Springer made a most spirited and
successful defence of Commissioner
Black, and Reed was only able to get
even by a quip, which caused a
laugh at the expense of the very posi

Black was not carrying out the civil
service policy.
Kumors from time to : time that
Gen. R. B. Vance was preparing to
stand for the nomination .for Con'

circulated. It has been said that this
must be so, because he has offered;
for sale his residence here and sent his
children to Asheyille. But these two
facts are hot in themselves conclusive
evidence of such intention. There is,
however, a general belief here that

TOE RfiTORPASSED HER BIT
Comiit,uniou Denied to Bliss Maye
at the Elisabeth, 9T. J., Christ
Church.
New lork World.
The Rev. H. H. Oborly, rector of
Christ church, "Elizabeth, N. J., is in
hot water with ' his congregation.
Reports are current cf n scene last
Sunday- in Christ church when he
refund communion to Mies Mayo, a
member of the church. . It is said the
lady wept bitterly when he passed
her by without administering the
sacrament This is not the first time
he has doi.e the same thing, It is
stated that he has refused to give
Miss Mayo communion since the time
an altercation arose between them
and she struck the pastor. The af
fair was published at the time in the
World.
. Miss Mayo is a lady of refinement,
and is a member of a well known
family of Richmond, VaM and a niece
of the late Gen. Winfic Id Scott. Her
brotherMn-law, Gen. Qracie, wag a
distinguished officer in the Confed
ate army. : Miss Mayo is a devout
church goer, and Is noted for works
of chanty. She dresses in a rather
eccentric way, and it is said can be
found kneeling at the church door
long before the doors of the edifice
are opened. The quarrel between the
pastor and herself has had many ver
sions, but the following, from an in
timate friend of the lady told to the
World reporter, is considered the
most reliable;
He states Miss Mayo went to the
church and entered the vestry to get
a silver plate belonging to her. which
was lying beside the baptismal fount.
Rev. Mr. Oberly was in the vestry.
When she reached her hand for the
plate he pushed it to one side and
said she could not have it. She became
indignant at this, whereupon h,e or
dered $be sexton to put "her ; out.
When "that worthy attempted to
place his hand on her arm Miss Mayo
gave him a violent push back. He
stumbled and fell oyer a coal sputtle
The rector made a motion which she
construed into an intention to strike
her. She instnntjy took th aggres
sive and struck him with her hand,
in which she held a hymnal. She
then abruptly left the church. On
the following Sunday the pastor in
giving communion passed her by.
MJ asked the minister why this was
done," said the gentleman who nar
rated the above story,' "and he
haughtily replied, Oh, we've ex
communicated her.' I was puwled
to know," said the gentleman,
"where the authority was given tho
rector to excommunicate , anybody' i
for such an offense without consult'
ing his superiors." i
- It is only a short time ago that Mr.
Oberly removed M, r. Colburn, the
bUnd organigt, who had served the
phurch in that capacity over thirty
years. This caused , a "commotion,
and intensified the dissatisfaction
against the ; rector. The. congrega
tion of Ohriafc church; includes the
most aristocratic people of Elizabeth.
Tfte rupture between the rector and a
portion of his flock is serious, and
growing wider daily.

The nuptial ceremony in the White
House among' other happy results
has set at rest that abstruse problem
m the social economy of the Execu
tive household which has been agi
tating Washington since tile instal
lation of the widowed President
Arthur in, the place of the murdered
arneld. There had been widowed
Presidents before. The wife of Jef
ferson had died nearly twenty years
before her husband became President
Their highlv cultivated and A!)llf.l fill

was overwhelmed into eternal Bl.r
just before her husbanu's inaueura-
tion by he foul slanders bon
tisan malice and heaped upon the
idol of her heart, the
of Pensacola and New Orleans. Her
two nieces. Mrs, Andrew IDnnol
and Mrs. Andrew Jackson jr., did
the honors of the White House dur
ing those stormy j,imes of, political
antagonisms and social and domenrm
scandals. Angelica Singleton Van
Buren, a dark-eyed beauty of South
Carolina, the wife of the son nf M at,'
tin Van Buren, was advanced to the
place of presiding lady, the1 rightful
occupant of that place; having been
dead fully twenty years when that
scion of Knickerbocker blood entered
upon the duties of Chief Ma sriat.rnto
The death of the first Mrs Tyler in
the White House caused tho "
duties of the early part of the ad-
iniaiBiraDion to devolve upon the
wife of the President's son. That
high functionary later conferred that
honor unon Julia Gardner I nf nv.t
York, br makiner that

