DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
Notable Statesmen Among the Ad-
miniStratiOn Leaders.
THEIR Personal TRAITS.
The Members from Missouri, Ken
lucky, Georgia, North Caro-
lima and Other States.

The Democratic party in the United
States Senate is especially strong this
winter and it has gained much through
its new members. David Turpie, the
modest little gray-whiskered man who
takes Ben. Harrison's place, has already
shown himself Of weight in committee
work He will be aforce on the floor and
will make speech before this Congress
/ has ended which will go ringing around
the country and put him in the galaxy of
great American debaters.
= Fo1ico, of Florida, is sound lawyer,
S1ic is fair exchange for Jones, who,
cforc lic grew crazy, made many good
peech, and Senator Faulkner has the
same strong qualities which made his
father SO noted. Reagan every one knows,
hndh he has already made his first speech.
IL was good one. though the voice in
which the Texas Senator uttered IL
sounded as though his human phono-
graph was kept in his boots, and he drew
the words out with n cultural sound
There are brains in Rufus Blodgett, and
his bald pate was not made for nothing.
He is u tall, four story kind of man,
with a presence that is bound to com.
1nand attention. These Senators will,
however, have little chance TO distinguish
themselves for several years. II Is the
etiquette ofthe Senate that new members
are to be seen and not heard, and tho
work will fall upon the old stagers.

AT THE ZOO"
A, Jaguar Added to the National Mu-
scun Menagcrie.

y, Jaguar Added To the National Mu-
scum Menagerie.
No more important acquisition has been
received by the menagerie annex to the
National Museum than the iaguar just Sc
cured. He is q Tc-eating Texan and is one
of the worst desperadoes that ever left
that State alive. The jaguar was the gift
of Mr.. j. w. Riddle of Eagle Pass, Texas.
Mr.. Riddle has had him some time. He
was caught when young and has grown
TO be undoubtedly the largest and finest
Iaguar ever in captivity. Mr.. Riddle had
received several large offers for "his iags,"
thejaguar, but held Off for $500 Finally
growing tired of him. because of his
villainous temper, he presented him to
the museum, setting an example well
worthy of being followed by anyone who
has wild beast to spare
The iqguar came by express in n strong
wooden cage, labeled "This tiger is dan
gerous,' and the express messengers along
the route seem to have been much inn
pressed with the truth of this announce
ment. One of them penciled his senti-
lnents on the cage as follows: "This tiger
is named Jim Riddle. Look out for him
lie is bad man from Bitter Creek"
Another wrote: "He can lick his weight
in wildcats, and he weighs TOM an
other He can take the pot and
another admirer wrote, "lle is Il darling
tiger, and don't you forget it,"
He now lives in handsome cage made
purposely for him and growls viciously
at the small boys who poke sticks ut him
"to make him stand up" He docs not
take much time Mt his meals and gets out
side Of his daily four pounds of raw
meat with celebrity that is tritlc intim-
idatpg. He weighs about 100 pounds and
is beautiful specimen, his sleek fur reg
ularly mottled with black and yellow
spots and looks more like n tiger than
anything else and he has mouth and
teeth that make visitors take q personal
interest in the strength OF the bars of his
cage.
The menagerie has also received an
other addition in the shape of an immense
black bear from the Santce Swamp in
South Carolina. lie weighs not less than
225 pounds, and when he stands up on his
hind legs he is over five feet tall, He is
quite tame, and Professor Hornaday en-
ters hispen with the utmost freedom, and
the bear will soon he as safe as a dog.
This bear has so long been living in cap
tiyity that lie has acquired civilized
tastes. lie will not eat meat unless il is
cooked and he likes it well done.
jim, the young cinnamon bear is de-
yeloping a very surly temper, and when
his collar is made larger, as il must be in
a few days there will be time.

First, there Is Vest, who it is said,
sleeps with the President and whose five
feet seven is packed full ofcourage. Vest
made splendid speech on Blair's Educa-
tional bill three weeks ago, and he is an
able debater. He has good voice, and
At tears the air as he talks. He looks
\nucb like Henry Watterson, and his
S5(yle is that of a decided blonde. A lock
of blonde hair hangs down on his broad
forehead, and blonde moustache shines
out from undershis pugnacious nose. He
wears % goatee, or rather a wisp of white
whiskers, just under his chin, about as
big as the end of o WORKOUT tooth brush,
and his eyes are as blue as the predomi-
nant color in the train of the peacock.
Vest is a good story teller, and he is full
of hurnor. He can dictate well, and he
does q great amount of work.
Heisn far different man from his col
league, Senator Cockrell, and l think
GookTell perhaps, is the harder worked
xnan of the two. Coelsrell is also Demo-
cratic lender, and he labors 80 that it
makes q lazy man tired to look at him.
He used, last year, six two-quart bottles
of ink in his private correspondence and
havenever seen his desk in the Senate
free from litter of work. lie labors at
his home and in the committee, and his
fellow,Senatorsp put upon him the hardest
and most brain,wearing work. All last
summer he spent in investigating the ins
and outs of the departments. He found
many things in bad order, and has sug-
gested many Improvements.
just near Vest sits Senator Beck, and
my artist has sketched him reading your
paper. Beck is another interchangeable
worker, but he. lives on oat meal, and
tones up his system on hot Scotch now
and then, and he will last TO green old
age. His black hair is, however, begin
ming TO grow gray at the edges but the
iron Of his blood still shows out in his
dark, ruddy complexion, and the joints of
his ponderous frame move on each other

EDIToR CRITIC: Your correspondent
spent the past summer at Lake George,
NY. One day while rambling along
its romantic shores his mind reverted TO
the distant past. Here was the home of
the Red man and in these romantic
hooks the Indian lover wooed his dusky

Colonel Livingston Schuyler, son of Cen

This grim old veteran of three wars

called saltwater, and was present at the

Schuyler, at his fathers General

house Is still standing; and he has the
table ut which this trinity of heroes diued
on that memorable occasion.
Later on,
DURING THE MEXICAN WAR,
Colonel Schuyler was volunteer aid on
the staif of General Taylor and was pres

without apparent friction. Beck is re-
markable for figures, and his head, which
is big enough to fill peck measure, has
q great mass of miscellaneous informa-
tion packed away in it. This Beck spits
p. outwhen he Is speaking, and hespeaks so
often that his encyclopedia of knowledge
dazes the Senatorial minds of less
strength. Beck knows how to take things
easy, and he has learned, ! think, the
philosophy Of dropping job when he is
done with it and thinking up something
else Like all Kentnckians, he is fond of
good horses, and he knows the pedigree of
every noted steed in the world. He can
tell horse stories, and, indeed, his Scotch
accent comes out VOL, when he assumes
the role of raconteur He is strong man
on silver, and his ideas on free trade areas
positive as though he lived in England
aud had founded the Golden Club.
Beck weighs twice as much as Joe
Blackburn, but Joc's voice Is quite as
heavy as Beck's. Blackburn is one of the
finest speakers in the Senate, and he has
the ways of an orator. His voice is
silyertoned, and he is proud when his
friends call him "the Henry Clay of to-
day" Blackburn is also a good story
teller, and he has ! 500 different words at
his tongues end.
