to affeot the political complexion of entire
legislatures, and there are Instances where
social boycotts have been Instituted in which
many women of social promlnenco have par
ticipated. Tho whole difficulty Is the rostilt of tho beauty
contestof thoTransmlsslsslppl Exposition, a fea
ture of which was tho proposition to form a
composite photograph from which a medal
could lie cast that would portray In
the truest sense of the word lho fa
cial lines of tbo various beauties west of lho
Mississippi. Now the dlroclory is preparod to
admit that a herculean task wns undertaken
when the schomo was launched, and thnt tho
exposition will bo but a memory ore tbo plan is
accomplished.
Thus far only six States have niado selection
of tho two women whose photographs shall bo
n part of the composite picture. Tho balance
ot tho States west of tho Mississippi archopo
lesaly Imolrcd In loKlnp the knotl problem.
When It was determined to undertako a com
posite photograph the H rU dlmeulty presented
was in tho mnuner ot tho solectlon of tho
women whose beauty should bo considered
a fair typo of. Western loveliness. Vari
ous plans were suggested. It was at
first thought that a commission made up of
business men ot the various capitals should bo
called upon to settlo the puzzle. Then tho cum
bersomoncss of this plan caused It to bo aban
doned. A happv thought was advanced by Col. Max
son, Vice-President of tbo cxnosltion from tbe
Stato of Nevada. He suggested to tho directory
that It assign to tho exposition Vice-Presidents
of each State the tr.uk nf select
ing tho photographs of tho two handsomest
women ln their respective Slates. 1 hla was mi
copied with enthusiasm, nnd, as a mark of tho
dhoctorj's esteem. Col, Maxson was the first
Vice- Prosldout designated for this perilous duty.
Since then tho Colonel admits that lifo hns
been nsnaroand ndoluslon. When ha returned
from Omaha to bis homo he was besieged by
political and social frlonds to favor their
daughters and sisters in the selection.
He in a spirit of desperation Intro
duced this novel makeshift: rrom tho county
ln Nevada casting tho lowest number of Pop
ulist votes he selected one photogrupb, and from
each county casting an many votes hb the lowest
county ho selected one photograph, and for
each additional number ot votes another photo
graph. Thus he had forty-eight photographs from
which finally he selected to send to Omtha.
Ho doclares he Is a ruined man, as a result ot
tho jealousies and vituperations that llo con
test lncltod.
Col. Maxon s experience Is similar to
that of every officer who has been called
upon to make a selection, ln tbe Stat
of Washington the contest was carried
to a point where tbe Vice-President
received innumerable threatening letters from
angry women, and was repeatedly warned
against selecting certain ones as a type of the
beauty of the State of Nevada.
In the ofllce ot tho Silver State, n paper
printed In Wlnnemuca, Nov., George 8.
S'lxon, tho editor, was mobbed by six
women who visited him to protest
against a certain "brazen thing," as they
characterized her who asplrod to have her pho
tograph selected. Tho editor attempted to do
fend bis position, and was knocked down,
kicked, and otberwiso maltreated.
LUXURIOUS ELEVATORS.
Satln-Llned Cars U.ed In tho llonses or Million
nlrea.
Little boudoirs on wings Is the appropriate de
scription given by an enthusiastic Frenchman
of the elevators ho found himself invited to enter
on arriving in tho very now and sumptuous
houses ot his American hostesses. In fact, so
agrocablo an Impression did those clovators
have on his receptive and nppreclattvo Gallic
mind that ho Is going back to Paris to preach
the benefits th.-elev tor will confer In tho tall
French bouses. So far ln Paris thero is but one
of these conveniences known, and that hua been
recently lilted into tho splendid town resldcnco
of tho Countess Castellane. In the groat houses
of our Amnrlcan millionaires tbe elevator Is bo
coming tho rule and not the exception, espe
cially so at Newport and in New York city,
where a foot of land Is worth a small fortune,
and the houses are rearing their heads moro
loftily every yoar.
