How a Swede Was swipdIed.

Boston, Dec. 20.-Some time ago
New York paper published clever
advertisement of its Own circulation,
partly in the form of United States
bond for $1,000, and including pictures
of cabinet officers, and in one corner
figures as if the number OF the bond
and the papers in circulation.
On November n Martin Ohlscn,
a young Swedc, sailed from Glas-

$3.50 crowns, he exchanged ii a bro
ker's in Glasgow for what he supposed
to be a certificate of equal value, to be
cashed in this country. lie intends to
settle here as farmer This morning
he required some ready money to pay
his board bill and went TO a brokers'
office on State street 10 get his certifi-
cate cashed. The broker looked at
the paper and pronounced is worth
less, it being evidently the advertise
ment that had appeared in the New
York papers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Thc recent
criticisms of senator's and representa-
tives because newspapers, periodicals,
fancy inkstands, albums, corkscrews,
ETC.. are charged in their stationery
account are apparently based upon an
erroneous impression Of that account.
Each member of congress is allowed
by law 1925 per years for stationery,
newspapers, etc, and that is as much
his own money as his salary. Each
house of congress maintains station
ery-room where stationery and fancy
articles are kept for sale for the con-
venience of members. These articles
arc sold at cost, with small addition
for handling. The member can take
ont the entire 1925 allowance in sta
tioncry and such articles as are kept
i'm stock, or he can draw ii all in cash,
if he plcases, at the end of the year.
Each members account with the sta
honeymoon is made out and any
balance due him is paid him i'll money.
In fact. and in law, he has just MS
much right to the corkscrews and 9TH
err articles appearing in the reports OF
the secretary of the senate and the
clerk of the house as charged to him,
as if he had bought them with money
paid directly from his owl pocket
Newspapers and periodicals subscribed
to. are ordered by the congressman
through the secretary or clerk, orpaid
for out of the stationery allowance,
but the transaction is just as giti-
mate and proper and as much above
proper criticism as if the senator's and
representatives had gone personally TO
the Office of publication to order its
subscription.

CONGRESSMAN REAGAN, it is re-
ported, is much mortified over his alb
sence from the House when the vote
on Morrison's bill was called. OF
course everyone knows that the judge
would have cast his vote with the bal
ance of the Texas delegation for tariff
reform. IL is unfortunate that five
tariff reform Democrats should have
been absent at that time. Most of
them were out Of the city.

An Historic Mansion.

The mansion on X street, fronting Frank
lin Square, formerly TIE residence Of the
late Secretary Stanton, was sold on Wednes-
day for S2l 600. Mr.. Stanton died In this
house His death, as will be remembered,
was very sudden, and the story that he com
mitted suicide, although positively denied
by his family and friends, seemed to put a
blight upon the property. The mansion is
a double one, capacious and well built on
deep lot, and in one of the most eligible aud
desirable sections Of the city. Senator
Sherman lives only q few doors off, and all
