The most elegant of Secretary and Mrs. Whitney's justly notable receptions wasthe one given to President and Mrs. Cleveland, ind was the event of the week. A large . . ®ound table was arranged to accommodate ""^venty-six guests. Magna Charta roses • ' ' •ere the principal flowers in the decoration ef the apartments, which was something in Beauty beyond description. Amone the aoted guests wore Governor Hill, of lew York, also W. S.

New-Yorkers say the whole business was arranged by Whitney, the main purpose •eingtoshow that no iil-foeling exists be­ tween Cleveland and Hill, and that Empire State Democrats are united on Hill for President In 1893. The germ an given by John McLean, ed­ itor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who resides {ore, was also another significant affair, in hat it marked Mr. Blaine's first entrance this season into fashionable society. McLean has bc.en very unpopular with the present administration, and. if the truth must be told, he has boon snubbed bysocial leaders. His recent reception, however, was con­ spicuous by the presence of Bayard, who left a rtipuption at hie own house to spend an hour with Blaine's friend, Whitney, En- dicott. and others.

"" Harrison baa rented the Spencer cottage -*t Peer Park, within a stone's throw of IWher* President and Mrs. Cleveland passed Early in the morning of May 23, 1888, Annie Tessie Bedmond mysteriously dis­ appeared from her home in Chicago. Her father is a blacksmith, and fondly loves his beautiful 6-year-old daughter. Eveiy effoit was pnt forth to gain tidings of the missing child; but, despite the exertions of parents, friends and police, her where­ abouts were shrouded in mystery. Every possible clew was carefully investigated, and Mr. Bedmond made several long trips to other cities on information that chil­ dren had been found answering the de­ scription, but every trip and every hope BMt with disappointment. Mr. Bedmond s 7̂ / discussion. He was a bit of a lawyer, and during his expoiienco as a school teachor in Illinois he successfully defended a friendless fellow who was under tiial for murder. While he was blacksmithing, Nichol in­ vented a plow, and was advised by dealers in agricultural implements to take it to the J. I. Case factory at Kaclne. Wis., where it was thought he could find a purchaser. This was in 1876. He landed at ltacine one afternoon, and when he went up to the hotel learned that Gen. Samuel F. Gary was to make greenback speech in the town hall that evening. Of course Nichol went to hear him. and during the progress of the speech asked Cary some questions. The speaker was very much embarrassed by the perplex­ ing inquiries put to him by the stranger, and finally declined to answer any more of them. Mr. Nichol. an entire stranger to everybody in the room, then arose and asked permission to reply to Cary at the conclusion of the latter's remarks, but was prevented from doing so. There was great excitement in the town, and Nichol found himself u hero. The Re­ publicans hired the li 1 for the next even­ ing. and Nichol made a speech iu which he demolished Cary in such a manner as to commend himself to the Wisconsin Repub­ lican Committee, by which he was employed to follow Cary about the State. When Cary finished his campaign in Wisconsin, Nichol followed him into Ohio, and then to Maine, and then all over tho United States, mak­ ing the acquaintance of Sherman, Garfield, Blaine, Coakling. Arthur, and other public men. ana gaining for himself a phenomenal reputation. Tho winter following the campaign of 1876 Nichol was employed to organize what Was known as "The Honest Money League." in opposition to the inflation movement. John Sherman was ihe President and he was the Secretary, and he traveled from one end of the United States to the other lecturing on hard money and organizing branchos of the league in all the cities and larger towns. He was occupied at this work until the summer of 1880, when he went to Washing- top to take charge of the literary bureau organized to promote Sherman's Presiden­ tial prospects. He went to Chicago as a confidential agent of Sherman, and when Garfield was nominated returned with him to Menor, where ho became his private secre­ tary and served as such through the cam­ paign of 18:#). When Garfield was elected he tendered Nichol the position of Private Secretary at the White House, but Nichol dhcllnea it. and was made Commissioner! of Indian Affairs, in which position he served just two days. On the evening of the second day he went to the Whito House with his resignation in his hand, and told the President that he could not stand it any longer; that he had not been able to eat or sleep, and would go crazy before the end of the week unless he was relieved from duty. Nichol's health being considerably broken down, Garfield had him appointed a special agent of one of the departments, and gave him a roving commission to travel through­ out the West. Although he was a great theorist in finauce he did not have the faculty of put­ ting his ideas into practice, and those who wero associated with him in business soon discovered it to their sorrow. In the first piaco. it was his habit, as he used to say. to keep his books in his head. He never made a record of any of his financial transactions, but depended entirely upon his memory. His carelessness was pro­ verbial. and a friend who knew him said that if you would lock Nichol up in a room alone with $1,000 in $1 bills he would lose half of them before he got out. While he was at the Grand Pacific Hotel one day he had $50,000 worth of bonds stolen from him. bonds issued by a Denver street railroad, which he was carrying to bo sold in the East, and he did not even miss them until they had been found among the plunder of thief who had been arrested by the police. man who, it was said, could cure stutter­ ing, and consnlted him. Being informed that the impediment oould be removed, he was so elated that he made known the fact to all his friends, one of whom was Sam Buckmaster, who used to run the old Alton Penitentiary. "Don't do it," was Buckmaster's advice. "W-'wh-why?" ejaculated Merritt, in astonishment. "Be­ cause your stuttering is all there to yon. Don't do it," rejoined Buckmaster. >,.? PUBLIC CH Alii TIBS. --The report Of the State Commission­ ers of Public Charities, while admitting that the charitable institutions of the State absorb more than half of the gen­ eral revenue, argues that the people of the State would gain nothing by the refusal of the General Assembly to make proper Appropriations for the support of the de­ pendent classes; that the numbers of the insane, the feeble-minded, the blind, and the deaf are not increased by appropria­ tions, and that their individual support would be more expensive and not so thor­ ough as when they were cared for by the State. This subject is dwelt on at much length, because of the recent agitatiou, on the stnmp and through the press, of the enormous cost of caring for the State's wards. The report undertakes to show that the increasing cost of these institu­ tions is not due to any diversion from a proper use of the funds appro­ priated for their support, to any extravagance in their management, to any disposition on the part of the , Legislature needlessly to multiply institu- j tions, nor to the crowding Into them of I persons not legally entitled to their bene- ' fits.