Thu oxceedlnx usefulness and beauty ot tho
private elevator has nover been more dearly
demonstrated than In lho groat Aslor mansion
on Fifth nonue, especially when an ulubornto
cnturtainmout is in progress. Due of tbo chief
beauties of this nduur.iblo dwelling Is thu grand
stairr-nsc, that rwecps up from the cry doors of
tbo marblo vestlbulo to tho great hall opening
on to the picture gallery. Atnighr. when palms
and c indies shod alternate light and sbanu
along thu crimson carpet, silver rods, and
carved balustrade, this Is tbo very choicest pot
on which to displa gracefully gorgeous toilets.
Therefore, when the women in their wraps aud
fur boots aro set down under tbo pcrtc coch6ro,
tbc aro led to ono side of tbe eslibule, a grilled
door slides back, and six nt a tluio are ushered
into tho snuggest llttlo elevator in er scou.
Its floor Is covered wltb a velvet carpet of the
warmest cerlso tone, and. bolng octagon shaped,
four of tbo sides are made of piuto glass mirrors
framed In gilt, and four sides are panels of
tuftod cerise satin. Tbo roof la built of ttlldod
iron, wrought ln odd shapes and partly filled in
wltb rose-colored glass, over which u spray of
electric lights spring. By this device the inte
rior ot tbe cur is tilled with a tender, becoming
glow that every woman keenly appreciates, as
she does also thu six comfortable seats the ele
vator contains and tbe fuct that sho wus saved
tbe necessity of parading in ber wraps like a
chrysalis up that Bplendld stairway.
A tolomn jouug man in pondered head and
court livers guards tho electric lever and the
travellers In the elevator, nil of whom are
landed on the third Hour. Thero ihey aro ush
ered into a dressing room, wrapt ore removed,
toilets touched up, and tbe i harming butterflies
are ready to moet their male cscurls and join
the gay procession moving duwu lho great
stairway.
Mrs. George Wcstlngbouse. ho over, who
OKBsonuot the most gorgeous homes in tbucity
of Washington, has uotio Mri Astor just ono
hotter in the completeness of very up-to-datocon-veniences.
Her bnllvvay is provided with a
tufted satin elovator on both sided. Ono is used
to carry guests up, tho other to bring them
down, and glided bankets uttaehed to tho cor
ners of thu elevator bold the programmes of tbe
tUnces, music, or whatever especial enlurtuln
menl Is provided for thu evening. Though so
exceedingly important nn occasions of festivity,
tho nrlvuto elevator la nol for Bitch slight con
venience alone, and It la n commentary on our
American civilization thai eight out of ten of
the private elevators have bueu put in nt the
commands of the fumlly phvs'clan, Thero Is
one New York woman of wealth who boasts
thnt In twelve months she has not walked up or
down not only her oivn Htulrvvny, but lhat of r
a friend's bouse, since she only lcuvcs cards at
those places whut no elevator is provided,
Ofcourso It all depends uponi ircumxtancos
whether tbo private elevator shall bo a costly
or Inexpensive addition to the modern (umltirt
anlx him 40. S to ckclncu; bus como so
rapidly Into use as u domestic servant for light
ing and heating, u small olov.tor. capable of
holding three persons, run be lit tod into a house
at an outlay of about 9'MO. It is munouuvrud
by a touch on a button, nnd Is sufii Indeed. No
elaborate interior decorations come for this
price, ns, for instance, will be found in tbe ex
qii site llttlo I usLut uiTnirs that some women
use in journojs from floor to lloor of their
homes, Ibesu aro wickor cars, and hold but
tho owner and a couple of friendH.
On stepping inside a wicker elevator, tho Ben
sntlon la of having entered a gorgeous, gigantic
wnstepaper buskut. The walls uro of rattan
treated wltb gilding nnd enamel paints, the
floor covered with a white goatskin rug, against
the broad seat upholstered In delicately tinted
china silk, pillows aru licaued, and tho root is a
prettily wuvondomo of wicker, with n cluster of
eloctrlo lights falling from the centre.
In tho rear of tho majority of the new houses
ono large elevator Is arranged for tho eervico of
the domestics, and to carry up all the coal, lug
gage, S:c., nnd the tiny affair, used by tbe mis
tress, runs in a shaft that extends from the cel
lar to tho garret. By this means she is able
everyday to go over every floor in thu houss if
she is somlndud.
