His" YiOlpt" Ram eJnbered Him.
Washington Special

Mr. Hoblitzell, of Maryland, was the only
man on the floor of the house to-day whose
desk displayed product of the florists skill.
and his was literally covered with an i'm
mense harp of violets, roses and ferns. The
harp was very fragrant and beautiful, but its
sudden removal from the house is explained
by the Crete this evening as follows: "For
short time Mr.. HobIitzell was very proud
of his possession. II was beautiful, smell
deliciously and attracted attention. But his
contentment was short lived. Members be-
gan to come closer. They looked for the
card that generally accompanies floral off r
ings. That card was tucked away and al
most hidden among roses and violets. 1t
was brought to light by Mr.. Cox, of New
York. 1t bore these simple words, "From
Volet.n That was enough for Mr.. Cox. He
soon had crowd around Mr. HobltZell.
Mr. Cox wanted TO know who "Violet' was.
Mr. Hoblitzell denied all acquaintance with
"Violet,n and said he believed the harp was
for Mr.. Cox. "If," he said, ''there had
been a champagne bottle by it | would be
certain that ii was meant for Cox But he
could not get off. His fellow-members piled
him with questions and insnuations. He
could not answer. At each question and at
each inuendo everybody laughed. Mr.. Hob
litzell got warm. He then got warmer. Mr..
Cox, of New York, then began TO hum softly.
Sweet violets, sweeter than all the roses,
and Representatives Bland, Bnrkesdalc and
Hartman joined in the chorus. Mr.. Hoblit-
zell could stand it no longer. He sent for n
page. The harp was taken to a cloak-room. "

In those years, when Maine was distric
OF Massachusetts, Ezekiel Whitman wa.
among the chosen to represent the district
in the Massachusetts Legislature. He was
an eccentric man, and one of the best lawyers
of his time. In those days Whitman owned
farm, and did much work upon his land
aud it so happened when the time came for
nim TO set out for Boston his best snit OF
clothes was a suit of homespuu. His wife
objected to hi going in that garb, but he did
not 81 will ct a nice fashionable suil
made as soon as reach Boston, he said.
Reaching his destination, Whitman found
rest at Dooitte's City Tavern. Let 1t b,
understood that he as a graduate Of Har
ward and at this tavern he was quite al
home.
As he entered the parlor OF the house he
found that several la lies and gentlemen were
there assem- bled, and he heard a remark from
one Of them. "Ah, here comes a country.
man of the real homc-spun genus. Here's
iun." Whitman stared at the company, and
then sat down.
Say. my friend, you arc from the couu-
lryf' remarked one of the gentlemen.
"Ya-as.' answered Ezekiel, with ludi-
crous twist Of the face.
The ladies Uttered.
"And what do YOU think Of our cityl"
ats poorly thicksettIed place, anyhow.
It's got a sweepin sight OF hoveiu' in it,"
"Aud good many people, too"
"Ya-as, should reckon So"
MANY people where you come FRONT"
"Wa-al, some"
PLENTY Of ladies, ! supposed"
'Ya-as. fair sprnkling."
And don't doubt you are quite a beau
among them"
''Ya-as beau 'em home-tew meetin' and
slngiu' schewl."
Perhaps the gentleman from the county
will take a glass OF winer'
"Thank-ee. Don't keer IL do"
The wine was brought.
"You must drink a toast"
ION, git eoutl | eats toast--never heard
~ such thing AS drinkin' it. But kin give
" sentiment"
The ladies clapped their hands; but what
was their surprise when the stranger, rising,
spoke calmly aud clearly, in tones ornate
and diguiied, as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, permit me TO
wish you health aud happiness, with every
blessing health can afford; aud may you
grow better and wiser with advancing years,
bearing ever In mind that outward appear
ances are often deceitfu You mistouk me
from my dress for country BOBBY. while
from tle same superficial cause, thought you
were ladies' and gentlemen. Tue miatake
has been mutual"
Tie bad just spoken when Caleb Strong.
the Governor Of the state, entered and in
quircd for MIR. Whitman.
''Ah, here | am. Governor Glad to see
you" Then. turning to the dumb gu n cd
company: II wish you a very good even
ing"
And he left them feeling about as small
and cheap as It is possible for full-growD
people to feel.

Apologies for poor dinners are generally
out Of place. But when lady has forget
full husband, who, without warning, brings
home a dozen of guests 20 sit down TO plain
family dinner for three or four, IL is not in
human nature to keep absolute silence.
What to say and how 10 say it, form the
problem. Mrs. Tucker, the wife Of Judge
Tucker, Of Williamsburg. solved this prob
lem years ago. Her temper and tact were
put TO the proof one court day. when the
JUICE brought with him the accustomed half
score or more Of lawyers, for whom not the
slightest preparation had been made, the
Judge having quite forgotten to remind his
wife that il was court day, aud she herself,
strange to tell, having overlooked the fact
Tue dinner was served With elegance, and
Ms. Tucker made herself very charming
Upon rising to leave the guests TO their wine
shr said
''Gentlemen, you have diued to-day with
Judge Tucker, promise me that you viii all
dine Tomorrow With me-"l
This Was all her apology, EhereupOn the
gentlemen ali swore that such a wife vas be-
yond price. The Judge then explained toe
situation, and Me next day there was noble
banquet.

