Public Men at the PLAY.


Colonel Robert q. IngersoN loves good
legitimate drama. He is always with the
crowd, and leads the applauders when he
sees good thing
Secretary of the Navy Tracy has not
been to theater since he lost his wife by
the burning of his mansion in Washing
ton. When he did go he was always Sc
date. He appreciates witty sayings,
though. He is unlike his predecessor,
Mr.. Whitney, who is first nighter. Mr..
Whitney presents a very distinguished ap-
pearance. He dresses in faultless style
and is always accompanied by ladies' He
laughs with the crowd and appreciates
sentiment in play by dignified attention,
George Gould escorts his wife. who was
Actress Edith Kingdom before marriage.
They both love a good play, but are not
great enthusiasts. Jay Could has NO time
,or the theater. When he does 60 he
seldom stays through play.
Governor Hill, Mr. Cleveland and Mayor
Grant are good patrons Of the theaters.
They laugh and applaud with the rest Of
the audience.
William Waldorf Astor's purse Is al
ways open to aid legitimate drama and the
opera he is a great lover Of Wagnerian
music.
The statesmen. with few exceptions. dress
in the conventional evening dress at the
theaters. They like a little recreation, and
are quick TO recognize good thing when
tazx see it

Gambia, n. h. June 10.

Mr. Foss, THAT l did not shine with any
meteoric brilliancy in college. The studies
were too hard for me. But was class poet,
and was helped to the position doubtless
through the prevailing opinion that it is not
necessary for poet to know much" By
which it will be seen that Mr.. Foss adds
modesty to his other virtues.
In 1888 he became editor of the Lynn
(Mass.) Union, and it was on this paper
that he took up the writing of humorous
poetry, entirely by accident In order to
brighten the paper he thought it would be
a good thing to run some humorous mat
ter, and humorist of some repute vol
unteered, but one day he had chance
to make more money elsewhere, and Mr..
Foss found himself with column of funny
matter to write and no one to write it. So
he put his shoulder to the wheel, made
martyr Of himself and wrote the funny
column which the other fellow had dropped.
Il had previously" says Mr.. Foss, writ
ten some poetry of a melancholy and
lugubrious nature, after the manner of
young poets, but now wilfully tried to
be funny" His poetry attracted atten-
ton at once, and in 1886, when he left the
Union, he became contributor to nearly
every humorous paper in the country and
many of the big dailies. He says: Il wrote
verse steadily eight hours a day, and wrote
several poems, such as they were, daily.
Some of it was poor stuff, of course, but
managed to grind out one or two poems a
week that met with pretty general popular
favor" He became editor of the Yankee
Blade in August, 1887 and is under con-
tract to write at least one poem week.
ar &C -l,o% II 10,
when l sit down." he says. Occasionally
l know as little about it after get up"
Mr. Foss was the originator of his pecul-
lar school of verse which dealt in long
words and had a rattle about it that seems
to catch hold and shake. There is nothing
pessimistic about his work, and his verses
have good wholesome favor about them,
AS a philosophical dialect poet he ranks
next to Jim Riley. When he went ON the
Yankee Blade he also got married, and
when he isn't engaged in editorial work or
writing poetry you eau find him home.

ST. Lou,s TO Colorado via Wichita.

Commencing Sunday, July 10, 1890, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from ST. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account OF great many peo-
pie from the east going to Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives us through sleeping car
service Wichita toSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people a chance to go east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens Of Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to st. Louis or
Colorado.

1t is an odd fact that Vermont and New
Hampshire, lying side by side, similar in
character of population and political Gus
toms, hold the records for extremes of long
and short service. New Hampshire has
been in the Union 102 years, and in that
time has had forty-three senators. giving an
average of less than five years to each sem
ator. Vermont, on the other hand, has
been 100 years in the Union, and has had
only twenty-five senator's, an average serv-
ice of nearly ten years. In this connec-
ton am reminded that yesterday, April ),
was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
appearance in the senate of George F. Ed
munds
But one man. / believe-Thomas Benton.
of Missouri-served a longer time continu-
oUsly, and only two or three men have seen
longer service in the aggregate. Vermont's
record of long service in the senate is Ger
tainly remarkable. Stephen r. Bradley,
one of the early senators, served twelve
years; Dudley Chase, his successor, served
twelve years: Samuel Prentiss, Chase's
successor, served eleven years, then resign
ing; William Upham served ten years;
Jacob Callamer, ten years, and Senator
Edmunds' colleague, Justin 5. Morrill,. has
served but eleven months shorter time
than Mr.. Edmunds himself. With her
present senators looking back upon an ag-
gregate of half centHry's service, IT is not
surprising that little Vermont leads ali the
old states of the Union in this respect.
The state which excels all others, includ-
ing Vermont, in length of service is Ne
vada. In twenty-siX and a half years of
representation in the senate Nevada has
had but five senators, giving an average
service of nearly eleven years. Senator
Stewart served from 1864 to 1875, and was
succeeded by Sharon and Fair, six years
each, when Stewart was again elected
James W. Nye served from 1864 TO 1873, and
was then succeeded by Senator Jones, who
has been here ever since, and who has Just
been reelected 10 his fourth term. Ii
should be said Of Nevada, however, that il
Is what Is known as rotten borough
state, few men controlling the parties
and the elections.
OF the states IN which the conditions are
normal Kansas has a remarkable record
The senate, the reader should know, is di-
video into three claSSes-l. , and $50 that
the terms OF one-tbiro the senator's expire

THE YANKEE BLADE MAN.

have read his poems, and whose name, arm
in arm with that of the paper, goes stroll

of an editor. He writes his poems at his
desk in the office where he does his other
work Mr.. Foss sitting thus at his desk,
grinding out some of the lines that shake
the diaphragm of the nation, does not seem

is that about the expression which betrays
