TOO INFORMAL BY HALF.
Secretary of the Navy Longs Sur
prise on Attending His First
Cabinet Dinner.

Just before the first cabinet dinner
was given in Washington last season,
relates q Washington exchange, Sec
rotary Of State Hay had private talk
with his colleagues regarding the In
vitation precedence question. 1t was
unanimously agreed that the annoying
subject be sent to the rear and that
hostesses be simply asked to exercise
such care as would prevent the same
people coming together too much dur
ing the season. No one expressed him
self as more rejoiced over the change
than the secretary Of the navy. He
talked about 1t constantly between
the agreement and the dinner. When
he arrived at the mems dressing-room
the evening of the dinner the man
servant handed him the usual small
envelope with the name Of the lady
whom he was to take In to dinner. Mr.
Long read 1t aloud to the other men,
bers Of the cabinet in the room. He
looked puzzled and distressed. The
other members showed that they also
had cards. Mr.. Long sat heavily down
IN a chair and looked around them
as one who had lost his last friend.
" thought" he said, mournfully,
shat Hay told US this was going TO
be an informal affair"
What did you expect?" asked cab
met minister.
"Why, thought every fellow would
come in and just go to the lady he
liked best, take her out to dinner and
sit down in the chair nearest him.
That's my idea of informality."

Is a law that no subject shall touch

the New York Mail and Express. The
present king of Spain nearly suffered
q severe fall from this rule in his

for the first time the motion fright

him from falling. The breach

was obliged to punish II by
Diminishing the man from his post. At
the same time she showed her real
feelings on the subject by appointing
him immediately to another and bet

In another case queen OF Spain
nearly lost her life in dreadful way
owing to this peculiar rule. She had
been thrown when out riding, and, her
foot catching in the stirrup, she was
dragged. Her escort would not risk
interference, and'she would have been
dashed to pieces but for the heroic in
terposition Of young man who
stopped the horse and released her
from her dangerous position. AS soon
as they saw she was safe her escort
turned to arrest the traitor who dared
to touch the queens foot, but he was
not to be seen. Knowing well the
penalty he had incurred, he made off
at once, fled for his life and did not
stop until he had crossed the frontier

LINcoLN's PLAIN TALK.

Abraham Lincoln did not believe in
forcing a government upon an unwil-
ling people under the assumption of
racial superiority. Racial superiority
was the justification of the slavehold-
ers. he said. Nor did the slave owner
hold the rights of fellow beings in
greater contempt than Hanna holds the
common people of America, regardless
Of race or color.
What does he care for liberty here or
elsewhere? Turn to the files OF the
local Hanna organ and read: THE
man who actually holds the destinies of
this nation in the hollow Of his hand,
the chairman of the Republican party,
would reduce the American masses to
a slavery worse than that which ex-
listed in the south before the war;
Lincola's words again come UP as a
reproaeh against the treatment OF the
Porto Ricans by our ShylOck admins
tration and the threatened subjugation
or determination of other islanders
whose lands we covet.
Our reliance is in the love of liber-
ty which God has planted in as" said
Abraham Lincoln. ''Our defense is in
the spirit which prizes lib rty as the
heritage of all men in all lands, every
where. Those who deny freedom to
others deserve it not for them elves,
and under a just God cannot long re-
tain it."

the more eXacting with the little
daughter who seemed destined to climb
far above him upon the ladder of fame.
When just out of babyhoOd, therefore,
several old prints were shown the lit
tie Angelica daily that her eye and
taste might be educated. As soon as
she could handle a pencil with heat
ness and precision, plaster casts were
given her to copy; and after. she
sketched them to the entire satisfaction
of her father, he insisted that she
should paint them in oils, in order that
she might master that power of relief
for which she afterward became 50
conspicuous.
1t would seem as if there were truth
in the accusations OF neighbors and
friends that the Kauffmanns pushed
their idOliZed only child with undue
sewers. in their efforts to make her
an infant prodigy. Although Angeli-

abled her to ply her brush with in

been taxed TO the utmost to have led
her to take up portrait painting at
the age of 10. 1t is a we'll autheRticat-

Her two years stay at Como. to which
she always referred as the happieS6 of
her life, made such profound impress

to exchange the romantic lake and 81

NAPOLEON'S ACTIVITY.

An exchange remarks that eve have
accomplished as much in our war with
the Tagals as Great Britain has ac-
complished in her war with the Beers,
and as much as any nation could have
done"
Perhaps. Yet we had whipped Spain
to a finish in less than three months.
And the movements of the American
troops under Scott and Taylor in the
Mexican war were lightning-like COM
pared with the progress Otis has made.
If Napoleon Bonaparte had moved
no more rapidly than Otis has moved
he would never have been more of a
favorite with his soldiers than Otis is.
Take. for illustration. his marches and
movements when the obstacles in his
way were the greatest. After his es-
cape from Elba he landed in France on
the 1st of March, and on the 20th of
the same month Louis XVIII aban-
doned the throne. Napoleon reorgan-
lied his empire, raised an army, and
on the 18th of the following June
crossed the Belgian frontier at the head
Of 124,000 men. Next day he defeated
Butcher at Ligny. Two days later ne
was overwhelmed by the combined
armies of Europe, to be sure, a conoi-
ton which cOnfronts neither Otis nor
Roberts, but it illustrates the rapidity
of action which he showed in other
and successful campaigns
This was in a time, too. when there
were no telegraphs or steamships at
his command.
For twelve months we have been en-
gagged in the Orient. 1t is said that the
war is over. but is it? And what has
been accomplished? Where are
we at?''
