,-,,, MM. LANCASTER DAILY INTBLLIGBNCER SATUHDAY, MAY 8, 1890; A LETTER ABOUT EXES, WASHINGTON HOLD HAS CHARMS THEM FAST. THAT II la Especially rasclnstlng te Ik Ladle and )e Mn Who 1.1k Society Infer aiatlea Berrardlng Men Who Were For Fer merly High In rnblle IJfc. Special Correspondence. Washington, May 1 .On the fleer of the senate the ether day I saw, no fewer than six cx-remtters, hats in hand, chat ting with friends and viewing the scenes of their former triumphs or disappoint ments. These were Warner Miller, of New Yerk; Themas J. Clingmnn, of Seuth Carolina; Jeseph E. McDonald, of Indiana; Blanche K. Uruce, of Missis rippis Omar D. Cenger, of Michigan, and Augustus H. Garland, of Arkansas. The presence of such a large number of for mer senators reminded me that ene of the odd phases of life in Washington is the plentifnlncss of "exes." We bee "exes" riding by in their carriages, or begging dimes en the street corner. They sit op posite us at dinner, or hang about the barrooms waiting for an invitation te step up and take something. The "exes" are everywhere, of all ages and colors and previous conditions of official servitude all excepting the pres idency. Wehave no bx-prcsidents resi dent here, though we have any number of inen who escaped that great ofnee by the skin of their teeth, and net of theif own desire, but owing te circumstances ever which they had no control. Ne former presidents nre here, but there are ex-cabinet ofllcers, ex-senators, ex-congressmen, ex-commissioners and ex-governors galore; nnd as for former wearers of the judiclnl crmineand thoae who ence issued martial commands the "judges" and "generals"' nnd "colonels" und "ma jors" their name is simply legion. Men who live in the national capital for a time as servants of the peeple de net like te go away. They nre fascinat ed by the lazy luxuriousness of the life, the beauty of the city and the social op portunities here presented. That form of society which is expressed chiefly in geed dinners and large, fertile punch bowls most enthralls the men, while the showy nftorneon and ovening receptions, the taw and the endless round of dress parades known as calling bind the wom en fast In their toils. "What! Leave Washington nnd go ngaln te the fron tier?' exclaimed the pretty wife of an nrmy eflicer nt ene of Mrs. Oatcs' famous receptions last week. "Why, if that is te be my fate I declare I Bhall commit suicide Iiather than go te the frontier and leave dear, dear Washington I will cut my threat." The pretty woman meant every word of it, tee, und she madu shivers run round the room by drawing n fruit knife suggestively close te the white skin of her neck. Then she Bcized u glass of punch, quaffed it with a laugh, and what had passed for a bit of comedy in the minds of the spectators ceme te an end. But it was net all com edy with the dashing woman, nnd her peer husband, the army officer, is out bustling night and day for the influence which may cnable him te sccure that been of boons in the service waiting or ders ut Washington. i "A, curious commentary en this fasci nation of Washington life," said Repre sentative Hitt, who is ene oil the brilliant covcrsatienalists of the capital, "was af forded by the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox. I was then living in the National hotel, which at the clese of the war was the fashionable hotel of the city. The heuse was filled with army officers and their wives, and when the news came from Appomattox nnd the peeple in the btreets began te shout and cheer and Haunt their Hags with joy I stepped up te the parlors te bee hew happy the ladies were. Imagine my surprise te find three or four of them in tears, nnd the ethers looking very sad and solemn. 'What is the matter?" I asked ene of them. 'Have you net heard that Gen. Lee has surrendered te Gen. Grnnt?' 'Yes,' she replied, hnlf crying, 'and that Is just the trouble. We knew this means the end of the war, nnd that we must leave Washington nnd go nway te the country te 11 ve again,' and then this wo man, like several of her sisters, burst into tears. I actually believe," conclud ed Mr. Hitt, "that half of these gay devotees of society would have been glad te have the war continued a ceuple of years longer that they might have ro re mained in the whirl of Washington soci ety." With both men and women fend of Washington life it is net surprising that tliis is the place in which the "exes" most de congregate. A man ence famous nnd powerful, whom many peeple thought might himself become president of the United States, new walks or drives the streets of Washington unknown te nearly all who sce him. He is n handseme man, with iron gray hair, a fine profile, an intellectual face. His name is Bout Beut well "Lawyer Boutwell" he is called bj the few who laiew him and he was secretary of the treasury under President Grant. He was then a social 03 well as n political leader, nnd was seen almost daily at receptions and teas. New he eschews all such frivolities, and, like the average man of expsrivnee and Bcnse, confines his