THE WHITE HOUSE MISTRESS.
lr. MvKliiley'a Mays In Wmihttigton
Jut U'liat They Mere In (Union.
"The fact that Mrs. McKinley gave a
necktie which she herself knitted to a
Johns man in Washington at his wed
ding," said a woman who spent the
Master holidays in Washington, "calls
attention again to the simplicity and
unaftectedness of the tastes of the llrst
magistrate's wife. She has not allowed
the change In her position to affect
these matters In the least, and she was
no more natural and modest in her for
mer home than she is to-day. There
she would have felt that something
from her own hands was the sort of
present that she preferred to give,
fc'he felt the same thing lu Washing
tun. and the knit four-m-hand scarf
which she gave to her young friend as
a wedding present was given to him
In Washington with the same frank
ness that would have t>een shown In
Canton.
MRS. M'KINLEY.
"I remember at Easter that she
showed to a friend of mine some of
the beautiful souvenirs that had been
sent to her from different parts of the
country. There were some lovely
things among them, but she reserved
till the last the one which she appre
ciated most. It was made for her by
an old friend in Ohio. It was in the
form of one of those glistening eggs of
rock candy, but it was larger than they
usually are. At one end was a hole
through which one could look. The
picture inside was a remarkably good
reproduction of the White House
grounds done in colored paper. On the
lawn were two youths playing. The
whole picture was very ingeniously
done. Mrs. McKinley explained that
the two boys were her young sons, who
had died many years before. Mrs. Mc-
Kinley told me that among all the sou
venirs sent to her. and some of them
were the most expensive that could
well be bought, she preferred the Eas
ter egg. Her friends have often found
other instances that prove how little
changed her taste has been by her re
moval to the position of the first lady
in the land."
CAN CUBA GOVERN HERSELF.
A Grave Question ilriefly Answered
Itritve Men an I.uaders.
To question whether the Cubans can
govern themselves, in view of such tes
timony, is a gratuitous doubt, having
no warrant in reason or history. Noth
ing, on the other hand, is more certain
than that the government of one coun
try by the sojourning natives of anoth
er, even with the best of intentions,
must result In injustice and bad gov
ernment. As for the blacks, they are
rapidly disappearing, and must soon
cease to be a cause of any future race
prejudice. The ranks or the Cuban ar
my are of an average intelligence above
that of the Spanish population, which
Is fearfully Ignorant and credulous.
The Cubans have not been a turbu
lent people. Though their history has
been a long series of revolutions, they
have never resorted to arms until every
peaceful means of redress had been
tried. In those brief intervals of peace
which have sometimes visited the is
land, Cubans have sought to effect, by
constitutional agitation, the reforms of
existing abuses. Such attempts have
never at any time succeeded.
There are higher questions, too, to be
considered. There is no whining tone
In the indomitable self-reliance of the
Cuban leaders. Moving freely over
three-quarters of the island, they have
knocked at the very gates of Havana;
they have held in check a force out
numbering their own at all times three
or four to one, cooped up in their forti
fied towns. They die, too, with cries
for Cuba free, as they did In the ten
years' war—the thought of Indepen
dence last in their hearts and on their
lips. Their unconqueruble souls go
forth to that freedom they could not
win on their narrow stretch of earth.
Love of liberty is the Burest guarantee
of representative government; that
these men have given to the world the
purest example of such devotion that
history has known proves them fit for
self-government.—Joseph Dana Miller
In Godey's.

NEW YORK LETTER.
Special f'nrrnspmdonce.
The metropolis is so immense that a
i . • T-e men is completely swallowed
uji in It, while even a groat man gets
hst therein. Two years ago John U.
Carlisle was one of the half dozen
gr.a'.st men in the public life of the
nation. On his retirement from office
last year lie er.me to New York to llv™,
?nU has since (hen scarcely been hoard
of. tie has been entirely lost to public
view, and it was with a sense of sur
prise that people learned that he had
applied for admission to the bar of the
supreme court of New York.
Ilyrnc* Broke.
One of the interesting rumors of the
elny tells us that former Police Super
intend ?nt Bvrnes lias lost the larger
part of his fortune in unlucky ventures
in Wall street. He was worth, when
he left No. 300 Mulberry street, more
than half a million. There Is a differ
ence between having a Gould to back
you and having to back yourself.
When Byrnes was head of the police
department men with good things in
the market were chasing after him to
carrj' a line of stocks for him, but as
an unofficial citizen he has been obliged
to root for himself, employ brokers and
put up margins.
