WASHINGTON, October i3.-No apart
msnt in the Capitol attracts more at
tention from visitors than what Is
known as the Speakers lobby. Four
doors open into it from the chamber OF
the House OF Representatives. 1t is
about ninety feet long add thirty feet
wide and runs from the west 70 the
east corridor OF the House. It's French
windows open upon marble balcony,
facing south. From this balcony
there is a magnificent view Of
the two banks Of the Potomac.
4 striking feature OF the landscape, is
the arsenal in which Harold, Atzerott,
Payne aud Mrs Surratt were executed.
The room itself is the most gorgeous In
the House wing. Great plate glass mir
rors, with gilt frames, az opposite ends
OF the room, make 10 appear more spa
clous than it really is. Then there are
marble fire. places with brass-handled
shOyels, lssther-COvered sofas and
chairs, and tables for the
convenience OF members. The
floor is tiled. but foot
falls near the chamber are deadened
with rugs. The only inharmOniOus CD

Following him appears face and tG-
ure well known, that OF James K. Polk,
the only Speaker who ever became
President Of the United States. His
face is clean shaver, forcibe AMI intel
lectual. and the bristling hair aptly JUS
{. feS the name Of young Hickory" OPP
pl ed to him in the campaign OF 1914.
The black stock, white dickey, chin
collar and close-cut coat Of fifty years
ago tell the times in which he lived.
Behind him, you see the figure Of
another courtv Virgiuian. 1t is that
OF the Honorable Robert VI. T. Hunter,
OF the Twenty-sjXth Congress
He also left the Speakers
chair for the Senate. He looks
ikea near relative of Senator John w.
Daniel. This appearance is borne out
bv the long rolling black hair and turn
ed-dowu collar not Bvronic in its pro-
portions. A plain black tie, coat and
waist-coat gave Mr.. Hunter the perfec-
ton Of dignity.
Behind him are John White OF Ken
lucky, John w. Jones Of Virginia, and
John W. Davis OF Indiana. In personal
appearance each represents his State.
White is thin and angular 10 feature
and has the look Of a Kentucky quarter
horse. The eve is bright and the face in
dicates intellectual strength. His attire
Is neat yet extremely plain. Jones has
the long hair, the full eye, and the
expressive features Of the old time Vir-
giuian. Dressed In black with plated
dickey and a rolled-down collar, he
gnap,s rhsarya4 and u,Ndacr uyhan com
pared with those who have gone before
him. Davis has as striking face as
any in the group. The large nose, firm
mouth, full eye and well-set head irdi-
cate man OF great magnetic power
His shoulders are thrown back and he
has the chest of a Roscoe Conkling. 10
figure and dress be recalls the Tall
Sycamore Of the Wabash.
The next TO approach is a tall gentle
man with fine figure and q Well-mod-
eled head. The hair and whiskerS are
grey and the costume modern. This
gentleman is Robert c. Winthrop, Of
Massachusetts, Speaker In 1s4S and
1S49. The painting was presented TO
20 the House by the State, and was evil
IDENTIFY made quarter or a century
after Mr.. Winthrop served as Speaker
The iour-in-hand tie, frock coat and
stand-up collar were not worn In 1s4s.
This stately and impressive gentleman,
who is still alive, also lett the Speakers
chair 10 60 to the United States Senate.
The man behind him is one OF an len
titely different type, broad shoulde fed,
round faced and sturdy. He is sftrue

Ing collar that would have excited the
admiration OF the late General Spinola.
Henry Clay was the first man who was
ever chosen Speaker on his first appear
ance In the House.
We next see q grave gentleman with
a sacerdotal air. He wears the old roll
ing white cravat, high-necked black
coat, and tiny sldewhiskers. he Is evil
IDENTIFY a South Carollnian, not quite up
in dress with the times in which he
lived. BE is by no means an ideal
Speaker. He looks more like callow
and sallow theological student than
like a presiding officer of the House,