Of course this "brought down the house," and when the roars of laughter subsided, he added: "There has been a Dan Dougherty hung in Pennsylvania ever since I can remember."

At night the slightest noise would arouse him from his sleep. He would start and would imagine that his little Annie was knocking at the door. He took to drink and grew morose and distrustful of his friends. Hs even began to abase his wife and children. Bedmond was ar­ rested on December 22d, and taken into court. He was violent, and fought like a wild beast; He was found insane and sent j to Kankakee. In the search for his child / he had expended his savings, some f4,000, and lost his reason. His wife and other children were left in merger circum­ stances. Annie Bedmond was returned to her home Friday, Eeb. 8, and the pages of fiction tell no stranger stoiy than that surrounding the fate of this little girl. She was fonnd in the Home for the Friendless, where she had been placed by a woman named Gurley, and was discov­ ered by a foimer acquaintance, who vis­ ited that institution with the view of adopting a little girl. The reunion of mother and daughter can better be imag­ ined and told. The father was sent for, and on being brought to his child was overcome with joy, and for the time being his Reason was restored, bnt the excite­ ment was too severe a strain on his nerves, and again his mind became clouded. Through the advice of physicians he was returned to the asylum, where it is hoped his reason will soon be entirely restored. The mother of this little child, soon after her restoration, received a tempting offer from a museum--$1,000 for one week--for the appearance of her little daughter. This offer was declined, whereupon a fnnd was started for the family's benefit, which at this writing aggregates several hundred dollars. The alleged abductors of Annie Bedmond were arrested, and the develop­ ments against the woman Gurley, identi­ fied by Annie, are, to say the least, very damaging. It is not improbable that through this investigation other abduc­ tions will be cleared up, the gnilty brought to justice, and this crime receive a s evere check. --Mrs. Lucinda T. Kenny, one of the old residents of Chicago, died at her resi­ dence in that city. She was born in Ire­ land seventy-four years ago, and had been a resident of Chicago since 1843. Her husband, who died sixteen years ago, was the proprietor of the old Four-Mile Tav­ ern, at the present entrance to Garfield Park. At that time the whole section was open prairie, and it was a case of the city growing out to the Kenny estate. The husband «as a Justice of the Peace in Cicero for mftny years before his death.

