Malapropos Criticisms of Representa

sented by the Congressmen’s Wives.
Mrs. Bynum’s Rebuke—An Arizona
Member’s Funny Elunder—A Pretty
Washington Scene.
From the New York Sun.
Washington, March 8. — During the
exciting events in the House in the last two
months there has been an unprecedented
demand upon representatives for card 9 of
admission to the members’ gallery.
The exciting scenes preceding the fights
over the rules attracted many visitors to
the members’ gallery. The wives, daughters
and guests of both democratic and repub
lican representatives were there, and the
political excitement on the floor spread to
the gallery. It was intensified by the pres
ence of many strangers who had cards to
the visitors’ gallery, but had been admitted
to the members’ gallery. They gave vent
to their feelings, unaware that they were
on neutral ground.
The debate below was long and bitter.
One day the discussion lasted over eight
hours. Borne of the families of the repre
sentatives remained in the gallery all this
time, witnessing the scenes of confusion on
the floor. Little lunches were sent to them,
which they shared with their friends. All
enjoyed the excitement, the eloquent out
bursts, and cutting repartee that marked the
contest. Individual pleasure, however, was
nt times marred by remarks from those of
opposite political belief. Strangers used
rheir tongues quite freely. The wives of
prominent members heard comments upon
their husbands that brought tiie flush of
h dignatiou to their c'ueoks. It was cer
tainly not pleasant for the daughter of an
eminent Kentuckian to hear her father
termed “the worst old rebel on the floor.”
A stranger turned to a lady at her side
and said:
“Who’s that funny littleinandown there,
with a bald bead?” pointing to a member.
“That,” replied the lady addressed, with
freezing dignity, “is Judge , my hus
band.”
Her questioner blushed, but made no
anology.
When Mr. Bynum was protesting against
the rulings of Speaker Iteed in terms of
burning eloquence a young man in the gal
lon- audibly expressed his disapprobation.
“Speaker Reed,” said he, “ought to de
scend from his chair and knock that fellow
down.”
At this the wife of a prominent democratic
mem' or of the committeeon appropriations
was aroused. She turned and looked the
censor full in the face. He recognized her,
and tried to soften the effect of his words.
“I am sure,” he said, “that you cannot ap
prove of Bynums action. Your husband
wouldn’t lie guilty of such conduct.”
“I heartily approve of it,” she replied. “I
think Mr. Bynum’s conduct is superb. He
hears himself magnificently, and I am proud
of him. ’
The youug man wilted. A moment af
terward ho rose and left the gallery.
The wife of a western democratic mem
ber tells a remarkable story of her experi
ence during this fight. The excitement in
the galleries ha i reached its hight. Repub
lican ladies were encouraging republican
orators by their applause and hissing dem
ocratic speakers. The representative’s wife
expressed her indignation. A moment af
terward a lady at her side, in passing into
the aisle, accidentally stepped upon her
toes.
“Excuse me,” she said in an affected tone
of voice. “Did I step upon your foot? I beg
your pardon. But you must remember that
you’re a democrat, and you ought to have
your toes trod on.”
The husband of the injured lady not long
afterward took a hand in the debate. Two
young men near by who were evidently not
in sympathy with his sido of the question,
began to sneer at him. One of them re
marked: “If 1 couldn’t make a better
speech tr.au that I’d go out and hang my
self."
Of course they were not aware that the
wife of the orator sat within two feet of
them, and heard all they said.
it is hardly safe for any one in the mem
ber’s gallery to express au opiuion concern
ing tbe personal appearance or intellectual
ability of any representative. Borne of the
congressmen are fat and unwieldy; others
are as thin as bean poles. Some are fault
lessly attired; others pay little attention to
dross. Some are handsome and dignified;
others are quaint and homely. Nearly all
are apt to excite remark, either on account
of personal appearance or what they say.
V stranger in the gallery never knows who
sits near him. If the geutleman who is ad
dressing the speaker does not please him he
is too apt to express his disapprobation.
