Wasiiinoton, March 80. -Homo queer
Incidents nro lu bo observed among tlio
ofllco neekern thcue dny. Thin morning,
for liiMnnee, 1 jmtuied on tlio Wlilto
limine ttortico to llnton for n moment to
tlio con vernation of n group of dlnnj
jKilnted men who were Mantling iimlrr
tlio jiorto eochcre Imnl hy. One win evi

took turns talking, ami tlio burden of
their song wn h denunciation of Presi
dent Cleveland for his fiilluro to recog
nlro their claims, Thoy ttcarcely know
how to express their Indignation.
Just as they had reached fever heat
nnd woro Indulging In homo very lurid
language concerning tlio master of tlio
Whlto House tlio secretary of war made
hia unpearaiico, Ueliifi iiciiiialuted with
two of tlio men, ho storied to talk with
thorn a moment, and I was surprised to
hear tho very men who had born de
nouncing Clovoland start in to praise
him. They exhausted their stock of ad
jectives and superlatives in describing
tlio greatness and tho goodness of the
president. You sou. Colonel Lament is
President Cleveland's right hand man in
tho distribution of tho oftlcea. His ad
vlco la often sought, and ho Ims closer
relations with tho president probably
thau any other man. Therefore tho dis
gruntled onen daro not air their griev
ances before Lainont, and from protesta
tion turned In ti way that waa comically
abrupt Into panegyrics.
This ia characterlstiu of thoofllco seek
era. Thoy growl and curso, but takti
good caro not to destroy tho remnant of
hopo that romalus within thorn by per
mitting their expletives to bo heard by
thoso in authority. It is funny to see a
squad of them in tho otllco of ouo of tho
members of tlio cabinet all smiles and
compliments and unctuous admiration
for tho now administration and to hear
t hem talk an hour later on their return
to their hotel.
Tho otllco Booking episode has now
reached tho ptago known as "kicking at
tho tavern." impromptu sytniioshiins
nro formed at tho hotels, nnd views, ex
periences, disappointments, indignation
nnd profanity freely exchanged. These
ofllco aeokers who Bit about tlio hotel lob
bies wearily waiting, hoping against
hopo and "kicking" wlillo thoy wait,
form n littlo world of their own. Noth
ing nppoara to interest them save tho
latest gossip about appointments. They
think nnd talk of nothing else. Thoy
must oven dream of tlio commissions
which have never boon made out.
Nor la it nil ludicrous. Many of those
poor follows bocoino half crazed over
their quest for official honors. It Is a
wonder more cranks nro not developed
among them. Last night, for example,
an ofllco seeker whom I havo known for
Bovornl years called mo to him in a cor
ner of tho Arlington hotel. Ho had lioon
writing n letter to his wifo in tho west
and insisted upon reading it to mo. It
was n talo of disappointment after dis
appointment, but of dogged determina
tion to hang on till tho last place is filled.
Aa ho read tho letter my friend's cheeks

