Statistician.

Official announcement has been
made that the successor of William II.

Dc S.. ID. North, who was formerly
the chief statistician in the division of
manufacturers in the census Office. The
position was rendered to Mr.. North and
accepted by him, and Mr.. North will
enter upon his duties some time in
Nay. Although Mr.. North's standing
in statistical work is high and his abil-
ity and fitness for the position unques-
toned, the announcement of his Sc
lection was surprise, in view of the
general belief that ex-Representative
Mercer was so strong that he would
be selected for the place. The presi-
dent has at no time, however, indicated
that Mr.. Mercer stood a chance of se-
lectnn, merely saying that he liked
Mr.. Mercer, and would be glad to con-
sider him for the place.
Mr.. S. Newton Dexter North was
born in Clinton, n. Y, November 30,
ls49. He was given thorough educa-
ion under the direction of his father,
who for more than 60 years was profes-
,or of Greek at Hamilton college. Mr..
North was himself educated at this in
stitution, and on being graduated en-
tered the newspaper business. He
became attached to the Utica IN. W
Herald, of which he was part owner
and managing editor from 1879 to 1886.
During the latter year he acquired
an interest in the Albany Express, of
which he became the managing edi-
cor. Mr. North was the Washington

with them. He made the acquaintance

full vitality proved stimulus to her
natural ambition.
To-day, with an infinitely more
strenuous life to be lived, Belle Hagner
is as beautiful and as much society
favorite as formerly and, withal, she
performs the duties of secretary to
half a dozen women of fashion who
swear by her talents and advice.
Mrs. Marcus A. Hanna admits frank
ly that she is the cleverest girl in
Washington, and Mrs. Dryden, wife of
the millionaire senator from New Jer-
lsey, could never have reached the dizzy
heights of leadership in one brief sea-
son without Miss Hagner's guiding
genius. There is hardly a social aspi-
rant or a climber up the official ladder
who would not sacrifice the half of her
wardrobe to be taken under the wing,
$50 to speak, of Isabelle Hagner.
To Mrs. Roosevelt she is well-nigh
indispensable, says the Washington
Times, and the two women are the
closest friends. At Mrs. Roosevelt's
private teas and musicales it is Miss
Hagner who is "the second in com.
mand." She presides over the tea
table and exercises great care that con-
hicting elements never tread upon each
others sensitive toes. She prevents
many a heartache by arranging the
white house lists of guests so that diff
Iferent sets and cliques will dovetail
with social nicely. She knows every
one by name and rank and reputation,
and nothing seems like work to Miss
Hagner. She simply glories in the re-
sponsibility that rests upon her, and it
is her pride, apparently, to assist Mrs.
Roosevelt in making historically ia
nous the social record of this admins
tration.
"Is it not odd" people say, "that
Belle Hagner does not marry? With
her attractions and opportunities and
the attention she receives, one would
think"
1t is not difficult to imagine what
they think, but it is not odd at all that
she has not married. At present she
has everything-the social fruit that
does not have to be gathered, but sim
ply falls into her clever hands-the
Emission in life," for which most Amer
lean girls are crying-a congenial
"raison d'etre," as the French say
and the sum of all this is nothing more
or less than a game of absorbing inter-
est TO a young woman of strength and
brain. The time for the matrimonial
move has not yet arrived.
You will see Belle Hagner by nine
o'clock every morning walking in natty
tailor garments or little later shop
ping with Mrs. Roosevelt. BY 10 she
has dispatched more business than any
two official clerks on Uncle Sans pay
roll. She has answered and sent out
Invitations. arranged menus, suggest
ed decorations for half dozen busy
society women. At 1880 she is serene
guest at a smart luncheon, and from
four o'clock on she shakes hands in the
most exclusive drawing rooms, dimes
with famous people and attends re-
ceptions and balls.

WHITE HOUSE RULER
Miss Isabelle Eagner, Mrs. Roose-
{ velt's Social Factotum.
Her Life Ia One Round of Social Func-
4 tions - Considered by society
Matrons the Clcverest Girl
In Washington.

Miss Isabelle Hagner, social secre-
United Sta4es, is the one woman identi-
fled with the administration circle who
has sailed through the arduous waters
of the gayest social season on record
and landed upon the shores of Lent as
buoyantly energetic as in the begin
ming of social days.
Miss Hagner is a marvel of tactful-
ness and efficiency. She is to Mrs.
Roosevelt what former Secretary to
the President Cortelyou was to the
chief executive, the power behind the
throne, the invaluable friend, the pro-
moter of social harmony, the manual
of social tactics and the smoother of
the social way.
Miss Hagner is not Roosevelt prod
uct. She belongs to Washington and
is deep-rooted in the soil of smart So
ciety.
Miss Hagner was not more grateful
to secure the position of secretary to
Mrs. Roosevelt than was the latter
grateful to secure Miss Hagner as her
who better understands the social
structure of Washington than this
clever, invincible girl, who was born to
afiluence and position and who, when
the necessity came, proved herself
equal to personal encounter with the
world.
Eight years ago the most popular de-
butante, the toast of the season and
the leader of cotillons was Belle Hag-
ner, and even then she possessed a
woman's courage despite her girlish
years. She presided over her fathers
house, advised her motherless sisters
and brothers, attended more luncheons,
dinners, teas and balls than any girl
in her set, and she was never mentally
nor physically fatigued. Her wonder