Dr. Kitby Kiitoe was born and educated in England, and emigrated in 1853, settling in Galena. He returned to England in 1882, nnd settled at Oxford, where he had a large practice up to the time of his denth. He was well known to older practitioners of thi« State nnd Wis­ consin, and w as author of several medical works which were regarded as standard.

A. Kenyon, a prominent citizen of Cabeiy, was burned to death by the explosion of a kerosene lamp. The young lady was about 17 years old and one of the most popular in the vicinity of her popnlatibn of the State, and another tho fact that statistical research shows that insanity is increasing in the United States out of propo.tion to the growth of the population. The demand fo¥ relief af­ forded by pnblio institutions is found to be everywhere a growing, demand, and it is shown that, although tho State has manifested a liberal dispos it ion to meet this demand, it has not yet made commensu­ rate provision, and the opin:on is ex pressed that it is not likely to do so in the near future. The number of persons ad- i judged to be insane in the county courts of the State each yetr is about 1,500. The chronio insane do not recover, they do not die, and there is a perpetual ad­ dition to the mass of incurable lunatics. An increase of 500 beds at each sess'on would not more than keep pace with the demand for hospital accommodations for the insane. The repoit speaks parties larly of the insane because the claims of that class seem to be regarded by the public as paramount to that of any other class of unfortunates. It suggest* that the duties of the State toward abandoned and neglected children has received the smallest possible amount of attention from the Legislature. Reference is also made to the fact that the Federal Govern­ ment has failed to make necessary pro visions for dependent veteran soldiers in national soldiers' homes, leaving almost their entire support with the State. In reviewing the work of the Board^luring its twenty years of existence, it W ac­ knowledged that much has been left un­ done, but such progress has been realized; that the people of the State may con gratulate themselves on the work. In 1875 thero were 1,975 charity wards in nine institutions, at a per capita expense of: $250.02, while in 1888 the per capita ex­ pense for 5,930 patients in eleven institu- tutions decreased to $181.81. It is be­ lieved that the State derives a higher grade of service in this line at lower ex­ penditure than any other State in the COUNTING OF THE VOTE. ILLINOIS L AW-MAKERS.

According to the estimates of the State Board, the total ordinary expenses of the eleven institutions will be $1,097,000 per annum for 1889 and 1890, estimated upon the anticipated increase of the number of inmates from the average of 18^8, which was 5,930, to 6,145. The estimated per-capita expense is $178.50. The receipts from other sources than the State Treasury are estimated at $74,000 a year, and the anticipated application of $63,000 from the National Treasury for the Soldiers' Home will not make it neces­ sary for the Legislature to appropriate the full (• mount. Af er deducting one-half of the various surpluses the Board recom­ mends the allowance of $058,003 for the first year, "making $1,981,030 for the two years, which is $14,500 less than the ap­ propriations of two years ago. Th^n the institutions asked for special appropria­ tions exceeding $1,500,000, and the Legis­ lature granted only $366,522. Now they want special appropriations aggregating $757,295.

The trustees of the Chicago Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary request an appropriation of $30,000 for additional buildings, etc., but no proposition to en­ large the institute on its present site will receive indorsement. Nor do they look with favor on the request for $40,000 to enlarge the asylum for feeble-minded children. They recommend $20,000. The demand for additional facilities for idiots, especially females, is almost irresistible. The number of idiots in the State equals the number of insane, but provision made for the latter is ten times greater than for the former. . .9111,370 1S8.315 51.207 43,000 111,4 0 39.00 ) 51,500 65.500 37,352 110,000 r home. r "TOMMY," said < tho teacher, firmly, "yonr writing is wretched; it is nothing but a scrawl."

