PERSONALS. 
The Queen of Italy has astonished Europe 
by ordering a number of dresses from Dublin. 
Miss Gknena Armstrong, one of the 
teachers of music in Elmira (N. Y) College, has 
invented and patented a device for feeding and 
watering cattle while they are journeying in 
cattle cars. 
New York is still the Empire State! Con¬ 
gressman Hiscock, one of her “favorite sons,” 
received 111 ) votes in a beauty contest at a 
Washington photograph gallery recently, 
against HKl for Daniel, of Virginia, and 98 for 
McComas, of Maryland. 
It is said iu Washington that Secretary 
Endicott is the most icily unapproachable 
man in public life there, largely owing to the 
fact that he is unable altogether to rid himself 
ol a notion that he is still u Judge of the Su¬ 
preme Court of Massachusetts. 
Since his removal from office by the Presi¬ 
dent, Governor Murray, of Utah, has been 
almost overwhelmed in a flood of letters from 
all parts of the country expressing regret at 
t he event and appreciation of his work against 
the atrocities of Morinonisni. 
Senator James Ingalls, of Kansas, is 
described as manly, faithful, eloquent, thor¬ 
oughly American and thoroughly patriotic, 
scorning hypocrisy and destroying imposture. 
No Senator has a larger or more attentive 
audience He is witty, too, and ironical— 
especially ironical, and covertly sarcastic. 
The Cabinet is ailing: Sec. Manning has 
had a “stroke,” is very sick, and can hardly 
resume official duties for a long time, if ever. 
Attorney-General Garland is in quite poor 
health—a bad cold, probably aided by Pan- 
Electric worry. See. Lamar has been unwell, 
but is getting better now. Sec. Bayard is 
recovering from the shock of his late double 
bereavement.
