Hawley of | Danbury an $1, 800 clerkship as chief clerk l of the folding department at Washing ton, the placa held under the last Cleve- land administration by George Lawter of Stamford. MT. Hawley is one of Danbury's leading politicians, an anti-machine man and hard party worker.
 SENATOR HAwLEY ON POLITICS.
 Foster Coates, one of the able syndicate writers, in an article in the W Washington Post of yesterday, concerning politics as a profession, quotes our able Senator Flaw ley as follows:
 "The attractiveness of political life de pends upon one's moral and intellectual character and motives. There are no cer- tain honors and rewards in politics. Many of the noblest students, speakers and writ CTS in the political field never received either an office or 8 dollar. Does politi- cal life pay2 Yes, but whether in heaven or hell dependsl The best way for young man to get on in politics is, first, to know something, and, second, to fight for it!'" A BRIGHT PRIVATE SECRETARY. strolled over to the treasury one day fast week and dropped in to see Treasurer Morgan, who brought his family from Con necticut this week. Upon my entrance to the office was greeted with pleasant smile by Private Secretary Charles G. Watson, who informed me of the treas- urer's absence. MT. Watson, who is q son of the late George Watson of Bridge port, has just turned his majority, and is, l understand, the youngest private secre- \ tsry holding office under such prominent official, in the history of the government. He is 8 man of extremely pleasing appear ance and we'll liked around the depart ment, being kind and courteous, but still just to everyone. MT. Watson was for mer1y come cted with the Bridgeport Farmer, and his career as g newspaper man helps to make him valuable assist ant to Treasurer Morgan.
 DID THEY HAVE TO wAITs A story is going the rounds of Washing ton about the manner in which the mem bers of the joint Congressional commit
 tee were treated by the president
 when they went to inform him | that congress stood ready to adjourn | and ask if he had any message to send be- | fore adjournment. The story goes that | when they reached the White House their | time was limited and they sent in word ! of the nature of their errand. The whole thing is mere formality ,and the president evidently 80 regarded 1t, for he sent word out that he was at lunch and invited the committee to cit down and wait until he had finished.
 | With less than thirty minutes in which | to execute their mission and get back to the capitol, the members of the committee
 winced under the presidents request and sent word back that they had not time to
 wait.
 In a few minutes the president appeared,
 evidently somewhat displeased at being
 disturbed at luncheon.
 The chairman of the committee prompt ly informed the chief executive of the na- | ture of their mission, and asked if there ! was any communication he cared to trans nit to congress before it adjourned. Ac- cording to one member of the committee
 the presidents reply was very informal. Congress has completed the work for
 which convened 1t, said he, and have
 nothing more to say to congress. With ' thlS the committee withdrew.
 SURE CURE.
 When 8 man at thirty-five has called the
 attention of the whole world to simple
 plan for checking the ravsges of cholera
 and proved it's merit, he is entitled to rest
 on his laurels and retire on perpetual
 pension large enough to surround him with princely luxuries. But he will neither rest on his laurels nor retire on princely and
 perpetual pension.
 Dr. Elmer Lee of Chicago, is at the Ar
 lington. He is enjoying the calm contrasts
 of Washington, and the comforts of home,
 and transacting 8 little business at the
 same time. He is the man who in the summer of 1892 forced upon the attention
 of the Russian government new and
 original method of treating cholera. It
 merely consisted in irrigation of the di- gestive trail, the stomach and intestines
 with hot soap suds, cleansing thsm of the cholera bacillus by the same process which would cleanse the hands of the cholera ba- cillus. It worked.
 Cholera, even under the best treatment
 hitherto established, is fatal in 50 per cent.
 of its attacks; under the conditions of filth, terror and fatalism where it finds its
 birth nine out of ten have fallen before the ! pSHtllouCo UT. Aoo CuEou CO p6I CeuE. or | the patients to whom his treatment was applied.
 The distinguished specialist doesn't look
 his thirty five years. He is blonde, blue | eyed, and American. He was born and
 schooled in Ohio, and studied medicine in | Europe. His mother was Gillespie, of the same sturdy, brsiny Scotch Irish stock | which gave Blaine to the country. "It has gratified me-" said he, "that the prediction which made in 1892 that there would be no cholera in America this year has been borne ont. As to the future I | cannot predict. There Is no need for chol-
 era to get in, but it may by accident. This, | however, is now absolute; No one, no na- | checked, cured and stamped out. It Is by feared as much as typhoid fever. Cholera
 attacks the poor and filthy; typhoid attacks | the rich as well as the poor.
 s.The plan introduced into the contag- | ious diseases bill last February of station ! ing twelve American physicians at the principal European ports of departure of | immigrants with plenary powers to secure i've days of isolation and inspection has
 been of the utmost benefit in protecting
 America from cholera invasion. It was at my suggestion that the amendment was in- troduced. The cholera microbes period of
