Nest positions have their trials as well
as their pleasures and that of pastor of
the Presidents church is no exception to
the rule The pastor of Metropolitan
Church, Rev. Hugh Johnston, DID, is re-
ceiving scores of letters from all over the
country on all sorts of questions connected
Indirectly and directly with the President.
Only a few days ago he received a lettar
from a person evidently from this city,
who signed his last name as "Welles.' in
which he protested against there being a
special sacramental service for the Preci-
dent when he attends church next Sunday.
The writer was evidently n man of educa-
ton and intelligence, but he is laboriug
under a misapprehension of facts which
speak for themselves, namely, that the
President is expected to observe his first
communion in Washington as President
next Sunday at Metropolitan Church. ard
ttat Rev. Bishop John r. Hurst is to ad-
minister 1t to the congregation and not TO
any one in particular. DIR. Johnston has re-
plied in letter to the point which wound
up by advising the writer to change his
paper Numerous other epistles are being
received on kindred subjects connected
with the President and the Metropolitan,
but the most of them from other states
ask DIR. Johnston to use his good offices
to secure them some job or other. Where
these latter show that they are from de-
serving persons DIR. Johnston will answer
them with a circular letter pointing out
the fact that from the very nature of his
DC sition he of all people. is precluded from
asking favors of the President If he did
not pursue this course 1t would take the
entire time of a private secretary to attend
to the correspondence. AS 1t Is the work
of opening and glancing over the letters
Is taking much of his time that Is needed
for other things.

Not for Winter Wear.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
She was rather petite little thing, and
quite handsomely dressed, so two or three
clerks undertook to wait on her at once.
Il want to gain little information in
regard TO styles for the coming summer"
she explained.
Certainly" replied The clerk who had
succeeded in getting to her first Il can
show you the latest fashion plates or give
you a brief description of some of the prin-
cipal novelties, so that you may get some
sort of an idea of what you would like to

That would suit me exactly" she re-
turned. smiling sweetly.
WELL" he explained, determined to do
himself proud, the fashionable skirt this

ment.
..The-the-really fashionable skirt" he
faltered, wondering what could be the
trouble.
THE skirt she cried. What did you
think / asked fcr?"
Something-er-er-for summer wear" he
answered hesitatingly.
"Of course she said. II didn't ask any
thing about winter garments, did I?'
We'll. then. what are you talking about
skirts for? DO look like an old fogy?"
Certainly not. 1 wouldn't intimate such
a thing for a minute
Then trot out the fashions that l asked
for. What's the latest thing in boomers
and bathing suits? Are they to be worn
scant full? Is jockey cap to be the
correct thing for road wear or must get
a yachting cap and put hairpin in 1t so
that 1 can tell 1t from my brothers? :?

"Of course it is." she interrupted. Its

RIDING DOWN THE STEPS.
NheelmeM Who Performed the F'eat I
Before William Shields Did.

Since the publication in The Star yester-
day afternoon of an account of the descent
OF the steps Of the Vest front OF the Capt.
tol by William Shields on safety bicycle
it has been claimed on behalf of two other
wheelmen that they are also entitled to
credit for having accomplished the same
Harry Park and the other is the one
legged professional bicyclist Charles Kill
patrick 1t is said that Fitzpatrick, in the
spring of 1875, while In this city giving ex-
hibtions of trick riding in one of the halls.
rode down the terrace steps on the west
front of the Capitol. This man, II is said
is now III South Africa. astonishing Oom'
Paul Kruger and the members of his Off
cial family. as well as the Ui,landers in
the Transvaal
In November, 1898, Harry Park at
tempted to ride down the steps on the east
front of the Capitol on one wheel. He
used single I6-inch wheel without forks,
handle-bar, seat pedals. simply standing
on the axle and checking his descent with
his hands the tire. He succeeded in
riding down all but eight of the forty-five
steps of the east front, when his wheel col
lapsed. A few days later he took the west
front, and on single wheel rode success
fully down the whole of the sevcnty-two
steps. with the loss of but one spoke.
1t is concededly more difficult to ride
down the steps on the west front of the
Capitol than those on the opposite side.
The pitch is sleeper and there are more
steps, and the three landings to he passed
over render the feat still more hazardous,
as the change in position is so sudden as
| to require the greatest alertness and eX-
| traordinary skill to prevent the rider from
being thrown. Several wheelmen have sue
| cessfully ridden down the east front steps.

THE TARIFF BILL.
.JapnDese and Argentine Ministers
Protest AEninst Some Features.

The japanese and Argentine ministers
have protested to the Secretary of State
against certain features of the pending
tariff bill. The Japanese minister ex-
pressed the regret of his government at
the proposed adoption of silk schedules
that without promising to help out the
manufacturers of the United States
TIN eaten seriously the important trade
Japan has built up at great expense with
the United States in raw and partly man
ufactured silk. The Argentine minister
has protested against the proposed duty
on hides and other raw materials coming
from his country in great quantities to
the United States 1t is pointed out by
him that when the United States in the
Wilson act placed wool on the free list
and placed no duty on hides, the govern
ment of Argentine voluntarily. in recog-
milton CT the friendly spirit shown by the
United States, responded by placing lum-
Der, OF which great stores were exported
TO BuenoS Ayres, on their free list. and
by reducing duties on other important
