by sight. In fact there is nothing re-
markable about this, for the wife OF
the new postmaster general has OF late
years lived both summer and winter
at the family home at Charlestown, w.
Va. To be sure, this is only a two
hours ride from the capital. but that
has been sufficient to keep Mrs. Wilson
from any but the rarest appearances
in Washington society.
Aside from her naturally domestic
tastes Mrs. wilson's delicate health and
the youth of her children have con-
spired to keep her away from the capi-
tai even while congress was in session.
So distasteful has she found the gay
life there that she never goes to Wash
ington for more than a week, or, at the
outside, a month at a time. When
there she remains at the house of rel
atives or with her father, and can
rarely be lured out to more than a re-
ception, and even that she attends only
to crafty her husband.
So little known is she that when she
appeared at an afternoon reception
given by Mrs. Tarsney, of Missouri.
wife of Mr. Wilson's close assistant on
the ways and means committee, good
democratic women hurried to get
glimpse of her to see what the tariff
bill makers wife looked like. They
found slender woman of medium
height dressed in black, and wearing
her dark hair waved about the tenn
pies. She has very bright dark eyes,
cordial smile, is quietly self-pos-
sessed, and not only is blessed with
sense of the humorous, but among
her friends can give expression to it.
Mrs. Wilson is a daughter of Prof.

versity. While her children, of whom
there are four, were young, Mrs. VIII

town in looking after their education
herself. One of the sons is well-known
IN every congressman, as he has been
with his father at the capital. The eld-
er daughter viii is II years old. is

and Betty. the youngest, aged IA, is
with her mother.
At the Charlestown home Mrs. Will

tastes She reads a great deal. looks
after the poor in the neighborhOod,
and is a devout churchwoman Mr..
Wilson is able to reach his family with
a short railroad ride, and finds complete

enough Of it outside"
Late in the spring, a year ago Mrs.
Wilson went to the capital to care for
her husbanss health, and until he
could leave Washington Mrs. Wilson
endured grt I anxiety watching her
husband almost thriving his life away
over the tariff bill. They spent part Of
the summer in Mexico, where Mrs. Viii
son nursed her husband back to health.
When he sailed for Europe She re-
turned to the country home. She has
been in Washington the past wiLter

for several seasons remained in seclu-
sion. She would have been very glad

soon after the battle of Bull Run in
visiting the regiments which were being
reorganized in their camp about Wash
ington. lie wore a high silk hat, black
clothes and black gloves and was ac-
companied by Secretary Stewart, who
wore a pepper and salt colored morning
suit, with a broad brimmed felt hat.
One of the regiments which he visited
was composed OF Germans, dirty, soiled
and nudstained. When they were
drawn up in line Of battle at open
order, Mr. Lincoln took off his hat and
gloves, put the gloves in the hat, put
the hat on the ground, and started
down the line, giving his right hand to
the men on his left, and his left hand
10 the men on his right. and passing
along. shaking hand over hand, each
one heartily and saying: Thank you,
God bless your' to each. When he
reached the end of the front rank, he
returned along the rear rank. shaking
hands hand over hand. in the same
way, and devoutly thanking each pri-
vate. The solemnity Of his manner and
the sadness of his eyes produced a
marked effect on the honest Teutons,
who evidently felt. each man of them,
that they had received the thanks Of
the nation.

men were threatened by the frequent fall.

oil. They had several runs for their lives,

were equipped with automatic sprinklers,

building had been landed safcly on the
ground. Five trips of the elevator TO the

down In safety. Other means Of escape
was cut of by fire and smoke.
