THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS.
Precedence of Women of the EN-.
bassies May Lead to Another
Clash Mt the National Capital.

1t is just announced at the em-
bassy that Sonora de Aspiroz, wife
of the Mexican ambassador, will not
return to the American capital this
winter. The Washington climate
never agreed with her, and her physi-
clan gave a positive order that she
should remain in her native country
for several years. At the head of
the Mexican embassy will be the
graceful elder daughter of the am
bassador, Sonora de Parez, but she
will not occupy the position at the
head of diplomatic housewives which
her mother would have occupied had
she remained in Washington.

has woman at the head of his
menage is Sig. Mayor des Blanches,
the Italian ambassador, and with

WON FAME OVER NIGHT.
How PietrO Mascagni, the Famous
Italian Composer, Rose from OBJ
security to Dizzy Heights.

Pietro Mascagni, the famous Ital-
ian composer, is to make a tour of
this country. His engagement opens
at the Metropolitan opera house,
New York, on October 8, in 'Caval-
leria Rusticana." He will bring over
with him an orchestra and company
of principals selected from among
the finest musicians in Italy.
The tour of Mascagni in America
has revived interest in the somewhat
romantic career of the young COM
poser, whose "Cavalleria Rusticana"
served the double purpose of reliev-
ing his hunger and gaining him fame
in night.
At the beginning of 1890 he was
unknown and struggling; six months
later his fame had spread over tho
civilized world. In light of his ca"
reer it is an interesting and sig.

ferent shape. The Frenchman, with
his thin and spare frame, has often
muscles of iron and nerves of steel;
and-yet to look at him is to be struck
with certain daintiness of shape, as
well as of manner, which marks him
out at once from an Englishman. But
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is French rath-
er of the eighteenth than of the TWEEN
tieth century. Like his own people,
who still retain their language express
sions that are archaic to the ear of the
modern Partisan, Sir Wilfrid strikes
one as rather an old world type of
Frenchman.
"He has less ebullient vivacity, less
expansiveness, more slowness of move
than one finds in the present day
Frenchman. You think of him rather
as the companion of Talleyrand and
Chateaubriand than of Waldeck Rous-
seau and M. Henri Rochefort. No
body said Talleyrand, knew the real
charm of life in France who did not
live before the revolution What,

stateliness of manner, the brilliancy
of conversation, the romance of gall
1antry, the ease of fortune, and SUI
periority to ordinary cares which were
the characteristics of that wonderful
aristocracy that robbed and enslaved
and trampled on France, but meantime
enjoyed itself in a grand manner, and
did everything with a noble air. One
thought of the France of the pre-revo-
1utionary times as one gazed at the
long, beautiful fingers of the delicate
hands of Sir Wilfrid Laurier-at the
perfection of every little gesture-at
the apparent ease and open frankness,
and yet the unmistakable tact and dis
erection with which he discussed every
body and everything. 1t is no won
der that he has such hold over the
hearts of his people; he is the flower of

what must almost seem miraculous
change in affairs the country which
stood at the bottom socially will
now be foremost in the brilliant So
cial events of the coming winter.
Neither the German, who heads
the diplomatic list, nor the Russian
ambassador is married. Count Cas-
SIM has as hostess at his embassy
his young niece and adopted daugh-
ter, Countess Cassini, but the only
effort he makes to place her in
equal rank with himself is at the
white house diplomatic receptions.
If this position is insisted upon this
season the little countess with her
high red-heeled shoes will be the
first woman to be presented to the
president at the diplomatic recep-
ton, and it is believed this will eX-
cite another diplomatic discussion.
Later will come the wife of the
British ambassador, who is hasten
ing here to avoid being placed lower
on the diplomatic list of ambassa-
doris than the Austrian representa-
tive. Speaking English and being an
American born, she will naturally
have much the advantage over the
wife of the Italian ambassador, who
speaks no English.
Baroness Hengelmuller is probably
now the most popular wife of dip
lomat in Washington society, as she
adapts herself admirably to all
phases of life and is an accomplished
woman of the world.
The new French ambassadors wife
is a scholarly woman of rare mental
attributes, and is also fond of the
quieter side of social life. From one
who knows it is learned that the
French embassy is likely to be again
noted for a series of brilliant din
nerS.
With a new French ambassador, a
new British ambassador new Span
ish minister, Cuban minister and
Chinese minister, with a large num-
Der of new attaches, the season
promises to be rich in entertain
ment from the diplomatic contin-
gent.