These expressions are at times unwittingly
made almost in the very ears of tho mem
ber's wife or daughter. Home are so unjust
and so uukind that they bring tears to the
ayes of the loved one who hears them.
In the late congress a delegate was mak
ing a speech urging tho admission of his
territory into the union. His address was
sound and logical and worthy of attention.
His manner of delivery, however, was not
picturesque, nor his voice musical. The
debate had been long and tiresome and the
afternoon was waning. A lady in the gal
lery turned to a friend, saying:
“He’s a fearful bore. I think he’s the
worst speaker I ever heard.”
“Hush,'’ said her companion. "Here’s his
wife and daughter right in front of you.”
The imprudent visitor was so mortified
that she quickly withdrew.
Sometimes the families of the members
ta .o seats in the visitors’ gallery. Here
they are even more likely to have their feel
ings wounded by thoughtless remarks than
in the gallery reserved for the families of
members.
A good story is told of Marcus Aurelius
Saiibti, delegate from Arizona. He had
taken a friend into tho gallery, and was
pointing out the distinguished men upon
the floor below. An Illinois member was
speaking upon a bill from tbe committeeon
military affairs.
“Who is that addressing tbe House?” Mr.
Smith's friend inquired.
“That is ——of Illinois,” Delegate
Smith replied. “He makes me sick. He can
iVk longer and say lens than any other
" i .nber of the House. He has talked away
-“the influence he ever possessed in con-
Mr feet ache!”
1 he delegate suddenly became aware that
8 lady in an adjoining *eat had turned and
"as gazing steadily upon him. Ho recog
iizod her in an instant. She was the wife
o? the representative who was addressing
h o House. The delegate kno v her, but she
did not know him. Turning to his com
panion, ho explained the situation in a
•ai-oer, and said:
“I went you to get me out of this scrape.
’• hen i rise to go, call mo Mr. Kilgore.”
His comrade asaonted. A moment aftcr
wvd Marcus shook bauds aud excused him
self.
’’Goort-by, Mr. Kilgoro,” his friend re
plied; “I am much obliged to you for your
kindue-s, and I approciate your courto>y.”
i ho lady bit her lips and look dagger* at
the supposed Tcxau r.s be jiossed through
tho door. On the next day she mot the
" rzouut-at-arms, whom she know very
well.
‘Mr. Leodorn,” she suid, “if you ever
-ave occasion to arrest Kilgoro, I hope you
•till keep him in limbo till no starves."
Bha recounted the scene m the gallery, to
tiioovid nteßtoniahmeut of Leodoui. Her
husbaud and Kilgoro were wurin friends.
‘ r months tho husband never passed the
t" mplimonts of the day with Buck Kilgore,
"li' so politeness is proverbial. The story,
however, was too good to keep. Marcus
t' and it first to one member and then to
in Hither. Fi 'ally it reached the e.:rs of the
hi ly's hiniUaud. '1 he “entente oordialo" tv
t*sen Kt’gore aud himself was resumed.
Marcus also was taken into the combina
aftfT offering a handsome apology.
Per Laps the greatest annoyance in the
members and visitors'' ga.ieries is the voting
man who knows it all. Mav,.ap his fa-h-r
is a member. He has beeu' in Washington
a few weeks, ha- heard a little and seea less,
and has become filled with an undue sat.se
sense of his own importance. His nust .k s
are ludicrous. At times he points out Judge
Barnes of Georgia as Tom Keed of Main .
He confounds Mr. Adams of Illinois with
Gen. Toni Bayne of Pennsylvania. He mis
mkes Judge Übipmat of Detroit for A-hbc>l
P. Fitch of New York. He savs that tho
Kov. Mr. Owens of India ;a is tho Hon.
CharlesMcComas of Maryland, lie calis
t risp of Georgia Perkins of Kansas, ad
Perkins of Kansas Crisp of Georgia. The
worst mistake he ever made was iu the last
congress. It was when he pointed out to au
inquirer in the gallery Robert Smalls, the
colored contestant of Col. Elli-tt’s seat, as
George West of Saratoga. When George
was told of it he had a h> arty laugh.
