".Special Correspondence)
Washington, Nov. B. Hero nt tho
nntlotial capital wo are just now in it
state of expectancy. Wo nro looking
forward to great things in tho near fu
ture tho speakership contest, tho organ
ization of now supremo court for every
Inch of noil in tho United State, tho
meet lug of h new ami rather picturesque
house of representatives, tho appearance
of tho fanner in tho Italia of national
legislation, tho formation of the linen for
tho great presidential struggle of next
year, jKissihlo changes in tho cabinet and
enough other matters of primo impor
tance and interest to keep us who aro so
unfortuuato as to bo scribes constantly
on tho alert and to give our pens an
abundance of material to work upon.
It is refreshing onco in awhile to
meet a man strong enough to tlcclino a j
scat in tho cabinet. I met ono of this I
sort tho other day, who had had a talk I
with f.io president in which General
Harrison suggested to him that if ho
wanted to bo secretary of war to sue '
ceetl Mr. Proctor possibly tho matter
could ho arranged. What my friend
said to tho president I do not know,
hut ho told mo that ho was not am.
hitious to become a cabinet minister
in a department in which his solo duty
was to sit behind a desk and sign tho
letters presented to him by army ofllcors
and civilian subordinates. This pretty
accurately describes tho functions of it
secretary of war, and woo to tho man
who goes into that oflco expecting and
endeavoring to havo things run in his
own way. Tho first essential in a suc
cessful secretary of war is absolute self
abnegation. Tho secretary who is satis
fled to sign tho letters presented to him
without asking too many questions and
who does not interfeio with tho meas
ured dignity of tho routiiio of affairs
by tho impertinence of suggestions of
his own, will get nlong first rate. 1
was talking with an army officer who
told mo that tho present secretary of
war was somewhat unpopular in tho
army. "And why, nruy?" I asked. "Oh,
ho has had tho audacity to presume
that he had tho right to givo somo di
rections in army affairs." This reply
was inadu in all seriousness, and for
somo timo tho officer was unahlo to soo
what I was laughing at.
This signing of public letters is ono of
tho nuisances of ofllcu holding in Wash
ington. Originally tho law required
nearly all tho letters sent out from tho
great departments to bo signed by tho
heads thereof, but as tho government
has grown in magnitude anil diveisity
changes havo been found imperative,
and hundreds of thousands of letters
formerly signed by department heads
aro now signed by tho heads of bureaus
and chiefs of divisions. But enough re
main to make tho daily task u formid
able ono for every member of tho cab
inet. Secretary Foster usually begin?
to work on his mail about !1 o'clock in
tho afternoon. Hugo bundles of letteis
aro brought in by tho clerks, and it mes
senger stands by his sido and removes I
the sheets ono by ono as tho signature is
affixed. Of eourso tho secretary doe.4
not stop to read tho letters. Ho has
about as much knowledge of their con
tents as tho charwoman who is sitting in
tho lower corridor waiting to begin her
daily work of cleaning out tho office.
Ho supposes tho letters to bo otlicial
business, but if a waggish clerk wanted
to ring In on tho secretary a document
declaring that tho Republican party is a
failure or a check for $100,000 Mr. Fos
ter wouldn't know tho difference, and
would sign it along with tho others. As
n matter of fact tho secretary usually
signs his mail and talks to his newspa
per callers at tho same time. It is diill
cult to tell which aro more numerous,
tho letters or tho correspondents, and
between the two tho secretary is lucky if
ho gets through and away to dinner at U.
In some respects Mr. Foster is an ideal
cabinet officer. Ho has tho training of
it business man. and a successful busi-
..... . , . .
ness mans tammy lor miming ouick
decisions. Ho knows how to say yes or
if 1 1.. .... lit i. t. ......... I
no, particularly no, wituout Humming
and hawing about it, and that is a great
thing. One of his rules is to clean up
all the business that comes to his desk
every day, never leaving anything over
for tho morrow, and since ho has been
in tho treasury ho has not onco failed to
livo up to his principle. People who are
not familiar with the workings of tlio
government departments would bo sur
prised to seo the amount of drudgery of
a clerical nature which cabinet ministers
havo to go through every day. My
friend who didn't want to sit down ami
preside over a desk while tho other fel
lows managed his department of war.
has a very acuto mind. All through tho
departments this signing of letters is
going on every day from 8 to I, and
often to 5 or 0 o'clock. It is estimated
that 50,000 letters a day go out of tho
treasury department, and nearly as many
out of the interior department. Of
course Secretaries Foster and Noble do
not sign all of thct-o. I'ven in tho state
department there are many letters to
sign, and Chief Clerk Urown told me
that tho first day Secretary Ulaluu was
in his oflico after his long summer vaca
tion ho signed 500 letters, "and every
signature," the chief clerk added, "was
as bold and firm as one could care to see
it."
