(Special (VnrpoDdence.)
r)NDON, Nov. 18. Lady Wilde, tho
mother of tho erratic jtoet, was liorn In
Dublin, where sho lived most of her lifo.
nnd there showas married to Dr. William
Witdo, a noted oculist, lie was ns odd
and eccentric ns he was talented, nnd
that is to say a good deal both ways.
Ills studies nnd researches resulted In his
making Romosuch important discoveries
that ho was knighted in consequence,
and from plain Airs, his wifo was hence
forth Ijidy Wilde.
Sir William Wilde was very absent
minded, and, to say tho very least, care
less of his toilet, lie absolutely would
not tnku timo from his studies to keep
himself respectable, and it was the hard
est matter to get his hair combed, as it
was slightly curly and long. Sometimes
when Ijidy Wlldo would sco him ab
sorbed in n book sho would pouneo upon
him with brush nnd comb nnd jtolish
him up a hit, but beforo nn hour he
would look fully ns unkempt and neg
lected as Itcforo.
A clean shirt was laid cut for him
every other day, nnd ho would usually
put it on; hut if Lady Wildo did not
watch him ho would put it on nbovo the
ono ho already woro. Sometimes, it ia
said upon good authority, Ito would
bo found U liavo on six shirts, ono over
tho other. Often ho had odd shoes on,
nnd nothing could compel him to wear
gloves. Friends had to keep tho strictest
watch over him tho day ho was knight
ed to keep him from doing something or
other which would liavo perhaps caused
him to bo sent away from tho presence
of tho queen in disgrace, instead of a
nohlomnn.
Dr. WIIdo'8 ordinary dress consisted of
a coat which was slimy nnd greasy from
top to Itottom, with bulging pockets. A
pair of trousers, baggy at the knees, and
as dirty ns tho dirt could hold on them,
nnd a hat that looked as distressed as Ida
clothes.
Ono day ho was called to London for a
conference with somo of tho most noted
oculists hi tho country, and thoy wailed
Impatiently for his arrival. Ho reached
the boost) with ono shoe and ono boot
on, and with his old coat and pants,
shocking had hat and unkempt hair,
looked little like any of the London nnd
Edinhurg doctors who had reached there
beforo him. Ho knocked on tho door
and the servant who opened it thought
him a tramit or vagabond and otdered
him to Ito oil.
"Here," said the doctor, "I don't want
any nonsense. 1 enme hero for n con
sultation, nnd I advise you to open the
door."
The man half hesitated, and Sir Wil
liam put his brawny shoulder to tho
partly opened door and sent tho lackey
reeling hack, and then the doctor walked
in. The oor servant called for help,
thinking that tho plato was in danger,
when thn doctor took him hy the collar
and said:
uere, you spalpeen, bead mo to your
mother's room, or by tho powers I'll cat
you. l'm Wilde."
IVjythls timo tho master canto out of
hfoVtudy, attracted by tho noise, and ho,
too, mado a mistake, and tiskcd what
this meant.
"I'm Wilde, nnd this spalpeen wouldn't
le. mo in. You sent for mo to Dublin,
and now your footman won't let mo In.
Dy this timo thoothersnw his mistake,
as ho had already heard something of
tho doctor's untidy habits, and ho hast
ened to nttologizo by saying that tho
errant must be drunk and should be
eat away directly.

Wariii.noton, Nov. 28. I nut sorry to
say that Mrs. Harrison In not in very
good health. Sho is now under tho doc
tor's enre, and Is confined pretty rigidly
to a diet of milk and stalo bread She
says sho has appetito enough, hut tho
cruel doctor will not give her permission
to appeaso It in her own fashion, Tho
trouhlo is n gitstrja ono, and can be to
moved only by persistent caution as to
diet.
Tho president has n doctor, loo, hut
does not often have occasion to send for
him. Tls a curious fact that one call to
tho Whlto House brought, or is in n fair
way to bring, a fortune to a Washington
physician. Since tho president mado Dr.
Bowers his physician this young gentle
man, nlready jKipularand successful, has
found his practice quickly doubling. Ho
is now the hardest worked man in tho
city of Washington, his Whlto IIouso
patient, probably, excepted. Dr. Sowers
Is no morn than 85 years old, and his in
come Is $25,000 a year.
den, Harrison works like a hired man,
and ho Is likely to kill Llgo Hal ford be
fore his term is half out. Tho trouble is
that the president goes to bed too early
and getH up too early. Ilo is rarely up
later than 10 In the ovening, and then ho
wants to begin work at 8 in tliu morning.
This habit doesn't nt all fit tho privato
secretary, who, as a morning newspaper
worker during ten or II f teen years, ac
quired tho halilt of retiring a llttlo be
fore other peoplo got up, and of sleeping
till the forenoon is half gone. If tho
president would work all night and eat
his breakfast at 3 in tito afternoon, ns
Mr. Arthur used to do, It would just suit
Mr.'Ilnlford.
