Original Draft of the Message Was In His
 Handwriting.
 The belief that the message sent to congress was written by MT. Olney, not by Mir. Cleveland, is very generally ex- pressed, but it is authoritatively declared that this belief is not founded on fact. The original draft of the message was in MT. Cleveland's s handwriting. Mir. Cleveland returned to the White House about o'clock on Sunday.
 He at once sent for Secretary Olney, Secretary Lamont and Secretary Car lisle and was in conference with them for comparatively short tine. He worked alone that night, and before o'nioek Monday morning he handed to one of tLe clerks the message. all in his own handwriting. It was written on a small tablet and made 15 rsges of his very fine manuscript From this were made the drafts of the message sent to congress Tuesday. Washington Star.

shrrwood Concert Company.

The next attraction at the Opera house will be the engagement of the Sherwood Concert Company, which takes place next Saturday night, the 18th inst. Of this company the Musical Courier says:
 "Mr. SherWood's performances need no praise, as he is ackhowl- edged to be the greatest Concert Pianist in America. Of the quar- tette great results are predicted from this tour. They have been drilled on this program since September b by two of the worlds greatest in- structofs, and those who have heard them say their work is of very high order.
 Miss Jennie Osborn, soprano, be came famous as a concert singer at the x orld's Fair. hIdme. Melba, during her recent engagement in Chicago, requested Miss Osborn 10 sing the soprano roles in Faust for her. The result of which was a fat tering offer from Mdme Melba to in- duce Miss Osborn to become her understudy in Grand Opera. This is a compliment to an American soprano for which there has been no parallel within the last decade.
 Miss Mabel Crawford, contralto, it is said, bears a closer resemblance to the great Scalchi, in both voice and appearance, than any one on the American stage today.
 "Mr Derrick has a bass voice of wonderful power and smoothness, giving an ideal Mephisto in voice and makeup.
 "Mr. Hannah's progress since go- ing to Chicago is phenominal. He is under training with the same master who acted as critic to such great artists as Melba and the de Reszkes. History does not record single in- stance where a young man only 24 years of age, within one year of in- struction, assumed successfully one of the most difficult roles in Grand Opera. This Mir Hannah accom- plished.

 Iustrious Father.

lustrious Father.
 Miss Kitty. the speakers 19-year-old daughter, IS the best politician ill the Reed family. She abhors society, par ticularly the hollow sham official so- oiety of the national capital, and loves politics. She has made study of poli- tics and most of the public men,.
 Her father has blind faith in her judgment and often consults her as to what be shall do. Kitty writes many of his letters for him and does not hesi- tate to give her advice, because she knows it is always welcome.
 Mrs. Reed does not care for political life and would be quite as we'll satiS- fled to settle down in her beautiful home on the hills of Portland. Miss Kitty, on tho other hand, is intensely ambi- tious. and, as the speaker himself says. ''the keenest and best politician in the family. '-Waltar Wellman in Chicago Times Herald.

 When MT. Cousins realized what was expected of him in the premises, he gavo ono look at the bride, turned so red that even the darkest corner of the church became as light as monday, bolted down the aisle and out of the church, leaving the bride in rather an embarrassed state of mind, to say noth- ing of tho mingled feelings of surprise and bewilderment of tho other members of the bridal party and friends.
 Both Mercer and Cousins are in the present congress, but the latter had rather talk on almost any subject than on certain incidents connected with the wedding of the gentleman from Nebras- ka Boston Advertiser.