nificant incident that the composer
was so little known In Rome. He was
refused admittance into the Teatro
Costanzi, where "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana was being rehearsed for it's
first public performance. This opera
had won the Sonzogna competition
and was being prepared for presenta-
ton under Sig. Mascheroni. Mascag-
nj, who for weeks had been expert
encing the bitterness of great pow
erty, went to the Costanzi to see his
work in preparation. He had never
seen it on the stage-in fact, had
never heard note sung, except by
his own badly trained voice, and he
was full of nervous expectancy as he
approached the theater. But the
doorkeeper looked askance at his
frayed garments and thought of call
ing an officer when the figure before
him claimed to be the composer of
the opera being rehearsed within.
The indignant and disappointed mu-
stefan paced up and down the side
walk half an hour, when Sig. Mas
cheroni happened to come to the
door, recognized the haggard young
man and led him within. The even
ings later, May II, 1890, Mascagni,
in immaculate garments, was bowling
his Acknowledgements before the
most enthusiastic audience ever as
sembled within the historic Costanzi.

PICTURE OF LAURIER
How the Canadian Premier I'm
pressed T. P. O'Connor.
Irish JOurn alist and Parliame tar
ian Considers Him a BritOn in
Patriotism and u French
man in Sentiment.

That acute observer, Mr.. T. P. O'Con-
nor, has been printing estimates of the
three leading colonial premiers who
have been in London throughout the
coronation season. Of Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier, head of the Dominion govern
ment, he says:
''Here is a man who is British SUBJ
ject to his finger tips; who has shown
very ardent form of British patriot
ism; whose every word is intended to
cement in closer bonds the different
races Of his own country; and yet
never was there a man who was more
Enthusiastically un-English. Wherever
you saw him you must have recognized
in him the strain of that brilliant race
across the channel, whose sons have
done so much for letters, liberty and
civilization. The long hair, the long,
clean-shaven face; the forehead ex-
tended by the slight badness in the
front part of the head; the mobile and
pursed mouth; the full nose-could
there be anything more truly and pri-
mordially Gallo? l hope the compar-
ison will not be considered unflatter-
ing, but somehow or other | could not
help thinking of Claude Frollo-that
doomed and haunted monk in Victor
Hugo's greatest story-as I watched
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Perhaps it was
that bald and high forehead - as
though there had been a tonsure there;
perhaps it was the slightly clerical
expression that was suggested by the
clean-shaven face; perhaps it was the
high-bred, discreet, benignant air of
a confessor who had been man of
the world-whatever the reason, the
association of the great Canadian
statesman and the obscure and pas
sion wrecked friar of the romance was
an obsession to me so long as found
myself opposite to Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier.

and the English physique is not that

At first proposition was made to the

would put in the mill. The land was
purchased yesterday and the bargain
sealed. Work will commence at once

1t is estimated that an outlay of

from his father that he surrender
the work here and go to Canada that
brought about the separation. The

