"WASHINGTON LETTER.
New Appointments I ndor the Presi
dent—Fun Over Salt Hi vet— Cap
itol Steps Crumbling.
[Special Correspondence.J
Under the terms of the new army
reorganization bill the president will
have at his disposal more Important
military appointments than ever fell
to the lot of any of his predecessors in
office at any one time. This is in con
sequence of the great increase In the
enlisted strength of the army, with the
necessary increase of commissioned
officers. The bill as it passed tlie sen
ate provides for 22 general officers,
870 staff officers and 2.922 line officers,
or a total of 3,814. The minimum en
listed strength is 57,870, including 15
regiments of cavalry. 12 regiments of
artillery, 30 regiments of infantry, 3
battailous of engineers and miscel
laneous organizations. The maximum
enlisted strength is 102.258 and is made
by increasing the strength of the va
rious arms of the service included in
the minimum organization. The exist
ing permanent army consists of a to
tal commissioned and enlisted strength
of 31.472.
The principal interest in the immense
patronage in the president's hands per
tains to the selection of the additional
general officers provided for by the
bill, mainly one lieutenant general,
four major generals and nine brigadier
generals. The president is entirely un
restricted In his selections for these
important places.
Fun Over Salt Itiver.
A little skit about Salt river was
overlooked during the rambling debate
on the river and harbor bill. Repre
sentative David liighbaugh Smith of
Kentucky, whose district comprises the
birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, offer
ed an amendment for the survey of
"Salt river from its mouth to Shep
pnrdsville."
Chairman Burton, alert to any
changes in his bill, was on bis feet in
an instaut. "Is not this the river that
Mr. Carlisle said the only way to im
prove It was to pave it?" he inquired.
The house scented the fun in the pro
posed legislation, and there was wild
laughter.
"1 do not remember, but I suspect he
would say that now." retorted Mr.
Smith readily, at which there was a
further titter.
"Is it not true that numerous peo
ple who go up that, river do not get
down again?" persisted Mr. Burton,
with mock solemnity.

I Mr. Burton concluded not to object,

Capitol Steps Cram hi in nr.
I Considerable criticism Is heard about
I the cheap material used in construct
ing the stone stairways at the western
approach to the enpitol building. Al
though tills work has been completed
only a comparatively short time, it
rapidly is falling into decay, and there
are many unsightly spots on the land
ings at the west front of the building.
Not only is the stone which was used
of an extremely perishable nature,
I many thin layers having peeled off.
leaving unsightly holes about an inch
1 deep and several feet in diameter, but
the mortar used has disappeared en
tirely In several places, and some of
the steps are quite loose aud working
; out of position. It soon will be neces
sary to do some of the work over again
1 ami take out many of the large blocks
| of stone and replace them with new
ones.
It is not known who is responsible
for this condition of affairs, but it can
not be denied the work is of the cheap
est character and not at all in keeping
with the maguificent structure to
which these stairways lead.
< hiiM'no In Hawaii,
j Attorney General Griggs in an opin
ion rendered upon the request of the
secretary of the treasury holds:
First.—That a person born in the Ha
waiian Islands iu 1885 of Chinese par
ents who are laborers and taken to Chi
na with his mother In 1890 Is entitled
to re-enter the territory of Hawaii,
where his father still resides.
Second.—That the wife and children
I of a Chinese person who was naturaliz
ed in 1887 in Hawaii and still resides
i there are entitled to enter the territory
"by virtue of the citizenship" of the
husband and father. This opinion is
based upon the assumption that the
Chinese persons in question, born and
naturalized respectively In the Hawai
ian Islands, were in fact citizens of the
republic of Hawaii under its constitu
tion and laws on Aug. 12, 1898, and had
not abandoned or lost their rights as
such.
Tlie Beat Tlionglit.
"Consensus of opinion" has been re
tired from active service. It no longer
I does duty in the expression of senti
ment of senate, of house, of committee,
at Washington. The phrase now is
! "best thought." Just where and how it
I originated would be difficult to tell.
But in the corridors ami cloakrooms of
the senate the phrase seemed to enter
suddenly into general use. "The best
thought" of the senate, a senator will
gravely inform you, indicates this or
| the other thing.
I Representative Champ Clark of Mis
souri thinks be is gaining some of the
• qualifications of a New England Yan
; kee.
"John Williams of Mississippi states
that a inau is a good Yankee when he
can eat pie and cheese," said the Mis
sourlan the other day. "And 1 go the
cheese."
Turning to the waiter, Mr. Clark or
dried pumpkin pie and cheese not only
for himself, but for little Champ, who
was lunching with his father and who
enjoys pumpkin pie quite as much as
any good, healthy boy can.

