Little Bit of Good Advice.

In no city are people blessed with such
a variety of weather as here in Washing
ton and nowhere is it so essential to look
after physical welfare. Take. for instance,
the weather of Thursday last. In the
morning it was delightfully."- warm-in fact,
so warm that people wished they had
donned lighter clothing. and were contem
plating investing in straw hats. But what
a change in the evening. The temperature
dropped 20 degrees and the people who
lOnged for straw hats and lighter clothing
wished they had their overcoats. This
brings us up to the desired point. and
where the bit Of advice comes in; That a
bottle of good whisky on your sideboard,
in such variable weather rs we are now
having, is u mighty good thing. II will
staye OFF an attack OF Ia grippe or pneu-
mOnia and save many doctors bill. You
can get pure whisky-warranted pure-at

Mr.. William Schwartz, having had such
a rush this last season on tailor made
suits that he has been compelled. unwill-
ingly, to disappoint many of his customers
on shir' waists, as l., could not give the
time which he considered it entitled to.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Schwartz intends going
to Europe at an early date to secure the
latest novelty cloths styles, and patterns
for the fall season, he will for the next
two weeks give his entire -''tantiOn to shirt
waists. and is now prepa sd to take orders.
and show the fashionable folk of Washing
ton what artistic work he can do in this
line. Mr.. Schwartz slreputation as a shirt
waist maker is second to none, and among
the fashion in Baltimore he stands at the
top. To those whom he has been compelled
to disappoint he trusts that they will
take advantage of the next two weeks
and avail themselves Of this opportunity.
He is very sorry to make a limit on the
time, but his cont, lplated business trip
abroad leaves him no alternative.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The blunLer
made by the Chicago authorities in invit-
ing the Spanish Minister to be present
at the approaching Dewey celebration n
that city is not singular In this case
however it gained prominence and char
actsr that would not have attached lad
it not been for the peculiar relations that
Ine Duke d'Arcos naturally sustains TO the
proposed celebration. ...
1t frequently happens that well-me lning
persons ignorant Of the customs that
govern the Diplomatic Corps, send its
members communications of various kinds
which are improper and which, therefore
cannot be given any notice whatever All
difficulties in this regard could be avoided
if persons desiring 10 cYmmunicate with
members of the Diplomatic Corps or 20
send them personal invitations to attend
public or private ceremonies. would do
so through the Department of State. 1t
has only recently become. the custom for
the managers of ceremnnias such as that
about to take place in Chicago. to address
themselves directly to foreign repfessn-
tatiyes in Washington With the test of
intentions on the part of the projectors
much mischief may result from this laxty.
In the present case, for instance it ay
readily be perceived that the acceptance
by a member Of the Diplomatic Corps in
Washington Of an invitation TO glorify
the crushing defeat cf the Spanish Navy
at the hands OF Americans might consti-
tute a gross violation o. the spirit of II u
trality which is supposed to animate their
Governments. and might involve in diff
Guilty with his own Government the IN
wary diplomat who accepted such an invi-
tatlon.
1t is said at the State Department that
it is too much to expect that there should
be & general knowledge OF all these little
diplomatic intricacies. therefore. to pre-
vent humiliating incidents. it might be
better for projectors of public demOnstTa-
tions who desire to secure the attendance
of members of the Diplomatic Corps, TO
avail themselves of the knowledge and
experience of the officials OF the State De-
partment.
