When a woman makes up her mind to get into the charmed circle of so ciety there is noth- O'ltmblntc the ingin heaven above Social I.adder. n()r on tJ)e earth beneath that will check her effort. A story in illustration of this persist ency of the fair ones is told by a well-known leader in Washington so ciety, says the Chicago Chronicle. In high officialdom is a little lady, dainty as a spring crocus, who was a mem ber of the inner circle long before she became a part of officialdom. On one of her last reception days she was chatting with cabinet women when the servant announced the arrival of a woman who is struggling to get into things as never a social climber struggled before. The hostess knew her by sight merely and had never so much as had a bowing acquaint ance with her, but official people are used to seeing strangers at their re ceptions and the lady of the house bowed with her usual graciousness. The climber's quick eye took in the situation. She saw the two cabinet women and she knew they saw her. She rose to the occasion in masterly fashion. "My dear Mrs. Blank," she said, gushingly, clasping her hostess' hand warmly, "I was so sorry not to have been at home when you called on Friday. It was so sweet of you to come so soon and 1 do hope you'll come in very often, informally, that way." And before the hostess had re covered from her surprise the climber had passed on, well content, for she had appeared in the presence of two cabinet women as the intimate friend of a lady who had never set foot cjr her doorstep. On June 1 many thousands of men officially known as enumerators began Help the t0 ,ake the twelfth census of the Unit- Kn (i m era tor. , r ,, ed States. During the month they will be expected to visit every home. They will ask many ques tions. Xot one of these questions is unnecessary, and, rightly regarded, none is impertinent. Every accurate answer will help to carry out the pur pose of the census, which is to deter mine and record the social condition and industrial stiaiding of the peopln of this country. Truth-telling cannot possibly have embarrassing results. The information given the enumerator will not be used as a basis of taxation nor communicated to any assessor; and if the enumerator makes any facts pub lic he will be liable to a heavy penalty. The enumerators will undoubtedly try to do their work discreetly and well, for they are reputable citizens, care fully chosen. The government gives them all the aid it can, in the form of instructions so comprehensive that they fill a pamphlet of 04 pages. Hut the success of the census really depends upon the intelligent cooperation of the people. Receive the enumerator cour teously, urges Youth's Companion, an swer his questions frankly and in no way hamper or delay him. lie is the agi nt of a great governmental enter prise which should interest and must benefit every citizen of the United Slat es. The Boston Transcript tells of an Episcopal church that is being sued because it is not sufficiently "Iligh church." It appears that a certain person left money to this church, with the provision that the services should come up to a certain standard ol churchmanship. The minister has failed, it is olaiined, to get as much ritualism into the service and tlie re sponses of his flock as the money calls for. "English as she is spoke" was exem plified at the bridge soon after the con solidation o.f the roads, when a public school-teacher of Manhattan was over heard to ask at a ticket window: "Does it make any difference what train you take w here you buy your ticket now V The ticket seller, stolidly oblivious to the ambiguity of ■.he question, replied that it did not. A recent rearrangement of the relies in the agricultural museum in the L'ni versity of Illinois brought to light th< old ox yoke made by Abraham Lincoln and presented to the university in tin early '7os. By order of President Draper the yoke was inclosed in a glass topped case made of boards from tin old Lincoln home at S-priujrfield. OHIO'S HOOD TIMES.

"There is no reason why Ohio should not give President MeKinley this year the biggest majority that it lias ever given to any republican candidate for president. On the contrary, there is every reason why it should," says lion. Jacob 11. Bromwell, of Cincinnati, O. "The increase in business, the great er employment of labor, with a much larger amount of wages circulated within the iast few years, when con trasted with the poverty-stricken con ditions under a previous administra tion, are conclusive proof that a re publican administration' is the best tiling for the United States, and cer tainly for Ohio. It is safe to say that every person in the Buckeye state has felt, in some shape or man ner, the benefits arising from Pres ident McKinlcy's administration, and from the protective tarilr for which he has always been the strongest ad vocate in the country.

THE GOLD STANDARD Caused a Saving of $6,604,454 to the Government. Total Amount of HOIIIIM Kxchaaiced \\ no *«o—A|>|illontloiiM for Sew National ItnnUx I niier New l.itw. Representative Brosius, of Pennsyl vania, chairman of the house commit tee on banking and currency, has made a statement, official in character, and based on information carefully pre pared by the treasury department, on the workings of the recently enacted financial law. The statement says in part: "The refunding provisions of the law are working out an achievement in finance without a parallel in the his tory of the world. The statement I submit is official and shows the amount of bonds of each kind ex changed since the law went into opera tion, March 14, to the Ist day of May, 1900, together with the saving in in terest. the premium paid 1 , and the net saving." The statement shows the following totals: Amount refunded, $260,020,250; sav ing in interest. $32,699,255; premium paid, $26,034,771; net savings, $6,664,- 454. The "net savings" shown by this statement represents the difference between the amount of interest the government will pay upon the. bonds refunded to the date of their respective maturities, and the amount of interest the government would have been obliged to pay had not the bonds above described been thus refunded. "It will be observed that the total amount of bonds exchanged is $260,- 020.750. The treasurer has already made full settlement for bonds amount ing to $259,051,950, and of the prem iums paid and to be paid. $26,034,771, the treasurer has already paid $25,- 923.732. leaving unpaid only about SIIO,OOO. Of the $260,027,050 bonds ex changed. $48,508,000 were from institu tions or private persons other than na tional banks. "The operation of legal tender re demption under the provisions of the law exhibits a highly satisfactory con dition of public confidence in our gov ernment paper and is a happy omen for the success of that branch of our monetary system in the future. The secretary of the treasury informs me that the amount of United States notes redeemed in gold out of the reserve fund since the new law went into opera tion is $5,133,149." The most interesting of Mr. Brosius' statement is a table prepared by the treasury showing the extent to which new national banks have been organ ized under the new law. The total number of applications approved is 244, with a capital of $8,380,000. The total applications on file for author ity to organize national banks is 508. the total applications for the conver sion of old banks into national banks is 382, making a total of all kinds of new bank organizations of 890. Mr. Brosius also adds, from unofficial but reliable sources, a detailed esti mate of $124,788,858, as the amount of currency the national banks may issue in the near future, as gathered-from their expressed intention.

