'WASHnrGTOK', May 24. I s now more
than ever convinced that Mr. If Rat's mania
for sketching; is an incurable one. To most
people myself included it would
naturally seem to be merely an innocent
tnd diverting penchant; and I am equally
sure thai it affords the keenest pleasure to
Xast himself. Bnt while he is here at the
National Capitol I have felt it my duty to
endeavor, as lar as possible, to repress his
predilection, being apprehensive that it will
sooner or later get bim into trouble.
When I met him yesterday I was deeply
pained to find that, far from being satisfied
with his recent visit to the House of Repre
sentatives when his flippant remarks with
his pencil kept me in a Mate of nervous agi
tationhe wanted to repeat the experience.
For a small man he is intensely brave. This
characteristic is, I suppose, common to great
geniuses, particularly artists, who have no
more dread of the august front of our na
tional legislators than they have of an un
paid tailor's bill. This I infer from the free
treatment of the aforesaid legislators when
ever they have given sittings either to painter
or sculptor. But the treatment applied by
my freakish friend exceeds in freedom and
titter fearlessness all that has gone before it.
He greeted me with a sunny smile, as I
encountered bim yesterday. It was a de
ceptive smile; not fugitive, but still there
was a something lurking behind it that be
tokened a spirit of mirth and raillery that is
tadlv out of place in the Nation's Capital.
I believe this man Nast would laugh at a
Cabinet meeting and draw sketches even in
the presence of the President himself, to say
nothing of how he would fool with Baby
McKee.
"I have been walking around a bit," he
said, pansing and tapping his round little
chest with his lorefinger, "but I haven't met
anybody I know in town. Has everybody

gone away? Or is it possible that they all
avoid me and stand indoors on account of
my little sketches?"
I intimated that it was possible that the
people of Washington had taken this means
of showing their displeasure.
"Sou may remember that I warned you,"
said I.
We entered the House together, and he
was hardly ensconced in a seat a little dis
tance from mine, when the quick pencil was
out and at work traveling up and down
across the paper, in a series of gyrations
thatattracted my attention.
"Ahl" said I, coming upon him suddenlv,
"you are at it again I see."
"Xo.no;" I am just sketching a dainty
moss-ell" (he makesdreadful puns), "which
was too tempting to resist I suppose that
man over there, who has assumed so striking
a pose against the chair is one of the great
statesmen of the nation. Does he draw all
the bills for the House? He looks as though
he could draw any thing from a bill to a
tooth."
"Obi no; that is Mr. Morse, the member
from Massachusetts," said I, astonished at
his persistent levity.
"Moss, did; you say?" echoed the little
artist dubiously. "Well, it's a good name.
Those wnisLers, how ahl" and he added
here a stroke and there a dash of the pencil
to the flowing Dundreary's of theMassachu-

setts statesman, who stood dimly regarding
us with the fixed eye of fate. "Tnose
whiskers are enough "to make fame for the
possessor. Alas! Why can not we, too,
have whiskers lite him?"
I had to rub my chin contemplatively in
order to repress a smile at so much guile
lesness. "Who is that ex-prize fighter, with
. clenched fist, now rising from his seat over
jopdcrT" interrogated Mr. Hast, who in a
moment ,pf forgetfulness had chewed his soft
crayon'In half. He was now whetting it for
"fejfurther attack.

an artist was a judge of men and could read
character and temperament through the
features and expression. That is one of our
very ablest and foremost men Mr. Carlisle,
of the Covington district in Kentucky, ex
Speaker of the House."
"Well, what is the matter with my
physical diagnosis? I have the greatest
respect for prize fighters, and in my time
have associated with many of them, includ
ing Heenan and Sayers I knew at once by
that man's looks that he was a prize fighter,
and so be is. How much better off is a man
with a big body like that man's and a
heart to match I don't doubt than a narrow-faced,
cramp-chested tellow, who is all
talk and no fight whatever?"
And Mr. Hast assumed an injured air,
yet there was a suggestion of a swagger
about the little man as though he, too.
HEAED, THE HANDY
would fain be considered one of the
"b'hoys." It dawned upon me that I had
discovered a new quality in my friend. He
was something oi a sport himself. I in
stantly felt my reppect for him rising.
"Ah! there is the handy man of your
Congress, I suppose. Look, quick! Who
is he?" and he pointed across the cham
ber. "That is Mr. Hea'd, from Missonri. He
is a great orator, also, and a rising man in
his party."
"Indeed!" I should think it dangerous
to have such a man around.- Suppose he

