0 'Lsfe Aft ,TEe Ife&iniadl J Capital ?"ine days out of ten I would rather M lo Charlotte, interviewing William Gondii, a ' prohibitionist from JJii worth, or. writing up one of Osmond L. Barrlnrer's og flights than to e ' ere writing about Congressmen, the President. the Vice President and other high-mucklty-mucks. Tiiere la everlasting; freshness In William, the local anti-saloon - advocate, and the fighting bull terrier, but there Is an palling monotony at the capital of the nation -with Taft in the lead for the Republican nomination, Bryan with the Democratic party In -his vest pocket, and Congress afraid to . act. Day after day I 4eat about the beau tjful city, trying to find something . newsy, something exciting, something . interesting; but each and every night I retire feeling that I had not earned Ihy salary. The arrival of a North Carolinian In Washington Is an event In the life of the Tar Heel correspon dent, who Is looking for something locaL something out of the ordinary. something that will do to print. Dull ness fills the atmosphere; The-Sen- ate and Hs House are going- to pass . some sort of financial bill; that is the only hope of legislation. Uncle Joe is as gay and as chipper as a sun beam, but he knows tils business when appointing committees or presiding over, the House. Ho Is pleasant to look upon and fascinating to the stu dent of human nature. There are others, but, .barrltig-'a half-dozen In the Senate and twic ihat number In the House, one cares very little for the Congressmen from tho viewpoint of a newspaper man, The Capitol guide Is a never-ending source of amusement to me. I like to use -him with hi covey, marohlng : here and there, letting his mind run back and wagging his tongue. He Is all smiles and bows from the tlmo he contracts to show the visitors around until he turns them loose Haying pointed ou: the wonders of the - corridors and the rotunda, he marches to the Supreme Court, lifts his hat,, tips In by the doglng door keeper, t.' ho pulls tno chord as he nods, and beckons to his party to fol low quietly. In whispers he tells of the learned men of the bench. An aneodote goes with eaoh. The gal leries of Congress Is where he Is at k his best. "That's Uncle Joe, the Speaker of the House, In the chair," declares the guide as he points to the gentleman from Illinois. "He's about the livest wire '-In this country; seventy-two years, as live as a cricket and as foxy - aa reynard himself. Everybody looka . for Uncle Joe; .he's the cock of the walk. ' Born In North Carolina, he took a run to the Wabash when two years old. Rather remarkable man , look at his ruby cheexs, his cunning smiles and his red carnation. That's Uncle Joe every day in the year." "Where Is Mr. Longworth?" asks a thln-vlsaged lady In a piping voice. "Who, madam?" "Mr, Longworth, Miss Alice Roose velt's husband V TfOh, Nick Longworth let me see, let me see." . , "All that I remember about him Is 'that he has a bald head," added the inquisitive woman. "Yes, yes, and I was, just looking for that bald head," said the guide, thoughtfully. "Yonder it Vs." said the guide, real izing that Representative Longworth j was not in the Hou, as he pointed j to Mr. Ollle James, the largest Deno-i eratln Congress. That's him, look at his tower.' asl whit and hairless as an. egg. that's Nick." yei' Democratic side 7" asked the mu of the party." ' "Just stepped over there to speak to friend. ,1 guess," said the guide. Making haste to change the subject the pilot continued The man there with his hand to his ear; is John Sharp John Sharp Williams, the .brilliant little minority leader. He caa make any of them quit when It comes to a debate, "Over on the far side, the small, gray-haired man, vilh blue eyes and quiet manners. Is Judge DeArmond, who had a fight with John Sharp W illiams. . He's the scrappiest man In the House." Seeing that this particular guide has about all that he can do. I asked him to tell me the secret of his suc cess. "Why.' I never fail to give the Infor mation desired. If Nick Longworth is not In when the ladies ask to have him pointed out, I turn to Ollle James, of Kentucky, or some other fine-looking bald-headed man. I never say that the man desired Is not there. One of the most popular social functions here every winter Is the "Southern Relief Charity Ball." It has been given for fifteen years. This year It was held on the tenth floor of the . New Wlllard. Tickets of admis sion, cost 13 apiece and they admitted those who held them to the dance hall and permitted them to dance and par- take of the elaborate supper provided. Having had the good fortune to get two. tickets. I went to this ball. The crowd was composed largely of South erners. Several