Special Washington Letter.
Years ago the Hobbies of the Senate
were swept and garnished. The apple
women and cigar vendors were turned
out, and the precincts reduced to order
and dignity befitting the place.
Now the House seems likely to follow
suit. Speaker Reed has issued an edict
that the hucksters within the House wing
shall scatter and depart. And there is
much CONSERVATION among these long
tolerated parasites. Yesterday every
member that stepped out of the House
was instantly seized upon by one of the
humble servitors and tearfully implored
to promise" something; probably that
he would try to suage the virtuous
wrath of Reed. The photograph men
and the cake and apple women were ex-
cited and solicitous about their future.
The most interesting specimens of hu-
manity are the back numbers that are
still to be seen in these old familiar
places. The card man at the door,

Hannah, the apple woman, and Mrs.

Promptly at 10 o'clock oil Hannah comes
trudging into the House corridor with
her basket of red and yellow apples,
carrying her little footstool, on which
she seats herself in one of the window
ca ements.
Old Aunt Clara" looks exactly as she
did % years ago when she first came to
Washington. She was once a prosper
Gus millinery merchant in New Orleans,
although her history runs farther back
than that. She is French woman, who
in her youth. il is said, was remarkably
beautiful. One of the most famous
American statesman conceived q passion
for her, and for many years she enjoyed
his fullest confidence and friendship.
The war cost her her little fortune in
New Orleans, and she came to Washing
ton somewhat unsettled in mind. She
used to go into the Senate gallery and
wave a small silk flag, making wild e.;
pressions of delight whenever n strong
Union speech was made. Charles Sum
ner became her friend and secured for
her the privilege of keeping a stand in
one of the Senate corridors. From there,
n few years later, she was moved over
into the corridor just off the dome on the
House side, where she is now ION nee

mace handsome living from her sale of
notions and has educated her son and
daughter as well as they would have
been had they been the children of n
millionaire. The boy was sent to Yale
College and is now living in Europe.
Aunt Claras name is not Clara, and
probably there is no one in Washington
who knows exactly what it is or what
her antecedents were. She seems to be
as familiar with the German as with the
French language.
The pages in Congress are always an
interesting lot of boys. The older ones
are as bright shrewd, and well informed
as boys can be. The fresh ones are in
teresting because of their freshness ard
their burning desire to learn all the tricks
and ways of their older comrades The
fact that several public men. including
Senator German, of Maryland, Dick
Townsend, of Illinois, and the multi
millionaire, Congressman Scott. of Penn
sylvania, were at one time pages seems
to fire the breast of every boy who gets
an appointment with the notion that
some time he, too, may become famous
and come back to take a seat in one house
or the other as a statesman. Their IA.
vorito caper is to draw off in bunch
and 60 through the forms of mock
House or Senate. They show remark
able fairness in the distribution of hon.
ors. and the best politician and smartest
boy is generally elected Speaker. Every
fellow in turn is given a chance to make

not moved until after all have had fair
chance.
The young Wcbsters and Clays ges-
ture, gesticulate, stride UP and down,
rant, and make the old chamber ring
with their youthful speeches. Now it is
the postal telegraph, another time the
surplus, and again the tariff that engages
their attention. Some of their speeches
are very we'll made, and would do credit
to Congressman of the real sort. Alto
gether the life of page of the Senate or
House is pleasant and instructive. They
learn to be gentlemanly, quick, shrewd,
and well informed. It is counted quite
prize among people well-to.do to have
their boys put on the roll as pages for a
winter or two, simply for the sake of ex-
perience.
The position of doorkeeper is difficult
one. When man has held the pc Stion
long enough to become familiar with the
faces of Representatives and Senators
his superiors hesitate to make changes.
The task of attending any of the doors
of the House for the first few weeks of a
new session is burdensome one. For
Instance, in this Fifty-flrst Congress

there are 142 new faces in the House,
and it is very bright man who can re-
member them all at the end of a weeks
service. Besides this, all the old men,
bers have shifted their seats and are scat
tered about the chamber, so that they
can not be quickly placed. But the
doorkeeper must know them all, and so
must the official reporters recognize them
the instant they rise to their feet.
1t is curious to learn what sort of men
seek the position of doorkeeper. For
many years at one of the doors Of the
House gallery there stood n man who
had been major general in the United
States Army. At another door was an
old colonel. Men prominent in State

they are men of more than ordinary in

the best confidants of public men. All

Smoker to stop.


Smoker To stop.
Mr.. Field, through his correction with
the Manhattan Railroad Company, is
known tc every employee on the four
ro,ds-especially the gatemen. The lat
ter all admire him-from q distance; but
when he happens 10 pass through their
station it is a different matter, an a
heartfelt sigh of relief goes out when he
boards a train and leaves the platform.
This anxiety on their part is due solely
to his bitter hostility to tobacco smoke.
The rules of the company insist that no
smoking shall be tolerated on the plat
form, and he is credited with seeing that
it is enforced as much as possible.
Iwtnes ed n most amusing incident
one day recently, in which Mr.. Field
played prominent part. He came I'M
expectedly on a downtown station at a
time when four or five gentlemen were
enjoying the fragrance of good cigars.
Mr.. Field actually glared at them; then,
turning to the unlucky gateman. he
poured on his head all the wrath at his
command. Pointing out one individual

in the meantime the millionaire promised
to stand guard over the box. The gate
man promptly responded, but bearing in
mind the rule which said no violence
should be used, he simply requested the
gentleman to throw his cigarette away.
The latter declined, and Mr.. Field on
hearing it went to the attack himself.
At first he requested, then demanded,
that the smoking should stop. The Gig
arctic fiend, however merely smiled, and
pulled the harder. The other smokers
recognized Mr.. Field, and also sent on.
dense volumes of smoke. Finally the
objector got Disguised, and jumping into
train which just then came into the
station he took his departure and specu-
lated on human wickedness until he
reached the end of his journey. The
most gratified individual of the parties
to the comedy was the gatenan. Now
he sees, he muttered under his breath,
"that it is not 50 easy to enforce the

made stationary like that of bread

inch bicycle wheel built which he fitted
to the back Of his buggy By means Of
stout iron fork running forward from
the hub Of the wheel in downward
curve. and supporting the seat so the
body Of the buggy is nicely balanced
between the horse in front and the
single large velocipede wheel at The
