Another interesting feature in the lobby con-
gress the night before the caucus is the man
who starts rumors. He is generally a quiet
sort of person. who moves softly through the
crowd as q disinterested spectator. When he
sees the opportunity and the right person he
asks how the thing looks. Then he casually re-
marks upon the latest report. Haven't heard
it! Why; and lie relates it. He thinks it must
be true. for he heard very well-informed man
tell another well-informed man, and they both
acted on the information. Having let this drop
on fertile soil he moves softly away and is only
indifferently interested in what is going on
about him.
Not taking any particular interest in the
sponsorship contest. but forming part of the
hotel lobby congress that grows i'll size and
Importance and helps to swell the crowd as the
hour for the meeting of Congress approaches,
are the delegates who have something to
terest the real Congress in when it meets.
unofficial delegates are moving about making
acquaintance and pressing their little plans.
They are not in such a state of excitement
are the speakershlp candidates, who have but a
few hours more to do all they must have done.
The worlds fair, the silver, pensions claims,
subsidy, and what not. that may be represented
by these most MISUNDERSTANDING gentlemen
OF the lobby congress, have plenty of time
before them. Bnt the unofficial delegates are
applying themselves to their task with dill

dignity to the night scenes and their social
qualities and easy manners mark them among
the throng.

As the time for the caucus approaches the
assemblage in the hotel Hobbies swells in size
The last night before the thing is to be settled
is when the campaign is at fever heat, and the
obby congress is worked up to a high pitch OF
excitement. The Hobbies are crowded. The
friends OF the respective candidates are but
ton holing unpIedged members and arguing
gesticIlating and declaiming before those
whom they find difficult to bring around to
their way of thinking. Fine wires are being
worked by the delicate hands of skilled eastern
manipulators, and the cowboy is casting his
lariat and dragging in the members at the
ropes end. There is plotting and counter
plotting, claiming and disputing claims, and
the clrculatOrs of false reports are dropping
whispers here and there that they may be
taken up by the echoes and be sent vibrating
through the arched corridors where the crowd
may hear.
Each hotel wears the colors of the candidate
who has his headquarters there. At the Ebbitt
last night the name of Mckinley was on every
tongue. At the Riggs it was Burrows whose
praises were sung. At Wormley's Henderson
had q boom. Then at the Shoreham-well,
there was a discussion of sentiment at the
Shorehami On the first floor it was neutral;
on the third floor the Cannon boom was kept
up, while on the fourth there was no doubt in
the world that Mr.. Reed is to be the Speaker.

WHERE STATESMEN MEET,
IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES.
Characteristic Scenes About the Hotels
on the Eve of the Opening of
Congress.

Congress assemblies first in the hotel lobbies
The lobby congress is now in session. Senators
and Representatives from the north, the south.
the east and the west, and citizens and stran-
gers, nearly all castles and conditions of men,
come together in the Hobbies of the principal
hotels to discuss all sorts of topics. The silver,
the tariff, the state of the nation, the posi-
bilities and probabilities and prospects in
politics two years hence, claims, pensions and
patronage, the weather and the cause Of it.
These things and many more are discussed and
considered from all standpoints, with no one
TO preside and no one to raise a point of ORDER
Principally during the few days preceding
the opening of Congress the speakership and
the general organization of the House occupy
the lobby congress. and around the hotels
where the speakership headquarters are the
members and throng assemble. First there are
the members who are working earnestly for
their favorite candidates. Then come those
who are already pledged and are anxious lest
they have cast their lots with losing man.
Anxiously these watch and ask for the least re-
port or rumor that may reflect the probability
OF the contest. Mingling among them are the
members who are still free to cast their votes
as they desire. Proudly and independently
they move about. fattered and petted and
sought after by all the candidates, free to swell

there that Reed, Burrows and Cannon are all
Knocked out and-very quietly--that Hender-
son is going to be the Speaker. In the lobby
there the friends of the Iowa candidate are
assembled.
The new member then goes to condole with
Mckinley. Despondent and knocked out?
Why. bless You! Mckinley is the only man
who has ghost of a show! The lobby of the
Ebbitt is crowded with folks who will tell you
that. At this point the new member. seeing
that all the candidates have been elected dur
ing his tour, is a bewildered mortal, but comes
to the conclusion that he will have to let the
caucus decide which Speaker shall take the
gavel.

