Of the master of the rolls, who, with Sir
James Hannen and Lord Justice Fry, was
occupied in deciding whether a Swedish
sartorial artist named Bolander was en-
titled to new trial in respect of an al
legged libel rejecting on his professional
capacity as a cutter of breast pockets.
Bolander, who was non-suited, had been
described in trade journal as drum
mer," which term the indignant Scandi-
navian declared meant novice capable
only OF evolving 'breeks." Hence the ju-
dicial comment.
In the United States drummer is the
equivalent of bagman. Here, from an ar

Bears you away. resistless, from my side,
While l, in silent sorrow, sit and weep.

Hold rest and peace, and leisure for your life

If, in our weary voyage DER Gfe's sea,
We meet perchance. and hail friendly bark
With CHEEKY call, and in their company
Drift for a space, we dread anew the dark

That drive US, hurrying, on the breakers dread.
Which, lnrking. wait their prey with treach-

Whether to joy or sorrow, who can tell?
Yet hope shall shed its bright and sifvery ray
Athwart the gloom, that all may yet be wen.
In time, perhaps, our lives once more may

In quiet joy again, as in the past,
With richer fullness; then God speed, my

THE FUNERAL OF COLONEL GOoo'
TOPEKA, Kan, March 12-The remains
of the late Col. n. S. Goss. state ornltholo-
gist, arrived today from Neosho fails via
panied by the following relatives: Captain
and Mrs. B. +. Goss, of Peawaukee, WIS;
C, w. Waterman and wife. Neosho Falls;
J. Bishop and wife, Neosho Falls; w. 7.
Mcconnell and wife. Mankato, and w.
McBrown, Fall River. They were met at
the depot by the state ofncers, GnleI
Justice Horton, Associate Justice John
SON, Mayor r. L. Cofran and members of
the city council, the police commissioners
of the city, and the pail bearers.
The remains were escorted to the capitol
building by platoon Of metropolitan po-
lice in full uniform, attended by the pail
bearers and followed by the relatives and
state officers in carriages. The remains
were taken directly to the senate chamber,
where, they were placed in state in front
of the presidents desk. After touching
services in the senate, the body was taken
to the Topeka cemetery and laid 10 rest
upon the little plot prepared years ago.
beside the companion whom he losG IN
early manhood and whom he mourned TO
the very day of his death. The pail bearers
were Judge w. A Johnson, Judge Samuel
A Kingman, Hon. Samuel I. Howe, hon
p !. Bouebrake Hon. James Smith, Col
A S. johnson. Hon. f. P. Baker and Maj.
VIM. Sims. The funeral procession WAS d
notable one.
Within the last few weeks the will OF
the deceased was SO changed that the
fund for the caring of his ornithoiogicai
collection reverts to his nephew, Mr..
Waterman. of Neosho. When Col. Goss
gave the state the collection, he exacted
condition that the state should provide
suitable room for his own private use.
This the state faithfully complied with.
Soon after making the gift, Col: Goss, who
was a wealthy man, made will IN which
he bequeathed a large sum OF money for
the maintenance and increase of the col
lection A little more than year ago
Secretary of State Higgins gave an old SOL
der lunch-stand privilege in the main
hall of the state house The old soldier
set up his stand in close proximity to the
pathological room, and the crowds that
daily visited the collection were always
loaded with edibles. This offended Col.
Goss. and he protested against the presence
of the Understand, but Mr.. Higgins re-
fused to YIELD and the old soldier held
possession. Col. Goss, who took great
pride IN the collection, regarded the act OF
Mr. Higgins a. lack of appreciation OF
the gift, and he at once had his friend,
Railroad Commissioner Humphrey, pre-
pare new will, omitting the bequest to
the state. Had he not given his word that
the ornithological collection should be-
come the property of the state, this, too,
would have been withdrawn.

EuSTIS.
HAWLEY.
BUTLER.

Many of the ladies who sit in the CALLER
les at the north end of the big Capitol
think Mr.. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, about
the handsomest man in the senate. A
large part of Mr.. Aldrich's reputation for
good looks springs, without doubt, from
his popularity as man and senator
Every one likes him, and in him we find
one of those rare combinations Of brains
and heart which can be positive and ener-
getic and stubborn, too, without mourning
enmity.
Senator Aldrich's popularity is by 10
means due to any weakness or softneSs OF
his character, for he is anything but that
A plain, blunt, active man, who shirks no
responsibility or task, he still has happy
way of making friends of all with whom
he comes in contact. His smile is bewitch-
ing, his handshake magnetic. it is the
good nature, the kin>'liness expressed in
his face which make his features hand
some.
Senator Aldrich wears a double breasted
short coat buttoned in front, which makes
him look all the more like business man.
He is tall, of graceful manners, his hair is
thin and gray, and ne is not yet so years
old He has been ten years in the senate,
and can without doubt remain here as long
as he likes, though it is rumored he in
tends retiring at the end of his present
term in order to go into some money max
ing business.
There are radically different opinions as
to whether or not Senator Wolcott Is en-
titled to be put down as handsome man.
The majority decides affirmatively. He is
little thick, and he has scarcely any neck
at all. and there is a sort of disguised ex-
preston in the lower part of mis- face, but
his features are good, the shape of mis- head
really pretty; he has plenty of hair OF q
kind which becomes hiu-snd il IL always
neatly parted straight down the middle
he dresses faultiessly. and is good natured,
dashing, popular, full OF animal spirits,
eloquent, beterodox, reckless.
Friend and foe alike say he is one Of ''the
coming men" OF the senate echamber-which
means that he is destined TO take a seat On
the front bench before he dies-one OF the
leaders and autocrats of the ancient body,
one of the select buf limited circle who
dare move an executive session or nlaks

officer. He surely Will reach this distinc-

MACoMB, Ills, March IA remarkable
curiosity made its appearance in the world
here yesterday morning. A mare belong
ing to Asher Blount gave birth to colt
about noon. The little animal was per
fectly formed horse, with the exception of
its head, which was as near like that of a
man as il could be without being human.
The neck is rather long and SLENDER the
cerebrum is round and about the size of a
grown man; the ears are delicately formed,
and in proportion 10 the size of the head;
the mouth and nose, though in their proper
place, are very much deformed, the two

