Wabiiinoton, Mny 1 . On tho floor of
tho nonnto tho other day I saw no fewer
than nix ox-senators, huts In hntiil, 011111
ting with friumlM and viewing thu section
of thilr fonnur triumphs or dlsupiiolnt
niouta. Those woro Warner Mlllur, of
Now Vorkj Thomas .1. Cllnginan, of
South Carollim; Joseph E. McDonald, of
Indiana: Ulmioho K. IJruco, of Missis
sippi; Omar D. Conger, of Michigan, nml
Augustus II. Qarland, of Arkansas. The
presence of mtuh a largo nninher of for
mer senators reminded mo that 0110 of
thooddphnsoHof llfoln WaHlilngton lathe
plontifulhcsn of '"exes." Wo boo "exes"
riding by in their carriages, or begging
dimes on tho street comer. Thoy sit op
jHwlto us at dlnnor, or hang about tho
barrooms waiting for an Invitation to
stop tyi and take something.
Tho "oxoa" arc everywhere, of nil ages
and colors and previous conditions of
ofllclal Borvltudo all excepting tho pres
idency. Wo havo no ox-presidents resi
dent horo, though wo havo any number
of men who escaped that great ofllco by
the skin of their teeth, and not of their
own desire, but owing to circumstances
over which thoy had no control. No
fonnor presidents aro horo, but there are
ox-cabinet ofllccrs, ox-senators, ox-congressmen,
ex-commisslonerH and ox-gov-eniora
guloros and as for fonnor wearers
of tho judicial onnluoand thoso who onco
Issued martial commands tho t "judges"
and "generals" and "colonels" and "ma
jors" their uamo is simply legion.
Men who live in tho national capital
for a time aa servants of tho jiooplo do
not llko to go away. Thoy aro fascinat
cd by tho lazy luxuriousuess of the life,
tho beauty of tho city and thu social op
portunities horo presontod. That form
of socloty which Is expressed chiefly In
good dinners and large, fertilo punch
bowls most enthralls thu mon, while tho
showy afternoon nnd ovonlng receptions,
tho teas nnd tho endless round of dress
parades known as calling bind tho wom
en fast in their tolls. "What! Leavo
Washington and go again to tho fron
tier?" exclaimed tho pretty wife of an
anny officer at ono of Mrs. Oatos' famous
receptions last week. "Why, If that Is
to bp my fato 1 doclnro I shall commit
sulcido. Rather than go to tho frontier
nnd leavo dear, dear Washington I w)ll
cut my throat." The pretty woman
meant ovory word of it, too, and she
made shivers run round the room by
drawing a fruit knife suggestively closo
to tho white skin of her nock. Then she
selrod a glass of punch, quaffed it with a
laugh, nnd what had passod for 11 bit of
comedy in tho minds of tho spectators
enmo to an oud. Out it was not all com
edy with tho dashing woman, nnd her
poor husband, tho nnny ofllcer, is out
hustling night nnd day for tho influence
winch may enable him to secure that
boon of boons In tho Borvlco waiting or
ders nt Washington.
"A curious commentary on this fasci
nation of Washington life," Bald Repre
sentative Ilitt, who is ono of tho brilliant
coversatlonallsU of tho capital, "was af
forded by tho surrender of Gen. Leo at
Appomattox. I was thou living in tho
National hotel, which nt tho close of tho
war was tho fashionable hotol of tho city,
Tho houso was filled with nnny ofllcors
and their wives, and when tho nowa
camu from Appomattox and tho people
In tho streets liegan to shout nnd cheer
and flnunt their flags with joy 1 stepped
up to tho parlors to boo how happy tho
ladles woro. Imagine my surpriso to
find three or four of them In tears, and
tho others looking very sad and Bolomn.
Wliat is tho matter?" I asked ono of
them. 'Have you not heard that Qen.
Leo has surrendered to Qen. Grant?
Yes,' alio replied, lmlf crying, 'and that
is just tho trouble. Wo know this means
tho end of tho .war, and that wo must
leavo Washington and go uway to tho
country to live again,' and then this wo
man, llko several of her sisters, burst
Into tears. I actually bollove," conclud
ed Mr. Hltt, "that half of theo gay.
devotees of Boclety would havo been
glad to lmvo tho war continued a couplo
of years longer that thoy might havo re
mained in tho whirl of Washington soci
ety."