Of South Carolina. He was Speaker OF
the Thirteenth Congress and was after

she thought there was more exercise In
watching singles and doubles. Mr.. Ad-
ans came over in the evening 10 ask II
he could invite a couple OF friends 10
play tennis on the morrow. He was
granted that privilege.
Mr.. and Mrs Adams and their friends
arrived on the following morning just
In time to freeze out Mr.. Atkins aud
Mr.. Bland. One Of the friends borrow
ed Jennie's racket. The other would
have borrowed Maude's, but Mr.. Atkins
had broken IL. In this emergency,
Mr.. Adoms borrowed 3 racket from u
Mr.. Stevens. As Mr.. Stevens Snd his
family had not been invited 10
play on Jennls'S court, they regarded
the borrowing OF the racket as piece
of unparalleled impotence. They were
therefore very much offended with
Jennie, who had known nothing about
it, and the Stevens Immediately gave .

Following in Mr. Cheeves' footsteps
IS Hhilip P. Barbour, OF Virginia. 1t
Is the face OF an old Dominion farmer.
Scanned with deep lines, it is thought
ful and expressive. The fire OF his In
tellect is shown In his deep-seated
ewes. The attire has carelessness
about ii found only along the Eastern
Shore. The collar Is part Of the shirt
and lacks starch. The white waist
coat Is low cut and wrinkled, and the
familiar black coat looks little seeoy'
Barbour was Speaker in 1921. Andrew
jackson afterwards made him JUS
tice OF the Supreme Court.
Following Mr. Barbour comes another
Virglnian OF rare old stock, Andrew
Stevenson. The contrast between tho
appesrance Of Barbour and Stevenson
Is strongly marked. The latter has
magnificent presence aud elegance I'M
paralleled among Speakers OF the
House. The face looks like that OF one
high in Episcopal authority. The head
is well set and the outline extremely
sristocratic. An immaculate stand-up
collar closely clasps the chin IL Is
held with a long white crayat, ueo IN
front, low down, with the eGqulslte
grace characterzing dandies in the
time Of George ". A plated shirt Is
brought into prominence by oroau
black ribbon, from which monocle is
suspended. The black coat is tightly
buttoned with q dignifed wrinkle at
the buttohole, and the figure is that OF
a roval and most courtly +, f. V.
And now We behold a man evidently
OF Scotch descent. The hristlng halr'
military whiskers, stern face and digni-
fed presence remind you of Thomas II.
Benton. He is John Bell, Of Tennessee,
once a candidate for President, and
Speaker Of the TWenty-third Congress-
The picture was taken IN his younger
DAYS. His dress is a counterpart OF that
OF Andrew Stevenson. The shirt front
is unplaited yet adorned by tiny SIN
w,tcb guard. Bell left the Speakers
chair to take place in William Henry
WarrIson's cabinet.

eye, the picture looks coarse and unat-
tractive. The colorng Is said to be
magnificent, and in process Of time the
picture will undoubtedly tone down
until its beauties are apparent TO every
beholder. As ii is now, however, the
most OF Mr.. Reeds constituents would
condemn it. Indeed, one ofSthem stood
gazing at it for full five minutes, some
months ago, and then with a look Of
disgust, turned to a friend and said:
oSome durn Democrat done this"
Speaker Crisp's portrait is not among

predecessors, he may yacate the Speak
er's chair for a seat in the Senate.

Characteristics of Criminals.

The measure around the skull of the criminal, taken horizontally, is always less than that around the skull of the upright man, and his brain is found to be lighter. his constitution feebler, too, and his heart is weak. But even among culprits themselves there are great diff ferences-thus the highway robber is naturally found to be taller than the pickpocket, and the bones of his skeleton are stronger. He and the murderer, when they write at all, write a large round hand with many fourishes. The thief writes with effeminacy, small hand.
 These people are apt to give the stu dent surprises. He finds, for instance, that they are not habitually cruel. Wan ton murderers will be kind to pet. Where they are cruel it is the women who are most so, and who discover the most shocking forms of cruelty, and al- though a few have talent they are all wanting in the ability to use their talent to advantage, but most of them have great stupidity.
 They are fighty and faithless always, clinging long to nothing. And with it all they are extraordinarily superstitious. The one satisfactory thing that comes out of all this investigation Is the estab- ishment of the fact that education di- minishes the tendency to crime, and that as by slow degrees the day shall come when a whole generation is educated the children of that generation will be horn with less and less tendency to crime or to crime made easy.-Harper's Baxsr.