The most interesting thing in the lobby
congress last night was the new member who
had not vet made up his mind how to vote.
The average new member waits to vote for the
best man, and, if possible. for the winner.
Somewhat lacking in experience and not famil-
lar with the candidates, he is perplexed to tell
how to vote. He is the lawful prey for the
canvasser and it is amusing to watch the vari-
Gus arguments, Establishments and influences
that are brought to bear on him. When he APP
pears in the Riggs lobby he runs into boom
for Burrows. 1t is the last night before the
caucus and all the boomers are at work. In a
moment he is captured. On all sides he hears
the one report that Burrows is going to get
there. He tries a little eayesdropping.
He listens to what the group of gossips
are saying among themselves in hopes of hear
ing an unprejudiced opinion that may aid him
An old veteran of the lobby sees him and be-
gins to declare to his frlend-for the members
beneft-that the thing is settled. Il tell you, ~
he says to his friend, I've got the very inside
of it. Burrows is the man. ] know what am

teenth century the material value of fans was
greatly enhanced by ant Besides a number Of
nameless painters. whose grace and skill would
secure them a conspicuous place among the
artists OF the present time, men of eminence,
like Vatican and Boucher, did not disdain TO
employ their genius in decorating fans. No
wonder that the brushes of such men invested
works created merely for passing fashion
with permanent value, rendering them even
now eagerly sought for collections. When we
hear that the dowager empress Of Russia. the
ex-empress Eugene and one of the harnesses
Won Rothschild are rivals in this most fascin-
atlng OF all the manias for collecting, and that
the latter lady alone possesses three genuine
Watteaus, we must admit that here again art
has ennobled a mere article OF luxury.
Another form of the fan which affords still
better surface for artistic decoration is the
''ecrau," principally manufactured in France,
which consists OF piece of thin material
stretched tightly in light frame, and intended
to screen the face from the direct heat of the
fire.
Among the thousand purposes to which fan
can be applied by the hand of a beautiful
woman is that of a salver on which to gracefully
proffer q rose, card or some other light arti-
Gle.
THE MODERN FAN,
according to the drift Of the present century,
adopts for decoration all the fancies of the
past. Inc folding shape predomnates, but the
other varieties present some very charming
hoNeiues. One OF the most attractive Is n nat
ural dried palm leaf with light decoration of
ribbons and fresh flowers which of course
must be renewed for each occasion. Nor are
the ladies of the present day whit behind the
falr danes OF the courts of the French kings.
A clever writer has so well expressed the So
cai vaiue of this dainty trfle that literal quo
tation of her words will fifty close this brief
sketch:

In one way and another the new member
gets the idea that there is a sort of pell-meli,
heels-over-head rush to Burrows. He rather
expects all the other headquarters win be closed
up, but he goes on his rounds. At the Shore
ham he finds the lobby crowded. He has two
different conclusions forced upon him at once.
First, that Reed is elected-has got the thing
out Of hand; that there has never been any
doubt OF that since last spring. The second
conclusion is that it is Mr. Cannon who sshas
it, not MIR. Reed; that the west has knocked

converted the whole assemblage to q western

CoNSTABLEs ON THE oUI vIvE.

The report that the constables are hustling
TO make full returns of all cases of illicit
liquor selling in their respective bailiwicks,
at the September term, is an indication that
past experience has had very saluta-y
effect on the local guardians of the laws.
The reasons which an interview elsewhere
set forth as powerful in their effects on the
Dogberrian mind, are, first, the exposures
already made in the "speak-easy" conspiracy
cases, which are not expected to rebound to
the constabulary credit; next the very
salient warnings of the judges at past terms,
and finally realizing sense of the impend-
ing penalties of the Brooks law. Under
these circumstances the officers of the law
have come to the conclusion that it will be
decidedly for their advantage not TO turn a
blind eye to any of the unlicensed grog-
cries.
1t is well that some influences are strong
enough to set the constables against the
speak-easies, but is not the fact that consid-
erations of this sort are needed to make
public officials do their duty equal to whole
volume of commentary upon the influences
that prevail in the selection of constables.