thousand tickets were sold this year. The rarge hall of the New Wlllard was full of men and wo men In theif best clothes. Everyone who could, and desired to do so, was dancing. Several hundred couples were on the flaoj" at one tlmeAmong the numbers danced were: a two step. "Dixie;" waltz, "Language of Flowers;1' polka, "Honey Boy;" i waltz. "Dream of Pearls;" two-step, "Powhatan's Daughter;" waltz, "Dreaming;" polka, "Dixie Blossoms;" waltz. "Wiener Maed;" two-step. "Thomas Jefferson:" waltg. "Jolly Widow;" polks, "Bye-Bye, Dearie;" and waits, "School Days." I met some fascinating peoplo there. North Carolinians were in evidence. I saw one Tar Heel.weman who wore a 11.000 gown, and It was beautiful and becoming. Mr. Zach McGhee, Jiis wife and sister-in-law were there, chaperoned by Representative Wyatt Aiken, of South Carolina.- Colonel Aiken had on his best suit tnat night, and looked excep tionally Veil, and was In fine mood. Somew here in his rounds he met a pleasant old citizen or Philadelphia, and presented me to him as th Wash ington correspondent of The Charlotte Observer , and The London Times. There was so much noise that I could not deny the allegation about The Times, and the HentiK-:vanlan got me tiered and for thirty minutes In terrogated me about the recent sale of the famous English paper. Having read f.hat William K. Curtis had to say about that Imporrant deal. I was loaded to the teeth, and every time the eld gentleman rame with a question I was ready with an answer; seeing that I could not backstep I humored the joke and he may never know any better. Colonel Alk-n. Is one of the attractive chnracter or the House. He wears a suit ef South Carolina jeans, looks afier his constituents, remembers his enemies and jollies everybody. He Is a man of ponder ous parts. , The charity ball proved to be most reeable. I never learned to dance, when a boy. now J am torv old and iff; but my tongue la still nimble, and. good-lsoklng women make It WSg. Thursday' right the President arid Mrs. Roosevelt received in honorVf the Justices of the Cjpreme Court. I west and bad a good tune abook the hand of the President, saw Missj Alice, Mrs. Roosevelt, the members of the Cabinet, their wives, a number of foreigners In their gay togs, the Justices and their ladles, as well as many other Interesting people. Among those with, whom 1 snook was. Mr. John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, who was there in all of his glory. The White House receptions teach many Interesting, lessons. I havej learned mat ll pays to do poor now and then. Those who put en airs and go in carriages to these state recep tions are last to get In and last to get out. whlle the street car riders have the advantage. It Is a case of the first shall be last and the last shall e first: S was at homo and asleep Thfurtkayhlght when the car riage -callers got their vehicles. Mrs. Longworth, formerly Miss Alice, was the chief attraction, as she was at the diplomatic reception. She should be put upon a throne so every one could see and admire her here. Nick Is seen too often, but Alice not often enough. RED BUCK. Washington, D. C. GLADYS' $75,000 TROUSSEAU.

How we all do want to see It mean that $75,000 wedding trousseau that Gladys Van derbllt has bought for herself, ' How I would like to finger It all over, fon die it, bury rgy wmi to the very ehoul ders in it!, ' 1 i Well, I did manage to get a list of all the pretty, dainty things in the 119.000, 000 heiress' outfit and don't even whisper it I actually had Just a peek at the wedding dress, the gor geous $10,000 gown in which Miss Vanderbilt will stand when she changes her name to Countess Szech- enyl. And, oh, Joy, it was a Worth creation of the most exquisite pat tern, the most beautiful finish, the most well, superlatives fail me. At - the Irish exposition Miss Van derbilt purchased -the loveliest set of Irish point lace. It Is said to be the rarest known to be in existence. Worth has used ' this lace upon the wedding gown. The set constats of two cuffs and a collar, made 200 years ago by the nuns of Youghal, County Cork. The work la done 600 threads to the Inch, some of it being so fine that magni fying glass Is necessary to make the traceries visible. Twelve years were required to complete the set. The only other set of the kind Is now the property of Queen Alexandra of England, having been at one time one of the- most highly prized posses-' slona of the late Queen Victoria. The wedding gown is, of course, the most elaborate article In the trous seau, although the following list indi cates that the lavish daintiness so dear to woman's heart will be para mount throughout: dosen tailor . suits, Including Paquin.

