Other Matters of General Interest.
Washington, D. C., Dee. s.—The same
old scenes that have characterized the
beginning of every previous Congress
were faithfully enacted at the opening
of the Fifty-seventh, with only slight
variations in the personnel of the
crowd. Fully 10,000 people packed the
chambers and corridors of the capital
on Monday morning, although it was
well understood that not one-tenth of
that number could squeeze into the
gallaries to view proceedings. There
will be no more crushes, by the way,
in that erstwhile popular-—lounging
place, the galleries of House and Sen
ate. and the colored "man and broth
er," who for many years has pre-emp
ted the warmest and cosiest corners
for long afternoon naps, must hence*
forth take his siesta elsewhere. Un
der the new arrangement of opera
house chair, in lieu of the long, cush
ioned benches, there are exactly forty
seven seats left to the "dear public,”
all the rest being given over to the
senators and representatives for their
friends and families, the diplomats, the
press and others in authority. Admis
sion to those reserved seats can only
be gained by card; and for the average
citizen to acquire one of those coveted
bits of pasteboard, on special days
when he most desires it, will be about
as easy as the feat of the typical camel
concerning the needle's eye. Here, at
headquarters, we are growing more and
more exclusive in our “Republicans’
simplicity." Time was when the visit
ing stranger could walk freely into the
Capitol galleries to view' the menagerie
below and gaze with pride upon the
men whose fame his votes helped
make; could run over to the White
House and shake the President's hand,
and call upon the members of the cabi
net in their respective offices; while
the wife of his bosom was going the
same rounds on the feminine side of
official life. But all those pleasant in
cidents have gone to the melancholy
limbo of things that were, and nowa
days the visitor to the nation’s capi
tal feels himself so coldly regarded,
so hedged about by restrictions and
-.formalities, that he cuts his stay to Hie
shortest limit. Talk about red tape!
rmt Old-fashioned barrier was as
nothing fo the barbed wire fencing,
stone-walls-wlth-glass-atop, that en
viron everything nowadays in which
the public takes an interest.
The "lloral offerings” of this year
front devoted constituents to their leg
islators, with an eye to expected bene
fits—were finer and more numerous
than ever before; but, as usual, in
strict accordance with the Scriptural
Idea, "To him that hath shall be giv
en." Thus the richest, man in Con
gress, “Copper King" Clark of Mon
tana, had the most elaborate showing.
His desk and chair and the aisles round
about were so piled and crowded with
five-foot high baskets of flowers, mam
moth roses, ragged chrysanthemums,
etc., that his pleasant, but by no
means imposing person, was quite lost
behind them. Of course it was down
right irreverent on the part of behold
ers to be reminded of prize “creatures"
at a country fair by the sight of big,
beefy Senator Hanna and full-moon
faced, cherubic Senator Mason, thus
garlanded and bedecked. In the Presi
dent's gallery sat Sister-in-law Cowries
and three of the Roosevelt children,
Mrs. Roosevelt being just now on a
1 l? it to Philadelphia, and Miss Alice
v ith her grandmother in Boston. Beau
tifully dressed ladies occupied all the
ether reserved seats, and their smiles
and happy faces told the natural pride
they felt in husbands and fathers
on the floor below. The one
note of sadness in the gay scene was
contained in the blind chaplain’s
prayer: "With a sense of sorrow at the
tmrpeakable loss of our father, our
' ‘end and brother, our President—by
the hand of an assassin. Oh Lord, let
thy pity and grace come to all Ihe
people of the land by reason of this
calamity. Let the widow, as she sits
■■'lone, have comfort and consolation.
' t int that the senator from New Jer
eey. (Mr Sewell), may have thy bless
ing in his present affliction, and let him,
return to his duties here."
