FISHERMEN IN THE SENATE.
Senator Hampton the Most Scientific Of
the Anglers.

Washington Letter in New York Trihune)
The fishing season is near at hand.
Congressman with piscatorial instincts
are getting their tackle ready for the
sport. Among the fishermen il the
Senate, Mcpherson, Of New Jersey,
holds high place; his angling IS done
in accordance with rules laid down in
books. If he were to catch fish in any
sort of haphazard or irregular way he
would never forgive himself. MIR. Ed
munds, too, is q fine fisherman, anG
loses a while on fishing trip with
friends much of that frigid manner for
which he is Justly or unjustly famous.
Indeed, when out in the woods he dis
cards the habitual reserve which he as
sumes in public life, and can be q jovial
and agreeable companion. He can sit
on log and drink out of a jug like any
Democrat, but the minute the fishing
tackle is put back into its case, and he
returns to his public duties, he freezes
up again. Senator kenna has whipped
almost every stream of his State, West
Virginia. About two years ago he gave
the President a few days of excellent
sport in West Virginia, and understand
that the President will again accept the
Senator's invitation for fishing trip

permit. Senator Vest is an ardent fish
erman, and so are Aldrich, Frye and
Hampton. Frye has almost national
reputation as a salmon killer; anything
less than salmon fails to arouse his in.

or three times year manages to make
his way to the fishing grounds.
The most scientific angler, however,
is Hampton. He has one of the fines,
outfits in Washington and his patience
and perseverance, are said to be all that
can be desired. He frequently acts as 8
sort of instructor 20 his colleagues who
are willing to try hand in fishing for
bass in the Potomac. It is said Of him
that he once took Lamar, while he was
vet Senator, up to the Chain Bridge,
at Little Falls, for days fishing.
Lamar, as was his custom, took a novej
along with him, and while Hampton was
stumping among the rocks set himself

bass in the Potomac, for he sat still with
his pole between his knees, while he de.

walked him to the fact that the day was
almost gone and he also saw Hampton
appear in the distance with fine string
Of fish in his hand. Starting up in sur

Supreme Court began to haul in his
line, and to his great disgust found that

Mr.. Michener was approached by anoth-

Mrs. Wick accused Boylan of remaining
nearly an hour in her apartments May 2,

improper advances to her.
Boylan stoutly denied the charges, said he

IbfECiAb ~ N WohLDs1
CHICAGO, May A.-The divorce sensation
was furnished by the case of Ursula against
Theodore GestefeId. a well-known journalist and
lawyer, in which some astonishing letters from the
defendant to the plaintiff were read. Mrs Geste-
field testified that she was married in 1858, but had
not lived with her husband for I'VE years. Geste-
field seems to have spent his whole married life in
falling from grace. and then writing letters to his
wife confessingh his fault and begging forgiveness.
Many Of these letters we're read in court One
letter was written by him from Buffalo July "A,
1874, after he had ned from his wife with another
woman. lie commented on his wretched life, but
thought there was a little good left In him, and
that he was not too old to reform. He pleaded
not to be thrown off forever, and begged his wife
TO forgive him.
Gestefeld gave his wife a confession OF his faults,
which went into the matter with a great deal Of
detail. IL was read in court with the rest Of the
mass, and the wite's attorney reached for another
paper to read, when The court said, ''Tnat win do.
