CONGRATULATIONS AND
CONDOLENCES.

The reelection OF Senator James w.
Wadsworth. jr. which seemed at one
time to be regarded as doubtful, is
gratifying to the social world in
which he and his wife, the youngest
daughter of the late John Hay, some
time Secretary of State. have been
conspicuous figures. 1t will be pleas

William b. Mckinley, who comse up

Former Governor Frank B. willis,