Mr. Ulaiuo is a marvelous man in
more ways than one. He is an enigma
mentally and phyMcally. I was talking
about this to one ot his friends who has
known him intimately for many years.
"1 am not surprised," naid this gentle
man, "that when Mr. Ulaiuo came tc
Washington from liar Harbor, two
week j ago, I ho newspaper correspond
ents who weie at the station to meet
liiiu and size him up Wrre led to be
lieve by what they saw that tho secre
tary watt in a very weak condition. In
nil probability ho had thnt appearance,
though you toll mo you saw him trti
second morning nftor his nrrlvnl walk
lug from his residence over to the White
House, with head up and legs swinging
like an ntliluto out for his morning exor
cise. These sudden and Inexplicable
changes aro characteristic of Mr. Hlalne.
I remember during tho campaign of
1881 1 was detailed by tho national com
mittee to escort Mr. Hlalne from Now
York over to Newark, where ho mtt iw to
make a speech. Chairman Joiipm was
with us and wo traveled In ft jmrbr car.
Wo had no sooner left Jersey City than
Mr. Hlalne lopped down on ono of tho
couches and appeared to bo sick or tired
almost unto death. His eyes lecamo
dull and glassy, his jaw dropped, his
under lip hung low and tremulous, and I
ho appeared to bo in a state of alarming
weakness or coma.
"Both Mr. Jones and myself were
frightened. 'For heaven's sake,' said
Mr. Jones, 'find a physician o ihhuo j
brandy or something, or wo shall havo a
dead man on our hands before wo got to 1
I Newark.' Wo found neither physician
1 nor stimulants, and Mr. Ulaluu coiitiu 1
, tied in this peculiar condition, with all
I his mental and physical faculties in a ,
I state of relapse, which greatly resembled
j collapse, until we reached tho oitsklrti
1 of Newark and we heard tho campaign
bands braying. As soon as Mr. Hlalne
' heard tho music and understood its slg- (
I nillcaucc ho straightened up, rubbed Mr
, oyes, pulled himself together, and ton
minutes later walked out like a drum
major, erect, alert, springy, proud and
strong, and made ono of tho finest and
' most vigorous speeches of his life. That
is Hlalne all through, and 1 am told that '
to this day ho continues to alarm and
then amaze those who aro near him by
1 his sudden transitions from 0110 extreme
to tho other."
Speaking of newspaper men sizing up
I Mr. Hlaiuo reminds mo that wo havo
1 now in Washington a sort of ring in
I which wo place now public men so that
the correspondents of tho press may
gather around and size them up. 1 speak
of tho Press club. As soon as a new
public figure, or an old ono for that
matter, conies to town, some newspaper
man takes him in tow and introduces
him at tho club. Twenty or thirty
scribes surround him, and if tho man
has any hopes of future greatness or
fame as an intellectual quantity this is a
good timo for him to show the sort of
stuff he is made of. This is an inspec
tion in which bogus goods cannot bo
palmed off. If tho people who sent tho
man hither havo mistaken a scheming
demagogue for a statesman, and a sly
' but shallow politician font mini of brains,
( bo sure these sharp eyed newspaper men
1 will find him out. Probably no public
man new to tho Washington Held hits
made a better impression on these crit
ics of tho press than old (leneral Palmer,
I the new senator from Illinois. Though
almost soventy-flvo years old, General
Palmer showed tho scribes that ho was
tho equal of the best of them in wit,
memory, anecdote and argument. A
ruddy, cheery, happy old man is Gen
eral Palmer, with tho experience and
wisdom of three-quarters of a century
and the vigor and brightness of young
manhood. This is it rare combination,
and we all look to see this phenomenal
man make his mark in the senate at an
ago when most men are in the sear and
yellow leaf of decay.
