    SOME VERY NOTED WOMEN
WHO THEY ARE AND HOW THEY
SPEND THEIR MONEY.
Birs. Pullman, of Chicago—Her Magnificent
Hoqkc uu<l Entertain mcnta — Mm. Dhvlh'
Strange History—Mr*. Senator Edmunds
Md Miss Jones, a Washington Debutante.
In many respects Chicago is fast tread
ing on the heels of New York. In the
latter city there is a class to whom the
acquisition of wealth is a matter of no
moment; not the artist class, who are
proverbial for their contempt of money,
and who enjoy life in a Bphomian fash
ion, but a class so rich that any effort to
add to their wealth appears undesirable
to them. They do not object to gather
ing in a few extra millions liy marriage
or inheritance; hut to become richer by
any means that will take up their tiruo
or attention, they aro by no means in
clined..
This class, imitating a similar class in
England, gives itself to pleasure. A sur
feit of means <• -

an open sesame to all doors. Their pos
sessors become centers of attraction as
naturally as the hollyhock is a rendez
vous for bees. They live in palaces;
they have country seals as splendid, in
many cases, as ancestral homes in Eng
land; their winters are spent in giving
magnificent entertainments, or blazing
in jewels in their private boxes at the
opera!
In the summer they are at their coun
try seats, but they have only put oif one
dress to assume a similar one. The balls
of winter have become fetes, with the
cotillon often danced with as much
vivacity as in mid-winter. The opera
gives place to the hunt. Riding and driv
ing and yachting and other means of en
joyment, so cosily that none but the
wealthy may enjoy them, none but mill
ionaires may lead .them, occupy their
time from .1 age oTten till after Christmas.
Among the wives of these millionaires
there, is one who, even if her husband
still clings to his office, seems inclined
to break over the line and become a
leader in thesame —.
sense that there
are leaders in
New York. This
is Mrs. George M.

played by any J T<gfly- '
other woman in
the west. It was MRS ' DAVIS
some twenty years ago that George M.
Pullman iinished his residence on Indi
ana avenue. It was a fine looking pile
on the exterior, though many pro
nounced it somewhat gaudy within.
Then commenced a series of entertain
ments which have been continued near
ly every year, and every few years a
mammoth reception would ho given,
wherein the invitations would to num
bered by thousands. In addition to this,
Mr. and Mrs. Pullman would occasionally
take a large party of friends to their
island in the St. Lawrence and entertain
them during a whole summer, or open
their house to their friends at Elberon.
It may be said of Mrs. Pullman that she
is the in t to entertain on the scale of her
sisters of t lie Atlantic coast.
111 Washington they have a number of
millionaires, especially in the senate, who
are well able to lead the society of that
place into Aladdin like scenes such as
take place at New York or Newport or
Leriox, or places where the possessors of
money hugs congregate. But Washing
ton is a place especially fitted for queens
who reign for a time and pass away.
It is a city of transition, for it is com
posed 1 i people from all parts of the
United States whose term depends upon
their constituents, or rather on the con
stituents of their rivals. Just now the
wife of Senator Davis, of Minnesota, is
riding on the crest of a wave of popu
larity.
She has a singular history. Her hus
band is said to have walked into St. Paul
after the war in the tattered uniform of
one of Uncle Sam's soldiers. ]lo settled
down to work and became a wealthy and
prominent lawyer. In a rickety house
in that city lived a day laborer. Frank
Agnew was his name, and his eldest
daughter, Anna, was a beautiful girl.
The story of her marriage to Davis lias
been told as follows:
Naturally Anna was ambitious to get
above the social level to which she was
born, and she set about fitting herself for
some profession hv which she could be
coino self sup
porting. To fit
herself for a
wSfjf" T teacher was out

