FLORIDA's TRUANr SENATOR.
Mr.. Jones Straining Official Eth
quette-Odd Freaks of the Man.
From The Ne,0 York World.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Jones,
OF Florida, has during his prolonged alb
Sence tested to its utmost limit the etl-
quette OF the Senate. He has no real right
to draw his salary unless he puts in an
appearance during the session. 1t
is now paid to him when, by a
rigid construction OF the law, it
could be withheld. Both he and his son,
as clerk of committee, have drawn
salaries for nearly two years without
rendering any service. Senatorial
courtesy has retrained from enforcing any
penalty for his prolonged absence. The
Senate has it in its power to compel his
attendance, but unless there was some
great emergency this power is never en-
forced against an absentee Senator
Jones labOrs under the delusion that he
Is an object of persecution, the victim OF
a conspiracy,
Senator Beck, who moved to have jones'
place on the committee filled, appears to
be one OF the especial objects of his wrath.
Newspapers with wretch" "villain,"
written on the margin appear from time
TO time In the Senator's mail, bearing the
Detroit pOstmark, although no name is
given to Indicate the sender. These
marked papers are believed to come from
the absent Jones. Ben: Perley Poore IS
also the recipient of similarly marked
letters from Detroit. He incurred
the Senator's wrath during the time
when Jones pursued Mr.. Poore's
niece through the New England
summer resorts with proposals OF mar
riage. ! saw the Senator last summer
during flying visit to Detroit. He ap-
peared to be in perfect physical health.
The people about the hotel said he had
not only been perfectly sober for a long
time, but had not drank drop Of liquor,
80 far as any of his friends knew. A few
people think Jones may come back.
Nothing in an ordinary way could make
much more of a sensation than his return
to the Senate chamber. Jones is so fond
of sensations, he may be tempted to re-
turn, but The chances are that he will
remain in Detroit.
