HISTORIC NAMES AT CAPITAL
Washington Contains Many Descend.
ants of Famous Men.


Washington fairly buzzes with great
historic names, and one might think
that time had turned backward to
hear the solemn announcements at the
official levees. There is one bearer
of great name in Washington who
has been so modest that only latterly
have people begun to realize exactly
who he is. This is Baron German de
Stael-Holstein, great-grandson of the
famous Nine. Anna Louise Necker de
Stael, author, patriot and philosopher.
The baron is second secretary of the
Russian embassy, and lives the quiet
life of student. He is almost mid
die aged, but it still a bachelor.
Though he has inherited all the men,
tai brilliancy which distinguished his
great ancestress he has none of her
social talents. Baron de Stael-Hol-
stein mingles in the gay throng just
enough to fulfill his obligations, and
the remainder of his days is passed in
reading and enjoying music. He is
fair and of medium height and not I'M
like the most famous woman of mod
ern times in appearance. The children
Of Nine. de Stael by her first I'M
happy marriage were early separated
from her, and the father of the pres
ent Russian diplomat left Sweden and
Joined his fate and fortune with the
Muscovite empire. He became high
in councils of state, as no doubt will
his son. For Russian diplomacy
moves in grades, like the military life
of this country.

The lecturer proves to be slender
young man, with scraggly mustache,
serious face, a mouth very full of
teeth and voice out of all proper
ton to the rest of his person.
The lecture proceeds with ease and
precision. You might almost think
yourself listening to Burton Holmes
travelogue in Convention hall, when,
without warning, with no change of
voice, tone or expression:
Upon the left the brick house d.
rectly opposite is the home of Speak
er Cannon. You will observe the con-
spicuous chimneys upon the ends.

Joe's cigars"
It's all so extremely serious that no.
body ventures a smile. Very likely
nobody has noticed it. The monotone
goes on:

The audience is GUNNER than be-

worked in so that everybody is afraid
to talk.

one with the iron bars"-it is one of
the rules of the spielers' union to say

Possibly Wife Did Not Mean II Just
That Way, But There II Was.

A husband and wife ran a freak
show in certain provincial town, but
unfortunately they quarreled, and the
exhibits were equally divided between
them. The wife decided to continue
business as an exhibitor at the old ad'
dress, but the husband went on tour.
After some years wandering the
prodigal returned, and reconciliation
took place, as the result of which they
became business partners once more.
A few mornings afterward the people
Of the neighborhood were sent into
