THIRD LADY
Of the Land Is Admiral Dewey's
Wife.
Anxious to Take the Hero Into
Society.
TIE ADMIRAL IN CHURCH.
Young George May Marry and
Occupy the Nations Gift.
TIE ADMIRAL IN CHURCH.

The matter of social precedence at
Washington is sgitating the gossips.
Authorities on official etiquette say
that the Presidents wife is first, Vice
Presidents wife second, wife of Sir
Julian Pauncefote third, and the wife
of the Admiral fourth. The death of
Hobart advances Lady Psuncefote
one number and makes Mrs. Dewey
the third lady in the land.
1t seems certain the Admiral's wife
intends TO take a plunge into society
with her hero. Dewey has already
taken steps to become vestrymsn in
ST. Johns Episcopal Church. S..
Johns is an open door to society.
The first Sunday Dewey was in
Washington he passed the plate at
st. Johns, and will sub for absent
vestryman at every opportunity. He
will be put on regular as soon as the
chance occurs.

PRINCE OF JAPAN
will Have a Steel Palace De-
signed and Made by
Americans.

Chicago engineers are designing an
earthvuake-proof steel palace for the
Crown Prince of Japan. The Impe-
rial Government has appropriated
100000 for its erection.
Around the skeleton of beams and
bars will be built house of granite
and marble expected to eclipse in
beauty of design anything the Orient
has ever known. The palace will ad-
join the royal home OF the Mikado in
Tokyo, and it will spread to extreme
dimensions of 270 by 400 feet, rising
to height of 60 feet. Chief Archi-
tect of the Imperial Household De-
partment of Japan visited America
during the fall to let contracts.
Richard D. Gottlieb, young Cica-
cagosn, will go to Tokyo early next
year to superintend the instillation.
Another Chicago engineer was called
upon to map out an elaborate heating
and ventisting plant. In addition to
these American brains will also con-
tribute ali ice manufacturing and
electric light system.
Steel construction, with it's rigid
elasticity, is expected to revolutionize
the building industry in the MiKado's
land, where earthquakes have on sew
eral occasions played havoc with
structures supposedly solid. The new
palace will rest on 400 deeply anchor
ed steel columns imbedded in concrete
piers.-Chicago Record. .'

Politics as a Business.

A good joke which Congressman
John Allen is supposed to have
sprung on himself during the recent
Mississippi Senatorial campaign is
now going the rounds. He j. report
ed to have been telling about visit
to his old home, where he met one OF
the old family servants.
"Lawsy, Mars John, Use glad to see
ye,". said one old negress, IAN so glad
to know dat you'se still got yer same
old posishun."
"What's thst2" asked Mr.. Allen.
"Whv, runnin' for Office, o. cose.'

SUSAN B. ANTHONY
Explains Der Position Regarding
the Anti Polygamy
Movement.

No person could abhor polygsmy
more than myself, but l detest even
more the license taken by men under
the loose morals existing in what the
mornons call the Gentle world
The point is not that 1 uphold polygs-
my, or any of it's expotents, but 1 do
feel more charity for Mormon when
he trsnsgresses the laws of the land,
when he has been taught from his
birth that it is not only mis- right, but
his duty to God, to enter into plural
marriage, and that the man who has
the greatest number of wives stands
highest in Gods favor than do for
the man who has been taught from
his cradle that the objectionable sin
is the dissertation of womanhood.
His religious trainins and the moral
code of civilization in which he Is
reared all make it crime for a man
to violate the seventh commandment
or the established law of monogamy.
Yet, judging from the testimony
to see all about us--our Doors of
Hope, our lyingin and founding hos
pitals, and our fallen womanhood-
the married or single man who lives
pure life is rare. Therefore l have
more respect for the Mormon polyga-
mist, who follows his teachings and
lives up to the traditions of his relig-
ious sect by marrying the different
women with whom he lives, support
ing them and their h ldren, than do
for the man who defies public opinion
and in the light OF our advanced civil
izstion and religions moral teaching
gives his name and his support to one
openly while secretly Decorating the
lives of other women, thus commit
ing a crime against his lawful wife as
we'll as the other woman or women
whom he wrongs. If he has no wife
the sin is as great against morality,
and he should suffer equally with the
woman.
Therefore, while abhoring the prin-
ciples of polygsmy, think the wives
and the mothers OF the East might
better enter . crusade against the i'm
morality exciting all around US and
polluting our manhood, and leave 1t to
our law makers to settle the matter OF
Roberts's fitness to be their associ-
| ate In Congress.
II women would require the same
moral purity in man that men require
| in women, and II mothers would re-
fuse to entertain in their homes or
give their sweet, virtuous Young
daughters to men whom they know
to have trsnsgressed the moral code,
society would soon undergo purifi-
cation-s revolution. II our women
( would take this decidedS stand il
would strike the strongest, most decis-
i've blow at polygsmy, for the root OF
the two evils--polygamy in Utah and
immortality in the Esst---is the same
thing, and nothing but the highes,
moral teaching and the example Of
pure lives can blot out either.

WANTS TO ENTER POLITICS.

Besides her social aim, Mrs. Dewey
is determined to enter political cam
paigD. One evidence of this has al
ready occurred. 1t WAS embodied
in Crowninshields version of the
Manila affair, to the effect that there
Is no proof that Manila bay was filed
with torpedoes and mines. The re-
port intimates that the act of entering
the harbor Of Manila looses much OF
ito heroism. The Admiral rstorted
with sharp letter TO the Secretary of
the Navy, stating that hereafter he
desired to be the sole historian of the
Manila fight. Ho was informed
that hi. wishes would be respected,
and the Crowninshield report was
withdrawn.
