LINCOLN Is DICTATOR.
Real Authority at the Head of Chica-
COS Three Hundred.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-The complete mech
Rnism of the Chicago social set That
aims at an exclusivenesS like unto that
of New York came to the surface yes
terday. Robert T. Lincoln with whom
the idea of the assembly ball appears
to have originated, is regarded as the
sponsor for the larger scheme and in
spite of the denial he entered Yesterday
of a desire to pose as social dictator
the intent of society danes to enthlone
him in the judicial chair when cues
tons of social forms and social law are
being weighed has been too clear "
SHOWN for denial to toss it aside With
the adoption of the new regime he Will
be appealed to in every instance of
doubt, and the reason is not remark
able. No man in Chicago TODAY has
had his experience in untangline com
plicated points of etiquette AS law
yer, politician and finally as diplomat
at the most polished court of Europe he
has had occasion to master the delicate
minutiae of all things social.
They have decided that his talents
ought to be placed at their call, and
thus far Mr. Lincoln has shown no IN
willingness to accept the advisory du-
ties that have been tacitly given over
to him. 1t is an open secret that the
brilliancy of the assembly was in a
large measure due to plans entirely his
own No one denies, moreover, that,
though the committee of nine was sup
posed to have only secretary and
treasurer, he, without any ostensibIe Of
flee whatever, was the one to whom
everything was referred.

MOODY TALKS BACK.
Great Evangelist Declares the People
Need to be Awakened

Boston, Jan. 13.-Evangelist Moody in
his address at fremont temple today
briefly replied to his critics.
I believe there is a greater thirst in
America today than ever before, but
what we need is leaders,, said Mr..
Moody. How can man give if he has
nothing to give? There is a great deal
of talk that don't go higher than
mans head. Don't be afraid of a little
excitement. What New England needs
is a little excitement. 1 am glad there
has been some answering back. One
man has said I ought to be ashamed
and take back what 1 said about men
keeping mistresses. will take it back
when men get through keeping them,
and not before. What il there is ex-
element to wake people up? That is
what we want, and no matter if some
men do wake up cross"

A Warning TO Writers.

It Is stated that Father Lainez, the com-
panion of Loyola, would probably have
been made a saint long ago were It not
that his handwriting was so bad that no.
body can read the manuscripts he left.
His perfect orthodoxy for that reason must
forever remain not q matter Of doubt ex-
actly, but not susceptible of proof, which
is, 1t seems, just as fatal as heterodoxy SO
far as attaining recognition az saint Is
concerned. There IL here surely warn
Ing which all should heed. It has long
been known that illegible ohirography 10 u
constant cause of SIN In those who have
to read It, and especially In copy readers
and oompositors, mono Of whom has ever
won place on the church calendar sim
ply because 1t 10 impossible to maintain a
serene and forgiving mind while struR-
Cling with the hieroglyphs constantly pre-
sented to them by editors, reporters and
old subscriber. Thus two great classes Of
people who live wholly blameless lives
have been robbed Of glory. Now It appears
that the writer's themselves, at least occa-
sionally, suffer an equal deprivation.
There Is much consolation In this thought
for some Of us-New York Times.

A Rrosdaide Of statistics.

II there Ia one talent which commands
respect In the house of commons moro
than another, &c is talent for figures.
Statistics are In the very blood Of English
men, and the master Of statistics Is tho
master Of the house of commons. Sir
Henry Fowler is n master Of statistics. He
can take up whole bundle OF figures and
handle them with the facility and dexter
ity Of n juggler dealing with balls. When
. stormy attack has been made on LIB
eral proposal, when the landed interest
cries out through some one of the squire
arcby that radicalism has oppressed and
overburdened the land and that rndicslism
r. tho enemy Of the farmers and the agrl-
culture Of the country. Sir Henry Fowler
gets up and, rolling OF figure after figure,
and polting thom nt his hapless opponents
as though he wero delivering. fusillade
Of hot shot, leaves the poor country gentle
men sprawling, cowcd, speechlcsS with
conscious suilt.-T. p. O'Connor IN Har.

Tillman's Signature.

All notes issued by the government bear
the Endorsement OF the register OF the
treasury, and everybody Is familiar with
the finely written, somewhat effeminate
signature of Mr.. Tillman. Like that of
Grover Cleveland, who conferred public
Office ON the Tennessean, Mr.. Tillman's
handwriting suggests man entirely DIFF
ferent In personal appearance from his real
self He is tall, broad shouldered and In
clined to rotundity. His linen Is always
immaculate. A waistcoat cut u shape
and extremely low allows a broad expanse
of shirt bosom, embellished by q magni1.
cent diamond stud, to be seen. His dia-
mond his shirt front and his stalwart
build have made Mr.. Tillman a noticeable
figure in Washington.
Just how Mr.. Tillman began the prac-
tice of sending q dollar bill or bill of any
other denomination to q person whom he
wished to see Is not definitely known, but
the friends Of the register tell this story
about it.: Mr.. Tillman went visiting one
evening. When he opened his card case in
response to the presentation OF silver
plate by servant, he found 1t empty.
II haven't q card with me-" he ex.
planned and was about to send up his
name by word of mouth when happy
thought came. "This will serve as well, !"
he said, fishing out dollar note and plac-
ing it on the salver. ''That's not foi
you, mind" added the TennesseaD, de-
tecting look of cupidity in the servants
face. "Give it to Mr.. -. He'll under
stand
But Mr.. - did not understand. He
sent back the money, with q request for
an explanation.
"Well, well" said Mr.. Tillman. "How
odd. There's my name, plain as daylight,
In the lower left hand corner"
The register was received at once.-New
York Sun.

Two white haired old women were sit

their grown up children. The son of one
of the two passengers, dignified looking

"Now, there is william, said the moth.

along In life. He says he is worth $500,

lives 10 years longer.
YES" said the other old lady, land he
began life In very small way, didn't hes''
"well, I should say he did," was the
answer. "He only weighed six pounds,
and John and never thought we would
raise him." Tho old lady never under
stood why the passengers smiled when they
heard her words. ds.-Chioago Tribune.

He made powerful appeal and many Of

This was spoken by Wesley In tremulous
voice, and his new parishioners at Savan-

their feet by tidal wave Of religious en-
thusiasm. Tradition has IL that several
