1t is generally believed at Canton
that Mrs. McKinley's substitute in the
White House. where substitute shall
be necessary, will be Miss Mary Bar
Der, Mrs. McKinley's niece, and the eld.
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ c.
Barber, who reside also in Canton
Miss Barber is beautiful and graceful
girl of twenty-four years, and has beer
almost a daughter to the Major and
Mrs. Mckinley. She is a great socia
faYorite at Canton, and has youth
health, great social tact, and a fine ed
uoa'ion to qualify her to assist her dis
tinguished relatives. She is a grea
fayorite with the President-elect, who
has every confidence in her ability tc
fl and adorn any social position. Ar
Interesting fact is. that Miss Barber is
the same age as would have been Mr.
and Mrs McIlinley's eldest daughter

fda, had she lived to the present time
Miss Barber has two sisters, most
charming girls, who are likely to be
seen at the White House before the
new administration is old.
Another OF the Mckinley branch is
Miss Mabel Mckinley, daughter of Alb.
ner Mckinley, the Majors brother. She
is barely eighteen, has much musical
ability and is very attractive girl. A
sister Of Mrs. Mckinley. Mrs. Duncan,
of Cleveland. Ohio, has a charming
daughter OF eighteen, who is likely tc
be among the bright young women OF
the White House ere long. There are
other lady relatives and near friends
who are likely to be numbered at times
in the White House family. So it is
easily to be noted that the Mckinley
regime will not lack for all the influ-
ence which can come from the most
charming feminine surroundings.
What is Uncle Sam up to? Is it peace
or war? There is no use of denying
that there is something rather ominous
in the hurried war preparations that
seem TO be going on at every navy yard
and at all of our exposed seacoast
cities. 1t is not all newspaper talk, fol
there Is a subdued excitement in army
and navy circles which leads one to
believe that serious crisis may at any

from the Cuban situation or q reviva'

Tours to California.

California has been most fittingl,
termed the i" Italy of America" Al
the delicious balm, the cloudless sky
and the rich verdure of the great
European peninsula are duplicated in
this sunny land of the Pacific. Here
nature basks in the sunshine of her
own beauty and here she has estab-
lished her own sanitarium, where
eternal spring inspires everlasting
youth. With the snow mantled peaks

on the other, and veritable paradise
Of flowers, fruits, and plants between,
man can find and needs no lovelier
land. To visit such a country is a
privilege, blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, recognizing the need of more
comfortable and pleasant way of cross
ing the continent, inaugurated a
series of annual tours to California,
running a through train of Pullman
palace cars from New York to the
Pacific Coast, and stepping at the
principal points of interest en- youte.
The great popularity of the tours
demonstrates the wisdom of the move
ment.
For the season of 1897 three tours
have been arranged 10 leave New
York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburg,
January AZ, February "a and March
81.
The first tour will run direct to
San Diego via St. Louis and the
Santa Fe Route, and return from San
Francisco via Salt Lake City, Denver,
and Chicago, allowing FIVE weeks in
California.
The second tour will run via the
Mammoth Cave and New Orleans to
San Diego, stopping at the &" Crescent
City" during the Mardi Gras Carni-
val. This tour will return via Salt
Lake City, Denver, Omaha, and
Chicago, allowing four weeks in
California.
The third tour will run via Ch 'cago
Denver, and Salt Lake City, allowing
passengers to return by regular trains
via different routes within nine
months.
All of these tours, either going or
returning, will pass through the fam
Gus Colorado region, Glenwood
Springs, Leadville, and the Garden of
the Gods.
Rates from all points on the Penn
sylvania Railroad System east of
Pittsburg: First tour, $3Io second

There is no little speculation as It

as to Mrs. McKinley's capacity for the
social duties of the position. She is 6

doubt is as to her physical ability tt

sented her as a confirmed invalid fol
many years. 1t is stated, however
that she bore the excitement anc
strain of the late campaign, when this
modest residence at Canton, Ohio, wa!
the daily scene of visiting delegations
with admirable success. 1t is in every
respect desirable that the Presidents
wife should be able to preside over the
White House, and doubtless Mrs. Nc
Kinley will attempt the task. She i!
no stranger to the White House. She
was the most intimate friend Of Mrs
Hayes, and often assisted her at the
social functions of the Hayes admin
stration. Doubtless her intimate know
ledge Of Washington social life, and heI
intellectual character, will enable hel
to so arrange the new menage of the
White House that she will be enabled
to preside at many If not all important
functions.

an interesting one. A notable figure
will be the venerable mother from

kilograms to Women.