At regular intervals these private elevators
are all most carofully Inspected, and though
among tbe wealthy their contribution to com
fort Is invuluable.lt is tho women of modoruto
means who find tbe growing popularity of the
little elevators absolutely destructive to their
domestic peace. Not a whit less luxury loving
than tbe mistress is the American servant, who,
having onco lived In a house where the stairs
are scarcely moro used than tho tire escapes,
not only reents. but flatly rcf i see to hire out m
what she i alls the olil-fasbloncd Inconvenient
homes. This complication as much as unythlng
else has forced the lilting up of elevators In
dwellings, tho humble-minded owners of which
believed until recently were tbe very models of
scientific luxury.

Taooma, Wash., March 0. Great Indignation
provalls among tho 10,000 men who are scat
tered along tho Skngway and Dyca trails at the
stationing of Canadian customs ofllcors at the
summit of tho passes. Now evon tho food which
thoKlomllkers will consume whllo boat build
ing nt Lako Ilonnott must pay duty. So must
every pack animal owned by tho freighters and
their fcod for each trip to the lakes. At Lake
Bennett rental Is to be charged for tenting
ground. Logs to build cabins will cost $10 and
logs for firewood or boat building 20 cents each.
Twenty-five dollars Is charged for every dog.
Advices rocelvcd to-day by tho stoamer Far
rellonsay that the Klondlkcrs could scarcely
faro worso If the Canadian officers moved down
to Skngway and Dyea and chargod duty on
every American nrtlclo unloaded. Hundreds
ot men with good outfits bavo gone north with
only enough monoy to roaih Alaska. Thoy
hoped to earn money building boats or at other
work at the lakes, or to work out their duty at
the Canadian customs stations as was done at
Taglsh Lako last fall. The collector of duties at
the summits prccludo all this, besides raising
nn international question ot boundary rights.
Lastweok tho Klondlkers along both trails
held meotlngs at which threats were madoof
marching together past the customs stations
and refusing to par duty. Serious trouble seems
Insight though It Is hoped that the presence ot
United Stales troops at Skagway will prevent
bloodshed. Tbe collection of duty on dogB, pack
horses, and food, nnd the chargo for logs and
fuel at the lakes, aro among tho Increased
charges just put Into effect In an nppnront en
dm vor to forco all Klondlkers to outfit In tho
British Columbia towns, it is feared on Pugot
Sound that tho Canadians have secured tho
whip hand In this rcspoct.
Iti3ticctor Belcher, with twenty policemen nt
Chllkoot I'nfs, and Capt. Strickland al White
Pass, with twenty more, began collecting duty
on the summits on Feb. 20.
Thomas Grnhum of Ontario. Henry Pter of
Indiana, and Thomas Elliott of Munroe, Wash,,
arrlvod last night from Dawson, having left
thero on Feb. 1. They encountered very severe
weather and found soveral Klondlkers who
started last fall, with frozen limbs, along the
lower lakes. Just before they left Dawson,
Jamos Dobson had arrived there from Munook
Creek, bringing tho first news received from
Rampart City slnco October.
Dobson reported that food was plentiful at
Rampart, and tho miners generally were well
and happy. When he left ln December bed rock
had been reached on several claims. They were
rich in coarse gold, though not as rich as on tbe
Klondike. Claims there will pay handsomely.
Many claims on Little Munook, Minute, nnd
other streams were producing 910 to $30 a day
per man. The general bellof prevails there that
richer ground will be found near tbe head
waters of tboTanana River.
Late In January a nugget valued at 91,030
was found on Claim 30, Eldorado Creek, owned
by Alexander McDonald.
LOYALTY or THB IRISH.
Conareaamaa Mahany or Butralo Talks ta tha
Local Clan.lVa.Gael.
The Clan-na-Gnol celebrated the 120th anni
versary of the blrh of Robert Emmet at the
Academy of Music last evening. A musical pro
gramme, carriod out by amateurs, and an ora
tion by Rowland Blcnnerhassett Mahany, Con
gressman from ono of tho Erie county districts,
woro the attractions. William Temple Emmet,
a grandnephow of Robert Emmet, presided,
Tho Irish Volunteers wcro distributed about
the hall as a guard of honor. Just before the
presiding ofllcor was Introduced by R. J. Ken
nedy, Chairman of tho Committee of Arrange
ments, threo young volunteers camo on the
stage, bearing an American, an Irish and an
Irish-Ornngo flag. The American flag came
first and got most ot the applause. It was ex
plained by Mr. Kennedy that tbe green and yel
low flag was brought on tho stage to show that
tbo Orange and anti-Orange Irishmen had
healed their ancient differences.
