ARM IN ARM WITH BLACKB11RN
Ex-Representative McCreary Denie,
 Any Ambition for the Senate

Frankfort, Ky, Oct. 19.-There was a big gathering of party leaders at Lexington today at a meeting of the democratic state central and executive committee. Ex-Senator Blackburn and ex-Congressman McCreary we e conspicuous in the crowd and accen- tuated the fact that their old-time war IS off for the present, at least. bv walking arm in arm and taking 2 drink together.
 Notwithstanding this there is a we'll founded impression that their re- spect1Ve ambitions are likely to collide once more. Captain Blackburn is a known candidate for Lindsay's seat and his friends say that McCrearv is also grooming for the race. McCreary said today he was not candidate for congress in the Eighth district. where Hon. G. Gilbert, of Shelbyville, is at present the only announced candidate but 1t is understood he is not averse to another term, and may conclude to come out as candidate, as his friends Insist that if he should redeem the district which elected Congressman Davidson, republican, last fall. it would give him a big boost in the sen- atorial campaign.

NEW SOCIAL LEADERS.
The Quadrennial Change In Of
fetal Life at Washington.
LADIES OF THE CABINET CIRCLE.

An Interesting Body of Accomplished
women-Their Important Social Func-

1t may interest the average citizen to
learn that the cabinet circle ladies of the
new administration are nearly all WON.
EN- to whom polite society and its duties
and conventions are perfectly familiar.
1t does not always happen so. Occasion.
ally the wife of a member of the cabinet
is a lady who scorns society functions
of all sorts and ignores her social duties
deliberately or else neglects them
through lack of previous training. This
deeply offends and greatly disturbs the
individuals who compose the social
world of our national capital
Washington society is peculiarly Or
ganized. It is composed of a number Of
distinct circles, one outside the other
and touching each other only at the
edges. None of them overlaps. In the
very center of all this is the cabinet
circle, which, although the smallest in
numbers, is the first in importance.
About tho cabinet circle all the other
circles revolve. Next comes the su.

senatorial circle, the house circle, and

MRS, GARY,

She has two married daughters, and
her young unmarried daughter Frances
is brilliant and accomplished young
woman, who will fully appreciate the
advantages which her standing in Wash
ington society will give her.
Mrs. Long, the wife of the secretary
Of the navy, is by no means a stranger
to Washington society. though when she
first came to the capital as a bride her
husband was only popular member Of
the house. Her social duties as wife Of
a cabinet member she will probably find
somewhat more arduOus. Mrs. Long is
a clever and resourceful woman, and as
mistress of the executive mansion of
Massachusetts,, gained no little expert
ence.
Mrs Gary, the wife of the postmaster
general, is woman of many personal
attractions Coming from Baltimore,
where she moved in most exclusive cir
cles, she has been bought up in a So
cial world in which the conventions are
strictly observed. For years she has been
one Of the most prominent hostesses Of
Maryland and has presided over a pre-
tentious town house as well as a spa
cious country residence. She brings
with her to the capital her daughters,
clever and beautiful young women who
have been prominent in Baltimore soci-
ETY. and are pleased at an opportunity
to shine in that of Washington.
Of the other cabinet ladies Mrs. Ly-
man ]. Gage may be mentioned as a
woman to whom social leadership will
be no novelty. Mrs Cornelius N. Bliss
will be one Of the most conspicuous la
dies in the cabinet circle and will prob
ably entertain extensively. One or two
of the others may prefer to remain in
the background, but Washington society
will find that the cabinet ladies as
whole are exceedingly we'll fitted for
the parts thy must take,

DEPARTMENT STORES
SMALL MERc cHANTS PROTEST AGAINST
THEIR ENcRoAcHMENTS.

The Agitation Recently Begun In Chicago
Is Spreading Throughout the Country
and Is Becoming n Political Issue--In-
teresting Features of the Controversy.
There is much to be said on both sides
Of the department store question, and
Chicago people are saying it. They are
not only talking, but they are acting.
The same question is being agitated in
other parts of the country, and even in
Canada. The legislatures of at least two
other states besides that of Illinois are
at present considering measures which
are intended to wipe the department
stores out Of existence, but the storm
center Of the whole disturbance seems to
be in Chicago
In that city the anti department store
agitation almost amounts to a popular
uprising. Never before has problem
which on the face of it seems so purely
economic been so generally discussed. 1t
is debated in mass meetings, it is the
topic for everyday discussion, the press
devotes columns daily to it, and it is
even taken for the theme of pulpit dis
courses by prominent divines. The de.
partment store is already an issue in the
municipal campaign, for the platform of
the local Republican party contains
plank denouncing the department store,
and the Republican majority in the leg
islature seems committed to this policy.
The movement originated with the
Chicago Business Mems association or
rather the organization grew out of the
movement, for it was formed the other
day, when 800 delegates, representing as
many associations and lines of business,
met and proceeded tumultuously to map
out campaign of determination. After
electing G. F. Gilman president,
choosing other officers and selecting a
number of committees the association
went to work on an ordinance to be pre-
sented to the city council and bill to
be submitted to the state legislature,
for the Chicago people propose to legis-
late the big stores out Of existence. Half
way measures find no favor A radical
reform is called for, and nothing else
seems to meet the popular approval.
The Illinois house Of representatives.
has adopted resolution beginning,
Whereas, Department stores have be-
come a grave menace to the business
and property interests of the state and
have retarded the development and gen.
eral welfare of the communities wherein
they exist and have destroyed to a dan
gerous degree the individual occupations