OASTORIA.
Boars the Tho Kind You Have Always Bought
t A Chinese Widow •;
Tchouaug Tsen of the country of
Soung was a learned man who carried
his wisdom so far as to detach himself
; from all perishable things. He had
avoided the error so common to mankind
;if struggling to acquire useless riches
ind vainglories or honors.
He must have been profoundly satis
fied with his career, for after his death
he was proclaimed as happy und worthy
of envy.
Now, In the days the gods accorded
him to pass under green skies amid flow
ery bushes, willows and bamboos,
Tehouang Tsen was accustomed to walk
dreamily through the country.
One day, when wandering along the
flowery slopes of the mountain of Nam
Hoa, he found himself unexpectedly in
the middle of a cemetery, where the
dead, according to the custom of the
country, repose under hillocks of beaten
earth. At the sight of these innumera
ble tombs, which spread above the hori
zon, tho learned man meditated on the
destiny of man. "Alas!" thought he.
"Behold the highway where all the roads
of life end. When once one has taken a
place in this resting place of the dead,
one never sees the light of day again!"
As he was moralizing thus he sudden
ly perceived a young woman in mourn
ing garb—that is to say, in a long, white,
seamless robe of coarse material—seated
beside a tomb, fanning with a white fan
the enrth of a freshly covered funeral
mound.
Curious to learn the moaning of so
strange an action, Tehouang Tsen salut
ed the young lady with great politeness
and said:
"Madame, dare I ask you without of
fense what person is sleeping beneath
this tomb and why you give yourself so
much trouble to fan the earth that cov
ers it?
"I am a philosopher and ifiio to know
the causes of things, and here is one that
escapes me, that 1 cannot even guess at."
The young woman continued to move
her fan back and forth. She blushed,
lowered her head and murmured a few
words that the good man could not hear.
He renewed his question several times,
but in vain. The young woman took no
further notice of him, and it seemed as
though her very soul had passed into the
hand that was so busily moving the fan.
Tehouang Tsen went his way regretful
ly. Although lie well knew that all is
vanity, he was naturally inclined to seek
the motive of human actions and partic
ularly those of women.
This little creature's odd occupation
aroused within him n malevolent but live
ly curiosity. He continued his walk slow
ly onward, but turned his head occasion
ally to watch the fan, which still beat
the air like the wing of a huge butterfly,
when all of a sudden an old woman
whom he hnd not seen at tirst, appioa. li
ed him and made a sign to follow her.
She drew him into the shadow of a
mound a little higher than the rest and
said to him:
"1 heard you ask my mistress a ques
tion to which she made no reply. I will
satisfy your curiosity, from a natural
wish to oblige anil in the hope that you
in return will give me the wherewith to
buy from the priests a magic paper which
possesses the power of prolonging my
life."
Tehouang Tsen drew out his purse and !
placed a piece of money in her hand, and j
the old woman spoke as follows:
"The lady that you saw seated beside a
tomb is Mme. Lu, the widow of a learned '
man named Tao, who died 15 days ago
after a long illness, and the tomb is her
husband's. They loved each other most
tenderly, and even when dying M. Tao
could not reconcile himself to their sepa
ration, and the idea of leaving her behind
in the world in the flower of her ago and
of her beauty was altogether insupporta
ble to him. However, toward the end he
became resigned, for he was of gentle na
ture, and his soul submitted to the inevi
table.
"Weeping at the head of M. Tao's bod.
that she hud never left during his entire
illness, Mine. Lu called upon the gods to
bear witness that she would never sur
vive him, but would share his grave even
as she had shared ids couch.
"But M. Tao said to her, 'Madame, do
not swear such a thing as that.' 'At
least,' continued she, 'if I must survive
you, if I am condemned by the genii to
still behold the light of day when you can
no longer see it, know that I will never
consent to become the wife of another,
and that I will never have but one hus
band, the same as I have but one soul.'
"But M. Tao said to her, 'Madame, do
not swear that.' 'Oh, M. Tao, M. Tao!
Let me swear then that for at least five j
years I will not think of marrying again.' I
But M. Tao said to her: 'Madame, do not
swear that. Swear only that you will I
keep my memory faithful in your heart I
until the earth shall have dried over my
grave.'
"Mine. Lu took the oath and the good
M. Tao closed his eyes never to open i
them again.
"The despair of Mme. Lu surpassed all
bounds. Her eyes were swollen with
weeping and her pretty, soft cheeks were |
scratched to pieces by her sharp little fin- ;
ger nails, but everything passes away, j
and the torrent of her grief soon spent
its force.
"Three days after the death of M. Tao
Mine. Lu's sadness had become human.
She was told that n young man, a follow- j
er of M. Tao's. desired an interview to
express the grief and sympathy lie felt on
this sad occasion. She thought it would j
not be right to refuse him this privilege,
and she was correct. She received him
with sighs!
"The young man was of distinguished
hearing and handsome face. He spoke to i
her a little about M. Tao and much about
herself. lie told her she was charming ,
and that he felt he loved her. She allow- i
ed him to talk. He promised to return
soon. In the meantime Mme. Lu, seated
beside her husband's funeral mound, j
where you saw her, passes her time in
drying the enrth which rovers his tomb
with the air stirred up by her fan."
Wheu the old woman hnd finished her
story, Tehouang Tsen thought:
"Youth is short, the incitement of de
sire gives wings to young women and
young men. After all, Mme. Lu is an
honest young person, striving to keep her
promise. It is an example worthy to pre
sent to the white women of Europe."—