It was known that the proceed inn's of the counting of the electoral vote were to be of the most .ormal character. There wet o to be no protests. None ot the sensational scenes which have characterized this cere­ mony at some periods in our history were to be witness.d. There was no ques­ tion as to th« result. It was one ot the eoWestdaysot the season, the thermome- r indicating a little below 20 degrees, which is cold weather in Washington. The jo nt convention met at 1 p. m., and tho two houses assembled at noon, yet aa earlv ;.s 10 o'clock the conveyances leading to the Capitol wt-re crowded, and the corri­ dors about tho House, where the ceremony was to be l.eld, wero jammed with people crushing to find seats In tne gallery, which was already filled. The House, as soems to bo the custom on such occasions, had caused a large number of seats iu the gen­ eral galleries to be reserved for members, nnd nad issued tickets far in excess oE tho capacity of these galleries. Tho sioor of tho House was arranged in tho usual manner. Extra chairs were placed in all the vacant spots for the Sen­ ate and for such other distinguished per­ sons as Were to be admitted. Tho House strained its rules and adopted a resolution to admit to such scanty vacant places as thero were on the floor the families of members. Those who were ehivalric gave up their seats to ladies, and tho electoral count proceeded as in a joint convention of tho people. The galleries at the House end were filled early, and in the dim. uncertain i:>iht which Is strained down into tho vast Houso through the stained glass in the coiling, there seemed to be all about that expanse one great black fringe lighted up at inter­ vals by human faces. The monotonous as­ pect was not relieved by the bright colors of the ladies' dresses, for there seemed to bo a singular somberness of color, even in the diplomatic gallery. Thatgall jry at first was empty, but long before the proceedings had begun a few diplomats, nnd a great many persons who were not diplomats, obtained access through the swinging doors. Among those present were the Austrian Minister, young Mr. Edwurds, sccond Secretary of the English legation, tho German Minister, and one or two minor diplomats unknown to fame. The eloctoral count was conducted not only under different circumstances from any which have proceded it, but it was the first to be held In accordance with tho pro­ visions of the now law, which bears date only on February 3 of this year. The only outward indication that the new law had gone into effect was the fact that the two houses resolvod themselves Into a joint convention without the customajr notice from the Houso to the Senate that the lower branch was prepared to meet the Senate in joint convention. In the Senate the presiding officcr dis­ played unusual expedition in disDOsing of the morning business, and at five minutes beforo 1 o'clock announced that the timo had arrived for the execution of the order of tho Senate. Then the Senate, preceded by its Sorgeant-at-Arms. Mr. Cassidy, and the venerable Doorkeeper, Bassett. formed In line and marched through the long corri­ dors and beneath tho dome to tho House. Mr. Bassett bore In either hand a large, *rown covered box. which contained the certificates of the electoral col­ leges. which were the official record of the election of Harrison and Morton. These certificates had been care fully guarded by the presiding officer of the Senate since thoy were received in a private part of tho build­ ing in a great safe especially prepared for the purnosc, and tho safe itself had been under special guard since tho day ot the ar­ rival of the first certificate. Arm in arm with Senator Wilson, of Iowa* walked ox-Senator Ferry, of Michigan. The procession from the Senate arrived iu advance of the appointed hour. Tho vener­ able Senator Morrill, wearing a heavy ovor- ooat, for the day was sharp; Hoar and Dawes, of Massachusetts, and John Sher­ man made a notable grouo on one of the1 front sofas: Payne and Coke. Gibson and Blair occupied the noxt sofa; Stanford and Stewart, the two noted Representatives from the Pacific coast, wero next. Eustis sat by the side of Chace. the Quaker Senator from lthode Island, the only member of tho Senate now who always Wears a "swallow-tail" coat. Paddock, Ferry, of Michigan, and William E. Chand­ ler sat together. Daniel, the "Columbian orator," of Virginia, and Pase'o, of Florida,' who looks like a Spaniard, wore next, sit­ ting bv the side off "Sunset" Cox. Mitchell and Oullom wero next. Butler, of South' Carolina, sat by Sabin. Palmer, of Michigan, occupied a chair near Randall. McPhersou sat close to Saulsbury. On one of the back rows In the space al­ lotted to the Sonato wore two of the mosfi conspicuous men in that body--Evarts and Edmunds. Ransom and Breckinridge came in late. Tho detailed certificates of oach State were waived, and only the results read. There wero few incidents of note. In announcing the result Mr. Ingalls said: "This announcement of the state of thei vote by the President of the Senate is by law a sufficient declaration that Bonjamia' Harrison, of the State of Indiana, is elected President of the United Stutes. and that) Levi P. Morton, of the State of New York, is elected Yioe President of the United States, eaoh for the term beginning March 4. 1889." It will be remembered that in 1885 Mr. Edmunds, upon the completion of the oount. said that his declaration of the vote was a mere statement of what appeared upon the' face of the papers, and that it had no legal effect whatever. This attracted attention, as such a statement was without precedent. Tho announcement was intended to call at­ tention to the fact that there was no law which gave to the joint convention tho au­ thority to declare who was elected Presi­ dent: that the only offlco the joint conven-' tion then had was to count the votes and declare the result; and that thero was no provision for declaring the legal effect ot that result. The two houses then separated nnd the joint conventiotf was dissolved; The record of the declaration of the vote of tho joint convention was entered upon the journals' of the two houses. Nothing now remains but the administration of the oath of office! on March 4 to make Benjamin Harrison Provident and Levi P. Morton Vice Presi­ dent of the United States. BIG FIRE AT_ BRANDON.

