will be the two daughters of Vice-President
Adlal E. Stevenson. The Steven
?oiik live at the Normandie hotel, where
they have had apartments lor .several
ears; In fact, since coming to Wash
ington In their piescnt iiolltical posi
tion. The Vice-President and Mrs.
Stevenson have a pretty, comfortable

JANE FULLER,
chamber adjoining a large and hand
somely furnished parlor, where tho two
young ladles occupy rooms above.
When Mrs. Stevenson Rives her recep
tions the parlors of the hotel are al
wayB at her service.
Perhaps there are no young ladles In
town who will receive more social at
tention this winter or more notlco In
the press than the two Stevenson girls,
yet to their credit It must be said they
are certainly unspoiled fc" far by the
constant attention which their move
ments attract. They are both slmplo
and perfectly natural in manner, total
ly devoid of affectation, and they dls
llko anything that brings them con
spicuously into public notice. Mrs.
Stevenson, recognizing the fact that her
husband's position demands a constant
snerlflro on her part, Is most kind to all
who approach her and he." motherly
heart i.eenis to Invite tho confidence
of those she meets. It Is not an easy
position to llll. for there arc numberless
calls on her time. Still It Is yet to bo
said that she has failed In a single In
stance to heli her husband in every
sense of the word, or that anyone mado
a demand on her time that she did not
cheerfully accord.
Among the other debutantes of tho
season will bo Miss .lane duller, tho
youngest .laughter of the chief justice,
and if the healtn of her mother per
mits, she will make her first appearance
In society within a few days. Miss Ful
ler inherits tho good looks that have
also fallen to the lot of her sisters.
She is expert on the wheel and spends
much of her time out of doors.
Mis.'! Julia Scott, daughter of Mrs.
Scott, who is a sister of Mrs. Adlal
Stevenson, is one of the buds of the
season, so that in oik' family theru will
bo three young ladles on the carpet at
tho saino time. Airs. Scott has taken
the homo of Mr. Falrchiiri Carpenter
and 1b expected to entertain a great
deal during the season, as sho has ono
daughter already in society and her
other ono is ready to appear about New
Year's. At present tho family expect
that Miss Julia Scott, who is now In
Paris, to reach town by tho 12th of this
month. Tho Scott mansion is beauti
fully furnished in cxqulslto taste, and Is
situated In n fashlonnblo neighborhood.
Tho MIrs Scott already Introduced Is
named Letltia, so that there are two

Julias and two Letltlas In tho Scott
and Stevenson families.
Tho daughter of tho rich congress
man, Francis (.1. Newlands, will also
make her first appenranco In society.
So will Miss Ethel Hlanchard, daughter
of tho senator from Louisiana, and Miss
Margaret Oann, daughter of tho minis
ter from Chill. Miss Ethel Hlanchard
Is very dark, almost a Spaniard In her
brunctto beauty. Sho has a Blonder
tlgure, black hair with a natural curl,
dark oyes and a clear complexion. Shu
la a very Intellectual girl and dovotcd
to study, spending most of her tlmo at
her books. Mrs. Snnator Hlanchard has
a roniarkablo talent for composition,
and it In from her mother that Miss
Ethel Inherits hor fondness for litera
ture. As this will bo hor first winter
In society and sho is tho only child in
tho family, sho expected to crcato quite
i sonhatlon among tho younger set.
Miss Oann, tho daughter of Sonor
Domingo Oann, is a slight blondo with
timid ways and a girlish figure,. Sho

