time for accommodations at one OF the
big hotels in New York.
A Renaissance OF the heated term is
found In the bill of local grocer. from
him the Senate purchased at dlHeren5
times forty cases of apollinarls water,
thirty-two boxes of lemons and several
thousand pounds of sugar. This ex-
penditure for soft drinks is going on now
at rapid rate.
The expenses of the committee which
attended the funeral of Senator Gibson
of Louisiana were only S401 Tor hotel Dllls,
ETC., at Lexington, and 1887 Tor railroad
fare. The undertaker's bill was $40.
The Senate paid y601. so for the under
takers bill at Senator Kenna's funeral
and 81, 9S1 for railroad fare and supplies
en- route to Charleston, w. Va. one OF
the items in the expenses OF Senator Glib
sons funeral was S15 for musical ser
vices at the church in Lexington and $40
for the services of the priests there.
Some people say s'ki-neenn for quiz
nine. Some people do not. This is the
point of a conversation which Senator
Mitchell of Oregon held recently with
Representative Blnger Hermann OF that
state. Mr.. Hermann was educated IN
Maryland, but he went 60 Oregon when
he was quite young man. Mr.. Mitchell
was educated in Pennsylvania and he re-
NAMED there long enough to practice
law. Mr.. Mitchell has a French duke Tor
a son-inlaw and he mingies in the giddy
whirl of society. Mr.. Hermann has no
social aspirations and he is above all
things plain, blunt man. Now out in
Oregon such choice chronological morsels
as Tillamook and Wallowa and Kubli and
Scappoose are daily diet. Mr.. Hermann
doesn't have to ask anybody how to pro-
nounce them. But since MIR. Hermann
went into the west a good many words
that were doubtless familiar to him in his
youth have become Anglicized or Gal
licized or in some other way altered.
A few days ago Mr.. Hermann was COM
planning of feeling unwell. Washington
has the reputation of being strongly
malarial ana when the average Washing
tonian has 'sthat tired feeling' he al
ways thinks that he has malaria. Mr..
hermann was quite sure that he had it
and he sat on couch in the Senate
chamber telling Mr.. Mitchell all about
it. Mr.. Mitchell was much interested and
very sympathetic.
why don't you see good DOCTOR, he
said, ''and take a course of k1-neen?''-
for so the senator pronounced the
familiar word.
ST believe L IL do that'' said Mr.. Her
mann. 81 have been taking lot of
kwy mine and it doesn't seem to do me
bit of good.'
Secretary Morton attracted great deal
of attention recently by sending dis
patch to Gray Gables tell the president to
anchor his house il preparation for the
great storm that was expected on the
middle Atlantic coast. Possibly a small
grain of envy or few particles of emuIa
tion lodged in the heart OF Senator Man
derson, who comes from Mr.. Morton s
state. He was walking down the street,
going away from the Capitol two days
after the big storm, accompanied by a
gentleman who is connected with the Of
fetal staff of the senator. Looking at the
sky in q meditative way, the senator
stopped on street corner and said i'm
pressively: ssThere are all the indica-
tions of a severe storm coming. Out in
my country, if people saw these condi-
tions, they would prepare for a cyclone. "
The gentleman who accompanied the
Senator was much impressed with his
knowledge of meteorological signs and
weather omens. Not long afterward, he
returned to the capitol, and passing
through the lobby, behind the Senate
chamber, saw man with a chart in his
which is hung there for the benefit of
senators who are interested In the
weather. He paused in front of the map,
and the weather man, seeing that he was
interested, began to explain the signs to
him.
ssThis ring" he said, ssshows that
severe storm, almost hurricane, is COM
ing up from the direction of Key West,
and that it will probably strike the south
Atlantic coast and be felt in Washing
ton
Snow that is remarkable coin
cidence,' - said the gentleman listening.
81 was just talking with Senator Mander-
son and he told me that the appearance of
the heavens indicated TO him the approach
of severe storm.''
The weather man smiled in a sickly
way. Senator Henderson was here
about ten minutes ago and l explained
this matter to him very fully he said.
And Mr.. Manderson's reputation as q
weather prophet went glimmering.
