Beef worth More Than Pork.

One day while MFR. Minick, private secre-
tary to Postmaster General Villas, was en-
crossed in departme ntal work, his mind
was diverted by a conversation between
the two messengers. Ross was trying to
instruct Cruso, new recruit, in the rudi-
ments of arithmetic. The first example
was:

beef at 5 cents pound; what would it

LEES WASHINGTON VISIT

1t is not generally known, says the Rich
mond Dispatch, that Gen. Robert E. Lee
visited Washington and even went as
far north as Baltimore, after the close of
the late war He was summoned before
O committee of Congress, which was
styled a committee on the conduct OF
the war; md in response came here. The
thing was done as quietly as possible, but
somehow it leaked out here that he was
coming.
He left Lexington without the knowledge
of any but his intimate family, and would
have entered the capt unheralded and
unkn but for some Off cial who
whispered the news confidentiany to a
friend that the great Southern chieftain
was coming. That was enough. It spread
ike wildfire and in a few hours it was the
talk OF the town. AS the result an inn
mense concourse OF people assembled on
the Avenue and surrounded the PennsyL
vania depot, anxious to get a glimpse
of the famous commander of the army of
northern Virginia. When he did arrive
it took the entire police force of the city
to clear way so as to get the general
out and into hack' the driver of which
had to fight his way to the Capitol,
though he was preceded by a mounted
escort.
Gen. Lee was only here few hours,
and then left for Baltimore, where a sim
liar scene ensued, except that there his
arrival was marked by the widest and
most enthusiastic cheering of multitude.
He returned TO Lexington after two or
three days absence, and it is stated that
the trip referred to was one of the two
or three only that he ever made during
his residence in that town and beyond
the limits of his native and beloved State

got near enough to the beautifully set
tables to admire them, for no banquet hall
of modern date ever had a richer setting
than this one-elegant china, silver, flowers,
and all in the blaze of a thousand electric
lights.
Ranged along the walls of the new
kitchen were thirty newest Paris ranges,
thirty chefs presided over each with his
retinue OF servants, since everything has
TO go by rule and regulation, or there would
be a time of it in serving this magnificent
supper. Here soups were made and latieled
out, croauettes fried and coffee boiled by
the cauldIon full. This kitchen took three
weeks to build, cost Mr.. Essner So 500 to
equip, and 1t has got to go, according to Uon-
tract, within foIty-eight hours after The
inaugural cerem onies are over. A great
deal OF this supper was prepared in advance
in the kitchens of the Bourse, Philadelphia,
and brought over on special train, but
oysters and soups had to be prepared in
Washington to insure their freshness.

GOVERNOR ASA BUSHNELL
AND THE OHIO SITUATION

Gov. Asa S. Bushnell, of Ohio, perhaps
the best known in a national sense of all
the governors here, is serving his first
political office ofany particular Importance.
Gov. Bushnell is O new factor in Ohio
politics. For years he has been known as
one of the most progressive and successful
manufacturers of the Buckeye State. His
home is In Springfield, where he has a
great manufacturing establishment pro-
iducing various kinds of agricultural i'm
pleinents. Gov. Bushnell is the political
product OF Senator Joseph Benson Foraker.
1t was through the nlanipulations an
aged by Mr.. Foraker at tue famous Zanes-
vile convention in 1895 that Mr.. Bushnell
was nominated for governor; and it was
agreed further that Mr.. Foraker should be
Senator and that the State of Ohio should
be solid for Ma jor Mckinley for President.
This compact was in the nature of an
agreement to the effect that the Ohio Re
publicans would at least once in a genera
ton be harmonious. All understandings
were faithfully kept and harmony was su-
perabundant until after the election, when
the President-elect selected SelatOr 81 e.
man for his Secretary of State and asked
that Mark A. Hanna be appointd as his
successor.
This was the signal for fight. and
for time Gov. Bushnell fairly kicked,
and acted not unlike runaway
colt, SO fearful was he that with
Hanna once in the Senate he would be
able 10 succeed himself through the
generosity OF the next legislature.
Gov. Bushnell had his eagle eye also set
upon the Senate and for time he showed
a disposition not TO be tanned This did
not last long. The lariat was taken
from it's hiding place in Cleveland, and
i'll the hands OF Mark Hanna, the bucking
governor was soon promising to write
certificate of appointment
AT one time Gov. Bushnell said he was
not coming to see Mr. Mckinley inaugu-
rated. The reason, it was supposed, grew
out of the fact that he was angry with
Hanna and the new President. He ap-
peared to have seen the handwriting on
the wall, and he could read it.
1t said that Hanna was boss and
the only thing Co do was to getin the band
wagon Whereupon the governor with his
staff OF dasbing officers, each wearing
hundreds OF yards of gilt braid, are con-
splcuons figures in the ceremonies Gov.
Bdshhell viii he candidate for re-elec-
ton and If he ever serves his second term
he will hope TO get into the Senate.
1t seems to be we'll established fact.
however, that Gov Bushnell will measure
swords with Mr. Hanna before the next
legislature for Senatorial honors, and
some people in Ohio think he can knock
the persmmon.

Mrs. McKinler,s Co,npapionship.

Mrs. McKinIey's health has not been
good since the death OF her two children In
the early years of her marriage. But,
while this has colored her life, her re-
markable will has never permitted it TO
shape it. She has been in the truest sense
her husbands companion She has grown
with him through every stage of his career.
Majo Mckinley has been in Congress for
seven terms; for two terms he has been
0hio's chief executive; he has travelled
thousands of miles as a campaigner. At
every step Mrs. Mckinley has been by his
side. In Washington and at Columbus she
presided at the head of his household, and
the longest railroad journey, the most
exciting incidents OF the stump, were not
too exhauSting for her to endure. She
might not ne able to perform many of the
little domestic lsbors of the housewife,
but she was fitted through the original
force of her nature to be the companion OF
her husband.

Ii was Sunday on the commons. Two
little ragged fellows had been in the habit
OF playing together. BY some stroke of
good luck, one of them had obtained a
whole suit OF good clothes.
To best describe his new-found import
ance is to Iiken him to Aesop's jackdaw.
His ragged little friend, wounded by the
changed demcanor. called him by every
name that he. had ever heard The lad Of
the new clothes drew himself up to his
full height, and with dignity worthy of
a diplomat, merely replied:
.'Ail dem things dat yo' says is, yo' is

And he walked off. much to the chagrin
OF his small friend, who had hoped to get
chance at those new clothes.
