TAKING A GIRL TO THE THEATRE.
Social Red Tape to Which Men Are
Not -ncliued to Submit.
From the San Francisco Argonaut.
New York doe parties are a necessity, or
else the women must remain at home. There
is always a good nature-! theatre-going man
about somewhere, aud he is in demand, for
escorts of the better sort are rare. These
theatre-going, cloak-carrying and gossiping
men are to be seen everywhere, and always
with maguilicent women. Apparently they
have a choice of girls. They are useful, and
they seen to realize that that is the sole cause
of 'their existence. It is not difficult to
tell why young men of position and person
ality do not ursurp the privilege of the
obliging man. The detail and bother of
theatre going under certain aspects are
what keep the more important of the
men shy Many a young S'ew York busi
ness or professional man feels inclined to
take a lady to the theatre occasionally after
dinner, and would be exceedingly glad to
run in on her about 8 o'clock and’cart her
off to the play, after the good old Ameri
can fashion. But this is not pos-ible nowa
days. Though the nondescript and amiable
escort may take the girl or wife to the thea
tre without preliuuuary details, the man of
the world is forced to go through such a
wealth of details that the trouble outweighs
the joy. He must write a polite note to the
girl originally, and ask her if she can t go
on the following Tuesday to Daly’s Sne
writes him a flattering little reply,"m which
she explains that she is thrown into a state
of ghastly misery by the fact that she Las a
dinner party on Tuesday, and is engaged
for Monday and Wednesday nights. But
she and mamma could go Thursday, if that
night would do.
The man of the world bolts the mamma
with a blast-furnace sigh, gives up the
cherrshed idea of going to a prize fight on
Thursday night, and then drops a meek
note expressing delight at the prospect of
going on Thursday to the play with the
girl, especially with her mamma. Monday
lie has to leave his office early in order to
get up to Daly’s in time to buy good seats.
Of course, he’gets very bail ones, for they
always book week* ahead at that house.
Thursday he sends the bouquets, hires a
double (arriage, hurries around like a mar
tyr, takes the ladies to the theatre, and
listens to the inane platituies of the mother
and the chatter of the girl until the play
has drag ed its weary length along. Who
ever knew a girl total well in the presence
of her mother in a public plaef Tne mao
of the world takes the pair o.n; aftar an
evening of wearisome artificiality, and
swears by the moon that hewill never do
it again. One item of the excursion is the
Co*.;. But mure fatiguing and annoying
than anything else, is the intolerable bother j

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1887.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Some of the Anecdotes that are Circu
lating; in Washington.
From the Xew York Herald.
When two of the most distinguished Sena
tors in public life called 14km Secretary
Bayard ami insisted upon au appointment
in the consular service for oue of their con
stituents the Secretary replied that he hail
nothing which it would pay the man to
accept.
“Ho isn’t particular about the salary,’’
one of the visitors observed. “A thousand
dollars a year w ill suit him."
“A thousand dollars a year!” echoed the
Secretary sarcastically, “why, I-can find
five hundred men witliin twenty-four hours
who would jump at it. Good men, too,’’ he
continued emphatically, seeing a look of iu
credulity upon his visitors’ faces.
“Ixiok here,” he continued, pointing to
the Department Register, “do you see this
place, and this, ana this,” indicating them
as he spoke. “You will see that the emolu
ments of these offices fall bel >w s7>o tier an
num in each ease. Would you think that
anylxxly would desire an appointment at so
trifliug a remuneration as that! No, of
course, you don’t, and vet I have applica
tions daily for them. It is true the appli
cants are not Americans They are natives
of the different countries in which those
consular offices are situated. The men who
want them are engaged in trade. The ap
pointment would permit them to fly the
American flag and invoke the protection of
the American government in the event of
trouble.
“Several years ago tbe Consul General at
one of the far Eastern countries was paid
the enormous sum of $50,000 for five con
sular agencies in his district. He did this
without the oonseut of this government, but
he got the money just the same. You w ill
see cy the register that the fees at all five
of the places scarcely foot up SIOO a year.
The appointment carried with it, as I have
said, tbe right to fly the American flag. It
happened tliat the men in each case were
bankers.
“Ehe ruler of that country had the not
unusual Eastern fashion of sometimes levy
ing a heavy tribute upon his subjects. Not
infrequently this tribute amounted to as
much as the sum paid to the Consul Gen
eral. The moment they represented the
United States, that moment they were free
men so far as coercion from their mler
we t. They paid high for their immunity,
but it was undoubtedly a good investment.