It is on an exciting night session that tho
members’ gallery is m its glory. The ladies
are then out in force. Diamonds sparkle
and Dlumed fans wave to and fro. The
bright hues of their hats and dresses give
the gallery a warmth of color truly in
spiriting. While the late fight was at its
hight some of the ladies in the members’
gallery appeared with crocheting and
needlework. It was the tr icoteuse element
of Tom Roed’s parliamentary reign of
terror. At night, however, no one ever
thinks of sowing or knitting. All eyes ire
fastened upon the orators l elow, and all
ears are strained to hear what they are say
ing. If the discussion becomes dull the gal
leries are enlivened with gossip aud smiles,
1 hey thin out as midnight approaches.
In an all-night se-siou last winter there
was a magical transformation at 2 o’clock
in the morning. A bevy of fairies
glided into the members’ gallery arrayed in
soft furs and opera cloaks. As the wraps
were removed au iridescence of silks and
satins was seen. Snowy necks, ivory shoul
ders, and gleaming arms were revealed. A
largo party returning from a fashionable
soiree had taken in the House in the morn
ing hours. It was chaperoned by Mr.
Springer of Illinois. For once the members
kept their eyes uj>on the galleries. The
speaker pro tem. seemed entranced, aud
failed to keep a correct account of the time
allotted for debate. For an hour or more
the fairies remained. Then they gathered
up their rotes and disappeared, their dresses
rustling through the aisle like the wings of
a flock of swans in full flight.

WASHINGTON’S FOUR HUNDRED.
The Question of Precedence is Vexa
tious Forever.
From the New York World.
Washington, March 10. — The relations
between the ladies of the cabinet and those
of tbe Senate circle are always a little
strained, and the war of precedence between
the two sets is as old as the government.
The senators are nearly all self-made men,
and sometimes the ipb is not completed, but
at whatever stage tiie process is arrested the
self-made man is satisfied with his handi
work. When tho senators get mad on the
subject their wives are worse, and men w ho
never used anything save a business card
before they entered this political heaven
lay as much stress on a visiting card as they
do on the clauses of treaty. The ladies of
the Cleveland cabinet tried to reverse the
old etiquette and wait for the senators’
wives to call on them. They sat down aud
waited awhile, and then most of them took
up their card cases and the congressional
directory and made the calls.
The hubbub from that rash attempt has
not died out yet, and senators and their
wives who survived the shock of that rebel
lion like to talk about it now by the hour.
The senate is very tenacious of its privileges,
and at many executive sessions social mat
ters aro discussed informally. Thera was an
executive session of senators and their
wives at a dinner at a brother senator’s
house lately, aud of course the conduct of
the cabinet came up.
“Have all the cabinet ladies called on
you?" asked one white-headed millionaire of
the hostess.
“N-u>, not ail of them.”
“Did you see those who did call?"
“N-no; I was not receiving, and I found
the cards when I came home—or, no, they
were brought up stairs to me.”
“Did you look out of tho window and see
who brought them aud how?” asked the
senator eagerly.
“Why, no.”
“Well, madam, you should,” he said,
pounding the table’aud calling every one’s
attention. “One member of this cabinet
and his wife have dared to send their cards
to us.”
“Per bicycle, too,” said his wife. “I saw a
government bicycle back up and leave an
envelope one morning. The man brought
it up, and there were Secretary So-and-So’s
cards aud his wife’s. ”
Then the whole table was in arms and re
lated similar experiences, and told how
they went down the line at a White House
reception and ignored the erring secretary’s
wife. The company hanged, drew and
quartered the sinners before parting, and
from that episode the name of “bicycle”
has been given as a prefix to a distinguished
cabinet name.
