When the Bag Was Opened All Doubt
as to Ownership Was Quickly
Settled.

The other day an omnibus full Of
passengers drove up to its terminus in
a London suburb. Side by side sat a

But the other persisted and the lady
insisted, and they came very near quar-

bus and asked:
''Whose is that?"

''He has mine and I want it, or I'll have
the law on him. It's pity if lady
can't travel alone in this country with
out being robbed of her property in
broad daylight"
Finally the commercial said he would
open the bag to prove his property.
The lady objected at first, saying she
did not want her bag opened in the
presence of crowd of strangers. But
as there was no other means of settling
the dispute she at length consented.
The commercial pressed the lock,
opened the bag, and the curious pas
sengers bent forward to see On the
top of everything lay big, fiat flask
half full of whisky, pack of cards,
meerschaum pipe, quarter of pound
of tobacco, and one or two things that
nobody knows the name of. The COM

self-possession and speech.

commercial relocked his bag with a
quiet smile. Early in the same after

CT p ceQence,
though most of them have now been
fairly well settled after years of dis
pute and Misunderstanding
One of the few remaining points in
dispute is that of the social standing
of the associate justices of the supreme
take precedence over the diplomatic
representatives of foreign countries?
1t is a question asked, and wrangled
over many times each season, and it
is for this reason the appointment of
Judge Day throws him into the center
of the social arena of Washington.
The president and his wife hold I'M
disputed sway as the social leaders in
Washington whenever they care to as
sumo the place. The vice president,
or the speaker pro tempOre of the SEN
ate and his wife come next Previous
to 1886 the speaker of the house and
his wife came next, but the statute de-
creeing the order of the presidential
succession passed in that year placed
the cabinet officers and their ladies
ahead of the speaker of the house.
Following these the justices of the
supreme bench and their ladies, and
the diplomats and their ladies must
fight for supremacy, and many are
the disputes and wounded feelings that
have resulted from this contention.
1t is probable that Judge Day, with
his simple, democratic tastes, will not
care greatly what seat he is given at
the social board. During his previous
residence in Washington he seeming
ly cared but little for social festivi-
ties.

he was a leader, though occupying but r.

and willingness to assist in any worthy
cause put him at the head of charitable

His reputation as a wit and must

NEW YORK LETTER
Something of the Newspapers, Newspaper Makers
and Other Men Prominent in Gotham

Post is the only paper in the city that
has an editor, in the sense in which
the word is used in London or Paris.
1t has only few reporters, and these
of the best caliber; its editorial staff
is, on the contrary, very large, and it
has a long list of outside experts in
every department of human knowl-
edge who can be relied upon to write
occasional editorials and book reviews
of astounding wisdom. The Evening
Post once printed a column and a half
review of absorbing interest upon-a
catalogue of French wines! And the
information the writer displayed was
such as not ten men in the country
possess, one of the ten being of course
DR.. S. Weir Mitchell. That catalogue
had been sent to one of the very few
men in the United States who could
make interesting copy out of it.
And interesting it surely was.

laughable discussion in congress few
days before adjournment. This side
board, by the way, was presented to
Mrs. Hayes by the ladies of the w. G.
T.. u, because she declined to serve
wine on the white house table. The
congressional minority say it is now
stored in a Washington brewery, and

ton.
Among the social features none were
more attractive, especially from the
standpoint of novelty, than the mar
riage of Mile. Irene Des Planques,
daughter of M. Gabriel Des Planques,
of the Russian financial service, and
NJ Alexander de Pavlow, Russian min
lister to Corea. The marriage took
place at the residence of the Russian
Ambassador, Count Cassini, and the
ceremony followed strictly the rites
as prescribed by the Russian church,
being performed by Bishop Tikhon,
the primate of the church in America,
assisted by four priests from the
church of st. Nicholas, New York. So
far as my knowledge goes this was
the first time strictly Russian mar
riage ceremony was ever performed
in Washington, and invitations TO it
were eagerly accepted. The guests
numbered some 200, including the en-
tire diplomatic corps, representing Sc
different nations.
