GENERAL WASHINGTON
NEWS. AND GOSSIP.

AuGustus II. GsrIand.-The sudden
and dramatic ending of the career OF for
mer Attorney General A. II. Garland. of
Arkansas, while arguing a case before the
Supreme Court yesterday was n great
shock to his many friends and acquaint-
ances in Washington. Since his retirement
from Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet In 1889, Mr..
Garland has been engaged in the practice
of his profession in this city. He had
remunerative practice. and was highly re-
garded by the members of the bar. The
last years of Mr.. Garland's life. however,
were filled with sadness and affliction. He
has often been referred to as a victim of
the Cleveland blight. Mr.. Garland's bad
luck seemed to date from the time he ac
cepted the post of Attorney General in
1885. Up to that time his career had been
remarkably successful and free from any
unpleasant incidents. He occupied what
was practically life position in the Sen
ate, as his State was certain to re-elect
him as often as he desired. The place
was congenial TO him, and he had no desire
to leave it. He did so reluctantly and
against his better judgment Mr.. Garland
and Mr.. Bayard had "A great deal in COM
mon. They were lifelong friends and asso-
ciates, and their relations were very inti-
mate. They talked over the matter of
iS"NihS the SENATE 10 go INTO tne CABINET,
and both were opposed to the idea strong
iy. 1t was their deliberate judgment that
they could be of more service to their
party and to the country by remaining
in the Senate. but they finally yielded to
the arguments of their friends and placed
themselves in Mr.. Cleveland's hands
Probably there never was moment after
ward that each man did not bitterly regret
his action. Early in Mr.. Clevelands first
term the Pan electric scandal was devel-
oped. 1t was more of a tempest in tea
pot than anything else, as most everyone
today realizes: but it was sufficient at the
time TO place a cloud over Mr. Garland's s
name. 1t probably prevented Mr. Gar
lands appointment on the Supreme Court
bench. Mr.. Cleveland has been sharply
criticised by Mr.. Garland's friends for his
failure to do Mr., Garland justice and vim
dicate him in the eyes of the world Mr..
Garland bore his official trials and his
subsequent domestic affiiction with the
true fortitude of a brave and honorable
man. He made no complaints, and did
not undertake to pose as man with a
grievance. That he felt Mr. ClPve!and's
treatment of himself keenly was shown by
the fact that he did not cross the threshold
OF the White House once during Mr. Cleve-
lands second Administration

Thomas c. Plntt. Orntor.-The an
nouncement by Senate: Plat of New York
yesterday that he would address the SEN
ate today on the Vest resolution took a
good many people by surprise. The popu-
lar impression has been that Mr. Platt
could not make a speech that he had
none OF the gifts of oratory which years
ago used TO be regarded as an essential
part OF statesman's equipment Mr.
PIatt has frequently referred to himself
as worker and not ''talker." At
a dinner in New York not long since he
said in introducing Mr.. Depew. MY col
league in the Senate must be talker.
am only worker" However Mr. Platt
has upon number of occasions OF a semi
private character shown that he is quite
capable OF taking care of himself on his
feet. He has n direct incisive style and
goes right TO the point. He is not easily
embarrassed. and if Senator Hoar or any
oil the chronic interrupters in the Senate
undertake TO have fun" with Mr. Platt to-
day they Will probably get more than thev
bargained for. Mr.. Platt's greatest handi-
cap as public speaker is his voice Il
mas not the clear carrying quality of the
finished orator, and yet if reports can
be credited, Senator Platt's faintest wbis-
pers sometimes have been heard and heed
ed above the roar and eloquence of ffty
Choates. 1t has been intimeted in some
quarters that Senator Platt has decided TO
enter the oratorical field in order to fore
stall Mr.. Depew He is not willing. it is
said, that Mr., Depew shall carry off all
the honors in that line Senator Platt's
debut in the Senate will be awaited with
interest. If he can do anything to choke
up or keep down the eloquence of Our
Chaancey" in the Senate he will be clearly
entitled 10 some reward from the public.