The wife of a recently ennobled,|or rather
elected commoner, has caught the dinner
giving fever now raging, and gathering
herself for a mighty effort, sent out sixteen
invitations. She wanted to have an aggre
gation of greatness, a regular three-ring
and chariot race performance, and she
asked a supreme justice, a cabinet officer,
two senators, a foreign minister, the gen
eral of the army and the admiral of the
navy, with wives or ladies to match.
When she received acceptances from all and
began to think about the seating of the
company at table she found a puzzle
in her hands worse than pigs in
clover or the fifteen blocks. Every
man of them belonged at her right
hand aud might fight for the place if ho
did not get it; certainly their wives would
scratch her eyes out after the men went to
smoke. She took her list and her own dia
grams to the white house and asked tbe
help of the executive clerk, Mr. Pruden.
He studied awhile and g ive it up. “Take
it to the Chinese legation; it’s a puzzle to
beat them," he 6aid, “for in all the Presi
dent’s state dinners of thirty years nothing
like it has ever come up.”
Mr. Adee of the state department, a great
authority on such matters, was implored to
help. Mr. Adee looked, thought and
studied alike. “I will tell you the only
way you can do. You must die or fall sud
denly ill, and postpone this dinner, nothing
else wilisave you!”
‘‘Father Prout’e” Dinner Parties
From the Chicago Newt.
It was quite a custom with Father Prout
to invito a company of jolly good follows
from Cork to dine with him at his homo at
Watorgrass Hill. He would seat this com
pany at a table upon which there was no
cloth, and which was bare of plates, k fives
and forks.
When the guests wore seated upon rude
forms two Justv servants would bustle in,
bearing a pot of boiled potatoes, aud these
st artling hot vegetables would then shoot
along the tabio between tho guests. Then
there was a great rushing and ostentatious
haste in fetching a wooden vessel Ailed with
cold milk for every two guests. Then Prout
would say, gravely:
"Your dinner is before you, gentlemen;
let us say grace.”
Eminent jurists, poets, journalists, and
occlosiostics would via with ono another in
the delicate task of peeling hot potatoes
witn their Ungers, and when the joke
seemed to have gone far enough the nost
would rise aud announce dinner in tbe next
room. Tboro would hq found a repast fit
for a king; nobody knw better than Prout
how to servo a dinner or how to facilitate
digestion with felictiou* anecdote and
merry song.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1890.
POINT OUT OR RETRACT.
Alderman Cann Throws Down the
Gloves to Capt. Guerard.
Editor Morning Newt: Let us for a few
moments try to look at the ground-rent
question in a comparatively cool manner.
I notice in the report of last night's meeting
that our good friend Capt. John M. Gue
rard seems to have become excited on the
subject, and, during his excitement, to have
maae some very serious charges against the
present council. Now, it is very wrong for
such good men as Capt. Guerard and Lieut.
Saussy to get mad. They ought not to do
it, especially in the present instance, or
some uncharitable individual will be mean
enough to And “method in their madness.”
Now, my dear captain and dearer lieuten
ant —I say dearer not from any excess of
affection, but because, in this matter, the
lieutenant’s services will come higher than
tbe captain’s—let us, with a little ice prou
orly applied for cooling purposes, look the
position of the majority of council fairly
in the face.
There is a certain class of property in this
city, the owners of which claim exemption
from city taxation, basing their claim upon
an existing contract. Certain other prop
erty owners resist such claim, and hold that
they (the latter) are made to bear an unfair
proportion of tax ition because of the non
tax ition of the cla-s of property first
alluded to. Now, a resolution is introduced
asking the city attorney’s opinion as to the
legal right of such property to exemption
from taxation. No harm iu that, is there?
His opinion is given to the effect that such
property is not legally exempt, and that his
re-earch can find no contract exempting it.