A Remarkable Diet.

All that appertains to food for inv aids comes naturally under woman's prov ince; therefore 1t sounds very strange to folks who are experienced in the dietary of invalids to hear what Senator Stan ford's food had been restricted to for six weeks previous to his death. Unless there were complications that rendered other foods impossible 1t would seem that the last thing to give man with heavy apoplectic tendencies would be 8 diet of beef. Meat, and especially beef, increases the pressure of the blood on the arteries, which have already very thin walls in sufferers with such tenden- cies. A diet of fruits or vegetables or skimmilk suits most people under such conditions, when beef only makes mat ters worse. There may have been cir cumstances rendering fruit improper or milk indigestible, but there seems hard ly anything a man could take that would make more danger to his circulatory sys- tenn then fresh hashed meat.-Philadal- phia Ledger.

Eter- nifty alone can tell the good accomplish ed.

4 DEAR EXPERIENCE.

The adventure of Mir Francis A. Peet, of this village, in New York city last week afforded the metropolitan press an opportunity to publish sensational ar ticles and give MT Peet quite an unen- viable notoriety. It is needless to say that MT Peet's adventure was quite a bonanza to metropolitan reporters, and they worked the mine for all it was worth Connecticut daily papers have also published versions of the adventure of our townsman. The NEWS cannot suppress the fact that Mir Peet had a dear experience, and yet the NEWS is disposed to take charitable view of the affair, inasmuch as it knows the example, the environment, and the tendencies which Mir Peet has had to contend with. When 8 graduate of Keely institute temporarily relapses in a moment of weakness or folly, The NEWS is dis posed to exercise charity, and instead of censuring the unfortunate man, the NEWS would commend him for the valiant struggles he has made in the past, and will make in the future, against King Alcohol MT Peet had dear ex- perience last week. His punishment was sufficient without any being added by the newspapers. Without going in- to details the simple facts of the case, as near as we can ascertain them, are as follows:
 On Monday, Sept. 18th, MT Peet went to New York on business. On Tuesday in moment of weakness or folly he took drink of intoxicants. That drink paved the way for others, with the result that on Wednesday evening policeman found MT Peet in a sad condition near the corner of Third Avenue and Forty. third street. Mir Peet had evidently been assaulted and robbed. Both of his eyes were blackened and his face scratched and bruised. His watch, his diamond pin and his diamond ring were missing and probably between $200 and $500 had been taken from his pockets, as he had only about BIO left. The policeman arrested him and locked him up for the night in the station house, and the next morning MT Peet was brought before the police court Word was sent to MT H. P. Tracy, who was stopping at the Grand Union Hotel. MT Tracy soon appeared in court, and on his agreeing to take charge of MT Peet the Justice discharged Mir Peet, and in due time he was brought to his home in Canaan.
 Mir Peet's case should be an object lesson a warning to young men to touch not, taste not, handle not that which in- toxicates.

Disappointed.

Associate Editor John Beckley, of the CONN. WESTERN NEWS, came over to visit "The Colonel and I" last night, and to see "Lottie" repeat the pirouette on one foot, holding the other in one hard above her head-which interesting performance, however, was omitted, in deference to the pathetic appeal of some sensitive souls who never go to a show any way y.-Winsted Herald.
 We don't think we were the only one disappointed because we noticed Editor Rody and some of the other bachelors in the audience, who wore look of ex- pectancy up to the time that the cur tain dropped on the last act. Rody also wore his most powerful pair of specs, possibly to better hear the jokes of Gallagher and West.

The ball game between Poughkeepsie and Winsted at the latter place last Sat urday was stopped by rain at the end of the 8th inning, the score being Pough- keepsie 2, Winsted 4. It was kind of a handicap game as the Bridge city boys were only eight and had to pick up play CT in Winsted, and Daily didn't pitch as there was no catcher that could hold him; he played short stop. Winsted was strengthened for the occasion by Cannon, pitcher, from Northam pton.
