STRIKING RESEMBLANCE
OF MEN IN PUBLIC LIFE

G TRIKING facial resemblances of
~ men in public life and in official
circles in this city are frequently COM
mented upon. There are three men
widely known whose similarity of
face and form is so striking that
queer mistakes of identity are expe-
rienced every now and then. The re-
semblance of the president to his dis
tinguished secretary of the navy and
attorney general, Mr.. Moody, has al
ways been the subject of remark and
now and then of humorous mistakes.
Now that Mr.. Moody has been ele-
waited, or at least transferred, to the
supreme court of the United States,
he has come across another double
in the person of James Maher, clerk of
the supreme court.
When Justice Moody first met Mr..
Maher it was as a member of the
house of representatives, when the re-
semblance between the two was re-
marked. Again when as attorney gen.
eral he had occasion to go to the
courtroom he occasionally saw his
double, and now as justice on the

q s

bench he can look over the edge of
his judicial gown any time and prac-
tically see himself as others see him.
Mr.. Makers resemblance to the presi-
dent Is striking when in repose, but
when he speaks or smiles he is obliged
to acknowledge that owing either to
the subduing atmosphere of the court
or to Tie lack of dental qualifications,
he cannot vie with the chief executive
at the other end of the avenue.
The resemblance of Senators Aldrich
and Foraker is also striking, although
the distinguished senator from Rhode
Island plays the role of reticent gen.
eral maneuvering his forces on the
floor of the senate, while the senator
from Ohio acts the more striking part
of a dashing officer with standard up
lifted ready for the fray, regardless of
the distribution of forces. If Mr..
Foraker's well-covered head were
matched by the hirsute adornment of
Mr.. Aldrich the resemblance would
be complete. But standing side by
side they appear as brothers and their
similarity is frequently commented
upon.

paper, founders around underneath
the desks and on the floor, becomes
red in the face and flustered and mad
all through.
The neighboring senators make a
great show of helping him to find what
he is looking for, but they really don't
try very hard, for they are smiling all
the time and apparently enjoying the
spectacle of wrath which the South
Carolinian presents in these circum-
stances. A smoker runs around the
galleries at such times, and this does
not cause the senator from South
Carolina to feel himself any more at
ease over the lost reference.
But always he succeeds in finding
the lost bit of paper in time. He sim
ply will not proceed until he does find
it, and he has searched for as long az
ten minutes, while senate and audi
ence waited. Then he goes ahead
with his argument.
His gestures are those of a man
wholly unframed in the art of oratory,
but somehow the Hacking gestures
seem to belong to and to suit the flow
of words when the senator becomes
thoroughly wrought up. For all that
he is a very well read man, the sena-
tor is Still rough diamond.

field of battle, how will the Thaw for
tune fare? What will the expense be?
More than that of any other murder
trial that has ever taken place in New
York.
Never before in the court annals of
this city has such an expensive array
of legal talent been gathered together
in criminal case. 1t is expensive
not only on account of ability, but be-
cause of the disposition of the Thaw
family to throw open the doors of
their money vaults and "gO to the
limit" for THE defence of the man on
trial.
The Thaw fortune, according to
Pittsburg estimates, is about $4,000
600. All the tremendous strength of
this fortune has been thrown into the
battle to save Harry K. Thaw from
the death chair.
The array of lawyers, counsellors
and what not, consisting of Messrs.

THE RELATION OF. HIGH
FINANCE AND SOCIETY

T. ONWARD HARTMAN did more
u than deprive Stuyvesant Fish of
an income when he deposed that gen:
tleman from the presidency of the ILL.,

blow at the social supremacy of Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish, from which she has
been devoting all her talents to recov-

What is said to have been the con-
elusive test of Mrs. Fish's standing in
the smart set came the other night,
when she gave q dinner. Sixty per-
sons were present, but not an Astor,
not Vanderbilt, not a Goelet, not a
Rhinelander, not Schermerhorn, not
a Wilson. All of these stand in the
front rank of New Yorks smart set,
but they were not among the guests.
Edward H. Hartman himself is not
socially aspiring. But he is intensely
interested in having his daughters

But, Mrs. Fish fatty refused. She

The Paris Of South America.

Buenos Ayres is "the whole thing
in Argentina. I know no country in
the world which is so dominated by
it's capital, writes Albert Hale in The
Reader. If the traveller comes from
the interior after leaving behind the
splendors of Andean scenery and
crossing the 500 miles of prairie, he
feels like a swimmer who has been a
long time under water and takes his
first deep breath of civilization when
he enters the city. I arrived at six
o'clock in the morning, before the
busy life of the harbor awoke. AS we
rolled along the broad water front and
up the Avenida Mayo, I said to myself,
II must have taken the wrong steamer
or l am dreaming. Surely I am in
Europe" 1t was not that things
seemed European or that it was easy
to detect an imitation; it was Europe
No amount of self-argument would
overcome this illusion; the asphalt
smelt as it does in Europe and was
cleaned in the European way; the
little trees grew in the tradition of
European culture, the buildings were
French, the safes, the news-stands, all
the lazy life of the early morning was
continental. No wonder a chatty
old French lady asked me at dejeuner,