The Press club at Washington has be
come one of tlio most popular resorts of
tho capital, Statesmen an) eager to gain
admission to its saered precincts and es
teem it a great favor when some friend
of the guild secures for them a visitor's

ago in tho rooms of this club, which for
twenty years were used as a public,
gambling house. A prominent man
from a distant state, who used to bo in
congress and who now occupies a high
official position at his home, strayed into
the clubhouse, where it was evident hi
had been a frequent visitor in tho old
days, and walked up to a long table at
which a number of newspaper men sat
playing tlio club's favoiite game doiu
iuoes. He looked on for a moment, a
look of disgust on his face, and finally
exclaimed: "Gentlemen, please tell me
where the tiger is. I want to play in a
stack or two of chips on him." Ho win

It was A. Oakoy Hall, at 0110 time
mayor of Now York, at another time a
fugitive. Onco a central figure of pow
er, then a byword. Once admired,
then heartily cursed. Twenty years
ago ho was a journalist of sufficient real
strength and inlliienco to be desired by
the Tweed ring as an accomplice, mid
was advanced by thotu politically more
rapidly than any other journalist has
boon in this country. He was thor
oughly identified with that ring at the
time of its exposure and disruption, and
the kindest thing his friends could say
of him and he had literally thousands
of devoted friends was that ho had not
been known or believed to havo ac
quired one dishonest dollar.
Tim disgrace attaching to tho enor
mous schemes of swindling In which ho
had boon employed by others was, how
ever, too much for a sensitive man to
boar up under, and Oakoy Hall (led not
from indictment or from any real danger
of legal proceedings, hut from public ob
loquy. Ho was Involved in various
ways, and the newspapers hunted up or
made ii story after story, all to his dis
credit, when it, was discovered that he
had gone. His disappearance made a
nineteen days' wonder, and after that
haully anything was ever soon about him
in tho public prlutsoxccpting reminiscent
references to tho great ring frauds or an
occasional paragraph telling that ho was
practicing law in Loudon.
Then suddenly ho catuo back, and has
been hero for several weeks. It Is just
and proper to say that he is living very
quietly, avoiding public notice and seek
ing out no one beyond a few old personal
friends. One of these said yesterday:
"Ho has come on n matter of business
necessity, and as soon as his business is
settled ho is going back to-Loudon to
stay. Ho is not in retirement, for ho Is
'doing the club act,' and is to ho found
from time to time at tho Lotus, tho Man
hattan or the Tenderloin. I Ie was always
it club man, and his friends are all club
men that is. all those whom ho seeks.
There is no significance to his return, and
he will certainly not remain hero."

I'llll.ADr.l.riilA, Nov. 5. Tho admis
sion of Mrs. Halle Tanner Dillon, a re
cent graduate of the Women's Medical
College of Pennsylvania, to practice
medicine in tho ututo of Alabama Is ati
interesting fact. Alabama has now its
first woman physician in tho person of
Dr. Hallo Tanner Dillon, a daughter of
Bishop U. T. Tanner, of tho African M.
E. church. Dr. Dillon was horn in
I'tttsburg Oct. 17, 18tll. She was reared
and educated in Philadelphia, and is a
woman of uncommon ability, shrewd
ness and practical ideas. While em
ployed as a bookkeeper In the office of
The Christian Kecnnh-r, before her mar
riage to Dr. Dillon in 188(1, she spent hei
leisure hours reading medicine.
lilt. Dll.I.ON.
Tho sudden death of her husband
strengthened her inclination for the
medical profession, and applying for ad
mission to the Women's Medical college
she pursued tho course, graduating hut
May. Learning that tlio Tuskooe Nor
mal and Industrial Institute of Alabama
was seeking a resident physician, sh
applied for tho position and was ac
cepted. The laws of tho state exact a
vigorous examination before granting a
certificate. Dr. Dillon was subjected to
one of tho severest ordeals in its history.
Iler examination lasted ten days. Hot
average was 78 per cent. Despite the
well known conservatism of the medical
profession of the state to admit any per
son of color tt its ranks without being
fully qualified, Mrs. Dillon was cour
teouly reciived, and n fortnight after
the examination she was officially noti
fied of her admittance. She is much
elated over her success, and eiflers
upon nor duties wttli the zest of tlio en