class, the consulship at Hankow, China,
which in the bill has been placed in the
81, 500 class.
In advocacy of this amendment, Mr.. Ryan
called attention to the fact that line of
steamers are now running to Hankow under
the American flag.
In response, Mr.. Burnes intimated the
steamers were sailed under the American
flag not because Americans owned or were
interested in them. but for the purpose of
protection during the French and Chinese
war.
Mr.. Reed inquired how foreigners could
sail their vessels under the American flag
under our statutes.
Mr.. Burnes replied he could not answer
for the truth of the assertion, but the state
ment had gone the rounds of the press that
the vessels were sailed under the American
flag for the protection OF interests not our
own.
Mr.. Ryan said he would assume the trans
fer of these vessels to the American flag had
been made in good faith until he should
have some better evidence to the contrary
than newspaper rumor.
Mr.. Randall inquired whether the transfer
had not taken place Immediately after tne
breaking ont of the war between France and
China.
Mr.. Ryan could see in that circumstance
no evidence of bad faith.
Mr.. Curtin made brief speech on the
importance of increasing our foreign CON-
merce, especially with the countries of South
America, and advocated strengthe ming and
improving Of the cOnsulor service OF the
United States. He would not appoint
as consuls worn out politicians.
but would select the b, st men in the country,
after a civil service examination, and would
not appoint any man who could not speak
the language of the country to which accred-
tied.
Mr. Hits motion was lost, 40 to 67.
point of order was made against the
paragraph appropriating Sl2,0 to meet the
necessary expenses attendant on the eXecu-
ton of the neutrality acts, and the point was
maintained by the chair.
Mr.. Cannon appealed from the decision,
and being of the opinion that he had been
unfairly treated by the chair, raised the poiut
that there was no quorum on the vote to sus-
tain the chairs decision. No quorum was
present. Adjourned.

Sands of Gold.

Mr.. Bob Paul, of township No. 10,
Cabarrus county, N. c., went to the
Charlotte Mint for the purpose of having
his gold dust coined, and told his tale:
"On my farm is an old gold pit that
was dug by an English miner, as
tradition says, during the Revolutionary
war. The same authority says that this
miner took SIS, 900 from this pit in gold,
and being satisfied with his wealth he
abandoned the pit and went back home.
leaving the mine full of rich ore The
people of the neighborhood worked the
mine at different times, but it was
finally neglected and forgotten. Weeds
grew up around it, and the rains partly
filled up the excavation. During the
past winter / was troubled with the mud
in my front yard, and at the suggestion
of my wife went and hauled three cart
loads of the sand and gravel from the
old pithole and scattered it over the
yard. A few days ago, while walking
over this gravel, 1 noticed glittering
object, and on picking it up l found that
had nugget of Virginia gold, weigh
ing an ounce. 1 examined further, and
the sand and gravel proved to be rich in
gold. 1 carted the three loads to a
branch near by, and 'panned out gold
valued at 1926. 1 then went to the
mound taken from the pit, and got
bushel of the ore and pounded it to dust
in mortar, and obtained gold to the
amount of $125."
After hearing the story and seeing the
$500 in gold, Mr.. Eli Hinson, a wealthy
citizen of Mecklenburg county, offered
MIR. Paul $50 bushel for the 1000
bushels of sand and gravel lying at the
mouth of the pit hole. The offer was
promptly refused. The story about the
Englishman is said to be true by a
Doctor 80 yesss Old, who lives near Mr..
Paul. Experts have gone to the mine,
and full supply of modern machinery
will be put in.

A Mad Dog.

"There he comes, nowl Mad dog
Run Run p shrieked little boy as
he dashed into a gronp of children in
the northwestern part of Milwaukee,.
The boys face was paIlid with fear.
Behind him was fierce-looking mastiff,
growing, swapping and frothing at the
mouth. In another instant he bounded
among the children. They were fright
ened into helplessness and stood riveted
to the spot, gazing in horror upon the
monster. Twelve little children-five
girls and seven boys-were bitten
severely before the dog broke away from
the group.
Up the street the Infatuated animal
darted, but at the first corner was halted
by bullet from policeman's revolver.
The officer ran up and stood over the
quivering form of the brute, intending
to end its life with another shot. With
out warning, however, the dog, with an
angry snarl, sprang up, fastened its
fangs in the officers hand and fell back
dead. The wounded have been properly
treated and serious results are not antic-
ipated.

A Versatile Editor.

