When the House of Representatives iodised
to vote itself out of the public treasury the
November salaries which Cashier Silcott had
absconded with Crnin. of Texas, appealed to
tho Court of Claims and obtained a judgment
which benefited all his fellow-members as well
as himself. In consequence of Crain's pcr
seveiance all the members of tho House yester
day received from Uncle Sam all tho back pay
which was due them, and aggregatine In all
about $75,000. Now some of the beneficiaries
of tho action successfully taken in tho Court of
Claims think Crnin ought to bo presented with
a testimonial In the shapu of a gold watch aud
a banquet, but others take a different view of
the case and say that Cratn, having won his
case, ought to celebrate the victory by "setting
'em up." How ungrateful 1
It is said of Craln, of Texas, that when ho
was campaigning against the lato Tom Ochil
tree In tho Galveston District ho suggested as
an appropriate epitaph for his opponent In this
canvass and predecessor in this House, these
lines:
"Hero lies Tom Ochiltree Tho only tiling ho
ever did."
"The best waiters In tho Washington rcstau
rauts," said Representative Craln, of Texas, the
other day, "are tho guests." These Toxans put
on lots of airs after they have lived long enough
In a large city to learn something. It was not
Craln who blew out the gas In his bed-room the
first night he stopped in Washington, but it was
a Concressman from tho samo State. Major
Martin, who a couplo of years ago nlmost made
a corpse of himself by blowing out tho gas in
his bed-room, will soon be dictating etiquette to
"Washington society.
One of tho attractions at Kemau's Theatre
last week was billed as "The Seven Tempta
tions." I had heard of tho temptations of St.
Anthony, and also of the troubles of Mark
Antony and I thought I would like to see for
myself at least one of tho seven, just to find out
how I could 6tand It. I stood tho test of tho
-whole seven that is to ?say, I didn't count
them, but the bill said there wore seven and
since then I cannot help putting a little addi
tional fervor into tho prayer, "Lead us not
into temptation."
Talking about St. Anthony, tho sceptics are
beginning now to question the record which all
the world has accepted without question for so
long a time. The record avers that St. Anthony
resisted all the temptations, but the sceptics
now say that that is an ex parte report, and that
the girl's side of the story hasn't yet been heard.
This is an inconoclastlc ago. Well, lot us have
the truth. The critics may be able to prove
after a while that the lady wasn't at fault at all,
and that it was St. Anthony himself that made
all the trouble. In this newspaper age the
girls get more fair play than they used to get
when the saints the male saints edited all tho
chronicles.
That pictorial interview with Senator Ingalls
printed in the New York World last Sunday is
admitted all around to have broken the record
in newspaper interviewing. By themselves, tho
pictures made from instantaneous photographs
of the Senator, taken during the interview,
make a very interesting gallery. There is hardly
a professional actor on the stage who could have
posed for as many good, distinct pictures In the
samo space of time. The variety in tho Sena
tor's attitudes is something remarkable, but
every picture is ' Ingulllsh quite Ingallish,
you know." The pictures were intended to
he the leading feature of the whole production,
'to which a four-page supplement of the World
was devoted ; but ovon instantaneous photo
graphy has a difficult task in keeping up its end
against the picturesqueness of tho Kansas Sena
tor's ideas and language. Senator Ingalls, in
consenting to participate in the interesting, but
for him daugerous, experiment, made as great
a concession as any public man of equal promi
nence ever made to" a newspaper; and the World,
in devoting so much effort and space to tho
interview, paid the Senator as high a compli
ment as ever a great newspaper paid to a pub
lic man. It lb probably true that the World la
the only newspaper that could have got tho Sen
tor's Interview, and that the Senator is the only
man in America who could have got the World's
space.

Sam Randall is dead. Owing to circum
stances over which I had no control I, as a
newspaper reporter, having had occasion fre
quently to call on him, nover got a civil word
from him, but often uncivil words Instead of
that soft answer which turneth away wrath,
and would have served the purpose. And my
experience with Mr. Randall, I think, was not
materially different from that of other news
paper reporters. Ho was not given to desul
tory talking; and ho would not talk until ho
wanted to lay something, no matter who asked
him. He was ono of tho few public men who
did not care to see themselves figuring very
prominently in tho newspapers, and more than
that he was not bothered very much nbout
what the newspapers said of hlra. And yet I,
for one, never felt a deslro while ho was living
to 6ay a mean word of him. Ho was no cour
tier, as one would naturally expect a
politician to bo more or less; but
ho was ono of the bestpubllc servants this coun
try has ever had. "With tho possible exception
of John Sherman, no man had so closely studied
or understood 60 well tho financial needs of this
Government, and his honesty was as impregna
ble as tho Rock of Gibraltar. He was too just a
man to be influenced to do an unfair act, and
too keen and Intelligent to bo fooled. There
nover was a time when, If I had been on trial
for a capital offense, I would not have been
willing to leave tho decision of my fato to Mr.
