Mrs Hobart, wife of the late Vice Presi-
dent, came from her Paterson, N. j., home
yesterday to make a visit of some length
in the White House Mrs. Mckinley
makes no secret of her preference for Mrs.
Hobart as a close and confidential friend
above all the other ladies of her husbands
administration.
Just now the most talked about man in
the National Capital is the Hon. Webster
Davis, who resigned the lucrative and
honorable office of Assistant Secretary of
The Interior in order to devote his time
and talents to the Boer cause. He has al
ready written much in their be-
half and has now taken the
lecture platform. For SO young
man, Mr.. Davis enjoys an enviable repu
tation as an orator, and his lectures,
which he says will all be free, will doubt
less be largely attended. What effect
they will have upon public opinion re-
mains to be seen. Many shrewd observers
declare that the days when vox populi
can be swayed by oratory are far in the
past, owing to the excellence of the mod
ern newspaper as a moulder of public
opinion Gossip says, too. Mr.. Davis res
isnation was not entirely due to sympathy
with the Boers-but then, Nine. Grundy
saws a lot of i'll natured things. you

At the present time, Mrs. Grumpy is
particularly busy with the sayings and
dOinoG of }ha DpWpWS The Admiral has
| leased the beautiful suburban residence
in aristocratic Woodley Lane not far from
the famous Red Top" of the Clevelands;
and the lately-purposed summering in
Europe is probably abandoned. However,
the Admiral is given to surprises, and
there is no knowing what next he may
spring upon the people. In regard to his
new Departure as a presidential candi-
date, local opinion is unanimous in at
trbuting it to his wifes influence; and as
the late Mrs Hazen has lived nearly all
her life here the Washington verdict is
her best, say that her vanity and ambi-
ton were always far in advance of her
good judgment, and that if given full
swing" she will absolutely ruin her dot
ing husband as 1.-The idol of the people"
The best cure for such an aggravated
case of big head would be little
wholesome letting alone. When n natu-
rally vain woman, however worthy, but
of little previous account, Is suddenly
lifted into such prominence by reason of
marriage that her slightest remarks are
eagerly quoted and her clothes copied,
what else can you expect but an enlarge
ment of the Uranium? Perhaps the news
papers may prevent the disease from be-
coming chronic by preserving for a time
that silence which is golden in regard to
her uprising and downsittings. The peo-
pie are very much interested in the hero
Of Ito l,,,t a.,
former Mrs. Hazen. who does NOT seem
TO have the good sense to see that she is
merely basking in reflected light. If by
any remote possibility she could actually
attain her ambition and become first
lady of the land" she would also be the
real President, commander-in-chief of the
army, and all that, because. sure as the
sun shines, her fond husband would turn
everything over to her eager hands
