Nellie was born in Indiana, and at
an early age donned male attire and

Nellie does not look bit like a girl

PAY OF ARMY OFFICERS.

Why Most of Them Arc what Would
lie Called Poor.
THE fact that General Lawton left
only $1,000 In back pay as an estate
is surprise to people who don't know
the ins and outs of military llfe."
said a former captain In the United
States army to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat THE truth is that
nearly all OF our army and navy Of
ficers who aren't lucky enough to have
private means are what would be
called poor. Those with independent
resources are very few. and those who
have saved are handful of bachelors
who have talent in that direction,
which they have cultivated at the ex-
pense of most of the things that
make life worth living. The others
the married men who are solely de-
pendent upon their pay-live from
hand to mouth. and have to do some
desperately close figuring to make
both ends meet. The naval officers
have rather the worst of 1t. because
they have to keep up two establish
ments-their own aboard ship and
one for the family ashore; but. on the
other hand. the social obligations in
CURED by an army officer are more
numerous and more expensive. The
pay Of both branches seems very lib
eral to a civilian, but he is ignorant
Of many of the outlays unavoidable
in the service. The cost of uniforms
and accouterments alone is at least
twice as much as the tailor bill Of the
average well-dressed business man.
and there are many corps entertain
ments to which each man in the mess
must contribute pro rata. Some OF
our congressman are loud in calling
attention to the fact that United
States officers are paid more than
those OF any other country. That is
true. but they fail to state that the
foreign service is made up almost en-
tirely OF noblemen and members of
the aristocracy. who have abundant
private means to sustain their rank"

,arge number Of young lady daughters

.ne New York Mail and Express. At
the executive mansion some of either
the presidents or Mrs. McKinley's
nieces have been there the majority of
the time. Just now Miss Barber and
MISS Mabel Mckinley are the guests,
ana numerous entertainments are be-
ing given In honor of the recently an

the cabinet families there are ten
daughters in the various households
and, or course, several times that num-
ber in the congressional homes. There
are several brides In the congressional
circle. and they have no. failed to have
their share of attention. which has
added Its quota to the gayety of the
social whirl. The bride of the senate

Mrs. Thurston is very much younger

She spent good part of her girl
hood in Washington. where at one
time her father was a member of con-
gress from Florida. She attended
school in Boston. and after graduation
she went abroad for a few months. in
order to study elocution with noted
histrionic artist, from which Incident

originated.
The senator and Mrs. Thurston have
very handsome apartments at the
Cairo, which are filled with interesting
things. The senator's smoking room
is veritable Oriental den. The walls
are lined with quaint tapestries, and
all around them are luxurious couches
piled high with downy cushions. and
hanging over them are pipes from all
quarters of the globe. There are teak
and irlaid tables. holding tobacco
bowls. and pouches of curious designs,
and strange looking musical instru-
ments suggest the droning songs OF
the geisha girls of Japan. They are
also the fortunate possessor OF some
exquisite embroideries from China and
many eurios from Cuba. the Philip
pines and Hawaii.