trade and was 60on at the head of an
establishment as manager, and as a
reward of her ambition and persever
ance was making for herself a splen
did yearly income. In the hour of her
prosperity she did not forget her mother
and sisters, and they were often brought
to feel yie rich generosity of her heart.
Miss Agnew was courted by men .of
wealth and position, while the wives and
daughters of the opulent in their jealousy
turned up their dainty noses and sneered
at tire "beautiful seamstress," asshc had
become to to known. But in the face of
all flattery and in spite of the sneers of
the women around her, Anna attended
to her business and brushed aside the
army of suitors that crowded more thick
ly around her each year as she grew
more beautiful. She had bought a neat
little cottage in upper town with her
savings, and quartered there were her
parents and sisters. About this time C.
K. Davis was corning into prominence as
a politician, and his fame as a public
speaker and a litterateur had gone abroad
throughout the state, and the people
were beginning to look up to him as
their representative man, the one who
could best watch their interests. Quietly
and unassumingly Mr. Davis kept at his
law practice, making uo especial effort
to win public favors. The rich fathers
were at his office daily with invitations
for him to dine with them, and ambitious
mothers and susceptible daughters smiled
on him and flattered him.
But all this flattery and all this fawn
ing seemed to make 110 impression 011
the young lawyer, and the mothers and
fathers and daughters began to wonder
if he was a mis
ogynist, a woman
hater. It all came
outouedav in this W
manner: A prom- xfo
ineut citizen in j/
the real estate IV*- fw
business,who was Hf
particularly anx- >L
ious to get young \ ,

in-law, came in- \W'IW M

would let liiiu take his horse to drive a
customer out 011 the hill to look at a
piece of property. Davis'team stood in
front of the office, and he told the real
estate dealer to go ahead.
The man returned in about two hours,
and coming into the office, sat down and
began to laugh..
"What's the matter?" inquired Davis.
"Oh. ho! What do you think your
horse did?" asked the real estate man.
• "llaien't the slightest idea," replied
Davis, "it must have been something
very Tunny."
'•Well, 1 should say so. I was driving
uj> town, and I'll be darned if your horse
didn't turn tip toAgnew's hovtse, and it
was all I could do to get him by."
"I don't see anything strange in that."
quietly replied Davis. "That horse has
been in the habit of taking tue to that
house pretty often lately. I'm going to
marry Aguew's daughter."
Mrs. Senator Edmunds is another inter
esting person in the social world of
Washington. She is the wife of Senator
Edmunds, of Vermont. Several years
ago she lost her eldest daughter, which
event kept her from society for some
time. Senator and Mrs. Edmunds have
but one daughter now, Mary, who with
the father and mother makes up the
family circle. Mrs. Edmunds is a woman
of extensive reading and strong char
acter. Iler home is much frequented by
the most distinguished people of Wash
ington.
There is a debutante in Washington
this season who lias created quite a sen
sation. Site is Miss Mary Jones, the
daughter of Senator and Mrs. Jones, of
Nevada. She is a petite brunette with
a quiet air and a pleasing though seri
ous face. Iler dark brown hair is drawn
back from a low forehead. Though dark
haired and of olive complexion Miss
Jones lets blue eyes. She has recently
returned from abroad, where she went
after finishing her education. She is a
good linguist, but her specialty is music.