social exploits te the stretch ing of his legs under the mahogany where there is plenty of geed wine and geed company. Plenty of ether "exes" of the cabinet may be seen en the streets of Washing ton. William A. Richardson, who suc ceeded Mr. Boutwell in the treasury, lives in ene of the haudseinebt houses in Washington, wltere he is chief justice of the court of claims. Ex-Secretary of War Belknap is ene of the best known men in the city of Washington. He grows rounder and jollier and mero red in the face as the years go by, and the circle of his friends appears te be contin ually widening. He is a gastronome, a wit nnd a ctery teller. He makes ten or fifteen thousand dollars a year as a claim agent nnd spends it all. He lias a lovely family and a luxurious home. The eldest u -cabinet officer in the city is the Hen. Geerge Bancroft, who was i-ecretary of the navy about forty years uge. He has lived te bee the navy go through four or five distinct periods, Ihj ginning with the geed old days when our bhips Killed the bcas as proudly and Kiucily ns these of any nation, and em bracing the glorious time of war in which we gave te the world the iron clad, the corrupt era following in which many millions were squandered in useless wooden hulks, and the rennaissance new here with the steel bhips and high free beards taking the place of wooden hulk3 nnd the sluggish monitors. Mr. Ban ci oft's claim te fame rests less upon hi3 direction of the navy department than upon his diplomatic and literary services, and yet Ihnve heard old naval officers say tliat he did much toward organizing and perfecting the navy, particularly with reference te the laws and regula tions governing it. Fer instance, it was through his instrumentality that the old law making promotions en age alone was changed se that efficiency became a fac tor in winning the prizes of the service. Mr. Bancroft rarely leaves Ids house new, and then eidy te walk through the pretty uardeu of his II street homestead ea tMarm et muuni ueraian at- tendant. Jehn A. 3. CmweO, who was poet matter geeenl wide Grant, Is a prom inent banker et Washington, and the oc cupant of a hetwe which haa in its day sheltered the families of six or eight members of the cabinet A young and active man, who may be seen any day en the streets or In the halls of congress, as full of energy as of geed humor, is ex Postmaster General Hatten. He leeks like a boy, but is a successful editor and an influential man. Anether ex-postmaster general who lives in Washington is Horatio King. He was in Buchanan's cabinet, and though net then it young man, is still active and busy, taking as keen interest in public affairs as he ever did. One of his little hobbies is the. writ ing of cards te the newspapers, but as he writes wit and Bcnse it is net by any means an objectienablo fad. The Kings live in an old fashioned heuse, where is held every Saturday night a sort of lit erary social. Here may be found nearly all of the people in Washington whose achievements in the literary field have made them worth meeting. A famous old man, still hale and hearty, is ex-Secretary of the Treasury McCulloch, who has just gene te his country home, net far from Washington, for the summer. Like Mr. King, he de lights in newspaper writing, and like many old men is as fend et controversy as of his pipe. One of the joys of his life consists bf Inviting te his tnble the apostles of protection, such as McKin ley, Sherman or Allisen, and talking tariff te them till the lamp flickers. The Inte Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, was often n guest in the McCulloch house, and it is said the pair have discussed the tariff question six or eight hours at a sit ting. Ex-Secretary and Senater Bayard is still associated with the capital, though chiefly in a Becial way. Ex-Attorney General Garland is making n fortune here in the practice of law. Ex-Senater Cenger, of Michigan, is also n lawyer, nnd n successful one, though liis atten tion is given chiefly te practice befere congress. He is the very efficient nnd vigilant representative in Washington of the Lake Vessel Men's association, an as sociation which embraces a merchant marine interest larger than that of the ontire American merchant inarine en the ocean. Scores of ether ex-senators nnd cx cx representatives nre Washington lawyers or claim agents. ExSonater McDonald has made a great deal of meney repre senting certain interests befere congress. Gen. B. F. Butler is a large property owner here, nnd generally lias enough litigation of his own te keep him busy during the part of each year which he spends in Washington. Ex-Governer William Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, lives nt Vice President Morten's hotel, nnd is said te make a small fertune each year by his spallatiens in Washington real estate. Ex-Congressman Eppa Hunten, of Virginia, whose fame as it great con stitutional lawyer still continues, Is n practicing attorney in Washington. Jehn It. Themas, who was for fen years a member of congress from the Egypt region of Illinois, nnd