Rich Senators.

believe that the day will come when
the majority of the United States Senators will be
mllionaires, and will hold their seats by virtue of
the fact that they are millionaires. As I run my
eyes over the list ofSenators who will compose the
Senate after March f. 1851 pick out nearly twenty
Senators, each one of whom is worth more than
S500,00O The richest man in the Senate ofcourse,
will be Fair, of Nevada who is wo nth great many
millions. Probably he is worth as much as all the
other Senators together Next to him in estate,
suppose is Daxid Davis of Illinois, man who
has the reputation of having gathered millions.
Next to him it might be hard to name the Sena-
tor but if Mr.. Eugene Hale can be called the pos
SCISSOR of Zach Chambers millions, then he is very
likely to be the third richest Senator. The
new Senators will be conspicuous for their wealth
Miller, of California Malone, of Virginia, and
Sawyer of Wisconsin, are known to be worth more
than 81 100000 apiece. SeweI, of New Jersey, is
railroad man, and is reputed very wealthy John
Sherman, who is scarcely new Senator, gets the
credit of having more than 81 100000. Among the
present Senators who hold over, and who write
their fortunes with seven figures, are: Blaine, of
Maine; Cameron, of Pennsylvania; Davis, of West
Virginia, and Plumb, of Kansas. The following
are known to be worth more than $4,000: Hill,
of Colorado; Brown, of Georgia; Groome, of Mary
land Mcpherson, of New Jersey, and Pendleton,
of Ohio. Van Wyck, the new man from Nebraska,
must be rich for hefs reputed TO have paid $4,000
for his election. Many of the other Senators are
comfortable" Among those not already men
toned who possess at least 100000 apiece are Mer
rill, of Vermont; Anthony, of Rhode Island;
Conkling, of New York; Rollins, of New Hamp-
shire Jones, of Nevada (most Of the time}; Saun-
ders, of Nebraska Window. of Minnesota; Ferry,
of Michigan; Kellogg, of Chicago Louisiana);
Allison, of Iowa. Harrison, of Indiana, and Bay
ard, of Delaware. These names make up more
than one half the Senate, and they show that
riches and senatorships go together Washington

How the Police Captains or New York
Collect BIackaaIl.

DR.. Howard Crosby, of the Society for
the Prevention ofCrime, is very much sggrieYed
because the plans devised by himself and Superin-
tendent Walling for a wholesale pulling" of
gambling houses proved abortive the other day
At twelve o'clock midnight the four places marked
for pulling" were in full blast, and gambling of
every description was going ON. At one O'Clock,
when the descent was made not tool was to be
seen, and there were only one ortwo men lounging
about in each place. OF course the proprietors had
been informed of the contemplated police raids
Says DR.. Crosby: "There is only one thing to do.
That is to have police captains of better class and
higher morality, and pay them three times the
salary they now receive, so that they would not
take the risks of matchmaking. At present many
Of the police captains are of low moral character
The bribing is done in this way: The captains
who want to get an income from these places do
not go themselves; ifthey do it is to buster be
very brave, and to order the houses to be closed
but a woman goes into the place, and says to the
proprietor: Il am poor woman won't you help
me little The proprietor says: Yes, here, take
this, and gives her what those present suppose to
be 81 note. Instead of being 81 it is $50 Now
can you make anything out of this? Certainly not,
because he would say: Il have done nothing ex-
cept to assist poor woman little The woman
meets friend at a groggery, and this friend says:
Have you sold those goodS?' The woman re-
plies: Yes, and here is the money handing the
proprietor $40. The man goes to some official.
maybe sergeant, and says Here is that $50 you
loaned me- The next day the captain finds go in

but he puts it into his pocket. Then he is asked:
Did you ever take bribe?' He Indignantly an
swers: No. Who ever saw me take a bribe?'
Now. what can you do? We have traced cases
where we were morally sure that the man was
guilty. We have had three, FIVE. or eight afidayis
to that effect, but they have been made by women
of bad reputation. This evidence we cannot 60 TO
court with. and the man gets of. A high official
told me that one captain made $4,000 a year by
blackmailing."-Eel York Dispatch.

The Great Ruby.

The first and most famous of existing
rubies forms part OF the Imperial States crown
made for Queen Victoria in 1885, eTubelished with
all the gems left after the destruction Of the regalia
during the period ofths Commonwealth. and sub
sequently added to by purchases. This ruby,
standing in the centre Of the Maltese cross ON tha
top Of the British crown and the most conspicuous
gem on It, is believed to be, tolerebly good Ru-
thority the as that worn in front of the he'll
met of King Henry " at the battle OF AgineOurt.
Unlike famous diamonds, rubies have no proper
names, but this one In the British crown might be
called the "AgIneours." Its history can be traced
back to the year 1867. when, after the battle OF
Niagara, near Yittoria, King Pedro Of Castillo pre-
sented it TO Edward, the Black Prince" This
"Agineourt" ifso II can be called has a small hole
bored through it, after a fashion common in the
East, to be hung by itself round the neck. This
hole is filed in the front part by small ruby
to be distinguished only from the stone by close
examination OF about the same size as this ruby
is another, formerly among the regalia OF Austria,
but of the present existence Of which little, If any
thing, Is known. The Emperor Rudolph II. re-
ceved it in 1860 from his sister Queen Dowager Of
France, it being valued at the time at CO. 900 ducats
or about $4,000 It would now probably be worth
not far from half million sterling. the value Of
the ruby having increased in value more than that
of any other precious Stone.-T6e AahqpaTE

from the South repeatedly set forth the tyranny
which the Southern States were suffering, and
especially denounced the administration Of Gen

The strike of street car employees In st.

fairs. which threatens all the interests OF tn,
city. The strikers, numbering over 1909,
have kept Within the bounds OF a lawful ex.
ercise OF their right to refuse to work, as a
means OF redressing grievances, but the lawless
vagrant and criminal classes OF the city seem
to have combined to take advantage OF the
situation. Monday the City was almost In the
possession OF these classes. MODS. armed with
bludgeons AID missiles, refused to dispense at
the commands OF the police and even resisted
the latter. The encroachments of MODS upon
the rights OF people and property quickly en-
couraged all the rough elements OF the city to
assert defiance OF the lawful authorities, and
the situation was full of danger. In order to
suppress this lawless outbreak the people are
urged to join In supporting the authorities and
the strikers adopted a resolution pledglng their
aid to the police.

Will manage the party affairs until the regular
primaries are held next fail. With nearly one
half OF the Tammany society arTayed against
John Kelly, and the opposition OF a completely
organized anti Kelly democracy to fight him at
every step, 1t is difficult TO conceive how the
boss can hold out much longer. The better ele-
nents of the party are determined to crush
Kelly. because he invariably uses his political
influence for the qualification OF selfish ends
AS long as he is permitted 10 control few thou
