LIFE Ar WASHINGTON.
How Congressman Are Bled by All Sorts OF
Impeeunions Dead Beats,


Washington Letter.
During session of Congress there are always
a lot of dead beats in Washington, who live by
Systematically bleeding congressman. They
forge letters of introduction from ladies and
others away up in the social scale, asking this
member or that member Ito aid the bearer,
who is worthy etc John Lamb and Colonel
Matson, both Indiana congressman, were
worked by this scheme last winter, and only
discovered that they had been imposed upon in
the most casual manner In Lambs case he was
called upon by modest-appearing, middle-aged
woman, bearing letter purporting to be from a
certain distinguished Indiana lady saying that
the bearer was in very needy circumstances, and
asking him il he could not do something to aid
her lthe beafer), concluding by saying that
Judge Holman, Judge I3owery, and other In
diana congressman, had given tho needy per-
son aid, as had also the writer's
subsequently, ascertained by social call upon
the lady, when the letter was incidentally al
luded to- John told me that he did not expect
to be able to cent out of his salary, but he
wanted, il he could, to get enough out of his
present term in Congress to build or complete a
modest little cottage at his home for his mother
and sister to live in.
Five thousand dollars a year in Congress
sounds big, but two-thirds Of the members of
Congress find. after they have been retired to
private life, that they are in debt. STILL there
are a few who do save a little money, or manage
to make both ends meet Members representing
purely rural constituency have smooth sailing.
But those who are enabled to save are men who
do not go anywhere and do not assume any ex-
pense other than is actually necessary to enable
them to live They never amount to anything
in Congress, so far as reputation is concerned,
and are scarcely ever heard Of out Of their own
districts.
The other member who will have balance is
the notorieusly stingy or mean man. who would,
if ne could, make the parties he happens to Sc
cure position for pay campaign expenses in the
appointee's own township. 1t Is questionable. if
the truth was known, whether Follett and Jor-
dan both were not compelled to draw on their
private bank accounts which they had before
coming to Congress to help pay their living and
other necessary expenses in Washington last
winter, and yet neither Of these members has
been accused of living extravaganty.
Still, congressional life is very fascinating. A
short term IN Congress is good advertising card
for young professional man to begin his bust
ness career with, providing that he has not
already entered upon well-established and pay
ing business. In this event, he had better stick
to his desk

LAST NIGHTS CONCERT.

A Season of War Melodies Heartily Ap-
preciated by Crowded House.
Last nights war concert was as en-
joyable an affair as has ever occurred in
Yankton. Turner hall was packed by
an appreciative audience and an audi
ence which thoroughly enjoyed what it
appreciated. The programme was com.
posed almost entirely of the war songs
'6l-'65, with such selections as "The
Star Spangled Banner" and "Columbia"
sandwiched in. The audience was
largely composed of ex-soldiers and
their enthusiasm was on the rising scale
from the beginning. Itculminated with
Will. Scougal's rendition of "Marching
Through Georgia"
The house joined in the chorus with
will and the old popular song, which
had rung from ten thousand throats in
me grand chorus during the marching
days of many of the auditors, was taken
up and carried through to the end. The
singers on the stage were somewhat dis.
concerted at the unexpected out
break but rallied. in good time
and perfo rmed their part. This
burst of enthusiasm can hardly be ap.
preciated in its fullest extent by those
who have never participated in march
ing song, wherein whole division or
whole army corps of soldiers in column
have taken up q popular refrain and
made the woods ring with their
voices as they tramped along the dusty
road. Last nights experience was re.
minder of this species OF diversion,
and took the boys back
to the days long ago when
the unadulterated exuberance of patri-
otto intensity made them sing whether
they could or not. and they were always
ready to jump from song into a fight
or fight into song.
The concert was conducted by VIM
Ridall, who participated in the choruses
and sang couple Of solos. Mrs. Jessie
Geer, Prof. J. T. Shaw, Miss Matte
Smith, VIM. s. Scougal and Miss Mollie
Griffin were the other soloists Of the
evening and all were supported in their
excellent efforts by we'll trained cho.
rus. All the singers are deserving OF the
highest praise. Mrs. Geer's rendition of
"Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp
Ground" elioited hearty applause, and
her solo, Mother Kissed Me in My
Dreams" was 80 exquisitely given that
it brought forth demand for another
appearance, which was responded to
: with "Robin Adair.' Mrs. Geer's won.
derful voice was given full license in
these efforts aud che fully earned the
hearty applause bestowed upon her
Miss Smith was another favorite
with the audience and Miss Griffin
, captured her hearers with her sweet, ex.
preesive voice. Prof. Shaw, Mr.. 6cougal
and Mr.. Ridall sang individual selections
, which we're enthuslasticaliy received
J. At the close Of the programme, Captain
9 Lucas. Of Chamberlain. was called and
; . be gave "Old Shady" aud "The Army
). Bean" to the audience with exhiliratine
effect. The concert closed with "Johr
Brown" by the entire audience. II ws,
: one OF the happieet occasions within
q Yankton's experience.

1t is probably not generally known
by Americans that it was Ivan Tourgue-
neff who invented the word "nihilist,"
or, at least, was the first to use it as an
appellation of the members of that
secret organization which has done so
much to terrorize governmental circles
III Russia, and taught the car Just how
uneasy lies the head that wore
crown" Whilst not himself "nihilist,"
Tourgueneff by his writings did much
to inspire the oppressed peasants to
both long and struggle for reforms in
the social system of that semi -barbaric
government. 1t was Tourgueneff who,
by his earliest works, opened the eyes
of the late czar to the misery and OPP
pressions laid upon the serfs by the
great landed proprietors of Russia, and
thus led that monarch to forever abolish
that form of slavery in his vast domains.
Is it to be wondered at, that the people
of Russia united with the government
to pay this modest and simple-minded
author such funeral honors as have
never before in any land been paid to a
mere novelist, simple writer of tales
Though Tourgueneff was expelled
from his native land in his early youth
by order of the grand Alexander, the
father of the czar of to-day pardoned
the author some twenty years or more
ago, and he was invited to return. But
long residence at Paris, and the
mental destinations of that great city
far more seductive for the man of
letters, as we'll as the artist, than
Americans generally suppose-retaine ed
him, and Tourgueneff never availed
himself of his pardon, save only to re
visit on one occasion the scenes of his
youth, his old home and kindred, and
perhaps to gather fresh material for
new series of those charming tales of
Russian peasant life which have made
his literary fame.
