A "SOCIAL WAR" OX AT CAPITA Wives of Members of Congress ) Wives of Cabinet Members. Washington. Nov. 16.?Feeling b tween the wives of the members 1 the House of Representatives ai the wives of the Cabinet membe has become so bitter that a serioi situation exists?so serious, in fac that it has aroused the anxiety of tl Administration leaders, includii President Wilson himself. The trouble has been brewing ev since the wives of the members 1 Mr. Wilson's Cabinet announced la Mao* that on account of the gre number of members of the Hou - - - J - tl 41 they had decided not to can on u wives of the Representatives. Sen tors' wives were not included in tb "ban." That made it worse; and 1 did the refusal of Mrs. Marshall, wi of the Vice President, to omit th Congressional calls. Mrs. Marsh: called on every Congressional "Mrs before her husband had been mu< more than six months in office. Indignation in the Texas deleg ; ' tion in the House became acute r eently, when the wife of Represent tiye Slayden learned, by a dire question and answer, that Mrs. Dav F. Houston, wife of the Secretary Agriculture, who had been her friei for years, considered herself bout by the May agreement not to vis Mrs. Slayden. The ladies of tl Texas delegation have met and d cided not to call 011 the Cabinet 1 dies, and it is reported that the Co gressional Club, composed of' tl wives of both Representatives ai Senators, will not give the usual r eeption in honor of the Cabinet mer hers* wives and daughters.

Nov. 16.?Several e f j months ago there arrived in Chester^ ! field a pleasant mannered gentleman by the name of J. R. King, who, it rs =>? ? was said, hailed from Georgia. LearnLIS . ing of the local demand for a white ie barber., he opened a shop in the Cato ^ Hotel building, and from the first did a rushing business. Finding that er his business required a larger build^ ing he persuaded several of the b'usi. ness men here to put him up a neat St j. two-story brick building, right next ^ to the Chesterfield Mercantile Comse 3e pany, and in his new quarters he was a_ assisted by his wife, and both were ^ much liked by their patrons. Imagine PQ everj' one's surprise Monday morn'I ing to find that the town had lost its barbers, and also some of the patrons .. were shv some razors, etc. In ad1I1 dition to this the rent on the nice new ^ building was unpaid for the month of October. a_ The ticket agent of the railroad ^ was consulted and it was found that etwo tickets had been purchased to . Coburn. Va. A deputy was immediately sent to bring Mr. King back to _ his former scene of activities. When of the deputy arrived at Coburn, King j was just ready to board the same train for some other point. Upon the j: arrest the people of the Virginia village, which is King's native town, all crowded around and told the depa uty that he could not take King back k with him. After much arguing the deputy accepted a cash bond of $100 and returned without his man. The elocal citizens are now all having to ndig out their safeties or patronize the old reliable colored barbers. Gets Money but No Apology. rd Lexington, Nov. 12.?A verdict for $200 was returned by a Lexington ie county jury in common pleas court to today in the case of Walter J. Mcin Cartha against the Southern Railway er company. This was one of the most as ! unusual cases ever tried in the courts is of this State, according to attorneys n, interested in the case. The plaintiff is alleged that he was insulted by the e- ticket' collector, when he asked to lg purchase a paper, taking the ticket ie collector for the "news butch" by j. mistake. He said that the collector cursed him and otherwise humiliated th him in the presence of both white and i_ negro passengers. Mr. McCartha said in that after he had been insulted and. when the collector approached him e- for his mileage he stated to the train jy man that he was honestly mistaken; rs that he thought that he was the iy "news butoh," and that he thought e_ that he, the plaintiff, was due an ip apology from the collector, whereup2e on the collector again abused the e- plaintiff and refused to make the 1(j apology. The plaintiff testified that he then refused to allow the collec to tor to "pull" ftis mileage ana laier p> gave it to the conductor. The ticket Id collector denied that he had intenie tionally or otherwise insulted the ,r_ plaintiff; that the plaintiff did ask to d_ purchase a paper and that he told him he was not the news "butch," n_ but that the news butch would be n_ around shortly. George B. Cromer of ip counsel for the railroad gave notice QS of a new trial, which will be argued is later. The plaintiff asked for $1,ie ^00. Deeply Interested. { The marriage of Miss Inez Milr holland reminded a Philadelphia suffragist of an anecdote about the 1a ^ . . fair young propagandist. "Miss Mil holland was speaking," she said, "to the women of the East er * Side. She spoke on female suffrage, rp , and she looked, as usual, very :h ^ charming in one of those loose and vot nlinprin2'?looselv clina he i?- - ing?gowns of the new fashion. "At the end she said: 16 " 'And now, are there any questions? Anyone who has any questions to ask I shall be very much pleased to answer any question to the best of my ability,.' "A woman rose in the back of the . hall. ' " 'Well?' smiled Miss Milholland. A" ; " 'Would you please tell me. miss.' said the woman eagerly, 'where you get your corsets?'

