MINISTER CHARLES EMORY SMITH
GIVEN A BANQUET.
All But Two of the Eighty Men
Around the Banquet Board Active
Workers in the Field of Journalism.
An Elaborate Menu and Eloquent
Speeches.
Philadelphia, March 31.—Charles
Emory Smith, editor in chief of the Press,
who was recently appointed minister to
Russia, was honored to-night by the mem
bers of newspaperdom in this city who ten
dered him an elaborate farewell banquet at
the Hotel Bellevue. Seated about the table
were about eighty men, the brightest stars
of every daily journal in the city, who
one and aii entered into the spirit of the
occasion in uniting to give the new minister
an appropriate farewell prior to his de
parture for his new past of duty. In cho
decorations of the banqueting room the
Russian and American colors were harmon
ized in appropriate designs.
William V. McKean, the veteran editor
of the Ledger; the Nestor of Philadelphia
journalism, presided, nna at bis right was
the distinguished guest of the evening.,
George W. Childs sat at Mr. Sm ith’s right
and then came John A. Cockeriii. manager
ot the New York World ; L. Clarke Davis,
and Collector of Port Tnomas V. Cooper,
editor and publisher of the Delaware
County American. To the left of the
chairman sat ex-Postmaster General James,
of New York; William M. Singerlv, pro
prietor of the Record ; Calvin Wells, of
Pittsburg; and Col. A. K. McClure, editor
in-chief of the Times.
AX ARTISTIC MENU.
Each of the visitors, who also included
George W. Turner, business manager of the
New York World, E. V. Hermargo and
and John R. Vanwormer and other partici
pants, found at his place, in addition to the
menu, a handsome phototype portrait of
Mr. Smith, prepared especially for the oc
casion. The menus were ornamented with
American and Russian flags, and the in
scription and date were in raised
letters of gold. Among the better
known of the participants were
Erastus Brainard, of the News; James
ElversoD, proprietor of tho Inquirer;
Stephen Farrelly, of the Union News Com
pany; Dr. A. C. Lambdin, Col. J. H.
I.ambe:t, Frank McLaughlin, pronrietor of

North American; Dr. E. Morwitz and
Joseph Morwitz, of the German Democrat ;
Charles AVarburton, of the Teleyraph;
Talcott AVilliams and Stephen N. Winslow,

DISTINCTIVELY A PRESS AFFAIR.
The chairman, in starting the speeches of
the evening, said that all but two of the
participants in tho dinner were members of
the press, anil all were glad to pay a tribute
to the honored guest of the evening. The
diploma to Mr. Smith frotii the goverumeut,
said Mr. McKean, was a tribute to him as a
citizen; “ours is a tribute to him as a neigh
bor, a brother, one of ourselves. The
assemblage,” continued the speaker, "is
one without parallel in any other city
in the country. The speaker declared that
the appointment of Mr. Smith as Russian
minister could not be viewed in tne light of
a promotion,for the director of a journal of
the rani hind class to which the J ress belongs
could not be promoted. Mr. McKean eu
logized Mr. Smith as an accomplished man
of letters, as a scholar, as a publicist, apt
man of affairs and an honorable gentleman.
Mr. McKean concluded with wishing Mr.
Smith on behalf of tho company a pleasant
voyage and assured him of a brotherly
welcome upon his return.
MINISTER smith’s REPLY.
Mr. Smith’s address in reply was fre
quently greeted with applause and in
deed it was a few minutes before
he could commence. He said the oc
casion gave him a peculiar gratification.
He prized nir- dinner as the last one in his
honor prior to his departure, and as one
coming from his own fellow-craft. No offer
ing of good feeling and of welcome, he
said, could be more welcome than such a
manifestation on the part of the members
of his own guild, and for it he had
the profoundest gratitude. He treated
the occasion ns being a personal
tribute only in a limited sense, and said
it had a greater and broader significance. It
was a journalistic recognition of the dignity
and honor of journalism. In the good feel
ing that characterized the profession, he
said, Pniladelpbia furnishes an example to
the journalists of America For this the
profession is largely indebted, he added, to
the sunny and kindly influences which
emanate from the sound head and heart in
him who is recognized as the guiding star in
Philadelphia journalism—George Childs.
While honest differences of opinions are
recognized, he said, “we also recognize a
high standard of courtesy aud the chivalry of
the calling to which'-we all owe allegiance.”
In conclusion, Mr. Smith said ho could have
no higher inspiration and no greater en
couragement than feeling that his fellow
craftsmen are standing behind him and will
have their own share in whatever success lie
ehould meet with.
FRIENDSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP.