TO the front when beauty is the theme-is
is IN their good nature, their ahabihty, ap.
proachability, popularity.
Senator Dixon looks like the handsomest
coachman You ever saw in the West End OF
London town, but he is American to the
core, and comes from q family in whose
veins flows the blush blood OF Yankee
dom. He is only 43, married, rich, likes

ly proud of the wariness OF his inky hair
and of the infallible and Interchangeable cor
rectness Of the parting line therein.
One Of the big, handsome fellows OF con-
gress is Senator Eustis, OF Louisiana, a
man Of large frame, tail, broad, huge in
every way, big feet and hands, giant head
and expansive open countenance. His nose
is enormous, his eyes immense and full of
expression, and when he laughs, as he
often does right merrily, large mouth is
exposed to view. Those who know him
well say his heart is proportionateiy larger
than any other member. Many strangers
ask his name, and not q few OF them buy
his portrait before leaving the Capitol as
that of the handsomest giant they have
seen within its walls. Senator Eustis re-
tires to private life in forty-eight hours.
Four exceedingly handsome men of ma
ture age and liberal hirsute adornment are
found in Senators Doiph, Berry, Stock
bridge and Hawley. The last named was,
indeed, but a few years ago one Of the very
handsomest men of congress. His regular
features, soldierly figure, liquid brown
eyes, Napoleonic beard and mustachios
have ere this attracted the attention of
thousands of pairs of admiring eyes, and
will attract many more before their glories

A Lesson in Law.

A young lawyer who has been practicing
at the bar for maybe three or four years re-
ceived one present which he did not appre-
ciate. 1t was nice enough present, but
WELL the whole story had better be told.
One morning a messenger boy brought
to the young attorneys house a package
done up in brown paper and tied with a
very inoffensive looking string. He car
ried the package into the dining room,
where his wife sat at breakfast, and she of
course started up full of excitement and
curiosity In fact it was she who took the
bread knife and cut the string Her hands
removed the brown paper and uncovered
the inner skin Of white paper sealed with
red wax A card-a plain visiting card
lay there. The young lawyer saw it,
and, heaven preserve usl blushed. The
card bore the name of a client of his whose
case he had conducted laboriousiy and ex-
pensively to defeat.
What does he mean by sending me a
PRESENT." he asked. 1.-The last time he was
in my Office felt inclined to pitch him
out of the window"
Perhaps he wants to make up, dear"
his gentler half suggested, as she proceed
ed to rip up the white paper with silver
hairpin. In few seconds a couple of vel
umes covered in law sheep were revealed
The attorney took one of the books up and
read the title, "Blackstone's Commentar-
les, vol. l." the other book was volume II.
What in thunder does he mean by send
ing me this!n he asked iercely.
Il am sure l don't know, dear" said she
meekly.
There was an uncomfortable silence for
several minutes. Then the attorney said,
with considerably more emphasis than can
be reproduced in words: Now / know
what that fool meant by saying when he
left me that he would teach me the rudi-
ments of law if he had to spend good
money to do it. l thought he was going to
sue me. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

PITTsBURG, Pa, March 12-Miss Clare
Mitchell, the belle of the village of Tur-
lick, Indiana county, mourns the loss of
two lovers, because she could not choose
between them. On Sunday she was to
have married John B. Reed. Just before
time for the ceremony. James Gibson
drove up to the Mitchell residence and
asked to see Clara just for minute. She
walked to the gate with him in her bridal
robe, and then, to the astonishment of the
company, followed him to his conveyance
and they drove away. Reed insisted that
the wedding feast should go on, at which
he presided. Before the guests had dis
persed the young woman returned and
astounded the company by declaring that
she could not choose between Reed and
Gibson and woald not marry at ALL Tues
day she relented and promised to marry
Reed, but again changed her mind before
the knot could be tied. Both Reed and
Gibson declare that they will not marry

A MATRIMONIAL SPECULATION

ALBUQUERQUE, n NJ, March IA
most sensational affair has just come to
light at the Montezuma hotel. Hot
Springs. Six months ago a two-times
millionaire of Chicago brought his wife
and 16-year-old daughter to the Springs.
The daughter was large and handsome,
but somewhat weak-minded. On the 10th
of February the daughter slipped away
from the hotel and was united in marriage
by local justice of the peace to the hotel
porter, man named Hogg. The girl re-
mained with her mother and nothing was
known of the marriage until the father
came to take the family home. Then Hogg
put in an application and claimed his
bride, but offered, it is said, to compro-
mise for go coo. The girl said she prefer
red TO go with her father rather than re-
main with the man to whom she had thus
far been united in name only. The Chi
cago family left on the morning train and
Hogg followed in the afternoon.
