MUST CALL ON MISS CANNON.
An Unmarried Woman's High Rank
 in Washington Official Society.

Washington Post.
 with his honors as Speaker of the House, Representatives Cannon has aban- |loned his hotel quarters and taken handsome house on Vermont Avenue Ivhere he is now established for the sea- eon. Miss Helen Cannon, who VIII be the head of her fathers household, is emil bentlv fitted for the role of leading lady In Congressional circles, place that will be hers by right and precedent. Miss |,annon, although unmarried. will have he same rank enjoyed in past years by Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Henderson.
 The wife of the Speaker of the House ss exempt from all first calls, except upon Inc wife of the President and the wife sf the Vice-President. She takes prece- |ence of all Congressional hostesses, and hay. if she chooses, decline to return all Fisits except in the Supreme Court, Cabinet and diplomatic circles. Miss Can hon. being young, healthy, amiable and 1ond of society in it's best sense, may hot avail herself of the advantages of her bew position, but being an experienced Eyoman of the world will be keen alive to he same. It will be the duty of the Iyives or daughters of her fathers asso- Hates in Congress to call on her.
 In official society the etiquette of visit Ing is the reverse of that in most com 2nunities, the newcomer making all the dvances and the junior matron or maid alling on her senior, the order of pre- sedence being established by seniority fin flee of the husband or father of the isitor. Therefore, the wife or daughter S a new member of Congress arriving in
 Washington must call promptly on the
 rife, or, in the present case, the daugh-
 er of the Speaker of the House, the wives

 prs from her own State, and also the
 lives of the Cabinet officers. After that,

PAPERS ARE DENIED
DOMINICAN CONSUL REFUSES
 CHEROKEE CLEARANCES.
United States Consul General a Pas senger on the Steamer and Will Advise the Captain
 What to Do.

New York. Nov. 18.-Consul General Galvan of Santo Domingo refused to sign clearance papers for the Clyde Line steamer Cherokee to the five Dominican ports in the hands of insurgents for which the Cherokee sailed today but granted clearance papers for the ports of San Domingo and Azua, which were at last reports in possession of the Eov- ernment. The papers were issued by the local customs officials. Consul Galvan said he was acting under orders from his government in refusing to sign clearance papers for the five ports which he declares are closed and In the possession of the rebels.
 c. I. Maxwell, consul general to San Domingo, sailed in the Cherokee. He said that he would not be surprised to find the revolution ended when he reached there.
 "In way" he said, 'T have orders to advise the captain of this ship what to do in crtain contingencies. I cannot say what my advice will be until we reach the spot and see what confronts us. l think the Baltimore will be at Monte Christi. our first port of call, before we get there. and in that event the officers will decide what we are to do. If the Dominican officials establish a blockcade and can maintain 1t, of the five ports
 
 enter, but to make the blockade effectual 1t must be perpetual, by which I mean that the gunboats which meet us at Monte Christi and prevent our entering that harbor cannot follow us to another port and keep us out of there.
 ''The Dominican government has two gunboats, which are capable of maintain ing blockade of two ports at the same time, but do not think could effectively blockade more than that. have heard a rumor that the government has armed two sailing vessels as supplementary war ships for this blockade service but I do not know that this is true"
 T understand" said Consul Galvan. that several cases of arms were offered for shipment on the Cherokee to Puerto Plata but the Clyde people would not take them unless I certified my consent. The shippers did not come to me for my approval and do not know who they were"
 Just before the lines were cast off Can tain Daniel Archibald was asked whether in case of being held up by San Domin- gan gunboats he would ask counsel of Mir. Maxwell. He replied: Why, yes; I suppose so. I understand he is oficially instructed to give me advice and I will act on what he says"
 Where are your guns?" he was asked.

 Madame suggested that 1t would be a good thing to employ French women to teach the English working women to cook I thought the idea was not a bad one in itself, but again ventured the opins ion that there was an incurahIe tendency to wastefulness in the English character. At the same time I pointed out what was being done in connection with the school system to teach girls to cook

Vests Wonderful Memory.

Kansas City Journal (Rep.)
 Senator Vest physically is much en- feebled but his intellect remains as clear and his memory as wonderfully retentive as ever He is dictating a series of rem iniscent articles to his stenographer. His eyesght Is so bad that he cannot look up references. but 1t is found that every date and circumstance he gives is absolutely correct. The marvellous retentiveness and accuracy of his memory were illustrated a few days ago. He had dictated an arti- cle to his stenographer in which he quot ed in full letter which he received from Jefferson Davis nineteen years ago. It was feared he might have misquoted some parts of it, and before the stenographer left the house members of the family got the original letter and compared it with Mir. Vests quotation of 1t. It was found that he had given it word for word.

Married Twice in Five Minutes.

Abilene (kan.) Chronicle.
 A young man from San Francisco met his afianced bride in Abilene by appoiut- ment. They went to minister and were married with the usual short ceremony. As the groom drew a roll of bills from his pocket to pay the preacher. the we'd ding ring. which he had forgotten. fell to the floor. The bride looked at that ring regretful1y. though she said nothing of her disappointment at not being we'd ded by the ring ceremony. The preacher caught her look, however. and told tho couple 10 stand up before him. Then he married them all over again ueinr ina ring ceremony. to the very palpable pleas ure of the young woman. As the pair left the parsonage the groom was heard to say: Well, I guess we got all that was coming to us that time.''

RUDoLPH's LOST TRAIL.
Pinkerton Men to takeIt Up-Trial of
 Collins


 Union, Mo, July 15.-The police and detectives working on the Rudolph es- cape seem to be at sea. Although con- fident that the man seen in the neigh borhood of Cliff cave and traced to Kimmswick, thirty-f1ve miles below St Louis Saturday, is none other than the escaped prisoner, all trace of the fugi- tive beyond that point has been lost. ' Special officers from the first district police station, who have been working night and day on the case since it was first reported, have been called in.
 Pinkerton men, however, will take up the lost trail and try to trace it be- -yond Kimmswick. It Is believed that Rudolph is skirting the woods and keeping away fom the open country in an effort to reach the Arkansas line.
 The trial of George Collins has been set for next Wednesday,. The judge who is to try the case will, it is said, order venire of 100 men for jurors. This is expected to take the sheriff three days to serve. Collins is chain ed hand and foot and guarded by five military men.

Shark Fins in N,carauxua-

Consul 4. L. M. Gottschalk, writing from San Juan Del Norte in regard to the use of shark fins for industrial pur- poses in the United States, says: Sharks exist in large numbers on this coast. The Nicaraguan fishery laws seem to permit of bheir being caught as vermin, and there appears to be no ex- port duty on any industrial product de- rived from them. A number of persons here believe that they could deal with the United States in shark fins, or in shark backbones, and skins The for mer are used extensively in some coun- tries in the making of walking canes: the latter are made into leather em- ployed for sword grips and fancy arti- icles. Large quantities of these products could be sent to the United States, were there market for them. I should be glad to communicate with parties in- terested, if these articles are market able in the United States."- Y. World.
