Officially it is almost entirely so, Secretary of State Foster . being the solo representative of the Cabinet here. At the White House things wear a de­ cidedly abandoned appearance, owing to the absence of 1 Iro^TTmrrjir- the President and P---- his family and the usual summer over- t hauling of the buiid. i 11' ing, which is now being don^1. The carpets have been taken up and aired, the furniture com­ pletely hidden with white linen, and over the huge chandeliers folds of netting hang to protect them during the hot weather. At the War Department, As­ sistant Secretary Grant presided at the head of the department, Secretary Elkins having gone to Deer Park to visit his family. The affairs of the navy are likewise looked after b,v the Assistant Secretary in the absence of Secretary Tracy, who is nortli, while Attorney General Miller, Postmaster General Wanamaker, Secretary Noble, and Sec­ retary Rusk are all away. The warm weather has had the effect of causing the different departments to be closed an hour earlier than usual, and altogether the withdrawal of Congress, the Presi- | dent and his Cabinet has caused the city to assume an air of dullnees so far as concerns official business. I Statesmen 111 llieir Cupi. Washington was all stirred up over the , charges made by Mr. Watson shortly before the adjournment of Congress, ' and, although the report of the invest!-.I gating committee brought out nothing, | the allegations made continue to furnish subject matter for gossip. | A hundred years ago a man would have got merrily laughed at lor stag­ gering into Congress and making a maudlin effort at oratory, and a few would have considered it really disrep­ utable, but no newspaper would have thought it worth mentioning and no committee would have investigated it. When half of the men in the land oc­ casionally or frequently got drunk a sporadic case of tipsiness caused no comment. The fuss that is made over a transient and doubtful lapse from temperance on the part of three or four members is a very high tribute to the general sobrletv of this Congress. S nee the close of the war for the Union drunkenness has be­ come, for the first time in the history of the human race, thoroughly disreputa­ ble, not only in Congress but in all pub­ lic bodies and in society everywhere. Has there been a scandalous exhibition of drunkenness in Washington in a year by any well-known man? As late as when Kossuth was in this city inebriety was common. The ban­ quet in his honor was held at the Na­ tional Hotel; speeches weie made by Cass, Webster, Shields, Seward and others, and several prominent guests got into such a condition that they had to be helped away from the tabie. Tbe great Magyar and his suite were carried back to the Metropolitan (only six doors distant) in carriages, but one was so helpless that he tumbled into the "bridal bed" with his boots on, and refused to be disturbed till morning. There was more intemperance in the Senate in 18W than there is to-day, but it brought to the bar and tried for "habitual drunkenness and profanity on the bench" one of the United States judges, and the man was convicted. The city was a dreary mudhole then, full of ague and monotonous misery, and there is no reason to marvel that Congressmen, when they left their un­ finished quarters, drank deeply, bet heavily, and amused themselves with dog fights and cock fights. There was not only bad rum in those days, but there was plenty of rough-and-tumble prize fighting, in which mtn lost their eyes and noses. A tall gallows appro­ priately stood at the foot of Capitol Hill. It Was Different Tlten. We have fallen on different times, in­ deed, when a man cannot get drunk in public or be eeen emerging from a gambling saloon without injury to his reputation and credit. Different, in­ deed, was it in the good old heyday of "Bllfll and Black George," when Pen­ dleton kept open his "palace of fortune" on the avenue and presided at a sump­ tuous dinner every day at 5 in full dress and surrounded by twenty or thirty members of the House and Senate, cabinet ministers, generals, diplomats and judges, attracted by the pleasures of the duplex table, the faro table im­ mediately succeeding th ? dinner table. The cuisine was presided over by an artist. The wines were bought at auc­ tion when bankrupt German dukes sac­ rificed their cellars. Everything was luxurious and scores of distinguished gamesters chased the ivory chips around the green baize till the morning came in with its glow. Humphrey Marshall, being appointed Minister to China in 1852, dropped into Pendleton's the night before he started to play "one farewell game," and he lost all the money he pos-; sessed, his entire outfit, and six monthsr (»ay in advance--and then Pendleton ent him money enough to carry him to the flowery kingdom, where he doubt­ less taught the funny game to the al­ mond-eyed celestials. And when the good Pendleton, died the Mayor of Washington and Senators and members bore his pall, and President Buchanan wept at his funeral. And there was no scandal about it, and no reporters watched, as they now would, to see who went in and out at Pendleton's. Ah! Times have changedl Some Incidents lu Po'nt. Many will remember a remarkable scene in the Senate within a few years. A member of that body persisted in speaking when he could not maintain either his bodily