SENATOR GoRMAN, in some remarks he
made in the Senate in opposition to an
Appropriation for public buildings, spoke
of the serious and alarming condition
which confronted the country, expressed
the belief that only the borders of the
trouble had been touched and said that
extraordinary action would have to be
taken by the treasury department or
else congress would have to reassemble
before next July to meet the condition.

from agreeing to all the amendments
that were offered making appropriations
for or increasing the limit of cost of pub
Lie buildings.

A good story Is told by certain

during the recent rainy. weather the
representative was walking along the
avenue in the vicinity of Sixth street
ut very late hour. 1t was raining
hard, the cable cars had stopped for the
night, and there were few people ON
the streets. The congressman was
hurrying to his hotel, tightly grasping
an umbrella, which was pulled down
over his shoulders. AS he ncared Sixth
street he noticed on the corner an elder
Iy little woman bundled up and holding
n wornout parasol over her head. AS
he approached the woman she said:
mister, will you please tell me how
to get to Georgetown? I'm stranger
in the city and want to go to my sons
house."

gresham; ''why, my good woman. you
are two or three miles from there and
the cars have stopped running. You had
better take cab"

poor woman. "Thcn I'll have to walk,

heavily us she drew her thin shawl more
tightly over her shoulders.

LowelI.s Life at College.

"In the pleasant surroundings OF
his boyhood James Russell Lowell
went to college, enjoyed the Hasty
pudding club, "says Professor Charles
Eliot Norton, twas made its secre-
tary, and wrote good many poems,
and liked the reading of verse better
than he did the learning of his les
sons, and liked better to read in the
alcove of the old library.
'He was apparently lazy and did
not do his college work, and toward
the end of the senior year he was sent
to Concord. 1t was a source of great
regret to him because he was class
poet, and he was forbidden to come
back to read his class poem to his fel-
low students on class day. 1t was in
1S48 that he seemed to have come to
the high tide Of his power. In this
year he wrote most of the first series
of Biglow Papers, which everybody
knows to be so bright and animated. |"

A Wrinkle For Husbands.

The young wife of an engineer resid-
ing near the Thiergarten had gone to
spend the Easter holidays with her moth
er in Magdeburg and appeared so well
satisfied with the change that she pro-
longed her stay, Notwithstanding the
pathetic appeals of her lonesome hus-
band. At last our involuntary grass
widower devised an original plan for in
ducing his little wife to return to her
hearth and home. He got friend of his
who kept camera to take photo of his
house and send it to his wife, with let
ter stating that her intense longing for
home would no doubt be somewhat miti-
gated when she saw that the old place
remained as she had left it and that she
could now stay with her mamma as long
as she liked.
The very next train brought my lady
unannounced, greatly excited and ac-
companied by her mother. Whence this
sudden apparition? The photo in ques-
tion represented our engineer standing
in front of the house and engaged in a
lively conversation with the young lady
next door, whose laughing features were
distinctly portrayed in the picture. Ex-
plantations followed 10 the effect that the
whole affair was joke, but madam did
not quite see it and staid at home instead
of going back TO Magdeburg with her
mamma. .-Berlner Tageblatt.