Now we come to the point. Aldermen
sworn to support the laws of
the state, which include au oath
,to levy taxes upon all property liable
to taxation under the constitution of
Georgia, an opinion from their legal ad
viser tnat certain property is subject to
taxation—no contract to the contrary ex
isting—the question, “Shall we adopt the
opinion of our legal adviser, or shall we
cast such opinions aside and practiciUv say,
You do not kaow what you are talking
about. These property owners say they
are exomp: by contract, and we propose to
accept their statement, constitution and
laws to the contrary notwitnstanding. ”
Under these facts tne majority of tho coun
cil decided to solve whatever doubt might
exist in favor of tiie city, and, if contested,
to let the courts decide the question for all
tune to come. Aud this action is called
"robbery,” “swindling," and several other
sweet-sounding pet names. “Was it not
the duty of c uucil to be governed by its
logal advisor?” is tho question bo put
to every fair-minded man before criticising
the action of that body.
Now, my dear friend the captain, writh
ing in the ago ies of ground rent taxation,
seems to have been for a time attacked with
a delirium, and the use of the words
“swindling,” etc., so pleased his ears that he
launches out in a general damnation of the
course of the present administration. Let
us see his charges: "Extravagance” about
covers them. Bo good a lawyer as Capt.
Guerard would hardly make so serious a
charge without ability to substantiate, and
I now challenge him to point out the items
of unnecessary expense during tho present
administration. Let him particularize or
retract. As aldermen and public servants,
wo must expect our actions to be criticised,
and cannot look tor the unanimous support
of the community on any matter of import
ance, but we do expect, aud, in my humble
judgment, are entitled to honorable criti
cism from honorable men.

MOTHER AT A PRIZE FIGHT.
A Pennsylvania Woman Enters the
Ring to Second Her Son.
From the New York World.
Wilkesbarke, Pa., March B.—Jack
Heffernan is the winner of a desperato prize
fight. He owes the victory to his mother,
who this afternoon established a remark
able precedent in ringside history. She
entered the ring as second to her boy and,
urged by her words, he snatched a success
from almost sure defeat.
Jack Heffernan und John Carter are
local pugilists residing at Mill Creek. They
have been iu training for the event for
many months. Carter weighed iu at 160
pounds and Heffernan at 159 pounds. Pete
Henly looked after Heffernan aud John
Richards acted in the sarno capacity for
Carter. Carter bad the best of the fight
from the start. He was aggressive.
Among the spectators present was Mrs.
Bridget Heffernan, mother of
one of the principals. Carter
objected to the old woman’s pres
ence, but she refused to go to her home.
She said she wauled to see the battle aud
She is a big, burly body of 60 years,
would not budge au inch for any man in
the crowd.
“I want to see what is in that lad of
mine,” she continued. “He ought to be
pretty good blood.”
Failing to get the woman to go homo, tbe
referee ordered tho fight to go on. Before
two rounds had been fought it looked as
though Heffernan was beaten, but his
mother would not allow him to give up.
She kept cheering him on, and her encour
aging words had a buoyant effect on Hef
fernau and a corresponding depression took
hold of Carter’s spirits.
In the seventeenth round Mrs. Heffernan,
who, previous to this, had found much fault
with Henly, her son’s second, determined to
replace him. When she stepped into the
ling she was loudly cheered. Heffernan
took a now lease of life under his mother’s
care. She would shout out at tbe top of
her voice: “Now, belt him. That’s a good
ono, my son! Give him another in the
same spot. That’s a good boy; don’t dis
grace the Heffernans.”
Martin began to weaken now, and in the
twenty-fifth round failed to come to time.
Mrs. Heffernan embraced her boy, who
was covered with blood, and, taking her
handkerchief off her head, gave three
cheers for the Hoffornan family. The purse
was for SIOO.

CHIMNEYS.
The man that sell*? you
lamp-chimneys may, or may
not, know the difference —
some are made of brittle
glass, and some are made of
tough glass. * The tough
ones cost the maker two or
three times as much as the
brittle ones. That accounts
for the breaking of chim
neys.
The making of tough
glass chimneys is o almost
confined to one firm, Mac
beth & Cos., Pittsburgh.
“Pearl-top” is the trade t-—*/
mark.
