II don't know about that replied
the officer as he looked the man over

ever heard the senator swear"


g The Senator's Indignant Denial.
Senator Stewart sat in his lions den
in the Corcoran building, that same
Hateful room g. He is a man of much
business, and the commodious quarters
which are his at the capitol are not suit
able for his private affairs In justice
to him be it said that his reputation
is not that Of gallant or a rake. He
has a charming home and is very devot-
cd to his family. Personally he goes
but little into society, but rejoices in
!, small coterie Of choice spirits that
gather at John Chamberlain's, and of
which his colleagues, Senator Jones,
ex-senator William Malone, Don Cam
eron, Joe Blackburn and Vest of Mis-
souri, are the leaders. He is whole
souled, hearty and generous. This aft
fair is naturally distasteful to him,
but, like a true forty-niner, now that
he is in, he will fight it out to the bit
ter end Like wise man, when Mrs.
Glascock began to write threatening
letters back in May, he turned them
over to Mrs. Stewart, who sides warmly,
with her husband. It is needless to say
that the senator roundly and robustly
denies any improper relations with Mrs
Glascock.
..What,' he shouted, IT take up with
a creature like that! Why, here in
Washington we have to fight to keep
them away. This woman came to me
