The dispute over salaries OF employees of
both houses promises 20 be endless. The
Senate this morning asked for free con-
ference committee 20 adjust the matter.
and the judiciary committee OF the House
proposed that the matter be dropped right
there. After considerable debate it was
decided 70 concur in the SenaEe's request
and APPOINT S committee. The difficulty
arose in the first place in the appointment
of joint committee 10 adjust the salaries
of the two houses The Senate adopted the
rerort OF the committee, bat the House
made some aIteFa ions. Ii became neces-
saTv for the Senate 10 concur, but il
wouldn't is asked the House % rescind.
bat the House was just as obstinate. A
conference committee vas appointed. bat
didn't effect anything. and now free con-
ference committee IS determined on. The
action OF this committee viii be binding.

John W. Hendley's occupation is shown
forth on the government pay rolls as that
of ''modeller." The term is to some ex-
tent technical. AS applied to Mr.. Hend-
ley it means that he reproduces models of
anything set before him. He does not
take casts or impressions of the subject he
models, and it often happens that he adds
no little artistic merit to the subject. Mr..
Hendley attracted the attention of the late
Professor Baird, then chief of the National
Museum, and was invited to take his pres
emit position. His life before that time was
such as not many years ago was the dream
of young and adventurous spirits.
He described his beginning as a modeller
as follows:
81 was" said he, Gin my SISTERS house
when plate of grapes were placed upon
table was alone and contemplated the
fruit for something better to do. After a
while 1 became impressed with the desire
to copy them. OF course, l did not at
tempt it then, but the idea required and
the temptation finally overcame me. For
eight days and nights I worked, and at last
succeeded. The rest you know"
For some time Mr.. Hendley continued
that sort of work in leisure minutes
until Professor Baird offered him his pres
emit position, which he has held for about
eight years. Most of his work soes to the
museum, and peculiar feature of it is
that the better the work is done the lees it
is appreciated, for when done well the
finest efforts are invisible. Every now and
then some philanthropist sends some valu-
able article to the National Museum.
Many of these contributions are injured in
transit, and in such cases are sent at once
to Mr.. Hendley, who is expected to repair
them perfectly. Some of the most precious
pieces of sevres, porcelain and historical
ceramics have been through his hands,
and when he is through with them even an
expert cannot find the flaw. Not only
does he mend, but to such a degree has he
reduced the science of imitation that he re-
makes whole portions and fits them in go
cleverly that the substitution cannot be
discovered.

Gently ran scross an interesting scribe.
de was an sged Hebrew. He made a liv-
ing writing letters for other people, and
bis "ofios" was il fre0t OF corner gro
Gerry. near the Hebrew district in New
York. His stock in trade consists Of g
cheap glass iDkstand and few sheets OF
paper and envelopes, and, wheu the re-
potter appeared, he seemed to be doing
thriving business. HE had Just
faished writing in Hebrew scrip,
the letter he was readiOg over, while
the Young man ~ whom IL was
dictated stood by awaiting the addressing
OF the envelope, and another, with sealed
anvelope. waited mis- turn TO have his en-
velope addressed-he could write letter
to his correspondent in writing which
would be understood by her OF him, but
The address upon the envelope, he knew,
must be written so as TO be understood by
many strangers IN the postal service Of
various lands through which IL would have
to pass. The public scribe could write
10 Latin script, and he knew
how the letter must be addressed to
insure its reaching its destinaiOn-and his
fes was but two cents While the men
were being disposed Of o yOung woman
came with a small sum OF money which
sire wished to remit TO her parents in Bull
gsris. together with letter which she
would dictate. So the work of the old
man of letters went on. His lace wore
benignant aspect, and his thin nOstrils,
uched brows and large, clear, lustrous
eyes bespoke him man OF learning and OF
exceptional culture. He had probably
seen better days.

thing but hear.

Between Mr.. Hendley and Secretary of
Agriculture Rusk, there is said to be
warm friendship with possibly a little
jealousy on Mr.. Rusk's part, because Mr..
Hendley can produce better fruit than the
Agricultural Department. There is a
story going around about the friendship
between these two men which may not be
libel on Uncle Jerry. It is said that
whenever any very delicious specimens OF
foreign CT domestic fruits come to the De-
partment of Agriculture, Uncle Jerry calls
Mr. Hendley to come up and look at it.
The fruit is generally little green and is
expected to ripen in all it's beauty while
in the possession of the Department of Ag-
riculture. Every day until it ripens Mr..
Hendley looks at it until finally Uncle
jerry says;
''Now, Hendley, you make me one of
these for the Department. I'll eat this, as
1 don't feel very we'll"
Whereupon Uncle Jerry becomes the
consumer and Mr.. Hendley takes Natures
task and produces the fruit for the Depart
ment. 1t may be on account of this that
Mr.. Hendley's shop is sometimes called
uncle Jerry's farm" There is another
line of limitations that Mr.. Hendley does
that it might be well for fishermen to con-
slider. He can make such good imitation
of fish that one really looks to see it flop.
Any ordinary fisherman with a proper
tionate conscience might catch fish in
Mr.. Hendley's shop and take it home with
him. If he did, it would be safe to bet
that the cook would put it in the ice-bOx
without knowing the difference. Fruit,
flowers, fish, coins, men, beasts and
everything else come under Mr..

