The weeping daughter nodded. "You

FADS OF SENATORS.
Statesmen Who Dress Well, Others Who
Are Slouchy and Odd.


Are Slouchy and Odd.
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, is the hand
somest man in the Senate-rather tall,
trinity built and we'll proportioned, with
brown eyes and gray hair and musrache,
says writer in the Chicago Times
Evarts might fairly be called the home
lest If it wasn't for the power in his
face that is almost sort Of beauty in
itself.
Four Senators are eminently well
drossed-Aldrich, Blackburn of Ken
lucky, Henderson Of Nebraska, and
Butler Of South Carolina. Many think
that Butler is the handsomest. But as
to dress it is close call among those
four.
The slouchiesto of the Senators in point
of apparel is Payne, of Ohio. Payne's
clothes simply hang upon him, his neck
tie is string, or looks like it, and his
collar Is always awry.
rQuay's great fad is gray; he never
wears any thing else. You might sup
pose that he always wore the same suit,
but in reality he has half dozen made
at time, all just alike and gray-the
same shade, too.
Frye, of Maine, is never seen without
carnation in his button-hole. He is
the dude of the Senate; he looks Younger
than no Is and dresses younger than he
looks. His hair is parted in the middle;
he wears bang and a gay necktie, and
although nearly sixty, no Is still good
deal of mashcr.

ment work on the new canal near Indian

Wight Bay, nine miles long and four
wide. In places 1t has innumerable
isiands aud rivers and crooks flowing into
II, the most noted OF the latter being 81.
Martins river and Grsy's creek. It is said
tho rock and perch fishing is very fiae
and that vast quantities are caught and
shipped during the season. Diamond
back terrapins are plentiful and in winter
Wild geese and ducks abound. Leaving
the Isle OF Wight, with its oharming rs.
turesque scenery, the party entered

which opens into another bcld BODY OF

point Is PbWnix Island light. house, with
Its heavy woodland surroundings. Green
corn fields, great sand heaps on the
beach, great marshes and quiet little
farms, and fishing places were obviously
commingled. After entering the canal an
interview was had with Mr.. Hudson, the
engineer In charge of the works. The
government is cutting this canal through
to Indian River bay, some four miles In
length. The waters will be conuscted by
1891. 1t Is proposed to make the bottom
OF the canal 10 feet wide, and to cut
canal through to Rehoboth tay.
When this Is done the waters Of
the Delaware and Chesapeake bays
will be united and there win |
be an internal navigable waterway
from the mouth OF the Delaware to the !
mouth or near the mouth of the OheSa.
peake. The connection south of Ocean
Oity through the Synepuxent bay aud
bay Is already complete by

necessity of deepening In some places.