Mr. Mahany was Introduced as a lineal de
scendant nf- Daniel O'Conncll. When be
stepped forward an Irish Volunteer took his
place boslde him, holding a large American
flag. Nobody seemed to Know what this wns
tor, so nobody applauded. It was made ap
tuxrent, after tho Buffalo Congressman had
snoken for about two minutes, that the flni:
was held theru by tho volunteer, according to
urdcrt, as n stngo property for tbe speaker.
He had spoken a fow sentences In eulogy of tbe
Irish when, wltb ritlit arm upraised, be made
a bco lino for the Hag, grasped a eornor of it,
and said:
"If this country should be plunged Into war
to-morrow this ncsv C'lan-na-Gnel would send
23,000 men to the front, ln defence of this starry
banner. Faint npplnusc.J Irishmen have no
need to prove their loyulty to this flag. Tho
speaker grabbed another corner. They hnvo
p.oved thnt from Anthony Wayno to Philip
Sheridan ancltln five great wars of the republic.
Certain classes hostile to tho Irish doubt this
loyalty. This hostility is shown chiefly by
tliuso who claim for their ancestors tho Puri
tans. "These descendants of the Puritans I had
almost sulci drgenerato descendants, but I de
spise all Puritans so thoroughly that I doubt if
the progeny could be more digenerato than an
cestorscan see nothing goodjn tbe Irish. That
is because they are too narrow-minded to un
derstand the race. Ihey do not know Irish
history. Tney do not know thot ln the furthest
dawn of human history, before time was meos
tired. It was tbe Celt going from tho tablelands
of Asia, the home of toe Irish, who planted the
first civilization lntho Western Hemisphere.
"'the Irish race has furnished the greatest
men of England. It has furnished Premiers ot
Spnln. Hisses. Let mo say to you, in refer
nco to that demonstration, that the Irish ln the
Unltod States have been and would be moro
than a math fob' all the Irish In Spain."
The entertainment ended with theZalnging of
tho "StnroSpangled Banner" and "God 8ave
Ireland."

Morphlnnmaala.
Much Information is given concerning mor
phinism In a work on the morphine habit, lately
published In Paris. It Is said there that Ger
many, France, and tho United States are tbe
countries In which the habit is most widespread,
but that it has lis victims in Russia, Sweden,
and Turkey, and lhat oven in tho ex-
tromo East morphine ns a narcotlo is
supplanting opium. Statistics are furnished
of 1,000 cuses, collected from all parts of the
world 030 inon and 330 women. Three statis
tics show that ot the male morphinists the med
ical profession supplies tbe largest number, 40
per cout. Men of sclenco como next, with 13 por
cent.; then merchants, 8 per cent., while clergy
men, laborers, and polltlcans occupy the lowest
positions on the list. Women of means are the
most numerous class among the females, 43 per
cent.; followed by wires of medical men, 10 per
cent. In Germany there are entire villages
whose inhabitants nre addicted to tbe use of
tbe drug, but the general belief that the nior-
fblno habit is more extensively practiced In
'arts than In nny othor city Is contradicted.

TnEHTON, N. J March 0. Gov. Voorhces will
this week nppolnt a chief of the Bureau of La
bor and Statistics, five mombors of the Stato
Board ot Arbitration, and six doputy factory
Inspectors, offices which wcro left to him as a
legacy by Gov. Griggs. Tho places aro sine
cures, with fair salaries. Tho chief gels a sal
ary of $2,300, tho arbitrators $1,200 oacb, nnd
tbo factory Inspectors 91,000 each. For the
dozon placer thero have been moro than a hun
dred persistent applicants. William S. Sharp,
formerly a newspaper publisher In Salem county;
Senator Samuel D. Hoffman of Atlantic, ex
Assemblyman Samuel Bullock, and J.
