Portable Home at the Capital.

Portable Home at the Capital.
Washington Special.
Senator Edmunds is beginning to wear the
look of man who no longer doubts. During
the early part of the winter he was apparently
worried. but the recent reports from Vermont
indicate that the opposition to him there is diff
fusive, and will amount to nothing when the
Legislature meets next winter 1t appears to be
generally agreed in that State that it would be a
great mistake to retire this veteran and supply
his place with an inexperienced man. Mr.. Ed
munds has many enemies. He is dogmatic,
cold and not given up to any remarkable extent
to the pursuit of ardent frindships He has
always refused to help any of his constituents
get an Office and has never used one of the
methods employed by smaller politicians to
make himself popular In this way he has been
has the reputation for great coldness and auster-
ity, yet few can unbend more gracefully than
he. He is generally regarded as one of the most
charming of dinner companions. One of the
strangest thing connected with Mr.. Edmunds's
career is the devotion shown him by the mug
wumps. Mr.. Edmunds is one of the most
iron-clad of partisans. The only time when
no was at all backward in the support
of his party was during the Blaine campaign.
But no combination of political earthquakes
his party. The mugwumps evidently regard
liking him IAN acquired taste" 1t is doubt
full if the mugs would care for him if he were re-
ally popular 1t is considered an evidence of
superiority among the independents to pay fer
vent worship to him whom the masses do not
appreciate. Senator Edmunds appears to be in
much better health this winter than he was last.
He is now living in his new house on Massacnu-
setts avenue. 1t is splendidly lighted from all
sides. It is in marked contrast in this respect
with his old house upon Highland terrace. That
was dark and gloomy. The change in the re-
spect of light and air may have had much to do
with the Senator's improvement in health The
new Edmunds house is built for the special COM
fort of its inmates. Not even the pet dog is
overlooked The first floor of the house is low,
in the French STYLE and given up to the Offices
of the house. The house proper begins on the
second floor. From the rear of this second floor
there descends long private stairway, which
runs around behind painted screen in the back
yard. This stairway is narrow and frail, just
wide and stout enough to accommodate the
house dog when he wishes to 60 out for exercise
All he has to do is TO 60 to the window, and from
tx at point the dog has easy access to outdoors
without calling for help on any of the human
members of the family. A great number of the
public men have pets in their houses but Sena-
tor Edmunds is the first one to add an actual
dog staircase to his house

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The fact that John
D. Long, Ex-Governor of Massachusetts, and
present member of Congress, is by no means a
mean candidate for the presidency at no very
distant day in the future, leads everyone to take
a considerable interest in the bride whom he led
to the altar on Wednesday last The lady has
been for some sine teaching in one of the public
schools at bingham, Mass, and is described by
those who have met her as one of the most cult
ured AN refined ladies in Massachusetts,. Con-
gressman Long was a widower at the time of
his marriage, and has two children, who share
his quarters at the Hamilton House. The new
Mrs. Long will form An addition to Washington

of the brightest men in Congress to-day. In
event Of Republican victory in the coming
elections he win prove formidable candidate

dency, it is more than likely that he will be Sc

Hilarious Old Senator Hearst.

Washington Special.
Senator Hearst promises to afford as much
entertainment to the Washington people as did
Senator Tabor. He is an hilarious old SOUL and
is not at all pufed up by his senatorial position.
The other night he made quite scene in front
of Willard's, standing there the center Of an
animated group Of judges and colones, who
were fred up to the pitch of widest enthusiasm
over the hberality of the California Senator,
who invited them repeatedly to take drink
without the formality of an introduction. Mr..
Hearst is an uneducated man. and cannot much
more than write his own name His one talent
is his ability to gaze into a rock and find tho
treasures contained therein. He is one of the
most skillful mining prospectors in this or any
other country. He is over siXty-six years OF
age Although he is the principal owner of the
San Francisco Examiner. he knows no more
about it's management than if he had no interest
in it, He never interferes with it in any way,
and rarely reads it. He told friend of his here
the other day that he had read only one copy of
the paper during the last year. Frequently this
paper pitches into Hearst's best friends without
his ever becoming aware of it. The Senator
lahors under the delusion that he will be elected
by the Legislature next winter. California peo-
pie who are familiar with the situation say that
he will not be anything more than nominal
candidate, but that there are number of impe-
cunious strikers who are willing to humor him
in this idea for the purpose of bleeding him.