William M. Singerly, in the course of
some happy remarks, said that the occasion
afforded an illustration of friendship and
fellowship in the City of Brotherly Love of
not only the owners and editors of the great
journals, but also of the “boys” to whom is
largely due the success of the newspapers,
the men who do the routine
and hustling. Col McClure congratu
lated the profession on such au un
exampled exhibition of harmony, unity
and good feeling on the part of the editors
of the second city of America. He doubted
if the editors of any city in the world could
thus unite to honor any one of their num
ber. He called attention to the fact that
not one of tut four great editors who had
lieen sent abroad to represent the govern
ment had been an applicant for the position,
and Mr. Smith, be added, so far from
being an applicant, had only two
days prior to his own appointment appeared
betore the President to urge the appoint
ment as Russian minister of another distin
guished citizen of Philadelphia. No trust
in this free land, ho said, is equal in re
sponsibility,sound obligations, aud in power
to the high public trust, of the editor of a
fearless, able and upright newspaper.
A NOVELTY TO COL. COCKE HILL.
Col. John A. Cockeriii said that thenews
paper men of New York belonged to the
tribe of Ishmael. The idea of seeing rep
resentatives of all the newspapers in the
city sitting down together at one table
seemed novel to him, and for that roas m.
be declared, he was present. He said he felt
proud that such men as Mr. Smith were se
lected for tile nation’s ministers and he was
glad that Mr. Smith was goiug to Russia,
where they know so little of a free press.
The speaker attributed the kindiy feeling
among Philadelphia newspaper men to the
benign influence of George W. Child'. He
thought a great editor should make a great
diplomat, as he would never do unythmg
without thinking what the papers would
say, which, the speaker declared, was the
best criterion.
Ex-Postmaster General James, Collector
hooper, Joel Cook, Clayton McMichael, and
others made addresses complimentary to
the guest of the evening ami to the as
sembled company. Georue AY. Childs was
caded upon, but declined to speak.

Big Storms in History.
Horn the New York Sun,
In 944 a storm in London destroyed 1,500
bouses. In 1091 another storm in the same
city destroyed 500 houses. In 1096 a storm
on the coast of England destroyet 2JO
coasters, with most of their crews. One of
the greatest storms ever know n was that of
Nov. 20 and 37, 1703, which caused in Lou
don alone a loss of over £3,000,000. It is
estimated that over 8,000 people were lost
in the fl >ods of tho Thames and Severn, and
off thi coast of Holland. During the same
storm twelve English men-of-war, with 1,800
men on board, were lost in sight of their
own shore. The famous E idystone light
house was destroyed, and with it its in

! A BIG PENSION GRAB.
THE SENATE PASSES THE DE
PENDENT BILL.
Its Cost to the Country Estimated at
$478,000,000 to $600,000,000-
Even Senator Frye Alarmed by the
Enormity o! the Grab—Senator
Hawley also Points Out the Evils
of tha Scheme.
Washington, March 31. —The Senate
met this morning (as will be the rule until
otherwise ordered) at 11 o’clock. There
were twenty-five senators present, but a
call having been ordered, the presence of a
quorum was secured and then the journal
of {-Saturday was read and approved. Mr.
Reagan addressed tho Senate on the bill for
the issue of treasury notes on deposits of
silver bullion.
At the conclusion of Mr. Reagan’s speech
the dependent pension bill was taken up,
the first question being on Mr. Plumb’s
amendment removing the limitation as to
arrears of pensions, making pensions on ac
count ot wounds or injuries or disease com
mence from the death or discharge of the
soldier. Mr. Berry inquired of Mr. Plumb
whether anv estimates had been made of
the cost of removing the limitation of
arrears of pensions.
Air. Plumb replied that the commissioner
of pensions had stated some we ks since
thar, the cost would be about $478,000,000,
and that the chairman of the House com
mittee on pensions had estimated it at
§509,000,000 It would be somewhere about
these figures.
OPPOSITION MANIFESTED.
In tho debate which followed considera
ble opposition was shown on both sides to
disposing of the question involved in Mr.
Plumb’s amendment as an attachment to
an appropriation bill.
Mr. Blair held that it should be embodied
in an iudepende it measure. Other senators
argued that there was no reliable data upon
which a fair estimate of its cost could be
made.
Messrs. Cockrell and Blair placed the fig
ure at $690,000,000.
Mr. Frye regreted that the amendment
was before the Senate, not that it placed
him in a position where he hail to vote for
it or against it, but because he should re
gard its adoption as a terrible menace to
the soldiers of the country. He had holl
for a long while (and he had uudertaken to
show in addresses to bodies of soldiers in his
own stat ) t int there was a pace too rapid
altogether for thoir welfare and for their
good.
DANGER OF OVERLEAPING.