who de signed a war vessel winch the navy de partment is new building, failed te get an effice under the present admin istration, and is making meney us a lawyer, with navy department work a specialty. One of the most prominent and prosperous lawyers nt the national capital, n man who can command fees which nre small fortunes in them selves, is Judge Shellabargcr, un cx member of congress from Ohie. Gen. Gcerge B. Williams, Phil Thompson, of Kentucky, and J. Hale Syphcr are ether ex-statesmen who nre earning their bread as lawyers within the shadow of the great dome. Ex-Pension Commissioners W. W. Dud ley and James Tanner are both getting rich as pension attorneys. Dudley cm ploys fifteen men in his office, nnd his clientele is rapidly extending. Whatever may be said of his political methods, Dudley is ene of the most popular men in Washington, nnd his professional and privnte reputation is above reproach. An ex-senator who nevcr cared te go into law or claims, but who is content te earn his bread as n modest, becend class clerk in the war department, is Mr. Sawyer, who sat in the senate from Alabama about twenty years nge. Ex-Senater Bruce, the colored man, is a wealthy real cstate owner here, and has lately been appointed te a lucrative effice in the gov ernment of the District of Columbia. Among many ether prominent "exes" is Dr. William A. Hammend, who was for many years surgeon general of the army. He has just built, near the residence of Mrs. Gen. Legan, a home which is a veri table palnce. Walter Wellman. "OLD HUTCH" IN OFF HOURS. The Master or tlie Chicago Wheat nt I a Cleso Student ami n flood Talker. Slieclnl Correspondence Chicago, May 1. When the market Is actlve and the wheat pit en the fleer of the beard of trade contains n buzz ing, shouting, bcreaming swarm of brokers, the eyes of tho&e most deeply interested nre net se much en the dial where the fluctuations in price are being constantly registered as en a grim and terror inspiring figure stalking about near the grand staircase. This is "Old Hutch," ns he has lieen christened by these who have fallen in the fray. Se large a percentnge of the population bear the scars of wounds received in the wheat pit that the fame of B. P. Hutch inson ns a financier is obscured by the notoriety of "Old Hutch." Probably no prominent character in the west is mero generally misunderstood than he. Even his enemies have te ac knowledge that his most disastrous forays en the market have Invariably been pre ceded by repeated warnings te the crowd te "stand from under," which, had they been accepted, would have meant safety. Unprejudiced observers can see plainly enough that what seme of his rivals ac complish by means of trickery, luck and reckless "bluffing," this much traduced veteran ewes te his utraerdinary physi cal vitality, his phenomenal energy and n vigilance that nevcr relaxes for n moment. A verv few of Sir. Hutchinson's busi ness associates knew him as something mero than the terror of the wheat mar ket, and they thoroughly enjoy his so ciety. When Vhangt) oiens they stand nloef, for the "old man" is carrying In his mind the ojierntieus of a dozen brok ers, who nre reiHirting constantly hew the battle wages in the pit. When the bell taps at the clese the veteran stalks a little way up the street te his bank, the Cem Exchange. Here the loose ends of the day's business are picked up nnd some laconic general orders issued for the morrow. Toward 1 p. in. a few con genial spirits will lie found in the Century club drinking in the wtalem that falls from the lips of "Old Hutch." But if any ene expects te hear a word about hew te get money out or wheat, or out of anything else for that matter, disap pointment awaits him. It is Therenii, his favorite philosopher, Margaret Fnller, the disjwrsien of the races, the theory of evolution, thopeetry of Browning, Tennyson , Daute, Shake speare, evolution, religion, art, music, medicine the whole range of subjects which npiic.ll te the intelligence of en lightened humanity btipply texts for the disceurse of this wc'iderful man. His grammar is often fuultv. und Usurenun- elation occasionally something te smite at He sees the smile and affably ex plains hew he never went te school a day in hk life. But he has a rugged eloquence that never fails te impress these who listen. They knew that this man, who is master of trade and finance, has read mero books than the professors, and read them better; that he knows pictures and poetry better than the pain ters and the poets; that he has looked deep into the lives of the men and women of history and found in them mero than their biographers dreamed of. Often the old man holds forth en these matters, eVer an occasional glass of beer and cheese sandwich, until within an hour of dawn. Then his little audience crawls off te lied. But bed is net In the thoughts et "Old Hutch." He gives his big form n shake, and, going te the effice of Ills favorite newspaper, buys the first sheet wet from the press, beards a horse car and is nt the stock yards by sunrise. Usually a dny