allowed to live on the land rent free,
and at the end of that time they will be
given an opportunity to purchase their
farms at the actual cost to Mr.. Moore
by paying annual installments. The soil
in the region is very fertile, and the
climate is as near to that of their native
country as could be found. The Ar
menians are naturally an agricultural
people, and, although they will have to
learn new methods, it is expected they
will eventually become fairly prosperous
farmers, for they are frugal, industri-
GUS people of simple tastes. They are
initiative, too, and will be quick to
adopt the methods of American farmers.
They make good citizens, for they are Of
peaceable disposition and temperate
habits.
The business manager Of the colony,
Rev. Garabed M. Manavian, is native
of Armenia, but has been in this coun-
try for six years. He is just the man for
the position, for he has the confidence
of the colonists to begin with and knows
their needs and capabilities better than
one of a strange race. He is young
man and before coming to the United
States received good education at Eu-
pirates college in Kharput, afterward
acting as teacher in Smyrna and in
structor in the college at which he was
graduated.
Upon reaching America he went to
Chicago and entered the Chicago Theo-
logical seminary, where he prepared for
the ministry. For four years he was
pastor of the Armenian settlement at
Waukegan, and at the same time he
continued his theological studies at the
Lake Forest university. Two years ago
he received call from the First Con-
gregational church of Kharput, but he
declined to return to place where he
would be under Turkish rule The Rev.
Mr. Manavian visited the site of the col
ony not long ago to make arrangements
for the reception Of the settlers and then
returned to Chicago TO act as guide in
leading the exiles to their new home.
"The colonization company is still in
the process of formation" said Mr..
Moore recently. Several other men
have interested themselves in it, and we
need all the help we can get. My daugh-
ter, Mrs. Gates, is at home assisting in
the work, but when the colony is once
fairly started she will return to her sta
tion in Kharput. We expect to send
many more families down there if the
project turns out successfully, and do
not see why it should not The location
Is well suited to them, and I do not
doubt that they will find farming in
that region profitable If they do not,
and, after living on the ground for a
year, decide that they dc not wish to
remain, shall be pleased to keep the
land"
There is little chance, however, Of the
Armenians being dissatisfied, for at the
present time they are homeless wander
ers, who, although they have escaped
the sword Of the cruel Kurd, are help
less and among strangers.

livelihood, " and ending by declara.
ton in favor of regulating, controlling
or abolishing such stores.
The remedy suggested by the bill
which has been prepared is similar to
one which has been presented to the
Wisconsin legislature. 1t authorizes the
city councils of cities of over 100, 900
inhabitants to collect license from each
storekeeper. The various lines of trade
are divided into 70 distinct businesses.
The license fee for engaging in only
one business is nominal, but il increases
in double ratio when more than one line
of goods is carried, and the limit is fixed
at ten, license for engaging in such a
business being so high as to be prac-
tically prohibitive.
Thus far the small retailers and the
real estate men are the most active Op-
ponents of the big stores. The latter are
not directly affected because the depart
ment stores, although they carry almost
everything else in stock, have not yet
put corner lots, flats and tenement build
ings on their bargain counters. But be-
cause Of these big emporiums of trade
the smaller merchants have been forced
out of business, and this has left thou
sands Of stores vacant. That is where
the real estate men are pinched.
Among the foremost champions Of the
agitation in Chicago is Bishop Fallows,
big hearted philanthropist, who has al
ways been a sturdy friend of the people.
In recent sermon he roundly denC unced
the department stores. "There iE no le-
gitimate place among us for these great
aggregations of commercial interests, I"
he said, "and they ought to be legislat-
ed out of existence.
The department store magnates them
selves are saying very little They de-
clare that any such legislation as has
been proposed would be unconstitution-
al, and that their lawyers are prepared
to carry the issue into the courts the
moment such measures are passed.
They also argue that this is a free coun-
try, and that they can use their capital
as they see fit.
In Wisconsin a similar fight is being
waged, but there no provision has as
yet been made, so that the proposed law
will not affect the general storekeepers
of the country districts. The New York
Legislature is considering resolution to
send out an investigating committee to
find out whether the department stores
are good or bad. In other localities the
crusade is being agitated more or less
vigorously, and it may be that the day
of the bargain counter is nearly done.