Au Knt.rprl.ltig Postmistress.
There is a young woman postmistress
In Brooklyn who has a great many
postage stamp friends, and thereby a
largely increased revenue. The amount
of her salary is averaged by the sales
she makes. Hence, she being a busi
nesslike young woman, whenever she
meets anyone who uses stamps by the
quantity she offers her wares and also
offers to send them by messenger if th*
might-be purchaser is not within eas"
distance for calling. One New York
business man, who buys $l3O worth of
stamps a month, and who lives in
Brooklyn, buj-s always of the Brooklyn
girl and increases her salary $3 a week
without any effort on his part.
bourn's Hand Not Going to Kurope.
n account of the strong prejudice ex
isting in France against the United
States during this war with Spain, Sou
sa's band will not make the tour of
Europe this summer as had been plan
ned. Shopkeepers in Paris are feeling
the loss of trade caused by the absence
of Americans this year, and all over
Europe the touring Yankee will be
missed. Moreover, it is stated that
many patriotic ladies of fashion have
resolved not to order their gowns from
Paris this year, but to patronize the
home dressmakers. If this feeling
grows, the Paris Exposition of 1900 may
suffer In interest and attendance by the
absence of Americans.
Colon**! Slocuiu.
There is a dignified old gentleman in
this city who speaks only tour words a
day outside of his office. Thev are
"Good morning" and "Good afternoon."
He is Colonel Slocum, the right hand
of Uncle Russell Sage, of whom he has
the exalted honor to be a brother-in
law. The great world of finance hard
ly knows the colonel at sight, so sel
dom does he leave the side of his chief.
He occupies the front hall room on the
third floor of Uncle Russell's residence
In Fifth avenue, and pays board. Dur
ing the Columbian parade, when win
dows were renting for fabulous prices
per day, Colonel Slocum sat in his
small room observing the mighty spec
tacle. A few days afterward, It is said
in the street, Mr. Sage instructed his
bookkeeper to enter a charge of S2OO
against his brother-in-law for the use
of his own bed room window on that
occasion, such being a fair average
price in that vicinity.
Didn't Know It wo. Hetty.
A dignified Cedar street man of mil
lions and affairs has been pestered
lately by feminine almsfolk, and being
of Irascible disposition, his feelings are
highly wrought, says the New York
Press. One day an old woman in a
dark, rusty dress and a faded bonnet,
entered his door. At the first sight of
her he bolted for his private office and,
summoning his bookkeeper, said in a
state of great panic: "Get her away
from here as soon as possible. I can't
stand It any longer. Tell her I have
nothing for her. I can't see her. I
can't assist her. Tell her I'm not here."
In about three minutes the bookkeeper
returned. "Do you know who that
was?" he asked. 'Certainly not," said
the man who worships money and its
owners. "It was Mrs. Hetty Green,
come to see you about that $30,000
mortgage," quietly remarked the man
of ledgers, and such wriggling as fol
lowed! A cold perspiration was fol
lowed by a hot fever, and the old gen
tleman is now in bed groaning over his
awful mistake.
Swell*. In Hill Njivy.
The Flm Naval Battalion of this
city l-.as furnished to the navy fifteen
officers and three hundred men. It
would not be difficult to find a "good
story" there. For instance, W. Butler
Duncan, Jr., lately commander of the
battalion, is now lieutenant on the
Yankee. Mr. Duncan is worth about
$3,000,000. A member of the De Kay
family, which has produced commo
dores and captains. Is an able seaman
on the same ship. Young "Dick"
Meade, a son of Admiral Meade, Is a
boatswain's mate. So Is Eugene Wll
lard, a son of E. A. Wlllard, who man
aged the Vigilant for George Gould.
"Gus" Wlllard, the other son, is an able
seaman. W. I. Zeroga, the noted small
yacht sailor, is a quartermaster. The
ship's cook Is Mr. Ciaude Beresford.
S. Nicholson Kane, ex-commodore of
the New York Yacht Club, and former
chairman of the regatta committee, is
serving as a lieutenant on the St.
Paul. Mr. Kane is a graduate of the
Naval Academy, and he volunteered
without any fuss or feathers. There
are many gentlemen of adventurous
spirit at sea to-day, though the times
of Sir Francis Drake are dead and bur

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Special Correspondence.