 One never likes to be laughed at un- der any circumstances, but the minister mentioned in the following incident probably laughed himself over the mis- take he had made. He certainly. did if he had any sense of humor. He was visiting recently the jail at Vinton, to minister to the spiritual wants of the prisoners.
 On entering the jail he met two men in the corridor who looked as if they might need little good counsel. Being prompt, outspoken man, the minister went straight to business, first address ing the elder of the two men, when something like the following dialogue occurred:
 Minister long have you been in hereP
 "About two hours"
 There was short pause. The clergy man looked at him curiously for mo- ment then he turned to the younger man and said:
 'How long have you been in here?" "I came in with him. pointing to the elder man.

A GOOD START.

Aunt Marjorie Precept" Gives a Bit of
 Good Advice to Boys and Girls.
 Iheard certain lad-I will not men, ton names just now-ask the maid one evening, not long ago, to be sure to call him when she should rise in the morning. '1 have work to do," he said, "and I must be up an hour earlier than usual" Let me whisper here that sometimes a good start for the day is gained by beginning the night be- fore. For example it is a much better thing to finish all the school-work- lessons, themes, before go- ing to bed, than to leave it to the chance of rising an hour earlier than the accustomed time. It makes, you see, the difference between a certainty and an accident.
 In the case of my young friend the good start he had counted upon was lost by the fact that the maid forgot his request, and never thought of it until she rang the bell to awaken the rest of the family. Many another boy loses his good start by not getting up when he is called.
 l think if young people knew how much needless trouble they give their elders by just this one vexatious habit of going to sleep again after they have been called in the morning, they would turn over a new leaf.
 When have ordered breakfast at an hour much earlier than suits my own convenience, that Mollie and Marty may eat it in comfort, and have plenty of time to set out for school, I am not in the most cheerful of moods if I am obliged at least half dozen times in the course of an hour to call ''Mollie!

THE SHARK.
Valuable Information Concerning tn
 Habits of Various Species.

Valuable Information Concerning the
 Habits of Various Species.
 The various species of sharks and their allied kindred the rays, skates and sturgeon were discussed by Prof. Bickmore in his closing lecture in fish es. ''Of the cold-blooded vertebrates living in water,'' he said, ''the lancelot, small rare fish, has neither distinct brain or heart. The sharks show de- velopment of brain higher than in any other fish and its approach in some species to that of man. There are sev- eral hundred species of them, those better known living in the open sea- They will follow wreck, steamer or sailing vessel for thousands of miles, often lingering about it for months to secure any thing to eat that may be thrown overheard by the cook, or on hand to welcome an unfortunate sailor, if he chances to slip into the sea. Some of the sharks as shown by the fossil teeth, must have been in the early ages as large as the whales. 1 have seen one thirty-four feet in length that was captured on the New England coast few years ago, and it is reported that in the southern seas they are still to be found sixty feet in length.
 Illustrations on the screen were given by MT. Bickmore, showing many of the varied forms of the shark. The mackerel shark which feeds largely on mackerel has double row of teeth, one row of which points inward and assists in retaining its prey that has once been seized. These teeth may be often broken but a peculiar feature of them is that when thus deprived of tooth a new one grows out in the vacant place. In the man-eating shark the teeth are separated. This shark grows to a great size but is compar- lively rare Its skin is extremely rough and in former years was often used for the purposes of sand paper by mechanics. One kind of shark has row of pointed teeth and series of flat boney plates like paving stones on which they can grind up into paste as in a mill, all sorts of shell or bone fishes, before swallowing them. Att tending the several species of the shark, said MT. Bickmore, may be all ways found two smaller fish. One of these is called the pilot fish by sailors from their belief that he directs the shark to his food. The pilot fish is about fifteen inches long and generally swims few feet below the shark and when it sees piece of food first swims forward to inspect it and then returns to the shark as if to report. Another smaller fish called the sucker fish at- taches itself to portion of the under portion of the shark and is lowed by 1t, what its use may be is not known. Some species of sharks hunt in packs like hounds and their nasal organs are peculiarly formed to extract from the water any taint by which they can fol- low up the scent of their prey. The thrcsher shark lashes the water with tail as long as it's body. frightening the fish and driving them into mass. It then rushes into the school and secures what it wants. The sharks lay but few eggs.-N. r. Tribune.
