WASHINGTGN NOTES.
The District of Columbia is pleased
with the election of McCcmas as Sen-
ator. If it must lose Mr. German, who
has been popular here because he has
always looked carefully after the inter-
ests of the DlSLi‘lCt, it desired to have
a man not less friendly. Aithough le-
gally a resident of Maryland, Mr. Go-rQ
man is to all intents and purposes a
District man, his home being but a
short distance away from W'a-shington.
Long residence and constant service in
Congress for years have made him fa»
miliar with all projects coming before
Congress, and experience has taught
him how to overcome all obstacles that
to a newcomer would appear to 'be in-
supcrablc. Mr. McComas served many
years in Congress, most of the time on
the District Committee, and, being a
man of much tact, 'he won the favor oi
the peo~ple who live here by intelligent
and alert labor in ’their behalf. Mr
McComas is not so mysterious as Sen‘
ator German. He is not a compromis-
er or a “conniver” among poilticians
One of the comments mad-e upon him
here, when he was elected, was that in
his service as Judge of the Supreme
Court he has not qu-arreled with the
lawyers practicing under him. The talk
that used to be heard about him as a
“German Republican” loses its force
now, since the Republicans have learn
ed to win victories without the consem
or advice of Mr. German. If it is not
improper to make a comparison of iron-
orable Senators, it might be asserted
that McComas is an improvement upon
the average that has recently prevail.
ed in the body that Mr. Hoar thinks
has not deteriorated.
The Negro Poet Dunbar.
One of the most conspicuous figures
about the Library of Congress is Paul
Laurence Dunbar, who has made so
creditable reputmion as a poet. Mr.
Dunbar is employed as one of the as
sistant librarians and has charge 01
the division of medicine, mathematics
and the natural sciences. He enjoys
the duties of his posit-ion, and all of his
POET DUNBAR.
spare time is devoted to studying
and .writing. Mr. Dunbar has been
more or less lionized since he came to
Washington, and is extremely amiable
in granting the various demands made
upon him. On several occasions he has
read selections from his own works,
and, which is not always true of au-
thors who give extracts from their own
writings, he reads with expression and
taste. '
The SlckJAmve Habit of Clerks.
The severity of the language of a cir-
cular just issued by Secretary Gage
about the sick leaves of absence and
leave for the usual thirty days each
year makes it evident that the Secreta-
ry has obtained the impression, or even
gained the conviction, that the Tr -
ury employes have abused the opportu-
nities afforded them for getting not
only thirty days'of liberty each year
when well, but thirty days for illness
without loss of pay,wheth‘er sick or
well. Every Administration takes up
this subject with the determination
at the beginning, to get for the Govern-
mlent, from the employes paid for ser-
vices, a fair seven hours' work each
day. As a matter of fact, it is but six
and a half hours that the Government
exacts, for out of the time between 9
and 4 o’clock a half hour is allowed for
luncheon. Mr. Gage began by putting
under surveillance every clerk in his
department, and a shout of rage went
up when it was found that many of
them W erein the habit of arriving at
9:30 or later, and that these late-com-
ers “evened things up” by leaving a lit- ‘
tle earlier, in the afternoon than the
clerks who came at 9 o’clock precisely.
It must be assumed that he has obtain-
ed trustworthy evidence that sick
leaves were being obtained on false
representations, for he has issued an
order requiring a report from. each
head of a bureau of the leaves of ab-
sence‘ of each efnploye to be rendered
each month.
Florists object to Government Flowers.
The florists of lVashington are mak-
ing an earnest effort to secure the pas-
sage of a' resolution by Congress pro:
hi‘biting the free distribution by ofli-
cials of the Government of plants, cut
flowers, foliage, etc. There are four
conservatories and propagating gar—
dens belonging to the Government in
Washington. One is under the direc-
tion of the Superintendent of Public
Buildings and Grounds, another is at
the “(bite House, a third at the Agri-
cultural Department, and a fourth is
the Botanic Gardens, near the Capitol,
under the direction of the Joint Com-
mittee on Library of Congress. It has
always been customary, as long as any-
body can remember, for the people in
Ilzarge of the establishments to
distribute their surplus flowers
.mnng the official families of Wash-
i.,.10ll and to loan plants and similar
(is crations for dinners, receptions and
(3.1 lzer entertainments, which, of course,
cuts a good deal into the trade of the
local florists. SENATOR.

