She is the Best Liked Woman in the United
States To-Day-Every Woman Admires
Her Style.
Mrs. Cleyeland's frequent social ap-
pearances lately have shown very
clearly that the strong fascination
which her presence always exerted
among women has not lessoned the
veriest jot. She is the most interest
ing woman in this country to day in
not only every possible way, but par
ticularly in the fact that people never
tire of looking at her. No one was
ever yet heard to say that he had been
able to watch her quite as long as he
would have liked. A great many PEG
pie now know her intimately and are
able to see her frequently; but for the
great majority, to whom this intimacy
is denied, the only opportunities come
with the important functions at the
White House.
At Mrs Cleveland's tea perhaps L.
600 women had the pleasure of shaking
hands with her, and, at the same time,
enjoying little chat. 1t would have
been hard to find any woman in all
this number who, after this enjoy
ment, did not find some point from

eyes again on her hostess. Every de-
tail of her appearance, every ornament
she wore. aud every word she said was
discussed and admired.
Don't you think she is handsomer
than ever?n says one.

another, while still another chimes in

So it went, the same admiring COM

members so wildly tie first years OF
her residence in the White House
In evening dress Mrs. Cleveland is
the handsomest woman to-day in
Washington. She has beautiful
neck and well-rounded shoulders. and,
with the sparkle of her jewels, makes
! a picture of White House mistress
which is simply regal. Her smile is
contagious, for her manners are always
agreeably gracious.
Ruth and Esther and baby Marian
are miniatures of their mother. The
two elder girls love to get Q glimpse at
the grand daylight doings in their
home, and to do it have to peep
through the balusters of the big stair
way, which is their tower of observa-
tion. They can talk German with
their Fraulien with the greatest ease.
Mrs. Cleveland is seen on the street
occasionally, walking in the mornings
or driving around among the shops.
She is the most devoted of mothers,
and is never away from the children
at night. This has done away with
the little shopping jaunts to New York
which used to give her SO much pleas.
ure during her first residence here.
When Lent comes she will be able to
devote pretty much all of her time to
the little people, and that is precisely
what she likes.
ALI this month Mrs. Cleveland has
been receiving Monday afternoons at
five O'Clock. The occasions are made
very pleasant for the friends who drop
in. Some young ladies preside at the
tea table, and if a noted singer or per-
former happens to be among the
guests, or a friend with musical ability,
there is singing or playing of a most
delightful Characteristic Times.

will be eaten, and will go through the

constipation. Some of the simplest
symptoms are coated tongue and foul

sallowness. distress after eating, head

IN THE TWILIGHT.
WIN. E. CAMERON, Ex-eovEKNoR OF VIRGINIA

WMs E. CAMERON, EX-GOVERNOR OE NlhdlN1iAs
AS we grow old, our yesterdays
Seem very dim and distant;
We grope, as those in darken'd ways
Through all that is existent;
Yet far of days shine bright and clear
With suns that long have faded,
And faces dead seem strangely near
To those that life has shaded.
As we grow old our tears are few
For friends most lately taken;
But fall-as falls the Sumner dew
From roses lately shaken
When some chance word or Idle strain,
The chords of memory sweeping,
Unlock the flOod-gateS of our pain
For those who taught us weeping.
AS we grow old our smiles are rare
To those who greet us daily,
Or If some living faces wear
The looks that beamed so gaily
From eyes long closed, and we should smile
In answer to their wOoing,s =
'Tls but the past that shine 8 the while
K Our power to smile renewing
As we grow old our dreams at night
Are never OF the morrow,
They come with banfshed pleasure bright,
Or dark with olden sorrow;
And when we wake the names we say
Are not OF any mortals,
But OF those in some long dead day
Passed through lies sunsets portals

THE USUAL treatment of catarrh is
very unsatisfactory, as thousands can
testify. Proper local treatment is
positively necessary to success but
many, if not most, of the remedies in
general use afford but temporary
relief. A cure certainly cannot be
expected from snuffs, powders, douches
and washes. Ely's Cream Balm, which
is so highly commended, is a remedy
that com Dimes the important requisites
of quick action. specific curative
power, with perfect safety and pleas

Senator Pritchard, the result of a
combine between the negroes and
populists of North Carolina, made a
Mckinley speech at Chicago Wednes
day, in which he said what the South
most wanted was high protective
tariff. He evidently does not know
that the market for Southern products
is already SO much restricted that the
price of those products is by no means
remunerative, and that the restriction
must increase as long as a protective
tariff shall continue. What the South
is most in need of is free trade, so that
her products can be sold in all the mar
kets of the world and berpaid for with
the plentiful products of foreign coun-
tries, instead of with scarce gold. Ow-
ing to the superior facilities of the
South for productions of all sorts, she
can successfully compete with the
whole world, if only she be allowed a
fair field and no favor.-AleI, Gazette.