should ever lay hands on the Government;
what would become of it?"
And the little man threw down his pencil
and shook with convulsions of laughter.
"The idea is absurd," said I, severelv.
"Why, if he did; some other member would
put his foot down. Xou may not have ob
served some of those leet."
At this ITast suddenly reached out and
grasped my hand.
"Come, now; that isn't bad for you. In

fact, it's pretty good, for you are such a
solemn chap, you know. Tell me, who is
that man walking up and down the aisle on
a steady trot, as though he were waiting for
some one to come out so that he might whip
him ? He has a threatening look on his
face that bodes no good to the offender, who
ever that unlucky mortal may be."
"That? Why, that's Mr. Martin, of
Texas." . '
"A fire-eater, is he?" with a shrug.
"Well, no," I answered. "He has quite
a reputation as a blower, though, but not of
that sort, you see. He blew out the gas in
his room on the first night of his arrival.
But would you believe it? the gas got
the better of bim, for next morning'he was
picked up for dead."
Mr. East rubbed his nose thoughtfully
and then slowlv remarked:
"That's another pretty good one particu
larly for you. Now, I must see if I can't
go you one better."
And the de:t fingers went rapidly to work
again. In a moment he had turned off a
screaming sketch of Martin, knife and re
volver in hand, blowing out not the gas
but the electric light.
"There, you Texan Ajax I like him, isn't
it ? I wonder if he could blow that out If
he tried? Well, we have had enough of
this dull assemblage of statesmen for one
day. Come, let us saunter down as far as
Willard's and we can chat by the way about
something more amnsing, perhaps. And
yet, do you know, there is something dread-
tully fascinating found is the study of these '
Congressional giants of yours. They are
unique in pose, expression and language
and, together, would make a gallery that
would be sure to attiact attention in the
grandest salon of the world."

