British Gold for Cleveland.

Ii is a we'll authenticated fact that

of the free traders. \ gentleman who
arrived from England recently declared
that he never saw EugliShmen SO inter-

nearly all were anxious To see President
Cleveland reelected, because he repre-
sents the true BRUSH idea of free trade.

for the democratic cause in the way OF

STRIKING REsEMBLANCEs.
United States Senators Who Look Like
Other People.

United States Senators Who Look Like
Other People.
Visitors to the Senate galleries can
not fail to notice the singular resem-
blance between half dozen promi-
nent Members Of the present Senate
and as many other conspicuous figures
in the country's political history.
Occasionally Senator Eustis of
Louisiana strikes an attitude or his
features catch q peculiar light, which
renders his resemblance to Blaine so
striking that it is generally recog-
nized and commented upon.
Although so widely separated in
latitude the statesmen from the eX-
treme North and South, are so much
alike in appearance that it is some
times difficult to convince visitor
that the 'man from Maine" is not
again in the Senate.
Senator Blair's resemblance to
Hayes has often been commented
upon and increases with the marks
that time is making upon
the philanthropic New England SEN
ator. The'two men might readily be
mistaken for each other. The re-
semblance which in the case of Eus-
tbs and Blaine, does not extend fur
ther than to the similarity of feature
and expression, in this case extends to
manner, voice, form, and bearing,
and is in all these respects seemingly
almost perfect.
The similarity between the face
and form of Senator Cullom and the
portraits of Lincoln, heightened by
the fact of their similar geographical
origin, has been the subject of re-
mark for many years and has done its
full part in shaping the political desti-
nies of Mr.. Cullom.
Senator MorrilPs resemblance to
Charles Sumner is one of the most
notable of the Senate likenesses,
owing to its singular fidelity to every
detail of countenance, color of eye,
shade of hair, and even to the tones
of the voice and ease of gesture.
GoRMAN AND WASHINGTON.
To the visitor who is seeking re-
semblances there is little difficulty in
noticing striking likeness between
the profile of Senator German and
that of Washington as shown by
many of the medallion portraits. This
resemblance is sufficiently apparent
to have been often remarked, and
when the face of the Maryland SEN
ator is in perfect repose and the ex-
preston one of attentive thought, it
affords certainly the closest resem-
blance to the face of Washington Of
any now in public life.
The new Senators have displaced
several of the Senate gallery of liv-
ing likenesses, but have added one of
the most striking to the number-it is
that of Senator Davis Of Minnesota,
whose resemblance to Ben. Butler is
30 great as te, impress itself upon the
most casual observer

A SILK DINNER.
How Some Drummers Worked a Com
mission Broker

mission Broker.
Mr.. William A. Yates, the well-known
commission broker, at Eighth street and
the Avenue. is now putting in all his
spare time studying up the best method
of getting even with lot of conscience
less drummers who imposed on him re-
Gently in the most outrageous manner. IL
seems that the boys-and they all know
Yates-had been devising ways aud
means for q long time to make a run on
him, but he had headed them off every
time until the sad occasion which is TO
be herewith narrated. On that day, not
far in the past, lot of these drumners
from New York and other cities saun-
tered into Mr.. Yates's Office and found no
one there--as they expected for they
had watched him go out-eXcept the
Office boy HIM they pulled the wool
over the eyes of, and then quietly took up
a large roll of silk, worth probably 500,
and went forth with it in their posses
sion. They passed along the street till
they came to Aman's, and there they
entered and negotiated the silk for din
ner apiece oil around and drinks TO
match, with cigars TO taper of on. Then
they went forth again, laughing to them
selves.
Now comes Mr.. Yates's part of it.
When he returned to his office he found
the silk missing, and at once called up
the Office boy. He reported that gang
had been in, and when they disappeared
the silk disappeared also. In an excited
state Mr.. Yates hurried OIL to the nearest
place where he thought the silk might
be found, but it was not there,
and then he struck out for Aman'S.
Here his hopes were realized and the man
behind the counter said he had a roll of
silk, but there was check of several
dollars against it, and he would have to
have ii liquidated before he surrendered
the collateral. Mr.. Yates liquidated, of
course, and he got his silk, but he didn't
get any revenge, and that is what he is
now lying in wait for, and the boys can
only escape by sending in separate
apologies each one accompanied by a
bottle of wine, box of cigars, or some
other soothing substitute.

that he would displace Republican
and give his place to a good Democrat
whom Voorhees, recommended. This
story, am assured, is untrue, and
true story Of his rebuff of politician
is quite to the'conirary. This politician
thought Dickinson was an ardent
spokesman, and he came in and ef-
fusively grasped his hand, saying:
