A Rochester woman, whose husband OBJ
jected to the bicycle on general principles,
went to riding academy IN his absence
and commenced to take lessons. When the
head of the house returned she had be-
come a mistress of the wheel, SAYS the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle She
was much troubled as to how she would
go about telling her husband that she had
learned to ride. She finally hit upon a
scheme
One afternoon she surprised her hus-
band by asking him TO go to the riding
academy with her and watch some of her
friends learn to ride. He thought 1t
would be rare fun, and so went along. On
arriving there she surprised him still more
by selecting a wheel and attempting to
mount it. After number of attempts she
succeeded, and rode in a zig-zag fashion
and her husband began 20 be afraid that
she would injure herself. Suddenly she

The Suspender of Old Age.

There are many signs indicating that
old age is coming on man." remarked
an aged gentleman to a Washington Star
reporter. but one of the surest is when
he finds that his suspenders have a way
Of slipping off the shoulders At first he
thinks there is something wrong with the
suspenders, and he tries to remedy it by
tightening them up. For a while this
cures the trouble but in a little while
there is more slipping and he gets new
pair of suspenders. Even they slip off
and make him feel uncomfortable. After
a while he discovers the trouble is not
with the suspenders, but with himself. As
years roll on a man gets more and more
round shoudered. and unless he has his
suspenders braced up by connecting them
with band behind the shoulders he can
not keep them up. 1 remember, some
years ago, hearing two very prominent
men speaking on the fact that they were
getting old. One Of them was at the time
Vice President of the United States, and
the other was a leading senator What
makes you thing you are growing old?'
one OF them asked the other. I found it
out, was the reply as soon as 1 discov-
cred that my suspenders would not stay
up. That has been my experience also.
came from the questioner. Neither of the
gentlemen referred to had yet reached his
SEVENTEEN year. but they had both dis
covered that they were growing old by the
same incident in their lives. Il have never
known it to fail. After a man reaches
80 his shoulders grow round steadily. and
by the time he is 70 his shoulders have
lost all their original size and formation. -

Story of Tamarnn.

Several years ago, when the tenor Tam
agno was down in Chile, wealthy young
woman made him a gorgeous present. 1t
was a gold cigarette case, literally incrust-
ed on both sides with diamonds, his mi
tails being formed on one side with emer-
aids, hers on the other with rubies. 1t
was, perhaps, the most costly cigarette
case of its kind ever manufactured, SAYS
the United States Tobacco Journal
Tamagno is "A tremendously big fellow
with a chest like that of Bob Fitzsimmons
and voice like that of the bull of Bashan.
He is said to be most frugal creature
Whether or not he reciprocated the Chill
can lady's passion don't know; possibly
he didn't; for all great tenors are cold. At
any rate, he left Chile at the end of his
season, and when he next appeared there
the lady was married and the mother of
flock of young Chileans He had kept
the cigarette case, however; carried 1t al
was with him in the upper left pocket Of
his waistcoat
The lady who gave him the cigarette
case became widow a year or so ago and
last February was in Rome. So was Ia
magno.
1t is said they came upon each other at
a carnival ball on the eve Of Ash Wednes-
day. Mighty few words were spoken. The
lady drew out a stiletto and promptly
made lunge at the tenor's heart Her
blow struck something hard and the sti-
letto was broken off short She said. in
her sentimental fashion, that it was the
tenor's hard heart But 1t wasn't; it was

Mrs. William C. sibley of Augusta, pres
ident of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union in Georgia, has taken steps
to keep the union out of the woman suf-
frage movement. The selection of the
place for the convention this year was left
to her, and a number of cities and towns
put in an application for it. Sandersville
sent in an invitation with the specific con-
dition attached that womans suffrage
should not be mentioned either in public
or private. and Mrs. Slbley has accepted
Il. Mrs. Sibleys stand will be commend
ed. The temperance cause is one thing
that does not require the doctrines once
preached by Phoebe Cousins TO make It
effective. There may be fewer delegates
at the convention. but It's proceedings will
be devoted to the cause for which the
association was organized.

