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 Of it alt. I 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. “How Can She Ever Lore Him?” Is what you often hear said when the pro spective grooin la the victim of catarrh. ‘•How can she bear s*ch a breath?" “How resclve to link her destiny with that t one with a disease, that unless arreste 1, will end in consumption, or perhaps In insanity f’ Let the husband that is, or is to be, get Dr. ringed Catarrh Remedy, and cure himself before it. is too late.
