Stand by Your Friends.

Populists desire to stand by their
friends. The abuse, ridicule and Sian.
der of the opposition Is so great that
friends are doubly appreciated. One
of the practical ways to promote Pop
ulism is for individual members of the
party to recognize fair and friendly
treatment by assisting in all reasons-
BILE ways those who merit such as
sistance. The party has never had
the active support of any railroad cor.
poration, but some lines have managed
to treat the Populists with q great deal
more consideration than others. Not
able among these Is the Rock Island.
1t is always ready and willing to do It's
part for the party In handling crowds
for party gatherings and 1t Is always
done we'll and with q spirit indicating
that the Rock Island desires to treat
the public, regardless Of party diVis-
ions, fairly. Any person who lives on
this compsnY'S lines or who can reach
them need have no hesitancy In going
over 1t to the st. Louis convention. 1t
has no line from Kansas City to st.
Louis, but 1t will sell through tickets
and handle the traffic through its ar.
rsngements with other lines. 1t will
give splendid service, and will handle
the crowd with the least discomfort to
passengers possible.

Ma gnifying Ewes.

Peek Abou Ben Adhem, son of the
old man. awoke many mornings
from his deep dreams of no
peace to grieve because his eyes
lid not magn fy enough; they
did not fit his mind. Everything SEEM
ed paltry and little. The dollar of the
pa.riarchs looked too small to suit
him, and what it would purchase was
trivial. His caravans from Damascus
did not look the size he would like, and
his tent with bay roof front door
Flaps, and Mansard cellar. seemed of
small proportions, while his neighbor
and his acts seemed to be much too
little in his eyes. Even himself was not
as large as laagc rs he felt he was. SO
he praYed to Mahomet and got the
gift of magnifying sight.
When he opened his eyes the next
morning and SAW his shoes, he rallied
at the servants for bringing into his
tent two monStrous shoemaker's signs;
his wrath was many times larger
than before, and when he looked at
his feet he fiji nted but was charmed to
behold the vastness of his tent, and
when ho looked at himself in his mir
ror he was delighted. The gold and
silver in his safe greatly expanded. and
each dollar was about the right size.
But alas. he looked across and saw
his neighbor's tent rs large as his own,
and his neighbor, coming ont was of
giant proportions, and his heart fell
down sta rs with duh thud that
could hardly be any thuddcr. The
small acts of his past life assumed
alarming dimensions. The wart on
his nose looked like Il side show tent.
and the amount of victuals he ate at
breakfast appalled, him. The bug in
his morning buiscuit looked ike Il
rhinoceros. and the microbes in the
water he attempted to drink Disguised
him, while the carpet tack he got i'll
his heel looked like tenpenny nail.
The sun was many times larger and
much hotter, and all the Little ills of
his life vastly increased in size. In his
bitterness of spirit he exclaimed.
There is nothing small about me,
and prayed to the Prophet to take back
the fatal gift as hs did not wish to feel
so b g any more.
Then he awoke and found he had
only been dreaming, and it is recorded
that he said ne never felt so big in his
life. "A. W. BeiLaW. IN Yankee Biade.

Among the most prominent of the

George b. Mcclellan, son of the Union
general of that name. He has taken a
house on Rhode Island avenue, in a
fashionable part Of the city, and he and
his wife will house-keep all winter. The
home is OF red brick, and the parlor is
pretty with its walls of pink and its
dainty ornaments. In the hall is big

holdings OF the figures make them

life-like in their beauty. On the second
floor is the library, facing the south and
bright with the morning sun. 1t is full
of books, pictures, and on one side of
the wall is a large square of dark vel

many of the swords belonging to Gen.
eral Mcclellan. One large saber was
that worn by the general during his
campaigns, and one of the most beauti-
full ones was presented to him by the
city of Philadelphia. It's golden hilt is
richly chased and the blade is engraved
with an appropriate inscription.
Mrs. Mcclellan, who has been mar
ried for five years, was a Miss Georgi-
ana Heckscher, of New York. She is an

face and agreeable manners, and is of

Miss Mary Sheridan, daughter Of the
late General Phil Sheridan, is becom-

and every bright afternoon may be seen
in a black habit trotting her slender
sorrel out into the country. She has a
fine figure, which is set off by the close
fitting gown, and looks most attractive
in riding costume.
Miss Jane Fuller, youngest daughter
Of the Chief Justice, IS expected to make
her debut this winter, but her mother
has been in poor health for some time
past, and it is doubtful if the coming
out will take place before the latter
part of the season. Miss Jane is a hand
some blonde, like her sisters, and Is
fond Of out-of-doors sports, being an
expert rider on the wheel. Her coming
out will not be formal reception, but
a simple tea.
Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, has
taken house in town, and he and his
wife are expected to be among the

daughters. she will have to perform her
social duties alone.
Among the additions to social circles
this winter will be Madame Domin-

guez, acting Minister from Argentina.
The DomingueZ family have taken a

by Mrs. General Grant. 1t was May
when the family moved to what was
then known as the Bellamy Storer
house, as the member from Cincinnati
had lived there during the last session
of Congress. The home of Secretary
Olney is in the center of the most fash
ionable part of the city, in neighbor-
hood which is full of the residences of
famous people and the mansions of for
eign ministers. just opposite is the
pretty red brick home of Mrs. Sheridan,
the widow of General Phil Sheridan.
and within few blocks are the houses
of Thomas Nelson Page, the author;
Hegenmuller, the Minister from Aus
tria, and dozen other celebrities. The
Olney home Is an odd-looking one, but
most attractive because it is not the
conventional square brick. 1t stands on
corner and is narrow in front, while
running back for some distance on the
side street. The entrance is low, being
of the English basement kind, and the
first or ground floor is occupied by a
pretty little queerly-shaped hall and
a broad stairway that leads to the par
lors above. The first parlor Is one OF
the most artistic apartments in town,
not from the elegance of it's furniture,
but from the taste displayed on every
hand. The-c Ss nothing luxurious in
its appointments, but its tone is one of
chaste simplicity. The room is rather
long and one end Is almost entirely
taken up with huge bay window,
whose dainty white curtains soften the
light that warns up brightly the pink
sof;; running around the curve.
Several bookcases of white wood are
about the rooms and filled with choice
novels, while the creamy walls are
frightened with pretty pictures, and
about on shining tables are numberless
little dainty ornaments and vases full
Of blooming flowers. The general air
is one of light and GOODNESS, combined
with cultivated and exquisite taste.
Across from this parlor is another
small room, whose polished floor is
covered with handsome rugs and whose
furnishings are mostly of antiques
beautifully carved. There is another
apartment; then one comes to huge
square chamber with very high cell
ing-what must have once been used
as ball room, but is now furnished in
pretty chairs, sofas full of colored pill
lows, tables full of books and silver
