Senator Jones gives considerable money Z,

out for walk. Az he reached the street q pro

No man ever escaped from work SO rapidly az
he, and the Senator laughed very heartily AZ
he realized that he was yet to be fooled by
tramps who are dying to 60 to work.

WHY LEAVE WASHINGTON?

What on earth does anybody want 70 leave
Washington now for? Not long since the
writer saw an advertisement in New York
paper extolling the merits of the capital during
the months OF May and June and urging peo.
pie TO 60 thereby certain route, which was
represented as being q travelling palace on
wheeis-and, as q matter Of fact, this advertiser
had hit the nail on the head. Our city Is fast
becoming spring resort, just - much a. Q
winter resort There II no other city half 20
beautiful nor is there any place where the
climate Is more delightful at this season Of the
year. The trees are all out and Washington

THE HACKS MAY HAVE HrsroR1rs.

The hacks themselves-what histories they
have. That high, old-fashioned barouche that
barely hangs together and is 80 dreadfully
shabby may have been the property of one Of
the greatest swells in Washington in times gone
by. Possibly Lafa yette rode in it and Monroe
and before him Marcia Burns and the gallant
young Van Ness. The bject is too vast. Any body
can conjecture easily enough the history of the
drivers Of night liners and of the passengers
who make use Of them, but when it comes to
the horses and the hacks themselves broad
field opens for the imagination to roam over,
and SO let the subject be left for The STARS
readers to amphiy to suit their own sweet
fancy.

SUMNER CARD PLAYING.

Some men play cards in summer, and
whether the game is whist or hearts or poker
you who are away can never know. This card
playing is better than yours, for who does not
know that awful parlor of the summer resort
Iii the evening? Every evening shortly after
DARK the CARDS are produced and the old gen.
lor becomes theirs and no one else can enter
it, for If there is any conversation the whist
players frown the takers down. And thus il
happens that those who don't play whist are
driven into the halls or ont on to the porches.
1t is too soon to begin your inquiries about the
summer resorts. Stay where you are and get
the house in pleasant trim for the summer.
Don't think you have done this when you have
put everything that is pretty or that adds to
your comfort away. People must live in sum-
mer as well as in winter

remarked with grim SMILE they'd u been in
close quarters before. Each of the boys told
Mrs. Wedgeway what splendid fellow her hus-
band was, end though she had known it before,
the information made her so happy that she
doomed like rose. Finally the colonel called
the crowd to order and said:
Captain-excuse me-Major Wedgeway,
we've come down here for the express purpose
OF making you promise to strike tents and
come BACK to your old home, and we're not
going to leave the house until you do it. I'll

shaken promiscuously in hat,
and from the pile Mr.. Brown drew

TO HELP POOR MEN.
A Subscription Box for Those who
Need KeeleH Institute Helm.

Realizing the continued good of the
Keeley Institute and marked relief it has
afforded among the residents of Olympia,
THE TRIBUNE desires to extend the insti-
tute's work, especially among that class Of
people who are unable to meet the expense
themselves. In the furtherance Of this
plan contribution box has been prepared
for the purpose of raising fund which will
be known as The TRIBUNE fund for the
Kelley Institute, which subscription
THE TRIBUNE cheerfuIly heads with
the sum of five dollars. The box will be
placed at the corner of Main and Fourth
streets for the reception of contributions
however small.
In order that the work may be carried on
effectively and will, discretion, a commit
tee consisting of Judge Robinson, John f.
Convey and Rev. r. E. Drake will take
charge of the fund To those gentlemen,
persons whose circumstances will not per
NIT them to enjoy the benefits of the insti-
tute, must apply. If the case is a worthy
one, the committee will contribute as far
as possible to its relief. The public are
asked to contribute literally

COL. HAINEs' STRONG ARGUMENT.
Showing That Governor Ferry Called
Out the Troops.

Colonel Haines made vigorous argu-
ment before the supreme court today
showing clearly that Governor Ferry
called out the troops. First kilograms
from Governor Ferry plainly showed this;
second, that the governor had authority to
issue such orders; third, the troops being
in the service Of the state, their pay is a
proper charge against the military fund
fourth, the orders being regular, every sol
dier was bound to obey under penalty of
law; fifth, they were in the field for three
weeks, wearing the uniform of the state, all
of which was known to the governor and
received no objection.