With both men and womou fond of
Washington lifo it is not surprising that
this is tho place in'whlch tho "exes" most
do congregate. A man onco famous and
powerful, whom many peoplo thought
might himself becomo president of tho
United Stntes, now walks or drives tho1
streets of Washington unknown to nearly
all who bco him. Ho is n handsomo
man, with iron gray hnlr, a flno profile,
an intellectual face. His uamo is Bout
well "Lawyer Boutwoll" ho is called
b tho fow who know him and ho was
secretary of tho treasury under Presidont
Grant Ho was thon a social as well us
a political loader, and was eoou almost
dally nt receptions ami teas. Now ho
eschews all such frivolities, ami, llko the
averago man of exporlonco and sense,
confines his social exploits to the stretch
ing of his legs under tho mahognny
whoro there Is plenty of good wlno nnd
jjood company.
Plenty of other "exes" of tho cabinet
mny bo seen on tho streets of Washing
ton. William A. Richardson, who suc
ceeded Mr. Boutwell in tho treasury,
lives in one of tho haudsomest houses in
Washington, whoro ho is chief justice of
tho court of claims. Ex-Secretary of
War Belknap Is ouo of tho best known
men In tho city of Washington. Ho
jrrows rounder and jollier ami more rod
In tho faco as the years go by, anil tho
circle of his friends appears to lie contin
ually widening, Ho Is a gastronome, n
wit and a Btory teller. Ho makes ten or
fifteen thousand dollars a year as a claim
agent and spends it nil. He has a lovely
family nnd n luxurious home.
Tho oldest ex-cnblnet officer in the city
Is tho Hon. Gcorgo Bancroft, who wna
necrotnryof tho navy about forty years
ngp. Ho has lived to bco tho navy go
through four or flvo distinct iwriods, be
ginning with tho good old days when
our fillips' sailed tho sens as proudly nnd
Miucily as those of atiy nation, and em
bracing tho glorious time of war in which
wo gave to tho world tho Iron clad, tho
cornipt era following in which many
millions woro mpmndored in useless
wooden hulks, and tho ronnalssanco now
hero with tho stool ships and high free
boards taking tho placo of wooden hulks
and tho sluggish monitors. Mr. Ban
croft's claim to fame rests less uxm Ills
direction of tho navy department thnn
upon his diplomatic and literary services,
and yet I havo heard old naval ofllcors
say that ho did much toward organizing
and iwrfccting tho navy, particularly
with reference to tho laws and regula
tions governing it. For instance It was
through his instrumentality that tho old
law making promotions on ago alono was
changed bo that efficiency becamo n fac
tor In winning tho prizes of tho service.
Mr. Bancroft rarely leaves his house
now, nnd then only to walk through tho
pretty garden of his II Btreet homestead
on tho ann of his faithful Gennan at
tendant. John A. J, Creswoll, who was ost
mastor genornl undor Grant, Is n prom
inent banker of Washington, and tho oc
cupant of a houso which has In its day
sheltered tho families of six or eight
mombera of tho cabinet. A young and
nctivo man, who may be Been any day
on tho Btreets or in tho halls of congress,
as full of energy ns of good humor, Is ex
Postmaster General Hatton. Ho looks
llko n loy, but Is a successful editor and
an influential man. Another ox-pont-niastor
general who lives In Washington
is Horatio King. Ho was in Buchanan's
cabinet, and though not then a young
man, is still aotlvo and busy, taking as
koon interest in public affairs as ho ever
did. Ouo of his little hobbies is tho writ
ing of cards to tho nowspapore, but as lie
writes wit nnd sense it Is not by any
means nn objectionnblo fad. Tho Kings
livo in nn old fashioned house, whoro Is
hold ovory Saturday night a sort of lit
erary social. Horo may bo found nearly
nil of tho peoplo In Washington whoso
achievements in tho literary field havo
made them worth meeting.
A famous Did man, still halo and
hearty, is ox-Secrotary of tho Treasury
McCulloch, who lias just gono to his
country homo, not fnr from Washington,
for tho summon Llko Mr. King, ho do
lights In nowspnpor writing, and llko
many old men is as fond of controversy
as of his plpo. Ono of tho joys of Ills
lifo consists of inviting to his tablo tho
apostles of protection, such as McKin
loy, Shonnan or Allison, nnd talking
tariff to thorn till tho lamp flickers. Tho
lato Judge Kolloy, of Pennsylvania, was
often a guest in tho McCulloch houso,
and it Is Bald tho pair havo discussed tho
tariff question six or eight hours at n Bit
ting. Ex-Secretary and Senator Bayard is
still associated with tho capital, though
chiefly in a social way. Ex-Attornoy
Goneral Garland is making a fortuno
hero in tho pnictico of law. Ex-Senator
Conger, of Michigan, is also a lawyer,
and a successful ono, though his atten
tion is given chiefly to practico beforo
congress. Ho is tho very efficient nnd
vigilant representative in Washington qf
tho Lake Vossol Men's association, an as
sociation which embraces u merchant
mnrino interest larger than that of tho
entire American merchant marine on
tho ocean.
