.'Jeffersonian simplicity is farther
away from the Capital than ever since
Cleveland became President One OF the
most magnificent dinners ever served in
Washington. was that given by Secretary
and Mrs. Whitney for the President and
Mrs. Cleveland. An account in mug
wump paper says: "The service was
solid gold. The bon-bon stand and the
high crystal dishes for confectionery had
gold bases and stalks in antique patterns.
The claret pitchers were gold mounted,
and the spoons and desert knives were
gold. The dinner cards were gilt-edged
and bore the Whitney monogram. Mrs.
Whitney received her guests in Worth
gown of ivory satin embroidered in silver,
and the tulle that covered the neck and
bosom was bangled with silver droplets.
The Court train was edged with ruche
of satin. There was great diamond star
at her throat and diamonds in her ears. y
If this is "Jeffersonian simplicity" how
does it differ from the pomp and show of
royalty?

Senator Mcpherson is an ideal sort OF nsn-
erman. He does all his angling in accof.
dance with rules laid down in the books. II
he were 10 catch fish by any sort OF hap
hazard or irregularity he would not forgive
himself. He studies the art of handling the
rod and manipulating the fly as the musicisn
does his notes, and sticks just as closely to
the text. Maxey is an old fogy in angling as
in everything else. He has been accustomed
all his life to tying string on long cane or
hop-pole, and ysnking the fish out BY
main strength and awkwardness. Several
years ago Hampton persuaded Maxey to
try a rod and reel. As the Texan knew moth
ing about such appliances Hampton volun-
teered to select the outfit. He purchased q
split bamboo eight-ounce rod, Kentucky
reel and other tackle to correspond, and soon
after Maxey took trip up the river. He got
numerous strikes, but did not land any fish.
First one difficulty and then another con-
fronted him iu managing that tackle, and
worst of all he had nobody along to instruc,
him. Upon his return Hampton wanted to
know how he enjoyed his triE and added that
he must have had good time handling such
superb tackle. Maxey, with some hesitation.
admitted that the tackle was beautiful and
elegant, and .sOh yes, he did enjoy himself,
but the fish had much the best of the en-
gagement, as they all got away" Maxey
did not dare let his old fogv prejudices crop
out in Hampton's presence, but when the
latter had turned awav he said soto voce
"After all there is rothing like stiff pole
and strong line in fishing"

A correspondent OF the Boston Record
reports Neal Dow as saying recently in
an Interview: "Bodwell will undoubted-
ly be elected. We were disappointed at
the result of the republican convention.
We hoped to see Hamlin nominated. We
should then have had the issue fairly
made. We should have said, 1.-The re-
publican party has now openly committed
itself against the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law, and we should have been
able to secure vote large enough to
leave the republican candidates in the
minority. Bodwell himself is temper
auce man. and will no doubt get the votes
of many strong prohibitionists, and our
issue this year is confined to the general
policy of the republican party on this
question"

Fishing Senators.
FAMED ANGLERS - THEIR RESORTS - TIL
STYLE OF THEIR OUTFITS.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore American writes:
Senator Wade Hampton is first on the list.
He is admitted to be the champion. With a
light rod he can cast fly at any point he
chooses within 100 feet. He is extremely
fond of the sport, and has f1shed in every
portion of the country. During the sessions
of the Senate he frequently makes short trips
up the Potomac or into Virginia The Wood
mont Club iu the Upper Potomac is a favorito
haunt of his. and the records show that the
largest catches are scored to his credit. On
enc occasion he went up with party of sew
eral from here, and when they started out
early in the morning with rods rugged, he re-
marked that as he was lame, he would go on
ahead, and at noon they would meet at a
given point. He left with a twinkle in bis
eve which his companions did not perceive.
They toiled on down the stream, fishing pa
tiently, but getting very little reward. AT
the appointed time they rejoined the Senator,
and were much surprised and rather chagrined
to observe that he had a very fine string OF
bass. By dint of questioning the secret came
out. Senator Hampton had kept just ahead
of his friends. fishing diligently all the holes
where the bDs were. He got the fish while
his friends got the experience.
Senator Vest is a skillful angler, and can
manipulate fiv 40 as to deceive the most
wary of the finny tribe. Senators Kenns,
Plat, Mcpherson, Frye, Maxey and Aldrich
are also creditable anglers. Senator Frye
has a national reputation as a capturer of
salmon. He SAYS be has lost all relish for
catching small fry, such as trout and bass,
and that nothing less than 20-pound salmon
can send the blood tingling through his veins.
He is member of several of the leading
sporting clubs of Maine and the Dominion,
and no matter what occurs he makes his peri
odical pilgrimages of the Northern lakes. In
the late spring and early summer be drops
committee work, abandons Legislative
halls, and hies him away to the wilds
of the North. In the course of a few weeks
he returns as brown as a berry, and with
kighly-colored nose, that speaks volumes
for the character of the liquid refresh
ments of his club, or would thus speak if
Frye we're not teetotaler. His abstemious-
ness in everyday life forbids the suspicion
that he would indulge on the sly in camp. 1t
would scarcely be suspected of the frigid, for
bidding Edmunds that he enjoys handling a
rod. but when out in the woods and free from
the habitual reserve he wears in public life,
ne is a jovial and genial companion. He can
sit around log fire and drink out of jug
with as much ease as any democrat, and no.
