TERE IS

NO OTHERWOMAN

IN THIgcountry, as everybody knows, who has memany admirers as Mrs. Cleveland. The ladywho is to oosupy the White House again afterthe 4th of March has made herself as muchworshiped in New York as she ever was inWashington. Naturally not a few of her womenfriends imitate her in various ways. Some ofthem copy her gowns, her taste being alwaysperfection, and in all sorts of other mattersthey tab. pattern after her, even to the caps shechooses for httle Baby Roth.

Quite recently a woman or some fashion inthis metropolis became dissatisled with her ownmethod of doing her hair. She was told by afriend that such a little fringe of hair as MrsCleveland has around the beck of her neck,ferming cunning waves and curie. would be ex-

esedingly becoming to herself. Accordingly,she made up her mind to adopt the suggestion,a' with this end in view, she set out to huntup M Cleveland's hairdresser. She was sofortunate as to discover in the drat expert towhom she applied the very person wbom shesought. In response to her inquiry he said:

sUE POumN a:."Yea, madame; I hat se honnaire to be xc

hairdresser of Mrs. Cleveland. Ever since shehas been in New York I hat had se entirecharge of her head. Whenever she goes outfor as evening I am called to attend to hercoiffure. It will gif me so grand plessurs todecorate madame's head in ae manner whichshe describes.'The new customer, with the utmost cona-

dince in the expectation of a beautifying re-sat, submitted herself to the hands of theoperator, who soon accomplished what was re-quired of him."Ah, madame. it is beautiful!" he exclaimed,

after administering the snai touches, assumingas he spoke an attitude expressive of eestatieadmiration. "Permit me to congratulate youupon se scneess of my work. Hoa diem! eatmakes a resemblence to Mrs. Cleveland so pro-nounced sat from se beck view one would mis-taue you for herseit"

TuE asuxLT.The lady, by viewing herself between two

msirrors, tried to get.a notion of the effect, butshe found it inspoeible to satisfy herself of the.acesm of the experiment. On reaching homeshe found her knaband there, and his criticismwas very promsptly given. It is hardly neceesaryto say thatabhe had not censatted him me to theesperisasent which she was gemag to make,thuhshe had ateat hait the effect

. and by-laws and thelumber dealer havemade progress in the

- same direction. Tb.nim of ths. organisa-Minen, as is the case in other cities wher theyexist, is to protect the members in their busi-mass in every respect. The fact that nothing of

the sort existed here may be taken as an indioa-lies fat conditions of busines have changedeery aieriellyduring the past few years Theoily has grown se large that it is aeceeary toadopt metropolitan sustoms. It is no longerpossible to have a personal knowledge of alluestemie as business has so expanded that the

autaber engaged in building, for example, hasguite passed beyond the boundsofanyone man'sor even Arm's acquaintance. This as the primeremaon why theae organizations have beeneffected, for unless there was a strong necesestyaen would not give up any portion of theirpersonal liberty, as as required when they handthemeiveetogether. For example, the mem-bers of the brick makers' exchange agree tomaintain a certain schedule of prices and theyfurther agree not to Interfere one with theother in a contract. On the other hand theyare given the power to ask a bond from onewho proposes to become a purchaser and whohas not a recognized credit. In other wordsthe objects among other things is "to protectits members from loss through unserupuloesbuyers; to secure a uniform remuneration forthe products of its members and to secureuityof action in all matters that may benefitthe trade.

Tas 5.u mrca Fox BRICKs.The schedule of prices agreed upon for

bricks is the same as has prevailed here,namely, $7 per thousand for what is known asmierchantable brick. This rate however, waseat under to some extent during t e ptas seasonswing to the competiton arising from the In-erease in the number enage in the manufact-ore of brick. The establishment of new bricksraking plants has been quite common for aev-eral years past, growing out of the activity inbuilding. There are eighteen corporations,irms and individuals engaged in the manufac-ture of the brick which is used in this city.As Is well known this is essentially a brick cityand It may be said that there is nowhere madea superior brick than is produced in this city.From the time the foundations of the Capitolbuilding was laid down to the present, a trigeever a century, there has been no period whenthe manufacture of brick was not going onbore. It may be said that perhaus the most ofthe clay removed in bringing the site of the citySown to grade has been made into bricks. Brickrards have existed in nearly every portion ofthe city, and no doubt it will be surprising tohean that of the eighteen plants now in opera-lion which furnish the present supply one-thirdare located within the old municipal limits ofthe city. Perhaps it is not generally knownthat there are now six brick yards in operationwithin the city limits. but such is the case.tome of them can rank with the antiquities ofthe town, as they have been in the same localityIeyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant.Of the total number of plants eight arelocated in Virginia, as a role just beyond the

Long bridge. The remaining ten are eitherwithin the city limits or just outside. Thearse plants are of course all outside the boundsif the city.

iongregation of the Calvary Baptist Churchsave under consideration a project for on-arging the seating capacity: of their church.)ne of the plans proposed is to erect adjoininghe church edifice a building to be used by thelunday school, which has a very large member-'hip.

HERE ARE 811large railroad stationsis Lilpsie. The Ther-ringian hhabo-r, whichIs entered by al trainesing free the south-west, lies same distancefrom the center of thetown. Quite a perform-ance must be gonethrough with before a

traveler can get a car-

riag. A dign!6edomcialgiveseach person

a numbered brass check. This is passed on toa policeman, and after a little waiting the car-ringe corresponding to the check is found.The streets of Leipsio are well lighted, broadand in excellent condition. During the longdrive to the hotel one eatchesglimpss of deeplyshaded parks and promenades, of open squaressurrounded by handsome buildings and ofouricus old alleyways. At last the hotel isreached and we are comfortably settled by theaccommodating "porticr."

TEE EUnOPEA3 MOTEL Poavian.What an invaluabie person a hotel "portier"

is! Apparently he sleeps in his uniform, as beis always on duty when wanted. Hie speaksfreWently six or eight languages. and knowsins actively the natonahty of guests, whetherthey arrive in broad sunlight or in the dark-ness of night. The portier knows every pointof interest in the place. can tell exactly whattime trains depart or arrive, makes out billswith great promptness and, notwithstandinghis gay uniform. accepts gratefully any "gift"He personally superintends the arrangementsfor the departure of guests and politely wishesthem a good journey as he assists theminto thecarriage.

Portior often accumulate a good deal ofmoney in their years of service and sometimesare thesieves owners of hotels. Occasionallya proprietor findsjt more profitable to be hisown "portier." A party of friends stopping ata quaint inn in Dresden last winter were quiteastonished to find that the proprietor, pottier.head waiter, serving man and omnibus driverwere one and the same perron. Usually, how-ever. the proprietor of a European hotel Is aquiet, well-drewed man, who is very attentiveto the wants of his guests. Every morning hemakes the round of the dining room *hile thebreakfast is tieing eaten and greets each personwith a courteous "guten morgen."