Government Deposits Frout Banks. New York. Jan. Sfi. The feature of the financial situation last week was the continued rush of funds back Into the reserve deposits of the ban.a. with ex hausted effect, however. In stimulating any strength in the market for securi ties, ine returning nood or money to reserves was perceptible In the foreign money centres aa well as here nnd whs effective In forcing down the official dlsr count rates of the Bank of England, the Bank of France and. the Imperial Bank of Germany, and the open market rates in all markets. . CALL LOAM RATE NOMINAL. Notwithstanding this decline in the attraction for money abroad the price has risen strongly towards the rate at which exports of gold would be profit able. The - growing redundancy of our money market has been responsible for thin ection. Supplies have prensed upon the New York loan market with increas ing tirgency, carrying the call lonn rate d'.vn to almost nominal figures and re ducing the interest rates on time loans to figures lower than were mluyrfd fct any time last year. The remaliing is- of New York clearing house loan etretinates has, as a consequence, hi en going lto rapid retirement. The ivp'd c.isliig of the money market"- luis not b:n effected by the notice of wit'idra at o: $10,000,000 of government !op.Hlts trout the New York banks, partiy -cause of the large current deficit in the govirnment revenues, but also by veunn r-t the accumulation of funds bein.r moie ruvnz u an me oemnna to take tnni up. This Is mado manlfent by the he-AW t.de of bank nrtes out of the circuit I'm cf the country, reflected In the cu.reni re demption of these lesues at the United Sta Treasury . and by the r.)wlnif movem-jnl on the pnrt of the buiiKn tj retire them by moans of depit't of law ful money with the t'anlted Htat-s Tre ury. The inferences sre plain th.tt the neavy imports or Jieo.OUO.OOiJ of 1oregi gold and the rapid Issue of over fvf'OO.Oi) nutional bank notes, ivhi'-h followed ihe runs on the banks Inst tall, to hj i th ing of the various emerJConi.y t.Kiii-s rf clearing ho'io c-ittllicales, nre now prov ing redundant In th -oun s "irciiin t'or. Such a result 'n the Inva r.ble eq :ence of financial i.anlc ns eoon ck normal conditions of confidence in the banks again to re-etablish thernselvex. The development was foreseen with such confidence that speculative operations In the securities mnrketa had been largely concluded In anticipation of the event. DECREASE OF BANK CLEARINGS. In addition to this normal tendency to wards reaction there has been some re newfd Influence of depression In the con templation of some of the after effnets of the financial crisis now passed. The weigni ana volume or me return now of funds to banking reserves" are. In them selves, eloquent of the contraction of the needs of the circulation and the shrinkage In commercial and Industrial activity. . Other aigns are abundantly corroborative. Decreawe of bank clear ings are the rule the country over. Kali road earninrs nave fallen off to a de cree that brinfs Into nuestlnn tha rata of future distribution on securities with contingent naoiiittes. while even fixed liabilities are brought Into doubtful te rurity In the case of some oC the weaker properties. ' Advices from the Iron and steel trade show a condition of practii-al paralysis to have ensued upon the financial crisis although some moderate resumption is reported to have occurred since. The report to be published on Tuesday of this week, of the earnings of the United States steel comorntlon for tho n, ending December 31st, Is awaited, never theless, with soma solicitude, and the showing to be made for the current quarter is also a subject of anxious Sur mise. HOPE FOR EARLY IMPROVEMENT. Notwithstanding the actual existence of conditions Indicating this heivy cor trection of prosperous activity there Is not lacking evidence of hope In early Improvement. The Increasing aoundance of money resources u looked lo as an effective help to this revival. The doubt ful element on th side of the money situation Is suggested by the continued disposition of large corporations to finance their requirements with -short tlm obligations, on which alo the in terest rate. Is kept high notwithstanding the material reduction of rates oi ordl nary lonns. The Implication of Impair ment of credit for p'lrnone of corpora tion borrowing or unrelieved scarcity of capital supplies for line in fixed Invest ments makes one of tlm Conservative In fluences In the halting tendency which was the feature of the week in the tnar- MAGAZIXE REVIEWS; The Century Magazine' for Febru ary,, the midwinter, number, eaellv measures up to the high standard of excellence set Dy that magazine.

No magazine of the month presents a more attractive table of contents than The American for ' February. Mr Dooley discourses in his, inimi table style on "Hard Times;" Kay Stftnnard Baker writes a most read able and ' significant article on the condition of the negro of the North, under the head, "The Color Line In tho North." The article on "Lin coln's Boyhood." by Eleanor Atkin son, will be of much Interest: and the photograph of Gutzon Borglum's sculptured head of Lincoln Is re markable. , Upton Sinclair, .the ..Au thor of "The-Jungle." writes of his Impressions of social conditions in New York, under the title, "The Metropolis." Ida Tarbelf. famous as the historian of Standard Oil, con tributes an article on "Roosevelt and Rockefeller." These are only a few of the large number of Interesting articles In The American for Febru ary. .McClure's for February presents a largo number of Interesting contri butions. Georgine Mllmine con tinues the absorbingly Interesting scries of articles on Mrs. Eddy and Christian Science; Dr. William James' discussion of "The Social Value of the College-Bfed" is alone worth many times the price of the mspazlne. Few articles have ap peared that are of more interest both to the casual reader and the his torian of contemporary events than the chapter from the autobiography of Ellen Terry. A dozeaother con tributions of interest are contained! In this number. DON'T TAKE CHANCES ' There are several men in this town whd are wishing they had had us make their winter clothes. ' .
