HOW THEV DID IT. .'
The Vurhous “'ays Presidents Received
Chauncey M. Depew’s Requests.
Chauncey M. Depew says that he
- has had personal experience in seek-
ing office—not for himself, ' however,
but for others—from every Repub-
lican President. He says that Mr.
Lincoln” would always listen atten-
tiv‘ely to what he had to say, and
then tell a funny story. On his way
back to the hotel he would think over
h
the story, and finally see that it
landed his candidate way out of
sight.
General Grant always received an.
application for office as toasts to the
memory of lVashington are drunk——
standing and in silence.
President Hayes listened for a
while, then broke out into lamenta-
tlons that theattention of the Presi-
dent of the United States should be
diverted from the great affairs of
state to distribute patronage. “Then
he would make a. memorandum in, a
little red book, which was to remind
him not to do it.
General Garfield would put his arm
around your neck, tell you how much
he loved you, and then forget what
you had asked of him.
l’resident Arthur would listen with
polite attention to all you had to say;
then refer you to some man in New
York, whom you were never able to
li1itl.
President Hasrrison would sink
down into his chair until you had pre-
sented the claims of your candidate,
.‘lZld then change the subject.

“Nobody ought to be fooled by oleo-

pose as an oracle in his home.
"Why not?” asked his wife.
“Because there are so many ways of
distinguishing it from butter.”

boratory in the kitchen and carry a mi-

.QIJEEN MARGHERITA’S MUSIC-
“: is \Vagnerian, but King Humbert: Does
' Not Like It.
.Queen Marguerite of Italy is of all
the royal and imperial ladies of Europe
said to be the one who is the most en-
thusiastic disciple of Wagner,_and is
never so happy as when at her piano.
.Indeed, music, it is avei'red,\is the:sur-
est way to her good will, and that is
why several of the great powers of
Europe make a point of choosing for
their Ambassadors at Rome diplomats
who are more conspicuous for their
musical tendency than for their state-
craft. Thus the former German Am—
bassador, Baron von Keudell, used to
spend the greater part of his days in
playing duets with her majesty, and
his successor is that Baron von Bulow
who is known throughout Germany as
one of the cleverest of amateur per-
formers on the piano.
Queen Marguerite’s devotion to Wag-
nerian music, which is attributable to
the fact that she received her education
in Germany, is a source of sorrow to
her husband, who, like King Leopold,
of Belgium, simply abominates music,
for which he has no ear whatsoever,
and which has the effect of putting his
teeth on edge.
As he is extremely fond of his wife,
he submits to the infliction as long as he’
can. But when the strain becomes too
sing, and even goes so far as to chant a
few bars in an excruciatingly flat and
raSping voice. That always has the de-
sired etfcct, and causes her niajesty’s
piano to close with a. bang—Westmin-
ster Gazette. . -
HORSE ASPIRES TO HIGHER THINGS
His Curiosity Led Him Upstairs, and He
Refused to Come Down.
TEX-Alderman Peter R. Hopper, of
Paterson. N. J., is the owner of a big
bay horse that occupies a room on the
first floor of a building in St. Louis,
formerly a dwelling. The second story.
is used as a carpenter‘s shop. TWhen
Mr. Hopper went to hitch up the animal
one morning recently it was missing.
He found the wagon and harness in
their usual place. There was no trace
of the thieves. . A
While Mr. Hopper was wondering
what to do a neighbor solved the mys—
tery. Down the street he saw a horse
leisurely looking around from a 'second
story window and apparently enjoying
the novelty. Stairs four feet wide con-
nect the stable and shop. Mr. Hopper
went up them two at a time and found
his home. which had reached the second
story in the same manner as his mas—
tic-1‘. ’
The h one refused, however,' to return
that. w.;;:'. A clcated incline was laid
over tize stairs, but still it refused to
budge. A strong runway forty feet
long then constructed from the
see out sun-j. direct to the street, and the

THE. CUBA‘N ,“ REFORMS."
Q.” line of the DIeasures \Vliich Spain \Z'ill
Inaugurates. ' ‘
Canovas, the Spanish Premier, has
decided to inaugurate reforms in Cuba
without waiting for peace.
The plan provides for a Council of
Administration of thirty-five members,
of whom twenty-one are to be elected
by popular vote. The others are to
)0 selected by municipal and provin-
cial corporations and by the Spanish
Cortes.
\\
“It. \ \I.