The telegraph messenger who
keeps his eyes open has an opportun-
ity to note many curious phases OF
human nature. One told recently
that women never opened telegram
without turning pale, and when the
message was not alarming they look
ed disappointed. He delivered about
two death messages day, four birth
messages, a great many business
messages, and once in great while
love message that makes him tired
to carry it. He carried one recently
to young man in town that read,
" How are you to-day, darling 2''
The answer went promptly back by
the boy and was to the effect, l
am better, love"
He once carried a message OF
death to a colored woman, and after
reading it her emotions overcame her
to such an extent that she caught the
messenger in her arms and soundly
boxed his ears. Another colored
woman refused to open or sign for a
message, bur walked the floor and
beat her breast and screamed, sup
posing it announced a death. When
al the neighbors had come in, one
more venturesome than the rest read
the message. 1t was simply notice
that the woman's sister would come
up from Leavenworth that evening tc
see her.-AtfhiS0A Gh06e.

Washington society is always deeply
interested in the social character oI
an Administration, and the family re-
lations of a President are likely to at.
tract quite as much attention here as
his political policy. There is nothing
new in this. 1t began with the first
administration. and the state and cere.
mony with which Washington sur
rounded the executive ofiice were re-
fiected in the dignity and display with
which Mrs. Washington conducted the
social functions of the Government
The government even of a republic has
its social side. 1t is not only that par

an important diplomatic or political
snarl is smoothed out by the delightful
associations of the White House din
ing-room. One is almost tempted &c
say that the most successful admin
strations have been those which have
had the most charming or influential
women connected with them. Certain
1t is that the Administrations most
dominated by woman's influence are
historically the most interesting and
romantic.

Bloodier Wars in the Future,

War itself will at times be less hide
Gus now in these days of smokeless
powder, for while the noise Of the guns
is lessened the flash is more blue and
far more vivid, and the trling purple
haze which overspreads the landscape
when the fire Of muskery becomes
intense beauties all objects, though
it in no way interleres with sight. AS
for the guns they appear to have but
the smoke of cigar, and, | may add,
the smell Of fusee Men and horses
are now visible in battle, however hot
the engagement, however great the
numbers, with all the clearness in
which they are depicted in panoramic
views of medlaeval battle.
Woe betide, in future, generals who
ride whi,e Arabs, and armies whose
uniforms or equipments glisten !
"Their fluttering lance pennons add
greatly to the spectacular effect of
our field days" has lately been said of
the lancers of the British army. AL
though lance pennons have gone IN
France, yet the military painter can
still find subject. The carnage when
men next fight will no doubt be awful
and the next war bloodier than the
last, but the preliminaries of destruc-
tion will be lovely to the eye.--.SV

An Autumn Tragedy.

He sat him down to write a lay Of autumn
golden, grand;
Had FURNISHED pen and violet ink and every-
thing at hand.
OF course he used the stock in trade-the rus@
set cloaks and capes-
And rolled through arbors "reeling with tat
and juicy grapes"
The "wailing woods" and "meadows brown"
were patent in his verse.
He sang of cleaning worlds OF gold-soms dis
tance from his purse
And Uttered all the land with leaves by morn
and moonlight pale
While "dropping nuts" fell round him like y
heavy storm of hail.
He sang. and fairly sang, and told as pitiful .

As ever poet uttered till he struck the nut

And then he reeled so in his verse he shocked

FOUGHT FOR THREE WEEKS.
The First Whale Caught In Puget Sound
Makes "a Great Fight.

A whale was captured near Tacoma the
other day that made a three weeks fight
for its life During that time half dozen
whaling crews and steamers enlisted in
the whale hunt. Some of these whale
hunters carried cannon, and all of them
were armed with harpoons Some of the
harpoons were of steel and especially COM
structed to be discharged from the cannon.
None of these harpoons ever reached the
whale, and the honor of "getting % line"
on TO the monster was left for Frank ALI
ger, who one night during the chase crept
up in a small slxiff and drove "a harpoon in-
TO the leviathan.
The whale was exhibited at Tacoma and
Seattle and Is now being reduced to whale
oil and grease at Fox island, near Ta-
coma. He measured 40 feet In length and
80 feet in girth the day he was captured.
His ilippers are 10 feet long, and his jaw Is
the same length. His tail measures . feed
from tip to tip. This is the first whalo
captured in the sound.-San Francisco
Examiner.