thus begun makes history in the wheat pit. O. D. The Apache Nemesis. Flagstaff, A. T., April 23. Old man Prier's long hunt en the Apache trail is ended. His body was found recently by two prospectors en the Colerado Cliiqul Cliiqul ie, near Bill Williams mountain. But no Indian had rubbed him out; he had perished of exposure, having beceme tee old te endure the privations of his lonely scouts in the mountains. Many years age old man Prier had a wife nnd two chil dren nnd a ranch in Arizona. One day he returned from n search for seme lest cattle te find the mangled bodies of his wife and children lying beside the smok ing ruins of his cabin. A band of Apaches hail passed that way. k Old man Prier didn't say much, but he rede into the nearest town, bought a let of cartridges nnd rede nway into the mountains. Frem that day old man Prier was seen in the towns nnd mining camp3 of Arizona only when he was out of grub nnd ammunition. He would nsk for a job nt any kind of work, nnd would work hard for a week or two. Then he would spend every cent of his wages for cartridges and previsions nnd disappear. hi old man Prier's eyes every Apache was a hostile, en the reservation or off, nnd he adopted the Apache's own style of warfare bushwhacked 'em when he caught 'em out nlene. Many nn Apache, en geed terms with the government and drawing rations between raids, tumbled off his herse in ceme lonely canyon with ene of old mau Prier's bullets through his head. Old man Prier never talked nbeut his hunts, nor much nlietit any thing else. He took no scalps, nnd there were no tclltnle notches cut in the stock of his rifle, but the old timers, who re membered the murder of his family, knew very well what sort of game he hunted, and net one of them would give him away te the authorities. Settlers, who had buffeted themselves from Apache raids, often fitted out old man Prier without asking any questions or demanding any work trem him in re turn. They would fill up his cartridge belt, glve him a Mipply of beans, flour, Fait, pugar nnd tea and say: "Geed luck, old maul" as he rede away. Hew many Apaches he wiped out no man knows. He had been growing feeble for seme time nnd was unfit for the rough, hard life he led, but he had only one purpese in life, and he stuck te it te the end nnd d cd en the Apache's trail. A. K. Dancing te lllsmurck' Music, All amusing story of Bismark is te the effect that shortly befere his retirement from office he was passing through the royal palnce at Berlin when he entered a room in which the young princes were merrily romping nnd dancing te the musie of u barrel organ. The youngsters insisted that Prince Bisnsirck should stay and dance with them. "I am tee old," said the stiff and stntely septuagen arian, "nnd really I cannot dance, but if the crown prince will dance I will grind the organ." The bargain was nt ence struck. The crown prince joined his two brothers, and Prince Bismarck ground away mer rily at the organ wliile the children danced en in high glee. In the midst et their mirth the deer opened nnd the young kaiser enteral. He smiled te see the redoubtable rcichskanzler grinding the barrel organ, und, after a word of greeting te his sons, he observed In mock displeaxuie te Prince Bismarck, "Yeu begin in geed time te make the heir apparent dance te your piping. Why, this is the feuith generation of Hohenzellerns te whom you doveto yeurselfl" A fcjrljin In Hard Luck. United States Commissioner Lee, nt Paris, Tex., was culled en recently te give an opinion in n case of n most peculiar kind. Jean Qeorge Seizel, a Syrian of Beyreut, requested a warrant for the arrest of his brother's wife. He could net bring Mrs. Seizwl te America, for she was in bad health and lind live children te euro for. HLs sister-in-law, u handseme woman of 20 years, there fore accompanied him, by consent of her husband. Recently they met another Syrian, with whom the woman eloped, nnd went into the Indian territory. By Syrian law Seizel must return the woman in geed condition nnd health te the brother, or he, his wife and children will be punished, or should he net re turn or bring her at the stipulated time, punishment will Iki visited en them. The commissioner could net grant the warrant, but issued a certillcntoHhewing that the woman had abandoned him. This will be forwarded te the United States consul nt Beyreut. An Old Hlcaiiihli Hull.

Than Is Ne Excuse for Making Dad la vesimeni bf ThU Kind. There are few towns and cities In the coun try in which there are het a uJteber of houses which are said te be "eutW style." They are old style house and will net bring the money that was put into tbera. It Is net geed badness te build a heuse that will go out et style. It Is net geed boMneas W put money where one cannot get It again. There are some things that de net go out et style. All such things are founded en common sense. The requirements et housekeeping de net change materially from yssr te year, and a house plan which meets all of the re quirements of the housekeeper U rarely ssid te be out or style. KUCVATIOS.
