SPOILED HER VIEW OF BRIDE.

There is such thing as heinz too polite, and I am sure there is at least one woman in tcIwn who will agree with me. She is the wife of 9 member of the presidents cabinet. and when she thinks of ultra politeness I am sure the Japanese minister comes in her mind. It happened at the wedding of the chief justices daughter on Wehr nesday. The cabinet minister's wife was politely early in arriving, and was shown ito that most coveted of posi- tions at a fashionable wedding-an aisle seat. As she gracefully seated herself it was pain from her manner that even she was not above enjoying the prospect of an unobstructed view of iJhe ibride, but scarcely was she set tied in the end of the pew before the Japanese minister came in. AS deli cate mark of attention he was shown to the pew occupied by the grande dame. She bowed to him. He bowed to her. She bowed again, evidently expecting him to pass into the pew and leave her seated in the end of it. He bowed again, and lower than before. Hs was far tco polite to crowd into tho saat in front of a lady. She looked at him. He looked at her. Then she arose and moved down the pew. The perfectly unsusDecting ultra polite occupied the aisle seat the ceremony, and you might have thought there was disap- pointment on the face of the great lady next h:fn if you hadn't marked the twinkle in her eye.-Wlsttngt0n Post

KNITTING Is FASHIONABLE

Knitting is the present fad, and a very insistent one it is. The knitting bag is seen everywhere, and t is quite the thing for the fashionable beauties to ply the shining needles at afternoon teas or at more pretentious affairs when the men are at their wine and cigars. The fad is on the schedule for the summer campaign, and it will be an interesting study in contrasts to observe the athletic girl in golfng cos tune and bicycle toggery demurely knitting on the club house verandas. Can it be that the old fashioned virtue of industry is about to get it's old time recognition from the new time fash ionables? It would seem so.-New York Journal.

JEFFERSON A "LADY'S MAN"

Jefferson was . ''lady's man" He was noted as a gallant all over Vir- ginia. He had one serious love affair while in college with a young woman named Belinda, who lived at Carter's Grove, a famous old place near Will liamsburg, the seat of William and Mary college, where he was educated He afterward married a widow whose acquaintance he made at Williams burg while he was studying law Her name was Martha Skelton. Her fath- CT was a MT. Wayles, a planter who had fine place callGl '"The Forests |" a few miles from the city They seemed to be attracted to each other by their musical tastes. He was da- voted to the violin and she played an accompaniment upon the harpischord He has left a number of letters con corning his courtship, which are pub llshed in his biographies, and indicate that he was not off with his old love before he was on with the new.
 He had considerable trouble adjust ing his conduct to the satisfaction of his own conscience. The story goes that he was spurred into an engage ment with Martha Skelton by the liv- airy of two of his friends, with whom he came to an understanding that they should draw cuts for the first proposal. If she rejected the first he was to retire and give the next a chance, and if he was not accepted tie third was at liberty to propose. Jef. ferso1 drew namber one, and started for the Wayles plantation His rivals followed him, and hung over the hedge, listening to the music as he played duets with his love- They con- cluded from the tones of his instru- ment that his wooing was successful and walked home discons o1ate-Chi- cago Record

COUNT WiTTE
 AND THE CHAR

In order to understand the situation at St. Petersburg it is necessary to bear in mind that the empress dowager is bitterly opposed to Count Witte, who is the most enlightened, prcgres- give and capable man in Russia today. Indeed, it is doubtful whether there has been any parsonage in Russia dur ing the last hundred years to whom the Russian people owe So deep a debt of gratitude as Count Witte, unless it be Alexander II, who abolished serf- dom. This being the case. it is a mat ter of satisfaction to all the friends of Russia abroad to learn that the em- peror, in spite of the strong opposition of his mother, has intrusted the coun. with a degree of power and responsi- bilbty well nigh without parallel. Count Witte, in addition to the office of minister to France, which he has held until now, has been further ap- pointed minister of the interior. As such he becomes chief of the police, and likewise of all the provincial gov ernors, who in their turn exercise yir- tually autocrattc pclwers in the dis tricts subject to their rule Even the
 