Many stories have been told, and
some of them have been printed, to
show that in some states the National
Guard was but a name. This has not
been charged against New York, New
, Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachu
setts, and perhaps a few other states,
In which annual camps have been en
forced, and a degree of discipline ob
tained that was akin to the discipline
in the regular service. Nothing could
have been much more convincing of the
unpreparedness of the National Guard
than the arrival at Chickamauga of the
Michigan regiment that was provided
with excellent uniforms, but only five
rifles to each company. This was bare
ly enough to provide the sentries with
arms. Worse than that was the con
dition of the Ohio cavalry which reach
ed camp with but one carbine to the
whole command. Different explana
tions have been given of this lack of
preparation, but from sources that
seem to be entitled to respect, It is
learned that some states that have had
great difficulty in collecting from the
government the amounts advanced bv
them to equip the troops for the re
bellion have determined that the gov
ernment shall be obliged to do its out
fitting, go as to avoid the expense to
the states of maintaining agents here,
for thirty years after the war, to col
lect the money put out In order to fa
cilitate the movement of equipped
troops. One advantage to be gained
by forcing the government to equip
will be uniformity of equipment of the
troops. Still, equipping takes time, and
General Miles Is of the opinion that It
Is better to take time to get ready than
It will be to take defeats as the result
of unreadiness.
lfeinoritllzntlon by War.
Soon after the meeting of Congress,
in December, the expectation was free
ly Indulged on the Republican side of
the House, that there would be no oc
casion for keeping Congress here later
than May 1, and Speaker Reed was
quite confident that all the necessary
business of the country could be dis
posed of before that date. Of course
at that time the cloud of war was not
BO thick, as It soon became. But to the
speaker, who has never held the opin
ion that the war was unavoidable, and
who still refers to It as something that
might have been avoided, the hope of
an early adjournment was based upon
political and humanitarian reasons.
Politically he believed that the forc
ing of a war would break up the finan
cial recuperation of the government,
interrupting the tendency on the part
of the revenues under the Dingley law
to exceed the expenditures in times of
peace. And now, when the expenses
exceed the income a million or more a
day, the effect of war is demonstrating
the demoralizing tendency In govern
ment of that condition. All small
economies, all regard for administra
tive rules, seem to have suffered a let
ting down.
Very soon the president may be ex
pected to yield to the political demand,
successfully resisted until now. that the
civil service law shall not apply to the
government printing office, where It
has been well applied, until the pres
ent public printer came In to defy the
law and the president, who is sworn to
support it. The "looting" of the print
ing office to suit the spoilsmen will be
that "backward step" which the presi
dent once said in congress mußt not be
taken with reference to the civil ser
vice law. The war excitement will ob
scure this backward step.
Honor Mendonca.
Senor Mendonca, as Brazilian minis
ter, went away generally regretted. I
have heard It said by two secretaries
of state of different parties, that no
wiser or more fully enlightened man
has occupied a diplomatic station here
for thirty years. Added to this high
opinion of his diplomatic ability, hl3
agreeable personality and a cordial ap
preciation of and sympathy with Amer
ican Institutions, have endeared him
to the people quite as much as the gen
erous hospitality for which the Bra
zilian legation has been famous for
years. Dr. Mendonca was fortunately
not a new or strange minister to the
United States In the yet most trying
moment in the history of the Brazilian
republic. When the naval revolt against
the republic broke out, and De Mello
undertook to overthrow the adminis
tration of the then president of Brazil,
Dr. Mendonca knew that behind the
admitted object of the revolt was a
determination to restore the monarchy.
Like a watchman on a tower, he con
stantly observed every movement of
the revolutionists to secure from the
United States that recognition of bel
ligerency for which De Mello flrst, and
afterward Saldanha de Gama, mad?
strenuous efforts. Ai one very critical
moment this perpetual watchfulness
and solicitude probably saved the re
public, with the aid of Secretary of
State Gresham. De Mello, impatient of
the slow progress made in the south of
Brazil In setting up the form of a gov
ernment by rebels, hurried away
to Desterro, and left Saldanha in com
mand of the revolutionary fleet in Rto
harbor. Soon after Saldanha announc
ed a government at Desterro, and pro
duced the paper cabinet to prove its
existence. And at the same time he re
newed to our minister, the late Mr.
Thompson, the request for recognition.
Saldanha did not know It, but Dr. Men
donca at once notified the department
of state that Saldanha had issued a
proclamation declaring it to be his ob
ject to restore the status of Novem
ber, 1889. That meant the restoration
of the monarchy. Mr. Gresham saw the
peril of the republic at once, recognition
was withheld. Admiral Benham was
directed to protect American vessels In
Rio harbor, the rebel navy was out
lawed and the republic was saved.