poise or lingual equilib­ rium. The President quietly ignored him and went on for some minutes with other business in spite of his clamor. "Mr. President, as I was saying ' "Reports from the Committee on Ter­ ritories," said Mr. Ingalls. in the chair. "Here, stop!" exclaimed the unbal­ anced Senator to the reading clerk. "I will not be interrupted!" "Is the gentleman from endeav oring to address the Senate?" asked the presiding officer, coolly. "No, it!" was the response, "the gentleman from is addressing the Senate!" He rambled on, not to say maudled, but finally consented to be led away. Indeed, among the stories of the House when it met in what is now Statuary hall is one of a member who was per mitted to keep his valet in the cloak room to take care of him when he be came helpless, and another of a chair man who caused great consternation by suddenly insisting on going to bet gavel in hand, under the Speaker'sdeak. Such thinss do not happen now. CLAY KING. COLONEL KINO'S CRIME, Saw an Eminent Lawyer Was Land to Ruin by • Clever Woman. Colonel Henry Clay King, who killed David H. Poston, a prominent Tennes­ see lawyer, in Memphis, March 10, 1891, has, through execu­ t i v e c l e m e n c y , h a d his sentence commut­ ed to life imprison­ ment. Tho details of the crime have become of widespread inter­ est, not only because of the domestic scan­ dals immediately pre­ ceding the murder, and of which it was the climax, but on aocount of the high legal ability and literary attainments of the murderer himself. On March 10 of last year, at about the noon hour, King, who had evidently been in waiting for his victim, stepped from an alley into a crowded street, and fatally shot David H> Poston, the wounded man expiring the evening of the same day. Henry Clay King's downfall can be traced entirely to his allurement from the path of honor by Mrs. Mhry J. Pil­ low, widow of Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, who distinguished himself in the Mexi­ can war, and who, during the siege of Fort Donelson, declined the command of the Confederate forces in favor of Gen.BiK-kner, the officer who was com­ pelled to capitulate in a few days t6 the victorious Grant. j When Col. King met Mrs. Pillow; their meeting was a chance one, in the or­ dinary affairs of business, in his own office, and from that hour the great law­ yer was her slave. Finding that con­ cealment of the factd from the public was impossible, he finally threw off the mask and went with the woman, openly deserting his wife and children. It was then that popular disapproval began to manifest itself, and its effect upon King's business and personal associa­ tions was soon more than he could stand. To escape an indignation, daily growing into wrath on the part of Mem­ phis citizens, the Colonel, accompanied by his ensnarer, removed to his planta­ tion in Lee Couny, Arkansas. Mrs. Pillow in a few months began to lay plans to secure King's property in her own name. In her wily way she suggested to her ad­ mirer that his pos­ sessions could only be made safe from the clutches of his wife and fatniiy by transferring the title to some one other than himself. The ruse was sue- LA*RAB POBTOK. cessful. Within a year Mrs. Pillow was the undisputed owner ot the Arkansas plantation and had prevailed upon King to have the legal instruments duly made out deeding the Memphis homestead, occupied by his wife and children. By mutual agreement this deed was left unrecorded, the preparation of the pa­ pers simply being intended to promptly thwart any attempt on the part of his wife's relatives to deprive him of his right in the property. But Mrs. Pillow was not disposed to let such an excel­ lent chance slip by to add to her estate. Unknown to the Colonel she took the deeds and quietly had them registered. When King discovered her perfidy his rage knew no bounds. .Feigning a lingerlug respect for his family, he accused the author of his ruin with dishonesty and deception as well as a desire to reduce to poverty his wife and children, who had done her no harm. The battle, which was long and loud, ended in Mrs. Pillow's ordering King off her property, and he had to obey. This caused him 1o bring suit in the Arkansas courts for the recovery of his property, which led to the publica­ tion of the digraceful story in detail. Poston & Poston, of Memphis, were retained as Mrs. Pillow's attorneys, the senior partner of the firm being David H. Poston, the murdered man. Poston was regarded as one of the ablest lawyers in Tennessee, and was pecu­ liarly noted for plainness and force of speech, which cut to the quick of his an­ tagonist at every sentence. In King's case, which afforded him unusual oppor­ tunity, he used this gift io the utmost. To the judge and jury ho uncovered the plaintiff's real character, and was un­ sparing in the terms of denunciation applied. This was more than the fiery- Southern blood of Henry Clay King could bear, and the following day he shot Poston down as related. Soon after his imprisonment for the crime, Mrs. King, whom he had so crutlly treated and deserted, came to see her husband in 'his trouble, and a reconciliation was effected. From that day she has nobly stood by him, and it was mainly through her heroic efforts in his behalf that the Governor was pre­ vailed upon to commute the sentence. GUARDING AGAINST CHOLERA.