THE BLIND TWADDLES.
KN OHIO FAMILY OF NINE, NONE
OF WHOM COULD SEE.
Their Keiuurkuble Powers, Which Attracted
the Attention of Scientific Men Seventy
Years Ago—The Death of the I .ant One
liringH Out the Story.
"Blind Andrew Twaddle" remained
seated in his pew after the benediction,
and his friends and neighbors passed
down the aisles. With a calm smile
upon liia aged face, his large eyes sight
less no more now than they had been
during the three score years and four of
his life, and turned toward the rude pul
pit, lie sat quiet and still in death.
"The Blind Twaddles," as they were
known in this neighborhood, was one of
the most remarkable families of this
state, and perhaps of the United States,
and this was the last one left. Sixty or
seventy years ago this family attracted
almost universal attention from physi
cians and scientific men generally
throughout the civilized world. The
parents, who have long years ago gone
over to the majority, had nothing out of
the common to distinguish them from
their neighbors.
But there were horn to them a large
family of children, nine in all, and of
these the first seven were horn entirely
blind and the last two had but partial
eyesigiit. Scientific man were utterly
at a loss to account fortius phenomenon.
The father and mother hud excellent
eyesight, and the eyes of their children
were large brown and bright, but sight
less. They were without optic nerves.
Iu all other respects they were bright,
healthy and intelligent children. The
scientific journals and newspapers of
that day had long accounts and various
theories regarding this, but why it should
have been so is vet a mysterv.
The state of Ohio, by a special act of
ilg legislature, deeded to the parents for
the support of their children a quarter of
a section (100 acres) of the best of the ag
ricultural lands of eastern Ohio, and the
farm is known to this day as the ''Blind
Twaddles section." Upon this farm the
young men and women—there were
seven boys and two girls—grew up in
total darkness, became useful citizens,
married and settled in the surrounding
community.and reared families in which
uo traco of blindness is shown. The
blind people all lived the prophet's allot
ment of threescore and ten. They were
a fine looking family, and when it is con
sidered that these people, who were born
blind and lived out their long and useful
lives in total darkness, became success
ful farmers, millers, distillers, etc., it
must he conceded that they were re
markable in more senses than that of be
ing blind.
They were as able to go to ativ place
upon their farms or to surrounding
towns and perform all their necessary
farm work without attendance or help,
as if tlicy hail perfect eyesight. They
cut timber in the woods, mado rails,
built fences, plowed their lands, sowed
and harvested their crops, ran their grist
mill and a distillery, worked oxen and
horses, and, in fact, learned all of that
by intuition which is supposed impossi
ble for people without sight. Many are
the queer stories recited by old residents
of Lee, London and Fox townships re
garding feats performed by this family.
Their lands were intersected by numer
ous deep creeks, which were crossed by
foot logs, and these people would go un
hesitatingly anywhere along these farm
paths, crossing the precarious foot
bridges and treading the most intricate
ways unerringly.
They could name any tree in the for
ests by feeling of the bark, select the
best ones for any designed purpose, and
"fell" them in the most convenient man
ner for working. Out of such timber
they would make rails and build fences
when they desired, having them better
and straighter than many farmers with
eyes. They could take to pieces, repair
and place again in working order any
kind of machinery with which they
were called upon to be familiar, and two
of them successfully conducted a flour
ing mill for the farmers of the vicinity
for years.
But perhaps the most remarkable as
well as tlie best authenticated of their
acquirements was the power of telling
the colors of animals by touch. They
were all great lovers of horses, and by
placing their hands upon the coat of a
horse they would instantly tell its color,
and by feeding ils head tell to which sex
it belonged. They were excellent judges
of liorsi s, and by a few slight touches
here and there, and hearing it walk or
trot, would pronounce an infallible opin
ion as to its merits.
A good many years ago one of the
"Blind Twaddles" came to this country
town 011 some business. At that time a
famous hostelry was kept here by James
I'atton, yet a resident, and Twaddles
stopped and quartered himself and horse
at ids tavern. His presence at the hotel
gave rise to a discussion of ids wonder
ful powers regarding horses, and it was
agreed among some of the parties to test
it. The landlord bad a splendid sorrel
team, of which one, however, was a good
deal better than the other. When Mr.
Twaddle, who was riding a brown mare,
called for bin horse, the stableman placed
the trappings upon oneof the sorrels anil
led it forth. As Twaddle put lift hand
upon the animal's neck preparatory to
mounting, he stopped and said: "You've
made a mistake; this is not my horse."
Tiie hostler apologized and, changing
the bridle and saddle, brought out the
other of Mr. Patton's sorrels. Twaddle,
perhaps suspecting a joke, as he listened
intently as the other horse was led up,
went forward, placed his hand upon the
horse's head and said at once: "This is
another sorrel horse, a 'single footer,'
and a much better one than you showed
me before. But please bring out my
brown mare, as I am in a hurry to start
home."
This story, as well as tuany others
equally remarkable as instancing the
wonderful intuition of these people, is
well vouched for. By the death of An
drew the last of the family has vanished,
and the '-Blind Twaddle section" is now
occupied by people with eyes.—Carroll
ton (O.) Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