Talk of reconciliation has been
heard since June. 1t was then an

Ballington Booths friends claimed

May Become Presidents Champion

straight as the pine, knotty as
the spruce, wholesome as the bal
sam and clean as the birch" This is
a description by one of his admiring
constituents way down in Maine"
of Congressman Charles E. Little
field, who has swung into prominence
through the announcement that he is
to enter the legislative lists as admin
istration champion in the contest with
the trusts.
This hunter and challenger of the
"octupus," as Jerry Simpson and the
lattcr's old associates were wont to
term combinations of capital, is a
characteristic product of the Pine
Tree state. He has helped to keep
his native state prominent in the
public mind, as have others of her
celebrated sons, like Blaine and
Dingley and Frye and Millilen and
Boutelle and a goodly company of
dead and gone statesmen. He has
done it in his own way, without the
fault of imitation and by presenting
new phrases of the rugged New Eng
land character. Those who know
him well would hesitate to call him
demagogue, although some of his
performances have been almost as
bizarre as those of men in congress
and other public positions who are
usually thought of as belonging to
that class.
Mr.. Littlefeld, says the Chicago
Daily News, stands six feet and over
in his stocking feet. He carries no
superfuous flesh, like his friend, ex
Speaker Reed, and is as quick and
supple as a forest guide or down
east sailor man. He has been in con-
gress only three years, yet his fig
ure is as familiar and he is as much
of a public celebrity as many men
who have sat in the house for a
decade. The fact that he succeeded
the late Nelson Dingley, author of
the present tariff law, gave Mr.. Lit
tlefield a prominence from the first

The Salt Eating Habit.

A new habit has asserted itself which
suggests curious train of thought as
to the direction in which human aber-
rations in the matter of personal ha b.
its may eventually tend. 1t is said
that the new habit, that of salt eating,
is not only greatly on the increase,
particularly among women of all
classes, but that it is in many cases
a most serious disease. 1t begins with
desire for large quantities of salt
with the food, and if not checked,
reaches a stage in which the patient
carries salt crystals about with her
wherever she goes, and is continually
nibbling at them. The symptoms are
a peculiar yellowness and shrinking
of the skin, which is followed by the
loss of all the hair, even that of the
eyelids.

Other Operas.)
day he assumed his congressional du-
ties.
Congressman Littlefeld is, just 81
years of age and bears the impress
of one who has fought through his
half-century of existence. He is a
fighter by nature and training. 1t
is this strenuous element in his char
acter that has recommended him to
President Roosevelt. 1t was not I'M
til Littlefeld dealt the administra-
ton a solar-plexus blow in the Gu
ban reciprocity fight that the presi-
dents attention was thoroughly riv-
eted on the man from Maine. 1t was
then that Roosevelt remarked to a
friend: "That man Littlefeld-why,
he is an off OK, but an off OK that
must be reckoned with"
they tell you a good deal about
Charles E. Littlefeld and the way he
has fought against adverse circum-
stances and men until he has COM
PEELED success.
He did not have time to go
through college, but, having obtained
a common school education, he took
up the study of law and was admit
ted to the bar at the age of 25. He
has natural love for politics and
entered public life as member of
the Maine legislature and was
chosen speaker of the house while
serving his second term in that body.
AS attorney general of Maine for
four years, from 1889 to 1893, Mr..
Littlefield achieved his first national
reputation by fighting railroad cor
porations that are so powerful in
his state. 1t was then that he devel-
oped a taste for "octupus hunting
that is now making him a national
figure. He compelled payments from
the railroads of large sums in the
way of taxes that had been refused
for years.
Mr.. Littlefields record in congress
shows that he is not an indiscrim-
mate fighter of trusts and does not
follow the Irish maxim of "when you
see a head, hit it," with regard to
these combinations The second set
speech he made in the house of rep
resentatives was on this very SUBJ
ject of the restraint of combina tions
and at that time he advocated an
amendment to the constitution which
would confer greater power on con-
gress to deal with corporations.

turned just in time to flag the heav-
lily loaded train. A large sum of

were saved from watery grave.

PEACE TO BE RESTORED.
Gen. Booth, Chief of Salvation Army,
to Seek Reconciliation with His
Son BallinStOn.

A former officer of the Salvation
Army at New York has said that
Herbert Booth, who recently left the
army, was now in America, having
arrived a few weeks ago, and it was
probable that Gen. Booth would ar
rive within a few weeks to make an
effort to bring about a reconciliation
between himself and his children, six
of whom are out of the Salvation
Army. Gen. Ballington Booth, of
the Volunteers of America, has re-
fused to discuss the matter in any
form.
The trouble between the members
of the Booth family began five years