The members of the New York Board of Health held a conference upon the subject of cholera and smallpox and the precaution necessary to avert an epi­ demic. It was decided that should cholera makes its appearance those stricken should be isolated at some re­ treat other than North Brother Island, where smallpox, typhus and leprous patients are cared for. It was also de­ cided to issue circulars to all practicing physicians and to certain officials and citizens urging them to report instantly all cases of cholera morbus coming un­ der their observati. n. The same sys­ tem will be pursued in suppressing smallpox and typhus, which are now so prevalent.

LITTLE OR NO RAIN FELL. Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin Ifsqtd Iif the Government Bureau. The following is the weather crop bulletin issued by the weather bureau: "The week was slightly cooler than usual in the Gulf States and on the Pacific coast, the deficiency in tempera­ ture exceeding two degrees only in Central and Southern Texas. About the normal temperature conditions prevailed over the lower lakes, Ohio Valley, and middle Atlantic Statee. From the cen­ tral and upper Mississippi Valley west­ ward to the Rocky Mountains the week was unusually warm, especially over Kansas, Eastern Nebraska and Western Missouri, where the average daily ex­ cess in temperature amounted to from six to nine degrees. "The weather of the last week has not materially affccted the seasonal tem­ perature to the westward of the Missis­ sippi, where it is now nearly normal, but from the central Mississippi Valley westward to the Rocky Mountains the seasonal deficiency has been reduced by the abnormal high temperature of the last week. "Over nearly the whole of the United States the last week has been given but little rain, and over a very extensive area, including portions of the Dako- tas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Western Tennessee, Indian Territory and Northern Texas, there was no rain at all, nor has any appreci­ able amount fallen on the Pacific coast, but in the last-named region only the normal conditions have prevailed. "The seasonal rainfall from March 1 to date continues in excess over the central valleys, lake region, and portions of the Gulf and Middle Atiantic States. It is deficient on the South Atlantic coast and in Texas. The greatest ex­ cess in the seasonal rainfall exists in the upper Mississippi Valley and the greatest deficiency in Texas." TRIED TO SHOOT A PRISONER. Investigations Will Probably Relieve Min­ ister Tsln of Hi* Duties. It is learned that the present Chinese Minister to this country will be relieved from his mission in a month or two, and that his place will be filled by the ap­ pointment, most probably, of Mr. Shui, formerly Secretary of the Legation in Washington, and now holding a place under his irovernment in China. It is alleged as the reason for the change that the Emperor of China is much displeased with the course of Mr. Tsin, the present Minister, in his alleged transactions looking to the establishment of an inter­ national bank in China and as a result of Information sent from this country to Chinese officials calling their attention to publications in the papers reciting these facts, the Emperor has ordered an investigation into the matter. "HEAVEN" WILL BE MOVED. A Woman and a Big Revolver Create a Sensation In an Arizona Court-Koom. During the preliminary examination at Phoenix, Arizona, Wednesday of John Rhodes, accused of being one of the murderers of Thomas Graham, in the Tewksbury-Graham feud on Aug. 2, Mrs. Graham, wife of the murdered man, attempted to shoot the defendant and was prevented only by an accident. As the trial was in progress before Jus­ tice Huson, Mrs. Graham, who was fifteen feet from the prisoner, sprang from her chair, drew a big re­ volver and rushing to Rhodes placed the pistol against his breast and pulled the trigger, but the pistol missed fire. There was a mad rush from the court-room. Lawyers and reporters got under the tables. Officers rushed to the rescue. Sheriff Montgomery took the pistol, with the assistance of several deputies, after a desperate struggle. The woman pleaded for the weapon to shoot Rhodes. The justice ordered her removed from the court-room, but she returned to make a second attempt, when her father, the Rev. Mr. Milton, a Baptist minister, took her to a hotel.