Randall with as much confidence as I would
havo left It to any jury In tho United States
that is to say, if had only wanted justice. He
was au able, upright public servant, and a
strong man. There arq few like him In public
life In any country.
A significant sign of tho times is a pros
pectus which has been drawn up by Ludwlg
Eislnger, tho expert In monumental plastic
work, and some of his artistic friends, for tho
formation of a National Art Company. Ther
are at present so many schemes before Congress
for the erection of public buildings and monu
ments, and these schemes aro continually in
creasing at such a rapid rate, that it appears to
these geutlcmou that there Is a great and very
profitable field of employment open to an asso
ciation of artists who would not only furnish
tho Government with all tho advice It might
need on questions of art aud taste, hut who
could aho coutract for monuments of all kinds
and tho erection of public buildings according
to the everlastiug principles of art. Tho es
tablishment of au art foundry aud a school
where lectures would bo delivered and models
exposed aud tho publication of a high-class
monthly art magazine aro all Included in tho
project, which, of course, looks for a large
ineusmo of financial support from tho Govern
ment. What tho projectors evidently want Is a
charter from Congress conferring upou them
tho exclusive right to supply all the wants of
the Government which may bo In any way re
lated to tho lino aits. It's a big scheme, and
Us authors bcllovo "there's millions In It."

A good pi lvate secretary can do a great deal
for his principal, especially if he be a man of in
telligence, of pleasant manners, of general infor
mation, knowledge of men and of tho world.
The world will never know how much of tho
success of Its prominent and Its great men is duo
to the thought, tho industry, tho shrowducss,
and the loyalty of their private secretaries.
Every administration has owed a great deal to
its private secretaries. The present Administra
tion Is no exception to the rule, and It Is flatter
ing to the vanity of tho newspaper fraternity
that when a President or a Cabinet ofilcer wants
a private secretary he generally seeks the ser
vices of a newspaper man. I know of no
smoother, more polished, more intelligent, moio
discreet, moro accomplished, and successful pri
vate secretary than Marshall dishing, who left
Newspaper Row to devote himself to the service
of Postmaster General Wanamakcr.
"Should reporters be gentlemen ?" The ques
tion was put on the editorial page of the Now
York Sun last Sunday. I beg tho .Suit's pardon,
but tho question seems to be very uncompli
mentary to tho guild. Why, certainly, they
should bo gentlemen should bo ? Aro. Thoro
aro exceptions to every rule, but newspaper re
poiters as a class aro gentlemen, except when
they happen to bo ladles. Tho ladles should not
bo gentlemen by any means. You cannot cat
your cake and have It too.

The State Department under the present Ad
ministration is doing its best to keep Its own
secrets, and Secretary Blaluo evidently regards tho
entire buslnessof tho State Department aBhis own
secrets, or "largely private affairs," to use tho
phrase which he himself applied to business
trusts. A great fuss was made last summer be
cause some American ladies had been arrested
and taken to a police station in Mentone, France,
on a charge of bilking a French dressmaker, but
I fancy that tho diplomatic correspondence in
relation to the matter, if It should ever como
out, will not show that there was much fuss
made on the other side of the Atlantic. A few
days ago another report came by cable to say
that Americans in Rome were very indignant
because a wealthy Californlan lady had been ar
rested there under suspicion of what is known
in this country as shoplifting. I don't notice
that tho Stato Department has made much fuss
about this case. Secretary Blaine has probably
found that the bluster in New York and Wash
ington about the Mentone case was out of all
proportion to the results produced by the efforts
of our diplomatic representative in France.
When Mr. Bayard was Secretary of State the
papers relating to tho foreign relations of this
country for the year were always in the hands of
Congress and the public within a few days of
tho meeting of Congress in December, whereas
up to date not a single scrap of paper of the
kind has been delivered to Congress by Secretary
Blaine.
Who is In charge of the moonlight department
of the District government? In municipal
affairs it is the funniest thing I know of. The
moonlight department is the department that Is
supposed to turn on the moonlight for the pur
pose of illuminating the city at night, and to
save gas and electric light. Sometimes the moon
is not disposed to work she may not bo full
enough, there may be water in her meter, or
something of that kind but to tho moonlight
or the lunatic department of tho government
that doesn't matter. The moon has her nights
assigned to her, and on these nights the city gets
no other light. It is moon or nothing. The
traveler in the coal and iron districts of Scotland
and England may meet with several towns
whose streets at night never get and never need
any illumination but what comes from tho glare
of the furnace fires, but I don'tknow of any city
which depends 60 largely upon the moon. The
lunatic department of the District government
is an important one.
