WEALTHY SENATOR'S.
Some of Them Intend to Make "A Great
Show This Winter

Show This Winter.
A Washington letter says that Senators
begin to be seen on the avenue. This is a
sight that, like the bird in February,
points to a speedy coming season. Why
it happens that the first sign of the new
session is the strOlling Senator, or the
Senator in his barouche, is hard to tell.
Representatives keep away until a few
days before the session opens. Many of
the Senators come a month ahead of
time. The new Senate will be a body of
very rich men. There were many
wealthy members in the last Congress,
but a majority of the new Senators are
very rich. Some of them intend to make
great show this winter. Palmer, the
successor of Ferry, has taken WindOm's
house. Palmer counts his riches by mil
lions. Sabin, who beat Window, was
wise enough to make himself a million
aire before he came to the Senate.
Bowen, of Colorado, who succeeded
the ephemeral Tabor, is very
rich, and may hear any
day that his mines have
produced bonanza; COlquitt, of Geor-
gla, is almOSo as rich as his colleague,
Joe Brown. Randall Gibson, of Louis
lana, inherited great wealth and was for
tunate enough to save a good deal of it
from the wreckage of the Confederacy.
Inc TlcneSJ man III Tue SENATE is Falr, OF
Nevada, and probably Philetus Sawyer,
a cOmical yet hard-headed statesman,
stands next. Sawyer can draw his check
for a great deal of money, yet he is so
timld that he is afraid of the sound of his
own voice on the floor of the Senate.
DOlph, the Oregon lawyer, is wealthy in
prospects if not IN property just yet. 1t
is mistake, however, to suppose that
the rich men simply come to the Senate
to show off. The LATEST man in that
body is one of the poorest, and another
who depends entirely on his salary for his
support, occupies the whole time in
writing long and absurd constitutional
speeches. Some of the hardest working
men in the Senate are very wealthy.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Policeman VIM.

saloon. on Thirty-siXth street last night
an inOffensive by-stander named Peter
keenan,. From information obtained by
a detective, and from the statements of
witnesses at the Coroner's preliminary
examination, it appears that Policeman
Conroy had been drinking heavi-
ly, and that in a liquor saloon
at No. 33 East Thirty-slxth street
he assaulted several persons without
cause, and finally attacked Keenan,, who
was quietly standing near the bar, inter-
fering neither with the policeman nor any
one else, and after shooting him without
warning dragged him from the saloon and
clubbed him long after he had become un-
conscious. Conroy has made several con-
Trajectory statements about the matter.
He was placed under arrest.

BLACKNIAILING METHODS.

Washington Special Boston Hey1ld 1gt

washington Special Boston Herald. Isf
Commissioner Evans has written n
statement for the public, in which he de-
nounces Maj. Crumbaugh, the Kentucky
Coliector OF Internal Revenue, whose
aspirations to become Secretary of the
Navy, together with the charge that he
had used official envelopes unlawfulIv
nave given him some notoriety of late as y
blackmaller. A statement was given the
press at Louisville last night that Evans
had been prosecuting Crumbaugh in the
investigation of recent charges against
him for the purpose of forcing him. after

charge that Evans brOther-in-law had
stolen money from the mails while Assist
ant Postmaster at Hopkinsville, XIV,
Evans, in his statement prepared for the
press this evening, says that. while il is
true that his father-in-law is Postmaster
at Hopklnsyille, and that there have been
charges OF 1rregularity against his
brother-ln-laW as assistant in the office.
the other statements are false. He saws
that, as soon as he heard of the matter. he
wrote his father-in-law that the young
man ought not TO remain in the office. be
the facts as they might. He addss how
ever, and this is the most important
feature OF his statement, that Crumbaugh,
being supposed friend of the family.
got possession of the facts and i'm
mediately proceeded to make
use OF them in blackmailing way. He
wrote, Mr.. Evans says,a letter to Revenue
Agent Clark, saying that Evans was per-
scouting him, that he knew all about the
Hopkinsville post office affair, and that if
Evans did not let up on him he would tell
it all and would defeat his confirmation
by the Senate. This letter Clark for
warded to the Commissioner, who, in
stead of ''letting up" was only led to
pursue more vigorously his investigation
of the charges made against Crumbaugh.
Evans closes his statement by saving
that, while the matter referred to bY
Crumbaugh is a cause of great pain to
him and to his family, he will not allow it
to be used to prevent him from doing a
plain duty

FIGURES FROM THE MINT.
The Coinage of silver Dollars Recon-
mended Reduced.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The annual re-
port Of the Director of the Mint shows
that the coinage last year consisted of
nearly 1OO,OOO,O 900 pieces, of the value of
sec, 200, 900. OF this amount $36, ,OOO. 900
were in gold and about 29,O00,00O in silver.
mostly standard dollars. The silver cir
culatiOn, the Director says, is in excess
of the requirements, and he suggests that
Congress consider whether directing the
monthly coinage of 2,000,00 silver dollars
should not be modified or repealed.
The Director recommends that the
coinage of gold dollars and
3-cent nickel pieces be discontinued,
that the act authorizing the coinage of
the trade dollar be repealed, and that the
latter coin be sent to the mints and ex-
changed for other silver dollars. The
production of gold during the current
calandar year will, he estimates, be
$32, 100000 and silver $4,000, 900. His
estimate of the coin in circulation Octo-
Der 1, 1888, is $54,512, 500 in gold and
$235, ,291, 1928 in silver.

Many wonder why the brute creation
excel mankind as a rule when it comes
to a question of health. Investigation
quickly ascertains the cause. 1t is be-
cause the brute naturally obeys every
law of health, while mankind is constant
ly degenerating owing to eXcesses of our
ancestors and our own individual impru-
dence. Sudden exposure to extreme eli
matte influences, gluttOny, improper
food, alcoholic stimulants, over exertion of
mind and body, worriment. anxiety, care,
etc., all have a marked effect on the hui
man system. Be cured by using Browns
Iron Bitte:s. A remarkable remedy for
restoring health.