-\

is
v
I GENERAL GOMEZ.
This Council will arrange the local
budget and prepare a tariff schedule
under certain restrictions, a most im-
portant one being that Spanish. goods
shall be given a' decided advantage
over goods of other countries. Spain
will continue. to administer he fi-
nances in the departments of war,
navy and the treasury, including the
payment of the Cuban debt. But these
cover 97 per cent. of the total expendi-
tures. The farcical character of the
proposed reforms is still more appar-
ent when it is stated that there are to
be no changes in the elective fran-
chise. TVith only one-ninth of the to-
tal. population of the island, the Span-
ish hold political control in two—thirds
The new Council of
Administration would therefore be, not
Cuban, but Spanish, and by an over-
whelming majority.
No wonder the Cubans reject with
contempt such empty shells of reform.
\T'arncd by the past treachcries of
Spain, the patriots will listen to no
proposals of peace short of entire,
dependence.
This world of ours is not as drFar
As we would often take it, I
Nor is it half as lonely here
As many people make it.
If skies are. sometimes overcast.
And all seems dark before us.
The sunshine always comes at last.
And throws its splendor o‘er us!

Eaton Jackets Popular for Linen and
Pique Gowns. -‘
By Special Arrangement with the N. Y. Sun.)
The modes in bodice decoraton are
legion, and, whatever the later French
models may bring forth, the little bo-
lero will hold its own throughout the
summer with all sorts of wide collar
effects, which may be put on as a YOkO
or loose at the edge like a collar. The
bodice which blouses a little in front
is still very popular, and some of the
latest gowns are fitted very close and
plain at the waist, where they are fin-
ished in two points, neatly corded afr
ter the manner in favor. Surplicc ef-.
fects. too, will be much in favor. .Va—
rious trimmings of embroidery afiord
a favorite way "of producing the de-
sired shape. but there will be a va-
riety of Eton and zouave jackets
among 'the cloth ’gowns for spring
wear which will have sleeves like the
more pretentious spring coats. Eton
jackets will be the most popular style
for linen and pique gowns, and serve
all the purposes of waists when worn
with 'fancy vests or false fronts.
fl‘ransparent materials of all kinds
vill prevail this season for dressy
gowns. but they are shown in greater
variety than ever before in all sorts of
mixtures of silk and wool, cotton and
linens, and fabrics not transparent
lll'e made to appear so by being woven
to look like one material over' another.
This kind of dress stuff is called moire
grenadine. and has the appearance of
a. thin, open-meshed, fine black wool
canvas over a colored silk. It comes
in green, plum ‘red, and brown, and is
certainly a very charming novelty,
giving the fashionable effect without
'w‘.
the‘cxpense of a silk lining. Grena—
dines in both silk and wool are dis-
played in very attractive patterns, and
the old-fashioned barege has come up
in a new guise with a silk warp in the
daintiest sort of textures and colors.
Tucked bodices are very popular
in silk and thin materials, and a pret-
ty example of this is shown in a linen
batiste with narrow crosswise tucks
for the yoke, which is outlined with
cream lace insertion. The fullness be-
low is tucked in groups three inches
down from the yoke and the insertion
is set in between. The sleeves have
.two small puffs. with insertion be«
:tween and up and down the close part,
{which wrinkles slightly between the
irows. The skirt is gathered on to a
fiplainer part around the hips, which is
(trimmed with three rows of insertion.
’Another modeljor batiste or muslin
,has two lace-edged ruffles at the head
of a Spanish fiounce. full bodice with
a radio of lace down the side where
it opens, and a frill of material and
one of lace over the sleeves. A pretty
‘m'odel for gauze, net, or thin silk gre—
nadine shows bands of beaded galoon
narrow lace edges all the frills.
