PHILATELIC FRATERNITY.

While the advantages and benefits of
Dbilately are claimed TO be many by its
disciples, it has none more marked than
the fraternal feeling that it engenders.
Collectors in different continents have,
through the medium of their hobby. estab-
lished friendships that have been as great
a source of pleasure as their stamps.
One of the direct results of this COM
munity of interest that prevails among
stamp collectors is the establishment of
philatelic societies and clubs.
These assume widely different scopes.
In this country they comprise national,
State and local associations. Of the ma
;ional the most prominent and advanced
is the American PhilateIic Association,
which has membership Of nearly six hun
dred members, which number is being
steadily increased. Its main objects are

Humpty Dumpty is Senatorial courtesy

their boots, and has not allowed them to
speak until they have sat at least two
years in the chamber. 1t has made them
get down and lick the feet of the gray
boards of our House of Lords. and it has
turned the United States Senate into a

that knocked Humpty Dumpty down, and
the United States Senate of to-day is
new Senate, modelled upon new lines and
filled with new, wide-awake men. That

Consider the Source and Believe.

In the western part of Massachusetts, a
man had fine stock farm. But few
weeks ago a fire broke out in the barn and
burned not only the structure and the hay.
but most of the animals also. After the
fire the owner walked over the ruins. It
was sad sight 10 see the charred bodies
of his fine Jersey cows and his high
spirited h0ISes, TO say nothing of the
money lost with them. But at the end Of
the barn he saw sight which touched
him more than all the rest. There sat an
old back hen. He wondered that she did
not move her head to look at him as he
came near her, but he Thought he must be
asleep. He poked her with his cane. and
10 his surprise the wing which he touched
fell into ashes. Then he knew that she
had been burned to death. But out from
under her wing came a faint little peep.
and pushing her aside with his cane, the
man fOund-what dn you think ?-ten little
live yellow chickens! The poor hen had
sacrificed her own life TO save them. and
had held her place in the fire, as Casabi-
anca held his on the burning deck. That
sight touched the man more than every
thing else.

whom Senator Wolcott charged with
wearing dirty linen, and concerning whom
he quoted the Spanish proverb-
ITS waste of latber 10 shave an ass"
Wolcott may find that Carey has the
kicking powers of an ass before he gets
through, tor he is a fighter from the Willis
of the Rockies. he stands over six feet in
his stockings. His fist is like a piece of
beef, and his broad shoulders are topped
off with half bald head which looks for
all the world like that OF James A. Gar
field. His eyes are sharp blue. His
manner is positive, and his muscles and
feelings have been toughened by his hav-
ing been the chief CO boy of the State of
Wyoming for a decade or more. He is a
man of brains and common-sense. VOL
colt overdrew il when he said that he did
not wear clean linen, for he is, in fact, as
we'll dressed as any business man In the
Senate. He is an Eastern man and his
native State is Delaware. He is well edu-
Gated and we'll read. and he was in Con-
gress six years before he came to the Sem
ate. He has a good memory and he will
never forget Wolcott, and l doubt whether
WOlcott ever forgets him.
| would like to see the two Senators
fight it out in the ring. Nolcott is shorter
than Carey, but he has the frame Of a
prize-fghter. and he could knock down an
OK with his fist. he weighs two hundred
pounds, and as he walks about the Senate
he seems To be carrying an invisible chip
on his shoulder. He is an iconoclast as to
the Senate, and he feels himself The equal
of any man in the chamber He is a good
looking man. His big round head is set
well down upon a pair Of broad shoulders
His strong jaw is we'll shaven. His mus
tache bristles with courage and his blue
eyes look 6ercely out from under white
brows. He has more nerve than any other
man in the hamber, and he delights in
high stakes, whether his game be politics
or poker. You have heard how he
lost $4,000 at Phil Daley's clubhouse
at Long Branch about five years ago.
He staked this amount on one turn

