An old rtr V member of congress said II io mo the other day that w ,,r niniiher of statesmen had B rrcimlation out of the tariff of anv other line of legis- - known to the history of this in the morning till a past midnight. the Capitol from 10 in The mo S till noon, executive the meeting later in day, another meeting at McKh SSS" wasthe daUy belated as newspaper men have seen five or weary gentlemen leaving the Ebbitt house walking a half or mife to their homes. They were members of way and means who had been in on the great taxing bill. Mm who want success must work for it in Washington as elsewhere. The verv afternoon that I saw McKinley riding homeward on the platform of a street car, one of the noted men of his times, I also saw a handsome equipage standing in a secluded spot under the trees which surround the Capitol grounds. A pretty JTg woman the cart. Evidently she was waiting for some one from the Capitol, and presently this some one appeared in the person of a member of congress who has a wife and family. Thus was explained the wom- an s selection of a shady, out of the way nook for the trysting place. Men who have wives and families must be prudent if nothing else. This man is in the prime or tire, well to do and talented. Ha en-tered congress a few years ago with brilliant prospects, but he is still one of the army of congressional unknowns. Soon he will be forgotten. As ho step-ped into the cart and drove away with his charmer I could not help noting the contrast formed between him and the man who was journeying on the plat-form of a Pennsylvania avenue street car to his sick wife. McKinley's personality is an interest-ing one. He is one of those men who set out in life with a purpose, and who bend every effort and circumstance to the end in view. He is also one of the row men who can be earnest, firm, and nt the same time suave and genial, He is a man who knows how to have his way about things, to ride over other people when necessary, without making them his enemies. As chairman of ways and means, con-structor and manager of a tariff bill, ho has been at the focus of much selfish-ness. A thousand men of influence and importance have wanted a thousand things. They have brougLt to bear rpon him all tho pressure which lawyers and lobbyists, politicians and capitalists know so well how to bring. Whether one agree or disagree with McKinley's economic views, it must be admitted there is something admirable in the manner in which he has borne himself through this ordeal Where other men would have become nervous or irritable he has grown in gracionsness and cour-tesy. Where others, might have been sharp spoken or imperious, he has been deferential and pleasing. But he has been turned neither to the right nor to the left. He has smiled and smiled, and had his way still. . - Now at the senate end of the Capitol a number of distinguished statesmen are wrestling with this question of taxation. Perhaps the most picturesque of them hsm'S TRITJMPHAL JOURNEY. ly. But the tariff we always have 11 Just now Mr. McKinley is the 11 figure of the tariff world. The I to man to power and influence Splendid example of what may be a specialty in public life. Mr. Jnley has never bothered himself trach about anything but the tariff. lg all the years he has been in con-- I the tariff has been his constant enion. iils he was Btill a law student at In, 0., the question of protection of fccan industries came up for dis-I- n in the town Lyceum. An old Ir represented free trade, and to McKinley was assigned the de--I of protection. The old lawyer, land experienced in debate, over-bing- ly defeated his young antag--I This stung the young man's pride plight out the good qualities that I in him. He determined to be a Ir of that question. He studied leal economy with even more zeal I he studied law; he read Speeches sat up o' nights with statistics and Inment reports. McKinley's first I in public life was as county attor--I He was a good officer, but all the I continued to maie headway as a lpion of protection. When speeches panted he was called upon to make I and presently his devotion to that pn him an election to congress, lew days ago I saw McKinley riding I the Capital to his hotel. He was Ite rear platform of a street car. rn minutes before this he had won pit triumph of securing passage le house of representatives of a tariff taring his name. This was the Is of his ambition. And yet here h returning from the scene of his Ity in the most common of public-fyance- There was something I.

McKinley leads a very Wife in Washington. It is princi-f- a life of work. He occupies two moos in a down town hotel.

So we j'even in a tariff bill, and in the In ,aa.n wno Siyes all his energies f ig legislation, there may be some-fo- f sentiment. I , SENATOR MORRILL. all, though not the most powerful, is Senator Morrill. This fine old man makes a picture worth looking at as he sits at the head of the table in the com-mittee on finance. The oldest man in congress, and the veteran in service, he represents in his career three or four dis-tinct eras of his country's history. He was a well known man in the days when Kansas and slavery extension were the overwhelming topics of public interest. He was chairman of tho house commit-tee on ways and means in the early years of the war, when the expenses of the government were increasing at the rate of millions of dollars a day, and the great problem was the procuring of reve-nue with which to carry on the war. Nearly thirty years ago he wrote a tax-ing bill which carried his name to every hamlet in the land, and here he is yet, an octogenarian, at the head of the sen-ate committee which is at work upon another revenue act. Though chairman of the committee Senator Morrill is not much more than a figure head. His days of law making are. nearly run. Yet it was the tariff that gave him prominence and laid the foundation for his fame. The real head of the senate committee is Senator Allison. Here we have still another example of tho value of special-izing one's efforts in a public career. Allison, like McKinley, has made the tariff his distinct field. On these lines he has approached the presidency, and may yet win it. Like McKinley, too, he is a comfortable sort of person, smooth, velvety, soft of touch, likable. It seems that in dealing with the revenues of a government and tho thousands of men whose interests are affected by the man-ner in which those revenues are raised, it is the man who can say no smilingly who does best. , In this Allison is even more skillful than McKinley. It has been said of him that, if a judge and under the peinful sentencing a malefactor to throws, he could So it m such man-ner aT to make the nr.fortunate quite and content. Ask Allison to do Sthat for you, and he will comply ii he, possibly can: but if cannot off he will ead put his arm about you, you and whisper his refusal so SS?and with such charmius mys-ffi- n of manner that you He him in spite of your disaPP0"1- - neces-sa-rr and taxes are And since revenues features of this business of carrying government, and many must be done m their things , two such ' t,1'0 FOP.

