in her own right, but because of her extreme
youth, is given an allowance, In the
distribution of this she Voluntarily keeps
IN account, including in it, from time to
her father. Thus when her allowance runs
short or she takes notion to draw on her
father, for any amount, she invariably
prepares little account OF the same, which
she pins upon the cushion on his bureau.
Generally these slips of paper read:
General Fullerton owes Mary Fullerton
% cents for car fare"
Not long ago she went to visit some
of her relatives in New York, and was ex-
patiating upon the beauties of Washington
and the Cheapness of living and things gen
orally in this city. Suddenly she con-
vulsed her hearers by gravely remarking:
Diamonds are wonderfully cheap in Wash
ington. Do you know l bought beautiful
ring there in one of the shops
for cents?"
