IA ETTltoAT wars have disturbed
- every Administration in WASH
ington. The bang OF the guns
Of two such imbrOgliOs has al
ready shaken the capital this winter.
No sooner had the smoke Of one battle
cleared than another began.
n The first clash was between the wives
! Of Representatives and the wives Of
members Of the Cabinet. The latter
hOisted the white flag.
The second declaration OF war has
been made by the wives of Senators,
Z and again the women Of the Cabinet are
the object Of attack. Indeed, the lat
ter have been the chief victims OF
. Washington petticoat wars during the
last generation. Socially. they have also
been the most overworked women IN
official life.
During each social season they keep
4 open house once week, when they
4 receive and serve refreshments to vast
assemblages OF callers, some Of them
'lunch route fiends," who have no &C.
Quaintance with their hostesses. They
also receive with the Presidents wife a.
the formal White House functions. ON
account OF these many social obligations
I they have hitherto been exempted from
! the duty OF returning calls In person
/ except upon persons Of higher official
rank. Usage has permitted them to re-
turn other calls by card only.
Unquestionably. the wives Of tn.
I Representatives rank below the wivc;
Of the Cabinet members in the social
order OF precedence, according to whic,
q mans wife shares his official rank
No one has disputed this social supe.

sentatives' wives. nor have the latter de-
handed first calls Of the former. Blu

the old rule that Cabinet women should

There are more new women in thu
House circle this winter than within
many years. Few OF the old social lead
ers Of the House circle remained In
Washington. So the liveliest petticoa

dozen years was brewed.

Washington. Feb. 24.-Is ''joker" in

the movement for government railroad
building in the territory?
This is the question which the con

or to adjust the differences between
the senate and house on this measure
At the instance Of Congressman

insist that due provision for a bond

Death and Love.
Thus runs the maxim, "All are born TO

Grief follows Joy as twilight follows
day.
Old loves depart and beauty will not

Wherefore, too sad to weep, hence

Encounter only death, the passer-by.
For every pleasure We with sorrow

We are but dreamers, dreaming
dreams by day.
Yet there be those who suffer cruelty
Who find a rainbow in their cup OF

Smiles beget on faces sad as ours.
The pale moonlight silvers the sobbing

One love supreme and constant

Is dearer than fine rubies, sweet as

Sweet and as dear as that you gave

Iowa Man in Consular Service Loses
Job Because He Paid charwoman e
Per Wss. Instead Of 50 csnts-Dem.
oerat Gets HE Job.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Frank w.
Mahin. a republican. has been removed
from his post az consul at Amsterdam
and from the consular service because
he paid his charwoman 81 q week in
stead Of so cents q week. Incidentally
his removal has given Secretary Bryan
q chance to put his friend and fellow
democrat, Dominica I. Murphy, into .
position, that pays nearly $1,000 more
a year than he was getting as consul
at Calls, Switzerland.
Mahin comes from Muscatine. la. He
has been in the consular service for
long time. His record was good one
until the charge OF extravaganza was
placed against him by one Of the
"spies" Of the consular bureau. These
spies. it is asserted. have been active
during the last ten months In finding
fault with consuls Of the republican
persuasion.
Did Not Offer Resignation.
The first intimation Mahin had that
there was any objection to the manner
in which he had been conducting his
office was notification from the state
department received on Dec. IS that his
resignation had been accepted. AS he
could not recollect having offered his
resignation. Mr.. Mahin. took the first
steamer for America to investigate.
Upon his arrival In Washington he
went directly to Secretary Bryan. but
was referred to Wilbur ]. Carr, director
Of the consular bureau. From Mr.. Carr
he learned that report had been filed
against him, setting forth that he had
been extravagant in the conduct Of his
office. He was informed that it had
beens shown that he paid his charwo-
man 81 a week. whereas the regular
wage for such employment in Amster-
dam was centSs&sap hour, which
amounted TO only So cents week.
Refused Hearing, by Bryan.
Mahin sought to appear, before Sec
rotary Bryan to answer. this charge.
but was informed that the secretary
was about to leave for his winter va
cation at Miami, Fla, and that Mr..
Carr was also leaving the city for
vacation. Mahin prepared detailed
report Of his expenses, showing that
they amounted to only $s60.75 q year,
which was less than the expense Of his
predecessors at the same consulate.
The exorbitant wage to- the char
woman, he explained by saying that
whereas the usual rate Of wage was
5 cents an hour, that was for employ
ment which required full days ser
,ice, and that II he had paid his wo-
man at that rate she would have been
obliged to spend ~ cents week for
carfare, leaving her a net profit of
cents.