circle composed of the clerks in the va.
rious departments. 1t is all hollow
enough, but the ceremonies which the
smallest and most exclusive circle OBJ.
serves are the veriest mockery.
Each cabinet lady is expected to have
receiving day. This means that once
week she throws open her house to the
public at large and all who care to con.
slider themselves in society She does
not do this to give her friends chance
to drop in and have o little chat, Not
at all. For two or three hours she stands
up and shakes hands with a throng OF
strangers who crowd her parlors, scram.
bic for refreshments, criticise the ap.
pointments of the house, the hostess,
her dress and exchange bits of malicious
gossip about her best friends, perhaps
at her very elbow.
1t is needless to say that a cabinet
lady does not anticipate these reception
days with any degree Of pleasure. When
it is all over, she is as tired as if she had
been doing u hard days work. and she
is probably on the verge Of nervous pros.
tration. A collection of forgotten um.
brellas, a stray wrap or two, few
pieces of broken hric-a-bruc, u lot OF
miscellaneous rubbish and a bushel Of
so Of calling cards remind her CT the
crowd that has passed through heI
doors, and she sighs as she thinks that
next week it has to be done all over
again.
The little dinners which she is ex-
pected to give several times during the
season are a shade more agreeable. The
company is small, but even here she
cannot confine her invitations to people
whom she knows to be congenial. There
are certain persons who must be invited,
whether she likes or not, and she must
do her best to seem pleased to see them.
Such is Washington society, which you
hear people tell about enjoying"
But to an ambitious woman there is
a certain charm and fascination about
the rushing crowds and the social in
trigues which are being planned all
around her. The knowledge that she
can make or mar these plans is perhaps
a pleasing one.
Foremost among the cabinet ladies Of
today is Mrs Sherman, who, as the

A COLONY OF EXlLES.
AHoME IN GEORGIA FOR OPPRESSED
ARMENlANS.

The PhiIantbropic Project of silas NJ.
Moore Of Chicago, In which Booth
Tucker Is Also Interested-A Commu-
nifty of Small Farmers.
A colony of exiled Armenians has
been founded in Georgia, and 80 indi-
Viduals of this prosecuted race were re-
Cently installed ON tract of 300 acres
of land located on the line of the South
ern railroad near Eastman. 1t is wholly
through the liberality of Mr.. Silas M.
Moore of Chicago that this asylum for
band Of most unfortunate people has
been opened up. There is room for many
more expatriated Armenians in Georgia,
and it is expected that this colony will
be only nucleus for much larger one,
as it is intended to rescue from the
clutches of the bloodthirsty sultan as
many Armenians as possible.
Mr.. Moore is greatly interested in the
work of helping this suffering people.
His daughter is the wife of Rev. S. @.
Gates, a missionary stationed at Khar-
put, Turkey Mr.. Moore is president of
the Armenian Relief association, but
this enterprise is a distinct and separate
one in which he has the associated aid
of "a number of prominent workers in
the field of religious philanthropy,
among them being Commander Booth
Tucker of the Salvation Army
The land which the colony occupies
was formerly a numbering district,
heavily wooded with pine, but the trees
have all been cut down. The houses oc-
cupicd by the lumber company, some 30
i'll number, are still standing and will
be utilized by the refugees. A few
months ago Mr.. Moore secured the land
at very low price, and his proposition
to use it for the purpose of founding an
Armenian colony was greeted with en-
thusiasm. There were about 30 Ar
menian families in Chicago who had
fled from Turkey, and the relief asso-
citation had been able to find no place
for them.
Mr.. Moore's plan is to turn over to
each family plot of from to 20 acres,
according to their ability to cultivate it.
For the first year the colonists will be

try knows Washington society so thor
oughly as Mrs. sherman. For more
than 40 years she has spent the best
part of every year within sight of the
great white dome, and in all that time
she has never once sighted her social
obligations. As senator S wife she has
left her cards regularly at the residences
of every one on her big visiting list, and
her Thursdays have become an institu-
tion.
When the Shermans first went to
Washington, they occupied modest lit

| tie brick house on X street, and il was
| not until the present secretary Of state
was 10 years old that he began to build
the handsome marble mansion, only a
few doors from the old house, which he
| now occupies. Mrs. Sherman is an ad-
mirable type of the American woman.
Her smooth brown hair is streaked with
gray, but she is still vigorous She is
tall and stately, and her manner is a
pleasing combination of dignifed reserve
and cordial affability She has never
plotted to obtain social supremacy, but
now that it has come to her she may
confidently be expected to assume the
leadership with as much graciousness as
II she thought she was going to enjoy
it. Mrs. Sherman has no children of
her own, but an adopted daughter, as
dear to her as if she were an own child,
is happily married and lives in Wash
ington. Two brilliant women, both rel
atives, will also share her social prestige
and add to the attractiveness of her
drawing rooms. These are Mrs. Cam
eron, the young wife Of the ex-senator
from Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Miles,
wife of the commander in chief of the
army.
One Of the most attractive among the
cabinet ladies is Mrs. Alger wife of the
secretary of war. She is an experienced
hostess, for during her husbands two
terms as governor of Michigan she en-
tertained Lansing society in handsome
style. With large means at her COM
mand, she has been leader of society
in Detroit, and both she and her hus-
band are fond Of this sort of thing. Her
part Of the social duties which devolve
upon the wives of the cabinet officers
will be discharged with enthusiasm.