Everything considered, the theatrical season
now drawing to a close has probably been tho
best from tho standpoint bf dramatic art that
the city of Washington has over enjoyed. Wo
haven't had Bernhardt and we haven't had
Patti, but we have had Salvini, tho greatest
tragedian that evor lived, and wo have had
pretty nearly everybody and everything else
that one could reasonably expect or desire. Tho
Lyceum Company, ono of tho best comedy com
panies on the English-speaking stage, opened
at the National early In tho season in "Sweet
Lavender," and Augustin Daly's Comedy Com
pany, which is regarded by most people of judg
ment as second to none, played at tho samo
theatre during tho past week. A restrospec
tlve glance at tho engagements which have ioen
played at the Washington theatres will convluco
you that with tho possible exception of New
York no city lu America has had a bettor theat
rical season than tho Capital. Take tho Na
tional, for instance, and to tho two comedy
companies already mentioned as having played
there add the Kendals, tho loading exponents
in England of polite comedy; Mansfield, whose
battle sceuo in "Richard III" is probably tho
finest battlo scene over put on tho stage; Jullu
Marlowe and Mario Wafnwrlght, Jefferson aud
Florence, Wilson Barrett and William Terrls,
who has shared tho honors with Henry Irving
in Irvlng's own company for years; Francis
Wilson, in "Tho Oolah;" Nat Goodwin, Emma
Abbott, "Mr. Barnes of Now York" and "Little
Lord Fauntleroy," Rosiua Vokes and Rose
Coghlan. This list In Itself comprehends a ruu
of entertainments of much more than usual ex
cellence, and many of tho other companies,
which aro too numerous to mention, havo prob
ably been moro admired and enjoyed than somo
of thoso horo named. And tho high general
excellence of tho season at Albaugh's and tho
other theatres havo been almost if not quite
equal to that at tho National.

The iublic cannot be too cautious in buy in ff Hungarian Wines to be
used for medicinal pwposcs, or for ordinary consumption, as many
wines are sold as sucJi which are merely imitation. Therefore, the
Hungarian Government has established this Cellar with the object of
furnishing the public with the pure and genuine wine product of their
country.
In order to be secured against any falsification the Hungarian
Government does not allow the sale of any wines from these Cellars at
Budapest) except in bottles, of which each has the National Coat of Arms
pressed on the cap and a protective label around its ncclc.
The Hungarian Wines have for centuries been noted for their
ivholesomeness on account of their body, fire, and clearness, which
prevent them from entering the blood. They act as a slight stimulant to
the nerves, promote digestion, strengthen the stomach, and Icecp the
head clear.
"TOKAY" is the "Acme" of all wines for the convalescent, and
2ersons failing in health and vigor.
People subject to sour stomach, heartburn, dispepsia, spasm in the
stomach, gout, and urinary gravel or calculi should drlnJc the red
Hungarian Wines as Rudai, Vlllanyi, Egri, Menes,pfnerAdlersberger,
etc., all of which are agreeable to the taste as well as being delicate and
spicy. The white Hungarian Wines will produce good results in case of
costivenes8,consti2ation,2iles, blood congest ion, onvher ever hemorrhage
in any part of the body is to be feared.
The Hungarian Wines are partiexdarly rich in Phosphoric Acid,
and the tlletetical iwwers of these wines are of a high order. To the
medical jwofession we commend the pure wines of Hungary as espe
cially worthy of notice.
There is no other wine in the world which excels the Hungarian
Wine as a medical medium, remedy, and recreator. TaJcen In feeble
health it really worJcs wonders, and it is observable how the beneficial
fluid strengthens a side person day by day.
It is an invariable rule of the medical profession to order Hun
garian Wines for their patients or convalescents, while it has been for
ages an aclcnowledged fact that the older a jerson the more beneficial
these Wines ftrove to be.
If the Hungarian Wine is taken atbreaJcfast it serves not only as
an excellent restorative, but incites appetite. For this jmrjwse one
glass of ToJcay or of Essence Wine talcen regularly will create stabile
and vigorous health.
At dinner and tea all the sujierior and table wines of Hungary
will aid digestion, etc.
Any one desiring to assure himself of the strict reliability of this
bjislness can refer to the Ini2). and Royal Minister of Austria-Hungary,
Washington, I). C, and to the Ini2. and Royal Consuls of
Austria-Hungary in the United States and Canada.