It used to be quite the common thing for
vomea of wealth to bequeath large sums of
money to colleges for young men; to schools
of theology wnere poor students could be
trained by charity for the ministry, or to the
foreign missionary societies. But the indi
cations now are that they incline more and
more to bestow their benefactions for the
benefit of girls rather than boys. Many of
the older colleges are largely indebted to
women for rich gilts and endowments, and
yet they would not admit a woman within
their walls to get a share of their great ad
vantages. But that the gates are creaking
upon their hinges to open to women becomes
more and more evident every year. Even
Princeton shows signs of being stirred up,
and Dr. Patton'a brains are evidently work
ing. Miss Mary Garrett, who has made Herself
famous as a master mind in the affairs of
the Baltimore and Ohio Ballroad, has
furnished the funds for a new college build
ing in Baltimore lor girls, to be of thesame
high educational standard as flryn Mawr.
Her contribution was $250,000 to begin with.
Miss Garrett is one of the richest women in
America. She has, moreover, inherited the
executive business ability of her father, who
was the President of the Baltimore and
Ohio, and is said "to run the road"
even more successfully than did he or her
brother before his illness.
DOTV1T IN LOUISIANA.
Tulane University in New Orleans has
done the equivalent of opening its doors to
women, since by a gift of Mrs. Newcomb
its trustees will open the Sophie Newcomb
College in conjunction with the Tulane for
the education oi women, where the course of
study will be precisely the same as in the
University. Many people of liberal idea
will regard this use of money as exhibiting
vastly more sense than sending it off to be
frittered away upon Hottentots or Hindoos,
while many of the children of this country
are growing up into ignorant ragamuffius,
and a state of barbarism exists in parts of
all great cities which equals and excells any
thing related of far-off India or Japan, or
Greenland's icy mountains.
Back in the earlier days it was the com
mon thing for mother and sisters to toil, to
save, to contrive, to deny themselves, not
only luxuries but the commonest comforts
of life, in order that the boys of the family
should go to college and be educated for a
profession. Lucy Stone tells how shocked
her good people were when she said she did
not see why she couldn't go to college as
well as ber brother, and how the remarks
made on the subject as to a girl thinking of
such a thing ronsed her wrath and so ex
cited her ambition that she made up her
mind she would go to college, and would
show them that a girl had some brains as
well as a boy. Fired with this endeavor
she bent every energy of mind and body in
teaching to securing enough monev to go to
Oberlin, the only college in the country at
that time open to women, where, to the con
sternation of the faculty, she talked
"woman's rights" to the students.
HISTORY. OF CO-EDUCATION.
Colleges were organized for men before
girls were even allowed to attend the public
schools. This shows how slowly the idea
grew that womau should be educated lor
anything save housework. How far the ad
vantages ot women as to college education
are behind those of men, and how much les
monev is spent on the girls than the "dear
boys" the lollowing statistics show:
Value of grounds, buildings and apparatus
of colleges lor women, $9,635,282; productive
funds, $2,376,619; income from productive
funds. 5136,801.
Vilue of grounds, buildings, etc., of
colleges for men, $62,376,638; productive
funds of same, $57,782,303; income from
productive funds, $3,271,991.
These figures tell the story of how men
have been favored as to cash, and yet trav
elers from abroad say they find the women
of America on the average more intelligent
man me men. xnis is not true, as we all
know, but culture will come even with the
disadvantages under which women labor.
The class ot women who most need educa
tion are those who with leisure and money
devote themselves to charity and philan
thropy oltentimes so misdirected by senti
ment and want of logical thought as to be
more productive of harm than good. Men
under the drill of daily business are much
more practically intelligent than women as
a class. The latter are more inclined to
sentiment than logic, and the study of so
cial problems, but the study of these would
take the nonsense out of them, and make of
them more uselul, practical and sensible
beings the sort of women men most need
and wish for after the honeymoon is over.
THE &KEATEST GOOD.
Women eager and anxious to do the most
good should spend of their wealth for the
edncatiou oi women. Ignorance in women
sustains superstition, fosters narrowness and
prejudice, carries on from age to age the
foolishness of the past. A study of polit
ical economy would prevent women engaged
in charity and missionary enterprises lrom
wasting millions of dollars on unworthy ob
jects and foolish enterprises. Those possess
ing means should become patrons of learn
ing, endow colleges, establish fellowships
and offer all encouragement to young1
women instead of giving money to theolog
ical seminaries or colleges for men only.
Senator Stanford and Mrs. Stanford will
shortly open one of the best endowed and
most magnificently equipped colleges in the
United States. The Dest talent ot Europe
and this country is to be secured for its
fiiculty. Mrs. Stanford is responsible for
the fact that this great institution Adelbert
College is to be co-educational women
and men standing on a per ect equality in
every respect, as they do in Michigan Uni
versity, Ohio State University, London Uni
versityall the universities of Italy, of
Switzerland, and Australia. England,
France, Canada and this country arc not
committed to such an extent, but they are
getting there. Even Columbia College, in
New York, where Bev. Dr. Dix showed
such generalship uud fighting powers in the
endeavor to exclude women from its sacred
precincts, has surrendered, and "Barnard"
is Hie monument of the defeat of those who
opposed extending the privileges of higher
education to women.
THE SOCIETY WOMEN.
Dr. Dix predicted all manner of evils
which have not and will not come to pass.
The women who go to college with an ambi
tion for knowledge are not of the society
class whicu he so ruthlessly assailed in bis
Lenten sermons some time ago. The aspira
tion and ambition of such society is not to
gain honors in learning, but to marry into
.European noDiiuy, ana spiurge arouna as a
circus for the gaping multitude. From so
ciety so called comes the "decayed gentility"
who, when lortune flies as fortune has a
habit of doing are lelt stranded to take
reluge in the Louise Home or some similar
charitable institution, or poor house.
The worst about many wealthy people in
the education of their daughters is that, not
appreciating the value ot education, they
send them to some showy and fashionable
finishing school, where they are taught how
to bow in court style, how to bick without
climbing up on their trains, how to receive
at a reception, how to look interested to a
bore, if he is an accredited high family
noodle; "how to acquire society style, put on
French airs, to wield a fan effectively, and
how to pat down and keep out et their set
i
those who aspire to get in, and in short, to
be a success as a debutante, and then as a
matter of business, to marry a title, or
money, or position. These are they who
really need a college education, and conld
get it if it were not for the fashionable stan
dards of society. These are they who are
the prey of ennui, and who, when" they fail
to make what society considers an advan
tageous marriage, become monuments of the
ucgiect ot oetter things, of dearth of culture,
ot inability to take care of themselves.
FKOSI THE STANDPOINT OP PLEASURE.
Parents who have wealth, who only edu
cate their daughters for society, little real
ize how empty their lives may become, how
sorry their late may be, how slender their
resources for the enjoyment of the pleasures
of the mind. To study, to read, to acquire
knowledge are 'delights far beyond the
amusements of society, however brilliant.
But were these favored women cultured, in
telligent, brainy, rather than devoted to
fads, fashion and clothes, what a power they
might become. If it was the style to be ed
ucatednot learned but educated so as not
to give their best powers rather than theiT
lowest to the advancement ot society and
the highest interests of humanity, what good
would resultl
How much of the sweetness of life, women
of wealth, who know Tittle beyond the sham
and veneer of the fashionable school, miss.
They cannot know in days of prosperity;
bnt in adversity, they realize to the bottom
of their soles that they have not been well
prepared for the battle of life. Culture,
knowledge, high education, or whatever it
may be called, is a source of pleasure, a
well spring of delight, a means ot good, a
reserve force for a rainy day, a guard against
ennui; and people of means who debar their
daughters from the opportunity of expanding
their best faculties, of letting loose the force
of intellect, do them an incalculable injury
that can only be excused by ignorance.
NETEE TOO LATE TO BEGIN.
But women can learn. It is never too
late to improve. One woman whose am
bition to go to, college was frnstrated by
poverty went to" Michican University ana
studied law when she was over 50 after her
husband had died and all her children were
settled in life not lrom necessity of making
a living, but through love of learning only.
To this famous educational college Mrs.
Elisha Jones has recently given $10,000 for
the endowment of a fellowship as a memor
ial of her husband.
In the giving of gifts by women for the
edncation ot their sex, we wish it would
strike someone who-is rich enough to estab
lish a fellowship in our Western University
in a woman's name, and pave the way with
a proviso for the admission of our girls to its
collegiate advantages, and to women on its
Board of Trustees. Such action would raise
it to a level with Cornell, Columbia, Michi
gan University and others too numerous to
mention. Pittsburg and Allegheny girls
should have the same advantages as the
boys, and women should see to it that they
get tnem. Bessie Bbambie.