Speaker KoedV, wilV and daughter

they have i pielty suite of looms on

appearance, and Is the especial pet of
her father. Mrs Reed leads a quiet
lire, going but seldom in roclety, but
she Is ery proud of her distinguished
huobaiid. finwds of visitors pour In
upon the Heeds all day, but as she has
been In town only a few days, Mis.
Heed has not been able to see anyone.
Minister Hatch, from Hawaii, expects
to go to housekeeping next month, ur.
his wife Is much averse to boarding.
There are two children In the family,
Harriet, a golden-haired girl of 7, and
Gilchrist, a dark-eyed, brown-halted
boy of I',. Since their arrival, tho
Hatches hae been stopping at the
Richmond hotel. Mrs. Hatch was a
Miss Alice Hnwes. of San Francisco,
where she was born and educated. She
Is a young woman with plenty of good
looks, n plump Hguie and easy man
ners. Mr. Hatch Is a native of Potts
mouth, Mas.., and has been for cnts a
piomlnent lnwer in Honolulu. Mrs.
Hutch seems to think that there is no
danger of the present form of govern
ment being overturned, and that the re
public Is looted on a i.ermanent basis
Sho has often dined with the former
queen, who Is an intelligent woman, but
Is not likely to recnln her throne. As
the eater pail of tho population Is
white. Honolulu Is a delightful place In
a social sense, and the number of ves
sels always In port nrikes the town re
semble a naval post. Mrs. Hatch likes
society, and her homo will be one of he
most attractive in town. Hut her tastes
are more In the domestic than In the
literary Hue.
Mrs. Thurston, wife of the senator
from Nebraska, is living at the Arling
ton, as the children were left In the
homo In Omaha. The collator has three
children, two girls nnri a boy,
Speed 2'J.S knots. Dimensions

Clarence, who Is lfi. Tho lad
is somewhat of .1 prodigy, and will this
year compe'o a courso far advanced
enough enough to allow of his going to
Harvard for tho next term. He Is a
tlne-looklng boy, and his remarkable
studlousness places him nt the head
of many literary societies In which ho
Ib interested. The two llttlo girls are
taught at home.
Mrs. Thurston Is a motherly-looking
woman with a low, gentlo voice and a
kindly manner. She Is an earnest
thinker on the subjects of the day, and
Is opposed to woman's suffrngo on tho
grounds that, If tho thing were fully
carried out, many women would bo
obliged to serve on mixed Juries, often
to their gieat discomfort. Then, again,
she says, as no woman would Join tho
army, It Is haidly fair that thoy should
have a voice in tho government, when
they cannot support it by their arms.
Mrs. Thurston takes a great Interest In
tho political life of her husband, and
has accompanied him for years in all of
his campalgnlngs. Tho Thurstons
have a lovely homo In Omnha, and did
not break It up, as tho boy had lo be
left thero to llnlsh his school term.
Tho report Hint Senator Wotmoro, of

h a h peremptorily
dismissed fiom his
cabinet Heir Von
Koeller, minister of
the Interior. This
ad ion was Hilton
IniMcdlntely c'ter
the opening c. the
.elchstng recently.
Ills majesty ex
.
pressed himself as
greatly displeased with the unwar
ranted severity that Koeller had exer
cised in leferenco to tho labor leaders.
Pievlous for his departure for Hrenlau
the emperor caused Heir Von Lucanus,
chief of tho civil cabinet, to make a spe
cial report In the e.iso of Ptofossor
nelbruech, whom Koeller caused to be
Imprisoned for making a mild state
ment referring to the Internal politics
of the empire, and criticising the whole
sale prosecution of th" social democrats.
Ills majesty afterward conferred with
Prince Hohenlohe, tho chancellor, and
the latter Is said to have Informed the
emperor that he would be compelled to
tender his leslgnatlon unless Von
Koeller wan dismissed. Thus the "peo
ple" have won a decisive victory and
the social democrats r.re stronger than
ever.
A deep shadow of disquietude hangs
over the Oeriuan empire. The most
conservative and Impartial men of all
classes fieely admit that an upheaval
such as Germany has never seen is
near at hand. There Is not a newspa
per or other publiea.ion but what
echoes this sentiment, with the added
Interrogatory: "What will bo the Is
suo?" The reason for all this agitation
Is to be found in t.io rtand Emperor
William has taken relative to the labor-

simply humored his vanity, and so long
aa ho did not seriously Intorfero with
them tho social democrats wero very
tractable subjects. Indeed. During tho
past six or seven months, howovor, the
emperor has taken upon himself to vir
tually dictate to tho labor lenders what
they ought nnd what they ought not to
do. From first grumbling at this un
warranted Interference, tho matter has
now culminated In a breach that has
taken on very alarming proportions.