THE FIRST SESSION , PAPSE3 INTO HISTORY; rh* Mir 1*111 Signed by the President- Members Hurry Away from the Capital Tbrasliing-Mnchlne and Pitchfork tiaU te lfml fwo laves. linlaliotl its Labors, • The first session of the Llld Congress has passed into history. The final ad­ journment came at 11 o'clock Friday night. One of the final acts of the ses­ sion was the passage of the Durborow bill giving $2,500,000 to the World's Fair. President Harrison signed the World's Fair bill at 9:10 o'clock, and the pen which he used was surrepti­ tiously captured by Col. Elliott P. Shepard of New York as a souvenir. President Harrison drove to the Capi­ tol at 8:30 o'clock in order to sign such bills as might be passed during the expir­ ing moments of the session. The Presi­ dent was accompanied by Secretaries Foster and Noble, Private Secretary Halford and a retinuo of White House attendants. They went to the historio President's rpjin in the lobby of the Senate, where the President immedi­ ately set about clearing away the pile of bills which were (engrossed and ready for his signature. He was in light and breezy attire, with a white flower in his buttonhole, and the absence of a vest showed a broad expanse of white shirt-front. First came a number of minor bills to which the Presidential signature was affixed. Then came one more bulky than the rest. It was the Durborow bill, carrying $2,500,000 to the World's Fair. The President read it through carefully and then, without hesitation, picked up his pen to sign. "Here, take this pen," said Secretary Halford, extending an ordinary stub pen instead of the one which the President had been using. Mr. Harrison took the pen and scratched his name on the parchment. Mr. Halford at once pos­ sessed himself of the pen and bore it away triumphantly. It was not until half an hour later that the World's Fair people learned, with not a littly chagrin and indignation, that Col. Shepard was to be the possessor of the pen which made the World's Fair appropriation an assured fajt. ' Agreed Upon Adjournment. It was agreed by both houses that the adjournment hour should be eleven o'clock. Promptly at that time Speaker Crisp stopped the stream of small legis­ lation which was proceeding and an­ nounced that the session of the House was adjourned without day. Immediate­ ly the air was filled with flying papers as members flung on high the bills which had expired. As the scene was being enacted the correspondents in the press gallery ob­ served a historic custom of chanting the doxology. At the same time Vice Presi­ dent Morton was ringing down the cur­ tain in the Senate, and the first session of the Llld Congress was over. BIDWELL FORMALLY NOTIFIED. The Prohibition Candidate Officially Made Awure ot Mis Selection. San Francisco special: Gen. John Bidwell, of Chico, was officially notified Friday night in Metropolitan Hall of hia nomination for the Presidency by the Prohibition party. Upon tho platform sat members of the local county com­ mittee of party representatives from different parte of the State, and a few from other States. Col. Eli F. Hitter, Chairman of the national convention which nominated Gen. Bidwell, was introduced by the President of the evening, J. M. Glass, of - Pasadena. Colonel Ritter <. said the Cincinnati con­ vention was composed of men of intel­ ligence and of ideas, and when they searched among the great names of their party their choice foil on General Bidwell, who was as well qualified as any man in the nation to represent and lead the party. It afforded him the greatest pleasure, he said, to notify the distinguished Californian of h's nomina­ tion. General Bidwell replied at some length. He thanked the convention for the honor given and the people for the con­ fidence expressed. Ho gave hearty as­ surance that he would do all in his power to exercise that trust with all the faithfulness and .dignity its importance demanded. The speaker was frequently interrupted by applause, which broke, into cheers when Mrs. Bidwell was es­ corted to the platform and to her hus­ band's side. The address of the evening was by Colonel Ritter upon the politiCM issues of the campaign. MURDER SUCCEEDS MURDER. Thrashing Machine and Pitchfork Used to End Two Live*. The most tragic of double murders imaginable 'was enacted near Celina, Ohio. Ballenbaugh Brothers' thrash­ ing machine was at work on Henry Schlense's farm, and John fehrybock and Frank Day, two old enemies, were helping operate it. Shrybock let hia knife slip ani cut Day's hand. He at once apologized, but Day threatened, in case it happened again, to throw Shrybock into the machine. Presently Shrybock again let it slip and cut Day's hand. Day. to the horror of all present, then proceeded to carry out his horrible threat. Seizing Shrybock around the waist he hurled him head first into the machine. The engineer stopped tho machine and caught Day just as he was about to run away. With the greatest possible diffi­ culty the mutilated remains of Shrybock were extricated from the machine. He was literally torn to shreds and to recognize him even for what had once been a human being would have been impossible. Henry Shrybock, his brother, was hastily summoned. When he learned what had happened his rage knew no bounds. Despite everything that could bo dons, he seized a piti hfork and, rush'ng upon Day, plunged it thrice intJ his body. Day dropped dead at once. Shrybock gave himself up to the authorities, and was locked up on a charge of murder. T»«e Peach b ow. The Peach blow porcelain is of Chinese manufacture, and is about :100 years old. It is not, as is some­ times supposed, the designation of a particular shade of color, but a rare and peculiar glaze, which no^ merely covers the surface of the vessel, but penetrates the entire texture of the article, so that if the^ame be broken, the internal structure is identical with that of the surface. The method by which this result is reached is unknown, and much money has been expanded In vain to discover it. The ware is, In,a »enw, therefore, the result of a happy accident. .Speci­ mens of It are rarw In China to-day, where It U pii/.«'d (i* highly as any­ where el*e, Mosjl of that of whiclj there IN definite* Knowledge was taken from China by the Dutch In the days when they mouo|iol!zcd th& trade with that country, and from Holland has made way over Europe.