next, Tuesday evoning at 8 in the Central
Armory. All members are requested to be
present, as business of the utmost importance
will be transacted.
AN election for Captain of Company O.
Fourteenth Regiment, will be held Tuesday
evening, June 3, 1890, to All the vacancy caused
bv the ieslmation of Captain Hamilton.
Colonel Percbment has not vet announced who
will conduct the ceremony.
The commntations for rifle practice for 1839
were issued from the Adjutant General's
office last week and are now on the way down
through the regular channels. They would
probably still be hanging fire in Harrisburg
were it not for the stream of inquiries that
poured in from all over the State.
The inspection of the Eighteenth Regiment
closes to-morrow evening with Company H,
Companies F and G having passed through the
ordeal last Friday and Saturday nights. The
Inspection nf Company G was one of the best
that organization ever passed, and means that
the laurels of the regiment 'or the present can
be found in the vicinity of Captain Penny.
The inspections of the companies of the
Fourteenth Regiment start next Tuesday
night and continue in the following order:
Company F, May Z7: Company A, May 28: Com
pany B. May 29 at 9.30 p. M.: Company K, May
29 at 8 P. M.; Company E, June 4, and Company
(J. June 3. The Central Armorv !i the old
market houe has been well' fitted up with
electric lights, so that the inspecting officers
will have no trouble on that score.
A large number of invited guests, including
many ladies, witnessed the inspection of Bat
tery B at the Fitth Avenue Market House last
Thursday evening. Sixty-two men and five
officers were presented before the inspecting
officer, the appearance of the organization as a
whole being excellent. Tho di ill in the saber
exercises, foot movements and handling of the
pieces was fairly well executed, many minor
details of command and execution being fanlty.
As a whole the inspection was a successful one,
and no doubt tho battery will receive good
treatment at the hands of Major Patterson.
Captain Hunt will vacate his present quarters
this week and move Into the building on Dia
mond street in conj unction with the Eighteenth
Regiment.
The meeting of the Socond Brigade Examin
ing Board last Monday night, at tho Seventh