All that five hundred men and a. third
eh a million dollars can do toward
beautifying the interior of a building
has been done in the Capital since Con
gress adjourned last March; and the
result is eminently satisfactory. Re
lumed members who were familiar
"ith the old scenes gaze about In won
der betore venturing to sit down In
t'telr new mahogutiy chairs, behind
’heir shining mahogany desks. The
111 me is neatly engraved on a silver
Plate on the top of his desk, remind
ing one unpleasantly of a coffin-plaite;
and directly underneath It. Is u. glass
opening into the white-tiled air cham
ber beneath the floor. For the first
1 {ine in its history, the House can now
rival (hp s ena ,te in the matter of bath
rooms. The outside world knows very
tittle about the elegance of those bath
rooms. They are In the sub-basement,
" mnslderable distance below ground,
but accessible from the elevator. Por
'•riaine and Imported tiles, silver plat
ing and the handsomest plumbing ob
t-unable, have done all they could to
"take them equal to the bathing places
King Edward himself. As an ex
""'Pie of the general decoration of com
r" 'tee and other rooms, let us take the
Private sanctum of Speaker Hender
son When sitting In It pondering on
tip- vexing Ins and outs of legislation,
will always be looking “on the
''right side," If gold-leaf amounts to
">'thing. The apartment is probably
fifteen by twenty feet In dimensions,
"nd on Its celling alone a little more
Ir >an three thousand dollars has been
"PPlled In gold-leaf. A shimmering
•' re-work of gold forms a canopy over
’he speaker’s head, the rich orange tint
ol ’he yellow metal relieved by the
(t i t o* * lmon hue. dazing at It, one
18 irresistably reminded of the enor-
Uou* surplus In the United States
-reasury awaiting the distributing
hands of Congrese. Speaking of the
hew carpet In the Senate chamber,
" hlch Is the greenest green ever woven,
•enator Frye dußots of Idaho, asked
the sergeant at arms why such a vivid
wg chosen. “To make a lot of
jiatoanitalj Morning ffeto#.
you countrymen feel at home,” was the
laconic reply.
As to the new members, ninety in
the House and twelve In the Senate,
time will not permit their introduction
here; but we shall get around to them,
one by one. by x and by. None attracted
more attention on opening day than
Senator Bailey, of Texas, who has
shifted the scene of his endeavors from
the Lower to the Upper House. More
surprising still, he has forsaken the
big black slouch hat he used to wear
and now appears for the first time in
a modern bell-top, silk chapeau. It
was not so long ago that the tall Tex
an delivered himself most forcibly on
the top-hat question, saying, among
other unkind things, that they were
“fit only for fools to wear." A few
years ago President McKinley gave a
dinner to the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and the only absentee was
Bailey, who declined because he could
not bring himself to the ’’tom-foolery"
of wearing evening clothes. Socially
considered Thanksgiving day was very
quiet in Washington. The President
and his family enjoyed their first holi
day in the 'White House after their
usual cheery, informal fashion, with
a few friends to dinner. The Cabinet
families did about the same thing, ex
actly like people in private life.
Beeclios and flrec-ehes.
From the London News.
George 11., one imagines, would Wave
been rather gratified to know that,
nearly a century and a half after his
death, the breeches which he wore at
the battle of Dettingen would be worth
fifteen guineas to a collector. Thacke
ray reminds us, in the “Four Georges,"
that on public, festivals King George
"always appeared in the hat and coat
he wore on the famous day of Ouden
arde; and the people laughed, but kind
ly. at the odd old garment, for bravery
never goes out of fashion." George 11. s
personal courage endeared him, most
of all his traits, to the English whom
he had to rule. His behavior at Dettin
gen did his dynasty a great deal of
good at an opportunne moment. "In all
public views," wrote Horace Walpole
of the battle, “it is all that could be
wished—the King in the action, and his
son wounded —the Hanoverians behav
ing well—the French beaten; what
obloquy will not all this wipe off? *
* * Well, how happy it is that the
King has had such all opportunity of
distinguishing himself! What a figtirc’
he wfll make!" The King’s behavior
was, indeed, such as all his subjects
might be proud of.. To quote Thackeray
again; “At Dettingen his horse ran
away with him, and with difficulty was
stopped from carrying him into the en
emy’s lines. The King, dismounting
from the fiery quadruped, said brave
ly. ‘Now I know I shall not run away,’
and placed himself at the head of the
foot, drew his sword, brandishing it at
the whole of the French army, and call
ing Out to his own men to come on.