“I trust gentlemen, continued the Secre
tary, “that this brief illustration will show
the futility of ever expectiug a vacancy in
the consular service, no matter how unim
portant the position may be. Sometimes
the incumbent dies or is di missed—some
times, I say. But I can assure you in all
seriousness, that he never, never resigns.”
They were talking over the report that ex-
Congressman Jiin McKenzie, of Kentucky,
might probably receive the nomination for
the vacant mission to Mexico. By "they” is
meant a little group of Representatives w ho
had gathered in the House cloak room after
adjournment to-day. The group include i
Payson, of Illinois; Burae-, of Missouri; Mc-
Kinley, of Ohio, and Capt. Hn-sler. the
Appointment Clerk of the Interior Depart
ment.
“Jim McKenzie,” said Mr. Payson. “is
one of the brightest men I have ever met in
public life. I lemeinbe" away back in the
Forty-sixth Congress that McKenzie intro
duced a bill for a public building at Pu
d cah, which had been favorably reported
by the committee. It was placed on the
calendar, where, in all,p obability, it would
remain forever unless some extraordinary
effort was made to bring it before the
House.
"McKenzie tried repeatedly to catch the
Speaker's eye, but for some reason Randall
chose to ignore him. The end of the session
was gradually drawing near and McKenzie
began to grow desperate.
“One rlay while tbe regular order of busi
ness was under consideration McKenzie
startled the House by rising to bis feet and
shouting: Mr. Speaker. I rise to a question
yf the highest privilege!’
“‘The gentleman from Kentucky will
state his question,’ answered Randall, turn
ing in McKenzie’s direction.
“ 'My question, sir, involves 'a matter of
the highest privilege—the right of a mem
ber to his seat.
“This rather sensational announcement
drew upon him tbe attention of the entire
Home. The silence which followed was
broken again by McKenzie, who contin
ued:—
“'I ask unanimous consent to take from
the calendar. House bill N . 14.706 and pass
it under a suspension of the rules.
The calendar was hastily c nsulted, when
it was discovered that House bill N-c 14,703
provided for the erection of a public build
ing at Paducah, Ky. Randall was furious
with rage.
“ ‘The gentleman from Kentucky forgets
himself,’ he began, when McKenzie with
comical seriousness interrupted him:—
“‘I spoke the plain, unvarnished truth
when I sa:d the passage oi that bill involved
the right to my seat. If I don't succeed in
securing the neces-ary appropriation I need
never expect to return to Congress again.
“At this saliv the House hurst into a broad
roar of laughter, whereupon Frank H -ooc ~
over on the F.epuW can side, begged that
Mr. McKenzie's request be complied with,
and that unanimous consent be given to
pass the bill. There were no objections,
and within sixty seconds McKenzi - secured
what he waited for months to accomplish.”
"Speaking of clever things,” said Cap .
Hassier, who enjoys the reputation of tieing
one ot the best story tellers in public life,
“you all remember dear old Beau Hickman,
the notorious ‘beat’ of ante-bellum diy J I
shall not soon forget my first meeting with
him. It was in the early days of the war
One day a crowd of soldier boys, myself
among the number, stepped into the rotunda
at Willard’s Hotel. The first tiers in we met
was Beau, faultlessly dressed and serene,
smiling as usual. The boys gathered about
him and began plying him with quest ons.
“Tell us, Beau,” said one of the young
sters, “how you manage to live without
working C
••Ah,” sail Beau, drawing himself np
stiffly, “that's a secret, and I don’t tell my
secret* without being paid for them.”
He paused for a moment, and coolly
counted us over and said, "There are just
sixteen of you. If you’ll chip in a quarter
apiece I’ll tell you.”
In less than thirty seconds sixteen iVeent
pieces were laid in Beau’s hand. He -atis
tied himself that the number was correct,
and then, sliding them deftly into his trou
sers’ pock-t, he faced about, and as lie
stalked majestically awafv he added: “You
wanted to know, gentlemen, how I live
without working. Well, this is one way.
Ta, ta!”
And then as he disappeared in the direc
tion of the bar the boy*, with one accord,
shouted, “Sold, by Jove!”
Col. Willjam 9. Martin, who succeeds
Mr Reagan iu the House, is very -cos tive
over the story in circulation that he blew
out the gas in his room at Willard’s. He
has done nothing but deny the story ever
since its publication. It originated with a
graceless Bohemian here, who deculed,
because of the Colonel’s backwoods ap
pearance, to make him the subject of
ridicule. It is needles* to say that the story
had no foundation in fact. Col. Martin was
accounted one ot the brave t soldiers in
Lee’s army. He is a man of sterling
character, and his Texas coOeagnes ay he
will gam an enviable record for himself
before his first term in Con grew has expired.
