Their many seasons yet. during the yeal
the Treasury has had a big hole knocked
| in her abaft the pinnacle, and has leaked
fifty millions extra tremendous sum,
sufficient to swamp an ordinary Euro
pean croft. And now, within week OF
August, nobody is on deck but few mid
dies and supple jacks too weak to desert
the ship.
Northward flee Supremest Judges
Learned court-its head is Fuller;
Northward each official trudges
To some port where nights are cooler.
Catches breath on bleak Nantucket
| Catches cold in Watkins Dell;
Quaffs, perchance, the sulphurous bucket
Drawn from Saratoga's we'll.
On Bar Harbor's blackboard riding;
Through the Thousand Islands pad
ding;
Down Mt. Washington gliding;
In the halls of Newport dawdling;
On the pier at Narragansett;
In the parlor at Cape May;
On the sandy shore of 'Sconset;
In the surf at Rockaway.
Officially, 1 say. the ship of state is a
derelict. Secretary Metcalf of the de-
partment of Commerce and Labor, and
the very newest member of the Cabinet,
is the only man left on deck to pipe to
quarters in an emergency. Payne was
here yesterday, but has fled. Morton is
in Nebraska. Hay, Hitchcock and Taft
are all away on business, and their bust
ness didn't take them South. 1t took
them to mort hern New England where
they are swing ing in hammocks this min
ute. Shaw. is at Oyster Bay. Wilson,
too, is off hibernating-orr rather, begging
pardon for Mercury, estivating. Nation
al Chairman Cortelyeu is in Philadelphia
with his frying pan, and Congressional
Babcock is at Atlantic City with his fish
ingrod and a long, cool, glass of some
thing. Inefficient fountains flash lone
somely in the parks aid few hopeful
Congressman take off their coats and
vests in their partisan headquarters. The
maddest people in town are probably we
correspondents, jealous and disguised at
the removal of the capital to Oyster Bay
and Esopus.
Up at the vanishing Republican head
quarters Secretary Elmer Dover is doing
battle with the Autograph and button
h; thok <ho;
indispensable to the success Of the party.
One picture is entitled "Our Perpetual
Star" (Roosevelt). 1t is an allegory o
the boyhood, manhood, life rnd thoughts,
stirring scenes of battle and bivouac,
peaceful conquests, with rough and
smooth riders; stacks of books, all his
own; White House in foreground, cross
cd with swords and discharged cannon,
and dove of peace bearing the olive
branch of arbitration. Soon both par
ties will pull up stakes and fly to New
York with scissors, ink, paste-pot, blue
pencil, aste-basket, aud Office cat. Con-
gressional Chairman Babcock will go to
New York next week with the whole Re-
publican outfit, and reopen in the St..
James building on Broadway and Twen-
tY-sixth street.
That man worth forty or fifty million
dollars should be terrorized by his rela-
tives is singular phenomenon, but Sena-
tor William A. Clark, of Montana has for
that reason kept Secret the news of his
clandestine marriage for three years un-
til his bride had borne him two children.
The Senator wanted to marry his lovely
ward but feared to face the opposition
of his family and the tremendous hubbub
resulting. When she was barely seven.
teen he sent Anna LaChappelle to Europe
to study the harp. While the Senator
was planning the most sumptuous palace
in New York City she lived like prin-
cess. She had carriages, maids. a
chaperon, provate masters in music,
vocal and instrumental, and the language
and the entree into the most exclusive
of musical and artistic circles. Uuder
such auspices she made her debut as a
harpest and vocalist and created Pari-
sian furore. She received flattering Of
| fors to 60 upon the stage. When the
Senator reappeared his sister resented
it and refused longer to chaperon the
girl. Then the secret marriage took
place and he deposited in New York with
lawyers the marriage certificate, afidavits
of witnesses, and u document settling a
million dollars on his new wife. There
is war between Clark's relatives and the
LaChappelles. 1t is obvious that he
placed himself in an awkward position
and opened the way for injurious CON-
ments by clandestine marriage. If he
wants to save any remnant of his dignity
he should feel his ground carefully and
not make any more mistakes. If his re-
| latives are wise, they will accept the
situation philosophicaly.
Summer complaint is a very dangerous