Prosperity In Colornilo. Colorado's bank deposits have more than doubled in five years, increasing from $9,379,733 in 1894 to $20,0-58,377 in 1899. The number of people who had bank accounts increased in the same time from 18,532 up to 30,047. This can be credited up to McKinley prosperity, and accounts in part for the fact that thousands oIS Colorado men who left the republican party in 1896 are returning to it. fIuy IVIK Sliovel*. A shovel cost six and one-half cents more last year than in 1896. Corn was 14 cents a bushel higher, so that the farmer could buy two shovels last year, and the only additional cost would be his extra profit on two bushels of corn. Even then he would still have a cent left to putin the baby's bank. Mr. Morton'* I'OKltlon. lion. .T.

Philadelphia, June 16. —The repub lican national committee yesterday putin three long sessions on the con tests brought before it, and adjourn ed late at night with all of the con troversies practically disposed of ex cept that from Delaware. This lias been referred back to the sub-coin niittee, with instructions to again en deavor to bring the factions to a basis of agreement and will receive filial action to-day. An important action Friday was the seating of the lirown loiv delegates in the Tennessee eon test and refusing admission to the friends of Pension Commissioner Kv nns. The contest, was very bitter and at one time there was the possibility of a serious encounter between Brownlow and Evans. The most interesting feature of the day was the speech of Senator Hanna in the Delaware case. Senator llanmi is anxious to harmonize the factions in Delaware and his speech before the committee urging another attempt at agreement showed his leeling in the matter. The action of the committee in the various contests lias caused it to be irencrall.v remarked that it has not been influenced in the least Iv Ibis leaders. Senator 1 (anna's friends from the south, especially the oflice-hold prs. have received scant consideration. Where there were rival factions of office-holders, as in Alabama, both sides have been denied scats. The defeat of Winiberly in Louisiana and the elevation of Warmouth is said to have been antagonistic to the wishes of the close friends of the adminis tration. Speculation, gossip nnd informal conferences among national commit teemen and other leading republicans who are here has failed to indicate a crystallization of sentiment arounl any individual. .Neither Senator Han na nor those who are close to him give anv intimation that the admin istration has a choice. The number of delegates who will vote for any man that the administration favors seems to accentuate the general im pression that the nominee will be the man most satisfactory to the presi dent. "If \ou would take us into your confidence on this vice presiden tial matter it would simplify the sit uation greatly and gi\e us an oppor tunity to do what the president would like," said a prominent republican to Senator Hanna yesterday, and the re ply he made was: ' You know all that I know about it." Senator Piatt's talk of Odell. of New York, caused a little flutter here, and Dolliver stock took an upward turn about the same time, the cause being the impression that in easj Odell should be pressed by New York there would be a concentration on the lowa congressman by those who do not favor the New Yorker. The candidacy of Lieut, tlov. Wood ruff. of New York, who has arrived here, is still being kept in evidence by his friends, but apparently without any backing from the republican managers and with the distinct dis approval of Senator Hanna. It is generally believed that Sena tor Allison has made it plain that be will not be a candidate under any circumstances. • The position of Secretary Long causes considerable comment, and it is being freely asked why the Long candidacy should proceed so far un less it has the tacit consent of the president. The fact that Long is a member of McKinle.v's cabinet gives rise to a widespread belief that the secretary of the navy will finally re ceive the support of the administra tion. If such is the case, however, it. is being carefully kept from view. As the matter stands now it would seem that Long, Dolliver arid Fair banks are lhc leading possibilities for vice president. "Olin Day" at Koeliemter. Rochester, X. Y., June 16.—"'Oils day"was a memorable occasion for Rochester and the people of western New York who extended a welcome back to his old home of the man who for two years ruled the Philippines. There were 100,000 strangers in the city. (ien. Joseph Wheeler reached the city about noon, and was given an enthusiastic reception. The cele bration began with the firing of a major general's salute and reached its climax in the parade which took place in the afternoon. The United States army was represented by about 1.200 men. The Marine band from Washington was also a feature of the procession. Dew ey See* lie In Out of tlie Itiimiiii:; New York, June 16. —The Herald's Washington correspondent sends a report of an interview with Admiral Dewey, in which he is represented as confessing that his presidential pros pects are not good, lie said: "Some time ago the leaders, or those whom we have always regarded as the lead ers, asked me if I would allow my name to be used in connection with the presidency. After thinking this proposition over I said 'Yes.' and an nounced that if the people wanted mc 11: serve in that capacity I would gladly do so. But I thank (iod they do not appear to want me."