Washington Post.
When the Garfield administration suspi-
ciously opened, Mr.. Blaine sat more firmly
int1enched in the State Department than
any Secretary of State since the days OF
Seward 1t was evident that he was mas
ter of the situation. Ministers, ENJOYS,
consuls-general, consuls and diplomatic
agents moved at his nod, like pawns and
pieces on a chess board beneath a masters
hand. Oae favorite theory Of his, and not
unpopular one, was in favor of limited
tenure of service and rotation in Office. II
a consul had slumbered through three sd-
ninistrations at some 'far-aWay post, in a
dolce far niente of lotus-eating and salary
drawing existence, the keen Secretary as
founded him By inviting a return to the
shores of America and the appointment of
his successor.

day discussing affairs OF state with his i'm

WHO WOULD BE a CzARe
Uneasy Indeed, Is the Head Wearing the
Crown of All the Russias.


The Emperor OF Russia is in a state Of
panic which can neither be imagined nor
described. 1t was given out that he would
be the guest Of the German Emperor st
the Marble Palace, Potsdam, and when all
kinds of expensive preparations had been
made there, be decided that he wonld be
safer in Berlin, and large sum YVES ex-
pended IN arranging for his reception
at the Schloss. Finally, only enc
day before the EupeTo- ar
rived, Count SchCuvaloff received q
telegram from C5penhsgen to intimate
that His Mfiesty would alight at the Rus
sian Embassy, aad the message was quick
iy followed by the arrival Of the Imperial
WOrkmen, seven in number, who nov 90

the chimneys, locks, flooring walls and
furniture Of the house which the Emperor
is 20 occupy, and his own apartments
sre subjected to most rigid
search. The chimneys are OBJ
jec.s Of special at ention, and
every 1ue which leads 10 room which the
Emperor is likely 20 enter is thoroughly
barred both top AID bottom, and, a. if
these precautions were not sufficient police

the one which befen the Imperial trsin az

EXCHANGING SLEEPING Berries
An Amusing Incident Which Happened
ReeentlY.
Pdrkersburg Sentinel.

PdrkeTSburg Sentinel.
Capt Ed. Picket, of the B. & o. r. R.
relates the following: One night about a
month ago, about half an hour before we
left Baltimore, a couple Of gentlemen
came into my car with tickets emitting
them to two lower berths directly oppo-
site each other. One of them retired i'm
mediately, while his friend said he would
smoke a cigar before turning in.
Just before the train started a gentle
man and his wife entered the car. There
were no berths left except the two upper
ones directly over the berths engaged by
the two gentlemen. This did not suit
the gentleman and his wife, and they ask
ed me'if could arrange it so they could
have section to themselves. | said l
would try. So l went to the smoking
room and explained the situation to the
gentleman who had engaged the oppo-
site lower berth. "Why certainly, l will
exchange my berth with pleasure, he
said" Accordingly he occupied the
berth over his companion and surrender
ed his own to the gentleman and his wife
About half-past seven the next morning
as we were nearing Grafton the fun be-
gan. The man who went to bed first
woke up first. lie sat up on the side of
the berth, which he thought contained his
friend A bright idea seemed to take
possession of him. He reached down
and picked up one Of his shoes from the
floor and cautiously parted the curtains
Of the berth. 1t was dark within, so that
he only distinguished one form, that
lying on the outside. Then he raised the
shoe and dealt his supposed friend
thwack. An uneaythily female shrek
was the response. | shall never forget
the impression that came over the face Of
the man with the shoe he turned all sorts
Of color, as he sat on the edge of his
berth staring helplessly around him. In
the meantime the husband Of the abused
lady had jumped out into the aisle just as
the innocent companion who had yielded
up his quarters the night before was
sticking his head out between the curtains
to see what the row was all about. 1t
looked for minute as though there
would be riot.
1t took several minutes to cool the en-
ragged husband down so that he could I'M
derstand the situation. Husband and
wife left the train shortly afterwards at
Grafton, lying over for the evening train
for Cincinnati