wero wet with tears, and when I advised
hiiu to give up and go homo ho said,
"No; my wifoand I havoset our heart on
an appointment, mid if 1 fail I'll never
show my face In tho town whero I live."
Though most of tho placo seekers nro
still nt tho hotels, tho boarding house or
furnished room stage of tho business will
boou lw reached by many of them. As
ono after another runs short of funds ho
will nbandon hia oxpensivo quarters at
tho inn, and in n few months more wo
shall havo roaming tho st roots of tlio
cunltu! tho usual crop of frouzy, seedy,
discouraged and dilapidut 3d men who ,
ram to Wnihliigton for oillcos nnd
found thorn not. Within 00 dnyn wo
shall trnllzo again tho truth of tho old
tradition that many a man who comes to
tlio capital asking tho president to givn
him a foreign mission winds up with n
request for an uld pair of loota to walk
homo lu,
Speaking of foreign missions, thero Is
nu unareouutablo craze for going abroad.
Tho crop of hunters for consulships Is
tho biggest crop of all in tho otllco seek
ing llehl. I can understand why ovrn
successful men might want to go abroad
as a minister of their government. It is
nu Ijonor ami leads to a pleasant sojourn
in a foreign rapltal. It is also easy to
understand why a man should bo will
ing to take ouo of tho best consulships
ono of tho places which afford nu Income
of from 13,000 to $10,000 or iJtlS.OOO a
year.
These places, howovor, nro very fow,
nnd tho great majority of men seeking
consulships must bo content with iiohIs
which pay from $1,000 to fJ.fiOO a year,
mid which require them to bury them
selves In sleepy littlo towns which no en
ergetic American would over think of
choosing as a desirable placo of resi
dence. Yet thero nro many thousands of
men In the country bringing all tho
pressure thoy can to secure just such
places.
lio over to tho stato department any
of these days, and you will see a group of
men gathered nlxiut tho big globe in tho
corridor either picking out consulships
or looking up tho geographical position
of tho places for which thoy havo already
put in application. Everyday 60 orinoro
men call at tho consular bureau of tho
stato department and ask for copies of
tho register which contains n list of all
tho consulships, with salary ami fees.
Not ouo in a score of these men will get
nn appointment, but they apiiear to take
great delight lu turning tho big globe
around and in poring over atlases with
tho register lu their hands.
Nearly every man who asks for n con
sulship has some excuse for his demand.
Ono wants to go abroad for his health.
Another's daughter has n lino voice, which
must bo cultivated in Huropeaii schools.
A third is studying Scandinavian litera
ture with a view to making some trans
lations for which tho world Is yearning.
Thero Is a tradition, you know, that
consulships may bo rightfully used as a
sort of convenient method of pensioning
off "literary fellers," but President Clove
laud doesn't uphold tho tradition, and if
I woro seeking a consulship I'd throw
literature to tlio dogs and protend to bo
u simple business man whoso solo ambi
tion was to ntako a good consul and de
velop American trade as much as pos
sible. An amusing story Is told of nn ofllce
seeker from Georgia who wanted his
congressman, Mr. Moses, to take him to
waitiso to sin: Tiir.m rknator.
tho president and ask for an npioint
mont. Mr. Moses accompanied his con
stituent to the executive mansion nnd
paused in tho lobby to talk with some
friends. Presently ho stopped into tho
elevator to go up to tho library, but
missed his constituent and ascended
without him. Tho Georgian, who had
Improved tho opportunity to take n poop
tutu the east room, caught a glimpse of
Moses ns ho entered the elevator, but did
not BiiccVod in overtaking him.
When thv lift returned, tho Georgian,
not lieing familiar with tho White IIouso
or with elevators, stopped aboard and
told ;).o bov b take him down. In a I Mrs. Tonzalln. who. wttn iierbon.niuw-cour-loef
minutes tho Georgian was wan-! )r in Chicago, aro left of tho four chil-
cli.riiitf i, nut in tlio lnutiilrv uiul kitchen.

"V,'hv kin I do for you, boss?" in
qmn,'. one of tho colored cooks.
"1'r.i looking for Mr. Moses." said tho
Gcorginn.
"Ho don't cook hero," replied tho innn
in the apron, "but p'raps he's a 'ostler
down nt tho stables."
Tlio colored men themselves aro not
slow as ofllco seekers. Ono that I know
is a candidate for consul at Tnmntav,
Madagascar, and his argument in his
own behalf is certainly worthy of atten
tion. Tho climato of Madagascar, ho
claims, Is so unhoaltliful that every
other white man who goes there as con
sul falls ill of fever and dies during his
first year of service, and it costs tho gov
ernment more to bring tlio bodies of
dead consuls homo than tho salary of tho
ofllco amounts to. "Now, 1 can stand
nny climato in tho world," says tho ap
plicant. "I havo had yellow fever,
Chagres fever, swamp fever, smallpox
and cholera, and I'll guarantee not to
die on your hands at Tainntav."
Happening to call at the Klsmor hotel
earlv ono recent morning. I was Bur-
prised to find six or eight men Bitting on j
tho stairs. Somo of them wero rather ,
sleepy, as if they had gotten up early In

Mrs. Hrower is exceedingly domestic, en

her husband can accompany her even

Mrs. Waite, widow of the lato chief
justico, was born in Connecticut of
French and Huguenot ancestors. Of
her tlvo children only two aro living, a
son and daughter, tho latter at homo
with her mother. It wns said tho jus
tice never employed a clerk, but with
Miss Mary's assistance did nil the work
incident to tho preparation of his cases.
Sho thereby earned tho title of "her fa
ther's right hand," which might bo ex
tended and sho bo called "her mother's
heart," for such sho seems. Domestic in
taste, Mrs. Waite thoroughly enjoyed
entertaining tho distinguished men her
homo was thronged with during her hus
band's life. An extensive traveler, she
has been abroad n number of times,
while all parts of tho United States nro
familiar. Fond of making acquaintance,
her life in Washington has done much
to remove tho feeling that sho is meet
ing strangers in extending its limits.
Tho recent death of Justico Lamar has
revived a number of tho romantic stories
which found their way into tho press
when ho and Mrs. Holt of Macon mar
ried six years ago. There is just enough
of truth in all to preclude denial of any.
Ono of Mr. Lamar's daughters said to
mo that tho first and most beautiful lovo
story sho over heard was told by her
mother, and her father was the hero.
Mrs. Lamar retains much of tho beauty
for which sho was noted when a girl,
nnd there is an"uir of sincerity and cor
diality of manner when sho says "I am
glad to meet you" that causes ono to feel
as unrestrained as if greeting nu old
friend rather than a representative of
our highest social circle. It is not proba
ble that Mrs. Lamar will again make
her homo in Washington. Sho cares lit
tlo for gay society, so it is quite likely
bIio will dispose of her pretty homo and
hereafter reside with Mrs. Virgin, her
hist remaining child.