P. McDonnell ot Paterson, Col. B. A.
Lee of Elizabeth, and ex-Senator Isaao
T. Nichols are tho principal candidates for Chief
of the Labor Bureau. Some ono told Mr. Sharp
to get ths Indorsement of tho newspaper men ot
the State, as it would go further with Gov.
Voorhces than anything elso; nnd Mr. Sharp
has a petition a yard long wltb many signa
tures. Gov. Voorhees has been bo long In publlo
life that he knows bowoasylt Is to get signa
tures to any kind of a petition, and ho has been
making a quiet inqnlry to learn how anxious
the petitioners aro to havo Mi. Sharp ap
pointed, and his Investigation will have an
Important bearing on the result. Mr. Sharp Is
over 70 years old, and tho friends ot tbo younger
candidates ueo thlB against htm. The first chief
of tho bureau, James Bishop, was about tho
samo age, and tho results of his administration
wcro unsatisfactory.
Tho Governor has given no intimation of his
Intentions, but Republican leaders beliore that
he will chooso Senator Hoffman for tbo place,
as a roward for an Important service to the
party ln 1803. That was tho year the Race
track bill was passed and the Democrats wero
In control in both bouses. Senator Hoffman's
seat was contested by a Democrat, and the race
track men wanted somo Republican votes to
pass their bill. They made overtures to Hoff
man, who rejected them, but later two long
headed friends of Gen. Sew ell went to
the Senator and Induced blm to vote for tho
Racetrack bill in order to savo his scat.
They had figured that the Senato of 1891 would
'be close and Hoffman's vote would be noeded.
Subsequent events proved their estimate was
correct, as Hoffman's vote gave the Republicans
control of tho Senate in 1894, and. as tbey had
oarrledtbe House, they wero enabled to begin
to pass tho party legislation needed. Senator
Hoffman was undor a cloud for a year or two,
as bis action was never publicly explained. Re-
?ubllcans who know of nls sacrifice aro urging
bo Governor to reward him now. Gov. Voor
hoes was a Senator at tbe tlmo and Is familiar
with tbe facts.
The Ilou.e will adlourn to-morrow evening
until Wcdnesdaj morning In order to allow tbo
country members to take part ln tha township
elections on Tuesday. The Senate has not et
decided whether it will follow suit, but ns there
are threo public hearings set down for Tuesday
the chances are lhat tbe .Senate wlllnottakua
recess. At noon there Is to be u bearing on
Senator Daly's bill to prohibit tho adulteration
of molasses and othor products, and also on
Senator Francis's bill making illegal the uso of
trading stnmps. Thu lutter bill will probably
exclto more interest thnn any other beforo the
I eglslaturc. nnd the small merchants and their
friends are bringing pressure to bear on tbo leg
islators to support tho bill, wbile the trading
stamp concerns, tea companies, nnd wholesale
dealers aro emplov lng Ian ) crs to show that tho
proposed law would be unconstitutional as an
Invasion of personal rights.
Tuesday afternoon there will be a hearing on
Senator Kotcbam'a bill to abolish tbo feo sys
tem of compensating County Clorks, Registers,
and Surrogates and establish a graded scheme
of salaries, based on the population ot tho coun
ties. These vary from 81,500 for the little
county of Cape May to S7.S00 for Essex and
Hudson counties. Tho bill comes from Essex
county, wbero it was Indorsed and mudo a pnrt
of its platform by tho Republican County Com
mittee last rail. No ono except tho officials
know just what tho olllcea am worth now, but
it is believed that in Essex and Hudson tho fees
amount to between $13,000 und $'JO,tit)0 a year,
and in Passaic, Mercer, Union, und Monmouth
to 810,000 to lii,O0O. It order to prevent co
oper t on between the twenty-one Sheriffs of
tbo&lal- to old tho other county ofllcors in de
feating tho bill, tho Sheriffs nro not included,
but it is the understanding that if tho Ketcham
bill goia through the Sheriffs will bo attacked
licit. The Ketcham bill does not apply In per
sons now In ofllce, hut will to their successors.
Both houses will belli session until 'ihursday
this week, which is an indication thnt the end
of the Bcstton approichc. Another indication
is tho conferences between tho Appropriations
committees of tho two houses to deride on the
amounts to bogivrn to the various departments
during 18U!. Morris Plains nnd Trenton Mate
