A NATIONAL CHARACTER.

Washington Correspondent.

COrreSr OGi ence.
Colonel Thomas = Ochiltree has a
sc tEt margin of nope thai he viii live
the year out. His dangerous sickness
has taken such p serious turn that
rOshiHg can save h m but q severe
operation. H may b able t. stand
the strain. 1t seeUs from his cOndi-
ton that one OF he most pic uresque of
American lives is drawing to Il close
The passing OF the colOre! will be the
end of race of men Of his type and
the loss to the country of a genius as
famed across the ocean as at home.
He is man If the world. Ochiltree
in London or Paris gets as much at! en-
ton as Ochiltree in Washington or
New York. His telegrams of sym pa
Thy come from all sections of the re-
pu bile.
This man became a national charac-
ter a few years ago when he came to
congress IS representative from
Texas. He was conspicuous to look
upon, and he rarely said anything that
was not conspicuous. He made f. lends
and he was so gOod-patured to his
enemies and 50 quick with his wit that
the men who We're opposed TO him were
anxious 10 get over their Tits He
was pointed out on the floor of the
house as the first native congressman
from his state. 1t was also related
that his district was wider and longer

down to an elaborate dinner or iris
ing from table grooming with all the
luxuries." The descriptions are prob
aOly accurate, as no man In the cOun-
try has gastronomic art to a higher
state o. cult alton than he He would
starve to death were he forced to live
on the tiet which the ancient Lucullus
considered the best on earth.
Colonel Ochiltree has reputation
for knowing more bout good things to
eat, or having eaten more good things,
for having helped more people to eat
the he-t things than any other living
man in this country. He is also no
second on the proposition of beverages.
The good tas'e n eating and drinking
was natural for him and be declares
he protested loudly and industriously
because the nurse insisted he should
have nothing but milk during his very
early life He likes the good things of
life no more than he does the bright
men in life. Where he is there is a
certain center Of keen wit and ringing
stories. He is versatile in his eating,
as well as in his mind He stands the
chuck Of the plains at well as the chef
'ouures Of the metropolis, and he will
relish tie po1r stuff of the chapSrral |
on the bou evards, if the man are about
the table hat make the diners forget |
the dinner.
The cOiOoel is man who Is original
in thought aad act, but it is not record
ed that he ever did a mean an undigni-
fed thing. HIS brains, as much as his
entertaining habit. have made him d
distinguished character. He has come
to weigh nearly 300 pounds. This has
troubled him for some time, and time
aud time again h has been down with
an ailment which came directly from it.
He has been confined to his room, and
he is row getting ready for the last
struggle with the disease. He may
recover. Men at 81 have stood the
trial he will face and have recovered.
There is probably no man in private
life over the country whOse sickness
has aroused the same attention and
sorrow, and whose recovery will be a
matter of such wide concern.

Is A GREAT CIVILIZER.

King Chulalongkorn rules over 5000,
900 people. He has done for Siam
what the mikado has done for Japan.
He has introduced American and
European civilization, and in the thirty
years of his reign has advanced Siam
more than she had been advanced in
two centuries. The king comes to this
country in his yatcb, the Maha
Chakrkri. She is a vessel designed
partly as yatch and partly as cruis-
el: she was built in Eng and in
1892.
There lately has bean g rumor that
the king would not, after al. come to
this country, but would return to Siam
i'm Inc diately after the queens jubilee.
The king first announced his intention
OF coming TO America in 1880, but was
prevented by affairs of state. When
General Grant was on his tour around
the world he was entertained so
pleasantly by the Siamese sovereign
that he. ever afterwari cherished
the MOST lively regard for that
mOnarcn.
Ia 1888, when it was settled that the
king would not visit the UDited States
for some tine to come, General Grant
wrote to him Il letter in which he said:

A RECENT LETTER.

A letter from the kings private Sc
cretary was recently received by Colo
mel David b. Sickles, in which the
king said that if he did not get here
this trip be would at some future time.
Oddly enough, the king is said to be
especially interested in the Lotos club.
In the letter from the secretary it is
stated that his ma eSty has heard much
of tue club from various Americans,
aud intends to pay 1t visit
LhulalOngkorn's great-grandfathe err
was the first OF the present dynasty on
the Siamese throne. ChulalOngkorn's
father inaugurated the sy stem by nom
mating the Oldest son of the monarch
as the successor to the throne, sys-
tenn which ChulalongkOrn has contin-
ued and which has done muca to in
crease the stability OF tn government.
Before the time OF the present 6lng's
father, the custom was for the monarch
to nominate as his successor any mem
Der of the royal family that he pleased

QUEEN IN BOOMERS.

is his wife, the first queen" The

ture of civilization and barbarism, as
she Is herself. She wears waist with

COSTUME OF THE QUEEN OF SIAM.
the camera man touched the button
the queen turned her back, so that the
people should not see the emotion she
felt al parting with the boys.
Besides the first and second queens,
the king has about 500 handmai dens in
his harem. The kings father had
eighty children. The king is now 45
years old. He was crowned in 1868, but
the government was in the hands of a
regency until 1873, when the king was
declared of age and again crowned.
When ChulalongkOrn came to the
throne he found himself in about the
same condition as did the emperor of
Japan when he succeeded to his ''throne
immemorial.' AS the tycoon was the
real ruler in Japan. the mikado being
kept for show purposes only, so the
second king of Siam was running things
in that country.
SECOND KING RETIRED.
AS soon as young Chulalongkorn felt
the crows firmly on his head he forced
an issue with the second king. There
was a little war, which resulted in the
second kings taking refuge in the
British consulate at Bangkok and be-
ing good on reasonable pension for
the rest of his life. Chulalongkorn
believes in keeping the government of
y
family.
Nearly all the ministers of his cabi-
net are his brothers. Having lot of
them, he finds it easy to fill up the
Offices without going outside of the
family circle. The king is great be-
liever in the civilizing influences of
the steamship and the railway. In his
capital at Bang kok he has street cars
running and several lines of steam
railways have been built through the
country by the favor of his most gra-
cious majesty. The king, by the way,
in speaking or writing about the Unit
ed States always calls it 1.-The most
favored country" He is anxious to
see all that is new. and believes that in
this country he can get at the acme of
western progress ard civilization.
WHEN HE IS AMERICAS GUEST.
When the king arrives in this coun-
try, whether he comes here now or
later, he will be the guest of the gov
ernment, and an officer of the govern
ment will be detailed to escort him
about and see that he spends no money.
One of the remarka BILE things about
the city of Bangkok is the kings SUBJ
aqueous summer palace. 1t is great
diving bell, composed largely of glass.
and when the days and nights are hot
the machine is lowered into the waters
of the sluggish Menam river, and the
king takes his ease below the surface
OF the water. Air is supplied from the
surface, but is artiticially cooled before
IT gets to the royal presence.-Dallas