 dence in his scleverness and integrity, was reluctant at first to vest such ex- tensive powers in his hands. But Nicholas gave way in difference to the advice of his grand-uncle, old Duke Michael, who recently has modified his political views to a very great extent, and allying himself with the progres- sive party, has become one of the most stanch friends and supporters of Witte.
 The counts ally in the cabinet is Prince Khilkoff, minister of railroads and public works, who spent a num- Der of years in this country in the railroad business, working his way up from fireman of a locomotive to head of the machine shops of the New York Central railroad. The counts two chief opponents in the administration are General Kurapotkine, minister of war, and old Pobiebenotsoff, who, as procurator of the holy synod, is minis ter of public worship. They are back ed in their reactionary policy by the empress, and are responsible for what is going on in Finland, as well as for ffe aggressive policy of Russia in Asia.
 Count Mouravieff hovers between the two parties, siding sometimes with the one and sometimes with the other He Is distrusted by both.
 The reason why old Grand Duke Mi chael has become a supporter of Count Witte and ceased to be the prin- cipal adviser of the widowed empress is because he finds that it is she alone who stands in the way of re- mobilization and of restoration to favor of his favorite son, the Grand Duke Michael, who has lived in banishment abroad ever since he offended the late emperor by marrying in defiance of the Iatter's demands the illegitimate daughter of Prince Nicholas of Nassau, a lady now known by the name of Countess. Torby. It is necessary to bear all these things in mind in order

and as they are needed flesh fruits will be sent over from time to time The principal fruits exhibited will be apples and citrus fruits. There will also be a display of nuts, the pecan be- ing prominent.
 Ore of the most interesting features of the American exhibit will be a practical exposition of the various 1rses Of corn or maize. For this pur- nose a suitable space will be set aside for the corn kitchen, where maize foods will be prepared and given out free to be sampled by the public while hot. Space IS so valuable that there will be no attempt to make outdoor displays of trees, shrubs or garden plants and flowers.

 Considering that over two-thirds of our entire domestic export consists of animal and vegetable products, the importance of properly showing to foreigners inc vast extent of cur re- sources will be readily appaent.
 An attractive feature will be the re- volving octagonal plate, which vii! contain perishable meat products and : will be made to correspond with the cases. and will be twenty feet in diameter and thirteen feet high. bsing divided into eight compartments. The meats used ;n this exhibit will be contrIbut ed by the different packers in the United States, and to a certain extent will be their individual exhibits. for which they will, of course, receive due credit
 Tn this connection, it might be well to state that the commissioner wishes it distinctly understood that personal credit and mention will be given to all individual exhibits, and to state eX- hibits as such, although the latter will simply be a part of the whole display to be made CBua in cases where d farmer sends only a few specimens of grain or a small dairy exhibit he will be given full and satisfactory credit for his contribution. In other words, it is the ende,lvor of the department to represent the American, people indiVid- ually and collectively il this matter rather than to make an extensive sci entific display of resources as whole.

The Medal of Honor.

Nearly 60000,000 people of the Unit
ed States scarcely know that there is a
national tribute paid to its brave sol
diers. This is the medal of honor given
by congress for distinguished conduct
in the presence of the enemy only. This
medal has been in existence for more
than thirty years, and has been con-
but very few besides the recipients
know of its existence. This ignorance
is due TO the fact that a mistaken sim
plicity marks the method of its presen-
tation. In other countries, particularly
those we initiate in military matters,
the decoration is often handed to the
soldier by his sovereign in the presence
of the principal officers OF state. Of
large bodies Of troops and Of thousands
of people. The name Of the happy re-
cipient is published in the official ga
zette and by the press throughout the
dominions. In our country this reward