Mr. Frye said there was danger of over
leaping in the matter of pension". When
President Cleveland commenced to veto
pension bills the Democratic party ra iliel
what he did, aud not only the Democratic
party, but many of the business men in the
Republican party, too. Ha Slid to the sen
ators who were pressing the amendment
that they were imperiling the truest inter
ests of the soldiers, and were creating
prejudices against pensions. If the
amendment were a loptod, and the
bill enacted into a law, soldiers
who looked forward to the service pension
bill would look in vain. He dared not vote
for a proposition that, he belie veil would be
absolutely destructive to the be3t interests
of the soldiers and he should be compelled
to vote "no” on the amendment.
hawlky of the same opinion.
Mr. Hawley expressed his personal obli
gation to Mr. Frye for telling the serious
truth in the matter. He did no believe that
the American soldiers asked for tho amend
ment. Ho would stake his political standing
on the assertion that out of any
500 old soldiers there would be found a ma
jority agaiust it. Headlong extravagance
would bring men into power who would
stint and squeeze and deny the soldier.
There was a limit in the matter of pension
legislation. He appealed to every old
s ldier to ba reasonable and just. Tho
American nation had certainly not been
stingy. The pension expenditures for the
next year would amount to nearly
§130,000,000, and no nation in
tho world had ever appropriated
for its soldiers a sum that could be com
pared to that. He begged the old soldiers
to remember that the objecti in to getting
into another war would be not the cost of
currying it on, but the consequences of it,
and he also asked them to remember that
those enormous sums of money came out of
the pockets very largely of people as poor
as themselves.
an anecdote of grant.
He told au anecdote of Gen. Grant on tho
occasion of his last visit to the capitol.
With his characteristic modesty ho
kept out of the chamber anil sat
in one of the cloak rooms
where almost every senator visited him.
He sat with the accustomed cigar and talked
freely on every question introduced. He
said that on his way to the capitol ii clergy
man came to him, asking him to sign a me
morial asking that every man who had ever
been a pri-i mer of war should be pensioned.
HeJ told the clergyman that ha ought to b >
iu better business; that there were all kinds
of prisoners, some who lot themselves be
caught easily, some who had the stomach
ache or a sore toe when a bntt'o was in the
air, and who were caught by a squad of
confederate cavalry, and some who were
caught ahead of the skirmish line. Some of
them had a good rest and were ail the bet
ter for being prisoners. “1 will teli you,”
said Gen. Grant, “ what I would do if 1
were Fresident. I would sign any reason
able bill to relieve the distress of an honest
old soldier, or of his widow or children,
but I would not vote one dollar to able
bodied men.”
HAWLEY MADE IT HIS PLATFORM.
“That last expression,” said Mr. Hawley,
“sank into my memory. 1 live up to taat.
That is my platform. Ido not believe thut
my state asks to add §500,000,000 to the
debt of the republic. The theory of a
pension is that it takes care of a man who
is tc-dav a sufferer by reason of his
service iu the army, but not that
it shall go back ten or fifteen
or twenty years (when a man did not
apply for a pension)Jaud pay him §5,000,
or $6,000, or $19,000. If we nre going to
spend §500,000,000 it would be better to
divide it pro rata und not throw it away at
random. Aim as sharply as you can at
actual necessities, and take cure of the old
soldiers; but do not bo stampeded bv claims
agents. Do exactly what you think is gen
erous and right, and tha country will sus
tain you in it,”

FIDGETY WOMEN.
A Few of the Reasons Why They Are
Fidgety.
Brooklyn, N. Y., March 29.—There are
slight concussions and violent concussions.
As 1 looked on at a medical examination a
few days ago, for the purpose of getting
some valuable material for my readers, I
was amazed at the summing up of the physi
cian. Tha patient had been an acute suf
ferer from nervous and sick headaches and
backache. She had hail many doctors, both
here aud abroad, and had faithfully tried
their prescriptions. The last one had told
her to walk four miles a day, to drink no
coffee and to live mostly on soups.
The professional gentleman who was
looking into tile case on the occasion spokon
of insisted among other things upon tho
patient’s w-alking the length of the drawing
room several times. Ills verdict was that
the headaches aud backaches were
partly induced by concussion of
the spinal vertebrae, and this was caused
by throwing the weight of a heavy
bod}' upo i th: heels at every step the poor
creature bad takeu since she began to walk.
Now. this was a revelation to me, even, for
although I had long been aware that the
correct fashion in standing was upon the
halls of the feet and that iu walking the
heels should be the last to strike the
ground, I did aiot suppose that sach tragic
cdbsequences c uld result from an impropsr
gait, il'ne doctor then gave me the patient’s
boot to compare with her foot. “This
lady’s foot is not exceptional,” he said as he
measured the sole of the bare foot with that
of tho shoe. "Take most any foot and you
will find that it is warped nt tho sides, in
other words, bent toward the sole, making
long wrinkles in the bottom of the foot.