have been arrested for slurring tho em

ly which they published. Henry Mack

has been exterminated in Herlln by or
der of the chief of police.
Dr. Hnrth says tho peoplo will In
sult tho emperor with over increasing
frequency as long as theso prosecutions
and persecutions nro kept up, and adds
that tho history of tho emplrof proves
It. For Instance, In 1S70, when tho
social democrats had free hand, thero
wero but 181 charges of leso-majesto,
and In 1877 but 2U0, while In 1878,
when Hlnmarck began to threaten nnd
punish tho socialists iiystematlcally,
tho number Jumped to 2,000. Hnrth
nays it Is German nature to want to do
most tho very thing that 1b forbidden
by law and tho cabinet, and tho om
peior can get himself Insulted in print
and by word of mouth fifty times a
day If ho only has tho crown lawyers
harry his subjects persistently enough.

tho emperor and Herr Von Koeller,

Tho Lolpale, Gazotto says:
"We, for our part, wish to sco all
social democratic leaders banished
from tho country, their wholo press ex
terminated, all tholr societies broken
up, and all their meetings forbidden."
To this tho radical dally, tho Tagoblatt,
replies with tho quostlou: "Why should

nnd lot tho high-tariff toiies, who de

Not since Drool: Farm has there been
a more extraordinary experiment In
"plain living and high thinking."
Tho Lord's 1'iirni Is but a few mites
from Undercllff, at whose smart llttlti
Inn tho Tuxedo coaching parties stop
their tally-hos. The Vanderbllts, tho
Heltuonts, the Asters nnd their fashion
able train ride within bugle-ball of Ibis
farm house on the hillside. From tho
road that winds Its brown length from
Undercllff to Pascaak you enn see tho
gables of Joe Jefferson's old homestead,
and tho old stone church where gallant
Aaron Hurr waited to see pietty Theo
docla Provost home after meeting In
their courting dajH, and where ho
finally wedded her.
Tho district Is composed of farms and
farmers, with the usual Interests of a
farming district, ni.ri tho social life is
mipplted by tho village church with an
occasional mid-winter revival to vary
tho monotony. At one or these revivals.
It Is told by the fanners, tho present
leader of "Tho Lord'ti People" made his
first appearaiiro in the neighborhood
iiiiMunson T. Huntsman, a lay exhortcr.
If" preached the gospel with a local
Evangelist for the first year unevent
fully. Ho then began to "see visions." These
"visions" greatly disturbed the young
men of tho district, as thoy chiefly ro
lated to tho personal linpoifcctions and
vices, large and small, of those of them
who had ostensibly "renounced tho
dovll and bin works." So correct wero
tho preacher's "visions" that a reform
movement resembling the Paikhurst
crusado was soon under way. Much
opposition was aroused against tho re
lormer who worked against tho pipe
and demijohn with unceasing valor, and
, declared also against the purple and
j lino linen and small besetting vanities
; of tho women.
l The mischievous portion of tho neigh
borhood broke up his meetings by duns
j ing him with cold water, and finally he
j was mobbed, his long hair and beard
I wero shaved from one slrio of his head
j and ho was roughly hustled aboard a
(rain for Jersoy City and threatened
' with worse treatment If ho returned to
preach his unwelcome doctrines,
I Ho returned, however, nnd was wel
I coined to tho home of young Garrett
GARRETT STORMS.
Storms, who had bocouio converted to
( his creed, nnd within a few years other
converts wero added to thu Inmates of
tho farm, and tho Storms homestead bo
eamo tho shelter of tho "Lord's people,"
persecuted on every side, isolated from
their former fiionds and social connec
tions and vlowed as moral lepers by tho
intolerant element.
All sorts of Incendiary rumors wero
current; that, they wero "froo lovors"
and held shameless orgies which they
deslgnuted na "angol dances"; thnt they
enticed and ruined young women under