Alger's examination" before his Relief
Commission yesterday was not sensational
and no one expected it 10 be. Mr.. Alger
having Eagan's horrible example as
guide was careful TO refrain from saying
anything that would give offence to any-
one The questions put to him by Mr.
Beaver, acting as spokesman for the Com
mission, were not calculated to ruffe Mr.
Algers temper seriously, or to draw cut
anything of any human interest The Re
lief Workers were plainly sensible of the
responsibilities resting on their shoulders
while Mr.. Alger was on the stand. They
were apparently afraid that Mr.. Alger
might say something that would damage
his case. The crowning act of suhserv-
iency. however, came Just before Mr
Alger left the stand, when General Beaver
inquired whether MIR. Alger wished to
volunteer" any information Mr.. Alger
promptly replied that he did not The
Relief Workers had exhausted the list Of
questions they had been told to ask. but
just TO round out the affair Mr.. Alser was
invited TO relieve his mind In any direc-
tion that he saw fit There never has
been much doubt but that the report of
the Relief Commission would "vindicate"
Mr. Alger. After yesterdays exhibition
it would seem TO be settled beyond a
question Mr.. Alger is to be ''vindicated"
all right by General Credit Mobilier
Dodge and his associates. but who will vim
dicate the Alger Relief Commission?
What is interesting the President 1t
is understood, more than anything else in
connection with Mr.. Alger's case, is how
soon ne will relieve his Administration of
his presence by rendering his resignation

The Tight Skirts.

Skirts are growing tighter and tight
er and all manner of little eXpedlents
are being resorted to do away with the
least superfluous wrinkles. Under
clothes, in accordance with the cut of
the gown, are made extremely narrow,
but one petticoat is worn, and that is
fitted with a glove-tight, bell-shaped
top, and corsets are worn over all the
underclothes. This scheme o: wearing
the corsets over the underskirt is one
that has been advocated by modistes
for some time. What is entirely an in
novation, though, is a little device, too
simple to patent, but that will be easily
recognized as a boon. The tight dress
skirt If of smooth cloth invariably
shows the outline Of the corset beneath

Progressive Peanut Party.

A progressive peanut party is con-
Quoted after the manner Of Jack
Straws. For this purpose small tables
are arranged at different points OF the
room, according to the number of
guests invited, allowing each table to
four players. In the center of each are
piled up pint of peanuts, and by its
side pair Of bonbon tongs, which can
be purchased for a few cents each. At
given signal, or by the sounding Of a
gong, the game is begun and played on
the same principle precisely as the
old-fashioned Jack Straws, the peanuts
taking the place of the straws, while
the tongs take that Of the hook. Time
is called, and the scores kept similar
to any progressive game, when the
winner for each table mounts UP to
the next, and another game is begun.
At, the conclusion Of the allotted time
scores are compared and prizes award
ed to the lucky ones, the same regular
ity being preserved as in cards.

Free Hair Dressing.

Some one said once that you could

looking little woman, the head of the
hair dressing establishment, and gath
cred around the chair were half dozen
white-coated young men, watching the
process Of the work and occasionally
giving assistance. And that is how the
apprentice or student in hairdressing
gains his experience, and the clever
women who are in touch with the trick
get their hair dressed for nothing.

this SO easily that one wonders why
nobody ever thought OF it before. 1t
is just a band of silk elastic sewed to
the bottom of the corset. The elastic
should be fully an inch or more wide.
1t must be stretched while being sewed
on, placed, OF course, on the outline OF
the corset and stitched with the CEN
ter of the band exactly covering the
corset edge. In this way the elastic
extends half an inch below the corset
and completely erases the outline.
Ball robes are gorgeous in heavy
satin embroidered with small spangles,
but the embroidery may not be heavy.
The spangles are Of the finest and
worked in graceful tracing-not in
solid mass. The style is somewhat