Official circles in Washington are now
dividing their attention between tariff,
arbitration and ietiquette. Mr.. Bailey's
coat started the discussion of the last
named subject, which has now grown to
international proportions and is receiving
the distinguished consideration of such
high officials as the President and the
ambassador of her majesty the queen of
England.
1t seems that the point of discussion
turns upon the matter of precedence at
dinners and social functions. Ambassa-
dor Pauncefote the other day declined an
invitation to a swell social function be
cause 1t was understood that some other
distinguished foreigner, not of as high
rank as himself, was to be given the posi-
ton of honor at the dinner table. Sir
Julian holds that, being the direct and
personal representative Of a sovereign, he
is entitled to be considered as only sec
ond to the President himself, and thai
when he accepts an invitation to dine, ne
is to be preceded by the President alone
or some other ambassador of a sovereign.
He does not propose to give way even to
the Vice President or the members of the
cabinet, or to the ladies of their house
holds. Unless he is given the position to
which he thinks his rank entities him, he
will not attend the dinner.
To democratic Americans it may seem
that there is a good deal of unnecessary
Importance placed upon this matter of po-
sition at table; that the real consideration
about going to dinner is getting there,
and securing a comfortable seat which
is not unhandy TO the walters But the
peoples of the moss-grown east are great
sticklers for precedence, which makes it
necessary for certain circles of American
society to conform to similar regulations.
Official America cannot well cut loose
from Europe, and "go 1t alone" on this
matter of etiquette, whatever we may say
about cutting loose on matters of internal
policy. Ambassadors have the call in
foreign courts, and we are now sending
out some ambassadors. An ambassador
can walk into a foreign office and hold
his conference with the official inside,
while mere minister is required to cool
his heels in the lobby and await his turn
among a lot of other ministers represent
ing small fry powers and principalities.
Whether Sir Julian's contention will be
upheld by the President-for it is his
prerogative TO pass upon the social Gus
toms OF MISUNDERSTANDING to be seen
1t is understood that his attention will
be given to it before long. 1t is TO be
hoped that he will be able to dispose of 1t
speedily For there are some small af-
fairs of political and economic import
ance. wkich may later lay claim to his
time.

During the closing hours of the LIVth
congress three members of the Million
aires Club" as the Senate has often been
called, were sitting in a committee room
condoling with each other over the expira-
ton of their public life, says the Wash
ington letter to the Chicago Record. Said
one of them, and he came from an eastern
state: Il have an offer from a business
concern to look after its business inter-
ests in Washington which will pay me
about as much as my senatorial salary,
and l think / will accept it, If 1 do
however l shall have to give up all hope
OF reelection and consider my political
career ended"
Il would be mighty glad to give up my
political prospects" said No. 2 who had
been in public life for more than a third of
a century, for such a job. or anything
else for that matter that will bring me
bread and butter. 1 have lost all my
practice, and it will be mighty hard work
to get it back again. / haven't the slight
est encouragement for the future. The
only thing I can do is to go back home,
work in my garden and raise enough vege-
tables to feed my family. 1 have de-
cided to try it, and wait for something to
turn up"
Il have no home to go to. have no gar
den to work in, and 1 haven't enough
money 10 pay my expenses there II L mad

third member OF the group. II have been
in public life since 1861" he continued
thirty-six years, and all the money 1 have
is in my pocket this morning. / don't
know what l am going to do" and in
melancholy tones, often with a sob in his
voice, the venerable senator described the
hopelessness of his future.
II was only few days ago that Sena-
tors German and Allison We're discussing
Mr.. Voorhees, situation and trying to
contrive some method by which he could
be made comfortable for the rest OF his
life. They could see no way to give him
a pension. There was no position on the
government list to which he could be APP
pointed. So the only thing to be done was
to create one with duties that would not
be too irksome for a man of his feeble
health and a salary sufficient to keep the
wolf from the door. The situation of Mr.
Voorhees, is not unique There are sew
eral members of the Senate whose finan-
cial condition would answer the descrIp-
ton he gave of his own, and yet that
body Is called the "Mllionaires' Club"

RepubIIcnn Incon.Istency,

Senator Vest was not able to keep his
resolution, directed against Secretary
Cages order in anticipation of the retro
active clause of the Dingley bill. out of
the pigeon-ho In the finance committees
room. But he succeeded in directing the
attention Of the country to the iniquitous
ex post facto feature of the bill, and in
forcing the chairman of the finance COM
mittee, Senator Morrill,, to show the in
consistency Of his party.
Mr. Morrill, expressed the hope" says
the report that there would be no pre-
mature debate on a tariff bill not before
the Senate" And yet Senator Vest was
attacking an official order issued for the
purpose of making effective a provision of
this tariff bill which was not yet before
the Senate!
According to the republicans, 1t is not
permissible to discuss a bill in the Senate
before 1t comes out of the committee; but
it is both permissible and desirable that
such bill shall reach out into the busi-
ness world to strangle trade If it suits
party expediency to have it do So Could
anything be more inconsistent with and
buttons?
Secretary Cages order was directed TO
customs officials, and instructed them to
retain samples Of imported merchandise
entered after April I, and also to delay
final Hquidations of goods entered for con-
sumption 1t was distinctly stated in the
order that the action was predicated
upon the pending tariff bill. The secre-
tary, Furthermore, in statement sent to
the Senate, repeated that the order was
based upon the retroactive clause of the
Dingley bill, Notwithstanding it was is
sued under authority of law governing
the collection of customs. The effect of
the order, therefore as Senator Vest says,
is to set aside and supercede the existing
law, in favor of a tariff bill which, so far
from being law, has not YET been reported
to the Senate.
