LITTLE MISS VANDERBILT.
Two or Three Times "A Week She
Calls at the White House.
From the Baltimore Sun.

FROM the BalumOfe sun.
Washington. April 1S.-Two or three
times a week magnificent equipage is
observed standing along the driveway
fronting the white house, drawn some
times by two bays. An impressive-looking
coachman handles the reins, and beside
him sits a clean-shaven footman, who is
never seen to smile. This carriage has
been coming to the white house since the
first few days after the inauguration. 1t
is the outfit of Cornelius Vanderbilt, the
millionaire New Yorker. who has been
making Washington his home for the past
three months.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has an immense house,
one of the most English residences in the
city, aside from the British embassy
, building. Just In the rear are the big
stables, where Mr.. Vanderbilt keeps six
carriages and twelve horses. His coach
men and footmen number six all told. The
big driver and the big footman are for the
big carriage; for the beautiful red broug-
ham, drawn by lightweight horses, small.
er men are on the box. Just why Wander
bilt carriages are so often at the white
house has puzzled a good many people
who daily pass through the grounds. 1t
was known that the family was in deep
mourning and somber black liveres are
worn by the coachmen and footmen, and
neither Mr. or Mrs. Vanderbilt have Wis
tied since they came TO Washington.
There is a little Miss Vanderbilt, how
ever, not over dozen years old, TO whom
Mrs Mckinley has taken fancy, and
the little lady comes to the white house
and entertains herself and Mrs Mckinley
two or three times a week She Is ac-
companies by a maid always, and the
footman stands at attention under the
port cochere while his mistress is inside
The Vanderbilt carriages are the finest
ever seen IN Washington, and Miss Van
derbilt comes In a different one every
week. The red brougham Is the prettiest
Of the lot and seems more suitable 70 a
young miss than the big barouche that
she frequently drives in.
The stay Of thesVanderbilts in Wash
ington Is drawing 20 a close and they will
soon shut up house and start for the
north. II Is said they are charmed with
Washington az O winter residence and
may decide 70 come here for four or five
months each year

And SO the business of the House runs
on, with points of order and questions of
privilege, discussions and roll calls until
the shades of night begin to appear. Then
Mr.. Dingley or some other leader of the
majority moves that the House adjourn.

hour all the doors are locked. and silence
reigns until the ensuing day.

Last years church statistics" says
London paper, revealed the fact that
in 1890 the number Of men ordained TO holy
orders IN the Church Of England fell 10
70i, which IS. savo FOR the year 1894. the
lowest number known FOR very long lime.
Perhaps the diminishing Incomes OF the
clery may account for this-for no doubt
they are diminishing grievOusly. Or 81
may De that the slow promotion Of curateg