Scores of other ox-sonators nnd ox
roproBontatlves aro Washington lawyers
or claim agents. Ex-Senator McDonald
hna mndo i great deal of money repre
senting certain interests beforo congress.
Gen. B. F. Butler is a largo property
owner horo, and generally has enough
litigation of his own to keep hint busy
daring tho part of each year which ho
spends in Washington. Ex-Governor
William Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, lives
at Vico President Morton's hotel, nnd is
sold to mnko a small fortuno each year
by his 8peculntlons In Washington real
estate. Ex-Congressman Epjw Hunton,
of Virginia, whoso famo as a great con
stitutional lawyer still continues. Is a
practicing uttomoy In Washington.
John R. Thomas, who was for ton
years a momber of congress from tho
Egypt region of Illinois, and who de
signed a wnr vessel which tho navy de
partment is now building, fulled to
got an ofllco nndcr tho present admin
istration, and is making money us a
lawyer, with navy department work a
specialty. Ono of tho most prominent
and prosperous lawyers at tho national
capital, a man who can command fees
which aro small fortunes in them
selves, is Judge Shellabargcr, an ex
member of congress from Ohio. Gen.
Gcorgo B. Williams, Phil Thompson, of
Kentucky, nnd J. Hnlo Sypher aro other
ox-statesmen who aro earning their bread
as lawyers within tho shadow of tho
groat domo.
Ex-Pension Commissioners W. W. Dud
loy and James Tanner aro both getting
rich as pension attorneys. Dudley em
ploys fifteen men in his ofllco, and his
clientelo is rapidly extending. Whatever
may bo said of his political mothods,
Dudley is ono of tho most popular men
in Washington, and his professional and
private reputation is nbovo repronch. An
ox-senator who nover cured to go Into
law or claims, but who is content to earn
his bread as a modest, second class clerk
In the war department, Is Mr. Sawyer,
who sat in tho senato from Alabama
about twenty years ago. Ex-Senator
Bnico, tho colored man, is a wealthy real
estato owner hero, nnd bus lately been
appointed to a lucrative ofllco in tho gov
ernment of tho District of Columbia.
Among many other prominent "exes" is
Dr. William A. Hammond, who was for
many years surgeon general of tho anny
no lias just built, near tho rcsidonco of
Mrs. Gen. Logan, a homo which Is a vcri-
tablo pnlnce. Walteii Weluian.

THE "DOLL WOMAN."
A Cheery I.lttlo rrroimga Wlm Cntors to
tho Clillilron.
In a dltgy little store on a back street of
Brooklyn llveinHinlllniold woman, named
Margaret Ball, who works from daylight
until dark, nnd sings as she works. If tho
seventy ysnrs which sho 1ms sosn lmvo put
a crack In her volco, t liny lmvo not rnblicil
It of all Its sweetness, by any menus.
A glance in nt tho door of the little storo
makes one think of thu shop of Dickens'
Jenny Wren, whoso buck win bad and
whoso legs were queer. And, moreover,
there It a striking resemblance between the
two, In tlmt tho llttlo Brooklyn store Is
iim.i1 for much the same purposo as was the
llttlo Iondon room doll's dressmaking.
Tho "Cheery Llttlu Doll Woman," as the
Urooklyn dolls' dressmaker is known, has
a imthetle history, but no ono Mould ever
know of It If thoy waited for her to tell it.
She Is not ono of the gentlewomen who
constantly talk of the good times tlmt aro
gone, but she Is none tho less a gentle
woman, ami she has seen much letter times,
When she was a dainty llttlu girl Instead
of the dainty little old woman tlmt she is
now her parents wore rich and lived In n
Dig mniislou In
New York not far
from where tho
Iirillnrd pnluco
now stands. Sho
was graduated
from Rutgers col
lege and was a
rclKiilng bo Ho.