Tuis shoe is not too small for the foot in its
presont unnatural condition, but it is fully
two sizes too small for the foot as it
ought to be. There are some fools
among men,” the physician continued, "who
cripple their feet in this fashion, but for tho
most part the sole of a man’s shoe is os
broa ias thqsole_of his foot. I believe there
are at least teu nervous, fidgety women to
one fidgety man, and the reason for this
can bo foul'd largely in tbe difference in
dressing the foot. The pressure on a nerve
in the little toe is sufficient to induce a
severe headache, or a pain iu some other
part of the body. No v this lady’s trouble
has come from her feet almost entirely.
You see she lias doctored for tho liver and
for maladies peculiar to her sex, aud for
chronic neuYalgia, and even for heart
failure, and all the time she has been injur
ing her spine by awkwardly walking several
miles a day in shoos ever so much too small
for her.”
Now this woman shed bitter tears, and I
did not wonder at it, though the doctor was
most eneguraging in his prophecies for the
future. He forbade her fr m walking iu
shoes for a whole month. She must travel
about iu woolen' slippers without solos, so as
to flatten her feet. 1 wonder how many of
my readers would be willing to obey that
order. At the expiration of this time s e
is to have a pair of b tots made which w ill
bo sure to allow her feet to spread out prop
erly upon the soles. H'his is common sense,
and 1 was genuinely glad to see one of our
popular doctors taking hold of the mat’er
in such a practical and helpful way. Not
very long ago a physician would havo been
peremptorily di-cliarged had he hinted at
tight shoes or snug corsets. For this priv
ilege our physicians may thank the wide
awake, Intel ligeut and determined women,
who have labored unceasingly to educate
their sisters in these physiological matters.
I have received many communications
asking if there is any way of overcoming
tho breath les in. ss produced by g :iug up
stairs. There is no way if one wears tight
clothing, or heavy skirts dragging upon tho
hips, with perhaps high-heeled shoes two or
three szos to small. Women can be said to
go uj stairs generally hoad first That is,
toeir heads are much in advance of their
bodies. The chest is drawn In, tbe shoulders
raised, thus throwing every mortal organ
out ot place. To aid to this are the elebo
rate petticoats which go wabbling about
and are always stepped on, unless one givis
one’s mind and one’s hands wholly to the
matter. “Correct going upstairs,” as Mi's
Mabel Jetiwss remarked in a late lecture on
“The Gospel of Grace,” “is lifting the
weight entirely with the chest, with
each muscle " vitaliz'd and active,
hearing its own load. Breathlessness is
partly fatigue and more became of the
cramped condition of the lungs, pernaps
increased by tight clothing.” Before going
up a flight of stairs, lift the chest, throw
back the head, and inflate the hugs. Then
go slowly. You may weigh 3)0 pounds,
hut if you have on a divided skirt and
combination undergarments, and a dress
skirt not too long that is draped on a
princess foundation, you can soon learn to
go up stairs without the slightest fatigue.
But if you stick your head out and draw
yourches: in, and wear swaddling clothes,
you will puff, and blow, and suffer.
The most fashionable dresses this spring
are of light weight. Tbi- is according t >
true hygienic principles. India silks in all
c dors and patterns figure conspicuously
for b >th home and street dress. The imita
tion Indias are very pretty, very cheap and
exceedingly popular. As these goods weigh
next to nothing they can be elaborately aud
artistically draped without danger. Re
member that the prettieit costumes
have a gown-form foundation. This does
away with bands about the wain,
and makes it possible lor every
woman to have as graceful a carriage as
nature intended. Waists and sleeves are
very full, and made in every conceivable
and artistic fashion. With a proper gown
form pattern a woman can make her own
dresses, if she wishes (o economize, or does
not care to wai: for her dressmaker. Fash
ion does not decree one style alone. Any
thing that is tasteful is stylish at the pres
ent time. Arbitrary methods are tilings of
the past, and let us hope that the same can
be said before 1 >ng of nigh-heeled, too
small sir es, aud tight corsets, aid heavy
petticoats. Eleanor Kirk. '

TILLMAN MAY CRY QUITS.
Ex-Mayor Courtenay Mentioned as Ela
Successor In the Race.
Charleston, & C., March 31.—A rumor
ran through the city to-night that there
might be gome chango in the Tillman tac
tics. The rumor is to the effsct that Capt.
Tillman may withdraw from the race for
governor in certain contingencies, and that
tne executive committee of the Shell con
vention will substitute ex-May nr \V. A.
Courtenay to lead the ticket. It is said that
if the opposition to Capt. Tillman which has
been developed continues to increase be will
be willing to withdraw, in which event
some other name will be selected bv the ex
ecutive committee. It is difficult to
say what importance, if any, can be
attached to the rumor, but it is said to come
from a newspaper man connected with a
journal that supports the farmers’ move
ment. Capt. Courtenay is in Alabama and
doubtless knows nothing of the rumor.
There is no doubt that bo could command a
large vote in the low country, if be was
nominated by the regular democratic con
vention.