CilK'A(H). March 110. Tho light fin

of extracting your wallet from your rear
pocket, or your diamond stud or pin
from your shirt bosom, or porchnnco the
ilitnire drops from your lady's ears
tlieso will be afforded littlo opportunity
of taking advantage of what is known lu
popular phraseology as tho "law's de
lays" should they bo unfortunatoenough
to bo "caught lu tho act" wlillo engaged
in their nefarious vocation on the
World's fair grounds. In a previous let
ter I told about a littlo structure that
was in course of erection at ono end of
tho immense Inclosure, and which was
intended for n morgue, whero a deputy
coroner would bo constantly on duty to
attend to tho dead. Another structure
is now going up at the other cud of the

tll0 fonc0i It if, intended to bo occupied
n8 a jttatico cciurt. mill in It u tiiiiBiHtrnto
will bo constantly on duty to the end
that justice may bo dono to crook nnd
victim alike.
It is perhaps n trillo unfortunate that
wo can't "railroad" criminals in this par
ticular part of tho United States. They
do things better in the stato of William
Penn, and tho majesty of tho law has
never been better oxempllllod or vindi
cnted than it was in the Quaker City
during the progress of the centennial
Ono instance comes forcibly to my mind
ttwnsnn the Fiiurthof Julvof thoccntcn
As ho put his foot on tlio first step and
tho blue coated Cerberus reached for his
ticket ho felt a tug at his watch chain
and realized iu a second that his time
piece had vanished. At tho same mo
ment ho was conscious of tho fact that a
genteel looking young fellow who had
followed him in single lllo up to tho
stand was now wiggling his way through
tho crowd liko a worm.
The foreigner, who was agilo and tleot
footed, wiggled his way in tho sanio di
rection, chased tho culprit across Inde
pendence square, jumped on his neck as
ho was going down tho steps into Walnut
btreet and pinioned him to tlio ground
until relieved by tho breathless, panting
police oflleor. who had brought up the
rear a block bdiind. All this happened
at noon. At 5 o'clock that same after
noon tho grand jury had returned a trut
bill for highway robbery. By 11 o'clock
on the following morning the fellow had
been tried, convicted and was on his
way to tho eastern penitentiary, "Cherry
hill," as tho Philadolphlans call it, to
servo n sentence of three years imprison
ment. That's what thoy call railroading
in tho Quaker City.
Wo won't, however, boablotoddthings
that way out hero this summer simply be
cause our laws aro so framed as to alTord
every possible loophole for delay so far as
tho criminal is concerned. In fact. I am
told by an eminent authority that thero
are only three states Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Wisconsin where tlio laws aro so
framed that oven when the necessity
for making a public example is the great
est tho crime of today can bo finally
dealt with by tho law in its majesty to
morrow. However, wo have something
of a substitute for "railroading," and a
substitute, moreover, that may prove
equally unpalatable to the criminal fra
ternity. Instead of charging them with
a specific criminal oflonso, which would
necessitate a binding over to tho grand
jury and their admission to bail, if bail
was forthcoming in tlio meantime, thoy
can bo arraigned before the justico of
tho peaeo on tho general charge of "dis
orderly conduct."
Tho justico sits as both court and jury,
nnd having heard sufficient evidence to
conviuco him that tho individual ar
raigned has actually been guilty of con
duct so designated ho can, in tho oxer
clso of his discretion, cither lino him a
sum not exceeding "i00 or commit him
to tho Bridewell for a period not exceed
ing ono year. This institution may not
bo as severe in itsmcthodsaud discipline
ns the penitentiary, but it is a matter of
record that thoso who havo onco boon its
guests never hanker after a second expe
rience of its hospitality.
This, therefore, is tho kind of "abort
shift" that the World's fair lawbreak
ers may expect as their portion. I men
tioned just now that tho justice court
will bo located outbido of tho inclosure.
'llils is iiocuuso uuiler tlio stato law a
court cannot sit within any placo roofed
or unroofed to which an entranco fee is
charged. Thero will be, however, n pri
vato exit right handy, so that tho court
room can bo reached without delay or
tho chances of encountering a mob. Ar

Still another feature of tho polico ar

marine sorvioo. Tlio lake front is Intend
