ten or twelve inches wide, are often
utilized for this purpose, three-quarters

purpose. After the bag is sewn up 1t

The Saint and the Onions.

A painter had been commissioned to
paint the image of saint on the refec-
tory wall of a convent The price Sup
ulated was very low. but it was agreed
that the painter should have his meals
provided at the expense of the convent
until the work was finished But the
only food supplied to the poor artist
was bread. onions and water. The day
for unwilling the fresco at length ar
rived. The friars stood round the art
list; the curtain was removed. It was
no doubt a very fine picture. but the
saint had his back turned toward the
spectators what does this meanP"
shouted the indignant prior. Padre
(father). I was compelled TO paint the
picture as you see it. for the saint could
not bear the smell of onions "-Church-

no man has greater respect for the sem
ate as a body than myself, for almost
every member of the august assemblage
is my friend; but as individuals they are
human and prone to human frailties.
The senate, in executive session, has OF
late been trying to shift its sins upon
other shoulders, and therein lies fault
too grave to forgive, too fragrant to de-
serve the charity of silence. The SEN
ate has excluded from its executive ses-
sions a number Of employees who have
for many years been faithful and hon.
orable servants, thereby casting upon
them the stigma of suspicion. But
worse still, a resolution was introduced
for the removal of the executive clerk.
James R. Young. That was an outrage,
an objectionable sin.
James E. Young never gave away any
secrets of executive sessions He is in
capable of a dishonorable act. The
secrets Of the senators belong to them
selves, and Mr.. Young has always held
them inviolate. But the senators them
selves have betrayed their own secrets,
from time to time, and they will always
do so. Many a small man has been re-
elected to the senate because the news
papers men have induced the dear peo-
pie to believe that he was both good
and great It is a very slight return
favor for senator to tell a correspond
ent valued item of forbidden news.
Every senator is under more or less OBJ
legations to his friends of the press.
James r. Young is newspaper man
himself, and is under no obligations to
his friends in the press gallery. There
is no reason why he should betray a
secret of the senate, and every reason
why he should not. He is gentleman
and his associates are gentlemen. There
is not reputable newspaper man in
Washington who would dare to even
dream of asking Mr.. Young a single ques-
ton concerning executive sessions. More
over, there is no necessity for so doing.
It is easier and more natural to have a
senator come to my Office or to my home
and tell me the story of the day; and
every newspaper man has had the same
experience.
The idea of these senators undertake
ing to make a scapegoat of a man who
is more honorable than many members
of their body would be ludicrous if it
We're not so censurable and reprehensi-
BILE. Why, they even turned old Father
Bassett out of the senate one day during
executive session, as though he would
give away their secrets That was even
more shameful. than their other efforts

Col clarkson,s Health.

WASHINGTON. April "a telegram
has been received regarding the con-
dition OF Col. J. S. Clarkson, chairman
of the national republican committee.
It states that Col. Clarkson's health Is
so bad that he can give no attention
whatever to private, much less official
correspondence. It holds out little
prospect that he will be able to attend
the convention at Minneapolis or to en-
gage actively in the campaign after
wards. Col. Clarkson Is suffering from
his old acknowledgements this
attack is proving much more stubborn
than any of its predecessors

MONSIEUR, THE vISCoUNT DESTREvusLE.
When Mile. Campignon made UP her
mind to be gracious, few persons could
be more agreeable, and Kate was de-
lighted to find that she came down to
breakfast next morning in one OF her
pleasantest moods, even going SO far as
to make jocular allnsioh to her dis
obedience in dancing with Mr.. Dunbar,
an offense which was setting a little
heavily on the girls conscience. At
first Kate thought that mademoiselle,
having compromised herself, was not
inclined to be censorious, but she soon
discovered that she had an Interior mo-
tive for her sweetness.

witness They rose as quickly as possible,
as did Commissioner Raum, who be-
came almost as excited as his op-
ponent. The members of the commit
tee and Mr.. Cooper seized Mr.. Enloe
and held him before he could get
around the corner of the table. They
forcibly prevented him from proceeding
further and in the confusion Mr.. Enloe
exclaimed: ''You did say it." To
which the commissioner retorted: 81
say L didn't
As Mr.. Enloe at this made an effort
to free himself the commissioner shout
ed: 81 don't want to have any trouble
with you, but the man don't live that I
fear
Mr.. Enloe renewed his struggles, but
his efforts to get away were unavailing.
The commissioner reiterated, 1.-The man
don't live that fear" and then to avoid
trouble he took up his hat and marched
out of the room, Chairman Wheeler,
just as he was going out of the door,
calling out that there was no need for
the witness to leave as he would be
amply protected
Judge Payson remarked that the wit
ness had a right to leave when he was
so treated, to which Mr.. Wheeler re-
piled that the committee had protected
and would protect the witness
To Mr.. Enloe Mr.. Wheeler expressed
regret at the scene, said that he could
go on the stand and correct statement
that Mr.. Enloe thought untrue and the
committee could judge between wit
nesses, and added that it was improper
that violence should be manifested in
such a place.
After expressions of regret by MEM
bers at such an occurrence, the commit
tee adjourned

One of the most delightful effects In
vestibule draping is obtained by the use
of lace and silk combined For this
purpose, take length OF draping lace
with both edges alike, and about three
eighths of yard in width. and tack it in
the center of the glass door; then take
India silk Of any harmonious tint, and
shirr It on to the slender brass rods,
which come for the purpose, hanging it
on each side of the lace panel; for broad,
low windows, this is equally effective.
The japanese Eaikimonos, painted on
boiling cloth or thin silk, make artistic
substitutes for lace, and are even newer.

Especial washington Letter.1


Some of the singular circumstances
and environments of the news-gather-
ing profession are worthy Of record in
the papers Of our day.
A few weeks ago wrote you letter
about executive sessions of the senate,
telling you how the potent. grave and
reverend seignors Of the senate try to
keep their proceedings secret, and how
they are published in detail by the daily
papers. In the past it has been fun to
the correspondents to witness the antics
Of these solemn solons in their pre-
tended efforts to ascertain the source OF
sources whence the newspapers procure
their information. Recently, however.
the matter has become serious
The senators have been acting in a
manner most reprehensible. Probably

he must take a tankard of her famous

though they took their meals at the

joyed them in state alone in the great

GREEN B. RACM- only by a prompt
adjournment The trouble began with
an inquiry as to whether or not Com
missioner Raum himself had not fur
nished Special Examiner Greenwalt
with SIS to be used for the purpose of
entrapping an attorney named Foote, of
Kalamazoo, Mich, suspected of being
engaged in buying forbidden informa-
ton in reference to pension cases
The commissioner said that he had
not given Mr.. Greenwalt the money.
MIR. Enloe asked if after an adjourn
ment of the committe on a previous day
Mr.. Raum had not, right at the table
around which they were sitting, so
stated to him (Mr. Enloe).
The commissioner replied that he had
not, for such was not the fact
Mr.. Enloe repeated the query several
times, which led Mr.. Payson to inquire
If Mr.. Enloe did not already have a suf-
fciently square denial from the witness.
Commissioner Raum, turning round
in his chair. added: ''Do you want
smother denial?' addressing himself to
Mr.. Enloe.
That gentleman flushed quickly at
the remark and exclaimed hotly: ''You
are liar; you did say So" He then rose
