Stenographic Experts.

There are some marvels of stenogra-
phic reporting performed in the senate
and house each day, and about the most
fascinating sight in congress is to see
these men covering page after page
with curious characters almost as fast
as the eve can follow. Each day the
Congressional Record comes out with a
verbatim report of the proceedings OF
the last session. Not unfrequently the
Record reaches the size of a good-sized
book, and to the uninitiated the Won
der is how the ten reporters succeed IN
preparing such a mass of matter in so
short time. 1t is all the result OF
system which has grown up with years.
and which is well-nigh perfect. There
are five stenograpbers in each branch,
and they hold their offices year after
year irrespective Of the rise or fall of the
political dynasties. The senate pays for
its reporting with a lump sum OF $25,-
600 for each year. The contract is made
with Mr.. J. D. Murphy, who is acknowl-
edged to stand at the head of the profess
sion in this country. Mr.. Murphy is a
short, stout man, with iron-gray hair
and full beard. He has little desk in
front of the clerks stand and does the
greater part of the senate reporting HIM
self. Mr.. Murphy docs his work easily
and without any apparent trouble. NO
matter whether Mr.. Beck, or Mr. Haw-
lev or some of the other lightning talk
ers are going ahead under full pressure,
or the slow-spoken and ponderous
Eyarts is blowing along in debate, 1t is
all the same to Mr.. Murphy. He gets
all there is said. -
The reporters in the senate sit at
their desks, because the chamber is a
small one and there is usually perfect
quiet. In the house, however, the five
reporters fit here and there with their
notebooks, following this or that
speaker. The chief of the house corps
is j. j. McElhonc. He made his repu-
tation in the famous debate, when there
were fully dozen of men speaking at
once. Mr.. McElhone jumped to his
feet, notebook and pencil in hand. He
did not take his eye from the paper, but
when the scene had passed he had
every word of it. The report in the
next DAYS Record was absolutely cor
rect; not an actor in that famous scene
ever complained that he had been mis-
quoted. Mr.. McElhone is tall man,
with decidedly Hibernian cast of feat
ures. His head is small and round, ano
his gray hair stands straight up all ovel
it. He is regarded as the swiftest ane
most accurate of all the house reporters
| None of the stenographers write ou
their notes. In the house the men taxi

An Indian Millionaire.

A somewhat notable character has
died in Bombay, says the Times of In
dia, in the person of Mr.. Kessowjee Ja-
dowjee, a wealthy Bhattia merchant,
who was popularity spoken of during
life as a millionaire" The amount OF
property he has left behind him does
not probably fall far short of 80 lakhs
of rupees. Although one of the wealth
lest men in Bombay, he lived in very
humble style at Mandvie, in the native
town, and affected no greater display
than man earning Il small salary
might have done. His dress differed in
no respect from that of his fellow-caste-
men of low degree, and he drove about
in a broken-down one-horse shigranl.
Like many other wealthy men of penur-
ious habits he was extremely litigious.
His dlsagreements with his son, owing to
the dissolute and cxtravagant habits Of
the latter, will be fresh in the recollec-
ton of many in Bombay. The son fell
into the hands of the money-lenders and
others, who expected that the father
would, as he had done on numerous oc-
easions previously, discharge his debts,
but the old man seems to have deter
mined that he would no longer minis
ter to his sons extravagances. and he
refused to lift q finger to save him from
Jail. Lilladhur Kessowjee, the son, was
on the debtor side of the jail for some
time, and eventually died from disease
aggravated if not brought on by his en-
cesses. Owing to the notoriously evil
life of the son, and his fragrant breaches
of caste rules, Mr.. Kessowjee and his
family were communicated by theil
caste udtil they had made pilgrimage
to Benares to expiate their sins by the
course of religious discipline prescribed
on such occasions. The old man was
too feeble to undertake this journey
and died under the ban of his caste. Al
a consequence, enormously wealthy az
he was, his funeral ceremonies were on
ly attended by about ten or dozen per
sons. 1t is believed that the bulk OF the
deceased's immense property will 60 to
nephew, lad some eight years of age
whom he had some intention of adopt
ing, although he did not live lont
enough to have the necessary adoption