Immediately after the introduc­ tion of positions, in the House, the Speaker called Mr. Miller to the chair, stating that a d> alh in his family would necessi.ate his ab­ sence for a few days. The House resolved it­ self into a committee of the whole for the con­ sideration of the drainage bill, with Mr. Part­ ridge of Lake in the chair. Mr. Hayes suggested that the bill be taken up secti >n by section, but Mr. Meyer thought the House should first hear JVfayor Roche and others on the subject of the bid. This was acceded to by Mr. Hayes, and Mayor Roche, of Chicago, was invited to address ti e House. Mr. Roche stud that he bad not ex­ pected to bo called upon t > address the House on the bill, and could only give the result ot his pxperience on the commission. It was the in­ tent iin that the city of Chicago should have a Bewage outlet, and that all work done might be permanent and hereafter utilized for a ship .anal. The Mayor's speech occupied most of the session. A MEsBAGK from the Governor was presented to the Senate on the 14th inst. announcing the appointment of Don R. Frarer, of Mount Car­ roll. for printer expert, and Thomas H. Jamison, of Chicago, to succeed Herman Schroeder as a member of the Board of Pharmacy.

IT is well to have a mission in' thia world. That is what many politician ̂ think. They, however, want missions with big salaries.' THE RICHEST OP HOBE*. m <> the Wesilhlciit Fassos Her Lotsurw 1' Mrs. Vanderbilt, the widow of William H. Vanderbilt, is the richest woman in America. Next to Queen Victoria die is the richest woman in the world. Sbt and her son George, the only unmarried child, with a large staff of servants^ occupy the huge brown-stone palace at the corner of Fiflii avenue and Fifty- first street. In many respects Mrs. Vanderbilt leads a very simple life, exactly w hundreds of other women who have not a hundreth part of her money. She breakfasts between 8 and y o'clock, the meal consisting of fruit, porridge, steak, chops, or broiled chicken, warm rools, tea. and coffee. Georgd Vander­ bilt breakfasts with his mother, so that she shall not be alone. Her luncheon is also a comparatively simple meal, but at dinner there is much ceremony, and there are usually guests. The dinitfg-room is on the first floor, witfc windows looking out on Fifty-first street. There is an immense fire-place with carved oaken designs in bas-reliel at one end of the room, opposite the door leading from the Japanese rooaj^ ; which has recently had a billiard table placed in the center. The dioing-totwaai ; | is furnished with all oaken furniture. ̂ A buffet fills one entire side of tho ^ room, and on the other, between the 1 windows, are large glass cabinets, In which is the fines! collection of olcl -"M Sevres and other rare porcelain. When I lunched with her the other f_ day the table was set for eight people and the service waa of Dresden chini. On each plate was a large white lines M napkin* so folded as to »how an em» | broidered monogram about an inch arwfc a half square of the letters W. H. V. •=? At the four corners of the table were" s tall silver candlesticks, with pink candles and pink silk shades, and w • ' front t»f these small silver dishes lac 3 bonbons, salted almonds, olives, etc. ̂ The glassware was fiuely cut and ^ sparkled like diamonds, and on the buffet stood other specimens of cut- glass reaay for use. It all s'tone like a collection *of huge gems. In the center of the table stood a large cut-glass bowl of rare workmanship filled with chry* anthemums from Mrs. Vanderbilt's own. conservatory, which just now contain* an immensely beautiful display of those autumnal flowers. Just outside the dining-room is a store-room, with safes built into the wall. It also contains the butler's pantry. There is a balcony, with a wrought-iron railing, which extendi around the room and