Lewis who was said to be the largest
Senator who had ever belonged TO his
branch Of the government The ex-
pense Of these funerals has since then
curiously varied. For Henry Clay's in
terment it cost s5,447O2; for John c.
Calhoun's. S31O6.47; for Charles Sum
ner's. S46S714. The largest sum ever
paid out was when Senator Hearst OF
California died. This might naturally
have been supposed to be on account of
the long distance Of his State from
Washington, and yet it appears that
John f. Miller. another Senator from
California. cost the government but
So. 532.S4 for his burial. There is
charged as little as $3.50 in the case
of three Senators Of modern times, but
they probably died IN the recess Of Con-
gress.
