Hon. Julius II. Alderman, of Young

day in the city, dining at the Mer-
chants. Mr.. Ackerman is the gentle
man who resigned from the Republican
state committee two years ago on account
ofiliS lack of sympathy with the methods
used to control the Republican state
convention of that year. Afterwards
the Republicans of Carver took him up
and nominated him for the lower house
OF the legislature and he was SUISSE
auently elected in spite of the Iact that
Carver is strongly Democratic. The
fact is that Mr.. Ackerman is good
honest man who numbers his friends

Every house was full, and it became
quite question where sleeping quart

congressman. One bed was finally
offered the two by the captain
at the post. But this didn't
suit the venerable Holman. He
declared he would sleep with any man
but Joe Cannon. He finally retired
with the captain. When the two had
gone to the captains room the latter
produced a night shirt and apprised the
latter Of the fact that it was at his serv-
ice. The great objector was evidently
thinking of something else and failed
to avail himself of the captains
generous Offer. The next day
Congressman Cannon got hold of the
story and tormented Mr.. Holman
nearly to death during the balance of
his stay. He said that in the part of In

shirts were unknown.