But her parents
died, and tho for
tune, left entirely
In tho inexperi
enced girl's hands.
dwindled rapidly mahciahkt hall.
until, presently, it was all gone, and In
stead of being tho mistress of a big houso,
always open to her friends, sho became tho
mistress of tho llttlo shop over in Brook
lyn. For a few years sho straggled bravely to
mako a living by selling her simple wares,
and succeeded fairly well. But after a tlmo
tho great dry goods stores ibeenmo so at
tractive that Brooklyn women stopjied
buying their trifles of her, and starvation
seemed to lw not very far away. But it
chanced that when sho first opened her
store soma kind friend had mado for its
window a big rng doll with llttlo ones
grouped about ft, which was labeled "Tho
old woman in the shoe." This attracted
the attention of a llttlo girl nt about the
tlmo when tho "doll woman's" prospects
seemed darkest. Tho girl bought the rag
dolls. More wcro made, which sold readi
ly, and now Margaret Ball makes a com
fortablo living from tho trnlllc. A kind
Brooklyn society girl takes tlmo to paint
tho faces of tho dolls, and they aro regular
ly on snlo nt tho exchango of tho Young
Women's Christian association in New
York and at tho various other women's ex
changes in the same city.
TI10 Federation of Women's Club.
Representatives of sixty-four women's
clubs met recently In New York city for
tho purpono of jicrfoctlng an organization
Intended to better tho condition of women
at largo ns well as tho members of tho clubs
comprising it. Delegates wcro present
from ns far west ns San Francisco and as
far south as New Orleans. Tho title Anally
chosen was "Tho General Federation of
Women's Clubs." Among tho bright
things said In the course of debate was this
by Mrs. Jenny Juno Croly: "To an earnest
woman co-operation Is ns largo 11 thing as
tho universal world; to many, however, It
only means to startngrocery." TIiIb meet
ing, coming as It did directly after tho con
vention of thu working girls' societies, in
dicates nn interesting ngltatlon along what
nro practically now lines of thought. Tlmt
the tendency Is to grade women more ac
cording to their ability than their pocket
books is shown by a remark mado by Miss
Grace II. Dodge, president of tho Associa
tion of Working Girls' societies, in an ad
dress which sho delivered beforo tho federa
tion. Sho told of a member of a working
girls' society who sent her cook to tho con
vention, knowing that sho had tho more
brains of tho two and would mako tho better
dolpgato. "Tho cook," added Miss Dodge,
"read a paper which was ono of the best
hoard at tho coug'ress."
Mound to Pick a Quarrel.
A gentleman was known by his acquaint
ances to lmvo certain Infirmities of temper
which had to bo endured by his family.
On ono occasion a friend chanced to lie
firesent at breakfast at tho houso. It was
n August, Mr. X. had not slept well and
all hU British blood was aroused. He
found fault with everything and declared
that there was nothing on tho tablo lit to
eat. After 0110 thing nml another had been
stmt uway Mrs. X. had some eggs, freshly
laid the day previous and boiled to suit her
husband, put before him. Ho looked nt
them crossly a moment, then took eno up
and broke it,
."How often have I told you, my dear,"
ho s.ild in a tone anything but endearing,
"that I did not want eggs In August? Do
you see how light the color of that is?"
"Well," his wlfo asked, "what if It Is
light colored? It Is perfectly fresh."
"Fresh!" her husband retorted angrily;
"that's nothing. Its Unlit color shows that
there's no good In it. It stands to reason
that in such warm weather hens get de
bilitated and lay debilitated eggs. If you
really cared what I lmvo to eat you would
lmvo thought of tlmt,"
Tho Work of tho Mlsalonurle.
Mr. Robert I-ouls Stevenson, the novelist,
gnvo expression nt Samoa tho other day to
his views regarding missionaries. Thoy
nro interesting. Among other things he
said: "Our religion und our morals are per
haps only tentatively Christian, but our
civilization Ls essentially and truly Roman.
At Mug Clirlstinrm, tho Polynesians make
in sood a shot as we do. They lmvo besides
novet(tnjoyed tho advantages wu possess of
the civilizing and energizing power of the
great Roman empire. The missionaries
who came to the South Seas came exercis
ing three distinct functions, Thoy were,
first representatives from Christ, bringing
hls'Cjospcl for men; they weru legates from
Homo, representing thoso who wcro tho in
heritors of Roman civilization, nnd thoy
wcro travelers for Birmingham. Ono of
the most surprising things to note was tho
Ingratitude of tho trader and the merchant
to tho missionary. True, we might lmvo
found a position by menus of money nnd
guns, but at what u cost! Wu owu more to
the missionaries who pacified, reassured
and partly Christianized tho natives."
Women Who Aro Fierce l'lctituni.
Tho French find that in warring with the
amnions of Dahomey they must lay nsldo
all vestiges of courtesy to tho "weaker
sax." Tho mnuzons lmvo tukni tho Held

mutUnto their victims. It was In retalia
tion for a barbarity, of . this sort tlmt a
j-'reneh ofllcer recently caused a half da:c:i

reports tho Africans seemed to lmvo tl.e
