Mrs. Thomas c. Plat has brought herself
prominently into the public eye through a
statement which she made at a small re-
ception a few evenings ago.
The reception was given in honor of the
wife of prominent senator now very con-
spicuous in Washington, who was spending
few days in New York. During the din
nar the question of notoriety arose, and
each lady present expressed how she felt
concerning the different ways in which she
had been represented to the outside world.
II object to having it said that 1 am in
politics. E" remarked Mrs. Plat. IT frankly
confess that I admire Mr.. Piatts political
acumen and often offer him a few sugges-i
tions,' she added, with a tell-tale look at
the senator, but I never take politics ser-'
ously, and regard it as an amusement and
recreation, just other ladies enjoy max
ing embroidery and practicing riding and
driving. ~
Mrs. Platt is the most transformations
woman ina ginable. She is tall and mat
ronly, with keen dark eyes that immedi-
ately attract an honest person, but are
terror to an unfriendly intruder. Her hair
is dark, verging on grey, and her voice is
low and musical. Mrs. Platt dresses with
rare good taste, and wears very little jew
elry, though she is the owner of some fam
Gus diamonds.

BESSEMER.

Bessemer, February 13.-(Special.) Bees
semer is frozen stiff. Hydrants are use
less, and in many cases kitchen ranges
can not be used owing to water connec-
tons. The water works pond is frozen
afternoon. There were also few impro-
vised sleighs out during the day, but for
the most part the streets have been de-
serted, people preferring to remain indoors
as far possible.
Dealers in coal and wood are reaping
rich harvest and the plumbers little picnic
will no doubt come off on schedule time.
People who have lived here for fifty years
state that never in their experience has
there been anything approaching the cold
of the past two days.
Strange to say, despite the big fires
which 1t has been found necessary to keep
up in all residences and business houses
and the attendant risk to property, there
has been but one alarm of fire. The roof
of the Alabama Great Southern depot was
found to be on fire yesterday afternoon
about 8 o'clock, having caught from a de-
fectfve chimney. It was promptly extini
guished. AS the building is unused, it
would have been a blessing had 1t burned
down, as 1t has long been an eyesore to the
place and source of wonder to the people
of this city, that 50 powerful a railroad or
ganization could remain content to have
such an ugly and insignificant depot at
such an important railroad point as Bes-
semer. This is the most profitable station
on the Alabama Great Southern ro2d.
Universal disappointment was expressed
here at the necessity for the postponement
of the Birmingham carnival, as about all
of Bessemer contemplated attending, but
the wisdom of the Carnival society in post
poning the festivities until some more sea-
sonable time was generally commended.
Philip Erlick, of Columbiana, is in town,
having come up to attend Mardi Gras
Miss Mary Roberts, of Selma, who has
been visiting her sister, Miss Bessie Rob-
erts returned home today.

During the winter she makes her home
with her husband at very fashionable
hotel facing Madison Square, which 10 fam
Gus the world over as the .'hotel where
presidents are made" on account of the
number of distinguished politicians who re-
side here and the large political committees
that have their headquarters in It
Until recently Mrs. Platt always accom-
panied her husband to state and national
conventions, and had an extensive knowl-
edge of national politicians, but of late ner
health has interfered with travel. She is
clever business woman, and attends to
her several interests herself. Mrs Platt
does not care for women's clubs nor does
she lavish her time on charities, but she
does great amount of good OF which no
one knows except herself and the parties
befriended.
That she is thoroughly feminine Is shown
by Mrs. Platt's extreme fondness for cats.
Inc walls of her apartments are adorned
with portraits of famous feline beauties,
and it is said that she owns a famous An
CORA that has been trained to do every
thing-except wear Partisan gowns, and
this Nine Tabby refuses to do, for she abb
hors all things foreign.
Mrs. Plat is a devoted wife, mother and
grandmother. Her favorite grandchild is
her namesake, little Ellen Barstow Plat.

How much in six years? AT that rate, how

herman, the new leader of the liberal party,
dress by traversing the whole ground of
Lord Salisbury's foreign policy that the
opposition has chosen that subject as the
chief weapon of attack.
He made decided hit in his debut as lib
eral leader, is a very able and ambitious
man and 1t is admitted that during his
tenure of office under Lord Rosebery he
made the best war minister Great Britain
has had in twenty years. His getting rid
of the Duke of Cambridge as commander
in-chief of the forces was a masterpiece of
tact and diplomacy as it was accomplished
in the face of a fierce court opposition.
The American Plan
remark of Lord Salisbury's in replying
to Lord Kimberiy's criticism of the gov
ernments reticenoe regarding foreign mat
tors to the effect that the advantage the
United States had over Great Britain was
the possession of a foreign relations COM
mittee, has attracted considerable attention.
The premier expressed envy at the position
OF the American secretary of state, al
though he added that such a system is ut
terly impracticable here. The papers have
now taken the matter up and ask, If the
system was SO superior, why the American
institution should not be copied. The ST.
James Gazette declines to believe 1t obvious
that reform is utterly impracticable and
says: "The Washington committee works,
we know, in such a way as to excite the
envy of our prime minister"
Continuing, the st. James Gazette urges
the establishment of such a committee,
than which we cannot conceive anything
better fitted to ensure the desired continuity
of foreign policy
This is very fiattering testimony of the
superiority of the American institution from
a paper which seldom finds anything praise