but two candidates for commissions appeared.
Quartermaster John Hubbard, of the Four
teenth, and Lieutenant Bennet Graff, of the
Eighteenth. Lieutenant Cougblin, of Company
E, Eighteenth Regiment, not appearing at the
meeting, tha board recommended the Ad
jutant General to order another election in this
company. It was expected that Lieutenant
Jackson, of the Fourteenth Regiment, would
appear, but that gentleman has taken tho stand
that the company having elected him Captain,
and having been sworn in as such bv the elec
tion dfficcrs, he will fight for his commission in
another way.
An interesting tale of the pugilistic ability of
Adjutant General Hawkins, of the Ohio Guard,
is now going the rounds. It seems that Colonel
Smith, of the First Regiment, had appointed a
personal staff of 12 gentlemen with the rank
of captains, among whom was a member of the
State Legislature. General Hawkins, object
ing to this wholesale apoointment of bogus
staff officers, went into the" Legislature to have
their commissions refused, and stirred up quite
a hornet's nest by so doing. Tile final result
was that the Legislative member of the staff
was invited out in the rotunda by General
Hawkini, and there given a most thorough
thrashing. To place matters in a still more
forcible llghr, General Hawkins then pro
ceeded to the hotel where Colonel bmith was
stopping and presented that gentleman with a
beantifnt pair of black eyes, and a generally
battered up countenance. General Hawkins is
now a very large man in Ohio.
First Lieutenant John Neibatjjt, of the
Washington Infantry, will complete his 20th
year in connection with that organization next
month. The members of the company are en
thusiastic over the trip to Cleveland this week.
They will be accompanied by the Sheridan
Sabers, of Wilkinsburg, and the Montootb
Band, of this city. It is expected that at
least SO muskets will be in line. A special
train -Hill leave the Union depot at
9 F. 31. Thursday, May 29, and roach Cleveland
in U hours. The party will remain in Cleve
land until Sunday afternoon, when a speciat
train will bring the boys home, reaching this
city between 8 and 7 o'clock p. M. This will be
the third trip of the Washington Infantry to
Cleveland. Thev were there in camp for a
week in 1860 attending the -unveiling of the
monument erected to the memory of Cornmo
doro Perry, and also at Garfield's funeral In
1581, being the only military organization pres
ent from Pennsvivanta. They will take with
them au elegant floral tribute in the shape ot a
diamond on an easel, as a tribute to the mem
ory of one of the first members of the company
at its organization, Colonel W. H. Creigbton,
late Colonel of the Seventh Ohio Volunteer In
fantry, who was killed while leading his regi
ment in a charge at Ringgold, Ga., November
27, 1863. Colonel Crelghton received his first
military lessons as a member of the Wash
ington Infantry, and Just previous to the war
moved to Cleveland.

"Liver complaint and indigestion

any permanent good until I commenced
the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which

MB. JOHN LEWIS TELLS WHAT GOOD 70S
TUX3C IT BHOUOHT HIX.
Mr. JohnZewU, StJl Wampum street, City, BJS.
"Four years ago," savs Mr- Lewis, 1 received
a blow over the stomach by a pair of tongs
while at work at Jones t Laughilns'. where I
am emDloyed. which laid me np for Ave weeks.
Ever since then !my stomach and bowels have
been weak. My stomach troubled me so much
at times that I would frequently ham to get
npontof bed at nights on account of the pain
and nausea. Couldn't eat: have gone four or five
days at a stretch without eating a bite. DIar.
rheasetin, weakening ma very much. I also
had trouble with my head and throat, pain
over my eyes, ringing in ears, stoppage ot
nostrils and was continually hawking np slims
and pieces of hardened mucus.
"In this condition I placed myself nnder Dr.
Biers' treatment. He treated me once a week
at his office and gave me a supply of medicine
and only charged me 5 per month. In two
weeks my bowels were all right and at the end
of two months I was entirely well. Am now
doing work 1 conldn't have done six month
ago. and never felt better In my life. It wa
was the best Investment I erer made with $10.'