ator Hill is typical fighter. His eyes
are so deep set that his forehead cuts
them in half as they peep out from under
his brows- He is as ambitious as Lueifer,
and while he is not speaking he sits in
his seat and plots, now and then gripping
his chair with his hand as bright thought
strikes him, and now figuring away on
long slips of paper. He reads the news
papers and spends great deal of time
doing nothing.
Senator Hill has some ways which make
me think of that other Isbmaeite who sits
Chandler of New Hampshire. whom Sem
ator Proctor says he likes. but it is an ac-
Quired taste.
Chandler reminds you of a snappy
Scotch terrier, while Hill has the aspect Of
bulldog. Chandler nnoys you, but Hill
bites to kiln and hangs on to the DEATH
Senator Chandler is the lost nervous man
IN the Senate. He is as straight as a
walking-stick and not much bigger. His
head does not weigh more than Grover
Cleveland's fist, and it is covered with
pepDery-gray hair, which covers the crown
IN the back and comes out into a full
beard on the face. He has dark COM
piexion, nervous. swapping eyes and
vltr0llc tongue. He does not weigh over
125 pounds, and had Senator Blackburn
tried TO break his neck instead of pulling
his ears when he had that fuss with him
not long ago. he could, l venture. have
snapped 1t In two with jerk. Senator
Chandler has had wide acquaintance
with public men and measures. but he is
no respecter of traditions nor of persons.
He is not bad looking. and he makes he
think of one of those ripe red peppers.
they are pretty enough, but vixen you
bite into them you wish you hadn't.
Speaking of Chandler, just in front OF
him sits Eugene Hale, whose father-in-
law was Zach Chandler. [ don't think

and who has evidently forgotten the days
when he came to Congress and was nick
named by his enemies Jim Blaine's Little
Bub." He has made a name for himself
since then. and his wife has brought him
fortune She inherited one-half of her
fathers estate, and Hale is probably rich
man to-day, because Zach Chandler
thought thousand dollars was a bigger
thing than college education. His father
had sent him to the common schools, and
one day told him that he would give him
$1,000 cash to start him in business, or. if
be preferred, he could have instead of this
a collegiate education. Young Zach chose
the money, and he invested 1t in dry goods,
and this formed the foundation of the mil
lions he left His daughter has now one
of the finest houses in Washington, which
was built with part of the money, and
Senator Hale lives there with her and her
mother.
As to rich men in Congress, the iudica-
tons are that there will be less money
than at any similar time for years. The
gold bugs of the Senate are having their
hard times, and the investments of many
of them are turning out badly. Congress
sional wealth is always overeStimated,

Charley Foster, when he was Secretary of
the Treasury and was living within a
stones throw of the White House, was in
fact on the verge of bankruptcy. He sup
posed that ne was worth fortune and he
had overdrawn his own bank account
many times len thousand. He had way
OF giving blank checks to mem ers of his
family and they filled these out to suit
themselves. This of course made no dif-
ference in his aggregate losses, but
it showed loose way Oh doing
business which no one but a mil
lionaire could stand. Secretary Rusk. who

face did not change, and he left the room
as though he had been playing for coppers.
Wolcott is known in the West as a plunger.
lie has never cared for money, and his
genius is such that he has been able to
make and spend fortunes. He is not man
of coarse Instincts. The blue blood which
flows in his veins has come down from the
most famous families of our colonial his
tory. and he is one of the best bred men IN
the United States Senate. One of his an
ces 0rs signed the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and another succeeded Alexander
Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury.
Wolcott went to school at Yale. He has
always been a great reader, and he has
more rare books in his library than George
Frisbie Hoar of Massachusetts. He is one
of the best types of well-educated New
Englanders who have gone out to the
Rockies and fought their way up 10 fame
and fortune.
The same may be said OF Dubois. the
Ishmaelite Senator from Idaho. He sits
near Wolcott. He is a straight, tall,
br0ad-shouldered giant, with hair as
black as Wolcott's well-poiished boots,
and with eyes which fairly jump in their
brightness and life. He has a straight,
belligerent nose. and he keeps his mouth
shut as he sits in his seat In the Senate.
He is graduate of Yale, aud his nerve is
known from the fact that he was once
United States Marshal Of Idaho and had
to keep ali the roughs OF the Territory in
check. He has no respect for traditions,
and he will probably be heard from before
this session is over.
The queerest gamecock in the Senatorial
pit, however. Is David B. Hill. He has
hoped to the front during the first few
weeks of his term, and he jumps up and
crows fiercely at his own brother Demo-
Gratis and at the fghting-cocks on the
other side of the chamber. He wears