Italy is still scratching to pay the cost of the war with Turkey over Tripoli. Bulgaria, Servia, Greece, Montenegro have bills of many millions to settle for their war with Turkey, and poor Turkey is about to bankrupt, with half its territory ^gone, wondering where the money is coming from. England, money is coming from. England, tiled of spending so much on dreadnoughts, calls for a halt. Japan struggles on under the burden of the Russian war debt. The high cost of war in men and money is the heaviest and perhaps the most needless tax humanity pays.?Baltimore Sun. HORNETS SPIKED A OLA. Mosby Failed to Capture a Supply Train Because of the Little Insects. Colonel John S. Mosby, commander of the Partisan Rangers, who gave such daring service in the Southern cause fifty years ago, is living now in the city of Washington. One of the really amusing incidents that passed under his notice during the war he told not long ago. In the summer of 1864, when General Phil Sheridan was in the valley of the Shenandoah, he found himself much harassed by Mosby, who was continually cutting off his supply trains. An army cannot fight on an empty stomach, and Mosby knew it. He also knew how, with his small force, to neutralize the strength of an army more than five time his number, for by rushing from point to point and making sudden attacks miles apart, he kept a large proportion of the Union troops in constant chase of him. One bright morning Mosby heard that a long supply train was winding its way down the valley. By noon the Rangers, in their gray uniforms, were gathered at the forks of the valley pike, watching for the head of the wagon train to appear. Presently a cloud of dust was seen rising far up the road, and, as the wind blew it aside, the Confederates caught sight of a line of men in blue escorting a caravan of lumbering wagons drawn by mules. Instantly Mosby gave the order to run a' little howitzer up on the side of a hill and unlimber it. As soon as the gun had opened fire the rest of the men were to make a calvary charge and throw the train into confusion. The Rangers jerked the gun into position and began to swab it out. Suddenly the man with the swab gave a shrill yell, seized the seat of his pantaloons, and fled down the hill and out into the road. Almost at the same moment the other man at the gun abandoned it. He .seemed to be fighting at the air as he disappeared over a stone wall. The sutler's wagons were creeping nearer and Mosby did not know what to think of such extraordinary conduct. He ordered four more men to the gun, but hardly had they reached it when they, too, yelled, began to beat the air madly with their hats, and took to flight. Spurring his horse over the stone wall, Mosby rode toward the gun but his stay was short. The howitzer stood just over a hornet's nest, and those busy insects werq resenting the intrusion, They had repelled the invaders on foot, and now they swarmed on Mosby's horse till the maddened animal tore off down the pike on a run. Then they turned their attention to the rest of the troop. Their attack was so vicious that the Rangers gave up any idea of standing by the gun. They scattered far and wide, and it was an hour before they returned. When they did, the wagon train had safely vanished in the distance. So the hornets saved the day for Sheridan.?Youth's Companion.

Wilmington, Del., Nov. 15.?Wil liam Reason and James Byard, tw< young negroes who were convicted o] breaking and entering two house! with the intent to commit larceny were whipped with twenty lashes each at the whipping post of the Nev Castle county workhouse Saturday They had been sentenced to fort] lashes and received 20 last Satur day. The agitation in congress over the cases of these two men attracted at tention to today's whipping and attendance of spectators was unusuall} large. Reason was led out and the 20 lashes applied to his back by War den Crawford, after which Byarc received his second installment. The two men scarcely flinched as th< "cat" was applied to their backs. Warden Crawford told inquirers he had never seen blood drawn since t>.o -n-Viirmin$r nnst hnri been * estab vuw ?i Mn/^^o ? lished at the workhouse. Several o: the witnesses said they approved o: a whipping such as they had jusl seen, as it inflicted no physical in jury and a mental reminder of punishment might prove more effective to some criminals than imprisonment. .