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
On the Female Face
$5,000 For Any Incurable Case
Superfluous hair is an exceslre growth of half
on the female face seen mostly on the upper lip,
chin, cheeks, forehead, between the eyebrows,
the nose, ears breast, hands and arms-, also
grows superfluous on men's cheeks above tha
beard line. This obnozions growth of hair If
surpiisingly prevalent. We see it whereve
ladies congregate; at least 33 of every 100 of out
ladles have more or less superfluous hair at
some time during their life.
Every lady with hair on her face knows, to
her sorrow, that the use of depilatories, hot
wax, the tweezer?, scissors and razors all maka
these hairs grow harsher, coarser, si tffer. darker
and more numerous. There is positively only
one method In the world by which superfluous;
hair can be permanently destroyed, and that IS
by the ELECTRIC IEEDLE OPERATION,
This Is a purely scientific process, and is In
dorsed by all pbyicians and surgeons as being
the only method by which the hair follicle can ba
destroyed so the hair can never grow again.
In performing this operation a delicate lnstrn
mentis used, almost as fine as the hair itself.
This Is painlessly Inserted into the follicle
alongside of the hair until it reaches the little
sack or papilla (from which the hair grows),
then the electric current is turned on and tha
hair germ is destroyed, after which it Is abso
lutely an impossibility for another bair to grow
again.
Dr. Van Dyck. the celebrated surgeon oX
Philadelphia, is pleased to state that be devotes!
several hours daily to the permanent removal
of superfluous bair by the
ELECTRIC NEEDLE OPERATION.
Dr. Van Dyck was the second physician ia
the world to psrform this operation, and waa
the first to make a success of it. He has oper
ated for 14 years, has treated hundred of easel
and has acquired a national reputation as an
expert in electro-surgery. The success of thia
operation is a positive certainty. The destruc
tion of the bair follicle is no guess work, no ac
cident, but a positive result of scientidc skill
achieved by years of experience. Dr. Van
Dyck will give So. COO for any case of superfluous
hair In which be will fail to destroy every
coarse hair forever, even if the patient has a
regularly developed beard. He has cured cases
In bis Philadelphia office where be has perma
nently destroyed as many as 20.CCO hairs from
ladies' faces. The above offeris genuine. Any
physician, medical college, society or privata
parties can bring Dr. Van Dyck any case, no
matter bow bad, he will treat tno case, charg
ing a moderate fee for his services, and wilt
guarantee to forfeit the sura of $5,000 in gold It
ho falls to destroy forever every coarse hair.
Any physicians or committee of physicians can
examine the case before treatment, during;
treatment, one or five years after treatment.
Dr. Van D ck is pleased to state that durins
his location in Pittsburg since last September
bo has been honored by thai patronage of our
most prominent families. Many of our moss
eminent physicians have sent members of their
families to him for treatment.
Now. ladies, if natnre has unkindly provided
you with hair on the face, stop the use of de
pilatories, plasters, blocks of uar.the tweezers,
scissors or razor at onre, and consult Dr. Van
Dvck and have the hair destroyed forever.
Remember this; the electric needle is tha
only method by which you can be cured, and
unless you have the hairs destroyed by this
method you will carry them to tho grave with
you.
In order to place his treatment within tha
means of every woman who has the least pride,
Dr Van Dyck will make special rates to all who
consult him this and next month.
Dr. Van Dyck also successfully treats molt,
warts, wens, cysts, cancer, tumon. red nose,
enlarged veins of the nose, elevated and dis
colored sears, tattooing, poderand coal stalnsi
also all itchy, pimply, crusty, scaly skin dis
eases. Consult Dr. Van Dyck at once. Office, 601