I do not know it is with your ladies, DARIS, they ever do any domestic labors or not, as for us we always pre-fer to go about our salons in the morning and dust olT our 1 dainty little bric-a-bra- ami take a .careful look through our kitchens and larders before we dress for iho promenade or for the forenoon, and so niadamo in her neglige is one of our most coui- - compared with tliose or a season or so ago, and they are short, just clearing the Boor, and we reserve our magnificence for grand dinners and receptions. For opera we generally wear our old skirts with a fresh new corsage, unhss W'e are going to a ball later, as it injures a new skirt t sit on it three or four hours at a time, and we are very careful of our dresses. Although we have had tho renown of leading the fashion for so many long years, wo aro not' above adopting a fancy occasionally from other countries. Last week I met a charming little friend of mine, Mme. de St. Ahuy , who is a recognized loader of fashion, and she had on a clan tartan plaid gown, a plaid. I think it is called, all brown and drab, with yellow and red and green fine stripes running through it, and actually the sleeves stood up to her ears. Tho gown was priueesse shape, and cut in the bias, with a front of black velvet and a high collar of tho same. Other English eostwnes that are find-ing favor are tho annsones, the wearers of which are everywhere on the Bois, mounted on their English cobs and trot-ting along sedately or galloping wildly. Tho habit with us is English, only fat we make the skirt a little longer and a little more ample, as too scant riding skirt a 1' Anglaise ia not to our taste. We wear the tronsers, to bo sure, and the high hat, but tho latter is not so high this season, and always has a veil tied 'around it. Very young ladies wear jockey caps, which aro not lovely, but I.KB AMAZONES. safer than the high hats, which are so apt togive headache. Habit basques are quite a good deal trimmed, and suede gloves are worn. The young Duchesse de Bligny wears a dark green habit of cloth, with silver buttons, and.a jockey cap. : Mahiise d'A. MADAME IN HER NEGLIGE. moh sights, only it is true no one but her family sees her. But every Fronch lady holds it as a duty to be as neat and coquettish as she can make herself. Even your washerwoman will be neat and trim. There is no going about in slipshod shoes and curl papers for a French woman; no soilod or untidy gar-ments for her. It is almost a religion to be neat to the point of coquetry, and I am French enough to beliovo fully in that religion. - - - So madanie wears a pretty striped flannel dress, or even it may be calico or satine or challis, but it is made prettily. Of course she wears bracelets and rings, but she wears a dainty little cap and car ries her duster, but she never wears an apron. To her that is a badge of service. Only the bonnes, the flower sellers and grisettes wear those. The charm of French women lies par-tially in tho fact that they always dress MADAME AND HER DAUGHTER EN GRANDE TENUE. for the occasion with an unerring in-stinct as to the fitness of things. The morning dress is suited for its purpose. The loose wrapper for petit levee, while combing her hair and getting ready to put on her neglige and taking her cup of chocolate, is proper for its use cool snd thin in summer, warn and wadded in winter. Then comes the neglige while madame is doing her little housewifely duties, for madame ' is very saving, and though our cooking is proverbially good, we save all our fine clothes out of less money than an American or English woman would spend on the table or waste. Then we have our shopping, or early morning, dress of dark but serviceable goods, and our carriage or visiting toi-lot- s, and lastly, our dinner, opera, recep-tion and ball dresses. Of course this en-tails much labor, but does not the re-sult pay for it? LA EOBE ANQLAISE.

Lady Colin t ampbe'.l Writes of tha Prlinrn League. , London, May 25. The American pub-lic, I have no doubt, have heard ad nnu-seii-of the Primrose diuues and the Liberal lady canvassers. But I wonder if readers across the waters realize the amount of knowledge English women are gaining by their political works? I would agree with the most ardent Liberal in his criticism of all the silly badges, orders, titles and insignia of the Primrose league, and at the same time 1 would second many of the uocusatious brought by tho most determined Tory against the work of Liberal female can-vassers; but, as a sincere advocate of women's advancement, I cannot shut my eyes to the fact that the education these women are gaining for themselves an education which will redound to tho na-tion's benefit in the future more than outweighs any injury arising from par-ticular methods or isolated actions. These political leagues are spreading out all over the country. Women every-where are being brought in contact with cleverer and more active minds; they are bearing discussed the burning ques-tions of the hour; they are being con-sulted as to ways and means of political work; they are, above all, learning the value of organized effort. As an earnest upholder of woman's emancipation both on its individual and humanitarian side I see all this political agitation with heartfelt thankfulness. It will broaden the horizon of the mothers of today, and so secure n the Great Britain of wiser statesmen and a peo-ple more earnest and enlightened. An effort in practical philanthropy was recently inaugurated by Lady George Hamilton in one of the womt quarters of London. The object is to start happy evenings for the children in the public schools. The diiculty of or-ganizing indoor games for boys and girls drawn from the roughest neighborhoods led the association to provide fixed amusements, such as conjuring and dis-solving views. The immense success of tbe first entertainments promises well for the future usefulness of tlie "Chil-dren' Happy Evenings association."
