AN ALICE ROOSEVELT ROSE.
Florists Pink Beauty christened fol
 Presidents Daughter.

From the New York Journal.
 Washington-The Miss Alice Roosevelt Rose" which made it's first public ap- pearance Tuesday in a bunch of roses placed on the desk of Senator Dryden. the newly elected member of the Senate from New Jersey. is the newest bud" in the world of fashionable flowers.
 The rose is a product of a Washington greenhouse, which jealously guards the secret of it's culture, and in coloring and formation is pronounced perfect by fiori- culturists who have examined it. It some- what resembles in shape the La France, of which 1t is distant cousin, only it is slightly smaller and Is as pretty in full bloom as in the bud.
 The color of the new rose is a deep pink which florists describe as a pure coppery salmon pink.
 In culture 1t is a bud variation, com- ing from the parent stem of the Madame Abel Chateney,a celebrated French rose, and is what the French would call an accident of nature.
 The first blooms of the new rose were ly admired by the President and Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt Miss Roosevelt readily agreed that such beautiful bloom should be christen ened with her name and the President and Ms. Roosevelt willingly gave their sanction. The rose will not be put on the market until next year.

run as a Serial. It has Preamble about as long as the Moral Law. The Man who is spinning, in order to en- | certain himself, begins by relating how he was on Sleeper between East St. Louis and Eifingham. He tells the Name of the Book he was reading, the Color of the Pullman Conductors 5 Whiskers and the Speed at which the Train was running. Having settled these important Details he slowly ap- breaches the Plot of the Piece. It seems that Albert Heironomous who used to travel for Skinstine, Walrus & Go. asked him to come into the State-Room and hold Cards so as to make it four-handed. The Narrator explains that he had no desire to Play, but he went just to oblige Al. Then he tells about meeting a Mining Expert from Colorado and little Fat Man who owned a Gents Furnishing Store in St. Joe. He gives the Con- versation in regard to fixing the Ante and Limit and forgets who had the first Deal, but anyway they all drop | ped out the first time around and
 made it Jack. The St. Joe Man l opened 1t and he, the Hero of the | Story, fingered on Pair of Sevens, but kept a Ohe-Spotter on the side
 and then picked up Seven and an
 Ace and made foxy Bet of Two Bits,
 and so on and so on. When it came | time to change at the Junction, he
 had everything except their Clothes.
 The little Group in the Hotel Office
 listened to one of these Typical Tales lasting from 7:30 to S:45. The Next l Man was reminded of what happened | to him in Fl Paso when he sauntered
 into Cy Ryan's and Tipped big Iron
 Dollar on the Single o. He caught it
 and let it lay for Repeater and then
 pushed the whole Stack over on the

| way clear to a different class of seekers after knowledge.
 While probably not so dlgnified as a berth in Howard University, the chair of boot-blacking. which he was then ! forced to adopt, has certainly been quite as remunerative, and Walker has become the J. Pierpont Morgan among the boot backing fraternity of this town. The small box, which so many of them carry. was his first venture. he now owns the stand across from the station, which keeps four chairs going; stand at the corner of Ninth street and New York avenue, and one near the District build ing, located in barber shop. With the profits from these he has been able to purchase property on Nineteenth street and support his family in the manner befitting a man of such great enterprise.
 It is. however, as an instructor of the art, which he go nobly adorns, that he is the most interesting, and he has some pretty good ideas, to say nothing of quite knowledge of human nature. s "I employ fourteen boys in the winter | and eighteen in the summer" he said l and in addition to my boot-blacking bus | mess. l run private messenger service

From the Washington Post.
 Some person, long since dead. in the en- deavor to be clever, had the hardihood to remark that the trouble with most schools was that one only began to learn anything after he had left them. If he were alive today and should wander down by the Baltimore and Ohio station he might have reason to amend his re- mark, for there fourishes an institution of learning which combines the advant- age of practical experience with It's scho- lastic term, and graduates it's pupils fully equipped to battle in all ways with the world in their chosen professions.
 The studies pursued at this place of learning are decidedly unique; probably there are few, if any, of like character in the country. There. out of doors. as in the days of Socrates of old, is taught, not the divine principles of philosophy but what has become almost as import ant to mankind of modern times, the art for art it is. when looked at in its proper iight--of shining shoes
 Here youthful and ambitious members of the race so closely associated witf ragtime and chickens, may acquire sui ficient knowledge to shine, both figura lively and actually in the affairs of thu world. They receive instruction in al of the diversified branches of the art from the proper way to turn up a custo mers trousers to the chief delight of thu bootblacks heart, the patent leather polish to accomplish which the manipu lator of the brush generally keeps on, waiting through successive applications of backing.
 These future imparters of polish arc taught when and how to approach a GUS. toner. and, above all, when not to dc so. Nothing makes a man feel more like murder than to walk along the street in new or newly blackened pair of shoes ard be greeted with, Polish, sir Let me shine 'em up for you, judge" Boot blaclxing is very much like the speaking of French-it is a great accomplishment to know how to do so but it is still greater one to know enough not to at- tempt it.
 The originator and proprietor of this place is Al Walker, a colored man. whose career as bootblack Is decided in- centive to those who would go and do likewise. and shows what perseverance can accomplish even in the lesser walks of life. Having graduated from a school of pharmacy in New York, he came to this city seven years ago with the under standing that he was to receive a posi- tion In Howard University as practical demonstration of that science, but the fates decreed that he should make the

 A member of the Cabinet to entertain largely should have such a house as usually rents at from $6OOO to $12,OoO a year. Senator Depew pays 5000 month for his house.

 Carriages and horses are furnished by the government to Cabinet members. All other expenses they must pay themselves. A member of the Cabinet maintaining his own house would have to expend at least $15,000 year, or nearly double his sal ary, to keep up even ordinary appear ances.