Enthusiastic Report of a
Worcester Woman.
Mrs. L. J. Kirby, 290 Park avenue,
iVorcestcr, who has suife red intensely
for several years with a terrible case
of nasal and pharyngeal catarrh, and
chronic ulcerated sore throat says:—
“I have had the catarrh for only
about three years, it all coming on af-
ter a severe attack of the grip, but it
had progressed so rapidly that it had
become one of the worst cases I ever
knew about. Words cannot describe
what I have suffered from it A friend
who had tried and obtained great re-
lief from California Catarrh Cure rec-
ommended it to me and I sent and got
a bottle and commenced using it. I am
now using my second bottle, which is
the dollar size, and I could shout its
praises all day long, that each and
every one suffering from catarrh in any
form might. obtain relief, for I have
had all the symptoms and know where-
of I speak. I had not been able to smell
a thing, or get- anything through my
nostrils for over two years until I
used California Catarrh Cure, and it
has stopped the drOpping into my
throat and onto the stomach, which
had caused me so much trouble hawk-
ing, spitting, etc. I had a very bad ul-
cerated sore throat, which it. has cured
entirely. One ulcerated sore ate my
right tonsil all out, now it has all filled
up again. I had been under specialists’
treatment at. the Worcester Hospital
for three months. but my throat grew
worse instead of better. I can now
speak loud enough to be heard across
the street, while before using Califor-
nia Catarrh Cure my voice had grown
very husky and my throat pained Inc
all the time. I could enumerate many
more ways in which C. C. U. has helped
me, but the above must prove to any
one that this is truly the most wonder-
ful remedy of the nineteenth century,
and no onecun suyltoo much in its
praise. ”

. THE- CABINET MEETING.
.‘ . ::‘cl::lj,v tinge Says'fle Believes 21 Boiler
V Exploded on the llIaine.
\1"-‘*‘llll’ig10n, Feb. 17.—The conference
7‘&*1'-.‘.‘(:e}.i the President and the Cabi—
..~t officers, closed at noon yesterday
'ncl Secretary Gage, in leaving the
‘z‘fhitc House, said that the Preseident
had been unable as yet to form any
ri-ihnite opinion as to the explosion.
There were so many different the-
cries in regard to it, and so many con-
slit-ting dispatches have been received
that. as yet, he could not express an
mininn as to the cause.
“In fact,” said the Secretary, “we
have no opinion, and are utterly at
;~'-_ a. except that we know that it was
:1, terrible disaster, and that it has
“zirrcd the country to the utmost.
“The President has telegraphed to
spare no expense in caring for the
'-.‘;oundcl.l and giving honorable treat—
ment for the, dead, and providing for
1210 rescued. The Spanish Government,
through Charge d'Affaires Du Bose,
has milcially expressed to the State
l‘kq'mrtineiit its sympathy and horror
at the occurrence, and dispatches from
Havana state that the Spanish au-
thorities there are aiding in every way
11,) assist our officers.
"As to theories, the latest is that the
boiler connected with the dynamo ex-
ploded. igniting the magazines. But
this is just a theory some one has ad-
vanced. The President does not know
any more positive particulars than the
public. He is determined, however,
that there shall be nothing secret in
regard to the matter, and that every-
body shall know as much about the
terrible affair as he does."
The other Cabinet officers agree with
Secretary Gage that they" have no
clear or positive statement that it
was an accident, and the only thing
that seems to be official was a report
from the sentry on the poop, who de-
clared that vessels were in the vicinity
when the explosion occurred.
A Thoughlhll filttle Girl.
All Boston children are thoughtful.
It was a dear, thoughtful little Boston
girl who, when told by her mother of
the death of a grandmother she great-
ly loved. sat silent a while, and then,
looking up, said: “Mamma, what time
did grandma die?”
“At 4 o’clock in the afternoon," was
the answer.
Again the little girl lapsed into
mournful silence, until, as though a
ray of sunshine had broken through
the gloomy cloud, she devoutly cx—
claimed: “Then I'm so thankful she
had dinner firstl"—Buffalo Commer-
