AS MANY LIVES AS A CAT.
Queer Little Story That Is Told of
a Foreign Diplomat and Amer
lean Women.

These are the days of exaggerated
speech, when simile runs into hyper
bole. In illustration g. queer little
story is going the rounds which may
we'll be taken to heart by those con-
cerned. A latelyarrived diplomat who
has been enjoying the summer at one
of the most fashionable watering places
had an American friend as his guest.
During some conversation concerning
the country the diplomat, in reply to
a question as to what impressed him
most, replied: ''The most noticeable
thing which has struck my foreign
mind is, according to their own testi-
mony, the extreme delicacy and physi-
cal weakness of the American women,
young and old. There is hardly an
hour that I do not hear some of them
proclaim that they are dying. They
die of the heat, they die of the cold !;
they die of laughter and they die of
grief And then, again, I have heard
the expression: 7 just expired with
surprise Of course this last [ know
to be a joke. But it certainly is curious
to note the extent to which American
womanhood is drifting to the grave,
if the statistics of their own proclama-
tons of the facts are reliable. It is
really wonderful" So solemn was the
Mortified diplomat that his auditor is
at loss to know whether he was seri-
Gus or not. His name is withheld be-
cause on nothing are diplomats so sensi-
tive as to be published in criticism OF
the fair sex

WASHINGTON T,nitnv

FROM oar Regular Correop Judent.1
WASHINGTON. November 10, $780,
President Mckinley and the mem
bers of his cabinet held an impromptu
Qualification over the magnificent en-
elorsement of the foreign and domes-
tic policy Of the administration by
the voters in the state elections. In
every state where the campaign WAS
sqnarely made on national issues the
Republicans were victorious. The
Democratic success In Maryland had
no significance whatever, being merely
another proof of the maxim that "a
house divided against itself can not
stand" President Mckinley was not
surprised at the size of Judge Nash's
plurality in Ohio, as he told Senator
Clark, OF Wyoming, several weeks ago
that 1T would probably be between
10000 and 10000, and made the
very same prediction to Senator
Pritchard, of North Carolina, the day
before election. Secretary Gage is es-
peclally pleased at the largely in
creased Republican majorities In
Iowa, where the platform came out
dat-footed for the single gold stand
ard, and In Massachusetts where At
kinson and other "little Americans
have been trying so hard to create a
sentiment against President McKin-
ley's Philippine policy. Secretary
Gage said: "The Republican party
ought to congratulate itself on the
result in all directions. / am pleased