adorned the social environments of
James Buchanan in his high office of
President. i
In those days of . eleerant manners
and regard for social conventionalities-
and proprieties among the high
born and cultured ladies Wnrtih r-5nnri
South, who were the leaders ojsocie-
tb capital, this question of the
fi8 lafty of the land, the Pairtflnt
not having a wife, was never mnntwi
No one doubted the right of toe-Pres
ident to invest some lady member of
his family a daughter, a sister or a
nieoe with the domestic arid social
prerogatives of his high station. - It
was during the caDtivatirisr snf.ial
reign of Mary Arthur McElrov. the
petite and pretty sister of President
Arthur, that Blue Grass statesmen
ana dames undertook to force this
heretical doctrine into the social
forms of official life. The w ife of the
Speaker was exalted as the first lady
of the land, and held a rump court at
one of the hotels. ! i
The inauguration of Groyer Cleve
land revived this vigorous contro
versy in a more formidable shape. In
the administration of President Ar
thur there was simply a President
pro tem. of the Senate, then in the
line of succession to the Executive
office.hut whose wife was ah invalid,
and upon which frail assumption the
wife cf the Speaker aspired to tEre
honors of reigning queen. The elec
tion of Thomas A. Hendricks as Vice
President placed the wife of that
omcer next in line m the van of the
aspiring fashion- of the feminine
world of the great government. Mrs.
Hendricks, had made the! appoints
ment of the rugged "Joe'' McDonald
a political impossibility, and when
Miss Rose Cleveland took her place
as the presiding lady of the White
House notice was served against her
assuming social precedence as first
lady of the land. I
President Cleveland, with an exhi
bition of sagacity in fine points of
etiquette surpassed only by; the deli
cate sensibilities displayed in his
love, courtship and marriage, clipped
the wings of this threatened rebellion
in the social world by giving to the
late Miss Katharine Bayard, the
daughter of his Secretary jof State,
the place of precedence next to Miss
Cleveland at the initial levee held
under the auspices of his administra
tion. The wife of the Vice President
was ignored as a claimant not only
to the post of first lady, but even of
he honors of the first social enter
tainment. , f (
The act of January 19,l888.'the
firet act" on - the American statute
bookjs to lay down t distinejl order of
official precedence, designating the
Secretary of gtate and after him, in
specified order, the other members
of the Uabmet as the respective sue
ceesors to the Presidentalj office, in
event of the demise of the . President
and Vice.. President, disposes of all
pretensions of the wife ot the Speaker
to the social honor of being1 the First
Lady in the Land The marriage of
the President has settled, the new
social problem, as to whether the rule
cif preoedenoe applicable to the CabK
net successors to the political preroga
tives of the Presidential office,in event
of a vacanfjy, would not extend to
the ladies of their families. ! Had the
President not married., the Secretary
of State, being a widower, Mrs. Man
ning, the wife of the Secretary5 of the
Treasury, would have had claims to
social recognition which the wife of
the Speaker nsver had. by statute,

A bright little five year old boy
was visitihg his father, who belonged
to a Nw York regiment, in gamp.
One day as he was -playing before
his father's tent, he was accosted in
a pleasant way by a sprucely dressed
solViier; ; He was accustomed to be
ing noticed, a child in camp being a
great luxury, but from this soldier he
showed evident sfgns of moving
away. ' 1
"Come here, my little man," said
the officer. . ;
The discerning child replied:' "I
don't want to; you are a doctor; I
know you are a doctor." ;
"You are mistaken; come here, I
am no doctor" m : .
: But the little fellow only put hia
head out of the tent far enough to
