Freaks of congressman.

Lewiston Journal: 1t is we'll known
that the senators and congressme n
write their own biographies that APP
pear in the Congressional Directory.
This fact makes them all the more in
teresting. The statesmen are allowed
in general way to say what they please,
but there are instances where the
compiler of the directory has to
do some pretty thorough pruning.
in answer to the usual request what
would have filled Il dozen pages of the
directory. He gave full history Of his
and his wife's families, the character
istics of his children, the names OF the
husbands and wives and children OF
those married. and introduced several
illustrated sketches or incidents in bear
and bee and coon hunting. He intro
duccd n poem on spring, written by his
second Oldest son, gave the names OF
two young fellows, rivals for the hand OF
his daughter, named Pink" and de-
scribed the distress she was suffering
over the question of which she should
choose. The compiler cut the ''biOg-
raphy' down to eighty lines.
a Kentucky congressman in his biog-
raphy described a stock farm owned by
him, named the horses, and gave their
pedigrees, records and prices. An
other Kentuckian mentioned, among
events of his eventful life, the number
of fights he had been in, and gave de-
scriptions of two, in each of which he
had killed man, and gave the names
of the men he had slaughtered. One
Ohio man gave the number OF sheep
he owned, the fluctuations in the
price of wool in an elaborate table, and
introduced a strong protest against re-
duction of the duty on wool, all of which
| was sacrificed a congressman from
Iowa sent in his biography in verse, and
very bad verse, too. Another from the
same state stated that he was living
separate from his wife, but in detailed
statement laid all the blame upon hcr

| men TO overlook the matter, and to the
speaker not TO allow himself to be in
fuenced by it in assigning him to com

A Blow at Legitimate Snort.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. l3.-ISpccial Telegram
to the BEE. The bicycle race which was to
have come off last night between Whitaker
and McCurdy has developed into quite sem
sation. 1t was arranged for 5000 sidc
with side bet of $500 Yesterday $4,000 in
two bets was put up with j. :. Woods by
Thomas T. Roe of Chicago and w. A. Tan
ner, the hackers of McCurdy and WhNtakcr
respectively. Whitaker claimed that his
wheels were plugged with emery and 1t was
fixed for him to lose 1t looks us if both men
were looking for a sure thing and both were
afraid they would miss it, consequently the
trouble. The facts in the case are that sew
eral weeks ago McCurdy and Whitaker met
in this city and signed articles for fivo.mile
race, the stakes at the time beng named as
'from s., 800 to 5000 a side"
The supposition is quite general now that
the race was arranged to get whatever gate
money might be taken in. Then both
McCurdy ana Whitaker left the city.
Less than two weeks McCurdy dropped
back into town, accompanied by Tom
Roe and man named Davis from Chicago
In a day or two it was noised about in sport
ing circles that Roe and DAVIS had come to
Minneapolis to back McCurdy heavily and
with the evident intention of "doing up"
Sl'oi tiiE ihc rave was Stl
to come off January 8. At the time $500
side had been posted and the same day 81 800
additional was posted. The Chicago men
went on with their clever work. They didn't
see money enough yet in sight to pay for the
time spent in Minneapolis and made another
bluff Gt Whittakers hacker. The bluff was
met. The Chicago men had Il scheme to buy
up Whitaker, but they had to bid high and
the scheme couldn't be worked unless they
could place the stake money up to very
much higher notch. Time ran on until yes
terday, when the stakes wore increased to
s., 400 u side Whitaker was on hand last
night ready for the race Notwithstanding
his wheel had been found plugged during the
afternoon. McCurdy finally refused to ride
and the scheme of his hackers TO prevent
the race was carried out. Suddenly the
| lights in the rink were turned out, the re-
feree decided Whitaker winner and Mr.
Wood who held the stakes, turned the money
over to Tanner. The latter made $, 400 out
| of the deal
81 could see no way out Of the matter than
| to turn the money over to Tanner" said Mr.,
Wood this morning. "Thcse fellows came
here with the purpose 10 do up Tanner and
other Minneapolis men. They bought up Whit
taker to throw the race because they knew
| that he could beat McCurdy. Whitaker had
! an agreement in his pocket, signed by Nc
Curdy's hackers, in which they promised to
give him s., 800 to throw the race. They then
began to fear that the other side had bought
him and their scheme then was to prevent
the race

THE UNION PACIFIC.
w. II. Delaney Thinks the Pacific
COmmiss ion ion Too Severe.

New York, Jan. 13.-The Tribune pub
fishes the text of letter from Lawyer W.
II. Delaney who represents the holders of
consolidated mortgage bonds Of the Kansas
Pacific railway to President Cleveland
Delaney says he thinks the recommends
tions of the Pacific railroad commission
as to the terms which the government should
require from the Kansas Pacific road for a
settlement of its claims against that organi-
zaton, are too severe. He says the trusteet,
Jay Gould and Russell Sage, coverted $500, 600
of its securities to have their own use,
thereby making the property less able to
meet its obligations both to the government
and the holders Of bonds and he thinks the
government should abate its claims some
what for time so that the bond holders may
receive their interest pending the outcome of
the proceedings against Mcssrs. Gould and
Sage. These proceedings, he says, are de-
layed by the fact that Gould is
beyond the jurisdiction of the courts and
that, in the absence of extradtion treaties,
he can only be brought back for trial by ex-
eoutive request through diplomatic channels,
and he informs the president that formal
application for Gould's rendition will be
made to the department of state.

Ministers Object to Sunday Ball.

With the thermometer below zero and tbS
wind blowing gale, the Presbyterian Minis-
ters' association are enabled to reo'. the hand
writing on the wall, and havo determined to
take time by the forelock and entes positive
but gentlemanly protect against the playing
of base ball on Sundays during the coming
season The appended communication has
been sent 20 the management of the Omaha
Base Eall association, and the outcome Will
be "aited with interest:
TO the Managers Omaha Base Ball Club
Gentlemen: Noticing in the daily press that
you are arranging dates for the coming base
ball season, we take this early opportunity
for protesting against Sunday games. This
we do from no captious dislike of our national
pastime; on the contrary, we would be glad
to patronze the exhibitions of skill you prom
iso, if we could do so consistently. Nor do
we take this action from mere theological de-
fense of the Sabbath-however binding the
fourth commandment may seem to us. we
base our protest upon the fact that games
seriously disturb the quiet and usefulness OF
our worship, particularly in the churches To-
Gated near the grounds and consequently
are, within the meaning of the law, nul-
sancc. We therefore most respectfully re
quest YOU to observe the laws of God and
man as to the rest and quiet of the Sabbath.
And we feel that it is no more than right and
fair to give YOU this timely notice that, in
case Sunday games are advertised for the
coming season, we will do all in our power to
prevent them by legal means Yours re-
spcctfully,
PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER'S ASSOCIATION.

mcnt. They will now need to be supported,
and another assessment of printers through
out the country must be made. Already ap-
pications from twice the number necessary
to fill cases have been received. w. n.

stay. Any of the old men wishing to return
must do so before that hour. From this time