The privato secretary Is ono of those
rnro men, n Christian editor. Ho ha.
carried his piety Into politics, too, nnd la
ns fond of tho church and all that per
tains to it as ho was when ait Indlauap
oils editor. Nothing pleases him hettet
than a chance to sit down and talk with
a bright, sensible minister of the gospel.
Such nn ono you may often sco In the big
red leather chair that stands between
Llgo's desk and tho door to tho presi
dent's library.
Mrs. Harrison is fond of tho church,
too, but she has given up attending, and
for n rather novel reason. It is not the
condition of her health that deprives her
of ono of the pleasures of her lifo, but
her dread of being stared nt. It is nn
actual fact that tho people gaze at her so
much in church that sho can never tell
whether tho minister Is preaching on
foreign missions or infant baptism. So
sho has resolved to stay at homo. She
goes occasionally to tho theatre, which
sho wouldn't do but for the protection
from curious eyes afforded by tho cur
tains of tho box, which she Invariably
occupies.
Mrs. Cleveland never objected to being
stared nt; at least, she nover tried to get
away from tho crowds. Sho had a way
of smiling nt masses of peoplo as much
as to say slio rcognized nnd sympathized
with their curiosity. Besides, she was
woman enough to take a llttlo delight
out of tho consciousness that somo ad
miration was mixed with tho curiosity
liven tho receptions, out of which Mrs.
Cleveland used to derivo so much
pleasure, Mrs. Harrison is looking for
ward to apprehensively.
Mrs. Cleveland was fond of shopping
in Washington. Everybody know her,
nnd hundreds of oyes followed herpvery
movement, but what did sho care? Mrs.
Harrison, however, nover goes to the
shops unless it is absolutely necessary,
and sho prefers doing her shopping In
Now York or Philadelphia, whoro her
faco is not so well known.
Tho first lady of tho Innd is ua scnsihlo
and practical as sho over was. Tho glit
ter of power has not mado her tho least
bit dizzy. Even in shopping no false
pride is allowed to govern her actions.
She was in Rohr's Infants' outfitting es
tablishment not long ago, buying n cap
for ono of her grandchildren. The only
thing in stock of the sort she wnnted
Mrs. Rohr nsked $3 for, but Mrs. Har
rison said that was more than sho careo
to pay
"Wo can make you up a very prettj
cap at 2.50." said Mrs. Itohr.
"No," replied Mrs. Harrison, "I hau
thought $3 was enough for a cap, and
I'll not pay any more."
She didn't. Nino women out of ten
would liavo been too proud, In Mrs. Har
rison's placo, to decline to buy a baby's
cap or any other nrticlo simply because
a dollar stood in the way
Mrs. Cleveland's closest friend in
Washington was Mrs. Whitnoy, wifo of
the secretary of tho navy. Mrs. Harri
son's closest woman friend is Mrs. Clark
son, wifo of tho first assistant postmastei
general. A genuine earnest friendship
has sprung up between theso genuine,
earnest women, Mrs. Wnnumnker Is
also n member of the llttlo coterie, ltoth
Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Clarkson are in
lovo with tho wife of the postmaster gen
eral, who has, in lite opinion of Mrs.
Clarkson surely a competent judge
tho Bweetest, most perfect homo in
America. "It is rich hi all that money
can buy," says Mts. Clarkson, "nnd
richer in that which money cannot buy
perfect lovo nnd peace and n hospital
ity which lllls the heart."
Thcso ladies of tho administration will
ttave ample opitortunity to wonder dur
ing tho coming winter why their hus
bands over left their prosperous business
es and pet feet homes for Mrs. Clarkson
has a beautiful homo in Des Moines, la,
to work for that hard, ungrateful task
master, Undo Sam. The postmaster
general and ills first assistant go to work
nt 8 in tho morning. They nro busy with
callers till 6, and unable to get nt tho ac
cumulation of business on their desks.
Often it is 8 or 0 In tho evening before
they go homo to dinner, and Mr, Clark
son would not quit often then If his
wifo did not go after him and metaphor
ically take him hy tho car and lead him
to iho carriage.
Speaking of tho president's physician
reminds mo that tho daughter of tho late
Dr. Ullss, tho famous old physician who
was tho medical adviser of several presi
dents, and whoso naiuo has been n house
hold word In tho capital for forty years,
is one of the rising physicians of the
city. Sho Is n fair type of that largo
class of brainy, earnest woinon who take
up thn battle of lifo practically alone,
but with unfailing courage. Dr, Clara
nilss-IIinds is not only winning popu
larity In Washington as a practising
physician, hut is becoming famous
throughout tho country ns an advocate
of woman's life Insurnnconnd of tho sys
tematic collection of statistics iteariilg
upon tho birth, lifo nnd death of the
human race. At tils death Dr. Ullss.
after a long and very successful practice
left little except an account book con.
tabling $20,000 of unpaid hills. I have
heard it said that Dr. Hltss prolonged
the lives of ft greater number of public
men Mian any other pliysiclnn of hii
time. The Into S. 8. Cox used to say Dr
Ullss had saved Ills lifo a half dozen
times.
A room nbout which sad memories
cling is tho library of Mr. Cox in thn
handsome home built by him in this city
a few years ago. Mrs. Cox never goes
into tho library when sho can help it,
for that apartment reminds her of the
many long evenings spent thero in her
husband's company as his secretary and
companion: for Mrs. Cox was ona of
thoso women who helped their hus
bands with every detail of their work.
Mr. Cox'b library tablo stands just as ho
left it. Not n paper or hook has been
disturbed. Still It is tho nemo of order
liness. Sam Cox, with all his brilliancy,
was a man of method, of application, of
toll. Not alone his wit, but his persist
ency, his mastery of all tho subject!
which canto to his band, won him suc
cors. Cox was known as ono of tho best In
formed men in tho houso. His knowl
edge wns fairly encyclopedic. A hint ol
tho method by which this reputation wiw
won lies upon his library tablo. It Is an
atlas so full of clippings from news
papers and magazines that the ttook it
swollen to thrice its original proportions
At tho map of Nicaragua, for instance,
aro fifty newspaper cuttings nltout thnl
country, its politics, statesmen, nnny,
navy and commerce. Bo with Chili,
Brazil and all other countries, particti
lnrly tho western nations, in turn.
If Mr. Cox had not been a man of care
ful method, not even Ids great industry
would liavo enabled him to keep abreast
of modern thought nnd literature, and
nt tho some time to perform the prodig
ious amount of laltor which fell upon
him as n loprcscntatlvo, as one of tho
leaders of his party in tho houso, and
as tho friend and champion of many
worthy Interests and measures. For
soveral years ho devoted to tho letter
carriers alono an amount of labor equal
to all that performed by the average con
gressman, and now tho grateful letter
carriers nro to build him a monument.
Of his habits of work Mrs. Cox said a
day or two ngo:
"When I camo to look over Mr. Cox's
desk, 1 found no unfinished business.
Everything was dono up lo tho day ol
his death, excepting threo letters which
ho ltnd promised towrito for friends who
wcro seeking places in tho Now York"
city government. For theso threo let
ters I had addressed tho envelopes, as 1
wns in tho habit of doing for all his cor
respondence, but ito was too sick to
writo tho Inclosures."
Mrs. Cox added:
"Few peoplo know what a hard worker
Mr. Cox was, nnd how much ho was
ablo to accomplish. I onco asked him to
sit down nnd mako mo'a memorandum
of tho important legislation In which lie
had borno a part, simply by way of rec
ord of his lifo work. Ho replied: No,
I cannot do that. Tho present Is too
lively nnd the future too tremondou'i to
bother with tho pasL' "
Secretary Blalno was ono of tho guests
at tho dedication of tho new Catholic
university in the outskirts of tho city
Among tho newspaper corresondents
present was a young woman society re
porter who has not been long in tho busi
ness, though sho is ns bright as a new
silver dollar. Fearing that sho might
not bo ablo to get anything to eat till her
return homo at night, she put up in a
very small and very neat parcel ft slico of
bread and meat, with ono piecoof chceso
nnd two pickles for relishes. To her sur
priso nnd delight sho was Invited to the
dinner given the notable guests, and
chanced to occupy a seat directly oppo
site Secretary Blalno. But what to do
witlt that luncheon! Tho absurdity of
carrying a bread and meat lunch to n
banquet so impressed tho young woman
that sho laughed immoderately, and
finally, becoming desperato, she tossed
tho now obnoxious parcel under tho table
at her feet. As tito dinner wnsconcludcd
nnd the guests were rising, tho secretary
of state hastened round to tito young
woman's side. Smilingly ho held out to
Iter a fragment of her own bread and
meat and picklo, saying, with a mis
chievous twinklo in his eyo:
"Better put this in your pocket to eat
on the way homo if you get hungry. I
have tried tho bread, nnd it is very, very
good. Who mado It?"
Walteb Wellman.
Tho Lead I'encll Sharpener.
A ccntloman who admired litis won
derful inventive faculty, and who, vlth
all, was of a speculative turn of mind,
once suggested that if, following tho ox
ample of tho'tnan who first tipped lead
pencils witlt india rubber erasers nnd
thereby made a fortune, she could slml
larly attach a pencil sharpener, a fortune
might also bo made. Before tho conver
sation was finished, this genius, with a
bit of cardboard and n pair of scissors,
had fashioned a scroll like contrivance
not larger than hor little finger, nnd in a
couplo of days a -vorker in metals had
reproduced In steel the model of a sharp
ener that Is now everywhere popular In
tho stationer's stores. F. (1. Do Fontaine.