Mr.. Samuel Smiles, in his new book,
tells the following anecdote of Mr.. Wal
ter, the man who made the London
Times what it is: at is related of him
that, in the spring of 1888, shortly after
his return to Parliament as member for
Berkshire, he was at the Times office
one day when an express arrived from
Paris, bringing the speech of the King
of the French on the opening of the
Chambers, The express arrived at 10
a. M, after the days impression of the
paper had been published, and the
editors and compositors had left the Of
fee. 1t was important that the speech
should be published at once; and Mr..
Walter Immediately set to work upon it.
He first translated the document; then,
assisted by one composition, he took his
place at the type-case and set it up, To
the amazement of one of the staff who
dropped in about noon, he found Mr..
Walter, NJ. p. for Berks, working in his
shirt sleeves 7 The speech was set and
printed, and the second edition was in
the city by one o'clock. Had he not
turned to- as he did, the whole expense
of the express service would have been

A Family Secret.

Farmer Derben kept large flock OF
geese. His fences were good, and his
geese rarely escaped from the pasture
where they were confined. His neigh
Dor, Farmer Cole, also kept a flock OF
geese; but his fences were not carefully
repaired, and his geese often strayed
into his neighbours grain fields. Last
summer this annoyance became intoler-
able to Farmer Derben, and he resolved
to make an end of it. Meeting Farmer
Cole one day in the road, he told him
of the annoyance, and added:
ST now give you fair warning that i
I again find your geese trespassing on
my land l will kill them"
A few days after, as Farmer Derben
was sitting at dinner, he CHANGED to look
out the window, and there, on his very
lawn, he beheld flock of geese enjoy
ing themselves. Not waiting to get bis
hat, he seized his cane, and rushing into
the midst of the flock, he laid about him
with such vigor that several geese were
killed and several more wounded, when
his little daughter, bounding up to her
irate parents side, screamed in his ear:
"Pa, these are our geese y

A Story of Dan Mace.

The late Dan Mace was born at West
End! Boston, on May %, 1884. His
passionate fondnes5 for horses, which
he showed from early boyhood, Was in
herited from his father; old Dan Mace,
who was noted stable keeper of Boston.
His father wanted to have him learn a
trade, and suggested horseshoeing to
the lad as good thing for the boy to
know. But young Dan preferred being
in the saddle to fussing around horses
hoofs, and told his father so. He used
to tell the story of his first horseback
ride with great gusto. One day, while
he was at play about the stable, his
father put pair of spurs on his shoes
and set him upon an old flea bitten gray
horse called Jerry. ''Now ram the
spurs in" the old man said, and as
young Dan jabbed the steel prongs into
the very venerable steed his father hit
the horse resoundihg blow with the
whip on the flank.
Old jerry jumped as if he had been
shot, and started away with all his
speed that was in him. Young Dan
chung fast till the horse ran himself out
of breath. 1t was his first lesson in an
art he afterward made himself master
of. 81 was never 80 scared in nv life. I"
Dan said, "but after that iolting ride [
was never afraid to handle any animal

A. Divorce Case.

A GAINESVILLE, Tenn, paper says: 1.-THE
divorce case of Bobbie L. Fuqua against
Robert l.. Fuqua was called in the Cir
cult Court, and Judge Grace granted a
decree of divorce, restoring the plaintiff
to her former name of Bobbie l.. Rives.
Miss Rives was engaged to be married
to Mr.. Irving Cayce Feb. 3, but while
in GAINESVILLE, few weeks before, sur
prised her friends by marrying Mr..
Robert l. Fuqua. She returned home
after the wedding and expressed surprise
when informed that the wedding, which
was, she said. intended for a Joke, was
legal and binding. She sued for divorce
in the March term Of court, alleging
fraud against Mr.. Fuqua. The gentle.
man through his attorney protested and
resisted the granting of the divorce for
such cause. The case went over and
the plaintiff filed an amended petition
withdrawing the obnoxious clause, aud
Mr.. Fuqua offering no further objections
the decree was allowed.

Able TO Lose 1t.

Last summer, during the excitement
owing to bank failures in indianapolis. l
was watching the anxious crowd besieg-
ing the doors of bank that was sup
posed to be in danger, when L over
heard the following dialogue between an
Irish woman and her husband:

able argument, and they both left the

the bank survived the pressure, and its
ability to lose NOra's balance was not

A Partisan Woman.

One scandal of the day in Paris is the
diamond robbery committed by a
femme de monde, who stole large dia-
mond star from one of her friends, the
Countess de L., at ball to which
both had been invited. The matter
has been hushed up as much as possible,
and the culprit has gone to England,
where she will stay until the affair has
been forgotten. The diamonds have
been recovered, and the gossips say
that the Countess had recourse to the
same stratagem as that practiced by an
other lady, Madame de P, who
while dressing for ball at Deauville
Casino, broke handsome pearl ear ring.
She left the ear ring on the dressing
table, and found it missing on her return
from the ball. She knew her intimate
friend, Henriette de F., had been
the only person who had entered the
room, but, of course, she did not men
ton the matter to her until she was
leaving the seaside, when she called her
on one side, and, giving her the case
which had held the ear rings, said
"Send these ear rings to your jeweler to
have meuded; you know they are the
pearl ones 1 broke when we were dressing
in my room for the Casino ball." When
Madame de P returned to Paris the
ear rings were mended and awaiting
her
