OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM WASHINGTON (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Nov. 28, 1901. “Has President Roosevelt been playing an extremely clever game of politics?’’ That is the question which in Washington has taken precedence of all others and beside which economic problems, commit tee appointments and local appro priation “trades” pale into insigni ficance. No one ever suspected such a thing until congressmen be gan to arrive for the session and then general discussion of local conditions revealed such an extra ordinary concatenation of coinci dences(?) that it simultaneously j dawned upon a number of people : that the young gentleman in the; white house had been perfecting I an organization preparatory to tlie 1904 convention with a degree of political skill which no one ever suspected that he possessed. “The discovery,” it is called,was discussed 111 every hotel lobby in Washington last evening. “I never believed him capable of it,” said a republican senator. “The charming naivette with which he has made appointments and turned down candidates has mislead us all ” said another, “In a way that was ‘childlike and bland’ be has an nounced that he would appoint only good men to office and all the time he has been quietly manipu lating his little bowie knife under the fifth rib of the Hon. Marcus A. Hanna,” laughingly remarked a western representative. It was most entertaining to hear the opin ions that were expressed by vari ous members of the president’s party. The facts on which “the discov ery” is based are as follows: it is held that at his recent visit to the white house, Senator Quay was led to pledge himself to the sup port of the president and that is what lias produced Gov. Stone’s disaffection, because the governor believed that Mr, Roosevelt would prove so erratic a politician as to entirely disrupt the organization of his party and so render his nomin ation lor a second term impossible. As I Have already pointed out in these letters, Mr. Roosevelt has secured pledges from Gov. Odell of New York and Mayor-elect Low of Greater New York. It is true he has lost all chance of support from Senator Platt but it is doubt ful if he ever possessed any. With the aid of Senator McLau ran, who, it is believed, will remain a democrat until the time ap proaches for the presidential con vention when he will declare him self a “Roosevelt man,” irrespect ive of party, the president has practically reorganized the repub lican machines in North and South Carolina and the former members, who were under obligations to Sen ator Hanna, are now out in the ■cold. The reorganization process has just begun in Alabama but no opportunity willbelost toperfectit. The same is true of Texas where Mr. Roosevelt has deposed Nation al Committeeman Hawley. In Missouri, Mr. Roosevelt is deferring his decision in the Kereus- Kitehcock controversy but it is al leged that whichever faction comes out squarely with a pledge of sup port in the next presidential con vention will be declared the winner. In Illinois he has secured pledges from a large number of the leading republicans and probably of the en tire republican machine, although it has not been his policy to show his hand but to move quietly and deliberately but with certain aim so that before he has been in the white house he may feel relieved from all uneasiness because of the existence of the Hanna machine which twice nominated Mr. McKin ley and w„s scheduled to nominate Mr. Marcus Hanna in 1904. I have it on excellent authority that the paesident, hopes to score a masterstroke by the recommenda tion in regard to reciprocity with Cuba in his forthcoming message. He will. I an told, attempt to steer between the Scylla of the high protectionists and the Charibdis ot the Oxnard faction and at the saint time gain the golden apple ot sugar trust favor by recommend ing a material concession in the tariff on raw Cuban sugar. It is worthy o’f note in this ton ne tion that the report of secretary of war, Root, who, by the way. stands very close to the president, rec mimends a “reasonable reduct ion in our duties on sugar” import ed from Cuba, saying that “Our present duty to Cuba can be per formed by the making of .such a reciprocal tariff arrangement with her as President McKinley urged,” etc. In this connection some figures on our sugar consumption and on republican methods of raising a revenue may prove interesting.

The democratic members of the house of representatives will hold their caucus on Saturday morning at eleven o’clock. The only busi ness that will come before the caucus will be the selection of a few members of committees and the few employes whose nomina tion is conceded to the minority. The republican members of the house of representatives will hold their caucus on Saturday after noon and it is probable that an evening session will also be held. There will beconsiderable business to be disposed of, the election of officers, over which there will be no contest, and the selection of employees, but no matters of policy will be taken up and the major portion of the work of reorganiza tion will devolve upon Speaker Henderson, wno will, of course, be re-elected. I understand that when congress convenes on Monday, Senator Hanna will formally notify the senate and Representative Gros venor the house of the death of ex-president McKinley, that both bodies will decide upon a day for the delivery of eulogies and ad journ. This will mean that the Pres idents message will not be read until Tuesday. Women Who Wear Well. It is astonishing how great a change a few years of married life will make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maid en. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the svsten through the change which comes with marriage. Many neglect to deal with the un pleasant drains which are often consequent on marriage and moth erhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of its fairness. As surely as the' general health suffers when there is de rangement ot the health of the del icate womanly organs, so surely when these organs are established in health the face and form'at once witness to the fact in renewed comeliness Half a million women and more have found health and happiness in the use of Dr. Pierce’s P'a\orite Prescription.