In bad English!, but with the most tg
moiM spirit and pluck.T Xha* HlustsUju#
man'of letters, Fredt*ik .the.. Xlreaf;-
gave a somewhat <vf hie
royal brother, but equally creditable la
his courage: “With his sword drawn,
his body placed in the attitude of a
fencing mister who is about to make
a lunge in carte, he continued to ex
pose himself, without flinching, to the
enemy’s fire.”
The auctioneer, one notices, describ
ed the royal breeches as having “no
intrinsic value.” Possibly that may be
doubted, if there is anything in the old
superstition that this particular arti
cle of a man's wardrobe is able to
transmit the original owner’s valor or
cowardice to his successor?. Familiar
instances of this belief, which has been
somewhat neglected by anthropologists,
are to be found in "Peter Sinmle,’’
where the tyrannical Oapt. Hawkins
chaffs his crew for being afraid tb buy
the trousers of the hero—erroneously
supposed to be drowned—"•One would
think that pulling .on his trousers
would make you as afraid as he was,"
and in “The Wrecker,” where the irre
pressible Pinkerton expresses bis high
opinion of Capt. Nares by saying. “I
would jump at the chance of a man
that had had Nare’s trousers on.”
Fortunately, it is the rarest of things
in our army for an officer to require
any artificial aid to his valor; other
wise he might do worse than purchase
George ll's Dettingen breeches as a
reservoir of Dutch courage. To wear
the armor of Achilles was once consid
ered a great addition to a warrior's
force, and anthropologists .tell us that
in most savage races there still is found
the potion that something of a man's
“virtues.” or manly qualities, hangs
about his scanty garments or his weap
ons, and can be handed on to another
like an infection. It is Just the reverse
feeling to that which made old Tor
quil, in “The Fair Maid of Perth,"
strip off the armor which had been
made by his son’s enemy in the hope
that with it he would cast away the
spell that seemed to be unmanning the
young chief. We still see a survival
of the former, perhaps, in the practice
of a Scottish university In "capping”
Its graduates with an old hat that Is
supposed to have belonged to John
Knox, and may still retain some of his
animal power.
The Dettingen breeches remind one
of art excellent story that Is told of the
Iron Duke and a correspondent who
did not write very ligibly. A well
known landscape gardener, John Clau
dius Loudon, was anxious to see a
famous beechwood that had been
planted at Strathfieldsaye as a memor
ial of its owner’s crowning victory.
Accordingly he wrote to the Duke of
Wellington as follows:
"My Lord Duke—lt would gratify me
exceedingly if you would permit me to
visit Strathfieldsaye at any time con
venient to your grace, and inspect the
Waterloo beeches. Your grace’s faith
ful servant. J. C. Loudon.”
The Duke read the letter twice with
growing surprise. The handwriting
was not very clear, and. In particular,
he metamorphosed the signature into
one more familiar to him—“C. J. Lon
din.” Accordingly he replied at once
to the supposed author of the letter:
"My Dear Biship of London —It will
always give me great pleasure to see
you at Strathfieldsaye. Pray, come
here whenever It suits your conveni
ence, whether I am at home or not.
My servant will receive orders to show
you as many pairs of breeches of mine
us you wish; but why you should wish
to inspect those that I wore at the
battle of Waterloo is quite beyond the
comprehension of—Yours, most truly,
"Wellington."
When Bishop Blomfleld received this
unexpected communication he came to
the not unnatural conclusion that the
great Duke had suddenly lost his rea
son. The Archbishop of Canterbury,
to whom he showed the letter, with
the assurance that h had not written
to the Duke for two years, and had
never asked to see any of his old
clothes, was of the same opinion. For
tunately. Blomfleld applied to the Duke
for an explanation, and the matter waa
cleared up. We hope that Mr. Loudon
saw his beeches .