five feet from the top. The safes on the lower range ate lined with purple velvet and contain large pieces of silver. There are silvet punch-bo-vls, tankards, candlesticks, tureens, all exquisitely engraved and (4 immense4size. One safe contains only immense silver trays, and one tray, es|)ecially large, has a tiny railing m inch high surrounding it and large showj handles. It is said to be the Iawr«J| and finest engraved piece of silver plait in the country. Another safe contains a solid gold dinner service and tall gold candlesticks. There are few people oi royal blood who can excel in ttieil table appointments this New Yorii widow. In the balcony row of safee the smaller pieces of silver are kept; spoons of every kind and variety, ladles, knives, forks, and small dishefc. Thev are in gold, silver, and piatinuak Tork letter. M German Emigration. The German imperial emigration commissioner in his last report remarks that ever since his office was created it has been noticed that when war threat­ ened emigration would increase for a number of years and then decrease again for a time. In 1872 emigration reached what had till then been the highest figure, 154,284; then it decreased year by year till in 1877 the number was only 41,824; again it rose rapidlv so thai in 1879 it was 51,763; 1880. 149,709; 1881, 247,336, then it decreased slowly again until in 1886 it was 160,474, while in 1874 it showed an increase to 172,452. Moreover the proportion of Germans to foreign emigrants fluctuates largely is different years. Thus non-German oniigrants^increased between 1881 and 1886, but decreased in 1887, while the number of Germans emigrating declined between 1881 and 1886, bnt rose again in 1887. In 1877 both were almost alike, about 23,000 each; in 1881 the non-German emigrants increased to 66,037, while the German had increased to 184,369. The violent fluctuation in numbers are therefore mainly due to the German element anibng the emi­ grant*. Legislation has lately inter­ fered in favor of a better-treatment of the passengers, and especially to pre­ vent overcrowding on board emigrant ships. Bremen is the principal emi­ grant part of Germany, Hamburg* com­ ing next, and then, with comparatively few, Stettin. With March the great flow commences, culminating in May and ending with November. Of the 92,088 foreigners emigrating via German porta in 1887 29,554 came from European Russia, 19,647 from Austria and Bohemia, 18,335 from Hungary, 6,101 from Sweden and Norway, 3,915 from Denmark, and 1,066 from Konmania. Of German emigrants, numbering in all 79,473,11,978 came from East Prus­ sia, 8,690 from Posen, 6,722 from Pora- erania, 5,089 from Hanover; indeed, over 50,000, or nearly two-thirds of the whole, came from the kingdom of Prus­ sia; Bavaria sent about 8,000; Wurtem- berg, 4,360; Saxony, 2,229; the emigra­ tion from the other states waa qpile in­ significant. 1 , A Model Millionaire Pfenantfcrepfet* It was one of the late Joseph W. Drexel's greatest pleasures to secretly help the poor. His philanthrophy waa not warped by narrow prejudices, and he would not refuse to open his purse even at the appeal of an ex-^riminaL Indeed, he even went so far as to em­ ploy a man who was once a clergyman iu this city to visit the police courts aud take the addresses of those who had been sent to prison for stealing. Then he would have the case investi­ gated, and if he found that poverty had been the means ol driving the man­ or woman--to crime he would be espe­ cially generous and considerate. Many unfortunate families were debtors to h» charity, and he has helped many, who would otherwise have been wholly des­ titute, to honest employment and com­ fortable homes. His pet plnlanthrophgr was his 200-acre farm at Plaitifiekl, N. J., where he kept, fed, and clothed a number of friendless and pennileae tramps.
